White Glint

Is there a translated walkthrough out there ? Or a Spoiler Al file ? Dont have too much time on my hands, so I'd rather use it efficiently to not miss too much.

I dont mind them much and I read most of them, as sometimes they're funny/interesting. I can perfectly understand why some people dont want them or would like an option to disable/skip them (like in Katawa Shoujo) other than "press ctrl to fast forward".

Shipping is gonna take a while. Anyways are there any walkthroughs around already ?

Fist of the North Star - You are already dead. Darker than Black: Ryusei no Gemini - Alcoholic hobo saves the world. One Piece - Does anyone remember where the fuck it all began and where we wanted to go in the first place ?

I never quite understood the general dislike the original MuvLuv is getting, of course it isnt anywhere near the drama and quality of Alternative, but still the fairly lighthearted highschool romance stories had their fair share of drama too and were a nice read. And after you finish Alternative and read MuvLuv Extra again you'll see a ton of foreshadowing.

Well I can give you the report how it was with our group. We first tried it over Teamspeak, I wasnt doing the DM in that try, but was just a player. We had 2 americans and 1 canadian who spoke good accent free easy understandable english. While my english is pretty good I have a pretty strong eastern european accent, then we also had an australian who had a very distinct way of talking so it took some time to get used to it. It had problems here and there, but the main problem was. One of the guys had a very soft whispery voice and another one was very shy and didnt talk much. It kinda sucks for roleplaying purposes as they only could roleplay shy characters. It isnt really viable to roleplay a womanizer bard when you're not talking much. After the first game we decided to try out doing it over IRC. I was doing the DungeonMaster. We used some GURPS rules and I wrote a basic science fiction setting, it wasnt anything special. A corporation hired a group of people to infiltrate and sabotage another one and I made the quests based around it. In the IRC we used OOC: (out of character) everytime we were talking about anything not related to the game. Banter between us, random smalltalk and such stuff. We really had an awesome mood going on like in that video, while we were rolling and doing our quest we were talking about many things. Most of the time they talked in character, like one guy roleplayed an ace hacker who was afraid of women. Anytime he was talking to a questnpc or partymember that was female he'd stutter. While you dont have intonation you have plenty of ways to characterize your speech. Like that guy was always writing "H-h-hello g-g-ood to m-m-meet you" or I had a quest NPC say someting along the lines "A shady merchant approached your group, he was talking in a sneery voice and was belittling you when he asked you if you want to buy some weapons" And you can have your character yell out his attacks. I could announce that a group of rats approaches the group. You could then write something along the lines of "Steve the warrior jumped at the enemies and yelled LIGHTNING FLASH" and then you roll for your attack. Or we could use the IRC solely for incharacter/gamerelated stuff and use teamspeak for out of character talking. I'm also a very fast typer which makes it a bit easy for me to dungeonmaster in IRC. If you're interested in this and have some people interested we can do something. I'll be on holiday from august 3rd - august 12th, I could use that time to come up with a setting and a story, could be fantasy or sci-fi. Fantasy is a very good/easy first time p&p rpg as it is easier to write a setting/roleplay in and there's very good beginner friendly fantasy rulesets. A science fiction or post-apocalypse setting would be a lil bit more demanding in the rules section depending on what you want to have, cybernetics, vehicles, drugs, etc etc.

I've DM'd a few games over the internet back when I used to play EVE with my EVE corpmates. Tho we did it over IRC. I dont have a good mic and I also have a heavy accent, so that might not be an option, tho if you want to do a campaign over IRC I could cook something up.

Mine too. There can never be enough turn based games

Awesome project I'm rooting for you guys! MuvLuv is a fucking awesome universe and I love it. I'm not too confident in my japanese skills and doubt I'd be much of a help with muvluvs military jargon. Still if you need help with anything else I'd be happy to help out.

It's a kinda hard question. I'd say MuvLuv Unlimited, while I love the whole ML trilogy and I agree that Alternative is a much better VN than Unlimited, Unlimited has this special place because I cant remember many times I was that sad and shaken as I was during the first time I got the "true" heroine ending

I've been/am looking for a new VN community, hope I'll find it here. I was member on a few private gaming trackers where I shared visual novels&eroge and at times it needed quite a bit of persuasion work to let me upload it. Unfortunately both the trackers closed down in the past few months, which was a big hit to the gamingtorrent scene, but evenmorese to lovers of visual novels&eroge as we had huge collections on both of those sites (bitGamer & ggn). I've been an avid fan of VNs since I read muvluv and sengoku rance a few years ago and I havent stopped reading since then (and I even started learning japanese, tho thats still in the early stages). So I'm looking forward to a great time here and I'm also looking to give back and hopefully help out on some projects. Cheers
