"...yeah, I'd have to agree with Marie on that," you say. "The white one is better."
"Aww..." Luciana pouts. "And here I thought that we'd get a chance to show off her curves... not that she really has much in that area," she says teasingly.
"Wait, that's supposed to be for..."
"Oh well, maybe some other time," she says as she goes to put the dress back.

"Since I warned her about harassing you too badly, it looks like she's turned her sights back on me," Marianne sighs.
"Uh, sorry about that," you reply, feeling a bit guilty.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it. It just gets exhausting after a while, that's all."

With that, Marianne goes over to where Luciana is... it seems like they're wrapping this part of your city excursion up.

>"Yes, it is farfetched," Takamaru sighs. "But I've seen them with my own eyes, the rage-filled eyes of a kitsune whose husband had been slain by an assassin's blade... her rage took the form of flame itself and it was all I could do to avoid being caught in the inferno she created."

Guys, I think Takamaru may be the assassin he was talking about.

But he's already built an initial fan-base with this quest.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I honestly it rather have great music and have at least the MC fully voiced while the girls get partially.moans are obviously included.

>>28385382
I'd imagine Archalon would trim down and edit a lot of the dialogue in an actual VA.

>>28385431
>Wakamoto
He is a god among men.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw-ODfA8J5Q

>>28385441
Actually the opposite he would need to expand it.
VN can take anywhere from 8 hours to 60.

>>28385441
He'd probably do the same for scenes. It's not as big of a problem in a quest thread, but there are waaaaay too many choices and pacing issues for a proper VN.

>>28384879
It's arguably better, actually. My sleep schedule is fucked up due to work, so I normally sleep from 3PM till 11PM.

So now I get to read PGQ while eating breakfast.

>>28385441

Not really.

Consider that we will only do one route in this game.

And in the VN he'll have to do one for all the girls.

If anything the dialogue will expand and explode.

>>28385344
Oh no, I agree, most are terrible. I like to think that I'm better than them, but that might just be ego talking.

Yeah. A quest is definitely a first draft. I've ran one and the main thought going through my head was always "if this was supposed to be a novel, I'd just use this to make a detailed plot outline and completely rewrite it."

"It must take a lot to handle that kind of teasing everyday," you say to Takamaru. "I'm not all that sure that I'd be able to take it."
"Yes, well..." Takamaru laughs. "she actually considers me to be too boring to play tricks on."
"Huh."
"She's talked to me many a time about how much she enjoys getting a reaction out of Princess Marianne, however. And considering her feelings for you, I suspect that she enjoys teasing you almost as much."
"I'm not sure how happy I should be about that..." you shrug, "but it is nice to see them acting so naturally."
"I agree, I rarely see Princess Luciana this lively."

As you watch the princesses show each other several different outfits and joke around about various things, you remember something...

"Oh yeah..." you say, turning back to Takamaru, "...would you be willing to spar later?"
"I will be busy later today," Takamaru says apologetially. "I may be able to spar with you tomorrow night, though I'm not sure just yet."

>[1/?]

>>28385803
Fuck yeah who is ready for a string of nat 1s?
So this should happen around Saturday or Sunday then.

>>28385749
I can imagine Luciana's father acting like that.

>>28385803
>[2/2]

After some more waiting, the girls finally finish their shopping and you all head up to the front counter so that they can pay for their clothes.

"Just have it all brought to the castle later," Luciana says as she hands the attendant some money.
"Very well, Princess," the attendant replies as politely as she can.

With that out of the way, you head out of the store and onwards to your next stop.

You're really hoping that it's to get some lunch.

"...you go by your real identity while out in the city like this?" you ask Luciana.
"Yes, of course!" Luciana replies happily. "I suppose my father is less paranoid in that way than King Thierri is in that way."
"I don't hide my identity because I'm forced to," Marianne replies. "I go into town to get away from my usual routine, and using my actual name an station would un counter to that."
"Makes sense, I suppose," Luciana replies.

