Here we go again.
1. I prefer spriteless protagonists who you can only see in CGs or scenes opposite to his point of view.
2. 89. My goal is to play as much VNs as Kaimax =P
3. Story, Ero
4. I believe that that's very relative. A VN can have lots of animated content, videos, larger CG's and so on. If the size justifies the quality and the content of the game for me it's fine.
5. False. I like to explore new things.
6. -
7. False. As I said on 6, I like to explore new things and that includes personalities, fetishes, whatever.
8. -
9. False. See 7.
10. -
11. It's kind of rare. I usually just visit translation projects for VN.
12. Even more rare (must work on that).
13. I don't have much experience with english VN and the ones I usually read are freeware so I can't really give a straight answer, however, I think that if the ones creating the english VN consider how the fans outside japan are reacting to some works of japanese companies, they may have a better idea of what will please those fans. Of course, inovation is also a good thing.
14. I'm kind of random with VN and I can cope even with content that I'm not confortable with (like bloody gore, rape, tentacles, NTR) if the VN doesn't really go overboard with it. But scat is basically a no.
15. So nostalgic (makes me remember higurashi). I like it. I think that it's well organized and the background pic seems to set a good mood. Also, the effect behind "Mitsubachi When They Cry" gives a better presentation to the title (I also like the font used). As for the buttons I'm only a bit reluctant with the image surronding them but it's not bad (besides, for now I can't come with a better one. It's just my tastes).
16. Good ^_^ She's cute.
17. Don't know how it is the Canadian climate. I might do some research on that.
18. Never heard that and taking into account that I don't know the color of the canadian flag the only colors were red and white. After checking, they're the colors of the flag lol
19. I like it. It's different from the usual and I like that. Besides, I also think that it gives a better mood depending on the story.

High Priest of Loli
1. Do you prefer visual novels which show the protagonist's sprite in most the scene's he's in, like Battler from Umineko? Or do you prefer spriteles protagonists who you could only see in CGs or scenes opposite to his point of view?
Spriteless is preferred, as VNs are usually presented from the protagonist's point of view. You don't see yourself like this, after all.
2. How many visual novels do you recall you have played?
No idea, let me check VNDB... 63, including two partial releases.
3. Of those vn that you played, what made you most want to download them?
Story and/or CG. Occasionally just the fact that they were available, though.
4. What file size is "too much" to download a visual novel?
There is no "too much".
5. "I would only download a visual novel where the drama or themes appeals to my particular interests" TRUE/FALSE?
False. I've downloaded plenty of VNs not like that. Some were still quite enjoyable, others not. You never know unless you try, though.
6. What kind of drama or themes?
Can't really point out anything...
7. "I would only download a visual novel where the character's fetishes appeal to my interests" TRUE/FALSE?
False, same as above.
8. What kind of fetishes?
Easier to ask what I don't like, and even then I don't always mind it in VNs.
9. "I would only download a visual novel where the character personalities appeal to me?
False again, there are usually too many personalities to skip a VN because I don't like one character.
10. What kind of personalities?
Most, again.
11. How much do you READ WIP topics for VN projects in message boards?
Occasional visitor on the Katawa Shuojo forums, not much else.
12. How much do you RESPOND to WIP Visual Novel topics?
See above.
13. In all honesty. Do you feel English Visual Novels are lower quality? What could make you play them?
Sadly, yes. There are a few exceptions to be released (Katawa Shoujo, Cradle Song), but most of the existing English VNs are average at best.
14. I will not play a game with any of this content:
[ ] - Any 18+ sexual content
[ ] - Bloody gore
[ ] - Psychology horror
[ ] - Politics
[ ] - Incest
[ ] - Twincest
[ ] - Heavy drug use (Recreational)
[ ] - Criticism of Abrahamic religion
[ ] - Depictions of underage sex
[ ] - Rape as drama
[ ] - Other (Specify?)
See my reply to question 5.
15. Impressions from the title screen? (Minus the filler copyright info...) Image.
Reminds me more of older VNs, but not bad.
16. Impressions from the sprite style? Image.
Could use some work, but again, not too bad.
17. Ideas for winter attire (Coats, etc...) in Canadian climate?
Ask a Canadian / look at pictures of Canada. Should give you the most realistic result.
18. What colors do you think of when you hear "Canadian Christmas!"
The usual white, green, red, brown. Christmas is Christmas everywhere.
19. Impressions on the Higurashi-inspired BG style? Image.
Looks nice. Not enough color in this one, though. Not sure how well it works with the brighter colors of the sprites, but I'm sure this can be balanced.

