Maybe use RPG maker? http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/
I'm going to do this.
If you could get it like the short novel thread where everyone adds a little bit of stupid crap, this could be good. RPG Maker 2000 or 2003 are both excellent (free) choices for making a shitty game.
>>5 awww yeah haha i had to make a visual novel in Ren'Py for Japanese coursework at university, it was funny
I did all the voices and Ultraman and a cute girl fall in love with me. Also I was wearing a really cool jumper.
Let's try to make a short Ren'Py visual novel as an experiment. Check this link to learn the syntax: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/quickstart.html
The following posters give names for:
>>10 Male Lead
>>11 Childhood Friend
>>12 Little Sister
>>13 Mature Woman
>>14 SECRET BONUS CHARACTER
Character summary optional.
>>15-55 add Ren'Py formatted lines as they please. Any unformatted lines or syntax that breaks the game will just be converted to narration or ignored. Let's begin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
define m = Character('>>10', color="#c8ffc8")
define friend = Character('>>11', color="#c8c8ff")
define sister = Character('>>12', color="#c8c8ff")
define mature = Character('>>13', color="#c8c8ff")
define bonus = Character('>>14', color="#c8c8ff")
label start:
"Once upon a time..."(>>15 will continue from this point)
Will the characters be represented in-game by MOE SJIS ART?
