Andy Peng (also known as andehP) is enjoying writing and reading, especially visual novels. Visual novels have been a big part of his life. He’s been reading them since 2006 actually! Because of his love for them, he made one for his school project and it was quite a success. He enjoys writing and reading, especially visual novels. In 2009-ish, he had a project for literature class. He was running out of ideas, so he just made some kind of visual novel. It wasn’t a big thing back then, so everyone was impressed about the idea of visual novel (even tho it’s not news outside his country.) Since it was a big hit, he decided to write more. He used KiriKiri engine back then, but there was no English translation of the engine at the time. Because of that, he stopped writing VNs. Fast forward to 2017, he started replaying the old, dead VNs he’d played in the past like *cough cough*, Morenatsu, as well as discovering new ones like EA, Lagoon Lounge, etc. He played them, and they were great. But that wasn’t enough; “some of the routes aren’t to my liking…”, “I’m still salty that they didn’t finish Morenatsu”, he told himself. Stuff happened; he didn’t know why he was browsing ‘visual novel engine’ on the internet. He just asked himself that time “what if I write my own visual novel? I had a lot of interesting events in my high school life; my life is a comedy as a whole; there are a lot of drama between me, my family and friends, I’ve gone through a lot, but nobody ever heard of my story.” He’s a shy person–he doesn’t talk much, he enjoys spending time alone, hence he couldn’t share his story in any way. That’s why he decided to create a visual novel called “After Class” to share his story: some of the events are from his own experiences. The characters personalities are based on his, too: the main character shares the same clumsiness with him; Mark is as mischievous as him in real life when he’s around his closest friends; Anders is quiet and keeps everything to himself, so he is; Lars is grumpy, which is a big mood; Parker is caring; and Gil is a perv, but that might be his insecurities.
