and the 2016 winner of the longest thread title goes to Nier! still need to read one and two but i am looking forward to this.

Hi guys x3 My name is Lucy and i'm new here, will try to be regularly on the forums and on the chat, please take care of me ^^

as someone who was never a BIG fan of tsunderes, i'll give you a 7, just because she's cute and all

@ZodiaX did I I say anything about a game? No, I didn't I sold 15 pieces of personalized software for a customers to personalize there desktop/laptop beyond current free/low-cost programs for about 1000 USD each more or less

@Novel21 Huh, I haven't played it, though I have heard of it. I'm currently playing Togainu no Chi [ saw the anime when I was younger, didn't even realize it was an N+C game until last week! ]. The art style of Break Chance looks interesting, and the plot sounds pretty damned good, too. T____T we're debating on rethinking our core plot with the Company and everything since it's been done so much. But seeing as how it's kind of just the glue that holds each character's story together, it's proving a bit tricky. The main 'element' in our game I guess are the Voidwalkers and the Boundary breaking down. How does the time traveling thing work in BCM, out of curiosity?

I have played many Yaoi games my favorite are this game https://vndb.org/v8195 It's very cool game to play

@Firemonk Oh that's awesome. What's your game called? And yeah, if we do it as an expansion, they'd pay extra. But it would mean we'd have to draw twice the number of CGs, make a whole new character model...the work would definitely be worth it though since it would expand our market two- or three-fold.

@ZodiaX yea it does I would include it but make it something you have to buy/ pay extra for not only would that make it appeal to the male side of the situation but you double your profits, I mean look at me I've made 14,063 EUR in a couple of days, which if I did the math right is exactly 15,000 USD just throwing that's out there

@Firemonk Heh I think so. We've been considering giving the player an option to play as a male or a female, but that would mean twice the amount of work. Maybe as an expansion or something. My personal preferences aside, yaoi works have a pretty big community and following.

Hi there! I couldn't help but notice how excited some of you were, and I wanted to introduce myself! I'm Binary, one of the creators, and the writer / programmer for ZodiaX. To answer some things, as far as Steam goes, we will definitely be applying to get ZodiaX Greenlit by the community there. And as @SaevusVeritas said, Steam did indeed release an 18+ game recently, so there's hope! Also, I'm glad to see you both like our Virgo, Darian so much. -laughs- I personally think his route, as well as Cypher's [ Capricorn ] are going to become my personal favourites. We're hoping to release more sketches / character design concept art in the near future. Our other creator Nox is our amazing artist, but he can be a definitive stickler when it comes to his art. He refuses to let me post anything that doesn't meet his standards, so I'm going to try and nag him into letting me release one of the boys soon. We created a kind of 'saying hello' post in the Dev forums on here [ LINK ], but if you guys have seen our Tumblr there's no new information there, really. Anyway! Thank you guys so much for your support -- it truly means everything to us -- and we hope to make a game that's beyond exceptional, not only for us, but for our fans as well. Please feel free to ask if you've any questions. I'd be more than happy to answer them! -- Binary

Yeah agreed! I know Steam recently released an 18+ game so I'm HOPING they can Greenlight it when the time comes around for its release. I just wonder, since they say the content is pretty mature, if Steam would actively release something like that. I really, reallyyyyy hope so, though! ಥ ◡ ಥ Also omg look how cute this guy is!! I adore the 'best-friend' love interests, and this guy looks super fun and quirky. Guaaahhh I hope they reveal more character designs soon. ❤❤

@Nobody~~ nope too hard I'd rather solve the meaning of life before that

Why stop at twins? Have some quintuplets https://vndb.org/v18147

Thank you again, will ship us togeth- Will talk to you later! <3

Shippai better start creating another account

9.5/10 Shiina is so awesome. (totally biased here)

For i am nobody, everybody will remember me

Yea welcome, once you get around some of the assholes of this community, it's a rather friendly rather non hostile community, I've made my mark as the rather impolite joker with an anger issue... at least I think so.... All of my posts are translated from my native language, Dutch so if I say things weird that's probably why , but enough of my bullshit ranting, good luck in putting a dent in this community, make them remember your name for generations to come, so when it's time to leave they will remember the name... nobody... lol I had too

everything you guys have bought is overrated. NO IM NOT JEALOUS!

well , you surprised me dude x) your sentence is not wrong gramatically or syntax wise , but it's more " faux ,je ne savais pas qu'il existait avant de faire / jusque a ce que je fasse des recherches " "regarde" in this context is wrong ,it mean "look at him " and not "look for him " and nope , i never had sexual intercourse with VR. next person never had sexual intercourse

Change Adventure/Action to something cute. Yes... something cute is a genre...

