yeah, I'm definetely learning japanese to read Moon. Thanks for the help <3

The newest Japanese version works on win10. I thus recommend you learn Japanese, avoid the probably bad Ixrec tl (literally his first), and read it in Japanese w

While I generally agree with you, I thought the analogue gameplay was nicely inserted and fun, not to mention thematically appropriate and immersive as you play an investigator and there's data to be found with the commands. However, I'm used to using command line interfaces, which I imagine is a rare quality these days.
Personally I'd like to extend your sentiment even further though. A lot of visual novels created EVN wise are (at least in marketing) incredibly and unhealthily obsessed with frequent choices (when they're not kinetic... but I'm fine with that extreme, so whatever). I don't think they ever really deliver on the freedom they pretend to be giving, and even if they did I'd rather not have to replay a zillion times to see the full text. Especially if there's no flowchart to use as a guide. I'd rather people focus on making good stories than providing unneeded agency.
On a vaguely related note, Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo is p good gameplay hybrid w

From a ideal standpoint, the moment you mix gamplay and narrative, one of the two has to give way.
For VN's generally you want to prioritize the story and do everything so that the gameplay doesn't interfere with the narrative. (Actually I thought of mahou shoujo too, lol@Zakamutt). My gripe is that games in general have too many levels, and nothing sucks more than unneccesary levels also killing the story pacing. Just do battles, and if there are too few add extra levels on the side.
If you prioritize gameplay, you now have the freedom to cater the story and pacing to what works best for the gameplay. You can't do this if you already have a plot planned out.

Luckily I have no NDAs binding me, so I can post various VN TL rates I may or may not have been told about:
First of all we have Arunaru when quitting MG who says the max rate at MG is now 1.75 cents per moji. I've heard 1 cent per moji quoted a lot as the lowest MG rate, but it's possiblE they've went up to 1.25 or something. https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr1tu4. I believe editing rates are generally ~1/4 of tl rates at MG while they might be 1/2 at other companies, but this might have changed.
Sol Press pays 1 cent per moji as far as I know. If you ever needed another reason not to work for them...
JAST is afaik at least 2 but might be 3. Could go to 4?
Frontwing used to pay a whopping 6 afaik, but I'm not sure if this is still true.
Sekai is 2 or 3 I believe. Again, could go to 4? —but you'd be working for sekai project.
I don't think any vn tl company bar frontwing pays 5 cents or above on any kind of regular basis. Maybe Aksys? not sure. I think Aksys has unusually high editor pay to go with their "have translators translate literally (badly) and punch it up later" approach where they expect semi-heroic editor efforts. But I haven't heard a number for Aksys I don't think.

I'd like a translation of Kodoku no Yurikago, a denpage obscure enough to not have had a vndb page until.... just recently, oh well, I was going to style on you by linking the jp dlsite page but whatever. I added some screenshots! I stalled it partway through because I have chronic stalling disorder. From what I've read it's a mindfuck with a distinctly unreliable narrator that had a terrible incident in his past which haunts him to this day. A lot of the story is told through non-chronologically ordered (dates shown in binary code half the time...) flashbacks that reveal what could have caused the incident, what it was, and what might be happening to him now. Also lots of nausea and depression and hating everything. The non-recollection part of the plot seems to be centered on protag-kun meeting a girl that triggers him immensely just by being around, to the point where the story goes entirely off the rails and whoops a lamp post is telling him about how science can only really remark on past events - the future is only predictions, and were the laws of the world to change entirely one day all science could do would be to record the new rules.

I think Lynne might have some of that grimy urban atmosphere, not sure if it's what you're after though lol since this would be a musical descendent at best - you can listen here https://sleepyagents.bandcamp.com/album/lynne-ost
Beside the musical aspect, it's set in rundown, low class England and you can feel it. The graphics match as well.

You are so full of yourself.

This kind of thinking is so toxic to the whole world not just the visual novel community ....you are just a resentful little man, lashing out words of discouragement, with so much hate on them... it's actually pathetic and frightening to see someone saying this kind of things and BELIEVING them, yes the worst thing is that you believe in what you are saying...

Who are you to judge the "standard" of fan translations and saying that he doesn't even meet the so called "low standards"?  
Who are you to say when someone is or isn't ready to do anything?
Comparing a translation of a visual novel to a fight against Muhammad Ali....are you out of your mind, are you on prescriptions or something?

Using the word "disrespectful" for a fan translation.... wtf! Disrespectful and low is what you are doing here!

He doesn't need any standards and sure as hell doesn't owe YOU or anyone here NOTHING, if the company at some point decides that they don't t want his translation they would do so as many companies have done in the past but until then you are no one to judge his work or say anything to him, specially not in the way you are saying it.
And please refrain from now on of using the word "us" in your posts since  clearly you are not a spokesman of anything I believe or think.

You are the first user I will block in fuwanovel, I like to keep toxic people away from me. And please don't take my post out of context....

Get help, you really need it!

さよなら

え
My only dream is another season of nichibros, which will never happen

honestly fair point

Okay that was pretty entertaining
I'm not sure how I feel about spoiling [well known visual novel] just for a joke, though I guess a lot of people including me will have played it lol
You certainly have a unique style if nothing else lol

After loading a save it worked this time? the hell
Edit: I can reproduce the bug(?) easily by starting from the beginning. The transition only works if I load a save, which also makes a background image white where it would show a picture otherwise
Edit 2: the save has to be close to the crash point to stop the bug from occurring as well.
Edit 3: whoa these are some naughty hung processes

Okay so what happens for me is, the black screen at ~15:50 in the video never ends; it doesn't proceed to the next image, the settings cogwheel does nothing when clicked either. I guess the VN just hangs for me then? lol tyranobuilder

I mean if this were a horror part I'd understand, but it sort of just looks bad here
(the grammar nazi in me wants to add that the hyphen after occasion should be an en dash (a bit wider) or a nonspaced em dash)

I am woman! Not man! Hear me roar! 
Hmm..... I need to look into that and upload downloadable versions of EEEEVVVERYthing. I didn't know it was giving those types of problems! EEK!!!! 

In the meantime here is the direct link to one and it's sequel. Prepare for weirdness: 

https://arcanecity.itch.io/the-virgin     <--- first

https://arcanecity.itch.io/arcane-city-lynlin   <---- the (longer) sequel (which i think is better!) 

Man, is there any way to download this stuff instead of playing it in the browser? The fullscreen button doesn't work, I have to completely disable ublock and noscript for the tab to get it to load, clicking new game takes ages to actually load the game with no feedback making you think it's just not working, and well html5 vns are not my fave
