[How old is "old" for a VN?]

I have no real age limit. Graphics can make a game feel older, but i've played enough indie games to desensitize myself to that.

I read the pre-2000 rance series games translated to english. Kichikou rance was a fun experience. The others not as much but still playable.

[Do you believe in VNs?]

I've always thought it a bit dangerous to try to "learn" from fiction just because what happens in a story can be so different from real life.

You might have to unlearn it again just because the author was clueless/dishonest/just writing a beautiful story without trying to be realistic/etc.

[games where only the SCharacter gets a route]

How about https://vndb.org/v15473

Only 2 out of 5 girls on the cover have routes. You can pick side characters outside the "harem" sitting around in your house.

[Why do Visual Novels cost so much?]

There's also market saturation to consider. The first sakura game sold a lot more than later ones did (according to http://steamspy.com). Pretty sure it's the same for nekopara.

The danger with episodic game releases is that your sales might collapse completely for part 2 when you don't have that new and interesting factor giving you publicity.
And of course if someone still has your first game on their ever expanding backlog they might not buy the second until they do manage to finish it.

Is there a way to tell what skills work while in reserve?

VNs ftw because they hold nothing back and aren't afraid to show exposed tits or pussy.

Have you read so many VNs your brain is automatically filling in the pixel censored blanks?

[Bunny Black renown hacking question]

No idea, but it's not like you have to max out renown. Think I was at least 2 ranks away from king when I completed the game.

I think too much endearment is bad. There's this thing called "trust" after all, and if you don't have any of that in romance, then you should grow like an old hag for the rest of your life, alone.

Like I would want my boyfriend to give me some space every now and then, not cuddle me like a pillow all the time. It's OK to feel jealous but getting jealous at stupid things like your significant other merely talking to others of the opposite sex and nothing else, then it's almost like you shackled yourself and them with your pathetic jealousy.
