Do you have what it takes to be an Idol? Take the role of a fledgling Idol student in a story filled to the brim with ear-grabbing melodies, soul-binding friendships and eye-catching boys that will set your heart on full-time "doki-doki" mode! Official Website: https://www.i-duelproject.com/ The game will be made using RPG Maker MV. A hybrid Yaoi Visual Novel and Role Playing Game, players control the protagonist (default name: Yuuki Nekota) as he attends the prestigious Andromeda Academy, a school for male Idols. Upon arriving, he realizes that the Academy uses virtual simulation technology known as the I-DUEL System to manage and evaluate their students. The I-DUEL Battle is a core aspect in this System, where two or more Idols duke it out on a simulated stage with the intent of "knocking out" the competition. To climb the ladder to stardom, the protagonist must use his time wisely to attend classes, train each of the eight unique Idol Stats and win as many I-DUEL Battles as possible, using clothing and accessories known as I-Décors to get ahead! The end goal is to emerge victorious in the Academy's year-end musical festival of stars, the Dream Idol Coronation (DIC)! However, there's more to school than studying to be the very best! The main character can form friendships, rivalries and even romances with their schoolmates! There are twelve major characters that can be dated, each with their own unique personalities, principles and plot progression to follow! These same people can also be partnered up on I-DUEL Battles, forming parties known as Idol Units! One such Idol Unit is MYTH4, with their current titles as Crown Princes, having won the previous year's DIC. A member of this Unit even has a connection to our protagonist - the Unit leader Sora Torao, who once helped him out from a bind and inspired him to take the arduous path of an Idol! Even with his days busy with classes, clubs and cultivating closeness with his companions, the protagonist also struggles with a unique power only bestowed to him - the Copycat. Though an Idol possesses an I-Bility - a special yet exclusive skill that can trigger in I-DUEL Battles - the main character has the rare and mysterious gift of learning and using more than one. Why did the I-DUEL System grant this peculiar but incredible power to him? What kind of legacy will you lead him to? His fate splits into many roads, which one is the right path to take? Claim the title of best Idol in the school! Attend lessons, take auditions and aim for the gigs that will propel you to stardom! Every moment counts, so manage your time to hone each of the eight Idol Stats that measure your true star potential~ Compete in hot-blooded I-DUEL battles! Idols just don’t sing and dance, they duel to the last man standing~ Fight in turn-based battles with the intent of depleting your opponents’ Live Points, unleashing charming Appeals, explosive Specials, shocking Counters and more! Who knew Idol shows could be this entertaining?! Challenge your rivals and team up with friends! The road need not be taken alone~ Find people to form Idol Units with or compete against in the search for the event with the best rewards! Whichever path you take, you’re sure to get closer and closer! Cultivate friendships, romance and more?! Twelve unique boys with their own strengths, shortcomings and stories await you! With their fates so closely intertwined with yours, to whom will you selflessly share your spotlight with? Collect outfits, gossip, pictures and musical pieces and experience unique endings! Explore the campus and the town, experiment with I-Décors and examine every little thing that catches your attention! Every choice you make leads you to a different path, so be brave and grasp the ever-changing future with your own two hands… The main character who can be named differently by the player. After being encouraged by Sora Torao two years prior and given a special I-Décor, he finally attends Andromeda Academy as a first year student. However, he knew next to nothing about the I-DUEL System and would have definitely failed his admission audition, if not for the timely awakening of his unique Copycat power. Energetic and positive to a fault, he is extremely nice and sociable to the point of being annoying, but people find his cheerful smile and earnest heart difficult to hate. Though usually good-natured and open-minded, he is also equipped with some biting sarcasm when dealing with unreasonable situations. He greatly idolizes Sora and gets easily excited when his beloved senpai gives him attention. Ranked as the number one Idol of the entire school, MYTH4's leader Sora Torao is a celebrity to most but an enigma to those closest to him. Moving to his own rhythm, he is a bit air-headed and slightly ditzy, but does a complete hundred-eighty degrees turn when performing. Unusually for a top Idol and a Crown Prince, Sora lazes around without a care in the world. Straightforward and perpetually smiling, though he seemed to no longer see the Idol industry as the shining beacon of the future he once preached to an underclassman in his times of trouble. Sora is a Cute-and-Cool-Type Idol and uses the I-Dominion "Tiger's Gaze" in I-DUEL Battles. Several more characters will be introduced soon~ Bonus White Day Illustration: Take our Pre-Game Survey to convey your expectations of the game!

