Every tier after 225$ should just evaporate. Fans shouldn't even touch them... That's how unfair they are. 1,000$ tier should be like 350$, 5,000$ one should be changed into 1000$.... and the most expensive 7000$ one should be 1,500$ instead. I'm not saying give fans "items" for free, but at least at viable prices. It is calles crowd-funding, but that's just pushing it over the edge. If they want it to succeed they should change the higher tiers + add new ones. They had over half a year to organize this kickstarter and that's what they came up with? One word: disappointement. If they think that fans are dumb enough to give them pure money for almost nothing they're wrong... (hopefully) Even though Libra is worse game, the amount of work put in their KS by devs+localization company is outstanding, the amount of tiers is also amazing, the same with fairness of them, and they changed a lot of things according to users feedback. They deserve to be funded.

Oh no! Games get dropped by fan translators at all sorts of progress levels for a huge variety of reasons. Complaining about not getting these free fan translation patches is one of the most obnoxiously entitled things you could do. Don't do this.

I had to read the title about three times to make sure I didn't get the wrong idea I think this is something that happens to almost all of us at least once. A lot of users here stumbled upon the VN genre completely on accident even. If I had to point out the most random story, I'd say it was when I was browsing /h/ a few years ago and found some Katawa Shoujo CGs with Emi and thought having sex with crippled girls seems like a cool game idea this looks like a really good game, and then I found out the title and played it and fell in love with it, even though Emi didn't end up being the best as I initially expected and Hanako won me over.

I feel like you're taking a really idealized approached to the situation that's simply unrealistic. Maybe people shouldn't treat it like a pre-order platform, but it's a simple fact that they do and Sekai Project failed to cater to them. This is their fault more than it is anyone else's, they aren't giving people what they want through the service. It's for that reason this campaign is under-performing. And when you launch a campaign for a project that launches just a month or two from the end date, you aren't aiming to fund that project, you're aiming to recoup its costs. This is a very important distinction. Granted, I actually don't care at all if companies want to use Kickstarter like that. I don't give a crap about the sanctity of kickstarter or preserving its original purpose, people should be free to use it in any way that benefits them, as long as the consumers are getting a fair deal. But I look at this project and I can't help but feel that Sekai Project is just phoning it in, trying to recoup as much of the costs as possible. The customers don't like the value they're getting for the upper tiers and also sense SP's lack of sincerity, and they're responding accordingly.

They're all of fairly similar length so what you read in Tsumugu's route is the same amount of text you'll read in other routes. They're also all shit.

Yes, I'm one of those people who tend to just skim through H-scenes but ironically i am still strongly a part of the "any censoring H-scene content is pure evil" club

I won't lie, I contemplated suicide during the epilogue of that route. But then it ended.

So there's possibility that I'll get part-time job (physical inventory to be precise) on 23rd and 24th if everything goes well. Wish me luck, everyone!

Danganronpa 2 has been licensed in English and is available for sale in the West, that's why the previous translation project for it was dropped. You're very likely to get a DMCA for this if you proceed, just saying. I'd suggest investing your time in franchises that aren't licensed in English already.

I'll be backing it sometime tomorrow or Friday, depending on how much money I can rake in with work... but to be honest, even I did so much work to cover the crap I needed and wanted during the holidays my funds are pretty dry. Sadly, because I did that, I actually cleared about two months worth of contract work, so I can expect to be able to make less money over the next few months because of that. Some of my contracts won't get me any money for the next six months because I cleared yearly projects that make up the entirety of my deals with those companies... Setting up my nephew's college trust fund and health emergency fund drained me pretty badly, lol. Edit: The sad part is that I just completely eliminated any chance to put my brother in my debt... since I essentially set the trusts up in such a way that he and his wife can't touch them, lol... I guess I'm an uncle before I'm an older brother *sighs*

Honestly, I'm worried about the Kickstarter as well, but there's no reason to take money away from a successful kickstarter to this one. Hell, if it fails, Sekai Project learns from this and they improve in my eyes (or they'll keep doing the same thing). Believe me, I want it to succeed and a lot of this community does as well, but having another competitor advertise their game isn't ideal for Sekai Project.

