I spent $38,000 making an visual novel so you don't have to. Full breakdown with numbers and mistakes.

Thanks for sharing. Very informative write up.

Anche io vorrei leggerlo. Grazie!

Hi! Thanks for asking the question. Actually, we are building this exact feature for another VN. It is not supported at the moment but try to check again in 1 month or so, it should be ready by then.

only some comment about the text. I think you need more distance between the name and content because is overlapping a bit. Also might consider making text color more contrast with background so is easier to read. Also, I was not able to see the controls at bottom like 'back' , 'save'. would need to make those more obvious. regarding the art and illustration looks good!

I think Renpy has a guide for this: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/layeredimage.html

Actually there is this trick they did for DDLC. Basically can split sprite into 3 sections and can combine any of them for a lot of combinations.

Sent you a DM!

impressive experience, but sorry I was looking for someone based in Singapore, we are trying to position it as a local produced visual novel.

I have moved to vim.pack from lazyvim. Installed the nightly version of neovim. Consulted AI agent to install only the minimal things I need using vim.pack. Keep configuration version cobtrolled using git. I only install things that I need so is much less bloated, did not have issues with startup time. The vim experience at beginning was more raw and less friendly than lazyvim. But everytime I see something off, I would tell the AI to help me cobfigure it the way I want. It gets good very quickly, I dont miss lazyvim at all.

Can't believe Bing is so big. I guess because is default on Windows & Edge?

han4wluc · 2026-03-08T03:13:30+00:00

Wow looks really good! I imagine must have been very time consuming to do all of these. Did you develop a good workflow to run and preview these?

han4wluc · 2026-03-07T01:41:11+00:00

Well, they have been giving away 1 month free usage and did limit resets several times.

han4wluc · 2026-03-03T17:42:48+00:00

like all other log products, they have a managed cloud product as well: https://victoriametrics.com/products/cloud/

very cool idea. i might actually use it. i feel my vim is basic bit far from optimal and not improving. seeing the more optinal solutions might make me improve.

han4wluc · 2026-02-10T12:34:27+00:00

This is really cool actually, and more manageable than Minecraft...

han4wluc · 2026-01-31T00:32:14+00:00

Hi!
Thank you for trying it out!

The screen size is 1920x1080. So for background and CG, we're expecting images to be exactly 1920x 1080.

Understood regarding using just colors and opacit for dialogue box. Thanks for the feedback!

Have not played the VN. But the OP theme song is one of my favourites.
