... It's so sad when someone introduces a seemingly good VN, and that VN is not available on PC.

As if the starvation of VNs for nearly a month wasn't enough.

One of the perks of being a "Gold fakku member" besides ad removal. All moderators got it. Wished I could change the color to green too.

Assuming you're talking about Dangan Ronpa: lol
The torrent release from Fuwanovel also includes a PSP emulator I think. I only copied the ISO file and it works without any patching, So I assume that's an emulator.

Just started G-Senjou no Maou, I picked it up since it was in the 'Fakku Recommends' thread and many put it in their top 10.

I'll be honest, the beginning wasn't impressive at all, and I really can't stand most of the cast so far (Eiichi and Kanon above all, ugh), but I'll keep playing, I want to know why this is considered a good VN.

Oh, and Haru is adorable when she smiles. <3

Time for me to post since I've already finished Umineko, Tick! Tack! and Throb! The Greatest Inventions.

As for Umineko, it was a great experience reading it once again but this time with the PS3 tweaks. I found some parts very fascinating with the addition of CGs and voices. Man, I even re-read at least three times the
Spoiler:
????? part of EP5 and other scene on the same EP when the piece Batler goes all out in the closed room where Natsuhi insisted that Kinzo was there. Other scene that I re-read was the end of EP6 when Beatrice challenges Erika to free Batler of the logic error.

Needless to say, I'm very satisfied with how Umineko turned out to be with the tweaks. A major thanks to the team that worked on the tweaks for managing to improve a already great VN.


Regarding Tick! Tack!, it turned out to be better than what I was expecting but it wasn't anything extraordinary or even close. It has it's funny parts, characters interactions (mostly funny), a little bit of drama and h-scenes. What is there not to like?
If the writer expanded some aspects of how the events were handled this would surely be a much more interesting story. And this is precisely the reason why Tick! Tack! doesn't stand out among similar VNs.

It has a generic soundtrack (already forgot about it) but not bad for the scenes. As for the voices, I don't have anything to complain about them since I liked them a lot (oh, Ai's voice is dangerous for me). About the art, I also liked it (again, the moment I saw Ai I fell in love).

I end up giving a 6.5/10 to Tick! Tack!.


I finished Throb! The Greatest Inventions about one hour ago and by far, it's the title I like most out of all the Softhouse-Seal VNs Mangagamer released so far.

I found the idea of the protagonist making inventions to use original and man, this is probably just me but the protagonist amused me to no end. His way of thinking and attitude was what made me finish reading the whole story.
Spoiler:
One part I really liked was when he created a clone of himself and started talking to it because of Matsuri.


Of course, being a Softhouse-Seal I didn't even take the game seriously since I already knew what to expect. In fact, the reason why I started to read this VN was because of its description and I'm not disappointed.
For me, the ending that fits the story the most is the Yuri ending (obviously, my favourite ending).

With this, because of the protagonist I give a 5.5/10 to Throb! The Greatest Inventions.

IF MY HEART HAD WINGS from [MoeNovel] is out.
REMINDER : no h-scene, kiss, pantyshot, even sexual jokes. All-age game, fuck.

People from A-S said the game translation is bad.

Not gonna pick this one -_-"

Where's my goddamn LxC2 June patch *rage*

A torrent is already available since hours ago. I posted it on the uploads section.
Surely a release not appreciated by many. Users on 4chan claimed that they will work on a patch to re-insert all the original content. Let's see if that patch is going to get released or not. If that patch is not released I'm pretty sure that I won't read If My Heart had Wings.

Didn't notice the torrent since I'm just waiting for Totono HCG sets lol.

Let's hope guys from 4chan can do their best on this VN.
This is major letdown for me. Even removing kiss scene? What the hell.

Kiss scenes weren't removed. Check this post
The kissing scenes will be altered so that it will not show any tongues or lips touching, but will show the back or side view of a couple kissing, as seen under the 'demo' section in the official homepage


Still, this is a major letdown indeed. What makes me not really want to read this title is mainly the changes to the original script so that it can reach a 'wider audience'. I kind of understand the decision to release an all ages product to reach that 'wider audience' but they made a terrible choice on choosing a VN without an all ages release and censor it to no end. On top of this, they don't intend to release a patch to re-insert the original content. This just demotivates me from reading If My Heart had Wings.

Honestly, I really hate the "attempt to appeal the wider audience" without any good reason. Fuckin' prioritize your "real" readers first then give out the SFW version, not the other way around.

Heck, most All age version out there was originally 18+ before getting the all age rating. The Reason those VNs that received an all age rating after their 18+ version was because it's popular with the market and can be easily be converted.

But in this debacle it just feels like outright blatant censorship. This was definitely different with "EF ~A fairy tale of the two~" by NNL, because they gave us OPTIONS, effing fuckin' OPTIONS, to skip the NSFW stuff.

---EDIT BTW-----

Finished Dangan Ronpa : 9/10
To keep it short, since I don't want to spoil you guys in any way.

It's like playing a game with:
-999 tension and atmosphere
-Phoenix Wrights gameplay, but "with guns"
-while using crack

But I don't know if this is caused that I used the "normal" difficulty, but sometimes I felt that some of the cases were too easy.

So, I'd Recommend setting all the difficulties to Malacious which is the hardest from the start.

