/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I never did the bad end for Tsuriotsu. Should I go back and read it before going for the sequel?

>>11273256
It's really short and otome riron goes over it in the beginning, I wouldn't say it's necessary to.

Wow, did Nishimata actually get past the same face syndrome?

>>11273260
Alright, thanks. Saves me the trouble of reinstalling it

>>11273262
Different artist. Please identify the characters drawn by Nishimata.

>>11273263
You should for the after stories, they need the first game to work.

how many visual novels are there? hundreds?

>>11273268
millions

Quartett! gave me nice feelings.
I like it.

>>11273270
6 quadrillion you filthy revisionist
It's like another shoah

>>11273270
>>11273273
no way there couldnt be literally millions

>>11273268
vndb has 12000 entries and that's nowhere near exhaustive

Finished Totono, I will now express my opinion in numbers.
Story: meh/10
Art: no more penises the length of arms/10
Writing zzz/10
Concept: interesting but ultimately led to not much, I don't get what the ending was trying to tell me that we should care a bit more about heroines and not resort to maximizing entertainment out of a game by enjoying other routes? Maybe it means that heroines are real people that you should try to respect them more as someone you like. Maybe it means that I am a fag for wanting to 100% it to try and see more ends or that I am a fag for playing eroge in the first place. Maybe it went over my head or under it./10
Ero: good, except that last Miyuki scene felt forced/10
Voice Acting: Not bad, Yutarou was great and Haru was pretty nice as well/10
Series of Scenes Between Part 2 to Part 3: Best part of the game by a massive margin/10
Heroines: Too one sided in development and screen time/10
Protagonist: Bitch Nigga/10
Overall: mildly enjoyed it/10

>>11273284
It's just telling you to treat heroines as real people and not something to be cleared. At least some respect for them instead of 'oh I just cleared X, now to Y!'.

>>11273293
That's a little retarded. When I play games I sometimes can't play more than one route because I like the 1 heroine too much. Tons of games have only 1 or 2 worthwhile heroines anyways.. I have really cared about clearing, I care about enjoying the ride. I guess some people have other opinions, like those with OCD.

>>11273228
Where is that girl from?

>>11273316
Try with the filename.

>>11273303
>I sometimes can't play more than one route because I like the 1 heroine too much
Same case with me, I literally stop myself from doing it.

Totono tried to force feelings of guilt on the player, but it doesn't work like that. It's only effective when the player develops it by himself, which is especially true in this case since we are talking about a type of game created so that the player gets immersed in a romance with a character. I find it ironic because the average moege is capable of doing this by itself without any need for a gimmick.

>>11273327
Totono suffered by how short it was and how little it went into the renai part. They banked too much on the meta aspect and the yandere shock, they should have never released all that info that made none of that surprising. I felt for the first half they writer wasn't even trying. The filler dialogue and the lack of actual development hurt it as well.

>I find it ironic because the average moege
There's that as well, liking a heroine has to be organic. The player gets attached by himself which is hard when one heroine takes up 80% of the game. I believe that the game could have worked better with the concept if the renai was good enough to stand on its own.

Let's say I just finished all of the VNs I've been reading over the past few weeks, and now I'm looking for something new. What does /jp/ recommend?

>>11273345
Without knowing your tastes, hard to tell.

>>11273345
Jap or English?

What do you like? There are plenty of game so it is quite hard to pinpoint what you want with such little info you're giving.

>>11273345
vndb.org/v1292
I don't even have to look up the URL anymore.

>>11273265
Oh. I guess not.

>>11273350
English, and though I've tried learning moonrunes, it hadn't been going well. My tastes are everywhere, but recently I've been reading Majikoi and Grisaia.

>>11273364
I suggest whatever your translator overlords deign to bestow upon the peasants next.

Any recommendations for VNs with delinquent heroines?

About damn time he said that. Also I hate the fact that it takes me an hour to finish a one h-scene.

>>11273398
Why is she halfway buried in the sand?

>>11273400
>「ペットでいい。ワタシ、センセのペットでいる方がいい……」
What the fuck man.

>>11273364
When I was a filthy unwashed peasant I liked Symphonic Rain, Inganock, and Sharin no Kuni among the translated VNs. To be honest /vg/'s VN thread has tons more info than what you can get here, most people here don't really keep up with the translated scene.

>>11273411
Why do you have to be so fucking condescending? I'm asking here, not going to the shitfest they call /vg/.

>>11273428
Protip: They have decent info even if the thread is /a/-lite. I meant more to read the copypaste links in the OP.

I am trying to help man, I don't mind discussion of translated VNs being discussed here.

>Amairo Islenauts still hasn't arrived at the proxy service I used yet
Getchu pls

>>11273443
Was faster to pirate. It can't be helped.

>>11273443
Pirate and while you wait, no reason not to.

>>11273228
How is she so beautiful.

>>11273491
Swiss perfection, they just make them good and humble.

just started tsuriotsu. what routes should I play?

>>11273500
Luna, Ursule and the bad end. Avoid the other two like the plague.

>>11273497
Ursule is a lot of things but humble is not one of them.

>>11273519
She's humble when she needs to, which is mostly in a personal level.
Obviously she prides herself in her lineage and country, but will always acknowledge that other people are better than her, in that regard, she's humble.

>>11273530
I'll accept that reasoning, though I would've just described that as honest.

