Yo, stop flaming here or this thread will end up locked. Take it to PMs if you really must, but try to tone it down a bit here.

Alright I'm joining this for now I guess, it should be interesting. Confession: I just raged for the first time in a few years and it actually feels quite refreshing. Maybe I should do it more often.

I don't think you can use wikipedia as a reliable source in a discussion. Either way, mini-games can be plot-related but in the end they're not the main genre. In the end, VNs are more of a way of telling a story, like movies and books. You can add lore in scrolls/books/reading in general in a game (Dark Souls; Lords of the Fallen), and you can also add movies (cutscenes). In the same fashion, you can add something using the VN style to your game, but it's still a video-game, not a visual novel. Still, it's still a young medium and it'll develop with time, that's for sure. Well, I honestly don't really understand most of your arguments so I might be interpreting what you're saying in a really wrong way.

I don't know much about the OELVN scene but I don't think there's literally no competent writer in it right now. I mean, it'd actually be quite impressive if there were zero capable writers in it. Maybe the issue is the one mentioned, they don't know about what they're writing, making it not as good as it could be. The moege deconstruction actually sounds pretty legit, lmfao.

Alright, getting back to the topic. I think basically all the reasons were already stated here, and I guess it'll change with time. Honestly, leaving the japanese setting would be a pretty big step towards a great development of the medium - that's how I feel at least.

Ayakashibito.

This actually looks pretty good, oh my. Great work, Ren.

Not all VNs have choices.

Good LORD!

Eu não resisti. <3

I don't know. Possibly neither. Never change, Tiago. Nya.

McDonald's heaven BibleThump. There'll be cheap fries there brother, we'll have them next time.

Thanks guys. And much <3 Tay.

I'm 100% positive this thread should just have been deleted.

RIP in pepperonis.

What a nice stream it was, many URs, some salt, an emotional rollercoaster. Link for the VOD if anyone wants to see the draws. http://www.hitbox.tv/video/610821

What's happening?

Kuu is high. GG boys, pack it up.

I'll be making some draws on stream tomorrow, more details on my Otonokizaka's thread if anyone feels interested.

My last ranked match was one year ago or something like that, but I spammed Sniper through 6.83 because I really like the hero and I knew he would be destroyed on 6.84. I'm a shameless Sniper picker. ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ༼ຈ ل͜ຈ༽ﾉ☂ ｈｏｈｏ　ｈａｈａ　ｓｈｒａｐｎｅｌヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ☂ ヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ｀、ヽヽ｀ヽ、ヽヽ｀ヽ Funny enough, I used to play a lot of core Leshrac around the beginning of 2014.
