Hey y'all, I've GM'd campaigns for 20 years, had a huge amount of OC's and chaotic plots gone awry, and I wrote a really fun "choose your own adventure" styled story.... I thought it would translate really well into a VN. I've been toying around with it for a few days, and feel like I'm doing something excruciatingly wrong. I've been trying to leverage sprites, AI Tools, and resources to get it to have some substance; buuuut... I'm 3 days in and I have all of 2 minutes of gameplay. I was looking for an RPG-Maker-Esque drag+drop+flow kind of thing with the Ren'Py engine... but apparently it requires a full on dev team.
I think I'm hitting a blindspot, looking for a way to convert a written novel/storytelling, into an interactive adventure... If anyone has a suggestion, I would appreciate it, I work 60+hrs/week, and have a family, but I'm trying to follow a passion project :)
Thanks,
Marshall
