>>14972801
As always, from japanese guy who doesn't want to share it except certain irc channel due to risk of being vanned.

>>14972806
Well, that's not exactly a torrent.

Got my copy of Maitetsu. Unfortunately I don't have a drive to put the disc in so I'll just have to buy one or wait and download it with the rest of you guys. Need to finish Natsuha's route anyway, so probably won't be starting it for a few weeks (will be busy playing SO5 when it is out next thurs).

Got it at Sofmap, first time buying an eroge. The bag they give you has advertisements for Floral Flowlove and 千恋＊万花 (they ask you if you are OK with that bag). Then it seems they put in a bunch of other advertisements in it, got a 15 page full colour "First Review Book" for ナツイロココロログ, a 恋クマ FD bookmark and some other stuff.

Considering the contents of what I've got I can say that I'm glad I live half the world away from my family. Now to decide where to put things, will have to avoid having loli nipples in plain site or I'll end up just spending all my time fapping.

Ended up getting another clear file in the lottery. Wonder if I'll ever get a decent prize.

Is this a nukige or what? It should make up if it wants to be a scenario-ge or a nukige.

>>14972858
You can change it to one of a dozen others if you want, but I don't see a need to.

>>14972865
It's definitely not a nukige. The number of h-scenes is pretty normal moege territory.

So, オモカゲ is first denuvo game or it will be xCation?

There is a download version? DMM?

>>14972968
For Monobeno there is a DMM serial code.
Maitetsu has a L.A.C. card, uses a service called buddy.

http://www.lose.jp/official/buddymanual

>>14972953
Any chance you could put it on mega?
It's not traceable

>>14972996
Unfortunately it uses Buddy, so you'll need a L.A.C. code to play it even if you do download it.

Anyone can access the download link, anyway (or so I think)
http://183.182.44.212/dl_card/lose/01/01/download.html

>>14973021
Does the game access buddy everytime or only for the installation?
Because otherwise the easy way would be to simply share the game folder

>>14973030
Buddy is hardware-bound, it needs re-activation on different PC.

>>14973030
It runs buddy every time.

>>14973021
Is it possible to buy a L.A.C code on the net?

Hataraku Otona was protected by Buddy too, anisharing guy hacked it easily on first day of release.

>>14973041
>>14973056
The Maitetsu disc itself has no protection at all, so you just need to wait for one of the uploaders to get their hands on it.

>>14853608
I followed your advice, many thanks, anon.

Just got home too from the talk show. Sorry for the /blog/ but I'll try to just tell the important or obvious points about the talk show.

>>14972942
>>14972855
Got mine from Traders. Also lined up on that lottery thing on Sofmap and got a shitty clear file for drawing a white ball. I'm surprised by the number of people lining up at release.

>>14973051
It's the best.

There's not much in the talk show.

>cura (the artist) prefers long skirts
>Fukami also best girl (according to him)
>Half the the time of the talk show is about Monobeno
>so what if we turn Sumi into a meek girl (Fukami)
>Scenario writer wanted to write a Monobeno Girl's Side
>Rock paper scissors where everyone participates
>Fandisc inevitable due to sub-characters popularity (I think most points to Fukami, Nagi, and Makura)
>Navi route when

I think I missed some others but that's what I remembered. At least I got an autograph from the Fukami and Nagi VA, the scenario writer, and the artist.

Also new Purple software game and as mentioned from the previous thread, Island anime.

>>14972439
next year maybe, with Schwarzesmarken and the kickstarter now it would be obviously pushed back.

>>14973113
Damn, pretty good. I guess I should have applied for the talk too.

I saw Nagi's VA on a different event and she was pretty nice.

So next month I'm moving to Japan, is torrenting safe in there? Do I really need a vpn to pirate porn game?

>>14973336
If you ever tweet at mimasu, he will send police after you, but just downloading should be fine.

>>14973336
>>14973354

>>14973369
He's not wrong, but considering how piracy works, he should focus on preventing it on his own side - making good games and giving good extras.

Why do you think Lose had a super long line for Maitetsu's lottery event? Because they made buying it worth it.

And besides, I don't think Akabeisoft president can cry too much, Hatarakaku Otona was the best seller in January, wasn't it?

>>14973068
Can confirm this. I just installed from the disc and started playing it.

>>14973257
You didn't miss much but it was a pleasure talking to the staff there during the autograph signing. They were surprised by a big gaijin among the crowd, asked me where I come from, small talks, etc. cura's probably the shyest among them.

>>14973336
Most attention goes to the uploaded anime and manga. I've downloaded some VNs when I started living here and no troubles yet. Been buying them ever since.

>>14973385
>but considering how piracy works, he should focus on preventing it on his own side - making good games and giving good extras.
Pretty much this. The best form of DRM for me is making a product that's actually worth buying and supporting the company over. Putting "uncrackable" DRM on a mediocre moege I'm unlikely to spend much money (if any money) on just makes me read something else instead, not buy it.

>>14973386
>You didn't miss much but it was a pleasure talking to the staff there during the autograph signing.

I already had a chance to talk to the writer before on a different event, which was pretty nice.

Was the producer (to-san) also on your event? He certainly doesn't look like someone I'd guess works in the eroge industry.

All this hype around Maitetsu has really driven it home that "moe" makes me really uncomfortable. Everyone's hype about Maitetsu, and it looks really good... but I just can't bring myself to read it, because the vast majority of it is the same manufactured moe and pandering in every other moe game, you know? I'm not above moe, I'm not too smart for it or cultured or whatever, it just makes me uncomfortable. To read a novel where the characters are designed from ground up to be cute and appeal to people looking for cute. To read a novel written primarily to serve as a medium to railroad the reader through moe scenes and then tidily hand them H-scenes. It feels so fake, I can't get behind it. Maybe it's just that I've read SO MANY moe games now, that I can't see Maitetsu as anything but as a teenager might see a mall santa: Good in heart, but commercial and fake through and through.

It took years of playing them, but now, moe games are no longer sources of cute heartwarming friendship, but manufactured discomfort, to me.

>>14973408
Don't almost all VNs have moe elements?

>>14973403
>Was the producer (to-san) also on your event?

