Ah, I was wondering. @Belerith would you be planning to play it? Or have you also played already? I’d feel kinda weird if I end up being the only one actually playing/watching
That’s basically what I’d do if I was gonna make the thread. I don’t necessarily mind making the thread, since it doesn’t need a schedule or much of any maintenance
It’s actually more like 10 hours, there are 50 videos but they’re all around 20 min. But even so he must be playing really slowly. From what I’ve seen not having the full game is kind of common with jp streamers I think it’s considered rude or something. There are also games that have like a certain point after which they don’t allow streaming but idk if it’s the case (and if so how much its enforced).
I searched again if there was someone else who uploaded it but nope. Well at least we know before the vote ended. I’ll update the nomination post too.
btw I think the demo is about 1/4 of the game or more because I have read for hours and have 23% cgs unlocked and I still am not pass the demos end point (and I’m at my 4th sex scene )
Ok wow that’s still at least 16.5 hrs. The other streamers you mentioned definitely went way faster
You mean like V-tubers and stuff? It’s probably so people buy the actual game, rather than just watch the playthrough instead (which the publisher might not be so happy about)… I’ve found plenty of full playthroughs though - but mostly for older games I guess. I wonder if 空の軌跡 the 1st will end up with one in the near future
tbf I only realized later they removed a very sizeable chunk of the game.
I also found this playthrough (of the trial version again…no one get their hopes up) which doesn’t skip anything (besides sex scenes) so probably better way to judge the length. this also has english subs though idk if anyone here cares about that.
I think the sex is kind of front loaded, maybe they wanted to put each pairing in the demo portion. If so there will be a 5th sex scene for the last 2 characters before its over which leaves us with 4 for the rest of the game.
Now that I think about it はるまで、くるる by the same devs is in/famous for starting with a lot of sex and then getting more serious so probably same thing here.
Btw if Flowers wins, it will probably be pretty long going (certainly longer than Fuyu, and I probably won’t be going super fast - especially if I’m playing it, rather than watching the videos). Any chance you’d join when you’re done with Fuyu? (No obligation or anything)
While I am absolutely interested in Flowers I am not sure. I’m kind of annoyed the steam version I already owned doesn’t have jp. Though it also seems like a shame to not join the vn club for something that I know I am interested in, both because id like to be able talk about it and I want the club to be more active. Also my reading speed is frankly quite slow so I am not sure if by the point im done with fuyukuru it will be feasible to catch up.
So uh, maybe? Can’t promise anything at this point.
If flowers wins are we intending to play all 4 of the games? Or just the first one?
Fair enough. Just the first one, as that’s what was nominated… And also like let’s see if we even make it to the end
Mm, the downsides of outsourced localization.
If it does win, I’ll probly post on WK too, to see if anyone’s interested. Like they had a club there already in 2023… But going through an old thread is different than reading something at the same time. So who knows
Also, I don’t mind putting the start date off a couple of weeks, after the vote ends, if it makes it easier for ppl to join. (Which would be personally convenient too, since I’m fairly absorbed in 空の軌跡 rn)
Yep! I haven’t been able to find a physical copy so I’d just get it on the eShop or maybe the playstore when the time comes. One of the versions with voice acting.
Btw I was thinking, would anyone be interested in a general vn discussion thread? Idk how many of us read vns regularly but some of the discussion above probably would be more suited to something like that.
Just make Fuyukuru the club read, since 2 ppl are reading it already

I think it’s best to just make Fuyukuru the club read for now, and plan to read Flowers next (or hold another vote when the time comes I guess). Though personally, I’m not sure whether I’ll join for the next few weeks anyway, b/c I’ve got a lot on my plate rn.
Ok well 4 out of 5/6 voted for Fujimara - so that’s our answer. If someone else could setup the thread for that, I’d appreciate it. Otherwise I probably won’t get to it until Thursday
