Dergonu

False, obviously. Next person can't play VNs without guides.

Shhh, shhh!

I bet my vote made the difference! You may now thank me!

The art looks nice and the story sounds very interesting. Looks good! Look forward to trying out the demo later. There is a decent amount of slightly awkward English in the post and a little on the site as well. You should probably get a native English speaking editor to look it all over in order to get an even better result. Good work and good luck Look forward to seeing more of this!

Welcome to the forum, nice to meet you

So I have been reading this H-manga, and it was quite ... entertaining Found out that there is actually a set of games that these are based off, and that they have been translated by JAST. Have a few questions. (https://vndb.org/v10839) Has anyone played them? Are the games good? (considering what they are. I'm not exactly expecting God-tier story or anything ) How is the translation? Looks like the games are a little old, and I know some of the older Mangagamer translations were a little akward, but don't know much about JAST on that front. Is it possible to jump straight into the third game, or should I start form the first one and move up through the games? Will I miss out on anything by skipping 1-2?

AVENGE ME BROTHERS!

Alright, the chapter is finally done. Not going to lie, I have been so freaking exhausted all day, and was having some trouble finishing this one. Hope it came out okay! The next week will BE THE LAST! To be continued!

The last GM standing Q&A: Link to the thread: Would you rather read the chapters in a PDF document? Click here! Chapter 1: Chapter 2: Chapter 3: (Word count, 4439) The Last GM Standing Chapter 4 (Word count, 3984) The Last GM Standing Chapter 5 (Word count, 4491) The Last GM Standing Chapter 6 (Word count 3334) - Finale, part 1/2 - The atmosphere on the battlefield was suffocating. With the sun once again covered by dark clouds, a strong wind blew across the area, seemingly building up to a storm. The three GMs were standing on an open field, facing each other, with their remaining warriors at their side. Kaguya, Nosebleed and Down. Only one of them would come out of the battle alive... .... Nosebleed was knitting his brows as the powerful wind struck him. In his mind, countless questions raged around. Why do we have to do this? Why wont the others put down their weapons? Why do we have to fight?.. At his side, Kingdomcome and Nebjula stood, with their weapons drawn. Nosebleed had lost many during the battle, and was down to his last two brave soldiers. He wished for nothing more than to let those two brave survivors make it out alive. But in order to do that, he had to fight ... He had to fight for them, and for the ones who had already given their life in this gruesome battle. "It's time. I can't guarantee your safety during this fight ... Not that I have been able to do that previously either..." Looking down at the ground with a shameful expression plastered on his face, Nosebleed spoke to his comrades. "Don't worry, we will be at your side until the bitter end." Kingdomcome said as he put his hand on Nosebleed's shoulder. Nebjula said nothing, but walked up at Nosebleed's other side and prepared his maces for battle. His hands were shaking ever so slightly and his lips were trembling. Before them stood Kaguya, with his four remaining fighters, and to their right was Down, who also had four warriors remaining. No one spoke. The overwhelming silence was soon followed by a loud roar of thunder coming from the east. Just as the sound of the thunder was heard, Kaguya made the first move... The battle had begun. - The beginning of the end - Kaguya lifted his arms above his head and summoned a massive fireball, hurling it at Down. Down reacted quickly and pushed his comrades out of the way, then jumped up in the air, making the fireball collide with nothing but the bare ground. As he floated through the air, Down gripped his sword and made a big swing, targeting Kaguya. The blade approached its target with great speed. Kaguya lifted up his right arm and the blade collided with his flesh. But, despite the strength of the attack, his skin was not cut. A big shockwave blew across the battlefield, as a reaction produced by the powerful impact of Down's sword. Down quickly drew back his blade and went in for another attack. Kaguya used his arms to block the attacks, and retaliated with punches that Down fairly easily dodged. The two traded blows for a while, neither landing any good hits. "Devourer of light, bane of the living, ruler of death, envelop the world in darkness!" Chanting a spell from behind Kaguya, Jade stepped forward and sent a large cloud of dark smoke towards Down. The smoke crept forward like a living being, seeking out enemies, and completely avoiding teammates. Down reacted quickly and jumped back a few meters, then he raised his sword towards the sky, and a bright green light erupted from the tip. The light wrapped itself around himself and his warriors, shielding them from the smoke. "Dergonu, Greenshadow." Speaking to two of his