/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Go, /jp/, go! You can do it! I believe in you!

And this will end up like that touhou vn: never to be completed.

Stupid sexy video games distracting me from my /jp/ project!

For those who don't know, 4 visual novels are currently being worked on (5, if you count CurryButt's project).

Could you have used uglier type throughout the whole cover?

>>2033815

I'm surprised the VN projects seem to be taking off and are pretty active in general.

Too bad the other aspects seem mostly abandoned.

>>2033825
better than: never to be existed

>>2033833
parody, bro.

>>2033835
for now, drawfags and musicfags are few. although some drawfags have already aligned themselves to some projects, musicfags have yet to offer their services. of course, this could just be due to the project discussions in its beginning stages and a theme for the music have yet to be determined.

>>2033832
4? Seems like vaporware to me. Concentrate on two at most, but not 4.

>>2033857
Different people want to work on different projects, so they separated themselves into groups. Hopefully at least one of the groups will succeed.

>>2033868
The first one finished will be after Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

>>2033832
>5, if you count CurryButt's project

why wouldn't you?

Here, I've got one for you guys

Just be sure to make the characters lolis.

Use what you have learned from Japanese ZUN.

>>2033905
That and silly hats, lots of them

I would help you bros, but I'm starting a new semester at college real soon and can't compromise with anything like that.

>>2033832
>4 visual novels are currently being worked on (5, if you count CurryButt's project).

Sounds awesome, any chance of them being converted for VNDS use after they're done?

/jp/ anons seem a bit different when they are on a forum.

>>2033927
No, DS sucks

>>2033936
It's always like that, most anon act completely different outside 4chan, makes you think.

>>2033942

;_;

>>2033936
because forums have an effect on you. what with all that registering shit and post counts and e-penis waving. it's liike tripfaggotry except that the "tripfags" actually have more authority than you.

>>2033936
It's not all of /jp/.

>>2033949
Just kidding, bro, just kidding.

Shut the fuck up with this project.

Seriously, this is nothing but /a/-esque material; also, no Anon-project (other that KS) will ever be decent in anyway.

>>2033961
Also, you will accomplish nothing in life, get the fuck out and let us experiment.

>>2033961
> KS

ks was never decent. fucking cookie cutter VN

>>2033961
It's just one thread at a time, bro. If you don't like it, hide it and don't play our games when they're finished.

>>2033963
>>2033964
>>2033966
Stop acting like optimistic kids straight out of Gaia.

This project is godawful and you all know it is.

>>2033942
*cooldog.jpg*
what, not faggotry enough for ya?

>>2033936
How do you mean?

>>2033961

jealous much, KS staff?

>>2033971
I'm not even being optimistic about anything, I'm just telling you that KS is not a decent VN. It doesn't set itself apart from what I've seen. It's just a fucking clone of the myriad of VNs out there with a different titlte and plot and happens to be in english.

>>2033971
Ok faggot, I had it with you, get the fuck out now and let us just see how this turns out, if it turns out shit, well fuck we wasted our time, if it doesn't the yeah great, but giving up on everything is just what faggots like you do all the time.

>>2033978
>>2033977
I'm not say KS is decent; I'm just saying that they have actual solid material and length with a decent following outside of /jp/.

Also, every other Anon-project has crashed and burned and this one will be no different,

>>2033815
Can there be a VN that somehow combines a plot about 10 girls stuck somewhere and one is murdered each night until only one remains and a plot about a robot in a love/hate relationship with her creator that ends in tragedy?

Reported for advertising.

Moot agreed, don't bother him about it.

>>2033988
What?

>>2033986
They didn't even designed the characters, fuck

>>2033949
Hard to say. If ONscripter is used, it would probably be easier to convert. Renpy (which looks to be the engine of choice right now), no idea. Doubtful, but let's not get ahead of ourselves--still no guarantee if any subgroup will succeed.

>>2033988
the one girl that remains is the robot, and she killed the other girls to be the only one who gains the affections of her master, the protagonist. But curses him for building her in the first place, knowing that love between man and machine is something that should not be and kills her master and herself?