He just stayed in the back of the audience. Probably seeing as the writer, the VAs, and the artist seemed to be the main focus of the event.

>>14973408
>Good in heart, but commercial and fake through and through.
Good thing I see myself as a teenager might see a mall santa. Maybe you're just burned out. Nothing wrong with commercial because that's about every industry ever. Also have you at least tried the trial?

I just wish all the developers would just put their games on DL sites.
I wouldn't mind paying for Maitetsu really but fuck importing it in my country, I don't want to go to jail

At least Akeiro and Jeanne are in DMM so I can buy them

>>14973021
You could try replacing the protected .exe with one from the trial or monobeno. It might work, I know it does for some games because VN engines are like that.

>>14973408
I understand what you mean, although I haven't read Maitetsu yet. Before I used to read and watch moe stuff without any issues, but as of late it doesn't really inspire that "moe" protective, heart-warming feeling in me anymore even if they look cute. Maybe because the majority of the time they don't feel like actual characters but just a bunch of traits thrown together to appease otaku (note I'm not saying there's anything wrong with appealing to them). But for me to grow close to characters they have to have personality, which a lot of these moe characters tend to lack.

>>14973386
Feel like uploading the exe+sig to see if that's enough to run the DL version from >>14973021 ?

>>14973432
>Nothing wrong with commercial because that's about every industry ever.
Ahhh, well, I see what you mean, just about every VN is sold after all, but there's a lot of VNs I see and don't get this "fake" feeling at all. VNs that do seem they were written as artistic expression first and foremost, or at least the expression was morphed to be commercial but didn't become fake moe to hook buyers.
>Also have you at least tried the trial?
I got some ways into it but I couldn't finish it, like I said, felt really uncomfortable before I even downloaded it.
>>14973431
The distinction I'm seeing is "characters made to be moe in a game about moe" vs "characters with a primary narrative purpose being moe at points in the narrative". I don't think you could look at Maitetsu and say that the characters were designed with a narrative in mind. I think Maitetsu may end up having a strong narrative, will have to wait for the full game, but even then it'd be a strong narrative drenched in manufactured moe constantly taking the spotlight.
>>14973459
>Maybe because the majority of the time they don't feel like actual characters but just a bunch of traits thrown together to appease otaku
I know exactly what you mean. Putting aside actually high quality games like Maitetsu, mass-produced moe games are seriously pathetic in characterization. They're almost indistinguishable from nukige, that's how bad it gets.

>>14973486
I think it's interesting how Maitetsu had merchandise up even before we knew the plot, characters, or even the title of the game itself. I felt kind of uncomfortable at that, like they were already whoring out their characters.

>>14973517
They were selling based on trust Lose earned from Monobeno -happy end-.

August is also selling tapestries with Sen no Hatou characters already.

>>14973524
I remember an anon here buying the tapestry for his Sen no Hatou waifu. When asked how he knew she was going to be his favourite, he responded that he could already tell what her character would be just from her design. That really struck me.

I also think it's a bit meaningful, that the trust Lose earned went to purchased anime girl merchandise, I kind of feel like that's what I mean, that Maitetsu is more "cute anime girl merchandise" than a meaningful story with meaningful characters.

>>14973540
>Maitetsu is more "cute anime girl merchandise" than a meaningful story with meaningful characters.

Maitetsu is the writer's tract on his love for railroads and trains. And the artist's picture tract on his love for lolis and pissing.

And yes, I firmly believe Hotori-chan will be the best Sen no Hatou girl, but in the end I abstained from getting her tapestry just yet. Surely there'll be a better chance on summer Comiket.

>>14973540
We will see. Maitetsu looks like it's going to be good but I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as I did monobeno, part of the reason being what you stated above, even if the girls themselves are appealing and the story is interesting.

>>14973524
They haven't sold any H-stuff yet for Sen no Hatou, or at least I haven't seen it yet. Not that it matters. I just think we're gotten quite shallow if we'll put down hundreds of dollars on merchandise that has a cute and/or naked girl on it, because we can. And the cycle repeats every few months. People are free to spend their money on whatever they want, but we're not much different from the fools who buy every newest reiteration of the iPhone and forget all about it as soon as something newer and shinier comes along.

>>14973540
Yeah, but I'll still have to wait for the full game to be uploaded before I start. I hope we're mistaken.

>>14973554
I recently had a bad experience with あの晴れわたる空より高く, it may have been written with the authors love for rockets but holy hell were the character interactions and the girls themselves painfully artificial. Well, to me at least. It was like the love of rockets having a fake moe girl tortilla wrapped around it, and to get to it you have start chewing.
>>14973562
I don't doubt it's going to be good, all this maitetsu posting and its mass marketing just really made me face how uncomfortable it made me. At the very least it will be a shining example of moe in comparison to raw garbage like 恋する気持ちのかさねかた.

>>14973578
You just needs to control yourself, so you don't end up like the last guy from this video (40:00 onwards).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szhEIStK8FQ

I mean, at some level I respect him, but once he starts pulling multiple copies of the same game he bought to get different store extras, a bag of games he bought the previous month and didn't open it, tapestries he only looked at once and keeps them rolled and shelves full of games he says he never got a chance to play, you can tell he's going too far.

>>14973590
>It was like the love of rockets having a fake moe girl tortilla wrapped around it, and to get to it you have start chewing.

This kind of thing makes me uncomfortable as well, even though I completely understand it. They have to sell a game and you sell eroge based on girls primarily unless you've got the top names in writing or VAs. No one would buy a game that's just a pretty pictures documentary about some topic the writer loves. It does however make me feel like games that could be a "break" of sorts from the usual fare are wasted on aspects the writers are not strong at and therefore end up mediocre or outright bad.

>>14973614
What's wrong? He seems happy enough. It's not like he's poor, he's clearly making good money.

>>14973540
Because most eroge these days sell company trust and whatever marketing assets (artwork, big-name staff) they have as opposed to the actual story. They need you to want the game before it's out, to preorder it because the moments it's on the streets, it's available in second-hand shops for half the price and that IMO is a much worse problem than piracy.

