Steve Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Too bad I had this idea too late so I have no idea how long I spent in some of the VNs (all I know is that LB must have been 200+ hours, because I replayed common twice and also did all minigames and everything and all the "bosses") anyway I can recommend this http://www.gameplay-...en/default.aspx it only tracks when you are actually reading the VN and have the window active so if you are tabbed out browser or whatever, it stops tracking which is handy (although it counts tabbing in and out as a RUN so it is not correct intofmation, I really dont have 200 sessions of FH xD) You add the exe into the detection so it can really track anything you want the rest what it auto detects you can delete (like it detected flash player for me so I banned detection of that) anyway here is my graph from end of october 2012 to now hosimemo is only because of when I want to go there to remember some of the moments, its about 15 minutes xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeyamati Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lol you spent 43 seconds on Planetarian? Tsktsk, it deserves so much more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowtsuku Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lol you spent 43 seconds on Planetarian? Tsktsk, it deserves so much more than that. +1 Anyway, I think this is more useful when reading Japanese VN to track your reading time.

Daeyamati Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 +1 Anyway, I think this is much useful when reading Japanese VN to track your reading time. That's a good idea. I haven't thought of it like that. I'll use this eventually, when I can read an untranslated VN without guides or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use this eventually, when I can read an untranslated VN without guides or anything. Honestly, I don't think it will do something that great if you use it for the English ones. I think people's reading speed to a certain language they have used for a long time doesn't really change that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Oh great, yet another thing to know how much time I spend on stuff! So far only Fate/Stay Night included an ingame time count, this'll be useful to know how long a VN actually is instead of very rough estimations.

Fate Stay Night includes the time you spend on viewing the CG though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 This app counts the amount of time you ran the .exe in active window, so it includes the time you spend in the extras too right? It's not like I spend a lot of time watching CGs anyway. Maybe half an hour of browsing the extras, compared with 70 hours of actual game, is not much ^^" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually show the extra when I show the VN to my friends so I probably have 1 hr from the extras in my 35 hrs of playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lol you spent 43 seconds on Planetarian? Tsktsk, it deserves so much more than that. lol planetarian was my first ever VN and I played it more then year ago, I didn't have tracker back then xD Those 43 sec is probably from launching to listen to the OST xD then I tab out of the window and listened xD This app counts the amount of time you ran the .exe in active window, so it includes the time you spend in the extras too right? It's not like I spend a lot of time watching CGs anyway. Maybe half an hour of browsing the extras, compared with 70 hours of actual game, is not much ^^" yeah watching CGs, replaying H scenes, everything xD I used to have nukiges there but then I deleted them because it was too messy, I try new one every day.

So far she's been cool with it, but yeah... um...no. Awesome, but not for me Luckily my boyf is always playing Guild Wars, so he can't really complain about me spending too much time on something Anyway, nice find, I might give this a try.. I'd probably actually be shocked at how little time I spend playing though instead of how much. Damn real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakimichi Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's quite handy, you need to force add a visual novel though just so this little baby could detect what your playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 yep, I add VNs manually and I remove all other games, only use it for VNs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
