Do You Need a Point System in a Visual Novel?

Maybe. While a point system can be effective, it's not the only option. Some visual novels could use a combination of methods. For instance, they could have a simple point - based indication of relationship status in the background, while also using more nuanced dialogue and event - based relationship building in the foreground.

Not always. It depends on the theme and gameplay mechanics the creator wants to incorporate.

Yes. Steins Gate 0 builds upon the story and lore of Steins Gate 1. Without experiencing Steins Gate 1, you may be confused by the events, references, and character developments in Steins Gate 0. The first game sets the foundation for the entire series, so it's almost essential to play it before delving into Steins Gate 0.

In most cases, no. Visual novels are often not very demanding graphically and can run without DirectX. They typically rely more on basic graphics and text-display functionality which doesn't require the advanced features of DirectX.

😋I recommend the following novels to you to see if they meet your needs: 1. "Doomsday Reliance System" sci-fi-Doomsday Crisis; 2. "Carrying Space as a Panda" 3. "Farming Door Beauty: Fragrance Garden" ancient romance-through the strange feelings. I hope my recommendation can help you find the novel you like. If you have other needs, please feel free to ask me questions ~ These are my personal recommendations. I sincerely hope you like them ~

😋I recommend the following novels to you: 1. "What Should I Do When the Female Lead of a Fictional Story Arrives in Reality": The female lead always comes to the real world from the novel and tries to move from fantasy to reality. It's very interesting. 2. "Immortal Martial: I'm Bound to a Fictional World": The protagonist can travel back and forth between the Immortal Martial World and the Fictional World. The combination of the two worlds is very interesting. 3. "I Dropped My Book": The protagonist's soul actually transmigrated into the novel, and this novel doesn't look very friendly. It's funny and sarcastic. After reading it, people can't help but laugh. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Normally, there was no need to set up Stamina Points for novels, but it might be necessary in certain situations. It depended on the type of work and the rules. Some novels might require readers to maintain a certain amount of food intake during the reading process to maintain their stamina. Some novels might allow the reader to take breaks or pause to engage in other activities. Therefore, he needed to check the specific rules and guidelines to know if he needed to set up Stamina Points.

There's 'Danganronpa'. It has a really unique style with mystery and high - stakes situations. The choices you make can have significant consequences, much like in 'point of no return visual novel'. Also, 'Fate/stay night' is quite similar. It has different routes and a point where the story really commits to a particular path, similar to the concept of no return.

I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different 'critical point visual novels'. It might be a story that reaches a crucial or 'critical point' in the plot, which is common in visual novels. Visual novels usually involve a lot of text and some illustrations, so it could be about a character's decision at a critical moment, like in a mystery where they figure out the key clue at a crucial time.

It can be useful but not mandatory. Storyboarding offers a structured approach and helps in planning scenes and character arcs. However, if you have a strong intuitive sense of the story, you might not need to rely on it.
