And my FaceHugger suggestion is looking better by the day :3

(Also available on steam)

Hello fellow members of fuwanovel! (Just gonna say it now... I'm writing this all in one go and I suck at proofreading. There is probably a typo or ... 900. Just try to not rip all your hair out. Thank you. ) Man, it feels like just yesterday that I reached 500 posts and made one of these threads. When I finally got my title, I was so excited. I was one of the cool kids I reached 500 posts the 22nd of january 2016, and I joined fuwanovel 25th of september 2015.Today, 4th of march 2016 I reached 1k posts. Now, I call myself a spammer a lot for kicks, though it's not like I actually actively try to spam threads with useless banter. ( most of the time ) Honestly, the reason I've made so many posts over such a small period of time is: I love this community. I spend most of my free time here on fuwanovel. When I'm reading a VN, fuwanovel is always open on my other monitor. When I'm at school, I keep checking the site when I have time, and it's just become that place I always go when I don't have anything to do. It's literally been set as my homepage at this point, and so when I go on my PC to check my email or whatever and I notice a notification on fuwa, I'll always go and check what it is. It's really become a habit now. Fuwanovel has really been an important part of my life these past few months and it's been something that's actually helped me figure out what kind of education I want moving forward. If it wasn't for fuwanovel, I never would have gotten this much into learning Japanese, and I never would have dreamed of going for a bachelor degree in Japanese language and culture, (which is what I have now actually applied for. If everything goes well, I'll be starting my studies in august, and by next year, I'll be studying in a university in Japan.) Visual novels was something I didn't know much about when I came here. I had played like two and knew essentially nothing about … Well, anything surrounding VNs. Heck, when I first finished Makina's route in Grisaia and got the bad end, I thought that meant I wouldn't be able to get a different outcome as I had no idea all you needed to do was load the save and re-do the choice I really was a noob back then. Now, @Kawasumi and @CeruleanGamer have corrupted me, and XX of the dead, Maggot baits and such is on my reading list Really though, I wanted to make this thread to give a huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone on fuwanovel. I feel like I've gotten to know most of the users here by now, and it's rare that I'll see someone who isn't actually new for the first time. Not everyone will know me, as I haven't been here that long yet, though I do hope that people have started to notice me, going "ah right, that weirdo from Norway who is obsessed with yuri". Not only have I met a lot of really cool people here that I've gotten to know fairly well, but I've also written my first ever light novel / book, whatever you want to call it. I've loved writing for a long time, but I never finished anything before. I just kind of made up the story in my head and left it there. With the motivation I got from you guys here, I kept on going and actually finished the book in just a few months. Thanks to the surprisingly positive reception of my story, I just kept on going and wrote almost 140 pages in a few months. I even had someone offer to make a scetch of the main character for free, simply because they wanted to. I've had an absolute blast here so far, and I'm looking forward to spending more time here, (that is, as long as @Tay doesn't break the site again anytime soon Sorry. Just had to say that. We all appreciate your hard work Tay.) That also applies to every single staff member on this site of course, be it board mods, global mods, admins or chatmods. You guys are great, really. You keep this site alive and I think I can say on behalf of everyone, thank you!!! This thread got a whole lot more serious than the first one, (which we discovered had the word "awesome" used 13 times, thanks to @Flutterz counting them up ) I'd just like to say thanks to some of the people on this site, though once again, like in the last thread, don't take any offense if I don't mention you. (Let's face it, no one wants to be mentioned by this weird yuri freak anyways ) First off, @VirginSmasher, @mitchhamilton, @DarkZedge, @Arcadeotic, @Kiriririri, @TexasDice, @Kawasumi, @CeruleanGamer, @XReaper, @Forgetful Frank, @Nashetania. You guys are all spammers and you should be ashamed of yourself! Naw, seriously though, I love all of you. Especially you kiri-senpai. Now gime back my lolis @Kaguya You have called me a lot of names, though I just take it that means you love me (Oh, you don't .. Ok Oh, and I WILL read Dies Irae one day, mark my words! ) @Nosebleed Pretty much the same that I told you last time, you are a great person and ... Um, the salami story you made made me cry. Please write a sequel. I demand a sequel!!! @Flutterz, @Eclipsed, @Zenophilious, @Down, @Kurisu-Chan and all the other staff members, I love you guys. (So pls don't ban me ) @12kami Stop trying to butcher me. I'm just a poor little yuri fan @Jade Traps are still evil. Yuri prevails. And a special thanks to [Deleted member] RIP. Chatmod-chan, poor little chatmod-chan. (Yeah did you guys forget? I was a chatmod for a whole week! HAH! Don't worry though, no one were accidentaly banned by me ... Probably. ) That is it. If you didin't get mentioned, I obviously hate you. /sarcasm. Thanks again to everyone on the forum, new members, old members, staff members, everyone!. Yes, even you Jade. Cheers guys! Here is to another 1k posts! (Since I'm a spammer and all, see you in 2 weeks with my 5k posts thread )

Filthy casuals. We should teach the Japanese how to be true fans of Visual novels.

