This papers essentially confirm what everyone already knew for ages, and now there's no hiding it.
I'm actually more surprised so many journalists managed to keep this under wraps and release everything simultaneously for the world to see. Makes me have hope for real journalism.
Grab your popcorns boys, the drama is about to be real.

Nope.

I think the mouth being open is more a part of the facial expression than displaying that they're talking.

Eustia.

Nosebleed forgot to mention that due to the protagonist, "Yuu," causing confusion with the pronoun "you," we're going to change his name to "Antwon."

PLOT
Once upon a time, in a fairytale land, a beautiful ethereal being watched over the living beings that inhabited this realm. Some referred to her as a goddess, others as mother nature. One thing was certain about this being; she cared for and nurtured this world. The creatures that had the most potential for greatness were the elves. They were elegant, tall, blonde, magical, and intelligent. She saw these beings that lived docile lives of blandness. It hurt her to see such wonderful creature neglecting their full potential. She wanted to add some diversity to help them. She borrowed the essence of six other species and spread them through the elves to create the six elemental races of elves. Simply put, light, dark, earth, air, water, and fire. It worked for a short time until disagreement turned into argument, and argument turned into fighting. Prejudice spread and the ethereal being cried for her children. To rectify her mistake, she split her soul, she took a piece of it and created an infant with the essence of light and dark. And then she split her heart to create a charm to watch over the child and sent the beacon of hope down to her people. The stress of this act of love put her into a deep slumber. The elves rejoiced at the blessing and welcomed each other’s differences until a prophecy spoke of salvation or destruction, caused by this mixed child.
 
CHARACTERS
MAIN CHARACTER
 
 
Syphethia
She is the main character and is a light elf. She is very kind and caring but can be misunderstood and when angered, she can be quite explosive. She is quite quirky as well and tends to be very different from other light elves. She is rambunctious, rebellious, free spirited, and very curious. Not exactly what you would expect from a perfect princess
BACHELORS
Kita
He is a light elf and the princess's fiance. He is very strange and is always disappearing after receiving a mysterious call. He doesn't seem very nice and is incredible smug. He seems to have some sort of disdain for the princess but always tries to hide it behind a fake smile. He smiles often but it never seems to be authentic. He is shrouded in mystery.
Korra
He is a waiter at one of the light elf restaurants. He is very kind and social and seems to always be there when this princess is in a bind. His signature facial expression is his big cheesy smile. He has a big secret though. Which would explain his unusual appearance. He also seems to genuinely care for the princess and loves her quirks. He loves having fun and can sometimes be a bit if a flirt.

Darc
He is a dark elf who is fierce and strong. He may sound rude through his voice and actions but he really is a caring person deep down. Not that he'll ever admit to it. He is a bi r of a tsundere lol. His tongue is sharp but his touch is always gentle. There seems to be a strange connection between him and the princess. He also can not leave someone in trouble. He will complain about it but can't stop himself from helping.
Fira
He is a hot headed fire elf. He is always full of energy and any little comment could set him off but he would never leave a friend behind or let them get hurt. His emotions are very big in every direction. He feels things a lot more than others. Sadness, anger, joy. All of them go to the extreme. But so does his passion for the people he cares about. Loud and wild, he can be quite a handful.
Tessa
He is a calm and calculating water elf. He is mature and tends to correct people which makes him seem smug and arrogant which was never his real intention. In actuality he is very caring, just misunderstood for the way he shows it. He has a hard time expressing his feelings or anything else that doesn't involve logic. He tends to say the wrong things often and it comes off in a way he didn't intend it to. He is very good at hiding his emotions as well.
Nova
He is a free spirited air elf. He is quite eccentric and a bit air headed. Its always hard to understand what he's thinking. He is also extremely shy and easily embarrassed. He is very quite but seems to have a very active mind. Always lost in thought. Though seemingly shy and docile, he is very dependable when it comes down to the important issues. He may prefer peace but will protect those he cares for with his life.
EXTRAS
Queen Alura
She is Syphethia's mother, The queen. She is a quiet and submissive woman. She seems to always be worried about something but will not express her worries. She is always kind and gentle to Syphethia though.
King Varin
He is Syphethia's Father, the king. He is a dominant, commanding man. He is very controlling and aggressive. He is very secretive and doesn't stand for being disobeyed. Hardly seems to genuinely care for the princess.
Dina
She is the sister of Darc who is even more violent than her brother. She is flirtatious and has a fiery attitude but still love her brother dearly whether she shows it or not. Though she is violent, she doesn't get angry often. Her violence is how she has fun. She jokes around a lot and can be very sexual at times. Her favorite pass time is teasing her brother.
Tierra
She is a cute and adorable young girl. She is a half breed mixed with a air elf and a water elf. she is a little ball of energy and loves to have fun. She also cares very deeply about the people she comes to trust.

