I'd like to thank /a/ user darkness_and_light for making this suggestion.
So, rather than being a group of idiots and jumping straight into the big project without any experience with VNs or, more importantly, any experience working with each other as a team, the plan, for the moment, is to make a short, mini-VN.
We won't allow it to take us more than a month, so that we don't go off track or burn-out and completely drop the main project.
The idea is going to be that we'll adapt the first episode of K-On into VN format, so that all of us can get used to Ren'Py, (Fuck it, we'll go with Ren'py. No reason not to.) the process of making VNs, and each other. Experience is key, I guess.
It shouldn't be more than 30 minutes long to play, and, as I said, it will NOT take us more than a month to make.
Once we make it, we'll post it on /a/ as a sort of "Hey guys, look what we made. Now look at what we intend to make in the future!" thing.
Opinions?
Nothing to say except I'm looking forward to the demo of sorts. Even if it's not the actual visual novel, it'll be a sign of progress.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's the idea.
ReplyDeleteWe realize a little bit after we announced the project that, holy shit, we can't just jump right into it with no experience with VN making, Ren'Py, or each other.
So we're doing something that gives us experience in all three, but still stays connected to what we want to end up doing.
I like it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a reasonable course of action.
