VNDB (Visual Novel Database) creator and admin has passed away.RIP
>>735425540Chuck Norris created that site?
watch it get cucked and censored in seconds
>>735425540Damn. R.I.P.Dude was cool. His website was cool. A real one has left us.
>>735425540godspeed
>>735425540RIP
>>735425540May he find his waifu in heaven
>A website he created back in 2007The UI certainly reflects that
>>735425540vn are NOT videogames. Feel free to fight me so my chat can laugh at you faggots.
Rest in peace
https://vndb.org/v1return to the beginning
no they arent hoax hoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoaxhoax
>>735425540Vaxxed?
VNDB is a fantastic resource and the dude never sold outRIP
>>735427351https://vndb.org/v4
>>735428098I really hope we don't lose the website.It's a treasure.
>>735428462uguu~! (TL NOTE: KAWAII MEANS CUTE)
>>735426374Holy... what a fucking King, the sole reason for the happiness in my life. RIP
>>735428098>>735428512Yeah it has by far the best filtering/tagging system I've seen on any database website.
>>735425540Yeah, it's sad when they go young like that
>>735428462I will always hate Clannad's artstyle, it's so hideous
>>735428642How old was he?
>>735425540maybe now it will stop being worthless after they add actual download links
>>735425540>VN readerinb4 it was suicide lmao
damn, rest in peace. great site. I hope whoever is next in charge does well by them.
this guy personally shadowbanned me for giving muvluv alternative a low scorerest in piss
>>735427061Old style UI is better for databases / online encyclopedias.
>>735428740Worthless subhuman
>>735429013no, old style ui is better, period.
>>735427351Pretty sure it was actually Ever17, but he manually changed the id to v17 for... obvious reasons.
>>735429049Well yeah, I agree. Modern ones are soulless. But for databases old style is better in an objective way
RIP
How does this thread not get a sticky?
For me, it was Saya's theme.
>>735429332Becuse this is a video game board
>>735429332this isn't /lit/
>>735429332This board is run by zoomers they don’t play VNs
>>735429332it's not a black eceleb that streams nintendo games
>>735428740>download linksRetard. That's how the whole thing gets shut down.
>>735429426>>735429449For Yorhel's sake maybe, just for one day, VNs are vidya.
>>735429491How do you "play" with a book?
>>735429491isn't ddlc short enough for them already
>>735425540Vaxx status?
>>735428740
I can see fandom buying off the website
>>735425540good
>>735429332He's not some nintendo based eceleb
>>735429607You've never played through a CYOA book?
>>735425540Rip. Great site.
>>735430206kinetic novels btfo
F ;_;7
>>735425540Yorhel did great work, hopefully rest of team can keep site going.
>>735425540Damn, that was an amazing site. RIP to that guy, I hope the site doesn't get ruined by whoever takes it over.
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
>>735430206bro
>>735425540How? Ass cancer?
>>735430535AIDS?
>>735430535Something sudden, that's for sure.
>>735429332Not Nintendo? Not important.
>>735429332Do you really want /v/'s brand of sticky cancer for this?
>>735425540Rest in peace, king.
>>735425540What a shame.VNDB is one of the better websites on the internet.
>>735425540>certain channels to preserve the websiteThere's gonna be changes.nu anti-sex anti-otaku Leftist Twitter DBZ spics who talk about killing Kodaka for making Danganronpa will take it over. Fully expecting anything tagged as lolicon to get removed and problematic VNs to be hunted down and removed (even legends like Muramasa)The old internet is nearly gone. They want you to have nothing.
I hope someone got a dump of the website just in case.
>>735425540RIP i remember back in 2010 no VNs were translated and this was the only way to get information a real one has left us today
>>735427135Ywnbaw
>>735430724VNDB has a page dedicated to dumps of their database.
>>735430724It automatically dumps every day.https://vndb.org/d14
Rip
>>735428664I remember back in the 2000s people would constantly bitch about that and two others (Air and Kanon) in any conversation that came up about "moe" and how moe was a cancer upon all things anime/manga.
>>735425540RIP, probably the best database ever created
>>735431061clannad was indeed the face of moeshit, good times
>>735428740Any database site like that only survives because it doesn't provide links. The moment you do that it all gets C&D'd into oblivion.
>>735430716Here's your future VNDB. "Problematic" games getting delisted and hidden because leftist trannies raided their discord (no doubt there will be an official vndb one soon) and called everyone pedos and that Japan needs a third nuke.The site needs to fall into the hands of a genuine 2000s otaku to be safe and we have less and less of those all the time. It's absolutely falling to either a shounen Zoomer or an "otaku regret" 40 year old who used to revel in lolicon games in the 2000s but was browbeaten by Resetera and Twitter during Gamergate into thinking otaku media is for chuds and must be dealt with.
>>735425540Holy shit man...F
>>735425540RIP king.
>>735430716>>735431241Settle down, Anon.
2007 was only 14 years ago, how did that nigga die