underlings, Kaguya pointed forwards, and the two launched an attack at the exposed Down. Because he was busy holding back the shadow from his forces, he was wide open. It was not a physical barrier, but instead one to hold back magic, which meant humans could pass through it. The two ran towards their target and raised their weapons. "Get back scum!" Before they reached Down, a shadow quickly jumped out from behind him, blocking both their attacks. Two green swords glowing in a green light, similar to that Down was producing, was blocking their weapons. "Yaaa!" Their opponent, FinalChaos, pulled back his swords and spun around, making the blades strike at both targets in a circular motion. They both had to raise their weapons in a defensive manner to block the attack, at which point another attacker stepped out behind Down and struck at the two team Kaguya members. He held a long green dagger, and stabbed at Greenshadow's chest. Greenshadow quickly moved his shield in between himself and the dagger, whilst still holding back FinalChaos' sword attacks. Fred the Barber, the second attacker from team Down, quickly moved sideways and tried to stab at Greenshadow's flank, but Dergonu jumped in between them. The four warriors started attacking each other left and right, looking for openings. Meanwhile, Down was still holding back Jade's magic, which was starting to approach its limit. Suddenly a rain of crossbow bolts approached Down and the other fighters present. Down extended his left hand, making a physical barrier to stop the sudden attack, leaving him even more exposed than before. Kingdomcome from team Nosebleed was positioned about 50 meters away, firing freely at the group. To his left stood Nebjula, protecting his teammate from potential threats. "Damnit ... At this rate we will be sitting ducks... Babiker, Kawasumi, take out the sniper, I'll hold back Kaguya. If you run into Nosebleed himself... then run." Doing as their leader told them, Kawasumi and Babiker started running towards the team Nosebleed members. Fred the Barber and FinalChaos were still in a fight with Dergonu and Greenshadow. Jade and Gijimu were standing next to Kaguya, working like bodyguards. .... Team Down: Fred the Barber, FinalChaos VS Team Kaguya: Greenshadow622, Dergonu .... Down finally got a break from all the oncoming attacks. Kawasumi and Babiker had approached Kingdomcome, and Jade's magic had finally stopped. But, just as he had some time to catch his breath, two pink shuriken soared through air, approaching Down's position. He quickly tried to swat them down with his sword, but as the blade was about to hit the oncoming shuriken, they moved as if they had a will of their own, making them avoid Down's weapon. They hit him in the chest, making his personal barrier take a strong hit. Upon closer inspection, Down saw that the shuriken were tied to a string, which was being controlled by someone further away. "... Nosebleed." Clutching his sword with all his might, Down swung it in a big arc, moving it towards the location the shuriken were being controlled from. A massive wave of green energy approached its target, breaking everything in its path. A pink magic circle appeared in the target location seconds after, blocking the attack. Meanwhile, FinalChaos and Dergonu were in a fight a little further away from the GMs. As Down had engaged in battle with an enemy, FinalChaos had taken command of the battle against Kaguya's troops, and had sent Fred the Barber to fend of Greenshadow622 while he himself fought Dergonu. Fred's dagger would be of little use against a massive mace. Of course, it wasn't very ideal against a sword and a shield, but if he could at least hold out until FinalChaos finished his own fight, then that was enough. FinalChaos was calmly analyzing Dergonu's attack patterns as they fought, trying to find an opening. From the look of it, he would not tire easily, not to mention that if he stalled the fight too long, Fred could be in danger, so he would need to finish the fight some other way. Dergonu wasn't particularly fast, but every time FinalChaos moved in to strike at him with his dual blades, it made for a dangerous opening. All it took was one hit from the giant mace to knock him out. He had to play it carefully. Because of that, FinalChaos did not take the initiative, and instead waited for when Dergonu attacked. Then, he moved quickly away from the mace and sliced at Dergonu's exposed side. His swords collided with Dergonu's barrier, bouncing off him. Because the attack was a very swift cut, it wasn't particularly powerful, but it was enough to slightly weaken Dergonu. If he kept that up, he would be able to win. "You little ... STAND STILL!" Shouting in an agitated voice, Dergonu suddenly lifted his mace above his head and smashed it down in the ground in front of him. As it didn't look like the attack would hit him, FinalChaos made no attempt to avoid the attack, which was a mistake. The mace produced a shockwave, which knocked FinalChaos off his feet. Dergonu followed up with striking at FinalChaos on the ground. It would be impossible for him to