Gahkthun is niche in the niche, so I am rather pessimistic. Same for Kara no Shoujo 2 - which is superior to most of the top-rated novels in the list - but never sold any good.

As some may have noticed, both this and the project thread have been renamed to reflect that we're going to keep working on the series. How far we'll go depends on the others, but work on A-2 is beginning, while A-1 has hit some bumps that we'll work out eventually.

Introduction: So I´ve been on this forum for a decent amount of time now, and for those of you who encounter me in the chat you know: I love yuri. And during my many fallouts with Jade and his trap,(Which is evil ) I post pictures of yuri left and right, most of which are from SonoHana. I realize though that there are people out there who hasn't played these short and plotless amazing yuri games! Therefore, I will be making a blog post to tell you about something that no one should go their life without playing! Before I get started, do note that a lot of these games are translated, with only the newest releases remaining untranslated, BUT! These are fan translations, and the company releasing these games have shown dissatisfaction with the fan translations due to piracy. (There was a way to get the entire game extracted from the patch alone.) Because of this, please make sure you BUY THE GAME LEGALLY before installing a translation patch for these games. (Information on where to buy the games is in the bottom of the post, however, due to their bad reputation, links to the patches will NOT be in this post. Please use the google no-jutsu for that) This is NOT the case for remembering how we met, which is the ONLY licensed translation as of right now. Hopefully this will change in the future Ok so, I am talking about Sono hanabira ni kuchizuke o, a yuri VN franchise which has been releasing games for years now. Writers have come and gone, but the games have still remained somewhat the same, introducing a lesbian couple going to school at an all girls high school for daughters from rich families. The norm has been that each couple gets a minimum of 2 games, with some exceptions being released later on. The games are rather short, cute and fluffy. Its primarily just about the two main characters, and other characters rarely even have sprites in the early games. (Yes I´m looking at you guys, class mate-A, class mate-B) This however, changes towards the newer games, where most characters have sprites and there are more CGs and voice acting from others than just the main characters. Their short length and small amount of content aside, there is still something that makes these games very enjoyable, (except the yuri H-scenes ) and that is the characters and their interactions. I already talked about this a little bit in my previous blog post about sonohana nyuu jene, but I realize that if one haven't played previous games, you won't be able to relate to much I say in that one. And so! The characters and story The characters in Sono Hanabira ni kuchizuke o are wonderful. Each one of the couples offer a set of unique and colorful characters. (Unique as in different from each other, not in a general sense. I know a tsundere isn't very unique characteristic in a visual novel.) Among the many, many couples who have been introduced, we are going to be looking at, Yuuna x Nanami, the first couple introduced in the franchise, and Hazuki x Manami, one of the latest couples. The reason I´m doing this, thereby omitting a lot of the couples in the middle, is simply because of the first and the last aspect, and not because I like the others less or anything. (Though it does have to be said, these two are some of my favorites.) Which couple you will end up liking the most will be different for everyone. Each one of them has their own characteristics that makes you like them. (Or not like them. Though lets face it, no one dislikes yuri. Right?) Let us start with Yuuna x Nanami, and the first Sono hana game released. It came out in 2006, and tells the story of the cute, silly little Nanami who comes to a school way out of her comfort zone. Its a school filled with oujousama´s (daughters of rich families), and she really doesn't feel like she fits in. Her first day starts of bad as her uniform rips and she ends up hiding behind the school building, not going into the reception ceremony. Then, her guardian angel, the beautiful onee-sama Yuuna walks up and asks her if she needs help. She then goes on to patch up Nanami´s skirt. Instantly lovestruck, the next few months of Nanami´s life are dedicated trying to get into a planning committee where Yuuna is the leader. She wants to get closer to her onee-sama, and well, thats where the love aspect of the game beings. I won't spoil too much of the very small amount of story in the game, and will instead speak in a general way about the game. Yuuna and Nanami start dating, and have to deal with issues in school and between each other. There is a simple choice system that will lead to either incomplete endings, or the true