On creating visual novels

Jeepney Stories is my first visual novel. I've always been fascinated with visual novels and narrative games but I have never attempted to make one until now. And oh boy, was it a fun experience!

Wanna write a book or edit a script? Wanna direct a movie or edit a short film? Animation? Sequencing? Storyboarding? Guess what, I've done all of these plus more during the game's development. Think it's that easy? Huge NOPE. I had to create my own dialog system from scratch. I had to make my sequencing dynamic enough so that I can branch character story arcs.

What kept me going was the fulfillment I felt whenever I finish a "day" within the game. It's such a rewarding experience to be able to tell my story in an interactive way and allow players to affect the outcome too. I honestly can't wait to make this page live and let everyone see it. I've already submitted to Steam, just waiting for the approval. DEMO build soon! 😊
