So real quick let me make a fool of myself. The story begins in my Kindergarten class, which had like 24 kids in it, it was a Monday (I know this because my Grandmother always took me to school on Monday) Anyway it was a Monday, but it was a special Monday! The teacher, or should I say "teachers" (since we actually had two) had made and brought cupcakes (for those who could have them) and muffins (for those that couldn't) Anyway so I, being the socially weird child that I was, came up with this childish reasoning for cupcakes and muffins. So little me sitting there in his little chair thinking he had just solved every mystery ever, jumps up and hushes the other students. For some reason I got really into it and I spoke in a hushed voice, "I understand these snacks now," Little me whispered, "Muffins are bigger and tougher and they tend to suck, kind of like boys?" Kids laughed but I continued, "And cupcakes are generally smaller, sweeter, and they can be cute, sort of like girls?" By now everyone was rolling on the floor and little me stood there looking smug and all that. Anyway after all that time my friends always remembered what had happened that day and the nickname McMuffin came into play, eventually it evolved into StuffiMcMuffinz and it stuck. Anyway sorry for the story it just felt right you know? To wrap it up quickly before I drone on like the old man I am, Hi I'm McMuffin, StuffiMcMuffinz, Muffin, or just whatever you decide to call me, Nice to become a part of a community built on something that brings me joy.

“...A world is supported by four things...the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these are as nothing without a ruler who knows the art of ruling.” - Frank Herbert When your brother, the King, is killed in an ongoing war with the neighboring country of Tawar, you are named next in line for the throne. No one said wearing a crown would be easy, however. It will take all of your charm, cunning, and strength as a ruler to keep it. There is also the small matter of your suitors... ... An elegant former tutor who seems a little too determined to hold you at arms length, a tempestuous lord whose bid for your hand could decide the fate of the kingdom, and even a surprisingly witty ambassador from the very country you are at war with... Settle the conflict in your kingdom and decide who - if anyone - will be at your side when it ends. Play the official Queen's Crown demo HERE.

Are you kidding me? It's so boring that i actually fell asleep after the first hour. Princess Evangel is a lot more better in every aspect including characters. The only good thing about NW is beautifull art and original sprite behavior.

I had written a long and interesting (and fairly in-depth) introduction of myself and the studio of indie developers that I founded, but when I tried to post it, I got an error. The site wouldn't let me backtrack to where the text was written and I had not been smart enough to copy it before clicking to submit the topic. So all of that is now lost and I am sad. Too sad to type it all out again. So instead, you will get a short version. I am Eiliya, of Eternals Developing. We are a small studio who focus mainly on producing erotic games. I am 32 years old, currently studying game planning and development in Tokyo and I have a fairly long history with visual novels that start with the early Rance games from Alicesoft, back in the early 1990s. I have played too many games for me to keep track of them, but some of the big titles include Fate Stay Night and Tsukihime, Higurashi and Umineko, the Muv-Luv series, almost all games from Alicesoft, Eushully and Softhouse Chara, as well as all the nostalgic games from the Asenheim Project. That's it for now, nice to meet you all and hope to get a splendid experience here in the community. If you have any questions, feel free to ask either here in the thread or in a private message and I will do my best to get back to you. If you have any questions regarding Eternals Developing and the projects we are working on, I would ask that you visit the thread I plan to make in the original VN section of the forum in the near future. Thank you for your time, and have a good day. //Eiliya

Well, it was a half-size one for a start, plus I got it from a catalogue (it was my 6th birthday, so I think my parents wanted to just get me something to see if I'd stick it). Still, you should probably, if you don't wanna pay for a Yamaha (which aren't too bad but I don't know your financial situation), be able to pick one up for ~$70-80 that'll be fit enough for purpose, I'd have thought

What an intro! Hope you enjoy yourself here

My biggest pieces of advice I can give you with the guitar are be prepared for it to hurt, possibly a fair bit. When you try basic chords you'll find your fingers having to stretch in ways that aren't familiar, so your fingers will either ache like crazy or just not do it. Persevere with it, it gets easier! Additionally, the strings will likely chew up your fingertips to start with (which is one of the reasons it's best to start of with a nylon-stringed or classical guitar, as opposed to a steel-string one), but again stick with it, as harder skin will form on your fingertips. Another benefit of classical/nylon-string is it requires you to fret properly, which is useful when you're starting out. It's easier to fudge it when you move into the electric world. When you fret the strings, try to do with more with the tip of your finger than your pad. This will, once the strength builds up in your fingers, help you to push down the string better and cleaner, and doesn't mute the other strings. If you've got any more questions then feel free to ask, I'll only be too happy to help

...daft question, but what's the difference between a cupcake and a muffin? I thought they both contained allergenic ingredients. Always good to have a cool nickname like that though Hope to see you about! Which VNs have you read?

Quite an interesting background you have Anyways, welcome to Fuwa Hope to see you around

It's a hard question to answer, or at least to pick one of the choices. The professional work like MG is actually just getting the Japanese image from before they censored it. Sometimes they are great and sometimes they made something, which was really quick because it would be censored anyway. I think my answer would be that I prefer good looking uncensored/decensored from whoever can do it best. However there are horrible artworks out there where it's valid to argue for censoring it to hide the awfulness. In other words all the options in the pool could be the best as the answer depends on the specific VN/artwork. Also if we go into this, we would also have to consider that just like there are multiple uncensored versions, there are multiple ways to censor images. Suddenly this rather simple question becomes quite complex to answer.

@pual - Interesting situation you have there ... I am actually on Windows 7 too 64-bit and I didn't have any problems of that sort while playing My Sex Slave is a Classmate ... Though I can tell you that the VN isn't worth it, even as a nukige it sucks terribly, I have unlocked all the routes and didn't find any real value in this VN ...

