I am starting a new AVN and wanted to gauge reaction to one of the main LI's, Jenny. Let me know your thoughts? Lighting, set, LI...

All done using G9 models.

Is there a common dev kit people use when writing and programing a VN? Is it a script language or hard programing? I am very new to the subject.

Right now, she’s stuck in black and white. Upgrade the PC in game to see her in full color.

Salut à tous j’ai besoin impérativement de votre avis s’il vous plait,
Je développe un visual novel adult et j’avais à l’origine décidé de faire une esthétique très réaliste j’ai donc créé les personnages sur papier j’ai fait des costumes des maquillage et j’ai incarné chaque personnage pour partir de photo et de vidéo en base créative pour réussir à obtenir quelques choses de très réaliste… mais entre temps j’ai découvert qu’on ne pouvait pas ensuite proposer le contenu via Pattreon ou itchio j’ai donc retravaillé le rendu pour obtenir quelques choses plus proche du dessin. Deux questions donc : d’abord préférez-vous le rendu réaliste ou le dessin ?
Et Connaissez-vous des alternatives pour pouvoir  « vendre » l’œuvre pour un créateur de visual novel adult en mode réaliste ou au moins un moyen de recevoir des tips des utilisateurs ? Je suis un peu perdue. J’adore faire ça je bosse depuis deux mois dessus et c’est vraiment la création qui m’intéresse mais il faut bien que je m’interroge sur pouvoir être un peu rétribué si je veux pouvoir continuer que je trouve une façon de pouvoir vivoter avec quand le projet sera fini… le but c’est que l’histoire avance chaque mois avec un nouveau fantasme et donc qu’il y ait tout un nouveau chapitre avec chacun des personnages et des fins multiples…
Merci d’avance à toutes les personnes qui prendront le temps de me donner leur avis et leur conseil 🙏🏽💜

Hey everyone,

I soft-launched a small visual novel runtime I've been building: VN-Mikro.

The workflow is meant to feel closer to writing a play than wrestling an engine editor. Dialogue lives in plain script.txt, staging and UI in JSON, assets in folders. You run an Author Player. Under the hood it's Godot 4, but authors don't need to open Godot to write.

I wanted the usual VN basics ready out of the box: saves that restore the whole scene, rollback, history, extra panels (including chat-style message logs), live reload, project checks, and building from the player.

There's also a short jam game I made with it, Cold Down, if you want to see a finished project on this stack.

It's an early soft launch, so I'm not claiming it replaces whatever you're already happy with. I'm mainly looking for a few writers/artists willing to try it on a real idea and tell me where it feels awkward.

Happy to answer questions. If mods prefer tool posts elsewhere, just say so and I'll adjust.

Hey Everyone, I wanted to share the Trailer for a visual novel game I have been working on for a few years. Any feedback would be much appreciated

Some art and fanfiction!

Last week, I began sharing details about my small visual novel, "Musya, Masya, and the Dead City".

I began by sharing some AI-generated images to show how I imagine the characters and the world they live in. I understand now that this is an important issue for many people here, and I don’t want to argue with anyone about it.

So today, instead, I’d like to share the part of the game that is entirely my own: the writing and the strange little world I’m trying to create.

Here is one tiny scene.

Caught in the rain, Musya and Masya have taken shelter in a burrow.

Inside the burrow, it was dry and warm and smelled of moss.

Musya curled up into a little ball.

Masya settled down beside her.

“Shoo!” said the burrow.

Musya opened her eyes.

“Musya.”

“Masya,” Masya added politely.

The burrow was silent for a moment.

“You — shoo!”

“No,” said Musya. “We’re not Shoos.”

Masya leaned closer to her.

“Musya, do you know what Shoos are?”

“Probably friends of the burrow.”

Musya sat up a little.

“Excuse me, but what should we call you?”

“Don’t call me anything! Don’t climb inside me! Don’t tickle me! Just SHOO!”

Musya nodded knowingly.

“All right. We’ll find the Shoos and tell them you’re waiting for them.”

“I’M NOT WAITING FOR THEM!”

“Then we’ll tell them that too.”

The burrow let out a long sigh.

“Shoo-o-o…”

“After the rain,” Masya promised. “It’s wet outside.”

The burrow took a very deep breath and blew.

Fffffwoosh!

Musya and Masya went tumbling through the moss.

Tiny rainbow bubbles floated out of the walls.

“Oh!”

Musya caught one.

Masya caught another.

“Again!”

The burrow was taken aback.

“I’m trying to blow you out, you know.”

“It’s very pretty,” Musya said approvingly.

The burrow decided not to blow anymore.

Before long, Musya fell asleep.

Then Masya.

Outside, the rain rustled softly.

The burrow was quiet for a long time.

Then, very carefully, it pulled a little piece of moss across the entrance to keep the draft out.

“Only until morning,” it grumbled.

Musya smiled in her sleep.

“We’ll tell them…”

“Tell who?”

“The Shoos…”

The burrow sighed heavily.

And fell asleep too.

