Hooray for huge progress. This week has been a blast to translate. I was somewhat saddened nd disappointed that I didn't get to my goal last week and get the script file completed. Well, that's the past, more so because I got two script files finished. That's right. 6th and 7th script file are now fully translated, which means I went through about 100 kB of text, maybe a bit more, this week. I feel so good now. Anyways, this means that this is the biggest update yet, surpassing the second update on this site, that was almost 10%. Now one final wall stands in the way of this game being fully translated. I aim it to be done in a month or so. Look forward to it. Translation: 7/8 script files finished (~83%) Editing: 9,2% QC: 0% Proofreading: 0% See you again next week.

Hello! I am 46 years old and have been programming almost my entire life. I've always wanted to create a game but life wasn't interested. But now I have the possibility to create one so I will start by making a VN style game (with some differences). I hope that you will appreciate my project and that you will help me with comments and feedbacks! You can find my project's thread here. Hope to read you soon!

I'm hoping for Akabeisoft2 or Light, lol.

Hey guys, most of you guys might not know that I am actually a VN collector (Pretty massive one) and I would like to share what i own so far. I am a ultra Grisaia Fanboy. Keep that in mind. And also let's make this post into VN collection post for people to share their loot? Room of Grisaia?

Visual Novel Translation Status (05/14/2016) Okay, the title might be too cheesy and laughable, but it's the truth from VNTS image from otome games. For this week release, I must admit that the graphic from those 2 games were not my taste ie didn't like it too much as of now. As for the premise of the VN, one of them was quite interesting and another one was very ridiculous, so much I'm laughing inside. For ridiculous one it would be otome game which the premise was something like your pet was turned into 5 handsome man. And the man who almost kiss MC in the image header was pig before he transformed to handsome blonde man, so I based the title on that. Although the premise may be absurd, actually we had something like that in the past. The example here would be Fruit Basket, which had quite successful for both anime and manga. For Fata Morgana, okay I'm always said that gothic art was not my style for VN, but I think another concern of mine would be VNDB Bayesian score which as of now was at 6.57 which is quite low to said that, although the vote as of now was also low at 25 votes. The premise was actually quite interesting though, it was something like MC was see the tragedy that happened in the mansion where MC was trapped or something along the line across century. Even though Bayesian score in VNDB was quite low and I might not click too much with the art, I said that you better not hesitate to play Fata Morgana. I mean that I remember I tried to play Higurashi before I apply PS2 graphic patch and it was still quite good imo (And I'd always think that old Higurashi art was bad). Might as well tried it in future and I'll try to get used to the art. After all, there should be good reason if EGS score and VNDB average score was around 8 as of now (scorp and conjueror apparently like this VN). Other than 2 releases and usual Mangagamer 2 weeks update, this week we also had some interesting news from fan translation one, especially from dergonu and arcadeotic here. JAST was once again as usual ie no update from them at all. Although this week Mangagamer was did less update compared to 2 weeks ago, they cover very important VN this week and it was quite interesting (Also in regard of 6 announcements from them). For Sekai, the progress was same as last week, but for this week we didn't had any significant update from Maitetsu. So, overall I think compared to last week, this week actually had some quite dynamic ie more update and more interesting release. Sekai Project The least interesting segment would be Sekai Project, so I'll write my comment on it first. Darekoi and Memory Dogma was had some nice update, while Maitetsu somehow managed to get even more slowed down with the progress at 0.02%. As for WEE, congratulations for reaching three quarter of the translation progress or to be exact it was already at 78.20%. Well, I think I'm the same as Decay, waiting until episode 3 release and hopefully they managed to release WEE this year. About release planning for Just Desert, I'd just read the news about the release plan and Sekai said they will released it on July 11th. What made it interesting is that they'll release it in 3 language (Indonesian, English, and Japan). Unlike back at Aokana 5 language translation promise, this time it was actually sensible promise. English should be obvious why if you want to asking the reason, and as for Indonesian since this is Indonesian VN normally they should release it in Indonesian language of course. For Japan, I kind of doubt if they could did that though but maybe they could do it if they did some extra effort imo. I think it would be interesting for sure that Sekai will publish Indonesian language VN, and to me at least I could read it in 2 of 3 language for Just Desert (English and Indonesian). Might as well comment on this later, since this VN was from my country and I think I should see how good it is. Fan Translation First of all, for AstralAir this week it was at 77.16% right now and looks like it was picked up after slow update from previous weeks. For arcadeotic project (Bishoujo Mangekyou), right now we had 7 out of 8 script translated (Or around 83%) and for editing it was at 9.2%. Arcadeotic promise that he'll finished this in June, which remind me that Nosebleed will released rough patch for Miu's route (Dracu Riot) around June (He promised back in April that he'll need 2 months for the first rough patch). Well, let's see it later and coincidentally both translation project was involving vampire (Coincidence maybe). For dergonu project, congratulations for reestablishing the project and from now on I will call it Tsui Yuri. Anyway, as of now Tsui Yuri progress was at around 13% or so. Oh, and finally this project was added to VNTS. Congratulations for that too, dergonu. For more interesting news we had 2 new moege translation project sort of established. First about Hanasaki, I think the premise was about the club for the people with regret. Other than the premise, I'd only knew that this VN had quite good score at VNDB (Average at 8.09 and Bayesian at 7.60 as of now) and this is 2nd Saga Planet VN after Nijima Yuu left the company. Speaking about Niijima Yuu, his work Majo Koi Nikki also got translation project. As of now there's still no progress, but they already established the translation team as Luna Translations. Interestingly, apparently both of those 2 games only said prologue for first route instead of common route (Hanasaki only said prologue before character route by the way, and Majokoi had prologue line count one third of total line (11,000 out of 39,000 to be exact)) in the translation project. And for now I think I'll keep the eye on for both of the project (Of course if both of the project give update I'll inform it). Mangagamer First of all, I think people already knew that Fatamorgana was released today. I think I'll said enough in the beginning so I'll not repeat it here. And as for usual update this week we didn't had Imopara 2 update and Kuroinu at 63% (Before forgot, we also had Evangile W update at 22%). For Pygmalion and Da Capo 3, both of those were almost finished (Pygmalion was at 97%, while Da Capo 3 was at 92.5% and editing at 87.5%). And Bokuten was finally fully translated. I think the progress was indeed very good, although Da Capo 3 progress here was slightly slow down though. For Bokuten once again I'd only knew that the angel there was forming a band, both of Natsuhiko and Watase seiyuu (Root Double MC in case you forget about them) was voicing side characters here, and according to tyrosyn the H-Scenes was quite important compared to previous Overdrives games. Well, according too the progress at least we could be sure that Bokuten will be released this year. I think that's all for my VNTS Review this week. See you next week. PS - Apparently there will be many interesting announcement next Saturday morning. Even if the announcement was not interesting, I'll try to write my thought about it here. PPS - I'd forgot to report this, but as of now for Libra translation they managed to translate 20% of Mari's route. I'll also keep an eye on Libra progress too.

