So this is a thing that is in my possession as of today

So it isn't a stray cat anymore?

-sigh- Guess I need to flirt with people again.

Normally, I don't finish the VN of the Month games so early (I'd expected to be forced to take more time out for Neyuki, and so I've been left at loose ends). So, I normally just pull a few random VNs out of my massive backlog (mostly stuff I got at really low prices through my friend in Japan), play them, then mini-review them. However, I've chosen to be a bit more ambitious this time around, since I have the time. I'm actually going to make a schedule! 1. Kikouyoku Senki Gin no Toki no Corona (currently playing this) 2. Baldr Force EXE 3. Baldr Bullet 4. You choose, something that isn't on my vndb list. If I don't already have it, I can probably find it. I'm going to be straight about this, the only rules are: no nukige, no rapegames, nothing that is obviously moe-bait (moe aspects is fine, but I am not interested in playing something like Feng's games or To Heart, lol), no translated Feel free to make suggestions to me in the comments, based on VNs you either played yourself or ones you want to play but can't because of your own lack of Japanese knowledge. Make sure you check my vndb list before you make a suggestion, as I don't plan to replay anything at the moment. Be aware that there is very little of interest that I haven't played between 2011-2015's releases, so I ask that requests be limited to VNs to 2011 or before. Even if I only manage to finish through Baldr Bullet by the end of the month, the requests made here will be taken into account in my decisions as to what to play next month and the month after.

I know, I know, this game hasn't even been released in Japan, much less even confirmed for an English release. But as you may have surmised at some point, I am far too much of a fan of this series not to create a thread on it. There are many who enjoy going into games without knowing a thing about them, as such, here's the two crucial pieces of information: It was released on June 9th, for the Nintendo 3DS. This was directed and written by Shu Takumi, the writer for the first 4 games, as well as the Ace Attorney VS Professor Layton game. The game is set in the Meiji Era. From here on out, spoilers. Tagged, but spoilers nonetheless. This will include all the information publicly released and in which I have managed to get my hands on. Box Art Trailer 1 Trailer 2 Gameplay Trailer Launch Trailer Japanese eShop Demo (Translation Link as well) New Mechanics Character Info Light spoilers only. Case Info I'll start with a synopsis (few spoilers). Case 2 Synopsis Case 3 Synopsis Case 4 Synopsis Case 5 is also confirmed. There may be more, but only these 5 have been teased.

Only responding 2 months late, but I fully approve of this ship! May it be acknowledged publicly that I am the biggest Kanon fan on the site! In turn I ship you with Katawa Shoujo. I think I made that even more official in this video:

It is usually perceived as rude to be "certain" in Japan, so shyer people try to sound as uncertain as possible (even when talking about their hobbies that they surely are certain about). So, it's literally "uncertainty" but the nuance is "shyness" most of the time when dattari comes up. Too bad the actual script turned out to be just a simple list, though. xD

So today I bought a super cheap iPad... What do you mean "I was ripped off"? I needed to go crack this somewhere to get it out of my system. Apologies.

He's a man of needs. It really is different strokes for different folks....

Yo dw guys as soon as you reach 30 it'll all be worth it when you become a Wizard. See Flutterz' thread for more info http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/9523-wizards/

