I prepared this video just before leaving the house and forgot to post it here! Again written by Hato Moa and presented by Xaq, this is a chapter that centres around sexy and suave (and gradual?) Yuuya and his own reasons for being in this academy of craziness. Naturally it features a large amount of innuendo, along with a large amount of depression when Kazuaki wakes up and starts taking a lesson.

I had a dream about Hatoful! This time, it was about a super-super-secret path in the original game, though I can't remember what you had to do to unlock it and am afraid to try... the main character of the route was a cockerel who was investigating a murder (I don't think it was the same one as in the game), and was voiced by ravenworks in a hard-boiled film noir private investigator voice - he was chosen as the actor because the character was somehow related by family to Mister Death.

Unusually, we were all in the same room to record. We were doing it on my laptop, and I found it very difficult to tell whether I'd got the recording setup right in an unfamiliar environment.

Still. In real recordings, we did two more Hatoful Kareshi chapters recently, those of Fujushiro Nageki and Higure Anghel. And it’s only by reading the manga through along with the video that I appreciate just how much xaq does for these! I had no idea just how little of the dialogue we’ve been reading actually came from Moa - it’s all expanded to take advantage of the extra space we have and the characterizations that we've given the birds, and yet it’s never recognizable as something that wouldn’t have been said in the actual game. (I was particularly thrilled that "pompous feather-duster" was his own invention.) So all praises to Xaq, even more than usual.

After the prerequisite number of technical difficulties artificially put in place by Google, we got together to record the first chapter of Moa’s Hatoful manga! Thanks especially to xaq for this one, as he was the one who had the idea of creating a visual novel for the manga - and I didn’t realize until I read the original again what a good adaptation it was, with some ad libbing that I never even noticed to make it a little more suited to the new format.

Additionally, apologies go to him and budgiebin, as apparently I was in a bit of a mean mood during the start of this video!

It's part three of the Undertale demo! In this one, we complete our exploration of the caves and find somewhere we feel a lot more comfortable, then rapidly become much more uncomfortable again.

Remember when we got together to do Undertale in between all the other videos that I was in over the last week? Well, I eventually did - and as a courtesy to those who might like to see themselves, here at last is the first part! And the first video under the Team Hatoful name - I've had a go at producing a logo that mimics the game's style, but I'm trying to be aware that I currently have complete closed-box control over how these videos look in the end, so if anyone has an alternative they'd like to propose, feel free.


This was a bit of a challenge to edit because it's a cross between the Hatoful style of editing where I just patch it up (including about fifteen cumulative minutes of Google-inflicted technical difficulties just in the first part) and include every spoken line, and the Stumbling style where I pick and choose the funny or notable bits. This is a very different game to stream from Hatoful - there's not so much voice acting as commenting along and reacting together.

The first twenty minutes of the game are an interesting start to an RPG, where it's gradually made clear to you - in multiple layers - that things here work in mysterious ways (and so do kjorteo's vocal cords). Just when it looks like you're about to be on your own, you're mothered through the introductory puzzles, and introduced to a battle system that involves complimenting your opponent's appearance and then inviting them over for breakfast.
