Not sure if this has been done before but you the protag, are an 80 year old man and your wife has died. You get sent to an old folks home or maybe an neighbourhood for old people waiting for their time to come. There you meet with 4 other senior citizens. One if them has azeimers disease, the other is a crazy cat lady(because why not), the third is a bed ridden grandmother who has been hit by stroke, the final heroine is an old lady who refuses to act her age. Your goal? Find a way to escape the old folks home and get revenge on your children for sending you there. What were you thinking? Find love as an old man to replace your wife?

Still in beta, but most of the foundations are already there. I have yet to start on the info section for each visual novel, but will likely place info on the easiest way to legally buy the VNs and stuff. Images need to be resized too. Do help me out on ways I can improve on the layout of the site. My focus is to keep it "Simple and Clean".

When the heroine is independent and doesnt behave like a fucking dog chasing around the protagonist's butt, examples of this are lilly in katawa shoujo, haru in senjou no maou, sachi in sharin no kuni etc etc. Preferably not shy and with good humor, well i just dislike the common girl in most of the vns specially the childhood friend which it seems that it cant live without the MC, is air to her lungs >_>

To all the Finns there~ Finnish translation of Bishoujo Mangekyou -Norowareshi Densetsu no Shoujo- is now done and out. Get it here: http://www.apokalauta.org/he/res/7328.html I was not involved in the project but just wanted to share it with all the massive 5 Finns that visit this site PS. Sorry for all the non-Finns if I got you excited and if I posted this in the wrong place (should probably be in Fan Translation Discussion?), mods please move it xD

Hello every one , I'm Esther hope u like my work used: photoshop My Art room http://esther-fan-world.deviantart.com/ tumblr http://esther-36.tumblr.com/

Now at first glance this seems bad, but isn't really just kinda annoying? Like many games, wouldn't it be incredibly easy to "game" the system. Like sharing several dozen pro-government posts to off-set a single anime import? I can also see a small group of people that dedicate themselves to raising their score and offering to friend other people to raise their score in turn for a small monthly payment. Like all things brand new this specific program will likely end in failure, but it is entirely possible that it will pave the way for something worse latter on.

I already explained that to someone (Stormwolf probably). You seems read in rush or dunno. It is clear that he is the one, no one else. And there is radio drama 2CD exist, I heard it cover the events in years inbetween. Girl name in spoiler. And last one from the ending: Seems all match. Anyway I cannot think of any other name which could be so important to him, and actually whole story is based on the fact that his sister died, if not that - all the story would probably never happen, as this was the turning point for the main characters.

No, you're going to hell when you die.

The cost of developing an entire professional quality VN is around $200k I think. Adding new content isn't that hard or costly, but rather than squeeze another route in they'd likely make a fandisc. The cost of doing so would probably be $50k or less, which makes for a very reasonable stretch goal. Unfortunately, Kickstarter stretch goals aren't designed to provide value to backers on a cost basis; they're designed to be cheap gimmicks that prime the PR machine without adding much to costs, such that most of the revenue after the initial goal is met is pure profit. In short, there's simply no incentive to provide stretch goals that wouldn't be profitable. No stretch goal at all is better from a business perspective than a stretch goal where revenue equals cost.

my would be breavy and smarts, two great tranits that cant be beaten.

Hey, powerless characters are interesting too. In fact, I'd prefer if I had some more of them to work with. This looks like it's heading in the direction most could-have-been-great-works have gone... Unlimited hiatus works :c On the other hand, if ya can keep things at a good quality, we can wait a bit. And if you think there are too much characters, you can just make a list of the ones that are going to be in this story and leave out others for one to come or something. I do prefer honesty over ambiguity, and even from a reader's perspective, keeping track of a crap load of characters is hard. So do what you feel you must, and fear not our judgement O great Kaguya. We're a community of VN readers after all, our writing standards are pretty low Hidden Content I actually feel like there's not enough characters for a full-on warring states story. Need some more commanders.