>>735431061>KanonOh god that was the one with the girl who said "UGUU" at the end of every sentence.
>>735425540NOOOOOOI hope it's kept online
RIPI just got the "max connections (10) reached" error with rsync. That means other people are currently backing everything up as well.
>>735431061>>735431495am i kawaii uguu
>>735431381anon I...
>>735431495
never downloaded anything on there but looked up stuff quite a few times
>>735425540Never take the magic juice. RIP.
>>735431951>never downloaded anything on there
>>735431951there wasn't anything to download
>>735431951anon. It's a database site, all it did was gather information about VNs and VN adjacent things...
>>735431951>never downloaded anything on thereno one did
>>735431061peak artstyle
>>735428740VNs are easier than ever to find these days anon, if you need links that's your problem
Just wondering, if you pass away, how would the internet know?
>>735432120
>>735431359I've watched everything just get more and more pozzed and worse for the past 6 post-covid years with absolutely no good changes. I have no reason to think that vndb is going to be completely trampled on by the end of the year. There's going to be tons vying to grab the site and transform it in their own image.
>>735425540Rest in peace King.
>>735431885I really wonder how Horie Yui felt acting in this show.
>>735432142what's wrong anon? can't recognize kino when it's right in front of your eyes?
>>735425540RIP to a kindred spiritLeft this world before complete enshitification took over.
If it means they'll allow you to include MTLs when searching for a translated VN then I'm glad he passed away
Oh fuck. RIP.Dude built and kept the site's framework all by himself. He never fell for the shitty "web 2.0" nonsenseThey're gonna fucking pozz the website now. Modern anime fans aren't the same type of oldfag like the founder was. I just hope there's a mirror or something before it happens
>>735425540I hope the site can continue, it was great for finding more obscure stuff. I looked up a decent amount of PC-98 games on there.
Those were the days my friendWe thought they'd never end
>>735426374>bskyand nothing of value was lost. now go back
>>735425540RIP to a real one
>>735431241nah, just let it archive and take the site down.Id rather keep it pure than let these filth secondaries stain it
>>735432236cute cyclops
not video games. but of course the only time /v/ pretends to respect a deceased person is when they ran a database of softcore smut
>>735432384ugggu
>>735432268I would've agreed with you in the past but now there's no reason for that. Every game is "MTL'd" now because MTL is instant and free, so there's no reason to list it.However, if it's something like Amayui where it's obviously a human translation and the guy was too honest to just not admit he was aided by MTL, that should just be listed, as it is now
>>735432120uguuuuu
Post your favourite VNhttps://vndb.org/v572
>>735426374>ever17 was the reason for vndb to existbased.
>>735432120honestly the sprites are kind of silly sometimes but the cg always looks great i think its a matter of the angle and perspective, id take it over live 2d slop and whatever else is done now
for me it's : netorare, protagonist's mother as heroine, scat, heroine having sex with others, group sew of one female and several males
>>735432537Truvnuke
>>735432562who?
>>735432537dellulubattered wife syndrome even
>>735425540RIPI've used that site a lot in recent years. Hope they can keep it up
>>735432278His UI is one of the best, very effective and stylish.
Which JS framework should the site be rewritten in?
>>735432537I get what you're saying, it's weird because the image is objectively stupid looking but the feeling it conveys is cool. Maybe this is the appeal of abstract art.
>>735432562Name 5 VNs.
>>735432537Hinoue was objectively pretty bad, until ~rewrite, but I never really cared because key VNs are full of soul of the higher order
>>735432141someone will know anon. someone always knows.
>>735432712How about you kill yourself, you disgusting jeet.
>>735425540RIPhope they dont butcher the site
>>735432738Yeah its about the feeling, its like the artist is touching me with his emotions instead of selling me a product, its like the imperfect italian homemade pizza versus the greasy machine made deep dish pizza
>>735429332Better question is, why is there a thread about this on /v/ and not /a/? VNs are certainly more /a/ than /v/ yet /a/ doesn't even have a thread about this.
>>735432712React obviously
>>735432508https://vndb.org/v2622https://vndb.org/v231https://vndb.org/v183
vndb and anidb are the only sites that are still usable
>>735425540Rest in power, King
>>735432873How??My internet friends don't know about my real lifeMy real life friends don't know about my internet lifeIf I died nobody on the internet would ever know
>>735432975There was, it just got moved to /jp/.
>>735425540How long until some tranny takes over the site and removes anything even remotely loli related?
>>735433102>Having friends
>>735432268you've been able to mtl your games with a text hooker for over a decade.
Never useded this website for down loads , always useded Torrent instead , did I missed out ?

