Once again proving that Kokoro has been the best girl all along.

It’s time to share something larger than a picture. The music presented in Roadwarden’s demo was waiting for replacement. Now we have quite a massive list of original tracks that still need a couple of adjustments, yet are already very close to the game’s heart. It’s difficult to select and highlight a single track, but here’s the one that I love the most. It immediately takes me to a wild, dangerous forest. I want to keep the sounds a bit anxious, emotionally vague, without directly telling the players what they are supposed to feel. I really like it when fantasy video games don’t sink into the usual epic orchestras. So, do you love it, do you hate it? Let me know, I’m so excited to upload it today!

Hey there and welcome to Fuwanovel! I somehow kept reading your nick as "Beastcraving" for the first 15 minutes of so. Gave me a slightly different vibe than the correct version.

nice ad links lmao though indonesian is a weird pick

Most Western VNs are anime-style. Like, the vast majority of them, so it's not a good distinction. And they're not very popular in the way that most of them are very much limited to the niche Western VN community as its only audience. They're also low-budget, indie titles, while JP VNs come to the West as part of the huge eroge/visual novel industry and are considered higher quality. This means not even all VN fans will be interested in Western-produced VNs when they have tons of translated Japanese games to choose from. I read mostly Western VNs for the reason I'm writing about them and don't have time for much else, but they're definitely on the more indie/amateur side of things and niche pretty much by design, while Japanese stuff often has quite a broad appeal, with super-high-quality art and tons of sexual content. When it goes to Fuwa's slogan? It was definitely thought of in reference to Japanese VNs, which were put on the site's torrents back in the day (the ol' good pirate days, yarr!). Nowadays, if it still means anything, it's about all VNs. And just as a point of reference, Katawa Shoujo and DDLC achieved the kind of mass appeal no other EVN could replicate so far. But they're not the only notable ones. I'd mention Butterfly Soup, which got noticed by gaming media and I think circulated more within the LGBT+ community than in the VN spheres, and Sakura Spirit & its immediate sequels, which appealed to masses of horny otaku teenagers and not VN fans necessarily. Mein Waifu is the Furher might be a similar case to DDLC, as it exploded as a meme game rather than a VN. With "proper VNs", titles like Lucid9, Cinderella Phenomenon, Heart of the Woods, Analogue: A Hate Story or Cupid gathered decent notoriety and a lot of positive feedback. But still, it's all in the context of a niche within a niche – VN fans that are able to look past their biases, as for the longest time Western VNs were considered universally shit within the "core" VN community.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and sorry for the belated greeting. As for your VN, good luck with the project even though I'm not quite into this (Otome and all), and hopefully you'll write the setting very carefully.

As always - make sure to get retranslation patch.

Whoa! You're absolutely right. I just looked at it, and felt it all again. Apart from IMHHW, other VNs that I got attached to would be definitely Princess Evangile, Clannad and, for some mysterious reasons, Kazoku Keikaku. I get that strange nostalgic feeling whenever I just hear main menu music, or see title screen. Maybe some day I'll try to reread it untranslated.

Damn, now that I read on how you all felt from "If my heart had wings", so I'm high-key super curious about this game. I'll give it a shot guys, thank you!

Yeah, I feel ya on Accel World. As far as production standards go, it blew SAO (at least the earlier series) completely out of the park and was a joy to watch. It's the first series that comes to mind when I think of anime that need a continuation. Unfortunately, it's seems like Sunrise is mostly focusing on Gundam and Love Live nowadays. It's probably not gonna happen. Yakusoku no Neverland - This anime has a mean cliffhanger ending. If I weren't a big fan of manga in general, I'd have probably read its source material by now. I'm still considering it, actually. I'd say 90% of Madhouse's anime need continuations... Kokoro Connect - One can dream, right? Made in Abyss - I was highly invested in this series by the end of it, but the ending was not the least bit satisfying. Panty and Stocking - Not that I have a real craving for this, but I'd definitely like to watch more just for the lulz. Binbougami ga - This anime was so funny it actually hurt a little, lol. I would seriously love to see a sequel series for this.

Katawa Shoujo and Doki Doki Literature Club are the only ones that have really taken off. Mein Waifu is the Fuhrer may be next especially with how massively successful the kickstarter has been.
