Ninisanni Scenario

可以，可是可能选单搅乱。 要是我考虑而且实验。

btw, I really tried finding the song that played there, would you mind posting a link to it/a playlist with the Soudntrack? 

It's in the jukebox. Just click on the song names. Not all of them will be unlocked though, you have to have certain achievements.  The musicians themselves are mentioned in the credits. All songs are taken from NijiEN members music, a lot of them are their BGMs

In addition to that the characters felt real, with multiple character traits, not being based completely on a single little trait. No character acted completely out of line from what I expected (although i almost only watch clips form some the featured VTubers).

I have to give as much credit to the Nijigirls as I do to myself. They're all such strong personalities with their individual habits and quirks. With certain girls like Rosemi and Finana, you can basically copy-paste from how they normally speak, their voices are so distinct.

It's also nice to hear they were accurate. This was a big worry of mine and I spent countless hours watching streams from the girls I don't usually watch, so as to capture their vocal tics and the cadence of their banter. 

I'm glad I did, because I originally wasn't going to include Ethyria at all, so as to limit the scope. But I was watching a Nina stream one day, and realized how incredibly talented and charismatic she is. From there on, there was no way I wasn't going to include them, even if that meant essentially doubling the writing time and asset production.

but the Sprites, that were there felt alive when animated. It also lead to the texts being more decriptive, and the player having to use a little bit of imagination without having to use too much.

Fufufu, this was my intention. Staging the characters and choreography took almost as much time as the rough draft, but once you get to see them move and speak, it's really magical.

I especially enjoyed the smutty scenes, because they were so well written.

This was my first time ever writing sex scenes, but I found that it wasn't uncomfortable at all. A big part of their success, I attribute to the natural intimacy and connection between the MC and the girls.

Speaking of which: would you be comfortable with me releasing some sort "Ultimate guide" for the "All LINEs" and "Seduce all nine girls" achievments, when I get there?

Someone already made one in this link. I can confirm it's accurate .

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS IN LINK

What I'm trying to say is... this Game somehow awakened a special feeling in me, that I cannot really explain, but it's a good one!

That's really cool to hear. I tried my best to put heart and soul into it, so people could feel the way I feel. That it touched you and others in the same way that it touched me really means a lot.

Anyways, did this change my opinion about Visual Novels? A little, yes.

This is great to hear. VNs have so much potential as a medium. Some great stuff has been published, but there's so much room to grow, and when creators start taking their work seriously, they can create some truly amazing stuff.

And if you do, I would appreciate more Characters (looking at you, Mika)

I'm playing around with the idea of cameos in the sequel. I typically wouldn't consider it, but certain individuals fit so naturally within certain scenarios.

But did this intruduce me to someone who has great writing skills? Absolutely! Consider me a follower.

Look forward to my future releases then! I'm not stopping just yet, it's full steam ahead for me!

2 GB

High quality BGs for panning and zooming. You (as well as anybody else) can find a compressed version here https://f95zone.to/threads/ninisanni-scenario-v1-0-dullachan.152210/#post-103507...

Edit: You know what, just for you I'm going to upload the compressed version to itch.io. No reason not to, I suppose.

Edit2: I'm reneging, as I now realize the compresser compressed it with persistent data still inside (activated flags and spoiler save states). What a goofball.

Selen route kills me because I just cannot find the trigger to finish it and get the ending

Did you get her LINE? Doing so nets you a fair amount of points toward her route, and elucidates what seduction techniques work well on her and what doesn't.

Since all the girls are different, they're not all captured the same. Still, plenty of hints are dropped throughout the VN as to how capture Selen.

scenario 2 one day

It's an idea that's cooking. I'm taking a couple months off for now, but I have plans in the works.

Oh my, thanks for all the praise! I'm pleased that you've notice and appreciated some things I've taken gentle care to include, it's always a sigh of relief.

>Would have been nice if the Luxiem guys had more than one and done cameos

To be honest, I don't feel comfortable writing them accurately, because I don't watch them all too often. I also think they're talented and special enough to deserve their own VN, made by people who are more familiar with their in-jokes and speech patterns.

>drink-strip quiz game no choices

It does stand out, particularly because the scene is long.
Choices were my intention initially, but my peabrain kept getting confused by the continuity of removed clothing and whose turn it was. Probably should have thrown some small choices in though, if only to make those girl's routes a tad easier.