>>735433102Contribute to you hobby's community like Yorhel did.
>>735425540vndb is one of few websites to still give me the ''old internet'' feel. RIP man.
>>735433102make an imaginary serial killer, talk about it on the internet and then before you die write a note saying the imaginary serial killer got you, and then 4 months later youve got yourself a netflix special about you
>>735425540the faggot jannies deleted the /a/ thread
>>735425540man. rest in peace, my friend. i used that site a lot of times and it is one of the last bastions of the old golden internet. hopefully whoever decides to take over will understand and respect that.
>>735431241OH HELL NAH wtf
>>735425540>>735425540>>735425540>>735425540Oh fuck, what’s going to happen to the website??
>>735433257>>50780494Surprised this one hasn't been moved yet
>>735429426>>735429449give me 1 definition of game that doesnt include vns
>>735432141That anon you talked to last week? Dead.
>>735433357
>>735432975because vns are video games retard
>>735425540Shuffle!https://vndb.org/v28Was my first VN and thanks to vndb I was able to quite easily find everything I wanted for any occasion, from moege to naki to nukige.Thanks man. RIPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWoiC5j2HAs
>>735433127The source code along with the database have open source licenses. Plus this is the kind of site where even running it over Tor would be viable.
>>735433257>daily managa chapter spam is ok>vns, another source material for anime isntI guess its to be expected from a board called anime and manga not anime manga and vnsany word from /jp/?
this put me in a weird mood. all the old things i liked about the internet are about to be gome forever. just like the time before the internet. when i was still making phonecalls to decide where to meet with my friend. then take my gba with pokemon in it, grab my bike, and rush over there while the summerbreeze encompassed my youth. it is all ending
>newfaggots already exposing themselves VNs have always been and will always be soulful /v/ culture
>>735433670>/v/ culture>posts redditance
>>735433470No, they aren't. The only reason they are allowed on /v/ is because 4chan is an anime website but there weren't enough people caring about VNs to warrant an entire board so VNs are just permitted on /a/, /v/ and /jp/ due to how ingrained they are in 4chan culture.
>>735433102>My internet friends don't know about my real lifeThey will notice when you are gone.>My real life friends don't know about my internet lifeThey will certainly know when you are gone.>If I died nobody on the internet would ever knowYour absence will be felt. Imagine you have a puzzle, no matter how insignificant you are, you are still a piece that will make someone go "this one's missing. Where did it go? It doesnt feel the same".
>>735433701Exhibit #1
>>735433704the only reason they are allowed on /v/ is because it's blue /b/ and the least moderated board
>>735425540F
>>735433704how are they not video games? are you retarded?
>>735433704People constantly posted about light novels and Visual novels on /a/. The dogshit moderation is ridiculous.
might block /v/ if I check in two hours and there's STILL NO FUCKING STICKY
>>735433619I've been getting the same feeling lately, the world we grew up in has been dying for a while but with all the old guard sites dying, it truly feels dead and everything is changing for the worse. Everyone is angrier, everything is more polarized, and the internet actually is treated as serious business now. Everything is one constant dopamine drip so people can make money off you all day long.
The ultimate chad rip
>>735433758Go back to your discord lil xis.
>>735425540RIP>>735432975Faggot mods deported the /a/ thread to /jp/.
>>735430716>There's gonna be changes.He was already pushing faggotry politics, i have no idea how anyone here thinks he was "based"
>>735425540>>735433852Why does such a good guy have to die?Also the Muv Luv trilogy are still the best VNs of all time.
>>735433852FVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKKKKKKK
>>735433852it's always the good ones that go too early...
>>735425540I was never a VN guy but one time I really wanted a game with a yandere femc and a happy ending and this guy's website hooked me up to crimson gray. Can't remember the exact tags I used but there's apparently very few of them so the site made the search a million times easier than it would've been otherwiseThank you big man, rest in piece
>>735433704are you one of those ball and gun niggers?what's your favorite game?
>>735433670internet culture is dead.
>>735433704Theres gamey game VNs too, hell you can even search VNDB for them by the tag.
mod pls sticky
>>735433852someone with standards is gone and the website wont be the same if the people now in charge arent of the same mind wavelength...
>>735433972>cuckshitNah
>>735434140this one looks interesting, whats the name?
>>735433182>text hookerb-but I don't want to get aids...
>>735434140The way that some VNs with gameplay are allowed but others aren't is probably the worst part of the site for me, there's a weird sort of double standard that doesn't really follow any consistent rules.
>>735434140That's not a VN. That's a video game that tells its story as a VN. You would never call Blazblue a VN.
>>735432508the holy trinity, sad we didn't get a 4th
>>735425540That is actually sad...
>>735434224Amayaui
>>735434140That looks 1:1 to Kamidori, has to be the same studio.What game is it and how does it compare?
>>735434273It is a VN. Just because you don't want to classify it as one doesn't mean it isn't
>>735432975Retards like you deserve a bullet to the head.
>>735430569Nobody's got AIDS! I don't want to hear that word here again.
>>735425540Oh wow, sad to hear thatRIP
>>735434273all VNs are video games, kill yourself already retarded newfag. you don't even play games
Is there something like VNDB for RPG Maker games?
>>735428664>I will always hate Clannad's artstyle, it's so hideous
RIP, i'm not a huge VNfag but his site has been very useful at times over the years
>>735434062peace*Wtf is wrong with me today
>>735434336>>735434403Concession accepted. Keep seething retards.
>>735425540Do we know how he died?
>>735434273True, I think Utawarerumono can be considered a VN because more time is spent on story than gameplay (I got to the part where they trap the tiger not sure about the rest of the game).The gameplay isn't why I'm playing it for sure, I dislike grid-based RPGs.
>>735432508https://vndb.org/v1299yes I'm a mainstreamfagI started playing it the week it came out on Wii back in 2008 (it took me weeks to 100%)
So, now that the site is going to become absolute shit and turbomonetized or plain die, since the dead guy paid 8xx bucks a month to keep it alive and ads free, which VNs are a must have?
>>735434548He contracted Ligma.
Prove you’re not LARPing.Post your physical Japanese VN copies.
>>735434516where do you draw the line?is ace attorney not a video game? danganronpa? snatcher? portopia serial murder case?retard