I mean, I mentioned a poll.... As for order, yea, I'd like to keep releases in order. Then again, who knows, maybe Minatosoft will release the whole A series as a single game before we finish, and we can just release them all at once(this should not be taken as a commitment to doing them all, nor saying we're not going to release one title at a time; this is a joke, please don't hurt me).

Nice to meet you, I'm your polar opposite.

Submissiveness. Enough loyalty to throw their lives away to follow an order. My favorite heroines are, no doubt, the "loyal dog" type.

Naizuri =p

1. I love heroines who are smart, have good education credentials (university grad), and very competitive, like Kurisu Makise and Ema Skye, thus they are my top 2 waifus. 2. I'm fine with virgins but jesus christ, these heroines should know how a penis react, not be shocked that it gets hard and leaks precum. 3. In NTR/forced VNs, I love when the heroine gets corrupted and switches their personality. 4. Tsundere especially when they get embarrassed. 5. I don't care much for hair colors or hairstyles, although I have a slight preference for long haired girls. 6. Not a bitch. Doesnt go around causing drama. 7. Has a good appetite, both with meals and sex. Doesnt do all this dieting nonsense. I seem to have developed a fetish for cute heroines who say "Oishi!" when they eat something delicious.

You know, I don't think I've yet come across an Orekko/Bokukko that I haven't liked yet...

Snark. Cynicism. Sarcasm. The most deadpan lines a human being could possibly utter.

two things Tsun-tsun and pink.

Make sure you have permission to link those patches from the groups who release them, some are really rather picky about that thing and would rather have you grab from their links only.

Well I´m not Finnish but its always cool to see patches made for different languages than just the normal mainstream ones. Cool stuff Now, just to pray for the day I see a norwegian patch for a VN. That would be cool. (Though in all honestly I prefer reading in english as Norwegian is a boring language.)

You know what this thread lacks that should be the main feature of any history thread? Sources. Right now it mostly looks like a compilation of buzztopclickbait.com's upcoming articles titles.

Thanks everyone, I almost forgot I had a birthday.

Confession: I like my luck sometimes, I wasn't really quite prepared for the exam and then I find the teacher giving us a second time to take it instead of today which is on Saturday. Since when does any religion prevent eating shrimps? This is the first time I have heard about this. And isn't beef bacon an OK to almost all religions too? I can actually relate to parts of this, and maybe there's something that this post could help with.... In the end, still it's me whining though, so take that into consideration- it's both a self-confession and a reply to you: Hidden Content btw, congrats Flutterz for that Reddit secret santa gift! I should do that when I become 18. Confession: I haven't been able to eat lunch with my group of friends at my school for the last few weeks (I've been doing that daily since I started HS). It's very depressing. I feel like I'm being separated from them, which is terrifying. I have been playing too much hearthstone that HS doesn't translate as highschool to me anymore.... I have been trying to get some time to reply to you but arabic exam was too strong for me to ignore Also happy birthday, Rains. Too lazy to go to birthday thread. May you have the best luck in maintaining your current job and relationship

Are we doing this? YES WE ARE! So, hi fuwa. Im now 500(501) in and being a fuwa "elite" and all I thought it was the perfect occasion to make a post like this. I have been here for around 11 months now so maybe I should have made this post for my 1 year anniversary as Eclipsed did, but hey im doing it now. Although necroing a dead meme is simply not enough for me so im doing it originalrun style and going to thank people here. You see, when I joined I had nothing, I was a bum on welfare, I also felt like shit in every sense of the word, I was shit, the world was shit and my situation was overall shit. But, there was exceptions, for example Visual novels and the community that came with it. So here im sitting now nearly 12 months after, I got into the education of my dreams, I have actual energy, I have a cute girl im seeing atm and my appartment is actually clean for the most part lol. I also got over a pseudo social anxiety I build up from being a borderline NEET at that time that I finally got rid off, which helped me start some new and old IRL relationships up again. The community helped me a great deal to make me reach what I wanted and overcome my fears. Suddenly I had people I could talk to anytime if I felt like shit and I had whole skype chats that wished me luck with my entrance exams, which gave me so much motivation and willpower. So thanks fuwanovel, I love everyone of you, here is to another 500(499) posts!

