    >> “I am Ryou, a daydreamer and a student at Cyrstal Waters High. I have two very close female friends, Claire and Rina. I have a crush on my childhood friend Claire but she is already in a relationship. Rina seems to be attracted to me but… I can’t date Rina when I like Claire. I am a very idealistic but romantic kind of guy. It’s a complicated problem.

    When I realized that Claire was suffering from an abusive relationship, everything changed. There was nothing Rina or I did that could get her out of it. There was one last resort. Breaking my romantic ideals to save Claire, I had to learn the art of seduction.

    The only thing was… I started to learn that there was something going on in this town. Rumors of creatures running around at night, a close call, and a textbook history that doesn’t add up. Even Claire and Rina are connected somehow. Between finding out what is really going on and saving Claire, I don't know if I could manage both.

    If only I could stop daydreaming so much then I might have some time. Why are my daydreams so strong now when I need to focus?”

    The only thing that warms my black heart is that their pitch failed to be chosen in the Dragon's Den.

    Is there even a sizable userbase for a commercial western VN? I'm assuming they're not taking much risks and keeping the budget close to the ground, which would explain the overall low quality.

    Doomed from the beginning, but what's worse, if one could say that, is that it will salt the ground for further projects. With a clear example of a failed attempt, it will be close to impossible to get anyone interested in investing on something like it.

    When a company can keep itself afloat translating VNs and localizing them, it's obvious there's a market for them.

    It's just about not making a shitty one.

    To be honest they should try and get some western art style VNs going, with a far more serious tone, that would get the rest of the westerner's who throw up at any hint of Japanese culture.

    I like that. Instead of emulating an existing business, make something new that can attract a diverse base and not just the weeaboo oriented.
    Point and click adventure games did well before, but perhaps they were too restricted by the hardware of the time. A way to sell you a somewhat interactive story that is genuinely interesting and arching.

    Nah, got nothing. The idea of interactive cinema experience is dead and buried with MGS4 and most of the game buying audience won't sit around for walls of text. Episodic content would be good for delivery. Episode 0 is free, following ones are at a modest price. Hopefully, with a good enough product that people can try it will get enough word.

    But enough of marketing, what about the actual thing?. As >>2547552 says, there are distinctly western themes and it's not just restricted to art. Hmm, Mass Effect tried something like that.

    Ah, for fucksake, Mass Effect did it already. Branching decisions, dialogs and dialogs interspersed with action. Changing the outcome from a couple of endings to a real branching story could improve it, and adding more action instead of dialogs all the time.

    I've spoken to many people about Visual Novels before, they like the idea and think it can create nostalgia to the old "choose your own adventure" books they used to read.

    Oh God, I remember that. It was some sort of Kana fanfic in Flash format made by a guy and his brother.

    Fuck yes, writing fanfic about an incest story with your siblings.

    Damn, it's as I suspected.

    Any Western OELVN either has good art, or good wriitng. Never both. This is why they've always sucked ass.

    KS is an exception, I guess. Hence why it's spreading through the internet like wildfire right now.

    If you choose to make a VN, you should have a pretty good idea of who your audience is, which should make it easy for you to write for that audience. That being said, whoever the fuck wrote this shit managed to misread that audience entirely and comepletely fuck up. He shouldn't be writing anything for anyone.

    And since the audience for VNs is pretty much set, the only way you could have a profitable buisness plan for a VN in the west would be to come out with something like a Phoenix Wright. Tl;dr if you want to make money off a VN, make it for the DS.

    Agreed, we need more games like Phoenix Wright on the DS. It's such a great system for VN-like games and people are wasting it with shovelware Sudoku and punch the monkey games.

    Goddamn.

    Eh, Phoenix Wright was pretty basic and ugly-looking.

    I wouldn't mind some good VN's on the go, but I don't know if Phoenix Wright's linearity and simplicity in all the Visual Novel aspects (Traded for fucking awesome gimmicks to solve the crime) were because of limitations or general laziness.

    If all VN's on it are going to be as simplistic as PW, I'd honestly prefer a PC version.

    The basic story, setting and especially the characters were damn good.
    Also, the search mode, trials and puzzles make it more diverse and more accessible to the western audiences, and enhance it a lot, and are not just gimmicks.

    Remember, it was originally for the GBAdvance. Hence so basic and lazy looking.
    Ironically, the one game with most work, Apollo Justice, has the worst plot. And character.
    I'm hoping a lot from the spinoff game soon.

    Going back to business talk thing, becuase that was interesting.

    I seriously think that with proper marketing even Japanese visual novels could have market in west. It's just the matter of picking the right ones to localize. For example, many of Nitro+ games aren't very stantard VNs and they hardly ever top the charts in Japan, but they could just appeal to western audience.
    There are others like that, VNs that aren't really girl get games. Kanon and Clannad wouldn't really make good starter choices for localization, but later they might be excellent.

    Hell, latest Persona games sell hundreds of thousand copies. It's just the matter of getting some positive interest going on, perhaps article on some paper and you could be set for market.

    Aside: Don't they still make VNs compatible for win 9x and win 2k?