Only ever used the website as a tag search way of looking up degenerate nukige but it always came through when I needed it. Rip in peace man.
the one thing that differentiates video games and well games, from other art forms is the interactivity and the concept of the CHOICEVNs are the quintessential GAME

>>735428740>baby needs spoonfeeding
>>735434624It's not rocket science.Does it have gameplay with a VN style storytelling? It's a video game. If it doesn't have gameplay and it's purely just a means to tell a story then it's a VN, like FSN.I really, really don't understand why you retards struggle with this concept so hard.>>735434796He says, 4 minutes after he makes his retarded post.

>>735435209>>735435252BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OBSESSED WITH POLITICS IN MY VISUAL NOVEL DATABASE WEBSITE
>>735435209Then the rule should be "Don't make divisive statements that can lead to flamewars."You can't spin that faggot rule into something based.
>>735432508I have no favorites in particular, I have only one criteria when choosing VNs>Heroine is voiced by either of those : Shiina Amane, Nagase Yuzuha or Suzuki Ryouif they are part of the cast AND they take their deep husky voice when voicing the heroine then the game becomes an instant 10/10 for me.I can get off to Ooyama Chiroru a little but same thing, only if she takes her deep voice like she did in Kasshoku Bakunyuu 1 & 2
>>735434829nta but there should be a tuto or two about text hookers in the djt on /jp/ or /int/
>>735435273Yes, it is a VIDEO GAME that delivers its story through a VN.That is the point I've been making. Thank you for agreeing with me.FSN on the other hand, as it has no gameplay and solely exists as a storytelling platform, is a VN.

>>735435462Accurate
>>735432508https://vndb.org/v5652My first VN, I replay it every so often
>>735435337that covers most controversial topics, especially on a site with gender bender games,yaoi games, yuri games, etc. i dunno how society has changed so much in the past 20 years but back in the day people would bond over having 1 thing in common but now if people have 1 different opinion yet share everything else in common, they're at each others throats over the dumbest bullshit. the purity testing online has gotten so retarded.
>>735435563He is in hell now, should've kept politics out of mt VNs
>>735435509No, it isn't? The only part of that that applies here is the "no racism outside of /b/" rule, which is only enforced if the mod xerself is offended at the time.
>>735434607>>735434964How does AO3 receive enough donations every year to not only keep itself up/maintain/update code and infrastructure but also act as a legitimate pressure group against attempts at censorship in legislationWhile the biggest western VN site gets pennies from its users

>>735435730>Speaking against tranny indoctrination is racism
>>735435662>i dunno how society has changed so much in the past 20 yearsIt might have to do with the fact that a certain group of people have gone on a crusade to take everything away from people they don't like, leading to an extremely volatile environment and an enormous cultural chasm.
>>735435050yuck what a conformist cuck
>>735435715Because AO3 was founded by female senpai fiction bitches. The site was founded specifically to fight against authors who got butthurt over fanfiction and would try to sue or dmca others. The site existed as a buffer against that.Meanwhile for vns. A large part of the old western vn scene was founded by piracy. Nobody paid because they didn't have to. So most people just sorta accepted that
>>735433113that's incredible stupid.
>>735435821>VNtards are retardedIn other shocking news, water is still wet.
>>735434273Is Neptunia a VN?
>>735435704>>735435905You sound upset your trash is not welcome here, go back.
>>735435869Probably one of the most underrated VNs in existence. I loved everything about it, from the plot and setting, to the MC, the side characters, the villain. If it was released today with better art it'd be a cult classic. Maybe. Shame it's impossible to adapt into an anime because of the plot twist.
>>735434989I was so happy when I found out he killed himself fuck that nigger
>>735435905We literally have an LGBT board and trying to go TOTAL TRANNY DEATH in it is against the rules. It's literally why /qa/ got banished to the shadow realm.
>>735435993Do a flip faggot
>>735435989According to VNDB no, but Ar Tonelico is. And Persona 4 Arena is also a VN (but not Persona 4 that one isn't a VN)
>>735436018this but unironically
>>735435869I forgot lots of thing about Sharin no Kuni, does it ever explain how outsider are supposed to differentiate between the punished people and normal people? Like how do they know they're not supposed to speak with this person?
>>735426374>Why hadn't he heard about it before?Wow. He asked the truly important questions. I can't remember the countless times I found a good game and wondered why the fuck /v/ never told me about it and got pissed off at this shithole. He truly cared.Men of his breed a rare kind. RIP ;_;
>>735435810I had heard that their company hated gaijins and their other games coming out in English was never ever. Is it a fantl?
>>735436049Go suck politician dicks some more cucked brown subhuman.
>>735425540Imagine dying before the best VN of the year comes out, that's really sad

