>looks like a childhood friend so meh

She's a transfer student.

>>13644232
She also met the protagonist and became his friend during her childhood so fuck you she's also a childhood friend.

>>13644252
She's like a bunch of annoying heroine qualities and cliches all rolled into one single character.

>>13644255
Sounds like a moege.

>>13644255
She's also a shounen manga MC.

Question not restricted to ones with "VN element", but are there any really good untranslated SRPGs? Not asking for FFT level but at least something close - good story, decent AI, interesting combat system etc.

>>13644536
Utawarerumomo PS2 or PSP version.

>>13644536
yeah, tons

>>13644523
Kusarihime is better than all of those

>>13644544
Which ones are the best of the bunch, "classics" like FFT or LUCT would be in the West? Like if you had to pick one untranslated SRPG to recommend, what would it be?

>>13644475
I don't think there's a consensus about it here but mine would probably be

1. 雪都さお梨
2. 夏野こおり
3. 御苑生メイ
4. 青葉りんご
5. 一色ヒカル

I like many, it's hard to reduce my list to 5 but there it is.

>>13644475
1.Kiri Hana
2.Haruka Sora
3.Kazane
4.Agumi Oto
5.Shimizu Ai

9999. Aoyama Yukari, fuck that bitch.

>>13644570
>1. 雪都さお梨

Nice taste m8. She's really good at stuttering.

>>13644536
>good story
I never understood what's supposed to be so good about FFT story. The plot was basic and the characters were introduced and forgot immediately after. If you are looking for that kind of stuff (I don't know why you would) you aren't going to find many eroge that fit that criteria for sure. I'm not a jsrpg connoisseur, pretty much the only eroge I've played which had srpg elements was the Ikusa Megami series, but I surely enjoyed those more than FFT for the simple fact that characters felt like actual characters. And I mean IM is borderline nukige, which are not exactly famous for their great characters. But at least they didn't shaft them after the first time they spoke.

>>13644536

3) Nakahara Mai
4) Sawata Natsu
5) Notsuki Mahiru

this is official list blessed by our overlord

>>13644733
Why are there male VAs on that list?

>>13644765
He is either a fag or a girl.

>>13644475
Kazane
Aoba Ringo
Nakamura Eriko
Shimizu Ai
Hirai Riko

In no particular order for me.

I agree with >>13644622 about Aoyama Yukari. If I even bother downloading a game with her in it the first thing I do is mute her character. If I can't do that, it's instantly uninstalled.

>>13644765
>>13644768
You have something against Wakamoto? He's much better than most of squeaky bitches out there.

>>13644622

Ok, I can understand that when she grew up she became a major gamer and started wearing nintendo controllers in her hair but as a child? That had to be her parents ... and why would you stick nintendo controllers in your daughters hair?

>>13646129
Probably for the same reason you'd stick your kid in the washing machine.

>>13646129
I'm certain the writers don't know either, but my best guess would be maybe she or her parents picked it out while shopping because it was cute or it caught her interest.

>>13646129
Why is she in a washing machine?

>>13646185
You are the one inside.

>>13646129
Maybe she had a nintendo as a kid and bought/begged her parents for a those or got them from somebody as a birthday gift or something because kids like nintendo.

>>13645078
Isshiki Hikaru should be in every list

>>13646983
Good taste

I've started to recognize and imagine japanese hags behind recording gear sqeaking out JK voices and turned off voices for recent few games. I wish I could enjoy popular seiyuu again.

>>13647110
Please be calm and accepting of "veteran" seiyuu.

>>13647110
VAs don't have physical forms. They are just strange ethereal beings made of pure sound, and you can't convince me otherwise.

>>13647117
That actually sounds like a good approach.

Speaking of VA, what does it take to become anime seiyuu who always voice main character without stepping into eroge industry?

>>13647218

Guys, I'm stuck in Evenicle. I've just wifed Tio and have entered the monster nest. I defeated the first rush of monsters, but I can't get past the second rush, despite killing like 15 monsters - the combat just ends with Asta fleeing the battle. After the battle Khas has a revelation about destroying some kind of pot, but I have no idea where that is.
What do I do?

>>13647224
Why Japanese girls don't go for plastic surgery like korean ?

>>13647393
Go back in the monster nest atand step on a crack on the ground. There's two of them.

>>13647412
A lot of them actually do.

>>13647416
Thanks!

>>13647416
I think it was a poor design choice to have to do that, considering the characters specifically warn you not to step on unstable ground at the beginning of the dungeon.

Which Innocent Grey titles are worth playing?

Kara no Shoujo 1&2?

>>13648229
Cartagra too before those.
For the kns series, you need to read their trials by the way, not included in the actual games.

>>13647393
Any tips for beating Felton?

According to most sites I'm just way too low level. The guides I'm checking say ~level 65 and I'm all level 53. Should I just grind my way up?

>>13644475
1. Aoyama Yukari
2. Airi Sakura (voices Orietta in MagiCha and literally nothing else)
3. Sukisagi Kazuya (the guy who voices several evil / tough guy characters in DI, Baldr and other games)
4. 先割れスプーン (Mercurius in DI, though his "regular" voice is also nice)
5. Kawashima Rino just stuck with me after SubaHibi.

>>13648229
None.

>>13648270
The final fight?
I think my guys were around level 70 at that point, it's good to have Kath use her cancel ability once Felton gives himself +4/+4, and don't worry about boosting your own party's since he will just remove them each turn.
Basically just make sure Ramius doesn't die and you will eventually get him down. I managed to do it with no items used, so if you buy some healing items then it should be no problem at all.

>>13648441
Boosting your party is actually a good way to have him waste a turn

>>13640682
The other game made by that company is an adaption of a narou novel too.

I'm so sorry, Towa

"このCD-ROMには正義・正論・愛・恋・友情…は入っていません" This line made me play this game.

Finished For Elise. I didn't like it.

It had some good looking art. I liked how all the girls have pale skin with dark hair. The atmosphere is good at building the stress Hioki is going though. The way Hioki talks is kind of humorous, in a awkward way. It's set in a office and they even go into a bar, crazy stuff, right? All the ero scenes are about ten seconds long. The game, playing though both routes took me about four hours maybe, I finished it in a day anyway. The ending is the same anyway. Some of the music is alright. It has a repeated motif of fur Elise.

