For those of you who don't know anything about the Mother series, it's a series of quirky and fun RPG games that originated from Japan since the NES-era. They are quite very popular over there and here too. There are three games that have officially been made, but Mother 2 was the only American release (which was called Earthbound) and the protagonists of Mother 2 and 3 can be found in the "Super Smash Brothers" games as Ness and Lucas. Mother 3 never officially came out in America but the fanbase was strong enough to support its popularity and there has also been a fan-made translation that looks superior than what would have normally been the official translation--if there were one. The Mother games were directed by Shigesato Itoi. He claimed a few years ago that Mother 3 would be the last one in the series. During an interview, he stated that he would not mind if fans were to make a fourth game, and so a group of people decided to give it a shot. Now on to the main topic; Mother 4 is in production and has been for a few years now. The interesting fact about this game is that it's being made by Mother fans, and they try to keep it true to the primitive games by keeping similar aspects (especially the music). The new trailer was previewed a few weeks ago and so far, it does look very promising: If you haven't tried any of the Mother games, I suggest you start with Earthbound or Mother 3~

I still see the links of the torrents :/ http://fuwanovel.net/torrents/%5BFuwanovel%5D%20Sharin%20no%20Kuni%20Himawari%20no%20Shoujo

I recall a quote that translates to: "there's mosaics in front of your eyes but none in your heart (imagination)" It is said that those who play enough will gain the ability to see through mosaics.

EDIT: I'm currently working on a project since April 2015, and I might contribute to three more projects afterwards, therefore I'm not currently looking to compose for anything else for the time being, but feel free to contact me if you need a song or want to reserve my time for any project in the future~ I will bring this thread back to light when my hands are free again. I've been playing the piano for almost 7 years now, and I've been toying around with different composing tools and still looking for the better ones (I currently use FL Studio). To improve and to test my limits, I'm willing to compose for any project that requires a tune, preferably for either a game or a video~ This is a song I created within the game "Mabinogi". It is an MMORPG that I used to play for a few years that contains a composition feature, and I won a winter music contest that won me an illustration book; the contest was being held on the community forums of Nexon. The reward was sent by mail by the game's company. The contest's rule was to compose a song that had to be played in-game but I ended up not just composing the song, but made somewhat of a music video related to a mini-story that also includes in-game content: Hand-chimes (within the game) were used for the contest and it's the only instrument I made the song on for this video. This is another song I made for what was to be the first stage in a 8-bit style top down shooter. And for different variations, there's a non 8-bit version here and an HD version here. These are the only samples I have available for now. I will probably edit this post whenever I get more to share~

I fell into this trap, and i like it...

I'm already past the point of no return, my brethren. When I ascend to the rank of Wizard, I shall master the ethereal powers pertaining to the control of gravity. Said powers will be used for Eros. The flipping of skirts and the bouncing of breasts shall be my call. Let us all follow this lonely path, full of struggles and hardships.

I'm going to be a silly and suggest the retro group play a Disney game. Like one of the Magical Quest games, or the original Castle of Illusion.

Do you even Oney, bro?

My apologies. English is not my first. Even though once they release it. Sounds better now?

Hey Fuwa! I've been thinking a lot lately. Mainly on how I will be able to contribute to the community. This was hard because I'm not particularly good at the technical side of visual novels and I'm not a translator either. However, recently I've been making signatures for other users here and it turns out that I really like it. And So I thought why not make a "signature thread" for all the users here who would like signatures. All you have to do is let me know what you like by following the requirements below. 1.) Pm a link to your favorite picture 2.) If any text is desired, please pm the specific text with the picture. 3.) Do me a favor and post back your signature here so everyone can have a look at it 4.) If you by any chance cannot think of an image but would still like a signature, Pm and i'll try my best. 5.) Give Honest Feedback. I need to Know if there was something you did not like. Speak Ya mind! So at the end of the day we'll both be happy with the transaction. Here is a link of my work . Link to Za Album : Please take a moment to review the rules concerning Signatures. Thank you Signature and Avatar Guidelines No explicit nudity (genitalia and female nipples are in this category) No pornography (this includes implied sexual acts and bodily fluids) No gore (disembowelment, dismemberment, torture, etc.) No offensive content (profanity, hate speech, offensive symbolism, etc.) No seizure inducing GIFs (or GIFs that make people's eyes bleed in general) No signatures exceeding 400 Kbs in filesize

What was wrong with Harukoi otome? it was a very sweet, cute, absolutely adowable, wittle, vn. with characters that, I have cancer........

Check your game folder name. I think you used some weird character that the game couldn't read, hence this error.

Tsubaki's is by far the longest, so if you don't intend to play it they'll be fairly short. Play them before the true/Haru route though.

Yeah, changing locale is a must if you want to play VN.