dodge it from that position, and so he used his swords to absorb the impact from the attack. He had to use all his strength in order to hold back the giant mace. It slowly but surely started pushing back FinalChaos' swords, inching in towards his chest. There had to be a way out. Still remaining calm, FinalChaos looked for a way out of his dire situation. He could kick Dergonu's legs, making him trip, but that could mean his mace would hit him in the process. Such a blow could be fatal, so that wouldn't work... As he approached his limit, no longer able to hold back the mace, he came to a conclusion. Suddenly letting go of both his swords, he made the surprised Dergonu tip forward. FinalChaos then gripped the approaching mace, stopping it right before it hit his chest. Following up his surprise maneuver, he kicked at Dergonu's leg, as the mace hitting him was no longer a risk. Dergonu fell over, losing the grip on his mace. "Crap... You annoying pest!" Gradually getting more and more annoyed, Dergonu launched a flurry of randomly directed punches at FinalChaos, who had not been able to retrieve his own blades yet. "You can have this back." As he said that, FinalChaos threw the mace at Dergonu. Acting on pure reflex, he gripped the mace midair. FinalChaos then snatched up his blades from the ground, and thrust them into Dergonu's wide open chest, crushing the remaining resistance in his barrier. "Ghhhh..." Letting out a pained noise, Dergonu lost the grip on his mace, and fell to the ground. "Now... Time to check on Fred." Turning his back on his dead opponent, FinalChaos looked around for his comrade. .... Fred the Barber was trying his best to fight off Greenshadow's attacks. He was unable to parry the attacks directly, as all he had was a dagger, however he was able to stab at Greenshadow's side whenever he moved in for an attack. He had landed a few hits, to his own surprise, but he had also sustained a wound to his left arm, making the already difficult fight even harder. Greenshadow's shield was also a problem. Because of it, Fred could only attack Greenshadow's right side, because the shield would make attacks to his left completely impossible. Fred was breathing heavily, and his heart was beating faster and faster. The pain in his arm did not really bother him, but he was starting to get really nervous. He had no real plan of attack, and the only thing he could do was fend off his opponent, keeping him at bay with some sneaky counterattacks here and there. At this rate, he would not be able to win... Would he die? Would he lose? Was this the end? Greenshadow looked at Fred with a hint of guilt as he moved in for another attack. I see... So even he knows it, huh? The blade moved towards Fred. He sidestepped, but just as he moved away, he realized his mistake. He had moved to the left, which meant ... Greenshadow's shield bashed Fred right in the face, completely impairing his vision, making the world spin around in his head. Then, right after, a cold sensation hit him in the stomach. The feeling of cold steel piercing his skin. This is the end, huh? ... Maybe it's for the better. "FRED!" Someone shouting his name made him snap back to reality. FinalChaos jumped between them, striking at Greenshadow. His swords hit Greenshadow's shield, but he managed to force Greenshadow back, making him take the blade out of Fred's stomach. Fred collapsed, and FinalChaos dropped his swords, catching Fred before he hit the ground. Greenshadow looked at the scene, with a pained expression on his face. "I'm sorry." With those words, he turned his back on them and walked away. A hint of a smile appeared on Fred's face. "S-Seems I did a lousy job of stalling him, huh? ..." FinalChaos shook his head quietly, and held his comrade in his arms, closing his eyes. Fred had been one of the people on his team he cared quite a lot for. Some of the others were too brutal, too ruthless and bloodthirsty. But maybe ... Maybe those qualities were what one needed on a battlefield like this. "Rest now ..." Upon hearing those words, Fred nodded ever so slightly, and soon after, the light vanished from his eyes, the smile still present on his face. Team Kaguya, Dergonu- DEAD END Team Down, Fred the Barber- DEAD END .... Down felt the life force of another one of his warriors vanish, and anger welled up inside him. Why? Why are we doing this? Why?! "GAAAH!" Unable to contain his anger, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and struck at Nosebleed with incredible strength. The power of his attack was enhanced by his rage, making Nosebleed's barrier wither. "Guh..." Surprised by the sudden attack, Nosebleed took a careful step backwards, putting more energy into his barrier. "No more! NO More!" As Down shouted, he prepared to strike at Nosebleed once again, but was suddenly stopped as a Kaguya moved up next to him and struck at his chest with a fist wrapped in fire. The attack created a massive explosion, sending Down flying. He lost the grip on his sword, and as he hit the ground, it made a giant crater. Turning around to face Nosebleed, Kaguya struck at his new target. Nosebleed