Weekly EOP camouflage thread.

just finished tokei 3, probably will take a small break and go back to play a title from nov/dec

>>13005931
Fun game.

>>13005950
I hate EOPs too much and unironically. I think I might need therapy.

>>13006027
Don't reply to such obvious reverse-baiting.

>>13006027
I remember thinking this attitude was silly until I learned Japanese and turned into a being of rage.

>>13006027
I hate people that ignore my post to discuss resolutions or whatever the tangent for the thread is even though these people are my only friends. Am I a bad person?

Finished ハルキス, Rather enjoyed it thanks to all of the heroines being rather good. Itsuki was easily the best

>>13006334
Is the art still weird? Like necks etc. I've seen it weird in some previous Kiss titles.

How good is Reminiscence compared to akagoei? I just finished the first Akagoei and it was pretty entertaining.

>>13006419
There were a couple of instances that felt a little off, like Amane lacking a nose in a CG (Picture related) and Konomi's lower half being a tad too large in one particular h CG shot. The only major issue artwise i have is that i think Amane's breasts are too low on her chest.

They more than made up for it with the sprite's and their facial expressions however, Itsuki's was particularly good

The サノバウィッチ trial was quite amusing, although none of the heroines besides the lovely Nene grabbed my attention too much. Might do Tsumugi's route too depending on how things develop from the cliffhanger ending.

Looking forward to release day.

>>13006512
Is it at least more entertaining than Amairo? I wish Yuzusoft would hire that writer from Smee. Quality characters like Mochoppi are in dire need.

>>13006512
Nene is so damn hot on the cover but the game sounds boring. I have yet to start the trial.

>>13006550
I can't compare it to Amairo as I haven't played it, but the trial managed to be amusing for the most part. It's not as comedy-focused or crazy as Fureraba, but it has its good share of funny, cute and lewd moments. Nene's constant breaking down when she does something embarrassing dealing with her issues was consistently funny, although in the long run it might end up repetitive since the flow is generally the same: she does something embarassing, protagonist catches her, cue empty eyes and darkened face.

The writing really isn't exceptional in any way and I wouldn't expect any sort of competent plot, but it was pleasant to read overall. If it keeps up, it should be worth checking out if you want something simple to play this month.

Can you vote for FD?

>>13008288
There's その他タイトル at the bottom. Use that.

>>13006442
They both have godawful endings and good characters.

>>13008323
I know, but it does seem a bit odd that a PULLTOP game wasn't on the list.

>>13008466
I smell getchu conspiracy.

>>13008466
>>13008483
Konosora Snow Presents was in there and that's Pulltop.

Anyone has a workable version of "Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou"?

I downloaded a ~400MB one, but I can't get it to work. Also, any OBSCURE eroge/horror games?

>>13008466
>>13009188
Maybe they just don't add FDs? Although Daitoshokan FD is there, so who knows.

>>13009264
Maybe it would be a good idea to describe what problems did you get with the copy you downloaded.

And this is a wildshot, but for an similarly old game, Nijuuei, I needed to actually burn the music CD to a real disc and insert it into the drive. Some other games also have problems with sound playing on newer systems and I remember there being a solution devised by some Japanese person. It linked several threads ago, maybe someone will link it to you, if it's relevant to your problem.

Also Nijuuei itself is a somewhat obsucure good eroge with horror elements.

>>13009301
I've wanted to play that for a long time, but I've never been able to get it to work on my computer. Remake when?

>>13009795
You mean 陰と影 〜那月綺談〜?

Tell ScaJi to make it after Sakura no Uta.

>>13009995

>>13009995
He should just release the old sakura no uta and completely devote his time to this.

>>13009264
I'll upload my copy and you can give it a shot.

>>13005931

Can these people use fucking gradients? It's 2014, why do these images look like 256 color bitmaps?

>>13009301
My problem is the following that it says it's missing something. I thought it was on the file though, but somehow it doesn't recognize or link to it.
>pic related

>>13010129
OMG!! Thank you so much!
I been dying to get my hands on that game.

>>13009995
I went to check his Twitter and it's a wonder he can do any work at all with how much he's spamming posts on it.

At least he gives out info about the game sowewhat often.

>>13010463
Poor sca-ji, couldn't even do his homo route.

>>13010357
Use the Japanese locale or at least avoid using Japanese characters in the path you goddamn retard.

>>13010168
Fuck you, old KeroMakura shading is great. Also, it's currently 2015, not 2014, and that game came out 7 years ago.

>>13010463
Sca-ji is the main reason I have a Twitter account.

>>13010474
All he has to do is drop one of the routes and replace it with hot homo sex.

>>13006442
I hated Remi protag and most of remi characters.
Whole drama between protag and his sister is so fucking stupid that reading sister route felt like torture.
The only good thing of both remi games is Kaito stories.

>>13005950
Weekly text hooker general.

>>13008354
Pretty much this. The common route of Reminiscence 1 is one of the best things I've ever read, but those endings were terrible.

