Hello everyone!
I want to sincerely apologize to you all. The latest chapter really exposed a huge number of problems in the game and revealed many technical issues that I'm making while creating this visual novel. Right now, I think I'm still learning how to make games and understanding what the audience ultimately enjoys. And most importantly, whether I can use my enthusiasm and passion to tell the story the audience wants to hear in the most engaging way—for them and for myself.
As the last chapter showed, many people didn't understand what I was trying to convey. I attribute this to the fact that the entire narrative is delivered through a mobile phone interface. The scale of my ideas is colossal, enormous. I have some experience in script writing for TV series, and in my head, I immediately envision grand cinematic scenes that should unfold. But when you frame it all through a phone screen, the magic of the scene breaks down through text messages. Basically, I've cornered myself with this phone messenger engine.
Initially, I chose this format because it seemed like the simplest approach—I could essentially just write the script and occasionally insert images that fit the moment. This format requires more screenwriting skills than directorial shot composition skills. But now I realize it's the opposite—I actually want more directorial control over shots. I want to tell the story more like a traditional visual novel rather than a phone-based one.
So I'm actively thinking about finishing this first visual novel and then, with all the experience I've gained, stepping up to the next level and releasing an even better, newer visual novel in the same spirit as this one, but with full directorial vision, proper shot composition, engaging scenes, and an intricate plot.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you be interested in seeing a traditional visual novel format in the future?
Thank you for staying with me through this learning journey. Your support means everything.
Why not just remake YBU? Julia is really hot and I wouldn't want to see her story quickly rushed off in order to start something new. But if your next game has a hot busty blonde woman as the player character who can have the choice to cheat on her husband then that would be cool lol
