METANORN Presents ~Met’Amour~

*DRUMROLLS* A METANORN[dot]Net Production

Gotta catch ’em all

Muhawahahahahaaa! Just as planned… I’m sorry, but I can’t contain myself right now. I feel like I have just won a marathon race in Olympics because it seriously feels like it. After days, weeks and almost months, this project is finally complete! If you have been a site regular and following our shenanigans since February, you must be attuned to the fact that we have been up to no good. Well, it’s more than a cook up because it goes beyond the scope of this website as it is more than ambitious.

Honestly speaking, this update was strictly for Valentine’s Day but the said project took so much time in completion; you can guess from the duration of alpha to beta, which took around two months. I’ll not bore you with how much work we put in, you can simply read the credits below for that. However, it’s definitely a Metanorn Team baby and we have nurtured it to grow up since January 10, 2011. Following is just a glimpse of the team effort at final phase after which the first RC was launched at a temporary link and few of our friends and site regulars helped in pointing out some bugs.

Click to Enlarge: The most EPIC SPREADSHEET EVER!!!

As you can guess right now, Metanorn’s Matchmaking Special Service was just a teaser. The real deal is “Met’Amour”, a dating sim game, visual novel style. There, I said it. I would like to thank everyone who nominated one or the other character, showcased above. Rather than just giving you one character, we are giving out eight routes in total with some surprises thrown in. You will be playing the main male/female protagonist of the story. I might post more details as we track how everyone of you is doing and your feedback but we humbly hope that you would like whatever we did with it; discovering the many twists and turns of the storyline. What it’s all about? Well, go play and find out!

CLICK TO PLAY

If you check out our main menu, you will see the Met’Amour page added. For feedback or reporting problems with the game you might have during play, just comment below. Simple fact; this is flash-based so do update your flash player before starting the game. Some tips:

  • We have checked the cross-browser compatibility in Chrome, FF and IE. No other browsers were tested, let us know if you face any issues as we only did with FF Beta version, which disables arrow function.
  • Not every file loads in the beginning because we have cut this off in levels to save your bandwidth and load time. Let the love flow and load depending on your net connection. xD
  • Recommended Configuration:
    • Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OSX or Linux
    • Adobe Flash Player 9 or better
    • 1GHz Processor or better
    • 1Gb of RAM or better
  • As you can probably guess, I’m not revealing all the information here. There’s a lot to be discovered and what’s the fun if I give you all the tips right now? You are however free to share information and strategize among yourselves with rife discussion.

Metanorn has spun a new tale of aniblogging, you can say. Since I took over, my goal has always been increasing interaction between the authors and readers. The reason to introduce JustChat, comment system and more active twitter accounts was just the beginning. We would not go the forum-way ever, but there will be plenty of opportunity in the near future to simply have fun with us. So, look forward to it!

You can read detailed credit on the Met’Amour page or the first version below but I have to say this here again: We dedicate this game to ALL METANORN FOLLOWERS. Thank you for hanging out with us. Also, quickly, thanks to our beta testers, who are not included in the below credits:

  • Junko, Baka_girl, Bass, TSRL, Baku, Anaaga, Ness, EgoJCs21, etc.

You can move to credits now that scrolls up and down with your mouse pointer. Till next update, Ja ne~

    • Namika says:

      Flags, how can you be that mean … ?!

      TT^TT

      • Ruby says:

        Yeah inorite?! I kept failing at Flag’s part TWICE, he apparently doesn’t like FMA, I kept picking that option XD

        • Namika says:

          Not liking FMA is just INHUMAN!!
          Just you wait, real Flags !!! *-* I am going to pursue you, God’s Words!!!

          • Kyokai says:

            Thanks, Namika-chan~ <333

            I've tweaked Flags a bit so hopefully in an hour or two, he might become less difficult.

            Also, try Bakemonogatari next time. Remember, it was best anime for 2010. xD

          • Namika says:

            I knoooooooow~ ><"
            I just didn't get to it ….. but I will, I promise !!! ^^

  4. Namika says:

      • anaaga says:

        wow, you actually did it.

        i never get any of the good endings :p

        • Namika says:

          No..? I succeeded on my 2nd try. >.>
          :P:P:P:P
          which characters did you try??

