Hello all, I am a writer, I have 75% or so of the script done. I want to make a visual novel about a doomer. (Someone with functioning depression) who goes on different kinds of adventures? Most endings are bad, but I'm crafting at least one happy ending. This is a great project for someone wanting to do sad/bleak vibes. I will require an artist who knows how to use renpy and ideally sound&music. but willing to hire separate people if they can only do one.
