    I was contemplating using placeholder assets to begin with, but I wasn't sure if it was acceptable to present on the forums using placeholder stuff. I assume that means it is OK. Yeah, I understand that having a working display would be good. Thanks.

    You should only think about recruiting someone once you have something to show yourself. A proof of concept game engine, for example. Use placeholder graphics for now - it doesn't have to be perfect first time around. If you can show you know what you're doing and how to make this game of yours, you're that much more likely to entice other people to help out, people of higher quality who will stick around.

    Oh also another thing, if you don't mind. Where am I able to recruit people? I only need one other person, so I'm not sure where to go or whatever. If you could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

    Right. It appears that I was simply mistaken in the actual purpose of the thread. Thanks for clarifying. I'll post again when I've done some work.

    Well, given a visual novel is all about its story, a plot outline would be appropriate. Figure out some more details about your project, flesh it out, and then make a thread about it. Use your imagination, and think about what you would want to see in such a thread. Remember that the thread is NOT for recruiting people to your cause; the thread is to show off your game and describe it. Recruitment may happen, but it doesn't count towards the worthiness of the thread.

    Ah, forgive me. I have read the rules and I understand how much is supposed to be in a thread, but for an idea thread some of the things can't apply... so I'm not sure. Can you give me a rough outline of what is needed in simply an "idea" thread? Thanks.

    Your thread was not approved. Literally the only thing it said about your game was that it would be a "visual novel, potentially dating sim style game based off of League of Legends and its characters and lore", which is not enough information.

    Hey, Maruno. I don't mean to bother you or anything, but I believe I submitted a thread about 3 days ago maybe and I haven't heard anything back. Well aware that the process can take multiple days, so I just wondered if I've not allowed ample time or it's been disapproved and I was not informed. Either way, thanks.
