Best mech anything ever.
That should suffice for an intro.

First, MuvLuv Alternative's most obvious and consistent way of amazing you is its unparalleled production values. Normally, when you read a VN, there are always a handful of moments where you think "they really should have used another sprite for this line/character" or "that'd have been just a bit awesomer if they used another event cg there." In MLA, you will never find such a moment, no matter how hard you might look.

Of course, graphics mean nothing if the plot can't match them, but MLA's plot is no less amazing. The first 5-10 hours are effectively just more of Unlimited, but once the coup d'etat arc begins it rapidly gets awesome, and barring a few short lapses it never stops being awesome. Though the initial premise of fighting off aliens with mechs to save the world is nothing new, there is plenty of detail put into the aliens, the mechs, the history of the war, each of the Alternative plans, the relevant theories on multiverse physics, and all of humanity's backroom politics on those subjects, not to mention the dozens of genuinely moving speeches about what everyone is fighting for. As a result, every single plot twist is immensely plausible, and often potentially heartbreaking.

So, we are all voting for Muv Luv Alternative, right?

New poll thread

So we are all voting for Muv Luv Alt, right?

Which untranslated game do you most want to play?

ITT, awesome games that will never be translated

Everyone ready to vote for Baldr Sky?

MuvLuv Alt, without a doubt.

The top 2 VNs you want to see translated?

For me, Yu No and Muv Luv Alt.

With fan translations, how much translating are we seeing on an average day right now?

Ef- ~300 lines/day
Sharin no Kuni - was calculated to be a bit over 300 lines a day in a thread a few days ago
Umineko 5 - fast, but no idea rate
Sekien no Inganock- almost 400


SNI/EF/Sharin alone is about 1000 lines a day average, but there are a good number of other ongoing projects.

><!TakaJun> anyway, since most staff seem to be here right now, what do you guys think about these 2 potential candidates for the next project?
><!TakaJun> *hacking not considered (It'll be cool if you can look into it, SupernaturalDream)
><!TakaJun> Has gameplay, comedy, sex, and a bit of action, moe, and drama. http://www.galge.com/galge/member/soft/GS00004000/

What does /jp/ think of Muv Luv Alt?

Someone is enjoying Muv Luv Alt

<!TakaJun> still playing muvluv
<!TakaJun> played it for about...
<!TakaJun> [19:19] <TakaJun> okay, cancelling my plans tonight
<!TakaJun> [19:19] <TakaJun> gonna play muv-luv alt all night long
<!TakaJun> do the math
<LoSs> muv-luv is just plain awesome
<!TakaJun> yeah, it is
<!TakaJun> I thought extra and unlimited was awesome
<!TakaJun> but then alternative is just blowing my mind
<!TakaJun> I can understand why people say they're only setup for alternative
---
random talk about other games
---
<!TakaJun> muv luv alternative would probbly be another good possibility... only if its not so long and depended on two other games
---
random talk
---
<!TakaJun> but it's already awesome enough
---
<!TakaJun> but now I see how much this game depends on Extra and unlimited
---
<!TakaJun> daaaaamn
<!TakaJun> i wanna cancel all tomorrows plans and keep playing

>This refers only to the standalone game titled "Muv-Luv," broken into the two parts "Extra" and "Unlimited." I will play and review Muv-Luv Alternative someday.

>Muv-Luv Extra is standard harem. That one sentence is basically the core of this review, but there is more to say. There is still a point to reading it because a lot of the humor is great, which partly due to the characters--despite being basic moe archetypes--being comically exaggerated and executed flawlessly regardless. The production values are also insane (there does in fact seem to be a point to that allegedly "unhackable" engine) Of course, some of the gags are easily predictable and the plot is quite generic. You've seen most of this before.

>Muv-Luv Unlimited introduces a new plot. On the off chance you have managed not to be spoiled yet, I won't tell you what it is, but rest assured it is also just as generic as Extra's. To be fair, it is slightly unconventional in some ways, but that's cancelled out by a number of parts being forced. The characters are also all effectively the same.

>So basically, Muv-Luv is a chance to see a great presentation of some ordinary moe characters and plotlines, and not much else (except maybe a huge teaser for Alternative).

>Score: 7/10

>Polarization: Low (+/-1)

>In terms of moe, it's nothing revolutionary, so I really can't see anyone liking this more than an 8/10. And despite there being nothing original, there's also nothing done badly, so I can't imagine hating this more than a 6/10.
