They might be in some of the other <dir> listings but based on the names I see in your screenshot it doesn't seem like they would be in any of them. Are there any other xp3 files in the VN's folder? If there are then try opening those too. Any archive with audio should be a pretty large file. EDIT: For my personal reference because Lightshot isn't display the image

Also, is there an xp3 file called bgm.xp3 by chance? If there is, then that is where your music will be hiding out.

Any list item that says <dir> next to it is a folder so there will be files or more folders inside all of them. You just need to double click them to open. Double click the ... at the top to go up a folder in the tree. In order to find what you're looking for you'll need to explore in those folders a little bit. The alter and system folders are where I would start.

If you drag the file onto the Garbro window does it say anything in the bottom left corner?

You tried Garbro already? https://github.com/morkt/GARbro

Can't wait for Crunchyroll to realize they forgot to vet the content in World's End Harem.

Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas Winter Polaris (Is your avatar from this VN? Looks like she may be.)

Soft Denchi is pretty weak DRM. You can cut it out of the exe super easy: https://vndb.org/t14007.4

Skibbidy bah n da duh BLAM The fact that Amazon is working on a competitor to Steam and naming it Vapor is hilarious to me.

Watched this video a while back and I've been super concerned about the direction of personal computing ever since. Maybe he's just a doomer, idk. Good things to think about at least.

Finally got my copy in today. I got the limited edition because it was only $10 more or something. The box is enormous. Larger than the Mayoho box. Unfortunately my joycons died a few minutes in so I'm waiting for those to charge back up before I can really start reading it. Just tested it and it works with no hassle at all on Switch. Just straight up plug and play. It even let me download an update for it even though the Switch account I used to run the game is not associated with a Japanese Nintendo account.

I find a lot of EVN romance goes 0 to 60 in 3.5. Like, they'll have a few normal, mundane conversations and then suddenly *BAM* they're soulmates. I realize the EVN scene is relatively young and as such tends towards shorter script lengths, and so the real estate available to develop a romance is limited. Even so, I think it's very doable to have a short but well-paced romance arc. But there's gotta actually be an arc, not this spike in the graph thing.

Agreed, except in this specific situation it's a Cero Z game so I think you need a Japanese credit card to buy a download edition. I guess that qualifies as age verification or something.

Forwarding service.

Do you sell bootlegged Nekopara out of a trenchcoat?

Both Switch and PS4 are region free though. I got the Switch version and I guess this will be my first time running a foreign region game on it, but I don’t anticipate any issues.

13-ish years after it was announced, the Tsukihime remake has finally released. Has anyone gotten a chance to try it yet? What are your impressions? I just got my shipment notification from Play Asia this morning so I probably won't be able to try it out for another 2 weeks or something. It's only been out for like half a day at this point and people have already seen fit to rate it very highly or very poorly on VNDB. Seems a little premature to me given that it's been out for about 16 hours or something, but oh well.

I'm curious about something. This time around your stated goal is to have a character that looks like you that you can self-insert with. Why ask for black protagonist instead of a "dark-skinned Asian from SEA" whose skin tone is /exactly/ like yours? iirc in your previous threads you had asked for black representation in a way that made it sound like a charity project you were running on behalf of black people. Was that always a ploy to get a character that looks at least tangentially like you and not actually a way to increase black representation in VNs? As in, maybe you thought a black protagonist VN had a better shot at getting made than a "dark-skinned Asian from SEA" VN, so you asked for that and you figured the Venn-diagram overlap was good enough for your self-inserting needs? That's my theory about this saga. Please don't these threads are actually very interesting.

You've tried reinstalling to a different location?

I've definitely seen map movement and events tied to a time of day before in Ren'py. E.g Lucky Paradox (NSFW link btw). The scripts in that game are pretty easy to get to with Garbro if you want to try to dissect them. Implementing the system is probably just a big series of variables compared against if statements though. If day == 1 AND timeOfDay == afternoon AND characterRouteProgress == 3 THEN doSomething()

Was it ever a separate release? It looks like all of the after stories are included in the 11eyes -Resona Forma- fandisk: https://vndb.org/v4429/releases (see notes on the Chinese translation)

I miss the days when everyone was super hyped about this new company Sekai Project and how they were gonna bring all the biggest VNs to the west.

For me, yeah I'd prefer stylized. Something hand-drawn and semi realistic could be fine too. It's just those soulless looking 3D things that bother me.

It's your project so you can do whatever you want. What do you mean by semi realistic? In the last 5 or so years there have been dozens and dozens of OELVNs that use 3D models that are more or less realistic looking as far as body proportions and colors are concerned. I personally find that style uncanny to the point of being repulsive, but a lot of VNs using that style are raking in cash on Patreon so there is clearly a market for it.

I've been messing around in Unity lately trying to learn it with the end goal of eventually making a VN. For me personally, I'm not interested in using a framework. Creating everything from the ground up is half the appeal to me. That said, examples are always nice. I was going to try and use Godot at one point, and someone had already created a free VN template that you can download. I was still going to write everything from the ground up, but that template was very informative as a study resource. Godot ended up not having a few key features that I wanted though, so I went back to Unity.
