I’m working on developing a visual novel with friends. Do you think this coding help will be enough, or will I need others too?

Question

I’m inexperienced with coding— the only stuff I know is in html it’s basically just fancy italics and other things this first lesson goes over anyway. There was a dating sim maker I was using called Ren’py to help, but I decided I wanted to do it on my own if I could. Long story short, once I’m done with what I’m leaning here, will that be enough for a simple visual novel, or will I have to go somewhere else to supplement this?

Answer 1

By visual novel do you mean something like an e-book or something interactive? Sounds to me like you need an existing application to do it rather than coding it yourself. But this being a programming website, if you want to code it all yourself, if you learn html, css, js, jquery etc. here and supplement your knowledge with other materials elsewhere either online or offline, you could achieve your goal.

Answer 2

yeah, ren'py is enough to make a professional visual novel.
but you need to learn python instead of html, then head to ren'py from there.
and understanding how to organize your file directories in your game is also important.
such as where you organize all the image, musics and videos.
