Hello members of Fuwanovel and welcome to my 2000 1929 post celebration thread! Yes, I stole Zaka's title. Yes, I'm not at 2000 posts but I finished this after working on it a few days and too impatient to farm to 2000 posts. Foreward

What have you done to me?!

I should point out that when I asked for my username to be changed to "Darth Rooke," Tay just ignored it. I gave some very compelling reasons why my username should be changed too. Still bitter...

Someone mentioned me in an x000 posts thread!

As some of you know, I was a rather active member of this community up until the end of last year. I had become a board moderator as well as started a revamp project for Supreme Candy in hopes of making a contribution to the western VN world. I decided to leave Fuwanovel due to several things that just rubbed me the wrong way. The primary reason for my departure was the lack of structured organization between board mods and their assigned global mods. The teammates that I was working with were doing very little with their position, leaving the rest of the team to pick up the slack. Working in teams we were expectd to brainstorm together. When it came to getting work done, it was always on an individual basis. I am sure that many of these internal problems have been resolved. I mean just look at Fuwanovel now, a lot has been accomplished. However, I no longer have any interests in being at staff member. My place is among the members, and I have set my sights on translations over site management. As for the translation project for Supreme Candy... Habluka who lead the original team and I agree that Supreme Candy does not have the support from the community required to complete the project. Habluka, who is/was an avid fan of MakuraSoft did much of the work solo, achieving nearly 15,000 lines before putting the project aside. If any of you watched our Twitter feed, you would have seen that Skyspear Translations was continuing to make progress (albeit very slowly). We still have our image editor and one active TL but have decided to drop Supreme Candy in hopes of beginning a project for a more popular title (thread for this on the way). Regardless of the past, I am happy to be here again on Fuwanovel. I look forward to having chats and discussions with all of you once again!

Rekt はなじお兄ちゃん as punishment for not recognizing me Was really excited when I saw the participants, then kuroba's phone died. Haven't managed to get matched with anyone else, hopefully another time...

Me after chapter 162

I kind of want to see a Rooke writing review of a Sakura series game. I think that would be more entertaining than the game itself.

1. This is not a visual novel. 2. It is not that hard to get funded, no. 3. I'm not sure if that "almost nobody heard about it" thing is true. 4. It's not awful crap. Did you only read page one?

Seriously though:

And here you have it! This is perhaps the most insulting email I've posted to-date. Please take a seat and prepare your eyes for the worst. 3/15/2015 "The guy who pretended to be batman" ... Boy... you guys really should have voted for one of the other options : P

I don't think you should hate yourself for being a virgin. Why is it bad to be a virgin? I don't hate being a virgin, really. What do you get when you're not a virgin? I dunno. Sure, you got laid. Then what? I don't know. I'll only know when I'm not one anymore. It all falls down upon what your values are, really, and how much you value stuff. Personally, I wouldn't mind losing my virginity, and wouldn't mind keeping it. At least if I continue to be a virgin, there's a possibility of me becoming a wizard.

Not before I bothered to get out of the bath tub to check which whitespace character got ignored/trimmed on this particular registration.

Last night I got this with 5 gems then used 10 more gems got nothing o.o but happy to get this kawaii nico! I am sorry Nosebleed

