Community The Visual Novel Council | All Choices Lead To Here
- Thread starter Ascheroth
- Start date
This is an interesting development.
It's fairly expensive (3,000 JPY is about 28 USD), but it could still be an attractive prospect for those who read VNs regularly, considering how expensive VNs are in Japan.

The FutureFunk track in the trailer has me convinced.
Is it confirmed when Death Come True will be releasing?
For some reason i thought it was set of June 4th, but I can't find that confirmation anywhere, so I may have totally imagined that =/

I read June as well somewhere (and wikipedia also has June as the release date), but I'm not sure if it's only for Japan.
June release date was confirmed few months ago on their digital panel (Famitsu has an article about it) and that's it for now, I think. It's probably only for Japan, although they were talking about supporting multiple languages so who knows - it's a short game so there's some hope for a simultaneous release.
Unrelated, but this released two days ago and there are never enough ZE-lites. It's a second game in the series but apparently you can start with either of these.
First game is only available on Itch for now but I think I've seen something about Steam release once everything with BMC is done.

Thank you for your review, Francis W.M.
If anyone else is interested in learning more about the game, and its making, do check the blog on the official website.
I was reading some of it yesterday, while I was looking up some info on the game, and it's very interesting, with lots of details on their aesthetic choices, soundtrack, narrative, ...

Root Letter Last Answer, the updated version of the Visual Novel game Root Letter, that allows players to select either a drawn/animation, or a live action presentation, is currently at its lowest price, with a 70% discount:
It might be worth mentioning that the Switch version of Aokana is PEGI 16 and therefore doesn't include the H-contents.
You can use SteamDB to filter the sales by tag, by discount, and by rating.
For example, the following shows all games tagged VN, with a >= 75% positive rating, and a >= 50% discount:
Golden Week Sale 2020 · Visual Novel · Games only · US
And if you install the SteamDB browser extension, then you can exclude already owned titles and stuff like that.
That's pretty wild.
I wonder if this was done at the behest of Valve, or if Frontwing simply decided to submit only the parts they were absolutely sure could pass even the most stringent review.
yeah, just making sure people know they gotta download the patch for the story
My uneducated guess is the latter, as people usually seem to imply Valve isn't too big on communication, unless they're being more cooperative.
That said Nekonyan did manage to get back onto Steam a refused/banned(?) game so maybe sometimes they cooperate more?
Guess we'll never know unless we make our own porny game and try to submit it!

Yeah, everything I've heard suggests that the review process is one big black box, and you're screwed unless you happen to have a friendly contact at Valve who can help you if your game gets the boot. Or unless you manage to make enough of a stir that somebody notices, like with The Expression Amrilato.
Works for me on two different connections, so it is might be your ISP that has issues atm.what the actual f**k

I cannot seem to be able to enter frontwing website from Europe unless I use a VPN (and use a NA ip), anyone else with this problem or is it me?

I fixed it now, had to restart the router or it absolutely wouldn't let me access their website
Master Magistrate got a release date (out of Early Access) on the June 12th:
steamcommunity.com
It is an Ace Attorney-esque game set in feudal Japan and the translation seems to be pretty good based on what little I've read. Note that the price will be increased from $20 to $30 when it leaves Early Access (with a 20% launch discount), so now is a good time to grab it if you are interested:
This month's Visual Novel Book club is also up, this time for ENIGMA:
ENIGMA: is currently 50% off if you don't already own it:
Steam :: Master Magistrate :: Full release on June 12!
Master Magistrate will emerge from Early Access on June 12, 2020, with the release of the second half of the story.

I'm thinking about starting Umineko, but I've always wondered, what's so good about it?
Also, I see there are different versions? Like the steam/mangagamerand one from a 07th group?

It's is a great (meta) mystery with a fantastic cast of characters.
If you enjoy mystery stories, then Umineko is definitely worth a read.
With regards to versions, the version released MangaGamer is the best translation, updated after the full series had been released and the translators had read the entire thing (it was originally translated while it was being released). In addition, you have the choice of using the original graphics and graphics based on a pachinko game (both are included in the MG version), as well as the option of using the graphics from the PS3 version by way of the 07th mods. Pick whichever you prefer.
The 07th mods also adds the voices from the PS3 version, which are highly recommended regardless of which graphics you choose to go with.

Umineko is absolutely amazing, definitely my favourite VN 
Thanks for the answer. Is already completed on steam correct? Not like Igurashi where there's the last chapter missing?
Also, does the ADV mod work too? I'm not used to VN with texts written all over the screen
The ADV mod works well during my playthrough. However, in case of updates, if you update the mod mid-chapter sometimes the text and voice timing will go out of sync.
I recommend only updating the mod in-between chapters and not during.
Was wondering if they would wait for TDA 04 to come out and make a full package, especially since they skipped putting it on consoles in the Flowers/Melodies compilations. If they do localize it I wonder how they'll tackle it
The Day After is more like a spinoff that branches off from a certain point then a proper sequel, Integrate is so far off they've admitted they aren't even sure if it will be a VN, so who knows that the structure will be like.

You'll want to avoid spoilers for this VN if at all possible. Per the translator:
YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story
Shinichi wants nothing more than to lead a quiet life. Though he was once close friends with Miyuki, the most popular girl in school, his desire for normalcy now keeps them from being anything more than classmates. Miyuki or Aoi－when the time comes, which will Shinichi choose?

I've read the ATRI demo for about an hour. Looks pretty good, but the setting is kind of depressing and I was already melancholic enough from reading Summer Pockets.
I'll get back to it at some point, hopefully.
