It was probably going to be about a 10 dollar difference. And considering you can download the CG gallery from the net for FREE, it’s a pretty decent deal. Yep, the CG gallery and sound mode aren’t worth 10 bucks, and that’s what made the cheap deal a GOOD deal. It wasn’t the deluxe version being ramped up in price, but rather the developers offering a cheaper version at a steal. Eliminating the cheap option wouldn’t reduce the price of the deluxe (NORMAL) version, that’s what people couldn’t wrap their thick heads around. Eliminating the cheap option would just force people to buy the more expensive option. People were crying out about paying extra for content already in the game. Now it’s revealed they were never being asked to pay extra at all. It was a baseless assumption. The developers were arbitrarily making a cheaper version of the game by locking content so they could bring in new customers. That’s a standard practice in the software world. The idea of campaigning on ‘precedent’ is a young person’s crusade, I judge on what’s before me. It may even push the price up. Because they can no longer count on dragging in casual consumers (outside the VN landscape) at a reduced price, they may have contemplated putting up the price of the normal version to compensate for the lower sale numbers. See, this is why we can't have nice things. Also the situation is absolutely delicious. To complain about the cheap version locking existing content, then when it's eradicated for people to complain about the price, it's all too much. I love this. I need more popcorn!

And I need you guys to help me judge the first chapter . Now hold on a second .Before you see this as a pain in the ass to do and skip it for something more fun ,I'm begging you here .I'm not asking for any comprehensive summary of how you found it .If i can't get your attention in the first few paragraphs then that's my fault .If you do read it to the end just tell me what you like/dislike most . Now without further ado...... Oh the name of the book is :The Modern Day Legend Of Gideon . I've also posted it on scribd so here you go https://www.scribd.com/document/330163020/The-Modern-Day-Legend-of-Gideon-6 .It goes all the way to chapter 6.

If you want me to make you a signature by any chance fill out this form: Size: if you don't have one tell me a shape you liked it to be like or for me to choose. Render: If you don't have one say a character Background: don't have it say a scenary or if you don't want a background tell me and I will do what I did with the signature under and used special effects V Text: If you don't want any leave it blank. Font: you can pick any from dafont.com or simply specify a style I am doing this to practice My new signature :3 Accidentally made the size too big since I didn't know users don't get the same size as mods so here is another version with a border I didn't decide to use:

That's the biggest BS ever, being called a derailer by the biggest one out there Now onto the main topic, welcome to Fuwa I hope you have a great time here. It's nice to mee you and hope to see you around.

You have consistently failed to understand what I am trying to say. I don't want to argue about this. I only want the author to improve. So I'll explain it once more for you and never again. I am not advocating longwinded explanations and introductions out of nowhere. I am not advocating that every term be thoroughly explained immediately after it is used. I am merely saying that dumping six different names and/or terms on the reader in the same paragraph and not giving any auxiliary information is bad exposition. But I've probably already antagonized you to the point where you won't listen to me anymore, so here's a video explaining the concept of the dreaded infodump for me: (skip to 5:40)

You forgot @mitchhamilton as well. He derails threads a lot as well. Also, if anybody has any right to call us out on it, it's shouldn't be a spamper like you. Back in topic, welcome to the forums. I hope to see you around.

Thanks, guys. My life is still kind of a mess, but I'm getting there. The medication I'm taking for anxiety is having an effect so far, but I still have nervous breakdowns on occasion. I'm watching anime again and thinking about dropping Runescape for another year till I get things together. I can't ever seem to get anything done when I'm gaming competitively.

I use to think the way you do, but it makes zero sense from a business prospective. The only vns that are guaranteed to have a following in the west are obviously the ones that are already translated. Do you honestly think that a relatively unknown vn would make the same money as MuvLuv or Grisaia on kickstarter? Granted many would probably succeed, but why take that risk when you have a guaranteed payday with a larger title. There are obviously some other factors that you should consider the successes of these kickstarters can influence what future projects are localized. VN companies may use them to gauge the level of interest the west has for visual novels in general. For example, due to the massive success of the MuvLuv kickstarter it has been strongly hinted that other titles such as Schwarzesmarken will be localized in the future.

I would want to say yes... but definitely not I'm still hiding the fact that I'm playing these Chinese porn cartoons from everyone, except for one of my friends Maybe one day

The day I see some VN Club at some skoo is the day Tay reveals himself to be Okami.

*facepalms internally and externally* I'm pretty sure that's the worst thing you could have done...

Can confirm anime conventions are a decent place to talk about VNs, although even there most of the people won't know what you're talking about, or often will have certain preconceptions about "porn games". Additionally, MangaGamer representatives, if present on the show floor, will do their best to reinforce the aforementioned preconceptions.