I guess I will be a girl this month

>>11273544
I can't really call that honesty as she always puts up that front of prideful ojousama in front of people and only opens up to her close people, but you have a point there.
At least she fixed most of her problems during her part in the sequel, made me happy even if her dress still lost to a fucking cupcake.

>>11273550
looks kinda cool

>>11273550
You should have already been a girl for this month. But yeah, female perspective is cool in more serious games.

>>11273550
I've been looking forward to that. MC is hot.

>>11273557
>even if her dress still lost to a fucking cupcake
Hah, that's what I called it too. Looking forward to seeing her again in Riron when I clear some more of this backlog.

I just finished my first visual novel, Planetarian. I enjoyed it.

I already said this but I wanted to say it again.

>>11273398
Is this translated?

>>11273768
Yes, it's been up on Fuwanovel for months.

>>11273265
Is there a link for that game?

昔、キモオタ童貞だった俺が金を手に入れたら、アイドルのコーマンに入れることができた！

>>11273786
それで？

>>11273800
I'm pretty sure he meant that it's what he is playing/looking forward to/has just just finished.

How does Lovely Cation compare to Lovely Cation 2? I enjoyed the latter a lot, especially the H-scenes.

Just downloaded Little Busters EX.

Don't really know what to expect.

>>11273987
A decent common route, awful character routes, and a great true route. And horrible porn.

>>11274012
>awful character routes
Saya's route is as good as the true route.

>>11274113
Well, alright, hers was good (even if the gameplay got pretty annoying after a while), but the rest
were terrible.

>>11273398
agreed,absolutely AGREED.im also at the same part with masaki route,and their first h-scene was seriously too long i got bored of it.if other h-scenes also like this im gonna have a bad time.but except this im enjoying her route,her reactions with wafu wafu is pretty cute.

>>11274257
That is one long ass sentence.

>>11273933
I liked the first one more honestly.
Granted, a lot of that has to do with the voice cast and character design preferences, but I felt that due to the presence of minor drama in the routes themselves, it made it feel more rewarding compared to 2.

>>11274257
>,and their first h-scene was seriously too long i got bored of it.

There are H scenes that *aren't* too long?

>>11274403
I've said it before, Sakurai writes the best H scenes in the business. Not too long, not grossly transparent attempts to help nerds whack off. Plot or character relevant. Usually fairly hot regardless

>>11274406
That's not Mareni.

>>11274403
I think older eroge (i.e. stuffs before 2006-07) tend to have shorter H-scenes and more to the point.
Elf's H-scenes are pretty funny and sometimes contain plot as well.

>>11274466
Some h scenes in older eroge are literally a couple lines of dialogue.

>>11274403
Yeah, there are tons of them. Always sucks when you just started enjoying it and BAM back to plot before you could reach conclusion. I hate it when mah eroges force me to supplement them with outside experience.

>>11274466
>and sometimes contain plot as well

I always think of h-anime

>Ahh ahh to activate the doomsday device you AHHH AHHH AHHH KIMOCHI get the disk and IKUUUUUUUUUUUUUU insert it on the slot.

>>11273699
Here's my response 4 u

>>11274403
well most of new games's h-scenes are long for sure,i agree about it but this one even longer than those,as the other guy it took almost 1 hour to finish one.

>>11274705
Is there a point to read a moege H-scenes?
I can understand reading H-scenes if you want to fap or if the scenes are important, but for moege like Amairo it's just redundant since you already saw the ichaicha stuffs doing the heroines' normal interaction.
I always skip through these scenes like no tomorrow.

Am I the only person who downloads the OST after every VN I read, and then listen to it for the following week to digest the VN?

started A Drug That Makes You Dream

got about 3 or 4 hours in, and the mc is a little too cocky for my liking, or maybe the person who translated it, is a cunt

>>11274403
Very rarely in contemporary eroge. Older ones seemed better at keeping things short and simple.

>>11274406
>not grossly transparent attempts to help nerds whack off
Yes, I love ero scenes that don't do what they're supposed to do.

>>11275009
Most likely.

>>11273497
>>11273491

She's not. She has piss colored hair, and your tastes are bad.

>>11275009
I do that, usually downloading OSTs beforehand for VNs I'm not even reading yet in fear of links dying. I don't listen to any of them before actually playing through the games first as I feel it lessens the actual impact of the scenes they're used in if I've heard them once before.

But yeah, listening to same tracks again helps reliving through memorable parts of a game.

>>11275089
You should drink more water.

>>11275163
I'll have you know that I drink 5 bottles of water a day and my urine is still dark yellow/orange.

>>11274754
I don't know why, but I just can't fap to moege H-scenes since I don't find them arousing. It's not even that I have extreme fetishes or anything, but they're just plain as fuck.
I think the last time I got close to fapping was Saori's route in Nakahito. And that was mainly because of delicious Tohno Soyogi. I'm convinced she can make any scene erotic.

>>11275754
Her voice puts me to sleep in the good sense of the word. It's so harmonious and melodic.

>>11275754
I can fap to my top favorite ones, but not on the first time I see it. This really doesn't make any logical sense, but it feels "wrong" since they are usually intended to be not only arousing but also cute and romantic and I don't want to ruin the latter by making it simple wank material. After I complete the character's route it's free game, though. If I had to put it in another way, it would be kinda like trying out something for the first time and the following times being only repeats. I probably think way too hard about this, but I like taking my moege very seriously.

