I would drive various VN developers crazy with whispers about them localizing games so they can get translated.

Are you tired of the same boring old idol shows? Do you want more masterpieces like the critically acclaimed Issho ni Training: Training with Hinako? (Which also went on to produce this masterpiece) Well fear not, all our prayers have been answered with the upcoming fall anime smash hit Anitore! EX, an idol anime about physical activities! The anime follows five young women who are aiming to become idols as they do different exercise routines such as push-ups, situps, dance, yoga, stretching, Tai Chi, and more. It's basically like combining everything that's perfect in the anime world into one series, what could possibly go wrong? Thank you Japan, we really, really needed this in our lives! Premieres October 12th, prepare your bodies and get ready to lose some weight.

Greetings from Novel Tea Games! We've been working hard on our Visual Novel and we're very close to finishing our demo. I assure you that you won't be disappointed! While we wish to be as transparent as possible and share as much as we can, we also believe in saving some of the content for a surprise when the demo launches so please forgive me if at any point I seem a little vague about certain story details. View our trailer! Now on Steam Greenlight! What's it about!? Runeous is a Fantasy Adventure with 'Steampunk' elements. The story follows a small group of heroes in a world ravished by the wars of its past. Runestones possessing magical qualities are what fuel the industry, their secrets long ago lost. Humans research them to unlock their hidden potential. Overpopulation in cities built for far fewer inhabitants. Homes built atop homes with giant walkways connecting the various levels together. While there is a whole ton of lore that's been written up for the world, we're waiting until the Demo before releasing it as we wish to make it as presentable as possible for you! (I may be willing to give a sneak peek to individuals who can offer genuine feedback and suggestions) What do we have thus far? Well, we're almost done with the demo! There are just a few elements left to add. - In the interests of transparency, we have had a lot of trouble with music. This is an issue that has been addressed with the addition of a new team member! - 90% of artwork is done and that includes the majority of the 'main' assets. All we have left to do is a few more CGs, NPCs and promotional art! As for the writing we're miles ahead! From lore and main plot points to full episodes written! Meet our team! While I would absolutely love to wait until our staff 'Chibi' images are ready, unfortunately we've just not had enough spare time to get them done with the development going on, therefore I'm just going to have to throw some unattractive links at you! Earl Grey - That's me! I'm the project manager, Community manager and Marketing. I wrote the initial story line and lore, however our writer has taken over writing the Episodes! Chamomile - She's our Lead Character Artist! She also works a lot on promotional items and tidbits! Chai - She's our Lead Background Artist. She also collaborates with Chamo on CGs! Jasneymon - Or 'Jas' for short. She's our 'Support' Artist. Working on things like Objects, items or Chibis for the website. Vanilla - She's our Web Designer! You probably can't tell right now, but a lot of work is going on behind the scenes which will improve the site a bunch Kagoshima - He's another amazing artist, however he's working on something 'Top Secret' right now so unfortunately we can't show you any of his content right now Peppermint - Our latest addition. Peppermint is working on Music! Unfortunately I don't have a link to share with you at the moment. So there we have it. That's our small, yet amazingly wonderful team! ^^ If you would like to find out more about our project, please check out our Website You can now also support us on Patreon! We post monthly Blogs!

We've also made some progress on music. While we're not ready to share it with the public just yet, we do have a small 'sample' of the music quality you might expect: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bylf1W-RKQ-mZmxGcDRMUUp4TW8/view 05 Sept 2015 Update: Narrator Portraits Since even the NPCs are featured in our VN, it's only fair that our wonderful Narrators be see too.

Hi there! So I've been lurking around the forums for a few days but not had much activity. I figured it was about time I introduced myself! ^^ My alias is Earl for the purpose of my VN group (We have 'Tea' names!) We're currently working on a Visual Novel with the name 'Runeous' Click the image to read our forum post in the 'Original VNs' board. I personally am the project manager of the group. I also run Marketing, 'coding' and all kinds of odd jobs. If you ever have questions about developing a VN, need marketing tips/advice or anything else, just give me a poke and I'll try my best to help you out! :3 I'd love to list my favorite VNs but I find it difficult as the assets of each VN can outdo others. For instance the music in VN 1 is better than that of VN 2. Yet VN 2's story and art are better than VN 1... I know right? Confusing! However I can suggest some Indie titles that I've been supporting recently: Invisible Apartment - Wounded by Words - An Octave Higher Well, I hope I didn't bore you and I look forward to meeting you all! :3

After reading the announcement & literally crying my eyes out, i think i´m now somewhat ready to face the harsh reality. They offered us some news regarding the upcoming YU-NO remake, set a site up, listed the voice cast (which isnt bad) &........*buhhuuuu went with the glorious idea of turning Yu-No into an eushully elf......*sob http://gematsu.com/2015/07/yu-no-remake-official-website-launched http://yu-no.jp/ So what are your thoughts & (first) impressions on what awaits us?

