I don't think I've heard of any on Roblox, when I think it'd be a pretty good platform for one. Anyone think the same? Or must all games on here really be full of action because the majority of the population have short attention spans? Just a thought. :^)

Sounds a good idea, I'd say go for it! It's never gonne become the most popular game on roblox but then that wouldn't be your aim it would be a showcase. There are loads of well visited showcases though and if it's any good I'm sure your place will be appreciated by the more mature community. Best of luck - CC

Sorry I haven't been checking the thread too actively. But I appreciate your input, thanks! :) I might try if I can think of a good enough story.

There haven't been any because the Roblox community favors games that provide quick action for short periods of times. It's why all those murder games where there are quick rounds, so you can join, play, and leave within a half hour. It's the same for why there haven't been many story driven RPGs on this platform.

If you made an actually visual novel, I would play it. I love those so much :D Also, don't listen to the people saying that robloxians have a short attention span, and therefor cannot read. That's dumb and also not true. Robloxians LOVE slow-paced games. Examples: Work at a Pizza Place Epic Mining 2 Roblox High School Every Tycoon Ever (not an actual place <.<) Adopt and Raise a Cute Baby Kingdom Life The Quarry Build Your Own Mech The Conquerors These are all front page games that are not VERY fast paced, proving that your project can be successful ^^

@ORZpasserAtw Thank you! I'll be sure to consider using that when/if I make one. xD @xEtan Ah yes, that is true. Although I do think that visual novels could be a bit more meaningful than games(I know they're still pretty fun) where you just have to murder everyone for no reason more than just to win. :C @distalDigitPhalanx Awesome! I'll be sure to let you know (again)when/if I make one. ^__^ And I won't listen, haha, you made a good point. Thanks for taking the time to use examples!