And yeah, Tohno Soyogi's voice does miracles. On the subject of fetishes, I'm a very vanilla guy and my personal favorite would be happy vanilla impregnation, so Ruria's after story in Koiiro Marriage does wonders for me as she asks you to impregnate her and calls you Papa. It never fails to get me aroused.

Are they actually planning on making an Ayakashibito 2, or is it just some little omake thingy to get people to buy Proplellers new game?

>>11275925
It's probably a "let's generate hype and if it's enough we might think about actually going through it" thing. It looks like it's a continuation/expanded story from Hounan bad end from the psp port.

>>11275925
Higashide said he wrote about one light novel worth of text for it and implied that it's not something he did recently. I don't think there is any plan to make a game of it for now.

Only the prologue is getting released as an extra for now so who knows what they plan to do with the rest.

>>11276056
What? Of course the game is coming out just read the banner you posted
The prologue is the light novel worth he was talking about

>>11276110
I doubt they're going to stuff a whole light novel in pdf format, it'll probably be some 20 pages or something. There's nothing on that banner that confirms production or anything, just that "Ayakashibito 2" tag slapped on there on the iden story which is probably what the other guy was talking about

>>11276129
>続編にあたるあやかしびと２の序盤部分

>>11276110

Was this always part of the rules? I remember some big stink on /a/ a couple of days ago where a mod publicly banned grisaia threads from /a/

>>11276209
The rules change every day (thanks, /q/!). That's probably why no one cares about them.

>>11276209
I think it was included because people only talk about LNs that have anime adaptations and those go in /a/ anyway, so people complained and got a bit altered.

>>11276218
I actually want to get into LNs but I don't know whats good I am not going to /a/ under any circumstances.


In other news I started playing this again after quiting on the first day of reading, the payoff better be good because with the exception of Korone I have not been having a good time. Nodaka is overwhelming and Inori (childhood friend) is so brooding there hasn't been a scene that she has been in that she has been pleasant in. Korone is imouto of the year though.

Been reading sekajyo and how I wish Ako's uniform was the actual uniform of the game, Yumeko's combination of red hair and that makes my eyes bleed.
Thank god Nishimata improved her hairdos by tsuriotsu, I don't even know what she was thinking in this game.

>>11276305
You can tell the game was extremely rushed in the graphical department, some cgs are just why

I'm playing Rewrite but the early bad end because I tried going for best girl first aka Akane

>>11276329
Best girl always last anon, didn't you learn that after reading so many Vns?

Reporting back with 俺と彼女がミステリーな件について: I just finished Ayame's route, which was kind of shit, and am about to start Miyako's now, just because she's adorable. I have no interest in the other characters, so I will probably end there. I mean this game doesn't have a story, so I don't see any point in playing the girls I don't like.

The setting seemed pretty sweet at first. It's a small town so you'd expect a Sinsemilla-like atmosphere. But it's nothing like that. I didn't enjoy it at all.

The game has, as somebody mentioned in the last thread, a very short common route and after that you just choose which girl's route you want to play by clicking her on the screen. Since this game doesn't have a common story I don't really see any problem in that. Though, that might be a problem in itself, that there is no real story.

Now that I've typed out my feelings regarding this game I don't think I want to play this anymore. It's shit. But it is beautiful.

By the way: this is perfect first Japanese eroge in terms of language.

>>11276337
So what's with the ミステリーな件 in the title?

>>11276345
They have a mystery circle. But they don't really do anything together. They're all aspie about their own thing. Miyako likes UFO for instance.

>>11276349
Oh, and I guess the resolution to each route is a bit mysterious. Ayame's was pretty spooky.

>>11276155
>MC isn't Soushichi
Fuck this shit.

I felt like I needed something to cheer me up so I decided to continue Sanarara this morning and read through the third story and Mieno's side story. It didn't really work and wasn't nearly as light hearted as the previous ones.
I think the third story was actually quite a bit better than the first two except for the art. I'll probably start on the next one this weekend or something. Hopefully it'll stay this good through the rest of the stories. Overall, this game is much better than I expected it to be when I first downloaded it.

>>11276558
He might still appear. I'm actually a sucker for that kind of stuff, where the protag of the prequel reappears as a real hardass.

Tell me your secrets, ass.

>>11276913
>>11277028
Epic tweets. Simply epic.

>>11276333
I always do my favorite heroine's route first and then quit the game more often than not. Reading every route, ain't nobody got time for that.

Just finished Evolimit.

I have to say, I find it annoying when a certain heroine's path is considered the true one. I feel it's an insult to the rest of the heroines. It was especially true for me this time, because I found Shizuku's incessant tsukkoming to be offensively, horribly tiring, to the point that I couldn't like her anymore when I got to her route. The writing was indeed better, as an anon warned me before I started, but I didn't enjoy it as much. Kokoro ;_; Monkeys ;_;

On the other hand, I found Litia's story to be far more engrossing, and Litia herself very, very cute. The things she had to face, and her growth as a character, touched me. When, after her ending, the main menu screen showed her in her wedding dress with that music, finally happy, I couldn't stop grinning. It was so heartwarming, and I truly felt she deserved it. That's the true ending, in my mind.

The side characters were great, too. Pochi, ドS shota and Yayoi (I was pleasantly surprised she got an H-scene) mostly, but the others were likable too.

Also, the ED was hauntingly beautiful.

Also, powerlevels.

Traps are pretty amazing.

>>11277651
Before I read this I have to read Yome Juu

The Tsujidou-san fandisc is this month right? I think that is about the only thing I am looking forward to.

