>Doki Doki Literature Club was a free vn
>Now the creator is a millionaire
What's stopping the average /v/tard from making a visual novel on renpy and making bux?

>>718267428 (OP)
Writing skills.
Effort.
Assets.
A reason.
You name it.
If it was so easy everyone would have made bank by now.
Same reason stupid people say, wanna have money? Just get into IT.
It's not that simple, moron.

nothing except the $100 required to post a game on steam
if you look at the new releases page on steam you can see a wasteland of RenPy VNs that no one has ever, or will ever, buy alongside the other trash

Unrelated but, a Kaguya-sama videogame would go hard.
An Escape Room game where you have to use your intellect like Virtue Last Reward would be perfect for it.
Or at least a Mario-esque Party game.
I can't believe Spy × Family got one...

is chika's armpit really necessary

I could use AI to shit out a VN but nobody would buy it so it's a waste of time

>>718269026
Try using your sovl to tell a story with a VN instead then

>>718268570
100 bucks is nothing. that's like 10% of minimum wage.
Anon here makes more sense:

Anything is possible with creativity. Doki Doki did well. Btw isn't AI detected by Steam? I read somewhere you have to show off your process.

>>718268976
God damn right it is

>>718267428 (OP)
It takes effort and a lot of time, if your skin color is the same as shit so you think you can get away with replacing everything with ai then "people" already do that and they don't do well.

>>718272760
Anons have all the time and resources in the world.

It's too late, it's already over.

>>718267428 (OP)
i respect myself too much to shit out something basic with renpy

>>718267428 (OP)
If it was a free game how did he become a millionaire? Does he get royalties from merchandise or something?

Congrats, you've made an Original English Language Visual Novel, the audience for which is so vanishingly small you can count the number of breakout hits - ever - on one hand. If it's bux you're after, you'll have better odds doing absolutely anything else.
>t. making one
