>>19496450
No problem, I tried the trial and it was good so buying it just made sense. I wasn't going to find it anywhere else.
>>19496459
I've been avoiding Aokana because it feels like the kind of game I won't respect very much. I lose interest in a game the second I stop respecting the author and his ideas, and start feeling like the game exists just to sell merchandise of the heroines. Aokana gives me bad vibes from what I've seen of it. And it doesn't help that the company went under and the sequel/bonus stuff got cancel.
>>19496456
Don't you want to buy the DVDs and support the anime?

>>19496494
>Don't you want to buy the DVDs and support the anime?

Sorry. Please provide it.

Will the new Subahibi chapter be translated?

>>19496515
I don't think so. But that's not a topic for here.

>>19496494
You've never read anything by Watanabe, right? Let me assure you that AoKana is 100% not what you've described, he's very much an author who writes things purely because he thinks they'll be interesting and fun.

>>19496518
Watanabe isn't the head writer, Kio Nachi is. Watanabe helped but it isn't his project.

Quof.

>>19496515

Didn't realize were on page 10, gonna repost this.

I just finished Humanity. What a good ge that was. >>16733721 's review of it is extremely spot on. I just really wish the writer toned down the comedy because dang was I exhausted by the end of it. At the very least, the comedy was funny enough that I never got bored per se.

If anyone's around who also finished (all five of us in the world), I want to talk about the ending: The ending seems to imply that the entire game was a cold sleep induced dream for some random guy. But the credit sequence shows that Chii-chan was the one keeping the school clean, so it can't all have been a dream. I really don't want to think the writer wrote this whole story with the ending "and all of this happened inside some kid's head" in mind. So was it something real that the kid just happened to dream about? Or what? I gotta admit, I was like "holy shit no way" when the "Wake Up" option appeared, but the ending was so vague about the truth I'm not sure how to feel. Either the ending was the greatest jape of all time or it was a weird cliche that landed poorly.

>>19496707
>If anyone's around who also finished (all five of us in the world)

>>19496538
Watanabe came up with the core ideas and concept, FC is 100% his original invention. Kio Nachi's job is more to flesh out the raw ideas and turn it into a structured story, you can see this clearly if you've read Watanabe's other games which Kio Nachi worked as director on.

>>19496707
Oh fuuuck, I think I figured it out while thinking about it hours later.

The boy is a metaphor for you, the reader. The game has ended and thus it's time to "wake up" - the cold sleep was a metaphor for people like us turning to media as an escape from the real world. Throughout the novel it's emphasized how important it is to spend time with other people and actually live a life, hence the final scene being a bunch of friends playing kick the can, while the rest of humanity is stuck up inside giant pyramids dreaming about their paradise. The game ending like it does, with a boy "waking up" from cold sleep, is like the author saying it's time for us to wake up. Even if we go to that island where the game took place, we won't find Ren or Natsuki or any of the game characters there, even though we "dreamed" of spending time with them. But there will be people out there. And we can become friends with them. We just have to wake up and go outside.

Realizing this has instantly elevated the game from "pretty good" to "godly". That was the most perfect ending possible. I think the writer maybe should have made it more clear because I think the anon who reviewed the game didn't get it either, but now that I figured it out (I think), I'm actually extremely impressed. It's really beautiful.

Why didn't you tell me 君と目覚める幾つかの方法 is strongly influenced by Nier: Automata?

I had to learn this from some guy's review I randomly clicked on.

>>19496786
But it's a shitty moege, it can't be by Watanabe!

I like this sentence.

Someone record a nice scene like pic related with voiced Tomosane please.

>>19496930
If you have that screenshot, then can't you already hear it?

senren banka was comfy

>>19496937
That's the old version, as you can discern from the resolution and text box.

>>19496961
Its probably better if you just get to that part and record it yourself: https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/2524566

>>19496977
I don't care enough to download and skip through the game for that. I just posted in case the people who are already have it want to.

>>19496494
What's wrong with Watanabe/Kio Nachi/Aokana? Not trying to argue, just legit curious.

>>19497036
I haven't played it, so I have absolutely zero critiques for Kio Nachi or Aokana. I just don't like the vibes I've gotten from what I've seen. Over time I've become actively hostile towards eroge built around writing heroines that exist solely to make otaku losers happy and to sell merchandise/game copies. In other terms, I suppose I look for sincerity in characters/writing/etc, and if it becomes clear a heroine is primarily written to satisfy otaku fantasies, I lose that sense of sincerity and I stop caring whatsoever about the character. Everything I've seen from Aokana has given me those "this character was written to be a sex doll for otaku" vibes. Of course, I'm not actually saying that's the case, since I haven't read it. I'm just not currently interested in reading it, because it seems to me there's a good chance that will be the case. It doesn't help that Sprite was aggressively marketing merchandise for the heroines in such a way that made me sincerely question whether they had been devised with selling said merchandise in mind.

