This is so exciting! You all deserve to feel so proud of what you've achieved together.
My question is for the writing team. The writing in MinoHotel is beautiful and inspiring all at once. It encourages me to keep working on my own writing. What advice or tips would you give to someone who is looking to get better at writing for visual novels?
KangaRube here: I really hope this does not sound like just writing off your question, but we did all put together a kind of "here are some ways to get started, to think through some things, and gain some confidence" guide a while back:
It is in three parts--- which can be accessed from here (this wiki page just also has a list of the topics included in each part, in case you wanted to hone in on one particular element first, and you can see a "table of contents") https://wiki.minotaur.gay/index.php/Minotaur_Hotel%27s_Writing_Manual
I don't know at what level of writing you are so I don't know what advice to give you, but I think one of the things that most helped us is having a grasp of pacing -- how to handle the scenes and players' emotions so it all flows well. When to make something jarring, when to make it slow. I think that's one of the key things for FVNs.