I'm kind of interested in that PS3 Oreimo VN which is out next month I think, but I can't really afford it.

I'm looking for a VN to play on the go, is anything besides Dangan Ronpa translated on the PSP?

>>11276913
What game is that?

>>11277866
http://vndb.org/v12167

>>11277885
Wow, thanks.
Drawing the character into google translate got me something along the lines of "Color heaven".

>>11277977
You know you can search vndb using the japanese title.

I need some VN logos for inspiration. I'm really stuck for ideas. What VN logos does /jp/ like?

I just finished Introductory Chapter. I can tell this is going to be very bad for my tear ducts.

>>11278051
Hard to search for the name when you're taking it from an image.

>>11278173
>Hard to search
2 basic kanji and katakana are hard to search?

Maybe the >>>/vg/ VN thread is more suited for you.

>>11278173
If you can't even read the title, what's the point of knowing what the game is?

>>11278173
Sure, but the fact that you got "color heaven" from google translate means you apparently had the characters somehow.

>>11278182
So he can ask if it's being translated in the VNTS thread.

http://groupees.com/doujin
This has a two VNs in it, Cafe 0: The Drowned Mermaid, and Yousei.
Are either of them worth getting?
Has anyone gotten this stuff?

There's an option for drawing characters into google translate.

>>11278144

The end of IC was the most emotional part of the whole series for me.

Can anyone here list some anniversary works from well-known companies like Grisaia from Frontwing and Sumaga/Muramasa from Nitro+?

I've just became kind of interested because it looks like they always try to put a lot of work in these ones.

>>11278510
implying the beginning of coda is not the most f'ed up part

Does anyone play VNs on CRT monitors? Do you adjust the resolution to fit the native resolution of that VN or do you just let it scale?
I just got my hands on a FW900 and playing VNs at their native resolutions like 800x600 seems to make them look nicer.

>>11278696
stretch the FUCK out of those cgs

>>11278696
Low resolution, 4:3 material is always best on a CRT monitor/TV because the image doesn't get scaled, but the pixels get "resized" so it will always look native. But newer VNs are mostly 16:9 and 720p so you'll get better results on an LCD.

>>11278709
Yeah, I'm playing Baldr Sky at 800x600 and it looks pretty. The scan lines and general CRT-ness really helps bring about an arcade-y feel for the battle sequences.

It's also 16:10, so newer games should be fine too. The resolution goes up to 2304x1440.

>>11278715
Googled it up and it sounds like a pretty nice monitor. Makes me wonder if they're still superior to LCDs. Kind of how vinyl records are technically superior to CDs. CRTs hurt my eyes for some reason though.

>>11278736
Yep.
The FW900 is superior to most LCDs with the exception of a handful of ridiculously expensive ones.

>>11278736
>Kind of how vinyl records are technically superior to CDs
You mean, like, how they actually aren't?

>>11278759
Vinyl records are analog thus a "perfect" recording. Digital music is just audio sampled at a regular rate and at a limited precision.

>>11278783
You don't actually understand how digital audio works.

>>11278783
>analog thus "perfect"
No. It's still limited by the technology, both in the playing and recording device. You don't think the needle moves up and down infinitely fast do you?

Anyway, a lot of people do think Vinyl sounds better, but a lot of people think distortion makes guitar sound better and think that mp3s sound better than FLAC, so that doesn't necessarily mean that it is higher quality.

>>11278792
Isn't he right? I don't know much about audio, but I always thought digital audio was limited by sample rate and precision.
Similar deal with digital video versus real film.

>>11278792
How so?

>>11278793
>>11278797
I don't really feel like giving /jp/ a math lesson, so look up Fourier transforms on Wikipedia. Audio CDs allow for perfect reproduction of audio signals with frequency components up to 22 kHz with a dynamic range of 96 dB. You don't actually lose any information by it being "digital" instead of "analog".

>>11276337

Downloadedします。

Guys is there any site where can i download full openings of vns? i'd like to download some ops like 中の人などいない or Astraythem but i have no idea where i can find them.

>>11278843
They usually come with the OST of the game or a quick search for the artist/title usually gives results.

Can someone help me identify an eroge.

All I remember is that the protagonist is a fighter pilot that got shot down in an enemy country. He decided to start a new life in it.

It's an old game, circa 2005 and before.

I think he also end up living in a mansion with a loli. (I'm not sure about this, I might mixed it up with another game).

>>11278845
Please ignore the last sentence, that was a different game:
http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=43323

>>11278844
thank you very much,have to download ost then.

>>11278845
Gunjou no Sora wo Koete?

>>11278859
No, it's not modern day, it was WW1 era tech propeller planes.

>>11278876
Gun knight girl?

>>11279030
i dont think so,he said its an old game.

>>11278696
Yeah. I've been using cheap 17" throwaways for a while now. Always native, regardless.
Just recently got an EZIO FlexScan F980, and it works wonders. Technically reaches higher resolutions than the FW900 due to its 137kHz limit, but it's nowhere near as clear. And it starts distorting past 1200 high due to simple age.
It's more of a gaming monitor than a graphic one, and you can tell from the flicker at 60Hz, which makes motion nothing short of beautiful.