Rewrite Lucia Sunflowers

"Life is a game of luck and chance. You win some, you lose some. But what do you do when the whole universe is against you? Some people say if you wish upon a star, your dreams will come true. One thing is often forgotten though. A nightmare is also a dream." -Neil Doune Hello! I am Rok Abiel, and as of right now, I am the Character artist, CG artist, Animator, Story writer, Script writer, and Programmer for Galaktika Gamble. I've almost 7 years working on the story, and I've been working on making it a VN for about half a year now. As of right now, the only other people working with me are voice actors, and an awesome musician(Amajor). Auditions for voice acting are over for now, although another casting call may pop up later in the future for the second visual novel. Basic Plot Neil Doune could easily be labeled the most unlucky man in the world. He see's life as one big game of luck and chance, knowing that at anything could happen at any moment, with any choice he makes, any move he makes, or even any word he speaks. Followed constantly by death, the world is literally trying to kill him off and he doesn't know why. He's escaped many natural disasters and other deadly situations, but just barely, causing other people to die in his place. During his childhood, his mother went missing and his twin sister was murdered shortly after. However, no one was able to find his sister's killer. As for Neil's father, he never met him or heard anything about him, and everyone he's known never talked about him either. After another deadly event, leading to the death of a mother and child, Neil yells at the sky in anger. He yells that he wishes to figure out what happened to his family and how it connects to his deadly situations. By accident, he summons a Stellar named Alhena, claiming to be there to help him obtain his wish. However, Neil and Alhena, along with Neil's best friend Ivan and more friends they make along the way, soon realize there are a lot of dark secrets hidden from them, and things are a lot more serious than they realized. Stellar Info I don't have all character sprites drawn yet, but I'll add a short description about physical appearance too. That said, moving on.~ Characters Neil Doune Age: 21 Hair: Straight, brown, upper/mid-back length Eyes: Black pupil, yellow irises Often appears to be a jerk to new people he meets, but he's actually quite nice on the inside. He acts cold and standoff-ish because he's afraid of new people becoming involved with him, afraid that more innocent people will die. He would love to have more friends and be around them, but he thinks that being a jerk and hurting someone's feelings to keep them away is better than that person dying. Neil does enjoy to be with those close to him though, but lives in fear that he'll see them die. Neil also enjoys a little humor from time to time but often leans towards sarcasm and pranks, which just make him appear to be even more of a mean guy. Though he's a bit socially awkward, he does truly care for people and will listen to them if they come to him to vent. He's been picked on before due to his name(Pronounced like "kneel down"), his long "Jesus" hair, and slightly feminine features. However, he's gotten so used to it that it doesn't really bother him anymore. Ivan Voronkov Age: 21 Hair: Curly/wavy black hair Eyes: Black pupil, blue irises Ivan has known Neil for as long as they could remember, and has been with Neil every step of the way. Somehow he's survived living around Neil for so long, he's learned to laugh at situations if it just involves him and Neil without any injuries. However, Ivan is a very anxious character, and though he attempts to keep his anxiety hidden, Sometimes he fails miserably. Even so, he's a loyal friend. Ivan enjoys video games, anime, the internet, and technology in general. During his free time, he's usually playing a game, watching online videos, or posting on his blog. He also has a fairly decent knowledge on astronomy due to his activity in the astronomy club back in high school. This proves him to be fairly useful when Stellars begin appearing in their lives. Ivan is very kind at heart, and naturally would prefer to not hurt anybody. Ivan also sees a "shadow" throughout the story, causing him to question his sanity. Alhena, "Gamma Geminorum" Age: ??? Stellar type: White star - Gemini Hair: Ankle-length, braided white hair Eyes: Gray pupil, light white-gray eyes Alhena is the Stellar summoned by Neil. She usually has a fairly bubbly personality, loves making people smile, and has a strange obsession with macaroni and cheese and bells. However, this does not mean that she's all about fun and games though. She gets frustrated easily, and can become quite intimidating if pushed to that level. She used to go by the name Almeisan, but due to specific reasons(spoilers), she started going by Alhena. She is completely dedicated to seeing Neil's wish fulfilled that she is willing to turn against her own kind for his sake. Kion Takemoto Age: 19 Hair: Black(natural), purple(dyed), pink(dyed), and green(dyed). Eyes: Black pupil, brown irises Kion is a fun-loving guy, known to be the "life of the party". Unlike Neil, he summoned his Stellar(Which he calls "Narki"), at the very young age of 7 with the wish of being rich and famous. Continuing to follow that wish, he found his love for music and decided to attempt the path of a rock star. Kion is often refered to as a crazy kid with childish dreams, but he doesn't care what others say. Though he appears to be a complete spaz and