Alright /jp/, here's the deal:

Recently I have noted a surprising number of people expressing interest over working on a visual novel. I know this story has been going on around here for years, but this time I want to take advantage of that. Right now, we have a /jp/ channel on IRC dedicated to making and sharing original content, kind of an extension to the OC thread. We tried to get a few projects going before, but for many reasons which ranged from lack of writers to poor direction, we failed all of them so far.
Trying to avoid that, we are organizing this call to arms with the following purpose: get anyone who is interested on working on a SHORT VN(around 20k words to be more precise) to join the channel, and get a few discussions going about which sort of scenario should we work on.

Before you jump the gun, be advised that we currently have around 10 people standing by at the channel, and have been for quite a while. Of course that when talking about actual projects the line of responsibility gets hazier, but so far I'm under the impression that people quitting randomly won't be a problem.

So tl;dr of what you need to do:

1) Join #jp-devel @ irc.rizon.net (http://cbe001.chat.mibbit.com/#jp-devel@irc.rizon.net))
2.a) Artists/Musicians/Coders who are interested, join and move to step 3.
2.b) Writers, pitch your idea of a scenario you'd want to write until the end.
3) Discuss the project until we have a fixed goal.
4) Take it easy.

If you just want to talk with other /jp/ users, that is also fine, we mostly chat about all sorts of related shit anyway. More people are always appreciated.

See you guys there.

Excellent, another IRC channel that I can idle in!

Jokes aside, I guess I'll join in to cheer you guys on.

You don't have at least a general idea of what you want it to be? Date sim or mystery? Kinetic novel or branching? Erotic content?

There's a reason they say #/jp/ is the exact opposite of /jp/. It's beyond me why they even use this board's name.

There is no rules regarding the content of the story as of now. Everyone is welcome to join in, pitch your idea and discuss the already presented ones. Just keep in mind that the actual script can't get too long.

>>7794803
Yeah but you are quoting A-san, which is notorious for being a faggot.

>>7794807
Best of luck to you too.

To everyone else who's still not sure about joining, please consider doing so. We are just brainstorming about concepts and ideas, even if you don't want to take part on any potential projects, I'm sure your input will be appreciated.

I maintain the /jp/ habits outside of /jp/. I believe that those who don't do the same are the people that I dislike here.

As for this thread's objective: I think it's better to just work on your idea alone and then when you need help with artists, music, etc just go there and ask.

If everybody went only to get help and didn't idle there to offer the room would be empty all the time and nobody would get any help ever.

>>7794963
So are you trying to say that it would be different otherwise? That channel exists for more than 6 months already and all that it produced was a side-scrolled game that died because of the lack of sprite artists. Even now, people are circling around like rats in a box.

>> No.7795003

>>7794987
Look, I understand that one might be skeptical about the results the group achieved so far. It's been a long time since we tried to get fresh ideas in, and on that period of idling the group was on the verge of dying.
But right now, we are doing the only thing we can if we want /jp/ to ever make something new again: talking and brainstorming about what can be done. It's only natural that in between that stream of ideas we end up losing focus or having a hard time on keeping the point straight; Even so we want to take our chances once more, hoping that this time the story ends differently.

>> No.7795014

>>7795003

Nobody is trying very hard right now. So far it's only a few people throwing in joke ideas. The only way to really get this going is to just start something and then working from that. All we need is a start.

>> No.7795021

>>7795014
Sure, that's fine. If you want to start, then please present your idea and your script. Because otherwise we'll have to keep discussion as it currently is; trying to find a commonly accepted idea so we can work on it.

>> No.7795039

>>7795021

There's no logic in talking about a game that doesn't exist. What we need is an engine or something to build from. Games aren't built by thinking about them.

>Games aren't built by thinking about them.

I'm sure we have efficient coders to sort that out, but we can use Kirikiri or ONScripter for all we care. For now, we need to come up with a good idea to procceed. If we just "do it", it'll end up as non-documented clusterfuck, which will most likely eliminate any interest.
Let's take it easy, talk about this calmly and keeping our cool, once we have a plan, then we'll assign positions and jobs to all members.

Or you can stop shitposting, make new characters, and put your ideas to use.

I doubt you'll do that though. Too much work for someone like you.
