    Ramaladni reacted to fujoneko in Looking for something somewhat specific   
    I would recommend Little Busters, but I'd also warn you that you are better off playing the original all-ages version haha I had the pleasure of working on the translation project of it to Brazilian Portuguese and it was the best two years I had translating!  it's available on steam (I would wait for a sale tho)
    Besides that, let's see... I'm not that into romance, but I'd also recommend Mystic Messenger if you are into otome stuff (it's all-ages, but it's very good plot-wise)! It's an android exclusive but it's pretty much free and it has a cool kind of mechanic.
    That's it, I won't recommend vns I haven't played yet but I hope other peeps help  
    GOOD LUCK!

    Unfortunately, risk of disappointment--or even project implosion--is part of the crowdfunding experience.
    Never back more than you're willing to see disappear with nothing to show for it. Don't back companies you don't trust. Don't back with any expectation of timelines being met or delays being properly communicated. Companies have no obligation to refund your money if you aren't satisfied.  If you have concerns about any of the above, you shouldn't be pledging in the first place.
    That said, clearly Sol Press is in pretty dire straits if a few thousand dollars is more important to them than their company's reputation.  It sounds like their main concern right now is stopping the bleeding rather than long-term health.

    I miss the old Zaka, the 'I translate one line per month' Zaka, the 'I will never finish any project I work on' Zaka, the JOP who didn't bow to EOPs Zaka. I miss him, I really do.

    The Harisenbois are delighted to present you with a full patch for Shinobi Harisenbo, a short otomege about a princess and her loyal shinobi (tl note: ninja) set in the Sengoku Era. Beset by an apparition that will kill her if she speaks untruth, can our princess at last tell her shinobi how she really feels?

    Ramaladni reacted to Zakamutt in Mahoyo Translation overview podcast w/ Zaka's Mutts   
    Have you ever wondered just how many Mahoyo translation projects there were? And if any of them were any good? And would you like me to marry your sister?
    If you answered yes to just one of those questions, you're going to love this podcast, which features a light-hearted deep dive into every project except the new French one because we recorded it like 3 months ago. Fuck! Oh well there's a picture referencing it and our general opinion (it's probably gonna be shit) so whatever. Oh, and there's some high level opening and ending videos. Plus autism. Large amounts of autism. Holy shit.
    The actual host isn't me, but that's an unimportant detail.

    They also handled QA, and were directly involved in making the license deals. They were the ones speaking with Harukaze about the English version. So they absolutely could have changed things like censorship, had they actually tried.

    Ramaladni got a reaction from Selebus in Nothing is Beautiful. ~ Demo Release/Announcement (Psychological/Drama/Romance)   
    Will just leave this here:

    I read this with @Zakamutt, and it was pretty fun for the both of us. It was entertaining enough to make for a pleasant evening. As you may be able to gauge from his response, he quite enjoyed it. The game is more serious than what it first might seem to be. I'd be interested in the full version but I wonder if the humor would stay as funny if the game were several hours long. The game becomes so self-referential that sometimes you can predict what's coming next. Just about as often as I have no idea what could come next, mind you.
    Aside from that, I'd like to point out a few issues (only like 4 sentences). For example, "for for", lay instead of lie (incorrect usage), the one line about the wincing door (feels slightly odd) and some other line that should've been in past tense (I think the verb was...remain?). Oh, and make sure to use em dash instead of en dash — it looks way better. I'd also considering toning down their usage, or they lose their oomph.
    God is dead but he left us this visual novel.