OP updated for release kept some of it until a bit more information is given to make it less relevant. I also mentioned sacrament sheep and atom grrrl which I failed to mention that are 18+ yuri games picked up by sekai project and denpasoft.

I've just started playing Freedom Planet. Boy oh boy is that game a nostalgia trip!

This kind of thing is very common in visual novels. It's just how most branching ones are designed. The larger plot points are still the same but the smaller details differ heavily, such as the individual character actions. These don't necessarily have to happen due to the player's choices. VNs don't try to be simulation games, or adventure games where you affect the plot, but basically multiple stories where your choices dictate which story you read. So it doesn't need to be consistent in this regard. Consider the different routes to be completely different timelines. If it makes you feel better, they DO actually construct plot points that tie the routes together and allows you to make sense out of some of the differences, which most VNs don't even bother attempting to do. This happens during the true route.

Viewing parties will be available in TeamSpeak with suikashoujo, The Major, Nosebleed, and I. More details will be posted before the date of the show, so please mark your calendars and prepare to watch me (but probably not the others) do all of the exercises via live stream webcam.

Long ago when your SAO and high school of the dead were thankfully not made, Lawrence a travelling merchant meets a hot sexy naked wolf girl who doesn’t have a nipples for some reason. *clears throat* And due to her request Lawrence decides to take her to Disneyland I mean her hometown. Be prepared for all of the economical talk where you rewatch a scene five times and you still don’t understand. You may act like you understand like most people or you could be honest and say your confused…just like me. But don’t worry this isn’t an educational anime because there are tons fun activities such as Talking Teasing Beating the shit out of milleon trading guild’s men I don’t know about you but this is way more exciting than the latest episodes of naruto shippuden. Watch Holo and Lawrence go through trials and errors as they trick people to gain money, getting themselves in trouble and building a hot steaming relationship. Dude what are you waiting for she said she wanted to mate with you. Just go do it, it’s a chance of a lifetime. What are you doing, NO NO. Don’t you dare run away I’ve been waiting this for 10 episodes. What you gay? Go back, just, just, AHHHh. You will be bored when you start this anime but you won’t be able to live without it once you set foot. Ahh that was a nice way to end the season. Now onto season 3. Wait WHAT? There’s no season three?!, That’s bullshit, what about the romance, what about the fanfictions. NO I just can’t take it. I WANT MY SEASON THREE RIGHT NOOOOOW. GIVE IT TO MEEE GIVE ITT TOO MEEE. Mom: Calm down it’s just a show. NO YOU don’t understand MAAA. Holo is love Holo is life. I even bought this Holo pillow from amazon. Mom: So that’s where my money went. I’ll teach you what happens when you steal. Ouch ouch “Starring” *sniff* Lawrence vi Britania Your first *sniff* prideful furry erection Ookami to Cliffhanger I’m sorry *sniff* It’s just that I really wanted that happy ending. Guess I’ll read the light novels now.

Eternal free movies...... And gaming

What would i give for official Eushully Translations. Sadly no one wants my money.

I'd like you to continue. Your reviews don't spoil and are clear to the point what the vn's are about. Who might enjoy them, what the good about the vn is, and the bad stuff. Always nice to read them. I think you know how to pace yourself. Steer away more from lower quality stuff when you don't feel like it. Write mini reviews. Drop mediocre vn's midway. etc. I honestly don't want you to go whacking yourself on the head by reading stuff you hate. So in the end, don't over do it.

Here's my review of Free Friends aka FuriFure: http://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2015/08/games-for-adults-free-friends.html

both are completely machine tled, only the interface patches are done by their members manually.