We are currently recruiting Composers and Vocalists for the game! E-mail us at http://iduelproject@gmail.com for more details! Do you have a working demo of the game? Not yet! But we plan to release one as soon as possible. Will the game go through Kickstarter? That's the plan once a demo had been sorted out. Will there be explicit sex scenes? How about rape, sex toys and bondage? Yes, there will probably be 18+ scenes, but they can be skipped. It would always be with consent and sex toys and bondage will not be included in the "base" game, to make sure we don't alienate anyone. Still, it's up for debate. Is the main character an exclusive top or exclusive bottom? Neither. Even though his last name might give you ideas (*winks*), our MC's position depends on his partner. So yes, there will be times where he is the top and a few more where he bottoms. Will there be more BL-related puns? Yes, there will be more and there's nothing you can do about it. ~ o 0 o ~ Thanks for reading the entire post~ We sincerely hope that the game piqued your interest! Lastly, any feedback would be very much appreciated!

Hello guys, name's Jeremiah Sand, and I'm here posting this thread because I need some help with releasing a patch for this game I've been working on for a while. Background Some months ago I started translating Sen no Hatou to English and I was committed to finish the project, but due to me switching to a more professional enviroment in translations I no longer have much time to dump into the project and I fear that at the speed I'm going it'll never come out, so I'd like to release everything I've done until now, or at least the contents that the game trial covers. Progress so far Around 20k lines translated (the trial covers 10k lines) and tlc'd (except maybe the last thousand) ready to be edited at any moment. I wouldn't mind releasing as it is if I could, but the main issues holding me back are: 1. I lack an editor, the previous one ghosted me, and I'm an ESL so I fear some parts might need the help of a native to improve the reading experience. 2. Although I have a tool that is supposed to insert the text into the game said tool doesn't work, and thus I am left without a means to insert back text or images. I can't extract any images either. 3. (Optional) I would not mind having a couple of QCs at my disposal if possible, but having the text edited is a priority and I won't accept any form of QC until I have confirmation that the editing has been finished. 4. Probably not an issue, but maybe I need image editing, depending on whether the guy who was open to help me is atill available or not. So yeah, that's everything. Maybe a trial patch is not what people seek, but I'd really like to get this out as I've been working very hard on it and I would like to encourage someone to maybe continue with what I did, unless enough people would ask me to see this until the end, and in that case I would highly consider doing so. VNDB link: https://vndb.org/v15708 Extra things: 1. I will translate both openings that appear in the trial and add video lyrics if possible in them (if I have the means to do so). 2. I will translate the UI if I have the means to do so, just like the OPs. If anyone haa extra questions by all means, I'm available here and in discord (Jeremiah Sand#4446). Don't PM there to troll, you will be met with an instablock if you do so. If this threads lack any critical info please let me know so I can add it asap. Thanks for reading so far, and hopefully something comes out of this. Have a good day and may the Lord bless you all, Jeremiah. EDIT: I've found someone willing to do the engine stuff for me, so thanks to @Porygon2 for that. I've already gotten some messages worried about my work "not being up to standards" (without having even seen it) since I'm a random and this is a Fan Translation, so if you want to help but feel the need to see if my work is good or not for your standards PM me and I'll gladly show my work to prove its quality.

My name is Tim Reichert, I'm also known as FulminisIctus, and I would like to offer you my services as an audio director! I’ve been active as a musician in the indie visual novel scene for over half a decade now, mainly focusing on music composition but also doing a lot of sound design, voice over editing and taking on individual tasks that fall under audio direction. I also make music tutorials, have spoken at the visual novel conference and regularly help out by tutoring or answering questions of fellow musicians or devs thanks to my experience in the scene, which further adds to my potential as an audio director. Why should you hire an audio director? An audio director - makes sure that the quality of assets stays on a consistently high level and that their direction stays on track to make sure that elements such as genre or instrumentation are consistent - handles the mentoring and instruction of audio personnel - searches for and hires audio personnel - works together with the other departments, this way for example assuring that the art and audio fits together or working out ways to enhance the audio expression through programming - creates resource lists and works together with the lead director to set the audio direction - acts as a liaison for the communication between lead director and audio personnel This of course doesn’t mean that I need to take on all of these tasks. The lead director can for example of course still take on hiring themselves and within a small team it might not be necessary for the audio director to act as a liaison between the lead director and audio team. In a video game firm you have an audio director (sometimes this position is split into a music director and a sound director) so that the tasks are better distributed and the one working with the audio personnel is someone with the necessary knowledge to be able to instruct them. It’s not much different in an indie team. I know many game devs who have voiced their concerns about not being able to give good instructions to their composers because they lack the music theory and audio production terminology and knowledge and these problems can definitely result in a more difficult working experience for both parties. Same for finding and hiring the right composers, being able to differentiate between qualitatively great and passable audio assets and giving instructions on how to improve said assets. With this it doesn’t even matter too much if I, as the audio director, were to only direct a pair of musicians or as much as a ten man audio team since I would either way be able to make communication much smoother and take some of the most difficult and potentially frustrating audio related tasks off your hands so you can concentrate on improving and working on the game in all the other areas. Payment: My current goal is furthering my portfolio in audio direction, which is why I’m happy to take on free and revenue share positions. Contact: I'm best available per E-Mail (contact[at]tim-reichert.com), but you can also write me a PM if you'd prefer that. Feel free to check out my website if you’d like to learn more about me: https://tim-reichert.com Please let me know if you have any questions!

