  5. With the help of an open source Adobe Flash emulator called Ruffle, we take a look at the original Flash version of a Japanese visual novel called Gogatsu no Sora (localized for al|together 2008 as May Sky).

  6. La’s Silver Hair in True Remembrance

    La, the 17-year old co-protagonist of the excellent visual novel True Remembrance, has silver hair. The rest of the cast have seemingly natural and expected hair colors. I study La’s unexpected silver mane.

  13. Now in the latter stretch of my project to review nearly 30 freeware Japanese visual novels translated in 2005, 2006, and 2008 - I cover Flood of Tears. This is one of the better ones (in my view) thanks to the strong rapport between two of its three main characters. It has distinct Kanon vibes (FOTS was originally published in 2001), but it is an all-ages affair. While it has its flaws, I concur with the translators that it has a great amount of heart -- and it is one of the better al|together VNs of the 18 I have reviewed to date.

    (Note for Linux users: I explain how to run the Windows .exe for FOTS natively on Linux using ONScripter-EN in the post.)

  19. I am working on a project to review 30 free doujin visual/sound novels that were translated into English with the consent of the creators between 2005 and 2008. My latest review was of "From the Bottom of the Heart" ("Negaeba"), a story that takes about 10 minutes to read, but leaves the reader with more than that to think about.

    I wrote a separate analysis - linked in the article.