It's actually the reverse of what you're imagining; Miyako's after story is the only one without H-scenes.

i think the madoukoukaku TL also using machine TL+human :x

i played madoukoukaku and its really bad

*Ahem* I do hereby announce, Shikomizue's Strange Stories, reopened! The Strange Sister Once upon a time, there was a man named Tiago F. Varela. The day started like any other Saturday, Tiago was on his PC surfing the internet, browsing Fuwanovel and watching romance anime. When all of a sudden, his sister of all people walked in and said. “Onii-chan, do you want to do something today?” “What did you have in mind?” he asked. “Maybe we could go out for some ice cream?” “Sounds lovely” And so they went out to get ice cream, his sister asked for chocolate while Tiago himself wanted strawberry, Tiago payed for the delectable treats like a gentleman. “Can we go somewhere else Onii-chan?” “Sure why not, how about we go to the book sto-” But he couldn't finish because he slipped on a banana peel, and considering they were walking down a hill... he slid into a manhole. “Onii-chan?! Are you okay?!” “Peachy” Now smelling like sewage, Tiago noticed there wasn't a ladder to get out. Looking closely, it seems the rungs had been pulled out for some reason. “It seems there isn't a ladder here. I'll meet you at the next manhole okay?” “Alright, I'll meet you there. Be careful Onii-chan.” As Tiago walked down the pathway, he noticed another manhole entrance, he climbed up and pushed but it wouldn't budge, not even a little bit. He then noticed what looked like cement, and it looked fairly recent. Disappointed, he continued walking, searching for another exit. Unfortunately, all of them were sealed. Thinking back, everything up to this point seemed... planned. But who would want to do this? He had done no wrong, committed no crime. Pushing his glasses back up to the bridge of his nose, he started thinking like his favorite Ace Attorney character: Edgeworth. “There are three things so far that indicate this was intentional.” 1. The obvious cement on all of the manholes. 2. There was one open manhole even though all the others are sealed. 3. The banana peel by itself you could pass as coincidence, but considering the other two things, that's not likely. Anyone could have figured this out, he just wanted to make himself feel smart. “It's clear that someone wants me gone but who? Who would have a motive? I haven't done anything to my family to deserve this. Maybe someone on Fuwanovel who took me too seriously?” Knowing that standing around thinking all day wouldn't get him out of the sewers, he continued on his journey for an exit. He found another manhole and decided it was worth a shot. He climbed up to it, pushed, and luckily, it seemed the culprit forgot to seal this one. As soon as he made it out, he noticed a clown with a flower on his head walking up to him. “Hey there! You look like prime clown material!” he said. “I what?” “I said you look like clown material! Come with me!” and the clown dragged Tiago off to a big tent. “Hey guys! I found another performer for us!” As the clown said this, many looked in his direction. Tiago took a good look at all of them. A girl with golden hair and... sparkles? There were a lot of animals around her, so he thought she must be an animal tamer. A very thin man with a puppet... that was hitting him. A ventriloquist perhaps? There also seemed to be a magician with pink hair. Tiago thought he recognized this man from somewhere. What was his name...? Bob? John? Billy? No, no magician would have a name like those, right? Said magician responded to the clown. “Fabulous! We could always use some more help around here.” Tiago protested to this however. “Your friend here is mistaken, I'm no performer, much less a clown.” “Oh, well that's too bad. I was hoping we could get some help with our performance. Anyway, sorry to bother you.” “It's fine, I'll be on my way now.” and so he left the tent. After getting out of the den of weirdos, Tiago went to many places looking for his sister. I'm not going to mention any of them because I've run out of ideas at this point. But you can be sure each place had some hilarious happenings. After a long day of looking around he started going back home, it's the only place she could be. When he walked in, he heard a voice, it was his sister's voice! Tiago opened the door where it came from and found... Flutterz, who said: Wanna have a tea party? The End I want some feedback from you guys. Did I do better than my previous stories? Or do I still need work? If I do, please tell me in what area so I can improve. Oh, and for the next story, give me a prompt to help me out.

I'd say approximately 2 hours.

Pretty good, well aside from having the worst heroine to ever appear in a VN. *cough*Shiina*cough* Not a strong nakige if you've read anything else by Key. Gonna read Never 7, Ever 17, and Remember11 next. Edit: By the way, can any of ya'all fine people upload soundserver.dll for Never7 if you got it? Fuwanovel download link to it is broken. use this patch http://www.mediafire.com/download/obycu8ymmhb4xxw/Install_N7_En.exe

I heard about this, though I had previously pre-ordered it from Kinguin so even if I was able to get more copies for cheap i'd just end up giving them away or using them as trade bait for other games

personally i´d like you to continue, cause when i read them ever so often then i get the feels you´re quite objective when reviewing, which isnt sth you see so often done by others, therefore go for it, as it has inspired me reading stuff, i wouldnt have done otherwise.

