Thanks. Maybe I will. I had a deer with his tongue sticking out for a while. Last edited by kennyc; 09-11-2009 at 08:55 PM. |

While probably the majority of them are so-called "hentai games", there are quite a few "clean" works which can be as good as any book. Probably the most well-known example outside Japan is Ace Attorney series (although some think they include a bit too much of gameplay for a "true" visual novel). The entry level is low enough that there are plenty of freeware games from independent authors. (A few have been translated into English, for example True Remembrance or Narcissu.) |

I have read it through just now. I thought it is a novel idea... something new... give it a chance...
The story is hollywood in a book, unbelievable, clicheed, over the top. And the videos are just an annoyance, I have to go to the computer watch it, get upset, because style and story don't fit the rest. The videos sometimes tell one story, while the book tells another story. Well I gave it a chance, can't do more than that. What irked me most, was how unrealistic it was. I wish they would have stopped at some point and turned on common sense. Ciao Sven |

Setting the record straight: Though I am currently enjoying Level 26ark Origins immensely, I must point out that Dutton/Penguin Group falsely claims it as 'the first digi-novel'. Patrick Carman's Skeleton Creek (Jan, 2009) was out 9 months earlier.

3 yr old thread
Hope that was appreciation. There's no time limit on justice. Especially when an 'author' is known for a lousy t v show while the real author gets totally slighted by all powerful publishing publicity department . Also Patrick Carman has already completed 6 digi-novels (2 series). Of course I suppose some will denegrate his books as 'kids' books. Good read is a good read. And true innovator is true innovator.

I don't see anything innovative about combining text and video. It happens on the web all the time. Some people look at books and say "That's great, but where's the video?" That's like going to a park, being in the middle of nature, far away from the noise of cars and thinking "That's great, but what this needs is a water park and bumper cars and some roller coasters!" I have nothing against water parks, bumper cars or roller coasters, but they have their place. If I want video, there's TV. It's been three years, and people aren't exactly lining up to have books with embedded video.