I felt it didn't have any meaning. A lot of bad things happen to Hioki but I just didn't really care. It makes you more annoyed than depressed. I only liked one character, the rest are pretty terrible, but one could argue that you weren't supposed to like them. If this game was released today, I would most likely die of laughter at people's reaction, all the things that games have to have, like virgin heroines, pure girls, loyal girls... this game doesn't have.

The dreams/delusions Hioki has are weird, to say the least. Probably the weirdest things I've seen in VNs. The scenes are short, about 30 seconds long, I guess.

The system is old. It has the move, talk, look options like an adventure game etc. You can only save at the beginning of each day. Of course, no skip previously read text and backlog. The music doesn't loop. Surprisingly I got this game to work on windows 7, after a bit of mucking around.

The ending was okay. If you think, did he just...? then yes, he did.

If you played sayooshi and looked into other craftwork titles, don't bother with this. It's bad, but it's not the worst I've played. If you want a 'realistic' game, this is it.

>>13644475
Seems like no one even metioned 水橋 かおり but personally I really like her voice, she is one of the best seiyuus at voicing emotionally charged words imo.

>>13649625
It's probably because she's pretty much garbage and has a knack for getting to voice the most annoying characters imaginable.

>>13649167

>>13644570
Talking about 雪都さお梨 I haven't seen that name in new works so I'm guess she's fully switching to her new pseudonym 上原あおい.

>>13649649
Like who? I know her from 太陽のプロミア's Reno, ワルキューレロマンツェ's Ayako, グリザイアの果実 's Michiru, ほしうた's Renge, 恋姫†無双's Ashe, ひとつ飛ばし恋愛's Aori etc and all of them were really great characters. She doesn't get that much roles anyway so accepting >has a knack for getting to voice the most annoying characters imaginable. as a fact is pretty hard for me.

>>13649683
Those are all pretty good examples of annoying characters.

>>13649683
>グリザイアの果実 's Michiru
Are you fucking serious? Like you said she doesn't get many roles so having her voice a character like Michiru was a waste.

I guess some of the other characters you listed are decent though.

>>13649687
Alright then, whatever floats your boat dude.

I don't really care for seiyuu as long as they don't annoy me and can't really understand the obsession of some people with VAs.

>>13650048
People like things they like.

>>13650048
Define "obsession"

>>13650158
Not him, but I don't know a single Seiyuu name despite having played a number of games (and seen a fair amount of anime). The fact that a question like >>13644475 can get so many serious, full answers is absolutely baffling. Knowing not just five names, but picking five out of a supposedly larger mental compendium of seiyuus, while I myself care so little I can't remember one, provides a context in which the meaning of "obsession" becomes clear, perhaps.

>>13650180
>a number of games (and seen a fair amount of anime)

Are you sure you're in the right board? I mean, you read eroge in Japanese right?

>>13650048
>>13650180
People do the same thing with artists, composers, and scenario writers. Is it really that strange that people who like a certain thing may want more of it?

>>13650180
So you're saying that since you don't give a single shit about something, anyone who has even the slightest interest in it is obsessed?

I'm obsessed with anime, I've watched a full 20 series!

>>13650180
That's like listening to music but not being able to name a single musician.

>>13650194
Yes.
>>13650196
I'm just providing context for a state of mind, nothing more. I'm not that guy, like I said.

The main difference between artists, musicians, scenario writers as opposed to seiyuus is that the former actually matter, while the later are pretty なんでもない. Or, inconsequential.

>>13650202
Which is true for most people (well, most can name at least a couple even if they don't know what to associate it with) - people remember bands but rarely the people actually playing in said bands. The people who do are mostly the hardcore fans.

>>13650207
> なんでもない

Opinion discarded. Stop reading eroge using ATLAS dipshit.

>>13650212
That's pretty obtuse of you.

>>13650207
Personally I think Seiyuu matter more than artists. I don't know the names of many of either, but a good voice definitely makes a difference.

>>13650207
>なんでもない
It's

>>13650212
Didn't you get the memo? あらずもがな use of Japanese has become our newest shitposting meme.

>>13650217
Well, I was being a bit exaggerated there. Certain seiyuus can really raise a game to new heights, though the only example of this I can readily think of is Umineko's PS3 version. But, for example, knowing the Seiyuu to Michuru in Grisaia by name? That's baffling in it's inconsequentiality. To me, anyway. I don't mean to make objective statements, this is all my opinion.

>>13650048
In some cases certain seiyuu are typecast into certain characters, so sometimes checking the seiyuu of a girl can determine her likability before playing.

It amazes me that someone can misuse something like "なんでもない" continuously.

I get used to eroge "all the way" romance, so most of romance anime just doesn't do it for me anymore. I used to care a lot about something like Nisekoi or Haganai but right now I really don't give a fuck about them anymore. I think the last anime I watched was Psycho Pass 2 and I watched it only because I loved the 1st season.

>>13650300
Well harem anime are shit, but there's a lot more than that.

Personally I find SOL anime a lot more tolerable than SOL eroge

>>13648270
I don't think I'm anywhere near that, I'm just slightly over 40. I hope the final fights aren't too hard, since I doubt my characters are built properly. I can't understand most of the tooltips, so I just pick the ones I can understand such as damage modifiers, poison, skills, etc.

I appreciate the newest japanese meme, the more simple jap structures are used, the more we become more familiar with japanese.

>>13650592
Evenicle is pretty lenient in terms of skills.
The only ones I'd strongly recommend for the final Felton fight are the 6x damage attack that Aster can get from talking to QD, and the defensive passive skills for Ramius since she doesn't have much damage output in the first place and if the boss gets past Ramius, everyone else will die pretty fast.
Gurigura is a bit of a weird character in terms of skills, her main uses come from her skills that affect stuff outside of combat. Her defense-breaking skill is pretty good though, as it permanently increases the damage a target takes as far as I know.
Riche is good on healing/BARRIER duty if you are low on items, but her fire/ice lasers are very powerful if you have the upgraded passive skill that increases the damage of a specific element.
Kath is good for the boost cancellation to remove Felton's +4/+4, and also useful for BP granting ability both on herself and for the party. Her first aid can be useful for keeping Ramius healed as well if you need it. Her one-time use ability that gives the party a free turn can also come in handy if you are lacking damage, since the boss gets a strong boost of power when on low life.

