Lukkern rated New Horizon

Lukkern rated a Visual Novel 17 days ago
A downloadable Visual Novel.

Does have a lot of potential. Visually, it looks absolutely amazing. Writing wise, there's still  improvement to be had, although the further into it you get, the better it becomes. There's several moments that are absolutely phenomenal, but there's also plenty of moments that are pretty dull and sequences that drag on for far too long. The main plot just isn't that interesting, but whenever the writing focuses on drama over action, it's honestly incredible. There's kinda too many subplots going on, and I do notice the developer struggling in some way to figure out how to develop some of the characters. Some of them could be outright removed from the game entirely, and you probably wouldn't even notice. 

The comedic writing is hit or miss, but when it hits, it's usually hilarious. This guy seriously needs someone to proofread this as well though, as nearly every other sentence has up to multiple spelling errors.

I do think this guy might be able to become an amazing writer over time, as he does truly have absolutely incredible emotional scenes and beautiful phrases all over the place. The potential to make this game fantastic certainly is there. He certainly has the visual side completely nailed already, but just needs to keep working and improving his writing. It's the opposite problem I have, as I seriously need to improve my honeyselect 2 and Ren'Py skills lol.
