Yeah, for me, I am fine with the student / teacher relationship thing. It is much more the fact that they are children (-u-)... Or are they in fact not and just look the part?

Hello everyone . This morning, I woke up and received an e-mail from Valve telling me Unhack has been accepted onto Steam. I started this project near the time when the Fuwanovel forums first existed, and you have all been really supportive from day one, so I really wanted to come in here and say thank you !

After hearing all these praises, I picked up the game (^///^)~ Indeed, I can see it would be fun to calculate the training days to maximize your gains. I read in a review that someone actually crashed the game because their numbers surpassed what the code expected! However, because the game is easy enough that I can get the endings just by casting Tempero Ignis (or whatever it was called) at the start, I find I have no motivation to dive into it too deeply. I find I prefer to just the game like a standard VN and enjoy the story. Once you get into a route, the stories are pretty nice. With the daily gags and spell learning events, I actually find that often, I go, yeah, yeah, I really want to get to the part when crap hits the fan ! As a quick thing, I also have to confess real quick that I feel pretty uncomfortable with any H scenes involving Aria or Kaya. The game has an impression amount of options, but I do not blame them for not having a choice to turn those particular scenes off. Might be asking for too much. By the way, I could use help with something:

For some reason the fact that it is a kinetic novel makes me more excited. Hopefully it will be a concise and wonderfully told story !

Thank you Zalor! You are too kind . No rush Katatsumuri ! RinXD, for Paypal, I reckon once the campaign is over, we could get in touch via DM and do it that way? Thank you all .

Thank you melo4496 and edwd2! And Nosebleed, thank you for turning her into an emoticon! Really appreciate the love .

Thank you so much nohman. Really hope you have a great holiday . Thanks Emi! Wow, so many moe emoticons as of late XD. I am happy to arrange something privately via Paypal etc later on if you like .

I guess you could say I was............ "oblivious" to it ?........................... Merry Christmas everyone (-//u//-).

"The graphix r sux! No!" (=u=)/ Thank you for that card spot Nosebleed . Happy to know you like Vinty! If only I had the budget to produce plushies. Merry Christmas ~

Well, this game is out now, and as some of you folks have suspected, folks are saying the translation is horrible. I can read Chinese, so if that language option is available, maybe I can go with that. Has anyone here played it ?

Flutterz, there's only like eight days left in the year (>w<)/! Thank you Rooke ! Thank you RinXD . Sorry but what's discover about? Thanks melo4496! Haha, dat second emoticon XD~ Thank you Nosebleed . About that save slot thing, oh! Haha, I thought the save file was in my local drive somewhere. Oh well . Glad to hear you enjoyed it! OriginalRen, thanks for putting together that Let's Play video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ5P09a2pHs

Hello all . I have just released my last visual novel for the year, Without Within. Since the game is complete, I figured it is better to put it here than Oncoming Projects. Hopefully that is okay! Vinty has been getting nowhere with her calligraphy. Her confidence has sunk to an all time low. As life pressures her toward giving up, will she forget why she pursued this craft in the first place? The game is available free as my way of saying thanks for supporting me this year. I knew this would be done near Christmas so I hope it can be seen as a little gift from me . The game was inspired by a reddit thread I stumbled upon a few months back. The game is on greenlight at the moment, so if you could spare a moment for me, that would be really cool : I also have a campaign for rewards like postcards, trading cards, physical copies etc: Some of the stuff you can get: Some screenshots from the game: Thank you everyone! Hope you can spare a moment to check out the game sometime, and most important, happy holidays .

Yeah, there is a demo for it on Steam I think .

Wow, so we got some folks from the original team joining in! Let's see what these guys pull off here .

I ended up watching through OriginalRen's playthrough XD. Good luck with the project! Keep it up .

Awesome! I have a hard time playing through VNs on PCs due to time, so I will aim to pick it up for the Vita so I can play it on my commutes. Hopefully there will be a physical version .

It is definitely up there but Narcissu is the best all time VN so the answer is no, rarrrrrr >=]~

Yeah. If there ever comes a day when I know I am settling in for a long while, I might go full otaku then XD.