I really wish digital technologies would surpass these things though. They seem so fragile and old.
Currently you're stuck with shit motion but great colors and viewing angles, or vice versa with 120Hz hacks for 60Hz motion. With shit black levels, scaling, and input delay regardless.
>>11278736
Well, they often hurt people's eyes out of sheer brightness, 60Hz flicker, or just simply how they work. Some of them make sounds that give me headaches.
But it's strange and by person. I can't stand staring at most LCDs for longer than an hour or two tops. Especially CIFL backlights or whatever. They give me serious headaches.
>>11278709
Depends on the LCD, if you prefer size over benefits, and the various aspects of the VN.
I still output 16:9 on 4:3. Since my LCD is 2560x, and nothing VN-wise is that resolution, scaling becomes an issue. And it's just not worth it.

>>11278843

Astraythem OP was really nice. Chuablesoft are skilled at choosing OP songs for games overall.

So, anons, I'm having some trouble playing a VN. Perhaps someone on here could help me out. I've been working on this for a couple of days and have made little progress.

I have a virtualbox machine running Windows 7 64-bit in which I installed my VNs. They all work fine except for Demonbane. When I load the game up, I get sound but the image displayed is pic related. If I minimize the game and bring it back up, I the screen displays but only a single frame. It doesn't refresh. Meanwhile, the preview on the VB Manager shows the game running just fine.

I tried messing with the settings for the machine including installing Guest Additions with basic 3D support, with the experimental 3D support, and without 3D support at all. I get the same results.

I know there is a way to get the game to run because I somehow achieved it a few years ago but it was on a laptop that I've already wiped and for some reason, I didn't document my settings.

So, does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help.

(Ignore all those VMs. Most of them were to check if cracks work or to run keygens and stuff like that without worrying about installing spyware and whatnot on my main PC.)

>>11275940
I wonder if they ever decide to do an ayakashibito 2 they'll port the ps2/psp release to pc. Would be neat to build hype or something and bigger resolutions are always appreciated.

>>11279583
VNs in general tend to have trouble with hardware acceleration regardless. Why not just run it natively, since you're already using Win7?

>>11279609
Well, I like the idea of the portability of a virtual machine. Besides, the fact that I got it to work once but I can't get it to work again really bugs me. I don't know. I may have to do that but if I can avoid that, it would be great.

>>11279635
They tend to be hit and miss between different hardware anyways, especially for hardware acceleration since that can't be virtualized consistently, so they're not very portable in that sense.
I'd just run the shit normally to be honest.

>>11279654
I guess there is no choice. Everything else gives me no problems whatsoever. Demonbane just has to be difficult.

Well, thanks for your help.

>>11279681
I helped nothing. But the VM seems to think it's running at 97% CPU, so that might be the issue. Throw more juice at it or some shit if you want to continue testing it.

>>11279696
No, the Rainmeter's display is actually inverted. It shows how much memory it has free, not how much is being used. The creator thought it would look cooler that way not kidding.

>>11279732
Normally they have the inverted and non-inverted.

>>11279840
It should be pretty simple to switch it around from the config file but its supposed to emulate the GUI from Gundam 00 so it makes sense for it to be near 100% most of the time.

>>11279855
Whenever I see 100%, I think I'm maxing my CPU. Personally, I use the Metro X Rainmeter that has those Win8 circles to show RAM and CPU.

>>11279902
I don't use Rainmeter outside of that Virtual Machine, honestly speaking. I don't really do much on my PC that takes up so much processor power such that I need to keep track of my specific percentage. I only installed that one because of the Gundam 00 relation.

>>11279962
please dont go off topic anymore,this thread is for visual novels.

It's funny because Arc is black.

Any idea on how to properly hook Biniku no Kaori or Maro no Kanja wa Gatenkei or any of Elf's later titles?
I have been looking for one of those "H-codes" but to no avail.

JDIC and the Parser really helps a lot.

I just finished watching the White Album anime. I liked it.

Now I want to play the visual novel. If I can find it... or even install it when I do.

>>11280580
You want the PS3 version

>>11280558
Universal solution for all Elf games:
1. Open AI6Win.ini (or AI5Win.ini for older games) in game folder.
2. Find this section:
[Font]
Type = 1
3. Change 1 into 0. Agth should hook the text properly now, but the font will look a lot worse.


Here are some custom h-codes I made for Maro no Kanja wa Gatenkei:
麻呂の患者はガテン系: /HB8@43092D
麻呂の患者はガテン系2: /HB8@43095D

These two should work even without fucking up the font rendering.

Oh, that's neat. You made my day anon.

Is Minato route in TsuriOtsu good? Or at least better than Mizuho's?
I like Minato as a character, but the writer not being the guy that wrote Luna's route is a bit on the ehh side.

>>11281797
No. It was so bad that it actually made me like her character less despite her being exactly my type of girl.

Ursule's is spectacular though, her deredere is painfully potent.

>>11281862
I'm not really surprised.

>>11278529
Anyone, please? I don't think that there are a lot of such work considering that there aren't a lot of well-known companies.

>>11281917
The only one I can think of is ウィッチズガーデン for ういんどみる's 10th anniversary.

>>11281980
yeah that one was pretty good, specially the art. Certainly has best e-mote in entire vn history, and even story wasnt bad so its pretty worth of trying.

「BALDRSKYZERO」アクションダイジェストムービー②
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Y3juRuJLw
(System page was also redone http://products.web-giga.com/bsz/system.html))

>>11282215
The Senshinkan PV moved me to the point of getting my eyes wet, renaissance Yamada being chuuni is always good, and the ZERO action movie got me fired up as much as Baldr Sky never failed to.

