I certainly do, my name is Zakamutt. Send me a friend invite (but please make it clear who the hell you are somehow) if you wish.

I wouldn't recommend KnS due to the absolute need for a walkthrough to not get over 9000 bad ends, seriously I deviated like 1 choice or two from a walkthrough and got the first bad end, over and over... And skipping is painful as they are intelligent enough to not stop voices from playing, raping your ears...

I love how your rewrite - visual novel - the beginnign is a LoL video

Started May Sky. I don't know whether it's Seung Parker's style when TLing or something, but the language is pretty poetic - not too much, though. I wonder whether this is a TL quality thing or a VN type thing...

If I had a mildly stable income, I'd probably pick up Kira Kira. I've read it before, it's decently priced, and it wasn't just released after a perfectly good fantl was out (saya no uta is really cheap though, apparently). Otherwise, maybe Higurashi if I get to reading it, 999 (I don't actually own a DS, so it feels a bit strange but still...), and yes, the PW games.

Finished reading LEAVEs yesterday, feel it's a bit underrated on vndb but criticisms of it are valid. Personally liked what happens at the very end the most, actually, despite it making others rage... Started up on Aoishiro now. The translator might have needed a more zealous / more existing editor given his tendency to not translate stuff like "etto" (yeah, you will probably know what it means, but still...) and similar. Apparently they couldn't hack it that well, so a lot of UI elements are only translated in some included pictures... Oh well. Otherwise it's quite interesting. Lots of japanese mythology (not sure how much of it is accurate, though).

Well, shiratori's route sucks... Kanon's is ok. Umm, nevermind... well yes you can just do that it will work out.

What Tsukihime anime? There is no anime.

After reading The Dandy Girl (http://vndb.org/v3249), I realized adaptations can be pretty good. What do you think about it, and what stories would you adapt? Personally when I read The Hunger Games I felt that it could be reconstructed quite effectively as a VN; it's already in first person narrative and the general style of the text feels compact. Branching could be used pretty well too.

Rewrite might be a decent option, in my opinion. It's not that long if you count individual routes, and the common route is quite funny for most people. If you do decide to read it, Kotori first!1 Otherwise, I agree with Saya no Uta. For a more esoteric suggestion, the 30-min KN The Dandy Girl www.weeaboo.nl/2012/11/review-the-dandelion-girl/ (a short story adaptation) might be interesting (read comments for d/l link. It's freeware, but the current mediafire page is down).

After finally finishing Swan Song, which took way too long for various reasons, I finished up Dandy Girl today as well given that it's only 30 mins long. Recommended. I've downloaded a bunch of stuff from insani, so I figure I'll try them out. A few shorter vns will be a nice change of pace, really.

For what it's worth, the TvTropes vn forum is a fairly nice place. Not that active, though.

Christine Love made quite a few fairly popular VNs before Analogue (notably Digital a Love Story and Don't take it personally... (LONGTITLE)), which is probably part of why it worked out for her.

Tried to play this on my (admittedly somewhat weak) ultraportable. It lags a lot - very choppy cursor movement and orb movement - sadly, so I will have to visit my desktop to play it (not to mention the problems of using a touchpad - or my mouse, given that I tend to play in bed(totally not intended, that one)). Maybe it's inevitable given the engine you've chosen, but if you can make it faster, that would be nice. edit: additionally, disabling javascript will give you a "please upgrade your browser" message. While NoScript users like me should probably know what they're doing anyway, it's not going to always be accurate and some browsers can disable javascript in settings. edit2: I want a volume slider. The music is too loud for my headphones at my default system volume settings.
