Narcosis

I'm surprised Age suddenly began to care so much and it's suspicious. But then, if they're going to release it like that, with both all-ages and 18+ versions available and it's going to become a success, there may be an influx of interest towards decent sci-fi vn's. More interest means more potential customers and that might bring us more high quality titles in the near future. It's quite promising.

I still ended up waking in the morning to grind for Eli till the event end. I wouldn't get her if not for my spider senses premonition. CBA to post a summary at the moment, I'll post it later~

I'm was never a fan of MuvLuv, but I guess it's still better than another low budget nukige Too bad they're censoring like that, instead trying to come up with a patch; perhaps it's way too early to decide from their perspective, but fans won't be happy if they remove h-content. It's definately not a good way to start, more over when it's the fans who'll be mainly spreading the word about the game; by altering the game, they're shoting themselves in the foot.

Great. Another run-of-the-mill SRPG, no one will remember a couple months after release. Keep it up, Japan.

Used about 6 stones and I managed to catch up with the rest. I guess it will propably take another five in the evening to ensure a safe spot for T2. Not sure if I'm up to wake up early next day just before the event ends; I hate stressful grinding.

Please, for the love of gods, don't use the term "OELVN"; it's completely unofficial and sounds incredibly silly at best. Use the term "EVN" instead.

This trend has been somewhat slowly growing within the past few years. It might be temporary, but given the fact japanese market is heavily oversaturated at the moment, it's propably even harder to produce high quality vn's which at least cover the production expenses and bring in some profit to the companies. This, coupled with the everchanging trends might make a lot of devs shudder, especially when it's often just a single flop that might bring an entire studio crumbling down. I'm not surprised the quality is dropping in overall. A lot of studios simply revert to fail-safe practices, milking their franchise/flagship games as much as possible, since it's usually produces enough revenue to survive.

I may not be the most active user around, nor the most noticeable and I may ocassionally disappear for months, but I'm here on Fuwa since it's beggining and I will continue to do so. Someone needs to pull those strings from behind <3

I did a stupid mistake somewhere after the middle as well. Not like I particulary care to FC all the songs, but it's still annoying. I'm taking it easy this time - I'll use a couple of stones before the end to ensure myself T2; guess it's going to be the same for all the summer events. I don't feel like going for T1, since it's completely useless most of the times (I'd be different for UR's, but SR's aren't worth it). I have to admit those summer cards aren't that great in general (except for the Nico, she looks preety sweet), I'm not surprised people are kinda reluctant to play.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I worked on animations like these. I wrote above in plain language how is it done. Yes, it's possible in Ren'Py. And no, players actually don't care if a game is more or less animated; to them it's still a visual novel. Don't try to sound like a smart-ass. Just because you made a couple of amateur games doesn't make you a full-fledged developer.

It's hard to call it an "interactive" cutscene. It's just a bunch of bitmaps with transculency, moving and morphing on the screen.

If this clears things up, I rarely give likes. Something must be really wrong with the forums atm.

When did Fuwa became P2W?

A lot changed within the last few years, regarding the western scene; we'll propably see a lot more great titles getting translated in the upcoming days, no to mention the western indies are also improving. I wanted to like your post, but I ran out of likes for today. Must be a special day. Привет, товарищ!

Implying the vast majority of vn's aren't actually eroge. And even if you have nukige in mind, those games are still considered vn's as well; the only difference being impact on their sexual content, instead of writing. In other words, not the best kind of argument. The drawback to what happened is that there's a certain risk the new rules might be pushed and enforced in way, which might be perceived as throttling; it's preety much going to depend on whichever mod acts as a mediator and whatever subjective opinions he/she has. People can't really act in an objective manner.

It's art assets - bones, as they call them - moving around the screen in a similiar way to how flash files work. The rest of the effects is usually done either by shader post-processing or clever use of image masks.

Jokes aside, If I am to be honest about this whole issue, it's not even about lolicon, nor rule changes. It's about the staff board failing to react appropriately in the most demanding moment. Back then, when the thread appeared, mods should simply change the thread's name and adjust the wording; instead they let it fly like that. This whole thing would never happen otherwise and it's precisely this thing that bugs me and does not even get mentioned anywhere. It's not the end of the world, either. As Tay stated, don't sexualize the lolis, don't bring up the topic of pedophilia, regardless whether it's a joke or not. You're free to talk about lolis/shotas as long as you keep it civil and go along with the common sense, which is, again: DON'T POST LOLI PICS WITH SEXUAL CONTENT. I'm against censorship of any kind and as this might come as a surprise, I'm actually quite into lolis as well. I just never felt a need to post in any of the threads, or share my thoughts; it does not mean I'm entirely fond of actual changes, but not in a single way they restrict people from doing whatever they did. And yes, I don't think this will actually affect the vast majority of Fuwanovel's userbase in any way ￣ー￣

Leave my catgrills alone.

> Steve viewing the topic Well, that escalated quickly.

There's no real recipe for that. Everything depends on both story and art direction within the game. What will work in one visual novel, won't work well in another. Certain titles will look a lot more appealing with the use of Live 2D/E-mote, others can easily rely on static art without much of a loss. Whether you decide to use traditional method by utilising simple sprites and backgrounds, or go with animation is just a different way of execution; none of them is "better". VN's will always rely mostly on static art, simply because it is a lot cheaper and less time consuming to create. Character sprites are generally a lot cheaper than backgrounds or event CG's (Eden relied on these way too much, to be honest). Licensing Live 2D is expensive. E-mote is quite affordable for indie devs and comes in a unified devkit, but you still have to fork over at least 800$ for a single license. The drawback is if you ever exceed sales over a specified ammount, you have to upgrade to commercial package, which costs a lot more.

As long as I get all them catgirls, you can have the rest.

This is the kind of hot shit that makes me visit Fuwa everyday.