This is the third time you guys fall for that なんでもない meme. Come on.

>>13650664
I allow it.

Ironically the /vg/ shiposter keeps the thread alive somehow.

SOL eroge is usually better because it has more exposition and narration, you know what the MC is thinking.

At least for me.

>>13650841
>the MC
the what?

>>13650846
It's Main character.

>>13650851
I was just jokingly pointing out how the "main character" is just not as big a part in SOL or comedy anime as it is in eroge. Cocoa isn't really much more important than anyone else in Gochiusa, Tadakuni is missing from a whole episode of nichibros and mostly missing from the next ep, etc.

>>13650831
>I'm tired of this meme.
My 50 year old Hispanic mother uses the word meme unironically now, made me hate everything memes became.

Rereading Kanon in Japanese after all those years of shit translations being the only I experienced it. Feels good. What is a must reread for you guys?

>>13650180
Certain VAs make my penis much harder than others, and as that's basically why I play eroge, I remember VAs who do that.
Kazane's voice pretty much instantly turns my dick rock hard at this point, so I seek out titles which she's in to get more of that.

>>13651603
It's just shortcuts.

>>13650841
That makes it worse because most of the time the MC isn't thinking anything funny or interesting. Then you have a scene that should be around 10 minutes dragged out to around 20 or 30 with all the filler exposition.

>>13651717
You are obviously missing all the intricacies and subtleties about eating bento for lunch.

Hello /jp/! I come from /int/

I have a big favour I needed from you guys. My friend told me that you guys can help me with my JLPT N5 and she said that maybe by reading a visual novel I can improve my reading ability.

can you guys kindly enough to give me a recommendation for starter? Is it possible or does it even exists a visual novel with only Hiragana as their main text and dialogues?

thank you and sorry for troubling everyone.

picture is not related to thread but I hope you like it.

>>13652375
VNs are novels aimed at adults. At N5, they'll be WAY above your level. You can learn from them but it'll be less "reading" and more "desperately chipping away". But here's a chart anyway. Go here https://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/126750428/ for more detailed advice.

>>13652375
Manga seems like a better place to start reading than VNs, since like >>13652385 said they're usually aimed at adults.

>>13653368
There is some. As is with a lot of AliceSoft's stuff, there's some side character rape but most scenes are consensual.

>>13653368
Definitely not enough, the overall scarcity of rape is probably my main complain. Thankfully they fixed that near the end but still it took quite a while.

>>13653368

>>13653368

It depends what you define rape as, but I can count maybe 10 or so scenes out of 70~ that would definitely qualify as rape.

>>13653448

Any for the heroines?

>>13653583
There's one scene where two get "cleaned" by a friendly tentacle monster, but there's no penetration.
Only one of the side heroines is used goods, and she comes at the very end.

>>13653610

That's not bad, then. Thanks.

>>13653368
Am I the only one who is okay with tentacle rape but less so with human (orchestrated) rape?

I mean, the tentacles are just abiding by their nature. They do nothing wrong.

>>13653757

Tentacle rape just ends up seeming silly most of the time, so yeah, I'd agree with you.

>>13653757
>I mean, the tentacles are just abiding by their nature. They do nothing wrong.
You could say the same of men.

>>13653757
If it's not a human penis and sperm I just consider it the same as using a dildo. Same with using a condom, totally ruins the experience for me.

>>13653804
Are orcs dildos?

>>13653902
Well ok, maybe I meant humanoid rather than human. It's hard to explain it with words but my penis always knows.

>>13653804
I don't give a shit whether there is penis in vagina or not, I just want to watch lewd girls having lewd orgasms.

>>13655042
>if a girl demands you use a condom she's basically a slut

Is anyone else really bothered by fellatio scenes? After seeing too many images of horribly elongated sucking faces and dicks getting bit, I immediately skip through fella every time it comes up.

>>13654479
fuck off, you are everything wrong with eroge otaku and the reason why the medium is dying off

>>13655087
As long as the mouth isn't too elongated I'm fine.

>>13655166
Elongation correlates with sluttiness, so I actually like it a lot.

Wow, my face clenched up at this line. Couldn't help but think of poor Maria in Umineko.

>>13655087
I actually get turned by elonged sucking faces, so that's the opposite for me.

In fact, fellatio might be my favorite normalfag fetish due to that.

>>13655092
Can you explain your reason?

>>13655092
I was being sarcastic, but OK.

Fuck this shitter, this is the second time he's gotten rage and then bit my entire team to death in 2 consecutive turns just when I'm about to fucking win. There's absolutely nothing I can do about that shit.

>>13655381
He's probably saying that people wanting the MC and him alone to fuck every girl that ever appears in game are the reason why pretty much 90% of eroge follow the same pattern of single MC, X main girls, which honestly many times seems forced at best, and does get repetitive.
Though I think most people would be ok with multiple MCs as long as you get separate PoV, but it almost never happens.
>>13655416
Use the calm-down skill?

>>13655425
>Use the calm-down skill?
I do. I'm talking about when he has 2 turns one right after another thus I have no way of stopping it. I essentially just have to pray it doesn't happen but I have garbage luck so it would seem, since it happened to me 3 times already.

Don't you hate it when a spooky alien pops out of your porn game?

>>13655425
I think there is a variety of multi characters eroge though, I mean it's big enough for a tag on vndb.

>>13655712
>big enough for a tag on vndb.
Doesn't vndb have tag for every little shit?

>>13655735
It's getting very crowdy but no, not everything.

"Hehe I held hands with my TOTALLY POPULAR IN SCHOOL girlfriend and everyone gave me cold stares!! Geez what a bunch of jealous losers."

