I have read a million stories like this and I eagerly anticipate the next million.

Considering magic in the Dragon Maid universe is of the "it can do fucking anything" variety, I'm sure Kanna could just age herself up when that becomes a problem.

Pretentious battle harem

More like pretentious People Talking On Benches Simulator, really.

Tell me one couple that doesn't have one character getting humiliated or embarrassed.

Tell me one couple in the entirety of yuri that doesn't have one character getting embarrassed.

I wrote one KSotR fanfic back in the day and then immediately lost my motivation to do any more. Maybe I should go back and finish that Ano/Yuna and Ano/Nena fic I was working on...

At some point this series went from standard Mochi affair to It's Always Sunny in Kagaya Inn.

NEVER GIVE UP!!

(Seriously, though, just doing something with the ideas floating around in your head is a lot more than a lot of people can claim. Don't sweat the stuff like how many people are gonna read it or whatever; as long as you don't shoot for the moon, you'll be the surprised by the attention you get.

Or you can just do what I do and write fanfiction for validation.)

As I've experienced it, there are three ways to get all the necessary components to make a VN.

1) Possess all the requisite skills yourself. At the bare minimum, you'll need to know how to write, draw, and program. You don't need to know how to compose, being that there's a ton of freeware music on the internet, but it's a plus. Definitely the hardest route to take, but also by far the cheapest.

2) Know people willing to do work for free. This one is going to require you to have some good friends with a genuine investment in your idea; you're very unlikely to find random, skilled people willing to do work for free. Myself, for example, I have a friend working on my game with me who is both my co-writer and the game's main programmer. She's totally down to work on the game for free since it's a shared idea between the two of us, but we've commissioned all other aspects from various sources.

3) Commission the pieces of your game (artwork, UI design, music, programming) from outside sources. Costly, definitely, but if you have confidence in the people you hire, this is the most straight-forward path to making a quality product. People are infinitely less likely to disappear at random or phone in poorly-made work if there's money on the line.

Of course, there's other factors to consider; whether your game will be free or paid for, whether or not you use a crowd-funding service, additional features for the game such as voice acting, so on and so forth. I can't offer much advice in that regard at the current moment, but it's something to keep in mind.

Kindred Spirits, really really good game. Probably the biggest inspiration for the VN I'm working on right now. (I should probably make the MC less of a Yuna copycat, though...)

Boy, I love this Mochi person, but I'd wish they'd stop doing stuff about lesbians all the time!

Wait, there are lesbians? I thought they were all just really good friends.

I know first-hand how hard it is living with autism. It's like being born on a completely different planet than everybody else. Kudos to this artist for finding positivity in that situation and trying to help other people understand.

No idea, sorry. But I certainly like the idea.
Would that somebody share some details of the story...? … maybe? (o^-^o) Or is said somebody not sure yet? ;)

I realized soon after I posted that that not actually sharing any details of what I'm working on would make giving ideas difficult.

It's intended to be a parody of harem games. Many harem and otome games have a best friend character who you might love with all of your heart, but doesn't have a route due to being of the same sex as the main character. (The idea was also inspired by my frustrations with obligatory gay characters in harems/otomes never scoring, like the female love interest in Kiss Him Not Me.)

The main character of the game is the protagonist of an otome game; she's decently average and pursued by many different guys, each of whom correspond to a stereotypical otome guy. Her problem is that she's gay, and in love with her female best friend, but the universe wants her to be an otome protagonist. Her confessions are never heard, and she's constantly put into situations intended to get her closer to the guys. The game chronicles the course of a year as she tries (and often fails) to get her happy ending.

Sorta like this.

Let's say that, theoretically, somebody in this very thread wanted to do a Kickstarter for a yuri visual novel. What would you expect/want out of stretch goals and pledge tiers?

This person has a nice artstyle. It kinda reminds me of Homura Subaru.

I like the Secret Recipe because I spend much of my time reading yuri thinking "just kiss already", but that happens at the very beginning of the first chapter.

The beetles are kabutomushi. Males of the species are very recognizable. Neither of those are male.

KA-KABUTOMUSHI DATTO!? That's a whopping 2/7ths (4/14ths to be accurate) of the phrases needed to obtain 'Heaven'!

Speaking of which, I wonder if having 3 moles under the left eye is as good as having 3 moles on the right earlobe when it comes to having a good fortune able to escape the police with. vampire tag when?

I dunno, Mishio, I think forcibly making out with girls you think are cute was probably a bigger issue than you liking girls.

(Not that this isn't cute, mind.)

Too... ordinary. I saw stories like this so many times that it seems so boring now.
"I will graduate and move to another city but our love blah blah blah..."

The scenario you found ordinary is pretty rare in yuri. Actually, it downright hardly ever happens. This is the only story so far with the kouhai-senpai graduating narrative that does not end in "she'll grow out of this 'phase'" or "this is a naive memory of youth I won't forget." (Some yuri stories just love spiralling into that angst...)
