Some speedrun content!

Community No. 6 we partner with, are the folks over at Todokanai Translations. This is the group that brought us the amazing fan translation of White Album 2, a huge and influential drama visual novel by writer Fumiaki Maruto with a legendary status. The game is separated into three major parts: Introductory Chapter, Closing Chapter & Coda. After 10 years of back-and-forth with old team members they eventually got a grip and managed to finish the project on the 22nd of December 2021, short before Christmas that year. They did not only translate the game itself though, but also a wealth of side-materials and they are still working on translating everything. Their current project that's running is to translate the contents of the White Album 2 Mini-After-Story. You can find the progress in this thread!

Nope, only the trailer video there was English dubbed (and quite badly). The game itself is full Japanese dubbed.

Yeah, this is exactly what I mean. Thanks for sharing my sentiment. I heard from rather important people that the guy deserves to be blacklisted everywhere, so I'm quite happy that I am not alone in this regard.

Launch Stream for Spike Chunsoft's NoAH Showcase!

Here we see the new trailer for the double pack. The voice acting really could be better, honestly. Feels a bit lackluster especially when she reads out the titles at the end. But the trailer here starts with the acknowledgement of all the SciADV games in some random order? Like it starts with the newest Anonymous;Code and then shows Occultic;Nine which we have never gotten and is also incomplete. Kinda of strange for a trailer. The song bangs though. You can get the game here on Steam: CHAOS;HEAD NOAH You can get the game here on Switch: CHAOS;HEAD NOAH / CHAOS;CHILD DOUBLE PACK - COMING TO NINTENDO SWITCH™ OCTOBER 7, 2022

More Swedish people (●´ω｀●) @Emi @Zakamutt can soon a Swedish book club! Welcome to Fuwanovel! It's going to take a bit to bring back life into this, but at least we have a team that now cares about growing the place and bringing it back to old levels!

Frankly, there is smth difficult to digest about these remasters. Because it means that the old versions will not be attainable anymore, so fans of vintage games might be left in the dust. You can check this "Delisted Thread" by @Mist Ephemeral about it whenever it happens.

Hi, I saw this was bumped and I have to say this UI for the game is gorgeous. I really love how you hit the sweet-spot between making smth that fits the aesthetic of the game and something really natural looking like old parchment. The font could be a bit more special, but it is probably kept as simple as it is to not bother Dyslexic players. I also like the sprites being a bit more on the hand-drawn side in terms of coloring. I think this will be a good game. I'm currently busy playing some selected spooktober titles, but if I can get some time out of my day I might try this! Edit: Tweeted it out.

Difficult question. Basically Japanese games use an encoding called Shift-JiS which is necessary to show and display Japanese characters. You need an engine or modify an engine to support KOI8-R or UTF+8 character sets. This is quite difficult though. I cannot help you beyond that, you must talk to other people who translate in kyrillic language Just shortly ago there was a project of Yosuga no Sora released on VK, you may ask there? https://vndb.org/r96574

Apparently, today some people got upset that I made an innocent subtweet calling them "makura gatekeepers" celebrating the H2O FanTL which I was extremely sure would be commented on by them. It was @Koyomi_ who did so actually. Obviously, a few people started flocking there again to say how I'm racist and how their place is so much more open than ours. Frankly, I got extremely bored at the exchange and I'm going to suggest not talking about them again in public. In the end we should be working on our own microcosms and make them as a great as possible for the community to benefit from them. Even if they think I'm some boogieman nazi groomer community overlord that wants to spam people with his "ego" then that doesn't mean I don't appreciate their community building efforts. So yeah, this is the last negative word I will lose about Keromakura's Community called Moekko and their users: You suck, but I still appreciate what you are doing.

@Artikash hey Mr. Textractor, could you please help our friend?

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Let's gooooooooo!!

Oh hiya Pomelo! Fancy seeing you here! Great you helped on this and great that it helped you into the Industry. Since I know where you work now would you DM me a smol image of your company logo you are affiliated with so I can add the flair to your name? Would be much appreciated! Congratz for the release anyways!

@marcus-betaYeah, we might need you here. This is reversing stuff :v

It was recently announced that a big Japanese publisher will be bought by someone. Well, it turns out that it was FROMSOFTWARE, better known as the Souls-Game Creators. Well, it is a 30% shares purchase by both Tencent and SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT. It's not good imo.

Wait, you are listing them all here? Where do you get the information from? Is there smth like a spreadsheet with dates? If no, there should be

You're linking to a sus site in that post even though it is just a patch. Are you sure r/vns allows it? Maybe you should upload the patch someone else or in a google drive? Anyways, big thanks for finishing this thing. Many people will probably appreciate and play it. Edit: The link links straight to the file and not to the site so I think it should be ok.... Consider an url shortener of sorts maybe.

As long as they finally begin working on their backlog and start translating the Feng games I'm happy with Sekai!

Canceling attempts were going on. If you like you can watch 34 minutes of explanation about the false snake I mention in this blogpost here.

Hello, Fuwanovellers who read my blog. So it has been a whole month since we started the Fuwanovel revival as intensively as we do it right now and so many amazing, but also some frustrating things happened. The peak of frustration obviously is the occasional interference by third parties (mostly the Gambs-adjacent circle) into our affairs who for some reason presume we are either deceitful or harmful to the community as a whole due to taking some things out of context - as usual. They also seem to have some obsession with the algorithm of Twitter. Whatever, I know what I'm doing and what intentions lie beneath what I do. Those people involved in the process or who know me longer than 5 minutes also do. Even if we consider all things and assume malice in everything I do, people cannot deny that I'm putting a lot of time, effort and typing time into getting everything in line. Anyways, whatever happened yesterday and also happens with the gambsbot and gambs_v_cumtannia accounts is nothing more than a tempest in a teapot. While the hata last year would have been shaking and quaking right now, the 2022-freshly recovered one is calm and collected. Now let's get to the positives. Fuwanovel has managed to bring a lot of cool people on board including old veteran posters, many new ones and also content creators. In this first month there was basically almost no moderation necessary as well, since there are not that many frequent posters yet and thus the amount of cognitively dissonant posters is also low. This might change in the future, but we'll see what the next steps will be afterwards. In real life we are currently pursuing talks about a Logo for Mimir Translations, and we're soon ready to launch the website as a whole. The German industry will finally have a dedicated VN translation group and not just individuals who do developers a favor. Obviously, this is a business and we have the necessary professionality in place. Additionally, we would need to build another social media account - leading to me running 4 of them + my own! I'm super glad about the friends that we could make/bring together through Fuwanovel and how I could diminish a large amount of my friendlist for more relevant people. I have 1000 friends as you may have seen in an earlier post, but this does not mean that every single of these account is either VN-related nor that we are still talking frequently. I simply find it tiring to clean up, especially because once you remove a single person the discord window closes for a sec and you have to scroll down again - boring and repetitive tasks are nothing for me. The Fuwanovel discord has quickly developed into a place that I cherish as much as VN.Info's Hub. Maybe even more because so far the amount of politics and history talks that were so aggressively prevelant in VN.Info Hub's #general chat, are really low. This is not a signal to start up those talks again, however! Lastly, I'm glad for the partnerships we have been able to quickly forge and the secret cabal discord chats were we plan pouring over the entire visual novel scene with peace and harmony. While meta talks about "wokism" are in vogue in multiple places of the community right now (1/2) we will just talk about VNs instead. Seems to be a better deal for everyone.
