It is indeed a lot of work, haha. Sometimes it’s a bit of a chore trying to do different aspects of it by yourself when it’s tasks that you don’t find particularly enjoyable x3 Like for example, I’m not really a coder. I hate coding. I use the software I use because it cuts out having to write proper code and lets you use a simplified scripting language instead, so that’s a big help, but it’s still like writing thousands of lines of code and it’s something I find extremely monotonous and highly unenjoyable, haha. It has to be done though if I want the game to work, so I just have to suck it up and get on with it xD It must be nice to be part of a permanent team where everyone has different roles covered and everyone gets to do mainly tasks they enjoy!
Voice acting was actually one of my main motivators to start making VNs and still is now :3 I just really love it, haha. To me, if I know I can’t get VA for a project I’m working on, it really kills my motivation to work on it at all cos one of my favourite parts of making games is getting to hear the characters come to life with voice acting x3 As a player, I guess I’m kind of the opposite to you because I generally won’t play a game if there is no voice acting included, haha.
Thank you for your support :3 It means a lot.