Basically, I'm autistic and prejudicial. I've read over 200 eroge and over that time I've come to really not like some things which I go overboard to avoid. I don't think I need to tell anyone here about just how many eroge have two-dimensional heroines scrubbed of any real depth or personality to satisfy otaku. In my quest to avoid encountering games like that I avoid a lot of big-name things, and Aokana is one of those things. Though I respect Watanabe enough to maybe give it a shot one day. The visuals are certainly appealing.

>>19497358
Fortunately for you, Watanabe actually wrote down specifically how he went about designing and writing Misaki as a character.

挫折を引きずるし、気持ちを使い分けるんじゃなくて、両方の気持ちを同時に抱えてる性格なんじゃないかな？　と考えたときにみさきがみえた気がしました。
そう考えた時、みさきさんを作るのはやめよう、と考えました。下手に作ると、性格の矛盾が目立ってします。性格だから矛盾したこと考えて普通でしょ？　みたいな書き方にしよう。自由に動き回るみさきを見て描写するような書き方をしよう、と。
夕方の校舎での2人の邂逅シーンや、秋の大会が始まったときにみさきが届いたと思うシーンは、僕が考えて書いた気が全然しないんです。みさきが勝手にやったことを描写した、という印象が強い。そういうのはいいんだけど、明らかにストーリーとしてダメな方向に進みたがることもあって、そっちに行かないようにみさきを説得するのが大変でした。それも楽しかったですが……。
無論、僕が1人で作ったわけではなく、色々なアドバイスをくれた木緒なちさん、陸奥竜介さん。素敵なイラストの悠木いつかさん、鈴森さん、丹羽ことりさん。ぴったりな声をあててくれた声優の麻倉杏美さん。他大勢のスタッフのみなさんのおかげで、みさきは存在してます。

蒼の彼方のフォーリズム-Fly me to your sky!-より抜粋

>>19497438
That's pretty interesting. My cynicism may have gotten the better of me here.

>>19497450
She's the only good heroine in it too.

>>19497450
To be fair Misaki is the only good character, the others are very much the otaku wish fulfillment you speak of.

>>19497450
Maybe, but if you have those issues, one look at the recent history of the dev of that game will make you puke. It's definitely one of the worst offenders of the MILK.

But well, I never got far into it, as it really wasn't good and uses a bunch of protag tropes that I really don't like. You know, the whole "painful past" and "trauma", but the moment your typical gullible pink haired girl appears, everything will be fine fast enough.
It's actually one of the bigger otaku catering tropes out there, as this is usually done so loners and guys who tend to refuse any invitations and so on can identify a little, until it's thrown out of the window in favor of your typical moe heroines. But I honestly don't think you can play any moege, if you really absolutely hate the whole "designed for otaku" aspect.

>>19497454
>>19497453
Oh. Feels bad, man.
>>19497462
I played Walkure Romanze years ago and it's basically that. I wasn't a fan of it then so I probably won't like it now.

I try not to classify things with terms like "moege" but yeah at this point I avoid almost anything that looks like a soulless dating simulator, which is pretty rough as a visual novel fan. So much is just waifu garbo. That's why I was reading an obscure doujin game that came out eight years ago! Hah.

>>19497525
Don't listen to those guys, they're completely wrong. The other characters in AoKana are just as complex and well-written as Misaki, I just picked her because she specifically got her own novel about her with that passage in it. And not just the heroines, AoKana has a vast lineup of extremely likable and interesting side characters, both male and female.
Honestly, AoKana as a story works similarly to how Watanabe described Misaki, the story is written so naturally it really feels like things are occurring because of the lifelike and complex characters just doing what they would normally do in this situation, and yet because of the deep and unique setting it creates such an interesting and enjoyable narrative. Despite its outwards appearance with all the cute girls on the box cover it's such a fresh experience, and really doesn't deserve to be compared to the kind of games people would normally classify as "moege".

>>19497525
Tbh only routes worth reading were Celia, Ayako (Since the MC actually jousts), Akane and Noels... (2 of those are in the FD anyway)

Are there no nipples because it's all ages?

>>19496707
Kamige.
soon six who read this

>>19497827
I laughed almost every time the doctor made that expression. What a guy.

Also, I think you'll appreciate knowing this is what his full sprite looks like.

>>19497796
There's the shadow of nipples, that's more than most otaku media.

>>19497586
>The other characters in AoKana are just as complex and well-written as Misaki
No, not even close, the side cast is one note, half the heroines barely do anything related to the actual game and the main heroine is a huge mary sue.

>>19497796
>wanting to look at a dude's nipples
Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong thread, /lgbt/ is two blocks down.

>>19498051
Sometimes men are just the better women. But, while maybe something eroge players tend to forget, you don't need to stick your little buddy into every woman around.

>>19498034
that air turn kick spam 1st tourney and the bloody pulling off no balancer flying 1st try in a finals.All this with only 2-3 months experience......Took me straight out of it, she pulls off so much BS. I feel i enjoyed Misakis route even more thanks to it though..

in the mood for some good ol pink/red haired-twintail-tsundere heroine, any vns with decent routes for this type? Someone like Reika from akagoei preferably..

