Just thougth it would be a good idea to make such a tool for GP32, which can help to create so called 'visual novels' for Gp32. A pc tool which can help you to pick a picture, add some text, some backgroud music (e.g. mods) and define connection bettwen action etc. If anyone would be interested in making such a tool , just please contact me.

I might want to do something like that, but since I am working on GPChess now, I won't start for a LOOOONGGG time (if I ever actually do start :))
 
I looked around the net for an existing V.N.M. and found one but couldnt find thel link to download. Maybe a better idea would b to use an existing pc pakage to make visual novels and then make an interpreter for the files for the gp.
 
Could be an idea, but in my opinion when something is written directly for some platform, it is always 1000 times better than ported things.
 
Hando,

I already made a Virtua Novel System for the GP32. It's currently in it's last beta and is tested by Rico and NiN^_^NiN. There will also be an article on it in the new GP32:Zine.

If your interested I can mail you the beta.

This sounds really cool. More "creator" tools means more things to play with on the GP32. I have some really good ideas for VN's, I can't wait to get started!

Yeah the VNS really looks cool and really promising. The article is ready, and we are planning to release the issue in a couple of days... Keep watching this space :p
 
Certainly hope so... a few decent visual novels would be nice...

Virtualeech: Is your tool capable of story trees or just the one linear one. And any other extensions possible? (Like attributes - some of the games released for PC have a system of training to get better at particular things which affect the story)

I'm seriously very interested in this sort of thing :)
 
Yes, there are hentai visual novels. With Japan's relaxed attitude about doushinji and expressions of sexuality, there is a strong public market. I've heard tales of people visiting Japan and seeing people reading erotic manga while waiting for the subway.

Yet just as there are more non-erotic stories in America then there are erotic stories, the same goes for Japan and the rest of Asia. Visual Novels were created with the idea of the breaking down a story into scenes of movement, something like a cross between a slideshow and a movie, becoming more movie-like as technology progressed. The advanced Visual Novels can have multiple endings with multiple paths taken to reach those endings - these are exactly like the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books found all over the world.

There is also a level of interactivity above even this, which is really more of an "Interactive Story" then it is a "Visual Novel". If you're into console games, Xenosaga is a good recent example of this idiom.
 
Tobriand, it includes both story trees (choose an option, go somewhere else) and variables (which would help in both of your suggestions). It's looking really good :)
 
yeah i loved the choose your own adventure books. but i sadly always ended up dying :( . i wonder if it would be possible to use the text a graphics files in a sort of SCUMM fashion. just a suggestion.
 
Well I've just finished my demo story and it will be sent to the guys for beta testing.

You can do alot of things with VNS its quite a good program I have most featurs it can do into my demo so you will see that later :)

But just a word of warning. My story is a hentai 1 :p dont flame me it's an asian console it needs atleast 1 thing hentai

but the demo goes for quite a while it has 373 sceans and its all been typed up

I've spent about 22hours on this and quite a few times i only sleeped 4 hours :p

but it's done now and id like a reaction from people if i should keep going on with the story. It might seam long now but its only the very start of it ;)

Also hando im gonna speak to you...... <_<

:ph34r:
 
I have just finshed reading NiNs demo story and I must say I am very impressed. If all future stories will be of this quality then I am glad I decided to put this many hours into VNS.

NiN this is also the first vote for finishing the story :rolleyes:
 
I've never seen the point in hentai. If you want to see something that turns you on look at real porn, not a cartoon girl with pink hair and overlarge breasts who seem to enjoy being raped....

People are turned on by different things. I personally think hentai is OK (the majority of my porn is real tho).

Theres a lot worse things people can have a fetish for.
