Narcosis

Kind of.

You lose the moment you apologise

I won't be bored for the rest of my life, that's for sure. @namiultedjapanXD Simply read. That's all the advice I can give you. I used to have a similar problem in the past and often ended up postponing or even ditching the works I'd really like to play. When it came to me I'm simply wasting time and not doing anything useful, I began to read; if not what I wanted, at least whatever I had on my list. Now I typically leave the tastiest treats for best days - either weekends, days off work or vacations, occupying myself with shorter works on week days. Having a backlog helps greatly and if you're like me - having a bread range of interests - it definitely helps with organizing on what do you want to read and when. Growing numbers give off some sense of accomplishment and pride, ultimately making me want to read more.

[inaudible meowing] jk Expect a new review soon™.

Sure, you won't be the first one to do that

I meant his latest light novel, Silent World. He also wrote short afterstories for the gals that got bundled with the BD's. There's still a chance they might bring them up for the english audience.

Just look at the time.

You'd have to thoroughly understand the lore behind the setting itself (which is the same for both works, separated by time) to make sense of it. I don't want to spoil stuff, but it has something to do with the Alice organization and extraterrestrials. The connection itself is being brought in GO's latest light novel.

If anything, all the visual novels I read, which are universally considered as "kami tier" turned out to be fairly mediocre at most. I don't typically postpone reading for such reasons, but I tend to have really long withdrawal periods after reading really good works and it's mostly due to bonding with the characters.

Unfortunately, yes. I also doubt they will return to Steam, as the current situation on their storefront is counterproductive to most non-english vn developers.

I don't have much else to say. It's sad, but can't be helped. Regarding it not being on Steam any more - they supposedly dropped it due to not receiving response from Steam on time and went the safe route, especially considering what's happening right now. At this point it's as if - despite the initial willingness to support the genre - people behind Steam are willingly driving interested parties away from publishing eroge on their platform; not only eroge, but regular all-ages vns as well. What a wonderful time to be alive.

I'm not surprised, to be honest. Minori hasn't really produce anything worthy of their name for the past couple of years. Trinoline was disappointing and supipara... just eh. They more or less dropped everything they excelled at in favour of catering to larger audience, it was the final nail to their coffin. Just by following their portfolio, you can clearly see an unhealthy shift from drama heavy and story-focused games to more simplistic slice of life stories, that pander to as many anime fans as possible losing their identity in the process. I'll definitely miss them, but that's how things go in this industry. The truth is the visual novel genre as we know it is facing a major crisis and with advent of mainstream PC gaming in Japan, there's less and less people interested in buying those over-priced, static story games, when they can easily buy good western games for much less that give far more in return for their investment.

It's there.

I knew it.

Now off to thirties

Is this forum in such a tragic state we're forced to keep spammers?

I strongly believe this is the push the japanese game developers so much needed to finally move onto PC platform, which might also indicate a slow end to the japanese console era.

It's mainly for bar removal and does it decently well. It can't fully reconstruct large missing portions of the graphics, but does it exceedingly well on small bits and pieces.

Invite your girlfriend to play eroge together with you. Problem solved.

>brilliant writing Is it? Translators and editors aren't supposed to re-write. They are supposed to deliver a quality translation, while "quality" mileage may vary from person to person. If the original is well written, you need a translation on par to deliver it's quality to an english audience. On the other hand, even an excellent translator won't be able to save a game with shitty, amateurish writing. *looks at majority of vns*

Typos are something most editors fix on the run. Definitely not something to berate translators for, as their main job is an entirely different field.

Most advanced translators don't make laughable mistakes, at least not any that are instantly visible to your average english readers.

It'll be a crime when it actually gets an english translation.

What a silly waste of time and money. What's the point in creating something no one will read? SP really has nothing better to do.

That's true and I do mention about the flowchart. The reason why I don't bring it up on the first playthrough is because flowchart actually spoils event cgs and content before it's actually introduced to the players; I don't consider this normal, therefore can't recommend it as nothing more than help later on. If you find the Steam's guide better, you're free to use it instead. It's obvious both are based on the content already found out by japanese players, while I also provide potential save slots, instead of forcing players to skip through the game with every playthrough. Thanks for mentioning about the true end's name; I probably forgot to include it with the final revision.