end which is quite cute. The rest of the games that follow are made in a similar trend. Girl meets girl, couple meets X issue(s), try to resolve them together, happy end. The games are fairly short, about 5+ hours of reading if you listen to all the dialogue and 2 hours or so if you skip it as soon as the text is read. The games do vary a bit in length, and some later releases do have an increased length, (for example Nyuu Jene comes out over 10 hours,) but for the most part the games are fairly similar in this regard. Moving over to Hazuki x Manami, we have a fairly different setting from Nanami x Yuuna. This couple is introduced in the 19th installment of the series, Nyuu Jene, which I´ve made a blog post on already here: The character´s troubles are essentially the opposite of Yuuna x Nanami, but the actual characters Nanami and Hazuki are fairly similar. The reason I bring this up, other than them being the first and last couples, is to make a point; the characters have kind of been re-used at this point, (lets face it, Hazuki and Nanami are very similar.) But despite this the games are very different and the couple´s "worries" or what have you doesn't feel repeated at all. This is another factor that makes the SonoHana games enjoyable despite their short and "plotless" nature. Navigation through the many titles; how does it work? So, lets take a break from the story and the characters and talk a little about how to navigate through these games. It might look a little overwhelming and confusing, seeing as there are so many titles and the couples are in seemingly random orders. (Kind of...) So far there are 20 games in the franchise. The games have little in common with each other, except A) games that are with a previously introduced couple, working kind of like a sequel, (example games 1 and 6 being yuuna x Nanami, 2 and 4 being Sara x Kaede) B) Games released after Nyuu Jene; These games seem to have the same characters repeated, at least for the moment, and all works as sequels. (After the next 3 are released, this might change. No word on those games are out as of yet.) Other than that, you can just pick a couple you like and play it, which means, YES, you CAN start with, lets say game nr. 3 then play 5 to get its sequel, and go back to lets say 1 and then play 6. Its pretty much just about finding the individual game´s sequel. To make figuring out exactly which game offers what couples simple, literally just look it up on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sono_Hanabira_ni_Kuchizuke_o - Do note that this list currently does not have Revolution - Rinagisa (the newest game) listed, but this is a sequel to Nyuu Jene and offers Rina x Nagisa, but with the other characters as supportive characters with a role in the story. This will probably be added soon though. EDIT: Due to a strange edit on wikipedia, they have removed some of the newer games from the list ... Really don't know why. But if you display the page in Japanese instead, all 21 games are there. The games from 1-15 are on the English list. Do note that the newest games, Nyuu Jene and the rest after are UNTRANSLATED, and have no fan translations as of yet. Conclusion; why should you play these games and where to get them So, why should you play these games? There are many rom-com slice of life games out there, and to be honest I cant really sell why this should be prioritized over the others without mentioning yuri. Damnit. Well, these games are short, simple, but still offer very enjoyable characters and relationships; they are pretty much getting right to the point without beating around the bush with an incredibly long common route and a bunch of filler characters that has little to do with the story. If you are looking for a short, cute, funny and enjoyable slice of life love story, picking up one or two of these games is not a bad idea at all. As for where to get the games, most of them are available on english DLsite, here: (NSFW content!!) http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/fsr/=/keyword_maker_name/fuguriya+RG05173/ana_flg/all/from/work.same_maker For Nyuu Jene and the rest of the games you can't find on DLsite, you can buy them here: (Note that this is a Japanese site, but it DOES accept foreign credit cards. For a guide on how to navigate the site and make a purchase there, look at the blog post below.) http://gyutto.com/i/item161082 (Nyuu Jene) All of the games Remembering how we met is available on steam or on mangagamer and is the only licensed SonoHana title: http://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=0&product_code=149 Alright, thats it for this post.

yea I know the feel, I had suicidal thoughts after I finished my first vn. I still have them after so long

If I lived alone would be no problem ... if ......

Amazon JP doesn't ship computer software outside the country all-ages or not. Also I think it doesn't ship most of the 18+ stuff like wall scrolls etc. but sometimes it does. It's kinda weird what 18+ content it allows and what not.

