Visual Novels

"A visual novel (ビジュアルノベル bijuaru noberu?) is an interactive fiction game, featuring mostly static graphics, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage).As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels.

In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels proper (abbreviated NVL), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG or ADV), which may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans. Visual novels and ADVs are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006." Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_novel

this is one of my favorite genre of games at any console, device or PC and making them is just as fun. The language I use to make games like this is Python and I use the visual novel engine ren'py you should check their site if you have time and download their tools and I promise you could make games with ease. honestly I still have trouble with art since I could not draw but with this engine I could make games and compile them for Windows, Mac, Linux and even Android. For programmers wanting to enter the game industry alone I suggest making visual novel since it has a lower learning curve and the demand for it is still strong even specially in Japan
