    Hey there o:

    Hi i'm Ollie, Just wanted to introduce myself to the forums! :3 I've been playing visual novels for a couple of years now, and although I cant remember the first visual novel I read, I do remember one of them being Grisaia. I'll play anything that has an interesting story and cute girls. c: I try to buy my visual novels even if I have to import them, its just that I don't like the idea of stealing someone else's works. ;_; I've always have a massive passion for music and always had an interest in writing music for video games. I usually write electronic/contemporary music or anything that I feel like doing. Genres isn't really something I necessarily pay attention to. If it sounds good, its good! Anyway I hope to see you guys around and all that fun stuff!

  3. Another Saturday, another update. This week was full of needless things for me. Travels, schoolwork, visiting relatives, ugh. But enough of that, I'm still quite content with the amount of progress I got, even if it is about the same amount as last week. I really do hope to get more done in the following weeks. Update here: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Week 5: 204,5 kB/710 kB (28,8%) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Until next week - Arcadeotic

  4. I want to see an English team work on something completely new from popular companies (i.e. = Irotoridori, not HNM). Moege drives the VN market in Japan as of the past 4-5 years, and Princess E. is a step in the right direction, but in all honesty is the only high quality, length driven moege that has ever been released from all 3 major localization companies since they started. Even if you don't like the genre, seeing games from AAA companies in the VN industry that already had fan translation associated with them bothers me. People always say how the English teams get rights to certain AAA companies games (i.e. = Favorite, Front Wing), but do you ever see them translating something new when that happens? Nope.

    Fuwanovel Confessions

    Confession: I feel incredibly happy and proud today. I went with my circle of close friends from my school to see Deadpool after school today. The thing is, this year I met this antisocial dude who was in my class. I introduced him to my circle of friends, and he recently started to hang out with us (before that it was usually the two of us or me with my circle of friends without him during our free time). He says that for years, he's been just hanging out by himself. He's this ultra overweight gamer. Today, as we were having a meal after the movie, this friend just goes and says "You know what, let's do this a monthly thing!". I felt proud and happy because 1) It was one of the few moments in the last few days that I felt like I wasn't wasting my time and 2) I'd helped someone become more social.

  9. Wow, that stellar lineup makes me want to pass out on the spot from boredom. Hoshizora is a decent title, but a 18+ release will probably be another year (if at all) after the all-ages release. I'm not even going to comment on Wing Cloud's newest game, it would be like commenting on the tide coming back in. KaraKara certainly has cute artwork, but I highly doubt anything else will come from it. Not to mention that the fact that it is on Indiego is pretty sketchy. I'm completely done with Sekai Project as a company that I look forward to purchasing products from. They are now on the same shit shelf with EA, meaning I only pay attention to them so I can be entertained by how shit-blistering bad they are at handling things.

  10. I just don't get why the hell Sekai Project wouldn't aim for already translated titles. It's more cost efficient, faster and goes nicely with their motto of spreading VN's around. Sure, most VN fans may have already played such fan translations, but that's why Sekai Project always goes for steam. In my opinion, they'd be bonkers if they didn't go for fan translated titles when they have the chance.

  11. Yes, because Sekai project would totaly loose money from pirating when all their projects are completely funded by kickstarters. I would also like to point out that I'm pretty sure that every single one of Sekai Project's titles, regardless of rating, has been pirated.

  12. Well this is some horrible news. Hurray for Sekai and its bullsh*t all ages crap. I thought I would be getting to read a VN without machine translations soon and now that is out the door. We all know only the all age version will be available in October. The 18+ version if it comes out at all will be released 6 months later at least. Really guys. You couldn't try to pair up with a good localization company like MangaGamer. Sorry for sounding like a self entitled ahole, but this news has definitely angered me a bit. My anger will pass with some time though.

