Bad writing on the forums with a shitty font? Rooke is the senator. Good game thread.

Looks like Kenji was right... If only Japan listened to him.

Two years ago, today, I was pulling out all the stops trying to get Aaeru and Steve (the last two hold-outs!) to contribute a quote to Ryoji's Happy Birthday/Get Well card. He was pretty sick at the time, and we were all worried about him. Aaeru wasn't really good at that sort of thing, and Steve was still enjoying the thrill of being obnoxious ( ) (< 3 steve), and I pretty much had to ruthlessly guilt-trip them into oblivion to make it happen. I still remember sitting in my grandparents' kitchen thinking about how time was running out: it was 11:00 PM my time (10P Ryoji's time) and the card still hadn't come together. I was madly hunting Steve down (PMs, chat channels, email -- whatever it took), and Aaeru was "idk what to say O.O"-ing for an hour over it. But I was close. So close. ... ... aaaand it didn't end up coming together in time. THANKS AAERU ( ) (< 3 aaeru). But that's okay: I did end up eventually getting extracting the quotes and sent him the card a day late. I don't think he'd mind if I shared it, so here it is for the memories: Fast forward two years to 2015. A lot has changed. A lot has stayed the same (such as the Gravity Green 2013 theme for all of those who haven't sold out to be FuwaFabulous). I had this very weird moment as I logged in today to wish Ryoji a happy birthday and started typing on his profile page where I realized that just one program over -- one ALT+TAB away -- in OneNote I have charted the next year or more of Fuwanovel's future. I had this crazy moment of deja vu and nostalgia oddly juxtaposed against all of the new plans. There were a lot of complex emotions. So. What am I saying? I suppose I simply wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on Fuwanovel for being here. Yes, it's just a hobby site, but I've made a lot of friends here and I have a lot of fun together with you. I think a lot of us have funny little FuwaMemories like this we occasionally remember, and that makes me happy. The next few months are going to be bumpy -- I'm dealing with some new site issues which will be tricky to resolve (but possible, thanks to Nay's jedi guidance and help) -- but I promise to do my best to make sure Fuwanovel is here in another two years, and two more after that. After all, somebody has to wish Ryoji a happy birthday 'round here. : ) Happy Birthday, Ryoji. And DrKleiner! And Fiya, Khodan, and Hidekyu! -- And Keaton and Checkmate!

To be honest, I'm kinda depressed that the poll didn't even list music. Some VNs aren't called sound novels for nothing.

I had a blast making some cards. Thought I might as well share them with everyone Oh, if you want to get your very own card and you're not on the initial ones I made, just say. Telling me which character your avatar is would be helpful too~

I'm with you there. I see dating sims as a reaction, not a cause, and generally I find the causation augment relies upon stereotypes built on other stereotypes.

This is a long comprehesive guide It has now been moved to the mainsite. to read it click the chapter images for the individual parts: note: part 4-5 not made yet. but hopefully will be added in future

Just gonna say that Mr. Meogii is best Meogii! Meogii/10

Thank you guys all for your responses! Just to make a few clarifications, I am published author and will for sure be focusing a lot of energy on the story no matter what. This poll wasn't meant for the purpose of making you guys choose one or the other, but just the thing/s that are MOST important to YOU in a VN. Also, there WILL be music, and the reason it's not on the poll is because that is hands down, unarguably, already going to be a big part of the project . One more question for those listening, how would you feel about having a game that has three or so playable characters, each one with a fairly broad but different personality type. Each character would be in the same story, but would just be playing it from a different angle. That way your initial play through feels sort of personality-tailored (maybe not) and then you can go back and play through the other perspectives. It might sound weird, but give it an honest thought and tell me what you think!

I'd let her out. Then she can do what she wants. I'm not a monster.

I see what you did there.

hello hello everyone, here's Tyr i just went to my storage and took a photo using an old mirror there, the lighting is bad. lolsz sry if the size is massive, blame my phone please . by the way, do everyone have your photo as a child? lolz i really want to see that. (once again sorry if this is out of topic).

Here~ Any thoughts on the cards are welcome too.

Don't worry, the winner will not be picked just because he/she has a picture of Mare. LOL

I started using this site since who knows and finally decided to make an account way back in 2013. Guess what year it is now? I hope you guys won't bully me.... D:

Happy valentine~~~ i`ll share some chocs and here for some real chocolate Have a good valentine guys~~~

To be honest, as a huge Key fan your singature invokes multiple feelings of envy and jealousy in me.

D D for dump her out of the box and play with the box instead.

I'm interested, but I'm scared I won't be able to do a good job since I've always been in the mentee position rather than mentor. I'll try regardless!

I'd like to join as well~ Even though I don't have much time to read vns, I'd still like to make new friends :'D

Sounds interesting. I'm in.

I've always wanted to be a senpai~! Although, even though I have been around for a little over a month, I feel like I am still a little too new. o: Regardless! I am still interested. Edit: I really hope this is normal science and not Dwarf Fortress !!SCIENCE!!

Say "Oh great, they got the hair colour wrong" and send her back.

Seems like a nice idea. I'm interested~

I`m interested to be a senpai~~ and i already read fair enough of Vns(English and some Japanese vns)

So I bought Atelier Rorona Plus and so far it has been a good game. Its my first time seeing a game have this time management idea with quests which is definitely cool. So far it has been a pretty good game and I would consider playing others in the series.

Congratulations to Tyrael and Cryillej1 for winning the prizes! I will message you in a few days with additional details. Thanks again everyone, and look for task 3!

D throw some oil and fire. OH YEAH BABY..FLAME!! now i need to get my marshmallow.

