Please visit and leave your thoughts.

link: Violet Hill

Just finished playing the Ver. 2.00 demo of Violent Hill, got to say very good characterisation.

 

Aoki - Kind of a dick of times but in the 'I piss about with you' way, also like how at times he gets philosophical, kinda reminds of a combo of Kenichi from Sharin and Hisao from Katawa Shoujo but he has that spark that makes him unique, got to say I'm looking forward to seeing how Aoki will develop throughout the course of the game

 

Minimato - Seems to be a nice person, the bipolar tsundere behaviour makes for a lot of great dialogue between her and Aoki, very curious about the link between the two of them, sounds to be an interesting thing in the whole scheme of things

 

Sasaki - Seems to be the Moe factor what with the ocassional ditzyness on her part, though something in the back of my mind is telling me that it is all an act as she supposedly went to an elitist all girls

academy before moving to Violent Hill, weird how she said she had gone to the same school as Aoki at one point, Hope my idea is true

 

Kanade - Ah the wonderful osanajimi, she seems awesome, she has that air that makes her come across as being extremely likeable, got to admit pretty cool that you made her a Mangaka, completely out of the left field and it makes the game unique. Have a feeling that she really does like Aoki despite the fact that she turned him down three years before but that circumstances prevented her from admitting these feelings

 

Other characters like Kyosuke and the Sensei despite the fact not much is known about them at the current time seem to be incredibly likeable characters, I assume that the 'Yaoi' ending will be with Kyosuke?

 

Anyway onto the story, seems to be incredibly well written as while reading I sensed that there was constantly some overriding form of plot sitting there, Also got to admit that the Mindstorm seems to be an extremely interesting concept, one that has an almost limitless potential for development, have a feeling that at some point the minds of Aoki and his chosen heroine will be connected and they'll have a scene with it. Got to say really looking forward to seeing what you do with this, seems a lot more unsual than say Rewrite's Aurora and Kenichi the Super human in Sharin but that unusualness makes it all the more interesting, the power isn't just told like 'Here's your power, this is what it does go nuts' no, he has to discover for himself what the power does and what it's limits are. Also want to say grade A job on the opening it certainly was fitting for the atmosphere that the game was portraying.

 

Only gripe I have really is the unusual writing style but hey, it works and it's your game it just seems to be out of place when you use certain words in certain situations but then again Aoki is as Kyosuke put it 'a hermit' so I guess he can be forgiven for speaking in such a manner, not saying it should be all "LOL LMAO WTF ROFLCOPTER" but just say try make the dialogue between the characters a bit more colloquial, it will make it seem a great deal more realistic than it currently does.

 

Now in regards to the techinical aspects of the game, so far I haven't noticed anything really glaringly wrong with the game but I will be going through it with a fine comb at a later date as I wish to help make this game to be the best it can possible be

 

Any way I am waiting with baited breath for the new demo to come out, I appauld you for the piece of art you have created and I can't wait for the full release.

Many thanks for your hard work! I'm glad you're liking it so far :3

It'll be one hell of a ride together, let's keep up the good work.

Looking forward to your notes and suggestions.

txt file would be good, or pull a "chocogami" and send me 7 pages in Word. XD

 

Pretty plain but meh..

Pardon my ignorance, but who is she?

She's lovely.

Rikka is justice.

Okay Finish the demo and here is some feedback

 

The writing/story is interesting so far, the introduction and the bit of characters backstory is inviting for me

 

The Mindstrom concept is good, I like how you mix in the real psychology theories stuffs in too, since I once studies those in my university time mentioning them and involve them in the story made the suspension of disbelief stronger.

 

there are some anime related cliche here and there which I dont mind since it suppose to be VN style.

 

And compare to the demo 1.0 having those popup CG (phone, blackboard etc.) really improve the reading pleasure

Now I like to knew more and how will it end, So keep up a good work

 

Ps. I still thinks the "raining outside" sound is still like a dragging something around sound

Ps II. How long did a chapter last? It still feel like the demo is only half of a chapter 1 to me

Many thanks for your kind words and support, it helps a lot, really. :3

1. I plan on changing the rain on the roof SFX (i'm hunting the net for a more appropriate sound effect)

2. You read fast! XD prologue and chapter 1 last a little more than 1 hour.

I'll keep you updated!