Of all the things that annoy me about eroge, this is one of them. Is this one of those japanese culture things? Because as far as I can tell, in the real world, nobody gives a fuck what a couple does or doesn't do unless they're practically having sex in public.

>>13655768
Your real world is usually not Japan, dude.

And even then it's a case of suspend your disbelief.

Then again I never hold hands with the school whore so I never know that feeling.

>>13655565
Wasn't there an alien in the first one?

>>13652504
One of the heroines goes kind of apeshit at some point.

>>13655806
If I played the first one, it was so long ago I don't remember shit.

I do remember the robot in the second one, though. Made for some silly-ass drama.

>>13655768
If it's a really popular girl then boys usually give a fuck here too.

>>13655768
Not that but I hate how the "Most beautiful girl in school, number 1 who you'd want as a bride, gets offers from lots of model studios and has a huge fan club" heroine falls in love with MC just for helping to carrying papers or something. Seriously what the fuck, she is that popular and no one even helps for carrying the motherfucking papers? Making such a heroine is easy as fuck and most of the games have at least one of this type, but when you cant even find a proper reason for making her MC's woman, it becomes pure shit.

Well there are some exceptions though, like Primal Hearts or Fureraba.

>>13655835
The alien was dressed in a pink bear costume for most of the game, if I remember correctly. There was also a robot in the first one.

>>13655868
Now that writing I cannot defend.

>>13655774
I misspoke. What annoys me isn't so much that it's implausible, but that it absolutely needs to happen every time there's any public display of affection in an eroge. Why is there a need to point it out every time? Is random amorous envy that common in japan that it needs to be mentioned lest people think it's odd that it wasn't?

It's like the thing where nobody ever just accepts a compliment like a normal person, or numerous other little annoyances. I know eroge aren't an accurate reflection of reality, but it really makes me feel as if Japan is a massively shitty place to live in if all this nonsense is in their idealized depictions of the world.

>>13655918
>It's like the thing where nobody ever just accepts a compliment like a normal person
That is definitely not just eroge exaggeration. But honestly it happens a lot where I live (Europe) too.

>>13655918
Japan is really conservative when it comes to public displays of affection. Even holding hands raises eyebrows in certain situation.

And not being able to take a compliment is absolutely a real thing for Japanese people. I live in Japan and can confirm.

>>13655918
I haven't played that much moege so I can't comment on these so-called issues.

>>13655918
Which eroge did you refer to? Primal Hearts?

Does anyone have copy or link for フォセット ～Cafe au Le Ciel Bleu～?
Individual and collection torrents are unseeded and animesharing is dead.

>>13655868
Care to give one example? I don't remember any eroge that I've played is that ridiculous.

Here's something else. When the MC narration outright tells you what someone's personality is like. 'Duhh girl-chan is a honour student but she can be childish at times, too!'

It's like these hack writers never heard of show, don't tell.

>>13656360
Check the Giga pack (詰め合わせ) torrent, pick フォセット and be patient. There's a lot of people that occasionally show up to seed that torrent.

>>13656452
Thats exactly what I did, just hoped that someone has game or direct link.

Why I keep getting slut in my moege?

>>13656400
I understand what you are saying, but that's just the MC's thought.

>>13644546
It stays untranslated since 2002, so you're evidently bullshitting.

>>13656599
Ah, yes, it didn't get a translation from a high schooler, an insane christian with heavy confirmation bias, or a japanese native with terribly stiff english. Good thing, isn't it? At least when you talk about it with someone else, you can be sure you and the other person read the same work.

>>13656609
Please don't reply to baits.

>>13656609
Not if their jap reading ability is shit, like most people here.

>>13656609
You didn't try to refute me, so I take it as my win.

She would be so much cuter if she were flat chested damn shame.

>>13656599
Do you really believe that not-translated = shit ?

I started Chaos;Head. Does it have a lot of videos? I prefer taking my time and the video at the beginning threw me off my pace.

>>13656692
Not really. I think there's that and one or two later on. It's been quite a while since I read it though.

>>13656682
If he does believe it then he's an EOP and his opinion on the matter is worth less than the bandwidth used to transmit it. If he doesn't believe it he's just trying to start shit. Is this really an argument worth having?

>>13656725
Alright, sounds reasonable. Thanks.

>>13656682
I never said that. Of course you can't tell it, because you can't read.

>>13656584
Japan is catching up on the cuck meme.

>>13656372
LovelyxCation 2 Wakoto comes to mind, even girls wants to get on her pants.

>>13656372
It seems to be a common anime trope (where they have fans cheering whenever the girl does something) but less common in eroge.

>>13656831
>LovelyxCation 2 Wakoto comes to mind, even girls wants to get on her pants.
This is pretty much the only one I've seen people complain about, but it's probably partially because LC2 is more popular and recent than other ones that do it.

>>13656584
It's fun to poke fun at kimo otas who complain about it. If I were an eroge writer my hand would be shaking in temptation to add a really slutty heroine to see the reaction from wotas, but then I would get scolded by management.

>>13657079
>really slutty heroine
You lack in subtlety and imagination, my friend. That's too out there. You don't even need that much to get a reaction from that kind of bunch.

You could instead, for example. make a heroine who's really proactive at getting sex from the MC, lively and enthusiastic during the H scenes. Maybe during some time where the main character can't keep her constantly satisfied for some reason or another, there are subtle hints that if she doesn't get it from the protagonist, she's willing to go look somewhere else.

Nothing of the sort actually happens, of course, even in a bad end. But if you're attentive, the implication is clearly there.

Something along those lines would draw fun reactions, I'm sure.. I think it might even be more effective than an outright slut heroine or stupid NTR crap.

>>13657251
Uwah. Sounds like a terrible game.

>>13657251
Isn't that just Hanasaki Cuckspring?

>>13657079
>but then I would get scolded by management.

this lack of creative freedom is exactly why moege are shit

>>13657397
That's not the management's fault, it's the audience's.

>>13657402
Didn't say it was the management's fault, though management can be pretty shit sometimes, to be fair. It's still killing eroge.

>>13657406
I just cant understand this logic, you dont even buy any shit and just complain about the people who gives lots of their moneys in this hobby, how about spending money on the "creative" games for you?