Company trust is essentialy what made Yuzusoft the giant it is now - you know you're getting Murikobu art, lots of moe and a speck of plot - so it's nothing to sneeze at.

>>14973675
Yeah, I said I respect it, living happily like you want is something I see as good, but pointless excess isn't ever a good idea.

>>14973680
Yeah, that's what I mean. I'm not sneezing at it, just pointing to it as indicative of what makes me so unenthusiastic about the game.

>>14973692
Think of it the other way: every year, there are 2~3 dark horses nobody counted on that turn out to be honest-to-god good games, or at least better than what were they sold as. It's more fun being surprised.

https://vndb.org/v10001
This is a prime example, as I don't think anybody expected for Yatagarasu to produce a decent, fairly innovative story-driven game with it's dying breath, not after such masterpieces as Tentacle Lord.

>>14973736
I still need to get a vita to play the port of that.

>>14973736
It is a weird cycle, isn't it? You wish there were more dark horse out-of-nowhere pleasant surprises, but they can only exist because there's so much generic shlock. The more pleasant surprises there are the less of a surprise they are and the less pleasant they feel.

And you can't search them out either, because then you're expecting it to be a pleasant surprise which fucks with your expectations and will usually produce a letdown. So you have to pretend like everything's gonna be terrible.

Liking things is actually kinda complicated.

>>14973459
>Maybe because the majority of the time they don't feel like actual characters but just a bunch of traits thrown together to appease otaku
I often feel the same. Heroines in plotge usually end up being a lot more memorable because they're characters first and heroines second. The reason, why f.ex. Muramasa heroines are so memorable is because they have their own ideals, goals and also faults that aren't just suddenly overwritten by the power of love.

Conversely heroines in moege usually exist in a vacuum and revolve around the protagonist's dick. I know that you can't really run from this since the games are obviously supposed to be about dating cute girls and I'm not saying that no moege has memorable heroines, but there's only so many times you can recycle the same heroine, setting, humor or relationship development archetypes before they get stale.

>>14973590
>あの晴れわたる空より高く
I dropped the game for the exact same reasons. If you disregard the abnormal amount of infodump on rocket development the whole game felt like just the same as any high school club / festival project fare with cliche heroines.

>Heroines in plotge usually end up being a lot more memorable because they're characters first and heroines second

And often it happens so that when you try giving the heroine agency, she ends up getting backlash from wota. Yuuna from Kanishino springs to mind, IIRC she was the least popular heroine even though I thought her route was was really cleverly written.

Then again I don't get the Takehaya age Marutani sage when it comes to that game.

>>14973804
Because Sumika and Misaki's routes were crap and the other three were really good romance routes that played well with the heroine in question.

>>14973817
What? Takehaya's routes were borderline unreadable and both Sumika's and Misaki's were way more entertaining than anything in his half of the game, even if they weren't on the same level as Yuuna's. I don't understand how anyone can unironically say that they even enjoyed the routes marutani didn't write in that game to be completely honest.

>>14973834
And I can't understand how you couldn't enjoy Miyabi or Shino's route, they blew the fuck out of Sumika's and Misaki's

>. I don't understand how anyone can unironically say that they even enjoyed the routes marutani didn't write in that game to be completely honest
That's like the most common opinion ever about Kanishino
Or what do you think everyone who played Kanishino and enjoyed Takehaya's routes are just trolling you?

>>14973804
>Yuuna from Kanishino springs to mind, IIRC she was the least popular heroine even though I thought her route was was really cleverly written.
I guess people didn't like her route almost veering into NTR territory (though later it's revealed she's still a virgin) more than the other twists, which in my opinion were a little too easy to guess as well. Like seriously, did the writer expect the player to find it surprising that Yuuna's friend (I don't remember her name anymore) was actually a nice person when one of the interludes spoils it or Yuuna doing business when the protagonist mistakes the stock price screen for a video game she's playing? I liked her route to be sure, but not more than the first three.

>>14973834
>I don't understand how anyone can unironically say that they even enjoyed the routes marutani didn't write in that game to be completely honest.
Might be just the case of me getting tired with the game, since like I've said before in previous threads the drama surrounding the protagonist got stale after a while because it's repeated in all the routes apart from Yuuna's, in which it's just handwaved away.

Sumika's in particular was annoying because of both her and the protagonist being indecisive bitches, though I liked the main twist of her parents actually caring for her since unlike Yuuna's friend's twist it was more subtly foreshadowed. Misaki's route on the other hand was almost completely devoid of drama since unlike the other girls she didn't have troubles of her own, though it fleshing out the reason behind the protagonist's trauma could have been nice if it hadn't already been talked to death in the previous routes. Maybe my experience of the game would've been different if I had played through the parts written by Marutani first.

>>14973951
I did Marutani first, then Takehaya, my order was Sumika-Misaki-Yuuna-Tonoko-Shino-Misaki
I definitely enjoyed Takehaya's side more, no question

>>14972207
For me that novel look like crap. I didnt like much of the anime, I dont expect much of the visual novel + it doesnt even have H scenes.

>>14974012
It's a chinese VN pirate site, where you have to get a VIP account to get some popular games like Akiero
Apparently, somebody took that 'VIP only game' and posted on sukebei, and now they are pissed

So I have to redo 2050 again?
Do different choices pop up or what?

あけいろ怪奇譚 and 時を紡ぐ約束 got released by the way. Now give Maitetsu too and march releases will be over for me.

>>14974012
Forum where chink subhumans hold games hostage.

>>14973951
>spoiler
Oh yeah there was that almost-incest thing. It's been a while since I read Kanishino.

And while I agree the repetition in Marutani is really tiring, I appreciated how intertwined the routes were - it helped the heroines & side characters stay relevant to the overall plot and gave the impression they have social connections aside from the protagonist.

I liked Takehaya's part as well, Shino in particular (she had the most reasonable reason for being stuck in a school in the middle of nowhere as opposed to your parents don't want you anymore) but you really had the feeling you're, well, romancing a moege heroine. I was also confused by that shota who shows up at the beginning of Miyabi's route, does jack shit for the majority of it and then conveniently resolves the plot.

