I think I read somewhere that Herkz thoroughly endorses this translation, 100%. Something about: "OMG I wish we at TL:Wiki could pull off such an inspirational translation" (or something to that extent.) Such an endorsement surely must mean something Caution: Rooke bears no responsibility for the accuracy, or lack thereof, in the above statement - mainly because Rooke is an arse. Take the above statement at face value at your own risk.

I’d just like to say a hearty congratulations, and give a jovial good fucking job to the 180 patreons paying Winged Cloud over 2,000 bucks a month. We all appreciate your help in keeping them afloat, and we look forward to their next pandemic with bated breath and hearts in mouths.

That was entirely too positive. Clearly it's time for hsmsful to change his avatar to this:

First, I'll give you a quick run-down on this game... it is a game by 3rd Eye, a company known mostly for producing chuunige that are more moe-influenced than is the norm. This game is actually more of a mystery/chuuni/action/conspiracy type than a 'pure' chuunige. The world in which it is based is a future where, ten years before the story began, magic appeared on the scene. Large numbers of people became capable of using magic, and a new branch of science was built up solely for the purpose of utilizing magic as new energy source. The result of this is a society that is somewhat divided between the magical 'haves' and 'have-nots', though that isn't the focus of the story, despite what you might otherwise anticipate. The protagonists Senri Senri is your classic 'bad-ass antihero protagonist'. He is clever, intelligent, and overall highly capable, with a razor-sharp mind and battle instincts that would put a Navy Seal to shame and make Golgo 13 look incompetent. His cold-blooded pursuit of his own interests, which are very opaque through most of the VN, is his primary defining feature... Oh, and he lies... a lot. He makes the protagonist of Sharin no Kuni seem honest. Haruto Haruto is a somewhat less beloved type of protagonist in chuunige... basically a 'justice freak' combined with being 'a young man driven against his will by the tides of fate'. He is a natural optimist and a believer in fairness above all. Unfortunately, he also has that bad habit a lot of similar chuunige protagonists have... of sticking his nose into situations he doesn't really need to get involved in. He grows a great deal during the course of the VN (as is typical of this type, if the writers don't suck), and by the end his viewpoint on the world has... been sharpened a great deal by experience. He is more likeable than a lot of similar protagonists, but it still isn't a type I prefer. The Heroines Fiona Fiona, at first glance, seems to be your classic clutzy/innocent nun-type heroine. She works as a nun at a run-down church in the city's... less reputable area and is well-loved by the delinquents who frequent the church. However, she, like most of the characters in this game, is hiding a lot of secrets... She is one of Senri's two heroines. Noa An innocent, pure-hearted girl who is seen mostly as a ghost throughout the first part of the game. She has a really unique way of speaking, born partially from Senri's half-hearted efforts at education (mostly through handing her magazines and letting her watch AVs). To be honest, in the reading of this VN, interpreting her weird speech patterns was a bit difficult at first (she cuts apart words and puts them together in weird ways). She is the second of Senri's two heroines. Asahi Asahi is... a bit weird. Her personality itself is quite straightforward and honest, and she hates lies and general dishonesty with a passion. However, she is also compassionate to a fault and unwavering in the pursuit of her goals. Unfortunately - at least so it seems at first - there are a few loose screws rolling around in that head of hers. Even more so than Haruto, she is an eternal an unrepentant optimist and probably the single most trustworthy individual in the entire VN. Riku Riku is, throughout the VN, perhaps the least expressive individual other than Senri himself. She almost never displays her emotions on her face, and she has an almost unnatural tendency to think objectively about anything and everything, including herself. That the writer managed to grant her so much depth without making her a protagonist was an impressive feat in and of itself... and one of the reasons why her interactions with Haruto and Asahi are so amusing. She really is almost as detached as she seems most of the time, which is one of the reasons it hits so hard when she does become emotional. The VN Sorcery Jokers is definitely VN of the Month material. I'll say that right off the bat. The depth of the story and characters is incomparable with previous games by this company, and while it falls slightly short of a kamige, it is nonetheless something worth taking note of. Normally, I can't stand dual protagonists, as many have heard me mention. I hated Subahibi for that, amongst a number of other sins, and one of the biggest reasons it took me so long to play I/O was because I don't like going into VNs with multiple protags. Fortunately, I managed to get past that, simply because the differing approaches to the story were the only thing that made it possible to grasp something even approaching the whole of the story as it happened. A single perspective wouldn't have done a bit of good as an approach to this VN's story, simply because there are too many things happening at too many different points for a single perspective to handle. The VN's structure is basically that of a kinetic novel, with the illusion of choice through a flow chart (for the first chapter, at least) where you pick and choose which events you want to see next (though you have to see them all anyway). To be honest, I could have done without the flow chart entirely... flow charts in general are an irritation more than a help, especially if they are made a central part of progressing the story. That said, as the actual switching around mostly ends after the first chapter, it isn't really a big deal (though it does make me wonder why they had a flow chart at all). The story's mystery and conspiracy elements feel a lot like peeling an onion, as there are layers within layers within layers. What you thought was the root of things turns out to be just another layer, more than once. As things come together near the end, the knowledge you've gained through the character perspectives deepens the experience nicely, making this one of the few part-mystery VNs I've played in recent years that I didn't immediately have 'read' relatively early on. That isn't to say there aren't points where the VN stumbles. Haruto, because of his role as the 'kid chuunige protag', is the game's Achilles Heel, as all protagonists of the type with his kind of temperament tend to be. However, his growth is enough to offset the cookie-cutter aspects of his character enough that I approved of his role... in the end. Asahi also threatens to tilt the balance of the VN into the realm of the silly a lot early on, simply because of her 'weirdness'. However, because that silliness is a vital ingredient in her growth as a character, it can't really said to be a true weakness, though it can be irritating at times. The endings are all branches off of the true end, one for each heroine (Noa or Fiona with Senri, and Asahi or Riku with Haruto). I had no problems with the epilogues for Noa or Fiona... but I thought that Haruto had devolved a lot in his heroine epilogues, which kind of brought me back to why I didn't like him in the first place. Overall, I felt that this VN is one of the more solid chuunige made in the last few years, especially in the sense of 'balance'. Silverio Vendetta, while it is a lot more exhilarating, also had the difficulty of disproportionately focusing the writer's attention on Vendetta, which weakened the other two paths greatly. Bansenjin suffers from reusing an uninspiring cast and being relatively boring throughout most of its length. In terms of a constant sense of tension and in terms of pacing of events, this VN definitely is the winner of Chuunige VN of the Year so far, though it isn't chuuni-crack in the sense that Silverio was. I'm actually quite proud of the fact that this company has evolved so much since its somewhat... unimpressive beginnings (Bloody Rondo), and I'm glad I stuck with the company. It is always nice to be surprised pleasantly by a VN.

