Try our updated demo, tell us what you think, and consider giving some money to our new Kickstarter if you liked it Chronotopia: Second Skin is a dark rewriting of the fairytale Donkeyskin: princess Kionna lives a peaceful existence in her castle, enjoying her days with her best friend and confidant, Nahima. That is until her father, gone mad since the death of his beloved, decides he should wed the princess instead. Kionna has to find a way to escape from this fate, but how? She doesn’t know it yet, but it’s the beginning of a long nightmare that will take her to the edge of madness. Inspired by a wide range of influences (literature, anime, videogames), Chronotopia is a unique and more mature take on a forgotten fairytale that includes many twists and choices that affect the ending: the princess can either escape with her servant, become a fairy, or die a horrible death. Multiple times. It’s up to you to save …or doom her.

Koneko-Chan as adorable as always

Well sharin no kuni is a VN with linear plot, you can have different endings and some things will change here and there depending on your choices (most of the time H-scenes ) but overall it's an straight line/path story. I love those types of VNs (and kinetic!) because the story is most of the time more coherent and better developed rather than when you have 6 girls and the main character suffers from dissociative identity disorder, he acts in some way with girl A and total different with girl B and so on, still him being the same fucking person (this doesnt happen in all vns but in most of them it does..) or some girls you just know that they are filler just to add extra hours because their routes are so bland and cliched...

http://fuwanovel.net/reviews/2016/07/22/the-labyrinth-of-grisaia/ Hay guys! After way too much delay, I finally got this one out the door. Special thanks to flutterz as always for editing it. I snuck that paragraph on the nature of the cut Steam version at the last minute because it seems like there are still a lot of questions swirling around that aspect. In short: The steam version definitely feels like a complete game.

It's my first time posting in the community forum threads so an introduction seemed appropriate. (◍＞◡＜◍) Hi! My name is Mayline (pronounced like Meiling) and I recently graduated from college with a major in Psychology. I love almost anything involving strawberries and shoujo with magical and/or hard-working, determined girls. My favorite shoujo series include Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, Cardcaptor Sakura, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Kimi ni Todoke, Ouran High School Host Club, Sailor Moon, Special A, and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. I especially love the tokidoki character, Stellina the Unicorno! Every now and then, I enjoy making paper stars. I also love to play video games, mainly role-playing (e.g. The Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Okami, and Odin Sphere)! The absolute favorite thing in the world to me however is being helpful to others, but also to myself first and foremost! That`s about it, so nice to meet you! (*≧∀≦*)/ I look forward to being a member of the Fuwanovel Forums community. Important Note: While I majored in Psychology, that doesn't mean I remember everything and am pursuing a career in the field. I'm just saying. XD

The situation is as follows: Da Capo is bad. Painfully so. General consensus says that Kotori is the only worthwhile route in it (excluding D.C.P.C and Nosebleed being a Miharu fanboy) Da Capo 2 is actually really solid. The only drop is Koko's route, because it's utter trash, but everything else is at least okay. So most people recommend just reading D.C 2 right away, but I enjoyed it a lot more after suffering through one route of Da Capo 1, because there are quite a few tie-ins between the two titles. - - - - - - - - - - Texas Advdice: Read the improved version of Kotori's route from the Kotori Fandisk and afterwards, go to Da Capo 2. That's the best of both worlds and more than enough to understand everything.

Thank you for answer my question and I'm really looking forward to Da Capo 3 come out

I had a similar first impression about the... exaggerated flamboyance of the new cast and setting. DR was always a bit wacky in its own right, but DR2 takes it to a whole 'nother level. They eventually grew on me though, to the point I considered DR2 > DR1. We'll see how it goes for you though BTW, Who's best girl so far for ya? ~~ Rin has the potential to be my most favorite VN tsun tsun of all time; if you think about it, she's a glorified Louise: is a mage, has a waaay better familiar, sassier, and is in an appropriate setting/environment for having such traits... Too bad she doesn't have pink hair I especially enjoyed her last minute pep talk in Fate's route (though, pls don't give me any more heart attacks ._.)