Wow this was too long so I need to stop it here, again, im very sorry if I didnt include you and you feel forgotten I will make it up for you in a PM or something <3 Godspeed fuwa!

Uh well the first thing I would say is add a search function so its easier to find novels. Also maybe consider making a list for each letter instead of "A-F". That way its even easier to navigate. Is this meant to have all available translated novels + patches? If so its seriously lacking at the moment. (Although it is in beta, so that might not be that surprising.) Other than that, it looks pretty good. It sounds like a decent idea. Its nothing you cant find at lets say VNDB, (although they dont list all patches, they link you to the main site of the translators where you can find that info.) That being said, having one site specifically for this stuff might be a good idea indeed.

One of the best tracks of 2015:

It's her, and i guess you'll get twice the enjoyment if you want that particular scenario with Eika, enjoy!

That sounds fking hot , I'm convinced now, despite all the lackluster comments I heard about this VN, I will read it, if not solely for that scene.

A wise decaying man once said, "Nosebleed's aight, maybe a bit overrated. 7/10". In terms of moderator popularity (how well known they are), my assessment is GMs: Nosebleed > Kaguya-hime > Down > Kendjin > Beato. It's a coin flip on who's the most liked, though. My undying loyalty still goes to Kaguya-hime if that means anything.BMs: Flutterz > Eclipsed > Zeno > Helvetica > there's other BMs? jk Nohman > Stray died. Flutterz is the most liked, by me as well <3

Finally...

Hidden Content I think you missed the part where it's going to eventually be mandatory for all Chinese citizens. you forgetting that people that do not get anything interesting will just give up on following it. giving gifts will cost money, as history shown give people gifts and they will find a way to abuse it. this isnt about following a law, its about how much will people stand for it until they give up on it.

They're announcing A-5's release date on Friday and the last couple have had their dates announced pretty close to release. It will probably come out next month. So if you want to skip around a little, I don't think many would complain about getting a Yoshitsune route sooner. You know, just saying.

good news, its never going to work. the first game to ever do something like this is from google (yes they were trying). it was called ingress but people stop playing due to phone fees and just plain not worth it. if china wants to give people something it needs to be useful or else they just quit.

Do you guys realize how much i miss this page? Screw IPB 4.0 Well it still kinda exists Also yay for victory!

I tend to rate VNs based on the whole package, not just singular elements. Story, art, voice acting, settings, gameplay (if applicable), h-scenes (if in a nukige or h-heavy VN) etc. I tend to view story and art as more important, obviously, but the others still matter to me. That's why almost no nukige would be a 10 to me, because they sacrifice story for fap material. I think rating something for only one aspect of it is a little strange, but to each their own. Anyway...[/tangent] I am more for ratings on a vn's purpose. Story and characters are great elements to have but I value the purpose more. If it's a galge/otome, I prefer that the artwork must be at least decent and the relationships are handled nicely. If it's a nakige, I expect to shed some tears and if it does that well and not too forced, then the game did its job. If it's a nukige and all the sexual elements presented are to my liking and satisfy most of my fetishes then I wouldnt mind giving nukiges a 9-10 rating even if the story/characters are crap.

Are you gonna implement a hard formula so we can get a solid feel on overall power levels, Kaguya-hime Something like Posts have a 1 power value, ie. 1,000 posts = 1,000 powerLikes have a 2 power value, ie. 1,000 likes = 2,000 powerSo I (4,288 + (1000*2) = 6,288) would be stronger than Kosaki (4,644 + (690*2) = 6,024), but we both individually get rekt by Flutterz (4,123 + (1,728*2) = 7,579) So spamming isn't the way to victory!?