  13. So I've been playing Kindred Spirits for a good while today and I can say it's really good. It strikes a really good balance between being entertaining and... not serious per say, but tackling the more sensitive topics tactfully. The romantic progression is feels really natural and heartfelt; it's both little awkward and really endearing, and portrayed in a down-to-earth way that you don't see very often in visual novels. Some scenes made me actually flashback to my youth, my first love, even though I certainly didn't attend a all-girls school nor had a same sex crush, but the same natural and awkward feelings can be sensed. The characters, which I think there are 16, are all nicely fleshed out and distinctive too. I'm especially very happy with the effort that went into the localization, as each of the characters stands out from each other with unique speech quirks, some more notable than others, but still. The diverse cast also brings a wide perspective into different types relationships and problems and I had blast following all the different pairings and groups. Also extra points for Yuna (the main character) for being a Cooking Goddess. I probably enjoy cooking references and descriptions more than I should, but that girl is more amazing cook than Emiya Shirou. So yeah, if you happen to like cooking, there's lots of nice things for you in Kindred Spirits. I actually want to recommend Kindred Spirits to pretty much everyone. It's Yuri, but there's much to love even if you don't especially like yuri. It's school romance, but done in rather different way, so it fits even for people that don't like moege or stuff like that. Kindred Spirits is great, go buy it!

Then we get dissed and told "Please dont bother us with the 18+ stuff, Denpasoft handles that" nonsense or they make us wait for the promised goods that we pledged for or we have to constantly remind them they are behind or haven't done shit on time.

  30. SP has nothing to do with Littlebuster. Fruitbat Factory bought the translation from Doki and will publish it through steam and they have at least a clear stance on 18+ title. All i want from SP is a clear answer about 18 title. A simple yes or no cant be that hard right?

  32. Any chance we'll ever hear the full story? I agree though, it should be obvious a lot of fetishes you gain in the 2D realm aren't as applicable (or not applicable at all) in real life. I would say in a real life context, about half of the things I enjoy in 2D won't apply. Depth, it ruins everything.

Hell, Conjueror himself said somewhere that he would push for the winner's translation, not that it would be official. Whoever has hope that the tournament winner is gonna get translated should stop obsessing over the tournament and use that time to learn Japanese.

    VNs vs Anime

    They'll probably end up giving away more VNs from their catalogs to the West to get more money and test the waters.

