Thought some of you may be interested in this. My interview with Marcus of InvertMouse on Cursed Sight. http://extramana.com/marcus-lam-of-invertmouse-interview-cursed-sight-visual-novel/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVc4RKQSHa8&list=UUbc0jPjgo4r_McbzaLajKWQ Being able to control fate would be a blessing for many. To Miyon, it is her greatest curse. East and West Taria are in conflict, and Miyon's power will be the most valuable weapon. Meanwhile, Gai has been sold by his family into Miyon's temple. Will the two save or destroy one another? Hello everyone ! Here is my latest project, Cursed Sight. It has in fact in brewing for quite a while now, and I am happy to finally be able to share it with you all. A demo version of the game is available here: http://cursedsight.invertmouse.com/demo.html So far, my most common feedback is that my previous titles were too short. With Cursed Sight, I am hoping to find a balance between staying succinct and satisfying the players' wishes. The full script is currently around 45,000 words long. Cursed Sight will also be my first release with multiple complete endings. There is currently a campaign to fund the full game. I hope to have your support: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1013046199/cursed-sight-visual-novel Cursed Sight is currently also on Steam Greenlight. If you could consider sparing a moment to vote, I would really appreciate it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=403682653 Here is Cursed Sight's webpage: http://cursedsight.invertmouse.com And a few screenshots: Before signing off, hey Rooke, Flutterz, thank you so much for helping me out earlier on. I will always remember your support . Nosebleed, thanks for letting me post this here as well. As discussed, please feel free to move this over to Ongoing Projects. Thank you so much everyone! Really appreciate you all as always.

Let this victory go down in history!