>>19497453
But there’s Mashiro who is even better

>>19498051
If it's mentioned it should be visible.

>>19498413
Embrace the blondes. The reds are usually not tsundere. Reika isn't really a character much defined by that either. Nor does she have much of twintails, but whatever..

>>19498504
Not too fussed about the hair honestly, If they are somewhat like Reika personality wise ( its been 4 years so who knows accurate my memory of her is though), shoot.

>>19498557
The only character that immediately comes to my mind is Luna from Tsuriotsu. If characterization is what you want. If it's just, for example, the cynical part or whatever, there's obviously much more and it's easier.

>>19498649
hmmm,trying to think of specifics from memory is kind of hard since the more i think about it the more im starting to think what i liked stemmed a lot from the pairing with the MC and how they interacted.

Maybe its the "refinedness" and ojousamaness since i kinda relate her to Light novels heroines like Aria from hidan no Aria, Louise from zero no tsukaima or Claire from seirei tsukai who are also "ojousamas".

>>19496954

You mean it helped you fall asleep because it was so boring.

>>19496954

>>19499213
Sweetie, it was posted in the least thread.

>>19497036
Not that guy, but I don't really like Watanabe because he has a pretty shitty sense of humor that irritates me more than it amuses me. I really want to jerk it to Misaki but knowing that her route is written by this dude kills my interest in it.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Subahibi. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of philosophy most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Tomosane's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Wittgenstein literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Subahibi truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Tomosane's existential catchphrase "fucking faggots," which itself is a cryptic reference to Tractatus Logico Philosophicus. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as SCA-DI's genius wit unfolds itself on their PC monitors. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Kimika tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Anyone has h-code for the new subahibi?

Learn to catch the irony after that copypasta, brainlet. And you think you're ready to read subahibi?

I personally separate my life to pre-Subahibi and post-Subahibi periods, as reading it has completely changed how I view the world. It taught me to appreciate life much more (or rather in a different way) than I used to and also be more honest with myself. It may have a similar effect on you, or it may do nothing if it’s not your kind of thing, but one thing is clear — you’ve got to read it even if it’s the last thing you do.

>>19499534
>catch the irony
>brainlet
Hello my fellow 12 year old.

Is this the best eroge releases month in years?
I have at least 5 games I am interested in.

And I am really happy with this new trend of a nukige with plot or plotge with a lot of H-scenes. Though you guys seems to hate these type of games.

>>19499606
I don't know about the best month but it sure has been a good year.

>>19499606
It's one of the weaker ones even in this year. The Nitroplus/Clockup titles have potential, other than that nothing really. Nukishima might be fun in a memey way, but probably not good.

>>19499623
except from Rance what was good?

I can't wait to read 宿星のガールフレンド

>>19499606
I liked last year more so far.

>>19499656
Summer Pockets, go ahead and laugh if you want.

>>19499606
The month is great if you like mostly vanilla lewds and nukige. Otherwise there's absolutely nothing. But don't worry, next month is better. We can finally be a teddy bear. Provided it's not getting delayed again.

>>19499646
You have Euphoria's author new game too. Like I said if you love nukige with story you will probably enjoy these games at least.

>>19499668
I won't laugh, I don't think it was bad either though I wouldn't put it in a top personally

Anything else?
Seriously curious, I only played the big titles like Rance X and Summer Pockets this year so I feel like I'm missing out

>>19499726
The Asapro, Tyrhhia, Lost Echoes and Buttseek were some good ones. I'd put all of these above Summer Pockets too.

>>19499758
>Lost Echoes
I don't think I read anyone's opinion of it here
Is it good?

>>19499758
Can't really speak for asapro games because I've been avoiding them since hitoren, but those other three were very disappointing. I'd probably still put them above summer pockets, but that isn't exactly saying much.

>>19499726
Imopara 3
Onikiss
Riddle Jokers
Yorikure
Karigura

>>19499774
What did you find disappointing?

>>19499778
tyrhhia, lost echoes, and buttseek

>>19499784
I mean what about them.

>>19499791
Tyrhhia was way worse than the rest of the series in pretty much every way.
Lost Echoes was very boring and I ended up dropping it after a few hours because I don't like wading through hours of garbage in hopes of it eventually getting less bad.
I felt the same way with Buttseek, but I probably should have expected that because I'm not a fan of the writer's other stuff.

>>19499774
>>19499758
Karigurashi was pretty terrible. Using the same old shitty jokes and skits for each character over and over again repeatedly got old pretty fast for me.

>>19499869
I actually had that issue as well. I wouldn't call it terrible, but after some time of common only blondie delivered some good stuff and even she ended up losing steam around the time you go into the routes. I'd say it's kinda underwhelming, similar to how I felt how Summer Pockets was. Though Summer Pockets was also very very unpolished and crude in some ways, which Karigurashi wasn't.