So I guess summing up Takehaya part is character-driven and Marutani part is more plot-driven and it all depends on what kind of game you like.

>>14974005
Fucking chink ass jews.

Yes, now Aqua's route is unlocked, after hers is Asuka's.
Also do the skits you get in the bonus part from the bad ends.

>>14974005
>>14974024
Game is on DMM anyways, it's easy to get

>>14974025
Yeah you get new choices to enter Aqua's route, after that new choices appear for Asuka's route
And after that you get to read 2 extra stories and finally Aqua After

Enjoy

I'm also waiting for Jeanne, it looks nice

I'm gonna buy Akeiro since Silky's Plus haven't released a bad title so far.

>>14974025
>Do different choices pop up or what?
Yeah, though the order is locked. Pick all Aqua choices and one of them leads to a new choice. After her route pick all Asuka choices. Also once you're done with the game (I'd suggest reading the side stories as well), like the anons in the previous thread said make sure to download and play Aqua After, which wasn't included in the remake of the main game.

>>14974026

If you want more of her, you need to get all the endings (bad endings and side story endings included), then read everything from TIPS section (the Aoi skits, not the keyword list) which are unlocked by getting all the endings. The last one is unlocked by playing through all the other skits.

Anyways, I'm most likely very late but I started playing 祝姫 and being a huge fan of Ryuukishi07 I was really excited. I'm not really far into it but I find it pretty... underwhelming? I don't think it's bad but It's not really what i was expecting, especially with the MC who seems to have no flaws and the random english words(please make It stop).
And I'm wondering if It gets better or maybe I am just being retarded (Which is possible since it's my first actual VN in japanese exluding Nukiges)

But there's one thing that's been kinda bothering me, is It my imagination or is 椿子's voice really different in some scene almost like It's another, completely different, VA.

Sorry, I'm terrible at that posting thing so It might have been painful to read through.

>>14974282
>all-ages
The anime was shit too so no thanks.

>>14974296

Which one?

>>14974296
>So that Island game has no H scenes?
Rather than H-scenes, I'm a little worried about how "mature" it is going to be in general.

Himawari had some very mature plot elements and even in the all ages remake they couldn't completely take out underage characters having sex since it's plot relevant, though all of it was still heavily implied to have happened off screen. Aqua After didn't probably receive a remake due to this reason (underage pregnancy) even though the fan disk is technically all ages with no actual sex scenes or anything violent.

Compared, Island is all ages from the get-go. Not that it absolutely has to have mature elements like Himawari in order to be good and I haven't played the trial so I can't say anything about the game yet. I'm still hyped as hell.

>>14974403
Goo already said that Island will be his "sharpest" story yet

>>14974403

The miko looks retarded.

>>14974210
I was hoping for the same thing when I played the trial and noticed how the flowchart was. Hopefully they have proper routes for the heroines.

>>14974368
>祝姫
This game was pretty disappointing for me, it had too much bad filler gore and madness scenes that didn't add up to the story or charcters and the charcters chapters gave me the feeling of reading rape nukige and also the ending totally sucked. Like I went literally " Is that it? "
This is actually my first R07 work, and I heared that Umineko ending sucked too, Its really a shame because the game had many hype moments and was building up to be something really great just to end up in a forced dues ex machine happy ending. If there is something I enjoyed it would be the battles against evil crazy bitches like the witches is Umineko.

>>14975146
>and I heared that Umineko ending sucked too
I personally liked Umineko's ending and liked it more the more I thought about it. I can't help but feel like most people who hate Umineko's ending didn't figure out the story.

>>14974631
I want to not be arrested.

>>14975206
Nobody can trace you if you just upload the iso in mega, let other do the torrent after that
Heck just post the link here and delete it 1 hour later, I'll post the torrent for you

>>14975206
We will suck your D if you do it.

>>14972207
Any not too old H novel about pet girls being fucked?
I think Nekopara is like this but any other?

>>14975206
Could you upload just the .exe and .exe.sig if you have a disk copy? That shouldn't get you vanned and might be enough to run the DL version.

>>14975408
Not worth the risk, sorry. Maybe if it's still not uploaded in a couple of weeks.

>>14974089
The term 'dcmys' written in released game in sukebei refers to a korea board dedicated to topics about VN
Also they did this kind of thing few months ago with Biman3

>>14975442
Rename it, change the extension, and put it with a bunch of other crap in a .rar or something. There's like no chance of getting caught. Be the savior we need, anon.

>>14975526
Why the hell are you begging so hard? We will get it 2-3 days later at worst, just chill a little.

>>14975572
It's a 4mb upload that would cost him very little time and potentially give us, as you said, a 2-3 days head start. I can't do anything if he really doesn't want to. All I'm saying is that the reasons he has for refusing don't really make sense and he really doesn't have anything to worry about.

>>14975629
Mate I understand you, but he already refused a couple times. No need for begging in 3-5 different posts, just play something different for a while. If its still not uploaded after 2-3 weeks (which I doubt since at worst chinese devs will release it after 2 weeks) we can start begging.

>>14975648
If by some miracle a few extra begging posts changed his mind then I, and likely some of you, would've been glad I went the extra mile. Never hurts to try.

Would they really arrest someone just for sharing a 7000 yen thing?

>>14975711
Akabei dude would try to

>>14975629
>don't really make sense
Not risking your entire life for nothing is very sensible thing to do.
You cannot be sure there's no unique fingerprint in these files or that anti-piracy association wouldn't subpoena 4chan to give poster's ip.

>>14975711
Yes, they arrest people who upload eroge from japan all the time.
There's RIAA-like eroge association in Japan, I've posted their bulletins about uploaders they rounded up few threads back.

If that sounds like any consolation, I am looking at that Buddy thing and depending on the crypto I might be able to crack it (my RE skills are still very low still)

Anyway, Justice is probably going to upload the disc before I do it

>>14975740
>Yes, they arrest people who upload eroge from japan all the time.

"All the time" is stretching it, since the first arrest in 2012 they only busted about 5 people

And there are no "uploaders" to speak of since there's only one person uploading a lot of games on regular basis every month, if we lose that guy it's going to be the end of it

>>14974439

Or like one of those annoying Alice no Takarabako expressions

>>14975842

You are clueless.
Just on single nation-wide roundup during 2016/02/26 they arrested 44 people and searched 93 places.