[x] NTR
15) Not bad.

17) No... I don't even have seasons here.
18) For some reason, red and blue. Not specified to "Canadian Christmas", but all.
19) No problem.

1. Depends on the game really. The reason Battler works is because he has such a huge speaking roll and throughout the game the play feels more like a bystander than Battler himself. Usually its best to only show the protagonist in cg (but make sure he has an actual face).
2. Ugh, do I really have to count?
3. Nothing much. I play almost anything though I really like rpg elements.
4. Stupid question
5. Meh. Depends on how whimsical I am that day.
6. I like dark games, corruption of characters (alignment changes ie. good->evil), murder, blah blah blah, dark undertones, blah.
7. See Q5
8. See Q7
9. Well obviously not since I played FSN. Shirou is so stupid all the time.
10. If you are trying to come up with a protagonist you should not be asking others. Instead, make a game that builds off of the protagonist you want to have. The way you are going you are going to make a faceless, nameless, silent protagonist that really has no appeal or depth at all.
11. Well a lot since I'm a part of one.
12. See Q11
13. In all honesty. Do you feel English Visual Novels are lower quality? What could make you play them? They are of a lower quality, but that is just because people who do not really know what they are doing are making the games. If you can write well and create appealing characters, places, plots, and other major factors of a story, your game should be fine.
14. NTR+scat
15. could be better
16. not bad
17. pea coats look boss
18. Why would I ever think Canadian Christmas?
19. I really don't like it. If you have the time to make a bg all shaded and blurry, you should have the time to make something that actually looks detailed.

19. It's fine, but I don't think it would go with the character design you showed. The character would stand out far too much. They need to almost mesh together to create an image, but with that background, I would barely notice the background at all.

1. Do you prefer visual novels which show the protagonist's sprite in most the scene's he's in, like Battler from Umineko? Or do you prefer spriteles protagonists who you could only see in CGs or scenes opposite to his point of view?
Spriteless who can only be seen in CGs
2. How many visual novels do you recall you have played?
Hmm 1, 2, 3.. okay I don't actually. Check here. http://vndb.org/u16692/list
3. Of those vn that you played, what made you most want to download them?
Graphics first thing, and second, plot. If the sypnosis isn't interesting, I'd stay away even if the art is good.
4. What file size is "too much" to download a visual novel?
From my personal preference, 3G+. But this is hard to say since it depends on the VN itself, if it have a lot of scenes, videos and other high quality resources, it is understandable if it is big. But for my own personal preference, 3G+.
5. "I would only download a visual novel where the drama or themes appeals to my particular interests" TRUE/FALSE?
False. I also give quite a lot of priority on the art too. There are a few VNs which I played just for the art.
6. What kind of drama or themes?
Anything's fine, though try to be as original as possible. Even using a generic theme, the way you execute it would turn into another thing altogether.
7. "I would only download a visual novel where the character's fetishes appeal to my interests" TRUE/FALSE?
False. Like I said above, I prioritize plot and art, the rest are more secondary.
8. What kind of fetishes?
If I were to say, yuri, if that even count as one. I don't mind any actually except for scat or guro.
9. "I would only download a visual novel where the character personalities appeal to me?
False. See above.
10. What kind of personalities?
If I were to say, I prefer the protagonist to be cool, strong and decisive, but like I said, it's not secondary.
11. How much do you READ WIP topics for VN projects in message boards?
Almost never. I also rarely visits translation projects unless it's the ones I'm REALLY looking forward to (currently Little Busters and Steins;Gate)
12. How much do you RESPOND to WIP Visual Novel topics?
Never did any of the sorts.
13. In all honesty. Do you feel English Visual Novels are lower quality? What could make you play them?
Not sure what you mean by this since the "English" visual novels I played are translated from Japanese ones, so their origin are Japanese anyhow.
14. I will not play a game with any of this content:
Scat, guro (refer to above)
15. Impressions from the title screen? (Minus the filler copyright info...) Image.
Simple. Pretty nice though I'm not sure if the general background and all that relates to your story.
16. Impressions from the sprite style? Image.
Pretty good actually, but needs more shading. The colors are too "one-layer" and monotone so it lacks dimension.
17. Ideas for winter attire (Coats, etc...) in Canadian climate?
Fur coats, scarf and beanie
18. What colors do you think of when you hear "Canadian Christmas!"
White
19. Impressions on the Higurashi-inspired BG style? Image.
To be honest, I don't like it. Try to make it more detailed and dimensional. The skies can be less "blank" and stuffs. Hmm.. try to think of realism. They are reflections, colors, shadows and all that. Try to incorporate all those into your art.
Spriteless who can only be seen in CGs
2. How many visual novels do you recall you have played?

