Hello! It's true I don't have any skills to make art. I really tried to learn it this past year so I could make the characters for this VN and, well... it didn’t go well. I wanted to make a VN to reach a wider audience. With a VN (art & sounds), I believe I can make the project feel more "atmospheric." However, I'm not against making it a text-adventure, and if it's a better route to fund this project, I will certainly do it. I'm just afraid that with text-only, I will not get any traction for my project.
thats fair! it is true that text-only will probably reach a smaller audience than a VN, but it's also true that a VN with ai art will turn off enough people that it might mean the audience is smaller than if you went text-only anyway. just something to think about :) anyway i wish you luck whatever you decide