>talk about a thing as you walk?

Hmm.... Should we maybe mention good sir Mathias? Or have we done so already and this anon forgot?

Pretty sure there's a sizable number of people that don't like it, considering one of its nicknames is "Code Trainwreck"..

It is also because of the time slot change that they added rolo.

Does Sylvie have abs or noticeable muscles?

>>28386794
Bah, it was no Clannad AS, that hit me right in the hopes and dreams.

>>28386794
its been years since i saw it, but i remember being sad and confused as fuck at the ending.
>>28386795
well she didn't learn magic until she could stand up to her dads standard of muscle so i say she is relatively built.

>>28386791
Well i still never play,watched the shows.
I couldn't really get past the art of Key, for that one

>>28386825
God damnit I just finished repressing my memories of Clannad.

"Yeah..." you begin, "I don't really mind your classes all that much, but I can see how it'd get to you after a while."
"Yes... I would be perfectly happy wandering around town like this every day," Marianne sighs.
"You do go to the same area of town every time, though..."
"What, you're not happy with where I decide to spend my free time?" she glares at you. "Or pehaps you'd accompany me to a seedier part of town where you'd be able to get into a fight and show off some?"
"I didn't mean it like-"
"Whatever, let's just go."

Great, now she's mad...

Luciana flashes you an embarassed smile before turning back around as she leads the way to wherever it is that you're headed to now.

>>28385091
A lot if things need to be factored in
First pay for writers / artists / coders etc
Physical copies / postage / extras
Copyrights / programs / resources
Computers / rates / sometimes office rent
VA pay
Electricity / internet / publicity
QA / bug fixing / administrative costs that don't fall under the other headings

So you can see where a large game quickly runs up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs even for a small indie team just trying to get their game out on time bug free

>>28386795
I did not consider this.
Sylvie party looking more and more attractive. But she's still kinda boring as a person.

>>28386928
I guess Marie still doubts Reinhold's intentions. Or maybe she thinks we're still pressing her from that adventuring talk.

Wish we went with:
>>28386264
>>28386289
That would have cheered her up. Maybe apologize and tell her we don't mind where she likes to go.

>>28387027
>Physical copies

Shit man, what are you doing?

>>28387027
actually the average budget for the most successful VN are 40,000 us dollars.

>>28387070
physical media best media

>>28387027
Eh, drop the VA's and it should become easily manageable.
I'd point to Katawa Shojo.

>>28386954

>>28387027
All this talk of VNs is making me want to watch Welcome to the NHK again.

>>28387089

>>28387047
She obviously likes the Wilhelm's and Marchamp and such. They're her friends. If she didn't go there each time she wouldn't get to see them for even longer. She's probably also thinking we don't like hanging out with her or doing what she likes.

>>28387105
look
>>28387078
Its relatively cheap, compared to other media.
Plus KS took around 6 years to make and it was mediocre.

>>28387131
With just Clannad, AS if the sequel.

Are there any VNs where you just do awesome shit instead of trying to not screw up relationships with women?

>>28387009

That's... actually a fairly good point.

>>28387070
A lot of people still like physical, look at most kickstarters the ones that get heaps are physical reward tiers

>>28387078
Yeah I don't have experience in the costs for VNs just regular games. 40,000 is still quite a large amount though and probably mostly achieved because the team is smaller so costs stay down
Unlike other games where the teams end up these bloated masses of everyone doing everything

>>28387249

Majikoi

>>28387131
Regular Clannad. I preferred the sub to the dub. After Story is the sequel. If you somehow don't like the original, force yourself to watch it. AS is worth it, by far.

It is a really bad point to make to her though.

Anime or VN?
Also how is the school days VN?

>>28387313
Both are okay, even if you read the VN the magic crap is still annoying and doesn't really fit with the rest of the story.
So watch the anime if you prefer anime to VNs, and vice versa.

