[What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?]

On my PS2 I'm playing Okami, PS3 is the Sly Cooper Trilogy and on my PC I'm playing Civilisation 5

[Sup!]

Welcome to the community, hope you enjoy the forums

My Favourite VN is If my Heart had Wings, this is because it just does everything right, story, characters, hitting you in the feels, comedy. You name it, this VN does it perfectly. 

[Hi everyone :D]

Welcome to the forums, enjoy your time here

[Pictures in Hoshizora no Memoria]

The style is either called chibi, Japanese slang meaning "short person" or "small child", or super deformed.  They both refer to the same thing.

 

I'd never heard of the chibi style referred to as super deformed, but I saw it on Grisaia's VNDB page, and the rest is history.

 

EDIT: Oh my God, apparently this exists.  This is hilarious.

Thanks mate, it was so frustrating trying to describe these without giving them a proper name.

[Pictures in Hoshizora no Memoria]

This may come off as a silly question but is there a particular name for those funny pictures that appear in Hoshizora no Memoria such as when Kosame chops You of what Asuho falls asleep at her desk? and if not is there anything that they're commonly referred to as?

 

[How did you find your favorite Visual Novel?]

Back before I became a true fan of visual novels I was looking for a visual novel like Katawa Shoujo but didn't know about the VNDB of Fuwanovel. I went on Yahoo Anwsers where someone asked a similar question and found in one of the answers a title called "If my Heart had Wings". I eventually got my hands on it and fell in love with it. 

[katawa shoujo: misha route]

This may be irrelevant (possibly even stupid) but i've heard that in the development of Katawa Shouju Misha was planned to die of cancer partway through Shizune's route. it could be that this early plan had a hand in her not getting her own route.

[How do you guys move/start a new route?]

It varies for me.
sometimes, especially if there's a long common route, I'll use the skip button but other times when i really like what's in the common route and it's a little shorter I'll read through the whole thing. 

[Visual Novel's Similar To Katawa Shoujo and Grisaia no Kajitsu?]

If my Heart had wings would suit your tastes.

[Thoughts on long common routes]

Exactly this. I got bored with Grisaia because I didn't like any of the characters, nor their interactions, but I loved Rewrite from the beginning because I loved the characters.

i was also bored with the characters at first, wasn't really able to appreciate them until i reached the choices, which wouldn't have been a problem if the common route wasn't so long

[Thoughts on long common routes]

G'Day everyone

 

Grisaia no Kajitsu is one of my favourite visual novels and, dare I say, it's the best visual novel I've read.

The only problem I really have with it is it's incredibly long common route that doesn't really go anywhere and drags on.

 

It got me wondering, does a long common route take away from a visual novel's overall quality and re-playability?

 

I personally feel that, while the quality isn't generally a problem, he re-playability does suffer.

what do you guys think?

[What do you think about artstyles?]

I've recently discovered that art style and character design can play a significant role in VNs.

I'm playing Air right now; so far i'm liking that story, characters and music, but the character designs are a little off (there just seems to be too big a gap between the mouth and the chin).

[Hey everyone]

Welcome to the land down under party! It's nice to see a fellow Australian join our ranks. Which state are you from?

I was born in Queensland

 

Welcome to Fuwa! Have a loli:

 

If you're taking recommendations, I strongly recommend Umineko no Naku Koro ni, just play it with a open mind, okay? Or it really turns into a mind screw.

Hope you have fun and I'll see you around.

 

Everyone is a potential lolicon, everyone. Once you embrace that potential, you'll be above human. That said, consider joining our ranks.

Thanks for the recommendation, i'll check that one out

G'Day Mate! Pro tip: you might not want to put your full real name anywhere on the internet.

 

Welcome to the forums in any case!

good point, guess i'm a little too trusting haha

[G'Day Everybody]

G'Day all you wonderful people.

 

My name is Alex Wallace. I'm relatively new to visual novels (and forums for that matter).

I first started reading visual novels in December 2013 thanks to the recommendation of a friend (Katawa Shouju was my first VN for those who are interested). Once I've gotten the equipment necessary I plan to do a review show on VNs which I'm really looking forward to doing.

 

I hope that I can contribute to this forum and the site in the near future and I look forward to working with you all.

[What is your most hated VN character?]

Taichi from Cross Channel

 

the guy was a dick, rarely funny, annoying and completely ruined the story for me.

Thank you everyone.

 

I'm more excited then ever to get involved in this awesome community! 

[Translation Process]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of Fuwanovel

 

I've been playing a whole bunch of visual novels recently and was wondering about the specific process done to make a fan-made translation.

 

I'm someone who would really like to contribute to this site one day, so could someone please enlighten me on how the work is done?
