VNs are a niche market, most people who are into VNs have probably either read Clannad or have no interest. $40 is the most I think any VN costs in the US on Steam.
Ohh. So letās just say, if one day, Rewrite gets a translation, does that mean it would cost more ? Oh, and is CLANNAD the longest visual novel at steam ?
Again, most VN fans that want to have already read Rewrite, you also have to take into account even though this may be their first official English release these games are 4 (Rewrite) and 11 (Clannad) years old, games from 2004 remastered arenāt $60. I have no idea about length though, Hatoful Boyfriend and Huniepop are both fairly long but I havenāt played either so I have no idea if they reach Clannadās length.
Assuming you are talking about Harmonia, it looks like she just followed the standard. Base color, shading separating each section of hair and some at the top of the head, and then just a few curves of highlighting where the hair hits the light. The standard zig-zag shape is still used, but itās not as discernible. The only thing unconventional I see about the art is the texture used. Itās a simple canvas pattern that she probably uses as a brush (either in placement of, or as the removal of, some of the darker shading.) Itās also slapped onto the darker parts of clothing.
I think the eyes are more interesting. Itās very defined. I canāt find the balance to replicate it.
Thereās a whole bunch of engines to use. Reallivemax, Renpy, O2, Unity, you could find a large amount with a google search. They all do pretty much the same things, though Unity has extra functionality.
Iād argue against that. Lots and lots of VN readers have put it off. Whether itās the art style, the length, the translation, the availability, the mark it may have on their history with the anime. People like excuses.
Clannad probably wouldnāt even on the board for some people if the translation wasnāt happening.
I wouldnāt be surprised. People like to milk those remakes and remasters.
Australia wouldnāt be surprised either >.>

I donāt think the Steam release would change these two, the rest I agree with.
I was referring to the US here (or anywhere where games are 60 whatevers).
It wont, but if I know anything about Steam users, buying a game that theyāll never play is a common shopping tactic.

Is it possible to send a story to the president of visual arts ?
for what purpose?
If you know Japanese, you can always try I suppose; itās doubtful whether he will read it though
Edit: found a mailform from where you can send a message to the president or an employee if you are serious about it

Sure, you just gotta attend a con heās at and then sneak it into his pocket when nobody is looking.

You can, technically send a message to him, but he must receive tons of them every days. The most concrete thing you can do is sent a physical copy and hope for the best.
I donāt think he really recieves that many letters. Who knows? Maybe heās lonely and would love to read your letter. Still: if itās a digital medium, thereās the possibility that none really reads it in the end. If you can go physical then your chances skyrocket.

Theyāre advertising their C89 teaser site. It says they donāt have any detailed information yet, so we we should wait for that.
Can anyone list all Key visual novels, from longest to shortest on Auto-play ?
The problem with auto-play times for non-KineticNovels is that because of all the branches and routes, what gets counted can be kinda wobbly. And then thereās the fact that someone would have to sit there and time itā¦
So basically, no, no one is gonna have that kind of info. Thats why, when getting exact, people typically refer to the length of VN by number of lines or sometimes script file size.
As far as I know, I think the top three in terms of line count are Little Busters! Ecstasy, CLANNAD, and Rewrite, but Im not sure of the rest. If you really want to know for some reason, you might be able to contact their respective TL groups (although not for Kanon).
I remember on Keyās blog they announced that LB Ecstasy had overtaken Clannad as the longest VN theyāve made. Iāve heard conflicting information about Rewrite though, some say itās longer than either Clannad or LBE.
I imagine Kanon and Tomoyo After are pretty close in length.
As far as lines go
LBEX 109862
LBME 104232
Rewrite 100965
Clannad 100432
LB! 74124
AIR 49188
Kanon 38474
This list doesnāt have them all but its a good start.

Iām not sure how lines are counted but arenāt they just all the text that displays on the screen before requiring you to click to advance? If thatās the case wouldnāt Rewrite be boosted by all the friend, monster and memory entries?
