Tsugumi is best girl.

Would you EVER going to visit that place after having read Ever17?

>>16942452
Because building shit underwater costs tons of money and needs too many precautions.

Sora is augmented reality, not VR.

We don't even have terabyte discs
What were some other future techs in Ever17? That retinal display thing also isn't even close to existing, I think.

It felt like I've traveled back in time. I don't even have any optical disc drive on my pc. Also we've gone a long way since PDAs.

>>16944153
You never put CD/DVDs in your PC?

>>16944234
My current PC has none. It's been a few years since I had to use CD/DVDs.

The US is flooded with liberal tears as we speak.

There's an underwater hotel in Dubai and museum in Cancun, but the museum doesn't really count.

>five dimensional
See how we've progressed, the game was released in circa 2002 - 2005 and only mentioned 4 dimensions. We're talking about five dimensions in 2013. Current year and we have a multi dimensional chess player at the helm.

There are the oxygen pods and human cloning . It's good this game doesn't predict the future well because Tief Bl--oh wait we've had Ebola

It's always existed, it just never got interesting enough to focus much effort on it. Maybe it'll be picked up and improved in a couple years, like what happened to VR.

uchikoshi remembered
https://twitter.com/uchikoshi/status/858829428909940736

I added this date to my google calendar over 5 years ago when I first finished the game. I'm gonna cry

>>16946645
Even Chiyomaru remembered.

>>16947327
The Ever17 tag has a bit of activity on it too. it's quaint to see, I thought at this point hardly anybody would have cared enough to notice the date the game was coming on had come up.

Now, I wonder if anyone's gonna remember on May 1, 2034

>>16947373
Maybe ZTD release last year renewed some interest in Ever17.

>>16947402
It isn't that popular in Japan really.
And in the west barely anyone who likes Ever17 also likes whole Zero Escape series.

>>16947457
I mean it's true.
I liek 999 Just fine, I don't care what people say it was different enough from Ever17. It's twist relied on a different gimmick. VLR borrowed too heavily from Ever17 but it was okay I guess. I enjoyed some elements of it. Fuck Zero Time Dilemma.

>>16947476
I'm glad that this VN is almost impossible to adapt into anime or manga. ZTD was like watching interactive anime with bad cgi animation. Kind of a preview of another timeline where they tried to adapt Ever17 into anime.

>>16947530
ZTD should have just stuck to visual novel format. Then it would have had more time to flesh out it's concepts/characters, the plot would move around at a better pace, some of the twists would have seemed less like asspulls, and we wouldn't have had to look at that ugly CG wreck. If they didn't have the budget to make the graphics look good at all simple 2D art would have worked much better.

There's a manga of ever 17, it's the closest thing we'll get to an anime adaptation, and shows how misguided the whole thing is. They have to toss out the big twist right away, and it covers the Tsugumi route only.

>>16947530
>Kind of a preview of another timeline where they tried to adapt Ever17 into anime.
Chiyou wants to do it.

>>16947474

>>16947548
Tsugumi's arc was adapted into a manga, and I don't think that worked too well. Also only the first four chapters were translated ;_;

>it's trending in Japan
Glorious!
>>16947676
I know.
I am also glad that it was only Tsugumi's arc as it was an adaptation of Xbox 360 version.

>>16947402
Actually, it might be Kagaku;Adventure instead seeing as most of the Ever17/Infinity staff moved there.

>finished my first route
>saw this
>determined to save the "remaining girl"
>completed several more routes
>still got this
>frustrated why I can't save both girls
>got into final route
>shat bricks when I realized what it meant

>>16947457
I always thought it was kind of bizarre, maybe it's just my perception but years ago it seemed like Ever17 was on the most well regarded VNs out there in the west. Typically it was either it, F/SN or Clannad at the top of VNDB's list, but after reading it I went looking through pixiv and the boorus and was quite surprised at just how little popularity it had in Japan.

That trait carried over to the Zero Escape series too. I wonder what it is.

Naturally, I knows the hacker.

>>16948661
Yeah, the original translation was so bad it broke a major spoiler early.
Anyone who's planning to play this: GET THE TYPO PATCH!

