Finally finished Making Lovers after playing it on and off between other tiles.

I really liked the changing apartments / workplaces and one heroine focus per route aspect with very short common route, but as I complained some time before the advertised proactive seeking of love where the protagonist has to ditch his "運命的な出会い" way of thinking felt lacking since he meets pretty much every heroine by pure luck. F.ex. the 合コン girl Karen is his old acquaintance and another introduction by his friend is a lucky mix-up where he meets Saki who also happened to have a mix-up on her end followed by yet another lucky break, not to mention Ako who picks the protagonist if you ignore all others because imoutos like their oniichans from the word go as per normal operating procedure. I mean he's still the usual funny idiot who gets things done as in the devs' previous games but it doesn't feel like he's actively working to get a girl like the protagonist in Fureraba.

Regardless the actual relationship parts were solid and I ended up liking all the routes, even the girls who I didn't really expect much from and the game was fun enough to make me return to it unlike some other SMEE games I dropped. I really liked they went out of their way to give side characters who mostly or only appear in heroine routes actual sprites, though I'm a bit peeved they didn't give the protagonist and Ako's parents sprites considering they appear so much in latter's route. Finished her route last and didn't have that high expectations but living with their parents and trying to hide the relationship, along with funny interruptions at inopportune moments managed to rub off on me. Her VA hijinks were fun as well.

Also the love hotel scenes in each route were pretty great. If moege has to have H-scenes I'd love for more this sort of bit non-standard stuff.

I got my Ap2 for 3000 yen. You don't really need anything "high spec" for eroge; any 486 system with OPNA audio is more than adequate. In fact, it's usually best to stick to pre-1995 systems, since the graphics/sound hardware in Windows-era machines has compatibility problems with some DOS games.

Useful reference:
http://www.pc-9800.net/db_98/db9821d_index.htm
You'll want one with "86音源互換" audio. Standalone 86音源 cards exist, but they're getting really pricey these days, so it's easiest to get a machine with it built-in. I'd suggest an A-Mate (PC-9821A*) or 98Multi (Ce, Ce2, Cs2) for best compatibility.

Silky's nukige really were great. I've been going through 学園催眠隷奴 lately and it's the best nukige that I have read in my life, holy shit. It's making me fap to fetishes that I did not even know I had. I'd honestly consider this game to be a kamige, a definite must play for anyone that wants a good nut. I also find it quite surprising that pretty much all of the characters in this game are voiced, except the protagonist. Even the faceless mob dudes.

I wish Silky's Plus would stop with these new "plot" games and go back to their roots with high quality nukige like this, but I'm happy this game exists regardless.

I really like the art but either way I'd say there's more to a nukige than just the art. There's also the scene set-up and the text.

It's a masterpiece.

It depends on the protagonist's mood, I guess. Some of the h scenes are like that though and I find it hot. He does a variety of shit. With one of the heroines he hypnotizes her to make her develop a fetish for rape. Another heroine is someone about to get married so he hypnotizes her to use him as 'practice' before the actual marriage. The game is a fetish goldmine, I would say. It literally has everything, even a bunch of weird shit I don't know who the hell on this earth would be into.

Another thing that I will say about this game is that you can tell the VAs worked very hard. I imagine the voice acting in this game may be hit or miss for some people but it really worked for me.

Well ontop of the Akira route stuff, you also have to deal with the fact that I think one of the main goals of this game was to cater to as wide of an audience as possible. That means this game has stuff like food play, scat, saliva swallowing, you name it, all the while the girls are screaming off the top of their lungs and cumming over and over again. There's a heavy focus on scent play too, with the protag making the girls get turned on by the way he smells.

There are some parts where girls will climax from just being kissed. If you hate over the top voice acting I imagine you'd hate this game. I wonder how Himekishi Angelica is due to a bunch of EGS reviews talking about how much they laughed. If Himekishi Angelica's voice acting goes further than what this game did then I imagine it'd really be something.

It probably exists but its also probably old af. Its just that fantasy settings are usually the land of rape nukiges where the appeal is degrading fantasy races or royalty. You could try Gakuen 3,also, nukige where MC corrupts 3 princesses and his childhood friend maid who is revealed to be MC's cousin.

If you dont mind no incest or that the related character is not blood related then you could try https://vndb.org/v17058 where half the cast are princesses and the other your sisters.

Whats so generic about a game where elves are born through a magic tree (hence having stuff like virgin mothers and grandmothers) and need a human to breed with? Moreso one where its focused on elves/dark elves, not a single Orc on sight, no gangbangs, literally no rape (The battlefuck between protag and dark elves dont count since they had established this would be a sex battle under no circunstance the elves dont want to be fucked by protag)?