#otome #humor #romantic #resource_management //could be changed [project_name]«Endless development»[/project_name] [genre] visual novel with resource strategy [/genre] Cheers, ladies and gentlemen! Enrakh Tales team welcomes you! In 2018, we have finished our project ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBVYhrYf4cI&list=PL3X5-RJhe4-4HrvCC9Ll17i7Qtx6S2v_Q ) , SORRY it’s in Russian, but «Endless development» is gonna be in English). Now are rested and ready to new heroic deeds. We’ve made a lot of mistakes and learnt a lot, so now we want to create something completely different: a fun and interactive VN about working in the game industry. It’s going to be an otome with resource management elements (we were inspired by Long Live The Queen, but are going to create a more narratively focused game compared to LLTQ). This time, our project is going to be commercial. Our plan is to create a demo version by the end of 2019 (both in English and Russian), upload it to kickstarter and crowdfund further development in this way. We’ve designed our characters, the basic plot structure, scenes which we’ll include in the demo and the game mechanics. We are looking for enthusiasts who want to help us with our beautiful mission. We’re developing the demo for free, but the funds gathered through the kickstarter campaign will be distributed between our team members. The people we need right now are: 1) Sprite artist. The artstyle we’re aiming for is the more ‘western’ cartoon style rather than the anime-inspired aesthetic used in a lot of VNs. A good example would be Game Grumps’ Dream Daddy. 2) Background artist. 3) UI designer. This includes designing UI for the game in general and for the various minigames we’re including as part of the game’s mechanics. Also, you’ll be responsible for creating banner graphics (for example, for the Kickstarter page) 4) Any help with marketing would be highly appreciated Currently our team is: 1, 2) Enona & Marakh. Core of the project, narrative and development. 3) Petr. Programmer. 4) Dshpet. Composer. If you are interested PM me, or FB (ioanna.ferens) or telegram (@inkubb).

Hello all! I'm a visual novel writer and head of Divine Games Studio, where I'm currently wrapping up my first big release Bog. To fund some of the final assets I'm looking for another writing gig on the side. I've tried outsourced writing for other visual novels before but the project would fall off before I was paid, and as such, I will expect a certain amount paid upfront for projects. For me costs, turnaround time, and other details please email me at YourGeekGoddess@outlook.com, as I likely won't be on here often. For examples of my work download the demo for Bog here: https://bog.divinegames.studio/download or email me for further writing samples. Thank you for your interest.

Hello everyone, we have started working on a reinsertion project for Sonohana 12. We need an editor who's passioned about Yuri VN, not just Sonohana 12 or that series in particuliar (Since we can get C&D anytime by MG). Someone fluent in english and preferably japanese would be ideal. The translation needs a thorough editing pass since the translator speaks in a dialect. The translated text reinserted perfectly, had to do the line breaking manually though. We can provide screenshots if needed about the current progress. If you are interested, contact me in this thread and I will PM you with the discord server URL. In the case of a DMCA/C&D request, please send a message with an account backtrackable to a legit copyright owner. I will fully respect your request and move to an another Yuri VN who's not related to this series. Thank you very much for your interest.

He wishes to fall in love like in an eroge, but everyone just makes fun of him for it. His time came when he was asked to work part-time at a popular bakery restaurant named La Pivoine which just happens to be a garden filled with pretty workers. With the chance laid upon him, he thought its time to kiss his single life goodbye.

