Your average book is around 80-100k, while a lot of popular Japanese VNs are 300k+. In a lot of cases engaging with VNs requires you to do more reading than you would with a book lmao

My free yandere yuri VN, It gets so lonely here, has been released on Steam!
It's a fairytale-inspired horror story with three(?) love interests, all of whom adore you obsessively.
Also, it contains cannibalism. That's a thing too!

i got my former english lit professor to read umineko (a man whose job is to teach classics like romantic poetry, victorian lit, & he's also written books on these things) & he said umi was one of the most ambitious stories he's read in any medium lol
I respect Umineko as a medium, but its fans honestly seem so pretentious and overrate the shit out of it that it kinda annoys me, I don't doubt it's good (or bad), but c'mon it can't be that good lol, like, just play other visual novels lol, and actual VNs. not ADV games

it kinda makes me sad that steam's doing a visual novel promo event, but decided to feature the walking dead in the event's trailer over things like clannad, steins;gate, or higurashi

Even if he did say that (which he didn't) I don't see why it'd be an issue. A creator's feelings about their own work shouldn't influence how the consumers feel about it (+ creators have their own preferences & things they like to work on more than others, it's normal)

while this is (probably) a joke, it is true that vns sell pretty terribly and it's hard to turn a profit on them

Since the Saya Fumo has made more money in 28 hours than all our visual novel releases for the last 28 years combined (including Saya no Uta somehow) we're rebranding to Dave's Fumo Emporium and focusing exclusively on Saya fumos forever.

people often think that all visual novels have a heavy romance focus (& people also conflate them w/ dating sims a lot), but there's loads of vns out there in all sorts of genres. the medium is more diverse than people think!
Game Devs, what are some common misconceptions of our industry as a whole or a specific part of work you do?
I wanna use this question as a way to educate those who do not work in our field and possibly shed some light on common thoughts that aren't correct.

the "all vns are just trash fanservice" hot take which gets thrown around is annoying b/c a) a story having sexual content doesn't void of it worth and b) putting jvns aside, if you check itchio for 10 seconds you'll find thousands of poignant indie vns w/ things to say

idk what op means by 'shoujo', but there's a lot of yuri games out there which don't have any gacha elements.
i've written like a dozen yuri vns myself which cover a pretty broad range of genres and settings
>looking for new yuri
>ask the lesbian if their yuri is gacha or shoujo
>she doesn't understand
>i pull out an illustrated diagram explaining what is gacha and what is shoujo
>she laughs and says "its good yuri sir"

devs!
It appears that our latest project is getting some tough reviews. Reading feedback, especially negative, is one of the toughest parts about being a game designer.
What's the worst review one of your games received?

making vns can be kind of tiring sometimes since a) there's a bias against vns in general b/c "urgh reading" and/or "urgh anime romance" and b) there's a bias against evns amongst vn fans b/c "these don't look like/read like the japanese vns i'm used to"
