1. Would you play it if it was free?
Of course. Free games deserve at least a playthrough to check them properly and give feedback to the creator(s)
2. Would you play it if it was bad?
Already played Rita, Please Respond. It was objectively bad, but it was an enjoyable experience. So even bad things can have value.

Nope. Need every scrap of creative power for my own projects.

1. Sure would.
2. I wouldn't know until I played it, now would I =P
3. I'm a writer, of course I would.
4. Honestly? Good writing. That means many things, but it also, in my view, means the following:
- Tropes are cool so long as the character is descriptive of the tropes, rather than the tropes descriptive of the character. Want to have another goddam moe chick? Make her an interesting goddam moe chick.
- Manipulative tragedy is stupid. Don't go the Key route. Even KS was pushing it at times. Or rather, if you really want to write a melodrama soap opera, then make it as hilariously over-the-top as possible. None of this half-assed half-parody half-serious stuff that fails at both.
- Have fun, and write the stories and characters you want to write. Having some real world experiences never hurt either.
Also, I'd like to see:
- Robots
- Different art style.
- Takes place during a war.
- Does not take place at a school, nor does it star some milquetoast of a male lead. Make the main character a strong personality. Maybe even a chick?

Intricate plot twists, perhaps playing one route will unlock information about another route, and if you go back and re-play it you can get more information or even alternative endings.

Avant-garde composure, do more than just the normal (picture)(text)(options) we're used to seeing.

Trains and airplanes. There's something extremely romantic about those.

Drug use. Just because it's always fun to throw stuff like that into the story line, and I'm getting tired of all media involving drugs featuring either scumbags or lazy fucks.

Protagonist brushing one of the girls teeth. Or any fetish fan-service is fine, but teeth brushing is the superior fetish.

1) Maybe.

3) Ideas are cheap. Instead, I'll give you a question:
Why a VN?
That's the first question you should be asking yourself. Does the story justify the medium, or would it work better as a comic/videogame/novel/etc?
If not, you should think of changing either the medium or the story.
4) For christs sake, a well written story! Take inpiration from western literature, because sadly, most VNs which make it in english here are badly translated, or thrashy literature.
5) ... Whatever.

I don't think so. Lots of people who do drugs, at least publicly, are pretty sleazy, but that doesn't mean they all are. Lots of famous authors have done drugs, as have many respectable people. However the only people ever portrayed as doing them, or that do them publicly are scumbag lazy fucks.

I think media completely disregards drug use among bohemians, scientists, artists, and lovers, in order to cater to a stupid "stoner" subculture.

If OP was able to portray them being used like any other substance, I'd be quite happy.

3. MC is a student that doesn't fit in the usual cliché, except for the fact that he sits in THE SEAT. One day a girl enrolls in his class, who is obsessed with anime and assigns her new classmates rolls based on usual clichés. For example, MC's best friend should be the comedic relief character in her opinion, but in reality that doesn't suit his personality at all.
For a few weeks she continuously causes chaos in school, like knocking over a girl ("You have glasses and big breasts, hence you must be the clumsy character and trip a lot!") and trying to force MC on top of her to reenact a "trip and touch" scene, after which she gets in serious trouble for sexual harassment.
Finally, when she kicks MC's friend down the stairs (because she thinks that's how the female lead is supposed to act towards the comedic relief) he is hospitalized and MC loses it, slaps her in the face and yells at her until she drops the act.
The conclusion is that everything she did was because she wanted to live out her fictional world in real life, except for the fact that she really did fall in love with MC. Then consensual intercourse in missionary position is implied.

>Can you elaborate on what you mean by manupulative tragedy?
Not him, but my own idea of manipulative tragedy is something like the protagonist's dog getting run over in the middle of the story: a sad scene that doesn't proceed naturally from the character's faults as in an actual tragedy. Doing something like that is just a way of trying to elicit emotions from the audience without any precedent in the story.

To me, manipulative tragedy is the creation of the tragic by analogy with what we might consider tragic in our own lives; true tragedy is the creation of the tragic by way of the narrative and thematic structure (e.g. the character's dramatic flaw). The first type juts out of the narrative while the second type flows from the premise and characters. It's not always easy to determine which is which.

It would be different if the protagonist was characterized as careless for the whole story and the death of his dog followed from his carelessness, but many writers create stuff like that so readers feel more attached to the characters/story. Many readers would still hold a grudge against you, though, since dead dog stories have become as dead emotionally as the animals that populate them are dead physically.

It's pretty depressing that I've been looking everywhere for stories, doujins, VNs or otherwise where a main character, or main path character is revealed to be futa. But more of a 'normal' "what if it was real" sort of futa. But nobody really did that except for Nekomataya. Who no longer draws futa.

It's more adorable then sad, cute and endearing while also being very sexy. But no one seems to like that.

I am planning something similar and have been hoarding art and concepts.

Ren'py is basically your only choice unless you want to make one on your own or find a programmer to make one for you. There are other engines, but the more promising ones still aren't as fully featured as Ren'py.

You don't have to go to LS to use Ren'py, you can use the engine as long as you credit it. And it's not like it won't be released beyond mostly autismals.

So basically, throwing some non sequitur emotional event at the reader is manipulative tragedy, whereas, say, the death of an established character, whose death may be indirectly influenced by the protagonists actions, is more substantive?

What if the tragedy is congruent to the over-all story but doesn't necessarily stem out of the characters actions and/or personality? Does losing that intrinsic tie between the protagonist and the narrative affect the relevance and legitimacy of the tragedy? I'd imagine it's circumstantial, and even at that, a slippery slope but still. Gut reaction?

OP is probably long gone. However...

Just fucking do it. Don't ask for anyone's opinion. Of these "ideas" threads I've never seen a single thing come into fruition. Use what you've got and make something.