Seriously I cant understand looking down on those people just because they dont support what you like.

>>13657422
Hey, speak for yourself, I've even bought moege. (daitoshokan)

If you look around you'll realize that the medium as a whole is suffering from this hugely.

>>13657444
So what you're saying is people make stuff you don't like and they should stop doing so, because of course what you say is right?

There's plenty of room for writers to have creative freedom. It's piss easy to make a doujin game. It won't have the funding of a "mass" marketed game from a company, though. Give and take.

>>13657444
I also bought many games, (actually not that many, I have 12 at total) but what I meant to say that people here always crying how japs make a big deal about cheating & not being virgin etc and looks down on those buyers while most of them just wait until girlcelly uploads something. Instead of supporting the games they want, all they're doing is complaining like "I cant believe how those retards buying so much moege, they are killing eroge with all their virgin heroines and shit bla bla"

Those retards are the ones who are keeping eroge industry alive, its not like there are 10 million of eroge buyers anyway.

>>13657444
If the medium as a whole is suffering from this "hugely", it means that a "huge" part of customers don't want that kind of things in their games so companies have to be careful about it. Now lets put this on the numbers, 70% - 75% of the customers don't want cheating, ex boyfriend or that kind of things while 25-30 would be okay with that. And you are saying the "75%" is killing the eroge industry?

>>13657465
Most people would rather make something they know would sell rather than take a risk like that.

>>13657524
It's not really a risk if it's making something they want. Realizing their desires in a game is more important than sales.

>>13657495
Look for actual sales numbers, though they've become exceedingly hard to find, and then you'll start to see. Think of things from the point of view of the creators, not from the consumers, to understand what the people making eroge can do.

>>13657543
Why would I look from the point of view of the creators instead of the customers, even though I'm a customer itself? Yeah maybe they can't write whatever they had in their head and maybe they are getting forced to make something really simple istead of their plans, but that doesn't change anything. I just cant see a solution about it, so you are saying people should buy those kind of games even though they hate it and wont even play it, just for the sakes of creators? You know how much an eroge cost right? You're not buying breads dude, people cant buy something they dont like for that amount of money.

Also I'm pretty sure you can make great "creative" games without adding cheating, ex boyfriend or slut heroines. They are not restraining writers that much anyway if they know how they should make things right. Look at Alicesoft, All of their games have rapes, but since they're doing it right they don't have any problems with sales even though their games aren't even full voiced.

>>13657535
Unfortunately that's utterly impractical. One can't live off of solely passion, and even if they do manage it, it sure as hell isn't easy to do.

>>13657495
Nice numbers pulled out of your ass.
It's not that they're a huge part of costumers, it's just that they're obnoxious as fuck about it. The Japanese have a word specifically for them (処女厨).
For example there's a thread about non-virgin heroines in bbspink and it's been hijacked by crazy nuts spamming the thread with insults towards players who like non-virgin heroines and whine about how every writer who dares to think about doing this should leave the industry. I'm guessing not only writers are afraid about it now, but even other players.
Even if your numbers are hypothetically true (75%), where's the eroge aimed at that remaining 25%? Writers and companies are afraid of pandering to those players, and those players are afraid of asking for it.

>>13657634
>a thread about non-virgin heroines in bbspink and it's been hijacked by crazy nuts spamming the thread with insults towards players who like non-virgin heroines and whine about how every writer who dares to think about doing this should leave the industry.

まじかよ。。

>>13657634
>Nice numbers pulled out of your ass.
Do you seriously believe in that? Yeah I pulled that out of my ass, But if you would look at the sales or how the companies gets scared for making that kind of games you can understand how are they the bigger population. It doesn't matter if its 75% or 65%.

For the latter part, actually its not even that hard. With just 25% you cant gain any profit from a game since its not like all of them will insantly buy the game just for a slut heroine. Of course they are afraid of going bankrupt, did you think they are making art or something?

And if they are still want to add a slut or some non virgin heroines in a game, there are many different ways to do it. For example you can make like baseson or chusingura, mixing virgins and non virgins, in them there are some heroines who even have kids or have sex with different males. You can add a gameplay too, just look at eushully or alicesoft. If they dont want to do both of them, They can always make it mid - low priced, people are never complain about it unless its a full priced game. There are 3 different solutions for the creators & 25%, and I thought those in just one min. I'm sure they can find many different paths as well, but if they just force their way in full priced moeges there is no alternative than going bankrupt.

>>13657634
also 独占厨

it's been going downhill ever since the ELF incident

>>13657676
He obviously did not believe you since he said the numbers were pulled out of your ass

>>13657676
>Of course they are afraid of going bankrupt, did you think they are making art or something?

Going bankrupt sounds pretty artistらしい honestly.

>>13657694
And good VNs are art, and they do struggle financially with a few exceptions like the independently-funded liarsoft.

>>13657700
"Good VNs" are VNs that I like.

If we lived under full socialism this wouldn't be happening......。。。

>>13657688
Well yeah I figured that much.

>>13657703
are you gonna argue that things are good if they're popular

have you ever listened to pop music

>>13657713
I do not represent popular opinion.

>>13657543
You wouldn't last a day in the business if you think that. What value is there in a product that customers won't buy?

>>13657634
Do you mean a niche market within a niche market? That 25% wouldn't be profitable enough.

Why do you guys discuss Marketing ? You suck at that you know.

>>13658382
There's always that guy who complains about the minority of obnoxious virginlosers, who despite being a minority, manage to control the market via sales.

And it always comes down to that Elf incident where it's debunked again and again.

>>13657634
If writers are afraid of little internet whiners, then they only have themselves to blame.

>>13657708
Yeah, let's have quotas instead of giving people what they want.

>>13658417
Yeah, let's blame the bullied instead of the bully. He lets himself get bullied!

>>13658417
Yeah, looks like 3 threads with hanasaki cuckolding wasn't enough for you?

>>13658485
These are fucking words man.

Words on the internet.

It's not like the virginlosers are raiding their office with AK and point them to do this, do that.

>>13658497
You because social networks are not relevant at all right?

