I believe that for all of you gentleman Otaku The ONS simulator is no stranger. More or less, they have experience playing game on PC, and even if they haven't played it, they probably have heard about related games. This time, we recommend the mobile ONS simulator to meet the desire of playing Galgame anytime and anywhere.
Galgame
ONS is the abbreviation of everyone's habit. ONScripter, namely Open Source Nscripter Galgame Engine, is the real ontology. From the name, we can see that Galgame is the reason why ONS was born. Galgame (abbreviated as "ギャルゲーーーーーーー") is a type of computer game, which is mainly sold by attractive women, and also known as "beauty game" and "cute game"; There is another explanation for this name. GAL is said to be the abbreviation of girl and love, so the translation of Galgame is "beauty girl love game".
Therefore, it is wrong for people to equate the game with the game of craftsmanship. Not all games have craftsmanship plots. And with the development of the times, the game is no longer just a work of girls. For example, from the perspective of women, the works of boys and girls are emerging one after another (After all, girls have more spending power now) According to the game content, the game will also be divided into several categories: TAVG (text adventure), VNG (visual novel), AAG (action adventure), ES (cultivation) and SLG (strategy).
NScripter
NScriptor has to mention the birth of ONS. NScriptor is a game production tool developed by Naoki Takahashi for making visual novels and games, because Easy to use, fast to execute, and good scalability, it is widely welcomed by the peer game production group. and Although the engine code itself is private, it is free software for non-commercial purposes. NScriptor has attracted many people who are making games for the first time to use it. But the disadvantages are very prominent. NScriptor only supports running on Windows.
ONScripter
Because NScriptor cannot cross platforms, a guy named Ogapee wants to run the game on his SHARP Zaurus, so he wrote an NScriptor equivalent engine running under Linux, named ONScripter (Open source NScriptor), Because of the open source code and highly portable SDL library, many fans have migrated it to different platforms and continuously migrated AVG games using other game engines to this platform, so now ONS can be used on a variety of platforms and devices (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, iOS, Symbian And so on). At present, only Waffle (AVG32) and ONScripter have been successfully transplanted into the general engine, while ONScripter has complete materials and tools. Therefore, some people will rewrite games not originally written by NS engine with NS and run them on other platforms with ONS, such as Fate/stay night and CLANNAD.
Android
Since ONS was originally developed in Linux, Android based on the Linux kernel naturally has a lot of simulators. For example, ONScripter EN, ONScripter Jh, and ONScripter GBK, the name suffix represents the supported language coding. EN is maintained by the English community, and Jh is the legendary game with the best compatibility. If you want to play Chinese or Chinese games, you should look for the GBK version.
In the maintenance and development of the Chinese community, ONScripter was transferred to the bakery for maintenance when a Chinese version was developed for various reasons. After several versions were updated, Bread Workshop added a function when version 3.0 was released, making the simulator not only support ONS migration games, so the original ONScripter V3.0 was renamed MINE V3.0, and now it is updated to version 3.1. x.
Naturally, some developers have developed the original ONScripter for the second time and launched ONScripter Plus. Added features such as font enlargement, support for Chinese, and video playback in the game. Among them, players prefer not to play with font files (the software automatically calls the default font), because after the ONS game file is decompressed, there are usually three categories of files: arc.nsa (media), default.ttf (font), and nscript.dat/.nt2/.nt3/.txt (script). If one is missing, it cannot run.
iOS
Although Android has unique advantages, ONScripter was born for cross platform use, and iOS also has a corresponding simulator - ONScripter for iOS. For well-known reasons, apps like ONScripter for iOS cannot be launched in the App Store, so if you want to use them on iOS, you will have to escape prison. Only ONScripter CN for iOS, also in the charge of Bread Workshop, was updated to version 2.1.0, while the Japanese community was updated to support Xcode 6.1.1+iOS 8.1, which may have stopped updating.
Windows Phone
You are one of the three major operating systems Windows Phone, Although people often ignore its existence, after all, NScriptor, the root of ONS, is developed for Windows. As a member of Windows, WP is lucky to have its own ONS like simulator - UVE. Although there is an emulator, compared with Android or iOS, which only copies the unzipped ONS game files to the mobile phone, WP has to import the game files through the UVEQuicjConvertTool to run normally. This is annoying, and the system is limited to Windows Phone 8 or above. WP7 and WP7.5 are discarded directly.
After looking at the ONS emulators of the three platforms, I believe you will find that Android platforms have the most choices and are updated frequently. iOS and WP have certain restrictions, and the operation is not as convenient as Android. If you really prefer to play Galgame on mobile devices, the Android platform is naturally the first choice. If you don't mind the hassle, iOS is also a good choice. As for WP
It's hard for a clever woman to make bricks without straw. In addition to the ONS simulators of various platforms, indispensable resources can be found in all the major post bars and forums. The author seems to have a mysterious code: 13c288fd8ab54d32b2d8b354c244136105aef747 (180 games arranged by an expert are said to be over 100G in size) 。