GIANT Contest ver. 3.2 Do you have what it takes? Greetings boys and girls and Ren. I am solidbatman, and for the next 8 weeks, I will be your worst nightmare. Think you're strong? Think you're smart? You are wrong. You are worthless, and I will be proving it to you through various cruel, torturous activities. In the past, I forced people to sing for me, draw, write fanfiction, search for hidden text. Many gave up. They were weak and evolution shall take care of them. Some, however, stayed strong, and rose to the top. I was defeated, and I was forced to pay them in Visual Novels. I AM BACK FOR REVENGE Here is how this competition will work. Every week, for the next 8 weeks, I will issue a challenge. Complete the challenge in a certain amount of time to receive points. The person with the most points at the end of the 8 weeks will win a big big prize. REMEMBER: You will have a chance to win as long as you participate in every week and put in effort. Drop out and miss multiple weeks, and you wont stand a chance. No one can clinch the competition before week 8. Now, on to the prizes. Just what might you all be winning? -ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two -Deardrops -Cho Dengeki Stryker -Infinity Plus full series -Pancake Mix And there will be more prizes added! OriginalRen has agreed to assist me in supplying prizes, direct from Japan. More info to come Now then, with that out of the way, let us move on to doing our first challenge. As a reminder, all off topic talk, or posts that are not an entry must be placed in spoiler tags. This is for my own sanity when I am reading through posts, adding up points. Points Tally Without any more delay, your week one challenge. WEEK 1 To start things off, just reply in this thread saying you wish to take part in this contest. All contestants will receive 5 points. Responding within 24 hours will start you off at 6 points. End Date: March 13 WEEK 2 Hi there! I'm not dead, as close as it felt. I am using what strength I have right now to give all of you a Week 2 message. Your challenge this week will separate the contenders from the pretenders for this week is a drawing challenge! Your challenge: Draw Batman into the Visual Novel of your choice The drawing does not have to be incredible, or even good. Just submit some sort of drawing of Batman in a visual novel to receive points. 5 points to everyone who posts a drawing by March 18th. 3 points for everyone who posts between March 18th and March 22nd. An extra 3 points to the person who posts my favorite work! WEEK 3 This past week we have learned, not all of you are the next great artist. In fact, almost none of you are going to be a Rembrandt. That said, good job to all of you for taking part. I ended up not being able to decide who to give the bonus points to, so I'll give them to both Beato, and Stray Cat. Good work you two! Now, on to this weeks challenge. I know not all of you are good artists, so this week, we'll get creative in a different way; writing. This week, your challenge, is to write a story about the dragon Gangamamer and its adventures in the land of Visnovella. There are no other guidelines, no other requirements. So for the love of god, don't ask. Just write. You will lose points for asking a question this round. WEEK 4 Ahhhh, I love how much effort you guys put into this. And no one fell for my trap of asking questions despite me not spelling out how much this past week was worth. Now to make you all super mad. There are no bonus points for week 3. Just 5 points for anyone who took part. I'll get around to points sheet ASAP (I have some papers for school to write first but I do have someone working on it for me). Now this week, there are bonus points, so don't worry. This weeks challenge will weed out the last of the casuals. We've had many drop already, but I expect this week to really destroy the willpower of those wanting an easy contest. What is the challenge this week you ask? Write a song based off the story you wrote for week 3. ​That's right. This week, you are to write a song based off the story you wrote just last week. This is a basic 5 point week. Respond within 24 hours with a song and receive 6 points instead. As for the bonus, anyone who sings their song (no music required) and posts it for everyone to listen will receive and unspecified amount of points. The less people who do it, the more the bonus will be. WEEK 5 DAY ONE Hello hello, and welcome to the daily challenges. Each day, you will be issued a challenge. Completing the challenge will net you 5 points towards this glorious competition. Now, I know many people have dropped out, which is a shame. Though... if everyone drops out, I won't have to give this stuff away. Right, so we have a goal this week now. Isn't that nice? Your first daily challenge is as follows: Mario is easily the face of Nintendo, and arguably the most recognizable figure in video games. Who would you say is the most recognizable character in Visual Novels, and why? DAY TWO Time for another question. What do you feel are the 5 most important letters of the English alphabet? Just a heads up, anyone in this competition who does not take part in the day 3 challenge tomorrow, will lose 10 points. DAY THREE Those who do not take part in Day 3, will lose 10 points I also... am not really sorry for this at all. Up to this point, I have been very nice to all of you with your challenges. That ends today. Your challenge today, is to write a 150+ word story, without using the 5 letters you picked in Day 2. If you use any of the 5 letters you picked in Day 2, you will lose 8 points, and face an even worse challenge for day 4. Fear not though, I do rubber band things towards to end. So be sure to remain strong through adversity. For I will not allow you to face impossible odds. DAY FOUR Have fun with Day Three? No? Good. Day Four will continue my mean streak. Take your Day Three story, pick two more letters to remove that are featured in your story more than 3 times a piece, and rewrite the whole story without those newly removed letters, with real, English words. As a final stipulation, there can be no words that end in -ing. Again, find two letters in your day 3 story that repeats more than 3 times a piece, and remove them while rewriting the story to match as close as possible to what you wrote. And remember, no words that end in -ing as well. 15 point challenge. WEEK 6 There is no day 7. I screwed up the timing and was a day behind. A fact I did not realize until today. Oh well, that gave me more time to plan an even more evil challenge than the Day 6 challenge that was so popular. Congrats to suikashoujo or whatever your name is for winning the 10 bonus points. Day 5 was worth 5, and Day 6 5. Now then, on to week 6. Week 6 is another scavenger hunt! Except this time, you will searching my posts on Fuwanovel for 22 red letters. Once you gather all 22 red letters, organize them into a specific phrase that I have picked. Once one person gets the correct answer, the week will end. This week is a winner take all week for the points, 20 of them. Except with a catch. ​You all may work together and provide hints and directions as you wish. Be mindful though, only the first person to get the correct solution will receive the 20 points for the week. On top of that, if the person who gets the correct answer first sits outside of the top point totals on my score sheet, then the top contest scorers will lose 20 points. If the person who wins is in the top scorers, then they will simply get 20 points and have a large lead going into Week 7. The top scorers currently are: Suika flutterz vibrantblade kata rose ivanlegato Godspeed ladies and gentlemen PS: Seriously, stop complaining and asking questions. Zodai, you will receive your verdict tomorrow. Also awaiting a possible judgement; Noah_Crises for simply replacing banned letters with x's and other letters while leaving a key. Note: If this is solved within 48 hours, I will add another one this week.