>>19499803
>What exactly did you not like?
>It was bad.
Well thanks for the exchange I guess.

>>19499656
>>19499726
Kimimeza

I started playing sumpo and I really liked Miki, got to the OP and realized she doesn't even have a route. I feel like I'm the dumbest person in this thread.

>>19499368
redditors get out

Is gore screaming show interesting?

>>19501277
I thought it was pretty solid. It definitely has a nice creepy/gloomy atmosphere a lot of the time and a soundtrack that fits that pretty well.

Unless you get bad endings though it's not actually very gory.

>>19501277
The plot, setting, characters, music, artstyle... I'd say the gore is the least important part. I loved how the mystery part keeps stepping up until it becomes a total mindfuck.
Is Goa the best villain ever?

>>19496300
>In conclusion, ero is the cancer killing eroge (not really) and as bizarre as it may sound I'm a lot more interested in reading all-ages romance games now as opposed to 18+ romance games. There's nothing wrong with sex, but I think a lot of romance is corrupted into a sort of porn in eroge, and I would like to read more routes born purely from the writer's desire to tell a good romantic story as opposed to routes with porn stuffed in them.
I think Marmalade is the worst offender in this regard. They go with no sex at all in the common route and the start of the heroine routes, full of lots of cute moe sillyness, and then suddenly it's SEX SEX SEX and you never get a fucking breather in-between, and all the characterization is butchered because everything bit of the heroine's character is sucked away so she can become your cocksleeve and nothing else.

>>19502329
This is why I only read common routes and then drop the game once the confession scene is over.

>>19502329
What are some titles that actually incorporate H-scenes into the plot or have well-written ero scenes? Most of the time the writer pretty much phones it in when it comes to the ero parts.
The only company that did the ero scenes somewhat well was elf.

>>19502414
>What are some titles that actually incorporate H-scenes into the plot
Personally I'd also love to see an eroge that incorporates, say, s&m power dynamics and psychology into the plot, like Nana to Kaoru.

But I don't think it'll ever happen.

>>19502670
Didn't mugen kairou 2 do that?

>>19502329
>I think Marmalade is the worst offender in this regard.
But you have to admit that their ero scene are extremely hot man. To the point you wonder if it's ok to put this much erotic H-scene in so called "pure love moege"

>>19502843
Their last game's scenes weren't particularly great though. They were LONG (about twice the average per CG), but that's it. Honestly, that actually made them more bad than good, as the same CG is there for half an eternity, and you have even less progression in them than normal, and as such more random filler ahn~.

>>19502843
My dick really took a beating with their previous game. Thoroughly enjoyed Not-kashima and ushio

can I fuck it(if I find it)

>>19503268
You need to catch it with a pokeball first.

>>19503274

Is it a waste of time to read SubaHibi if I don't have the level of reading comprehension or education necessary to really start to approach interpreting and understanding it on anything but a surface level?

>>19503349
si

>>19503349
why would you cut your teeth on something like that anyway
go read other stuff

>>19503349
You really don't, unless you want to figure out the meaning of everything in the 1st chapter.

>>19503349
Read Fushigi Densha instead.

The ending to Shiroha's route is the cutest thing ever.

>>19503426
And then Alka just erases it and makes you go through an inferior copy of Shiroha's route

>>19503430
Flat out better.

>>19504090
No.

Looks like a nice set of characters. Adult heroines hooray. White hair girl looks good.

>>19504889
glad they said it'll get an 18+ release if it reaches the goal, but I just wonder how long after the normal release it'd be

>>19504889
This better have NTR

>>19505426
Presently I see no reason to assume it's going to be any different than any of Overdrive's other music games.

>>19503349
Subahibi is really not that hard to read, but you will definitely enjoy the experience more if you're not reading it at glacial speeds.

>>19505426
It's the last Overdrive game, so maybe. I spoke to my grandpa recently, who's cleaning the toilets in the building Overdrive rent their business rooms in and he spoke to them some time ago. Seems like they wanna go out with a bang and use all kinds of things that the typical eroge otaku hates, like not virgin heroines and whatnot, but only reveal it later on so it comes as a surprise. I haven't heard anything about NTR from him, but it may just happen.

>>19506169
is your grandpa onikage?

>>19506169
They really have nothing to lose anymore, they should really take risks.

Is it required that I play part 1 first, or is this playable as a stand-alone game?

>>19498051
I decided to take your implication seriously and go "full gay". I haven't clicked a single event with a woman's face on it yet.

>>19506279
Yes it is. Though the series isn't worth bothering with.

>>19506459
Do you mean it is required, or I can play it stand alone? Only going to bother because I really like the VA of this character and imouto characters in general.

>>19503391
somebody seed it

You guys better not be getting me hyped for nothing. If Musica does not have NTR, I'm going to be very pissed.

Is _summer worth reading? I wanted something with summer theme and got a used copy in a local store.

As long as it doesn't devolve in some sanctimonious rant about purity and true love, it might be ok.

