It's that time again! As we've done in the past every so often we post an invite for our server so that those who wish to join our now over one year old server can do so. While we're well aware we are not the "Official Fuwanovel Server", there are still reasons to join our "niche server" (now boasting almost a hundred members!). Our amazing logo made by @Arcadeotic <3 Link: https://discord.gg/wU3M6u6 Reasons to join this server Where to start?? 1) We're a more laid back community (Vn talks, animu talks and so on) 2) Occasional voice chats 3) A karaoke every so often (sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly, depends on demand) 4) A privately hosted Nadeko bot so we have flowers (gamble responsibly, don't be like @Kiriririri) But it's not enough to convince you just by telling you about it, right? Well here's some interactions to expect: - We've got Brits! - We've got edge! - We've got depression! - But we also have love This group is run by @Arcadeotic and Myself as it was born from one of our old pm groups on Fuwanovel so you can feel at home!

my first song translation, please go easy on me. そっと記した夢 The dream I peacefully wrote for myself 言い訳ばかりして I was full of excuses ほったらかしにしていた Always alone. 変わるのが怖くて Scared of change 何があるのかも There might be something out there 何が変わるのかも Something might change 行ってみなきゃわからない Only one way to find out, I have to go さあ一歩前に踏み出そう Well, let's begin with one first step 大きな夢を叶えたくて To fulfill this big dream of mine はるか遠く遠く In a place far, far away. 真っ白な世界に残したいな I want to leave it in a pure white world. 最初の足跡 The first few footsteps. 世界の最果てで In the furthest ends of the world. 転がっていく太陽 Where the sun tumbles down 南風はやがて島を越えて髪を揺らす The southern wind passes the island and sways my hair ちっさな夢を叶えたくて To fulfill this small dream of mine. 願った強く強く wishing ever so strongly. 履き慣れたスニーカー putting on my over familiar sneakers 紐をキュット締め直して Tighten them ever so strongly でっかい夢を叶えたくて To fulfill this huge dream of mine. はるか遠く遠く In a place far, far away. 波に揺られてかったふりして Pretending to be shaken by the waves 進んでゆくよ I advance 宇宙(そら)より遠くへ To the furthest place in the universe (Is this the right board? Who knows...)

I am so honoured! The spam dungeon is my home after all~ But for the record, I finally found that stupid item in that game, after spending over 400k in cleaning out the shop every time I went there. I am still so

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share with you the VN I've been working on with some friends. After that, i wanted to share the peculiar history behind the development, as we've had many questions that can only be answered by asking you directly. It is important to us that you give us your feedback, whether you like the project or not (especially if you don't!): “Rejoice, brothers and sisters, for The Answer has been proclaimed. Blessed be those who know how to listen.” -Nova City foundation chronicles In a world torn apart by crisis, war and hunger, our old leaders faced a dilemma: either find an answer to the conflict or leave humanity to its imminent destruction. They chose the answer. But this answer was not found, it was built. Nova City, humanity´s new hope Nova City is a vibrant symbol of hope and progress. It stands over the ruins of the war-torn world we left behind. Bursting with life and commerce, it seems unthinkable that the city itself is also a massive computer built to house “The Answer”: a system created to govern in the most rational and optimized way, excluding humanity from the exercise of political power. The Answer has brought prosperity to Nova City, and its citizens have lived devoid of major conflicts for over two centuries. Inside an apartment of this city, you wake up to find a tarot card that someone must have slipped under your door. The message is clear: The Fortune Teller has chosen you as the next victim. Afraid to leave your apartment, you rush to your computer to make a call that will change the lives of many people (or even end them) as the delicate balance of power in the city begins to shift. Embark on this noir tale of mystery and intrigue that will pit humanity’s reason against our own inevitable emotional nature. Game & Features From the start, you have locked yourself in your apartment to hide from the serial killer called "The Fortune Teller". In such a predicament, you’ll be interacting with Nova City and its people through your computer’s screen. From your computer, you’ll be able to make calls, tap into people’s phones and gain access to confidential information. You’ll also be able to hack into security systems in order to, for example, tail someone through traffic light’s camera feeds. During the course of the story, you’ll be able to create alliances with Nova City’s most important factions, gaining powerful friends (and enemies) in the process. Hacklist is currently being developed for PC/Mac. Features: Emotion Compass: Allows you to see how people feel, and how their emotional state changes as you touch certain topics. This will allow you to call bluffs, understand people better, push them to act in certain ways or set the mood for intimate conversations. Profiler: You'll have access to police reports for everyone you speak to. The profiler updates itself as new events unfold, and will give you some insights and hints about your contact's personality, letting you know how people may react differently to the same emotions. Hacklist also presents some new mechanics to the usual VN structure in the form of Apps you can use at any time during your experience: Skall: A videochat app where most dialogues/scenes will happen. Watermelon News: A social network where you'll be able to read people's posts and Nova City News. Remote.hack: Access networks, hack into security cameras, tap phones, and get into other people's computers to reveal their darkest secrets. The story behind the story... (and how your opinion will decide the changes we'll make) So! We're a team of 6 living and working in Caracas, Venezuela. This is a project born a couple of years ago in a itch.io game jam, back when it looked like this: (and yep... that's me!) After the jam, the project leads wanted to continue the project. I couldn't at that time because of my job, so they formed Caustic Games to do it. That's how the second version of Hacklist was born. It was a much more polished product, and it had a new cyberpunk/vaporwave style. This version was approved on Square Enix Collective, where you can still play the demo. (That's Kentai on the center. They grow up so fast! *sniff*) (A screenshot of our pseudo-antagonist Clive Jackson. Remember the name, we'll come back to him in a bit!) The campaign was successful, and we received a lot of feedback that helped us detect some flaws we had. Around this time, 2 of the main artists left the project, and the remaining artist and myself (i had just joined the team) couldn't accurately replicate the previous artist's style, so we were forced to abandon a style we liked in favor of making a new one that we could handle better. Eventually, we rewrote the whole story, keeping the same characters and archetypes mostly intact. But this story was to be set in a futuristic utopia, rather than the bleak future from the previous cyberpunk setting. After some time, we decided that a futuristic Art Deco setting was perfect for the mood of future, progress and empowerment we wanted Nova City to irradiate. ...And then we hit a pretty hard roadblock: none of the characters we were designing were aesthetically cohesive with either the tone and setting, or the environment itself. So we started to make some tests on styles for the characters... ...then we made some more... ...and MORE... We finally set out to define the style and technique we would have for the in-game art, and it went down to these three versions of Clive Jackson (the guy i told you to remember from the previous version!): Aaaand that's where we stand now! we decided internally to go with the third option, as we felt the technique blended better with the background and the character was designed to resemble an Art Deco statue, from the volumetrization to the edgy style from illustrations of the 1920's, 30's and 40's. The thing is, we kind of went open minded about changing the anime style to something that better reflected the world where the story is taking place, but none of us has seen more than a handful of non-anime visual novels, and have no idea if this art style is actually appealing or if it is, on the contrary, something that would disuade readers. Here's where you come into play! We need your feedback and opinion about the project, as asking you guys directly is the only possible way for us to know we're on the right track. We would love it if you took the time to watch the concepts, mockups and screens and tell us, honestly, which images do you find more appealing, and if the current state of art style is something you might want to see in a VN. Do you think non-anime style in VNs is something detrimental? or do you think it-s a welcome change of routine? Please let us know what you think! Thank you for reading through the end! Anything you can comment on the project is a HUGE help for us! -Jorge Veloso AKA "Vel", Artist at Caustic Games Our Team Hacklist on Facebook VNDB entry still in progress...

