If you want to help the site and want a challenge, please speak up! The more help we get, the faster we can bring the new site to you! Nay and I will be monitoring this thread, so either reply here or send us (Tay and Nayleen) a PM if you've got questions or want to volunteer.
Interestingly enough, it seems my gambit worked. Only one member of the Military Police managed to hold on to their spot in the top 3. Now, the prizes Ren has offered, I will let him decide how those go out so hold on for just a little bit longer for the Infinity games and the Key Memorial Box. For everything else, the first place winner gets to pick their prize first from the available. The second place winner gets to pick second, and the third, well you get it. Note: Pancake mix was a joke, but if you want it bad enough, I'll buy you a gift card to a local grocery store.
FOR EVERYONE WHO WAS A PART OF THE FINAL WEEK: You will all be getting a little something. I can't say when I can do it, but I will do everything I can to give you all a little treat for hanging in there and putting up with all of this madness and stupidity on my end. I fully recognize and understand that this contest was a clusterfuck, all of which was my fault for not properly planning, and not keeping up with it as well as I should have. So, I do apologize for that, and I hope that the small prize will be of some consolation, as well as hopefully restoring a little faith in me. I am aware that this contest may have hurt my "stellar" reputation.
Now then, I won't go and post everyone's score here. Just the top 5. If you want to know your score, and where you placed, feel free to send me a PM. Now then, on to the main event.
In 5th place, finishing in a tie with 43 points, are MasterWizard, and Norah_Crises
In 4th place, with 45 points, is Quark
In 3rd place, with 58 points, Flutterz (he somehow wins something in every contest ever run)
Finishing 2nd place, with 61 points, congratulate Suikashoujo (who should be extremely thankful for the sacrifices of Rose and vibrantblade this past week)
And our first place winner, with 94 points, and one incredibly lucky day, is Edumax! Be sure to send me a PM with your prize of choice
Again, thank you to everyone who stuck around. Things got rough in the middle, and I could have done much better, but you all hung in there to the end. Again, thank you.
If you have any final questions, comments, concerns or just want to yell and scream at me for being shitty at running a contest, feel free to send a PM. The top 3 winners will not change though.
And Zodai, because I know my curious Garrison spokesperson will want to know, you finished with 28 points
Truly, the life of a nomad is difficult. One must constantly move to find new lands. One uses the nearby resources to its fullest extent, before shortly leaving to find more. It is the same with any wanderer on the internet. One constantly searches for new sources of entertainment, to get rid of this boredom. Some find fertile land and learn to farm, though some continue to search for new lands, like a nomad.
Well, that was a poor attempt at an analogy. Well, to get things straight, I'm leaving. Not like it matters, anyway. My disappearance would help preserve the already scarce energy within the universe, carefully maintained by the incubators.
So, eh- the true purpose of this thread isn't to announce my leaving, which I can do quietly, but to leave just a few words. Announcing my disappearance is just a consequence of leaving my last words, after all.
Sure, I say a few but everyone would realise that this would be a relatively lengthy message.
Now, how I ventured into Fuwanovel? I don't remember. I was sure I was reverse-searching a certain CG, and I ended up here. Fuwa didn't really interest me all that much, though. I made an account since I wanted to mess around the former Games and Chatter forum (Now replaced by the highly inferior Coliseum of Chatter).
I eventually found myself in a certain roleplaying site, and met its eccentric leader and her staff, whom I enjoyed being with. It was fun while it lasted, certainly. It was such a shame. After its disappearance, I returned to Fuwa- which was as stagnant as ever. Nothing changed between those months of inactivity (Well, I did notice the missing torrents).
Since I've never really gotten interest in visual novels, I remained in the Coliseum, waiting for people to fight. It was then that the FuwaChat had appeared, which was disastrous. Still, it did its purpose. By then, I was able to fight people directly, in real time, rather than wait for each post. It was a good addition, and I gladly abused my moderation powers to their fullest extent.
And thus, that's the summary of what I did on Fuwa. It was 10% contributing to the community and 90% fighting other people. Time well spent. And thus, I leave you with my final words:
Death to each and everyone one of you.
I mean- eh... my apologies, that was my inner voice talking. I'll voice it a little better. May the rest of your lives be uneventful.
Now, that sounds better, doesn't it?
...
Right... I'm sure you're expecting individual messages as well, so- eh, why not?
I'll leave some messages to the people I've stepped on, spit on, insulted, and fought. I'll also leave some messages to those I messed around with when I was bored.
If you think I forgot to leave a message for you, then you were probably a bunch of lowlives who will never amount to anything.
Well, eh, farewell. I leave you with a top secret image I took from Pyongyang.
It's pretty much been luck for the last couple events and the deck was purposely stacked against us in this one so I don't really see how any other outcome was possible.
Please note that I also changed the way we track contries to be more reliable sometime last week, so US numbers will probably go down; Before it used to track browser languages, now it properly tracks countries -- all browsers with an English language set would get counted for US, now it doesn't anymore. Give it another 2 weeks for us to have more reliable data.
Post your best quality anime screenshots here for everyone to appreciate what true quality animation really is.