If there is an option for this, I can't find it. I just finished writing a really long post on my blog and I noticed that the blog software on the forum doesn't really compress the posts when you're just viewing the main blog page, it always shows the entire entry no matter what. So the "read full entry" option at the bottom is kind of pointless since it always shows the whole thing. But the major problem is really that with long posts it becomes a huge drag to scroll through blogs if you want to read previous posts, it's a little messy. I was hoping that there was a setting you could use to have posts stop after a certain point on the main page so they don't become insanely long. You could then use the "read full entry" option if you want to read the whole thing, as it should be.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll get rid of this thread soon. CAN I JUST SAY I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR PROFILE PIC AND SIGNATURE? If you couldn't tell from my name, I'm an avid ToAru fan~ Edit: Just realized I don't think I can get rid of this thread.

Happy birthday to Umi! She is my favorite character, and I will be using an avatar of her today. Let's all celebrate by hearing her wonderful voice.

Hahahahahaha.

Played against mania_ with my fully powered team.

Hi can you implement a 'Community Status' link to go with the Awards / Members / Calendar stuff in the Other Apps menu Currently there is no easy way to access it other than the direct link (that I know of, pls do let me know if there is another shortcut). (and lets not argue bookmarks cuz then you might as well say that for everything else then >.>) http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/statuses/all/ <- some interesting stuff going on every now and then and it'd be nice to access it easier Edit: upper right next to facebook/twitter icon is Open Navigation -> Community -> Member Status Updates is one way to access but I'd like a dedicated link in the Other Apps menu or something

So for the record, if blogs didnt exist, this would've been implemented sigh looks like i gotta bookmark then xD

I couldn't use paypal either sadly I see 2 codes ready to use but no paypal option >.< Yes I am a bad girl

*Looks at Nosebleed's post count* It would appear Nosebleed is almost 3x cooler than you.

Hi mina desu I'm new here....just kidding I just changed my username I was Sirius (not that anyone would care) for.. reasons that I can explain via pm if anyone wants to know (not that anyone would care either ) Here is a pic of sumika

Kinda. I mean, some things do happen, but the state of affairs is similar to one year ago. Chitoge ranked up to best friend this chapter though.

I guess he caught it telepathically from me (I got better today though)

Yay! Fun fact: The Greek letter π is actually pronounced "pee." That doesn't mean that "pie" is wrong in English, though, so don't go around being all elitist to your friends. -_- 1) How many digits of pi have you memorized? 3.1415926, because that's as far as my grade-school calculator will go. 2) How often do you use pi? Whenever I'm running low on fun facts; often. 3) What is your favorite kind of pie? Shepherd's. 4) Do you prefer pie or cake? You are a heathen for asking such an obvious question.

My motto

The cuckoo finally sings !

Welcome to the community, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Nii Nii is better imo, or just Nii oooor:

Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! Protip: you can use the "Edit" button in the bottom right corner of your post to, well, edit your post, instead of making multiple in a row. You can also use the "Multiquote" button to quote several posts at a time. Have a moe:

Tay probably just got sick again and we didn't notice, likely he's doing all of his current FuwaWork within the two hours of lucidity he has each day while fighting for his life

There is no thread not improved by Nichijou gifs. Honestly this thread may as well be re-named "Nichijou gifs", I mean it's already in the chatter section.

Aside from what has ready been touched upon, another reason I'm fine with Chinami is that I don't recall her ever being mean spirited. She can be annoying and act carelessly as younger sisters do, but she cares about her brother and tries to do well by him. I'm pretty sure people liked Aoi, Komomo and Mare better because they were "cuter", "cooler", "less hyper" or whatever, I dunno. But I found them more annoying. I don't care that they probably become nicer later, I didn't even finish the common route. And as I've said earlier in this thread, I don't like tsunderes. I don't like how by the end of a story, two characters can end up with similar nice personalities; but because one of them was initially hostile she's more popular than the one who was always pleasant. Sometimes both in-universe and fanbase wise. There's also the fact people often confuse "strong female character" with "hostile/aggresive/emotionally unstable female character", but that's a discussion for another time. I understand the gap-moe concept and respect people's differing tastes, it's just not for me. There, the most unpopular paragraph I've ever written.

Really close, i think you definitely have a good chance of beating them. Fighto~

Ceris, please. You must still be tired. Go back to bed.