>>14975878
>>14975886
That's all piracy arrests in general, not specifically eroge. Also, of course they're going to catch a lot of people on a round up, that's the whole point, to catch as many people as they can before they get scared off by arrests. I didn't notice any mention of how long they were investigating either, so for all we know it could've been a year or more; it had to have been several months at the very least. Overall, your odds of getting caught are slim to none unless you're not being careful at all and/or distributing a lot of material.

>>14976356
Not too excited. Might as well still read it though since I read the original.

It seems from now on VNs from 2dgf will come out with some kind of ransom ware.
Perfect

>>14976184
Nobody cares.

>>14976184
Did not expect that. Does that mean they won't have h scenes?

>>14976403
They are fucking evil

>>14976403
They should just make it not work on Korean computers.
Everybody wins.

>>14976403
What could they do? Some kind of internet check up thing?

>>14976403
Pirate DRM? Man this is becoming such a weird world.

>>14976405
EOPs do, cause they're butthurt Sekai Project will release it with shit translation and censored.

>>14976488
and how does this affect us?

>>14976512
It doesn't, I was just saying.

>>14976528

>>14976488
>will release it with shit translation and censored.
You mean censored just like the original release and with a readable translation better than using Atlas? I will take it.

>>14976629
>just like the original release and

As if. They'll make it all ages.

>>14976629
better than atlas, talk about lowering the bar

>>14976645
Until the fans add the H-scenes back. Or the translation to the original release.

>>14976661
You're a funny man if you think anyone on Fuwanovel or some other shithole would touch loli h-scenes with a ten foot pole.

>>14976403
Looks like yet another reason to avoid their services.

>>14976184
The fuck? Why?

>>14976184
I've never seen a game go from potential GOTY to complete kusoge so fast.

>>14976184
Dropped. Not that I was too interested in it to begin with.

Anything substantial released yet?

>>14976719
Akeiro.

Seems like Akeiro has some extra scenes in the prologue that the trial didn't include.

>>14976735
Good thing I didn't read the trial. I hate it when I can't skip things I've already seen.

>>14976184
Better finish it before the cancerous fanbase starts popping up.

Maitetsu torrent is up.

Am I the only person here excited for Kouya and that Dies Irae prequel?

>>14976815
Lying is wrong.

>>14976823
It's up on AS, checkmate doesn't post it up on Nyaa.

>>14976817
>Kouya
They say it's short to medium in time length and that's fucking disappointing. Who said that the anime was just the prologue?
Iam still hyped regardless, the trial was the most hilarious thing ever.

>>14976862
>Who said that the anime was just the prologue?
They said so in the official website.

So, is this real for Maitetsu?
"Only the DL-Card version is DRM protected, the physical DVD edition has no DRM".
If it's real, can someone have the DVD upload it on mega?

>>14976449
Denuvo will now protect both developers and pirates, it's a win-win scenario.

>>14976947
Jesus, follow the thread, it's already uploaded on A-S.

>>14976947
Yes, I can confirm that is the case. I was able to rip the ISO cleanly and install from it without the DVD in the drive. Someone who has the DVD can indeed upload it to Mega.

>>14976956
Didn't you need something else to install/play it?

>>14976965
No, just download it from http://www.anime-sharing.com/forum/torrents-47/5-%5B160325%5D-%5Blose%5D-まいてつ-ものべの-仲良しセット-melonbooks-cd-gamers-cd-vocal-cd-update-1-1-a-475484/ and play.

It also contain Monobeno happy end too though, which makes it almost 20 gb.

Mikokon put up Maitetsu only up.

>>14976449
They started adding their "Pirate-DRM" several months ago, I posted about one of their nukige releases not working unless you had micocon's site advertisement file in game directory. Seems like they are making advances in that tool.

Now people will have to develop cracks to crack cracks.

>>14977254
Which game?

http://www.getchu.com/all/rank_sales.html?genre=pc_soft
Looks like Maitetsu is dominating this month's sales on Getchu, even split between two versions. I'm a bit surprised, since lolige traditionally don't rank that highly, but I suppose that's the power of E-mote and/or train otaku.

>>14977254
>Now people will have to develop cracks to crack cracks.
I can see this coming.

Looks like Mimasu is looking for a way to use Steam for distribution.
Maybe one day we will have to pay for a H scene DLC

>>14977254
One wonders what their own chinese vip members think about this bullshit.

>>14977264
It's the power of heavy marketing. Same thing with Sanoba Witch. As far as I saw in 2ch, there aren't many train otaku playing it.

>>14977271
Steam isn't going to help if they don't change pricing policy.

>>14977254
So now I will have to pirate a pirated game? Sweet Jesus.

>>14977258
According to my logs it was released on 2015-11-04, since its the time I mentioned it on irc. Link I posted that time is already dead so need to find this thread for that date, I posted title name there.

>>14975146
Yeah the gore seems too much "in your face" trying to shock you, except it doesn't really work. A shame, I was actually telling myself "Well, maybe the ending will be worth it!" but from what you said, that's not the case. Oh well, I guess I will keep reading because R07.

On Umineko's ending, I think that opinions are pretty divided but I personally enjoyed it in itself. However, whatever anyone say about the ending, I don't think they can deny that the whole "ride" is really fun.

So you can turn off the character movement in Maitetsu right?

I was about to buy a copy of maitetsu
Then I saw that sekai project will translate it

I dropped it faster than a baking hot potatoe

>>14977874
It's not as if SP producing an English version, in whatever form that may be, will affect anything about the original Japanese product.

>>14977882
It affects the fanbase, which in turn sours anything redeemable about the game itself.

>>14977882
Disgusts for EOPs cannot be reasoned by that kind of logic, lad

>>14977800
Everyone seems to be impressed by Maitetsu's e-mote but for me it just looked too unnatural from the start.