Okay, "Underling"

Who the fuck is Ritty

I always love me some game-over rape games. Wish there were more games like this.

Fair enough, all I wanted to do was point out that her character isn't as unbelievable as other stuff that happens in this game. For example:

I thoroughly enjoyed Magi as well, when I watched it; solid story, characters, pacing, art - it nails the essentials. Although for some reason I, also, have not made time to watch season 2 of it... but someday, I certainly will. I finally finished Accel World over the weekend. I mostly feel relieved to be done with it; it wasn't bad per se, but it wasn't especially good either. I watched it just because a close friend (actually the only fellow otaku I regularly talk to in real life) recommended it to me; I won't do the same to you. Accel World is a solid Don't Watch. It's got a mess of a plot, very few likeable characters (and mostly simply not believable ones, which if you're familiar with my [low] standards means that they are really not at all believable), and a really arbitrary motivating backstory. While the "accelerated world" is kind of interesting at times, the rules always feel way too arbitrary; the writer just invents whatever is convenient at the time and then explains it away. Lazy. If you're going to invent some big magic-like system, it's way more interesting to impose more constraints up-front, and then make those constraints work for you; Accel World mostly uses the acceleration powers and burst link powers as a massively boring deus ex machina. But really, the worst is the characters. The second season villain is the worst cackling crazy inexplicably evil villain I've seen in a long, long time. Once again: lazy. After wrapping that up, I needed something good, so I picked up Bunny Drop. Holy shit is it good so far. It completely hooked me in one episode (one episode to first tears shed; new record), and I had to really restrain myself to stop after two episodes (I'm trying to savor it).

540 °Ra it's summer of course

Mission 4: Operation Fading Sleep Alien Intelligence Reports I took a break from XCOM when fallout 4 came out and while I'm still playing that and Witcher 3 the recent videos and information released on XCOM 2 have gotten me back in the mood for XCOM. I still plan to go through an entire game (winning or losing) before XCOM 2 is released bu we'll have to see. This particular mission was pretty easy (and designated easy and that's partially because I was hoping to be able to upgrade one of the units so I could get squad size increase but unfortunately that is proving a bit elusive with picking random people each time. Hopefully it doesn't cause me to wipe in the future. I also have to say I was quite impressed with Funnerific this round for taking 3 enemies out at once with a rocket...had that attack not connected I imagine at least one of the four would have died.

That's a slippery slope. Unfortunately, that doesn't help in most cases. です (desu) frequently doesn't translate directly into an English word. Instead, it is usually an indicator of a speech mode, in this case the 敬体 (keitai) (formal) mode, also referred to as 敬語 (keigo) or ですます (desumasu) style because of the syllables it uses. A sentence written in ですます is no different in literal meaning than one written in 常体 (joutai) (casual) mode. However, it is usually considered a more polite and formal style of speech. You can consider it the difference between responding to a request by saying "Yeah, sure" (casual) or "I shall." (formal). Same meaning, but you get a different impression of the speaker by how it is said. It would be used when speaking to someone of higher rank, for example. Even more unfortunately, what we have here is *misuse* of the speech mode, in a way that suggests a low intelligence speaker. E.g., normally 'desu' would be correct to use at the end of some of her sentences, but she uses even when she shouldn't, as if she doesn't understand the actual grammatical rules for her mode of speech. It's hard to come up with an English equivalent 'quirk' that carries both the implication of respect and formally combined with stupidity. But however hard it is, or inaccurate, almost anything is better than tossing in a Japanese word that is a grammatical concept rather than an English word. (The actual discussion of different speech modes and keigo vs teineigo vs bikago could take forever, and produce shouting matches between professorial experts, so it is best not to think much about it here)

Youre doing the game injustice if you play Libra on a damn small Vita screen. One thing for damn sure. I am not playing this game with less than 1920x1080 resolution. I want to see my waifus Aoi and Lycoris in all their glamour and glory.