In a way, I find it less offensive than pineapple in pizza.

I'm fucking

I'll help @HMN out on the British one. I-if he's interested, o-of course

I love how @Forgetful Frank is in all but one of those posts. He is, after all, an integral part of our FuwaSpammer experience

WHAT CONSENT REEEEEEEEE

A lot of developers don't really see the value of getting involved in a community. A lot of them don't do much in the way of marketing, even. It takes a few games--if you last that long--before you realize that it's a privilege to be able to create and have people give you their attention. People respond well to mutual respect and grace. Poor thing really did mess up here. Not only did they get a lot of negative attention, but they also missed out on one of the great VN communities available to them.

Goddamn. It took me over 2 and a half years to get to this mark after taking 5 months to get to 1000. Well, I guess I'll explain my story on this site again for all of those people who didn't recognize me from my early days. I arrived on this site in October of 2015 as a guy who didn't have any clue about the community in general. Over time, I posted way too much for any normal human being and that caused me to be recruited by former shitposter @Dergonu and along with the now forum-dead NTR queen @CeruleanGamer, we formed this spammer group and it's grown into a public Discord since that PM group was formed back in January of 2016. Along the way, I grew more elitist and cynical for the VN community and this was mainly triggered by Noble Works, the worst VN to ever be read by human eyes. Then I left for like 2 years from this site as it was becoming quite dead, at least to me. I came back and started posting again in January of this year and hopefully, I stick around to shitpost/give my opinions to others for a while longer. Now time to be an annoyance and mention random people I like (in a hetero way). @Dergonu - You may be a nazi mod now, but I still remember when you were a spammer just like me. Keep being shitty with your taste for me. @DarkZedge - We basically don't agree on anything besides Kara no Shoujo, but you're still a cool neko lover and you're just as cynical as me, so that's good. @Arcadeotic - The original serious poster. I still can't forgive you for ruining Gahkthun for me, but I still expect an overly semi-serious post about this. @Kawasumi - Trap lover, trap in general, and a person with good taste in VNs. @HMN - The best male alive. Glad to have you in the Anti Moege Task Force and as a fellow Kyonyuucon. @Kiriririri - The worst taste in this community. Keep that in your moemory. Just kidding, good luck on your fruitless mod quest. @AaronIsCrunchy - My favourite british metalhead, even if I have no clue what your taste in VNs is at this point. @Flutterz - The second best thing about the Fuwachat, compared to DemonSabre. @Funnerific - You may not like a lot of my favourite VNs, but we can relate in G-Senjou no Maou, so that's good enough. @Zakamutt - A fellow elitist and hater of most translations. Finish Himawari already. @greenshadow622 - You and I were allies in the headpat bans of 2017 and we will forever be bonded by that. @Nintaidou - Thank you for showing me all of those kyonyuu nukige. They were...appreciated. @madvanced - Fellow portuguese man, so that's enough to be cool with you. I have no clue about anything else though, besides that you meme. @Forgetful Frank - Here's some advice for life. Actually finish a VN before picking up 3 more. It'll help you to like certain VNs more. @Ayana - The guy with the most similar taste to mine. Shame you can't be online to talk more often, but the conversations are pretty cool. @Asonn - My favourite toddlercon and hater of most VNs. @Barry Benson - My favourite spanish bee. It's always fun shitting on TL companies and shitposting together. Also, I'm pretty sure you have 18 weeks to TL Tenkiame now. @Kaguya - My favourite mod currently. I don't agree with a lot of your philosophies, but I can at least understand them. Plus, having a conversation with you leads to...interesting things happening. @SpinningShiat - You're gay. (This is what you wanted, right?) Finally, I'll mention all the new people who I'm not entirely familiar with on this site since I left. People like @Thatcomicguy, @Zander, @Plk_Lesiak, @MaggieROBOT, @Ranzo, @Dreamysyu, and others. I'll recruit you guys into my spammer cult eventually. And that's all from me today. Just a reminder that you can ask me anything or roast me or whatever you want to do on this post. Here's to reaching 2000 posts in a reasonable amount of time.