  39. Played the game for a while, here's my feedback/suggestions: I would really appreciate it if you could add some sort of small tutorial/hintbox at the start because I wandered around for like 10 minutes before I knew what to do. Or just put some girls closer to your starting point ecause the initial area is so empty you really have no idea where you should be headed. All the girls I found at the start were just selling me stuff and I had no clue what to do with it. I also spent my only 10 bucks on a crepe and I have no idea how to earn money. After some more minues minutes I finally found a girl, and even then I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with her since there's no hint, you just have to give them a gift and then they'll go on a date with you. The dialogue is kind of awkward. And by kind of I mean almost always. I have never spoken to this girl and as soon as I give her a crepe she decides to go out on a date with me. Not only that, but when I pick a date spot and choose the date option, the first question she makes was "Did you miss me?" even though I had never met her before that day. The general pacing of the dialogue is also reallyyyy fast. It feels very unnatural to talk to the girls because things just move foward so quickly I don't even have a chance to know them. The choices also seemed really strange at times. Maybe it was the girl I picked, but I had a choice between "let's go to karaoke" and "let's go get drunk", I picked the first because it sounds like a normal thing to do and it somehow turned out to be wrong. I mean, I'm not saying I'm a ladies man, but I figured on a first date you don't go "let's partaaaayyy!!1!", maybe I'm wrong though. Like, really, what am I supposed to answer the question "What are you thinking about?" with when you only give me these 2 options? I thought I would be a really insensitive prick if I said "about the girl behind you" so I said "global warming" even though I think that's just as terrible, but apparently even that was the wrong answer. After some more awkward choices she says she had fun and then leaves me standing there. I spent the next couple of minutes picking up squirrels despite not knowing what to do with them, but they're cute so who cares. My AP goes down to zero, but I have no idea how to regain it because I've already eaten my crepe that I bought with all my money. There's tons of places that are locked and I have no idea how to unlock them either and there's only one other girl to talk to so I'm left with nothing to do in the game. I tried the game you can play on a date but that wasn't particularly fun since the pieces were all jumbled in up and on top of one another so I have to spend time pulling them aside and assembling them again, but that initial process always makes me lose too much time to get a decent score. Eventually I discovered you can sell the squirrels for money although I don't know where you sell them, but I felt really bad for them since they're cute and decided I'd rather not either way, so I'm now stuck in the game forever since I can't buy gifts. Okay that last bit was a joke (except the fact I still don't know where to sell the squirrels), I just figured I'd stop there because I think I've seen enough to give some feedback. Here's my suggestions to improve initial impressions and overall experience. You should probably have some form of menu music. Add an in-game menu that lets you quit to the title and save. I didn't know how to leave the game without closing the app and I thought if I did that I'd lose all my progress. As I mentioned earlier, a hintbox that pops up when you click stuff or some form of early tutorial would REALLY help because I was stuck for a while not knowing what to do. I don't know if it's randomized but you could really do with having the girls closer to you when you start isntead of literally the furthest area possible from you. Also please tell me you didn't use royalty free ukulele music for the BGM of the game. It doesn't matter what else you use, just not royalty free ukulele music. Please. A run button or some form of faster transportation would be really helpful considering you intend on having a big map with different areas to travel to. It's nice that you can choose to be male or female, but could be even better if there was some form of character costumization. Improve the dialogue/choices to make the girls sound more like humans because it felt really silly when I talked to one for the first time Game kinda lagged whenever I switched areas, you might want to try and smooth that out. It might just be my tablet though. Overall, BlewMyMoneyOnCrepesAndSpentMyTimeCatchingSquirrels/10. I think you have a solid foundation to build on here, don't get me wrong, but my initial experience wasn't particularly positive because the game feels so empty and the characters are rather lifeless. Edit: Eventually I found out where you can sell the squirrels and unlock the rest of the map, you need to actually buy the master key. Now I'm not going to sit here and lecture you on micro transactions, but I think locking so much of the game away behind a pay wall is kind of a poor decision because my earlier experience is already negative which makes me not want to spend 1€ to unlock the rest of the game. If you can improve the earlier experience though I think I'd be fine with paying for it since it can turn out to be fun if you polish it.

    VNs vs Anime

    Give Pita Ten a chance. It's the perfect amount of cuteness and absurdity wrapped up in one hilarious package. If you're not sold after the first episode I don't know what to tell you. Anime vs. VNs is no longer a fair comparison, because they have come to serve two very different purposes from the business side of things. Back in MY DAY, when we walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways, anime was the end product and it didn't get any better than having a genuine Japanese laserdisc in your hands. To this day Kimagure Orange Road remains among the elite of the elite in its genre. Even though there was a manga out there, the anime was its own complete product, that gave you the entire story and was an end product you would buy unto itself. VNs do that today. When you are asked for 10,000+ yen, it is to give you the whole story in a complete and fulfilling way (in theory). You don't go through a 2 hour VN as a teaser for a 200 episode anime series. Over the last decade plus the business model for anime has changed. The run of anime has gone from 26+ episodes to 13 to 12 to now even 10. With 26 episodes it is possible to establish 5 or 6 or more characters and give them a story tell. This is no longer the endgame. For the most part, anime is no longer an end product to deliver a compelling, entertaining and satisfying story. 12 episodes are pissed away on a few gags and introducing the characters with no intention of giving a satisfying conclusion. It has become a commercial for the manga, or light novel, or game, or wall scrolls, or cell phone straps, or whatever else. It's not even that you can't tell a compelling story with riveting characters in a relatively short period of time, as the great OVA series of the 90s can attest. The problem is that anime is no longer designed to do so. As such a fair comparison cannot be made. It's like expecting a better story from a trailer than the full film (I realize with the shittiness of American films the trailers are often more entertaining, but you know what I mean). Compare the Majikoi game and anime and it's obvious that game is a much more rewarding experience. Give the writer 100 episodes to tell that kind of story and we can make a more informed comparison.