>>2033996
RAITA hardly gave much information about them.

They really built upon his passing idea.

How about a /jp/ roguelike?

>>2033992
>reported for advertising
>/jp/ project
>a project being worked on by people on /jp/

lolwut?

I've said this before in the other threads.

All it takes is some some bro to start the writin process all on his own. Nothing will get started if nobody decides, HEY, FUCK YOU GUYS, IM WORKING ON THIS VN REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK.

All it takes is the determination of one person to tell himself that his project will exist as long as he's still working on it, regardless of whether he has artists, mucisians, or writers.

Quit trying to assemble your ultimate team of devs, it's not going to fucking happen. Start your project solo THEN when you've got enough material, you can start recruiting.

>>2034022
To sum up my post: GET THE BALL ROLLING FIRST

You forget that despite the majority dropping out of all projects proposed, there will be a few who will continue.

http://jpwiki.co.cc/wiki/index.php?title=Dandelion_Girl

As long as there is one man on a mission, I will have hope.

>>2033978
truth

>>2034012
Sounds pretty simple.

Basically, no matter what you do, it will be successful as long as you:

1) Make the main character a loli.
2) Make most of the supporting characters lolis.

Know your audience!

>>2034051
More like just be another piece of bland shit.

>>2034057
i know, i prefer flavorful shit.

>>2034057

Enjoy your self-insertion VN, then.

You guys have learned nothing!

>>2034064
...Is any VN NOT self-insertion?

Chaos Head was shit and not just because we could all relate to it, but because in some ways the shut in/otaku protagonist has become something of a boring cliche.

>>2034051
As ironic as it may sound, I agree with you and will get to the drawing board when my job's peak period is over. Don't ask me when.

I'm working on mine along with a couple people I know (including waifu obviously). I'll post on the forums with what we have when we have more of an idea of what we're thinking of doing, then see what anon thinks. But one of the people helping me most with it will go on vacation for a week soon, so hopefully anon will help out with whatever we can think of by that time.

>>2034089
looking forward to seeing what you've got

>>2034093
Thanks, I saw this picture in /jp/ archive today and was trying to find a bigger version. Thank you.

>>2034089
but what's it supposed to be? a tsukihime spinoff with ciel? How original

Progfag and musicfag here, I'm offering my services.
Umm, I'd say go with KiriKiri right away, I've done some experimenting with it and it's pretty simple.

>>2034093
Currypasta, or something like it, will get mixed in somehow for sure. But at this point we're looking at basically a Ciel/curry-focused SoL to give it something other than 'hurr curry hurr' and only lasting 5 minutes - but at the same time not being DEEP or something too big for a little project like this.

>>2034102
better than nothing, eh

>>2034099
We don't plan on it being something amazingly original or groundbreaking, just something fun.

>>2034107
Anyway, I'm bad at explaining things so if it sounds 'meh' maybe it'll be better when I organize it all and get the others to help me write out the idea fully and post it on the forums.

Work hard giving tripcodes all the fame.

>>2034126

FFFFFFFFF

>>2034126
Except when all is said and done, it won't be tripfellows who get the fame. It'll be the people whose names are on the project.

>>2033884
I see that image all the time, what is it from?

>>2034033
Oh fuck yeah, I loved the Dandelion Girl. I liked it much more than how it was applied in Kotomi's route in Clannad. God speed.

>>2034192
I think an anon is already working on the script n shits

Do you need another artist?

>>2034135
In other words, "tripfellows".

You guys are doing nothing but enlarging the penis of annoying people desperate for a circlejerk and mutual fellatio.

This is an interesting idea. It reminds me of those old magazines that would print a variety of serial stories monthly, and the most popular ones would occasionally get art.

Or, I guess, Shounen Jump, if you want a modern equivalent.

But I'm sure the vast majority of you will fail. /jp/ is lazy, with a short attention span.

For a VN, I think what anon is saying is right. As long as you have a finished draft of a script, at least 10 000 words, then you have a project. It's just a matter of getting artists then who work based on that. It reduces development time and overhyping that gets us nowhere.

