The '''director''' of a visual novel acts as the funnel that guides all of the different creative aspects of a team’s efforts into the final product as a cohesive whole and also manages the project’s time investment. Usually, they are considered the project’s lead dev because the nature of this task obliges them to have the final word on whether or not something adds to the whole of the project and/or might add too much to development time.

Because of the heavy reliance on text and code in VN development to control direction, a VN director is often part of the writing team and/or coding team. At the very least, they are the ones interpreting any points of [[Direction|direction]] not covered by the script writers or altering direction notations in the script that don’t come across as intended on-screen. If they are not writers themselves, they should have a feel for stage/film direction and understand how to draw a reader’s attention correctly.