And there's one annoying thing that I don't like that seems to be forced in just for "replayability": Eventhough you've finished the game 100%, you need to buy the CGs, cutscenes, arts, OST and movies with in-game currencies, which you can only get by searching randomly or getting high scores in each chapter.

I've only finished the Good Ending, which is like 90% of all the contents, and with all the money that I got from that play, I could only afford maybe 40% from all of it.

I am playing katawa shoujo (disability girls). You can download it for free, as it is a free-to-play VN, from here: Katawa Shoujo

Spoiler:
Anyway, I was so sad when I got the bad ending for Hanako, where she screams at you, and shuts you out. It was saddening, since I worked so hard to get a good ending.

If My Heart Had Wings. I didn't really mind them removing the H-scene and editing the kiss scene, it's just the removal of sexual jokes that gets me. It just ruined it for me. When I play a VN, I play it for the story and the comedy. (Can't deny that I play for the H-scene as well, but that's just extra for me)

On topic, I'm gonna play:

Todoroke Seiki no Daihatsumei Ai to Okori to Kanashimi no Himitsu Kessha Dai Ni Kagakubu
Nakadashi Spy no Sounyuu Sousa -Shikyuu no Heiwa wa Ore ga Mamoru!-

It looks like Grisaia no Kajitsu english patch is gonna come out soon according to the wiki, so I'll be playing that too when it comes out.

Oh ho, it does have an emulator. Okay, let's try it out then.

... Speaking of which, why don't I try playing some PSP Visual Novels on an emulator. While there are no sex (kushun; nowadays the lack of 18+ content made the VN feel like, well, lacking even though it's not), there certainly are some pretty enticing stories...

Also, I remember that there's one PSP game also from the author of the Infinity series, and its synopsis is about a group of people finding out that they are lab rats trapped for an unknown experiment, and were scheming to escape. However, little did they know or remember that they have already tried the same thing, that they had already tried to escape in the past but ultimately failed.

It's basically Infinity, though I'm not sure if it's part of the series (the concept sounds pretty damn similar). Do you know what that game is, Kaimax? It had a Chinese title (read it from a Chinese game magazine a year ago) so I don't remember, though it should be pretty famous...

So, I'm halfway through G-Senjou no Maou (so far I've cleared Tsubaki and Kanon route, with both endings for each route), and I have to be honest about some things:

Spoiler:
1. So far the game is good. While I found some parts to be utterly unnecessary and some characters to be really painful to tolerate (Eiichi and Hiroaki, I'm looking at you), I can say that this is an interesting VN. Not as good as others I've played, but still good.

2. I would've never thought that I would find such despicable vermin in this kind of visual novel. Sure, Kyousuke COULD be a full-time jackass if you go for the bad endings, but at the very least, the poor bastard had a life so full of shit that it's not even funny (it's impressive how he managed not to snap). HOWEVER, people like Gonzou and 'Maou' (whoever the coward is) make me want to punch the screen. I thought that I saw the worst deviants in Kara no Shojo, but those were 'only' sick psychopaths. These guys however, they are just cruel beyond anything. If they get away without paying I'm gonna be VERY disappointed.


I also want to add that, as laughable as it may sound, one of the main points of the game made me think a lot: that is, how money can really turn people into the most detestable felons. And the sad part is, it is true for us as well - in too many places a life is worth less than a stack of bills.

Probably not since I only played Ever17. Other than that there's only Never7 and Remember11.

Aw, too bad. Also I think you mistook my meaning; I mean that it has an Infinity feeling to it and the game's exclusive to PSP. Oh well.

LovelyXCation 2 Append Life June -> HERE I COME
http://www.mediafire.com/download/18aca44eyu4p624/LC2_APPEND-LIFE_JUNE.zip

I like that now, even though that only 2 girls got new H-scenes, the other 2 got small events. In the original it was only 2 H-scenes.

I learned that a new patch for Yosuga no Sora was released. The patch details are.
Sora: 8288/8288 (100.00%)
Nao: 1445/7311 (19.76%)
Akira: 4531/8794 (51.52%)
Kazuha: 6634/6634 (100.00%)
Motoka: 1432/6261 (22.87%)
Common route: 2096/2096 (100.00%)


The reason why I'm posting this here is because I'm gonna read Yosuga no Sora. I've been interested in this title for a long time for obvious reasons =3 After seeing a recent discussion about it on 4chan with screens of the translation I decided to read it even if it's partially translated . I'm going for Kazuha's route first and then Sora's. Sora's route is only available after finishing at least one route.


Now, some other stuff regarding If My Heart Had Wings.

A restoration patch is being worked on. Check link.
We’ll be working on releasing as patch for EN version of the game (compatible with Play-Asia version, MG version not sure yet), with the following features:
- Restoring all H-content, including censored CG.
- Improving english translation based on MN’s TL
- (stretch goal) TLC’ing MN translation, re-translating portions of text they censored, including sex-related jokes and other adult text.”


Honestly, I'm a bit worried about the translation of the un-translated parts (Aaeru will translate the h-scenes, just read the thread I linked) but I know I won't mind that much at least the h-scenes. Let's see how this will develop. There's still a lot of work to do.

Oh, and it seems a user with the name Moenovel posted on the nyaa page (the one where the torrent is) claiming to be the developer requesting the removal of the torrent.