full of comedic relief, he has a few secrets of his own. He can make a very good leader if put in that position, but prefers to be the follower from laziness. After he meets Neil, Alhena, and Ivan, he talks with his Stellar and they decide to help Neil with his situation. Shurnarkabtishashutu, "Zeta Tauri" (Narki) Age: 22,500,000 (Estimated) Stellar-type: Blue star - Taurus Hair: Long, blue ponytail Eyes: Blue pupils, light blue irises Narki takes life quite seriously. Because of this, she often treats Kion like a kid even though he's 19. She doesn't care much about what happens to people in general, but she does care about Kion's view on things. Though she is serious, she doesn't mind a good joke every once in awhile, and absolutely loves food. She finds Alhena's "happy acting" to be annoying, and has a mutual respect for Antares. She's one of the stronger Stellars in Neil's main group. Antares, "Alpha Scorpii" Age:12,000,000(Estimated) Stellar-type: Red star - Scorpio Hair: Red, layered, bottom layer in low ponytail Eyes: Red pupils, light red irises Antares first appears to kill Neil. This leaves everyone in confusion and fear, causing them to question what's really going on, as a Stellar would never harm a human for no reason. However, he was just following orders. After a lot of thinking, he decides to change his mind and help Neil instead(Even though Neil absolutely refuses to trust him). His decision may(or may not) be influenced by his guilt, and the fact that he's reaching near the end of his life anyway. Kullat Nunu, "Eta Piscium" Age: Stellar-type: Yellow star - Pisces Hair: Blonde, curly pigtails Eyes: Dark yellow pupils, yellow irises Kullat Nunu is Alhena's best friend, who eventually makes an appearance and joins the group in their search for answers. She's a little bit of a derp and does really weird things, but no one seems to mind as long as it isn't harmful. However, Neil notices that Nunu has blonde hair and yellow eyes(similar to his dead twin sister), and doesn't talk with her often because of this. Sadalmelik, "Alpha Aquarii" Age:53,000,000(Estimated) Stellar-type: Yellow star - Aquarius Hair: Blonde, somewhat messy Eyes: Dark yellow pupil, yellow iris Sadalmelik is a mysterious Stellar that joins Neil's group after hearing "rumors" about a Human-Stellar war starting over Neil's wish. He barely talks and is a tad bit socially awkward when he's around Neil, but his only interest seems to be training Neil to make him stronger. For awhile this makes Neil quite angry, but eventually he realizes that Sadalmelik is actually very helpful to him. Sadalmelik knows answers to many secrets involving Neil's situation, but doesn't reveal them to the group for specific reasons(Partially his own fear, along with thinking it might keep Neil safe). Though Sadalmelik appears to be completely emotionless and stone-cold on the exterior, it's actually quite the opposite on the inside. Shaula, "Lambda Scorpii" Age:??? Stellar-type: Blue star - Scorpio Hair: Blue, long and short Eyes: Blue pupils, light blue irises Another Stellar that shows up to kill Neil, bringing other Stellars with her for backup after hearing he has a few Stellars protecting him. Kion absolutely falls in love with Shaula's appearance, despite her being an enemy. Of course, that's the type of reaction Shaula enjoys, because "love-struck" enemies are fairly easy to defeat. Kyna Doune Hair: Brown, length varies Eyes: Black pupils, brown irises Kyna is Neil's mother, who went missing when he was 8 years old. Neil loved her very much, so he's naturally upset by her disappearance. She's an odd mix of traits. She likes being lazy and staying indoors, but she also enjoys going outside to play basketball if people challenge her. Her children mean everything to her, and she's very protective over them. She's very introverted, but she doesn't mind hanging out with close friends. Sally Doune Hair: Short, blonde Eyes: Black pupils, yellow irises Neil's twin sister, murdered shortly after their mother went missing(By shortly, I mean like within 24 hours after the disappearance). In a few flashbacks, she's shown to be a little bit sassy, but polite to elders. She spent most of her days playing with Neil and Ivan, and leaned a little towards the tomboy side instead of girly girl. She was also Ivan's childhood crush. There are more characters, but I can't really reveal them without revealing who is behind all the attacks. Therefore, I'll stop it there for now. If you're very curious though, more characters are listed in the casting call for auditions. I'll update the character section again once I get specific sprites done for those that are missing theirs at the moment. Visual Novel Features Multiple endings, including Good, Bad, True, Chaotic, "Too Early", and a hidden ending. CGs and Animated cutscenes Battle System(Hopefully with isometric elevation maps and attacks unique to each character if I'm able to figure out how to program it.) Progress Sprites- 25% Backgrounds- 5% CG's- 10% Animation- 10% Writing- 95% Coding- 20% Music - ??% Here's a screenshot! I do plan on changing that text box though. -Extra Questions- 1. Does the story sound interesting? 2. Is my art okay? Do you like it? 3. Which character seems interesting to you so far, if any? 4. Would you be interested in playing this game even though it isn't a dating sim kind of game?(I know being a dating sim isn't a requirement, but I know a large amount of visual novels are so I didn't know if it would have an effect on whether people want to play) Sorry if this post is too lengthy.