How related to White Album 1 is White Album 2? I haven't started either and I wanted to know what I'd miss if I decided to skip the first one.

>>19507805
A few songs in 1 show up in 2, that's it. Story/character wise there's no relation.

So can anyone here give a summary of what the new chapter of Subahibi is about? All I know is that there's Yuki H-scenes.

>>19508027
Other than some backstory for Master and a good credits picture it's mostly unneeded Yuki junk. There's also a choice to continue a pointless conversation where you basically read Scaji's twitter for 20 minutes with some epic japanese manzai thrown in.

>>19507805
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm234204
pretty closely related

>>19507037
No updates and the artist left Nitroplus a few years ago, so either we'll never get it or they might restart the project in many years.

>>19508075
I read somewhere that it had been revealed that Ayana messed with Tomosane's mind to make him see her as Yuki and married her?

Will Makura ever make another new game under the KeroQ label?

I wonder if these kinds of eroge-only/minor seiyuus make an alright living. Must be hard work with so many titles.

Bokuten's pretty fun.

The scene with the revelation of the dog's corpse and Takigawa was really sad and heartwarming in Nanairo.

I found the Sakura no Uta manga from like ten years ago, should I read it or the VN first?

>>19509922
It probably has very little to do with what the VN ended up becoming.

Could anyone tell me whether there is a time limit to getting to rank 1 in the shimamon fighting minigame? I'd like to beat everyone in the list at least once, and I'm wondering whether I would have to do it with reloads, or if I can just do it normally.

>>19511529
Of course there is, which they don't tell you either. You shouldn't bother with it though. It's one hell of a shit and unpolished game.

Tried to use ITHVNR for 9 -nine- ep 2, and I got this. Already use "auto suppress blabla" and it's still like that.
What do?

>>19511652
Learn Japanese.

>>19511622
Well, it's not too complex, but I still somewhat like it. The fact that the fighters play their monsters in order from top to bottom every time bothers me though. They should've randomized that.

>>19511695
This

>>19509922
That manga is even worse than sakuuta 2008 trial. Sakuuta was supposed to be first makura VN but sca-ji was embarrassed of his writing skills so it took him all these years to become kami author and release sakuuta in 2015

>>19511695
That's for learning japanese you dumbo

It's an older version than ITHVNR. Supports less engines. But has a few more features/options.

>>19511776
Ah, thanks anon.

>>19511776
It still doesn't work, but somehow in ITHVNR you can just decrease the "inject delay" to 2000 to make it works. Damn.

>>19511728
There's stuff before that as well. Although nothing of that matters with the broken RNG system anyway. A certain 4star just kills everything but the strongest 3 cards. That game is so bad...

>>19511895
Yeah, now I've seen a fighter who called the middle card first. Do I have to get better food to get better cards? I've tried reloading once and setting the same food (the rarest I have), and it gave me the exact same cards.

Okay, 08月07日 is the bad end cutoff, both for the monster fighting shit and if you don't do anything. I'm gonna stop bothering with it now, as it's just no fun anymore.

I use a texthooker just to redisplay text from games that have unreadable fonts, no bully.

I like this dev's use of sprites. Sad they seem to be gone. That recent game by the same artist and such, but a new company, wasn't doing this anymore.

>>19512700
>unreadable fonts
Examples?

I use a texthooker to learn new vocab and grammar structures, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I use texthooker just to extract text and convert VN to LN so that i can read them on my phone

I use a texthooker just to piss off all the cunts in this thread.

Please also join us next time as well, when it's once again time for our show "I use a texthooker".
We'll feature answers to:
-Why is hooking text pissing of my friends?
-Why can there be no accurate script size?
-Is text hooking related to how fucking hot it is right now?
-Wait, what about this "friends" in the first question! Where can you get those in the first place?

Also, don't forget our text hooking partner search. Wanna hook some text together? Hot babes and dudes in YOUR town will be waiting for you and your awesome hooks.

>>19512849
There was this one game where it was like bladerunner but it didn't really work because it made all the kanji components look completely different. It's not common but it's not unheard of. Usually though it's just because the text can be tiny and I have very bad eyesight.

Tsumi to Batsu no Shoujo makes me really hard I should have played that earlier.

>>19512849
I've had some older games render the font super fucking small (or even not at all) sometimes for whatever reason and hooking it was more convenient than trying to narrow down what the issue was.

how long until a mojika torrent?

>>19513696
It's not even out yet.

I use texthooker because I don't know japanese

>>19514632
I don't even read visual novels, get on my level.

>>19514641
I use a texthooker because I'm blind

>>19514641
Oh this. Most people will never know the satisfaction of selecting a VN, downloading and installing it and then finally setting up everything so you could read it right away.

>>19514696
Personally, I prefer downloading and installing without ever opening them.

>>19514655
To make bigger fonts on those old 640x480 games? That's a good idea. Check out tools like Sizer to double the window size, though sometimes it doesn't work with graphics; depends on how the image rendering was coded.