Thanks for all the reply folks and accepting my love for places (>w<)! Thank you Cyrillej1! Thanks reyaes! Yeah, it is definitely more than the desire to experience new places. In fact, it is the wish to relive cherished experiences. For example, last year, I stayed in a certain hotel. This year, I insisted on going back, even though it is slightly more expensive than others, and it is far from the city. Ah, I might as well share this story as well. So last year, when I visited that hotel, I decided to jog there from the city and earn my night's rest. However, I vastly underestimated the distance XD. I ran for well over an hour from sunset through into night time, passing through some scary, pitched black bridges etc along the way. By the time I reached the hotel, all the shops were already closed, except for this one restaurant. The people there treated me nicely. To them, I was just another customer. For me, having been through that rough jog, I remember their simple kindness. I then spent a fine evening in the hotel, just doing average things like watching anime. Some tough experiences, followed by a few pleasant ones. As common as they come, but those are the experiences I always want to savor and relive . Eclipsed, that is a very fascinating tale! Thanks for sharing it . Flutterz, I really would marry it, but I am a bit scared to make that move right now. This thread shows that if I do, at least I can count on you guys to not make fun of me (>//u//<). Sounds great Ryechu ! Piano is obviously a form of art and I empathize with your passion very much. For those who say they feel loveless because they have found nothing, no worries! You only need to find one love in your life. A lot like people, I guess. There is no need to rush . Thanks for all the comments folks. They were really cool to read .

Hopefully people will not find this weird, but here goes . People get into relationships, then they marry. We are obviously capable of having love for one another. But what about other things? For me, I find myself deeply loving places. Usually, places I visit alone on holidays. I would arrive, get lost, then gradually become familiar with the area until I know my way around every street. That to me feels like spending time to know a person. After returning home, I find myself obsessively looking at the place I visited on Google Street View, YouTube, etc. Many people want to visit new places all the time. For me, I desperately want to relive memories that I found enjoyable. Recently, I got to revisit Melbourne to attend PAX. I recorded gigs of footage to ensure I will leave with no regrets. The whole time, I wore a stupid grin and skipped along the streets. Not tourist attractions, but simply soaking in that daily lifestyle. Love it so much. I get similar feelings when I return to suburbs where I used to live. It brings me so much bliss that other people say they are unable to relate. I also love storywriting and game development to a point where I have no interest in relationships, even though I am approaching 30. If that is all I do in my lifetime, I am delighted with that. My mind might change later, of course. For now, I want to devote everything to a craft I care deeply about. Thanks for reading until the end XD. I have read stories of people wanting to marry their car tires, or a bridge, etc. By no means have I reached that extreme, but yeah. If anyone has experiences they wish to share, I will be happy to read about them!

I used to have a more otaku room but it has recently come to my attention that every time I have to move house, needing to move all those items across is a pain in the bum. That is why I have thrown out a lot of things as of late (-u-)~

Ren, thanks so much for sharing that story. It was indeed very touching! Eclipsed mentioned it might be fine to continue the discussion, so I just wanted to share my thoughts. There are no references or attacks against anyone here. Hopefully that is acceptable . I am not in a relationship at the moment because I have devoted the majority of my free time to my game development dreams. If I forced myself into a relationship, it would end poorly. I am functioning okay, though. In fact, I am delighted with life right now. If that is the way my entire life is, just me and my goals, I would be very happy with that. I have friends I cherish, so I thought that would suffice. Some tell me, with that approach, you will be lonely when you are old with no kids to look after you. They say that because they worry for me, and it is at the back of my mind right now. I get jumpy (sometimes very, very jumpy XD) over cute anime girls like any other fan. But I have no thoughts about being in a relationship with them. It is not about 2D VS 3D for me at the moment. Right now, I have no thoughts about relationships at all. Often, I have no interest in going outside to conform to society's rules. I want to stay home and pursue my dreams in front of a monitor. That said, I have always wanted to understand those who truly wish to pursue romantic relationships with 2D characters. On another note, I have been curious about those who cosplay as characters of the opposite gender as well. Recently, I picked up this book called The Moe Manifesto. It includes interviews with folks belonging to both of the aforementioned groups. The exchanges gave me a new understanding about their situations. I have always condoned doing what means most to you. If your heart says that is your preference, it is all good in my books. Thanks for reading my ramble .

Thanks Pabloc. Now that I know a new patch is being worked on, I might as well wait for that, then. I got Valkyria Chronicles to check out, anyway .

I do have some thoughts on the 2D VS 3D topic, but I guess some might want this topic to stay on track. If this ends up continuing in its own thread (in a civil manner, of course), then I would be happy to chime in for a bit .

Thanks for the info Pabloc . So the patch at the moment does not work for the Steam release? Yeah, I might go ahead and wait a few days, then~
