should i make my script for a vn and eroge or not?

  1. 1. my story is action-packed, very dark at times and the protag is a strong pragmatist. i'm wondering if i should make it an eroge cause the story can work with or without the h-scenes.

I can't answer the question because it depends on facts about your story you haven't told about. Would the H scenes appear to be random or do they fit well with the story? Would it make sense for the mindset of the involved people? Would it add the game of gathering all CGs? Can you write H scenes, which are worth reading (that's harder than it sounds). Do you have access to proper H scene CGs?

 

H scenes would be a bonus if they are done right. However if they fall through and becomes dull, then it would likely be better not to include them.

 

You might consider including both options. Add a flag and use that to skip H scenes. That way the same script can become an all age and 18+ VN at the same time, though if that makes sense I would say it hints the H scenes might be a bit too random and too disconnected with the story.

they would technically fit  the story if they were added more than without but this is my first story so i don't know how good it will be. i can only write based on my own experiences ;).

most of the choices are in the battle scenes though. the protag 'experiences' the heroine fully then makes a single choice which decides whether you branch off into her route or continue with the main story. 

like g-senjou no maou after branching the main story ends and the protag is the kinda guy who doesn't hesitate to get naughty so such scenes too will fit his character.

It would probably be better to write an all-ages version and a 18+ version. Making just an eroge is just splitting your audience. Unless you think you can do a decent job writing h-scenes though it would probably be best to avoid them altogether. Maybe keep the eroge part as an after thought instead of thinking about it now since you would probably need an artist who would want to draw hentai.

If you want my input as a consumer then I usually buy the 18+ version unless I hear the h-scenes are really awful (like Little Busters Ex for example).

If I say yes now, then it will be a tie, which pretty much says it all.

I think that sounds like a reasonable solution. It can toggle between the two versions by just changing one line and it can even be set in options if you like. It's technically easy to do. The real question is if a H scene is skipped, will the reader notice that the scene is missing? That's a text/script issue, not a technical issue.

yes if i add the h-scenes, the protag will comment about it later on in his narration. so it will be obvious that something will be taken out. also the h-scenes will be spontaneous so adding a flag will be difficult.

most of them will be in the common route too if they are added and only one or two in each route. 

i have faith in my ability to write ero scenes but my problem is probably on a commercial and moral level.

also i  heard the steam greenlight doesn't take material with porn in it.

not a bad idea. it will help make the story more cohesive than without tbh

 

Also, if you do decide to add it I'd say try to not make it TO pornographic. Its not that it can't be hot and steamy but try to make sure that it's there for story related reasons, NOT for someone to fap to. Unless you wish to of course xD
