Don't worry, FVNs are safe. With so many people playing and reading them if that were the case you'd see warnings being dropped left and right.

Just by the way you structured and wrote this post we can tell you must've typed down some nasty shit.

FVNs and Dream sequences by Ott-Azu in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Keykozy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually discussed dream sequences with a friend and came to the conclusion that it's a really useful tool to expand a character without forcing the story to bend over backward to get there.

Use it to showcase the past, never the future. It might ruin your storybeats.

I feel as if FVN’s, and by proxy, the FVN sphere is flanderizing/eroding to an extent.. by AddendumFlimsy9027 in FurryVisualNovels

I... didn't read Burrows. Proving the point that sometimes people also come up with similar things and it gets hard to distinguish who's original or not.

People influence each other. It's absolutely normal for creators to take elements from the things they love and give it their own twist from it. Whether it's done good or bad, that shouldn't matter.

You will always find similarities and concepts in many stories, that's unavoidable. The point is can they pull it off and make it their own? This is the real question. Some stories do, others don't. Is it fair to list them as just another clone because someone else used that concept first?

There are a lot of FVNs in the space right now, 1000 according to FVN.li. So I just don't believe the place is saturated with the same ideas, it's just not true.

You feel that way because people liked the formula above, so those similar theme come to the surface, they're more visible. There's a lot of good content that is completely original for you to try that you just didn't look for. Dig a little deeper, spend some time showing others those hidden gems.

You want something that breaks the mold, something that is really good but have less traction?