>>28387297

We should make the point that we didn't mean that. Just the talk of changing the routine made us wonder if she would like to try something different for a change.

>>28386928
>[2/2]

After about ten minutes of walking, Luciana stops in front of a large restaurant.

"Ta-da~h!" Luciana says, doing an exaggerated twirl. "This place is called 'Green Dream.' It opened up a few months ago, and its food's really good!"
"So I assume that this is where we'll be having lunch?" Marianne asks.
"Yyyup! To be honest, I was planning on heading here after..." she drifts off. "...anyways, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it!"

You then follow Luciana into the restaurant... where there is -quite- the long line.

"Ehehe... I forgot to get a reservation, sorry," Luciana says.

>talk about a thing as you wait?

>>28387371

Small-talk for sure, but also sort of gets a bit more information on how much of this crowd is in town just for the celebration versus what would normally be expected.

That's dumb. She was talking about routine changing, and then we suggested a routine change. No need to go on about our paranoia.

Speaking of which, are we going to let him use magic in our duel?
I, for one, have no qualms with it as long as he's skilled enough to not kill us by using them.

well we already set 1 up we still have 4 more duels to set up.

>>28387850
i wonder how we are gonna set them up though.

definitely have magic, also hoping Rein will roll nat 1 to take training it more seriously and ignore the bitches and whores after he is healed.

Nico could be done as a warm up and easily.
The loli can be done anytime we want
Monique, we need to set this up to shut his bitching mouth and he would be willing to go anytime.
I don't know about the reverse trap though.

its probably a nude of our sister.

"I'm surprised that you'd need a reservation, considering your position," you say.
"Well..." Luciana sighs. "...I -could- just tell them who I am and skip to the front. That's what my elder siblings and most of the nobles would do, anyways... but I always found doing things like that to be really rude towards the people who actually did take the time to reserve a spot."
"Oh," you reply, surprised. "you do have a point there."
"I may like to tease those I love," she says, winking, "but I'm a nicer girl than you think."

Moving ahead in line a little, you're pretty shocked to see just how many people are in here.

"Is this place always this crowded, or is it just because of the people who came in town for the birthday festivities?" you ask.
"Umm..." Luciana places a hand on her chin. "...it's always pretty bad, but it is a bit worse than usual so I guess so? I'm sure the owners are happy, but I feel kind of sorry for the waiters... they must be working themselves to death here."

Yeah, a night guard post back in the army honestly seems preferable to dealing with this massive amount of people, and those always SUCKED.

After a halfhour or so of waiting, you finally reach the front of the line and a waiter shows the four of you to a table. Immediately recognizing Luciana, he apologizes for making you wait so long, but she waves it off and tells him notto worry about it.

He did give you a table in the less crowded part of the restaurant... that was probably his way of making up for it.

>[1/2]

>>28388224
>[2/2]

Taking a seat next to Marianne, you see that she still seems kind of pissed at you. Looks like it's time to apologize.

"Umm, Marie?" you say, turning to her.
"What?" Marianne replies.
"About what I said earlier... I was only wondering if there was something else that you wanted to do in the city," you say in as best an apologetic tone as you can manage. "I know you like Mr. Marchamp and the Wilhelms, I wasn't trying to imply that it was boring going there with you or anything."

"C'mon, just forgive him already," Luciana says. "You know he didn't mean anything bad by it."
"Ugh, whatever," Marianne grumbles. "I'd forgotten how stupid you are sometimes."

So does that mean that she forgives you?

>talk about someting before you order?

>>28388424
Awkward silence. Let it begin.

>>28388424
I don't really get why she's being such a bitch about it, but whatever. You're losing Reinhold points - we'll choose Sylvie if you keep this shit up

My vote is for talking about books. We've read a bit of Marianne's books, and Luciana has probably read them.
So we can talk about that.
Small talk is hard

>>28388424
Quiet, but not awkward silence. Take a look at a menu or something

Wait until Luciana inevitably breaks the silence

>>28388424
Talk about our match with taky or books

>>28388424
"What food is this place famous for?"

