VN STEAM CHALLENGE

Okay AA, I have a plan which might be quite fun. The idea of the challenge is that people will sign up to all play visual novels together. Similar to a reading club, but this time we'll purposely play all the bad ones... which is most on Steam. All the big ones such as Clannad, Kira Kira and A Drug That Makes You Dream are way overdone, the idea is we play all the indie ones on steam, together. We all start at the same time, are given a deadline to finish and then round up on a thread to discuss. We then have a few days break until the next one.

What I want to do here is a draw up a rulebook, get members interested in playing and signing up and also get some suggestions for what visual novels we should play and in what order. So post away and lets get some discussion going.

Beta Rules

• Game must be available on steam to purchase (how you end up getting it is down to you)
  
• Members must participate in all games and complete them by the pre-set deadline
  

Games to play

• Sakura Spirit
  
• Hatoful Boyfriend

Participants

• Happeh

This is a pretty cool idea, like a book club with purposefully bad books! If my computer can run it you can sign me up, it's about time AA did another group thing.

[Jay‌]

Now wait a minute ollie.

You mean to tell me you are purposefully going to be playing shit games on steam that are made for suckers who like anything related to anime?

GG.

[Angеl]

I wanna be like all the cool kids that read VN's!

Count me in Happeh.

They're both pretty cheap I'd be down to give this a try. Do you know when you're going to set a deadline?

[Nonon Jakuzure]

Out of the two choices you have up, which is the worst in terms of plot?

[tweety]

Sounds interesting but I think I'll pass, I got 6 different VN's I need to catch up with and so many series.. >_<! Let me know how it goes, keep this updated.

[*]Members must participate in all games and complete them by the pre-set deadline

Would it be possible if I could only play some games?
School's going to start and I don't know if I can keep up.
Other than that it seems like a pretty cool idea.

Hatoful Boyfriend is the PINNACLE of pigeon dating simulation! No others can even compete!

-snip-

But seriously, I don't like the idea of giving money to bad developers for the comedy of it so they can continue to produce half-assed content.. :/ (Mainly directed at Sakura Spirit. The shortcomings in Hatoful Boyfriend could be intentional and mainly for comedy, (which would be fine) but I don't know about it. Haven't read.)

I think it might be better to designate "pieces" of the VN to read, and discuss it at the end of the piece (rather than discuss at the end of the whole thing). It would probably give more to talk about. I'm not exactly sure how you could tell people where to stop though.

I kinda agree with King~ here. I wouldn't want to see Sakura Spirit 2 in the works. .-.

[Hume]

Nah, screw the ones on Steam. Wouldn't you rather play master pieces like 'OverAwesomeKill Fucks Bitches and Owns the Olympian Gods'?

As much as I agree, I hope us downloading their $3 VN will do much for them. Even so there's other places we can get it without playing. I just suggested Steam, because... well pretty much all are terrible. I wouldn't want to play pieces, would ruin the idea of forcing yourself through a game. We want to try and embrace all its badness. :p

I don't mind that, its just I don't want people picking and choosing which ones they play and what they don't. Idea is you play all the bad ones. So yes, but dont miss many if you can.

Super down for that, if you can provide a solid DL link I'll add it to the list. :p

WILL UPDATE THE LIST SOON.

ANY IDEAS FOR MORE VN'S, RULES ETC?

[Jay‌]

We could play something like True Remembrance, Narcissu, or how about Saya no Uta?

[Hume]
