(I'm not sure whether this actually belongs here or not, but this board looks like the best place to post.) Don't worry, this thread is not about a possible True Remembrance fanfic or something along those lines. So, without further ado, I'm working on a Ren'Py port of True Remembrance at the moment. However, it's not a completely direct port as I'm aiming for a higher resolution of 1280x960 (original: 640x480, hence the '2x'), where the art assets are manually upscaled with algorithms like waifu2x or through other means. Motivation I started this project to finally learn Ren'Py (and a little bit about KiriKiri), to have a native build of True Remembrance on Linux I can play in fullscreen without all the blurriness (True Remembrance was the only VN I couldn't read in windowed mode) and to see whether upscaling a whole VN with waifu2x is possible or not. If other people will find this project useful, I'm glad, but I'm mainly doing this for me. Progress The port is slowly coming together. The whole script is more or less ported by now - that means it's completely playable (sans the credits), but a few special effects aren't implemented yet and there are issues regarding wrong sprites, wrong transitions and italic text. I haven't touched the GUI yet and I guess it will be a pretty tough endeavour when I get around to do it, the same goes for upscaling the many images with text or the images for the GUI. I also haven't worked out a few other technicalities or whether porting every detail/effect to Ren'Py is even possible, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Screenshots As my project is in no real publishable state, I'll have to resort to a few comparison screenshots to give a rough idea how it looks at the moment. I'm especially fond of the truetype font I stumbled across and which has a real similar vibe as the originally used bitmap font. (It's CrimsonText Semibold if anybody is interested) Originial 2x Port Recruiting I'm not actively recruiting at the moment, but if anybody wants to join, I won't say no . I think that's all for now. The main purpose of this thread was to announce my project somewhere and to gauge interest. I honestly have no idea whether people will find my project useful or will be averse to it. And if there are any questions, concerns or even feedback, I'm all ears.

here mine :3

Hi, I've just joined this site today. I found out I liked visual novels a long while back, but have been kinda putting them off and playing through them extremely slowly until recently. My knowledge, as far as visual novels go, is fairly lacking. Recently, I just finished the entire Muv-Luv trilogy (so good), and my first playthrough of Sharin no Kuni, but my favorite so far is Grisaia no Kaijutsu by a landslide. I'm always open to random conversation and recommendations of good anime or VNs. Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Hello all ((´^ω^)) Please tell me if this topic is not suitable here. I found translated article of this today...((´^ω^)) ”10 Anime Series You Need To Watch Before You Die” http://www.buzzfeed.com/jeanlucbouchard/anime-be-you-should-check-these-out#.no8M1rOmD Thsi was very interesting article I thought several anime they have chosen was "moe" anime such as ”Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha." (I am sorry if you guys dose not categorize "Nanoha" to "moe" anime...) At the same time, I have been curious how you guys tell me if this question would be about VN...((´^ω^)) So, tell me your choice if you would tell me "10 VN You Need To Play Before You Die." ((´^ω^)) I am just interested what type of VN you come up...is there any significant difference between your choice and that of Japanese Otaku? I do not mean that I offend anything...((´^ω^)) Thank you for your cooperation...((´^ω^))

Besides all the Japanese, anime, manga, etc. related things we own, what other things does everyone own that are either rare, odd, or just things that you wouldn't find in any other household very quickly? At the moment, there are 2 things I can think of. I also recently bought this rare oddity, an Ignatz Flying Pendulum Clock. Not a great time keeper, fun to try though. If you can get it's accuracy below 10 minutes per day, you can go and collect your Gold Medal of Tall Tales. $400,- well spent This is one of 8 clocks that were never sold. I bought it brand new, unopened in the box since the 1960s! (They were made from 1959 till 1979)(The foam inside was molding XD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HzJGUuE8gk ^ Yes, this is mine!

that clock, sugooooooiiiiii

Another human has swore loyalty to the neo armstrong cyclone jet armstrong cannon.

Here's mine

Hoshimemo is well rated by a lot of folks, Run is a notable hater (but has decent reasons). I liked it myself. Endings are happy.

Fixed for you

Routes: Asuho - "I'm not good enough for you or anyone" drama. Aoi - "Pity me, I'm a bitch the whole time" drama. Komomo - Sibling + personal reflection drama. Kosame - Same exact route as above. Chinami - Family drama. Mysterious Girl - Hospital drama. Mare - What?

It all depends on the nature of the drama i guess. Instead of me simply selecting something else to play, can you please explain in a as spoiler free fashion what type of drama is included here? Love triangles and such is the type of drama i hate the most, well man-female-man triangles. But i wouldn't call it kittens and rainbows if that was included

Confession:

Minimalistic and simple.

Welcome to being the first half of any gay Fuwa ships from now on

I was referring to the idea that if more actual devs come on, then that will inevitably lead to first party promotion in the visual novel discussion area, effectively polluting it. I'm all fine if they want to act like regular users, but the minute they start promoting is the minute I'm gonna start bitching. We are effectively a discourse community, so not having an area dedicated to first party promotion will inevitably cause trouble. We have an OELVN subforum for promotion, so when first parties start promoting we better have one for them as well.

why nobody likes kokoro, yeah shes a bitch but she gets nicer in her route

Gintama is not Gintama until a giant sentient poop with sunglasses saves the day.

Sad that most people here on Fuwa didn't even saw Scarface.

Huh, interesting little trivia. The seiyuu for Benkei is the same seiyuu for Aisha/Kan'U from the Koihime Musou games. A1 English patch confirmed, has full support of manager for Shin Koihime Musou translation. Majikoi X Koihime Musou coming soon.

LOL NAGI. You goon!!!! that's great

Wanko best girl. End of discussion.

Welcome! I can recommend Rewrite and Comyu as two visual novels I enjoy, and Nichijou as a hilarious comedy anime.

Japanese companies never cease to amaze me. Well, at least they have Degica and Amaterasu to hopefully do some quality control and keep Age from seriously embarrassing itself. So far Age seems to be more responsive to English fans than Frontwing at least.

i don't even

Seinarukana is comprised of 12 chapters + prologue. If JAST sold this game digitally by chapter (the prologue and Ch. 1 could be offered as a free demo), they could price each chapter at around $4 each. That could very well be a price point that Steam users and other casual users would buy into--even if the game weren't sold on Steam.

Oh god, this episode of Overlord. Momonga's guardian was absolutely hilarious.

Happy Birthday Sara

Fucking hate tsundere detectives, they never get shit done.

TFW google chrome asks you "Do you really want to open 120 tabs?" and you reply Yes

I'm pretty darn sure every single character in Majikoi is over 18. no exceptions. also Kawakami Water is non-alcoholic.

What a fag.

This got me way more than it should've 666/10

?? Sure, Shakespeare might have coined some words and so did a few other creative writers, but for the most part, a language evolves without giving the damnedest about official standardizations and written culture. Evolution occurs mainly through the spoken language, and especially the language spoken by the masses. It has pretty much always been so in every languages. French, for example, derived from the vulgar latin spoken by the common people, not from the latin of traditional texts.

Btw, how come did Japanese and Korean get into top hard to pronounce language? Should have put Vietnamese in instead. One hour trying, and my homestay's host still couldn't pronounce my name right.

At work and someone comes to me with the laptop asking me why it's running slow.
