Congrats jackalico
 
Amazing work so far guys, keep up the good work!

Hello FUWA! How've you guys been? Us? We are celebrating because a new member has joined our ranks!!
Can you guess who is it?
 

According to discussion on VNDB and the official site, the endings for the other characters seemed more like just bad endings for the main character, so they created proper endings for each character (as well as after stories for each character).
 
Also



 
Also they threw in more lolis and tons more H-scenes. They're apparently still releasing DLC H-scenes to this day.

Monobeno -Happy End- has happy endings.  Apparently the original's weren't so happy.

As far as most of the world is concerned playing VN's with 2D sex scene already question whether you have a healthy mindset or not.

By "typical community standards", we're all pedophiles.  Popular eroge are typically what you'd call "teen dramas" with hardcore pornography as dessert.  Those flat-chested characters?  They're children.  Those big eyes and high-pitched voices?  Clearly depictions of children.  Unless all you play are games like Starless, you're as guilty as the rest of the us--it's only a matter of degree.

Maji Translations has become consolidated with Skyspear Translations!

OH MY GOD, YES!
THIS HAS BEEN ON MY WISHLIST LIKE FOREVER!!!
 
I LOVE YOU!

We have decided to create a translation for this game, we are sure many have been waiting for it already.

This will be our first project and it is a very long one (the game has about 60-70k lines) but I hope we will be able to complete it. We already have the first few hundred lines translated by Zakudono, you can download the video here.
 
If you want to work with us on this project, please send me a PM or an email. You can also visit our website for more information: http://tl.lolis.org

Description:
This is the sequel to Monobeno, with after stories for Sumi, Alice, Natsuha, and a pre-story for Hishakaku. It also rewrites parts of Sumi and Alice’s route which seem like bad ends for Natsuha, and adds a toggle for certain CGs. Upon players’ requests, the H scenes are more numerous and intense.

Monobeno original Story:
Sawai Tooru and his younger sister Natsuha venture back to their rural home town Monobeno – their first visit in six years. Here they reunite with their childhood friend Alice (a girl who labels herself as Tooru’s fiancee), and a Yamori Youkai in the form of a small child.

After their nostalgic reunion it was not long before the town readies itself for the night of Himemiya Ryuu Shichi Seisai. During the festival, the Monobeno’s ancient, ‘Face Dance’ was being performed when Natsuha suddenly collapsed and was rushed home. The next night, Natsuha’s body turned into that of an adult’s and her lower body bled for the first time. Tooru, fearing for his imouto’s life hastened in his search of a cure…

summary

Our narrator born in Hawaii meets a young college student who goes to the same school. He was practicing for the 10k marathon until the narrator saw the young girl crying. Her name is Aya, her trouble life is leading her to consider suicide or murder as an alternative to being happy. The story progress to more and more life changing events that happens almost everyday in the real world. I wont reveal how many ends there are but it is multichoice until you reach an ending.

The game won't be free (for a good reason) anyone who buys the game will help fund American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the game will be for $2. In math terms this is how much the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will get for each game brought.


special thanks to konett for allowing the characters to be use for commercial use




demo version can be downloaded here:

------------------------------------------------------------------update-------------------------------------------------------------

dont worry the project is still going, i haven't post any updates so let me go over on what happen.

* i have added a new textbox, one that feels hawaii



* another addition is multiple language but separate games, in other words it means you can play the game in Spanish, Japanese and English (so no it originally was never meant to be a OELVN project).

* the storyline is about 30% at this point with japanese being at 10%, this is due to misspelling by google translate so i have to fix it most of the time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------update 2-------------------------------------------------------------------

video trailer for the game is up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHdeC82mv0M&feature=youtu.be

* also the game is now only english and spanish version. i could not stand with google misleading me on japanese and delaying the project.

* the price is still the same, only $2

* android version will be available at amazon as well as separate OP systems such as mac, linux and windows.

* full download of everything (including android) will be place on itch.io and fireflower.

* support for rising awareness in suicide death has been made in thunderclap:

----------------------------------------------------------------final update----------------------------------------------------------
 
its finally release!

Yuuji is actually one of my favorite protagonists of all times. Gets into top 10. 
You don't read Grisaia for the heroines, screw them. It's all about Yuuji. 

No hate for Akihito from me, just minor annoyance at times.
Actually have fun with Rance casually joke-raping people and treating Sill like garbage.
 
You know what's my most hated protag?
The hetare protag. 
 
He comes with many names, and ruins many games. Sometimes you get a glimpse of his face, but it's useless- he's a master of changing appearance, and often he doesn't even have facial features. He also seems to like having tsunderes to push him around, making any game where this guy appears a mass of incredible frustration that I cannot read. 

Yay. Now's my turn! :9
Since I'm a designer my pic has to look all posh:

Indeed, and if everyone spent their time learning Japanese instead of bugging TL Projects then there'd be no need for them in the first place.

Mostly because you can't, I'd wager.

Why not? I'll join the fun!

Since people were somewhat confused as to who I was in the last photo.

Sent you a PM with further details

Err, right.
 
Anyway, you don't have to apologize for any issues with your demo. It's fine! I understand that the role of a demo is to provide something for people to get hooked onto and excited about, not to deliver a product that's perfectly polished. And your demo did a perfect job at the former! I actually get a good sense of what you want to make your project about, what it offers, and what I can imagine the final product would be like. I also understand that you guys are an amateur team, and that this is your first project - I wasn't criticizing any of that, and I do believe (as you said you were planning yourselves), that you would be able to put out a VN of a professional quality.
 
If you say you've significantly reworked the writing since the demo, then I'm glad, and excited for the next release.
 
Were I to offer my help to work on backgrounds/art for you guys, would you be interested in my contribution, and if so, what would be the best way to get in touch with you?

Reworking the writing, eh?
While the writing is admittedly quite flowery, I like it that way. It doesn't quite fit unless there's some consistency, but I still like it.
For example, if he talked like a teenager and then thought like that, or if he always thought and talked like that, then it would be very fine by me.

I'm normally very careful when playing VNs but there was this one time at bandcamp- oh. Nevermind.
Anyway, back when I was a teen (like a couple of centuries ago) I left my PC on and went off elsewhere.
After like 1 hour I returned only to find my sister playing "True Love" (The dating sim) which I left paused.
I quickly removed her from the premises and told her she shouldn't play this stuff as it wasn't for girls.
She would still sneak in and play whenever I wasn't around and even got to finish it. the H-scenes didn't faze her.    

Hello there!
We appreciate the feedback, It means a lot to us and it also helps us improve our VN more and more.
We're glad you like our project and hope you had a good time reading our demo. That said, the current
demo is no longer representative of the core release anymore, since we now have 2 scenario writers and
the story will be differently written and go down another path. Don't worry though, the atmosphere, the mood
and the art direction will remain intact as well as the premise and general plot.
We apologise for any issues you've encountered and we'll take your suggestions to heart. please do remember
that this is our first novel, and because of the scope of the project we have cut corners at some places.
We are after all a group of hobbyists working on this project on our free time and with our own resources. (we're
a non-profit organisation) As such we don't take donations and our staff volunteered to help us out realise this
endeavour with this in mind.

Many thanks for your feedback again, we hope you stay around for more updates, content and a future demo.
Kind regards,
 
Red Lattice Studio Staff.

Moved to Ongoing projects! Good luck!
You have all my support and if you need anything don't hesitate to contact me.
