Lately I was trying top rated 3D games and alike, trying to play and see many most liked games on here and all that plus stuff that is not in here, In conclusion I came up with some ideas inspired by them but also the things they were inspired by as in style and execution.

Ideally I wish to go for something big and great, hopefully a nice top 10 for this site and all, especially after playing Lust Is Strange it did click heavily and suddenly my mind was crowded with possibilities, I wish to go for something similar with a similar style of art and gameplay that resembles games like cat lady and alike which was an inspiration I recognized immediately.

Instead of the original cast of life is strange I am thinking of bringing a mix of characters inspired from other works and places such as instead of Max I am thinking of someone like Wattson from apex legends and their name being Sammy

In terms of artistic fidelity I wish out to be closer to works like Persona 5, My Life As a X Colonist, a game about life as in the 90's and Life Is Strange alike with a fitting soundtrack and overall athnosphere, with a simple yet satisfying character creation, choices of actions and optional fetishes content that would appeal a wide audience

Most important part of it that making the overall experience both down to earth and realistic/immersive that would bring nostalgia for some and an experience for the life in the past, not really including the very latest current time and era of things which is easier to handle. Also way of people speak and act being accurate and realistic to that timeline.

Creating that sooting and relaxing experience, creating an engaging plot and delivering great excitement where needed.

Probably making the game semi linear as to make a storyline the player can follow but also a semi sandbox daily schedule the player fill with whatever they desire

I also wish to experiment some new things too such as the game adapting/reacting to player choice to cater more for their needs or background scoring system similar to what is used for shadowheart romance programming for example. These background stats and scores deciding the trigger of event variants and paths without being too forward and on the nose, hence being more immersive and dynamic for the player, imitating the sense of sentience

Be sure to send a friend request so we can talk about it, would like to bring an idea like this to life greatly, and a nice game for everyone (more of a people pleaser myself more than I like to admit), and also would be good experience for me too as a writer and game designer.

Take care and have a nice time and all :))

peace~

If you are going at it alone prepare to invest a lot of time and money. If you want to team up with a programmer, and maybe a 3D designer and a musician for music, prepare to spend a lot of time and money. Writing and creating a visual novel has become a full part time job for me. Any extra time outside of my bread and butter gig is spent making scenes and characters, mapping flow charts and making animations, music and of course RenPy programming. It has been a year and I am no where close. I am hoping another year will get me there. There is a lot of great information out there and YouTube has bags of videos on anything and everything related to making a VN.

If you can come up with an original idea and execution; you would become a hero. But the world has seen nearly every adaptation of the three act story for hundreds of years. Focus on story and the rest will follow. Then the hard work of making it come to reality starts.

I have modified my storyboard several time just because writing scenes can cause you to think of new choices or paths to follow. This is good to flesh out your story, but can also become a pitfall that becomes hard to navigate out of. Some designers out there will take the time to give you a little advice. I would try visiting Patreon or Discord and looking for top developers.

I wish you the best of luck!

are you giving your work or are you asking people to give you their work?
if you are giving you should just post it and see if people want to take it, if you are asking people to give you, you should ready that no one want to work for you.

Main issue is that people want things on their lap like fast food, why nothing that is truly great will be on here unless some corp or some dude with certain intent will decide to do it (mainly to farm hella money) lmao
I do understand why creativity goes to waste as mostly people do it for the money now, not for the love of the sport, even the devs that I been with was all about the money lol

So it’s better to be blunt and move on with it, plus won’t look good if the history of my work would have included smut games if I decided to do family friendly stuff as well