>>13011413
Agreed with that. But for me Shuumatsuron was even better.

>>13010691
Thanks for uploading this. Of the two torrents I found one was downloading less than 1KiB/s and the other not at all. I've wanted to play this game for a while now so thank you.

And thank you to all the people that upload stuff in these threads. I've downloaded a few games that I couldn't find thanks to you guys.

>This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.
You should probably specify that you're referring to things that aren't translated into English because Muramasa and White Albuma and shit have Chinese translations.

>>13011928
No, discussing Chinese translations of Muramasa is not okay either.

>>13011928
As long as the copy you're reading isn't translated, you're fine.

>>13011928

Oh my god fuck off with this shit, you and everyone else who sees this thread should know what it means and what it's purpose is, especially now with the changes in the OP. If there is any confusion with the thread title being in Japanese now then there is no hope for you, kill yourself.

>>13012017
>should know what it means
everyone has known what this thread was for since the beginning of time, but that never stopped anyone

Anyone playing the new GSS partial patch???

Anybody else having any issues with EGS?

>>13012022
>since the beginning of time,
You mean since /vg/ was created. But since I'm assuming you're newer than that, I guess that's the beginning of time for you.

>>13012106
Works fine here

>>13012017
If you think telling people on the Internet to kill themselves makes you cool then I don't think you're old enough to post on this site.

Pls, pls don't take the bait.

>>13012150
back then everybody knew what the thread was for too, it was just for something different

>>13009795
You could emulate the PS1 version of Nijuuei. No ero, but it's easy to find on the internet and PS1 emulation should be no problem. Even the good old ePSXe got a recent update and Mednafen should run everything.

>>13012549
Good thing I have an iso for that.

>>13006512
Yuzusoft is really going full throttle with the marketing, huh. They're spamming it everywhere, I even had to unfollow their Twitter account.

The OP sequence was really nice though.

>>13012594
Yeah, the PS1 isn't hard to find. The Dreamcast one isn't easily available on the other hand. But I'm not sure if there any differences between PS1 and DC versions and DC emulation is much worse anyway.

Anyone else tried the Chronos Clock demo?

I liked the drama in the prologue and beginning of the common route. But most of that was settled by the time the trial ended. I don't even know what's the goal of the rest of this game.

Anyone know legit link for 明日の君と逢うために COMPLETE BOX/ Fandisk? Every link on AS and Nyaa torrent are dead for me.

>>13012900
If you liked the demo check できない私が、くり返す。
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ8YQMUnASM
It's basically the same concept but does it better. I'll give the full game a chance though.

>>13013546
I don't know. That game seems illogical, because what counts as "changing the future" seems to be arbitrary, at least in the trial.
I mean, the very moment he goes back and does something differently, the future IS changed.

>>13013594
The future can't be changed is only a plot device to support the tragic darama and the message that they want to deliver, you will sure get it's full meaning at the true route if you played. Chronos Clock isn't bad but it felt like your typical moege with some drama.

>>13013717
Why are you expecting a typical moege from the writer of ef and Suika?

>>13014299
I don't know. Maybe because it has 6 heroines with archyetypes and the mc using his clock to get him a girlfriend? It has some drama but not sure that it will turn into tragedy like ef, I didn't play suika. Anyway I liked what I read in the demo, I'll give the full game a chance.

>>13013546
>>13013717
I played できない私が、くり返す。 and thought the time traveling in that game was terribly written.

"The future can't be changed" ...except when the writer does want it to be changed. This was the most frustrating thing in the entire story. The author never really defined exactly what can and can't change other than the time of people's deaths.

The theme also didn't work at all for the story. It looks like the author wanted to make the theme something like "don't stay stuck in the past, live in the present" but the problem with this is that the protagonist only managed reach a conclusion that he was willing to accept with the help of the clock. He needed the clock (which represents the past) to change the present so it invalidates the theme.

>>13015736
Just to clarify, it looks like I'm being really negative about the game but I think it was actually a pretty decent game.
The drama was mostly well written, the art was nice, and the girls were interesting.
I just think that recommending the game for its time traveling concept is silly because the time traveling in that game was terrible.

>>13015736
>>13015788
I guess you misunderstood a lot of things. When did the future change? Iam pretty sure the game made it clear that the future can't be changed no matter what. The game also specified that your ways maybe deffer each time you go to the past but the conclusion will always be the same. Finally the theme of the story is more like " Time is limited even if you have a clock that rewinds time, the most important thing is not how much you lived but to live without regrets. " and the clock did it pretty will to deliver this message.

The game is indeed a decent one, I liked it alot, it also has a great ost
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DFq9w7hKbko

I recommend to read it even if you dont have any interest in time travel becaousd it's not really what the game is about.

>>13015891
The clock changed the future plenty of times. It's most obvious in Shino's route. The order and date that they try to complete her bucket list are different in the second time line. Not to mention it changed from her dying while hating the protagonist to dying while loving the protag. How can you say that's not changed?