Hello friends! This is newly formed translation group Kinniku22, and we have decided that after 15 years of going untranslated, we're gonna try our hand at developing a fan translation of the Studio Mebius VN, Snow The Visual Novel: "The story of Snow starts when the main protagonist Izumo Kanata visits a small village called Ryujinmura (village of the dragon god) to help his cousin Tsugumi manage a local hotel with hot springs. In the village there is an old legend: In ancient times, the village is protected by the dragon goddess. However, one day the dragon goddesses fell in love with a human, which is strictly forbidden, and this incident finally caused the village to be always covered by snow after that. The game then tells the daily life of the protagonist in the village, and finally links the story to the legend of dragon goddess." The Project: Snow is a Nakige released way back in 2003, and has gained a bit of a reputation as an enigma. Many who have played it claim it is good, some even say one of the best, yet all these years later it is not only hard to acquire, but there's been next to nothing on any sort of fan translation. We aim to change that. This translation will also be of the "Plus Edition" of Snow, which contains full voices and an extra route. This is an 18+ version of the game. Team Members: Right now it's just myself and a fellow who goes by the name of Takafumi. We'll be handling the development of the patch itself and the QC, as well as a bit of the translating. We're looking to recruit some folks here from the community who would like to see this project done. Anyone experienced/fluent in Japanese that can communicate with the team in English is more than welcome to come on board! Progress: As we have only just begun, we're busy combing through the files for now. We estimate about 76,000 lines needing to be translated, about a thousand more than the original Little Busters! This section will be updated as we gain more team members and the project gets rolling. Recruitment: As mentioned above, we're looking for translators to help us with this. I'm sure many people would love to help out with this, but due to the sheer amount of translating that needs to be done, we're looking for folks who are pretty experienced, if not fluent in Japanese. We're also native English speakers, so please be able to speak English on a conversational level so we can all communicate properly! This is also a for-fun translation project, so we're not asking any new team members to devote every second of their lives to this. Unless they want to, of course! Contact Info: If you have questions or wish to join the project, you can message me here or contact me at Rinny#0558 on Discord! The latter method is much more preferable, as I have the mobile app and will therefore be able to talk with people both at home and away.

Original Fakku forum release: Thanks to the help from a kind benefactor, I acquired the Steam release. Steam users can now y o r o k o b e. Figuring out how the Steam release worked was such a damn pain. Not much was updated, apart from a few thousand scene seek thumbnails. Mainly giving Steam users some love. MAITETSU 18+ RESTORATION PATCH v1.3 7-10-2018 MAITETSU 18+ STEAM RESTORATION PATCH v1.3 7-10-2018 Maitetsu WIP Decensor patch thread The main issues I was dealing with while making that patch that most certainly limited how much I can do are: 1. KrkrExtract just doesn't want to cooperate majority of the time when extracting XP3's. 2. When it does, it doesn't even extract the stuff I needed. 3. Repairing the sprites requires my being able to repack EMote .pbs files with edited .bmp images. Not hard at all to do, just repacking is the issue AFAIK 4. The data.xp3 is encrypted. About half of it KrkrExtract can get done, but the half that i'd need to fully repair the "filesystem" I guess you can say into something usable is. 5. God help me TJS2 bytecode is one of the most disgusting atrocities I have seen. Bless based nihongo tools If there is anyone out there who knows the KiriKiriZ engine or EMote engine, your input is always welcome. Suzu ga besto desu

I'm looking for folks to translate some old vanilla nukiges by the (now renamed to Milk Factory) group SQUEEZ. If you are interested in giving these VN's a proper translation, send me a DM or reply in the thread. Lets make the dream come true.

Baku Ane ~We'll Squeeze it out, Little Brother!~ TL Project Original Title: Baku Ane ~Otouto Shibocchau zo!~ (ばくあね ～弟しぼっちゃうぞ！～) Developer: Atelier Kaguya BARE&BUNNY Website: http://www.a-kaguya.com/products_bb/products_bb.html VNDB Link: https://vndb.org/v13943 Synopsis: The protagonist is a famous soccer player, but due to a leg injury from a game, he must now rest until it heals. When he returns home, he is warmly greeted by his 4 older sisters whom he hasn't seen for a long time. However, because his clubmates have play a prank on him and fill his bag with H-manga, their relationships immediately plummet after they find out about it. While trying to explain the situation to no avail, one of them suggests that they themselves should help him escape the 2D world and be interested in healthy adult women. Little does he know, all of his sisters love him more than a brother. And so, this is the beginning of a ridiculous erotic life between our protagonist and his 4 tempting older sisters. Archangel's Thoughts: Ugh, I'm sorry, but I couldn't look at that disgusting original post anymore. It looked so cringeworthy, and tried so desperately hard to be "KOOL" and "HIP" and "RAD". So, I cleaned up the opening post to look more presentable, and more straightforward.

