NaNoRenO Game Show (feat. many insanely fun VNs)

[Dreamgazer]

The blood, sweat, and tears of the NaNoRenO entrants won't be forgotten! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the cast of different visual novels compete against each other? Well, now you can find out! (Unfortunately, I can't invite all 71 VN casts or I would die. But hey, do check out the game jam page to see the others!)

Several groups received this letter. Who were they? Start your crossover journey by clicking on the images above or here. Or just check it out if you're having trouble reading Alexandrite's handwriting. I'll be updating this weekly, but you can also follow me on Tumblr or like me on Facebook to keep track of it.

Don't forget to cast your vote on who you think will emerge victorious here.

Burning Questions
1) Who do you think will win and why?
2) What challenges do you think these 5 teams will face?
3) Have you played all of the NaNo games yet?

Bonus question: Do you recognize your hosts' cosplay? (It comes from my NaNo entry, Ready, Set, Parody!, for the curious.)

If you have the time, please do comment with your answers. (Of course, if you rather skip the questions, feel free! You're welcome to stop by with words of encouragement or any other kind thought you have.) Discussion and excitement is heartily encouraged.

By the bye, are you an artist? Do you want to contribute fanart or maybe an accompanying illustration? Send me a message, here or on Twitter, and I'll be happy to show off your work for the world to see. Let's have fun with this!

It's been my pleasure to collaborate with these awesome game devs. Please do support them as they fight tooth and nail for victory!

JUSTICESEXUAL

I'M DYING

Anyway, I'm excited to see the cast of Between the Lines here, too! I must admit I wasn't expecting those guys, but I'm super excited because I really enjoyed that VN. Reflections on the River is downloaded, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet (unfortunately). Lads in Distress, I'm planning on waiting for the full release (which is still in progress, right?), and I haven't played 2 Minutes for Roughing since hockey was never particularly interesting to me. I do quite like the cast, though - I might have to play it anyway once this is all over. ^_^

As for who will win, my hypothetical money is on Banality Man. He LITERALLY

punched his way back through time and destroyed capitalism

. Those fists are not to be underestimated.

[Yomuchan]

I have no idea what's going on, but I bought popcorn.

DIS GUN' BE GOOD. Go for it, Dreamgazer!

PS: Is it Vi, or roman numerals 6?

Wildfire would definitely agree with you. To everyone else, she just says:

Don't forget the candy! Because this promises to be a sweet show. And I'm glad you asked! It's Vi, pronounced like the letter 'v.'

Now then, let's proceed to the 1st Challenge!

Click on the pic or this right here to find out what the 5 teams will face.

Question for Funsies:

If you were in the game show, what would you and/or your visual novel cast prepare for the judges and which 3 hosts would you choose?

[Dreamgazer]

Here comes the brunt of the 1st Challenge! Are you ready for this?

Find out who's got the chops!

[Dreamgazer]

You know why I'm here. Let's get the judging over with!

Find out who got the most stars for their cuisine.

Hope everyone's enjoying the game show so far. It's definitely been a blast making it with the other teams.

[Dreamgazer]

Hope everyone enjoyed the 1st Challenge because here comes the 2nd one! And this time, you can help decide the winner.

The teams have to do...what?! Get involved in the 2nd Challenge here.

[Zelan]

Yeah, I think Banality Man x Captain America is my new OTP.

No Between The Lines cast this time, though?

[Dreamgazer]

Ooh, yes, they didn't want to include what their cast discussed beforehand, so their date will be a complete surprise. Out of curiosity, who do you think they'll send out on a date and with which judge? If you don't mind me asking.

That's what I've been trying to figure out. cx Ettore and Cecil are both sort of uncertain when it comes to romance. Bianca is too, but a little less so than the guys, so I figured that it would be her. I have absolutely no idea which judge they would pick, though. Maybe Arsenik or Chase, since they've already interacted with those two a bit for the last challenge.

We'll have to see if you're right! Is there any particular pairing you're hoping to see? Can't guarantee it'll happen, but you never know.

Oh, and in the meantime, here's the first date.

Shirtless men, punching, and top hats - oh my! Join their fun shenanigans here.

i'm dying, banality man is just too much for me to handle

Hmmm... I'm ashamed to admit I haven't read any of your VNs, Dreamgazer (although I'd definitely like to now that I've seen your writing style), so I don't know your characters too well. Chase seems like a sweet guy, though, so I think I'd most like to see him with Bianca.

It also would have been hilarious to see either one of the guys try to date Wildfire, but I doubt that they would pick that. cx

Aww, I'm glad to hear you enjoy my writing style! And it's all right if you haven't read any of my VNs yet. That just means I'll have to make my games even more compelling. Hopefully, I'll succeed with War (X Playing Pieces)'s demo. Almost to the finish line with that one!

Anyway, you get your wish come true - at least, partly.

Watch as cute romance blooms between Princess Yanyu and...?!

Feel free to let me know if Chase was as sweet as you thought he'd be!

um

i ship it <3

I love the picture of the two of them! Is Silky-Starry-Heart drawing something for all of the dates?

In that case, I would say that's mission accomplished for Team Nantu!

Silky-Starry-Heart definitely would have to loved to draw something for all of them, but she has school coming up, so the next date will be the last one with her work for now. But I don't want anyone feeling left out, so I'll be drawing the last two myself. Although, if you know anyone who would like to volunteer their artistic ability, just send 'em my way.