I'm contacting my lawyers for you using my name in a non-consensual matter.

Wow, where's my invitation

Pray to our lord and saviour Carlos Matos 5 times a day while facing New York. Pray by screaming, "BITCONNNNEEEEEEEEEEECT"

Is he also a bug chaser?

i'm actually a victim

Y'all be mad jelly

ill admit the only problem is the occasional nazi about japanese in main chat tbh which I suppose you might not care about if you're a pleb :thinking:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37021/Iya_na_Kao_sare_nagara_Opantsu_Misete_Moraitai [I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear] While browsing mal I came across this, the description on the announcement says: "Drawn by 40-hara, the series depicts various situations where maids, high school girls, nurses, shrine maidens show their panties with a look of disdain." , that's it. From what i gather, its not a h-anime.

What is this? People been complaining of snow recently. If you see the red, that's where ALL the snow in Australia is

Okami.

I've got the candles right here...oops, wrong thread. How embarrassing!

I don't know whether some company already licensed this or not. But here is my wishful thinking 1. Shinigami no testament 2. Gensou no idea

Is the first part also a confession, or just a comment? (hint: that's why)

Is he actually a masochist....

Erm, so, like every forum ever created? If true, 15% is an amazingly big number.

I NOW HAVE MORE POSTS THAN REPUTATION, LIKE SOME PLEB. THIS FORUM SUCKS.

Haven't posted to this thread in quite a while, so I've got a pretty long list to run down... My Work Outaku Friend (hereafter "my wof") recommended me Blend S, so I watched it. An impressively average show. Previously he recommended Restaurant to Another World, so I assumed he at least had similar tastes to mine, but I am now reconsidering. I shall henceforth be taking my wof's recommendations with a grain of salt. I watched Your Name (I'm not putting the stupid period at the end) with some friends. It was about as good as people have been saying; I enjoyed it quite a bit. The subs had their moments, but they were pretty mediocre for such a high-profile release, so I wish I'd been able to convince folks to watch the dub. At least then we presumably wouldn't have had to deal with untranslated pronouns which left at least one member of the audience with no idea what was going on (among other problems...). Ugh. I've been steadily going through Monogatari Second Season, and am now in the middle of Koimonogatari. I didn't care for Nekomonogatari Black, but everything since then has been absolute genius; I enjoyed Nise and Bake quite a bit, but season two is on a whole other level. This show is mind-numbingly good. Also, I can't get Nadeko Medusa's OP song out of my head; what an earworm. Meanwhile, Koimonogatari's OP video is batshit crazy and I love it (and the same could be said of episode one of Koimonogatar; wow). Speaking of subs, this show's are godawful, which is particularly depressing given how much of the show revolves around dialogue and characterization. Screw Aniplex and their almost-always-terrible translation quality at an absurd price point. At least it still looks jaw-dropping. Last but definitely not least, I'm about halfway through Recovery of an MMO Junkie. For obvious reasons, it reminds me of Welcome to the NHK (which I loved) but much more lighthearted; it's got that same "hitting a little too close to home" feel which pulled me into NHK quickly, but without some of the queasiness NHK induced (which ultimately was what made NHK into an outstanding show, for me). At any rate, I like soft-hitting sweet romcoms too, so I'm enjoying it a lot and expect to give it a high rating when I'm done, assuming it gets a sufficiently conclusive ending. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go revel in the rest of Koimonogatari.

So I don't need to ctrl through them anymore? Great!

Don't ruin the surprise! There, Fiddle-sama, even a mention for you.

It was completely consensual though

Cause you got em all *CATCH EM ALL*