I doubt they literally mean "Why are you crouching here" - more likely it's just "What are you doing here" with しゃがむ used to lower his position (in addition to the -やがる). "What do you think you're doing crawling around in here, worm" And for the next sentence, this is indeed something like "Do you think this place is yours alone or what?"

Damn that looks so badass, silver with yellow trim really fits aswell..also the black that kinda looks like carbon fiber-ish material is also really fitting. love the overall design of him. As always great work.

One of those gotta be Rance 6 right? I wantz more Alicesoft!

ChuableSoft would be a great addition and they seem easy to work with judging from their CEO.

the anime does a better job of telling the story than the VN. VN drags shit out for far too long.

HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It'll die out within the next decade, dw JK, but this trend does indeed seem promising We can hope together!

Damn, nice. Hopefully some good stuff gets announced. (The drama CD announcement and a steam release for an already launched game was pretty boring last time.) (Maggot baits translation this time?! N-No? Ok ) (I still have hope!)

I already posted this over in the "Recent (Japanese) stuff you bought" thread, but here's my modest VN collection: Most of that is probably unreadable, and I'm way too lazy to take a bunch of close-up pictures, so here's the legend for the map: (top row, left to right) G-Senjou KonoSora Swan Song (hidden by camera angle) F/SN + F/HA Cross Channel MajiKoi Kanon Air Little Busters!

Hey, it's the first time I was negative, for a change. What did you think of it? http://reviews.fuwanovel.net/2016/05/09/gahkthun-of-the-golden-lightning-2/

Bitch please.

