Visual Novel

A visual novel can be seen as a combination of a novel and a computer game: they're computer games with a large text based storyline and only little interaction of the player. A typical visual novel consists of text over an anime-style background image and is accompanied by background music. Throughout the game, the player usually has to answer a few questions which will have an effect on the story, thus playing a visual novel a second time while giving other answers may result in an entirely different plot.

Per https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/22200, I have gone and made a DokuWiki that we as a community can build together. I, unfortunately, know very little about what specifically I'm doing with wiki software, particularly when it comes to making things look pretty.

For now, the to-do list looks like:

I look forward to working together with all of you!

What realistic options do we have for making a copy of this wiki here on lemmy? Am I going to have to spin up a DokiWiki? Repurpose my WordPress blog to post some of these articles? I'm open to suggestions, too.

For me, Yume Miru Kusuri was my first visual novel. I don't even remember why I played it, but I liked it so much that I'm here forever now.

What steps, if any, do you guys take on the linux distribution of your choice to play visual novels?

I, personally, set the following in my .bashrc

alias vn='env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine start '

so I can just type vn gameExecutable.exe and usually just have the game work.

For the games I've had for a while, I have .desktop entries in my $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications directory with more specific commands as needed.

If you guys have any other tricks up your sleeves, please feel free to share them here.
