For those of you who don't know anything about the Mother series, it's a series of quirky and fun RPG games that originated from Japan since the NES-era. They are quite very popular over there and here too. There are three games that have officially been made, but Mother 2 was the only American release (which was called Earthbound) and the protagonists of Mother 2 and 3 can be found in the "Super Smash Brothers" games as Ness and Lucas. Mother 3 never officially came out in America but the fanbase was strong enough to support its popularity and there has also been a fan-made translation that looks superior than what would have normally been the official translation--if there were one. The Mother games were directed by Shigesato Itoi. He claimed a few years ago that Mother 3 would be the last one in the series. During an interview, he stated that he would not mind if fans were to make a fourth game, and so a group of people decided to give it a shot. Now on to the main topic; Mother 4 is in production and has been for a few years now. The interesting fact about this game is that it's being made by Mother fans, and they try to keep it true to the primitive games by keeping similar aspects (especially the music). The new trailer was previewed a few weeks ago and so far, it does look very promising: If you haven't tried any of the Mother games, I suggest you start with Earthbound or Mother 3~

I still see the links of the torrents :/ http://fuwanovel.net/torrents/%5BFuwanovel%5D%20Sharin%20no%20Kuni%20Himawari%20no%20Shoujo

EDIT: I'm currently working on a project since April 2015, and I might contribute to three more projects afterwards, therefore I'm not currently looking to compose for anything else for the time being, but feel free to contact me if you need a song or want to reserve my time for any project in the future~ I will bring this thread back to light when my hands are free again. I've been playing the piano for almost 7 years now, and I've been toying around with different composing tools and still looking for the better ones (I currently use FL Studio). To improve and to test my limits, I'm willing to compose for any project that requires a tune, preferably for either a game or a video~ This is a song I created within the game "Mabinogi". It is an MMORPG that I used to play for a few years that contains a composition feature, and I won a winter music contest that won me an illustration book; the contest was being held on the community forums of Nexon. The reward was sent by mail by the game's company. The contest's rule was to compose a song that had to be played in-game but I ended up not just composing the song, but made somewhat of a music video related to a mini-story that also includes in-game content: Hand-chimes (within the game) were used for the contest and it's the only instrument I made the song on for this video. This is another song I made for what was to be the first stage in a 8-bit style top down shooter. And for different variations, there's a non 8-bit version here and an HD version here. These are the only samples I have available for now. I will probably edit this post whenever I get more to share~

I recall a quote that translates to: "there's mosaics in front of your eyes but none in your heart (imagination)" It is said that those who play enough will gain the ability to see through mosaics.

I fell into this trap, and i like it...

I'm already past the point of no return, my brethren. When I ascend to the rank of Wizard, I shall master the ethereal powers pertaining to the control of gravity. Said powers will be used for Eros. The flipping of skirts and the bouncing of breasts shall be my call. Let us all follow this lonely path, full of struggles and hardships.

I'm going to be a silly and suggest the retro group play a Disney game. Like one of the Magical Quest games, or the original Castle of Illusion.

My apologies. English is not my first. Even though once they release it. Sounds better now?

No one ever said buying visual novels would be cheap but if you have patience and have a keen eye you can find some pretty good sales that will make the hobby less damaging to your wallet. That's what this is going to be; this is going to be a place to post sales listings for visual novels as well as notify people of any upcoming limited edition physical copies. I don't believe I've seen something like this on the forums yet so apologies if this already exists. I'm probably going to be constantly updating this first post whenever there is a sale and I'll give notification when I've updated it. I'm going to mainly be doing english translated visual novels but I would be happy to also post sales for non-translated visual novels as well if people would be interested. The new J-List website is still a ways off, but we have a brand-new version of Megumi, our kawaii mascot, and to celebrate we're going to give everyone a $10 coupon that you can use for any purchases of $40 or more. Enjoy, and thanks for being an awesome J-List customer! - If that was not enough Mangagamer also has two separate sales going on right now. The first is at Groupees For a minimum of 3 dollars you get Ruby Striker and Warrior Princess Asuka For a minimum of 10 dollars you get the games mentioned in the 3 dollar tier along with Slave Witch April, Touma Kojirou's Detective File - Murder at the Opera, and Sandwiched between my wife and her sister. For 20 dollars you get everything mentioned at the 3 and 10 dollar tier along with Deardrops. Mangagamer Back to School Sale: Da Capo $29.95 $20.97 Da Capo - Innocent Finale $19.95 $13.97 Kotori Love ExP $34.95 $24.47 Da Capo II $44.95 $31.47 Edelweiss $29.95 $20.97 Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia $19.95 $13.97 Edelweiss Bundle $39.95 $27.97 Kira Kira $29.95 $20.97 Kira Kira - All Ages $19.95 $13.97 Kira Kira - Curtain Call $19.95 $13.97 Kira Kira Bundle $39.95 $27.97 Otoboku $44.95 $31.47 Harukoi Otome $49.95 $34.97 If My Heart Had Wings $14.99 $7.49 Da Capo II - Hardcopy $44.95 $33.71 Otoboku - Hardcopy $44.95 $33.71 Flash Sale - Last Day Only! Secret Sorrow of the Siblings $14.95 $7.48 Orion Heart $24.95 $12.48 The Greatest Inventions of the Sexy Era! $24.95 $12.48 Magical Teacher $24.95 $12.48 All Visual Novels are also an additional Buy 3 get 15 percent off and it stacks with the 10 off coupon. This works for pre-orders Link directly to J-List's english translated visual novels is right here: the 15 percent off does not show up unless 3 titles are in the cart and the 10 dollars off requires use of the code. Hope that helps. Yet another visual novel sale this one at indiegaga. Pay 9.99 or more to get this bundle...considering most of these games are about 10 dollars or more on their own this can actually end up being a great price. The other visual novel sales are still going on as well.