This is going to be terrible isn't it?
I want to have hope, but then I remember the VN is shorter than half of a typical full anime season, which begs the question: how are they going to drag it and essentially butcher what was a wonderfully paced short story?
The only way this can realistically work is in movie form, but if you want my honest opinion i don't think Planetarian is very fit for the anime medium.

But I already have fuwanovel for the first two (if you count telling people their taste in anime is shit as fighting evil) and I don't have anything nintendo D:
As for the latter...

Interact with friends, fight evil, and get points for discounts on Nintendo products if you link it to a Nintendo Account.
EDIT: Plus... how else are you going to find out Rose's favorite food? Or see me dressed up in a pirate costume?

This is actually so funny 

No Tay on my friendlist even though I follow you.
tay y wont u friend me? :c

Are any of you using/trying out Nintendo's new Miitomo app (released today)? Here are some links to get the app:

Please be my friend! Twitter: @ArchmageTay

This is so well put I can't believe it's a shit post

The writer of shuffle and tick-tack! passed away today, I dont know the details and cant find anything about what happened from the tweets I have been seeing, but im gonna post the announcement below.
I know a lot of his stuff wasnt good according to a lot of people, but people like @ChaosRaven seems to have enjoyed his work greatly.
Its always sad to see people go never the less.
Rest in peace.

 

I don't know, I quite like the cartoonish feel. I think it works even better because the goal of the game here isn't to have you date the girls specifically but rather have you play with them, so they aren't exactly designed to look like your 2D waifus like HuniePop was designed for. The game won't even have an 18+ release, which solidifes the fact it's not designed to be your fap material even more.
But I understand the art change does not bode well with fans of HuniePop overall, it took me a while to get used to it at first as well. I'm happy I got used to it at least and I think it looks kinda cute and sexy at the same time.

Update: IT'S OUT!
From the devs that brought us the best visual novel ever, HuniePop, comes a new spin-off game titled HunieCam Studio where, instead of dating a bunch of girls, you put them on the internet and make loads of money.
We've been commenting on this new game over at the HuniePop discussion thread but I think it's time we make a proper discussion thread with the release date for the game approaching.
Here's the final release trailer if you haven't seen it yet:
The final retail price will be $6.99
Follow the devs on twitter for future updates
As a massive fan of HuniePop, I'm still torn on whether or not this game is going to be great, but I'm definitely going to buy it on launch and see what it's all about.
I'm mostly excited to be with best grill Audrey once again as well as meet all the new girls they've decided to add.
My hopes for the game are certainly placed on the writing and whether or not they can bring back the fun vibe HuniePop had.
The devs got a lot of flack for the massive change in art direction and game style in general, but I think their forte is in making fun games, so I'd rather wait and see what they come up with with this one.
I also don't dislike the new artstyle and I think they polished it more than enough.
Is anybody else excited for the game or is it just me?

Android version is up!

Free Download from Google Play
You will also find a link in itchio to download it.
I have also updated the other platforms to version 1.2 (1.1 died on the way, rest in peace). I fixed some minor bugs and typos so everything should be nicer.
Thanks everyone for your support and I hope you enjoy reading the novel!

Everyone should read this visual novel, congrats on releasing it 

Ryoji is like, near 50, but he's no longer around. Krill's approaching 40. Clephas and Sanah are similar ages as me (and prob you.) Ittaku must be hella old. And I've heard a rumour that Tay is secretly a grand archwizard complete with white beard that touches the ground, which he winds around his toes and strums like a harp ...
I just have a reputation cause apparently I'm grumpy. I deny everything, though  

Congrats
Now hopefully your luck in FGO starts to surface soon
