Hi guys!
About a week ago I ran across mention of a program to make Visual Novels, called Ren'Py.
It looked doable enough that I wanted to try!

So I've decided to try, obviously. I'm making all the art, script and coding by myself. VNs have music along them, sop I['m not sure how I'm going to that by myself lol. But I'll shall cross that bridge when i get to it.

See, I've been posting character art of mine and collecting art for a while now, and I haven't really actually gave out their stories really.
My first Visual Novel, which I'm considering calling Hospitality, will be the background stories of some of the characters you can find in my gallery.

It would make more sense for me to have it as a Kinetic Novel, where you'd just have a story to read and click along to, but I thought it'd be funner to try and throw in some user interaction where you can control the story. Think like a choose your own adventure book, with animation and music. The choice you make in the game will effect who the story ends, along with your relationships with the characters.

The Main Character I've chosen this time you can see here. Her story brought in quite a lot of characters, do that's why I've chosen her first. Depending on the outcome of this VN, I plan on making many more! Wish me luck you guys!

Ah, I'm not sure how much more I should say, aha.
Though you can leave comments or questions and I'm sure I'll answer them ;D
