A while ago I asked about whether or not people would buy a WG VN with AI art, and I just got spammed about AI being le bad, so lets assume that I somehow manage to get a real artist for it.
How excited would you be about this:
>5-10 hour-ish long VN
>heavily inspired by Ayano's WG, with a similar longform slow-burn story
>more interesting side-cast
>more realistic consequences for gain, pushback from friends and family, etc; but not to the point of being too dark or dramatic
>about high school girls (I don't care but obviously zoomers are brainrotted about this)
>written by a good writer who's actually made and sold stories that people have cared about before(Don't ask, I'm not gonna doxx myslef)
Do you think it would sell on steam? Would you buy it for around 10$? Would Patreon do better? I'm just asking again because I' enjoying making this thing so much that I looks like I'm gonna finish it no matter what, I just have no idea if there's money to be made or not. In theory there should be, and I'd kind of like to be able to do this as a career thing, but it's hard to say because lot of people seem to prefer instant gain and not really care about fics and immersion and consequences too much.