The only one i can think of are some Norn games (Though no dark elves in there) or the trap elf VN (And then again they had Orcs raping the shota elves).

It takes no brains to figure out that given how generic most elf focused games were that people that had wanted to romance them in a high budget game flocked to the only game of its type (There are a lot of vanilla fanart of dark elves/elves so the market for such games has always been there).

God, Karen's route was such a shitfest. Karen and Setsuna were both pathetic and annoying as shit, and the progress they were making always felt like it was taking a step backward for every step forward. I mean, I guess this is how a "realistic" romance between a bratty teenager and a manchild might play out but it didn't make for good entertainment.

I hope the other routes (and Himawari) are better.

Because there has been a war between the Elves and Dark Elves and there has been plenty of casualties. Then all of a sudden the God Magical Tree stopped giving birth to elves (Explained only in Nol's route) and thus the protagonist was summoned.

The interesting thing is that the elves given birth to will ALWAYS be female and ALWAYS be pure breed elves(Only Nol is a half elf which is explained in her route) so in a way they are still born through magic but with a diferent process (ie sex, semen and big bellies).
And as an added bonus those females will always have incestuous feelings towards their father since they acknowledge him as their father but also dont have the usual feelings a daughter would had towards their father.

Sukebe Elf has actually lots of interesting stuff like that which gives it some more depth than the usual vanilla nukige (And much more than your average elf rape nukige).

Honestly I feel like the first route in Island was somehow even weaker than Aries in Himawari, the main thing I was interested in was the information about the island and things that happened there. So, basically, an exposition. Second route was better, and in the third one things finally start happening.
Himawari is... mostly better, I guess? Writing is somehow worse there though. Island was a pretty pleasant experience all the time in terms of prose, while in Himawari some parts felt a bit rough.

Done with the PS2 version of this... while not quite a kamige, I would definitely put it at least in the Top 3 of Nitroplus games. I like the emphasis put on cool guns, cars, bikes, madmen, bitches, etc.; I feel you dont see that done so earnestly anymore these days. The art is not so much bad as very inconsistent and badly colourised, as is typical of its time. Also typical for it is the often excessive melodrama (not that this trend every really stopped), the protagonist is mostly a boring whiny cunt, but the supporting cast more or less makes up for him. Disappointing that the three main endings kind of fizzled out without a real climax, and they were also a bit too cliched in their treatment of the heroines. But overall, and despite all dragging parts, the game made for an entertaining journey with its tripartite structure.

I do wonder on what I missed out by playing an all ages version. I considered the remake, but iirc it added some new things and is apparently also all ages anyway. It seems to have a completely different VA cast as well, which makes me want to not pick it up, since the voice work for the main characters was really great here (Drei has to be one the best 2D girls ever, and I dont say that only because I am a Misafag). Urobuchi's eroge output seems pretty good from what I have seen. Maybe I should try Django.

That and the sequel both have fantastic BGM, I have trouble picking a favourite track.

Of course the final fight was a highlight, but 甘粕 really needed to be given more background. He was formally introduced fairly late into the story and we really don't get to see much of him at all until right at the end despite probably being the most interesting character in the cast (セージ is definitely up there though). He's a little more fleshed out in the sequel but it was a bit late by then.

Pretty standard complaint, but the H scenes were a real drag to get through. Every time I took a long break from reading it was because of a H scene.

Senshinkan, as great as it was, had a simple yet a very important problem: the main cast of heroines was weak. Because of that, the actual romance in the first three routes felt weak (I don't even want to start talking about h-scenes and how unneeded they were), and while Rinko's faces and Ayumi's shinza jokes were fun, in the end it's not what you want from the main characters. Sera was much better, which is why the last route ended up being that great.
That being said, I still consider senshinkan and bansenjin Masada's best works overall.

ok so I finished guro dere, it's pretty short
definitely recommended, the girls are super cute and the romance super heart-warming, anyone who likes maruo-style moege will love it
also the humour is great, I was basically constantly entertained, despite only having 3 characters it has some super enjoyable interactions
dora-chan was my favourite because I super like the kind of girl she is, she's basically niwaka from chronobox super super cute, but irumi was the main girl and her relationship with MC was great, super romantic
also the production was great, I wonder why maruo games are always like this when he's just the writer? does he work on production as well or does he just work with the same people all the time? the sprites are super bouncy, the use of visual props to support the story are very nicly done and reminiscent of chronobox, and the BGM was actually amazing
if I was to give criticism it's that that's all the game is, it's great and fun and all but it's not a deep and profound work of art that will stay in your memory forever and make you change the way you think about fiction like dasaku is
but I'm perfectly happy with it anyway, comparing it to dasaku everything looks inferior but I still enjoyed it a lot and look forward to my fellow maruo fans reading it

