first of all, thanks for a fast and amazingly descriptive response, i usually don't get those on other websites like youtube and soundcloud, second of all, i used to know quite a bid of python before i started using html5 and javascript to make simple game ideas i had, so that's all cool for me, as all i have to do is view a few stackoverflow pages. again, thanks for the great reply, and i hope to be making my own visual novel soon!
Oh, awesome! Glad to hear you're familiar with python! Sorry for my assuming; usually I end up running into people who have no idea about any type of programming and so they take that as an excuse to never make their game-- so I'm always trying to encourage people to at least check out the program before giving up X)
Good luck with your visual novel! You can do it!
