@yetighettoslang @KoreyKore @Kajoq Wait, you guys are the commentary at Evo? This is gonna be must-see TV.

@KENGALLON I tried to make this work as an anti-air once, because the first hitbox of the attack is very high. But, I could never find the confidence to use it because it was so slow. I bet there are some situations where it could be really strong, though... I just never found them, lol.

@TheDavidVinc Got to the very end, got a new phone, and found out the hard way that it didn't support cloud saves (or at the very least, I didn't have a saved game to download). Wasn't worth the trouble of going through again, but it was decent!

@saccardiop You are literally describing the average Japanese Visual Novel

@XanozIchimonji They did RE3 so dirty...

[Johnny Thunderwave @GLJamie]

@KENGALLON It's funny how many times I've told people who don't play VSav, "This character can just fly towards you while blocking! Isn't that stupid!?" Until one day, I realized, "How different is that from jumping forward and air-blocking, really?" lol.

@vnka_world Hello, I was playing the Steam version of Medetashi Medetashi and there appears to be no music - just sound effects. I found a browser demo that had music in places where it was silent on the Steam version, so I thought this might be a bug, and wanted to report it.

[Johnny Thunderwave @GLJamie]

@SaGa_NeilB Yo it kind of looks like potato ice cream with bacon sprinkles

@takenoo2 こんにちは。Steam版『めでたしめでたしまで』でBGMが再生されず、効果音しか聞こえませんでした。私の環境の問題かもしれませんが、ブラウザ版デモではBGMが流れていたため、ご報告させていただきます。
素敵な作品をありがとうございます！

@ef_a_tale_of_SK My favorite VNs are Gyakuten Saiban and 9-Jikan 9-Nin 9 no, Tobira. But, at least in the west, some people don't consider it a visual novel if it has gameplay. If we remove games with gameplay mechanics, I'd pick Musicus, Marco to Ginga Ryuu, Aokana, and Gatenkei.

@LucyPyre_ Yo me and a bunch of friends just started streaming this together last night. I love how there's no obvious chain of causality in the bad endings, e.g you stay in the bath a little too long and get strangled to death by your brother lmfaoooo can't wait to see more.

@SaGa_NeilB I did QA for The Secret of Varonis, an homage to the Gameboy SaGa games: https://t.co/BjvmPZoUbZ

My approach to QA was to assume exactly what you said. The last thing I wanted to see was our game go viral based on someone misunderstanding the game and then being loud about it.

After having their *completely SFW* game banned by Steam before launch, both Siren's Call games by @SirensCallGame will be available on the JAST Store.

The first is currently available (20% OFF!) and the second (the banned one...) is available for wishlisting.

Links below!

[Johnny Thunderwave @GLJamie]

@jastusa @SirensCallGame Yo, thanks! The first Siren's Call is not just my favorite English VN, it's also just a truly excellent VN, regardless. Thanks for helping out a really talented up-and-coming visual novel dev that people should be keeping their eyes on.

[Johnny Thunderwave @GLJamie]

This seems like an unusually high amount of damage off a PRC post-2.0 patch. This might actually be a good use of 50 meter. The second video, not so much - just a proof of concept that it can be used with other gatlings.

@MoonJellyKevin @DrDoctorLilith I haven't considered Lilith low tier for a long time, now lol

@SaGa_NeilB Silver Star Harmony used a more accurate translation... But it was real dorky, and the lyrics were very awkward from a singer's perspective (syllable emphasis not matching metric emphasis, inconsistent use of rhyme scheme, several vocal stops on fast passages). It was not great.

[Johnny Thunderwave @GLJamie]

@SaGa_NeilB I always loved the original lyrics to Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete's opening song. They put a rough translation of the original lyrics in the manual, and then just rewrote the lyrics to try and catch what I imagine was a similar vibe.

@Ultra_Arcade @AlexSmithFGC Let's go!
