I suddenly have the desire of tryin to make a visual novel game. I already roughly outlined the whole story concept.
Wanna ask what kinda programing language would be a good one for this situation?

C++ or Java are the quickest to pick up, and most userfriendly. write methods for each story piece and a nice long if, else if, and else chain.

Wtf? C++ and Java take years to learn. C++ might actually be worth the time assuming you're going to be doing something that requires the speed, but Java is completely useless.

nscripter or onscripter
Google it. Reinventing the wheel is idiotic.

Visual Basic, since Visual novels are most about displaying pictures and playing sounds.
Another language that would be easy to use would be BlitzBasic,
try to find the free version of BlitzBasic+ (or whatever it's called)

Use one of the 4GL languages (python, perl, etc.). No need for performance and scripting languages are much less strict about things. If doing Python, check these out as well: http://www.bishoujo.us/renpy/ http://www.pygame.org/
