Seeing as how I have not found any threads about this, I suppose I will make it. Here is my source: link. "8/13/16 - This project is alive again due to the game getting a port/remake by the original developers, which means we no longer need to ourselves. Specific progress numbers will be added later." So it has been a couple of months now. This is one of my favorite visual novels (I've even done a blog post about it), and for a long time the translation has been stalled because the original game was just really old and outdated. When I emailed the fan translator a year ago asking about why he stopped, he said that the outdated game made it very difficult to insert translated text. So he needed to wait for a new port of the VN in order for him to continue translating. But somewhat recently the company that made the game made a recent remake of it for modern computers. This is double good news since now you can download an up to date release of the game. The original 2001 release of the game can be a bitch to get installed and fully functioning, so this release is much appreciated. Furthermore, this release has allowed the translation project to continue! Denpa is an interesting genre of visual novels. And Sayonara wo Oshiete is the quint essential representative of that genre, as it was one of the earlier as well as most polished Denpa VNs. Denpa is a genre that is a little difficult to describe, but it is characterized by having an unreliable narrator whose literal view of the world is untrustworthy and distorted. Meaning as a reader, you have no idea what is reality and what isn't. You see lots of weird imagery and are unsure if the MC is crazy, the world is crazy, or both. Its really fun stuff.

So I know this guy right and he's pretty terrible and I hate him with all my little tiny heart he needs to die like right now @Flutterz and @Mr Poltroon will back me up on this 100% they know the pain of dealing with this guy for more than five seconds he's literally cancer... no no no he's worse than cancer maybe he's like Hitler and cancer had a kid and it did 9/11 Thank you for your time <3 If you don't know who this loser is you can find him here: @Shikomizue Sorry Shiko

Guess opinions on that differ, but that doesn't matter. Let's just hope for the best!

It's a shame you're only including translated titles, especially given you didn't put that in the name. VA-11 Hall-A was easily the second-best VN released in the last year that I played, behind S;G 0, and while I haven't played a whole lot of the ones in your tournament, I know it's a heck of a lot better than all of the other VNs I did play on those brackets.

If you wish to hear about this kind of news as it happens, you should follow our VNTS updates! http://fuwanovel.net/category/vnts-all/

Is anywhere aware of the purpose of the "Sexy Swimsuit" item? Edit: I cannot believe we posted the same question simultaneously.

Shikomizue gave me cancer.

I heard he once transplanted a tree into another man's garden.

Just finished Majikoi A-4, up next is A-5, then I guess I'll just have to feel empty inside for a week and get on with my life. First was Rin chong's route, and well, can't say it was particularly groundbreaking or anything, although there was that one moment towards the end when Rin captured Yamato and took him to a cottage in the middle of nowhere, that was pretty surprising. Also, the BGM that played at this moment (Wavelets, I think) was really cool, and I just had to take a smoke break in order to fully understand what had just happened and get my hopes up for the end of the route. Well, I'd be lying if I said I was totally satisfied with the way things turned out, but all in all, that route was pretty decent. Homura's route, though, was probably the best thing since sliced bread (and believe me, I was hyped af for sliced bread). Really, just a nice sweet story about a bunch of people living together for some time and getting close to one another, a slight tinge of drama to keep things interesting, probably the cutest heroine ever (and an Amako mini route, which is nice) for overall one of my favorite routes of the series.

NextNinja really dropped the ball with Chusingura46+1 hard. Most of its ratings on vndb are still from JP readers. I chose the stuff that received relatively favorable ratings both on vndb and Japanese boards, and most of the opinions on Root Letter are that it's like the worst thing ever (I think it has two or so stars on amazon, lol).

That's really nice to hear. Cafe is a seasoned translator who has done other dark stuff like Aoiro rinne, so the project has a good chance of reaching completion.

Glad I helped introduce you to the best VN. Its all downhill from there sadly. Nothing will ever be as good

The CG artwork for the demo is complete! I am now confident in announcing that the demo release of Alpha's Adventures will be launched on the 17th of January, alongside the Kickstarter campaign!

"a few" *has played more than me I'm just going to go ahead and recommend Tsukihime just because I didn't see it on your list. I like your picture BTW.

Try 11eyes and Tokyo Babel if you interested in action. If not, perhaps Himawari and Root Double could be good if you're into sci fi. Hope those recommendations could be help to you.

Go for If my heart had wings. I think that despite its bad rumors and localization, it was still a good VN. EDIT: Kinda didn't notice that you already have it in your list, so nvm

Thanks ! Thanks Yes, I'm such a great protag hihihi

When I previously said that I like the hand-drawn aesthetic of some VNs, I didn't mean for them to go and commission sprites from a kindergarten.

This looks beautiful! I wish you all the best.

