The scripts here are collected for use by people studying language, not entertainment. The scripts have scenes out of order and don't tag the names associated with dialogue lines. These scripts can not be read as a substitute for the games they're from.
These scripts are stripped down so that they cannot be used as a substitute for the original visual novels. They only contain information that's useful to corpus linguistics, statistics, and language learners.
Scripts are no longer stored individually. Complete archive download here.
If you have a script not listed here, please post it on /jp/'s Daily Japanese Thread. Include the text "vn script" in your post so I can find it. Dies irae has the ideal script format. Newlines are line breaks, not line wraps. Pagebreaks are double newlines. Dialogue is marked with 「」. Furigana is marked with 《》, with the associated span marked with 〈〉. If 《》〈〉 show up in the original script, they should be replaced with «»‹›.
If you're donating, I prioritize untouched data files that are already easy for me to dump, like the following: BGI (either version), RScript, PJAdv, AdvTry, ExHIBIT, FVP, krkr .scn, Majiro, Musica, TamoGameSystem, Willadv (some versions), igscript. Some textual script krkr games are easy to dump, but they can have pretty much any format.
The format of all scripts is utf-8 because shift-jis does not contain all characters used in all VNs. Fate/Stay Night and Dies Irae are obvious examples that can't be encoded with shift-jis. For reference, there are three original encodings for these scripts: Shift-JIS, UTF-8, and UTF-16. Shift-JIS is the most common, and UTF-16 is the least. Every script has to be encoded in the same encoding, so UTF-8 is used in order to avoid altering any weird text in the scripts, because it contains every character used in every script, and characters that don't exist in any standard encoding can be put in its private use area.
Right now this collection has about 25% the amount of text it needs to be a reasonable corpus. Please help me build it up. Even doujin writing is fine.
Changelog is no longer updated, even when the archive is.