>Finally the theme of the story is more like " Time is limited even if you have a clock that rewinds time, the most important thing is not how much you lived but to live without regrets. "
I don't know how you can think that's the theme when one of the things the protagonist wanted to do was to stay in a time loop to gain enough time to become a doctor/scientist and research a cure for Shino. He has literally unlimited time.

>>13015958
>The order and date that they try to complete her bucket list are different in the second time line
>Not to mention it changed from her dying while hating the protagonist to dying while loving the protag
Same results.

>>13015961
I think love is pretty damn big change man. It changed the story from a bad end to bittersweet end.

Guys just when will the "pretend lovers" thing will end? I'm at the part where he sent his sister back to home, and seriously this shit become really annoying. Since the heroines are kinda interesting I want to see a couple of routes, But if the fake lovers theme will continue too long I'll just drop it. Or at least tell me when he'll say other heroines that its actually fake.

>>13016008
>"pretend lovers"
This is such a terrible, terrible way to develop relationships, mostly because it's almost never done well in eroge.
The whole concept should just be dropped entirely until authors learn how to do it, otherwise you get garbage like Yuni's route in LC.

>>13015958
>>13015958
The ultimate conclusion is the same. The date and order may deffer but they manged to complete the task at the end, also shinos feeling did change but her dying which is the final result didn't. They explained this with Ren-san flashback. Also the mc was willing at the start to rewind times many time to study medical and cure shino but he changed his mind when the little girl with Ren-San died and accepted what she wanted to teach him about living without regret is the most important thing. The mc did really change when he left the clock at shino grave and told her he will move forward and try to find happiness.

I'll say it again, this game is beautiful.

>>13005959
Best girl.

>>13016024
In a love story, the ultimate element is the existence and shape of love and the clock did change that. Shino changed from hating the protag to loving him.
And if the protagonist truly had no regrets he should have acted out the second timeline the same way as the first timeline, ie. end the story with Shino hating the protagonist. But no, he did regret his broken relationship with her which is why he acted different in the second timeline.
It looks like the author did trying to force in a theme at the end when the protag gave up the clock, but like I said, the theme is invalidated by the rest of the story. The protagonist's earlier actions completely contradict the theme.

>>13016122
You missed the point. We are talking here if the clock has the power to change the fate or not, and no it don't. The feelings, ways, amount, time and order may change but the mc thinks it's all useless since the fated conclusion won't change. Also the theme is ment to be deliverd at the end when the mc started to fix the things he regretted, the players are meant to get the message through the mc experience and growth from someone who used the clock for five years to someone who moved forward trying to live without regret.

>>13016008
>Or at least tell me when he'll say other heroines that its actually fake.

Almost the entire cast finds outs pretty quickly with the notable expect of Itsuki's best friend. Konomi is also slow on the uptake and only finds out once she is told. The whole "Fake lovers" thing only really holds importance in one route and is just very minor shit in others

>>13016008
>Guys just when will the "pretend lovers" thing will end?

Itsuki's: Evolves into love obviously
Aoi: Causes drama at the end of the route and makes you want to murder the majority of the school. Itsuki has a great moment here though
Konomi: Almost completely ignored due to the heavy focus on Konomi and Shuuji's home life, dropped sometime in the middle of the route. No drama around it
Amane: Never dropped but has no importance due to the route having almost nothing to do with school/Itsuki, no drama around it

>>13010691

>>13015958

>>13016270
I haven't read this but it's on my backlist, but since I like stories about time travel, does it actually follow the Novikov self-consistency principle like it implies it does?
It really doesn't have to, to be able to write a nice time-travel story, but if things do end up changing and breaking the principle then it becomes a different beast whatsoever. If it is like that anon says, and they end up changing the future in some way, both the time consistency and point of the story are weakened as a fact. Feelings are still something tangible, unless one was a lie and there was really one feeling in both outcomes after all.
Time travel is hard to write well, after all. It might be a good drama but if it isn't self-consistent then the time travel aspect is a bit lousy.

Reading ちぇーんじ！～あの娘になってクンクンペロペロ～

Aside the great CGs, I'm having a lot of fun with the characters. It uses a lot of internet lingo, and the protagonist's friend is kind of a 2ch loser.
He calls you 'Niwaka' and 'Pleb', and refers to his favourite seiyuus as 2.5D

>>13016733
Don't forget to play Henshin 2011

>>13016733
how are the routes and whatnot formatted?

>>13016773
I'm not really into the inanimate possession bit as much as I am with the bodyswapping theme, but if it has the same humor I might read it just for the dialogue

Pic related, niconico discussing bait

>>13016836
You won't find any internet based humor in Henshin but the jokes/dialogue and such are of a very similar vein. The majority of the scenes in Henshin! are arguably better with Change! handling the heroines side better

This guy

>>13016774
You get to choose who to swap with every day, and swapping with one of the main heroines raises your sync rate with them. At the end of the month, you get the ending for the one you managed to raise to the max sync rate.
The game is built so the month is enough to do that for only one of them at a time though

There's also a lot of optional scenes that don't belong to any heroine, you just swap with random girls

>>13016961
Well it's basically true.
Just because a given seiyuu's voice makes my dick rock hard, it doesn't mean I want to actually fug them.
I find just even stumbling upon photos of a given VA I like generally disconcerting too.

