I'm lucky that I have some money to throw around, but if you have spare spending money consider that it's across several different people paying them half at a time. Getting commissions for all the assets is going to end up costing me 400-500 dollars. I tried to keep it fairly small and I can't do anything creative visual or audio wise. I've been working on a VN on and off for a couple of years. Combined with the lack of detail on a lot of the sprites and it looks very amateurish. The color pallet is very limited and poorly chosen. This is especially prevalent in the battle scenes (also, the fact they're in a monotone art style does not help the consistency) It's hard to describe, but it's almost like a bad recreation of the SNES MODE7 rotation. Rotations are done in this odd, "scale-everything-2x-then-rotate-each-2x2-pixel" sort of manner. It's smooth and rendered in real time, making it look very out of place. The lighting does not match up with the pixel art visual style. Certain characters will have detailed and thorough animations while some are just static sprites with 1-2 frames of animation in total. Some trees will look very nice, but then you look at the ground and it's just a solid repeating color. Compare some of the background sprites and their complexity to a character sprite or another background sprite, it's almost as if they're from a different game.

Despite it's heinous inconsistency, Katawa Shojou was pretty good for what it was (filling the void for babby's first VN, and introducing people to the medium that otherwise never would have read any.) The problem is that DDLC is edgy trash, and it's making a mockery of a long established medium in the minds of many newcomers around the world. We need to round up and document all of the remotely quality OELVNs that we can.

The west is more than capable of making quality Visual Novels, and the voices of our ancestors demand that we answer the call. This is not to imply that Japanese is not an elegant and beautiful language, it most certainly is, but English, as much of a clusterfuck as it is has illustrated centuries of European culture in beautiful prose. It's quite sad really, that there are so few, let alone noteworthy ones in the language that has given birth to some of the greatest literature the world has ever seen.