>>13658494
Honestly, no, it's an interesting shistorm to behold.

And everyone go on with their lives, virginlosers included.

>>13658414
They don't do it via sales specifically, they do it via aggressive bad publicity which affects the public view of the company and sales.

>>13658497
You're underestimating the power of words on the Internet in this time and age.

>>13658502
No, I don't think they are relevant, much less than sale charts.

And even if they are, that's entirely their freedom of speech.

>>13658505
>freedom of speech
That doesn't fly when you start bullying people.

>>13658497
If words on the Internet weren't relevant stealth marketing wouldn't exist. There have been cases of it on 2ch and EGS.

>>13658505
Gee... Ok then, companies just waste their time with social networks, I get it.

>>13658502
If you can't function outside a hugbox, you should not have a social media account.

>>13658504
Honestly, you are not convincing me.

"Bad publicity" here means mean posts on the internet, that's their basic right of customer to speak shit.

And no, honestly, all evidences point to them in dominating in sales, moege with virgin-only are dominating the market in quantity.

>>13658507
"Internet bullying" is not a fucking crime, last I check.

>>13658511
They can do whatever they want on social networks, but the customers can also do the same.

This "no bully" is horseshit.

>>13658519
You musn't check very hard then, because it actually is.

>>13658514
It's clearly not just the words on the internet then, if they're also selling.
If companies are experiencing more sales doing something, then they will produce more of it regardless of what's being spewed on the internet.

>>13658507
Are you claiming companies are being bullied? Because against the popular belief, companies are not people. It's not some big shot PR guy who runs those twitter accounts, it's mostly interns and 'social media experts'.

>>13658525
Holy damn.

I just check, this basically comes down to "hate speech", you can't say mean things anymore.

>>13658507
"Freedom of speech except when it hurts my feelings"
love it

>>13658532
But what they are going to do?

Outlaw bad reviews? Outlaw swear words?

>>13658510
Viral marketing has been a thing since forever.

But it works both ways, against determined individuals like virginlosers, it doesn't mean shit.

>>13658547
Nice baseless asumption. Customer insights would suggest otherwise.

>>13658554
That's what I'm saying though.

Determined individuals like virginlosers (who are diehard to buy only things they like) are unphased by viral marketing because they don't follow trends or memes.

>>13658531
I read up on the other post, and he did say that the virginlosers bullied the other normal players from buying the games.

It honestly seems ridiculous to me, internet people telling internet people how to live their life.

>>13658576
How does that even work? "I'll shitpost on your twatter if you make a purchase I have no control over and can't actually tell if you did!"

>>13658603
>>13657655

>>13658615
That's not honestly very different from a thread on /v/ or the like, where you can just get shit on for just liking something.

Do non-virgin losers have incredible thin-skin or what?

>>13658615
So it's not like they're doing it personally, but they just shitpost in threads about things they don't like? That's not what I would consider bullying.

Either ways, even if eroge devs "suffer", I would not stand for infringement on freedom of speech because "how dare these people not buy things they don't like?"

If people like Ryu7 (and original Nasu) can be successful by making indie games, there's no stopping these devs from making an indie game by themselves, without caring about sales or money.

>>13658646
How is saying "stop going apeshit every time someone makes something you don't like" an infringement on freedom of speech? I'm talking, of course, about Japanese otas.

>>13658661
Because it's basically amounting to "stop saying mean things".

You can't stop them, it's entirely their right to say mean things bout things they don't like.

And japanese otas are people too.

>>13658661
>>13658676
I wouldn't call telling someone to shut the fuck up an 'infringement of free speech'. People have the right to bitch about people bitching about shit just as much as they have the right to bitch about shit in the first place.

>>13658693
You are free to tell them to shut up though.

I would agree to that. But the moment you start banning them, or outlawing them for saying mean things, that's a problem.

>>13658696
Nobody is really planning that as far as I know. A lot of eroge discussion takes place in 2ch and the like anyway.

>>13658704
All's fair in love and war is all I'm saying.

The problem is not the virginlosers, the problem is the non-virginlosers who apparently stop buying games because virginlosers tell them not to, if that's even real. I still have trouble believing that.

>>13658720
It's not.

>>13658646
They were lucky, a good deal of "original" doujins don't get attention.

>>13658790
They were good. Show me a doujin game with the quality of Tsukihime that didn't get attention.

>>13658797
EOP kun please.

>>13658797
その光その翼～アザトースの遺産～
時函 -Time Capsule-
灯穂奇譚 (not that great, but much better than tsukihime)

>>13658803
I can't argue with the first one, but it should be clear why the other two didn't get as much attention. Keep in mind Ryu7 and Nasu both wrote action/mystery games.

>>13658790
Good niche ones tend to make the rounds in their circles as the eroge community is not that huge. The thing is, a lot of doujins are shit and thus are soon forgotten.

Also, if an established writer or artist were to make a project of their own, that would get attention. I think such cases actually exist, though I can't name any off the top of my head at the moment.

>>13658803
Those games sure have nice production values even if they are doujin.

If I'm to understand this, did only 54 people buy this game? That's insane.

>>13658828
I'm not falling for that.

>>13658832
Played Symphonic Rain and I wouldn't say it's vanilla out of virtue that they incorporate a music game in it.

>>13658851
I have a feeling that a decent number of those 54 aren't Japanese.

>>13658860
Even so, 54 is immensely low for a game people put so much obvious effort into. I bite my words. Doujin is a dog-eat-dog world....

Are you all butthurt chinks in here? Reading this thread makes me think no other group of people can be so hung up about Japanese social practices and its people as much as you dog eaters.

>>13658866
We are just appreciating their culture, anon.

I think I see their problem.

>>13658880
This, them nigga just need go on another step.

>>13658864
It's hard to get the word out when you don't have any kind of marketing budget.

>>13658891
Word of mouth entirely carried Tsukihime, as far as I'm aware.

>>13658891
They can viral, man.

>>13658851
So a game which has somewhat decent art but no ero with a rather generic sounding plot and maybe two hours worth of content doesn't sell? Colour me surprized.

