Choices aren't needed for the core of a VN, Kinetic Novel is what are called that kind of VNs.

Ok no choose-your-own-adventure. Ciel said there was audio. There is some VNs (actually, there is a lot) that have no voices, so it isn't necessary for the core of a VN.

Well, in certain VNs, you do have to make choices that will determine what kind of ending you get. Also the narrative of some games are told in a VN style, but still have gameplay. It's pretty much an interactive manga with voice acting and special/sound effects. The voicing acting isn't like an audio book, rather its the character themselves speaking, like watching an anime or listening to a Drama CD. Parts where no one is speaking, it won't have voice acting. Interactive means there are points in a Visual Novel where you have to choose between a few choices, and the story will progress from what you pick. There's a chance for you to meet a dead end(I recommend you see these, they're awesome), or continue with the story. People generally save before choosing, so they can witness what happens with each choice, and not lose progress if they meet a dead end. Here's an example of player choice: Most Visual Novels have a gimmick of some sort that makes them unique. Tears to Tiara is a full on game for example. Fate/Stay Night has a status menu thing that gives you info about a certain group of characters, among other things like info on weapons that you have seen so far. It really adds to the experience. An example of Fate/Stay Night's Status Menu thing: Visual Novels that don't have player choice are called Kinetic Novels. Planetarian ~The Reverie of a Little Planet~ for example is a Kinetic Novel(and a freakin' damn good one at that). I know what Anime and Manga are, but what is a "visual novel"? Arcueid teachings: what is a visual novel, sensei?!

If a group of people express a desire to make a group with a purpose, designate leaders who can approve membership, and keep those leaders involved then we can create those groups. Having a group for sword vs whip or alchemy vs science or CV Dungeon, Clan Broadsword, Operation Akumajo, etc. would be possible, but is it really desired and necessary? I think a must have group is the Wine Addicts, don't you agree, Mr. Cale?

Seems that Ancient Legion is already decided, not a bad name, but I liked clan of the ancients better. Is feels good to be part of something since the beginning It's not already decided. I think it's about time for a second poll though that will allow only one selection per voter. That will determine what the groups name will be. Before I make it, do we have any other proposed group names for the final vote that would get more than 10 votes? I'm limiting this next poll to as few options as possible. True Ancestor and Great Old Ones are in a draw, which will survive to the next stage?

I just had to do it, this slight variation: I almost feel bad. That's very damn good, drunk Miriam is cute. 6/10 is uber cute, but not knowing the context makes it hard to appreciate the humor of the expression ... the cloud in the background just in front of his mouth kinda looks like a dick ... is that why he has that uncomfortable smile? is he being forced to give a cloud man a B/J while being awkwardly excited? If so, 10/10 to the animators for awkward cloud man sex in an anime. Oh man, I can't unsee that! Haha. That's just the regular smile. It's Ging from HunterxHunter. He's the character I related to the most from the show due to personality, interest in archaeology and in constantly learning/adventuring. Edited since minor possible spoilers for some. Character shows up a bit late in the show. I would say "almost in the end". 8/10, Ging is an awesome character.

I once said on the KS comments B:RN since its IGA's style "born" again. ooohh I like this. Bloodstained when spoken, B:RN for short. I just don't want people to refer to the game as either BS (Bull Sh!t) or RotN (Rotten). I don't think people would do such jokes, RotN is fine bro.

Good summary of the facts we know until now, useful for people that aren't following the news.
Are you going to keep this up-to-date?

what's the "legion" reference here? I guess i'm hesitant to cast my vote for something referencing vampirical if the thought behind the game is mostly alchemical This thing right here.

That's a Custom Title. When you go to edit your profile, do you have a "Staff Options" tab? That's where you type in your custom title. I didn't mean to confuse anyone. The staff options tab should not be there. I would love to give everyone custom titles but I have to hold back for now. 8gif Y-you meanie!

I like that second title under the bat... very nice! That's a Custom Title. When you go to edit your profile, do you have a "Staff Options" tab? That's where you type in your custom title. I don't have such thing ._. *feeling segregated now*

Yes, yes. I'm wondering what rank is after Alchemist, and so on. New Blood - Gold Bat - 0 posts Familiar - Red Bat - 50 posts Alchemist - Purple Bat - 100 posts Demon - Black Bat - 250 posts Elder Demon - Black Bat - 500 posts Ancient Legion - Dark Blue Bat - first member group status I see we need a color for Demon. What should we choose, gray? Crystal Demon, it isn't a color, but what about it? If we have to choose one, I would go with black.