And it seems Magical Girl Apocalypse will be finally done. Fuck yes, all we're missing is the old Insomnia project, back from when /jp/ started... oh right, all anonymous projects crash and burn.

Best of luck brave anonymous, deliver for all of our sake.

The number of tripfags working on a 4chan project is directly proportional to how much it sucks.

>>2034409
>at least 10 000 words

wut, I'm not remaking War and Peace here.

And like I said in a previous thread, I'm still working on Project Insomnia, it's just taking a while.

>>2034424
But a short story is around 10 000 words in the fiction market. A short novel is around 50 000 and long 4chan pasta around 2 000.
But it's great to hear that Insomnia is still alive and well in stealth mode. There's hope after all.

Anonymous people working on this should get a tripcode or else you won't be remembered.

Are letting the popular people get all the fame for themselves? Pfffff what a dupe.

>>2034441

But it's already at 2085 words and I'm almost done with the Hitomi route. After that and the sister route, I'm not sure what else to do. Someone wanted a tsundere mother route but I'm not sure if I can flesh that out sufficiently.

it's kind of annoying how jpwiki.co.cc keeps going down. hopefully it becomes more reliable in the future, otherwise it'll be more of a liability than a boon.

>>2034474
Bullshit, but then again you're just a failed troll from new /a/.

>>2034475
We've always said that word count is not correlated to final quality, but that seems pretty low. A 5 000 long VN should be about half hour of gameplay.
Don't worry about padding it, distill it instead so it is the best half hour anonymous has read.

>>2034537
Oi, don't get it wrong.
He's an OLD bad troll, always active since the split.

>>2034424
You talking about that?

>>2034537
ok

>>2034539
new /a/ was birthed on the split, so yeah.

>>2034541
yeah

>>2034537
ehehe~ right, right.

Enjoy being the underdog of the project.

Tripcodes will have their name written in the story of /jp/.

>>2034547
Well, just like every other tripcode of /jp/.

everyone is right, fucking tripfags just want fame. NICE JOB GIVING IT TO THEM. No it's not /jp/ who is going to get all the credit for this, only the TRIPFAGS will

>>2034424
Ten thousand words are about twenty hours' work.
Ten thousand FAIRLY GOOD words run easily to twice or thrice that.
Still, sixty hours of work should be hardly daunting. If they are...

>>2034839
We don't have to rush, though. However, taking too long could also wear down the enthusiasm...

Just forget about the tripfags, broskis, and concentrate on the project. No tripfag will get unjustified glory, the most recognizement a single person will get in the game will be their name in the rolling credits. If you're so worried about not getting the credit you deserve, just make up a name for the forums or something.

And I don't see why it bothers you anyway. We're not doing this for the fame. We're doing it for us.

>>2034541
That's not a good end at all. Not for your daughter.

>>2034541
Halfway through my opinion changed from 'pretty interesting' to 'what the fuck??'.

>>2035086
Anonymous later on changed the plot for the better (well, that depends on how much of a pedophile you are. )

"SHE WILL BE LOVED"

really? i mean, really?

>>2034541
hahaha holy fuck that ending is awesome

>>2035126
No

I found these paper clipping from an old Lunar news paper....

At 2:25 LST, an invasion force bypassed our main aerial defenses and began a beach-head assault on the Tranquil Plains. THE LUNAR HERALD has all the news and a special report detailing these invaders from the Prison Colony.
Showing blatant disregard for civilian casualties and collateral damage, the invaders have pressed the attack with clear intent to conquer and maximize their base of operations for a larger landing party.

DEFENSE GRID FAILURE

They said it would never happen. On paper, the Lunarian Aerial Defense Grid appears impregnable to outside attack, but when the time came to test its ability it let slip a small landing craft, manned by an expeditionary force of Prison Colony militia.
The reason for this has been speculated upon by Lunar scientists and technicians, with an official inquiry carried out amongst the top brass of the Lunar Aerospace Division as to why their orbital sensors failed to identify the invasion forces, and, more importantly, if they had spotted the craft but did not open fire on it.