Hello everyone, my name is Amajor I'm a composer and am into a big variety of genres. Currently I'm looking to work on my first VN and really hope I can find someone to collaborate with on here. On my soundcloud you can find :Instrumental tracks, Ambient Tracks, Piano Tracks but mainly EDM (Electronic Dance Music) tracks, but I really can go into any genre you would want. I work for free but under the condition that the music will be non exclusive. Here's a link to my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/amajor-4 I really hope I can find someone to collaborate with on here. Have a great rest of your day

Do you hate every other Fuwanovel user? Do you hate stupid forums games? Do you hate winning shitty indie games on Steam? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions then what the hell are you even doing in this subforum? Otherwise I have just the thing for you! Assuming enough people are interested, the format will be similar to that of the recent Fuwanovel Trivia game. Each participant will send me two or three sets of "two truths and a lie" via PM and once the round starts everyone will send me what they think each user's lie is. You'll get one point for every lie you correctly identify as well as 0.2 points for every Fuwan that incorrectly identifies your lie. You can ask questions about other people's statements in the thread, and if you're asked questions you don't have to answer, but if you do decide to answer a question you can't lie about your two truths. You can lie about your lie, obviously. Example: "My username starts with 'F', I was born in Japan, my avatar has Kud" "Hey Flutterz, does your username end with 'z'? Which city were you born in? Does your avatar depict a sundress?" "It does end with 'z', and I was born in Osaka." "You didn't answer the last question!" *writes down Flutterz's lie as #3* As for winning shitty indie games on Steam, if there are enough participants I'll give out two copies of Please, Don't Touch Anything and Her Story each to the 2nd-5th places, as well as literally anything on Steam * for the winner! * - as long as it costs under $20 CAD(~$15 USD) Post in this thread if you'd like to participate. Also should I do two or three rounds? Participants: LiquidShu hsmsful Satsuki Nosebleed KosakiFag Nimbus FidgetQueen Wonderfullyevil Shikomizue Zebhra FinalChaos Zalor

HAPPY FIREWORKS DAY FROM SWEDEN, WITH COMMUNISM

Ten/10 I mean penguin/10

I really like this one from Mirai Nostalgia:

I hope Root Double is going to be released before Summer 2016, I need something to tide me over until then (because ZE3).

Everybody's making posts when they reach 1k posts or 2k posts or 3k posts, but I will probably not reach these before 2017 so there's that, tbh I am mostly not active because I am really inept when it comes to anime and visual novels , I am not like all these people here I basically have very little knowledge about the vn scene and all of it came from fuwa and I have very few vns under my belt and they all came from fuwa too. I have been around since november 2013, thou I was just a lurker who came here and downloaded porn games , man these days, I felt out of place for not playing grisaia no kajitsu when everyone was playing it , good old days~ I still haven't finished grisaia no kajitsu ... *ahem* I always felt a little awkward to talk but then during the summer of 2014 I joined Steve's teamspeak then Ren's teamspeak (as Red Beam if anyone recalls me). I became somewhat active from time to time because that was the time of the removal of the licensed games. I also joined FSG at that time. After that happened by few months, another argument was made for the removal of all the torrents. Then a guy who came to overthrow the administration of fuwa and create another one came (?) Now that I think about it , I have experienced many good exciting days on fuwa. And I wish that I will continue to spend more of these days! So to everybody on fuwa (even if you don't know me) , I love all of you guys and I hope that I will stay with you forever and ever (ok that's an exaggeration but at least for some more time , ok? ok) I tried to make this look good and I failed, fml ;-;

Kamen Rider huh? Well, I'm a Tokusatsu lover myself, especially Kamen Rider. Super sentai is fine, but I'm not so hype about it, since it's more intended for younger audience while Kamen Rider usually have darker story. Last Kamen Rider I watched was Gaim. I'm still skeptical with Drive, is it a good series? As for my favorite, that will be Kuuga and V3, damn both of them are awesome!

