To me it seems that some of you are trying to impose your point of view. "key is bad quality art" "key is just plain bad art" etc etc, period. Again, art is not something you can call bad or good, it depends on the person's point of view and nothing more, for example I think that the Mona Lisa is hideous in every aspect but that is just MY opinion. However, you can say that A is better than B because of x y z reason , that doesn't mean that B is bad, if you compare any of those images with this one, all of them are terrible...and the point is they are not, they are just different maybe not as good as this one but definitely they are not bad, someone might even say that they are better than this drawing and that's fine too.

Well I don't agree with your opinion but then again this things are subjective.

You should aim for something less ambitious and more manageable the idea sounds cool but I don't think that even a big company can pull this off.

This predates Kanon. Age is not really an excuse. Well, you can say that MOST of the competition did look bad back then and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong, but that's because nobody bothered spending money on competent artists except a select few studios such as Leaf. The fact that there were more incompetent artists back then than now doesn't make me want to accept incompetent art. edit: Although I praise Leaf, To Heart looked baaaaad. So they also had their rough "can't afford anyone competent" phase, but they managed to get out of that quickly. edit 2: Changed to a better example. You complain about this(because of the neck) : But not this? They are the same, the same drawings, one from leaf the other one from key.

I think people in general tends to confuse lack of quality with "weird" art style, I've read a lot of comments saying that steins;gate had some really awful quality in their drawings and that's not true at all, it's just different from the normal anime stuff you found everyday.

voiced by all means I can't even imagine clannad without sunohara's or nagisa's voices or pops(akio) saying that sanae's bread is the best one screaming and running like crazy xD

e você fala português?

英語などくそくらえ English can eat shit xD

Yeah I was just checking that... not a fan of adding the games on my own :/ they should add a catalog of games just with a tiny bits of info and so you can share scores with other uses, it needs a better score system to rate the games too.

Didn't know about this web, I had all my games on gamespot but then one day they just deleted the list maybe I will start using this web.

Compatibility mode doesn't work most of the time (same on win 7) if you can run ever 17 (without using the patch) or startrain on win 8 I will gift you a game on steam

Maybe I'm crazy or maybe win 8 doesn't like me but muv luv doesn't work on win 8 it freezes on many parts, StarTRain doesn't start at all, mostly old vns. I'm not forcing anyone to use this guide, this is for those people who are having problems running some old vn on win 8.

I have 8.1 and most of them don't work at all, ever 17 has a patch but this was just to show that you can run pretty much any vn without a problem.

lol this is from sekai project and they are giving away sakura spirit keys...

So after struggling with this awful OS that came pre-installed on my laptop and that it's a pain in the ass because it doesn't even let you do a dual boot without first installing win 7 or xp and then win 8 and not vice-versa... u.u..Thanks Microsoft I decided to make this tutorial. First off all you need to download this softs: A)Virtual Box B )XP Japanese pack C)Win xp sp2 or sp3 32. D) Winrar NOTE: I can't provide you a copy of win xp but if you search you can "buy" one from the internet really easy. First install Virtual Box, once installed follow this steps: 1)Click on new and name it, like "win" or "win xp" 2)Select 1024 and click next 3)Select create a virtual hard drive and click next 4)Select VDI 5)Dynamic allocated 6)Give it a name and select how much you want the new hard drive you are creating is going to have. This is important because aside from xp you will use this space to install your visual novels so you want to give it a fair amount, like 20-25gb. 7)Now that you have your virtual machine, click on Start(The green arrow pointing to the right), go to Devices>CD/DVD Devices>Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file and select your .iso of win xp. 8)If you did everything as I said, win xp should now be booting up so you can install it. Now just install win xp as you normally would do. 9)Now that you have your xp installed and running you need to setup the graphics. First turn off the virtual machine this is important because with your virtual machine running you can't change any settings. Go to Start>Turn off. Once is off go to Machine>Settings...>Display and click on enable 3d acceleration and put 128mb into video memory. The click on Remote display (Inside the display option) and click on Enable Server. Server port :1 Auth method :Guest Auth timeout: 5000 10)Now you want to use your games that are inside your laptop but there are not inside your virtual machine yet, so you need to share them by doing this: Go to Devices>Insert Guess additions... after installing this you will need to reboot your virtual machine. 11)Now you need to select what folder or unit you want to share of your laptop (where you have your vns) Go to Machine>Settings...>Shared Folders>double click on machines folders> now click on folder path and select your folder you wanna share. Check auto-mount and Make permanent. Reboot your virtual machine after that and now on your pc you will have the shared folder behind the virtual CD drive unit. 11)Now you need to put your system locale on Japanese (Sorry about the language my win xp is in spanish, this should be almost the same but in english) Go to control panel and select language and check the options behind the compatibility box. 11)Now click on Advance options and select Japanese from the list, win will now begin to install the language pack and will ask you to insert the cd of xp, some of them don't have the language pack so redirect to the file I told you to download in the beginning of the tutorial and start installing the pack(uncompress it first). After everything is installed, reboot your virtual pc and you are done!!! And you are don!!! no more freaking errors of compatibility!!! I tested it with ever 17, StarTRain and Natsuzora Kanata all of them work perfectly. If you want to play on full screen mode just go to View and press on the Switch to full-screen. Final note: I know this post looks awfull and it's a mess but that's the best I can do, if any mod wants to edit the post and make it "prettier" or fix my tons of grammatical horrors I don't mind at all

Guy: "Oookay. I still think they're porny." You:*spray him*

Congrats to Roach they really look amazing

Wh...why just why...

Is running fine on win 7 but like with many others vn is not working on 8.. the compatibility mode is not there on win 8 anymore(there is but it doesnt do anything really), i will try with virtual machine and tell you if it works.