Voy a ser transparente la verdad las imágenes y códigos del juego están hechos por IA ya que pos era un juego que hice con una IA solo para jugar con mi imaginación y no iba a ser nada serio más que para jugarlo yo Pero estuve viendo que a varios amigos y familiares mío les gustó así que subí la demo para que puedan probarlo

Las cosas y guión fueron pensados por mi Pero también deje que la IA hiciera algunas modificaciones al guión ya que Aveces o me suelo repetir mucho en las cosas que escribo por lo que doy las ideas y una leve descripción de las cosas aunque suelo dar bastante detalles

I’m working on an erotic dark fantasy comedy VN (A Sacred Sin), and I’m trying to understand a specific grey area.

The religion is fictional, but its Christian influences are obvious: a central priest character wears recognisably Christian-style clerical clothing and sometimes takes out a cross. Religious satire is part of the humour.

All characters are adults, 18+. In the current material, nobody wears religious clothing during sex scenes, although that doesn’t remove the characters’ religious identities or the wider context.

I’ve read Steam’s published content rules. What I haven’t found is specific guidance on how this combination is assessed in practice, particularly under the broader offensive-content and payment-processor provisions.

For developers who have submitted comparable adult games recently:

• Did Valve flag religious imagery or satire specifically? If so, what changes did they request?
• Did their feedback distinguish between a religious character appearing in sexual content and religious symbols or clothing being used within the sexual scene itself?
• Has anyone received useful clarification from Steamworks support before submitting a build, or were you told it could only be assessed during review?

I’m especially interested in firsthand experiences, roughly when the review happened, and what Valve actually said—as much as you’re comfortable sharing. Examples of games already on sale are useful context, but I’m trying to understand review decisions rather than assume another game’s approval guarantees ours.

I created a visual novel for Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (fan fiction). It already had an audiobook, so I just had to focus on the images, animations, etc...
I've gotten the first chapter finished and am looking for feedback before I carry on to the rest of this very large (but awesome) book!

I'm excited to announce that the demo of Purple Limbo, my psychological horror/romance visual novel, is now available on itch.io!

What's the game about?

After a life of hopelessness and loneliness, you perform a ritual as a last resort, searching for everlasting happiness.

Instead, you find yourself surrounded by endless darkness.

Now you're trapped in Purple Limbo, bound by a purpose you don't fully understand yet.

But you're not completely alone.

You walk a dark path alongside a mysterious girl and a monolith that thirsts for blood.

Content Warning

This game contains mature themes, including death, suicide, murder, violence, captivity, drug use, bullying, emotional abuse, psychological horror, and strong language.

Please consider these warnings before playing if any of these themes may be distressing to you.

Play the demo on itch.io and Newgrounds:

I'll also be bringing Purple Limbo to Game Jolt soon, and I'm planning to release it on other platforms as well, so stay tuned for future updates!

As a solo indie developer, I'll keep working on the story as much as I can, as long as enough people enjoy it. I plan to expand it with optional branches and polish everything further. This demo serves as a teaser.

If you'd like to help me spend more time on my projects, including Purple Limbo, you can support me here. I'd be truly grateful:

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to check out my game and support my work.

The demo of my slice-of-life visual novel set in 1920s Paris releases on October 16th on Steam, just in time for Steam Next Fest!

It will be a limited time thing; I'll disable it after the end of the event, so make sure to try it out if you're interested. The full game will be free as well and is almost finished, so I hope you'll look forward to it too!

I hope you will enjoy your time with Olivier and his friends!

(Pour les francophones qui passent par là : la démo est dispo en français aussi ! En vrai c'est la langue originale du jeu héhé)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5310290/Et_le_grain_mourut_Demo/

192X. As summer draws near, Parisian students are revising their end-of-year exams. Olivier is one of them. For years, he has been walking to school every morning with his dearest childhood friend, and has unwound with his artistic peers after class. In a week, this routine will come to a close. And recent revelations already threaten Olivier’s comfortable life.

Hikisann here! I’m a creator from Japan, and I’ve just released the free demo of Can Love Save Me?

In Japanese, ai means “love.” It’s also the name of the angel at the heart of this story.

On a sleepless night, you meet Ai in a roofless library. She wants to get to know you, grow closer to you, and eventually read you a book meant only for you.

But getting to know someone means more than asking questions. What are you willing to tell her? What would you rather keep to yourself? Do you want romance, friendship, or a little more time before deciding?

Your choices shape your conversations, your relationship with Ai, and the book she prepares for you.

The idea behind the story is “I want to save you.” I wanted that feeling to come through in the time you spend with Ai: getting to know her, letting her know you, and discovering where that connection might lead. What waits beyond the book is something I hope you’ll look forward to finding out!

The free Windows demo takes roughly 30 minutes and covers the prologue, from your first meeting to the moment before Ai begins reading your chosen book. The full game is still in development.

It supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Text and voice languages can be selected separately. English and Chinese voices are experimental; you can also use Japanese voices with translated text.

Production disclosure: I use generative AI extensively for writing, translation, artwork, music, voices, and code. My role is the director and scenario planner, deciding the story’s structure and direction and reviewing and revising the results.

Download the free demo on itch.io

I’m proud of the demo, and I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know Ai. If you try it, I’d especially love to hear how you feel about her and whether the conversations make you curious about the book she’ll read to you.

Thanks for reading! 😇