(Not restricted to just anime but you get the idea)
For those who don't know what quality is, refer to here.
I am extremely suspicious now of the pretty unbelievable amount of 20's drawn. My drawing is now delayed as I decide if I feel you guys were honest with this.
Development of the project of this thread has started. We are the team called Purple Panda. And our project is an OELVN called "Our Healing Hearts". It will be Kinetic-Choice, in that the story of the canon heroine, Anastasia, will be kinetic. Players will be unable to pick choices to alter who the Player character ends up with. However, choices that change how certain things play out, and how Chase develops as a person (excluding most moral traits) will be available. Players will be able to choices from certain hobbies and interests, to whether or not he is nervous about a presentation.
We have plans to add more playable routes which will be unlocked upon completion of Anastasia's route. These will include Chase's childhood friend, Lilli, and his manager at work, Amy. Potentially, two more routes will be made by pledgers from Kickstarter. However, assuming that one or both offered slots for this chance are not taken, I will develop two more characters myself.
It is a slow going process right now, but we have been actively communicating and working to bring this story to life. Personally, I have been struggling with writer's block, but was able to overcome this for a decent while to write most of the opening sequences. We perceive that development will take several months, but we strive to bring high quality workmanship to you all.
Currently, there is very little completed. However, I am confident that this will change quickly. We will be utilizing two different art styles. One for the character sprites (done by Aviala), and one for the CGs (done by deeyosa).
Here is an almost complete sprite of the canon heroine: Anastasia.
As I said, sprites are being done by Aviala. We have no CG work as of yet, but deeyosa and I have the concept in the works.
Below is a very basic draft of the plot and most of the more important characters.
Our Healing Hearts
Basic Plot
One day, Chase Adam walks home from his part time job at the Movie theater, and crosses the local hospital. There, he is smashed into by Anastasia Wells when she is not paying to where she is going in her wheelchair while playing with her fellow patients. When he gets home, Chase can't stop thinking about the pretty girl he met, and he decides to visit her the next day after work and class. This time, she is in her bed, and she welcomes him warmly, though she is somewhat worried that he will berate her for running into him this time. Chase starts visiting her regularly, and taking her places with the permission of her doctor. As time goes on, all sorts of heartwarming, dramatic, and crazy things happen, and their relationship blossoms, and eventually, romantic feelings are formed. Eventually, the two decide to become a couple. After this goes on for a while, Chase decides to propose to Ana, having decided that she is the girl he wants to be with forever. However, after he gets the ring, he gets an urgent call from the hospital that tells him that Ana's health is failing. He visits her, and succeeds in proposing to her. Ana accepts, and shortly after, passes away with happy tears and a smile on her face. Chase stays with her through the night.
Unbeknownst to Ana, the old man she had helped was her doctor (she had forgotten all about him by now). Late that night, the doctor comes in to Ana's room, and sees Chase (who is asleep) still holding her cold hands. The Doctor reveals himself to be the old man that Ana had helped. Without waking up Chase, the doctor says “In return for your sincere kindness all those years ago, I grant your wish, Little Lady.” A flash of light springs forth, and the doctor disappears. Chase, who was awoken by the light, rubs his eyes sleepily, wiping dried tears away. It is during this time that he feels a soft hand grace his cheek as a quiet voice speaks his name. He looks up, heart pounding, to see Ana sitting up, smiling at him, alive and well.
The “last” episode includes the couple's wedding, and the Epilogue takes place five years later. This shows Chase and Ana's life together. Chase has become a producer like he always wanted (albeit one that hasn't been in charge of his own movie yet, but is well on his way) and Ana has opened her own cafe. The two have a 5 year old daughter, who is seen running around, and stops to hug her parents as they walk together down a path in the park.
Characters
Male Protagonist: Chase Adams – Chase is a twenty-three year old college student majoring in Filmmaking. His dream is to become a producer of movies that will entertain and bring together all who watch them. He has short black hair that is generally messy, blue eyes, and Caucasian skin.
When he was still in highschool, Chase played baseball as part of his school's team. However, falling out of a tall tree when his sister's cat got stuck, Chase injured his leg and can't play baseball regularly anymore. He is capable of jogging and such, but full on sprinting is a no. This plays no effect on his desire for Filmmaking. He had already decided before the injury. He still plays with his friends who are in the College Baseball Team in present days, but he never runs, and only hits the ball, favoring his injured leg.
Personality wise, Chase is passionate in his interests, and does his best to overcome his weaknesses. He does whatever he sets his mind to it, but he only truly succeeds if he gives it his all. Half-heartedness does him no favors. When he's not into something, he usually fails unless given an incentive, at which point, he excels beyond belief. His problem is motivation and inspiration. He has a little sister named Emily, and he cares about her like any older brother would. Of course, he often gets annoyed by her shenanigans.
Female Protagonist: Anastasia “Ana” Wells – Anastasia is twenty-two years old. She has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis , and is unable to move her legs. However, despite this, Ana remains energetic and optimistic, and a smile is always on her face. Ana has green eyes, light skin, and long, dark brown hair that goes down to her waist in the back, and curls around her neck and shoulders in the front. When outside, she likes to wear lightly colored dresses, and a Summer Hat. When she is playing with her friends in the hospital, she's often zooming around in her wheelchair, a hand on her hat to keep it on her head.