Da Capo 3 - Prologue 34% translated, 2.8% translated overall

They expect to release it by next winter at this slowass pace?

MG....You have to be shittin me--- 2016 release, if we're lucky.

ouuu an update! nice

I have a noobish question What is Release Candidate status suppose to mean?

Is it like 90% finish or like 99%

 

just curious hope you dont mind ;P

 

Ps. Let see the demo, Holly crap it 556 Mb?! wow that exceed my rough estimate of 300 something

Release candidate is the same as RTM for software products (just to name an example)

which means that the version is final and only needs itty bitty finishing touches.

I'll keep you updated!

It's nice to see some more progress on YnS because I really want to play the route of that shrine maiden loli.

Me too, mate. Me too.

Happy Christmas, guys!

My god, I hope Moenovel doesn't screw up anything this time.

Wishful thinking.

Ivan, kill this thread please.

That Da Capo 3 progress... this time next year man.

Fairly accurate prediction. MG said they will have it ready a bit before 2015, around november/late december 2014.

I just finished Shinikiss and know what? Fuck this game.

What's so bad about a moege with uneventful boring plot and disney endings? "did I miss something?"

You are being way too dramatic. If you are talking about me, I just don't like any of Pulltop titles except one and I'm quite happy if it's not translated or to see the project failed. Whether anyone else actually looking forward to it or not is none of my business and I don't really cares about your feelings to be honest.

 

Jumping to conclusion much? I'm not sure how anyone could relate that as purely a hatred for anything related to fuwa; it is too far-fetched. I meant I was the one who linked Majikoi's tl project here after all.

 

As for "I should stay neutral", well, I don't give a shit about that. Deal with it.

Hence, I asked. When people communicate they understand each other.

I'm sorry if it looked like I lashed the aggro at you, I was just wondering why the reaction.

Now I know and thanks for answering, and no, I don't mind if you're neutral or not.

Again, sorry if that came out wrong.

Anyway, moving on... more than a handful seem to be interested in this MGQ thing, is it good? classic? must read?

do you really wanna know why people who read japanese novels hate each other? ho ho ho. good luck.

 

let me give you a tip. leave it. let them fight, let them hate each other. don't try to interfere or you will become involved in this stupid childish war. just watch nerds fight. it is amusing.

 

and if you stay back you will see how stupid it is. for example: some guys want to translate a game. they don't do anything wrong but because they are users of one forum, others hate them. it makes sense, dosn't it?

I never thought I'd say this, so i'll just go ahead and say it ONCE:

-I agree with you- It seems to me that this fight is nothing but childish banter of some sort. Why can't VN communities get along? the reason for this visceral hate still evades me, though..

Wait, did I miss something?...

I wonder about this too. I knew EG and vndb hated Aaeru, but now this extends to fuwanovel or any translation team based on fuwanovel.

I don't know the reason for such deep hatred, and I fail to understand why must an innocent pulltop novel should also be ostracized just cuz, someone from fuwanovel forums is translating it.

someone care to explain the root of the hate? preferably a neutral party (non-biased).

meh.. i kind of expected this..

some faggot already notified moenovel about the cocoro@function project.

http://puu.sh/5C7kF/00632c9cfe.png

if this is moeshit's next release, then C&D might happen, most likely.

Hey guys, thought I'd post an editing update.

 

I'm slightly over halfway now. I've kind of been going pretty slow due to time restraints, but we'll get there! Definitely most of the content is there, it's just the case of polishing up the language. The whole heartburn thing still killed me, though.

 

Also, if you didn't know, the editing is in british english, so take that for what it's worth.

Ohohohohohooo x3 and what thing about "heartburn" are you talking about??

LOL, anyway, many thanks for your hard work! I got all the images for BGI now

all that's left is to edit them and move them to the game's folder.
