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 is a nukige, so don’t expect more than lots of H-scene) but from an artistic perspective, it is very interesting. Truly, 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 beautiful well. The art is good-looking and coherent with the animation, and the soundtrack effect really adds a lot too. In short, the cinematics are worthy.

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