Decay

To Heart 2 for the most part fits the bill. There are some heroines who know each other but they're all largely strangers to each other and there are no big group events or anything like that. There is drama but it's usually not significant. It is even possible to go through the game without seeing some of the heroines at all, and most others you usually only see a couple times if you're focusing 100% on someone. This probably works for Symphonic Rain but there's drama up the wazoo.

I can't. I've tried before, but no H-scene has ever turned me on enough to allow me to complete a fap.

List of translated VNs where a heroine with an eyepatch has their own route: Ef Rewrite Majikoi S There you go, that is literally everything.

It's pretty easy to get prepaid credit cards or visa gift cards these days. In the US they sell them at corner stores and drug stores and you can be of any age. So my suggestion to the young'uns who want to buy sketchy stuff would be to go that route.

I grew up with an NES and later a Genesis, a lot of the games I played were blind rentals and that kind of thing, but we got some gems. In my grade school years, I loved the obvious stuff like the entire Mario, Megaman, and Sonic series, but we also found some more obscure stuff which I took a liking to. Such as Spy vs Spy, Rygar, Blaster Master, and Adventures of Lolo. In my middle school years I was of course 2edgy4u and became obsessed with Grand Theft Auto (the first two 2D ones), I also played the hell out of my N64 and enjoyed some classics like Ocarina of Time but one of my favorites was probably Mischief Makers. Then in high school I was all about 1) Super Smash Brothers Melee (probably more time sunk into that than any other game in my life, all multiplayer with my group of friends), and 2) just a crapload of JRPGs, the one I played the most probably being Star Ocean 2 early on in high school. TL;DR: Mario, Smash Brothers Melee, GTA1. edit: Oh, and Civilization 2 demands a mention, too. These are probably the four most influential games to my adolescence.

Haha, wow, I thought I went fast when it took me a month to read all 8 episodes. Episode 3 is like a setup episode. It also introduced how absurd the action can get and had some awesome moments because of that. Episode 4 is probably my favorite, so look forward to that.

You should probably ask them how to upload games on their site, I doubt we could help you very well.

The project you're thinking of probably is dead. This is separate from the one that was announced a long while ago. edit: Actually it appears that it is indeed the same project. disregard!

I don't think anyone here has mentioned this, but it's something to keep an eye on, the team that translated Koi Iro Chu Lips has been translating an unnamed Alicesoft game for the last half year or so: http://denwatls.bravejournal.com/index.php They say it's not Rance and constitutes a pretty big genre shift from the last project (which was an honestly pretty shitty moege). No other word on what it could be.

Yeah, S is basically required reading. But I believe A-1 doesn't utilize any characters that show up in S outside of the content Wairu translated in their partial patch, so if you read that you'll be good to go. Unless it's an after story for one of S's heroines, most (all?) of A's routes take place in the S timeline pretty much just before the main route branch point. There are some characters that are only introduced in the Koyuki route in some of the later A releases, though. I guess the thing about A is that since every route is completely stand-alone, the team could avoid ones that rely on untranslated material and skip around the different releases, if they wanted to keep going after A-1 that is.

They have a test version of the first episode now so they're making progress. It will be a full feature-perfect replica of the PS3 version. They're even doing additional TLC and edit passes on the english translation.. Although one issue is that it's pretty much a full-on illegal pirate version that will not require the original games or anything, they're just packing everything into their version and that's all they'll offer. We won't even be able to link it here when it's done.

Chapter 4 is the designated Feels Chapter. Although the short glimpse you get into the life of Maria in Ch. 2 is pretty surprising, to say the least. And that fucking ending. God, I want to reread umineko again even though it's only been six months. I'm patiently waiting for that full PS3 to PC port some crazy russian fan team is working on.

Wow. And you can't say that they're incapable of offering refunds with how much money the Sakura series has raked in for them.

Is the sprite artist new for this title? Seems different than the others.

This is almost never the case, though. That new Moonstone game is kind of absurd, such originality. You better believe that Mangagamer will be all over it with how much they love all-girls schools. I don't think I can take another PE for a while.

F/SN has a very deliberate pacing to it. Even when things get crazy, they always break up the action to give us yet another cooking scene. Type-Moon takes their slice-of-life approach to chuuni very seriously, that's their whole schtick. You experience almost every waking moment of the protagonists' lives.

All of these have SOME signs of activity. Gore Screaming Show is picked up by CryingTL, Walkure Romanze had some people from the team post here and on VNDB recently about renewed activity, the TH2 guy is never going to give up, although the encubbed forum his project was based out of certainly did, and Habluka is indeed still working on Supreme Candy, albeit very slowly. Here's a bonus WIP screenshot of supreme candy posted just a few days ago: Eh..... At least Harvest Fiesta doesn't need someone good. edit: I'll throw my hat in for Concerto Note, although I still hold some hope for it. Late last year the translator said that he found an editor and they'd work getting the scripts in shape for a partial patch featuring a few routes. Then a few months of silence happened, and now their site is completely dead. I can't find any contact information for the guy at all, except for one dead IRC channel. I hope everything is still okay.

I said that the common route and the heroine routes are about the same length as the ones from GnK, the difference is that there is one less route in PE so it's shorter overall. It's seriously long, though. I managed to finish it in like... a week and a half, maybe? I remember I finished Grisaia in like six days. I guess I didn't have much else to do back then.

I've been playing Tsukihime for the first time over the last week. I feel like I had a mistaken impression of it prior to starting it. I finished the Arcueid and Ciel routes and am starting up the Akiha route now. The first two routes were alright, although it's obviously a bit rougher than Fate in most areas. At least the action is still fairly well written.

So she's like the mother from Arrested Development?

No, none of the after stories are long at all. Each one has about two or three h-scenes and about one SoL fluff scene in between each h-scene.