Hello, I don't know if I should write this here... Ehm, the point is... I'd like to extract Honeycomb Bingo Deluxe's and Umisen Yamasen's, both bara novels (Muscular BL), scripts but I'm unable to do so because I don't have enough knowledge. My main problem is the encryption in both of these games. Honeycomb Bingo Deluxe is a 2008 Kirikiri VN with a *.tpm encryption. Whenever I try to extract the files inside, out of 19,193 I always get around 18,500 files. This is done with: KrkrExtract, kiri_sm.exe and GARbro. Most of them are the images. KS files, a few have few lines, but I believe those are for events, rather the main files and the configuration files. Because of the year it was published, I don't think it's the new kirikiriZ engine, so I guess I'm safe from that devil (which I've read is a nuisance). But the encryption. The damn encryption it's nowhere to be found... yet. Basing myself out of this comment made by morkt in May, I believe the encryption for this game is only a filter. And although I've tried to follow his steps on to how to get there, I don't really see any patterns in the HEX viewers... Not even found the Function he talks about in the DLL, using Dependency walker... But it seems easy, or at least that's how he paints it. There's also Marcusacana's posts in LionCash's Github, he removed or at least got the hands on a clean extraction of Nekopara's script. But I haven't contacted him on how he did it. Umisen Yamasen, in the other hand, is a FamousWriter0191 VN. The SDK is lost, I couldn't find anything of it... not even the SDK or manuals... Instead, I found some extraction tools for FamousWriter0310 made by lennylxx for Handsome Academy. When I tried to use them, well, I got hit immediately by a wall. I didn't even knew which way to divide the src.fwd file. And so I asked. Which let me even further. I divided in six parts, and I was able to distinguish the offsets. And I was even able to parse out the voice file list, which got me excited! But when I had to parse the file... Well... nothing good happened. The parse.exe would hang and it'd create a bigger and bigger file. Thinking that maybe I had mistakenly compiled the .cpp, I remembered Hatoful Boyfriend was made in the same engine, and sadly (for me) the same version. So when I tried to run the parse.exe with the trial src.fwd it worked, without problems! (Or it seems, I think the scripts are aren't really complete... But I don't really know, I haven't read Hatoful or Handsome). And now, well, I can't get past this encryption either because even though I know where the scenario file starts... I don't know what's the offset, padding, encryption key, etc. And so, I made this post because I wanted some help. I wanted someone to do it, or help me do it, teach me how to... I even tried reading both of Nakamura's articles about visual novel hacking. But I couldn't really follow it, not even for the simple UmiYama VN. I got to the part of entities, but because the src.fwd file is encrypted I didn't saw anything he did, all I saw was gibberish, and got stuck. I'm still trying, but without a real sense of direction... I don't know what steps to take... That's why I want some help. Thank you for reading.

Soo, as the question says, is anyone interested in making a visual novel? I'm an aspiring writer and ever since I've read Katawa Shoujo - besides the fact that it moved me to tears - and reading about how the devs started the whole thing, it gave me a bit of hope that maybe I could do some of it as well with those interested enough. I don't care if you're a pro or simply passionate about writing/ coding/ art design, all that I ask of you guys is just to be willing to do this and be serious about it. If you've never tried art design or coding but you've been interested in it for a long time to do so, or if you've thought about writing but never did it before, I think this is a really cool chance to see if you like the thing, and who knows, if we do manage, we'll forge new friendships on the way as well, so there's nothing to lose really. Just one thing that I ask is that you guys are really willing to go through a whole visual novel, the idea that I had is not too long, so it's not like we'll be working for years and years to come, it's just something simple and free for the rest to enjoy.Now, for the idea itself: I've been thinking about a teacher's life, and the story is about a guy who just finished college who joins this new school and makes new friends among teachers and students alike, hangs out with some of them and tries his best at improving his own skills, etc. and, finds love in the meantime. It's not something original nor that interesting but it should be something fun to me and anyone else who's interested in writing can work on, and of course, not to mention the art designers and those willing to work on the coding. I just thought it would be fun, something done by amateurs that could prove to be really fun in the process. And as a last thing to mention, I've never worked on art design or coding before, but if in the process anyone finds himself or herself in need of a helping hand, I'm sure I could try and so some stuff in the other categories as well, and so could the rest of the people joining. Cheers!

"Hello everyone, I come with a translation project And it is the visual novel "Otome Domain" Vndb: https://vndb.org/v18149 Description from VNDB: thinks about how he was blessed to have family, but dryly laughs about how he’ll need to take care of himself now. However, during the funeral of his grandmother, someone named Kazari approaches him and offers to admit him into a prestigious school, in addition to providing him a place to reside. Minato immediately and thankfully takes up on this offer, but soon realizes that the Suzu Academy is an all-girl’s school, and the "ojou-sama" that he’ll be residing with has flaws of their own which really shattered his expectation for a high-class lady.