INVADER INSIDE LOOK

The invading militiamen were sent from a capitalist faction that held sway over the governments ruling Terra, the isolated lower Prison Colony where major criminals and enemies of the Royalty have been exported to for centuries.
When the planet was first colonized, anomalies in the seas and the earth went by unnoticed, and the second generation of Terrans lost much of what made them truly human, throwing the entire colony back to a primeval Dark Age.
Over time, the Terrans have adapted to their planet’s harsh, over-oxygenated surface and spread their colony out to cover the entire globe, even accepting some former Moon sympathizers into their ranks, but it has always been a place of suffering and hardship for all.
Relationships between Terra and Luna have always been fraught with violence, with the First Terran War ending in a decisive victory for the Lunarians after the Terrans were crushed by our superior firepower. It was said that the general of the Terran forces was exceptionally high-ranking and held much sway over the invaders, which made our victory all the more glorious.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5202562

Why don't you guys make awesome shit like this? It doesn't even require an artist or musician.

>>2034424
Brotip: KS is aiming for 500,000 words.

>>2035346

Why should I care what they're doing? I'm not on their team.

>>2035354
You think 10,000 words is long, which is laughable.

>>2035363

Oh right, anon doesn't know hyperbole. My bad.

vn makan gaems

Waifu wants to know if anyone has read Tokio Blues (also known as Norwegian Wood) by Haruki Murakami.

She thinks maybe /jp/ could do a VN based loosely on it, kind of like the Dandelion Girl adaptation some other anons are doing and wants to know if anyone would be interested in doing that.

>>2035481

No one would want to be involved with your waifu.

>>2035481
I've had a slight interest in wanting to read any of Murakami's works, but never got around to it. Sorry brah.

i somehow find curry's posted images and certain remarks/statements entirely retarded, and yet strangely amusing.

>>2035595

I think it's cute that his mom draws pictures for him.

>>2035607
are you jealous that your mom doesn't draw your favorite anime/VN/game characters for you?

>>2035635

Yes. My sister used to draw stuff for me, I still have a drawing of a pokemon she made me years ago hanging on my wall ;_;

>>2035637
Yeah, well do you fuck your sister?

>>2035651

Yes, I do.

>>2035481
Haven't read it myself.

Read After Dark, Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and the Wind up Bind Chronicles by him though.

This will end up like the next anon's day out.

Whatever happened to Anon's Nice Day? I never liked Colombia or his project but I'm curious.

>>2035751
Since he lurks in /jp/, I'd like to hear an answer as well. If it's dead, he should say so already, but the website still hasn't been updated since November.

>>2035751
>>2035755

His blog was updated a few days ago:
http://www.colombianon.blogspot.com/

>>2035722
haha oh wow, she even pointed you out as 'probably the only one on /jp/ who has read it' ;_;

>>2035755
He hasnt posted shit in forever, is he even really lurking still?

We should call Dam Kim to help.

>>2035766

He doesn't use his trip anymore since it tends to attract trolling (as unlike other tripfags, he doesn't like it).

>>2035765
So where in the blog does he mention his relationship with the Meru tripfag?

>>2035766

Does she ever talk about me? I'm never on a girl's mind ;_;

>>2035765

Har, I've been published before. My writing has even won awards.

>>2035766
Haha. Never knew I had that reputation.

Oddly enough, I thought HBW and the End of the World would have been quite cool, if only for the bizarre nature of the End of the World part. It would have to be adapted to include eroge elements though.

>>2035783
Proof where?

>>2035785
Athens-san, hey athens-san, are you going to help with the project too?!

>>2035778
Well, I've been browsing /a/ recently. Lurking and posting anonymously in discussion threads, and it is actually fucking shit.

The tripfags have turned it into a game of 'he said, she said', they have grudges and gossip and so on... It was only in that month long stint of anonymous posting that I realized just how bad it had become.

>>2035781
Who the fuck cares about Meru? And no, he never mentions her as far I can tell.

He's a damn good writer though. Check through some of his copypasta.

>>2035788

I'm not giving out my identity on 4chan.

