Abstract
In this paper, we research four major aspects of game development, namely the core elements of game design, narrative game design, game user interface customization, and briefly touch on indie game development. To demonstrate these four important aspects of game development, we create a demo visual novel game in the game engine Ren'Py. Our goal is to apply these principles in creating an iconic game for players who play visual novel games for entertainment. We focus on creating a game that is not only enjoyable, but marketable. The complete game, Double the Deception, incorporates stunning graphics and storytelling to captivate players with a game that is truly iconic.
