Visual novels are a type of interactive fiction video game that grant writers the power to easily create digital choose-your-own-adventure-style stories.
In this workshop, instructor and game developer Em Williamson will guide you through the basics of creating your own visual novel. Learn about how to balance your own writing style with player freedom, how to create compelling narrative choices and branching paths, how to create art and assets (even if you don't know how to draw!), and what software is out there to help you get started on your visual novel journey.
