Didn’t cost as much to make, no voice acting, fewer words, fewer visuals, means you don’t need to have as many people purchase the game, means you don’t have to be as safe as companies today tend to be, means you got more variety and/or experimental weird stuff. you forgot KnS (that was the example i was waiting xD ) you can find in any genre a few tittles but they are really scarce.

Clephas Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Innocent Gray's sales have always been pretty borderline from what my Japanese eroge-nakama say. Traditional horror mystery VNs don't sell as well as moege, and they usually spend most of their budget on the art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 you either risk your company selling something that doesn't appeal a wide audience or you sell a crappy product that everyone will like and you have a minimum amount of sells assured. That's just business in general. Also I don't think it was cheaper to make a vn on the 90' just because of the lack of voice acting. The art style was amazing (imo even better than many vn of this days) many of them were a mix of adventure games and visual novels, also programming a vn in the past was much more difficult than it is now.

melo4496 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm looking for a vn that revolves around classical music. Is there something like this? ie, the protagonist and the heroines attends a classical music school, or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 https://vndb.org/v532 I heard good things about this one, though it is currently sitting in my backlog. Sorry to say, there just aren't any others I could think of off the top of my head. Music isn't generally the focus of any of the VNs I've seen or played, though single heroines or characters sometimes were musicians. A lot of it is that, in order to make a VN focusing on music, the writer has to have intimate knowledge of the music in question, lol.

melo4496 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That's very unfortunate. I was actually hoping for a Nodame Cantabile / KimiUso -like visual novel. I'm not into brass bands, but I'll check it out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Like I said, that kind of thing requires a ton of background knowledge, and most non-chuunige VN writers aren't research-freaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryougi Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) hi. this is probably the dumbest request you'll ever receive, but whatever. i'm looking for an english-translated short/medium visual novel. if possible, i'd like a chuunige, but the genre is not really important. thank you in advance.
