Animu Mass Effect:
Mechs and Waifus Edition

Oooooh, so basically what Mass Effect should have been? I'm interested.

Sunrider: First Arrival recently popped up on steam, its a Sci-Fi themed VN where you command an assault carrier with a squadron of "Battle mechs" its pretty fun, using turn based combat and RPG themed elements to upgrade and travel around but with the story being in the style of a VN.

Downloading it nao. Also, that avatar picture. Can't recommend F/SN enough, even if the OP already did. I consider it to be the single greatest VN of all, rivaled only by Grisaia no Kajitsu.

Yeah I gotta agree, the fate series is great, I played the entire of FSN in about a week, effectively played non stop till completion.

If you have finished all F/SN routes, I gotta recommend Fate Hollow Ataraxia, fun as hell, serious but cheery and playful with some downright incredible scenes. (And it gives you a harem.)

Like for the real, they all totally want you.
And not to mention the eclipse scenarios...

Its definetly meant to be a fundisk sequel though, so dont take it too seriously.

(Some parts are untranslated in the english patch, but if you find the scene in http://seiba.us.to/entrans/main.php you can just read along.)


As for sunrider, its a blast so far, great soundtrack, partial voice acting, nice story, only minor complaint is a couple of the characters feel quite generic in their personalities, but their backstories more than enough make up for that.

Been trying to figure out for the past week where the hell I can get a vaguely affordable copy of F/S Night as a UK resident, and... I'm starting to think/realise it may not be possible I found one that looked good and then I realised it was $119.99 (about £70). Is this a fairly standard price, or am I just looking in the wrong places?

There are sites where you can *cough* download it for free.

And yes, that's a fairly standard price. It's not a recent VN, in fact it's an early 2000's VN

I can't find F/S Night at all. Is it a downloadable title, or a physical disc, or what? I've looked it up, and the results I've found are inconsistent at best.

Physical disk, but there are several sites that allow you to download it.

Hm... kay. I'll have to look into that further. Rin looks interesting. Other Rin, not Rin Rin. I mean she's interesting too, but you know what I mean.

When is a VN not a VN? Sometimes I think of a few of the text-adventure novels and experiences I've had, and they can be remarkably VN-like, emotionally speaking or aesthetically speaking. Perhaps the authors are trying to recreate VN as textual, to textualise the visual?

Little Busters or Clannad!

Look at a given thing. Is it a VN? No?

That's when it isn't a VN.

Only a demo, and an incomplete one due to a bug breaking the choice branches after a point, but it's decent. The sprite art style is kind of jarring against the backgrounds though. Too bright, too colorful...Doesn't mesh well like KS. Anyway, it's a paranormal horror affair with about a zabillion endings and its fair share of puns and valley girl speak.

I see promise here. Will watch.

The name made me arch an eyebrow, and sure enough, I had reason to.

This doesn't mean anything much, but at least it gives me sufficient reason to "damkids, can't pull out something original if their life depended on it, frikken frakken mumble grumble".

[CoffeeDrive]

Dont like the look of it really, seems like the same art style of shitty IOS farmville ripoffs.
