Rondo Duo, Movie, GameRip

As you might know it, Rondo Duo ~Dawn at Fortissimo is a japanese visual novel that’s been released by doujin company 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. Really, 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 gorgeous well. The art is nice-looking and coherent with the animation, and the soundtrack effect truly unites 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 true 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 stop 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 don’t think they were working full time on this though). Not execrable for a doujin union but you see my point. What I’m in fact curious to see is a visual novel with ponctual cinematics like that, done only for key scenes. I have the feeling it would unite a lot to the experience. I’m sure every visual novel reader had seen moments where static pics weren’t sufficient to convey the right emotion (like fight episodes or dramatic scenes).