Publishers do 3 things: - Finance you - Advertise your product - Distribute your product If you’re releasing your game in digital format only, reason number 3 is gone. If your kickstarter proves successful you won’t need reason number 1 (and TBH, you’ll be hard pressed finding a publisher willing to finance an OELVN.) That leaves reason number 2, and publishers like MG or even Sekai don’t do a whole lot on the marketing front. I would seriously question the need for one, TBH. My favourite indie, Jeff Vogel, never needed a publisher and he’s been chugging along for more than 20 years now

Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! A fellow Canadian, eh? What's your favourite VN? Have a moe:

I'll take you on! This doesn't mean that all I'm going to recommend are great titles. I'll be recommending anything from masterpieces to decent stuff. After all, all that bollocks is subjective anyway. *ahem* Let us start with... Itazura na Kiss - Comedy and Romance, this has them both. I've never seen a romance that goes so far with its plot, and I must therefore recommend it. It's flaws? A cold as ice male romantic interest who will constantly suffer from what I can only call some sort of bipolar disorder, his tsundere levels are off the charts, and not in a good way. The female is the sweetest thing ever, though. Expect the supporting cast to change with the times, which is great. Compare to Nodame Cantabile. Reiterating Fred's Kimi ni Todoke. If you can somehow last through the first season (not that hard, diabetes inducing in many ways besides the romance), it'll only get better. D.C.: Da Capo - Very tentative recommendation, because I dropped it. Not because it was bad, but because I watched it at a bad time. It felt very fun, very classic. I enjoyed it greatly, but I have no idea how it ends. It's also a VN adaptation so... Kimikiss: Pure Rouge - Can't exactly recommend it in good conscience because I ragequit when my preferred love interest lost, meaning I don't know how it ends, but I got a pretty good sense of where it was going, so I wouldn't worry too much on that front. I would compare this to Amagami SS, so if you liked that, you'll like this - with one key difference. As I implied earlier, Kimikiss follows one continuous storyline. Only one female will triumph and the rest will be left to eat dust and tears. Kaichou Wa Maid-sama! - Will give you the typical "confession during the final episode" sort of thing. Also, spoiler alert. For the most part, it's a comedy with an average plot and whatnot. Want something decent to pass the time? This will do. Romantic comedy at its most stereotypical. Although the premise is somewhat unique. Special A - See Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Emma: A Victorian Romance - Literally just found out this existed. Will recommend in virtue of the great manga and decent MyAnimeList score, but be aware it's a wildcard. Fortune Arterial - I've been told many a time I have terrible taste. That I absolutely adored this terrible VN adaptation is evidence of that. If you have any intention of playing the VN (like I did, and liked the partial patch), steer clear of this one. Otherwise, I really liked it, for some reason. Love interest is clearly defined in the end. I liked the conclusion. Comedy Department Working!! - Give it a try. See if you like the comedy. If you do, keep at it. You may even get romance as a bonus. You liked Azumanga Daioh? Then- oh, wait. It says 'decent'... Doesn't matter! Give Lucky☆Star a try anyway! Watch a couple of episodes. If you don't like it that's that. Keroro Gunsou - I never watch long running series. I watched this one. Sgt. Frog is hilarious. If you don't want a big commitment, just try the English dub, since it only covers about 40-something episodes. It's like an abridged version of the first season, but equally good if not better. Do you prefer English or Japanese pop culture references? Like any comedy anime, I'd recommend you try it first and make a judgement later. There's really no review that could possibly make a comedy anime justice. If I dig deeper, I can probably come up with more stuff. Still, I'm sorry I don't have any hidden romance masterpieces you've somehow never heard of before (except Itazura na Kiss). I was expecting to pull something out of my hat... I didn't. @Fred the Barber Would you recommend it to me? It's been on my list for a while, and I've been slowly expanding to 'good anime' beyond pointless comedy and romance.

@TheFantasm About that yes, there will be a new choice in chapter 8 regarding Narukana. According to the translated guide, you should choose 1st choice as soon as you see the choices in chapter 8 and you'll locked to Narukana route. I didn't knew translated word for the choice though.

Oh, welcome to Fuwanovel and enjoy your stay here. As for the project, let's just said the screenshot was quite interesting although will the sprite change if we had different gender ie man and woman MC sprite will be different. I think as of now your project still lacking info, so I couldn't comment much. Good luck for your project, and if you need help don't hesitate to ask us, especially if you need some idea from us.

