Morenatsu (visual novel, beta) anyone?

Boss Doggie

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So yeah, I think I'll take a cup of water for a moment because I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I guess it's because of Katawa Shoujo getting a thread so I thought this would be a good idea. Hell, I think there are GAF users with avatars from the nine characters! Hahahaha...

Anyway, Morenatsu - the title is 漏れなつ。 which means "Summer break." Straight to the point: it's a fur-I mean kemono visual novel. It's male-only but really, there are females playing KS so I don't see what's wrong! :P It's definitely an adult visual novel, but to be fair, it's pretty safe (barring some jokes and weird stuff) until you managed to get the "good" paths (yes this game has weird, multiple endings per "character") and the lewdness only comes there. It's still in beta, but the demo is free to play but in Japanese only. There are patches for English play but I'm not sure it's fine to share. I will link it when it's good to go. Out of the 9 paths (and even then it's probably 8 because 2 characters seem inseparable), 5 are done though one is still under translation. Here's how to play it.

More info at TVTropes. You can also check /vg/ and yes, it has a healthy community.

So uh, the cast are as follows...

morenatsu_99454uonw.jpg


You (Default: Hiroyuki Nishimura) - You're the male human who returned to the Waterfront, a rural village beside a river, during the summer vacation (hence Morenatsu). You went back because of a letter from your old friends - the 9 characters. Depending on the route you are either dependable, an idiot, an amnesiac, a sadistic guy, a nice guy, or what have you. Also for some odd reason he can't drink ramune properly.

Torahiko Ooshima - Your tiger childhood friend who apparently sent the letter to you. He is a swimmer who wants to be a chef. A bit of an optimist. Route not available yet. He is also considered the "face" of the game and is the "canon" route.

Tatsuki Midoriya - the big dragon who works as a craftsman. He's the only one who can drink around your circle of friends, and is treated as a big brother.

Juuichi Mikazuki - grumpy bear and member of the judo club. Despite his disposition he is nice in the inside, and oftenly lectures Torahiko around. His route is open in the current patch but is under translation.

Kounosuke Kuri - the tanuki is always late in group meetings and has a tendency to trail off in his own thoughts. He carries a camera since he wants to submit something for a photography contest.

Kouya Aotsuki - this husky ran away from his family after some personal troubles and now stays alone. Despite that he remains friendly to the group. He belongs to the Muzikah, a band, and there's an upcoming competition.

Kyouji Takahara - this dog whose eyes are always shut and only has like 3 sprites or so is a member of the soccer club. The labrador always helps out and is big with the ladies. His route is not yet available.

Shin Kuroi - he lives in a mansion and is definitely rich. The cat is your typical bishounen rich boy archetype - good grades but sickly. Oh and he's sharp-tongued. He still enjoys your group though.

Shun Kodori - naive young wolf, and despite his looks, he's only one year younger. Apparently it's due to his family being like that. He's very hyper when video games are involved however, and he looks up to you.

Soutarou Touno - junior to Kyouji's senior. The lion belongs to the soccer club and is actually the only of the nine who Hiroyuki has never met before. Apparently looks up to Kyouji so much. His route is not yet available, though he apparently shares it with Kyouji.

-

When I first tried the game, I was entering with the notion of "this should be funny". I mean, even if they're from Japan I don't really expect something much on a furry work. But holy shit after picking Kouya (oh god) I felt so much "feels". Forget the lewd sex, I genuinely feel for the character and you definitely feel satisfied when you go through his route. With that said, I heard his route is the most straightforward one unlike Tatsuki's, Shun's, and Shin's.

So uh... guys?
 
LOL you should have tried to raise awareness in the english visual novel thread, first .
Considering it has regulars VN players ( and a semi active discussion) you discuss this stuff and considering the nature of the game.

Still i'll sit back and see what will happen in this thread over time.
 
I actually considered that, but I thought the game isn't really complete, and even the current patch isn't fully translated.
Also maybe everyone there only likes girl stuff :/

I honestly made this thread because I just tried out Kouya's route :x
 
Wait, if your main character is a male human, is this a BL VN? o_O

I think it encompasses the spectrum from yaoi to bara depending on your route. Hell, it can even be shota even though that character is a late teen.

And like I said, you can pretend Hiroyuki is a girl barring the CG art towards the end of the routes.

I'm out. Enjoy your game though. ^^
 
I don't know, maybe I'd give it a try out of curiosity if it was fully translated.

Edit: Is the primary audience of this (furry) gay men? Are the developers?

Speaking of that thread, someone needs to create an English Developed Visual Novel thread (as in VNs developed outside of Japan, in english, such as Katawa Shoujo)
 
On a related note, the game has different people working on it. The artist for instance only drew the cast, but didn't handle the writing. The novel itself has different authors. So if you get turned off by Konousuke's route (and it is definitely terrible - nothing happens there and you spend the whole month of August being a dick), you should try the others.

i don't think there are that many to make a thread about it .
And many won't be aspolished as katawa shojo.

Fell free to prove me wrong however.
 
How graphic is this? Is this porn?

The only "graphic" part is the still porn image near the end of each route... and even then it depends if you get the proper choices.

Hell, it doesn't even feel like a dating sim. It feels more like you're hanging out with your best buds.

It's a bit of a joke of a community, but it's growing rapidly. Maybe a thread will pop-up some time within the next two years.

I believe Four Leaf Studios (creators of KS) are slated to announce a new VN this year? Dischan (creators of Juniper's Knot) is another high-quality developer, and has some games releasing this year I think.

Ok. Thanks. Not my thing at all, unfortunately.
 
Shin > Kouya > Torahiko > Tatsuki > Juuichi > Kyouji > Sotarou > You sick bastard

Although I only finished Shin's route. Looking forward to Tora's.

How graphic is this? Is this porn?

Not very. Kinda.

Each route
only has a single sex scene so unless you tend to watch porn with hours of text and an image of payoff it's not really porn.

On the other hand you do fuck furry guys so can't really say it isn't porn.
 
I updated the first post with a pastebin link on how to do it.

Why did you chang your Shin avatar?

Also Kouya
has 2 scenes
. You should play his. I avoided Shin's route because of all the stuff you have to do to get the BEST ending.
 
Wasn't feeling it anymore, happy corgi is just temporary until I find something else.
 
This is good stuff, even if you're not interested in kemono characters, the stories are well done, as far as I can tell. I've only been through Tatsuki's route but I'm really looking forward to Juuichi and Torahiko's...
 
Yeah, Tatsuki's pretty well done, but one of the bad endings will really get you, and I'm not even talking about the "joke endings".
 
Yeah I think I heard about that. I only got one ending for Tatsuki, but it was pretty sweet overall. I'm not really sure what choices affect what, so I haven't really bothered to go back and try to get his other endings quite yet.

Yeah. I still don't want to do Shin because of the stuff you need to do for the best ending.

Not into bestiality.

Nah wrong one.
 
Oh dear, a Morenatsu thread on the first page O_o

Well, now that Juuichi's route is complete, we'll have to wait and see if Kyoiji and Soutaro are bundled in one route or given their own. Torahiko is pretty much a given to be last route.
 
I'm ashamed to admit that I'm more interested in Ten than Juuichi. Also dat name pun (10 and 11 (ten and juuichi). Oh well, there are at times you want the side character more than the main route.

Apparently the translation patch is sorta messed up at the moment. I'm waiting for a fix.

And wasn't Soutaro and Kyouji inseparable in the "choose the character you want to sit beside with"?

I need to get around to finishing this sometime. I started it months ago, but never bothered to continue playing. =P

Who did you pick :P