>>13016733
What routes have you finished sofar and whats your opinion on them?\

>>13017074
So far I've finished Rumia (goth loli) and I'm halfway through Ogura (You can see her on the left in the classroom shot).

So far Rumia's route was fun. Even though she's the token shy girl with no friends, she is interesting, and you can meet other chuunibyou characters through her. Plus, her reasons for falling for the MC make sense so it's not just a magical turnaround 'because you're the MC'.

Ogura seems interesting too. She normally pretends to be a normal (openly said リア充), but is secretly an otaku into cosplay, so I'll let you imagine the CGs. Haven't reached the plot heavy part yet, so I think it's early to form an opinion though.

Also did a good part of Kyonimura (Right side of the classroom) route, but she seems quite bland. She's the usual big breasts, kind heart, small brain heroine, but unfortunately also seems to be the main one, since she's featured on the splash screen of the game and all of the promo material.

>>13012106
>>13012163
It's been a whole day, sorry, but EGS sporadically range-bans certain IPs if I recall.

Did Makoto stop translating for Muramasa?

>>13017349
Why should we know? Ask VNTS.

I've started playing Dive 2 after not playing any eroge at all for over a month. I was really bored of it before and now it feels a lot more interesting. I hope I haven't forgotten any major plot points.

>>13017320
Yeah, which is why I posted that it works and it's not on the server side. Sometimes EGS does go down with no real notice or anything because of server maintenance, etc.
I used to be IP banned myself since hiro thought my IP was weird-looking because of my country.

>>13016020
>>13016280
>>13016317
Thank you guys, I guess I'll try a little more. But as >>13016020 said I also think this setting is seriously a terrible way to develop relationships and its pretty much most hated theme for me.

>>13017919
While i hate the whole "Faker lovers" idea in general, the way Itsuki and Shuuji handled it didn't really bother me maybe due to how Itsuki isn't a bitch about it like heroines normally become in that situation. It only got my nerves in Aoi's route where it takes plot focus in the last part of her route

I was curious if sequels sell as well as original games so I looked it up. And since I spent all that time looking it up I thought I might as well post my work here too if case anyone else was wondering the same.

>>13017949
Well I think I'm still at the beginning so I cant say anything certain but I really wanted them to explain how are they fake to his sister and amane. Its not like there is any reason for lying and acting in front of those two, And I "really" hate when they deceive heroines as well in those fake lovers theme. I dont know how this game handled it since I didnt finish it yet, but most of games just drags "I love mc but he is dating with x so I cant confess him" thing so long that it makes me delete entire game.

>>13018078
The eroge industry is small after all. I already knew that's the case, but it's still a weird thought, knowing all of our porn games depend on such small number of Japanese buyers.

>>13018092
> I "really" hate when they deceive heroines
None of the heroines are dumb enough to not notice that the relationship is fake, except Konomi but that doesn't really matter considering how that route plays out quite differently comparing to the others.

>"I love mc but he is dating with x so I cant confess him"
This never happens in the story, don't worry.

>>13018078
I really hope PRETTY×CATION2 turns out better than 1 did.

>>13018127
They're sales "points" not sales numbers. 1 TG point is about 20 to 30 sales. I'm not sure how Push's points work. Also these are only the initial sales and don't include online sales so the real total sales are probably quite a bit higher.

>>13018164
I see. It still doesn't really translate into huge numbers anyway.

>>13018078
What is TG and what is PUSH?

Just finished あの晴れわたる空より高く.

I crashed the game a couple of times during playing, so I'm missing some CGs. Just to be sure: after entering a route there are no choices or anything, right? In other words: after finishing the true end, I've finished the game?

Finished natsukumo yururu.

I avoided it for quite a while because I thought the pacing in harukuru was absolutely awful.

This wasn't the case in this game though and it made me enjoy it a lot more, even though the "revelations" weren't as impactful.

Hoping that Akikuru won't involve any superpowers to make things more interesting.

>>13018845
Speaking of Harukuru - Just how many ero-scenes do I have to sit through before this starts being good?

>>13018862
The plot kicks in quite late but the porn density is huge only in the beginning.

In the end it's worth it, so just go for it and don't spoil yourself by looking up to much about it.

Anyone read Silverio Vendetta trials? Any impressions?

>>13018078
The fact that Dive2 than 1 has more points weirds me out. Why would someone do that?

>>13019038
They were nice, I liked the weak on the mental front MC and Vendetta and Chitose were good heroines, overall it was way better than the same part of electro arms. Music was a blast too.

>>13019229
Cool, I'll look forward to the whole thing.

>>13018078
Wow those numbers literally mean nothing.

