I've had VN saves appear in my appdata folder. Go to C:/Users/[Your username]/AppData then check both the Local and Roaming folders for another folder named after either the VN or the developer.

Pretty stoked for Dr. Stone S2 but that's about it.

I'm sure both Sony and Microsoft are going to use this generation as a test run to see if they can get away with going 100% digital next generation. Historically I don't get a console until the next generation is about to come out (I just got my PS4 a few months ago). In this case though, I do want to cast my vote on the side of keeping physical media around though, so I might buy both of them new this time. Also, the scalping community is alive and well I see.

Sorry my dude, I can't make it work either. I dropped the script file in a hex editor and compared it to a few other scripts from NScripter VNs. The other scripts all start off exactly the same but the one from The Noose is different and I'm not sure why. The author might have done something to obfuscate the script further, idk.

Okay, I’ll try and download the VN and see if I can get it to work.

When it runs correctly it doesn't say anything command prompt. Did the result.txt appear in the folder?

Try typing “nscdec.exe nscript.dat” I guess you have to specify the file you’re decoding. I thought it tried to look for one automatically but I guess not, sorry.

It's very similar to the kirikiri extraction tools. From that ONScripter tools download copy nscdec.exe and nscmake.exe into the game folder. Copy the path to the game folder, and then in command prompt put in the following command: cd PATH_TO_FOLDER_HERE Once that is done type in "nscdec.exe" to rip the script. A new text document called "result.txt" should appear in the game folder. That is your decoded script file that you can edit easily with Notepad++. To recompile the script, type in "nscmake.exe result.txt". When you do that you should see that the "Date modified" field for the nscript.dat file is updated, which means that it worked and if you try to run the game you should see your translation instead of the original text.

Oh, sorry. Sometimes the script is just a text document inside the arc.nsa file, sometimes it's that nscript.dat, and sometimes it's both. In this case, you'll need the command line programs I mentioned earlier. The original download for those tools is gone, but it looks they are mirrored here: https://kaisernet.neocities.org/onscripter/#mirrors Are you familiar with using command line programs? EDIT: Looks like there are pre-built ONScripter exes there too if you need them/don't want to do the build yourself.

There used to be a good set of command line tools for NScripter but those seem to have disappeared. Fortunately Garbro will unpack and repack NScripter archives: https://github.com/morkt/GARbro If, when you try to play your translation, the game crashes with an error about the script you've translated, then you'll want to snag and build a copy of ONScripter. That will give you an exe to replace default exe that came with the VN download. The new one shouldn't crash like that. http://onscripter.osdn.jp/onscripter.html.en

Yeah this is what I do. I should probably go through and prune my wishlist. It's very bloated at the moment.

Have you played Ib? It's an RPG maker game, not a VN but it's pretty great. https://vgperson.com/games/ib.htm

That's where you're wrong kiddo.

You're tried Garbro I assume?

First one has a few copies on Amazon Japan although they aren't cheap. https://www.amazon.co.jp/堕落の国のアンジー-狂界の牝奴隷達/dp/B004UCWI1I Can't find anything for the second.

Have you been in legal trouble over the torrents this whole time?

Wow, that's really impressive looking. They've got the UFO Table artstyle matched perfectly.

In that middle one, did Amaterasu cut the "middle of the forest" context or did Sekai project add it? I doubt anyone is familiar enough with the original Japanese text to actually answer that question, but it seems like a weird discrepancy between the two versions. "Middle of the forest" is a lot of description to lose by replacing it with "here" so I have a hard time imaging that the fanTL would have simplified it that much. On the other hand, if the the original text really does just say "here" then "middle of the forest" seems like pretty aggressive embellishment on SP's part.

SAO an Re:Zero are good. Maybe Kirito will actually get a few lines this season, who knows? Dropped Demon King Academy after 10 minutes. Might try rent a girlfriend eventually. Otherwise not much that interests me.

Is that actually patented lol

Fair enough about the shovelware thing. I actually do frequent DLsite's doujin section fairly often and while there is plenty of shovelware to sift through none of their artwork ever hits the bottom of the uncanny valley the way that the 3D VNs do. The sheer repulsiveness of the 3D artwork is mainly what gets to me. I actually don't encounter many VNs on steam at all. My interaction with them (EDIT: the 3D VNs specifically) is limited mostly to seeing them clog the Just Released feed on VNDB with a public version, a patreon version, an android version, and an incest patch all at once which is also irksome. There's plenty of Japenese shovelware flowing through there too, obviously, but at least they usually only take up one slot.

I just want people to stop using that godawful 3D Visual Novel Maker that's on steam. Is that really too much to ask?

Do you have autoplay turned on?

I'm so glad it doesn't look like a car engine part lol

I'm a metalhead before I'm an otaku. Music in general I'd say is more important to me than anything otaku-related. Mostly power metal these days but I like a lot of death metal too. I dabble in a lot of other genres to a lesser degree too. I like a lot of 2000's electronic. Some folk and country. Been sporadically exploring Nordic pop lately. I typically shy away from the top 40 type stuff but every once in a while there's a legit banger in the top 40 stuff. Within all of that, a large chunk of what I listen to is Japanese in origin. They write a lot of crazy good power metal over there, and I like a lot of j-pop rock too. However, the amount of stuff that I listen to from the rest of the world far outweighs the Japanese stuff. Within the last 8 months or so I've been dabbling in 3D modeling a bit. Just recently I decided I want to really push myself to get good at it. If I can get to a good enough level I kinda want to see if I can use it make an original VN using 3D assets. Only what I'm envisioning would actually look nice and appealing and not at all like the patreon-funded nightmare fuel that's been popping up lately. As for stuff I used to like but don't anymore. Around the time Skrillex had his breakout success I thought Dubstep was gonna be my jam for the rest of my life but my interest interest in Dubstep fizzled out pretty quickly. I think that was true of most everyone that was on the hype train at the time. I think I've distilled my Dubstep taste down to about 5 songs, give or take. I had a similar phase with Vocaloid music actually and I think I'm down to maybe 15-20 vocaloid songs that I actually enjoy.
