What is the best visual novel maker (free or paid forms) one can use? I have seen a few, but I can't seem to understand any of them. I'm not really a fan of those games, but I have an idea. I want to make it, but I first felt it being an anime. Then I'm tyring to write it as a novel. But recently I felt what if I tried making it as a visual novel.
I don't know the good and easy to learn programs.
The most popular is Ren'Py; it's open source, free, and easy to use if you want to create a visual novel.
The downside is that if you want something more complex than the basics, you have to write Python code.
The upside is that, being so popular, it's full of tutorials and people willing to help you with any questions.
If you're looking for something that's more text-based and less graphical (though you can still include graphical components), I recommend focusing on "interactive fiction" instead of "visual novels," and there you can try Twine, which allows you to create content similar to "choose your own adventure" books.
Just a bit of general advice - if you don't even really like VNs and your heart just isn't in making one, you're probably not going to see the project through. Making a VN takes massive amounts of work, in a variety of different disciplines - just like any game. Really consider carefully if that's what you want to do.
