Visual novels are pretty darn awesome. What parts are you struggling with?

1) no program
2) not sure how to translate my characters into a 'choose your person' type story.

you can alway ask for help X)

It isn't that hard.

Oh and if you ever ask yourself if you should. Remember that other people have made visual novels like:

Hell steam even sells visual novels that were originally adult. So there is a demand for good stuff.

All you need is a good story and the drive to finish making it.

I think I have the story. I just don't have the...well adaptability.

I had been working on a story for years, after a hard drive crash I stopped and only recently sorta restarted with some moderate changes (such as the fact that Cyran wasn't originally my fursona. And had very little to do with everything)

but to change it to a format of the viewer 'picking' someone.. that's the problem.

I want to add in elements of romance, and it'd be great to even add in elements of combat if I even knew how. most of my ideas would probably work better in an rpg format