>>19515011
I'm pretty sure he means he needs to feed the text into text-to-speech software.

Finally finished Summer Pockets. The production values were even better than 1st Beat. Even if it didn't blow my mind, I still loved it and look forward to the next Key VN.

Near the end, when Kyouko mutters "It's fine like this, right, Hitomi?" What did she mean? I can't tell if she's mourning Hitomi, or uncertain whether it was okay to let Hairi take the paper airplane.

>>19515037
>feed the text into text-to-speech software
What else besides text would he be feeding into text-to-speech software?

>>19515675
Cheeseburgers.

People here actually read eroge? I thought everyone look at the CG and make up their own story.

>>19515786
I delude myself into thinking I know what I'm reading, when all it feels like is ignoring the particles and ripping out comprehension from context and word definitions

anyone here planning on reading erewhon?

>>19518399
reading it right now.

>tfw mojika won't finish downloading until the end of my daily nuki-window

>>19518399
why do all these village rituals involve gang banging ????I mean i guess its by clock up so expected.....

Might wait for the sexual tags for each character to get updated before reading it. Im going to assume the main 2 girls arent just going to be involved in "virgin sex"...

>>19518432
it's downloading so fucking slow for me for some reason, like 100kb/s

>>19518482
It's how torrents work, my good man. It might be faster to download with the DDL sites, but I'm too lazy to bother right now.

>>19518443
fuck off retarded moebuta

>>19518535
i dont read NTR, just wank to all the H scenes in em..

>>19518541
then go read any of the 99% of garbage eroge out there that are designed specifically for braindead idiots like you and leave games that try something else alone

>>19518545
>that try something else
>ritual gangbangs
So new, so innovative, never seen before.

>>19518545
Imagine getting this defensive over a Clockup game.

>>19518541
if it makes you feel any better, i think only 1 of the girls is a part of the group orgy shit
the other girl doesnt show up in any of the group stuff, at least on the website's preview gallery

>>19518541
pretty much all good NTR games have lengthy sections that characterize both the heroine and the protagonist (perhaps through backstory or simple character interactions) long before the NTR happens. you have to really read the whole thing in order to get the intended affect. its truly the literary fetish, and i'm saying this unironically.

i've read so many NTR games and it truly amazes me what some guys do with the formula

>>19518575
>its truly the literary fetish, and i'm saying this unironically.
It's the raging at how incredibly retarded females are written fetish.

>>19518422
Can you share the crack? I downloaded a release without one and it's a bother to redownload the whole vn again.

>>19518575
my issue with NTR games is it almost always feels like the intended effect is to make you feel betrayed, and i just don't like that
it doesnt help that the mc is a fucking retard almost every time as well

>>19518602
You are acting as if that isn't the case in other games as well.
I myself have never read any NTR, but things like "the MC is a fucking retard" or "the girl is fucking stupid" are insanely common reasons for drama in the stuff I do read. And then you have the good works, where things are more believable. Why wouldn't that also exist for NTR?

>>19518559
i mean if the ending is like somewhat happy then im fine with reading it(MC runs from the village with the girls or something. Or Netori) I don't mind if the heroines aren't "pure" I just want a happy end at least..

If i don't see some heads falling by the Katana one of the chicks has im gonna be disappointing.

>>19518545
Yeah cause ritual gangbangs in remote villages are new..... With NTR im more reading them cause netori is too rare, so i dont really bother reading cause i know that the mc is probably pathetic and i dont care to read about how oblivious he is..At most ill read the chicks monologues and H scene lines.

>>19518612
probably, but it still doesn't change the fact that the subject material just isn't something i'm interested in
i'm not the original guy but I do plan on reading Erewhon however because it doesnt feel like an ntr-focused story, just that it happens to have group sex and one of the 2 brides is a slut

Can gaijins buy DL versions of VNs off DLSite/official websites? Interested in coughing up for Summer Pockets

G線上の魔王 torrent when?

So what's the twist in Mojika?

Just started Tenkiame, looks pretty comfy and the Emote doesn't look like ass either. Shiro is pure hnnng.

>>19518678
The protagonist is schizophrenic and none of the girls really exist.

>>19518686
Surely not something so standard.

>>19518675
http://erogedownload.com/downloads/g-senjou-no-maou/ HD version from the comments sounds like its not prepatched.

>>19518690
No, friend, I mean the rerelease from today.

>>19518686
Hey, I can do better than that.

The guy doesn't even exist, and the protag is actually the girl who does the fake confession. She felt like shit because the other girls didn't really like her, so she made this cool story up to impress them, but in the end ended up imagining all the scenes where she is raped as a form of self-hatred, while the scenes with the other girls is her way of dealing with the hatred she feels towards the other girls for not being as cool as them.

>>19518691
wait its released? Whats different?

>>19518703
Nothing.

>>19503994
Preach it brother. Ushio had some great H scenes but I wish she had more variety in her poses; imo she had too many weird pov scenes. I really, really wanted to see Ushio in the mating press/tominagi position like Sasa and Raiha get.