>>13658895
Yeah well this isn't 2001 anymore. These days, you have to have a pretty website and have ads in the usual places to garner even an ounce of initial attention.

>>13658825
LovelyxCation 2 and PurexConnect or Eiyuu Senki Gold for gameplay

>>13658895
>>13658898
They probably did try, but getting people interested is hard. 50 people is not an awful number for a circle's first (and only) game.

>>13658917
Nothing on the all ages side of DLsite sells.

>>13658922
Those had history by virtue of being offshoots of their more famous parent companies (Littlewitch, Akatsuki Works). Maybe if you mentioned JQV, but what else came after that?

>>13658926
I haven't played it myself, but it looks unique enough to interest people.

>>13658932
Yep. The all ages market is barely existent in the first place.

I've learned so much about animals and their penises. Thanks, Touma.

>>13658943
No it has a market but not on PC, console VNs tends to sell pretty well.

>>13658935
From the description it seems like somewhat generic short doujin. The VNDB page looks ten times more interesting than their store page.

>>13658965
That's true, but I was referring to the PC market. Still, it's considerably smaller than the 18+ PC market and only certain kinds of things tend to sell, like things based on franchises. Even on that market games based on a PC game with extra content are big, mostly because they draw a lot of fans of the original game.

However, getting a doujin out on consoles is hard (if not impossible) as digital distribution isn't an option (at least most of the time).

>>13658994
Well some people are recurring to steam for that, though im not sure if steam will helps them get any revenue because of Valve´s 30% cut.

>>13659001
Too bad Steam's japanese game market is a joke. Statistic-wise they don't seem to have any real draw.

>>13658994
That also depends on the company though, For example I'm pretty sure that if august makes an all ages game like their old Yoake Mae, it'd sell well regardless of h-scenes. Another example is Baseson's Sengoku Koihime, even though it had more than 40 heroine and 40 different seiyuus they still made a good profit from it and they'll milk it like koihime musou series now, means that it sold really well.

Or you can count Typemoon games etc, as long as your company have some good solid customers being all ages or 18+ doesn't really matter, though making it 18+ will increase sales more. But of course if they are new to eroge industry it will hit really hard.

August does their console/all ages ports, but I think all their games have at least an original 18+ edition.

Baseson's Sengoku Koihime is a strange case. They probably got a lot of the Koihime Musou fanbase in on it as well as fans of the VAs. I'm not aware of it getting sequel or fandisc however and from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be that popular despite having relatively high scores.

As for type moon, have they made anything in in a long time? There was that PSP game (EXTRA and the sequel to that) but those were gameplay focused.

>As for type moon, have they made anything in in a long time?
Mahoyo. No voice, no ero and no choices for "immersion". It surely sank deeply into my recycle bin, dropped the franchise as a whole too.

>>13659199
I completely forgot about that. Do we have any information on how it did?

>>13659152
Yeah All of August's games have an original +18 version, what I meant to say that even if they release their next game as an all ages I dont think their sales would decrease very much. They have solid customers who don't care what is the title or game's description, they'll just buy it since its from august.

Sengoku Koihime is getting an extended version at the december, and most likely a FD after that. They might make even more of it. I dont really know how much is it popular on 2ch or platforms like that, but since they have made 20-30 different goods based on it and still making new goods for a 2-3 years old game, I think its pretty popular. I mean there should be some buyers if they are still making new t-shirts, bags, posters etc for it. Though I'm not sure why someone would wear a t-shirt which have a heroine's picture.

Well baseson is a strange company anyway so we shouldn't consider them as a standard situation. Currently they're selling Koihime Eiyuutan as a low priced game, even though each one of them has 15-20 different heroines / VAs (and they are not amateur at all, almost all of them are from the original cast) and 20-25 h-scenes. Most of full priced eroge companies dont have that much cast and amount of h-scenes.

Typemoon, well I'm still waiting tsukihime remake from them. I enjoyed their lastest work Mahoutsukai no Yoru as well, and I'm pretty sure if they can ever make something new it will sell like hot cakes regardless of being all ages or not. Their problem is making a game per 10 years. I guess they dont need money so they dont even bother with making something.

>>13659234
I'm pretty sure Baseson has more money than god at this point from all the merc they're selling. That, or they have bunch of VAs on cheap contracts for who knows how long. Sengoku Koihime is fascinatingly strange case in general, having larger cast than necessary with seemingly no other reason than to have them (and maybe sell merc) along other things.

I'm not actually sure how loyal August's fanbase is. Sure, they're well known but I don't remember ever seeing anyone really hyped up for their next release like you'd see a Baseson fan be, for an example.

Typemoon is a case of huge popularity and brand recognition to the point of drawing attention outside the usual eroge people. That's apparent even here if you take a look around different boards. You can occasionally see a fate/typemoon thread on pretty much any board.

>I'm not actually sure how loyal August's fanbase is. Sure, they're well known but I don't remember ever seeing anyone really hyped up for their next release like you'd see a Baseson fan be, for an example.

Their games are pretty much always bestsellers. Even if their friends don't go crazy online, doesn't mean their aren't hyped.

>>13659314
Strange. I never actually realized their games were that popular. They always seemed to blend in with all the other well known companies. Now that I'm actually looking at their catalog, I can see why they would have a following, even though most of them are things I personally have no interest in. That's probably why I never paid that much attention to them.

>>13659345
Give Eustia a try, it's different from the rest of their titles.

>>13659352
I'll put it in my backlog. I remember the trial being somewhat interesting but it was one of those games where I liked the ideas behind it more than I liked the execution so I never bothered playing the full version.

>>13658935
Don't play it, it ends on a horrible cliffhanger and no news of a sequel since forever

>>13658860
I was the third person to buy it on DLsite and actually tried to stema it a bit around here so that's probably true

Just this game alone show that doujin sale is a question of luck and timing

Also
http://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ146618.html
Pretty solid low fantasy stuff
http://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ107746.html
Chuuni battle royal + yuri

>>13659443
How do you find anything from DLsite? I like doujin games but most of the stuff on Maniax is cheap nukige (which have served me well to be fair), fanfiction of some kind (a lot of which is also the former) or just low quality (which seems to be even more prominent in the normal site). The fact that their tags vary from inconsistent to undescriptive doesn't help.