>>13018845

Rinne best Natsukuru, tied with Shun.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I can't think of anywhere else.

Why is the text all messed up like this? Yes, I changed my locale to Japanese, and I have never had this issue before despite having played a few other untranslated VNs on this machine. It looks to me like an encoding issue, though I can't find a place to change the encoding anywhere in the settings. Also, it seems that right clicking (which makes the text box disappear) and left clicking again changes the text, though it doesn't always change it to the right text.

>>13020103
Might be a game that requires you to set your system's Date and Time Format to Japanese.

>>13020111
I just tried that now as per your suggestion, but it didn't seem to work, unless I changed the wrong setting or something. I'll try changing Windows's display language next.

Does anyone here have read any older games from Clochette / AXL? The oldest game I played from clochette is Kamikaze explorer and I only read Racial Merge from AXL. Since this month and next month seems pretty empty I'd like to add some games to my backlog, if anyone here have played some games from those companies and could share a couple of thoughts about them I'd be really glad.

>>13017038
It's really dicomforting for some reason. I don't even want to know how they look like. Even reading twitter accounts of seiyuu's gives me a weird feeling.

>>13017038
He also mentions cosplayers though. He's just a hypocrite. Probably into idols too.

I am back with another issue. I am trying to expand my vocabulary by text hooking and adding the words I dont know to Anki, but as you can see, both of the text hookers I am trying cut off bits of the sentence. Its not an issue here, but it is in some larger lines, especially given that it cuts out the exact kanji that I am trying to research.

>>13022560

You need an h-code, google for it. If you can't find it, we can't help you. For future reference, questions like this about text hooking or learning Japanese or whatever should go to /djt/ or hongfire.

>>13022560
Setting the text speed to instantaneous might help.

>>13022888
It already is.

>>13022569

It looks like there is no H-code for it, and trying to make one isnt working even though I am doing everything right, so Im just gonna request one on the hongfire thread

>>13022908
>>13022560
Honestly, I think you should play a game which can hook for your first few or until you are fine with reading without a hook.

Also, if you are going to add every word you don't know, you deck is going to be huge after several games.

>>13023070
Actually, I agree. I will put this on hold for a while.
Its going to be huge anyways since there are thousands of words I do not know.

>>13022560
Epic ;)

Btw EOPs belong to /vg/

>>13023099
Dunno what /vg/ is, and despite being here for half a year I still don't know what the acronym EOP actually means.

>>13023141
"english only peasant"

it's funny because the whole peasant thing got started in /v/ to begin with

>>13023179
Hmm, too bad the entire reason I posted in this thread in the first place was getting help in learning Japanese. I kinda cant be considered english only by that definition, unless the term EOP has evolved into a term for people who arent fluent in Japanese.

>>13023185
>the entire reason I posted in this thread in the first place was getting help in learning Japanese
Then you should get out because this is not the Japanese Learning thread. Go to >>>/a/djt

>>13023185
If your language knowledge isn't enough to play without a text hooker, you are an EOP.

I was going to do that anyways, I barely even know why I decided to post in here anyways. Its probably cause I hate leaving /jp

Kay, good to know.

I'm can't decide if I hate this art or not.

>>13023418
The left and middle actually look kind of cute in a retarded, doujin-grade way.

I have a problem with some games. Even if i relaly,really like them I just can't do more tan two route. Does this happen to you? What are you do in these situation?

>>13024008
I play another game. There's no obligation to finish all the routes.

>>13024008
>relaly,really like them
>can't do more tan two route
why

>>13024008
I know how that feels, especially true with those games in which not taking a route makes you see the effects of you not being there to correct the wrongdoings out of your reach.

It feels like not playing other routes is the best after that

Perfect Dark. Japanese p2p program which is popular for pirating anime and eroge.

>>13026752
>>13027194
Meta discussions are generally bad, so I don't want to dwell on this, but c'mon. That guy knew it's something abbreviated PD and used for file sharing. But "PD file sharing" into Google and you get Perfect Dark as the first result. He could have done it. Answering such easily solvable questions only means people will keep asking them endlessly.

Hey jp, suggest me some vn where mc saves a heroine from yankees and heroine falls in love with him at that spot. I know thats pretty classic but for reason even though I have more than 50 games in my backlog none of them have this, and I just want to play that kind of setting now.

>>13023418
I feel as though I'm supposed to hate it but cannot. It makes me calm.
As is the same with many stereotypical Japanese art styles.

Are there any notable talk-shows/radio/webcasts whose main subject is eroge?
Stuff like the one someone linked recently a few months back, with Amakano producer and Mareni interview, etc. (Incidentally I forgot the name of that as well but I can just look that up in the archives if nobody remembers.)

>>13028441
There's a lot of them.

One I watch occasionally is gan-sen channel. They invite staff members from various eroge companies to discuss their games and eroge in general.
http://ch.nicovideo.jp/gasenchannel

Quite a lot of eroge companies (the big ones anyway) also have their own radio/nicolive shows too. The eroge radio thread on 2ch is really good for keeping track of them.