Oh, yes. And in a bad kind of way. Like - I felt betrayed by this game, throwing shit like this out of nowhere. And that reminds me - Cartagra. Whole lot of bizarre scenes. 'Nun ending'? Hillarious and baffling. Nana ending - even better.

I really like the art style of this game, you're doing a fantastic job so far and when I have the time I'm going to read up more about your project and keep my eye on it for when it's finished. Nun looks terrifyingly omnipotent! The art has very good quality to it.

I didn't have those fonts installed. But I downloaded a new game and every thing is fine now. Downloaded those fonts too. Thanks.

Well, Mare also didn't have a proper route before the FD

ten five!

Nothing else to add, whatever we put on our space is our damn business and if they don't like it then too damn bad ^^

Yeah, high five.

I have a naked loli daki in my room. Just saying.

Monster girl quest , the whole game

Did you install the Japanese Supplemental Fonts on Windows 10? The game can crash if you don't have them. And the game keeps its save data in C:\Users\name\Saved Games\WillPlus\恋する夏のラストリゾート

Even vastly smaller than the odds of winning the lottery are the odds of being happy as a result of winning the lottery.

I second that. In real life that would be annoying, although cuz this is a fictional story I don't break my head worrying too much about these little things unless it makes the story worse. Like I can imagine having to deal with a real life tsundere, I don't know about others but I wouldn't be quite fond of dealing every single day with their complicated mood swings.

In the bottom left corner is a button which lets you choose between different themes. Don't know if that helps. I got the standard theme set up and it doesn't seem slower to me than before.

This is a long comprehesive guide It has now been moved to the mainsite. to read it click the chapter images for the individual parts: note: part 4-5 not made yet. but hopefully will be added in future

Huh, apparently MangaGamer is a pretty good partner if you want to get the word out. That promo was way more effective than I would have imagined.

Of course, you shouldn't be funding a game based on the reward tiers in the first place. Just saying.

ok so i downloaded it and tried to play it but when i tried to open it i got this https://gyazo.com/285285eb8cd051015cc73cc2a7280f80 Now i am running on windows ten so i don't know if that has anything to do with it but i also DID NOT have my regional language in japanese like you're supposed to for dramatical murder so i'm not sure if that had a bad effect on it either. I did tried to do it my self with the IOS link and everything but i didn't have access to that page even though i have an account on airanfantasy so i'm not sure what to do about that either.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Dovac was talking about the WAS Kickstarter, which only had a $10,000 base goal. Witch Boy didn't reach its goal and we still haven't heard a word about it since. If anything, I'd expect them to relaunch the Kickstarter at a later date with less competition and a lower goal/more rewards.

Hello world! I am currently streaming Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. If you enjoyed my previous gaming stream where I was brutally and anally pounded in the rear, please come watch me play an even more difficult game! I'm live right now, and will probably be going for a little bit until I rage furiously. Enjoy! http://hitbox.tv/originalrenfuwanovel

Takoyaki at its finest.

Katawa Shoujo on reddit. People were spamming "OMG! You get to bang crippled chicks in this game, get it now!" With my irl job involving social medias, this immediately stood out to me as to why reddit was going crazy with this so I had to play it myself. Also I was looking for Civilization/Age of Empires type of games or of similar genre and gameplay and one of the top results linked me to Sengoku Rance. Possibly one of the best vns I played with gameplay. Last but not the least, how I discovered my first VN: Ace Attorney. It was the peak of internet meme rage and the Objection! meme was being spammed on the internet. Due to my curiosity, this led me to playing Ace Attorney and several years later I'm so addicted to VNs that I am nearing my 1,000 VN read count.

It's Yami Hana. But call me Hana, got it? "Ha - na". Now, repeat it again, and again, and again, and again. Repeat is as a mantra everytime you wake up. Not only the naming sense is good, it clears your throat too. That way, you'll remember me easily.

Savage.

Finished Noble Works, time to do Shuffle! now.

Translation: 12032/32977 A bit of a small update. Things got busy and I've been lazy . Nevertheless, it's still moving as slowly as it gets. As of the moment, there's still no chance for a partial patch cause of the hacking and editing part. Anyways ciao~ see you on the next update
