For web-hosting you have the choice of hosting the servers (Digitalocean or Linode) and managing them yourself or buy a hosting package from sites like Newgrounds or Namecheap (Bluehost // GoDaddy are terrible don't bother)/ Choice of CMS (Wordpress) There's a billion themes available on wordpress that has drag and drop like Wix and allows alot more customization that doesn't ruin your website's SEO. You can probably set this up in a few hours. The design of the website will depend on whether u know how to customize the CSS or you'll just have to look for the perfect theme and do plug and play. Lots of plugins available. For me I host my websites on Digitalocean and manage it myself. Ghost You can buy ghost hosting from https://ghost.org/pricing/. Ghost is mostly used for blogging but maybe you can purchase a theme or so to make it function as ur game's website. I could set up stuff for you but it won't be free though if you find these too complicated

Before you release your demo you should try to move out of Wix to something else like Ghost or Wordpress. Wix is really bad in terms of website design and is terrible for SEO.

Is this doable @Arcadeotic. An Avatar of Selphine(Blonde) or Ritona(Purple Hair)

What's hard is remembering the billions of kanjis everywhere.

@Dergonu I'm in the process of adding official purchase links where they could buy visual novels. I'm currently working on developing another feature which is to add objects to brackets where users can decide what is the best thing + commenting. Conjurer's bracket is the raw form of what I'm developing. Hey everyone! It's been awhile and I have more free time to work on the site now and here's a list of the more important changes that I have done recently. Ajaxifying adding visual novels to your list (favourite,status,rate). Searching for visual novels now show an image and clicking on it brings you to the page. Added a VN API" https://visualnoveler.com/api/vns/search/:search where :search is the query that you are making which will return a JSON object. Example Search: https://visualnoveler.com/api/vns/search/sharin%20no%20kuni%20himawari You can add notes to the visual novel library and *TO BE DONE* add a custom full screen background to your library. Hovering over favourites / related VNs now display the name of the visual novel. Pages are mostly mobile responsive now. You can login / create accounts from Google+ or Facebook Improved display of the visual novel pages.

Any updates on the project? It looks pretty promising

@Josephl64 I fixed the wrong CG for Sengoku Rance. There's abit of a learning curve to learn how to use the admin dashboard properly and if people post here, I'll make the edits still. But then again if there are people who want to be actively involved in the site's development, it'll be great if they let me know. @Dergonu 1) It's intended to show new visual novels and also visual novels that are newly added to the site. However, right now it's just showing all visual novels which are paginated by the links and will be fixed when other issues are done first. 2) Ratings are based off VNDB's average vote ratings. Unfortunately, the internal DB of VNDB doesn't handle VNs with low votes well so that will have to be manually fixed. 3) Do you know any comprehensive lists that contains a list of licensed visual novels? Right now there are 3 states for a visual novel. Ongoing,Translated, and Not Translated. This should be good enough to let people know about the state of the visual novel. I have also added a new section whereby you can purchase the visual novel through legal means, like JList, JASTUSA, Mangagamer and so on. This are all set manually in the database so it takes alot of work to complete.

Is this what you are looking for? http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=GAME-0010977

What do you need help with?

I think she's fine as it is. Visual novels don't have to be realistic and I never wanted them to be and her character seems alright for me.

I managed to finish up a couple of things this week on the website and upgraded the servers as well so here's a list showing the more important changes. Updates will be less often since I have to complete my mandatory conscription next week . By the way, I redesigned the main page of the website to one that uses the Koi Choco wallpaper because it looks beautiful. The new page should look alot better than the previous one. New Old Main stuff Database is populated, it's cleanup time. (About 1500++ Visual novels in the database)Added VN route walkthroughs in Fuwanovel to the website, a sample can be seen here Added a main library section alongside with the previous library filters. DemoAdded Google+ and Facebook Authentication so people don't have to fill in forms anymoreAdded filter for visual novelsAdded Translated VN sectionOther less important stuff Add Search + AutocompleteAdd Franchises for VNsUI changes to the VN columnsMobile responsive VN pageThe next major upcoming changes would be the Contest section where people would be able to create a bracket to determine their favourite character/VN (Maybe other stuff) or do a simple poll instead if they find it too complex.

I fixed those issues just now. The main problem now is that some of our older entries that were keyed in a few weeks ago differs from how we organise our format for the screenshots so I'm looking to clean all the visual novel entries today. Do you think it's better to have fanarts , etc etc on the Other Screenshots if they are of high quality? I'm standardizing the four screenshots under the description to be of game screenshots. @Dreamysyu, I managed to fix those entries just now .

We don't have anybody helping us in regards to that category. Would you be interested in helping? I'm aware of the Grisaia no Meikyuu bug now, I will fix it soon..

Can you link me or direct me to those offending screenshots? There are some visual novels that I haven't played and I'm unaware of whether they are spoilers or not. These points are great suggestions, I'm looking to work on those once I have patched up all the visual novels in my database and collaborating with Fuwanovel for these would be on my list. Yes everything will be corrected when its launched. @Firecast. An indie section will be added once the polish has been done for visual novels in the site. I can't give a timeframe because right now the site still needs alot of work and the indie section isn't a priority for now. The website will be mobile friendly and I will develop the apps for it as well when everything is polished and good. Like this

Nothing has been finalized yet and everything can change, there will be mistakes with each visual novel as I'm developing and managing the website so there's a huge shortage on manpower. Right now I'm just inputting data inside along with my friend and errors will be fixed when most of the database is populated. Actually the website isn't released yet, at the homepage it's under construction and you can only navigate through the website if you key in through the address bar. Everything's a Work In Progress at the moment. For Maou, that's because the website is in pre-alpha The difference is that for [Redacted], I guess they are using some sort of template in Drupal and usually templates are hard to edit / customize. As for AnimeCharacterDatabase, that's a full fledged DB for storing as much information as possible whcih is similar to AniDB. That's not what I plan to do with Visualnoveler. We are taking information not only from one site since they don't have the required formats that I'm using. For example AnimeCharacterDatabase has posters that are too small to be used properly even with Waifu2X and that the characters lack descriptions. [Redacted] doesn't have character listings as well.

Yes, there will be separate subcategories of visual novels such translated visual onvels, visual novels with ongoing translation, new releases, etc etc.

Hello everyone, I am currently developing a new website called Visualnoveler which is for people to track and discover visual novels. We recently finished implementing a translation status tracker. The weekly translation text version can be found here. An example of how a visual novel translation status page would look like (Astral Air) for example. Here are some sample pages of the current pre-alpha website. Main Features Tracking Visual Novels - You can create your own list of visual novels and compare it with your friends. Discover Visual Novels (Ongoing) - Visual novels are sorted by genres, walkthroughs, translation status, ratings and so on User Profiles - Manage your lists,post status updates or write reviews about visual novels. https://visualnoveler.com/vns https://visualnoveler.com/vns/if-my-heart-had-wings https://visualnoveler.com/vns/clannad Some possible questions 1) Why create Visualnoveler if there's VNDB? If you want detailed information about specific Visual Novels, VNDB is good for that. Visualnoveler aims to provide "easy to digest" information for people who are looking for new visual novels. Visualnoveler provides a new sleek and modern UI for people to track and discover visual novels.. However, since the website is in pre-alpha status, there are still plenty of features not implemented or may break without warning. 2) I can't see anything related to tracking and discovering? Tracking features can only be seen if you are registered in the website. For developers Curious about how the website is built? It is open source and built with Rails at https://github.com/wraithseeker/Visualnoveler