Dasaku.
It's debatable because they're both amazing works in very different ways. Chronobox is an extremely interesting and complex horror/mystery, while Dasaku is about the inner conflict of flawed characters learning to accept themselves for who they are. Chronobox has a very large and developed cast of characters, with some cute and funny and heart-warming and emotionally moving interactions and relationships, while Dasaku follows a smaller core cast and explore in great detail their innermost thoughts and fears and desires. Chronobox leaves a lot unexplained and has a lot of potential for speculation and theorising and interpretation, while Dasaku is very compact and complete and satisfying. Chronobox is a lot higher budget so has superior production values and visual nuances that contribute a lot to the story, but Dasaku has scenes which are far more unique and unlike anything else you'll ever see, not just in eroge but in any other work of art ever created.

So it depends on your personal taste, I know people who consider Chronobox their favorite eroge ever, but personally I was far more blown away by Dasaku.

Hey seems like I can post for a day, after 4chan was adamant about blocking ipv4 ranges from Germany or.. whatever the heck they did.

Anyway, I've recently played bokunatsu and it's not half bad. It feels a little lifeless, probably because of how "dry" its writing is with close to no even remotely amusing things happening, or them just being presented in the least amusing way possible. But otherwise it does a few interesting things.
For one thing, the male and female protagonists have pretty much a clear love interest from the beginning, and that will always play a role. It feels like a teen romance with a healthy dose of misunderstandings, some lying, jealousy and mistakes. Due to the change of pov between the protagonists, you also get to see the feelings of essentially the main heroine quite a bit. Finally one of the heroines likes the female protagonist. So you even get yourself some yuri.

It's all kinda nice, but the endgame feels weak. Some events feel rather unrealistic and drastic. Others feel like they are cleaned up way too fast. Endings in general feel like they come a little fast. It's just messy. I still have one "route" left to go through, so some issues may still get resolved, but yeah.

I've been thinking of pursuing an eroge that approaches romance and sex in a different way. I've gotten a bit sick of the usual romantic development where both the protagonist and heroine are crazy about each other and spend lots of playtime reaffirming how much they love each other and how precious and perfect their relationship is. I want to try a heroine route where the couple doesn't go all the way with the romance, where there is something missing. For example, maybe a friends with benefits relationship where they stay as casual buddies must of the time but fuck for fun when alone, or maybe the heroine loves the protagonist but the protagonist doesn't love her but they fuck anyway because he thinks she's hot (Amatsutsumi was good with this outside of the heroine routes), or maybe they mutually love each other but can never find the nerve to confess for real and try to keep up the front of a business relationship.

Any suggestions? The genre or whatever doesn't matter, and it's fine if this kind of relationship only happens in one route out of many. I just don't want a nukige, I know nukige often have these types of relationships but I want something with some plot (even if it's some low-stakes moege plot).

It's sad how limited the scope of eroge is getting over time. I know money talks, but the frequent autistic outbursts from the people who buy these games are just adding more and more "do not do this" checklist items to dev writers as the years go by. Stuff like Koikake and Work Spring is already going extinct soon because of that. I bet 10 years from now some of today's generic eroge will look daring and risky in comparison, maybe it'll be a sin to even wound a heroine by then.

This may fit. Starts with a "fuck club" to seek nothing but primitive pleasure, the complete opposite of what's expected of you by society. Relationships build from that I guess. I only played the route of pic related, but I mostly enjoyed it. With her you can't expect actual sex for a while though.
The game is somewhat heavy on ero, but most of these scenes include plenty of progression in their own way.

Sara's route was better than Karen's, but I still can't say it was good. Something seemed off for me, like it was almost a good character route but not quite enough.

Seems like this author has a habit or hobby of making his characters do a bunch of stupid shit to establish their personalities and then blindsiding them with twists or revelations that change their entire life view, then having them continue to do stupid shit until they fuck up hard but learn a lesson in the end. I haven't played Himawari but just these two routes in Island seem to share this similarity.

