Bigger Than You Think

I have decided that VN is going to have a lot more RPG elements than I initially decided. I blame this song. The intro to the song, right up till the part where he sings is absolutely perfect for a pre battle scene (Enia - Drayden showdown anyone?). Not to mention the theme of the song is so fitting to the game. The more I think about this game, the bigger and badass it gets. Definitely going to need to hire a programmer for this. Especially if I decided to do a little open world exploration later on in the game. I've always been a sucker for an open world platform RPG. I'm so pumped for this game, and even though it's pretty linear in story, it's going to be expansive in the routes you can get to it. This pushes the estimated release date much later though. I hope I'm able to write most of the actual script soon though. At least for up to chapter five. That way I can start seeing if I can get a more diverse team to help me.

Not Your Standard VN on the block

You know, the more I delve into the VN/KN community, the more I realize that my game is really, really weird. It's not an otome, stat raising game, it's a GxG game, which is rare in of it's self, technically it has RPG elements, it doesn't fit the shonen action VNs though because the fighting isn't the main point, it doesn't have a lot of choices that affect the ending, and it's really, really long. I'm kinda afraid no one's going to like it. For a long time I've been harboring this story, trying out different mediums to tell it, and I honestly feel that a VN piece is the best way to tell it. It's has the visual aspect that I want, but at the same time, it's very text oriented. Maybe I'm just doubting myself because no one seems very interested even though it's super early in the production phase, so of course no one is going to know about it. I don't know. I'm probably just getting way too ahead of myself. Besides, maybe my super weird, long ass VN is gonna be so different that people may read it just because it's not your standard fare.

Hopefully my oddball of a game is interesting enough that someone other than the friends I forced to play it will like it or at least want to try it out to tell me it's crap.