Anybody else looking forward to this?

Did anyone try オトメスイッチ？ It lags a lot for me. Normally i would expect that's because i play it on a laptop, but i also played ひまわり!! -あなただけを見つめてる-　and that runs just fine.

>>13030595
Yes it's my favorite eroge series.

>>13031042
It seemed fine for me but I doubt I could help you

>>13031042
It's probably your graphics card that's bottlenecking you, but later in the day I could make a webm so you can verify the speed.
Himawari runs on E-mote, while I think Otome Switch is proprietary animation, so the requirements might be different.

>>13031517
>>13032160
I see, thanks for the support. Guess i have to buy a better laptop.

That was the best bad ending I have ever seen in my life.

Reminder that eroge writers can't make the games they want because otaku won't buy them.

>>13033718
What games do they want to make?

>>13033730

>>13032697
On my laptop I mostly had problems with simple effects animations, like sprites shaking as if in a wind or petals falling on the title screen, almost maxing one whole CPU core (~2,3 GHz). Even more when I allowed multi-core usage.

Must be shitty programming that automatically uses everything available or something. I just can't imagine some simple effect really needing so much CPU power.

If you're /g/ enough you know why this is funny.

I probably fucked up on the free roaming part and ended up stuck with the Miko Ending in Kara no Shoujo 2. It wouldn't be a problem if the skip function isn't so funky even with the patch.

now stop calling 'shit' everything you don't like and just ignore questions you aren't interested in.

>>13037061
I wasn't that guy who told you to stop reading shit games, I just wondered what games with bad protags you find fun, so I barged in. Although it's hard to tell when everyone's anonymous, yeah.

>>13037096
oh sorry, my bad. i should have known the shithead doesn't stay around, he just stings and leaves.

anyway, i don't have much experiance in vns to really discern good from bad, all i know is that i prefer light-hearted vns in general. as far as i'm concerned, a game is good if people find it fun, and if something in the game is annoying it just means other aspects of the game are fun (or i wouldn't have played it)

I'm hoping for endings.

>>13037188
Remi2 kind of had endings.
It's an improvement.

>>13037188
Well this one doesn't seem to be Kinugasa so it should be ok.

>>13037192
Yeah, but there were still nothing great. Still a bit disappointing. Maybe I'm just expecting too much though.

Apparently Kinugasa got a co-writer this time, maybe he'll take care of that.

>>13037188
but Kinugasa isn't writing that game

>>13037384
>>13037431
Nevermind. Looks like I mixed it up with another project.

>>13037397
My favourite endings by him are either Saki's route or Maho's route in conboku.
But that had good climaxes across the board for the most part.

Finished the trial for 悪魔娘の看板料理. The gameplay was pretty good.

Basically you're the owner of a newly built restaurant/inn. Some of the stuff you have to manage are:
- Food. You have to decide what ingredients you want to stock, what new meals to research, what to put on the menu, etc.
- Supply routes for the ingredients
- Reputation with the town and constructing new buildings
- Events with the heroines
- Issuing quests for adventurers

In the game you also get automatic income from renting rooms but it seems like you can't manage that, which was a little disappointing.
Also you can renovate and decorate your building but that wasn't available in the trial so I have no idea how that works.

Any place where I can download Dies Irae's soundtrack?

Everywhere I go the downloads are either removed or torrents are left not seeded.

I have long been waiting for someone to translate Mirai Nostalgia...
I have really high expectations for it.
To me personally it seems interesting. Also the CG artist is Koku. Who is damned talented.

>>13038484
if you want to read eroge you can't rely on translations

>>13038491
true

>>13038484
>Also the CG artist is Koku. Who is damned talented.
Is that image supposed to be convincing?

>>13038497
Who the hell am I supposed to convince?
A random translation team scrolling this page to fulfill one person's wish?
I think not.

This is my second game from AXL, but just from those two I can see how they managed to survive 10 years without going bankrupt: Long and really enjoyable common route which solves most of heroines problems and makes you play your routes without any regret for not chosing others, "Very" well made male support characters, Heroine routes without any long forced dramas and not so long ero scenes ( this depends on person though, for me its better than very long ones), Very charming heroines and good (at least not hetare) protagonist.

If anyone here likes moege and never tried AXL, definitely try Racial Merge & Itoshii Kanojo no Mamorikata at least.

I actually know Japanese but if there is a translation of a game available, and assuming there are no major problems with it, I will pick the translated version instead.

>>13038607
I do the same because I'm fucking lazy.

>>13038607
I don't know if it just me or its you who actually don't know Japanese but reading translation feels very awkward because you'll realize there are lots of Japanese word and expression that don't simply work in English.

>>13038607
I simply can't read eroge in English anymore it just feels kinda off

>>13038648
Me too, and I have even replayed most of games in japanese which I have read in english before.

>>13038648
I agree. Translating Japanese into English just feels wrong to me now.