So I wanted to do a proper post about this and I gave up on that idea while I was writing it and then I was doing a blog and I also quit in the middle of it too, so here it is the lazy, bad and short version of both them. I wanted to give my thanks to a few people in the forum, very few, since i don't really talk a lot with many of you... actually I really dislike the idea of mentioning people in particular so screw that. So, happy new year everyone! 2016 was probably the worst year of my whole life, by far (no, not because of trump, fuck that! xD ). I'm hoping that 2017 can be at least a bit better... although 2016 did have a few good moments (I finally graduated from the university yaaay) and some funny moments too (that trump thread xD ) It really saddens me to see how many of you can't take a fucking joke anymore and you also feel the need to edit or censor them because of that, like the one that Tyr made that was full of awesome memes, references and jokes and yes even if you don't believe it he probably jokes around 80% of the time or is being sarcastic except when he is not.. which is around 99% of the time (I'm crossing your name out because i don't want to mention anyone) I didn't know that everyone was so easily triggered in this forum : ( when somebody can't take a joke and feels the need to shut the other person up because it feels aggrieved... it says a lot about how we are doing as individuals and also as a community, I noticed it not only on fuwa but on Twitter, Facebook, or any social media too, everyone seems to be at their edge all the time... come on take everything in a less serious manner! But please ignore all my rant, I don't want to start a fight I just wanted to point that out and nothing more. So yeah, happy new year! Best wishes to all of you, specially to all that people that don't like me.

Currently playing Tsukihime (not the remake lol). The graphics are like sand in my eyes, but as a Type Moon fan, I must grind through it!! Hope it will be worth it lol

Second CG for Iori ~

The digital game cover is now finished!

What would probably happen to me (original comic):