W-What Nah. I don't think I need any pills. I just want to lie down on my bed and sleep through the entire day. It was already done like 13 hours ago haha. Confession: So I was such a faggot last night, and I couldn't speak properly in front of her. I still tried though. The problem is that for every word I said, her reply seems to strike me down. Like, she's telling me that it's futile or something. Of course, that's quite disheartening. Like, ugh. Holy shit. My chest seems to tighten up whenever I remember the feeling. So she told me that a lot of things will be happening in college, and that I'll eventually forget about her. I laughed at that. So I told her, "March 15, right? Okay then. Next year, on March 15, I'm gonna go to your university and show to you you're wrong. I'm also gonna ask you out." She replied, "Sure. You'll go there and thank me because I was right." It hurts. Kinda. I just. I can't explain it. I... don't even know what I'm feeling now. Also, she told me through chat that she wanted to talk to me tomorrow. I have a huge feeling I'm gonna be shot down. She told me that she'll keep it 'short' to not waste a lot of my time. I'd talk to her for two straight hours, really. Even if it's all awkward shit and stuff. Ah god. I like her so much. Also, I danced her. It felt great. I want to hug her. So I'll hug her 12 days from now, on our graduation ball, after we dance. Gonna make her my first and last dance. It will also be the dance that'll commemorate either my success or failure. So there you have it. I feel like a fucking protagonist right now. I hope she's my main heroine. You know what I'm scared of? I'm scared that somebody will beat me to her in this one year. Of course, that's not all guaranteed. Even that single year. For it might already end tomorrow. Ah. I just want to sleep through the day.

Ok, let me torture you to death gift it to you

Dodging is for the weak. Respect your opponents and fight fair and square. Be obliterated with pride! Tears can be shed afterwards.

Because it's made by white people and there's no h-scenes.

Hahahahahaha.

I beat Persona 3 FES the other day (Holy shit was that a long game!) and I'm just about done Persona 4 arena. After that I'll probably play through the Ultimax story.

Nothing says spring better than Rewrite's Kotori in her natural habitat

On a more serious note, the dimensions really are annoying, I had to cut pretty much all of the sunflowers so all you see is petals flying (it was either that or cutting Misuzu's head in half) find better proportions, facebook.

Well, since most games have a group thingie on Fuwa... It's about time this thread be made. For those who don't know what Elsword is, here And for those who do play Elsword, feel free to share what server you play on, your characters/classes/levels, your stories/ best moments (or worst moments ). I'll start with my personal story of starting this game:- At first, I actually saw it as an add on youtube, felt the art and style were pretty cool for an MMO, and decided to join. The first character I picked was Raven, as assassins/rogues are my personal favorites in MMOs, and BladeMaster, one of Raven's classes, looked pretty fast, so yeah. As I leveled up, I did find him to be pretty fast indeed, faster than any other Melee class in the game. pvp-ing was so fun, as with my speed I could beat most other melee characters B) So, I just kept playing, without really knowing anyone. The game was fun enough to play solo, at least at first, and I reached level 50 before I stopped. I've probably spent more time in Elsword than I have in any other MMO/ online game, simply because of how fun it was. PvP-ing is what I found especially satisfying. But anyways, so I stopped because dungeons became impossible to do on my own and since I had no friends, I had no one to move on with, so I stopped. This was all in EU server, a very laggy/ almost dead server I suggest you stay away from . NA ftw Pretty sad story, I know... But, I came back again! Recently one of my friends, Tenkuru by name, joined NA, so I decided why not, with a friend I can probably reach more heights! I'm currently lvl 39 Aisha (EM), and hoping to find more friends here to help us out and have fun. Who knows, we can even make a guild And have some nice fan art

She's a huge fan of the works of Miyazaki Hayao, and after noticing that she was watching Mononoke hime for the 13th time, I really want to recommend her some anime but I can't think of any. She like Inuyasha too, so I'm guessing that she likes anime with fantasy settings.

I like long common routes, generally - I really enjoyed the Little Busters! and Rewrite common routes, for example, and in contrast Katawa Shoujo always felt kind of rushed to me because the common route in it is so short. One of my favorite parts of any story is watching how all the characters interact with each other, letting you see different aspects to their personality, so I really enjoy it when a common route mixes everybody up and has them play off each other. Rewrite did this well with the club meetings, and Little Busters! just had random interactions happening all the time as well as a scene just for this purpose, with the test of courage near the end of the common route letting you pick any pair of characters and watch them be hilarious. Watching all the heroines interact with each other (and also with any of the other characters who tend to be prominent in common routes but fall by the way-side in heroine routes, like comic relief characters) helps build character depth, particularly because a typical VN designs all its heroines to have fairly different personalities; when this is leveraged well, it results in seeing the heroines put into more social situations they otherwise wouldn't run into, even with a focused character route. If people are mostly just talking to the PoV character, or the PoV character and a cast specific to a heroine route, then they are more likely to end up pretty flat. I'll pick on Katawa Shoujo for an example - the characters there generally felt really one-note, to me. Character depth isn't everything, of course, and many VNs focus more on plot or "plot" than characters, which is fine, but for the subset of VNs that aim for you to bond with the characters so they can better manipulate your emotions, a well-written (and, yes, long) common route is pretty crucial to success.