7. "I would only download a visual novel where the character's fetishes appeal to my interests" TRUE/FALSE?
False. Like I said above, I prioritize plot and art, the rest are more secondary.
8. What kind of fetishes?
If I were to say, yuri, if that even count as one. I don't mind any actually except for scat or guro.
9. "I would only download a visual novel where the character personalities appeal to me?
False. See above.
10. What kind of personalities?
If I were to say, I prefer the protagonist to be cool, strong and decisive, but like I said, it's not secondary.
11. How much do you READ WIP topics for VN projects in message boards?
Almost never. I also rarely visits translation projects unless it's the ones I'm REALLY looking forward to (currently Little Busters and Steins;Gate)
12. How much do you RESPOND to WIP Visual Novel topics?
Never did any of the sorts.
13. In all honesty. Do you feel English Visual Novels are lower quality? What could make you play them?
Not sure what you mean by this since the "English" visual novels I played are translated from Japanese ones, so their origin are Japanese anyhow.
14. I will not play a game with any of this content:
Scat, guro (refer to above)
15. Impressions from the title screen? (Minus the filler copyright info...) Image.
Simple. Pretty nice though I'm not sure if the general background and all that relates to your story.
16. Impressions from the sprite style? Image.
Pretty good actually, but needs more shading. The colors are too "one-layer" and monotone so it lacks dimension.
17. Ideas for winter attire (Coats, etc...) in Canadian climate?
Fur coats, scarf and beanie
18. What colors do you think of when you hear "Canadian Christmas!"
White
19. Impressions on the Higurashi-inspired BG style? Image.
To be honest, I don't like it. Try to make it more detailed and dimensional. The skies can be less "blank" and stuffs. Hmm.. try to think of realism. They are reflections, colors, shadows and all that. Try to incorporate all those into your art.

