Rin Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Well, I'd like to try out this VN, but I can't find it anywhere, although it's not really suprising, considering that: Because it was out without the permission, some people downloaded it, but then Haeleth asked the creator and didn't get a permission, so he put the link down, as easy as that, iirc. It'd be good, if someone could give me a download link for it, thanks in advance. Quote
Harlequin Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Aaaaand I couldn't find a working link for it either myself... Well, I did find one "version" of it on /rs/ 4chan, but it crashes early on: Kira -Snowdrop-.rar Guess you could check it out at least, but it'll probably crash for you as well. onscripter-en.exe starts it. Sorry. "[KiraSetup[Haeleth][AT2005].exe" is what we need, but there's no working direct download links for it and no seeders on the torrents for it. There's probably some other installers/packages with different names as well, but I haven't found any workings links for a proper *English PC* version of the VN in any case. Quote
killerinsidee Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 ^ Yep, it crashes early on and I can't find that file either :/ Quote
Rin Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 Well, when does it crashes for you? I've played for about half an hour and it works perfectly so far. Quote
Harlequin Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Well, when does it crashes for you? I've played for about half an hour and it works perfectly so far. ... Seriously? It actually works well for you? That's awesome then! Errr, I just tested it again and it actually crashed at a slightly later point than usual. Not sure what that is all about. Usually it crashes after the "... snow?" line for me. Now it crashed 15 lines later or so. This is in the first minute or two of the VN. Edit: And now I got a little bit further after about 5 tries! Got to the part with the dark haired girl opening the front door of the old residence. Edited December 11, 2012 by Harlequin Quote
Rin Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 I don't really know why does it works for me, but thank you. Quote
killerinsidee Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I tested it again as well. When I first tried it, I just skipped through it with CTRL and it froze at the start and at the door scene Harle mentioned. This time I tried saving after ever 20 lines or so with skipping. I was able to finish the game, but it did freeze on a few black transition screens (with skipping). As long as you save often, an occasional freeze won't be much of a problem since the game is like 30mins long or something anyway. Do note that I didn't test it without skipping text, maybe that's the issue. I'll try reading though it normally and see if it will still freeze and crash. Quote

Well, I get crashes while reading it normally at least. Quote
killerinsidee Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Well, I get crashes while reading it normally at least. Ok, I've finished the whole thing without skipping. The game froze twice for me, both at scene transitions (black fade, etc.). Basically, even with freezing, I could finish the game fine. Do remember to save often though and just load if it freezes.

Rin Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 I just finished it, and it didn't crash for me. By the way, sometimes it was pretty hard for me to understand what Maiko says, I mean, she has a kansai accent. Quote

By the way, sometimes it was pretty hard for me to understand what Maiko says, I mean, she has a kansai accent. Yep, and it's apparently a trend to translate the kansai dialect into Texan/southern dialect, which can be rather annoying to read as you said. Quote

Thankfully it's a really short VN! I just finished it, and it didn't crash for me. By the way, sometimes it was pretty hard for me to understand what Maiko says, I mean, she has a kansai accent. Happy to hear that you got what you wanted in the end. Quote
Rin Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah, thanks again, it's worth reading it. Quote
