Holy shit it really is her! This is what happened to her!

Poor thing! ;_;

"Uguu am I moe now?"-her last words

/jp/, I am writing a visual novel. I have not played a great many visual novels, but I am still interested in the format. I've played mostly the popular ones; Ever 17, Umineko, Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, Planetarian, Sengoku Rance(if you can count that), Saya no Uta.

I'm also a big fan of the Phoenix Wright/Turnabout Courtroom series and the CING games.

I've seen the animes based on Higurashi, Kanon and Clannad too so I have some idea of what they're like.

However I don't really want to make anything like that. I had my own ideas before I started reading VNs and while I've been heavily inspired by them I'm not sure if there's one that's a good reference for what I want to do.

I want to do something in an urban fantasy kind of setting like FSN, but set in a city with a kind of near future cyberpunk kind of vibe. I suppose it'd be a lot like the Indexverse.

Has anyone here written a VN before? I have had characters and ideas lying around for ages I wanted to make into a comic or novel, but since I have to make something in Flash for college I thought I'd try a VN.

I was thinking of adding point/click elements(like the Cing games) but I don't want it to turn into yet another shitty Flash Point & Click. When I'm finished with the college one, I may expand it into a full VN with a large soundtrack of electronic music from local producers.

However, for now, I'm stuck on the "Scenario"...

All of this shit is so foreign to me.
How would I even start learning how to be as hardcore an otaku as you guys? Is there some kind of encyclopedia or guide or something? I'm honestly not trolling. Some weird part of me is jealous.