Ana's parents died when she was two years old. She only has an old family photo from right before the accdient to remember them by.
When she was younger, Ana helped an old man when she was walking home from the park with her mother (who was actually her Aunt). The old man thanks her and asks her “What is your one big wish, Little Lady?” To this, Ana innocently replied, “I want to be like Mommy!”
Ana has a spunky personality. She is energetic and optimistic, never down for long, and occasionally goes from sad to happy in a split second, catching those around her off guard. She is very protective towards the younger patients in the hospital, and they call her “Big Sis” even though they're not blood related. Interest-wise, Ana enjoys cooking and baking, as well as art crafts. Eventually, she wants to own a small cafe that is decorated with things she made herself.
(Legend: MP = Male Protagonist/FP= Female Protagonist)
MP's Little Sister: Ella Adams – Ella is seventeen years old and a junior in high school. She has long dirty blonde hair that she usually wears in a bushy ponytail. She adores her older brother, but loves to play pranks on him and make him the subject of many misunderstandings. She has something of a two-sided personality because she is the Student Body Vice President at her school and, as a result, acts very serious and strict when on the school grounds or whenever someone from her school is around. Eventually, she gets found out by a fellow student, and struggles to come to turns that no one minds if she acts how she really is. It takes some time, but she ends up becoming comfortable with this, and has more fun at school because of not having to pretend she's “proper and boring” anymore.
Once she learns who Anastasia is, she often pressures Chase into “going for it” in terms of romance. She really wants to see her brother succeed in romance, although she often makes fun of him for it.
MP's Mother: Teresa Adams – Teresa is forty-three years old, but looks like she's half her age. She jokes that her looks are thanks to her family and joyful personality. She has shoulder length black hair with occasional streaks of gray that don't really make her look aged. Like any mother, Teresa is happy when she sees that her children are happy. She loves to tease Chase about his romantic endeavors, often jokingly pressuring him to get a move on finding a girl to “give mama grand kids!” Teresa works as a real estate agent and set Chase up with his apartment, saying that he could live there with minimal rent if he helped keep it in good condition.
Teresa is pretty care-free, and while she does worry about Ella and Chase, she is well aware that they're old enough to make their own choices and supports them in anything they want to do.
MP's Father: James “JimJim” Adams – James is forty-four years old, and has substantially more gray in his short dirty blond hair than his wife, Teresa does. James is a Robotics Technician, helping companies modernize their technology. He likes to watch baseball and was very depressed when Chase got into the accident that prevented him from playing the sport anymore. However, James got over it, and decided to assist Chase in the Filmmaking field, often giving strange advice that causes Chase to question his reasoning for asking his father for advice on a regular basis.
Gruff, yet good-hearted, James has a hard time showing his true feelings, often pulling a very manly “Tsundere” behavior. He shows his love to his family through actions, rather than words.
FP's Aunt: Julia Fields – Anastasia's aunt and legal guardian since Ana's parents are both deceased after a car accident when Ana was very young. Ana considers Julia her mother because she doesn't remember her real parents, though she loves them very much.
Julia has curly shoulder-length dark read hair, and is a fairly rich woman, although her lifestyle doesn't show it. She owns a landscaping company that is in high demand amongst wealthy clients. However, she is quite humble with her wealth, and didn't squander it on a mansion or wait-staff. After meeting Chase for the first time, Julia was very hesitant and distrustful of his intentions, going as far as to threaten him with a scary look and tone in her eyes and voice. However, seeing how happy Chase's visits make Anastasia, Julia warms up to him. Julia is quite flirtatious and often teases Chase (some time after he starts visiting Ana in the hospital) in strange ways. For example, she likes to say that she'll steal him from Ana so he can keep her [Julia] company instead.
MP's Best Friend: Lilli Jayce – Lilli is twenty-three years old, and only two weeks younger than Chase. Chase's family was always neighbor to Lilli and her family as the two grew up. They became quick friends in their earliest years, and grew up as if they were siblings, almost never being apart from one another. Lilli has violet eyes and shiny silver hair that goes halfway down her back. Lilli generally wears her hair in a thick braid, and decorates it with a different flower every day.
Lilli has Aspergers Syndrome. As a result, she is very shy around people other than Chase, his family, and her family. She is also a bit of a savant when it comes to painting. Her paintings are quite popular, but, due to her shyness, no one knows who the artist behind the pictures are, as Lilli uses a “Pen Name” and never shows up personally in her gallery showings. Whilst Lilli didn't think she had any romantic feelings for Chase as they grew up, she comes to realize that she loves him as more than a friend/brother figure once she starts thinking that Anastasia will steal him away from her [Lilli]. Of course, this doesn't come about until Chase and Anastasia develop feelings for each other and make them known.
My sterling piece of advice is "Don't", I do not care if this a theoretical or actual person, no one should be burdened to spend any amount of their precious limited time on the planet Earth with a indvidual such as myself.