>>14977882
>he thinks this won't change anything

>>14977890
>>14977900
The game is already out in Japan, there's nothing to change. Of course, Monobeno had a bunch of expansions and downloadable scenes and the same will probably be true for Maitetsu and if Maitetsu ends up being very popular in the west that might affect Lose's decision making regarding what kind of content to create. But the game that you can buy today isn't going to magically transform into something else just because of some English release.

>>14977943
>if Maitetsu ends up being very popular in the west that might affect Lose's decision making regarding what kind of content to create

Could you guys please move translations discussions to VNTS? Its offtopic here.

>>14977922
>>14977925
Wow, I had no idea this game was so popular here. It must be a real kamige to get two simultaneous answers like this.

>>14977932

>>14977954
Is that where I can talk about maitetsu?

>>14977912
I'll be legit
When it comes to EOP hate you can't get any more real than me.

I fucking hate those faggots. Seeing them talking about the games I play just feels "icky", I can't explain. I just avoid whatever is translated to the best of my efforts.

But I also need to be realistic and understand that the money those subhumans have is worth as much as mine.

With the industry of games in general in Japan being the sour state that it is, it's very damn hard to keep up with production cost while selling only in Japan.

So while the feeling of sharing games with scum is shitty, you kind of have to deal with it if you actually like the medium and need more people to support it


If Japan was an industry that could be self sustained and the Japs weren't so fucking broke and actually bought shit then I probably wouldn't be posting this.
Oh, the perfect world.

>>14977959
>implying it won't be horrendous

I don't mind if they get a vastly inferior version.

Why do people hate EOPs again? Seriously I never got it. Is it because they're shitposters?

>>14977963
You likely feel that way because you put some (likely large) amount of effort into mastering the language, maybe solely for the sake of these games, and then people who did nothing but bitch and beg on their lazy ass get the same experience anyway.

>>14977935
>Why won't you guys just stick to talking about the game on 2ch
Woah, I didn't know BBSPink didn't block.

I do, I even have a rounin account which I renew every 6 months. I still pop in 4chan every now and then though.
But just the fact that there's a filthy pleb shitposting about a certain game rigs my autism to almost non-ironic mad levels

>>14977972
Don't know about others but lower quality of discussion and increased amounts of shitposters

>>14977958
If you check warosu, you will see its mentioned here all the time. Only 陵辱相姦図 is more popular, but it was already tainted.

>>14977977
Wasn't for the sole sake of these games, but there was a long road to run.

The reason I don't like them is probably how they run their mouth while experiencing the medium in a secondary form or a translation and think they have some sort of authority to criticize what was written by a translator.

They're the jews of our nazi germany
Leeches, secondary citizens with the conceit of primary ones.

It's more or less around those lines.

>>14977979
>Woah, I didn't know BBSPink didn't block.

You do get an exclamation mark after your ID if you post from gaijin IP though.

>>14977972
Because it's my secret club. I'm being serious too, I'm not afraid to admit this.

>>14977991
You should note that things are they way you see them, so just stop seeing thise abominable EOPs. Enjoy eroge by yourself for your own sake and be fine like that.

>>14977991
At a point we were reading translations too. It took me many years to learn Japanese because I'm almost retarded ( my IQ is below average) so people who are even stupidiier than I am or aren't compatible for languages probably need to put in more hours than I did to gain a sizable understanding. That's why I can't hate them too much for not learning.

anyone got some of those screenshots of moogs dissing on plebs

those caps pretty much show how those pests can be annoying at times

>>14977972
They don't bother me personally, but I'm bothered that companies might will start to carter to a 'more general' audience like implied in this post: >>14977951

The amount of unrealistic huge racks that eroge characters have nowadays already turn me off. I'm guessing they hope that it's "western audience compatible" so it's easier for localization companies to pick their product up and hit the jackpot.

Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I can imagine somewhere in the future they make eroge heroine personality like hollywood women.

>>14977972
It's just faction-based reasoning. They don't want to be seen as belonging to what they perceive as a faction different from theirs, so they simply reject anything that could even slightly be associated with "that" faction.
The conflict of "us" versus "them" is as old as social animals are, but it's an especially sad sight to see when it's centred around freaking entertainment products.

I have the same sentiments as you. Though I mostly only hate them as much as I hate normies sharing my passion for video games. I even think VNs are my safespace. It's people like them that put a medium in meme status. Kind of like nekopara.

>>14978047
Who? Personally I only defend the possibility of ignoring them. I'd say it's advisable in the end.

I agree with you. It's not like I hate big breasts either, but i think too much ruins the girl's overall figure. I am a hip and ass man so I hate it especially whenever the breasts extend out further than the hip because it takes emphasis anyway and makes too the design top heavy.

>Though I mostly only hate them as much as I hate normies sharing my passion for video games.

Back in the 90s, there were games like Wing Commander, Warcraft, Star Wars X-Wing. When studios make video games, they make worlds with consistent and intricate plot. They design complex level with considerable difficulty. Nowadays we have the latest iteration of AAA shooter or whatever that focuses on multiplayer. Any content not politically correct is thrown out of the window.

I just hope the eroge industry doesn't end up like the western gaming industry.

Honestly, this.

>>14978133
When you learn Japanese you only realize once you go into 2ch and bbspink that the Japanese fanbases also have a substantial amount of idiots. It's something that eventually comes up with big groups of people, because the retards stand out while the sane ones go unnoticed; it's not something inherent to EOPs.

>You will never put EOPs in camps

EOPs should just fucking die

I want to destroy any localization companies so badly. I hate Sekai Project with a passion. Maybe I'll try to stir up shit with normalfag groups that defend muh children rights if they release maitetsu to hinder their activity, I know of a couple that would immediately jump at this.

>>14978160
You'd end up destroying Lose in the process, probably.

>>14978160
>Maybe I'll try to stir up shit with normalfag groups that defend muh children rights if they release maitetsu to hinder their activity, I know of a couple that would immediately jump at this.
So your plan is to blame people for something they didn't do? Brilliant, you must feel superior to those subhumans.

There's >>14975157 for discussions of these license announcements. Can we go back to our monthly moege here?

Seriously does no ONE have that picture with moogster shitting on a dude who gave a random opinion on forest?
I lost it, but that encapsulates the need for isolation against the common rattle.