>>16948465
Ever17 has similar cult classic appeal in Japan as well. It just wasn't comparatively as huge as on the newly emerging English VN market.

>>16949096
what did it spoil?

Thanks, I guess I'm retarded. Could've sworn kid threads were in jun.

You will never have a daughter about your age.

>>16949870
Not with that attitude.

>>16949759
Forgive me for being stupid, but it's been years since I last played this, and, well, how is this a spoiler? I don't know how they fucked up the "translation" of the dates so bad but other than that the English and Japanese textboxes say roughly the same thing, no?

>>16950041
Not him, but while Kid route takes place in the 2034, until the final route he is tricked to believe that he is in 2017. Thus while those photos are indeed from 15 years ago (2019) - he thinks that 15 years ago was 2002 instead.

>>16950118
Oh, I see now. The mistranslation of 02/07/19 turning into a spoiler because 19-2=17 is a pretty sick coincidence.

>>16950041
>>16950177
The translation somehow butchered the date 2002-07-19 into 07-02-2019.

This is why the whole world should use ISO 8601 standard date format.

>>16950229
>somehow
European dates are the opposite of Japanese, so 02/07/19 is 02.07.2019.

When the emo tries to be edgy.

>>16950279
Please look at the screenshots: >>16949759

The original text gives the date as 2002年7月19日, unambiguous and simple latin numbers. How does one fuck up so badly?

>>16950321
Maybe the translator didn't know Japanese? Fuck if I know. "The translator was European and assumed the '2002年7月19日' in the script was a mistake" is the best explanation you're going to get.

I've thought for years now that he was drinking with Sora.

An overly optimistic part of me was hoping Ever17 would have its Steam release polished up and ready to launch today, as it's been on steamdb for years now.
https://steamdb.info/app/200090/

As far as I know, it and the Halo series are the only games that have gotten as far as having a steamdb entry without ever getting a proper release.

>>16951933
If it were released on Steam, I'd buy it yesterday.

Who owns Kid's IP now that CyberFront is defunct too?

Send your regards and thanks to the authors /jp/.

Is this worth playing raw if you've been spoiled on what I'm assuming is a major plot point?

>>16954767
Sure, you should play it even if someone already spoiled you the whole story.

One of my favourite seiyuu gave a shout out to this game yesterday.
Did she said Ever17 was the first novel game in which she participated? My Japanese is bad.

>>16947373
Ever17 is their magnum opus. Uchikoshi and Nakazawa were both in the end 1trick pony. IO, Zero escape and root double were all mediocre kusoge made by them to replicate Coco's route only to end up failing.

>>16947530
But there is an Ever17 manga? There's also drama CDs.
>>16955797
Remember11 is excellent.

>>16955841
The manga was only for Tsugumi's route, not really a full adaptation. It ignored a lot of stuff from the VN especially the major overarching plot. Drama CDs were post game stories if I remember correctly.

Remember11 has excellent pacing; really kept me on my toes. My huge gripe with it "ending" brought no closure for me. Ever17 had horrible pacing but at least I'm mostly satisfied with the ending.

>>16955797
I liked I/O better than Ever17, but less than Remember11.
>>16956056
>My huge gripe with it "ending" brought no closure for me.
Eh, it's ending is when you end playing it. After you 100% it the story should be more or less clear and imagineing what happens next isn't hard. It's just AITSU is much more you than Winkel ever was.

>>16965607
"Karma" is very much the "Morphogenetic Sorrow" of E17.

>>16947457
I liked both. Played Ever17 years before I played any of them so it's not like the similarities bothered me.

Then again I also enjoy replaying games that I enjoyed years before.

Well folks, it's been a ride in Lemu. Assuming /jp/ is still here, I wonder if we'll have another related commemoration in the distant future.

>>16977434
Ever17 now takes place in the past or half of it, anyway. Where do the years go, /jp/

My Merry Maybe is better but E17 is still awesome and fuck stupid circlejerks who disagree

>>16978432
I wonder If I'll still be here at the next commemoration.

Nakazawa posted some more leftover things that weren't really talked about in the interview earlier this week if anyone wants to take a look.
