At least the quality of writing in the fan translation of Paca Plus is Shakespeare tier.
It's definitely a good entry point for anyone interested in visual novels with a plethora of choices.

It's not a traditional visual novel, has aspects of VN but I wouldn't say it's a VN, game great though in it's own way

Since you folks are all about Long Live the Queen, I'mma recommend Princess Maker 2 instead.
It's one of the earliest and most well-designed raising simulators, the premise being that, as a retired war-hero praised for defeating the prince of darkness, you're given custody of a heaven-born little girl whom you're required to parent. Different birthdates and attributes already effect how she'll behave as you prepare for her a monthly schedule of activities, ranging from farm work to practicing at an atelier. The game itself has tons of unique endings, great audiovisuals, some interesting challenges by late-game, and was the only game in the series to be professionally translated.
Takami Akai's pretty cool in general, being both the game's designer and a talented artist in his own right (animated Gainax's earliest stuff and did the artwork for these games).

A quick job so a bit messy.

This is why I rarely post in here. Too much random. I get that you guys know each other really well now, but this place is pretty much just a Community thread most of the time with a few Steam moments here and there.
I'd rather have talk of visual novels and alpacas than that gift drama nonsense.
Anyways, i'm gonna post the rest of the Skullgirls webms later today. I'm too tired right now.

Every thread this active is going to have its phases. It doesn't help that we're struggling with Post-Sale Stress Disorder (PSSD for short).

I for one welcome our new alpaca overlords.
So Fist of Awesome finally released today. It's supposed to be a somewhat good beat-em-up game.

I'm gonna try it now with everyone saying how great it is.
Yo so since I seem to be actively posting here finally, I figure why not try and get in on this SteamGAF group.

Not all VNs are about romance, but it tends to be heavily featured in them. For example, one VN on Steam that lacks any romance subplot would be Dysfunctional Systems. Steins;Gate has romantic subplots at times, but it focuses more on the actual sci-fi story and isn't really a dating VN.
Most have romance in them in some form, yeah. Not all visual novels are like that though i think.
I don't even like reading books and i find visual novels very interesting.

Uplay won't remember mine despite checking the box every single time I use it. Uplay sucks.
Broforce is God's gift to Bros, by the way.

I'll use Phoenix's avatar when I wake up. It at least stays within the lines, lol.
Two Greenlight games I might actually play:
Abatron looks promising, in the spirit of Dungeon Keeper but within a more traditional RTS premise. It lets players both direct the battle from overhead (RTS interface) and take control of an individual unit at any one time (though not necessarily a hero unit). Game world itself looks a little generic, and there's definitely not a lot of content for the devs to showcase. This one's a keeper, so long as it's somewhat balanced and can gain a good community.
Five Nights at Freddy's just looks horrifying. It's not enough that every web celeb on YouTube's gonna make a dog and pony show of it, the concept itself feeds on bad memories of Chuck E Cheese from the turn of the millennium. I'm not sure how much more complex it'll be compared to, say, a Slender game, but trying to avoid malcontent animatronic robots from the false safety of a security console sounds interesting. Here's hoping they port the app to Mac and Linux should it take off.

The silent hill VN doesn't have any romance, for example.
Ok, thanks. I'll check out Dysfunctional Systems, then. I'm interested in trying a visual novel, but I don't particularly care about romance.
I have Bioware games for that lol
Anyway, are there some other good visual novels without romance as their focus?
edit:
thanks! I'll check that one out as well.

Oh fuck yes, this is the winner. Now absolutely no one will figure out the source of the original avatar!
I tried drawing it in using MSPaint.
Maybe.
