Mr Poltroon

Not legally it wasn't. Edit: I think? I honestly don't know. All I knew was that the game was only licensed on console.

Patently false as I exist and haven't read it for I dislike VNs on console. I will now finally read it.

Goddammit, Japan.

I will recommend Chrono Clock here.

This is true. From what I've seen in testing, everyone charges right into this ending. I will probably add such a prompt, but ideally, I will write it such that the player still feels they really want to see where this goes, so they're 'rewarded' for their inquisitiveness. Then again, screwing yourself by grasping at straws was the point in some ways, but I enjoy giving the player choice, so I will. The first CE accepts a profile plus a bunch of other evidence. This testimony was meant to be the only one that required the profiles, and it'd catch people off-guard. I also like this contradiction because it's both direct and indirect. 'I didn't X' vs. 'I don't know'. This case was submitted as an entry to a competition named "I Want To Believe" where the point was to make a mystery out of supernatural elements. To quote them: " In this comp, we want you to create a game that introduces supernatural elements into an otherwise mundane world...or does it? " And so, I indulged in ambiguity. Everything about this case was left ambiguous, pretty much.

You have no idea how happy your post has made me. Replies will come later when the aaonline site goes back up (it seems to be down temporarily right now).

brings out the bacon

Ladies and Gentlemen. It has been two years since I last released a Fan Case. Astonishing. I have managed to take double the amount of time to produce something half the size. This 'Fan Case' is a case for Ace Attorney written by yours truly. It has been written using an online case maker. In my magnanimosity, I am sharing it here. Features: Vampires (Probably) Mind-Reading (Maybe) Ghosts (Supposedly) Anti-Climaxes (Unquestionably) If you're looking for any of these things, play my trial! If you're not, play it anyway, because I'm so bad at writing it might not even have them! You must simply afford a fee: Your time. I would accept nothing less than your most valuable commodity, after all. If you happen to not know how to play a fan case of a game you've never heard of on a case maker you do not know how to use (What incompetence. Get on my level) I have produced a tutorial just for the likes of you. Updated just today! What are you waiting for? Go over to this other thread and play it now! All you need is to click the link under the section designated: "Link:" Ace Attorney Online is the website, forum, community, and free online case maker I used to create this fan case. If you have any criticism, opinions, want to complain about the fact that I reused this entire section from my last thread, or just want to flame me, please leave your comments on either this thread or the other one I linked to. Thanks for playing! ...If you do play, that is.

Realise that I am just as likely to start skipping the gameplay if it doesn't grab me intensely or if it proves too time consuming. Thankfully, I hear the game is fine with me doing that.

I am genuinely hyped. It's actually quite strange, considering how much content I am bound to skip.

Okay. And what would a Romance-SoL lover think about it?

For clarity's sake, he likely meant a mix of Grisaia no Kajitsu (The Fruit of Grisaia) and Sharin no Kuni (The Girl Among the Sunflowers).

I'm sure everyone can guess what I'll be heading straight towards.

Played the demo, and yeah, it's given me a good impression of the title. I'd be very interested in playing it.

Would I like those games? I've been considering buying the two of them for a while, but I prefer romance over story and I'm not sure how console games deliver on that front. (I haven't read spoilers, evidently)

As The Fruit of Grisaia is licensed, we recommend you contact the support teams from wherever you bought it. Assuming you bought it from Sekai Project/Denpasoft (who localised it), you might attempt to contact them on twitter or their support page. We will not be offering help for licensed titles.

I cannot teach you to be an editor. In fact, I believe no one can through simply conversing in a forum. If you decide to spend a couple of afternoons reading articles on editing, you may come to have a better understanding than I. Which still does not mean you would be able to do it. Fred said last time you must have a love of words, and that rings true. You will have to care about the order the words appear in, how many adverbs you've been using, if certain words have been appearing too often, among many other things. You will have to actually care to try and understand if something reads better some other way. If it can be made better and if you can come up with how. In fan translation, though, it's generally just enough that the sentences can be understood.

That will depend. In fan translation, basically no translators are simultaneously good translators and good writers (the ones who are tend to get hired or make it their career). This means that a competent editor will be changing or rewriting practically every line, for one reason or another. As for the 'simple' sentences. As I said, that depends. People keep pointing you to Fred and Darbury's guides for a reason. Seemingly 'fine' and 'translated' sentences can always be made 'better' by a competent editor, but not everyone can do so. You can probably read read read and practice practice practice until you're able to, but a lot of people don't do so, naturally. What is editing, you asked? Also, please do not go off-topic. Any personal conversations can be done via PM.

In broad terms, an editor's job is to help the writer better express himself (in English - in our case). This applies to translations where the translator is essentially assuming the role of a writer. In fan translations, the translator may not be fully fluent in English, often degenerating the editor's job into rewriting the translations in better sounding English. Editing is different from reading or understanding the purpose of edits. Even if you are capable of telling that there might be a better way to express a sentiment in a line, that does not mean you will know how. Even if you understand how one line reads better than another, that does not mean you will 1)identify the need to change the line 2)be capable of doing so for the better. What, exactly, making something 'read better' or make it 'better expressed' is a bit more complicated and I'd even claim it is subjective on some levels.

I'm also interested in why you believe the romance will be lesser. I actually thought it would be greater, given the premise. I'm more referring to amount of time spent on romance over quality, exactly. I dislike drama, for instance.

Happy birthday @Ranzo.

I may follow the recommended route order if there is one. Should there not, I don't necessarily start by the heroine I prefer. I tend to start with the heroine the protagonist seems to have more events with, or the first he gets close to. In short, I start by the one the VN seems to be pushing me towards. Of course, this can change drastically depending on which choices I pick, and I do pick them based on my preferences.

Might you be referring to this one? RPG Puzzle game Demon World Cave Lulu Farea has been translated, and, despite not being a real VN, is one of my favourite monster girl games, where it's not just a shouta and a bunch of femdom. The game itself is also on sale right now on some online retailers.

Yes and no. The 'highest score possible' is when you see the last event and are presented with the possibility to confess from there on. It can't go any higher or any lower from there. In that sense, yes. The walkthrough has enough choices to see all events and confess. The only thing the choices actually affect is how fast you see the events, and the only limit you have is time. If you choose bad choices all the time, you won't see all the events before the end of the time limit the game gives you. So, there may be certain choices that give you more affection than others, meaning you can confess faster, but the only way to know exactly which would be to have access to the code itself or check way way too many combinations. Even if the end conversation changes, it's impossible to tell which gives more affection than others when they're both positive.