Hello there, I'm Helia/Helianthus and, as you would probably guess, I'm a big fan of visual novel (and anime) I have rather dififcult tastes though: what I like the most is deep, psychological themes, possibly depressing stuff. That's why some of my favorites are Saya no Uta, Yume Miru Kusuri, Narcissu, Kara no Shoujo and the Infinity series. Especially Remember11 which is very well written. Well, except for the ending (of lack thereof). Needless to say, I'm one of the people waiting for SubaHibi TL since forever Ah and I'm very fond of English visual novel in general. I'm also making my own under the Träumendes Mädchen team since more than four years now. We were hobbyist for a while but we recently decided to make a bold move and become a real company. So I'll be sharing our first commercial project soon if you don't mind. Beware though, we do make pretty unique stuff...

The kitsune vibe is pretty strong there. Probably intentional.

Mob mentality. And to coin that famous philosopher, Terry Pratchett - "the IQ of a mob is the IQ of its most stupid member divided by the number of mobsters"

its a been a while so ....yeah.

I love it! It picked up right where the main series ended. (◍＞◡＜◍)

Well then i really enjoyed the story , even some plot twist i could predict would happen , the write somehow was still able to surprise me , i love the art , it looked like a misture of the italian renaissance art (http://italianrenaissanceresources.com/wp-content/themes/nga/images/home-unit-1.jpg) with your average anime style art , the ost was...,well it was so good that i cant even begin to describe so instead i just put some of my favorites ones here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeOUQYNoOPI&index=10&list=PL1cFLEd7jERztNiN43JVOSP_kEzJaFlWn , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATMCU3i6-1c&index=23&list=PL1cFLEd7jERztNiN43JVOSP_kEzJaFlWn , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phboVbQawV4&list=PL1cFLEd7jERztNiN43JVOSP_kEzJaFlWn&index=29 ) , well as you can see i almost liked everything there was to like , the only problem was that rarely i would find some grammar errors in the text , that was the only reason i did not give it a 10/10 ps: i do not have a VNDB account , the reason is that i never believe it would be most of use to me , since i would only have one to be able to know all the visual novels that i read , but since i write all the visual novels that i read in a notebook that i have , i never had that problem. Thank you for reading this.

"Frightening" is correct. I was shocked whenever she pulled one of her stunts - and I'm not easily shocked. I also agree about Nekoko's delirium. Her drug-trips seemed like so much fun at first, her pretending to be a fairy Such a fascinating creature.

Oh well, more for me

http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=54366&from_sid=1803845140 I do have a weakness for bright, vibrant colors.

I'm glad to see it made a strong impact on you like it did to me! It really was a beautiful VN.

I know that a lot of VN fans get pissy whenever they're told that VNs are not games, like it's an insult upon their honor. Personally, I couldn't care less, seeing as I'm not a hardcore VN fan myself. Personally though, I don't treat most of them as games. I know some VNs have gameplay in them, but I grew up with the notion that a game is something you could play, not the archaic definition of "something that provides amusement". Considering that the reading and clicking part of VNs are what VNs are about, and VNDB openly dismisses any titles without either of those elements (Madoka Magica PSP is not a VN according to them), I don't see why the selective amount of VNs with gameplay in them would make up the meaning of what a visual novel is. In other words, if a visual novel that sacrifices the VN elements for gameplay isn't a visual novel anymore according to VNDB, then why would a game that sacrifices gameplay for visual novel elements be considered a game? It's the same logic. In short, visual novels are not games, according to VNDB - or at the very least, VNs that lack gameplay shouldn't be considered games by gaming websites, just like how VNDB doesn't consider VNs without VN elements to be VNs, even when they obviously look like VNs in parts (Madoka PSP and Digimon Adventure PSP). And even if we go by that other definition about how games are things that provide amusement, I don't gain much amusement from reading (I hate books with no pictures), so that definition wouldn't fly for me anyway. In the end, it all comes down to semantics and which definition you prefer to use. It's an exhausting conversation with no point to it except to defend your ego, to prove that you're in the right and the other guy who disagrees with you is wrong. I think the part about all this that I'm more bothered by isn't technically whether if I should call VNs a "game" or not, but whether if I am playing a VN or reading it. To me, saying that I'm 'playing' a visual novel makes no sense to me because the syntax of that word used in this context just feels inappropriate. Again, this goes back to my familiarity with the more modern usage of the word, "play", as opposed to "engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose." Personally, regardless of what the dictionary says, a good game has to be more than just clicking and reading. So even if you call VNs games, they aren't very good games to me, albeit being good reading materials. Unless I actively have a big role in the storytelling through the selection of dialogue choices, I don't consider myself as 'playing' anything, merely being an observer to a story unfolding. I might as well be reading a book. And you wouldn't say, "I'm playing Neil Gaiman's American Gods", would you?