Some promising shit everywhere.

>>11282215
When a japanese says START instead of STAAATO it just sounds creepy.

>>11282306
So much chuuni, so little time.

>>11282215
They won't delay Zero anymore, right? I want to play it already.

>>11282325
they aren't even getting released on the same month, plenty of time for all of them

Well shit.

Well shit.

>>11282495
You fucked m8.

>>11282495
no you didn't do anything wrong, she's just talking shit.

>>11282567
Technically, she's right you know.

>>11282495
It happens, just go with it.

While we're talking about chuuni, I finally got my copy of Xblaze. Doesn't feel like anything outstanding so far, but I have to admit that their production values are good. It really does feel like watching anime, since there is very little narration, making it very simple for those with little reading experience (though they do use kanji where most people don't - as expected of a chuuni title). It really feels similar to Axanael in that aspect, though I liked the latter's aesthetics better.

It also feels like the Vita version wasn't ported that well from PS3 in some aspects: the CGs are always zoomed in, and the OP movie had some artifacts. Nothing major, though.

>>11283068
I guess I should buy a vita, with this and sen no kiseki being released next month

So I just started plazing OTA-MA!
You know you're playing a good game when they have options like this one.

>>11283115
Wat does the orange one mean?

>>11283137
固定しない, "Don't fix". It'll ask each time if you choose this, I guess.

>>11283137
i guess that means you get to choose 中出し or 外出し when the time comes

>>11283115
It has for mouth too, right?

>>11283137
By the way, I chose 中出し. Why the fuck would you ever want anything else?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Z_aIUGaZWgU
So glad to see 大崎シンヤ working on something with plot instead of another nukige.

>>11283149
Cumming in hair is my fetish.

>>11283140
Or whatever the writer decided on per scene. That's possible.

And dropped. I like the characters and the comedy but the routes are just getting on my nerves. Every fucking time some goddamn retarded Yumeko-drama, she's hampering how my enjoyment of this game by being always there.
I liked Sakurako, her drama with Yumeko was fine but they keep shoehorning how much Yumeko loves Yukito everywhere and you just know it's ending with a tantrum, and I can't take it anymore because it's annoying as fuck.
The routes themselves would be a lot better if Yumeko was rejected on Christmas Eve and let you enjoy the heroine instead. Not to mention every route must have a Yumeko pity-dating side end. It's my third route and I just can't like them for this reason.
Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea, damn.

>>11283181
Maybe it's just me, but every time I see a woman with a -ko name I get the impression that her parents didn't care too much.

>>11283210
Every girl save for one in the game ends with -ko. Yumeko, Ako, Sakurako, Tsukakiko and Nako are the heroines.

>>11283210
Better have a boring name than getting bullied because your parents were fucking retards.

>>11283230
Even better to have a decent name. There's plenty of options that don't make people want to look for your serial number.

>>11283225
Author's fetish?

>>11283320
But names ended with -ko and -mi are cute and feminine, you faggot.

I'll bet you'll name your son Marion.

Finished KKK.
First playthrough is absolutely great but forcing players to start from the beginning and skip everything save for few short character specific scenes until the epilogues really kills the pacing. I think it would have worked much better if they just made the whole game a one long route with no branching choices.

The actual "true route" / final battle were also a bit lackluster and in my opinion Hajun was a really shitty and uninteresting main antagonist. The game's pretty heavy handed with it's "other people = extremely good thing vs. alone = shittier than the lowest hell" moral of the story and it all comes out as really black and white, especially when the same aesop is repeated every single battle scene.

Overall still a rather good read even if it didn't manage to get me as pumped up as Dies Irae did. Waiting warmly for Senshinkan.

>>11283342
I never said anything about -mi names, they're fine. -ko names are the ones that make you sound like you came out of a factory's conveyor belt. And accusing someone who disagrees with one extreme of being guilty of the opposite extreme is...silly.

finished tsuriotsu, going to play otome riron next.
what routes should I play?

>>11283384
Meryl and Risona, maybe.

>>11283449
Meryl is the maybe.

Finished a second route in 天色＊アイルノーツ. Now I've finished both blonde's and red's route. Can't say I feel like play much more, the other characters seem boring. Will I miss out on anything interesting? Considering it's yuzusoft I very much doubt it, but just in case.

>>11283464
It's a moege. You should have a pretty good idea of what to expect. If the heroines don't appeal to you there's no reason to bother.

I've only played Yune's route so far. It was pretty cute and I enjoyed it, and some of the scenes had my HNNNG meter pegged. Unfortunately, the drama is the exact type I hate, but fortunately it plays a very small part. I like the characters in this game so I'll probably do the other routes in between other games like I usually do with moege.

>>11282776 here
The real plot started, just another time loop game. Cool so far though. What I don't like is this: You know how most games have 10-20 choices and about 120 save slots? This game has 100~ choices and 30 save slots.

>>11283349
How long did it take?

>>11283635
Didn't really count hours but it's definitely much shorter than Dies Irae. As I said you only play through the main story once, then skip through most of it on next playthroughs and read the 3 remaining relatively short pairing chapters before getting the true ending which consists of only one battle scene and credits.

>>11283349
Really, I personally don't like the ending because this is supposed to be a Marie route after story -___- and what I got was a Rea End. Nice going Masada.

