My ADHD ass would never be able to do that
Yeah, Iām just ignoring the art part and will come back to that once the entire gameās writing has been finalized first.

I want it to all be hand-drawn for stylistic reasons
also itās set at some vague point in the future (in my mind itās about 150 years but Iām intentionally keeping it vague so I donāt have to be perfect with some of my predictions-of-how-fast-things-happen)

See, the issue with using public domain stuff is that at some point, those appearances start influencing how you write the stuff, so you end up in a situation where the public domain stuff is inextricably intertwined and hard to remove without feeling like youāve lost something to the game.

that seems fine, just donāt remove it? I agree that that would be an issue for using it as, like, a stopgap

took me way too long to realize you didnāt mean graphic novel
My issue with using public domain stuff as the final product is that the āvisualā part of visual novel becomesā¦somewhat uninspired? Itās hard for someone to connect with a story if it looks generic.
Though I suppose weāre putting the cart before the horse because I havenāt finished writing the story, so I will deal with that later.

itās closer to graphic novel than most visual novel ideas, itās not meant to be super interactive but also Iām still kind of working that out because I know genuinely 0 coding stuff. But I think once I have the art+story/dialogue done entirely the rest will follow relatively easily

itās notā¦ itās not quite āVisual Novelā in the classic sense. hence why I said ~visual novel because I donāt really think it fits the classic mold of a visual novel but thereās no other better word to describe my vision
