Totodile Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Ok for those of you who know what an abridged anime is , and even those of you who don't, what would you guys think about having an Abridged VN? it would be great to take a crappy/mediocre VN that had some nice CG and completely rework the script for a better release. For VNs such as Cannonball which, in my opinion, could have had a much better script we could have a fan made and sponsored Abridged patch. What do you guys think?

Down Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yes, but only if batman is writing the script. Hm, to be honest I don't know if this would work as well for VNs as it does for anime. Katatsumuri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertMouse Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It is certainly worth a try! Abridged anime can be hilarious and I would be keen to see the same thing attempted for VNs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might get away with it, especially if we bribe batman with a double moe cookie and get him to write a bitchin script Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalor Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Once I thought about hacking Kanon, altering the translation script to my fancy (kind of like abridging it), and then re-patching it. That would also require hacking the game to display sprites and CGs when you want to. When I sat down and started trying to learn how to hack VNs, I lost all my previous motivation.

Sort of how i feel when i try to translate a VN, i normally give up mid download of the VN itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It would be kind of funny to abridge Katawa Shoujo, it's been done quite well in some comic strips. It would also be be against their CC license, but whether anyone gives a shit is debateable (arguably covered under fair use as parody in the US as well? I suppose you might have to rely too heavily on the original assets...). Of course doing it to anything Japanese would have equal legal status, but with fan patches the way they are it's kind of a moot point in that case.

RinXD Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well in the case of most bad VNs who wouldn't want a totally different game As ive been told repeatedly on here that is a opinion some people may enjoy what you consider bad so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Danganronpa was kind of done (its anime adaptation) and it is nothing short of a masterpiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGEEfqzKDCs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
