While they’ve largely kept to PC, they do sometimes dive into the console world. But there’s no denying that the best visual novels can be found on PC and – more specifically – Steam. Here they are, hand-picked by us for you. Here are the best visual novels of all time, available for you to download on PC and steam. Best Visual Novels on PC and Steam. Umineko (When They Cry) – Umineko is a visual novel in the truest sense of the term. Meaning there’s no gameplay to speak of at all; the entire ‘game’ is just a matter of clicking through copious amounts of text and watching as the story unfold. Despite the sluggish start to the first three episodes, things pick up dramatically once the creepy stuff kicks in, and Umineko stands tall as one of the most intriguing and engaging visual novel stories we’ve ever played. That soundtrack too, though. Best Visual Novels on PC and Steam. Higurashi (When They Cry) – Higurashi is a predecessor of sorts to Umineko, and while its story is just as gripping, we don’t recommend starting with this one unless you enjoyed what you saw of Umineko.

University, Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia [email protected] Visual Novel adalah sejenis permainan audiovisual yang menawarkan kekuatan visual melalui narasi dan karakter visual. Data dari komunitas pengembang Visual Novel (VN) Project Indonesia menunjukkan masih terbatasnya pengembang game lokal yang memproduksi Visual Novel Indonesia. Selain itu, produksi Visual Novel Indonesia juga lebih banyak dipengaruhi oleh gaya anime dan manga dari Jepang. Padahal Visual Novel adalah bagian dari produk industri kreatif yang potensial. Studi ini merumuskan masalah, bagaimana memahami Visual Novel sebagai karya seni desain komunikasi visual, khususnya di kalangan mahasiswa? Penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus yang dilakukan terhadap mahasiswa desain komunikasi visual di lingkungan Universitas Indraprasta PGRI Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan masih rendahnya tingkat pengetahuan, pemahaman, dan pengalaman terhadap permainan Visual Novel, yaitu di bawah 50%. Metode kombinasi kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan pendekatan semiotika struktural digunakan untuk menjabarkan elemen desain dan susunan tanda yang terdapat pada Visual Novel. Penelitian ini dapat menjadi referensi ilmiah untuk lebih mengenalkan dan mendorong pemahaman tentang Visual Novel sebagai karya seni Desain Komunikasi Visual.

  • The Construction and Evaluation of a Design Framework for Narrative
    The Construction and Evaluation of a Design Framework for Narrative Games for Health Langxuan Yin Abstract A larger number of games for health were developed over the past two decades to provide an engaging way of health care and behavior change intervention. However, many problems with the design of these games, as well as with the methodologies used to evaluate them emerged: the games were generally designed without the consultation or direct involvement of a professional game designer, and created without the guidance of a proper game design framework; the health messages delivered in the games were mostly simple and knowledge-oriented and not crafted based on theories from behavioral medicine; and the evaluation studies were also poorly designed. To solve these problems, I define the DraGuNa (Drama-Guided Narrative Health Game) framework, a methodology that uses drama theory and sound principles from behavioral medicine to guide games for health design to solve the current problems in games for health. The dissertation introduces a methodology of game design, specifically developed for games for health, which addresses two key constructs: engagement – ensuring users stick with the game for the duration of the intervention; and adherence – ensuring users perform those actions in the game hypothesized by behavioral medicine theories to lead to health behavior change. The dissertation also provides a methodology to develop interactive narrative-based games based on existing story media, which also suggests a new path of research for the intelligent narrative community. Finally, the dissertation describes an experimental framework for testing the effects of a game on the two fundamental dimensions of player involvement in the intervention – engagement and adherence – and tests the relative contributions of each on health outcomes.

  • Program Planning Through a Visual Novel-Style Game
    Program planning through an online visual novel 1 Program Planning through a Visual Novel-style Game Mellissa Lochman University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa [email protected] http://bit.ly/prototype_uhwopp Abstract: This paper describes an instructional design project that conducted a usability study to evaluate an online training instruction for program planning through the use of a visual-novel style game. Program planning is described as an effective way to define, outline, and manage an organization’s events and evaluate their outcomes. Within the University of Hawaiʻi - West Oʻahu Student Life Office, many of the student organizations use program planning to promote events and conduct meetings that incorporate the use of resources, activities, outcomes, etc. Consequently, students within these organizations must take a training course before heading an event or developing a program. An online visual novel style game was developed to provide student board members a way to access this training in their own time. A usability test was used to evaluate the online training for navigation, efficiency, and user satisfaction. Data from the usability test supported the potential likelihood that the training would be a great tool in addition to the already face-to-face instruction, but would still need further development prior to being implemented. Introduction With the construction of the new college campus in August 2012, the University of Hawaiʻi - West Oʻahuʻs (UHWO hereafter) student population increased to approximately 3,128 students (UHWO, n.d.). This has led to an increase in student activities, student fees, and the creation of several student-ran programs and boards.

  • Creating a Game Using Visual Novel Maker
    Nguyen Dang Khoa CREATING A GAME USING VISUAL NOVEL MAKER CREATING A GAME WITH VISUAL NOVEL MAKER Nguyen Dang Khoa Bachelor’s thesis Spring 2019 Information Technology Oulu University of Applied Sciences ABSTRACT Oulu University of Applied Sciences Degree programme, in Information Technology Author: Nguyen Dang Khoa Title of the bachelor’s thesis: Creating a game using Visual Novel Maker Supervisor: Kari Laitinen Term and year of completion: Spring 2019 Number of pages: 91 The aim of this thesis was to study the game making engine, VNMaker. The aim was to create a playable demo using the engine from a beginner’s point of view and to test the effectiveness of VNMaker in assisting game development as a commercially used game engine. In this project, many core features of VNMaker were explored in-depth and ex- amples were given, including pictures and screenshot examples of the develop- ment process. Character artworks and UI were designed and drawn for the pur- pose of being used in the demo. The demo reached a playable state at the end of the work and a final evaluation of the tools was given. There was still more room for extra development on the demo such as better artwork, coding of UX and UI and playing experience, and writing for the story of the game. However, the purpose of the thesis was reached. VNMaker can be highly recommended for programmers and artists who are planning to work on their own visual novels. Keywords: game development, engine, software development, game design 3 PREFACE This thesis presents the final piece of study for my bachelor’s thesis at the Oulu University of Applied Sciences.

  • Why Game Genres? What Are Game Genres? Basic Game Genres
    Game Genres Why Game Genres? What are game genres and why are they important? A game genre is a type of game that shares various design features with other games within the genre. As a game designer you need to understand the core game features in various game genres. Players that seek out games within a game genre will likely expect to find such features in your game. You can also learn how games in specific game genres implement the normal genre features, which is helpful in designing your own game. What are Game Genres? While many games include elements from all of these game genres, there are some games that make the game genre features a primary part of the game. The current general game genres are: First Person Perspective Game – these kinds of games use the first person perspective to put the player in the game. Adventure Game – these kinds of games are typically third person and include puzzles and exploration as central game mechanics Role Playing Games – these kinds of games include a game mechanic that allows the player to progress their character in the game by accruing Experience Points.