The second season of Haruhi was an abomination compared to the first IMO. Mostly due to Endless Eight being the most ridiculous, un-enjoyable time-waste created in anime. I suggest you do not even waste your time with it.

What was wrong with Harukoi otome? it was a very sweet, cute, absolutely adowable, wittle, vn. with characters that, I have cancer........

Check your game folder name. I think you used some weird character that the game couldn't read, hence this error.

Writing thoughts is a bit bothersome. I'll get to it, but for now you'll have to manage with just my notes (these were taken as I played):

Got Yumiko's good ending in GnK

Maybe I should check out Sesame Street again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhWUFXvaZjo Got to give them credit for not going for the obvious jokes until the end

The second you mentioned Key I figured out the second part ;( the amount of times I've fought over Key having bad graphics is to high. I know you said it was where Key started but is there any other reasons you recommend this specific Key title over other Key titles? I normally hear about Rewrite, Little Busters, and Clannad when I hear people talking about Key so this feels like an odd choice of recommendation. I've actually seen this title from JAST before but I hadn't played it. If Shiny Days is coming out in a few months would you actually recommend me waiting for it and then starting with that one? Or should I read School Days first? Thanks for such an in depth review I tend to avoid games with very dated art but after reading that review I think I could look past the art and give it a few hours of my time to see if it is worth the read. As for the Yu-no suggestions would it be worth waiting for the remake that is coming out this year or do people think it isn't going to be as good as the original?

...T-This secret PM club... Damn it. I need to find a comrade.

I would think it's more of a non-love route for the boys instead of full-blown BL. Like, getting to know each other more or smth.

Same issue as: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/936-hoshizora-no-memoria-issue/ Be sure you're using the right .exe. It's the one that has _en on it. Also make sure you're completely in Japanese (Japan) Locale, and not using Applocale or anything that tries to shortcut it. And yeah, there's a patch that might help as well. All of that can be found on the sidebar on http://staircasesubs.com/hoshizora-no-memoria/

Severe addiction to Kiseki right now because I just reached the part in The 3rd where this song plays! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgb3ishuK0o The song title even speaks for itself here!!! I will devote my soul to this series alongside Atelier. (❀◦‿◦)

It requires the sacrifice of 12 baby hamsters. I think the main reason it hasn't been created is because the design team is focused on the new layout rather than paying attention to the old one which will end up being discarded. But don't take my word for it.

Just let them ask where the torrents are and let the mods tell them the torrents are gone.

Sorry, the special effects are too much for me.

Would you sell your soul to be able to read it in English right now? Cause I know a guy who knows a guy...

The only person in possession of the original, uncensored image would be the artist(s). If they even drew that far in the first place. Most artists won't actually draw further than sketch-phase on censored bodyparts, just to save time.

Eventually you'll let the mosaic grow on you.

Did I miss it, or was this not posted yet? https://youtu.be/N-nCErVn15I I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.

This is just my personal opinion, but try doing it like this: Yukie - Chris - Miyako - Wanko - Momoyo Momoyo includes epic stuff, certainly worthy of that final route feeling (even if you have Agave), Wanko route should be done at the later stages, definitely. The other three may more or less depend on what you feel like, though you may regret doing Miyako first.

Dracu-Riot is indeed a good VN. It is something to look forward to, though they did nerf vampirism somewhat (endemic to almost all vampire-VNs, with the exceptions of Draculius and Vermilion). Bradyon Veda would never get a translation... it equals Dies Irae in terms of linguistic complexity during combat scenes, and the world-building is complex enough that keeping it straight in your head will make you tired in and of itself. Hello, Lady's hardest points are its combat scenes and Narita's tendency toward making speeches. Ruitomo and its FD are excellent games, and they are easier than Hello, Lady (marginally and most of the time). '&' is the easiest of all of those, the closest to a moege that Akatsuki Works has ever made.