In the last few months I'm finishing 'open' vns. I finished Kikokugai, I finally srugled to the end of Grisaia, I loathed every minute that was in Killer QUeen, and I'm moving on my last 3 titles. I'm reading all 3 of them at once, and I plan to finish them by the end of the week. Then I'll be finally free to start Ever17. In last few days: * I read a lot through it, and I'm right now in the last chapter of great FataMorgana. I closed it just after obtaining the first key. Love this VN. Leaving the rest of this final chapter for one, long session on friday. * Finished Love (filler) and Steel (good, but not great as Heaven/Sky) Sagas in Dengeki Stryker. And overall it's a great vn, Clie is a great new character that appeared in 'Cho' version. I want to see more of her, and her interactions with Yamato and Sayaka. Both she and Yuuki are the same 'blockheaded, ultra noble' characters and their interactions are glorious. It's rariety to see this trope done right, but Dengeki Stryker really succeded on this field. * Period. And after first few (Aoi [especially her!], Mizuhara, and even Myiu) routes I came acros tragically bad Asahi route, with good idea but so convoluted and chaotic execution, that it was just painfull to read. To add insult to the injury, Asahi is tsunderish piece of shit, and protag here is especially big pussy. For next route I choose blond student council president. And...ugh. At start it's focused on Rin, annoying tsunderish little kid. But blond one is bossy bitch as well, and here protag is even bigger pussy than in Asahis' route. It's painfull. It's terrible. If this would be about protag who is just 'pure hearted' and 'kind' and it's tossed around by mean (in my eyes, but they probably are not that, as far as they know...) people, I could sympathize with him. But he is not. He is just a regular normal guy, who doesn't like being tossed around. But he is doing nothing about it and just going 'with the flow', not even being angry on himself to being unable to doing nothing about his situation. [that could be probably a good drama, inner problems of person who can't stand up to others. Guy who hate his situation, but it's to, let's say 'shy', to do anything]. The worst thing abouth protag here are his thoughts. Let's imagine a situation. Girl is doing mean shit, is making noise, a lot of commotion, muddle, mess and creating chaos in protags' life. But the only thing she wants, is to obtain an 'Object A'. And finally, after long long hour(s) of reading, after she made all this ruckus, she finally gets this Object, she's happy. Protag is confunded, tired, sad, frustrated. And then comes a dialogue: Protag: That's what you wanted to obtain form the start? Girl: Isn't that obvious you baka? Protag: So why didn't you just ask me for it? I would gladly give it to you, you fiend! But that last line he says only in his mind, saying aloud only: '...' And then girls just frowns at him, for acting like an idiot. This is so frustrating for me as a reader. It's basically a mark of terrible protag. Seen this in almost every charage. Especially with high on moe/fluff. I hate that. [but somehow it's not tunning down my newly found hype for Kanon... I know I will suffer, but oh well. Isn't suffering what a 'life' is anyway?] Meh. My thoughts came out as chaotic as Asahi route. I'll write proper 'opinion/review' when I finish this, but for now I ceased to like this vn. :< It's sad because I have still quite a lot of it to read, much more than Fata and Dengeki. Combined. But keep your fingers crossed, I really need to finish them all, before I will start E17. ^^

I regret nothing

Not getting a single girlfriend in the past 20 years of my life (I'm 20)

I'm currently playing Cute Demon Crashers. It's been intriguing me for some time, being the only game I've ever heard of that qualifies as both otome and nukige, and there's something very refreshing about an obviously sex-centered VN (no romance at all) with a female target audience. The H-scenes have a very strong focus on foreplay, and with every new act of said foreplay you can choose to continue, skip said act or stop the scene altogether. The game puts a very strong emphasis on consent and feeling safe in in intimacy Obviously, The protag is completely self-insert and the characters, plot etc. are very, very underdeveloped and downright cheesy, but that should already be obvious from the nukige tag. The overall charm and polish more than make up for it for me. It's worth a try at least, considering the price tag of nada. My only real problem so far is that as a result of all the focus on consent, the demons don't feel like demons AT ALL. Mirari and Kael especially, they feel more like hippies than anything else. H hides the UI. You're welcome. vndb

NW is a good charamoege. Yuzusoft in general make yummy charamoeges, too bad I got tired of full length ones and can only read shortass moeges like Nekopara nowadays, its just too boring to slog through normalities and fluffities for dem cute 2d grills

Here you go: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60681258/Hatsuyuki Sakura translation tools.zip Extract into the game's main folder Run unpackscene.bat Edit the .txt files in the Scene folder, making sure they stay encoded in UTF16LE Run packscene.bat (faster) or packscene-compressed.bat (smaller Scene.pck) Launch game The game's images are in the "g00" folder and can be converted to and from .png using vaconv-cpp.exe.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Or should I say ¯\_(き)_/¯

ツ, シ, ソ, and ン would like a word with you

God dammit. I knew the day would come. I'd get to three thousand posts and I'd have bugger all to say. That means I need to come up with something. That does, unfortunately, also mean that effort on my part will be required; effort which I'm simply not willing to contribute. So here's the deal. You come up with something for me to do. Perhaps you'd be interested on my thoughts on a particular topic? Perhaps you'd like me to read something for you?* Perhaps you'd like me to send money your way? Yeah sure, I'd like a lot of things too. You can ask; nothing wrong with that. I'll just laugh at your request if I deem it stupid; or unnecessary, or useless, or strange, or something of the sort. Additionally, free of charge, you can ask for a "love-filled" PM which I'll absolutely send your way. It'll thenceforward be used to harass you whenever the mood strikes. *If you want a free sample of what to expect, the video******* below has me reading this very post. http://picosong.com/zLYL/ *******Not a video.
