EDIT (8/27/2015): I have had a conversation with Jason Yue today and, in keeping with my word, his name has been removed from the main article. You can read more about everything that happened concerning that here. If you wasn’t attached to either Kickstarter or Twitter this weekend, you missed a backer revolt. I missed it as well […]
Before we begin, I want to thank everyone who was patient with the lack of reviews in July. I decided to quietly step away for a bit to rest my brain and prevent my reviews this year from dropping in quality. But rest cannot go on forever so ooooooohhhhhh yeeesssssss, I have returned to deal […]
One of the more controversial developers I’ve run across is AJ Tilley. Up until last year I had given his work a cursory look and little else. However, Tilley’s repeated use of Kickstarter to fund every idea he could think of drew enough ire from fans and other developers I had to try and get […]
Well folks, I never thought we’d be here; but here we are. When Dischan Media first appeared in 2011 many, including myself, had high hopes for the group. Despite being unproven, the group had several things going in its favor including a unique, atmospheric look and a fearlessness in telling stories that were not being […]
Longtime readers of this site will remember in the early years when I posted more comedic reviews and unfortunately for current readers the reason that stopped was due to the fact that very few people cared that I had a sense of humor because apparently the only thing worse than joking about their games sucking […]
Walkerman. To be honest, when I first heard the title I thought it could be Les Stroud’s next great television series. Then I realized it had to do with the supernatural and figured that somehow Les Stroud had found a way to fight werewolves in remote areas of the world. Then I read the Kickstarter […]
I first found out about Sierra Ops nearly two years ago shortly after playing Touhou Mecha again and Rising Angels Reborn for the first time. I am a noted fan of the ‘space opera’ subgenre and seeing more EVNs enter this world has been one of the small pleasures of operating VNs Now. Since then […]
I’m terrible at marking these things as most of you long-time readers know. ‘Important dates’ come and go, but I always try to take a moment for when this little idea first came about. On this day four years ago, I was sitting in a much less auspicious pre-VNs Now HQ not very impressed with […]
Before we begin today’s session on the rack, I want to address something that has been bothering me for a while, but hasn’t really reared its head until recently and that is the ‘communal positivity’. This isn’t anything set in stone, but over the past few years of watching the EVN community I’ve noticed that […]
So, this review didn’t come start of my own volition. The beginnings of this one had an outside influence: Patricia Hernandez. Who is Patricia Hernandez? To be honest, while I am aware of her and what some say about her, I don’t know her work or personality. I don’t follow her on social media and […]