Nikola Tesla from Ourai no Gahkthun is by far my favorite VN male character lead. He's exactly what I'd want from the stoic/badass character archetype with some witty sarcasm I can appreciate and he's just exhuding charm. Another good male lead would be Akihito from Comyu, who I very much love for how much more down-to-earth he is in comparison to most chuunige protagonists. Now, I've never really cared for anime protagonists unless they're adapted from certain Light Novels or Manga, but I must say that my favorite Light Novel protagonists have to be Ainz Ooal Gown/Momonga from Overlord, and Dantalion from Dungeon Defence. They both share the similarity of being somewhat of normal persons coming from our normal world to a fantasy-setting, though Dantalion's circumstances are a bit different. They're both different than the norm in a way that they just don't even want to go back since they don't have anything special to go back to. The two are also warped in their mindset, though in Ainz's case, it's because of the transformation, but Dantalion was just warped before he came to the new world. They're both intelligent and are that what you'd call "rulers". The way they drive their own goals above all else is quite interesting and entertaining to read. They're both also pretty sadistic and ruthless to everyone, who's not on their side, but show a degree of manners before all of that, which I do enjoy to a immense degree. They're both exceptionally fleshed out characters, and their mindsets, goals, and means of achieving said goals differentiate quited a lot from the norm, and overall, it's quite refreshing to see and read that. They're fantastic

I've played more VNs than many, but not nearly "hundreds". And being restricted to English VNs, means many of the ones I have played are from the dark days of official localizations, when mainly crap yarugee was being localized. Ones that stick out particularly: - Yuka from Crescendo. (I swear, I was going to pick her before I saw two other people in this thread do it. I was into her before she was popular, god damn it! ) - Sora from Ever 17. - Sari from Nocturnal Illusion. (Big surprise, I named someone from a game I liked enough to work on.) She's probably the most memorable of the game's cast, for reasons I won't elaborate on (the game's so old that so few who have played it are still fans that it's come back around to spoiler territory!) - Sei from Koihime Musou. Pretty much everything she does is memorable, and half of it is completely hilarious.

40.2%! (Let's hope Sekai doesn't buy this one out too.)

In the anime, he's full of personality and I find him really likeable, but in the VN, since the player is making all the decisions and since you hardly see his face, he comes off as not having much of a personality, at least to me. I can appreciate most any protagonist with a sprite. If they don't get a sprite, I generally don't think of them much at all. Akihito from Comyu and Gii from Sekien no Inganock were both interesting to me, but probably largely because they had sprites (even though Akihito's wasn't used all the time, by a long shot). I also rather like Daijuuji Kurou from Demonbane... can't remember if he gets a sprite or not (I don't think he does), but they're not shy about showing him in CGs, at least, which is almost as good. When they make the protag faceless even in CGs, I can't help but roll my eyes.

Yuka from Crescendo, OH MY GOD. She was my favorite for ages back in the day when my heart wasn't a black hole of infinite hate and bitterness. Also Riho from DEARDROPS is my absolute favorite right now, but the VN is a bit recent, y'know, relatively. Hmm, who else... Mami from Canvas 2 is genuinely someone I'd absolutely fall for IRL. A girl who has her shit together, gets my shit together and is prone to hilarious fake sarcastic daydreaming (uhh, you pretty much have to read it in order to understand what I'm talking about)? Sold. Tomoko, also from Canvas 2, is great as well. Who else? I used to like Chisato from X-Change 2, Anzu from DC2... Pretty sure there were others from oldey VNs, but I can't remember right now.

Tomoya from Clannad, because he's basically just me. I generally like most male characters in Overdrive games (excluding Edelweiss, because it's the male version of Ikikoi). Lastly, the protagonist from Ayakashibito is easily one of the most believable characters I've ever come across. After finishing the VN, I felt like I had known him for years and wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly appeared on my doorstep.

