Combining DS with literature.

I saw that that this was very old post and the OP has even deleted their account. Well, either way

This is the exact project I have but instead of writing text to an already made piece, I will create my own music.

I just don't know the exact format I should deliver the text in with the music.

Is the text also you own work? Either way you could probably just link to it in the album description on Bandcamp, or if it's your own work and not too long you could just put it directly in the description, I've seen artists do that.

This made me think though, it would be cool to do something like a dungeon synth visual novel. Like you could use Ren'Py as the game engine and Midjourney for art, and so it would be a "kinetic novel," just clicking through the story while the album/soundtrack plays. You could make it just like a slideshow with background images, not even needing to show any characters necessarily. So the majority of the creative effort could just be the music and the story. It wouldn't necessarily require too much extra effort to code it up and generate some AI art, as long as you resist the temptation to give the player choices and consequences, which I don't know if I could do. I've actually had this idea before and tried to do it some years ago, but I got too ambitious and overwhelmed with possibilities so it fizzled out before I had anything to show for it.
