Rondo Duo, Film, GameRip

As you might know it, Rondo Duo ~Dawn at Fortissimo is a japanese visual novel that’s been released by doujin union Tinkle Bell last Halloween. Plot-wise, it has little to no importance (it’s a nukige, so do not expect more than lots of H-scene) but from an artistic perspective, it’s very interesting. Actually, Tinkle Bell uses an handmade Flash engine to make everything animated. Whereas rival japanese companies (like Windmill Oasis who introduced it first with Witch Garden back in 2012) primarily uses the « Emote » system as a light gimmick, this new system does reproduce the illusion of movement pretty well. The art is nice-looking and coherent with the animation, and the soundtrack effect really unites a lot too. In short, the cinematics are fantastic.

Seeing the intro episode of Rondo Duo makes you wonder what it’d be like if visual novel with a true plot used cinematics like that. Of course, I’m not speaking of a full-animated visual novel, it would be expensive as inferno for indie creators. Tinkle Bell itself took 6 years to finish their diversion (it was announced back in 2008) and there was like two or three people working in the team during all that time (I don’t think they were working full time on this although). Not execrable for a doujin gathering but you see my point. What I’m truly curious to see is a visual novel with ponctual cinematics like that, done only for key scenes. I have the feeling it would combine a lot to the experience. I’m sure every visual novel reader had seen moments where static pics weren’t enough to convey the right emotion (like encounter scenes or dramatic scenes).