    The Journey For Salami

    Reposting because I can. Roughly 6 months ago, a man, who I will name OriginalRun for identity protection purposes, put up an interesting ad offering part of his figurine collection. Initially I did not think much of this, but after a couple of scrolls, a particular piece caught my gaze. Little did I know the second I laid eyes upon that PVC lavender haired girl I had just begun laying down the path of one of the worst journeys I have ever went on. Who was this girl, you ask? Well that was none other than Sasasasasasasegawa Salami, otherwise known as the best Little Busters girls and the rightful owner of what is clearly the true Little Busters route. After this I decided to contact OriginalRun as soon as possible in order to secure myself the Salami figure, and luckily enough, OriginalRun managed to secure it for me. A few months pass and OriginalRun returns to his home country, Freedom Lands, where he was keeping the figure and we begin the currency exchange of what will be one of the worst scams in my life. After giving OriginalRun the amount we had agreed upon for the figure, he guaranteed he'd ship the figure to me when he was able to send out all the packages at home. OriginalRun is a pretty big slob though, so it took about another month before that happened. Once it did happen, I asked OriginalRun to do something that set my terrible fate in motion, I asked him to mark the value of the figure in the package as 20 dollarydoos. You may think at this point I'm attempting to evade some shady laws since I live in Socialist Dystopia, but the truth is because this figure was merely a gift from a friend, I thought valueing it at a common value such as 20 dollarydoos wouldn't hurt anybody and I would still pay the taxes for it regardless. I was naive. About a week passes, and the mail tracking service updating the status on my Salami figure, telling me it has entered Socialist Dystopia. I am joyous, thrilled I will finally be united with the purple goddess, but the heavens had other plans for me, because a couple days after Salami arrived, I recieved a notice from the evil syndicate known as "customs office". They were holding Salami as hostage and demanding a ransom, that ransom was proof of the Salami's value that had been assigned on the package. My heart stops, I scratch my head and wonder what I am supposed to do. I pick up the phone and dial the evil syndicate. 2 x x 6 9 6 9 x x, I press on my cellphone's keys. No answer. I call another time, and another one, and another one, and another one, and at last a connection is made. I explain to the man on the line that Salami was just a gift from a friend, and thus I had no kind of receipt that showed I paid the amount written on the package. The man instructed me to send an e-mail explaining the situation to customs, with screenshots of the bank transactions and other documents. I do as I am told. 3 days later, a reply comes back, the information is apparently not sufficient to release Salami. Sweat drips down my forehead, what will I do if I can not have Salami? I explain the story to them once again, re-iterating that it's impossible for me to have a receipt since the god damn package is a gift from a friend why the fuck are you so persistent with this shit it was merely a gift. They ask me to send in a declaration, swearing on my name and honor that the value on the package is 100% true and I do not intend to sell Salami in Socialist Dystopia or any other country inside the Kool Kids Kontinent. Confused on how to fill this form, I call customs asking for assistance in order to make sure I do not commit any mistake. It was a trap. The man on the other side of the speaker tells me the total value I'm supposed to indicate on the declaration is simply the shipping value, not the value of the figure and the shipping combined. I find this very jarring, so I ask again to make sure this is the right thing to do. The man on the phone insists this is the right thing to do. Thinking customs wouldn't lie to me, I fill the declaration the way I am told to and send it to them. And here begins the countdown to doomsday. 