>>2035783
well she talks about 'anon' sometimes, maybe it's you, you lucky lucky man ಠ3ಠ

>>2035802

That would be nice. It feels nice whenever a girl says something to someone else like "well he said [something]" referring to me because it means that she's thinking of me ಠρಠ

I don't talk to people very often.

>>2035792
I posted on the forum today. Some guy came up with quite a tidy idea of how to incorporate an older sister character into the hobo VN. If that opportunity ever came to pass I'd love to write it.

My friend is already involved in the rearrange album project.

>>2035801
Well, AoC has won some awards for his writings.

Holy fucking shit, all this tripfaggotry has quickly degraded the quality of the /jp/ project endeavor.

>>2035809
Well fuck, you sound desperate and rather pathetic

>>2035809
so moe but so ;_;

>>2035819
I only see two of them, I choose to ignore them

Fine, tripcode for just this post.

Anon's Nice Days is not canceled, but we recently lost the main artist, Anonymous of Mexico, due to personal issues, namely lack of time. Can't blame him, I've managed to stall the project with lack of new story and so forth.
What I'm aiming for now is to get the story done in frequent updates and then get the art once that draft is finished, like we did for the first version. Painless and apparently quicker.
The AND website hasn't been updated since November since I haven't bothered to, seeing that I comment on the story progress on my other site, but I think I should for the sake of correcting the cancellation rumors.

One last thing. The released version of AND had around 4000 words, and you know how ridiculously short that was.

Nice seeing you work on some original content, but I'm more glad I don't get recognized as anonymous. It's far more peaceful this way...

>>2035819
BAWW BAWWWWWWWWW BAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW

For one, I'm actually working on MY OWN idea, so I'm not sure how it's detrimental to anyone else. And secondly, I'm actually helping out with the other ones as well - and I never registered on those forums and don't plan on doing so, so there isnt any useless 'baww currybutt in my thread' faggotry ruining everyones work or getting in the way of it.

So if anything I'm actually being helpful for everyone rather than causing any issues.

>>2035847
Forums are a lot less bitchy than I expected.

>>2035840
Well fuck, you stupid tripfags should learn from him.

>>2035847
But why don't you just post as anonymous?

>>2035840
Go back to work and stop making excuses, you useless piece of shit.

>>2035859

>>2035859

Stop caring about tripcodes. If people post shit, they should just be ignored. Tripcodes shouldn't matter if you treat everyone as if they were anonymous.

I'was flamed by tripfags before, and helped the same tripfags in other ocasions. Not because I'm a good samaritan, it's just that I don't care.

>>2035864

Yeah because EVERYONE here is pathetic, right.
It's funny for a while, but let's just stop the faggotry, alright?

Team work is the key to success...
You have my full support OP.

>>2034022
This.

What makes me saddest about all these projects is I'd like to see them succeed, but by their very nature they're usually attention whoring from lazy shits. GUYS I HAVE A GREAT IDEA PAY ATTENTION TO MY PROJECT WHEN I HAVE NOTHING DONE FOR IT OMGOMGOMG.

Get everything you can possibly get done by yourself done first. Then go begging for help.

>>2036020
Not really. Re-read the thread.

I think "the community" should write a VN about the obviously only things they know anything about: "zOMG ANON IS LEGION" hivemonkeys versus annoying retard tripfags, an epic war story.

>>2036020
Actually it turned more into an anon bawwwwwing about CurryButt thread. Enjoy blaming me for the faggotry anon causes on their own just because of me posting in a thread.

>>2036020
I blame CurryButt for being a forum kiddie that must win an internet fight.

>>2036040
Well, it's you posting with a tripcode that caused all this, don't blame anons, anons are always superior to tripfags.

I like CurryButt, he makes me laugh. The rest of you are too busy with your SUPER SERIOUS projects to take it easy.

>>2036081
sup Currybutt

Sup Currybutt

Stop being a goddamn crybaby already

PROTIP: If tripfags stopped flipping out and defending themselves when people insult tripfags, there wouldn't be as much "bawww tripfags".

Also, good job on making "tripfags suck" into "CURRYBUTT SUCKS OMG I PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION TO HIS EXISTENCE!!!!"
