Top OELVN studios/groups

#1 Post by DesertFox » Wed Jan 22, 2014 3:04 pm

What would you consider the top/most successful OELVN groups/studios?

I think of Christine Love, WinterWolves and DisChan as standing out most.

Add Moacube and Sakevisual. In my case I'm moving a bit away from OELVN to concentrate on life/dating sims and RPGs.

Cyanide Tea are pretty impressive, and they're also only a two-man team which I think is awesome

SakeVisual?

And MoeVisual look like they could be good (http://moenovel.com/imh/)

And Orfeyus Studios aren't popular I don't think, but I've read Petrichor and it's fantastic! (http://orfeyus.weebly.com/petrichor.html#ORFEYUS)

MoeNovel is branding for a translated Japanese release, not an EVN.

It's a rather generic question, though, don't you think? Without definitions you may as well be asking 'who's your favorite'. :)

Exactly :mrgreen: You may want to narrow down your thread focus to like OELVN devs/studios/groups that went commercial or those that gave in to the temptation called Kickstarter and such but then again this will resemble a poll thread so um yeah... we stop here... :)

But before I go I would just like to add that I personally think STUDIO MUGENJOHNCEL - Headed by Uncle Mugen "Mugenjohncel" is the best OELVN group out there!!!... YEAH!!!... MAKES OELVN ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET!!! (ok so it's a one man team) Seriously, no self respecting OELVN dev will put himself lower than others and I take pride in my work so yes... I'm the best but then again... it's just like... my "extremely biased" opinion :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

"POOF" (YIHAA!!! Runs away!!!) :mrgreen:

My current favorite is Love in Space. No commercial release yet but that's what makes this one rocks!

Dai-Sukima Dan most underrated and under-appreciated despite their qualitatively high releases.

Wow, after at least two years or more it's still the same people occupying mind-share.