    Well, you are looking for something rather specific, there are still a lot of choices though, but they can feel kinda samey really quickly.
    Just saying you're gonna run into a lot of childhood friends overcoming their initial hesitation to deepen an otherwise satisfying relationship, (non-) blood-related little sisters overcoming that taboo, unapproachable rich girls with a secret talent/hobby, bonus points for unreasonable parents and super approachable good girls with twisted family situations and/or issues with classmates who vie for your attention, while being at a recently coed school or attending a niche club.
    I tend to read them in moderation instead of succession, every once in a while it feels sweet, but they can quickly get boring if stories feel too much alike with color swipes of the characters. It's also a bit difficult to draw a clear line between what would be happy happy or a sad happy ending, is it sad happy when characters take 4 years to see each other again and all you get treated to is another 10 lines of dialogue before the credits roll? But I digress.
    Anyway, have some that might suit you.
    Dracu riot https://vndb.org/v8213 Liked the setting, pretty much urban fantasy with vampires, what could go wrong.
    Koi choco https://vndb.org/v4028 Picked that one up because of the anime, pretty solid writing and enjoyable character interaction even besides the protagonist. It's also pretty much the baseline between drama/romance/plot these VNs usually have.
    Devil on G String https://vndb.org/v211 A bit more of a thrillride, the heroines clearly get uneven amounts of attention as intended with a clear true route. Still a satisfying read for me.
    Harukoi Otome https://vndb.org/v979 More on the dramatic side when the endings approach, wrapped up with happy endings if you choose well.
    Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai https://vndb.org/v8158 Great characters, funny, the bumps in the road are very minor, great pick-me-up when you want something lighthearted.
     
    Tried to post some examples from different sides of the spectrum that should still fall into your search criteria.

    DOWNLOAD: https://djnostyle.itch.io/nothing-is-beautiful
    VNDB: https://vndb.org/v26715
    This is the story of a girl who loves whales and a boy who eats too much candy.
    "What will happen to us in the summer?"
    A simple question from a simple girl -- but one that Yuu is unable to answer. 
    Cursed with a severe case of psychosis at birth, Yuu sees and hears things that no one else can.  
    These delusions, which come in waves brought on by the weight of God and past traumas, turn his daily life into an endless struggle toward normalcy. 
    The game takes place over a two-week period at the end of high school. 
    Please live a beautiful life.
    God is watching.
    Amen.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hey, everyone! Please check out Nothing is Beautiful.
    It's a psychological drama I'm writing and producing entirely on my own.
    Every asset in this game is royalty-free and, as such, the full game will be free as well upon release.
    Right now, the demo covers the first day of a two-week period.
    Please be advised, this game does have several dark themes and deals heavily with the impact of religion on the human psyche.
    If you have an issue with that, I completely understand and hold nothing against you.
    I do, however, hope that those of you who aren't put off by this enjoy the world I have created.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    HEROINES: (All designed by Liah)
    Saki

    Your childhood friend and source of free food and laundry.
    She is very kind and loves whales.
    Please be nice to her. She is very sad.
    Reina

    Your classmate.
    You used to be close, but you stopped hanging out with her for some reason.
    You don't know why.
    Her three sizes are 89/61/88 and she loves horror movies.
    Miu

    Your kouhai.
    She will act brave. She is lying.
    Do not love her until she learns to love herself.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    There is no planned release date for the full project as of yet, but I'll continue working hard to 
    deliver a very memorable experience. Thanks for reading!

    Ramaladni reacted to ChaosRaven in Aokana Release by Nekonyan [UPDATED]   
    Then you certainly didn't play much: Princess Evangile, Little Busters, Majikoi, Walkure Romanze, Flowers, 9-Nine series, Tsuriotsu, Shuffle, Akatsuki no Goei, Reminiscence, etc. just to name a few.
    And I guess lots of Illyasviel fans would burn you on a stake for denying her main heroine status in Fate/Stay Night just because she doesn't have her own route - she *only* has several anime series for herself. And Inui Sana from Mashiro no Symphony got her own route after she won the official (!!!) character poll.
    And just to put things clear, I personally will comment about ANY character of a VN that pleases me, even if he or she doesn't even have a sprite or a text line. If a side character gets mentioned a lot in a positive context, it means that the developers did a good job for the support cast so there's a definite meaning behind it. Naturally, the same also applies reversed for a negative context as well.
