Board assets, rules and banners! Anonymous ## Board Owner 05/10/15 (Sun) 02:01:28 No.719[Reply]

Alright anons, in order to make /vn/ feel more like home I have created this thread for everyone to discuss what they would like to see from /vn/.

I suggest we could start off by editing the files on the left so we'll have a more unique feel to the board.

"File Deleted" must be 140 x 50

"No File" must be 500 x 500

"Spoiler" must be 128 x 128

If any of you want have some good ideas for any board rules (to added or taken away) feel free to speak your mind and if the majority likes your idea I'll be sure to make the changes.

Also be sure to submit any banners you have designed. (Need to be 300 x 100)

Hey, boss. I'm glad to see you back.

I thought I would have a go at the spoiler image. Since almost all spoilers are H content, I went with "lewd." I could change it to "spoiler" instead if you would like that more, though.

>What are Visual Novels?

Visual Novels (VNs) are a media type directly spawned from anime and manga. They are defined as a book in which sprites are used to show emotion with pictures in the background showing the setting. All VNs have music and effect sounds and most have voices. Text is generally given to the reader in small sections and require you to click choices to further the story. Some VNs have branching stories that can become extremely complex depending on the novel (A good example of a cluster-fuck story is Fate/Stay NightPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

13/11 Kimi no Nagori wa Shizuka ni Yurete [NSFW]

One year after the release of Flyable Heart, Unison Shift: Blossom released a spin-off starring the most popular heroine, Shirasagi Mayuri. Unlike it’s predecessor, Kiminago is more of a romantic drama, focusing on Mayuri’s relationship with Shou, and their struggle to have her family approve it, considering how their backgrounds are radically different. The story can be divided into two parts: the high-school daily life, and the mansion. Most of the game happens in the latter.

Similarly to its source material, Kiminago starts with Shou, a teenager with a huge appetite, being invited to a prestigious high school after saving her from an assault in the street. Atracted by the free meal plan that came with the invitation, he decides to go as soon as possible. And as he crosses a bridge, he comes across a beautiful girl staring at the horizon. Her mysterious gaze, and her intense beauty instantly captivates our protagonist. After a small conversation, she soon guides him throughout the school, and thus, the story begins.

Would anyone agree that there's a point where a character can be too fleshed out? Especially in a VN where the reader can make choices and direct the story?

Have you ever felt a rift between yourself and the protagonist? Or would you say that good writing can skirt that problem entirely?

Grisaia series Anonymous 12/06/15 (Sun) 20:07:46 No.1040 [Reply]

I've postponed this for a long time now and decided it's finally time to read the first Grisaia. Which translated version is least censored (preferably no removed or modified scenes/CG)? I keep hearing of Sekai's jewish business practices and pro-censorship which is why I'm curious if it's better or worse compared to "old" translation patch.

It doesn't need a comma after the word "shampoo" and it's an awkward use of the word "start" but otherwise it's not bad. "Actually" is also unnecessary. I would say that the second sentence just suffers from awkward phrasing, but it's not incorrect.

How valuable is it to you that the protagonist in a VN is their own distinct character and not just easy to self-insert into?

I think it's important to have protags as their own characters in more story-driven stories. If it's a straight-up eroge, it's less important to have an actual character there; it's more practical to have a blank slate so the reader can imagine it's them having sex with a bunch of girls.

Personally, I prefer having a real character as the protagonist, even in eroge. I just think it's more interesting; I also like my protagonists to be voiced, etc. Pic related was good for this, if you don't mind BL, but it was also a pretty story-driven eroge.

it's pretty innovative, the characters aren't just 2d pictures slapped on top of a background. They move and even lip sync to every line of dialogue. it's not awkward looking 3D cgi anime girls either. It really did well with the graphics and overcoming the uncanny valley with 2D/3D animation. I highly reccomend. From what I understand there's a non h version….

but fuck non h

The story goes, a few sexually frustrated scientists invented nekogirls through gene alteration. They are culturally accepted as pets, and the nekogirls accept that role and really have no desire to go all SJW and demanding neko girl rights. They have subhuman intelligence, act catlike, but can be trained to do simple things like cooking, cleaning, etc. The neko girls fully embrace their life as pets, and even go on walks n shit.

it's apparently taboo to have sexual relations with your neko girls

and they really don't understand much about sex until it's "mating season", where they get urges they don't understand. So you get to steal their innocence away. Lucky you.

Despite the clearly unrealistic scenario, the game interjects enough realistic scenarios that thankfully make you forgot about beingPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You need to do a lot of thinking about what is happening, the story is fun, creative and has a lot of twists and the soundtrack is gorgeous.

It's not as good as Higurashi, which you should play before Umineko, and the first part is kind of a chore to get through, but it's all worth it in the end.

Unrealistic to the extreme. Nothing would fix a real junkie short of fear of eternal damnation. I wonder what is likable about Mizuki at all? A spoiled only child of rich parents, does drugs and alcohol together, has no self-restraint at all. Her pictures weren't boner inducing either.

Also, I bet that any child with her would be born already an addict.
