If there is one genre of music that is heavily underapreciated then it's Chiptune. This kind of music was first used in old consoles, due to restricted technical capabilities. Later in the 90s people realised, that this style has the potential to be awesome on it's own. Therefore I want to present you my Top 5 of original Chiptune songs. Hopefully this raises a bit more awareness for this great music. 5. Dubmood - Cydonian Sky 2 4. ICU - CrackMe song 3. Higedriver - Ukigumo 2. JosSs - Fuck Da Ripper 1. Estrayk - The HER Song 10

I just realized it's already uploaded here. Just look under English games list... Ivan has traveled back to the past to make it available before it was even fully translated.

As nobody seems to have postet it yet: Maman Kyoushitsu (Maman Kyoushitsu ~Mirai no H na Obenkyou~) had a full patch release. It's appearantly a nukige with pregnant women. Maybe Ivan could provide it.

Of course every character is intended (unless the author used a random generator to write). On the actual topic: everybody is free to dislike characters and their defining tropes. You should just be aware that they are not "bad" in the sense of badly written, only in the sense of "I don't like them" if you happen to not enjoy their concepts and the author's intention. In this regard Heart de Roommate actually does a lot things right (especially the emotionless girl in the middle).

You probably don't understand the concept behind a Hetare Protagonist. It's not like the author fucked it up by accidentally forgeting his guns and superpowers. He is supposed to be a spineless wuss. This is a Japanese thing many western gamers don't get. We are so used to hypermasculine space marines with more muscles than steroid abusers that the mere thought of a weak protagonist is considered bad writing... The intention behind wimpy protags is to make the reader feel stronger than him. As eroge are mainly bought by insecure social-akward otakus, the developers want to give them a sens

Family Project is one of the better titles from Jast. The girls are pretty well written (especially Loli, emotionless girl and Tsundere), the common route has an actual topic (human relationships, family, working together to survive) and Wakamoto is one of the VA (fans squealing??). The only real fault are the routes, or better to say epilogues. They are just too short.

^ hey, cut that girl some slack. I bet your man boobs aren't that well-formed either.

At the same time MG and Jast buy licenses, VNs get official releases on PSP and Vita, Kickstarter OELVNs get up to 300k and VNs get more mainstream coverage (Monster Girl Quest 3 "almost" got GOTY on Kotaku, link). Doesn't seem like death or dark age, more like a changing environment. Let's see what happens in the future...

This is the problem if the fans care too much about their stuff. Even if it's free, we get angry at whatever problem it may have. Some complain about "bad translation", long delays, missing honorifics (my favourite), americanization, censorship, missing Mac support (lol) and many other things. I'm pretty sure the upcoming Jast version of Steins Gate removes honorifics and even if it's a small bullshit complaint I just can't help it, it still bothers me. That's just human and we all have to live with it.

The Killer Queen patch will remove the H-scenes to avoid "legal problems" (Loli content). The question is: do we lose important information in those scenes? I hope Rusanon is still with us then and reactivates the wub wub... Also, what's with the fan translators lately? Scared from legal consequences, even if their patch is illegal in the first place? Seriously, nobody gives a shit if the anime tits are too small and the voices sound like from a little kid. Does anybody really think their homes will be raided by some badass cop because of CP (and this status is not even sure)?

That game isn't even uploaded here. You either have to get it from Fuwanovel or ... buy it... lol Ivan: there is work to do. (and the Alpaca game while you are at it)

How come your project looks better and more ambitious than some Kickstarter VNs? Do those guys spend the money on imported love pillows?

Ef - now completely playable!...again Has the MG version CG mode and stuff? I kinda missed it in Lite.

Pretty weak year, so my vote goes to Rewrite
