Tutorial on Extracting text from PSP visual novels on PPSSPP emulator (using Textractor & ITHVNR)

Extracting JP text from PSP games running on PPSSPP emulator was considered to be only a pipedream until the amazing Jiichi added PPSSPP support to his text hooker program Visual Novel Reader (VNR)…

For people interested in playing the PSP visual novels using machine translation: 

I wrote a tutorial (with videos) on my wordpress blog about how to extract text from untranslated JP PSP games using 1) PPSSPP and 2) either ITHVNR or Textractor. Both of these methods are much more lightweight than VNR, so check them out!

Hey there, I've been out of the otome scene for a little while, so correct me if I'm wrong. Are you the former otomegirlkawaii or am I confusing you with someone else? Thanks :)

Hi, I think you’re confusing me with another :)

Visually impaired otome players

I’m looking for people who are visually impaired and play visual novels and/or otome games.

I want to make my indie otome game accessible to the visually impaired so they too, can enjoy visual novels. However, as someone who can see without issues, I cannot say what would be the best way to optimize my game so that the visually impaired can play it.

I would love it if any visual novel fan who is visually impaired could reach out to me so we can discuss how to make the game more accessible for them.

You can reach me through my Twitter: https://twitter.com/Celianna_C Or on Discord: Celianna#9721

Now we know where that Erik doll really ended up…

Discipline

Today I received a surprise email. It’s an apology letter about something that happened years ago in regards of a failed commission. (Not gonna disclose who for privacy purposes.)

I hired this person in the past, but they failed to fulfill the commission in a timely manner, so I ended up dropping them. I told them that, “you may be talented, but without discipline, you aren’t going to go far.” Harsh words, but that’s the reality.

These words have stuck with them ever since, and become the motivator for them to become better, work harder, and that’s how they are able to keep following their dream. It was a very heartfelt email that touched my heart.

So, why do I decide to talk about this?

Ever since I started working on games, one of the hardest things for me is working with other people. Probably one of the biggest reasons for many failed projects is caused by team members losing interest. It’s difficult to keep working when you are the only person who cares.

Personally, I have seen many talented people whose talent are wasted because they lack discipline. But here is the thing, I didn’t start off as someone who could finish projects. When I started drawing manga at the age of 11, I had dozens of unfinished stories. As I grew older, the number of finished projects increased as I became better at disciplining myself.

Yes, discipline is something that can be learned! If you have difficulty in finishing something, don’t give up! Use every of your previous work as a stepping stone to become better. Not just in term of skill, but also the discipline to work.

And for those who are able to master discipline, pat yourself in the back. You deserve it! ^^b

Synopsis:

Saleana is a 20 years-old vampire living with her grand-parent. It is a must for a 20 years-old vampire to go on a lone human hunt but our missy outright opposes it. The reason? It’s because she doesn’t drink human blood like others. But finally, after all the nagging and pleading of her grand-parent, she decides to give it a try. Who could be more suitable to be her target than this random handsome guy she meets on the road? But wait, he’s a priest???

Tumblr  | Official Website |  Blog | Facebook | Twitter |Forum | Kickstarter| Instagram| Newsletter| Demo download link

New demo is released! Wo-hoo~!

The new demo contains most of the features that you can see in final release, with the only exception being foreplay mode (and you’ll not be close enough with the guys to have sex with them anyway :p)

What is Seiyuu Danshi?

Seiyuu Danshi is a Japanese-style Visual Novel / Dating sim centering around life as a voice actor. In this game, you’ll play as a newbie voice actor who strives to win for the year-end Seiyuu Award. On his way to reach his goal, though, he will still live his daily life and YOU get to make the choices on how he should spend his days!

The game is highly interactive and there’s no usual restriction in plot that you get in ordinary VNs. If you don’t feel like working, feel free to slack. If you feel like being single for the rest of your life, yes it can be done! Just keep in mind that ALL your actions matter and will decide how the game ends!

The game boasts on the various features you can’t find in other dating sim. Below is summary of Seiyuu Danshi’s features!

Don’t forget to give us feedback on the demo! It means a lot =)

‘Extend the demo’ social media campaign!

Do you think 3 weeks in-game is too short? Wanna play a longer version of the demo? If we reach our social media campaign, you can do so! 

If we manage to reach the 100 FB shares, 200 Twitter RTs, and 3000 notes on Tumblr, we’ll release a demo with gameplay time of 6 WEEKS, which means a DOUBLE of gameplay time from this demo! (and you’ll even get to see Shiba’s birthday AND Valentine’s day IF we reach the campaign goal! Wow~~).

Please help us spread word about this ^_^

(Also… share this post to get the chance for extended #SeiyuuDanshi demo! :D :D)

{CLICK HERE] to know more about Seiyuu Danshi

The wait has come to an end… The voice actor voting has officially started! Don’t forget to place your vote! ^_^

So, here are some things that you should know before the voting!

-First of all, this voting is a “blind voting”, which means we’ll not disclose any information regarding the voice actor behind the voice (so the voters will judge the voice actors purely by by his voice)

-There are TWO finalists for each role, and they are each labelled contestant “A” or “B”.

-The final cast will be decided by 3 factors, which are:

The backers+ voting, which is held in the private area of our official forum (ONLY for Kickstarter backers who pledged $30 and up)

Public voting. For the public voting, we use Google form to collect the responds. Check out the forms below!

Last is the Developer and casting director’s opinion.

Each candidate has a video made exclusively for him. The video contains the voice actor’s take on the character WITH the actual gameplay footage taken from the current game build as the video’s visual. We hope that it would make it easier for you guys to decide which to vote for with the visual added, so don’t forget to check out the video before voting! In each video, there are also some delicious sexy voices’ take. Not with an actual image, unfortunately, because we had to keep it as SFW as possible :p :p :p

The voting period will last 1 MONTH, starting from 1 October to 1 November 2016.

- How to place your vote -

1. Click on each guy’s images below.

2. It will redirect you to the Google Form for each character. To prevent double voting, we require signing in to your Google account.

3. In there, there are entry videos for each voice actor (hosted in Youtube). Please watch the video first before voting!

4. Lastly, place your vote! Which do you like better? The “A” voice actor or “B” voice actor? If you feel that neither of them is suited for the role, you can also choose the “no one is suited for the role” option.

Approximately, each character already have 500++ votes in (some already has 600 votes, while others still have 400++ votes) Still, we haven’t gotten a clear result on who’s the fan favourite, so we still need even more voters to help us decide =)