I really, really want to read Sayonara wo Oshiete. The art looks beautiful, especially for its time, and it's story and themes sound right up my alley. In a similar vein, I would love to read Iwaihime and Fairytail Requiem. I love both 07th and Liarsoft. I already know that Ryukishi is good at that sort of thing and I would absolutely love to read a horror from Liarsoft, which might be my favorite VN producer.

Faux, je ne savais pas qui il était jusqu'à ce que je le regarde ... next person has had sexual intercourse with a coffee mug..... what only me?........just kidding.... yea.... kidding... (sorry my French is a little hazy if it's not completely correct I am sorry.... I'm Dutch not French)

Okabe Rintarou for non-romantic reasons since i'm not related in any way to that idiotic baka. Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa because...he's a better Subaru than Subaru. The protag from Comyu actually, i like to hate him, but his character is quite interesting.

So, I actually read the first few hours of this. It dumps you in right after the events of the first game without explaining anything to you or bothering to introduce the existing characters. And everything that's happening is motivated by or directly related to the events of the first game. Terms like "SERN Rounder" are thrown around and you're expected to know their significance. The only explanations offered are the brief snippets from the in-game encyclopedia which are entirely inadequate for anything other than reminding forgetful fans of the first game. Basically, if you go into S;G0 without playing the first game, you will be completely and utterly baffled by the first few hours. Perhaps as things go on you'll be able to get a handle on what happened in the past and what's happening in the current story, but it's something you'll have to work at piecing together. And it's also something that will hamper your enjoyment of S;G0, while completely spoiling the first game in the process. Again, though, I don't think this is necessarily a negative. On the contrary, often times sequels that try to be new-player-friendly end up losing something by loosening their connection to their predecessors. I think such a strong connection to the previous game can actually be seen as a positive. And for a game review, I don't think something like "a translator giving incorrect information on a message board" should be a factor, but that's more due to my personal review philosophy of trying to review games on their own merits, not taking such outside factors into account.

For me, it really depends on the game and how much I care about the characters' relationships (or, if it's based on self-insert, how much I am attracted to that character). Often, by investment in a given relationship is connected to how it is executed and how it ties into the story. Ever17 had four routes that had romance, and I only cared for the romance in Sora's route, for example- It had some really intriguing themes and executed them in a poignant and thought-provoking way. It was my favorite love story in VNs for a long time. Sora was also beautiful. Two certain characters in Fata Morgana, however, have surpassed Sora and Takeshi's relationship for me. These two characters have an incredibly fleshed out and nuanced relationship that develops in a truly heartfelt way, and ultimately, you end up cheering for the two of them. Will not say much more, but that is half the reason this VN is my VNOTY, GOTY, and in my top 5 VNs. (From a literary perspective, it's only matched by Umineko.) Grisaia's romances in comparison, for example, did nothing for me because pretty much none of the girls clicked with me -nor did their routes except one particular flashback- and it was a banal story if you ask me. Same goes for any sort of romance in Muv-Luv.

Define "pants" - the British use "pants" as Americans use "underwear" and they use "trousers" as we do "pants." So I'll put false and let that sink in. Next person is now traumatized for life.

Welcome, and nice nickname there I suppose. Asf for ef, I knew that it was somr kind of VN which had very good graphic there and romance. Hope you enjoy yourself here and looking forward to your participation here then. Oh, and if you need some VN Reccomendations here just ask us.

Welcome to the community!! Hope you find what you need

I hated Cross+Channel because it felt like a damned endless loop that went nowhere until I cheated and read a walkthrough.

Welcome! Please enjoy your stay.

hello and welcome to the forums! shiina is great. great belief. anyway, hope you like it here and have a great time!

Just bought my first Japanese physical manga. Browsed the fairly limited Japanese section of the comic book store nearby, and decided to go with Akame ga Kill #1. I already own a decent amount of unTLed digital manga, but there is something special about holding the first physical one. It's a pretty great feeling

Oh that game, I have played little bit of it but I didn't enjoy it very much. I really hope ZodiaX Get on Steam in near future, since I would really like to play that VN

Updated first post with Alpha's finished sprite!

The only reason to play VNs is for lonely people to gain a fake interaction with people after their cruelty have driven away all real people from even speaking to them.