Also the art in this scene was really impressive.

to the anon who told me not to come to the thread until I finish Setsuna's true route in WA2, don't worry, i'm not looking at any replies, just posting my thoughts
the closing chapter is ending up to be a lot better than the introductory chapter. I hit another time skip and I played basically all day, and now im near the end of february, right after setsuna leaves haruki's room after their 2-3 days of constant sex. but so far the story has really had its ups and downs in terms of emotions, and i'm definitely expecting another downfall soon. on top of that, this is going on way longer than i was expecting. i wasnt thinking it'd go on for longer than the end of january, but the fact that it's still going makes me think that it's either going to keep going until spring and then do another time skip, or it will go all the way until next christmas, which sounds crazy. anyway, absolutely loving the game so far and i cant wait to come back and read the replies to these posts, but for now i wont since i dont want to spoil myself. also i still dont know what the fuck a coda is

You should know this if you're reading this now. CC is split into 2 parts, CC itself and coda, the latter of which is sort of supposed to be a secret, but nowadays almost everyone knows coda exists going into WA2 since it gets talked about everywhere which ruins the reveal. I still remember absolutely losing my shit when the coda opening played on me unexpectedly (I thought for the longest time Kazusa's route was locked behind that "go to the concert" choice) and the few friends I've introduced the game to thanked me for keeping it under wraps, so if I happen upon any lucky people who still don't know about it, I'll always urge them to finish Setsuna's route in CC before checking any guides.

Yes. Coda is the 3 year timeskip to France. Now Coda has 3 routes for you to go to; Setsuna True, Kazusa Normal/Cheating Route, Kazusa True.
Setsuna True is the route where you remain loyal to Setsuna. You tell Setsuna that you met Kazusa in Strasbourg, you also reject Kazusa's feelings in this route. Haruki, Setsuna and Kazusa made an album in this route and remained friends only in this route. Both you and Setsuna get married by the end of the route (continuation of this route would be Setsuna Mini After Story). Kazusa Normal/Cheating Route is where you cheat Setsuna with Kazusa. You don't tell Setsuna that you met her in Strasbourg, you and Kazusa will constantly have sex in this route. Kazusa leaves you at the end of the route, this leaves Haruki emotionally broken. Setsuna will be there to help Haruki recover.(continuation of this route would be Extra Episode). Kazusa True is where you break up with Setsuna and go to Vienna with Kazusa. Same with Setsuna True, you tell Setsuna that you met her in Strasbourg. Haruki decides to be true to himself and break up with Setsuna and be Kazusa's lover, this results with Haruki quitting his job as an editor and becoming Kazusa's manager, going against Takeya and Io who wants you to be with Setsuna, and getting beaten up by Setsuna's brother. Both you and Kazusa take a plane to Vienna by the end of the route.(continuation of this route would be Kazusa Mini After Story and the 2016 Drama CD)

You can easily change Win7 and Win10 to Japanese locale without reinstalling, as long as you don't pick some stupid limited shit like home premium, starter, or whatever.
Then you can set time format and default languages as well if need be. And then set up an IME like MS's or Google's, maybe mozc if you want Google's but open source non-botnet.

The discs are hash exact though. Everything can be changed with settings. If it's not locale or display language, it's usually time/date format or maybe time zone.
Worst case you just use the disc again to 'update' to Japanese, or use a VM.

But of course you could just select Japanese from the get go if you're installing fresh. I always do that.

Well this is what i get with running Key stuff for example without using alpharomdie on it and the only none japanese thing on my Win7 is that it wasn't installed in the language.

Playing 残念な姉との幸福論 And currently doing the blonde sister route, and came into a scene where subbed or M'd in classroom if that's the right term for it. I don't like protag being like that so I'm not sure if I should play it or how long is left.

The common route was Ok though, not cringe or shounen-ey like a lot of moe and comedy stuff today is

Hmm, at least setting everything to Japanese after installing in English worked for some Siglus games I've just tried.

I dug up my old copy of はつゆきさくら and you were right about it not responding to regular locale changing, but all it took was changing the display language to Japanese then setting the timezone to Japan Standard Time to get it running. Granted, it took me a while to find the Japanese language pack because my windows updater refused to get it automatically but all in all it turns out you don't actually need a Japanese ISO, unless you have some other examples that check something hidden even deeper.

Leaning that way. Just curious, are the individual routes as long as the common routes?

Sometimes its tough to predict a game from the vndb tags, played this thinking it would be a light comic vn

I wish it stayed that way, Suzune's route I think was something else I didn't want to see.

暁の護衛 has a pretty cool MC though sometimes he's 2cool4school
レミニセンス from the same writer is the exact opposite. Hetare as fuck, but still enjoyable

Then there are a few other games like クリサイアの果実 and Cross Channel but you probably already know them.

Didn't expect to run into a spoiler of sorts on something this old but I guess I have bad luck. It's pic related, isn't it? Here's hoping it's as heavy as you make it sound (though it's all ages so it can't be that bad I guess); I did sign up for an utsuge after all.

Personally I'm very excited for it since I love the combination of plot + twisted dark sexual content. First game in 9 years from Nitroplus that looks interesting premise wise as well.

It's too graphically demanding for my pc so I'm sad I can't play it.