That sounds very fast o_o Confession: I've been balancing my phone on the tip of my shoe for the past 10 minutes. I would take a picture but my only camera is on my phone. --- Nevermind, I was trying to adjust and it fell off D:

Confession: I lost the game.

Poor Kurisu, rejection at every corner. Kuddere best dere

This one from yume miru kusuri Clannad: I dont take too many screenshots while I play otherwise I would post a ton more pics from other vns

English wise I think Fate/Stay Night is your best choice if you're looking for supernatural/sad stories, also has some really touching moments.

H o l y f u c k. I'm on Ch. 66 of Pandora Hearts and I thought it was confusing af at first. Ch. 20 - 50 I finally was like, yeah, I got what's going on now. Aside from my burning hatred of Vincent, he needs to burn in hell for trying to use Ada, it was going pretty good. Echo, Alice, and Sharon are all top tier and Gil/Break have some really good moments.

Confession: I just want someone to love me...

I love the color of blue~ Koi ga Saku koro Sakura Doki (Tina route ending spoiler) Gensou no Idea Kiss to Maou to Darjeeling (don't shoot me for this) AQUA Chuunibyou na Kanojo no Love Equation

Considering Shakespeare was responsible for many of the idioms we use in English today, I believe you're not doing him justice. He was a master of imagery: Furthermore good prose is necessary for an interesting story, prose relating to how a story and the relevant images are delivered to the audience, obviously if the prose is terrible than imagery presented would be substandard and/or the reader will be continuously jolted out of the story. Most fan-translations contain basic style errors and a weak vocabulary, the weak vocabulary contributes to either vague images presented OR a bloated and wordy script. It also means that those with a greater vocabulary will wrinkle their nose and be tempted to walk away. The basic style errors makes things read awkwardly and/or lessens the impact and/or relates to how well/badly you manage to capture the original author's style (if that was your primary intent.) That being said, fan-translations are delivered to us for free so one can't complain. I do expect a little more from the stuff we're forking $50 out for, though.

@tyr please, dont spread word about NON existing media, unless u like getting sued for causing heavy traumata

Confession: I don't really know what my life is going to be like in 6 months. I don't socialize much, by choice. I only speak to my family a couple times a year at most(I recently learned that my sister remarried through a Facebook update). I have a few friends here, but I only actually spend time with them once every couple weeks to play D&D. I have another friend that I actually go out and do things with every month or so. It works out for me because my job puts me in constant contact with people, so it's nice to have some solitude. All three of my friends are leaving island at the end of the year. As I've said, I don't socialize much, but I've never not socialized at all. I've always had a small circle of friends that I hung out with on occasion. I'm not really anxious about being alone, but I am somewhat worried that I'll just never come back from being a full time recluse. I'm pretty easy to get along with, never get offended, and am pretty approachable overall, but I never really get an urge to seek out companionship, so most of my friends throughout my life have been people that have sought me out. Even then I turn people down most of the time unless I find them particularly interesting. I love conversation, but it's not particularly common for me to find someone that is on the same wavelength as me, so I typically get bored talking to most people. I'm not sure whether I want to try to find friends or just let things go as they will.

Primal Heart's CGs are awesome (image dump warning)

Lol I feel like everyone has been shipped with Cyr at one point. Her ship harem is larger than Kosaki's.

Now I'm waiting for Mangagamer to announce Muramasa or Hello World Teeku

It's also funny for people who wanted to play Flowers before 2020 I guess Teeku Man, that AX sure is starting well. You can always count on JAST for being just weird and not making sense.

LIES Everyone knows that girls can literally walk up to any guy and start dating and he'll be perfect to marry for the rest of your life Source: years of social interactions

Yo dw brah Princess Evangile got'chu Except Chiho apparently

Confession: I went to the movies alone all the time, just had to get used to it since I love to watch new movies but often had no one to go with. Now, sometimes I even prefer to go alone even when I have someone I could go with xD. But yeah, it's nice to have company. I even celebrated my b-day alone today, treated myself to some yummy drink & food and bought myself some video games... lol, so sad.

OOPS, how did this get here, definitely not out of context

Confession: I feel like romance would be much easier if like 50% of Fuwa's active members were suddenly retconned into being female.

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.