What was that thing that Marie had back in Granache? Fettuccine Alfredo? Maybe get some of that.

>>28388424

Perhaps ask about the fountain. Seems like a big fucking deal around these parts. Perhaps we can learn something

>>28388424
>So does that mean that she forgives you?
Just let it go. Harping on it isn't going to make things any better for either party.

>>28388525
>What was that thing that Marie had back in Granache? Fettuccine Alfredo? Maybe get some of that.
This is actually a pretty good idea. Broaden our food horizons a bit while reminding Marianne that we really DO pay attention to what she says to us—even the seemingly mundane.

>>28388507
I know, right? Its petty but I kinda just want to give her the silent treatment while having fun not!flirting conversation with Luci until she quits acting like such a brat.

>>28388507
>calling someone a bitch over a minor disagreement
>small talk is hard

Anon, you're not very good with people are you?

I've always kind of suspected that some people liked Sylvie simply because she was too timid to speak up against Reinhold, but wow.

>>28388424
Marie is in pure tsun mode. We must be getting close to the danger zone.

>>28388525
this is a good idea

>>28388640
>having fun not!flirting conversation with Luci

Is this double negative intentional? Are you saying you want to talk to Luci without flirting, or you want to have a conversation with Luci while not flirting (but we totally are)?

>>28388663
>not calling someone on their shit when they treat you like shit due to a minor misunderstanding

Anon, you get stepped on a lot, don't you?

>>28388663
>>28388507
Why are you dragging this wiafu shit in, plus the main reason i don't like the princess is because its too cliched and she tsun. i'm routing for tomboy and meido

>>28388693
letting the huussy flirt with us while ignoring the sour puss

>>28388694
Where were we treated like shit here? You're exaggerating her behavior.

>>28388663
I didn't intend to call her a bitch. She's being a bitch, but she is not a bitch.
She's acting like a bitch about it, she is not a bitch.
It's like calling someone an idiot when they do something stupid, even though they may otherwise be intelligent.
As for the small talk bit, it's less that I can't make small talk and more that I have trouble identifying with Reinhold or the quest on a level where I am capable of identifying and talking about inane things which all parties involved are interested in in any depth.

>>28388756
she is acting like a spoiled child though.it could be that her best friends advances are getting on her nerves.

>>28388694
She just got mad. She didn't curse us or anything. Touchy, aren't you?

That's exactly why I wanted to apologize about what we said right away.

>>28388672
Hnnngg

>>28388935
too soon honestly, we have to let her cool down first.

>>28388955
We'll giver her time to cool down now. Instead of time to dwell on a misunderstanding.

>>28388838
A bit of an exaggeration, but yeah. I mostly just didn't care for her snapping at us like that over a simple observation. Maybe her blood sugar was low and some food will help.

>>28388929
>dense mode Rein
Please no.
I wish for us to formally acknowledge that, as a character, Reinhold recognizes, at the least, Sylvie's infatuation. Jesus all of those commas
I don't want to go full retard Reinhold.

>>28389003

but we already did.

>>28389003
We already addressed it in character, we told her we can't think about dating anyone right now.

>>28388986
Something is definitely up with her.
Usually she'd just express some exasperation with us. I don't recall her ever snapping at us like that.
I vote that we ask Luci privately if something is up, later.

>>28388986
Read Rein's apology. She doesn't get to leave much, she has people she likes that she wants to talk to, and she thought we implied we didn't like being around her and the things she likes.

She's insecure and pessimistic, and took it more to mean "you should go somewhere else instead of talk to the people you only barely get to see because I don't want to do those thing."

>>28389034
and then right after ask who she likes.