Writing thoughts is a bit bothersome. I'll get to it, but for now you'll have to manage with just my notes (these were taken as I played):

congrats. you're the 2nd person ever that i've seen on the forums who actually liked yumiko's route. those H-scenes were totally awesome

Maybe I should check out Sesame Street again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhWUFXvaZjo Got to give them credit for not going for the obvious jokes until the end

The second you mentioned Key I figured out the second part ;( the amount of times I've fought over Key having bad graphics is to high. I know you said it was where Key started but is there any other reasons you recommend this specific Key title over other Key titles? I normally hear about Rewrite, Little Busters, and Clannad when I hear people talking about Key so this feels like an odd choice of recommendation. I've actually seen this title from JAST before but I hadn't played it. If Shiny Days is coming out in a few months would you actually recommend me waiting for it and then starting with that one? Or should I read School Days first? Thanks for such an in depth review I tend to avoid games with very dated art but after reading that review I think I could look past the art and give it a few hours of my time to see if it is worth the read. As for the Yu-no suggestions would it be worth waiting for the remake that is coming out this year or do people think it isn't going to be as good as the original?

...T-This secret PM club... Damn it. I need to find a comrade.

I would think it's more of a non-love route for the boys instead of full-blown BL. Like, getting to know each other more or smth.

Same issue as: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/936-hoshizora-no-memoria-issue/ Be sure you're using the right .exe. It's the one that has _en on it. Also make sure you're completely in Japanese (Japan) Locale, and not using Applocale or anything that tries to shortcut it. And yeah, there's a patch that might help as well. All of that can be found on the sidebar on http://staircasesubs.com/hoshizora-no-memoria/

There aren't any costumes, iirc. I have them all, and I'd only recommend on getting Additional Content 1 - 3 if you're a grinding maniac. If you just want the story or cute girls, don't bother. You won't need to exceed level 99 anyway. But if you want to go full fag (like me) and go to level 999, then be my guest. Download Additional Contents. <3 You can download Peashy and Plutia as well. Plutia's nice. You would trade Nep for that region-locking girl? Why I'd never... I thought you were a comrade!

Took a little over 3 hours, I had a ton of bad luck and ended up losing on purpose to help someone else get closer to the SR first. time to continue grinding JP

Hey there! I must say, the amount of Filipinos showing up are increasing. Enjoy the forums! I would like to ask though... Do you need assistance for Plan C?

Because life would be boring if we all agreed on who was best girl. Neptune is great and all, but Blanc is better

Does that make Steve Carell the grand sorcerer? My hero when I was 18.

Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! You should start your own club, you could call it the Yuri-Yuri Hunters! (dunno if you've read enough of Little Busters to get that reference) Have a moe:

You know, there's some people like Tom who finds a girlfriend and says sayonara to these forums. If you guys would stop bolting the minute you get your sticks wet, we wouldn't have such drastic numbers.

Severe addiction to Kiseki right now because I just reached the part in The 3rd where this song plays! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgb3ishuK0o The song title even speaks for itself here!!! I will devote my soul to this series alongside Atelier. (❀◦‿◦)

Confession: I did my first live gaming stream tonight.. and actually had fun with the interaction . Though it might have been boring for people that watched me, since I can be really quiet, lol. I played a short horror game~

It requires the sacrifice of 12 baby hamsters. I think the main reason it hasn't been created is because the design team is focused on the new layout rather than paying attention to the old one which will end up being discarded. But don't take my word for it.

Just let them ask where the torrents are and let the mods tell them the torrents are gone.

Sorry, the special effects are too much for me.

Would you sell your soul to be able to read it in English right now? Cause I know a guy who knows a guy...

The only person in possession of the original, uncensored image would be the artist(s). If they even drew that far in the first place. Most artists won't actually draw further than sketch-phase on censored bodyparts, just to save time.

Did I miss it, or was this not posted yet? https://youtu.be/N-nCErVn15I I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.

Not really related, but still. MangaGamer will release Higurashi Hou for the West, which means the release of EVERY Higurashi arc (including Rei) on Steam with new sprites. More info: link Onikakushi is now slated for release this May 15th.

No matter, Chifuyu-chan. We'll continue to support you and give you lolis. <3 Just ask~

Dracu-Riot is indeed a good VN. It is something to look forward to, though they did nerf vampirism somewhat (endemic to almost all vampire-VNs, with the exceptions of Draculius and Vermilion). Bradyon Veda would never get a translation... it equals Dies Irae in terms of linguistic complexity during combat scenes, and the world-building is complex enough that keeping it straight in your head will make you tired in and of itself. Hello, Lady's hardest points are its combat scenes and Narita's tendency toward making speeches. Ruitomo and its FD are excellent games, and they are easier than Hello, Lady (marginally and most of the time). '&' is the easiest of all of those, the closest to a moege that Akatsuki Works has ever made.
