It’s been a while since I’ve read them. But for “hours”, I’d go with the following (all assuming autoplay set to change text upon completion of spoken lines):

Air: I don’t read Japanese or broken machione translated English, so…

Planetarian: I’d say between 5-8 hours. Not too long, but not exactly chort either.

Tomoyo After: 30-35. I started reading at my own pace halfway through, but I’d say that’s a safe assumption

Kud Wafter: See Air, minus machine translation

Rewrite: 111 Hours. I recorded it for a friend who didn’t have a PC at the time so he could read it on mobile.

Harvest Festa: 20-25 Hours. Assuming most lines are voiced, as it’s scripts are roughly 1/5 the kb’s as Rewrite

Most of the VNs have a playthrough on Youtube. The playlists for them should show the length of all the videos combined~
They are always set to auto mode so it’s a good estimate~

Does anyone know a good place/site where I can download any of the visual novels?

Please understand.

I have a question about Kanon. With the newest Standalone ‘Memorial Edition’, is there any way to apply an English patch to it?

It should work fine, with a few extra steps~
After installing Kanon ME you would have to manually install the translation patch (by moving the translation files to their corresponding folders) and then replace the Reallive.exe in your Kanon installation directory with Kanon Standard Edition’s Reallive.exe (ver 1.2.6.8) After that, run the English Translation’s reallive-patch.exe on the Reallive.exe and it should be translated.

It might be worth testing this… Thanks!

#15

It definitely works~ :stuck_out_tongue: The only problem is that the custom Kanon mouse doesn’t work. You are left with the default mouse icon.
They moved the location of the custom mouse pointer into the folder where all the other images are stored~

Is there any way to translate Clannad Memorial Edition into English?

#17

There was a patch that I used back then that converted the regular edition of Kanon into the all-ages version…

As for clannad, I am honestly unsure as to the status of the patches of that game. And Doki seems to be pretty quiet about it as well

#18

It’d probably work in the same way as Kanon, but I’d just wait for Doki’s to release.

They have a small team working on it. Currently it is school studying week, but they have been making progress. Doki lost their community manager (who occasionally comments over there) so public updates are rare, however their IRC is a great place to get small update news.

lol

I wouldn’t.

Hey, if it wasn’t for them Tomoyo After would still be lost in the void of abandoned translations.

Does anyone have Clannad ME and could test the Doki patch on it?

#22

If nobody does I may have to try and test that myself.
Also! Does anybody have information on the real life location the Little Busters school was based off, if any? I haven’t heard any information about it.

#23

I have the ME that I could test it on, but I already sent it back home, so I wouldn’t be able to test it for about another month or so…

I’d say Planetarian took me about 4-6 hours to play? This was the iPad version in case it makes any difference…

Holy hell man, I feel sorry for you, it took you that long? D:
In case anyone’s curious, I actually kept track of exactly how much time it took me to play Rewrite: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtKhPSL6UNZ1dGszUEtVeHpTRWV2cFZKVEc4c3N5Qnc&usp=sharing
I read fast though and most of the time I didn’t bother listening to 100% of the sound bites. This is 99% completion though (I got the oppai route without the Sukumon friends, and I can’t be bothered to go back and replay it again just for 100%)

Best part is the friend hasn’t even touched it. www
Said he’s expecting an anime. WWW

I don’t know how I missed this. Anyways, I don’t have an estimate for Air, but Tomoyo After (not counting D&T) took me about 16 hours; Planetarian is about 6 hours; Kud wafter took me about 20 hours, but my Japanese reading isn’t the fastest. Harvest Festa is actually really short if you don’t include Rewrite Quest. It only took me about 10 hours to do all of the stories.

it should work, since there were no edits (as far as I know at least) to the text. the only area that might cause problems is the engine not working, but I doubt that would be the case. I don’t actually own a copy of Clannad ME though, so all i can say is it will probably work.

Its a school in Tokyo, but I don’t know the exact name of it, sorry.

I’m having a hard time getting this CG in Little Busters! Perfect Edition (not patched)

Link

I’ve got 3 out of 4 of this particular CG set. Tried following a walkthrough, but to no avail. I’ve already tried so many things, but I just can’t seem to get that blasted CG. It’s driving me nuts. I’ve completed Refrain and gone through Kud’s route again after that. It just won’t show up. What am I supposed to do?