          • Dan-go says:

            suceeded on my first for Miki and Kana, not sure about what else

            • Namika says:

              Try Akira, you’ll see a familiar name there 😀
              actually happy about that

      • Junko says:

        I can’t get Shinji for the love of me and I don’t want to try again because Flags is scary when you loose twice ;__;

        I’m a real pimp with the girls though….

        • Namika says:

          XD That’s interesting!!!!!
          And I’m proud I could get Shinji :3

          • Junko says:

            Seriously though. Have some sort of soft spot for Kana though, she’s so pretty~

            I won at the Shouta too (Hisoka) but shouta’s are kinda girls in a way arn’t they? XD

            • Namika says:

              O_O
              I think, if Ciel was real, he would kill you for that comment XD

        • Foshizzel says:

          LOL poor Flags to scary for the rest of us xD

          • Namika says:

            Poor FLAGS??? *_*
            Aren’t you a bit mistaken there??? 😀
            I swear, I was seriously freaked out when I failed with him 😀 Shinji wasn’t so scary, but Flags… I swear, I won’t be able to talk to him calmly in the nearest future ^^” not that we talk much >.>

            • Junko says:

              agree, I think I made some sort of suprised/terrified sound when everything went all….crazy DX I like my memory, Flags, please let me beee /cry

            • Namika says:

              Flags is a bad person.
              *sob*
              I am scared of him!! TT^TT

            • baka_girl says:

              So, I’m not the only one who was so scared when I faced Flags :p

            • Kyokai says:

              Lol, flags fix to be incorporated soon! xD

  5. MikADo says:

    Oh wow, that caught me totally off guard :3
    I’m gona finish this in a whim XD

  6. Amutofan123 says:

    You guys are amazing! 😮 You guys are just… AMAZING!

  7. Starry says:

    UWAHHH! I’M SPEECHLESS. O.O

    This is awesome! XD

    I’ve finished one route already and gotten Shinji’s good end. 😀 Took me two tries though. >.<

    Time to get the other guys! +w+

    Oh, and thanks for you hard work~! All of you must be effing happy right now. XD

  8. Teru says:

    First I was like omg, I have never had the chance to play a game like that but I have always wanted so Dream Come True… But I´m really bad at knowing facts about each of you, I have been following metanorn a few years but still I don´t know what Metanorn Really is and I´m so stupid I don´t even know how it´s possible to join and do a profile.

    So I have to say, this game is really awesome and the idea is cool, but it made me at the same time really sad. I´m holding my tears when I failed so harch, I really found myself to like one of them and then when he bacame so mad and everybody else even if I didn´t know what I had done wrong.
    So you can say I´m ready to burst in tears. The game idea is cool, but that Really hurt. First time I have the chance to play a game like it, it hurts me so bad I have a bad taste in my mouth and I try to hold my tears…

    I say, outch.. *tries not to cry* I´m sorry..

    • Foshizzel says:

      Dawww this has been lots of fun preparing and getting finished, took us quite a long time to get things up to speed.

      Thanks! I think the game came out really well too 😀

      -hug-

    • Overcooled says:

      I’m glad our game made your dream come true! I’ve always wanted to play a game like this too, actually. Metanorn isn’t something you really JOIN, you just comment around and explore, like you’re doing right now :3

      Oh, one of the characters was harsh? Probably Tayrin or Flags. ^^ Don’t worry, I got verbally abused too and felt the same. Some of the characters just have really harsh personalities. Aww, don’t be discouraged though. *patpat* You can always hunt around the site for info or maybe someone will make a strategy guide one day? XD Who knows?