was not caught off guard however, and easily avoided the hits. He then retaliated with a hit off his own. The two struck at each other repeatedly, making waves of fire and energy fly everywhere. Down as still lying in the crater, unconscious. About 50 meters away from the GMs, another battle was taking place. "Nebjula, duck!" Kingdomcome fired a flurry of bolts at Kawasumi, as Nebjula jumped to the side just in time. But, as the bolts were about to hit their target, Babiker moved in and hit every single one out of the air. "Too slow kid." He said with confidence. As Kawasumi saw an opening, she struck at Nebjula with her sickle. Nebjula blocked it with his maces, but Kawasumi was much faster, and followed up her attack with a kick to Nebjula's head, making him fall face first into the ground. "Damnit..." Cursing to himself, Kingdomcome fired more bolts at the team Down members, trying to buy some time for Nebjula to get back up. But, every bolt was hit out of the air by Babiker before they hit. "Who the hell is this guy?!" "Keep them coming buddy, I can do this all day!" He answered in a smug tone. Kawasumi grabbed a hold of Nebjula and lifted him up in the air by his neck. "Good boy. I'll have some fun with you before I kill you." As she said that, Kawasumi placed her sickle on Nebjula's hand, and cut off one of his fingers. "AAAAAAAHH!" Screaming in pain, Nebjula kicked at Kawasumi viciously. "Come on now, be still! You are making this so much harder!" Kawasumi tried to get a good grip on her opponent, but wasn't able to keep a firm hold on him because of his resistance, and eventually dropped him. "Look what you did! Your dirty shoes made my armor all filthy..." Kawasumi kneeled down, once again trying to get a good grip on Nebjula's neck. "Y-You bitch..." Nebjula suddenly thrust his head upwards, making the top of his head collide with Kawasumi's nose. As she gripped her bleeding nose and staggered backwards, Nebjula got to his feet and picked up one of his maces. "Payback time." Nebjula then lunged forward and was about to strike at the defenseless Kawasumi. But, right before he managed to attack her, Babiker launched a kick which pushed Nebjula back. Nebjula hit the ground with a loud crash. But, during the second Babiker looked away from Kingdomcome, another volley of crossbow bolts flew towards him with great accuracy. "... Shit." He had no time to deflect them, and the projectiles hit his body all over, piercing his arms, legs and chest. Warm blood flowed from his open wounds, and his entire body screamed in pain. After just a few seconds, he fell to the ground with a thump. "Nebjula, let's hurry! Looks like Nosebleed is in a pinch!" Kingdomcome quickly ran up to the fallen Nebjula and helped him up. Nosebleed was in a fight with Kaguya, and it looked like Kaguya was landing quite a few hits. They had to hurry over to their commanders aid. "Like I'll let you escape after screwing up my nose you little shit!" Kawasumi got to her feet and moved forward quickly, aiming for Nebjula's neck. "Look out!" Kingdomcome instinctively pushed Nebjula out of the way, and Kawasumi's sickle hit Kingdomcome's neck. The thin blade made a deep cut in Kingdomcome's neck, cutting through his throat, nearly separating his head from his body. "Whops... Looks like I hit the wrong one. Well, whatever. You're next." Nebjula did not react to Kawasumi's words. He was completely paralyzed, covered in his teammate's warm blood. He stared at Kingdomcomes body, not knowing how to react. "... Eh?" Kawasumi suddenly let out a high pitched voice. She had completely stopped moving, and blinked repeatedly, as if she wasn't entirely sure what was happening. She touched her stomach, and her hand was stained in blood. But it wasn't Kingdomcome's blood... It was hers. There was a large hole in her stomach. "Grgh.." Not able to form actual words because of the blood flowing out of her mouth, Kawasumi collapsed. Behind her stood Gijimu from team Kaguya, his hand covered in red blood. "I will let you go this time, but once we meet again in battle, I won't go easy on you." Gijimu simply left Nebjula with those words, before he had a chance to reply. Nebjula's legs were shaking violently, and he finally fell to the ground, covering his face in his hands. Team Down, Babiker and Kawasumi- DEAD END Team Nosebleed, Kingdomcome (REAL)- DEAD END The battlefield was covered in smoke, massive craters and dead combatants. This was the final part of the battle. Team Down and Nosebleed now only had a single warrior left each. Kaguya still had three remaining warriors. The battle between Nosebleed and Kaguya had not yet reached a conclusion. Down was unconscious, his body being protected by FinalChaos. Nebjula was still recovering from shock, and Gijimu, Greenshadow622 and Jade had joined in the fight versus Nosebleed. But, despite being in a difficult situation, Nosebleed was keeping his cool, and was not about to give up anytime soon. The fight still wasn't over. A cloaked figure was looking over the battle from afar, waiting for the winner to be crowned. Who would come out victorious?