>>28389016
>>28389034
Did we, though? She asked us what kind of girl we'd be interested in, and we said none right now.
I'm not sure that counts as acknowledging her interest. I just don't want us to become >>28388047. I'm just scared, anons.
Hold me.

>>28389034
And then she basically friendzoned herself.

Poor Sylvie.

>>28389104
Thank god.

>>28389104
She deserves someone with less issues anyway.

>>28389003
Rein already knows about the crush on him by Sylvie, and the love of Luciana though.

he just ignores them like the playa he is.

>>28389127
Indeed.

>>28389140
http://www.wikihow.com/Think-and-Act-Like-a-Player-%28Playa%29

Yeah, it's probably best not to dwell on it. Pushing the issue will just make her angrier, and she -is- pretty moody to begin with...

"Uh..." you search through your mind for something to change the subject with, "...so what kind of food is this place known for?" you ask as you look through the menu.
"Hm? Pretty much anything that you'd expect... but what they specialize in is pasta. Spaghetti, linguine, lasagna..."

And as if on cue, a waiter arrives to take your order at that exact moment.

"And what will you be having today?" he asks.
"I'll have the lasagna," Luciana replies.
"An excellent choice, Princess," he says, jotting it down on a notepad before turning to Takamaru. "And you, sir?"
"...do you have grilled salmon here?" Takamaru asks.

Oh yeah, he can't read so the menu wouldn't be of any use to him...

"That we do, sir," the waiter replies.
"Then I will have that," Takamaru says.
"And what about you?" the waiter turns to you.

Huh. Reinhold has got that mostly down, somehow.

>>28389135
if Sylvie can unleash her curouge enough to help patch up Reinhold's issues, she'll jump ahead of the other girls. i hope she becomes more agressive towards Rein soon.

>>28389322

There is no backbone in the world strong enough to withstand Reinhold's beta-schizophrenia.

>>28389443

>>28389322

>>28389479
>chicks start trying to fix you.
That's why you don't let them near the important parts with sharp objects.

>>28389443
yes we do. it is a bar that is preventing us from becoming one of the great bad asses of Granache!

>>28389482
i disagree, he's contracted '/tg/ quest troll poster' syndrome.

>>28389405
The route lock isn't for a long way off, though. Think of it this way, Marianne has her animal ranking to keep her distance from people due to her issues. Reinhold has similar and mostly worse issues and has his own ways of keeping that distance. Girls coming on to him now would be like coming on to Marie before hitting Man rank.

>>28387070
Physical copies don't make a bulk of sales, but they're great for "exclusive" content, since all you need to do is print disks and boxes, which you can do even with a relatively cheap home printer, and they give a more "real" feeling of ownership.

>>28387027
A lot of that can be just done out of pocket though - archelon likely already has computers, a space to work, and electricity/internet, and he doesn't need to pay himself. VNs take fuck all coding, especially if you just do it in Ren'Py, then it's essentially just markup. All he'd really need is commissioned art and music. Hiring VAs would be a huge boost in cost, even if only for a few critical lines.

>>28389596
Rein has a sword rank for all the girls....

Marie is a bastard sword.

>>28389631

>[2/2]

"Uh..." you mumble, trying to figure out what to get, "...Marie, what was that thing you got the other day? Fettasomething..."
"What, you mean fettucine alfredo?" Marianne replies, surprised that you even remembered something as minor as that.
"Yeah, that," you snap your fingers. "I'll have the chicken fettuccine alfredo," you say to the waiter.
"Alright... and you, miss?"
"I'll have the lasagna," Marianne replies.

After doublechecking your order, the waiter bows to you (actually, he's just bowing to Luciana) before heading off to the cook.

"And now we play the waiting game..." Luciana says.

I want to know this, but can't imagine it'd be in-character to ask about it here.

Talking about books strikes me as kind of a dick move what with Takamaru being unable to read. Though he probably wouldn't exactly care. Strikes me as a bit of a stoic.