    • Namika says:

      So, I hope, you learned from this!!!
      Lurking is baaaaaad *,*
      I’ve been here for more than a year and I never saw you O_O Don’t lurk anymore O.O Nee?? :3

    • Ruby says:

      I don’t think you can make a profile, you mean how to get a gravatar picture?, making a blog is a different matter xD

      It’s okay, don’t cry~ the characters can be mean if you don’t pass their test. You don’t need any knowledge at all, when your playing the game click on your partner and read all the info~ based on their personalities try to figure out what they like/hate. It’s really not hard, just keep trying 🙂

  9. Reaper says:

    When something is created by the team of Metanorn, what else can it be but sheer awesomeness?
    Just started playing but it’s well thought out, with allt he different dialogue and music, just like one officially made, though yours would have the upperhand because it’s Metanorn made: enough said 🙂
    Laughing at the little references slipped in, nice jobu~desu Metanorn!
    PS. Will this mean the start of competition against the Nasuverse? Metanorn vs Nasuverse? I don’t think my life could be anymore complete 🙂

    • Foshizzel says:

      So awesome I love all the music 😀 😀

    • Kyokai says:

      OMG…. Did you just compare us to… Nasuverse?! *spazzes in a corner*

      Thank you for all the compliments! It’s great to see people appreciating something that we worked so hard on. So, thanks a lot but how can we compare with the great Type-Moon?! It’s just a dream, I tell you. Just a dream! xD

  10. Captain says:

    I wouldn’t have completed anything without your help, Junko ; A ; You did a lot too!

  11. Captain says:

    Sneaking on after coming back to school to see this.
    INDESCRIBABLE FEELING, BBY.

    But I didn’t do much, seriously(I was so late in everything, hnng.) Props goes to Kyokai and everyone else for doing so much of the story boarding! And especially to Will who programmed the whole thing.

    ..*sob cries*

    • Foshizzel says:

      Amazing job to you captain on the drawings! And all of us working together to complete this epic project! 🙂

  12. Reaper says:

    Wait, wait, wait…my happy ending with Kyokai? SWEET! (Even if there was utter rejection by Samidare…*tear…) On to another route for crazy, wacky awesomeness!

  13. sassy says:

    The name “Metanorn” was actually

    Just kidding.

  14. Namika says:

    I just noticed, that this is the first dating/you get the type sim. I have ever played O_O

  15. BlackLagoon187 says:

    sfdlkahljkfdaslkfjsda
    I lose my internet for a couple of days and I come back to see this pleasant surprise xD

    • Kyokai says:

      Hahahaa! How dare you lose your interest, BL?! :3

      • BlackLagoon187 says:

        :O
        I would never lose interest but my ISP had problems and Internet was down for a couple of days 🙁

  16. Gunny says:

    Congratz @_@.

  17. Disco says:

    O: Soo cool seeing this makes me sad and excited. Sad because I am too lazy to try anything like this myself and Excited because OMG its one that is in english and doesn’t need to be rated R! ^_^ I am so happy that you guys made this

    • Disco says:

      u.u I got hated by Jiro and Flags seemed like he wanted me dead on the spots. Those profiles in the game didn’t help this poor soul. I am throwing in the towel and begging for a guide ;_; i tried 4 times and failed each

      • Overcooled says:

        I failed Jiro’s and Flag’s too…
        lol a fanmade guidebook to Metamour. Come on guys, do it!

      • Kyokai says:

        Hmmm, who wants to make a guide of this? We would actually welcome it. xD

  18. Junko says:

    So, when’s the anime coming out? XD

  19. Vivi says:

    HOLY BILL OF RIGHTS THIS IS AMAZING
    I can’t believe you guys made something like this!
    Seriously, I am blown away!!

    • Kyokai says:

      Hahahaa! I hope you enjoyed the heck out of it. We had the surprise element in mind. ^^

  20. Vivi says:

    Eeeeh~~ Kyo is my mom!? How cute —!! XD

    • Namika says:

      Kyokai as your O’kaa-sama is like the most epic thing ever!!!! XD

      • Vivi says:

        For real! I was expecting Flags to be my dad but when I asked he just insulted me.

        The characters are so in-character…. “orz

        • Kyokai says:

          @Namika, deshou~

          @Vivi, give the scripters applause for keeping everyone in-character. Was quite hard to be rude. ^^
