Need some suggestions

[HokutoNoKen]

Heya guys,

In the last time was considering to make a visual novel - dating sims kinda like "dual family" or something like that. Just for have some fun and not surelly for commercial pourposes.

Unfortunately I don't even know where to start cause (as you can got from the thread's title) I'm a total noob in this.

Where should I start? Wich tools should I use? There is some guide materials to consult for?

FYI: Actually I'm using a Mac Air, so please consider this weird fact before to suggest me anything.

TY

Be aware that on a Mac, you'll have some challenges. If you use Daz Studio to make your images, iRay is going to be REALLY slow, since it's optimized for an NVidia GPU, which you don't have. If you stick to older generation figures and 3Delight you'll do better.

I can't speak for other tools to generate the images - no experience with them.

From a "build the actual game" point of view, Ren'py is straightforward to learn, and works fine on a Mac.