While I really enjoyed Sharin and it's FD I was never a fan of the way they did the routes, interesting as it may be I still couldn't find it in myself to like it more than the regular way in which most vn's do their routes. It's linear nature also doesn't help it, I like the feeling I get when I'm playing a different story in each route.

Just purchase a japan rail pass.

You don't need logic to hate. I can hate on SP whenever I want, wherever I want. You are free to white knight them too if you want. I just don't agree with how they treat their veteran fanbase. No facts or convincing will ever make me love/appreciate what they do. It's more fruitful to learn Japanese than spamming Sekai's twitter to plead them of translating something. Your voice falls on deaf ears.

This? https://sif.kirara.ca/setlist

dude, i thought the same thing as well.

Welcome! I've got to ask, have you seen Akatsuki no Yona? Yona is my all-time favorite hard-working, determined heroine.

Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! Do you have a favourite VN? Have a moe:

Yeah i really like this gif, so adorable. I reckon some people would smile when they see the greeting so i use it a lot . I haven't even watched the anime yet, should probably check it out.

Thanks! Maki's super cute. (⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

hello, pikopika! nice to meet you! i hope you enjoy it here on fuwa! \ /

Welcome to Fuwa!

It's certainly an interesting way of doing it, and I wouldn't mind having more VNs do the same, but at the same time the whole "different stories in different routes" thing is part of what makes VNs stand out IMO.

I have played the original game in Japanese, and then the new English censored version. The amount of censorship is quite high. Take it from someone who has played both.

If memory serves, Nutaku is a Canadian-based operation - and considering that countrys' draconian laws - I suspect it would be a business venture with heavy-handed restrictions on content. I do like the concept of a "steam for adult games" however. Just needs to be handled by a company in a position to act freely (or moreso, at least)

Weebo is a character(a little yellow robot) from a Disney movie called Flubber.

VNs are ＤＩＧＩＴＡＬ　ＳＰＯＲＴＳ

not enough traps. jk. im not a yaoi fan (dont point out the obvious) and i probably wont play this but i wish you the best of luck on this project. the artwork for the character sprites look pretty good.

There once was a guy named mitchhamilton He wrote a nice post about Fuwadom And how a guy named Tay Liked what he had to say And dropped a nice like on his post. Elsewhere Tay was feeling undone Because working on the site was not much fun Then along came poem Which really did show 'em And left him smiling the most.

Vanilla being Vanilla And then there's Miyako being Miyako, great as always as well

ok, another. THe waifu bartending game.

And that'll be the 1st trap yaoi I ever decide to read. Like the old saying goes...

I have finished the main engine for the game that will allow me to write the game as a script. I have decided to use the full screen instead of a screen within a screen like I previously thought I would do. I find a full screen image more immersive. I have started work on the beginning of the game. I will make a version available within a few weeks (I hope) that will allow you to see how the game will look and play. It will be very short but I want to get feedback as soon as possible so the game can evolve in a good direction while I work on it. Here is an image of one of the first scenes: Website

Kimi e okuru, sora no hana. Wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I started it. In just kinda picked it up because Matsuri looked hot, not even kidding It ended up becoming one of my favorite VNs of all time. It was so beautiful, I still go back re-playing a scene here and there, just because I enjoyed it so much. It also introdouced me to my all time favorite waifu, An.