Pulltop's VNs aren't always charage, though yes, the majority of them are. Sprite is all charage.

You should watch 'The Room' it's the best film ever (ironically) I don't like you any more

Pfffft! I totally don't sound like that

You seriously appear at the most random times.

Pretty much a literal transcript of the interaction: Rooke: Taaaaaaaay. I'm too cool and busy to give Fuwa any love or attention. That makes me a bad boy. Change my username to Darth Rooke. Tay: No, Rooke. Rooke: Fine then! I'll just go console myself with low-bandwidth OELVN production! *storms off* Also, got you taken care of Frogzx/Mugi.

You should wait and see. Don't jump the gun on this, don't try to assemble a team for a VN you don't even know if you'll like or if it will get licensed. Sekai Project will definitely be interested in licensing this, I'd say the odds of it not getting an official release are very low. Even if they want to wait for the whole thing (they won't want to, they'd definitely be okay releasing it piecemeal just like in Japan), I still say it's a wasted effort to translate something you know will get licensed eventually anyways. There is an incredible wealth of great untranslated VNs out there, it's would be a bit of a shame to see the limited resources of the community be used just to make a translation available a little bit faster for the impatient people out there.

Would you infer that "shit game" is a genre due to "Role Playing Game" being one? let's not get into religious wars about the terms to use before the latter

