Maybe, but I don't think so in this instance :P Visual Novels are pretty obscure in North America. I couldn't have told you what one was a year and a half ago. They've just now started getting official translations and going up for sale on Steam (a digital video game service).

Wow. I shouldn't be too surprised though. One of my favorite sites to visit is this one: http://trenchescomic.com/tales (unfortunately they haven't updated since September so it is probably dead). People who have worked in game development share their bad experiences. Most of the stories end with them being laid off or getting screwed in the shittiest ways. Programmers and artists are treated as though they are a dime a dozen in those stories, it is really sad. Despite all of that, I would certainly like to write the story for a video game. It'll be worth checking out once I have some more experience under my belt.

Thank you!
