I never liked using Wine, for what may be a stupid reason. A single prefix takes up so much space. If you have a few it gets out of hand quickly. I keep a separate hdd with WinXP on it to copy games to and boot to it when I want to play them. I keep it off the network as well.

Virtualbox layered mode with the vn and texthooker in the virtual machine. I don't read many VNs so haven't experimented much but this works pretty well on an otherwise shitty laptop with a lot of RAM.

Coconut is best neko.

I ended up liking it until the H-scenes come along. Granted, you can play without them but I normally still know when they happen and that kind of ruins it for me. It's almost like boding with them as daughters and then having sex with them.

That's not uncommon for Japanese games. I've even seen some where you litteraly raise a baby, feed them, potty train them, show help them to walk and everything, then fuck their brains out when they get older. So yeah nekopara could be worse.

Well gee I sure do love me my wiggly noodle people.

This sounds damn good. I can already tell I like the protagonist based off the description I read.

Getting it now, thanks!

Today I found out the VN got fully patched in my mother language, based on a proof-read translation from Moogy's leeked english patch...

And so, after all these years, here we go again at last, this time until the end.

Cheers to Wittgenstein.

I don't see why not!

UBW good ending is pretty much the epitome of happiness.

B-but what about Ilya , wormslut and the Greater Grail not being dismantled?

you are implying anyone gives a fuck about those two. and the greater grail can always be dismantled later on, not like anyone can stop those three in the end.

I lied Sumika's ending was fantastic but it felt hollow after meiya's events in the end.

I've been trying to read Period untranslated. I have to stop and look something up literally every five seconds, and there's some pretty obscure grammar in places (first time I've seen negative volitional form used in practice, for instance) but I can get by.

Also, the school nurse is ridiculously cute.

I started reading Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road some days ago, I'm at the end of the "common" route right now. I really like badass characters, fighting and being cool and such. The heroines being delinquents was actually the reason I started playing it. I enjoyed it so far, but...

The one part I didn't like was when Tsujidou wore those frilly things. In my opinion it doesn't suit her at all, I prefer her "normal" clothing by far. I waited all the time for him to say something the likes of "you look very cute, but your normal clothes suit you much better, after all", but it was just the opposite.
And there lies the rub.
I read the beginning of some review on some blog.
It seems the mc will try to talk Tsujidou out of fighting and she will try to adhere to his shitty ideals...
And they will break up...(I hate love drama, especially in this case since it is because of the crappy mc...)
But that is not my only problem, I can't imagine starting to read the route of another heroine as that would mean completely betraying her, the relationship progressed way too far already in the common route.

So I have mixed feelings; I don't want to stop reading but I don't want the story to unfold that way, either.

Reading the Android version of Chaos;Head Noah right now.
Reading VNs on the go is great and all, but I don't like the font my phone uses for Japanese text and I don't know how to change it.

Prove it.

I'm not the only one here, right? I'm just looking for a nice place to discuss Type-Moon.

The new designs look like shit.

Would Gun God be summonable under the Archer class?

The very first thing you need to know about Saki - The Memories Of Summer (夏日祭) is that it's fully translated Chinese doujin VN. You can download the translated version here:

https://truend.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/saki-doujin-game-the-memories-of-summer/
(Use the mediafire mirror).

Mad props to the trooper who translated it all by himself (apparently).

It's a game by fans for fans and you should keep that in mind when judging it.
The production values are fairly decent all things considered. Some of the sprites - like Ako's or Tacos', which is very amusing because they only have cameo roles in the game - are simply great and wouldn't look out of place place in a commercial release. Others - like Nodoka's or Kuro's, which again is fairly amusing because Kuro has her own route with 3 endings - are far worse. Some of the backgrounds look spectacular, but there are also two which are more half assed. The CGs are very uneven and generally bad. The music is decent but forgettable.

The game isn't voiced for obvious reasons but thanks to that you can read it faster. For the first time ever I used the 'auto read' option. You can adjust both the speed of that as well as how fast the text appears on screen so it's possible to find your ideal pacing. Pretty nice for a doujin release. Unfortunately the skip system is a little flawed and you should be careful when using it as it can skip unread text at times.

The translation reads well. It contains a small mistake or two (more like typos, or tiny grammar hiccups) but it looks pretty solid overall.

The VN has a bit of doujin feel to it, in a bad sense. At times the characters act out of character but generally I felt their personalities matched with what I've seen/read in the anime/manga (aside from the Kuro route maybe, which is kinda crap). The pacing is kinda all over the place - at times the game spends a lot of time on fairly mundane, everyday-life kinda stuff and yet some dramatic scenes with confessions and stuff like that are really rushed.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

I was looking for one myself yesterday. Result: プレイしたいけど中国語がわかない

I just finished reading EP8. The "trick" ending was more fun than the true "magic" ending, but I was pretty reconciled with the end. It wasn't very earth-shattering, but it was nice.

I think I just gave up on the series and the mystery. How much did Ryu just give up on actually making every room solvable? With his level of quizzes and closed room fights, the whole thing was a disappointment. I wish Shkannon had a better resolution besides one of the pair killing the other to live in the catbox.

The ending was ridiculous--I imagined that Ange had dressed up the orphans in Halloween costumes so that they were the Uroshomiya family... haha. But the only thing that felt forced was the "catbox at the bottom of the sea" = "golden rose" and Ryu's self-inserts.

The last episode returned to the premise of the first, which is my favorite, which I think is the series' only redeeming point. I miss the mystery, even if I am a fantasy fan.

Arise, thread!

Umineko is over (unless Ryukishi decides to make an extra fanservicey story like he did with Higurashi.) But 07th Expansion is still active.

Has anyone else read Higanbana? It's pretty interesting. It's got a strong Umineko feel with the mix of physical and supernatural worlds, but each part is broken into seven short stories. It almost has a Twilight Zone feel to it.

The first two parts have been released, but the project is apparently on hold right now because of another project. Part 1 is also translated into English. Just something to read if you liked Umineko and wanted something in the same vein.

>>1069

Yes, I really like Higanbana and now I'm waiting for the translation of the second night.

>another project

You're talking about Rose Guns Days.

The trial is out and the translation of the VN is halfway.