>>735435907those are some of the biggest proponents of purity testing, yes. it's just so weird because no one gave a fuck about ranma 1/2 or x-change decades ago, it was just weird and quirky but now if anything similar releases it's some existential threat.i mean if we're being real here, the actual answer to why things have devolved this much and everyone is at each others threats over the most pointless bullshit possible is occupy wall street but that's a topic for a different thread and a different board.
>>735436002>Shame it's impossible to adapt into an anime because of the plot twist.It's the mark of the greatest VNs, like Ever17. If your VN is adaptable to anime, it doesn't exploit the medium
>>735434273You're right
>>735433938proof?
>>735426374This is so sad. He was a guy who identified a problem and instead of complaining about it, took action and created a real solution.R.I.P. KingMay by the grace of God your website stay pure even after you're gone.
>>735435821Disco Elysium is not there either and that game is honestly a VN, anyone who played and talked thaat game here can't say VNs are not video games.
>>735436374I'm older than your father, kiddo, nothin' personnel
>>735425540not like this
Looking forward to all of these tags and their associated titles getting removed, and the new owner going on a 100 tweet rant about how anyone who "glorifies" and "enables" these "degenerate problematic games" needs to "seek professional help"
unironic noob question how do you find VNs based on tags while avoiding spoilers?stupid obvious example off the top of my head, say you're looking at School Days with no idea what it is (in 2026? Unlike I know but bear with me) and thinking it's some light hearted romance high school VN. But there's tags of gore, murder, NTR, etc etc. Doesn't that just straight up spoil the ending then? How do you avoid that?

>>735436410Occupy Wall Street resulted in the ruling elite kicking off the race war to distract from the class war.It has nothing to do with leftist cultural marxists infiltrating every entertainment medium with kike bux.
>>735436749shut the fuck up retarddo you want vimms to suffer the same fate as myrient ?
>>735429338I love Saya, but her theme is so ugly I feel like Fuminori when I use it.

>>735436505What real problem? That normalfags don't care about obscure nipponese book "games"?
Never Forget who irrefutably are the best girls are.
>>735436725If you search a tag that's marked as a spoiler tag for a VN, that VN is not going to show up on thel ist by default. you have to manually enable it.
It's over. The last western oldfag otaku is dead.Zoomers will take over and ruin everything
>>735436927VNs > books
>>735436002It really isn't hard. You simply don't show her directly and frame shots in unusual ways to show only parts of her from time to time while characters are talking.
>>735436797the culture war is another division point just like the race war. both exist to distract from the class war. it's not a coincidence that rainbow capitalism kicked into overdrive around the same time. everything is fake and gay, which is why you should just embrace what you like and find others that like it to discuss with it. let the retards fight their dumb little culture/race wars to keep themselves distracted.
>>735437115i don't even think it's zoomers, more like indians and mudslims.
>>735437042WHITE HAIR WON?

>>735437042sluts rock
>>735425540Welp, time to look up a list of tags I like now to save the list for later then.
>>735435445The fact that you've danced around what you originally said, twisted what the steam page said to somehow be about the divide between VN and game, and decided the best way to prove your point is to put words into my mouth proves to me you have no worthwhile argument.Truth is, you have solid argument anymore. This is now entirely about enforcing the line in the ground you drew.

>>735437982>>735434756So according to you VNs with no choice like planetarian and 07th expansion stuff aren't games, so they aren't VNs?