#FREEREIS

Xuse, which produced Aselia and Seinarukana, is normally an utsuge, mystery and horror producer. Saihate no Ima was their first classic, but like many relatively early VN classics, it is definitely an acquired taste. (Eternal, which made Yumina, is a subsidiary of this company) Flying Shine, which did Cross Channel, doesn't have a unique or particular style. They produce seemingly random game types. However, since the company seems to be dead, there is no reason to concern oneself over that. Favorite, which produced Irotoridori no Sekai, is famous for producing somewhat surreal fantasy stories. Wiz Anniversary, a charage with a strong story produced in 2006 was their original flagship work. Type/Moon... if you don't know what they do already... is famous for chuuni fantasy based in the Nasuverse, as well as quirky 'extras' like Kagetsu Tohya and Ataraxia. Strega produced Komorebi no Nostalgica, which was one of the two kamige from 2013. Thus, it would be a good idea to keep an eye on this story-focused charage company. F&C produced two famous works, Canvas and Konata Yori Kanata Made. Canvas, which is basically a moege/charage series based around art, is the more famous of the two over here. However, Konakana is the more famous over there, for being an example of an utsuge that doesn't leave an awful taste in your mouth at the end and for having an overall awesome story. Pajamas Soft primarily produces middling quality fantasy VN-rpgs (the Prism series), but they have also produced games like Natsu no Owari no Nirvana, which was a first-class utsuge. Caramel Box, which produced Otoboku, is famous for its slow-paced but touching stories, ranging from youkai-charage like Toppara to trap protagonist infiltrations of girls' schools. Exceptions such as Shuumatsu Shoujo Gensou occasionally break out of that mold, though. lol Moonstone produces both light nukige and middling to good quality moege/charage. The quality of their non-nukige VNs tends to vary greatly, and I've hit more 'jirai' with this company than any other, so I definitely suggest sitting back and waiting for someone else to try their games before you jump into them. Ensemble is another company with a mixed record. Half of their games are great and the other half are mediocre, lol. Their games are ojousama focused story-heavy charage for the most part (meaning that rich-girl heroines are the staple heroines of their stories). Otomekoi, which is one of my long-standing favorites, is an example of one of their better works. Navel, which produced Shuffle, is known for their moege and charage, with huge variations in quality and equally huge numbers of sequels designed to milk their settings dry. EX-One produces high-quality story-focused VNs, with a definite nakige influence. Their one attempt at comedy, Futsuno Fantasy, was an utter failure, though. Palette is another company with huge variations in quality. Moshiraba is of the highest quality, but Tenkiame, which is based in the same setting, is much lower in quality. Because of this variation, I really suggest you check the reviews before playing their VNs. Gesen 18 produces strategy games in the guise of VNs, including the Sangoku Hime and Sengoku Hime series. Unfortunately, Sangoku Hime has terrible gameplay, and Sengoku Hime's early games suffered from a lack of story and less interesting gameplay. Their gameplay is definitely an acquired taste, and their storytelling is perhaps too spread out for the average VN reader. Rosebleu, which produced the Tiny Dungeon series, is mostly famous for that series. However, they also produce high-quality comedy and fantasy charage. Jirai Soft, so far, has only produced the comedy-drama VN Tsuisou no Augment and its fandisc... Tsuisou no Augment (different kanji for Tsuisou). The original game is extremely high-quality and one of my recommended games for beginners that don't want to be stuck with a regular moege. Akatsuki Works, a subsidiary of Akabeisoft2, is famous for action/chuuni VNs with lots of hedge-philosophy and an underlying atmosphere of cynicism about humans in general and society as a whole. BaseSon, which did the Koihime Musou series, tends to combine moe with decent stories, though the original Koihime Musou was not as interesting as its sequel, story-wise. It also has a running obsession with the Sengoku and Three Kingdoms eras that is definitely reflected in its lineup of games. 3rdEye produced middling to high-quality chuuni VNs, usually with a bit more moe-like art and characters. Their protagonists tend to be unusual/weird people, and this probably makes them easier to enjoy for chuuni lovers. Overdrive does a variety of VNs, ranging from games like KiraKira Edelweiss to heavier ones like Boku ga Tenshi ni Natta Wake (really heavy utsuge). Quality-wise, they mostly produce medium to high-quality games, though they definitely produced a stinker or two. Escu;de primarily provides light gameplay and fantasy stories. My personal favorite of theirs is Gurenka, one of their few games without a token nod at gameplay. Meromero Cute produced mostly comedy/fantasy... weird games that most would probably have difficulty following. Draculius, their best work, is one of my all-time favorites, though. Nonsugar produces nekketsu (hot-blooded) protagonists and stories, mostly meant to get the blood boiling, but with definite ridiculous and dark aspects. Cabbit produces what I like to call 'quiet horror', where the story seems calm but definitely is a horror game, right under the surface. Sumikko produced both Natsukumo Yururu and Harumade Kururu, both games that are high in quality and extremely weird/eccentric. Tigre Soft seems to have taken over continuing the Akatsuki no Goei setting, albeit a century or more later, lol. Unison shift produces mostly moege, but occasionally they stray into more serious works, such as Tokeijikake no Leyline (the series). Hooksoft produces straight charage that have ridiculously high-quality art and very predictable, but sweet and easy to get into heroine stories. Ricotta produced the Walkure Romanze series... but they also produced the extremely low-quality Princess Lover. They've made Walkure Romanze their flagship series, which isn't a bad idea, considering how high-quality it turned out to be. I do think they are milking it to excess, though.

OOOOOHHHH~ I can play Ever17 now... XD Thanks everyone... btw, i will tell you guys how i can play that game... First, i read that my Locale is not Japanese... but, that's not the problem. Because the first time i re-install my Computer, i chose Japanese for all. Second, i can see the name of folder. But, even i change the name nothing's change (i still can't play it) Third, I look at the "Admin Permission". Still, even if i change it to "Run as Administration", i can't play it either... Then i take a look at Ever17 folder... all of the file is just become "read-only"... well, i don't know if that cause it. But i've un-check the "read-only" and now i can play it... Here's the proof...
