    Some curiosities I have

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Yeah, with those stats from SteamSpy, I think they include keys from bundles, so the numbers can be misleading. Money wise, my newer titles are performing way better than Bermuda. I did a horrendous job of managing Bermuda. It deserves the bad reviews and does not deserve to be on that list :(.

    As for Kickstarter, I am not all that smart with money, but I have done a few back when it was a newer thing for visual novels. When you take the physical printing and shipping costs into account, your finance can quickly spiral into a disaster, even if things feel great at first.

    I am sick of you all hating on the Sakura series.

    Yeah, click bait topic title, whatever. Enough is enough. After this post, I am never coming back here again, so you can make hate posts all you want.

    Seriously, all I see is hate for the Sakura series. Why? Because it's popular? Or because you think they're milking the series? Well, that's subjective, so we can argue about it all day long and never come to a conclusion. The Sakura series is still a piece of creative art, and we need to at least show it that much respect.

    All right, I will just come right out and say it. The Sakura series actually introduced me to the visual novel genre. It will always have a special place in my heart, yet you all just keep sh*ting on it. Every damn post guys. It makes me so :salt:, and I have been trying to hold it in, but I can't contain it anymore. Screw this. I am going to post one final picture here, then maybe some of you will actually have a change of heart and realize the Sakura series in fact deserves a lot of respect:

    Sorry to the modern Sakura series. I am just messing around ^_^.

    Goodbye.

    Really sad to hear the news :(. I remember watching the Shuffle anime during college. Back then, I had no idea what VNs were, and I was so young that I did not even recognize the harem genre and pattern. Good or not, the series definitely played a part in a lot of people's entertainment lives, and in the end, no matter what opinions we have, we are all going to the same place. Rest in peace.

    I reckon Phoenix Wright has the best anime 3D to date, but this is still a step up from VLR ^_^

    I hope that character will have some significant role, but I have a feeling it will be just be a quick cameo if anything ;-;

    Based on the ending of VLR though, with the whole they'll find a way to get back there, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Maybe another mini Flash game like they did with VLR :yumiko:?

    Unhack 2

    in Released

    Posted

    Hi everyone! I recently finished putting together the Unhack 2 digital artbook, so I wanted to show it off today. Hope that's cool ^_^.

    Unhack 1, Cursed Sight, Without Within—just about all of my titles come with a digital artbook available as an add-on. Unhack 2 will be no different, so let’s take a sneak peek at what we can expect to see.

    First, the artbook will include your standard set of character sprites, CGs and backgrounds. Each image will come coupled with a brief commentary on the thought processes that took place during development.

    The Unhack 2 artbook will also feature a power chart that shows how capable each programmer and AI is in combat. A² always says she is the strongest AI, well, we will see about that, because characters from Unhack 1 are also included in this book.

    Players have mentioned they wished these artbooks would include early sketches used during development. I want to honor that request, so Unhack 2’s artbook will feature behind the scene sketches shared between Rosuuri and me.

    Thank you everyone :wafuu:!

    The Disappearing Spider

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey everyone, please help me out :vinty:!

    Last night, I was catching up on Myriad Colors Phantom World when I spotted a spider on the wall. Not a massive one, but big enough to make me grimace. I picked up a shoe and stepped on the spider, but when I let go, it was nowhere to be seen. Bottom of the shoe? No. Checked the floor, not there either. My room is fairly empty, so I was able to check all the nearby hiding places, but still no luck.

    I checked every spot I could think of, and to begin with, I am confident I never saw the spider run when my shoe made contact with the wall. See, I live in Australia so spiders are not exactly uncommon, but in my 30 years of life, I have never had this happen. Spiders are not that fast, so if when they tried to flee, I was always able to catch them.

    Well, I gave up and went to bed, fully expecting the spider to eat me alive while I was asleep. I just woke up and the bug is still nowhere in sight. At least I am still alive. It felt so mysterious that I actually looked up disappearing spider to see if it is some sort of hallucination or phenomenon. The spider was too big for it to be an illusion, though. I even wanted to take a photo of it to show that hey, this is what we see in Australia all the time.

    Has anyone got a similar experience? If so, please be sure to share it. Of course, if the spider pops up later, I will just let you all know I am an idiot, and if the thing kills me in my sleep, well, I love you all. Farewell. #relax 

    Lewd content in the east vs the west

    Hello there ^_^. So it looks like VNs that include boobs, sex or even just yuri tend to sell way better than those without. A lot of gamers outside the community hate visual novels, though. "Ugh, another bewbs game", "Stahp" and whatever else.

    I remember a few years ago, Mass Effect 1 ran into a bit of controversy with their sex scenes. Compared to VNs, they were as tame as could be, but still, I think gamers in general defended Mass Effect. Gamers want the public to know we are mature enough to handle these topics. The Mass Effect issue even went on Fox News:

    I doubt many gamers would have sided with the psychology specialist in that segment. How come sex in a western title is viewed so differently from visual novels? Is it because some VNs have kinky sex? Or is it the fact that a lot of anime girls look underaged? Many of the answers will seem obvious, but I am still fine with hearing about them and maybe start a discussion from here.

    Sorry to finish with a downer, but let's keep the chat on topic. I have been seeing posts where people are using threads to promote their game/story/art/music etc. Mentioning projects in passing is okay, but it is beyond obvious when the intention is to plug. People can post what they like, but in some forum, that type of behavior would result in warnings, and I want to bring it up ahead of time.

    Thanks ^_^!
