Hello!
We've updated our builds to v0.9.5! This fixes the awful in-game loading and initialization time present in prior builds!

Hey guys!
Version v0.6.5 is here and the 7th character route is now open! (Up to chapter 2 in the demo build). This is the shy girl update
All platform versions for patrons and demo builds have been updated and are available in our Patreon page. This includes Android builds.

WHAT'S NEW!
- NEW! 4th character route finished!  Exclusive to patrons! (Only up to chapter 4 in the free demo version for now)
- NEW! More music Added!
- NEW! Updated Mie's first SE.
- NEW! Multilingual support added. (No languages added yet.)
- NEW! Virtual keyboard updated!
- NEW! Longer dialog text supported.
- BUG FIX! Something about game variable values being carried over on load/new game after another game session when they're not supposed to.
NOTES ABOUT THIS UPDATE:
The Virtual Keyboard: It's now a QWERTY type. It should be much easier to use now. You can still type using your physical keyboard. There's now a Shift button, that works as a toggle to enter capitalized letters. Enter is now a down arrow, located at the bottom right, which hides the keyboard. You can still move around keyboard by pressing the cross arrow, now located on the upper right. And that's about it. It should be easier to type with this thing now. Buttons have been shrunk btw, so let me know how it goes if you're using a phone or tablet.
Multi-Language Support: It's now here too. But don't expect anything yet, as there's no other language available to display yet. We're talking with a fan translation group at the moment and we'll tell you guys more about it on a later post :).
All New Animated CGs are Shaded: This including Mie's new and improved BJ scene. Dialog and choices have been updated as well. And let me know what you guys thing of that X-ray thing ;). In the next update, we'll try to shade the other animated CGs we've got. Oh and the background characters have also been shaded - so they won't look too out of place this time around.
As always, if you spot any weird bugs and stuff, let us know and we'll investigate it!
 

If you have second hand or refurbished parts available to you, that can probably save you some dough? If you've got a broken GPU, it's time a good time to upgrade to a GTX 1060/1070/1080.
If there's really no power going to the board, you can try looking for popped or about-to-pop capacitors to see if it's your mobo.
You can also try stripping to barebones (mobo, built-in IGP or GPU, and RAM) and start diagnosing from there. But you'll need a small piezo buzzer speaker connected to your board to hear the beeps?

I'd talk about the H. Not because I have any preference for it myself, as I tend to find the combination kinda annoying and would rather my story-focused VNs have only story and my H games to have overwhelming quantities of  H, but because of the stigma kinda attached to sex scenes.
The reasoning behind it is that if you talk about your game's great story and say that it also has H, presumably the story-focused crowd won't want to have that much to do with it, since they probably just have better options. Selling story is tough. The H might actually be a minus for a lot of people, and even if it's not, it doesn't actually grant you any edge here.
If you sell the H first, then I think people will get interested if they think your heroines are cute no matter what, and I think that's probably safer and will be better for you.
Still, this is all speculation and I could be way off the mark and all that stuff.

Who knows.... Fuhahahaha! 

I don't know why but for some reason your avatar seems to always draw my attention when browsing the forums, I see it's from a VN you are developing ... I guess that's because people here mostly use anime style avatars and yours somehow stands out for me xD Anyway, welcome to Fuwa and hope you have a good time here Also, best of luck on your project

lol! I took my pills, my resistance to darkness is high!

Haha! You mean the dark-er side of the Internet?

Such Hello!
Forgot there was an introductory thingy here. I'm BeerBrew, one of the guys @ PaperWaifu, I'm here, I make VNs, and we're making Ramen no Oujisama happen. My sig will point you to the right direction ;).
I do practically everything including the toilet maintenance *sigh*, but no stories, that's Sharkie's job - I touch that and that monster'll take a bite out of me lol!
Howdy folks

lol! I took my pills, my resistance to darkness is high!

Hello and welcome to Fuwa, hope you know what you're getting into  
Best of luck with your project and see you around.
 

Ok. Whew! Much approve!
But if a trap is a cute little kid, I don't mind squishing him (or her) with hugs!

Best girl, mind you.
 

I'm pretty sure i'll win against her! 

Just what the title says. The story goes below:
 

Hey everyone,
 
Here is a thread to discuss and reveal some of your deepest confessions about Fuwanovel and/or any other Japanese related things.
 
My confession: For the longest time, I thought our friendly member suikashoujo was a man, and then I heard her sing.
