    The Pigeon VN Did It

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Right, so now we have birds down, and there's also that humanoid-insect game that turned up on the other thread, and I also remember there was some other VN that let you date fruit and vegetables. Excellent, the list is getting smaller, but there are still some things that you still need to let us be able to virtually date, VN developers.  -_-

     

    Here are some other creatures/objects/entities you still need to add: 

    -Cars

    -Flowers

    -Foxes

    -Computers

    -Yourself

    -Tables

    -Nuclear bombs

    -Santa Clause

    -The president of the US

    -North Korea (The country itself, not people from North Korea)

    -Space-Time

    -"The Void"

    -Last but not least: a game that makes the user go and meet some people that don't run on batteries.

     

    The President of the United States (of Nippon). CHECK.

    VNDB Length correction?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Perhaps I misused the bayesian terminology, sorry.

     

    I meant that every user has a bias weight calculated from his average deviation on the length estimates.

    And then the resulting estimate is the average of vote*weight.

     

    Of course it won't correct bad estimates made on just one user making that estimate (no other estimates by that user and no one else estimating that VN).

    But this problem exists already today, since the length estimate currently is the estimate one person makes.

     

    Zakamutt has a good point that we'll get more unexperienced estimators if it becomes easier to estimate. Perhaps the weighted length estimate can live parallel with the old estimate, like the ratings.

    Perhaps they should do like they do with the Bayesian rating. Let people write their length-estimations and those that on average rates the same VNs as longer than others will have their length-estimates weighted downwards.

     

    This is an well-behaving statistical estimate that is widely used, as long as enough users write length-estimates it will work without using even more statistical "magic".

    Well it's good to have some reference about the length, I prefer medium and longer because I honestly feel many shorter ones are either rushed or contain too little story and development. Of course there are exceptions to this.

     

    I don't use vndb that much for choosing VNs, but it's good as reference once you find something interesting, primarily the tags.

     

    When I see Very Long I used to expect a length like a VN with long common-route and more than five long character-routes.

    With medium I used to expect like an average linear-plot one with around five side routes. Or a long common route with shorter character routes.

     

    Today I don't expect anything from it.

    I take the length thing on VNDB with a pinch of salt.

    I can't find how for example Clover Day's is regarded as Very Long and then Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai is only Long.

     

    Wouldn't it be faster and more accurate to measure the length of the text scripts than using the auto-function, or is it a problem with separating the text from the game? The file size should be a good approximation if same encoding is used, if the game doesn't use stupid character-caching, I've seriously only seen one VN doing that shit.

    ｆｕｗａｎｏｖｅｌへようこそ！

     

    I'm actually also reading cocoro@function at the moment.

    The Grisaia series is probably the best out of what I have managed to read up to today. If you haven't read the sequels I highly encourage you to do so.

     

    Lastly, enjoy your stay here.

    Hi, welcome to fuwanovel!

     

    Well I've read VNs for years (I read untranslated ones), so I'm quite accustomed to the cultural differences that show up in them.

    I've read some of the VNs in your list you posted here and I am interested in reading many of the rest.

     

    Well, enjoy your stay here.

    Translating: Is it ok to cut H scenes?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    That is not the same and you know that. Ending is important part of every story, H on the other hand is just fan service for perverts.

     

    And yes, I would say that company does force authors to add H a lot of times otherwise they wouldn't be so forced at the story so many times.

     

    And no If you remove H it doesn't affect the rest of the story the only thing its affect is satisfaction of people against H and dissatisfaction of perverts who want H.

     

    That H doesn't affect the story might be true for some or many VNs. However not all, and it's a subjective opinion that will split the audience.

     

    We know how it went for the selective translation of Kono Oozora, quite a few felt the left-out H scenes mattered.

    First VN opening?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    I've been pondering on this questing for a couple of days.

       Which was the first VN to be released with an opening movie?

    And as a bonus question which do you think was most "revolutionary" for its time?

     

    I've dug up some pre millennium ones (very incomplete list).