Holy shit, that cockblock.
>>11283464
I'm going to play Yune's route next after Shirley's, and I might stop to that point since I don't feel like playing Airi, Tear, and Konoka's route. Scenario executions seem getting old.

So how's this one? The art is rather good for a fantasy action setting.

>>11283784
best title of the month with otome,and pretty good in general.its not masterpiece,but worth of playing for sure.

>>11283813
Will do, thanks.

I just read planetarian. I was late to the party. I cried like a little girl. I didn't like kinetic novels but now I'm thinking I was wrong to avoid them.

Do you guys who read the new releases all know moon, or do you use shitty machine translations?

I've tried with a machine translator and it was just terrible.

>>11283868
This isn't Hongfire.

>>11283868
We look at the pictures and make up our own stories.

>>11283868
of course we know moon,i couldnt even play with bad english translations so i learned moon,i 'd kill myself instead of playing that shitty machine translations.

>>11283868
I turn the screen upisde down. I taught myself Japanese in a weird way.

>>11283868
I wonder why this question gets asked so much. Japanese really isn't that hard to learn.

>>11283899
How long did it take you before you could get anywhere?

I can barley read kodomo manga.

>>11283878
Still can't believe I've been doing this shit for years

>>11283917
after 1.5 - 2 years i could play moeges, but i knew most of words's meaning from my 5-6 years anime - vn experiences.still since im a slow learner i guess it would take same with me, 1.5 - 2 year.

>>11283920
When you make a choice do you do eenie meenie miney moe?

>>11283937
I choose the one that has the coolest looking symbols in it.

>>11283917
15 years at my local Zen temple, perfecting my craft.

>>11283937
I just pick the longest because bigger is better.

I like games where the protagonist has good taste.

>>11283878
Alright, try to guess what is happening here.

>>11283971
ゲームの源を教えてください。

>>11283985
They want to know if I'm interested in having a three way.

I accept.

>>11283920
I can't even do that with untranslated doujins, but doing that for 30 hours? yeesh.

>>11283985
She wonders if somebody (me? the girls?) have plans for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

>>11284004
Sounds pretty boring. You must not enjoy your eroge very much if that's the best story you can come up with.

>>11282776
Could you please tell me where these CGs are from?

>>11284550
http://vndb.org/v12473

Do you guys have a VN recommendation thread?

Sorry, I'll fuck off after this, I just wanna get into some more of these after I finish Grisaia.

Also I am a huge faggot please rape my face.

>>11284671
Go to VNDB and sort by rating, disregarding anything originally written in English. EGS is even better, but it's kind of annoying because they tend to block non-Japanese IP addresses.

はぴねす！ getting released again but this time with the E-mote system that was used in ウィッチズガーデン.

>>11285114
Seems that it also comes with the fandisk content? Maybe it's a good time to play Happiness when it's re-released again.

http://youtu.be/r5Y3juRuJLw

Somehow, they keep managing to make the battle system in bsz look worse and worse. I do like the font choice a little more than the original games though.

>>11284009
No possessive heroine?

>>11285114
Cool. I'd been planning on playing it anyway.

Hey /jp/ how do I make my .gif's not shit?

>>11284832
This, but also make sure you check the page and it isn't a sequel.
>>11284550
Those are just normal screenshots with sprites. CG implies it's one of the touched up full window drawings.

>>11285188
go for bigger (aim for 3 mb)

scale down the frames BEFORE switching them to .gif to reduce artefacts.

AGTH/ITH code for this?
待雪の花 ～snow drop～

>>11285345

Thank you.

>>11285114
Good thing I have it backlogged

>>11285353
Just use ITH. I've used like 20 VNs with ITH and have never needed a code.

I haven't played it but apparently ハピメア is getting a fandisc.

>>11285114
i will play it just for that e-mote,that was pretty godlike.

>>11285706
Maya better get a longer route this time.

>>11285706
>>11285750
IIRC Maya dominated the character poll so it makes sense

Can somebody tell me what a fandisc is? Is it something that you install onto the original game to get new routes and new scenes and stuff?

「欲しいならあげよっか？」

How would this line be translated? Fuck it's 1:37 I need to sleep. anyway this has left me quite confused.

Any help would be appreciated.

>>11285854
The pleasure of being cummed inside.

>>11285854
if you want it I can just give it to you.

if i'm not mistaken

>>11285854
First, why are you asking us for translation help? This thread is about VNs. Doesn't /a/ have a Japanese learning thread you could ask? Sometimes /jp/ even has one. Second, if you're stuck on such a simple sentence, why are you attempting to translate anything anyway?

>>11285859
Please stop.

>>11285864
Just to piss you off.

>>11285864
Damn so tsundere...but I like it.

>>11285933
Can you even be tsundere if there's no dere?

>>11285943
Well you just have to talk more to me.. and show me your dere part.

ANYTHING ALICESOFT. GUYS PLEASE TRANSLATE THEM. PLEASE.

>>11286061
I will translate them into Latin, just for you.

>>11286061
All of the AliceSoft stuff that is worth translating will eventually be translated by the 2 or 3 translators that are part of the circle-jerk in the AliceSoft general thread on /vg/, so calm down.

seriously tho.. why are people only translating 4-6.
need rance quest.
need daiteikoku.
also im new here can anyone explain why the companies themselves dont translate and sell them in the US?

rance 4-6*

>>11286120

>>11286125
>11286125
you're calling me a gaijin or recommending a game called gaijin

>>11286129
both

>>11286120
Daiteikoku is shit. You don't want to play that trust me.

im still playing kamidori
btw why are you guys sage-ing? (didn't post for the past few days because i got banned...)

