Pixel Pineberry Studios Presents... Idols are the most popular thing in the media right now, and the top idol manufacturer Lyriq has a convention to run this weekend. One catch–the virtual idol, Aiko, is malfunctioning. Only one thing can fix Aiko, and that is finding the person who programmed her. But it isn’t easy for a sapient computer program to find her creator–that is, without help. That’s where superfan Hana and a ragtag team of convention attendees come in to save the day. Kickstarter Steam Greenlight Website Twitter Facebook IndieDB Format: Visual Novel Genre: Slice of Life, Friendship, Light Scifi Platforms: Windows, Linux, OSX Engine: Unity AIdol: Artificial Intelligence Idol is a visual novel that is programmed in Unity. Features include light character animations, panning backgrounds, and an interactive story involving a virtual idol, a PR team, and a pack of misfit convention attendees. Featuring relaxing, upbeat music as well as cute art, we hope this will be a visual novel to enjoy. Characters More coming soon! Demo on Itch.io! AIdol will be coming soon to Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight! Team Pixel Pineberry is the creative force behind AIdol.

It is one of the greatest hentai ever.

I'm personally excited about this either way (whether or not a major amount of censorship is involved; it doesn't matter to me that much, personally speaking). Now, what I'm particularly hoping for is a future scenario wherein someone who isn't a part of any of these communities - who remains unaffected by all the hype/talk over the game that's been building up and boiling over for the past several years - hears about the game recently coming out and decides to play it on a complete whim. If that were to happen then perhaps they could end up writing some cool blog post or article about their experience if it manages to leave enough of a positive impact. I'd actually like to read something someone wrote about the game in English over a reread of the game in English, to be honest. Edit: Reply to Fred's message here (Fuwa won't let me save an edited post that introduces a quote hmm) : Yes! Pretty much what you said, @Fred the Barber! I want to add that; Subarashiki Hibi, as a creative venture into all of the subjects it outlines, shouldn't even be considered any version of 'philosophical' in the first place due to the nature of the work in that light. And anyways, while it may contain a fair amount of ambiguous and/or cryptic elements (symbolism, language, etc.) in certain sections of the narrative plus subtext that might feel somewhat perplexing at times, a description like that certainly doesn't equate in meaning to one that expresses 'what most would call "philosophical"'. When people are using a label or a name to call something by they have to first differentiate it from the actual term the label/name came from (and what it meant proper to them as an individual) internally. I think some amount of correction should be in order if people in communities are - on a constant growing basis - intentionally ignoring this social convention of keeping nonsense out of their description for something made to the public. I know how this occurs because I was a part of the problem a while back, and I really do apologize for that! Q_Q Not to mention, the connotation that comes with this particular label being attached to Subahibi makes it out to be some grandiose sensationalist experience (which some will attach a definition that says "therefore it's amazing" to) when it is quite unlike that if you know more about how the game was produced and written. >.> In this I'm not saying that people should learn the context behind the production and creator/s even if they don't want to, but it's already a fact that you'd be automatically setting yourself up for disappointment if you think Subahibi's actually going to change your worldview on anything (as the hype would have us all believe). Well, I said my piece. Just enjoy Subahibi for what it is and not what you expect it to be/think it should be, please. Myself and everybody else who have already read it can at least guarantee that it'll be an interesting and unique experience with a blend of stuff/ideas referenced you may or may not have heard, seen, or thought about before. In this way it makes it relatively difficult to describe how Subahibi is between each person, and there you have the definitive cause for this sort of hype to surround the work.

It never really occurred to me that when Saikawa grows up Kanna will still be a child. Ahhhh, I love the bittersweetness.

To be honest, I might be looking forward to Island more than SubaHibi. SubaHibi is one of those VNs that's been hyped too much. I've taken enough philosophy classes to know that "philosophical" means different things to most people than it does to me, and I mostly find the thing other people usually mean when they call something "philosophical" to be annoying, so given how often that label is affixed to SubaHibi, I'm leery of it. I'll play it, and I honestly expect I'll enjoy it, but I'm trying to intentionally tank my hopes for it so I can be pleasantly surprised.

Well the thread title should be obvious. Let's just look at their tweet first. Hype and pretentious issue aside, anyone looking forward to this? Personally I'm interested with that, though not as hyped as any other people though. Anyway, this is one of VN that had some history in regard of VN Translation scene, and it was already discussed to the death in this forum and VNDB as well (Maybe Reddit too). As for release year, not sure if it's real but let's just wait and see for now.

so, my 25th year of existence has been.....eh good stuff: Got into a vn dev company sort of, gonna make music, learned enough japanese to read jp vns, discovered the joy of penis bad stuff: introvert and NEET like never before in my entire history of living AMA

Can I use your social security number though? Maybe use your passport when traveling to the recently great America?

You learned enough japanese? I'm proud of your self-studying! Sorry I couldn't keep up with our sessions! 許してください！

I'm going to America from march I think 13th maybe 16th but anyway, I'm gonna be in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It's gonna be great i finally get to see what you American weebs do

Confession: My roommate and I have done the same thing. xD

CG/recap 100% . Because you are adjusting the flag, select it according to the chart. . Since global flags are considered, clear it in the order of description. If it is not possible to keep the above, there is a high possibility not to get on the route. In that case, you should adjust the flag by yourself. . The gray cell in the chart is an option that does not appear if it is on the chart. It will appear at re-play. Orange font in the chart is CG difference. Please select both. Either way can be used as a passing option in the case of collection.

a lot of stuff which I dont wanna whine about here, slide in my dms sometime if you REALLY wanna hear it never, I stopped aging at 12 #forevershota that I like dicks?

When's your birthday?

Ahaha, I'll take your welcome! Thank you! (Hurray for dank memes.)

mmm... I've seen some good signs, some not so good... With this kind of thing, I like to take the long view. I'm hoping a new generation of good writers will pop up before the last of the first two generations retire, lol.

Naricssu easily. It's my first VN, and the reason I still love this genre :).

Unironically obsessed with this song.

Hm, I'm rather fond of this series. It actually took a lot of time to try and come up with a way to describe what it's about that felt right for me, but I think I did it. https://fuwanovel.net/reviews/2017/02/13/rance-5d-vi/

He has an actual personality, unlike most VN protagonists. People may not like that personality, but at least it isn't dull.

I know MangaGamer probably loves the fact that there are no voices. Voices increase the cost of licensing games by an absurd amount.

I'm actually quite interested in Pygmalion. In comparison to Tokyo Babel it seems to be more mystery than action and I usually prefer mystery, at least if it comes to VN's. I'm also kind of relieved that it's not tagged as comedy, since Tokyo Babel's indecisiveness if it wants to be a comedy VN or an utsuge was a bit too much for me and made it hard to take the the VN seriously. Especially the high school in limbo... Sure, there's no guarantee that Pygmalion will be better, but I'm at least willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. And not to forget, there's also Yang Li-Ling, the cool Chinese chick I'm heavily interested in since I saw her the first time. A heroine that is actually older than 20 - so rare that it's hard to believe that it's even a Japanese VN.