>common route

The routes are really strange in this VN. Only two girls have their "routes" affect proceeding through the common route (common route defined as everything before the corkboard). One of those two are only in because the scenes are vestigial, from a time when I wanted each girl to have to earn their route in the common route.
I changed this around once I realized I wasn't giving the girls enough screentime to work their way into your heart.

>stalker reveal

Others have complained about this too. I think what it comes down to is false advertising on my part. Stalker isn't exactly the right word. Yandere seems to cover it, but it's more of a character trait than a role/archetypal VN role... Matchmaker might work, but it's weird and has more positive connotations... Part of the difficulty is not being descriptive enough to spoil the minor reveal.
I am noting the demand for stalker Enna. I'm definitely taking it into account, nfufufu...

>same cast in a different context

This would be the most likely scenario. I am completely gassed on ideas for scenes for the school setting. If I do throw out a sequel, I'm gonna take the girls somewhere different. Maybe make them OLs. Maybe throw them into an isekai world. Maybe they all go on a roadtrip. I haven't decided, but I have some ideas... 

Once again, thanks for giving it a try, and I'm happy you enjoyed it!

>really makes me want to create a VN

Definitely give it a shot! I love VNs a lot, and would love to play more. VNs are easier to make then you think. My recommendation is that you download Renpy to see if you like it. There are other tools for VN creation, but I don't see them offer many features that make them worth the switch.

Included within your download of Renpy are two games, Tutorial and The Question. Tutorial is a Renpy tutorial in VN format with a cute lady explaining how to go about using Renpy in a very easy to understand way. The Question is a sample VN that you can edit, replace assets and dialogue and such. The script files for The Question is intentionally laid out in a very clean format, so as to show you how a proper script should look. 

For viewing .rpy files, I use Editra. For sound effects, I go to Zapsplat. For backgrounds, I go to Unsplash. Take those and some ripped sprites of your favorite chuubas off the internet, and just go at it! Oftentimes, if you have nice BG, it helps inspire the scene in your head.

Past that, it's all up to you. Creativity matters a lot, and it's cultivated over time. If you want my advice on how to REALLY make your VN stand out, I have three points. 

1. Animation: Every line of dialogue from a character should have an expression change or movement. This will be time consuming, but the finished product is really movielike and choreographed. It's fun to do too, like being a stage director!

2. Sound Effects: I used way less sound effects than I should have.  When used properly, they can add a lot of ambience. The hard part with sound effects is finding the perfect sound effect for your situation.

3. UI: To those who have played a lot of VNs, the default UI to Renpy is poison on the eyes. Definitely change up the images in the GUI folder, if you get the chance. Though since you're a beginner, you shouldn't worry much about this one, but it's definitely something to consider in the future when releasing a finished product. Adding image maps, jukeboxes, extras, are all fun little quality of life things that put a bit of extra soul into your project.

If you'll allow me to wax poetic for a moment, visual novels are a beautiful medium whose advantages haven't been fully captured yet, I feel. Their appeal lies more within a cinematic experience than the written word, and favors those who know their characters and can write snappy dialogue, but maybe flounder when it comes to scenic descriptions. It's closer to directing a movie than it is writing a book, so anticipate getting your hands dirty in writing, art, sound design, and coding. I don't mean to scare you off though, because it's all fun in very unique ways.

>in petra's ending was that an AoT reference or am I just misinterpreting it?

I felt bad killing the mood with that line, but I couldn't stop laughing every time I went over it in proofreading, and so I decided to leave it in.

>I do kinda wish some of the ending were a little fleshed out

As do I. If I were to do it again, I would've added more, more, more. Definitely add at least one more scene to offset the date -> epilogue resulting in back to back sex scenes.

Maybe I will, you never know. I had to pace this one weirdly because I wanted players to get a thorough introduction to the girls through a longer common route before they chose. 

>deck the main character in the face

I tried to avoid the very Japanese trope of making the self-insert a wilting flower. And then when the results leaned too far in the other direction, making him a boisterous dummy, I just fanned the flames because it was funny. I think in the very first scene with the flashback is the most unforgivable for me. It's just so enraging.

>pomu's ending

I'll give you a hint. You get on it before the collab scenes. So the first day's choices matter the most, and after that it doesn't matter at all.

Glad you're enjoying it!

As for a hint, there's a key choice in the Millie festival scene which can cut you off entirely from her route! Choose carefully...