He was 38.Just imagine a 19 year old today launching a community like this. It'd die in 3 months from all the purity testing and social grandstanding seeking.Really hope it falls under a proper new owner.
>>735437924I took 40 minutes because not only am I not glued to my desktop 24/7, but I also took the time to think about what you had to say and it's implication. I know you wouldn't understand since you don't do a lot of thinking, but I like to form proper opinions and give ideas I initially dismissed proper consideration.Unfortunately, i wasted my time since your argument was incredbly vague and nebulous and entirely about how you felt not objective fact.
>>735438854Damn that's so young. He's right about the global impact at least for me. Never even heard of VNs until I stumbled on Crescendo on Gamefaqs then fell into a rabbit hole when I discovered VNDB. Good times.It was crazy seeing VNs suddenly getting officialy released on Steam.
>>735425540QUICK, DOWNLOAD THE DATABASE YOU FOOLS
>>735438045this is the kind of game I'm looking for, many games I've dropped but these gems make the searching worth it
>>735436959Do you ever wonder why these people post here? I know I do.
>>735425540A true hero of the internet has left us. Rest in peace. Should I panic and try to archive the site in some manner? Is there a mirror for it out there somewhere? I remember when doujinishi.org just disappeared without a trace over night some years ago and to this day, no replacement of equal value exists for what we once had.
>>735438854Damn, did they say what he died of? I'm getting paranoid about my own health since I'm similar aged.
>>735438269TN wasnt even that good.
>>735425540legend. wish they could have lived forever
>>735439207I think the website auto-dumps its database everyday so worst case scenario, someone can download it and back it up.
>>735439042A torrent that holds the list could maybe work, of course it take a bajillion hours to download but at least the file size would be in a sense compressed unless you torrent it
>>735437042Wasn't there an updated version with graphs and shit posted a while ago?
>>735425540So how long until the new admin starts removing "problematic" content from the website?
>>735438854Damn...
>>735425540>>735438854RIP, found so many good VNs thanks to this guy. Post some (part) Dutch bitches in his honor.
FIt's one of the few websites that still look like an actual website and not some corporate serving environment for ads. Thank you Yorhel and all the people working on it even if sometimes there was some weird censorship decisions
>>735438854>He was 38.So many 30 something year olds dying recently.
VNDB unironically shaped my life by being my gateway into VNs which then was my gateway into touhou 4chan japan and all that retarded shit in general. I was a teenager when I was using it, like 16 or 17. I'm 34 now and still use it all the time. without that website I think I would have been living a completely different life which is something I never thought about until now. I've never been so sad about someone I didn't personally know passing away. rest in pieces
>>735439610we all know what the jab was for
>>735438854https://yorhel.nl/> You will not find me on closed networks such as Discord, Facebook, Github, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. There's literally no chance they find a new owner who's as disconnected from social media bullshit as this.
>>735439097Just lonely and baiting for attention.
>>735436374Faggot
>>735427061Indeed, and that's why the site loads quickly, doesn't eat up RAM and is overall pleasant to use. No 'responsive' bullshit also BTFOs phoneposters, it's great.

>>735438045https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxaOceOHkJoAyakashibito is like a decent 7/10 but the ending theme goes insanely hard in a way I wasn't expecting that boosts my own opinion of it higher than it should.

>>735425540this site gave me some unforgettable fap material. F
>>735438517hot
>>735426374RIP and based, I read Ever17 because of /v/, but I never would've read Remember11 without his site (which has become my all time favorite vn).
Doki Doki Literature Club fans win again
>>735427351how do catgirl tails even work?
>>735439943I think I remember reading Remember 11 or one of the other games in that series and not liking it as much as the absolute gigakino that was E17. It's been a long ass time though so I really should do a reread. Maybe I'll change my mind.
>>735425540man, everyone is getting old...
>>735425816Lmao, what a way to find out. Rest in piss.
>>735438854I can't believe Yorhel was younger than me. And yet in all my time of Earth, I haven't done anything worthwhile. Truly only the good die young...
>>735438312They are commonly referred to as Kinetic Novels in order to differentiate them from regular VNs. They are closer to movies than games, but out of convenience and similarity they are called games
>>735425540RIP thanks for everything, found so many good games.
any good plot games like FSN? I'll read a VN in his honor
>>735425540Rip retard idiot pedo

