Confession: I rekt everyone back to the stone age and got first place in the programming contest today

True endings are normally a thing for plot-focused games, but they're very present in pure romance stories, too. Most of the time, a company won't go out of their way to say "this is the true ending." You just sorta know by which of them is the most complete, reveals the final mysteries of the setting, etc. True endings can be good. They can also be bad. And also bittersweet. That doesn't really affect anything. Sometimes you have true endings being less happy than good endings, sometimes not. It's a story and none of it actually happened, so I think it's pointless to think of the other routes as useless and whatnot. They're there for your entertainment. Same as the true one. It's only actually relevant if they're going to make a sequel. A lot of VNs obviously have a main heroine, where most of the polish went, as well as having the deepest, most relevant routes for the plot. Those are the ones that normally have true endings.

Over two years. wow. a lot has changed in that time. torrents were still a thing and little hanako was peeking her pretty head out while grasping a heart on this page. i originally started here to thank someone for a completely forgettable vn he had posted on here and to post some vns myself. Maman Kyoushitsu ~Mirai no H na Obenkyou~ was my first. cant remember my second. mightve been the sort of expanded da capo vn with new routes and an easier way to know if youre picking the girl you want to hang out with. whoops, getting off topic here. god, does anyone remember when fuwa looked like this? or was even here when it looked like this? for some reason this is the image saved on my tabs in firefox. XD i dont know why but i love that it is. <3 Hanako. <3 you know, i dont know why i stayed after torrents were gone. i think i started to get in a discussion on the princess evangile thread and it just kept going. met some friends along the way, got to know people. it was fun. im glad i did though. i care deeply about this community despite my inactivity here. i dont really know what else to add so ill get started with the mentioning. @Funyarinpa the very first person to message me to ask about a vn. @Dergonu my absolute best friend here who i cherish dearly. @DarkZedge someone who i will always care deeply about, no matter what. <3 @TexasDice who i chatted nonstop on the princess evangile thread. i know we havent talked much lately but i still havent forgotten about you. @Eclipsed same with eclipsed. man those were some fun times. @CeruleanGamer who invited me into her secret cult. i mean... @VirginSmasher who accepted me into his secret cult. i mean... ... im really bad at this. @Deep Blue a pretty great guy. best of luck to you in uni deepy. @Forgetful Frank i miss you so much man. please come back soon. @Kawasumi my partner in crime in traps. TRAPS FOR LIFE! @Flutterz the lovable moe lover... who also likes traps.

I didn't get an emoji on my tag Brb, ending it all

I like a bit of incest, but inbreeding just makes me want to throw up. I might still try it though, thanks.

Oh look, another one I didn't expect this to take so long (almost a year), but I guess I'm just not as much of a shitposter as I thought I was I can't say that I have always agreed with the consensus of this community (if there ever was one) or that I haven't had my fair share of bitter (or indeed salty) aftertastes from some people's posts. And while I can't guarantee that my ever-changing interests won't steer me away from it anytime soon, I have experienced (and learned) some great things, and met some truly awesome people. I have, for example, learned that arguments are flexible and arbitrary things, and that I do not need to hate myself when someone uses them to prove something I emotionally disagree with. And that's not even talking about some of the things I've learned from vns. TL;DR I love you. Yes, you, procrastinating weeaboo, sitting behind your keyboard. You deserve to be happy. Also, something something ask me anything (ANYTHING, I DARE YOU) something something don't really want to do shoutouts something something don't like to exclude anyone Have a nightstand that I made. Sorry it's rotated.

You're very welcome! It's been a very hectic week, but I did manage to get a few new free tracks done. They are: "Unforgiving Himalayas"_Looping "Special Moment"_Looping http://soundimage.org/events/ and "Arcade Fantasy" http://soundimage.org/looping-music/ I hope they are helpful! :-) Eric

The very first choice of the game determines whether you go on Tsugumi/Sora or You/Sara (not counting the true route). Tsugumi and Sora have the same bad ending, so once you choose their route, it is all about affection points. As for You and Sara, there is one choice that leads to another choice to enter Sara's route. If you don't select that choice, you are locked into You's route. TL;DR First choice reduces route to 2 characters. On You/Sara's route, you need to make two choices to go to Sara's route. Otherwise, it defaults to You's route.

