They could but there's a lot of details that need be looked at. What to cut out cause its not gonna be pages filled with long words now but dialogues and through interactions and events in a possible game that makes the reader slowly pick up the pieces of what the story is about. Some stories can make good games but there are times when they also might not.I'm not a developer or anything but I've often wondered Would any authors here ever be interested in turning their novels into games or writing for games maybe just point and click or visual novel the simpler stuff

I mean... If you are going to use RPG Maker as your example, you can just use stock artwork for basically everything and it can work out fine? I don't see why the art would be a problem at that point.These days, you don't even need to be a developer. RPG Maker and VN Maker make the process pretty straight forward with little to no programming knowledge. Unless you plan to do something unique that can't be solved with plugins.
The real bottleneck for games is they need a ton of art.
I think another bottleneck for RPGs would be the actual workload. Balancing everything from bosses to regular encounters is a nightmare, and setting off all those flags and such would take hours on end. That's not even getting to designing maps, towns, etc. that would take even more time.These days, you don't even need to be a developer.

I'm not going for anything inparticular I've just read alot of stories on here that I think could work really well as games if not the stories themselves at least the world's they take place inI started exploring the game idea as well, it's probably not the sort of game you're going for but might interest you all the same: https://forum.scribblehub.com/threa...-harem-fic-into-a-vn-or-dating-sim-game.4962/