Nisekoi/10 Mandatory MLG PWNAGE: http://www.myinstants.com/instant/mlg-pwnage/

I'll give you a hand then. Character interactions, the gameplay (besides tearing up their clothes), the thing 'bout getting characters stronger, and other stuff that does not necessarily cater perverted fans. Actually, I consider the fanservice to only be a small part of what I like about the game. Really now. The characters' interactions with one another are where it's at. Though it's really fun to tear their clothes apart, muehehehe. The fanservice is leaning towards 'funny' rather than 'exciting'. I personally wouldn't mind the clothes not being torn apart, but that wouldn't be Senran Kagura anymore, amirite? I'd recommend you to play the game, really. I'm enjoying it as much as I'm enjoying Neptunia. It even made me consider buying an actual Nintendo console, which I have never done in my whole 16 years of living. Now, I will dedicate myself to boobie ninjas. WHAT I SAID MAY HAVE BEEN REPETITIVE, BUT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I'M LIKING IT. Also,

You definitely should play it and tell us what vns you have already play so we can recommend you more

Hard to pick one but sharin no kuni maybe from key probably clannad

Thank you. So far Little Busters! is my favorite. i'm waiting for Amagami which still in progress to be published. how about you?

I hope so too. When I played the demo I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the writing, it's smooth and a joy to read. Great writing, great art, what's not to love? You guys are seriously talented.

どうぞよろしく Welcome to fuwa! What's your fav vn?

I like this idea. Should I start a petition? Edit: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/community-statuses

if tier then S -Maki A -Honoka,Eli,Rin B -Umi,Kotori C -Nozomi,Hanayo i think thats all

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/change-tiags-username-to-nosebleed

*throws party* Thank you anime gods.

Oh god, no. Nii-san is my trigger word for Inferno Divider.

You do an amazing job Nay, and it should definitely get mentioned more often. Speaking of things I should do more often, I'll have to remember to send Tay some PMs blaming him for all the messes he's creating. "Dear Bastard", is how I'll start it. "Please don't ban me" is how it'll finish

Someone rammed a fork into my hand once. Does that count? The next person can roll a higher number than me... 5 Good luck.

You could try what I'm reading right now 夏空カナタ (Natsuzora Kanata)...it looks even easier than StarTrain. Someone recommended it to me as a beginner level VN to practice reading on. It's easy^^ but the story seems very simple as well so far... summer romance kind (3 female routes). The author uses the same vocabulary and way of writing over and over a lot, so it's nice practice and memorization from seeing it constantly.

Hear ye, hear ye -- In case you hadn't noticed, Fuwanovel has a blog app which includes two dev-exclusive blogs (Updates & Recruitment) to help you out. The idea is that you post in one of these blogs, and it's broadcast to all the sites in the Fuwa network. Project Updates Feed (blog link) (rss) -- this is for non-trivial updates like introductions when your project first joins the Fuwa Ongoing Projects board, demo releases, events, announcements, final releases etc. You should also be posting in your project thread (i.e. small or check-in updates shouldn't be posted here) Help Wanted/Recruitment Feed (blog link) (rss) -- to be used as necessary. You can re-post job openings once every 3 days if you've having trouble finding help These two blogs are being integrated into the forums index, the Fuwazette blog, and the Reviews Hub, but in order to post in them you have to get a special "Project Manager" permission set from an admin. One person from each project will have free posting rights to both blogs (you pick who it'll be). The Developer role will give you access to post on the Dev update feed. Permissions to Moderate your own thread (lock/hide etc.) brag with a badge To get blog posting access you should have a project on this OP board, then please PM Emi the following: Who you want to get the permissions and what their relationship is to the project (team lead, PR, etc.) The name of your project The url of your project thread in the fuwa forums After getting permissions: How to make and format a post: Click "Add Entry" on the blog page (Updates) (Recruitment) Write and format the post just as you would making a post on the forums We highly, highly suggest you use at least one image in your post for us to use in the Wordpress featured image function. PLEASE NOTE: The first image in the blog post will be its "featured image" (the image used to represent the post on the other Fuwa sites), so make sure it looks nice, is appropriate (no nudity, etc.), and is of decent size (preferably larger than 300x200px). ^ If you choose to include an image, please do everybody a favor and compress it before using it It may take up to an hour for the post to appear on all the Fuwa sites, but if a post isn't appearing in <=60 minutes, contact an admin I'm going to do my best to make this a useful tool for you guys, and please don't hesitate to get back to the staff or Emi with feedback/input.
