Maybe it had something to do with the site going offline (the so called fuwapocalypse 3.0) and then restored from a backup, the latest changes were probably not backed up.
As with other not so stable VNs I'll give you the sanity survival tricks:
Save, save, save, after every choice
Be careful with the skips
When it crashes, don't skip where it crashed, take it slow just there, maybe quick-save last remembered lines before it crashed.
These tricks has to be used in some VNs the programmers have made a bad work, also one should try to search for latest patch for VNs with known problem.
I remember kimi-nozo sometimes crashed for no apparent reason also. It also goes into a "secure mode" when it is restarted after a crash where you have to reactivate the sound. This was back in xp so I don't think it's something special for windows 8.
Oh, Tenshin Ranman, I've read it too, really good.
Just love the 生物 joke. I mean the one where Ruri arrives in a box and they think it's raw meat because raw-meat is spelled the same way as living creature. (\^∆^/)
I'm sure you'll like this place, if you're crazy good in osu! you might dare to post in the osu! contest thread.
In either case enjoy your stay here, and read more VNs.
I like that you want to write a VN, I don't have that talent but wish you good luck.
You know many VN-studios started out as simply a group of a writer/programmer and a image guy, so give it your best and if you want a programmer I can create a VN engine (that is if you don't want to use renpy or other free tools).
Yep, soon it will be a year since I registered on the forums - in 9 hours from now I will already have had my first post a year ago - this wall of text introduction post. Now that I read it again... nothing really changed with me xD, I still have my hentai-bed and I still love Mare and lolis.
But what I didn't know back then is how well I will be received on the forums and how quickly I will make it my new home. And by home I literally mean home, some of you who know me better will know that I don't really have "real life", I even said that in the intro post but it is quite true, my life is on the internet - and there I always had a home. Whether it was private server forum in the days of early wow, guild forum in the days of burning crusade on blizzard server, guild forum for the best TERA online guild Elin Dance Squad or pso-world team forum. But this was all after I quit wow, it was after our EDS TERA guild split to US/EU thanks to bad decision from the publisher, after I quit pso2 after a decision to merge with another team (only to return later to start my very own best team in pso2 ロリコンでも恋がしたい )...
So I literally didn't have a place to be, to express myself with my tldr posts. So I was thinking, what I like the most now - the answer was VNs, after I fell in love with Mare, I didn't think about anything else, looking up translations I am looking forward to, checking VN aer blog and all that.
And that was when I decided to try to find people with similar tastes to that. I knew about various forums, hongfire, vndb, etc - but those just didn't look like I would fit it or more like I didn't feel I wanted to fit in. Instead I went with what I knew well, Aaeru and her blog (it took me like 3 months on the forums to actually figure out that Aaeru is female xD so maybe I didn't know her that well xD) were the biggest source of information about VNs I was following at the time and I agreed with Aaeru on so many topics, copyright protests, prepatched games, not caring about what others think too much. So I tried it, registered and tried to talk about some lolis and VNs...
And here I am today, still taking about lolis and VNs, posting tldrs and just having so much fun with the great people we have here. Fuwanovel literally became my new home on the internet, the first website I check after I launch Firefox.
So homely that I was able to express even my initiative, trying to direct translation for my most wanted game Eternal Heart so the world of non-Japanese speakers can finally receive what it deserves - UNLIMITED MARE.
I was eventually able to get some fuwa people on my TS3 server (where if you want to come you should definitely use Mare Theme now version 1.1!!!). Even the almighty Archmage Tay shows in there once in a while (although I was never able to get Aaeru there xD).
I was even received so well here that I got offered a moderator role with words "continue doing what you're doing" - so I started posting even MORE LOLIS as I accepted to be the Loli Moderator.
And again, here I am today, after a great year with great people, thinking back if there is something I should have done differently, not finding anything. This was one of the best decisions I made, registering here, and I shall never regret it~
And so before I post my final loli for this post, I would like to express my gratitude so some people.
Biggest thanks would go to Tay who has been the greatest admin fuwanovel could ask for and an awesome friend who always took time to care.
To Ryoji who even through his health problems was irreplaceable help to the whole community and a good friend who wants everyone to be happy, thus sharing same vision I do.
To Batman, the hardest to teach student of loli ways (it might take years but one day... one day...) and also my biggest adversary here, who would never give me anything without a fair fight.
And of course to Aaeru who created this great website so we together can create this great community and who helped me in many ways as well.
And to all others who has been a great people to talk to about all kinds of stuff, from copyright issues to game development, through starcraft and VN hacking, lolis, moe and all that. You know very well who you are (I originally started listing people but then when writing the next part I remembered someone else who belonged here and as I didn't want to risk missing someone else, I just deleted the list and rewritten to this part xD).
And also thanks to all the people I didn't have much talks or dealings with yet but are great help to the community and website like Nayleen and Naomi, I am sure that in the following year we will talk to each other much more~
And final thanks to everyone who read this whole thing, although I have a feeling they already belong to one of the categories above - but if not and you are some new member trying to know more about me - well now you should know enough so start posting more so I can get to know YOU.
And with that... the winter is coming (it actually did snow a bit few days ago already but its gone again) so I have one very special Einhart for you - I was actually saving this picture to be posted in Fuwanovel 2013 x-mas thread and I was going to post some picture of Mare in this thread, but there hasn't been a new originally drawn picture of Mare in months (basically since her birthday- and I check every day) so I don't have anything that I didn't post already.
So there you go!
If you think about it a little, this picture represents the future of Fuwanovel - winter will come, we might need protection from the cold as sometimes days are already getting bellow 0 temperature here, we might find ourselves confused and unable to solve the situation... but with the power of love and friendship we can always solve every problem to the point where other communities will view it as magic of some sorts... And also there will always be a loli waiting for us...
So I hope my second year here will be at least as good as the first one, and thus I plea to all of you who came after me - try to be kind to each other, respectful, have fun and be happy - maybe even you can then look back after your first year here and have no regrets and just good memories. Because that's how it should be~
They really used how the the human ear's sense of sound localization works. If the delay between right and left ear is about what it takes for sound to travel that way we percept the sound to come from left. That's how surround illusion works, if it's shorter it's from behind or in front. More info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization for the interested ones.
Aoba Ringo * imouto * loli that's like perfection, nice review site you have there.
I try to read vns with all the time I get, I have also moved on onto reading in Japanese with some help and try to read newer material, I think your reviews will become handy.