Confession: I am still alive but I have like 18 days left for exams which are 23 days long..... And I wanted to say that I got a gf huehuehuehue On a more serious note: it felt really sad when I wanted to check this thread over and over again and didn't have time to even open fuwa in my usual time aka before I sleep ;_; With time, I ended up just barely finishing what I have to do then collapse from fatigue. I hope you guys are doing okay ^^

Bill Murray and Nohman.

Nice to finally talk to you all! I'm ready to have a bad time... whoops, sorry, habit of mine... I'm ready to have a good time in this community! So, I've been a fan of japanese stuff for what, about 3 years now? I'm always thorough with my hobbies, so I've spent about 2 of those years trying to learn japanese like crazy I think I'm pretty average now? I can read moeges without ITH help, though I avoid them because I get bored pretty easily if there's no thrill. My first VN was Umineko, and it is still one of my favorites, tied with Totono. And I'm currently reading Oretsuba. LN is still my favorite format, though. I'm currently reading the 8th volume of パパ聞き. And the japanese stuff is just one of my maany interests. I'm also a gamer, since I was a little chubby prick. I also watch many Western TV series, e.g. TWD, The Big Bang Theory, PLL (little sister introduced this to me, most of the fanbase is composed of teenage girls, but it's pretty good.) And if you couldn't tell already, I'm a huuuuuge sucker for Undertale! Now, I will spare you of my absolute love story for this game, I'm sure you've got better things to do That's about it, I guess? I wanted to say more stuff, but I forgot what I wanted to put in. Anyway, I hope I can get along with everyone, and I hope it doesn't take me too long to absorb all the inside jokes...

Well, no, they won't spend a ton of money on a "decent marketing campaign" if they can't expect to earn that money back. That would just be stupid. If they could expect to make that money back, then I'm sure they would happily do it, who doesn't like more money? But are you suggesting that they should just throw money in the garbage because they can? I'm sure the backers would like it more if they spent that money on something more tangible, or at least not on a potential boondoggle like a marketing campaign. They'll probably pay for a few banners ads here and there and produce a promotional trailer or two. I'm not sure how much more you're expecting. Although I get the feeling that you are underestimating the costs of literally everything involved here. Reward fulfillment is surprisingly expensive. This is the one thing that shocks most indie devs who use kickstarter. They plan out and budget for reward fulfillment and then suddenly it's literally twice as much as they expect and is the biggest cost in their entire KS. I have seen this happen enough times to be convinced that most of that extra $400k will actually be spent on reward fulfillment and they won't have much left over at all. They also upped the scale of retranslation considerably from when they originally budgeted the kickstarter, increasing their localization costs by a large amount. Before, you get the sense that it was just going to be a dude or two breezing through the scripts before giving them the okay, and now it's a very extensive process involving many people.

That was you ustreaming them? Thank you, it's really nice to actually be able to watch them instead of just reading summaries.

We will be fine if you won't be like a Undertale fan like ''ALDKASKLJFDKLDFJ UNDERTALE HOW CUD U SAY IS BAD BITTCH BITCH FUCK FUCK FUCK U KILL URSELF''

Played since CBT (Closed Beta Testing) Fairly fun in many aspects. (I don't regret going into CBT with Yuubari purchased haha) You can register for any server/region to be quite honest. It just depends on your preference of choice. I have both an NA account (Pretty much my main account since CBT) and my SEA account (Created this account recently to play with friends who reside in SEA regions)* The difference I can see from these two is that the NA region tends to focus more on different events and rewards, while SEA has different events (mostly ARP Collab Events from what I remembered) and rewards. Whie EU is mostly updated with events and premium content/ships first before the other servers. It's up to you on what server you feel like playing on. Good Luck and Fair Seas Captain! *Please note that I have created 2 separate installation folders since there seems to be a conflict of trying to install one region client with another. I would suggest if you intend to play on more than 2 regions, create separate installation folders won't conflict with each other (Example: NA: World Of Warships NA, SEA: World Of Warships SEA, EU: World of Warships EU) That's what I found best for me. However, If you don't feel like you want to install the game again 3 times just so you can play on different regions, try looking on the WoWS forums.

Hello Sanzy! It's always good seeing new faces around here, since this community is pretty niche. I'm actually a fan of undertale too (not as much as you, though) and I remember that in order to beat Sans I spent more than 6 hours in front of the screen for two days ragequitting the game several times. Let me ask you a question, since I do it a lot: Are you interested in translating or being part of the Fan Translation community in the future? Anyways, nice to meet you and see ya around. Oh, and have this picture I just found, its badass.

Well, if all goes well I'll post videos of the panels like I did last year. Hope you can handle my shaky camera skills.

