Visual Novel Multiplayer—Game Night

[Guest]

The closest thing to a multiplayer visual novel is......................livestream!

See Nukocafe http://www.twitch.tv/nukocafe'>http://www.twitch.tv/nukocafe (was streaming koi to senjyo to chocolate not too long ago)

I'm sure it's not too hard to set up PC game and livestream it,

Now all you have to do is set yourself up an account at http://www.twitch.tv/ then once we've subscribed, we will all get an email notification whenever you go live.

Anyone up for doing some sessions? It should be fun~ <3

It's pretty cool to livestream, but I think it's too boring to livestream visual novel, but it might be fun.

[Tay]

Could be real fun

Count me in.

[Uuchujin]

Seems like a pretty fun idea. Though I'm not sure how many people would actually watch a live stream of a VN

[Ryoji]

The VN's are non-translated? If thats the case, im out, my japanese is subpar at the moment. Other then that it sounds amazing!

[Joachim]

I love that idea ! I would recommend a silly vn, with dubious quality and loaded with clichés, that way people would easier get involved, and have fun at the same time. We need a courageous soul to host it though, and if nobody wants I guess we have to designate that person .

[okami55]

I would like too. Would it be any VN of our choosing or would we vote on it in a group? I was thinking of doing a few VN lets plays on Youtube too.

I think that playing serious and really good vn will be hard to comment about, because people are too much immersed in the story. People won't dare speaking because you know, if you don't say something at least intelligent you are completely ruining the mood . And I believe people prefer to play this kind of tear inducing games alone .

If the story is heavy in tropes though, with caricatural heroines and situations of dubious quality, people have much more material to talk about, and they don't need to think about too intelligent stuff either so they can relax a bit. It would be fun to choose the routes as well, with a vote or something !

I want to see the best of the worst kind of games. To me that would be pretty epic to experience it with you guys !

If 18+ content is allowed or if there's at least an 18+ section on there.. you could stream certain nukige so we can all laugh at and ridicule the over the top ideas implemented in the writing. ww

[Joachim]

I found this article on google. Porn is not allowed, but you can have nudity…

If you are streaming a video game that is not a porn based game, as in, the fact that it has nudity is not one of it's main featured attractions, you will not be asked to stop, and you will not be punished.

In the case of the vn it is highly debatable I guess. It is at least worth asking them if everyone is on board with your idea.

[ElectroNick]

I was doing something like this on GoogleHangout awhile back. It worked alright, but this sounds like it will be better.

[Guest]

you would probably stream english version VNs?

[InvertMouse]

If there are any locals here who manage to set up a stream, yeah, I'm up for dropping by to hang out for a bit . Playing through a VN from start to finish is probably too much, though. Maybe a shorter game? If it's a VN I happen to like, I do enjoy hearing about what other people have to say about it.

[Saber]

I have watched Nukocafe several times, and one of the things we could really improve on is the interactions to the viewers. We should plan a set time, so everyone interested will know.

On that note, once I get a better internet plan, I might do some VN streaming, perhaps based on votes, or otherwise stream some VN that I am currently playing.

P.S. The usual number of people watching Nukocafe's stream (when I saw it) was around 10 or less. We need to increase the awareness~

Just throwing this out there.... Katawa Shoujo?

PS: I'm starting to really get excited about this idea. Not only will we finally hear each others' voices, but we can start calling it "Fuwa Night" and hold "Fuwa Parties".

Good luck matching up the timezones... remember Fuwanovel is an international site.

[InvertMouse]

Yeah, I'd be up for this Fuwa Night/Party thing XD. But yes, the timezone issue is something to think about. Having it on weekends would be a start, I guess. Maybe alternate between different times so nobody misses out or something. Just some thoughts.

[Tay]

Speaking only for me: I'm fine with Australia time, as my work keeps me up late. I'm in the US, so anything in the middle is even less than no problem.

InvertMouse's idea is, as always, a great solution as well.

I live in Australia as well so that makes two votes B). Any other Aussies around ?

[Saber]

well, I just returned from Aussie, but I am lcurrently living in Australia, so I can definitely stream something. I am in indonesia right now though, so I'll get a better ISP first~

[starfighter9]

Singapore time is GMT+8 so it should be within 2 hours of Australia time (which part of Australia time are you guys referring to btw, as i recall it ranges from GMT +8 to +10), so that time won't be a problem for me although i probably won't be up for this within the next few weeks due to year end exams. It's a nice idea though and could be very fun.

It's GMT +10 for me .

If anyone wants to read Narcissu or ONE, I'll be happy to try and stream them *nobody cares XD*.

[InvertMouse]

Guess I might as well revive this old topic XD. I just found out about TwitCast. It lets you stream stuff after authenticating via Twitter. Would anyone be interested in this? I'd be up for streaming something once I have things all set up B).

[Steve]

Hehe I was streaming h-scenes from VNs to friends via twitch.tv xD However I had to password protect the stream because that content is not allowed there xD

And well as for VNs and other singleplayer games - I just take my own time with it and enjoy it solo, never watching stream.

Multiplayer games are different, I often watch starcraft 2 etc.

[meru]

I've never tried this, but it sounds fun XD Is the chat via mic or text??
