I was doing something like this on GoogleHangout awhile back. It worked alright, but this sounds like it will be better.

*Sigh* Should have known it would have been an eroge full of sex and no plot. Profound disappointment. Dropped.

Oh a new one coming soon? I might as well delay then. Not like I will have time with Thanksgiving and working round the clock during the holidays.

Alright someone delete this thread.

I recently got a friend to agree to help my attempt and translate Figu@Mate (because I'm sick of waiting for people to translate it)...but I can't find the damn thing anywhere. Anyone know of any non-dead downloads? EDIT: Why is it that I spend an hour looking for something, post about not being able to find it, then find it 5 minutes later. Now I gotta figure out how the hell to actually start translating it. There any tutorials out there? DOUBLE EDIT: Of course, I ask that and I find this like 2 seconds later: http://visualnovelaer.wordpress.com/2012/07/01/a-revolution-for-fan-translation-it-is-now-possible-to-sub-any-visual-novel-without-hacking/. (Thanks Aaeru)

Finally bought a PS Vita. Went over to a friends, then drank a whole bunch in their front yard handing out candy. Great night overall.

I'm not good with scary thing >_>. How disturbing/frightening is it?

...but you can't have more that one true end that doesn't make any sense... It would also throw off any sort of canon, ya know, in case they wanted to make a sequel (which alot of these games with true ends do have sequels). I do get your point though, give equal opportunity to every heroine.

If I had such a big property I would monetize it and live like a king with disregard to the fanbase. Creative control is important if you have artistic vision, but money is money. And money is always nice.

If he was smart he would monetize his product on a larger level. Money is the name of the game folks. Just think if a Touhou game had the budget of say a Cave game (not sure on either but Cave games look more well produced). Better art could just be the start.

I'm skeptical on the titles they could hypothetically get. The PC version would most likely have to already be on PC in Japan, as I doubt these companies have the resources to do a full scale PS to PC port (doing a PS to PS port is probably much easier and feasible). The likelihood of a large mainstream JRPG release on PC (ex. Persona, an actually good SquareEnix game) sounds like it would be very low. Then again, I have no idea but it sounds crazy to hope for anything "modern".

Not sure about visual novel fans and Touhou fans going hand in hand. Most of the crossover is secondary fans who only like everything surrounding Touhou and not the games themselves (not necessarily a bad thing although it can be at times). I can't blame them though, the games can get frantic and hard and they have a very steep learning curve. I enjoy how thrilling they can be and I always end up shouting "OHHHHHHHHH...DAMNIT/YES!" on just about every boss. The Touhou franchise is pretty normal by shooter standards. The only thing that really makes the games rise above the others is the mystical setting and phenomenal soundtracks. I've played plenty of shooters and I think its time for Touhou to actually step up and get on the level of some of the newer shooters. In terms of graphics and gameplay. Ten Desires was very disappointing for me. At least Touhou hasn't delved into some of the creepier games like Let’s Go! Burunyanman Portable. That one was tough to stomach. I enjoy the music remixes a whole bunch. Especially the Jazz remixes by Swing Holic, and the Tokyo Active Neets.

Adult Video King sounds incredibly crazy and amazing in all the right ways, although I doubt that will ever get translated so I might as well learn Japanese so I can play it. Figu@mate is another one of those weird games that I would love to play someday. Since I personally think most anime based on games are garbage (because they are always short and never can make any progress or pick a heroine that I just absolutely loathe), it would be nice to see some of those get translated. Examples would be "They Are My Noble Masters", "Do Love Me Seriously!" (I know its being translated but very slowly), and "Final Approach" (no sexual content) are just some that I would love to play.

I played this when it came out (2 years ago?). I recently started playing it with a friend and she has been enjoying it quite a bit (surprisingly). I hope we eventually make it to the end, but the game does have its dry spots.

I've been to about 5 anime cons and attended 2 GenCon Indies. The older I get the less tolerant I become of general teenager behavior although I'm pretty sure I was as rowdy as they were at 16 or 17. When I did go to anime cons, I went to AnimeCentral in Chicago. Those were some pretty good days although the last one I attended was really mediocre. GenCon on the other hand is generally an older crowd, and even though its a traditional gaming con, I still find it more fun (probably because there are more things to do). Beer and buds always makes for a great weekend.

Higurashi is a poor choice. Now if they would have put up KiraKira all ages edition I would have bought that again in a heartbeat. Also isn't "Analogue: A Hate Story" a visual novel on Steam already? I mean, its on my library list. Why didn't people bitch about that?

I can't really answer that question in a non-super biased way

A favorite eh? That would be KiraKira for sure.

Hello fellow VN fans. I hail from America although I lived in Germany for awhile (hence the German topic title ). Been playing VNs for roughly 3 years now. Picked up the addiction the year after I graduated High School and haven't been able to stop since. Probably started when I decided to play Persona 4. Since that game is mostly just a huge block of text and voices I decided I wanted more of that so I played KiraKira as my first VN. I have hopes that this will be an active community of VN fans. My VNDB list of games I've rated: http://vndb.org/u3925/votes

Mostly older things that most newer fans don't even know about with some newer stuff mixed in. 1. Urusei Yatsura (Rumiko Takahashi's best work) 2. Mobile Police Patlabor (Robot pilot police department) 3. Space Adventure Cobra (A more badass James Bond in space) 4. Genshiken 5. Otaku no Video 6. Hidamari Sketch 7. Nanoha A's 8. Working! 9. Detroit Metal City 10. Seitokai Yakuindomo 11. The Dirty Pair

I don't know if someone said something similar already but ero scenes in Visual Novels make them almost impossible to recommend to my friends. Even though alot of these games have a very small amount of H, its problematic when trying to recommend it to someone who likes that type of story, but perhaps might not want to have boobs all up in their faces. Thats not to say that my friends are prude or anything, its just hard to recommend something that has pornographic content in it. Actually, if someone made a "naughty bits blocker" like they do when posting screenshots on the MangaGamer blog I would have almost not trouble recommending these games to friends.

Despite the godawful "translation" I've been playing Flyable Hearts. Surprisingly, the machine translation hasn't really made for a much worse experience. Luckily, some mistranslated phrases and words can be heard through the dialog making me use my limited Japanese knowledge useful. I do really enjoy the setting and characters so I'll keep pushing forward until completion. Also it has really good looking character sprites and CG.