>>13659443
>http://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ146618.html

This one seems cool, what's it like?

>>13659493
I just try what catch my eyes
For example I was the first person to buy this
http://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ151753.html
And ended up liking it quite a bit despite the deviantart level art

But yeah there is a lot of shit, usually I can guess if something will be solid 10 minutes into a trial

>>13659508
Low fantasy played from the pov of a girl who try to find an artefact that was pillaged from her village and a mute knight who can use a special power
It's pretty solid and the only eroge I saw that portrayed western medieval warfare

>>13659443
>no news of a sequel since forever

They posted on their BBS a month ago or so

Wow, this and Nier 2, these days have been full of surprises.

SonoSono has a lot of potential and I am excited to see a a sequel but they really need to work a lot on its pacing

>>13659527
What is Ritterorden actually about? The site says jack shit.

>>13659595
Try the individual episodes
http://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ082400.html

>>13658866
Because they control the market, duh.

>>13659443
Are both of those yuri or does the first one just neglect to introduce the guys?

>>13659666
The first one has a lot of male characters, see the individual episodes for the cast

Second is light yuri with an all female cast

>>13658825
played evenicle?

>>13658825
Magical Charming for your mega-dose of sugar.
Twinkle Crusaders if you'd like gameplay with your sugar dose.
Lovely x Cation 2 if you prefer a more real-world setting with zero drama.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKK
It's never going to be released is it?

I want to start Baldr Sky, does Dive2 contain Dive1? If so, should I download and start it directly?

>>13660152
No, you need to download both then start from bs2 because it'll ask you if you wish to import bs1.
But you can't uninstall it because it takes everything from it, except the videos, because 4gbs in ending videos is obviously important.

>>13660159
Ok, thank you.

new thread when

>>13660194
Not for another 5 pages.

>>13660196
why need to wait 5 page?

>>13660201
It's going to take hours for this one to fall off. There's no point in making a new one before then.

>>13658860
I was one who actually bought it.

I kind of feel sorry for whoever gets hired.
First, the fans are gonna be mad because it's definitely getting delayed.
Whoever gets hired will be overworked to hell as well to try and meet release date/keep it as close as possible.
Then whoever is doing the scripting is going to have that pressure of doing it well, bug-less, and surely some bugs will slip through because of the rush. Then the game is going to be scripted incorrectly and be shit.

Makura wins the fucking retarded prize for this though:

At least there might be a crazy fan that's been waiting all this time that complies with the requirements, since they're not that stringent. Hell, I would take the job just to finally see Sakura no Uta out, but I don't live in Tokyo.

>>13660477
So September delay?

>>13660530
Who knows. If they actually bug-test, it might be longer.

>>13660477
Come ON Makurasoft.
Did their staff run out on them or something?

>>13660477
It's Sakura no Uta we're talking about. The game that's been in development since literally 2004. What's another month or two?

And yeah, I'd apply but the commute would be a bit much for me.

>>13660477
>>13661633
They wouldn't hire you baka gaijin.

>>13661633
>>13661633
Not to be utterly retarded but what's the big fuss over this game? I understand there's quite a few big names attached to it, but it seems to be a rather ordinary scenario and setting. Or is it expected to be more than meets the eye?

From what I've gathered it seems more like eroge's Half-Life 3.

>>13661685
>Or is it expected to be more than meets the eye?
This basically. According the writer there's going to be some weird shit like in SubaHibi, but without all the darker stuff like denpa, rape, suicide, drugs etc.

>>13661694
Oh, then in that case I just didn't read between the lines well enough. Thanks.

>>13661694
So SubaHibi without all the interesting stuff?

>>13661685
It's intended as a followup to Subahibi. Even just watching the OP there's references to like a dozen different authors, and Scaji has been hyping the shit out of it on Twitter. If you've played Subahibi, there's no way you're not going to be excited for it.

>>13661694
>>13661685
The scenario writer for games like Euphoria and Kuroinu is also working on it, so that's something to consider.

>>13661739
Only one route though. And it's for the worst girl (going off of the basically irrelevant 2008 trial).

Started Aoiro Rinne some hours ago. This must be one of the biggest hetare MCs I've seen. Pretty weird title so far though, not really sure what to think of it yet.

>>13661809
Seems like a good fellow to me

>>13661809
Seems denpa from the synopsis. Picked up.

>>13661923
Care to explain? I'm not seeing any denpa.

Finished Carnival. It's pretty good.

Considering the subject material, it actually feels lighthearted for most of it. It's actually funny. That being said, when things actually happen in the game there is no real feeling to it, it just kind of happens then it's over. It's like Manabu has no sense of reality and is just going with the flow, but I think this is the point.

It references a lot of novels and poems including 山羊の歌、病牀六尺、金色夜叉.

I think Risa's VA was pretty bad. A lot of times when she was supposed to be shouting was just in a slightly raised voice. It also has Hikaru in it which was surprising, and that bully from yume miru kusuri, her character is completely different.

The art is very bright and colorful and there are a lot of event CGs.

It has interesting themes and it's enjoyable. The first scenario is easily the funnest thing I've read for a long time.

>>13661975
Doesn't the protagonist sound denpa to you? He seems like he has a few screws loose, unless that sort of protagonist is considered normal now.

>>13661990
I remember the description of the first fellatio in the game, it was hilarious
>you are going to partake in a historical tradition spanning millenia
or something like that.

>>13662002
>millenia
I wonder when blowjobs were invented.

>>13662000
He seemed more like just a depressed hetare protagonist from the synopsis.
He might be mentally unstable, but having brain problems doesn't automatically qualify for denpa.

>>13662027
Before the wheel, probably.

>>13662039
>having brain problems doesn't automatically qualify for denpa
Suffering from madness/insanity is definitely one of the main requirements though.

>>13662055
Is he really insane though? He just seems like he wants to kill himself.

Also, if a character is clearly insane to the rest of the characters and to the reader without any prior spoilers it's not really denpa since the strangeness and horror factor of it is taken away.