This October it looks like Ushio's va is doing another loli role in Deatte 5-fun. I hope she does more eroge in time, I just can't get enough of her.

>>19518715
This was one of my favorite scenes with Ushio. Her acting like a housewife fixing the MC's tie with Kanon getting visibly jealous.

>>19518684
>this looks familiar

>>19518545
your IQ is off the charts

>>19518642
Yea, DLSite isn't even asking for a adress when you register there.

>>19518744
Well thats depressing. I have to imagine some of the writing is now forced in a direction that could take advantage of recycling
Or has this been going on for years and my new is showing

>>19518871
>Well thats depressing.
I don't think it is that major. Both studios that made Tsuushinbo and Tenkiame are subsidiaries of Interheart, so recycling some stock background CGs isn't unheard of.

The only thing I see similar between the two titles is that they both take place in a rural setting.

>>19518871
>Or has this been going on for years and my new is showing
yes. even with free stock assets and music devs can make radically different games using the same resources

Is this really the first time you fags have seen the same background in different games?

>>19518888
Ah, that makes sense, same parent company. Also those digits.. 認めざるをえない

>>19518914
I'm as observant as a female driver texting her girlfriends organizing brunch

>>19502329
>I think Marmalade is the worst offender in this regard. They go with no sex at all in the common route and the start of the heroine routes, full of lots of cute moe sillyness, and then suddenly it's SEX SEX SEX
As much as I liked Mashimaro I have to agree with you here. Eventually you reach a point where you have an H scene and when it ends there's a small filler scene in between the lead up to the next one.

Personally though I didn't mind it very much because like that other anon said, the H scenes were extremely hot. Even if said H scenes were dragged out quite a bit.

My biggest gripe with H scenes in general is with the lighting they use, it looks as if there's a fluorescent/LED spotlight shining on the characters. I know they do this for visual clarity and what not, but I really like how some studios use lightning in creative ways to enhance the mood. Specifically, Niko and More use another style of lighting that makes it actually look like it is taking place indoors with incandescent bulbs. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I remember Golden Hour's H scenes looked really good. It's not used in every scene - daylight H scenes still have that LED light look - but the nighttime scenes are perfect imo. See pic for example.

>>19518977
IS THAT A FUCKING NIPPLE

So mojika downloaded after all the waiting, but it's (or it looks like) a digital copy, and it just asks for DMM credentials when I start it up. There's also a patch_install.exe that only gives an error when I start it up. Does it work for you guys?

Also, I expected an .iso since it says 初回生産限定版 and limited editions are usually physical, aren't they?

anyone got a hook code for mojika that doesn't duplicate or omit characters?

>>19521031
If you're just using it to look up kanji, this shouldn't be an issue.

*tips fedora*

>>19521031
kek I knew someone would ask
I wanted to ask too, but then I didn't want to be THAT GUY. The text is pretty easy though, so I'm not complaining.

This is getting hard to read and it's just the beginning. Fuck this bitch, seriously.

That's what I get for having a ancient PC.

>>19521599
i guess i should try... i'm not even sure mom would realize from a single glance that this is porn (i have open headphones though)

>>19521644
The sex scenes are fairly relevant though, the mojika during them is pretty cool.

Damn, this is too cute, but there are many references that I can't get it unless I read the first game. So maybe it's time to read the prequel first, I guess, at least until the fire scene.

>>19521687
I know, I wasn't thinking of skipping them at all. just read the second one where he makes her think from her kokoro that he is the master and she is the slave I agree that the mojika is totally awesome

damn, I can't keep reading this without masturbating so I'll just stop for now. the game is good though

>>19522014
Wait are you talking about Erewhon or Mojika?

>>19521701

Dude just buy a laptop or something, you can find a really cheap ones with good specs these days

Should I feel bad for the girls in Mojika? Because I really don't

>>19522843
For Mayu, what they do to both Satoru and her is pretty fucked up in general even if you think she's just being selfish.

>>19522833
I have a laptop, but it's not good enough to run mojika. I'm just reluctant to buy another when I already have a working one (even if it would improve my eroge life a lot)

>>19522833
Not even sure what's wrong with my specs but I keep getting a "failed to create a direct3d device" error. Old video card, but it has the latest drivers and supports dx11 with enough ram and everything. Maybe my processor is too shitty as I am using a AMD Athlon II x4 640.

This whole scene was really well done, especially the ending, I have to give it to Kirara for being such a dumb bitch.

>>19520402
You're still obviously a braindead DJT EOP. If you weren't, you'd just open Sukebei, set category to "Games" and be done with it.

so impressions so far on "抜きゲーみたいな島に住んでる貧乳はどうすりゃいいですか" those that have been reading it?

>>19527107
It's not actually a nukige but a bakage.

Finished Kirara's route in mojika, because for some reason I ended up in it.
My thoughts on it are that I have never been so thankful of japanese censorship because reading through a certain part of it hurts like hell and the game pulls no punches in general.