Alright, think I found the hint ... Though if I did, it was way too obvious Attempt for the lucy giveaway:

I remember when I sent some of those pics to my friend and he made some memes out of them.

The human + animal combination seems like it could be a really fun and cute idea as long as you can come up with the right combination of elements. I also think a male and a female could be an interesting combo, so long as they both fit in one theme. If you go with a duo, I think they should kinda have an "opposite" feel to them, which in turn would make them complement each other really well (think with magnets!). E.g: If you made this really cheerful looking character, the counterpart should be a gloomy looking character Also, just one personal suggestion, if you kinda "chibify" it, you wouldn't have to worry so much about whether or not they look "too loli" or "too sexual". Striving for a more cartooney feel is probably advantageous here. If you look at the image Kiriririri posted, it kind of illustrates how you can have a cute character without any other kind of "sexual features", meaning the emphasis is on the face and the overall cuteness of it.

Animal + Human = Profit???

Beat Blades Haruka I tend to get lost too, no worries

I like this idea a lot, any memorable mascot that comes to mind are animal things. Teddy (Persona 4 ), Kyuubei (Madoka), Pikachu (Pokemon), Snoo (Reddit), Sonic (Sega), Crabigator (WaniKani), hell even Denpasoft has a bunny thing. This is not to say human mascots can't be effective, Mario, Hatsune Miku, and that's all I can thing of. Logo's and Animal/Creature inspired mascots just seem to be a lot more memorable. I still like the GravityGreen inspired mascot, but I have no idea how it would look like. That being said, green, yellow/orange, blue, and pink are the colors I associate with Fuwa. It helps those are the colors that are used in the Fuwanovel logo I'm also partial to cutesy stars so those get my vote too.

First off, thank you for supporting the release, OP, much appreciated. And the same to anyone else who has supported Atom GRRRL!! or any of our other releases...be it on Denpasoft or Steam. To address some of your questions/concerns: The primary function of this download limit is to prevent account sharing. Yes, the game is still DRM-free, but we hope that people will want to support the blossoming western VN community/industry by acquiring the titles legitimately: i.e. purchasing them directly from their publisher or development circle or from trusted third party services like Steam. We also understand that internet access and bandwidth issues can be finicky and downright troublesome at times, so if a registered user has an issue(s) downloading a title they have purchased that can be easily remedied by contacting Denpasoft support.

Being a hipster includes pretentiousness. For example: not liking mainstream, because it's popular. I'm reading mainly old and obscure stuff and dislike most mainstream VNs. But I am not a hipster. I just have good taste. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The spirit of Fuwanovel is in the argument threads. The conclusion itself is irrelevant.

That's one of the better runs I've seen

I have just started Comyu after 9 days without playing a single minute of a VN. I've only played 2 hours so far, but it's got an interesting setup and most of the characters aren't completely annoying yet.

It's good that they delayed this release. JAST loves to take a long time with their releases and then they try an earlier release and you get that demo. Good on them for actually delaying it so they can try to put out a good release.

I played this title ages ago, I love all roguelikes, but I never liked this one I like the mechanics and the premise, but it never clicked with me May give it an another shot when I have nothing else to do

I've tried the demo and loved it. I've been following the development of Bloody Chronicles since Lyra from Prefundia recommended it to me. The gui, art, music, voice-acting is superb! I would just be mindful to go through and make sure any grammar errors are fixed. I like how there is a good solid story to this game. I am guessing that Kazuki is one tough, anti-social guy who has trouble expressing himself. As for the voiceovers; I have say you've got a solid cast here. I really enjoy the performances so far. Sayaka is super adorable and lovely as Aki (I don't think she overdoing the cuteness. I can name so many others that is definitely forced in official funimation dubs it kills), John is great as the tricky and laid-back Akito, and Skyler is nice as Suzumi/Kaoru respectively. I know this game is still in the development phase, but hopefully you will level the voices out more. Akito's lines tends to be overpowered by the BGM. I really like the voiceovers; it really adds a nice touch to the game! Why not leave the indiegogo page going at the same time as your kick-starter? I would love to back your project, but I believe kick-starter does not allow Paypal... and I don't have a credit card at this time. P.S. Diamonit - I would be a little - for lack of a better term, "less harsh" when giving feedback on the VAs. As I know some of them will also be providing voice work for the very game you are developing...

Ya, I'm fine now, ty all :3 That day was the just the worst. First, I had to wake up at 6 AM to go do inventory at a Lowes at 7am. Manager estimated us to be done by 12PM-ish. 1 latest. But he didn't factor in that half of our crew are newbies 'cos all the vets quit already so now I'm technically the new vet and was assigned the legendary screws section So the count went on and on gg me I counted well over 50,000 bolts and screws, all weighed by scale, and wtf it's 4PM, what kinda part time job is this, I don't know what time they actually finished, cuz I had to leave at 4:30 to go home and then get ready for school. Go to school at 6. POWER OUTTAGE. Complete darkness. What is this, Africa? After 30 minutes they decided to send out an official campus closed message. Yippee, we all get to go home, that's good right? Cue the traffic and my overheating car. Fk everything. By the time me and my dad were able to regroup, find a replacement hose at a local AutoZone (thank god they open until 9PM) and make the swap, we were home by 9:30PM ish. Eat some dinner, do some homework, write up some PINK SAGA chapter 2, then boot up Lucy ~The Eternity she wished for~ and complain ~~ Life is good