>>13038607
People who do that are lazy faggots who don't actually know the language but rely on external sources like dictionary or texthookers to read the games

>>13038689
Since when did using dictionaries mean you don't know the language?

>>13038701
If you have to use it enough that it weighs on the decision between reading a translation and the original then yeah it's a pointer.

>>13038689
Sorry if I don't know every single word in the language before I even attempt to read anything.

>>13038574
AXL is okay for me too, Racial Merge was enjoyable enough.

Why are these threads so /a/-tier?
Filled with flavor of the month shit and a few select older titles people circlejerk to.

>>13038797
So change it.

>>13038797
You can create your own /jp/-tier thread on /jp/ if you like!

>>13038797
/jp/ is /a/'s little sister, they are bound to be alike

>>13038726
As someone who has very shit japanese I can vouch for the fact that not very much knowledge of the language is required to read most eroge with a texthooker

>>13038828
>eroge with a texthooker
I still wonder why the fuck people do this.

If english translations are already bastardized versions of the original, texthooking is just abominations. You're not appreciating the work you're probably mostly filling in the blanks with your brain and within the context of the scene.

Not that I would know how that's like though, I tried to use texthooking on a VN I wanted to read back in 2007 and I figured it would be much better to just learn the damn language to truly appreciate what I enjoy

>>13038876
I use texthookers to look up the words I don't know that come up once in a while.
Don't assume that texthookers are only used by complete shitters.

>>13038876
How can texthooking possibly be worse than translations? Nowadays I'm too lazy to start everything up, but I've been using texthooker + Rikai-chan for years. And it's simpler to just paste the sentence into your Anki deck instead of typing it manually, or to quickly look up a character you don't know instead of trying to use handwriting recognition or radical search.

Remind me why people think using texthookers is the same as using translation programs.

Many titles nowadays require too much effort to apply the H-codes, so I'd just go with the usual pen-and-paper approach by writing down the words and look them up by radicals using a dictionary (New Nelson J-E Dictionary.) I probably need to pick up a dictionary for grammar as well.

>people unironically admitting to use texthookers

If you can't at least properly search for kanji with all the variety of methods available, whenever they come up you should just off yourself quietly.

>>13038937
right, because you wouldn't want to lump yourself with all those other texthooking plebs. Gotta use the slower way to look up kanji and vocabulary.

>>13038876
That's pretty much what I'm saying- any idiot who doesn't know the language can do it, and it's an inferior way to experience eroge

>>13038942
>slower
Given the fact that I know most of the kanji that comes up in VNs, I can look up a kanji that appears in text faster than you can start up your pleb texthooking program, when that seldom happens that is.

>>13038951
So you would rather open a dictionary or write out a kanji in the middle of reading instead of just starting up a program before hand?

>>13038931
It should be faster to use handwriting recognition with Microsoft IME and pasting into some online dictionary or to use kanji.sljfaq.org

>>13038951
With texthooker looking up a word is as easy as 1 click + Ctrl-V + point mouse at the word. 1 second total. Any way of inputting it manually would take 3 seconds or maybe much more if you use offline dictionary. You must be a retard to prefer that. Texthookers break immersion much less than any other method.

Pls
Pls
Take it easy!

and don't come back

>>13038951
Last time was EOP and this time you don't tolerate people who use text hooker without machine translation tool. Give it a break, nobody cares if you're a master in Japanese language and know all obscure kanji but please keep it away from the thread. It require more than 1 year too read vn without relying on Parser and dictionary. not everyone has the time to do that. Please just kill yourself and go back to your circlejerk in TLWIKI.

>>13039147
>Please just kill yourself and go back to your circlejerk in TLWIKI.
I've never seen such beautiful contradiction that feels so right in one single sentence.

>>13038876
You're implying every person who uses a texthooker uses it to machine translate. Maybe they just have it up so if they see a word they don't know they can go figure out what it means instead of staring at it hoping they figure it out so they can move on.

>>13039341
One of the best things about Japanese is you CAN figure out what individual and compound kanji mean by looking at its radicals and using context clues. You can even get the reading right if you're knowledge base is large enough.

>>13039374

>>13038607
This was my attitude in my early moonspeaking days but soon I realized that all eroge translations have major problems.

>>13038648
>>13038670
For me at least it's more the fact that the people translating eroge are abysmal. They have no English writing ability so the translation is stilted and painful to read, even setting aside the very likely accuracy issues. When I've read good Japanese literature translations I haven't had any problems (I've also encountered some poor lit translations).

>>13039174
Did I fucking stutter ?

>>13039374
No, you can't. And you don't know the language at all if you believe that.

Can we just ignore the retard? He's obviously a pathetic neckbeard EOP with nothing better to do and only want to shit up this thread. Report and ignore.

>>13038689
I don't do that, but if I cared about reading VNs more than improving my japanese, I would do that even for moege where I probably wouldn't need to look up more than 50 words in the entire game, purely because I read much faster in English, and could still listen to the voiced lines in Japanese. It would just make it less boring by going through it faster. Of course if it's something where the prose in japanese is actually supposed to be decent I wouldn't consider it though.

