A typical visual novel consists of text over - an anime-style background image and is accompanied by background music. - Throughout the game, the player usually has to answer a few questions which will - have an effect on the story, thus playing a visual novel a second time while - giving other answers may result in an entirely different plot.<br /> - <br /> - For more information see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Novel"> - the Wikipedia article on visual novels</a> or the description on - <a href="http://visual-novels.net/vn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=259&Itemid=47">Visual-Novels.net</a>. - To get a general idea of the genre, try one of the free short visual novels from - <a href="http://at2006.haeleth.net/release.php">al|together 2006</a>. - <br /><br /><br /> -</p> - - -<h3>How about Eroge, H-Games and Dating Sims?</h3> -<p> - An eroge or H-game is basically any Japanese game that features sexual - content. Many visual novels are eroge and many eroge are visual novels, - but this is not a rule. The definition of dating sim is a bit more vague, - but it's usually the same as a visual novel, except that a dating sim - generally uses a gameplay based on statistics.<br /> - <br /> - There are no strict bounds to the definition of "visual novel", most - eroge and dating sims include elements of visual novels, but may - - strictly speaking - not be visual novels themselves. As VNDB aims to - be comprehensive, we simply accept any game that contains elements of a - visual novel and is produced by a Japanese or Japan-related company or - doujin cicle. - <br /><br /><br /> -</p> - - -<h3>Why a Visual Novel Database?</h3> -<p> - The internet is large, very large, but the number of English resources - related to visual novels is only very limited. VNDB attempts to collect - and present as much information as possible that would otherwise be very - hard to find for the English speaking audience. This way fans can easily - keep track of new releases and localizations of their favorite games, - while not having to browse numerous of indistinct Japanese websites. - <br /><br /><br /> -</p> - - -<h3>How can I help VNDB?</h3> -</p> - There are many ways to contribute to VNDB.