>>11286174
but I checked out the CGs and they look great, and if there is strategy involved, I know I'd like it.
Big Bang Age was pretty good too. And I like anything that's like sengoku rance.
I really wanted to play eiyuu senki too but not fully translated.

Why do you think daiteikoku was shit?

>>11286189
kamidori was awesome, but i got forced into the little girl's story line because I used her the most in battle. her AOE is OP as fuck.
sucked cuz im not into loli :/

Today i'm start playing 創刻のアテリアル.
I hope it's not much grinding.

>>11286198
There is no strategy involved, just memorization and savescumming.

>>11286211
I hope you like grinding.

>>11286248
SpoilerAL.

>>11283770
You've stretched that window by 10x5 pixels, causing the whole image to get scaled and blurred with an incorrect aspect ratio thrown on. This pisses me off. I could not play like that.

>>11286288
That's cheating. Real men don't cheat.

Would you suck Tae Kim's DICK?

How come yuzusoft has such a hard on for danny choo?

I thought this would be more suited to the nukige thread, but I had little luck there. Can you name some titles with one or more eternal loli heroine(s)? Preferably with a route, or at least scenes.

The ones I'm aware of are
-Kuroai
-Injoku Toshi
-Gyakushuu 3 (guest appearance in 4)
-Aku no Onna Kanbu
-Bishoujo Mangekyou (debatable)
-Dungeon Crusaders
-Kuroinu (I think)
-Demonbane
-Taiyou no Promia
-Draculius (I heard)

>>11285551
I've only needed a code that wasn't built in for SubaHibi, which can easily be found on their google code wiki.
http://code.google.com/p/interactive-text-hooker/wiki/DevGuide#Examples
They've probably only left it non-integrated for example's sake.

>What are you playing?
enjoying Yes you highness

Got around to finishing several routes...

This is split into two stages - you can only access the second stage after doing all the endings(include one without any cg event). First stage can be a standalone VN as it has all the ero cg events, and the second stage can be thought as deeper development for the girl in question. While it might sound good, the development is rather shallow and not really given time to come through. IMO this is quite a failure since they dumped all the ero into the first part and thus allowing more flexibility for the writer(s) for punchy stuff without the ero event breaking flow.

So the idea is good, execution is poor, especially this VN has many selection prompts. The status quo of male MC's core philosophy is lacking, feels like an empty slogan just hangs on his mouth than a life-change experience (shown in beginning of second stage). He is also pushed around quite easily which felt a little weird as he isn't really painted to be care-free type but a responsible type (his inner thoughts with the little sister reveal this)

Overall, nice idea, decent effort (art, engine, music, etc), execution wasn't so well. Gleamgarden was better.

>>11286580
is it good?

>>11284671
Just find them from VNDB, also the next installment from the Grisaia franchise will be out in about a year, the translator said it takes him about 7 months and he hasn't started yet.

>>11286589
Do they actually do gangsta stuff?

>>11286601

For me it's average, 6/10, YMMV.

>>11286637

Nothing really "gangsta", it's a volunteer club with a gang of girls in all but name, playing with kids, walk the dogs and so on. How I wish it was really gangster-like (think Tsujidou-san minus the romance in a club setting).

>>11286601
Yes, I like the mc is "crazy"

>>11286517
What is that even supposed to mean?

OP looks nice.

>>11287091
Gunslinger Girl the VN?
Awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj3L_nduKdo

>>11286517
I did a double-take when I saw that. Was that in other Yuzusoft games as well? Amairo is the first of theirs I've played.

>>11287136
Except the VN has male and isn't yuri.

>>11287140
If I'm not wrong, Dracu-riot had a Mirai Suenaga cameo in one of the backgrounds.

I haven't played Amairo, though. Out of curiosity, what happens in that?

>>11287151
He's in the credits. I didn't notice any cameos, but I hadn't been looking.

>>11287171
First Nitroplus, and now Yuzusoft. He's taken over Japan.

He's probably an investor or something.
That guy is rich.

>>11287171
Maybe it has something to do with him advertising Amairo? Already done Shirley's route and I've never seen references.

>>11287151
It's not just one:
http://www.dannychoo.com/en/post/26500/DRACU+RIOT.html

>>11287224
To be fair, it's exactly the sort of thing I would invest in if I were rich.

>>11287234
That commenting system is neat.

>>11287091
the protag looks pussy as fuck

Would you suck Tae Kim's DICK?

>>11287651
Am I supposed to know who the fuck Tae Kim is?

Just started reading the PS2 port of Higurashi.
Kinda nice to see that there will be CGs this time around.
I really like the voices too, Rena and Rika's are too damn cute.

I've been reading Yukiuta and this route makes me miss sensei's routes nowadays a bit, always sidelined in favor of high school girls.
I like them a lot, but some variety once in a while doesn't kill anyone, drinking with them is cool and I guess they have problems I can relate with more now.

>>11287976
How big is the utsuge factor?

>>11288385
If you completely avoid the overly sadistic bad ends, low.

Orrible seiyuur ealy...

There's an actual shota game on the horizon and it looks amazing.

>>11288563
Can't wait. I hope my dick can handle it.

I just remembered the port of phantom of inferno comes out this month, can't wait, never read it and the new version looks great.
I just hope it's actually uploaded.