Confession: drafting this card made it hard for me not to cry every time I played it

My favorite character so far is Momo. She's adorable. I also like Aiko, Celeste and Nikki. Well, I admit I got tired of the game after a while, the lack of story kinda makes it boring.

If it's a clicker game, I swear down... That said, I liked this (somewhat more than I should have) so maybe they'd make a half-interesting one? Prolly not.

You don't know how much this sentence made me cheer up. I am always the kind of the guy who hates to grow up because he doesn't want any responsibility. But you made me remember the things that really matter. Life is not just made for you to play around in. In fact, life has more work in it than playing , it's what humans are made to do ever since their species started living on earth, actually that's what all creatures do. Every creature goes out and earns his living. Growing up is something that I have to go through, whether I like it or not. Anyways I am really happy to hear that everything kinda worked out and you are feeling happy

Confession: Taking care of an 11 month child is much MUCH harder work than a paying job. You can't sleep in even on your off days. You pay for more, and make less as you take turns with your SO to work and take care of the child. You're constantly on alert mode with them. There's no rest as long as the child as awake. You have little to no time for anything else. And then she gives you that adorable smile whenever she wakes up and you feel like everything you do in life now is 100x more meaningful.

But who was best girl? This is very important.

An article among others detailing all the crap that's enabled by default on W10. This basically means that most W10 users, who obviously won't bother looking at the advanced settings, will literally have a keylogger potentially sending absolutely everything they type to the microsoft servers. Uh, I think this is unprecedented in terms of "what the fuck is wrong with this gay earth and everyone on it".

