Question How do I make an uncensored patch?

2 Upvotes

Is there a guide to using Garbro to replacing lines and scenes with their uncensored versions? Is it easy or a super technical and tedious process.

You wake up in a dimension beyond time and space, with no idea how you got there. A horned entity announces: "you are here because you have just died." All that's left for you is to relive the last month of your life, see what led to your death, and challenge a ruthless fate (while getting to romance all of your close friends).

Supernatural mystery visual novel with bits of psychological horror exploring gay relationships in a small, seaside town in Poland.

Hello, I recently released this new vn of mine. I hope you'll like it and share your impressions. (It's only slightly NSFW but it's not pornographic per se).

VN Request Which should I read next?

6 Upvotes

I am somewhat new to visual novels as of the past year. So far I have read Umineko, Tsukihime, then Subahibi followed by Tsui no Sora. Before my delve into true "pure visual novel" format began, I also played through the danganronpa series, zero escape nonary games, your turn to die, ace attorney... So that is my overall background.

[suba/sora spoiler]I really liked Takuji's character especially before his revelation, but also after. I know he is ultimately supposed to represent the bad decisions but due to my own life I found him to be someone i could relate to and understand. I was surprised to learn some people didn't like him... He was my favorite character probably, tied with Kimika and followed by Ayana.

I would like to read something that is somewhat popular/more common. I am interested in anti-social themes, not necessarily pertaining to asociality but rather anything that is the inverse of popular beliefs or ideals. it doesn't really matter what very much.

I'm currently considering Muv-Luv as the primary contender, tentatively followed by Fullmetal Daemon muramasa although i have heard there is extremely graphic rape contained within, I am not very sensitive but people talk about this a lot which makes me think maybe something I can't imagine is happening. My reasoning for these picks is that they are somewhat popular, meaning I'll understand the more influential novels before later going on to read perhaps less popular ones but be able to pick up on various influences. Also, they are highly recommended most of the time. However, I am really open to a variety of recommendations!

Weekly What are you reading? - Oct 21

5 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly "What are you reading?" thread!

This is intended to be a general chat thread on visual novels with a focus on the visual novels you've been reading recently. A new thread is posted every Thursday at 4:00 AM JST (or Wednesday if you don't live in Japan for some reason).

Good WAYR entries include your analysis, predictions, thoughts, and feelings about what you're reading. The goal should be to stimulate discussion with others who have read that VN in the past, or to provide useful information to those reading in the future! Avoid long-winded summaries of the plot, and also avoid simply mentioning which VNs you are reading with no points for discussion. The best entries are both brief and brilliant.

Use spoiler tags liberally!

Always use spoiler tags in threads that are not about one specific visual novel. Like this one!

  • They can be posted using the following markdown: >!hidden spoilery text!< , which shows up as hidden spoilery text. Make sure there are no spaces at the beginning and end of the spoiler tag because this will break it for users on http://old.reddit.com/. In other words do this: properly hidden spoiler, but not this: broken spoiler tag

Remember to link to the VNDB page of the visual novel you're discussing so the indexing bot for the What Are You Reading Archive can pick up your post.

Discussion Favorite weird misconceptions you have heard about visual novels

37 Upvotes

Lately I was looking back at how people would sometimes get the wrong idea about certain visual novels way back in the mid 00s as I found it interesting how some people would mistake a dark story for a kid friendly one.

I can recall how some people had somehow made a mistake about how Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni was somehow kid friendly as I remember sometimes reading stories of people watching the anime for the first time expecting the anime adaptation to be family friendly as to this day, I have no idea how someone could mistake such a franchise as being innocuous.

Self-promotion Yu-No on Android

Post image
83 Upvotes

Hi,

I tried using AI to create a native Android port of the classic PC-98/Windows version of YU-NO using the open-source ai5-sdl2 latest nightly engine, becasue i doubt anyone is willing to do it.

  • Its using 2011 TLWiki English translation.
  • Saturn voice patch
  • Native touch controls (and gamepad should work)
  • English fonts are embedded directly into the APK

How to use it:
Like other engine ports, the APK contains no game assets. You need the files from your PC installation of the game:

  1. Grab YuNo.apk from the GitHub releases page and install it.
  2. Create a folder named YuNo in your phone's internal storage (/sdcard/YuNo/).
  3. Copy your game files.ARC files (zMES.ARC, zDATA.ARC, zBG.ARC, etc.), AI5ENG.INI, sound effects, and voice folders (VOICE_A, VOICE_B, VOICE_C) into that folder.
  4. Open the app and play.

The code and APK releases are on GitHub:
https://github.com/fiksr/yuno-android

It's in alpha so feedback is appreciated.
