The Common Route – An Anatomy of Visual Novels
rannar99 commented on Pallas_Raven's blog entry in Towards The End Sky
Great article! I'm honestly sad to see some devs undervaluing their common routes compared to the individual routes/later parts of the VN. But every so often when I encounter a common route with great pacing/story/character moments(depending on VN's genre) I end up remembering them for years. -
New to VN - No Nudity; Erotic Novel Style; Choices Matter
rannar99 replied to StrechTcloud's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Personally, I've never seen anybody asking for off-screen content. People usually want either or all-ages or 18+ stuff. There are age 15+ or 17+ rating in-between, but there's far less of those. VNDB has a "Off Screen Sex Only" you can check out: vndb.org/g3247 Off-screen sex tend to happen in censored console ports or Steam versions of many popular 18+ titles too. -
And I love rereading things, especially JVNs I read a long time ago, just to see how my JP improved over the years. One of my favorite VNs of all time is notorious for its language difficulty, can't wait to read and fully understand it one day!

I played Agarest War on my phone back in the day and found it underwhelming. On the other hand, I'm very interested in Death Mark II(prevous one and NG had their issues, but they were fun).

(official site took its sweet Another day, another mobage ported to Switch! OG release costed 4$, but new version costs 15$. Official site says it has updated graphics and full voice acting. Doesn't seem worth it al all. Synopsis makes it sound like run-of-the-mill moege with incest and time travel. Since it was originally a mobile title, it's going to be very short. To me it looks completely unremarkable.

Frontwing made an update on their Kickstarters and open projects.
rannar99 replied to HataVNI's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Thankfully I never backed any of them. Just look at the comment sections under updates and main KS pages: they're filled with bitterness. Can you imagine how does it feel to back not just one but several of Frontwing's offerings? Oof -
Usually I play for 1-3 hours every day. In the past I played far less(wasn't much to choose from back in the day).

It's a shame they decided to translate Switch version over PC indeed. Sex scenes were a very important part of this game, especially in Yoshiaki's route aka one of the most (in)famous routes of the game. But it's better than mobile version for sure. I just hope people will read the warnings before buying this.

Publisher Studio Aksys Games opens a warehouse in Hungary, Europe
rannar99 replied to HataVNI's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Honestly, not the best location. I can only imagine the shipping costs for some countries. Not much hope for a proper customer support either. I hope it won't turn into an Otome version of Atlus International lmao -
What got you into Visual Novels in the first place?
rannar99 replied to Happiness+'s topic in The Coliseum of Chatter
As a teenager, I was looking into games with female MCs. One of them was P3P, where I enjoyed VN segments far more than gameplay. So I looked into VNs to see if I actually enjoy games without gameplay focus. And the rest is history -
VN podcast - An VNture Podcast (by Tauros113 and M.R.)
rannar99 replied to VNturePodcast's topic in Creative Corner
Nice podcast series! My favorite episode so far was #6 -
I sure do hope FrontWing isn't planning to make KS campaign to localize this work

Aquae ~Crystal Clear Waters~ [Fantasy/Adventure][ARC1: Demo out!]
rannar99 replied to Lyndis's topic in Original Projects
1) If Act 1 is meant to be a demo, I'll play it. Probably won't play Act 2 until the end of Act 3 development. 2) I don't mind kinetic VNs, but I'd rather have a few choices(impactful over "cosmetic" preferably). As for romance, I'd like to have an option to opt out of it tbh.