>>13039606
Don't lie.

>>13039633
About what?

>>13038797
Because we read most of stuff released in particular month for many years, and there's literally no point in discussing something old?
I can't even imagine what should "proper" VN thread look like according to you.

>>13039663
he's probably just used to EOPs having 100 threads about grisaia and 1000 threads about f/sn because they have nothing good to read

>>13039743
Are you trying to suggest that the monthly releases we discuss in this thread are something "good to read"?

>>13039744
some of them are, and it's hard to tell before anyone has read them and discussed how they are

hey I'm using Interactive Text Hooker right now but for some reason it's not bothering to translate the text and all it gives me are "ああああ". what do I do?

>>13038574
I have only played キミの声がきこえる from AXL. At least in this game, like you said, protagonist and the supporting friends was good, and they actually played a role participated in the story. I really liked that.

This brings back some memories. I remember talking to this girl on the phone and I and feelings for her.

remember when people ignored shit heads. Because I dont.

>>13039889
this is /prog/ every thread will be replied to no exceptions

Ryuko Ooishi is illustrating a new VN for Liar-soft. Get fucking hype.

>>13039744
About as much as /a/'s seasonal anime is fun to watch. Both are generally more fun to talk about due to simply being newer, in many's eyes.

>>13040289
It's generally more entertaining to discuss new things than regurgitating discussions.

>>13039822
You simply panic and read its output aloud.

Holy fuck it must be that hard to make your own thread about translated eroge or spesific transtaled titles you want to discuss or about learning Japanese. Even idol shitters has more brain than these retards.

>>13038761
Murumuru is the only mascot character I have ever liked. Even though most of mascots are pretty annoying for some reason murumuru's voice and actions made it my favorite character.

>>13039835
I was planning to read all of their games anyway, thanks to you I decided my next game, thank you very much.

>>13039835
>>13038574
Only problem AXL's sameface gets tiring after while. Well that no different from other eroge companies with 1 artist.

But yeah, I like how AXL at least tries to do something with their setting.

>>13040481
Their artist has a rather peculiar style, which has not changed much over the years. It's not bad for the most part but I remember I was more okay with it before.

The ero, however, is super hot in all games.

>>13040507
You could build a military base on that chin.

I wanted to play Biniku no Kaori but on further research I found out that there seems to also be some alternate version with animated H-scenes later, which I cannot find on the usual places. Is that version worth the search?

Also about the separate extra volume, is it supposed to be read before the main game or after it?

>>13043069
If I recall correctly, the H-scenes are animated in the original game. You might be referring to the Side Stories (https://vndb.org/v10992).). I haven't played it yet but looking at EGS it wasn't well-received.

Looks like they changed the Sakura no Uta HDD requirements to just say 未定. That's disappointing.

>>13040856

I've had the suspicion there's been a recent influx of f/a/gs in this thread. It explains the even worse than usual quality.

>>13040311
Most stuff pre-09 was never discussed to begin with, except for a few of the really popular classics (or ones that got translated).

>>13043069
The original has animated scenes. You might be thinking of Naked, which is actually a prototype that elf decided to make some money off of by selling as its own game, which unsurprisingly pissed off fans.

>Also about the separate extra volume, is it supposed to be read before the main game or after it?
I haven't played it but since it's a fandisc I'm almost sure you're supposed to read it after.

>>13041242
I'm fairly sure Ooishi is female.

Newswise there's nothing yet besides the tentative title, Fairytale Requiem, and that it's planned for a 2015 release. No news on scenario writer either (the flyer just says "Story: Liar-soft"). It was just announced at C87.

I would flip the fuck out if it were a follow-up or somehow related to Forest.

What proxy do you use for eroge?

I've used yokatta twice but it's pretty slow. I don't mean the sending from Japan to my country, but the interaction between replies. After I replied with my address and that, there was about two months before a reply.

>>13044786
I normally have pretty fast service from Yokatta in the past when I used them.
I used dv8cag for the one I preordered this month and I got a reply by the time I had woken up the next day, and confirmation of the payment I had sent the following day, though since Yokatta wasn't currently accepting new orders.

>>13044786
I used to use Tenso a lot but I figured I'd stop and use Big in Japan in the future

Tenso is great if you just want to buy shit and get it over with, it's light, and you want to use EMS, and yeah I'm aware it's a forwarder and not a proxy, but still.

Would you suck Moogy's DICK?

>>13044211
I just want to think it's the same guy samefagging, really.

>>13043069
The one I got on nyaa had animated sex scenes.
Like others said I think that's the only version.

Speaking on which, why does elf keep making unlooped animated sex scenes. It's such a turn off.
Looks great when it's properly looped though.

I get a game over on Day 9 no matter what I do, which is long before I'm able to develop my skills from the doctor. I've even tried fiddling with the numbers using Cheat Engine. It always says I lost track of the girls or some shit.
