First, I thank you for joining this lonely group. emotion_kirakira Let's not make it lonely anymore xD also, let us not be too formal and awkward with each other and say something about ourselves in this thread emotion_kirakira

I go by the name Fake Existence (sometimes, Faist). I have a Lemma Soft account. But for some reason, their forum is a little bit serious and professional in a kind of way. I built this guild so I can post freely about my works. If you happen to have a Lemma Soft account, you can add me there. The name is also Fake Existence.

So in this guild, I will be posting my ideas, honing my skills and update my work. I already finished my very first Visual Novel entitled as Raven and hopefully, I can finish more Visual Novels in the future! If an ordinary person like me can create one, you can do it, too!

I don't create Visual Novel for a living. It's just one of my hobbies.But if my work is worthy enough, then why not? *eyes turn to dollars like Mr. Krab's!

Other things~
First Visual Novel that I played: Re: Alistair
My favorite VN: Jisei, Kansei, Yousei (they come in a series)
VN creation engine: Ren'Py

I look forward to mingling with you~ biggrin

Trueee. People only go wild in the forums that have tons and tons of pages and are super hard to keep up with razz

Hi there! I'm excited to see your upcoming work! ^^

I'm Mandy, and I'm v new to the whole visual novel thing but I'm quite liking it so far! I feel a general lack of VNs in general that are western, but I thought, hey, I'm already into art and music and such, so why not help create some if they're fun and don't require as much knowledge on gameplay? (: I always preferred a good ol' book (or fic hah) over a game myself, so the lack of levels and items and whatever never really bothered me but was a bonus, since it lets you focus on the story. I'm working with a team for a VN right now as an experimental thing (seeing how much workload it is and how people work together) before trying something of my own, and it's pretty fun! A lot of work though haha required me to really get organized. Well, that's my rambling haha looking forward to talking to you guys!

Would it be okay if you share it here once you finish it? (though I'm sure you might release it on Lemmasoft, itch.io, or on steam...) or any development progress blog to share so that I can stalk you twisted I'm excited on your team's VN release!

"Into art and music" ? Hmmm... You'd do great in making bg music and character sprites whee

Oh yeah sure! Our team manager says our demo will be released on the 20th (; (at least that's the plan...I'm honestly a little behind hahh)

And thanks!! I'm excited to share it eheheh

Thanks for the invite!
I've made 2 visual novels in my life and enjoyed making both of them (I used Ren'Py both times, making VNs is so easy with it <3). I kind of would like to make more someday but I'm not confident in my concentration skills lol

I also like to play visual novels and the latest one I played was Cherry Tree High Comedy Club. It was... not that good though. razz

First Visual Novel I played: I don't even remember anymore, I checked a bunch that were made with Ren'Py when I started my first VN
My favourite VN: DMMD
VN creation engine: Ren'Py

Hi! Welcome to the guild! I'm very glad you joined! We have the subforum for VNs that you completed. You can post there and share links of your Completed Games whee

Thank you for inviting me here!! (I never knew there'd be a guild on gaia dedicated to visual novels, actually!)

I am juice, or Ana on lemmasoft, but I don't really post on there, at all emo .
I've played around with Ren'Py for about 3 years, but I haven't made a complete visual novel just yet. However, I am really close to finishing one so far. Hopefully I can finish it before summer ends... sweatdrop

The first VN I've played is probably Sakura Wars: So Long my Love on the Wii (I think it can be considered one). But if we get really nitpicky, Tales of Symphonia's affection system is kind of similar to how many VNs work, so that'd have to be my actual first.
As for favourite VN, I don't really know if I have a favourite... I really want to play some of the Japanese ones that require the translation aggregator, but I haven't tried doing so yet.
And the engine I use is Ren'Py. I've been using it too long to get used to any other ones...

Welcome to the guild~ Playing Japanese visual novels with translation aggregator is quite easy, usually the sites that you can download them from offer a tutorial on how to play. smile Or at least I have had no problem, though I've only played 2 Japanese VNs so far lol

I'm looking forward to seeing your VN when it's done! gaia_star

Thank you! I think I might try it today, then and see how it goes. There aren't many Japanese VNs that are translated into English, after all gonk
Then again, I have to clean my room, go and get some pizza, and work on the VN... I'll use the translator eventually gonk

Great! emotion_kirakira I hope to finish it before school, and I'm almost done!!

Hello~ Thanks for the invite to this guild! smile This guild might be a new reason for me to visit Gaia more often~

I haven't really made any VNs in my spare time, but I have made a quick one for my Game Design class using Ren'py.

I've read bits (never completed) Katawa Shojo and DearDrops. There are probably others, but I don't remember at the moment.

I'm more of an artist but I can write if I need to.

I know this isn't a VN engine, but I do like using RPG Maker. One can still tell a story with it so I guess it counts. A great RPG Maker game I've played would definitely be To The Moon.

Back to VNs and VN engines, I've only touched Ren'py. I've looked up other engines, but from what I hear Ren'py would have to be the better ones for its customization.

The name is Junjirou Juroujinju Junichi, (name of a character in my upcoming RPG game).



So Ace and Junjirou J...J... (a long name...) are more comfy with using RPG Maker ...? I've played one called Dear Mariko. It's not really A VN if I'll describe it. It's made with RPG Maker... It's like a VN but only in RPG mode... Since it's really short, and only with three endings, I finished all endings so fast and made a long review about it confused (not really a review, but my experience in playing it)... But anyway I enjoyed it so it's okay to have members that use RPG maker smile also they're like VNs, too! Should I make a subforum for RPGs?

I should make an H subforum... biggrin

I don't know when's summer for you guys... But our summer's long gone in our country... cry I rushed myself in making my very first VN, and it didn't turn out that good... (well, I'm not really good at drawing and writing stories xd so it might turn out like that whatever happens) During months of April and May... crying I hope you can finish it! I like the sprites on your tumblr~ I'll be playing your game!!

If you guys have any comments or suggestions, you can comment on this thread for the sake of the improvement of the guild 3nodding
