Is there a list of fully voiced VNs somewhere?

I listen to drama CDs at work during slow hours, but I ran out of fun ones (all 3 of them) and need an alternative. VNs are just text with a couple pictures anyway, so it'd be the perfect replacement. Hit auto, continue work.

I think I played through Tomoyo After back in 2005 because she was my favourite Clannad character, and I recall it being not great but still decent. That was 10 years ago so maybe I remember wrong.

Also, looks like it's coming to steam too:

quote:

"The Memorial Edition of Tomoyo After has a differing storyline from the original and contains substantially more text than the aforementioned hentai version."

Has been announced by VisualArts for official release on Steam. It is currently unknown who, if anyone, is their partner for this.

Please look forward to a billion nerds crying censorship, when the edition in question never had any porn in it!

but I've heard good things about Akai Ito as well.

I played this an eternity ago, and liked it a lot. It was really good. It's a ps2 title so you can probably play it on a phone these days?

I've heard of a couple VNs that supposedly have more gameplay than visual novel things, but I have no idea if any of them are all ages, and I'm not going to be checking that at work :v:

Wait, I thought hanabira games were nukiges? How did that make its way to steam and not get terrible reviews.

I guess I should check it out.

Just about every video game is made by men so you may find your choices severely limited here.

Seeing how a pretty large chunk of high profile vn artists and scenarists are women, that seem like a really silly thing to post in the vn thread imho. Yes, there's more things made by men, but it's nowhere near as dominant as in other types of games.

also, lol at "women can't program"

Both RDP and chome remote desktop support sound. Buy some headphones, go wild.

I wish more VNs were fully voiced, they're perfect audiobook material, but usually at least the protag and narrator/inner thoughts things aren't.

A big help for learning a language is also TV. I got told by my german teacher in school that watching shows and films on german tv was one of the best ways to pick up the language, because they're all dubbed over into german, and the voices are all nicely pronounced since it's a dubover rather than straight acting.

It worked great for me. For japanese though, not german. :v:

Any way you go about it though, maximizing input is the best way to acquire a language:

i dunno about DA, but i definitely wish mass effect was a straight up VN every time i play because all that walking, elevators and combat just get in the way of the storytelling

e: this post isn't meant to be a "games should be more like books or films" post but more of a "a half-decent story probably shouldn't be interrupted regularly by crappy gameplay unless that gameplay somehow advances the story by itself, but bioware can't really pull that off apparently"

basically, it's the same issue i have with tomb raider. i installed that game to explore walls and climb areas, and then over 50% of the game is a really shoddy shooter. why?
