Little Busters English Edition Features Detailed! Could this be the definitive release?

Can’t wait to play it, the wait is almost over.

Although the changes VisualArt’s and Prototype made suggests that the Little Busters! English Edition won’t be running on Reallive, a part of me wants it to be ran on it, for personal reasons :stuck_out_tongue:

If they really did change up the engine I take it it would probably be in Siglus? At first I was worried there may be bugs from rebuilding it from the ground up, but if they’ve put thus much care into the other parts of the release they’d probably make sure it is coded properly.

Welp, I’m anxious to see what it’s running on. I’m not used to Key games feeling modern.

That’s quite amazing they’re having it as 1280x720 resolution. I’m very happy that VisualArt’s and Prototype took their time to make it even more exciting for all of us to experience Little Busters once again. I’m definitely looking forward to it! The features sound quite remarkable switching between Japanese and English to get even more experience with the VN. Good news all around! This has been one remarkable year for Key! Let’s hope everyone that enjoys reading it again and those that read it for the first time will have a great time with this edition! :happy:

I’m probably a bit biased considering I’ve been playing all my VNs on a windows tablet recently, but I absolutely love that they’re optimizing it for tablets! You’d think VNs would natively work perfectly on tablets but there are some issues; the biggest one being there is no sane way to view your text backlog as that is usually done with a mouse wheel or keyboard commands, both of which are not easily accessible when on tablet mode. So some gestures like sliding to view previous text would be appreciated!

Here’s to looking forward to rubbing my screen in front of HD Kyousuke :kyog:

I am so excited about this! Can’t wait for the Book club <3 and now it’ll be in HD too! Yaay!

Yesss I am also very excited for this - I’m gonna be playing it on a tablet too, mostly on the train to work! LB was actually one of the things that pushed me towards buying a tablet!

Ahhh I’ll be able to experience LB! in HD and all that cool! Really, I’m excited! I’d crack some LB! joke, but I’m new to that work, so I don’t have one.

Saya’s minigame should actually be a lot easier on tablet, but how in the world would you play baseball? On PC that game uses 6 buttons: Arrow keys, CTRL, and Left click.

Hopefully they’ll solve that! Maybe a button in settings for touch mode, and then it might just use virtual keys.

This is pretty exciting. It’s been a blur from how we got from Planetarian’s release to this point, and especially at a better resolution.

So I guess we wait and see what else is planned here. I think there is at least something else they have in store for this release.

Will it include esctasy thouh? I’m totally asking this because of the routes and not the H-Scenes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Perfect Edition has the routes but not the H-Scenes I believe. I’m pretty they said we are getting the 3 extra routes but since it’s a Steam release there won’t be H-Scenes.

In the end there are plans for a patch that add the H-scenes? I’m curious about it :yahaha:

I am really super excited to hear about this!
I was worried that Little Busters’s English wouldn’t be getting the same amount of TLC as Clannad did, but here it looks like they are going above and beyond!
Probably unrelated to this particular new, but is there any word of a physical release? I’d love to not only have the definitive version of my favorite visual novel of all time, but to also to be able to hold it in my hands… it would make me so happy!
As for H scenes (I know removed for Perfect Edition) wouldn’t the likelihood of them being available in a patch be low, considering that the official English release of Tomoyo After had no such patch (that I’m aware of)?

I don’t think they’ll ever do an official one, it’d have to be fanmade, sooo maybe… one day… someone will be that masochistic.

I bet Helios has trained enough to withstand reading through those (again?) and make a patch :stuck_out_tongue:

May not be that simple if it’s not RealLive.