>>19527495
>the game pulls no punches
I see what you did there

>>19527517
Not intended, but funny in retrospect.

>>19527534
As a side note, Kirara's route feels like an inferior clone of a certain other game's route, they're very similar plot and theme-wise but the other route was way better presented and a far more powerful and impressive read, so I really didn't like Kirara's route because I kept comparing them. (spoilers for both mojika and the other game) Dasaku's Toboso route

How many foot scenes are there in Mojika?

>>19527608
I mostly enjoyed for how hard Suteru breaks and how it gets to the final scene of her route that's just seven kinds of fucked up all tightly packed.
And because Kirara deserves it for being such a cunt.

Am I the only one here who got Tsubomi's route first in mojika? I wasn't even planning on getting it but I got too curious. It's an extremely boring and uneventful route with 2/3 of it being just h scenes though so maybe it's better that no one got it first besides me. Also you get murdered in the end

>>19527876
>2/3 of it being just h scenes
That's normal for the routes, but the h scenes and the narration tend to be pretty great.

so how many routes are there in mojika?

>>19528447
5, Mayu/Megu/Kirara/Tsubaki works in a branch off system where Tsubaki is the main and the rest stop at certain parts. Then the true route, there are also a couple of longish bad ends.

>>19527876
>just h scenes
That depends on the writer knowing how to deal with good h-scenes, and not just あああああああああああぁぁぁぁぁぁぁ！ three-line-long spam.

>>19528663
The mojika spices them up a lot, the girls don't need to narrate everything by voice so it feels more natural when they spend most fo the time
screaming.

I just read Mojika's prologue, it's looking good so far.
As >>19528782 said Mojika makes H scenes pretty good if implemented properly. I've only read the first so far though, so I'm not sure how well it's done.
The narration is pretty immersive while going straight to the point, so far so good.

How long is the mojika common route? I have been reading for hours and no choices have appeared.

>>19529193
I'm diagnosing you as mentally retarded.

>>19529193
kek
it's whether or not you lift your face, r-right?

So, guys. Is Mojika... fun?

>>19529446
It's only fun to play it with you anon-kun.

>>19529446
I'm not a big fan of the subject matter but the aesthetics and presentation are enough to keep me reading.

>>19529446
It's quite the opposite of fun.
I wouldn't recommend it to the local moebuta here

>>19529446
It makes me glad I was never bullied and is genuinely painful to read a lot of the time.

>>19529446
Yeah, I love it.

>>19529446
I felt like the writing was pretty dull.
I only did Naruko and Miyu route so far.

>>19529472
I feel like the game kind of exaggerates the bullying. No matter how ugly you are there's no way you'd get hated that hard just for being ugly. I know it's part of the narrative's gimmick, but it still feels exaggerated.

>>19529446
I'm pretty bored by the writing in general too, bullying as a subject isn't that rare in eroge and often done better
but the presentation is top notch and the mojika system pretty cool

>>19529595
I haven't read much but few other games have given me the feeling that fuck everyone and nothing good will ever happen.

Are there more VNs with full realistic POV scenes? The closest thing I know is Pure More's Shoujo series, but it's just few scenes.

>>19529581
>there's no way you'd get hated that hard just for being ugly.
He's insanely ugly, vomit inducing just from looking at his face, not to mention he is at that school to be bullied.

>" if you where in America you would have been shot dead at the spot with that face "

Is this true? I am on the start of Mojika and that was the most horrible line yet.

>>19529929
You played the game, good job.

>>19529961
The thing is, people get bullied hard for being ugly, unless you've forgotten how people act in general.

>>19529954
Yeah in America everyone has a gun, even kids starting from middle school. It's completely normal to shoot people you have a disagreement with and it's socially accepted.

>>19529954
His face is probably close to la luz extinguido, so yes, he should be shot on sight.

>>19529954
In America he'd be the one doing the shooting.

>>19529970
I've never seen anyone in real life get bullied for being ugly. And the school I frequented had some ugly bastards.

>>19529595
I can think of maybe a couple of examples, bullying in eroge is so often extremely retarded and over the top it's hard to take seriously, mojika I feel hits the realistic enough spot fairly well, because the stuff in the game happens in real life, even if it's weird.

>>19529986
Why aren't all americans shot on sight?

is there a scene back function in mojika? I blinked during a scene and some mojika scrolled past in one second, then disappeared and I couldn't read it. it seems important too, so I don't wanna miss it...

>>19530036
They get autosaved, so you can go back. The mojika are how you get into the routes, so whether you ignore them or not is important.

>>19530061
I mean after I chose to look up there was a mojika line that only appeared for like 2 seconds and I couldn't read it. but thanks, I didn't notice that they got autosaved

Are Grisaia: Phantom Trigger games connected to main series?
I've been looking for something choice-less, relaxed/funny and story-based to read leisurely, but if previous games are mandatory-reading I'll put triggers away for now.

Does anybody know any VNs similar to ABYSS -殺人クラブ?