Yeah I can see a very cyber punk anime look. Very colorful, pleasing to the eyes.

There is quite a lot to say about Umineko but I don't want to spoil anyone who hasn't played it personally. The writing is superb and the comcept was so deep that it's still making me wrack my brain even after finishing it days ago. I would love to have a discussion with a few others to learn more theories behind it. I do admit I felt a tad unsatisfied as the ending drew near and still even now I feel that way but regardless Umineko is a journey through words that I won't easily forget anytime soon. I ultimately gave it a 8/10.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I'm trying to keep some kind of mix between vaporwave and retro style.

Happy B'day, Tiag + Babiker.

I find the concept to be flawed game design, TBH. The purpose of choices in games or stories is so you can mould your playthrough according to your preferences. The idea of a ‘True Ending’ is contrary to this purpose, and the idea of a ‘True Ending’ which requires you to first go through multiple other routes is often annoying. Mainly because some people may not want to play the same story multiple times, over and over, for the actual ending. If there's a required path for you to take so you can experience the story in it's true form, make the thing a kinetic novel and be done with it. Because the 'choices' serve little purpose. Possible exceptions are Type Moon stuff.

Happy early 20th birthday there, @babiker. Thanks for your Moster Girl Quest review and your video below (Quite interesting that I could see old avatar from Fuwanovel member there). Hope you had good year ahead.

Are you people seriously having a discussion about how bad is Majikoi? The best translated comedy visual novel that actually is fun and sexy? That breakes most of the tropes? With one of the most professional VA out there? With smart and capable MC, likable characters and engaging writing? Sure, it has some flaws but nothing is perfect in this world. And blame top eroge for being... eroge is just unbelievable. Sometimes, I don't understand what people actually expect from japanese adult humour.

All fan translations are illegal. The Berne Convention specifically provides that copyright holders have control over translations. Fan translations exist at the sufferance of the copyright holders, who have the legal authority to go to court to demand that any project be stopped. However, most companies don't know, or don't care, about the patches. And even the ones that do care can't really do much about it, because VN developers are usually poor, and suing people in a foreign country is very expensive and time consuming and a pain in the ass. That's why you hear about translation projects shut down by C&D, but never any actual lawsuits being filed. Fan translations are an ethical grey area, not a legal one. Paying someone to produce a fan-translation is unethical in addition to being illegal (because someone is making money off someone else's work without paying for it or getting permission). It also is significantly more likely to get rightsholders pissed off enough at you to decide they want to try to make an example out of you. As a fantranslator myself, I can tell by how much the OP is offering that they have no idea how much translators charge, or how long it takes. It took me two and a half years to translate Nocturnal Illusion from scratch, and that's a game I'd already played in English multiple times. It isn't even a particularly long game, either. I spent hundreds of hours during that time on the game. $500 might be a lot of money to the OP, but in terms of how much work is involved, it's peanuts. You can motivate translators to work on something they're not particularly fond of. By paying the industry going rate. However, professional translators charge somewhere between ten cents and a dollar per word. (I've never done pro work - not nearly good enough - so I can't quote you real numbers.) Nocturnal Illusion's script is easily 500K characters in Japanese. That's about fifty thousand dollars; a hundred times the original offer. (Now, h-games probably pay somewhat less than the going rate. Still.)

Are you kidding me? If someone paid me 77.000.000$ to translate a VN I have no interest in, I would drop everything I'm currently doing to learn japanese. What are 2-10 years of my life compared to being rich for the rest of it? The problem is that nobody would be insane enough to pay that (or any number close to it).

Thanks for remebering my whinning about this in the discord Alos look at my post count, THAT's what it called being inactive Eh, don't want to hear that from a guro lover

Congrats mitch, you're a great guy don't ever change.

I swear I've only been buying like, 1 LE a month, but already the tower is getting big It's a good thing I went flash sale digital for 90% my other Vita games, getting all the LEs for like, the Neptunia games would've eaten my wallet.

Ok,thanks for the answer... P.S- I must remember to change my wifi password,because i suspect that my neighbors are using... hahahahahaha
