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

Honestly glad to see Little Busters is getting the same care CLANNAD did even if it doesn’t have the same amount of popularity and reputation as it. I’d been a bit worried the release would’ve been somewhat taken care of quickly just so that it’d be out of the way seeing how the majority of its fanbase didn’t discover KEY with it, but the fact that Visual Arts actually acknowledges it’s a fan favourite rivalling CLANNAD is excellent news.

And hey.

HD Kyousuke.

I think I heard that is going to be possible change the language to japanese whitout need of reinstall the whole game.

Edit: Ok, after reading more carefully now I feel a bit like a idiot :yahaha: :wtf:

Yep.

Yes, hence the “switching” part. It’ll probably just be a toggle button or something. :umu:

Edit: Greninja’d.

I can’t wait to play it! It’s great that Key has embraced their Western audience and is going all out with their steam releases. I like the idea of being able to switch between English and Japanese. I’m learning Japanese and it helps a lot when you can switch back and forth between languages.

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 ͡° )
