One thing that I’ve always loved about the EVN Community is how partnerships are formed. Even bad games takes months, if not years, to go from concept to final product and the different members of a team aren’t necessarily sitting in the same room every day. So the connections that form the foundation run a […]
Welcome everyone to April! While it may not feel like Spring depending on your location in the world (looking at you Canada), here at the HQ we want to enjoy this little middle ground between the Center-Of-The-Earth Heat we’ll be getting in a few months and the Frozen Tundra that was Winter. So this month, […]
I have to apologize to you guys because I had anticipated flooding you all with updates. However, that has been delayed due to unfortunate circumstances behind the scenes here at VNs Now HQ. To that end, I felt it best to bring everyone up to speed on the situation before we move into NaNoRenO because […]
What’s about to happen in this update, I think, is unprecedented in this medium. Many English Visual Novels do not make it out of the beta stage, but when they disappear from the public eye they are forgotten. But after studying the case of Mitsumata, I believe it deserves a bit more time on the […]
…I believe this will only work if I’m upfront here… I’m not even going to pretend to have the most enlightened view on the subject of sexuality. I’m pretty sure someone who neither cares nor is curious about exploring their own lack of romantic and/or sexual urges isn’t in a good position to judge. And […]
When I think about my childhood, it’s hard to visualize it without the above 8-bit. In fact, I’m not sure I know anyone who don’t know the most iconic Italian not named Corleone or Balboa. And without Mario M. Mario, I would argue that gaming would not have reached the zenith it now sits at. […]
For our June Interview, I had the opportunity to sit down with Dischan’s Jeremy Miller. We talked before when Dischan was just beginning to get legs and a lot has happened since then. Here we talk about 2012’s Best Drama EVN Juniper’s Knot, their recently released first episode of Dysfunctional Systems and a bit about the future. Enjoy! VNs Now: It […]
Annnd we’re back! As much as I’ve always loved this particular feature, truth is I just got run down in the later half of the year and wanted to try something new. However, by popular demand, the Monthly Interview is back! So, who would be first to help me ring in the glorious return? Well, […]
One of the more interesting debate topics inside the video game community at larger in the last year was Telltale Game’s The Walking Dead. This episodic adventure came just about out of nowhere, spinning its tale over the course of the year in five downloadable episodes. It literally came out of nowhere to win Spike’s […]
And now for the epic conclusion to the August Interview! Read Part 1 Here! VNs Now: From what I understand Rob, some of the music for Cinders was done with live instruments. What went into that decision? ROB: If you can and need, do. The budget was low and the time restraints were high. Thankfully my girlfriend, Rhian […]