It's not about being hipster or feeling special, you just can't hope to ever have a discussion on the same level they can and they end up being obnoxious as fuck about it

>>14978120
>Maybe I'll try to stir up shit with normalfag groups that defend muh children rights if they release maitetsu to hinder their activity
Yes, this doesn't sound retarded at all.

>>14978167
Sure, but you'll have to take Maitetsu there now since it's no longer untranslated.

>>14978164
They have no power in Japan whatsoever. Lose should have stayed in there, and they'd go back to staying in there if there was an international scandal. Remember Rapelay?

>>14978166
I'd do anything to stop the flow of content that should stay exclusively japanese to the outside. Strawmanning and lying are the basics.

>>14978181
Its untranslated till translation is released. We still have at least few months to read and discuss it.

>>14978181
Great, now we can talk about this year's true kamilolige.

>>14978187
I wish they'd get a better artist.

>>14978184
>They have no power in Japan whatsoever.
You're underestimating it. Last time Rapelay got discontinued in Japan and just a few hours ago Akabei soft's president tweeted an article about HuniePop's dev talking about Steam's policy.

>>14978184
>>14978160
Please do, I would love to see the outcome of this.

I think it would be a good idea to stop naysaying. Instead just read Maitetsu. Once you read it, it's yours forever.

>>14978205
Too late, it belongs to EOPs now.

>>14978205
I'll just read Akeiro instead since it's not being shit upon by normies.

>>14978187

Seriously. I still keep booting up 通心ぼ once in a while due to the fluffy art.

A pirate DRM. And they are saying this without a trace of shame.
This is getting way stupider than I expected.

>>14978222
He actually said DRM this is hilarious

>>14978222
Chinks are subhumans

>>14978222
Something easily solved with a VPN if korean trolls really wanted to?
Or are Koreans too prideful and retarded for that?

>>14978228
Careful posting this, there is a chink subhuman mikocon enabler lurking the thread that reports you until you're banned for "racism".

>>14978222
I'm fine with it as long as they remove it once they release to the public. This may seem a bit of a slippery slope though.

>>14978222
>the DRM does not locate the leaker, instead, disabling the leaked version of the game so it can't be played. Games that can't be protected will simply not be released in Mikocon VIP anymore (either this or ban all Koreans). The next step would be to add authentication system. If that still does not work, we'll consider the outside world too hostile and we will stop all releases in Mikocon VIP.

>>14978233
>I'm fine with it
Are you clinically insane? We are talking about a few chinese retads literally stealing money from people AND from the developers. They are the lowest tier of human scum.

>>14978222
>All new registration from Korean will be denied too
So they think that because a Korean leaked it this time banning Koreans will solve the problem because only Koreans ever leak releases?

>>14978240
Hey, anything for our free porn games.

>>14975878
I meant people uploading eroge specifically like the post I quoted

Mikocon is kind of a necessary evil these days, unless you want to rely on a single Japanese uploader that may quit/get arrested anytime you better suck it up

Tokyo Necro translation when?

>>14978212

Fixed.

As of the next thread discussion of maitetsu is banned, so get your fill now while you can.

There's no adult life chapter and the entire game is only 10 or 11 hours.

So much for Romeo's next big masterpiece.

>>14978381
It's more like 15 but yeah.
Still very much worth reading, it's interesting and fun to read 100% of the time but it's not what they hyped it to be aka a serious take on the life on an adult eroge writer or the industry in general
Closer to Saekano than Rakuen basically

>>14978387
So it's a decent game if you don't approach it with too big expectations? Might try it then, I prefer shorter games.

From the get-go you could tell that this wasn't going to be the next Cross+Channel or Saihate no Ima.

>>14978401

>>14978407
I wouldn't mind Maruto, I like his romcoms.

>>14978401
Yes
It's the sort of game where you just never stop smiling, there is some drama but it's usually resolved VERY fast
But it's nothing deeper than that, there are a few bits about the industry here and there than will make you go "oh yeah he is totally right" but that's all

https://vndb.org/p2975

The VNDB's Harukaze page says "Originated from: Minato Soft"; does anyone know the exact relation to Minato Soft besides them using the same engine?

>>14978428
Nora uses the same engine as Minato's games, that's the only thing I know

>>14978187

>>14978381
>There's no adult life chapter and the entire game is only 10 or 11 hours.
This is weird. 10 hours is just too short and I remember they said officially that there would be a second adult life half. Maybe people are currently missing a way to unlock the second half of the game and thinking they cleared it?

>>14978452
Its size is 2.5gbs installed.

>>14978452
Takahiro only lied, one route has a bit of adult life and is one or two level better than the others (Teru, the fujo red hair) but there is no second half, it's just routes

But again, it's not a bad game at all, it's really fun to read all the way through
If you liked the trial and don't expect more than that then you should like it

Does anyone have a Kara no Shoujo flowchart?

>>14978606
Google it using the Japanese word you can always use to google flowcharts, walkthroughs and guide for eroge.

>>14978198
Rapelay was a game about actually molestating young girls in a train. I think the majority of feminists would be against that, even the more chill ones. It's very different from what an all-ages maitetsu will look like.

Finally! Now I can go to sleep

>>14978761
I'll sleep when the localization is cancelled.

So is the monobeno stuff included everything, or is there more monobeno VN side stuff that isn't in it?

>>14978773
Check the install folder, if it has patch.xp3 up to 14, that's all the extra scenes. Provided they didn't change how the game is packed for this release, but that seems like a pointless extra work.

Say what you want, but at least regarding eroge neta, kouya is pretty good.

>>14978803
Upload when though?

Sprite announced a prequel to Aokana
https://twitter.com/sprite_fairys/status/713667378555412480

>>14978827
Woops, not prequel

>>14978827
Wataファッキンnabe is writing the matches again so I'm looking forward to it.

I wish he'd get done with Akikuru first. I know he's making progress, but how many years has it been? 3?

>>14978898
He tweeted that he finished it awhile ago. The script I meant.

>>14978898
It's done. They are already recording the voices. No date released yet though.

