discussion Long form or short story type of VN, what do you prefer more?

[Aerythox]

Personally I'd like a more long form type of story so that I can get to know the character the dev created I enjoy the multiple worlds the devs make, it's like reading a book or manga. Though I don't mind a short story for a quick fap lol

I prefer long, where you get to know multiple characters and developing the relationship, it feels more satisfying

so true, getting to know the characters and working towards the build up makes the scene more hot

 

[dionzx]

Long for sure, especially when the story is gripping

I prefer a more long-form story.

The downside of course being that for a lot of devs their efforts at "long-form" evolve into "never-ending".

Or a lot of times they just cancel the game

Or that, yeah. Game goes on for years until the dev gets bored/broke/sick/dead/etc and discontinues it, leaving the story completely unresolved.

medium to long, for sure. As long the story is not horrible ofc

 

[Aerythox]

I am somewhat happy that people are enjoying the games based on the story they provide and not solely on the erotica aspects of it. Truly men of culture

Long form is better in my opinion. I like stories that really have time to flesh out a character. Not a big fan of super shallow characters.

Short ones though can be good if done really well.

But yeah, long form is top.

Long form, but with choices... linear long its a big nono for me.

 

[DrPerks]

Long if the story and art work is good

 

[CoolCatK]

O

Long form, but with choices... linear long its a big nono for me.

Oh yeah, no no no. Doing long form without choices sucks!

 

[greey12]

long story but with events explaining the lore instead of walls of text(skip)

 

[MMD enthusiast]

Generally long stories, I play porn games for the plot unironically so a short story doesn't have as much time to develop the world or characters to a degree that I enjoy. Short stories CAN be nice sometimes though, a nice short, sweet, and straight to the point story can work, and still get you engaged if done well.

 

[Dnj]

not to long or to short, because if is too long there risk of become boring or lost track of the original plot and if too short maybe lack of sense

 

[OoFeel]

Prefer long story if there's enough nsfw content

Can i choose medium?
Devs often get in a slump, it starts with the slower than usual updates, next step are the constant excuses why the update proces is being slow and it ends with getting dropped as a whole.
Often without any trace of the dev.
