Stores. Studios. Visual Novel Community and Database. Home : Inform. Infinite Game Works. Why you shouldn’t make a game (or, why you should make a visual novel) I recently stumbled across the following post on a game development forum: Hey everyone!
So I guess I’m looking for advice on how to start assembling a small team of people who want to create an Indie game. I’ve got the writing skills, but I don’t have any artistic or coding skills whatsoever. I have no idea where to start in the process of working on an Indie game. I’m especially worried that I have no money to pay anyone with, so this would be strictly to see if we could cobble together a game and get it sold on a platform.
Making and selling visual novels and dating sims - indiePub Games. Although both visual novels (VNs) and dating sims have been gaining popularity in western markets, many people still don't know exactly what they are or, more likely, have the wrong idea about them. Visual novels are a graphic novel of sorts with flat or basically animated tableaus and a story with optional paths the reader can follow. Dating sims are very similar in that the reader chooses from on-screen options but the purpose is to develop personal relationships with in-game characters.