The demo is an excellent introduction to Bloody Chronicles. I like it very much. I do agree that the story does attempt to cram too much information at first, but I rather have a good understanding of where the story will be heading off to right away, then have a typical slow build-up of the story. 1st person narratives are always the best solution in telling a story or presenting main character's motives/personality traits. An setback with 1st person narrative is that doing so can lead to seeing how the main character perceives the other characters. That alone can bring a narrow perception and understanding of the other characters and just how important their own movies/reasoning/etc. plays a key role in the development and grown of the MC. I personally find 3rd person narratives much more useful and less restrictive. As for the voice-acting; strangely enough, my thoughts are opposite of Diamon's. I happen to think that Aki's and Akito's voice actors are the stronger points here. And I don't understand what is it about some individuals automatically attacking characters with cute voices as grating and "too cute". Aki's VA sounds natural in her deliveries and I don't find her trying hard on the cute here. In fact, it fits the character perfectly. Akito's VA sounds great and has some really nice deliveries, but there are times I feel like he put too much emphasis/stress on getting the point across that certain lines sound odd to me. Not to mention, his mic qualities seems to be the lowest of the entire voice crew, which some lines sounding as if his voice is going in and then out. I am listening with headphones, so that is what it sounds like to me. Suzumi and Kaoru's VA is good, though I have to agree a bit with Diamon that she sounds like she is reading rather than acting sometimes. Overall, I still really like the voice-acting here. The GUI, art, etc. are all superb. Your team just needs to touch up a bit on the script and fix some grammar issues. Great work and I look forward to more of the game.

While ANY form of DRM is undesirable (and that includes Steam, and CD Keys, and a host of really minor things most people probably won't even notice,) I should point out that MG was using this system for many years without people running around and proclaiming the end of the world. Deep Blue has a legitimate case of angst. Most others are merely complaining on moral grounds so take care to keep the hyperbole in check, fellas.

No problem man. I just want to spread around those two VNs for people to appreciate or hate them. As long as people try them, I'm good.

No problem! You do some amazing work, hope to see more in the future

oh you mean @Deep Blue?

Welcome to the Fuwaest (yes it's a word...shut up) Fuwa forums out there...hope you have a great time with us

Hello and welcome to the forums. It's nice to have amother fellow teen here. I hope to see you around.

Good to see you Yanderes are great, I agree Hope to see you around

what will this 1 be about? a vampire that auto-cunillinguates herself to turn into a mahou shoujo?

Now you're just mocking me! Hidoi....Hidoi I tell you...I'll get to the mercenary...You'll see

I'd say there are the ones who like moeges and ones who like good stories So I guess the answer is yes

Oh shit, my b yo ~~ @Fun ye, after that ending I got why you called me out on liking Clover more than Luna. So for the record, Luna is def best girl. But uh, y'know, Clover

Just going to leave this here http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/mod-portraits-like-anime-style.107707/ Modding community already accommodating to waifuism Made Maru best girl tbh

Yeah just read the creative corner post. Will definitely pick it up once it´s out of beta.

Latest story of those that happened to me was a pretty happy one. I was on a VN low without reading anything for like, months. Then @Clephas posted a MAD of Kajiri Kamui Kagura, featuring the Yatsukahagi. As someone who had loved Dies Irae, that video brought me so many questions I pretty much had no option but to play it. I know watching a MAD is basically asking for it, So, it was my fault, but it was completely unexpected. Yay, I guess.

Classy happy high school modern VNs to read would be Princess Evangile, Noble Works, Kono Sora, Koi Rizo. Happy high school that turns Supernatural/superpower-fate-of-the-world would be Rewrite

They said you can get more downloads if you need to by emailing them... literally what is there to be mad about?

philippines......

Demonbane is a must read.

I think your item is the most legit lol, Since you know most of the figures(official and bootlegs) were made in China anyway.

went with exodus guilty because I didnt know it lol

Liar-Soft definelty nails the character designs always

I really love the design of Carol from maggot baits. (Yes, I went there ) Her design is just perfect; subtle but deadly. The colors are great, the smaller details like the piercings and the cat ears look awesome and things like her stance when holding her sword too is just so cool. Her outfit is really simple, but it looks epic and fits well with the bright colors from her eyes and sword.

Well done Mitch, your artistic prowess has no match

I cant. its too embarrassing.

I want the key. If you find this picture to not fit the criteria, please say. It's just too dank not to post.

Both Portuguese and Brazilian people prefer reading stuff in their native dialect as it makes it easier to understand what's written. It's very apparent whenever something is written in one of them and although for Europeans there's usually no big issue understanding Brazilian Portuguese, we still prefer using and reading the European variant whenever possible, and I think it's perfectly reasonable to have a game with both.