I don't get it. Why make a new thread for this? Like, what is the point of this thread? (Are we supposed to discuss whether we think the industry will die out, or ..?) EDIT: Think this came off a bit harsh, did not mean it that way. I just meant, why was this not simply posted in the original thread that was refrenced instead of making a whole new one. That's all.

False, I hate it. Can't climb for the life of me. Next person thinks Vanilla is the best girl in Nekopara.

AH NO! Damnit! My stupid brain goes: "must open spoiler tags!!!" whenever I see one. Darn. Going to play that soon. Oh well Doesn't seem to be a massive spoiler or anything.

Hey man, @Forgetful Frank happy birthday! Hope you have a good one!

Hm, well there really isn't a way for the program to automatically detect its own mistakes. The actual parsing in both programs should be about the same, but in chiitrans its easier to change, if you do find some mistakes. If the sentence makes very little sense, maybe you can manage to spot some irregularities? Really don't know what else that could help. It is just a program after all, it's not a real person who can understand the setting and stuff in the sentence, so it often does make small parsing mistakes. Can't really avoid it.

I don't know how to fix this in VNR, but if you get chiitrans, you can very simply just highlight the word and change the reading, or re-parse manually if it parses the words wrong. guide on how to install and run it:

So, still playing kimisora, just finished the Sekka route. Dear lord, the feels. This is really great; haven't been this into a VN for a while. Sekka was the girl I had the least expectations for, but wow, her route was fantastic. Ahhh, just look at this face Time to move over to the other routes. Have my ticket for the feel train ready. Let's do this.

Well I am a little late, but I have this version, and they are fine. Don't know what your concerns about it would be, but it's not like they are hard to read or anything. They do have some bulk to them because there is a lot of chapters in each book, but they are nicely put together and it's not a problem at all. And let's face it, it's worth it either way, because yuri

Nebjula: Not very skilled in combat, but makes up for it with sarcasm Well, the characters aren't supposed to reflect your real self, (I mean, you guys are murdering each other with magic and shit ) like I explained in the Q&A, it is a little too hard for me to find a fitting personality for each one of you, that still reflects your real personality. Therefore, all the personalities are randomized. Who gets what is really just picked at random. Enjoy your brute strength buddy!

Glad to hear it. That is what I wanted. Some of the old characters who have less of a personality will hopefully get more unique traits in the next chapters. They will be based off the traits listed above.

So, time to get hyped. The finale will be split into two parts, the first part coming out on saturday and the final chapter will come out one week after! There is 10 remaning fighters, and of course, the three GMs. All rules limiting the GMs from fighting have been lifted, and the chapters will feature the GMs fighting both each other and the members. It will be an epic battle royale type situation. The remaining warriors are:

I always have a girl I think of as the best one, but I still always finish every route. Well, unless I just get tired of the game and don't want to anymore. But it's never like a , "I wont betray my waifu!" kind of thing. I actually usually save the "best girl" for last, or for later most of the time.

True, my alienware M15x is 6 years old. The next person thinks the moon landing was a lie.

Not sure what yours is either, but I like it 7/10

I came across this brilliant face in Kimi e okuru, sora no hana, and felt like it could be a funny emoticon for the forum. We have a lot of reactions in the emoticons at the moment, but not like a real derpface. So maybe make it :derp: or something like that. Or just keep it consistent with the other VN emoticons, and make it :kana:

Umm, their latest update is a little weird ... " News about the physicals and other items on the Kickstarter will come out later this month. " Are they aware that April has like 2 days left? Later this month, as in a whopping two days from now, or has Sekai Project magically warped into May already? At least we have gotten, ( a little weird and cryptic), update saying that they will address the physical rewards at some point. Hopefully they have some good news on that front once the update comes. But come on, these updates are getting a bit comical now. They so vague and non-detailed...