I'm rather new to untranslated visual novels (JLPT N4 level language proficiency) and am looking for some rather easy to read visual novels with interesting content. There was some kind of nice chart I found a while ago, but I can't find it anymore.

Any recommendations? Ideally no haremshit, but romance and moege are fair game to me

>>14978921
Sorry, nothing immediately comes to mind.

>>14978921
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KnyyDt7jimEz-dgeMSKymRaT2r3QKBPm9AzqZ6oUWAs/pub

>>14978921
Doesn't really get much easier than moege. Flyable Heart gets name dropped a lot on DJT as a good first untranslated VN though.

Kanon was fairly simple. It gets even easier to understand with the PSP voice patch, since it adds partial voicing for the protag.

Gonna lament this too?

>>14978975
The series is done, I regret nothing.

>>14978921
>>14978957
Considering how little N4 actually is, I doubt you'll be able to smoothly read any of this. And if you want to read and look up half of the stuff as you do it, that's not really reading for enjoyment, so choose something you don't want to enjoy.

Otherwise you'll end up like that one faggot linked in previous thread that spent 4 months reading Eustia and hated it.

>>14978975
That's a bit annoying. I guess it was in the process of being translated / already had a translation but just needed a way to get the translation put back into the game though, so I guess it was just a matter of time.

>>14978975
It's a good choice, the writing is simple so the translation would be hard to fuck up.
I don't care too much about this but it should sell well

>>14978975
How do we get these people killed? They need to die now.

At least it's not as bad because the games have been out for long enough and the series is over.

>>14978984
Maitetsu is done too.

I said it above, just got read it now, make it your own (by this I mean create your own experience of enjoying it) and no matter how many shitty EOPs post clueless shit about it later, they won't take what's yours already.

>>14978998
Stop being so annoying, it's not like it's some kind of untranslatable masterpiece or whatever

>>14979002
Who cares if it's not a masterpiece? It's a decent game I enjoyed, that's enough for me. Why does that cancerous Sekai Project shit have to get their hands on it.

>>14978998
Want sekai dead? Stir up some trouble about pedophiles trying to profit from steam. Send emails to all anti-anime/anti-sexism game journalists, contact tumblr crowd, etc.

>>14979009
It's basically impossible to fuck up the translation of Ley Line, the text is just that simple

>>14979013
Don't underestimate fuwanovel-sekai combo power. They fucked up nekopara, and it was even easier.

>>14978921
You won't be able to read (and by read I mean read with a text hooker) even "easy" VNs until you're N2 minimum. That's what I found out the hard way.

>>14978974
Where can I get that voice patch?

Oh wow, mods probably didn't like the raid vibe some post were giving off.

While we're at it, please report that post with the maitetsu translation announcement as well. We need a complete purge, what we got is a start but not enough.

>>14979094
C'mon. Maitetsu's translation is a big deal in the eroge world whether you want to hear it or not. There's a difference between keeping the thread quality and on-topic, and just removing anything you don't want to hear.

>>14979109
I'm glad someone here gets it.

>>14979109
How? It's irrelevant to this thread because the only way we care about translations is being horrified by them. Look at this thread and compare it to the last one. Terrible.

>>14979109
Is this the translation status thread?

>>14978985
Ah, actually, I started Hanahira, but I didn't like it too much. Didn't have many problems understanding the contents though, it just felt kind of dull, even for a Moege.

I've at least practiced reading a bit by reading Manga daily on my Comico app. I just need something that motivates me to read more and learn more Kanji.

>>14979059
>N2 minimum
N2? Wow, that's harsh. Guess it'll take a while then, lol.

>>14979119
How well Maitetsu sells in the west will directly influence their next game and future business practices.

>>14979154
And the result will be horrible no matter what. Fuck you Lose, you disappointed me. Too bad I already bought Maitetsu and related merch, if I had known this I'd have pirated it like everyone else.

>>14979154
>>14979163
They had a good run with Monobeno and Maitetsu.

Not pray August doesn't decide Sen no Hatou could work on Steam.

>>14979169
I trust August won't be that retarded. Though then again, I didn't expect Lose to be that retarded either and here we are. I hope there's some sort of backlash.

>>14979182
Why should there be any kind of backlash?

>>14979191
CP on Steam!
Think of the children!
She's looks like 6 years old!

>>14979182
>>14979191
There won't be for Maitetsu. Japanese buyers have no reason to care about the English translation being shit and Lose always had porn mostly as separate scenes. And Lose won't be insane enough to stop pandering to lolicons, they're the main source of their success.

>>14979204
Oh, you mean on th English side. Well, that might be a bumpy ride.

>>14979213
My hope is that it does badly in the west because people get pissy about the content but wonderfully in Japan, which already has. That way Lose won't distribute future titles in the west.

A few years ago I thought eroge would just be a crapshow in the west, sell like garbage and discourage every company from further trying to release to a western audience, but it looks like the market is actually growing and this Sekai Project thing is all over the place.

Contrary to what people seem to think, success in the west would alter the medium significantly, over time.

>>14979154
>>14979245
It could end up in a huge controversy which leads into Lose deciding to abstain from western releases. Though even if they end up being successful I have a hard time believing they're going to ditch ero altogether in order to appeal for western audiences, as loli is still what they're best known for in Japan. I mean Monobeno already got an all ages Vita release in Japan.

I think it's much more likely that if Maitetsu western release succeeds (meaning the probable backlash from western media isn't enough to dissuade them) they're going to continue making both adult and all ages versions of their games, with Japan getting both and the localized version only getting all ages. Making both versions means more money, localization or no. I can't really imagine a situation where the backlash from western media / audiences dissuades them from making eroge altogether.

>>14979260
>they're going to ditch ero altogether in order to appeal for western audiences
That is a misunderstanding. They're not ditching ero to appeal to the west, they're ditching ero because if the game's not on Steam it won't sell well.

>>14978921
Axanael was my first untrans vn and I really liked it.

Can the e-mote in Maitetsu be switched off?

Dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Aokana is getting a sequel; http://sprite.org/2016/03/26/id-3311/

Seems like it'll have a Saki route for sure, but nothing other than this confirmed so far.

>>14979337
you're the 3rd person to bring it up.

Akeiro is really good