~The girl with the lone eye. ~~~ "Hello! Is anyone there!?" The roaring fires light the hall. Pillars of smoke rise to the top of the building. The burning heat assaults my mind, and beads of sweat run down my face. Male, 17 years of age. This wasn't supposed to happen. It's just an ordinary weekend. This wasn't supposed to happen! The full moon shines brightly through the window, like a glistening silver high in the sky. A fleeting light in the darkness. My heated footsteps pace up the stairs. Chunks of wood collapse to the ground, and the apartment's floor begins to crumble beneath my feet. A cold air rushes through the building, only to feed the flames brighter and brighter. "Answer me! Where are you!?" A thousand stars shine brightly in the night sky, laughing at the man who would dare to go back. "What do you think you're doing, shithead!? There's nothing important in there! Go home!" Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong! The burning heat assaults my mind, and beads of sweat run down my face. Like a repeating hell with no end in sight. The clouds of ash rush at my eyes, like a toxin of the air that threatens to bring me to the ground. The pillars of smoke rise high in the sky. The sound of sirens can be heard on the outside. But, they can't get near. There's too many people evacuating. Too many people concerned only for themselves. Too many people who would hurt another to save themselves. "Please! Where are you!? Answer me!" The infinite depths of the night pour into the sky. Who knows what lies in the unknown? An infinite crowd looks into the sky. The pillars of smoke rise high as ever, higher and higher. But, they do nothing. Walking along to more important matters. Are they scared? Do the flames push them away? Or, maybe it isn't anything very important to begin with? Her room was empty. I passed it long ago, nothing but ashes remains. She wasn't there. She couldn't have been there. She would have ran by now. But, she wasn't there. Why wasn't she there? The crowd of survivors lies beneath. But, she wasn't there. "What do you think you're doing, shithead!? There's nothing important in there! Go home!" The stars laugh. Laughing at the man who would dare to go back. Their screams assault my mind. Laughing at the man who would dare to notice. Laughing at the man who would dare to do anything. Like a clown dancing along with the freaks of nature. My eyes shine through the night. Like a brilliant silver, high in the sky. "Where are you!? Sachi!" The burning heat assaults my mind. Beads of sweat run down my face. This wasn't supposed to happen. My heated footsteps pace up the stairs, like the drumming of a piano in a symphony of death. Chunks of wood fall to the ground, and the floor begins to collapse beneath my feet. A cold air rushes across my face, only to feed the flames stronger and stronger. The glistening silver shines high in the sky. The laughter of the stars assaults at my mind. The infinite depths of the night pass along with only a glance. Pillars of smoke rise high into the sky. The ashes in the air rush into my lungs, like a toxin that threatens to bring me to the ground. The scenery blends before me. My vision blurs itself to an decrypt cipher. Like a repeating hell with no end in sight. A faint breath is heard. Among the raging flames. A painful breath, like their lungs could collapse at any second. Female, 16 years of age, my heart tells to me. "Sachi! Where are you!?" My eyes scour the scenery. A repeating hell with no end in sight. The flames blur my vision, the hall stretches into infinity. First room, nothing. Second room, nothing. A faint breath is heard. Third room, nothing. Fourth room, nothing. My vision blurs itself to a decrypt cipher. Like a repeating hell with no end in sight. Fifth room. A river of blood runs down her face. The girl with the lone eye. The burning heat assaults my mind. Beads of sweat run down my face. "Sachi!" I run to her side. Piles of rubble keep her pinned to the ground. The red liquid stings at her iris. For the moment, her sight is gone. I press against the rubble. It won't move. The blood rushes through my veins. The beating of my heart pounds at my soul, like a bone-shattering punch with each step. It hurts. My strained bones threaten to break in two if I push them any farther. I don't care. The burning heat assaults my mind. Beads of sweat run down my face. The girl's blood drips to the floor. A faint breath is heard. Her warm brown hair. A gentle smile. Greater than any before it. The crying of the stars assaults my mind. Laughing at the man who would dare to go back. "What do you think you're doing, shithead!? There's nothing important in there! Go home!" Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong! The laughter continues. Like a cruel joke. An assault on all that is precious, carried out by the thousand stars in the night sky. The burning heat assaults my mind. Ten-thousand times over. Like a repeating hell with no end in sight. The rubble is pushed off of her and comes crashing to the floor. Her leg is broken. The faint, gasping breaths leave her no room to speak. Each so precious that removing a single one could cost a life. I haul her onto my back. Her half-conscious body weighs down on my soul. It's heavier than I thought. The burning heat assaults my mind. Bear it. The night is almost over. My footsteps pace down the stairs. What floor am I on? I can't tell. The burning heat assaults my mind. The scenery outside the window blurs into the same mess. A thousand stars in the night sky, laughing at the man who dared to go back. The infinite depths of the night, walking by pretending not to notice. And, the glistening silver that hangs in the night sky. The floor collapses under our weight. My leg falls through the gap. I scream out in pain as it gashes into my skin, I feel the sensation of my blood crawling down my leg. The pain intensifies as I pull it out from the floor. Keep moving. Don't stop. There is more than one life at stake here. I walk forward. My muscles rip and tear as the blood flows down from my leg. The burning heat assaults my mind. Keep moving. The burning heat assaults my mind. Clouds of ash cover the building, the pillar of smoke rises high into the air. Flaming embers float across the air, and the raging flames turn my vision a bright red. Sachi's weight presses onto my back, nearly unconscious with a leg twisted beyond recognition. Blood flows from her forehead and down the side of my back. My breathing is in frantic gasps, as each step nearly breaks my body in two. The clouds of ash corrupt my lungs and send blood gushing out of my leg. It's a miracle I can even stand. I lose my footing on the steps, and my head comes crashing down to the floor. It feels like my skull is split in two, as the torrent of blood comes flowing down my face. The crying of the stars assaults my mind. Laughing at the man who would dare to go back. Faceless ghouls who would mean to harm another. Running away from the shining gold of the sun, hiding just out of sight from the glistening silver of the moon. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! A thousand times over! Let thine accursed light vanish into the abyss! Disappear into the endless sea, never to return to the mortal plane! The blazing heat tortures the air, as the building is slowly brought to its knees. The pounding of my head crushes my soul like the beating of a drum. The red liquid drops from my body like a thousand bloody rivers. The eyes of a thousand stars, visible in the soul of the raging flames. The silent laughter tears at my sanity like a thousand roaring fangs. Burn! Burn away in the repeating hell, with no end in sight! Rejected by angel and demon alike, too weak to fight the strong and too weak to move forward! Those who would hurt another because they're too weak to do anything else! Burn away for all of eternity! Let thine accursed light vanish into the abyss! Let nothing save you, your time has come! I charge forward, screaming into the night. The weight of a single life brings down on my body like a thousand souls, and the infinite laughter claws at my mind like a thousand fangs. Let thine corrupted soul burn away in the raging flames! There is no salvation for those responsible! The swarming inferno strikes at my body from all directions, and my heart warns me of death at every instant. Tears burst forth from my eyes, only to vanish into the flames on this cold, cold night. Sachi's arms wrap around my neck, like a warm noose of the finest rope. The infinite depths of the night pass on, pretending not to notice. A thousand stars laugh at the man who dared to turn back. And, the full moon, a glistening silver high in the sky. Watching over all that exists, for as long as it can. A long, long hall. The exit lies on the other end. The raging flames tear at the walls from every direction, and the far-off sirens blare in the distance. Charge forward. Onward! Faster than anything of the mortal plane. Faster than the repeating hells with no end in sight, stronger than the infinite laughter of a thousand stars. The torrents of blood cloud my vision, and the beating of my mind threatens to collapse me at any second. Break through the earth! Anything that stands in our way! Rush into the sky, where no stars can reach us! The building creaks under the burning flame. The sound of the blaring sirens echoes through the sky. A thousand floors collapse onto the surface. My silver gaze looks to the crumbling flames. My silent scream shrieks across the earth. And then, the world turns to black. The sun pours in through the open window. My breath is hollow, and my vision is blurred. The hospitals walls are a dim shine, and an assortment of rags covers my body. My arm is wrapped in endless shells, and I can feel the bone shattered in more places than I can count. "Um...Patient 427. I'm afraid I have some bad news." The doctor speaks to me. "We...were unable to repair your left eye. Would you like us to find a donor?" Sachi lies resting by my side. "No," I said. The sun flows brightly into the room, a shining gold of pure harmony. Sachi begins to wake up. A golden shine gleams from her eye. "I think I like it better this way." From my right eye. The glistening silver of the full moon. And so, life continues. Like a repeating hope with no end in sight.
