tankhedgehog reacted to Nosebleed in What is your ideal VN?
This
And aside from that
1 Cute characters
2 Slice of life
3 Comedy
4 School setting
5 A lot of romance and drama
6 Lolis
7 Some supernatural elements
8 An Imouto character (don't care if blood related or not) preferably if they're lolis!
9 A lot of heroines, not just a couple of them, and with some deep back story to them
10 Great art
11 Doesn't get tedious midway, there's always something you want to keep finding out as you read
12 Has other things to do besides reading , like mini games
13 Has good voice acting, preferably fully voiced
14 Choices shouldn't be THAT obvious and in your face (eg: Pick This for ending 1 or That for ending 2)
I guess that describes it.

tankhedgehog reacted to Steve in Are routes necessary?
Wait a moment, mass effect has multiple endings!?!?!?
A game that is a little close to how visual novels can tell multiple stories might be Witcher 2, you make a decision at a certain point and the game is completely different, in different zones etc, so there are basically 2 routes in there. That is meaningful choice, not what they offer in other games.
Some games at least offer you a decision close to the ending, whether it is like in KOTOR 1, or only a button press like in Deus Ex, but what I would like to see are decisions in games that change the game in half and then offer you another 10 or 15 hours of unique story for each decision, just like VNs do.
And as for linear plot, why not, there is tons of games like that already, just look at most of the games in last 5 years or so, it is linear plot with cutscenes and other cinematics. What we are lacking is game with meaningfull choices, not just offer illusion of choice like games often do.
As for visual novels, I like kinetic novels too (planetarian, rin ga utau etc), they are awesome but they are different from multiple route VNs, the way they feel is different and that's why it is good to have both, choosing a girl isn't just about wanting to romance her, it is trying to explore and investigate her world, her problems and experience an unique story with her, its very much about the character development inside and then you see how she changes or how even the protagonist changes.
That's why in the Kinetic Novels I played there is only 1 heroine you, because it would be extremely hard to explore the character of multiple heroines in linear story, what would you do, break up with the previous one? Or just not be as close to her and still help her, but then you wouldn't see so much inside her.
If you played Hoshimemo, imagine Mokoko (komomo ;P) route like that, how would you solve her problem without making her dere from tsun first.
Or in little busters how would you solve Mio's problem without getting this close to her.
There certainly is a possibility to do this but I think this replaying the game for unique story not affected by the endings of previous stories works very well and for linear stories, single heroine works the best.

tankhedgehog reacted to meru in H-Scenes. Really necessary?
Personally, I play a lot of visual novels specifically for the H-scenes. I like quite cutesy stuff, so I'm glad that there are cute, sugary vn with sex scenes in, rather than just having the hardcore stuff to choose from. I also like to get to 'know' a character before the sex - what can I say, I guess I'm just an ol' romantic - so I also like having the sex scenes anchored in some kind of story.
On the other hand, I also love a good plot, and I have had times when I've really been jolted out of it by a random H-scene that seems thrown in just for the sake of it. For example, I'm currently playing Kara no Shoujo, and am totally invested in the mysteries and how the story might turn out. The H-scenes so far have added nothing to the story, and I've just clicked through them to get back to the main point.
So, I guess I do have an issue with H-scenes that are just there for the sake of it. It would be nice if works with a genuine story to tell didn't feel they had to have sex in them to sell. I actually think it's a great idea when studios such as Key do all-ages and adult versions of their games.

I dont like this - this project was about translation Miyako in the first place.
Anything else was supposed to be just a pleasant bonus, nothing more.

You are Canadian ;p
Thats alone tells how "dangerous" you are ;p
And about Archery ? Do you practice European archery? modern Archery ? or Japanese Archery ?
I planned to by Japanese Bow one day but I doubt I have necesery means to maintain it and utilise it in my neighbourhood. Plus it cost like 1000€.
But At the very least I have my trustworthy Dynasty Forge Musha Katana witch I practice with evry second day for a few years now ; )
I probably need some more time practicing before I chellange Mayuzumi tho ...
* no ofence Just repeating jokes Americans have about Canadians - at the very least you cant be less warlike than French ;p

tankhedgehog got a reaction from AkkisBlade in Unlimited Chat Works - Random Talk
i did not know about this, thank you! i know he said he would finish it if he couldn't find a replacement but i thought he had just dropped it instead. i still have my save (just like my miyako save) sitting in miu's route right before the translated part ends
Sachi <3
as previously stated, the route you are referring to was the sachi route (which is excellent), however let me just take this opportunity to support the Michiru route because it seems like she doesn't have many fans here. When i played through her route, I was impressed by how sweet of a girl she is. probably one of the sweetest characters I've seen
Edit: also makina's bad end surprised me (since i hadn't realized i accidently chose the bad end) and was pretty messed up. although i haven't seen the bad ends in the other routes (yes i know that there are important plot points in them, i just can't bring myself to put the girls through that) so i can't really compare them

tankhedgehog reacted to Rin91 in Unlimited Chat Works - Random Talk
If you check out Insem's twitter you'll see that he posted "2301/10474/45135/53707" on the 15th. 53707 is Dracu Riot's total line count, 45135 is total lines translated, 10474 is Miu route line count and 2301 is currently translated lines. He won't say anything since people are bothering him but he is in fact still translating the final route. Which is exactly what he said he would do if he couldn't find anyone else to do it before the end of 2013.
