I don't know if you need it anymore, but here you go: http://puu.sh/m7Ys3/a42e52968b.jpg For your latest image. It's messy, and I could be a little off on some of the things, but it should give you a general idea, yeah.

UPDATE We've been inactive as of late due to RL stuff, but we're back now and hard at work! You can follow Alex's developer blogs about the writing of Violet Hill here, as well as updates from the team on twitter and tumblr. On the art side, I recently finished Yuki's casual outfit. Here's a preview: http://puu.sh/jsQqF/df0cca966e.jpg http://puu.sh/jsQvf/25d1506e8c.jpg Until next time!

ATTENTION EROGEGAMES MEMBERS! The demo is complete! You can expect it to be posted very soon. A link to our VH forum will be provided as well. Our team has worked very hard over the past some months to bring about this release. This is a huge overhaul from the v2 demo, the project has taken on an entirely new direction. Due to time restraints a few assets will not make their way into the demo at this point. It shouldn't affect your experience that much, though. Some tracks will be repalced with originals, the OP video will make it's way in, and a CG or 2 will be added etc. We are very excited about the v3 demo, we hope you are too! Our team is satisfied with the way everything looks (after extensive beta-testing and quality/style-checking), and we would love to have some feedback from you! After playing, make sure to let us know your thoughts. That's all from me at this point

You probably will need to set your computer to Japanese locale to play the visual novels that haven't been localized. If Windows XP doesn't have the Japanese language option by default, then you'll need to download the East Asian Language Pack. I found a link for that: Zippyshare.com - LP for XP.rar People have confirmed that it works. Follow these instructions from Microsoft: 1.Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel. 2.On the Languages tab, under Supplemental language support, select the Install files for East Asian languages check box. 3.Click OK or Apply. You will prompted to insert the Windows CD-ROM or point to a location where the files are located. 4.After the files are installed, you must restart your computer. Here's how to set you locale to Japanese in XP: 1.Go to the Control Panel 2.Click on Regional and Language Options 3.Click the Advanced tab, go to "Language for non-Unicode Programs", and select "Japanese (Japan)" from the drop-down menu. 4.Click OK 5.Restart your computer

Yes, we are planning on posting our project on Lemmasoft, but after the v.3 demo is released. We want to give them something solid, something that is actually playable, so that they may have a better idea of the visual novel. A somewhat incomplete post wouldn't generate as much interest, or leave as good an impression, is what I think. Lemma does tend to be pretty harsh xD

And there you have it. That's our tsundere batman We quite like Choco's photographs and Helv's filters on them, they go well with the theme of the visual novel, so a potential BG artist would have to be preeetty good xD

Hello from the Artist Hello, it’s DarkSin, the Team Violet Hill’s lead artist (though that’s not saying much considering how small our art team is ^^’). It’s seems like it’s my turn to do the update post. I haven’t really OFFICIALLY introduced myself here before (I have commented on various VNs, though ). Basically what I do is the… um the art. Most of it. The Sprites, CGs, maps, some backgrounds most probably and various other things. Yes, it’s a lot of work! D: Oh and I also like to do a little QC’ing and get involved with the idea bouncing, character designs and brainstorming Experience with the Team so far I joined the team just a few months back, and so far I’ve had a great time with them. They are very motivated, ambitious and talented. We chat about all sorts of things, not just the project. Anime, visual novel… fetishes. Yes, all sorts of things o.o It’s pretty fun actually Progress this Past Month We’ve been doing a lot this past month. The team has begun pushing harder and allotting more time to the VN for the v.3 demo release and it’s shaping up pretty nicely. Things are coming together bit by bit. The script has been polished to a glaring shine (and then some ), art assets are progressing nicely, new music compositions by Vok have been added. Helv and Choco have been hard at work with the script. Choco, the idea guy’s, suggestion for using Google docs was a big help and considerably sped up progress. The QC’ers have also been helping out. Vok made some beautiful music tracks for us and.. is off to Japan for some months xD He’ll resume work on the soundtrack when he gets back. And I myself have been pretty busy with 2 universities, but I’ve been working on the VN in almost all my free time. I’ve completed two sprite packs so far. I probably went a little overboard with them, though Two many variations. I wanted the characters to appear more alive, so to speak. Our editor Choco is even doubling as our photographer, providing us with some beautiful imagery. We want everything in Violet Hill to be original. As said before, the visual novel has taken on a professionalism and aims to reach the level of any good commercial Japanese visual novel. Extra effort is being put into maintaining a standard.

^ That's actually really spoilerish.

I downloaded this not fully knowing what I was in for, but after hearing various stuff from various sources, I've also decided to hold off on playing this for now. I actually thought the wait for a possible patch would be much longer. Depending on when it is released, I may not have to push this game to the very end of my VN hold-list.

It's perfectly fine. I downloaded and installed it just recently. On another note, it's not bad. Good in fact. But, routes branch out far too late. And there's the occasional bi*tchy character. Infuriating :S The Matsuri route was awesome. Long, fulfilling and all. It's getting a remake isn't it? Hope that gets translated as well.

Justice is the PC version and it contains H-scenes. Destiny is the PS2 version. It doesn't have H-scenes or any other adult content(CGs etc. are edited). Some of the H-scenes in Destiny are replaced with different events. The walkthrough you are using is probably only for Duel Savior Justice. The Crea route is for Destiny only. It's like the Harem route in Justice. Here's how you get it:

It had a good plot, art was very good(character art especially, some of the backgrounds felt a bit off) and the sound was nice(voices especially). That Azure Bird BG music was cleverly placed. H-scenes were way out of place, though. General Spoilers ahead:

Do we need to be connected to the internet for the voices to play? Because I had this on my iphone and the voices only played when I had my wifi on.

Pretty good. The thing I like about Akabesoft 2 VNs is that the protagonist and the heroine usually get strongly attached to each other, and the overall emotion in the vn is strong as well. Too many eccentric characters though :S It seems to have an enforced playing order, since I had to do Rizu's bad(?) ending before a certain essential choice for Miku's route appeared. I have to get started on Miou's route now but I doubt it'll be able to top Miku's. After that I suppose I'll give Rizu's good end a try. EDIT: Miou's route was good. Not as good as Miku's, but I definitely have to play through this again someday. Rizu's route was meh. I liked the bad(?) end better.

This is a NDS rom?

Ah been waiting for this one Though why is the patch nearly as big as the game itself?

This is not voiced?

Thanks for the news. I didn't hear about this. I'll be waiting for the new translation. @ultimecea - Thanks for your time and help. I reinstalled the vn and did it exactly as was shown in the video, but the result was still the same. That "FH.exe has encountered a problem" error. I'm giving up on it for now. I'll wait for this new translation. Hopefully that will work.

I patched it after I moved it. I don't think the problem is with my drivers or codecs since it works fine without the patch. I uninstalled and installed it again, after patching it's giving this message: FH.exe encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, I followed your instructions. And now it's doing something else. I started up Windows, clicked on the icon, no message is displayed this time. A black screen opens up and the game closes immediately after. I keep trying to open it again from time to time, but the result is the same..

This time the patch worked fine, but now when I click on the FH icon a message is displayed: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, file. Make sure you have appropriate permissions to access the file. What do I do now?

I tried running it without the patch and it works. How do I install the patch now? Won't the same thing happen again?

Yes, it's 1152. I'll try that. I have the ISO mounted too. Here's a screenshot of the message that shows up: http://i47.tinypic.com/erzqpu.jpg
