srsly, you people need to exercise your imaginations

I just finished playing Kagetsu Tohya, and I fucking loved it. I'm moving on to Melty Blood next, does anyone know where I could download it from? I'm looking for the original because I already have Act Cadenza

Dat face

Marathoning Tsukihime in one week of christmas holidays was one of best things I have done so far. Waiting for that new pc melty release.

>>614
Is that a Virtual Boy?

So this isn't fully translated? It's just a few parts here and there?

Why do people do that?!

>>619

Yup. He has got other consoles in his room, too.

>>620

>Why do people do that?!

First of all, it's hardly something new. As for the 'why' part... Well, TakaJun has been working on it for a long-ass time and for the time being we only have 2/5 main routes and 1/6 side routes translated (and then there's True Route, too). If he were to release it once he's done with everything we'd have to wait until ~2013. This is a quite long VN you know. I'm not even sure whether he'll manage to complete Momo route this year (possible Christmas release?).

Also, I doesn't really bother me. Think of it as enforced playing order. I mean hell, the game DOES have enforced playing order (that's only for side characters and True Route but still). Sure, I would prefer to do it in other order but it can't be helped.

>>616
Looking forward to wanko's route translation.

>>607
I thought that he was very realistic, and even the most likable character.

What they did to him at the end, with the whole redemption theme, was terrible though.

I've finally played it the last couple of days. Was really depressing, especially the normal ending. The good ending at least, was relieving. Overall it's one of my favourite VNs.

Wow. I'm reading this right now and just got to the Intermezzo (intermission? so I guess it's the halfway point.) There have already been an absurd amount of tragedies, even for a disaster situation I've been chased by/pursued murder/rapists on three separate occasions now, and the head doctor of the hospital was burned to death by looters. And it's been over a month and there's no sign of helicopters or rescue people or anything. Maybe there's some kind of plot reason for it I haven't quite gotten to yet, but this is a little hard to believe in a first-world country with top-notch services like Japan. Is it really going to get worse than this?

The writing is good, though, I guess. And the characters are interesting, especially Takuma.

Done with the normal ending. Well, that was pretty awful. To be honest, I didn't feel like Takuma's development in the third and fourth acts was that realistic. I get what they were going for, the loser-type character finally getting some power and going completely nuts with it, but it got over the top. Also, the igloo guy is my favorite character.

Still very good, though. Not the best VN I've ever read, but I liked it a lot. Looking forward to what's hopefully a less depressing "good" end.

they never released a none-ero version?

>>642
If they did, it wasn't translated. All I see are patches. The one I used was by Katsukasa.

What patch did you use? I think I used the mpatch that added all of the Realta Nua stuff but I can't be sure, it was a while ago.

>>651
No special name, just Fate/Stay Night non-ero patch. Katsukasa posted it on the mirrormoon forums. It replaces the H scenes with black screens.

...an eight-string guitar? Is she planning to start a Meshuggah cover band?

This is a very short teaser, but it does a good job of making me interested for the final product.

It's so interesting to me to see how westerners absorb anime and then draw influence from it. In this case it's even kind of recursive since this is clearly influenced by The Matrix, which was influenced by Ghost in the Shell.

Now then, I just ended reading this and I've got to say that it is, in my opinion, an overall good preview. I found myself dumbfounded by how much of a teenager's failed love life it looked to be before anything actually happened. I found the music to be overall well made, though it seemed kind of out of place sometimes, though I've got to hand it for the art, quality and style, and the directing of it, as it looked very well made. I just honestly expect the story goes some other way on the finished work and not to a bland and drag hero-wannabe protagonist in a sci-fi dictatorial alternate universe.

Oh, I saw someone say 'I'm gonna read Cradle Song now' few days ago. At first I read it as Cat's Cradle, didn't bother to google it when I realized that's not it.

But yeah, good to know, thanks.

Argh, it ended on me right as it was getting good. I can't believe I didn't see that "twist" coming. Derp.

I'm really looking forward to the release of this game. I'll buy no matter the price. The art looks really nice and the music fits almost perfectly. Characters look like they won't disappoint either. It's so nice to see an American made VN that doesn't try to be Japanese and has quality art. Mad props for thinking about all us Linux users too.

But man I need to get a new video card. It's absolutely pathetic when low-level VN graphics can't run smoothly.

>>627
It's not.

>>627
99% sure it won't be. At the beginning of the post, it says all titles will be 18+, and the Kikokugai remake is all-ages.

Um, OK.

If they ever get around to it, sure. I won't hesitate to throw my money at them.

Saya no Uta + Hanachirasu - Fall 2011, $30
Django + Kikokugai - 2012, Price TBA
Sumaga - 2012, Price TBA

Pretty bumped. I don't like Key much, but I'll be reading this for Romeo and Ryu07. Sucks that Rewrite and Dengeki Stryker are out within a couple days of each other, but oh well.

Game is finally out on hongfire.

Grab it guys!

Any impressions?

Hahaha, oh wow. I'm so tempted to read this. It's probably more entertaining than whatever it's like untranslated, anyway.

>>605
Yeah, she's got a route.

Could someone direct me to a download or torrent of Flyable Heart? The only ones I've been able to find are either out of seeds or are not compatible with the English patch due to different versions.

>>505
but Saya is fully patched...
are you japanese (fluent) yourself?

>>506
>are you japanese
I'm German, but yes, I can read Japanese

I ran many VNs on my dual boot Arch/Gentoo box before installing 7 so I have some experience I can share. All of them were translated.

Insani releases native Linux versions of almost all their translations. Narcissu 2 is like this too IIRC. You can actually use the statically linked Linux executable of (P)ONScripter to run any (P)O/NScript game such as Tsukihime, Tsukihime PLUS+DISC, Kagetsu Tohya and Ballad of an Evening butterfly (saves will be dot files on your home folder, tipically .gamename for ONScript games and .randomcharacters for NScript games). Download it at http://onscripter.unclemion.com/releases/ (if unsure get http://onscripter.unclemion.com/pub/onscr/onscripter-en-linux-i386-20110413.tar.bz2 unpack it and copy onscripter-en to the game folder and run said executable).

Kirikiri games such as Fate/Stay Night tend to run fine through wine as the engine itself is open-source, although some proprietary extensions (such as some F/SN effects) can bring trouble. Just save often, ctrl through the problematic effects and backlog it. I got this problem about four times and I got all endings (plus tiger dojos) so it's perfectly playable.

Nitro+ games are weird. Saya ran fine through wine but with a few random crashes. Kikokugai refused to run most of the time, but when it did I completed the game experiencing no further trouble. Chaos;Head patched fine (the bat didn't work, I just did everything manually) but the game itself didn't work (main menu had no buttons at all).

Ever17 simply didn't run. SWAN SONG ran fine under wine, though it was annoyingly slow during effects (such as the earthquake near the start). Sharin no Kuni worked like a charm with wine, as did Planetarian. Inganock, Wanko to Kurasou and Utawarerumono are three games that I can't remember where I played. IIRC, Utawarerumono ran fine with wine, Inganock and Wanko failed.

That's pretty much all I can say. Do note that this was done with old versions of wine, so your mileage may vary. Oh, and I used the native cdemu to emul

Uhm...Linux user here for like 2 decades. I've never had any issues reading VNs with just a simple Wine installation.

I don't know a damn thing about sportsball and I still find this a little silly.

Just finished the main story end. Fantastic.

>>537
I also finished it recently but with the bad ending from Kanon.
