Does anybody play visual novel games? If so, what do you think is the most important component of a good one and are there any in particular that you would recommend? I'm attempting to make one just now as a side project and deeply curious!

A photo I took of a train driver on-route to Sapporo, Hokkaido. Japanese trains are fantastically aesthetic! This one was just a single carriage lugging its way through the snow

#3 - Reference tracks are always great. Ideally 3-4 pieces of music that the decision makers for the project all like. Double points if some of these are from a game in the same genre (though wildcards can always be fun too!)

#2 - If I can't play your game (very understandable) then it's great to have access to any videos/artwork (even if concept) to have available as I'm writing. I love to be as much in the atmosphere of your game as I can whilst I'm writing, and composers/visual artists can even inform one another

Tips to Game Devs for good communication with composers #1 (thanks @just-write-studios.itch.io for the prompt) - please let me play your game if possible (no matter how early doors). Understanding pace/vibe/art direction of game via actual gameplay is invaluable and means I can aim to compliment

Gamers of Bluesky, what kinds of behind the scenes composery things would you be interested in seeing? I'm having such a fun time working with @ratmode.games composing for their beautiful & cute as heck cozy game, Soggy Beans. I hope to document some of the process as I'm making the music