HOLY FUCK HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKING FUCK I'M THE FIRST IN THE TERM FOR ENGLISH IN THE SECOND SEMESTED I DID IT I ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING IN ACADEMICS

Come to mine there is yuri waiting for you choose the ghost side I could make one in my fapanese uni but too lazy + sickness so welp More seriously, it depend of the importance of the VN "market" (which isn't really a market outside Japan but I used "" so it's okay, right? ). Also I think it's the other way around, given few enlighted human found the worth in VNs manage to create a solid group/association, sooner or later it will draw attention and other human may recive the enlightenment, and once they grow enough a new group as solid as the first will be born, which in turn will enlight other human, spreading the VNs teaching faster and faster, always faster, never stopping, never ending, always growing, like a snowball rolling down a bottomless snowy pit. Also to answer the question it seems that there is one here, in France (namely KawaSoft)

Welcome aboard SS Fuwanovel! You should totally swing by the chat sometime, where we chat about bullshit, ded chat, and occasionally actually talk about visual novels. I've had Pretty Little Liars recommended to me before, but I'm waaaaaaay too lazy to catch up on it. (Too lazy to watch TV. This world, eh.)

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too! Yay, thread derailers! I can finally use this: And thanks for the pic! I tend to like lolis more than plot stuff. Hi, nice to meet you! Hmm, not yet, I keep my backlogs on .txt files like a true noob I might make one someday! Nice to meet you, see you around! Nice to meet you, see you around!

Another new user here, so here's another cliche word "Welcome to Fuwanovel, and hope you enjoy your stay here". For inside joke, I think you'll probably knew about salt thing in short time if you keep browsing here. I didn't watch many western TV series though, but I knew Umineko VN at least. Also hope we could get along here too.

Welcome! Hope to see you around. Do you have a VNDB and/or a MAL page to link to your profile?

You'll get used to the inside jokes soon enough Just keep calm and I don't derail threads, that's all on you three I also like the Big Bang Theory, by the by

Can I get in on this?

Hey, welcome! Nice to meet you! Hmm, you'll have to deal with some inside jokes from time to time. Look out for @VirginSmasher, @DarkZedge and @Arcadeotic. They tend to derail threads, completely without my influence. Erhem. Anyways, here have a picture of the best girl:

True, they're all adaptations of Stephen King novels I hope cos otherwise I look a righ tit Next person likes the smell of lavender.

quite easy, it is really straightforward

why would you even ask, of course you should read it.

表れ is like a manifestation, a symptom in which a normally hidden property shows itself. 「あっ、ほんとだ！　なに、親しみの表れってやつ？」 Ah, you're right! Would you call that, a sign of their closeness?

This is like "There's no such thing as paper."/"There's no way there'd be something like paper." The なんか is strengthening the statement compared to かみがない Same here While grammatically the たりする does mean "do things like this and that", when people use it in the negative, especially with just a single action, it's main function is as a strengthener: "I won't do something like sell myself" (note the strong, emotional tone) For the pun maybe you could go: "Paper, it doesn't exist." (God, he doesn't exist.) Nowhere. Basically like a TL note without actually saying "TL note" Not really related, but man what's with the forums having huge spacing between lines?

Happy birthday john, have a great day!

Is it the Nep invasion all over again? The avatar's still cute though, 7.5/10

Happy Birthday @john 'mr. customer' smith Haven't really interacted with you, but for what it's worth, I think you're an interesting fellow Have a good one

If things go according to Clannad, you'll end up happily ever after with her twin sister.

Tay, or should I say Aaeru, or should I say SolidBatman, or should I say Nayleen, or should I say Okami ... that Tay? Wow, I wouldn't be surprised if he's half the forum in disguise at this rate ...

Well, TI 2016 battle pass is out.... http://www.dota2.com/international/battlepass Look at all of these Hats..... I have to say the terrain is gorgeous looking though. Especially the Immortal Gardens. My eyes are very pleased....

Happy birthday @john 'mr. customer' smith, I've seen you a couple of times in chat and another couple in threads, but I can tell you're a nice guy. Have a nice day

Those are commonly refered to as ukagaka, or desktop agents. You can read more about them here. I guess SSP is still the most popular engine out there.

It started as a porn game genre and still is a porn game genre with some games with just less porn and some odd ones without porn at all. Also love how you say that EVERY eroge artist doesn't give a shit what's behind the mosaics when some certainly do like Hamashima Shigeo. (Clock Up aritist)

you dont get to decide what is art and whats not.

Ever since I was a kid, I've always associated the word trick with a colored oval. Very inexplicable.

From what I've seen, you can either do a TL note or make up your own pun :). For the lines at the bottom, it goes along the lines of : Because I value myself, I won't sell myself out for the sake of the world. Also, instead of saying I, myself, am valuable. I would say I value myself.

Guys, pls, I am being serious.

Happy birthday to both @hsmsful and @Monmon. I hope you both have excellent days \ /

Happy Birthday @Monmon and @hsmsful Haven't talked to both of you that much, but hey, whatever Congratz
