    The much-talked-about "10,000 hour rule" is bullshit, but there's a reason people trot it out all the time: it takes a damn long time to get good at most things, whether you're naturally talented at it or not. FWIW, I used to have drawing skills at your level until a couple years ago, but practiced my way up to where I can at least freehand copy things with results that look not utterly terrible. I stopped working on it at that point, satisfied that I could indeed draw if I wanted to. I'm convinced that, like @Velvetique said, nearly nobody is truly unable to learn to draw, or learn to program, or learn to do any of the other skills you'd need to have to make a VN if you really wanted to. If you want to get good at those things, you can; but you're going to have to work at it, a lot.

    Velvetique reacted to Narcosis in Dysfunctional Systems Episode 0 Trailer   
    To speak bluntly, I'm not expecting much from Dischan since Doomfest decided to part his ways with Jeremy. It's obvious that Ryan - the new artist, who replaced Doomfest - is trying to mimic Doom's style as much as possible while trying to retain his own, but there's no way he'll be able to fully replace what was lost. Doom's art was one of the things, that made Dischan's works so good aside from Jeremy's writing; not to mention, it really did fit the Dysfunctional System's mood. Without it, it's not the same story any more. Such art style swaps should be avoided at all costs in games of this type.
    Aside from that, Dischan literally closed all the doors after their fiasco, alienating the remaining part of their fanbase; one that was still willing to support them. Instead going on a hiatus to sort out all the matters, they went as far to announce closure. Dischan is like the ABC of what devs should avoid during production.
    I'm not really sure who's going to play this, neither to whom is the game addressed. Large part of their previous player base lost all the interest, after they called it quits and their unprofessional approach to PR and business afterwards only reassured them they did the right thing.

    This is probably a little harsh, but it really does sound like you've convinced yourself you're incapable of anything and want to find excuses to not improve.. I don't know what you really expect to be told here. 
    If you want to learn to draw, you gotta practice a lot. You're not gonna learn it in one single day, or even a week or even a month. It takes lots of time. At the moment it doesn't look like you've done a lot of practice, but thats just an assumption on my end. If you want to learn to draw, you gotta be patient and really focus on it. It's fine if you can't draw though, that's why you work with artists who know how to do it, or you comission people for assetts you need.
    If you have trouble programming, there's an incredible amount of books and guides out there to help you learn. If thats not enough, try looking for a class you can take on it. On top of that, you can also hire or get help from programmers in this community or elsewhere. There's also VN engines that require almost no programming.
    As for your fears of writing, all of that is really a bunch of excuses to not write and to not show your work to others. That stuff is scary and i understand the fear of you wasting your time, but the thing is every writer usually gets good at what they do by making mistakes and learning. The fastest way you're gonna learn and the fastest way you'll improve is to just work at it. You'd only be a laughing stock on the internet if you handled people's reactions poorly. Theres plenty of successful writers and game developers who have made rough games before but have gotten better over time.
    None of the stuff you've mentioned is enough to absolutely prevent you from ever making a visual novel. If its something you genuinely want to do, there's lots of ways to get it to happen. It won't neccesarily be fast, but it will happen if you work hard enough at it.

    It's pretty barebones at the moment, but I like what you're going for! I'll have to play around with it more, but if I had to request anything at the moment it'd be some way to customize the UI more (if it's there I can't seem to find it). Some tutorials or example code would help too.

    Hey there! To celebrate my Visual Novel Engine making it to Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/665040/Visual_Novel_Engine) I will be hosting a visual novel creation competition.
    Visual Novel Engine is an app designed to help anyone create their own visual novel for free without any programming skills.

    The rules are pretty simple, help the development of Visual Novel Engine by creating and submitting a visual novel using the engine itself. The winners will be able to put up their entire visual novel as DLC on Steam (free or paid). The Visual Novel Engine is in Early Access, so i'm also looking for testers that can help improve it.
    Thanks for reading.

    Hey there, friends! I've sorta lurked on this forum before (Especially when I was following a walkthrough on the Toradora VN that was posted here), but I've finally decided to join up! I really would like to find more VN's I haven't heard of, and I also at some point would like to get feedback on a VN I'm currently working on when it's in a more presentable stage.
    Some of my favorite VN's include Steins;gate, VA-11 HALL-A, the Zero Escape series, Ace Attorney, and the Fruit of Grisaia!
    Looking forward to making friends and having a good time on this site!