Oh.. Wow.. This is a REALLY late bump ya did thar! ^^^ xD
But since it's bumped, might as well post a treat for people who aint see:
And some extra goodies:
The decision long ago was made to create a visual novel about modern day issues such as exploring drug culture (and NOT condemning it!), bullying, identity, HIV, while also engaging in much more political matters such as human experimentation by the government, and the crisis of our dissolving liberties today.
The Visual Novel does NOT try to shove politics down your throat either, but rather it simply questions judgment in general instead! The most relevant issues are drug users being treated as second-class citizens, and Xenophobia in our culture in general.
The main heroine is what can only be described as a "vampire" in the most down to earth setting possible, leading to a very different, and medical interpretation rather than "fantasy" vampires. This plays greatly into the Xenophobia issue.
The setting of Quebec and the Montreal region is quite important, because that is where one of the most horrific MKUltra fronts took place, with hundreds of innocent Montrealers harmed at the result of human experimentation. Although since the story takes place in December 2011, MKUltra obviously isn't major factor in the plot, but instead it serves as an inspiration for much more screwed up things.
The story itself follows a boy named Menlo, and his attempts to simply survive what is rumored to be a curse bound to kill him. All his friends are connected with this "curse" bound to kill him, especially the "vampire" heroine in the story. This conflict is interpreted through his simple life at high school, where in each arc he must tackle the issues his friends face. Entering their conflicts reveals much bigger conflicts at hand, and what seems like typical issues you see in school life are in reality pieces to a large political conflict!
Arc 1 itself for example follows the conflict of bullying and the said "vampire" heroine, who is rumored to have a curse placed on her by a succubus long ago, said to transform each daughter of her family into a succubus as well. However, said curse is also said to sentence anyone close to her inter-personally to death. Even more messed up, she cannot perceive the human shape properly, instead seeing them as sacks of flesh and slime, with Menlo being the sole exception at the school whom she can perceive as human. However, as Menlo gets to know her, he discovers this girl also likes to drink blood, and would frequently disappear with amnesia after. "Is she truly a demon of sorts? Or is something else at work? Is the curse real, or just rumors? Is she just a crazy girl? Rumor has it she killed her own mother and ate her organs..."
Don't expect a nymphomania interpretation of succubi! I'm going for a very VERY VERY different interpretation of what a "Succubus" is in this story!
Anyways, the best way to describe my VN is Yume Miru Kusuri, meets Saya no Uta! ;)
The genres are: Drama, Murder Mystery, Political Thriller, Psychological Horror, Romance, Drugs, Bullying, and Slice of Life.
Despite all the screwed up stuff I might have mentioned about the plot, I really want to go for a "romantic" feeling, taking place in an Urban Winter setting and all, with pretty Christmas lights and decorative.
However, the fact it takes place near Christmas is really dissonant to the horrors as well...
Oh yeah. This will also be the first eroge on the entire internet with a large focus on erotic hypnosis and recreational drugs! (Along with more screwed up fetishes like KNIFE PLAY!) I'm actually getting help from real hypnotists to write this!
If you download the 18+ version of the game, expect VERY hardcore femdom! This aint your average eroge where the girl can give a footjob and get away with calling it femdom! This is H-A-R-D-C-O-R-E! (You have been warned if you download the 18+ version!)

1. I prefer sprites for everyone, but I don't mind seeing the protag only in CG. I DO mind them being FACELESS in those CGs, that is kinda creepy to me.
2. So far? Roughly 40-50ish. Though I have more and many were never finished due to lack of interest or a computer crash not that long ago.
3. How well people said it was written, the story, and the art style.
4. Any VN bigger than 2-3 gigs seems like too much to me. 1 gig or less is my normal limit.
5. FALSE. I'll try any VN that sounds interesting or people say is good.
6. I prefer games about relationships with others, friendship, hardships due to circumstance, that sort of thing.
7. FALSE. I don't care what the fetishes are.
8. I don't have many limits.
9. FALSE. I've played plenty (like Saya no Uta) that had no character personality appeal to me and love them.
10. I generally prefer yanderes though, oddly, for girls, and in general decent human beings.
11. Often. I'll play whatever I can get so I pay attention to what grabs me.
12. Semi-often?
13. YES. Yes they are. There are some GREAT ones, but as a whole the OELVN scene just generally offers lower quality as a whole. I love playing them because, again, I take what I can get, and some are honestly great. But most... not so much.
It needs to be well written, to start, and have at least decent art and music. I like having either a plot, a story, or a character focus in my games.
14. I'll play ANYTHING.
15. Seems interesting.
16. OH, very nice! Much better than many sprites I have seen in OELVN games. (especially when it comes to anatomy)
17. Not Canadian so... I dunno.
18. ... red?
19. Not bad!