^ Delayed for half a year because of Reasons™. But hey, you'll get Sakura Boob Crush, Sakura Flappy Boob and Sakura Boob Simulator in the meantime.

I showed this to my friend and this is his reply:

Back when internet access was for rich people and we still knew the save icon was a floppy disk, our first contact with PC gaming was likely through the game Solitaire. Who can forget the emotion of seeing cards fly all over the window when you got them all stacked up after losing 73 times in a row. Well, Microsoft knew we loved Solitaire, that's why they have brought it back into Windows 10... COMPLETELY REVAMPED WITH ADS! AND NOW FOR JUST THE LOW PRICE OF 1.50 DOLLARS A MONTH YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL THE ADS AND PLAY YOUR BELOVED SOLITAIRE AD FREE. OH BABY! Thank you Microsoft! You really knew the key to make Windows 10 a smash hit! Here's a token of my appreciation: Source: http://www.vg247.com/2015/07/30/windows-10-solitaire-has-ads-you-can-pay-to-dismiss/

Taking care of a kid would require me to grow up. So I'll probably never do that, because fuck growing up.

welcome! your art is beautiful, keep doing it!

Welcome to the forums!

Its not like I would mind a more story based VN based on the huniepop characters or anything god, Audrey is so fucking hot

>Sounds like Rinne

I knew this had to happen at some point. Latest Gintama chapter: Making fun of Love Live

Oh, and just a friendly reminder~ : ^ )

welcome to fuwa Yasu there are some visual novels that are translated to many different languages like katawa shoujo btw this draw is awesome http://uminoyume.deviantart.com/art/Mundial-Diva-495283600

hello nice to meet you~

The translation looked quite all right from the steam screenshots to me. Probably already way better than this game deserves. xD I wish Koestl just concentrated on translating good games instead.

I think these would count as covers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQUOGMGrfLQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8GYyTzBDy4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O09trSUj6eM

http://www.extremete...-skype-contacts Posted that earlier in the thread, but thought i'd point it your way. By design it puts a pretty big hole in being secure (at least if you are on a wifi network/router).

Doddler has used photoshop to smudge the colors a little in a couple imouto paradise CGs, that's pretty much it. If they don't have the originals, they have two options, one is commission a new artist to redraw those portions for them. This adds quite a bit to the budget of a project and it may not even be possible to get permission from the original creators to make those kinds of alterations. The other option is to request the original artist to redraw those portions. Good luck with that. JAST has canceled at least one project due to the uncensored CGs being unavailable, because there is no feasible way for them to properly decensor it themselves.

Can we put up instrumental covers as well, or is this thread lyric based? Anyways here is my contributions, none of which is mine, and any future posts on this thread probably won't be mine either.

I never knew Death Note was a racist anime. Oh btw, this is the sequel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZHbfSDKC0

#PolishHype srsly now, no more offtopic

I'm sure Rooke is a diehard fan of Nekopara and Sunrider Academy. The writing in Nekopara definitely blew him away and caused him to demand more from VNs like fault milestone.

Sekai Project should just contract out sales of its adult titles to Mangagamer or JAST. There's really no point in them having their own shop. Mangagamer can handle both physical and digital distribution. JAST and J-List are equally capable (though JAST seems to have a no DRM stance on digital releases that might cause issues for Sekai Project). Calling BS here. Mangagamer doesn't use a different brand name for Steam.

Windows 7 still the win.

Daily reminder that this piece of crap will be much more popular than Planetarian or Grisaia on Steam.

Boobs still happen, but a bit more slowly, provided you're more than a minute or two into the game. It's really quite the ingenious boob delivery system.

excuse me but this thread is a happy place for chill people to hang out in and have a good time talking about their fav sakura games, and for having a good time clicking on dem anime tittays. don't be such a killjoy

Finished Ran part 2, on to the finale.

Try reading every day since you were four years old... in middle and high school, I generally spent four to five hours a day reading as a matter of course. Which language only matters in how much you can grasp in a given unit of time. S = CT when C=comprehension and T=units of time.
