poplarbrook Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Wow, I just heard of it. Haven't their Japanese HP updated? They just conducted a popularity poll but haven't released the results yet. Quote

Somebody probably rigged them to help increase those numbers. There's no way that 1691 people will respond to this poll in less than a single day. Quote
Codesterz Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Sadly I'm hoping the kickstarter doesn't go past $146,000. I don't want a new english theme song the japanese one is fine. kingdomcome and Suzu Fanatic 2 Quote
Clephas Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Please vote for an Iris after story... I honestly can't see the Aoi/Lycoris before-story being all that interesting, lol. XReaper and BookwormOtaku 2 Quote
Forgetful Frank Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 This has me interested, I'll have to read up on it! More VN's on Steam sounds like a good thing to me! Quote
Clephas Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 The backer poll is slanting pretty severely toward the Aoi/Lycoris episode... Edit: lol... sad though. The 'past' parts were actually covered pretty well in the main VN, so I honestly don't see where any important new points could be added in a Lycoris/Aoi before story. I'm interested in an Iris after-story because of the events in the Mary ending. Quote
poplarbrook Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 RIDING on a 2000 year old vampire? Sound like a boss:) But the poll is quite strange isn't it Quote

I had a lot of duplicate responses in my poll as well. Someone was flooding the poll with waves of 50 duplicates. That's why I took a screenshot of the results before the trolling began and made the graphs unusable. Google Forms doesn't appear to have good anti-trolling measures in place, at least not without requiring a Google account to vote. Quote

Google Forms doesn't appear to have good anti-trolling measures in place, at least not without requiring a Google account to vote. I think polls in general which doesn't require an account will always have a flaw in the voting system. I'm guessing that if you have an account, the record of the poll will be saved on to their server. Polls which doesn't require an account will have no data saved onto the server which means that people are able to continuously vote for the same thing. I used to think that the polls without an account were tracked by saving your IP address but I guess there's a reason why they don't do that as well. Quote
Deep Blue Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 there is a new poll now which i wont put here because the update is private so i assume only backers can vote for now (im fine with that) Quote
Clephas Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 They should have given it more than 24 hours, though... most people aren't even going to realize the poll is there before it is over. Quote
Silver95280 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 They do need to have the poll open longer; I didn't even catch it the first time it happened. 2 hours ago, Zenophilious said: Looks like they made a new poll. I think the "infinite voting" trick I found out about still works, though I can't be sure because I think someone else voted while I was trying to check. Won't be trying it again. It's a bit strange, that trick seems to work on every online poll I've encountered that doesn't require users to register. Guess it can't really be fixed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I checked, the trick still works. I didn't think it would be that easy. Quote
BookwormOtaku Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Voted again, and like before it was for an Iris after story. According to the results I got afterwards that seems to be winning by a slight margin Quote

Guess it can't really be fixed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's impossible to make a poll that doesn't allow for double voting without requiring users to register or sending out a unique code to each user that they need to enter in order to vote. Even if you try tracking the IP + saving a cookie + some other measures, that's all easily evaded by clearing all local browser data after each vote + using a proxy/VPN to change IP every time. Quote
JuicyYuuji Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Will the mini episodes have any H scenes? Quote
Clephas Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 A question for Mikandi... are you guys going to continue funding after the Kickstarter is over? Quote

MiKandi Japan Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Since we're closing in on the end of Kickstarter, there's a few things I'd like share with my friends here at Fuwanovel before we move onto the next step. If you haven't checked out our "Making of Libra" movie, please consider giving it a watch. Thanks Filmed, Edited, Directed and Produced by Project Manager, James ----- Sumimasen, obligatory promo mention incoming! m(_ _)m ------- There's an off-site promotion we've been running that's open to all backers (old and new, of any pledge level $1+): "Bring a Soldier to Battle" Giveaway. This is running now until the campaign's end in 4X hours from now. Here's how it works... Bring a friend to back Libra for at least $35. Both of you will receive a color-copied Iris shikishi ($10 value) for FREE. Then, both of you will be entered for a chance to win a rare, 60-page art book signed by Risa Miyasu-san (artist for Shuma, Calen, Mari and Iris). The photo is of Producer MOKA and Mayumi Shindo-san (voice of Mari) each holding a copy of Miyasu-san's book during the AMA we did a few weeks ago. There's no limit to how many friends you can bring. Each friend you bring, your name and theirs will enter the drawing as a couple. You bring 5 different friends, that's 5 times your name is in the drawing. If your name is drawn, you and your friend each receive a copy of Risa's 60-page, autographed art book! Once you've gotten a friend to back us, both of you should contact us as soon as possible through direct message. The giveaway will be held in the weeks follwing the Kickstarter. NOTE: This promotion is not retroactive. ----- Finally, there's that quote from Producer MOKA that I like to go back to when whenever I think about why I decided to get involved with this project. "In an environment where foreign players get Japan's newest games, that will help pull the industry into a new future. There are many makers like us, and so many games that can come to you. I want to create new moe for everybody, so please support this project, and let's make new moe together in the future. That's my hope." We know not everyone cares for Libra, or even visual novels ("What the heck are those?!?!") and that's fine. I'm simply humbled to be playing a role -- practically any role -- in bringing vn's to a place where more people can discover and *enjoy them. *I hope that's the case XReaper and Deep Blue 2 Quote
