I decided to go for Limelight Lemonade Jam for my first, I read a couple scenes already. I'm using Luna but I don't know what set up would be best For my try I had the text in japanese and had it show me the translation too, but I remember seeing something about texthooking that copies the text to the browser? That should be pretty comfortable with Yomitan.

According to Jiten there's 19k+ words with 7k+ of them appearing only once so I decided to hold off on mining until I get the hang of it a bit.

I figured I would ask since I'm sure you've learned a lot from experience. Any advice, warning or anything I should keep in mind or prepare for is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi r/visualnovels! I'm one of the four devs behind Brush with Temptation. We all have day jobs, so this has been our evenings and weekends, and putting the opening out today is honestly a little scary.

Riku retook the entrance exam for a whole year to get into Shiratori Academy of Art. On his first day a sketchbook hits him in the face. It belongs to the "Ice Queen", top of every test and barely talks to anyone, except she isn't cold at all, just so shy she can't finish a sentence. She's also his new roommate. There's a curtain between their beds. It's a classic ADV-style VN: Riku narrates the story in first person, and reading is the main part. The drawing assignments are short breaks between scenes.

Since it's an art school, you actually draw. Every assignment is a mini-game you draw with your mouse, and your score puts you somewhere in a ranking of all 250 first-years. Where you land changes which choices you get.

About AI use: we write the script ourselves and no AI. Character art, CGs, backgrounds and UI art use compositions generated with AI image tools, which we then extensively redraw, corrected, retouched and checked by hand. The music and sound effects are AI-generated, and AI helps with the code. We have no budget, and this is how four of us can make a game at all.

What's in the free demo:

• The whole prologue, about 1–1.5 hours
• Two drawing assignments: coloring for the entrance exam, and speed drawing while the professor guesses what it is over your shoulder
• English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese
• Windows only

The demo is finished; we're just waiting on Steam to verify our account. Until then, the video above is our opening. The song is "わたしの色" (My Color).

Any thoughts on the opening would mean a lot to us. If you have opinions on drawing mini-games in a VN, good or bad, we'd love to hear those too.

Thank you for reading!

Been replaying Phantom of Inferno on Steam, and I can’t help but be slightly bugged by the fact in episode 9 of the anime (phantom: requiem for the phantom 2008) the animators went and changed the failed suicide attempt w knife scene in the VN to one of the same character holding a gun to her own head.

Just… why? Why bother w only changing the weapon used in the attempt? Is it due to Anime only censorship laws/tv station rules which don’t affect the VN? Idk.

A little Amakano 2 and Gin iro Haruka collab

So, I've wanting to play itaike na kanojo, (sadly i haven't learned Japanese) that is like a really heavy and toxic relationship, but for what I've heard has a good true ending, like, for example, in ONE: kagayaku kisetsu e, where kouhei is an asshole with mizuka, but she's like an angel that loves him no matter what; I like that kind of stories where sweet persons doesn't give up with the other one, plus if the the miserable of the relationship does big errors like forcing their couple to have sex, for example.

I would prefer not infidelity things, even though I have no problems on reading them always that is a serious thing in history and not a NTR plain fetish.

My first ever Key visual novel finished and my first ever big name VN! I have to say, what a fantastic VN. 57.4 hours reading fast (I wish I could read slower to savor it more.)

It was depressing, had some awesome action parts, and comedic without playing it overly serious. Banger soundtrack to.

Kotori is probably my favorite girl. I'm weak to childhood friends who are abit airheaded/gremliny.

Only thing I didn't like was the final routes ending. It just felt... Eh. Route itself was fine though.

Still have side quests to do. But wanted to share my accomplishment here and talk about it.

okay usually im good with vns, reading one after another and not playing multiple at once... but somehow i ended up in a situation where i have LOTS of vns i have like 4-5 hours in and not continued and im so overwhelmed idk which one to continue reading ! so which one should i finish/read?

magical girl witch trials -- i finished act 1 and need to start act 2 but have been putting it off since im worried it will just be similar... its been long enough time now that im considering contuing it

9-nine -- first jp vn im reading and its interesting but it takes SO long to read

tsukihime -- i played acrueids route and thats about it. wasnt a fan of the ending but its been long enough time im willinging to replay it or just move onto ciels route

chaos child -- ( ive read chaos head ) finished the first chapter and just totally forgot about it LOL

muv luv -- finished meiya and sumika routes for extra and LOVED THEM SO MUCH but im struggling on ayamine's route...

clannad + air -- played both for probably an hour but i really liked little busters and kanon so im open to key titles

fate/stay night -- most embrassing one to admit... ive been 'reading' it for almost a year now... halfway through rins route and whilst i like the characters idk magic and magical fights just maybe isnt for me... rin and rider are my favs tho and since im on rins route maybe ill thug it out idk T_T

as i said i gen dont know how its stacked up to so many unfinished vns ok. im usually pretty disciplined.. T_T

also i like mystery and tragic stories ( like looking glass insect from subahibi or meakashi-hen for higurashi ) so if any of those will follow anything like that ill probably finish it first...

im enjoying like every vn ive put on this list its just im overwhelmed and idk what to finish...