2 weeks pass and I get a second warning from customs, telling me I need to send them documents I had already previously sent and that because 30 days had passed since the initial warning, I would now be paying a 40 cent p/day fee. I am appalled. Why was I not warned of this beforehand, and why was I getting a second warning when I already sent them the documents? I send a new e-mail to customs, asking about the fees and why I got a second warning, to which they reply with "the documents you sent were not valid". I am speechless, they tricked me! I contact OriginalRun again and tell him the situation, he's just as in awe as I was and decides to call customs himself from Freedom Land, but the evil organization was one step ahead, as OriginalRun's call was blocked. I knew at that time that I was all by myself during this peril. I dial customs once more, something I thought I would never do, and they confirm my worst fears, I had declared the incorrect information on the initial form, even though I simply filled it just like the customs' man told me to. Angered, I decide there is only one way to solve this, and e-mails simply won't do, I will go there in person and rescue Salami! The holiday festivities are over and the customs office will be open on the following Monday. My fees keep increasing with each day that passes, 40 cents at a time, but I put up with the pain, slowly stroking my wallet and assuring it everything will be fine. This is when fate decides to throw me out of the loop again, as I am reminded that on monday I also have a final college exam to take. Not only that, but I was reminded of this on the Sunday before the exam! I dodged a bullet and set up an alarm to wake up and take the exam, but due to the unforeseen circumstances, I can not properly get a good night of sleep, and that is only the beginning of what will likely be the most tiring day I will experience in 2016. After sleeping roughly 3 hours, my alarm rings. I unwillingly get up, my limbs barely move, but I prepare to head for college, knowing that after my exam, I will also have to visit customs. I get to college, and hoping to wake myself up a little more, I buy a coffee. I sit down on a table, place the coffee in front of me, and decide to do what I typically do, browse dank memes on Reddit. I take out my tablet and lay it on the table. I'm about to take a sip of my coffee when suddenly, my sluggish arm can't control its motion very well and knocks down the cup. Dark brown liquid spreads across the table and onto my new shoes which were given to me on Christmas. I am disheartened as everything and it's only 9AM, the day looks gloom. After what has likely been a botched literature exam, I go into the subway and head to the customs office. Not being familiar with the area, I have a map on my tablet in case I get lost. I reach the designated station and exit out the nearest stairway. Looking out at the buildings, things don't look like the map, but the road looks similar enough for me to believe I came out through the correct exit. I start going down a road. About 15 minutes pass and I realize this might not have been the correct place after all. I head back to the subway and realize my fears came true and it was the wrong exit. I look at my clock, 12:40PM, 20 minutes before the customs office closes their doors. I begin the biggest dash I could muster, climbing up sets of stairs and then down a large avenue that matches the one on my map, and I soon confirm it by reading the name on a plaque. I can do it, I just need to keep going. I see the bright red colors of the office, they feel like home. I pray to god the doors are still open, that I managed to get here in time, that I didn't just waste about 4,30€ in subway tickets, that Salami won't have to wait for me another day, and the heavens gratiously granted me this wish, as I arrive there 5 minutes before they stop giving out tickets. "Now you're just making this way overdramatic" you say. Well, you'd normally think so, but that's why I kept my ticket which has the time and date on it, recording this historical feat: C0095, yes, that is the number that was assigned to me in this line. I look at the current number, C0061. Some minutes go by and the counter goes to C0062. My stomach grumbles, I realize it's 1PM and I haven't had anything to eat since 9AM. I'm starting to think I have just made the worst mistake of my life. My bladder suddenly kicks in. No bathrooms in sight. WhyDidIDoThis.png. The policemen who were guarding the doors close them and tell us nobody else can come in, only go out once they have finished whatever business they have. I've come this far with my own strength, there's no way I'm backing out now! Some more minutes pass by. I'm reading manga on my tablet in hopes of forgetting my bladder's cries for help. The stench of human sweat in this tiny enclosed space is excruciating. C0069 gets called. I internally chuckle and wonder why am I laughing at this when I'm 20 years old already. The ladies at the counter start speeding up, I guess everyone wants to have lunch. The numbers climb faster and faster, and as if a light descended upon me by the heavens, my number gets called. I am nervous, what if they reject my documents like the e-mails did? What if they start asking questions I can't answer? What if Salami just gets sent back after all this? The old lady who's talking to me asks to