Heya Bowser - any tips for planning out and establishing a visual novel idea? As in, laying the foundation work to start working and writing from? (I'd like to commit to giving it a shot but I'm not sure where to start from)
Best way I can recommend getting started is to begin the tasks that you're most inspired to tackle first. There isn't a 100% "correct" approach to building your VN's foundation, it's all about what makes you happy and keeps you motivated to work on the project.
If you have ideas for characters, start making some character sheets for them! List out all the basic stuff like species, name, age, body type, etc. Then you can work on drawing them or commission someone to draw them.
If you have an idea for the story, maybe start with an outline. Or, you can just go ahead and start writing up a first draft if you're more inspired to do that.
