Re: wonder if anyone else feel the same way

I never tried any VN before and I officially hate manga and anime in general - not too strictly maybe, but I feel particularly sorry for adults who are onto these things. I'm over 30, and I've been active in anime-manga fandom for fifteen years. I currently attend two relevant meetup groups in whic...

Re: Recommend a VN

Fading Hearts. I recommend it not because it's good or engaging...But because it's so amazing bad and inept and stupid, it just becomes hilarious. You could talk with the devs on their forum ... I bought Fading Hearts a couple years ago after reading its reviews on RPGFan and Gamertell... and never...

Re: Buncha random questions

1. Is it just me or did/does anyone find Katawa shoujo more interesting than 90% of all other games I've played/owned (especially weird considering i've never played any other games of this kind). I dunno. In the mid-2000s, I would spend hours reading visual novels on a computer, including both tra...

Re: The "thank you 4LS" thread.

Thanks to 4LS, me and several friends with different skills and backgrounds were inspired to create a visual novel, and now we're in the process. While it's an overwhelming project, it's been fun so far and it's also looking promising so far. Hopefully that will go well. Writing fiction requires a ...

Re: Finally giving KS a chance

I have been much too negative on this forum. This is a problem that I need to address. Likewise, in the last few days, I have become increasingly aware of my negativity in real life. This is a problem that I definitely need to address. My previous computer stopped working in February 2013. I have a ...

Re: Sakura-Con

I haven't been to Sakura-Con, but I did attend PAX Prime once. Unfortunately, I didn't find that convention appealing. I like the excitement and varied programming that large conventions offer, but I can also appreciate the way in which small cons lack huge lines/crowds/intense schedules. This is wh...

Re: Finally giving KS a chance

I had glanced at some of the flowcharts elsewhere on this forum, and thought that the first part of the VN was going to continue for several more hours. It turns out that my main character was one decision away from a bad ending. It was a bit more final than I expected. Also, if what I've read here ...

Re: Finally giving KS a chance

I took some time to read topics about Katawa Shoujo on other forums. I was not sure if anyone on Megatokyo, Mangagamer, or JAST would like it, but I was surprised to see about half of the posts were positive. By comparison, there was more negativity in the most recent Lemma Soft thread. Also, I was ...

Re: Finally giving KS a chance

Yes, I have been rather critical, and I probably focus too much on small details. But if I have free time in the next few days, I will try to resume reading KS. Nicol Armarfi: I wandered into visual novel fandom quite a few years ago, and I've been active on Lemma Soft for quite some time. I try to ...

Re: Discovered KS less than a week ago. Now I'm at 100%

I'll look into some of those after i finish KS for the 2nd time. thanks! Some of the games and VNs that I recommend are personal favorites, usually ones I like because of odd circumstances. (Things like "Almost nothing else was translated at the time," or "I didn't have a reliable co...

Re: Finally giving KS a chance

I've been inside for most of this afternoon/evening, slowly reading KS, and trying to decide if I like it. I'm still in the first section of the visual novel, and I think that I've finally progressed past the moment where I left off in 2009. Unfortunately, I'm still very negative and very uncertain....

Re: Finally giving KS a chance

It's been a cold, calm evening here in Chicagoland. I could've gotten back into reading Katawa Shoujo. Instead, I spent the last few hours doing vacation research, reading a few favorite news sites, callilng friends, and playing a couple old favorite games (Final Fantasy 1 and the SNES version of Si...

Re: Katawa Shoujo, my first VN....

I guess that's one of the reasons I liked Katawa Shoujo, because it was the perfect friends; if they betrayed me of left me, I could just start over, and no matter what, I could always choose a happy ending. For quite a few years, video games were a form of escapism for me. It was a lot easier for ...

Finally giving KS a chance

I've been really reluctant to read Katawa Shoujo. I downloaded the complete edition over a year ago, and it was sitting unused on my hard drive for quite some time. By the time April 2012 rolled around, I'd moved it to an external drive. So I'm finally giving it a chance. It has been years since the...

Re: Inspired to make a VN

sob* sob* playing KS inspired me also to do VN although I might do the writing only ( still newbie) If you're not yet currently active on Lemma Soft , then I recommend using it. The forum has been active for ten years ago, and it's one of the largest communities for English speaking creators of VNs...
