    ztrepzilius reacted to sanahtlig in Opinions on localizing/translating Visual Novel titles   
    Seems like it's common nowadays to combine parts of the Japanese title with an English subtitle so both fans and newcomers can easily identify it.  One of the most important aspects of a title is its SEO; if the title uses a common phrase, it becomes hard to find related content in search engines.  Throwing in some simple Japanese or abbreviation of Japanese helps to make it more unique and memorable.

    ztrepzilius reacted to Plk_Lesiak in Superhero genre suggestions.   
    Superheroes, in the strict sense of the word, are not really a thing in VNs... There are some exceptions though, Dengeki Stryker probably being the most notable one - it's currently heavily discounted on both Steam and MG store. Another outlier is Trample on Shatten!!, but I mostly heard bad things about it.
    There's a cool freeware VN called Scrambled: Syd City which all revolves around low-level superheroes - a borderline parody of the genre, but with quite an interesting story.

    I'm not aware of any VNs about superheroes. So I'll list some "chuuni" VNs, that have a lot of action....
    * Sorcery Jokers . Magic users (like a steampunk JRPG) in an urban fantasy setting.
    * Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michiru . A magical girl spinoff of the Grisaia series.
    * Muv-Luv Trilogy. Goes from happy and fluffy slice of life ...... to mech combat against an alien invasion. Emotional feels and trauma galore.....
     
    Other Chuuni VNs I havn't read, but are on my future read list....
    * Dengeki Stryker
    * The Shadows of Pygmalion
    * Tokyo Babel
    * Fatal Twelve

    1. "Blank state" protagonist (dull personality with being voiceless and faceless).
    2. School settings. I am fine with university or college.

    Virgin Sex. I understand some, or even most heroines in the story being virgins and that fact having some story relevance, but the way it is fetishized in eroge is fucking gross, on a few levels.

    ztrepzilius reacted to Formlose Gestalt in Light's parent company is gone   
    Light just posted this link on twitter:
    http://www.light.gr.jp/important/index.html
    Google Translate says that Lights' parent company Greenwood Co., Ltd. is dissolving and Light is effectively gone.
    The Silvario Team is apparently preparing their next game under a different company.
     
    Right now I am a bit shell-shocked. This is really sad news. ;_;

    Not necessary for short or kinetic VNs. Some VNs have flowchart unless they are misleading. I think walkthroughs are useful for gameplay VNs which requires certain skills to unlock all story/cgs.

    Occasionally around evening to midnight but afternoon on weekends.

    Like food, please don't consume VNs after midnight

    Some companies used Kickstarter to fund physical merchandise rather than creation of the game or localization like Frontwing. Nekonyan is contemplating whether to use crowdfunding for physical like them.

    How do you react if Truck-kun isekai'd you into another world as your waifu? Husbando is fine too. Somebody might collect merchandise of themselves and cloning to experience true narcissism.

    A pretty random mix of VN addicts from all parts of the medium.  For Japanese untranslated (non-nukige), I'm the one you want to ask.  For EOVNs, probably Plk_Leslak right now.  Feel free to post requests for suggestions in the recommendations section... someone will inevitably bombard you with their favorites.
    Edit: I'm a burnout who has probably played more untranslated Japanese VNs than anyone else on the site.  I won't say that absolutely though, since there are a lot of lurkers and inactives who might have snuck in and played more, lol.

    Hello there, I am Ztrepzilius. Some redditors suggest me to use this forum because reddit filters are more sensitive and comments could be buried in older thread. I spend more time lurking than posting stuffs for any medium, looking for gems in the over-saturated world. I don't consume many VNs in comparison to other medium. It's because there are lack of VNs with storyline that interest me rather than the VN itself. Visual novel reminded me of some point-click-adventure games, movie games and gamebook(choose your own adventure books) I played decades ago. I get introduce into VN medium by anime adaption and some lewd image. 

    BTW, who the hell are you guys?