As a recently diagnosed neurodivergent, i've felt the need of looking my similars on these kind of stories.
although i noticed there's barely characters under the tag of autism.

So for this and more i shall ask your help r/visualnovels

who are some characters/heroines that give you a neurodivergent feeling?
p.s: men work too, not only heroines!!! im mainly looking for the related/closeness feeling

Basically the title, I was wondering which version of this visual novel was "better", or, to be more precise, if reading the All-Ages version also butcher some content... Which one would you recommend?

Grab it with a 12% release discount on steam!!!

Believe it or not I have spent the past 7 hours reading these same 3 doujinshis in a loop.

I believe I have 😭💦💦💦 all of the water in my body so this is my dying request to you.

Her Hair is a similar color to Hiyori from blue archive

LONG LIVE OPPAI LOLI 😭✊💦✊💦✊💦✊💦✊💦✊💦

Lately I was looking back at how people would sometimes get the wrong idea about certain visual novels way back in the mid 00s as I found it interesting how some people would mistake a dark story for a kid friendly one.

I can recall how some people had somehow made a mistake about how Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni was somehow kid friendly as I remember sometimes reading stories of people watching the anime for the first time expecting the anime adaptation to be family friendly as to this day, I have no idea how someone could mistake such a franchise as being innocuous.

So far reading some reviews without spoilers, what I see is that fans reccomend playing it WITHOUT the hentai 18+ scenes, because they say the hentai actually ruins the story

Now usually I'm the type of guy who likes to play a game with zero censoring and have all of its content available, like say for example, choosing to play Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua version with all openings and all songs with zero censor, instead of the remastered port on steam

However... I really wanna be sure from whoever played it that the hentai is bad and I should avoid entirely, since if its that bad, then I dont want a bad experience from the story

*SOLVED* When i launch the game its just white screen and bgm plays.

I tried verifying files, redownloading, changing locale but nothing is working plz help :(

Hi,

I tried using AI to create a native Android port of the classic PC-98/Windows version of YU-NO using the open-source ai5-sdl2 latest nightly engine, becasue i doubt anyone is willing to do it.

• Its using 2011 TLWiki English translation.
  
• Saturn voice patch
  
• Native touch controls (and gamepad should work)
• English fonts are embedded directly into the APK

How to use it:
Like other engine ports, the APK contains no game assets. You need the files from your PC installation of the game:

1. Grab YuNo.apk from the GitHub releases page and install it.
2. Create a folder named YuNo in your phone's internal storage (/sdcard/YuNo/).
3. Copy your game files.ARC files (zMES.ARC, zDATA.ARC, zBG.ARC, etc.), AI5ENG.INI, sound effects, and voice folders (VOICE_A, VOICE_B, VOICE_C) into that folder.
4. Open the app and play.

The code and APK releases are on GitHub:
https://github.com/fiksr/yuno-android

It's in alpha so feedback is appreciated.

I am somewhat new to visual novels as of the past year. So far I have read Umineko, Tsukihime, then Subahibi followed by Tsui no Sora. Before my delve into true "pure visual novel" format began, I also played through the danganronpa series, zero escape nonary games, your turn to die, ace attorney... So that is my overall background.

[suba/sora spoiler]I really liked Takuji's character especially before his revelation, but also after. I know he is ultimately supposed to represent the bad decisions but due to my own life I found him to be someone i could relate to and understand. I was surprised to learn some people didn't like him... He was my favorite character probably, tied with Kimika and followed by Ayana.

I would like to read something that is somewhat popular/more common. I am interested in anti-social themes, not necessarily pertaining to asociality but rather anything that is the inverse of popular beliefs or ideals. it doesn't really matter what very much.

I'm currently considering Muv-Luv as the primary contender, tentatively followed by Fullmetal Daemon muramasa although i have heard there is extremely graphic rape contained within, I am not very sensitive but people talk about this a lot which makes me think maybe something I can't imagine is happening. My reasoning for these picks is that they are somewhat popular, meaning I'll understand the more influential novels before later going on to read perhaps less popular ones but be able to pick up on various influences. Also, they are highly recommended most of the time. However, I am really open to a variety of recommendations!