I hope you continue, tbh. I don't know Japanese so I've always kept track of your reviews as a rough gauge to wether or not I would be interested in a title being localized. Though I never take anyone's opinion as fact until I've had a chance to read something for myself, I find your praises and complaints are often in sync with what I look for - and at the very least that nudges my interest to a extent. But, what really matters if you want to keep doing it, all in all.

Seems there are quite a few more of these than I initially thought just mainly lacking translations most have translations beginning in chinese, russian, or spanish or trials in english. Other wise they are mainly Japanese until more females attempt to translate them. Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari Sakuya (15+ translation started) ljiwaru My Master, PersonA - Opera za no kaijin, (this one supposedly has a fan-translation in the works into english) Koezaru wa Akai Hana, Under the Moon, Akazukin to Mayoi no Mori, Sanzen Sekai Yuugi, Riddle Garden, Tsuki no Hikari, Taiyou no Kage, Step - futari no kankei wa ippo zutsu , Trick or Alice, Royals - itoshi no ouji -sama, Gin no Kanmuri Ao no Namida, Queen of Darkness, Yume wo Mou Ichido, Jooubachi no Oubou, Butlers, Tsubasa no Oka no Hime Cancel a Format and there's about 4 pages of titles in total if you go to the link here.

I just read this godforsaken line. Is this a bad omen?

Grisaia no Kajitsu unrated is now available to buy on denpasoft.

Well, the project is progressing, although most likely my translations are the sort of novice hackwork you'd expect from a guy who passed JLPT3 some years ago, but there you go. Also managed to convert the first of what I believe judging from the art assets to be the first of several mini games. I believe there's even a strategic card game somewhere in here, and we'll see how that works when I get that far. Here's a screenshot of the mini-game. Essentially you roll 3d6, your opponent declares whether his roll will be higher than yours. If he's right he wins, if he's wrong you win. I noticed that the code for this was rather convoluted the way it might have been written in an old BASIC dialect (sans the line numbers), but it seems to be a language of roughly the same level of power. I imagine many other old game engines are like that.

There's no promises that we'll make it to A-5, we pretty much stop the moment Dowolf has had enough of the project.

I honestly don't see the problem. Probably the only thing that will take a hit will be the h-scenes - and while I haven't read the VN yet, it doesn't sound like something that would fall apart when you omit the sex (they aren't necessarily going to remove it from there). I also usually prefer the remake art over the old one (Higurashi, Umineko, Tsukihime), and this is no exception, so I am looking forward to this.

Netorare.

Which means I'm almost there...

Welcome, welcome, welcome TheIceCreamMan-san to our lair. Enjoy your time and relax here. Feel free to ask/discuss/share anything with us. I'm rather hungry now, can I get your ice cream?

I like the new YU-NO look, but Kana looks kinda weird. I liked the original visuals very much so I have mixed feelings about this, but I'll probably get it anyway.

I'm not saying it's not something people are worrying about, I'm saying it's not worth worrying about. Being afraid to expand while worrying about the "SJW" specter is pure idiocy. Even if people start raising a big fuss over your VN (they probably won't), that's a good thing. See: Hatred, and how much it profited off the backlash.

It pretty much all comes down to the price. If Grisaia was $10 it would probably be outselling Gaokao. Gaokao offers an actual non-ecchi-filled dating sim/VN hybrid of substantial length at a super cheap price, so in a way it was bound to do well. But the translation is utter garbage, possibly machine translated. Looking at Gaokao's steamspy numbers and considering where Grisaia was when SP requested for their games to not be tracked, I'm pretty sure Grisaia is at least pulling in more money. And they'll probably make a ton more once it goes on its first serious (50%+) discount. The real moral of the Gaokao thing is that your average customer doesn't actually give a shit about translation quality. As long as the text is legible and the girls are cute, they'll buy anything. You know, I actually sort of have a soft spot in my heart for Gaokao, it at least provides more and better content than the Sakura games, even if the English writing is beyond horrible. And the devs seem to want to retranslate it with the money they're earning, so there's that. At first I was kind of incredulous that it was doing so well, but I don't mind it so much anymore.
