I'm not particularly planning to make any visual novels with this engine, but upon looking at the limited resources that initially come with the game, its barely anything you could work with to create a full fledged visual game-playing novel. It seems you have to do most of the art yourself. Is there a resources site at all for a engine like this, or is it dependent on the creator to supply them all personally? Seems to be a steep requirement for those who aren't artistic.

Well dude it is a VISUAL novel, I would think you would just write a novel if you do not wish to do art. But then again it is a good way to motivate yourself to start learning how to draw! As for backgrounds, just get a camera and take pictures of cool looking places in your area and distort them in photoshop or something. I tried starting a VN project, it didn't get very far but I at least knew where to gain resources.

edit: there's also hiring an artist

That's what I'm doing right now D:

But Darkflame is kinda right about the resources, not really for graphics, but there really is no script resource for this engine. All we have to rely on is the tutorial game that comes with Renpy, and it helps for the besics, but that's pretty much it...

You can post in lemmasoft forums for tech support, Pytom and the userbase are very helpful :3

If you can't draw or don't have someone who can help you, the Visual Novel genre isn't for you. Just make something similar in RPG Maker and have scenes play out on maps, or something.

okay, so there really isn't a online resource site for this stuff. If I go this route, I'll come up with something. For now, it'll be on the backburner.

Uh, if you're going to do a visual novel, honestly, you pretty much need original art.

ah, okay, then this avenue of game making is blocked to me then. I am no good at art of any kind. Thanks for the links Archeia, although they were all broken or lead me to topics that weren't there. :)

EDIT: Looks like I wasn't fully exploring much on that first link. I found a few free resources. But not enough. We'll see how it goes.