>>735439619can you speak moon at leastit's been 18 years
>>735440792You have a name and a hair color and even an uncommon skin color, figure it out yourself.
>>735440435people always say that dies irae and muramasa are the ones that tried to chase that nichethey never say which one is better though
>>735429332Yeah it's weird I feel like there really should be a sticky
>>735440916Fate isn't really chuuni desu
>>735439619We've all been through similar paths. Yume Miru Kusuri is known for being babby's first VN, and it was the first (windows executable) title I played. IIRC I came across it on some forum. Once I was done with that one, I ended up at vndb, and shortly after that the Act1 KS release was released.Technically my real first VN was Love Hina Advance with a rompatch, though.
>>735435209That's not what the rule says, though.In fact, the rule pretty much says you can make whatever gay pro lgtbq garbage you want, advertise it via their site, and if you speak out against it, then you are the rule breaker. You call it "not stirring the pot," but the funny thing is that the pot is allowed to be stirred, it's just you can only stir it in one direction.
>>735436749They've taken down multiple game downloads over time as companies find out about them. If things continue, it's only a matter of time until they're forced to either go read-only, or die.Besides, their dl speed is atrocious, have some standards
>>735440037I do think the emotional highs are much more memorable in Ever17, but piecing shit together from the bad endings was so much fun and the incomplete story/cliff hanger ending is something that I'm constantly thinking about in the shower. If you ever do a reread someone made a blog site in recent years to explain a lot of small details.
>>735428740this. idk why this website is so popular, it only has worthless info
>>735440916>>735440951
>>735426374Holy fuck what a king
>>735437274Most people who actually know their history are aware that niggers have been rioting and burning down neighborhoods for as long as they have been in the country, and have only ever behaved under threat of lethal force.
>>735437159I don't believe in a class war despite how many Marxists keep pushing for it as a fundamental truth to provoke people into destructive action.
it cant be overstated how amazing vndb is. its genuinely the most extensive database for any medium ever. you go into the tags section and you find more sub tags and even those sub tags have thier own sub tags. i found out there are tags for hyper specific shit like picrelcompare it to myanimelist, they slap "shounen, comedy" on a show and call it a day
>>735435209>you share a nerdy hobby, focus on that hobby instead of culture warring.they don't share it
>>735441072It's the very definition of chuuni, all the attack names are written with meaning in kanji and the actual name of the attack with katakana in furigana, you can't get anymore chuuni than that
>>735439207The site's code is open source, complete database dumps are made available daily and all the images are available via rsyncYou could easily mirror it.
>>735431241>using that tranny site Use HLTB for backlog shit, you can see the difference: https://howlongtobeat.com/game/89623
>>735435209This kind of "don't worry about it, just focus what you like" was a position that got completely shattered during the 2010s because it's zero-sum game of who gets to push their ideology into every hobby and those who ignored it, soon found their thing conforming to a new dogma.
>>735441545Hell, fucking GameFAQs is still around and has backlog and user review shit built in.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/540260-black-soulsIt's absolutely fucking hilarious that Backloggd thought they saved the world by delisting a few eroge that drove like 3 looney troons insane.
>>735434257You can't get aids from sexting
>>735441545I'm surprised this site isn't mentioned more. I've used it a lot.
>>735440435I'll always like Ayakashi, there's some cool character dynamics both for protagonists and the antagonists, there's a route for the loli and you can fuck her, the fandisc is funny/hot and the music is great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9BNkIuV-6Y
>>735441892>>games you may like>>>>>Magical Girl Konohaactually kinda based
>>735431241if vndb goes down I'll use virgindb instead.
>>735425540What's the point?You can just use AI to find, recommend and catalog visual novels.It's basically reddit for weebs.
>>735431241>tfw china is the last bastion of free speechwhat a weird ahh timeline
>>735437159Some of the culture war is a psyop perpetrated by malignant actors with ulterior motives, yes, but certainly not at all of it, and to believe otherwise is foolish. There exists a great number of true believers and whether or not they were astroturfed into existence is immaterial for the problem at hand:>you should just embrace what you like and find others that like it to discuss with itWhat, then, if something you like is on the shitlist of things which certain culture warriors are trying to censor, defund or just outlaw outright? You may not be interested in the culture war, but the culture war is interested in you.
Why do normies and westerners seethe so hard at this guy and his website?
>>735442348>ahhYou are on 4chan, dumbass. You can say ass.
>>735433602Are you me? It was also my first VN. The dads were the MVPs.
>>735442448Its not as funny
>>735442438Do they? I didn't think would even be aware of it, or be able to navigate it. Does the site even have a phone version?
>>735442438probably because https://vndb.org/g2023
>>735428912>umm actually picasso and beethoven are stupid and their work is shit lol i'm totally not shitposting doe

>>735435050>anti-LGBTQ sentiments instead of identity politicsNever give them an inch no matter how nice and/or talented they initially appear. That's how they trojan horse you.
>>735442527ummm this is very problematic
>>735442527It's not like he made these stories, he's just chronicling them. It'd be like getting mad at a library for having books written by Hitler, Stalin, or Kim Jung Un
>>735442664>It'd be like getting mad at a library for having books written by Hitler, Stalin, or Kim Jung Unbuy do i have news for you...
>>735442664uhm anon... check the calendar, it's 1984
>>735442406Old games aren't going anywhere and neither are indie games. The people that did nothing tanked the sales of games that weren't made for them. Sometimes, that's enough. If they make products no one is interested in then they go out of business, which is partially why the industry is spamming nonstop layoffs along with the massive influx of hiring during COVID.One of the biggest falloffs for a genre is actually visual novels, they moved to mobile instead because a bunch of prolific VN writers got roped into writing for games like FGO instead. Hikaru Sakurai's Steampunk(What a Beautiful) series was great, it was lauded in the early 2010's. But she doesn't write VNs for Liarsoft anymore because she's on permanent Fate duty.
>>735432141Around the time Berserk's author died, a writer in one of those nip webnovel sites told his readers that his family didn't know about him writing novels, and that if they don't hear of him for more than a year, they should assume he died.
>>735442625hehehe
>>735442664Trannies raided >>735431241 until they locked a bunch of eroge titles down under the pretense of "having these games on your site enables groomers to contact children on the site and have them play these games and think loli rape is normal in real life!!!"They'll be out like vultures for VNDB, especially with a fucking tag like that
>>735427061I don't even know any modern sites, it's only social media now and old shit like 4chan and this.
>>735425540is there a way to locally back up the site on my drive for personal use? surely it cant be that big?
>>735442625See, I think this is the problem, a lot of these fucks will harass you if you ban them for being off-topic, but if you don't slap people on the wrists for that shit, it quickly becomes an issue
>>735425540what did he die of and am i likely to die of iti'm a weeb, i need to knowRIP btw but also fuck this nigga or whomever was responsible for universally labelling prior entries in a series as 'prequel' even though a 'prequel' is a type of sequel that is set chronologically prior to the previous entry. he's caused irreparable harm to the english language and i hope he rests in peace
>>735442664>bro doesn't know that he can click literally any of the games with that tag and check the explicit screenshots of each