Ok, after checking the list, here's a few: Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (comedy) Kimi ni Todoke (romance) Princess Jellyfish (comedy + romance) Nozaki is quite possibly the funniest thing ever. I was roaring with laughter the whole time I was watching it. The romance in it isn't going anywhere, but that's not the point. If you haven't seen it, you should put it right at the top of the comedy backlog. Kimi ni Todoke has pacing issues and is often frustrating, but it's also very heartwarming, and it has a lovely, complete ending. It's a very sweet show. The romance in Princess Jellyfish doesn't reach much of a conclusion, but it's a short one, and the execution and premise are excellent. Very funny, and also very sweet. Just extrapolating from all the suggestions I'm making, although they certainly say more about me than about you, but it looks like you may have a tendency to avoid shoujo and josei adaptations? Those often end up being among my favorite shows, especially in the romance department. There's usually fewer cute girls around, which I won't deny is a downside to me, but the characters tend to be deeper and the romance usually feels less forced. Tentative recommendation (another josei manga adaptation): Chihayafuru It's one of my all-time favorites, but although it does have romance elements, they aren't the focus, and comedy doesn't enter the picture at all. So, it's hard to claim it really meets the criteria... But it's fantastic! I also notice you haven't seen Honey and Clover (running theme: josei manga adaptation). It wasn't my cup of tea, but it might be yours. It's got more real romance than pretty much anything else I recall ever seeing, and it's great at always keeping you guessing about the direction of the plot. The final resolution is also very complete.

$$$ Those are some nice collections guys

Hello and welcome to the Fuwa forums, hope you enjoy your time here. Best of luck with your project aswell.

Hello, it's always good to have more devs around See ya around

Hey, slow down brother Surely there's nothing wrong with that, on a forum where people are showing off their Japanese all the time?

Well, I don't really care, but I'm just happy that my country (Belgium) made it to the finals!! Go, Laura Tesoro, doe je best, ik stem alleszins al voor jou! Maak de inwoners van België trots (niet dat we al trots zijn, natuurlijk :p).

Imitation is the sincerest form of fluttery. Welcome to the forums, Verb. Can I call you Verb? I'm gonna call you Verb.

I have few recommend anime for you to watch 1. Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na -Crescent Love- 2. Fruits Basket 3. Ouran High School host Club 4. Love Hina 5. Shuffle

New partner is Nitroplus and Muramasa will be released in the West. Because JAST will never do it

My predictions for Anime Boston/Sakuracon: And my predictions for upcoming Anime Central: Mangagamer: Hardcopy (probably euphoria...) Nukige/Hardcopy Nukige Nukige New partner/Moege (Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica/ChuableSoft) Good title/Moege from existing partner: 1) Clock Up - Maggot Baits? 2) Alice Soft - Rance? (I think Evenicle is too big to be announced here, also Haruka's been out just for 2~ months) 3) Caramel Box (Surprise us?) Sekai Project: Big title Big/Small/18+ title

If I had to settle, I'd probably settle for 3rdEye or Eushully, though. lol

Yeah. The main idea is that. Not to delete social links, but to change them. P3 was the turning point as you said, and P4 was the height of social links and interaction (and one of the main themes of the game). So change is good, if it fits the new themes of P5. ... And if it allows me to romance the orange-haired girl, ofc

50 to go

I've always hoped they would partner up with Waffle some day.

GL, Zero no Tsukaima is a headache to watch at times, especially cuz Saito is one giant baka inu.

I hope to see himawari and boku ga tenshi in one of those tittles >_> Come on MG get your shit together and release himawari once and for all!!

Welcome, hope you have a great time here. Have a Neko: See you around.

Y'know, after years of playing Code:Realize and thus only listening to a bunch of male VAs, I gotta say it feels sooo wonderful to be back to the holy trinity of female VAs that is Tokyo Babel's heroines. They're really a joyous bunch to listen to ~ ~~ Anyways, I got Raziel's True End in Tokyo Babel Overall I feel this route was just "decent". The further you get along, the less break / SoL / heroine banters you get since shit has to get real and then it's just fight after fight after fight after fight after fight and so by the time Mr. Big Baddy is revealed and Sorami's screaming her eyes out I'm just sitting there yawning and going "God, can this get any more boring?!@#111" But d'aww dat ending ;-; People can give Tokyo Babel flak for the lacking of a dedicated, fleshed-out romance all they want, but sometimes it's the little things that offer so much more oomph #Totally not a sap for this kind of stuff. ~~ Oh yeah, so apparently I did make the right call in my blind playthrough and avoided the Bad End because I'm master tactician. I'll go back and read that right now, since it apparently has the most content of Bad End routes. Then t'will be best girl Sorami time~

An anime always 'deserves' the credit it gets, because the credit it gets is directly proportional to the amount it was enjoyed by it's audience. Clannad affected and even changed A LOT of people on a deep level, and for being able to do that, I think it deserves all the credit it gets. Calling it overrated might be somewhat accurate in terms of its critical value, but in this case, it's just not the whole picture

イカレてる = crazy に決まってんじゃん = に決まってるじゃないですか = of course/for sure/duh/no shit That's all I can really say without context.

No.

I know how much you guys wanna see me without my dank corpse paint on. Not much.