see the customs warning. I explain the situation once more, looking directly at her in hopes she will understand I merely want to get my figure and return to my normal life. "Ah okay. Well just fill out that declaration with the values you want and give it to me, kthnx". And not a single fuck was musttered by that office lady that day. I hand the declaration to her and she prints out the customs invoice so I can pick up my package. I can sense tears swelling up in the corners of my eyes. I will finally be able to touch her, after all this time everything will finally be worth it. I wait for the invoice line to go down and my turn is up once more, I hand out the invoice and get asked to pay about 23€ in fees. I barely even listen, I just nod and agree. I don't want to fight, I merely want to return from this hellhole and appreciate the life I've been given. The payment is complete, I wait for the lady to get my box. I see the box slowly approaching. I feel the cardboard with my fingertips, it's the sweetest sensation my fingers have felt this year. I forget everything that's happened up to that point in my life and open the exit door. It starts raining. I assure myself the world is just testing me, that this is just to see if I am worthy of having Salami. I bend down in order to cover the box as wel as I can and I run up the avenue in the pouring rain. The water drops feel like needles stabbing the back of my head, but I must stay strong in order to protect Salami. I see the subway up ahead. I don't stop to look at the red signs and cross the road, heading down the subway stairs. My coat is drenched and my feet are cold, but I keep going. The subway entrance feels like the entrace to the garden of eden, once I enter I can put everything behind me. This is what I initially thought, but I was soon brought back to the harsh reality of the fact this day just absolutely hates me, as I enter the subway to encounter a man playing the accordion. I don't use the subway a lot, but this never happened before. Today, the sole day I just want to get some rest after all the ordeals I've been through, there's a guy playing the accordion as loud as he possibly can next side me in the subway. My head feels like it's about to implode, I want to throw him out of the carriage, but I keep my calm as much as possible. The subway finally reaches the final station. I leave and feel my head ringing, but just a few more steps and I'll be able to get on a bus and head home. The bus comes, I think I might have actually teared a little. I sit Salami down on the seat next side me. I call my father and ask him if he can pick me up when I get home. Turns out today is the day my father starts his new job so there's nobody home to pick me up. My feet feel an itch, they've been walking for hours, yet the day is still not over. I get off the bus, my house is finally at a walking distance. I keep my pace up, holding Salami tight under my arm. The sunset looks beautiful, it's almost like everything that occured earlier never happened and I'm just able to enjoy this moment with the Salami I've been waiting for so much. I see my house in the distance. I can't feel my feet, but I keep going, those 3 hours of sleep are going to have to be enough to get me home, I won't fall down on a place like this. I reach the door and twist the key, I have never liked the scent of a building as much as I did at that moment. My body musters to bring out its leftover strength to reach my bedroom and open the package. The feelings rising up inside me are indiscribable. I remove all the foam peanuts, each one revealing more and more of the purple twintailed goddess. My body collapses on the bed, foam all around it. All of my body extremeties are numb, as is my mind. I can't think back on all the crazy stuff that has happened today. The blood, sweat and tears I have shed over this past month. The endless yelling at the customs office to get a brain and realize people can send gifts to each other without actually doing purchases you fucking dimwits. These insufferable 6 months of waiting feel like an instant as I lift my chin up and can, at last, lay my teary eyes upon my Salami. "Truly a best girl. 5/7" - IGN What did you do for your waifu today, fuwans? PS: Yes, this did happen today (on the 4th because fuwanovel.rip) PSS: That includes the accordion guy. PSSS: Yes, Portugal's customs office is that shitty.

  47. Just finished Carnival Phantasm. I wanted to see it since it aired, and I thought now was a good time, after finishing playing FSN. Now I have less things to read/watch from TYPEMOON. I just want to play Tsukihime and read Kara no Kyoukai's light novels and I think I'll be pretty much done with TYPEMOON (at least with the English-translated things from TYPEMOON)
