For those who aren't sure what a visual novel is, have an explanation, and one better than I could think of at nearly 4am.
Visual novels, anyone?

Visual novels, anyone?
So, I have such a maker, and I was curious on what the reaction to one of these would be. I'm still in the development stage for the story I'm writing, but I thought this would be a good way for me to program things too, as practice.

I like visual novels as long as they're engaging. I've played the first couple of games in the Lone Wolf series, and thoroughly enjoyed them (the series is huge though, so there's a lot left to see).
Would it pretty much be a story with artwork, or would it be more interactive like that series? Either way, I'd check it out.

There's something like 30 books in that series (most with Lone Wolf, some with other protagonists). I've only done the first two, and wouldn't mind checking out the others, but I still need to replay the first ones (with all the other choices, there's plenty of replay value).

its cool how you got to pick out of a range of different abilities and that each one influenced how you could battle and whether you could move to certain parts in the story.
i read so many of the books by the time i read the last one i had read enough to qualify to use all the abilities ^^

That'd be pretty cool Raini. God, imagine a TE-based Choose Your Own Adventure, though.
