Visual novels come in many forms and flavors. Consistent with the name of the genre, visual novels are something like books in game form. Most visual novels feature still images of characters on backgrounds with dialogue. If you are already familiar with visual novels, you may gloss over this section.Ī visual novel is a type of video game. I will start with the basics for those of you who may not be familiar with visual novels. A few are outstanding stories in their own right. All of the visual novels that I have looked at thus far are well-translated.
With the exception of Narcissu, most of the visual novels are mostly forgotten here in the United States. Here at The New Leaf Journal, I plan to review most of the visual novels that were translated for the three al|together festivals.
The festival was such a success that it was also held in 20, with many more visual novels that would have otherwise been little-read outside of Japan becoming available to English-speaking readers. At al|together, the team at Insani along with other talented translators translated many interesting doujin visual novels from Japanese to English with the consent and approval of the original creators. In 2005, a group called Insani, which translated both commercial and doujin (think indie) visual novel video games from Japanese to English, founded and coordinated the first al|together translation festival.
