Hi guys!

Since I'm working on my first VN I'm curious about what players generally expect from a paid visual novel in terms of visual content.

For a visual novel with around 7 hours of playtime, what would you consider a reasonable amount of:

• Unique backgrounds

• Character sprites

• Animated characters (e.g. Live2D models)

Would you expect a game to have mostly static sprites, or would individually animated characters make a noticeable difference to you?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

So, I'll finish my first visual novel soon and I thought about my next project!

My first game is a fantasy-adventure VN with otome elements. For my second game I would like to go into a different direction. Therefore my question:

Would you be interested in a steampunk mystery VN with darker vibes but also otome elements?

Would you like to play a game with the possibility for bad endings or do you prefer games with only a good ending? :)

What are some things you learned during development? :)

Hi everyone!

​

I’m currently developing a visual novel and I’m trying to figure out the best way to price it. Since pricing for VNs seems to vary a lot depending on length, art quality, and content, I’m a bit unsure what would be considered fair or standard.

​

How do you usually decide on pricing for your visual novels? Are there any general guidelines or things you recommend taking into account?

​

Thanks a lot in advance!

Where/how do you guys search for new interesting visual novels? :) Does it depend on the genre?

What kind of visual novels do you guys like to read? What genres are your favourites? :) Or do you like to try something new?

Hi guys! Short question: Every time I export an animation from Live2D, the quality becomes really bad and everything looks pixelated. It looks fine inside the editor, but after exporting the result is much worse.

​

Is there a way to export animations at a higher quality, or am I missing some settings? Any help would be appreciated.