>>735442869The vndb git repo is 11M.The vndb database is a 168M zstandard compressed tar archive.The vndb images are above 100GB, and right now so many people are panic archiving that I can't actually get through to the rsync server so you'll have to wait your fucking turn like the rest of us.
>>735443006Just for you, hot off the presses.
>>735425540RIP what a god that's one of the best gaming sites ever created
>>735442529>if you have a negative opinion on my favourite game you are trolling!!!
>>735442886It mustve been sudden? He was clearly doing completely fine at the start of the month
>>735438854>38yoHe's not even a decade older than me... he's left us too soon...
>>735425540RIP king
>>735428886not happening some troon or someone with a retarded agenda will take over
>>735425540Rip to a real 1Where is the sticky?? @jannies
>>735432141I've been a drawfag for more than a decade and nobody even knows who I am. It's always been a double-edged sword and I prefer it that way.
>>735439610stop noticing goy
>>735442625Leftist people will try to turn every place into a leftist circle jerk, every single one, that's what they do, if you allow them they will turn your place into resetera.The only solution to not have politics destroying your niche group is to be explicitly right wing unfortunately, because those fags might make a joke about niggers, bu that's about it.
>>735438854>euroCHAD basedmost good games also come from either europe or japan lol
>>735443006>the twitter fagWorse, that's a Bluesky tranny.
>>735443398both of you faggots should be permabanned on sight actually dumb directionbrain zoomer
>>735443481You'll grow out of your commie phase soon sonny
>>735443031NTAIm really bad with tech, Anon please teach me. I want to archive and save it.
>>735443031is the readme the only clue to this thingamajig
if anyone is looking for it there is actually an rpgmaker version of vndb: https://nepchan.org/
>>735443398I really wished retards like you went back to plebbit and stay there
>>735442746>Old games aren't going anywhereYet.Just wait for the motivated parties to hunt down every platform hosting thoughtcrime in any capacity. AI is going to allow content moderation and takedowns at a scale and speed you wouldn't have dreamed of a few years ago.
>>735443931sadly it's way behind vndb on ui and qol stuff, but besides that it worksalso surprisingly enough it's mostly weebshit, stuff like to the moon and the coffin of bla bla have very few votes there
>>735443808Honestly just wait until they hopefully keep it up or someone else does it.But you can get the db and clone the repo just in case, they don't take much spacehttps://dl.vndb.org/dump/vndb-db-latest.tar.zsthttps://code.blicky.net/yorhel/vndb
>>735444040I guess I was right to get a bunch of storage things, but if it breaks or stops working, its gone forever, theres gotta be someone out there making some kind of almost permanent archive, problem is, how do you get it online and make sure it stays
>>735443238Yes
>>735444040I'd love to make a retort but I can see that happening so yeah, that's a possibility. We're already seeing ROM sites being fucked over.
>>735442625>being neutral is as good as being a transphobeWhat is it that makes troons such totalitarian zealots that they put saturday morning cartoon villains to shame?Is it just another outgrowth of their underlying mental illness, or is it their victimhood mongering ideology that encourages such behaviour in what would otherwise be autists who'd be harmless to other people?
>>735444407dark weband you vet people hard to let them into the walled garden
>>735425540Discovered countless obscure hentai romps here just by looking up my favorite artists and seeing projects they worked on.Thank you for your efforts, rest in peace.
>>735444061thx anon
>>735444574Me in 10 years because the game im playing isnt approved by Blackrock and Epstein Associates, and isnt lgtbqrtyuvn+_ friendly and doesnt have microtransactions or unsubtle communist propaganda
>>735444823>Cyberpunk dystopia but there's an underground black market for VNs instead of braindances
>>735444040>>735444407>>735444574>>735444823I'm glad all channers are accepting that only darkness and despair is in the future like the old days. All we love will be banned forever.
>>735425540That's sad, I use that website alot.
>>735444823Reminder that fucking MAGA shitters let this happen because they didnt want trans people to be happy.

>>735445040im two of those comments, but ive been worried about this since covid, and it keeps getting worse, it started with things like gelbooru and hanime and i keep seeing new things everyday, it is in fact not getting better
see you space cowboy
>>735445289Wait, what happened with Gelbooru?
>>735445289All we can do is give up and kill ourselves. Nothing will get better ever again...Thank you anon for accepting the black pill. No other website accepts dark subjects like we 4channers do...
>>735445289New thread here if you want to black pill with us more.>>735425448We're talking about how Japan is now dead forever thanks to Takaichi pulling a Trump and allowing indians to replace the native work force