B-b-but she's just an innocent girl you know, just 14 years old and all you know.... and especially after the second half.... .... .......Ah who am I kidding, should've make her die for more tragedy and then reincarnate her as the embodiment of Sea God with an 180 personality switch. That way it'll make her a proper Moe Jesus.

Even if you say it doesn't matter, "it's good enough as it is" is a thing people have said about every major technological advancement in history (including many people 10-15 years ago when HDTVs were first hitting the market). Even on medium sized TVs and computer monitors, we aren't yet to the pixel density on most displays where increased resolution would be imperceptible to the human eye, outside of Apple's eyefinity displays. Once we get to that point, THEN we can be happy with what we have... and also when we start going into holographic displays. This is wildly off topic though so let's end the discussion with that.

Good luck with the project

Prose and art would be the most important things, imo. They are the two fundamental parts of a VN. I would say "plot" but you can tell a good story without a good plot, and I would say "characters" but you can also tell a good story without good characters. I'll say "style" instead. Welcome to Fuwa! As an OELVN fan I eagerly await your future game :3

The first "problem" of that process was the VN you're looking for. If my Heart had Wings you can easily get over Steam -> That means it is licensed by MoeNovel -> No DL on Fuwanovel for that. But their are Informations about the release and even a link to the Site of MoeNovel, if you click on the first result of the search. Also you can DL the rstoration patch. For all other VN's which don't fall under the category of "licensed VN" the Browse Tab & the search their works perfectly. I never had problems with that.

I'm almost done with chapter 5 of Hanzo. I have to say, Hibari moved way up my favorites list this game. BTW, do I need a separate save file for each story or can I put them all on the same one?

Episode 18 of Nagi no Asukara Misc. Comments(spoilers) Manaka: I adore her so much. Yes she's a complete trainwreck when it comes to.. idk... common sense(?) in her interactions with others, but there's just something very charming in how earnest she is. Looks up Tsumugu's family name (Kihara) because Hikari was mad that she called Tsumugu by his first name. Tried to annoy Uroko-sama so she could be cursed with the fish-knee again since Tsumugu thought it was cute ...and a bunch of other little things <3 Chisaki: she's hot. 'Nuff said. Oh wait, she's 14 isn't she? LOL fine, she's pretty~ *Waits for Episode 14 time-skip* Woot she's 19 now. And even more hot! /creep Kaname: This guy's the pebble on the side of the road. Lel jk jk, but really Kaname's presence is soo little. He can't have any rivalry-bro moments with Hikari cuz that's reserved for Tsumugu, and both Chisaki+Manaka like Hikari+Tsumugu. The fact that he likes Chisaki just feels slapped on to complete the love triangle. (She's hot though so you get +1 for good taste). Tsumugu: Typical 'silent, cool guy' type. But unfortunately he lacks the cool factor for me. I don't see why Manaka oogles over him >.>. c'mon girl, he compliments you once and all of a sudden you're head over heels for him?!!! The 'love-at-first-sight' moments are lame as well. Miuna + Sayu: Love their dynamics. Also really love how they're just kids pre-time skip and then become teenagers post-time skip. Obvious is obvious but it's such a treat to actually get to see characters growing up~ Akari: I kinda felt ehh about Akari because I was being selfish and wanted the story to focus more on the main crew instead, but her story was actually pretty well done now that I think about it ~~~ Really enjoying how the time skip was handled. It changed alot of the character interactions & dynamics in a very interesting way; Chisaki + Tsumugu being 5 years older than Hikari + Kaname who are now the same age as Miuna + Sayu. Also, wow I totally didn't even realize Miuna was crushing on Hikari (and Sayu with Kaname). Hikari x Chisaki reunion was wonderful~ The mutual relationship b/w Chisaki + Tsumugu is interesting to watch. Especially when they took in Kaname. Just makin' tea together in silence >.>. What are the odds of these two becoming a couple? ~~~ Looking forward to how Manaka will fit in with everybody when / IF they find her Still awaiting the Avalanche of Overdramatic Annoyance~

Order must be restored, even if we have to violate nature in the process.

Ahh wonderful kid picture when I was little with my mom, and sis sry if the size is massive, blame my phone please . by the way, do everyone have your photo as a child? lolz i really want to see that. (once again sorry if this is out of topic). Ahh found a old picture of my mom when me and my sis were younger such great times picture from about year 2010 with me and my 2 fun nephews And a recent one from 2014 of our baby daughter!

is this the reddit is this just fantasy caught in a forum thread no, this is reddit

Well, you won the actual best girl tournament last year (you beat my best girl Holo in the finals, too! BAH) so you don't have anything to complain about, really

While a lot of the picks in the first round proved that Reddit has incurable shit taste, Kazuki isn't actually that bad.

Yeah this has been discussed already. I didn't watch the video because >videos though. I highly doubt a lot of people could replace real relationships with fictional ones. Our needs in term of socialization vary from people to people but it's still always there to a degree. Also thinking dating sims could have an effect on population decrease in japan sounds pretty insane to me. If anything they're a small consequence, not even a cause. The phenomenon lies in a combination of various societal factors like the unavoidable population aging and birth rate decline of current developed countries (especially big here because the immigration is small), the fact that the typical relationship and subsequent couple situation in japan is not adapted anymore to the current society and the general trend of japanese males towards apathy.

That would be Weedy (Unhack) And Sakura. FSN Sakura. Who is the best girl. And Saber. (FSN) And Chie from Kira-Kira. EDIT: These choices may or may not have been influenced by the fact that I played Unhack this AM, I'm in the middle of writing the FSN-HA guide, and I was recently contacted to help co-write an article on VNs which uses Kira Kira as an example.

All this time... I've been working with a monster and never realized it. .

I think I did this correctly, going by the excellent example set by Fuwa role model Nosebleed.

They know.
