Why do some devs do that putting the portrait TWICE shit?

>>21584040
It's good for "off camera" characters and sometimes CGs, but I agree it doesn't need to always be there.

>>21584040
When playing the game you spend most of your time looking at the bottom quarter. It is easier to see the expression change when it is put down there.

>>21583534
The problem with "NTR Game" was that you already know what will happen
It's like labeling your game "the protagonist die in this game!"
It's fucking stupid

>>21584040
Yeah no wonder why file sizes keep getting bigger.

>>21584225
Good job keeping your VN studio alive if you try to pull surprise NTR.

>>21584225
This is seriously one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen in these threads. The protagonist dying is a plot twist. NTR is not. Nobody is playing an NTR game to be shocked by its occurrence, they're playing for the fucking NTR. This is like saying that nukiges shouldn't tell players if there's sex so they can be surprised.

>>21583534
What the other anon said is the truth
As a self-insert master I can tell you that self-inserting as the cuck is not the way to go.
The cuck is just a cherry on top including the feeling of superiority you can feel over him.

The cuck is one of those 100 million nice guy moege MCs where you thought: hey look how pathetic this dude is, doesn't he deserved to be cucked? Wish the cliche douche/villain/bad guy just did his thing!
Yes that guy exactly, that bland or donkan moege MC.

Finally finished apeiria.

At first I didn't really like the game, since it seemed so ridiculous, but then I've grown to like it after the first two loops, particularly thanks to thinker, his mind games with the mc were godly. I even had hopes it could become interesting on the sf part. Finnally it turned out just ridiculous, with all those matrix bullshit, how many times did the author considere that the story of his game needed to be shitted on before he ended it?
Maybe it's just that the author wasn't on writing a serious story and I took it too seriously.
Both the revelation about kuon's mother and miu's real identity ruined for me the little fun I had in their routes. My ranking of the route is as such : Kuon > Miu > Mashiro > Apeiria yes even after those final revelations I prefered both Kuon and Miu's route by far since I found the other two so boring.

Anyway you guys now decide wich game I should play among those four:
-Shinsou Noise
-Suisou Ginka no Istoria
-Akeiro Kaikitan
-Butterfly Seeker

https://www.strawpoll.me/18223378

>>21584240
Not him but NTR (and infidelity in general) *should* be a plot twist to have its desired original impact, and hopefully done in a realistic, drama-like way. The fact that we need trigger warnings for it is the reason why it became a meme fetish.

>>21584714
>not self-inserting as the girl being corrupted
Weak mind.

>>21584778
Istoria is the most unique out of these. Get the fixed patch from the archive.

>>21584233
i don't think drawing an asset twice on the screen is gonna cost disk space

>>21585374
Unique isn't necessarily good. But at least it's pretty fast with showing its issues, making it an easy and early drop if necessary.

>>21585568
>But at least it's pretty fast with showing its issues
I could probably count on one hand the エロゲ which aren't fast with showing their issues. And by "fast" I mean immediately obvious just by the writer, title, art and the prologue.

which of the lump of sugar games should I play besides itsuka?

>>21585971
none.

>>21584714
ok but how do you NOT self insert as the MC when he's the perspective and thoughts/actions you're receiving the most?

>>21586030
You already know all of his thoughts and perspectives anyway, as he's an incredibly generic "person". You just filter these thoughts out of your own head. It's sort of an exercise in "fast-forward them in your head once at the beginning of the eroge and never think of them again", if that makes sense to you. Then you focus on understanding what the "netori" (the "cucker", if you will) feels about everything that's happening.

What am I supposed to do here? I can't find the product id anywhere and the crack doesn't include it.
It's probably something really dumb but I can't figure it out.

>>21586417
Friend, I dunno what crack you got, but if you got the right one (the AS one from always_smile), you just run it and the game will run. This screen shouldn't show at all if you're doing it correctly.

>>21586417
You input the code exactly as it appears in the CD case.

>>21586417
>>21586427
Oh, I know what you're doing wrong. You don't install the game, you just copy the data, put in the crack and go.

>>21586430
Thanks anon, I knew it was something really dumb.

Does anyone else find the frequent Japanese usage of onomatopoeia like メロメロ dumb or is it just me?

>>21586718
Onomatopoeia isn't common at all in my language and using it will make you sound like a 5 year old.

But I don't have autism, so I can accept Japanese working differently.

>>21586718
You'll get used to it.

>>21586725
>But I don't have autism
Then how/why did you learn Japanese?

>>21586741
Because I don't have autism it's trivial for me to pretend that I do.

Are you pretending to be retarded? Or do you really not know what ESL means?

>>21586765
What did he mean by this?

>>21585507
These games usually have the sprites separated instead of say using the engine to resize an sprite for whatever purposes.

>>21586765
We do, but you are not supposed to say it.

>>21586819
I know what it means, you spic and/or SEA monkey. Just leave now.

>>21586030
Easy. You just treat VNs like any other medium, focus on the difference between you and the MC as no matter how bland they make them they still have defined interests. Recognizing you both dont share the name and arent japanese is a good first step.

>>21586765
If I remember correctly among non-Asian learners of Japanese Australians are pretty over-represented, so they may be the ones doing the heavy-lifting here.

>>21586970
Explaining things to fools is the one thing I'm bad at.

>>21586946
Every eroge has a nameable protagonist if your brain is sufficiently powerful.

Did さいらぶ crash when changing the configs for anyone else?

>>21586970
Because, like your picture now proves, you're a subhuman from DJT, one that was raised up by the living cancer in /vg/'s /vn/ where you act like /soc/ whores trying to fill your empty lives by retarded memes. It leads some of you to become Discord trannies, and some of you, like you specifically, to haphazardly learning basic Japanese and ultimately here and makes you try to shit up this thread.

For the record, I was 99% sure you're this kind of subhuman from your very first post.

Now you need to throw all that meme baggage away and simply play eroge like a normal person. Try arguing about NTR and self-inserting like the guys are doing now, it can be fun.

Personally I almost never self-insert, instead I prefer to view myself as an observer of someone else's story. Admittedly I tend to avoid those games that are really suited to self-inserting, like xCation games etc.

>>21587015
Please god no more shitty self insert arguments.

>>21587041
Well it's just one possible suggestion.

Could I get some recommendations of some nukige that have some noble girl(s) (preferably royalty) be taken over/losing their position and turned into slaves?
Extra points if it’s with their kingdom taken over and enslaved. Even more bonus points for humiliation.

how can someone be this dumb? almost all of the upload sites they use on AS give the uploader $$$ when their links are used. mega and google are also way more susceptible to DMCA takedowns and since AS is much more well known it attracts them way more than some random SEA site or this thread for example

I used to love Watanabe but I really hated Kanoseka (or maybe it just made me realize that I actually dont like him) so I'll wait for reviews for everything he writes from now on.

Dead Days.
That's about it.

>>21591471
Tasogare no Folklore looks interesting.

>>21591432
>What are you getting?
tsuki no kanata

dead days and tasogare ill wait for reviews, toneworks games are generally long anyway so might not have time for anything else anyway but I cant usually stomach their routes consecutively so one of the 2 might be good for change of pace .

>>21591480
Have you played the Tsukikana trial and got some first impressions actually?

>>21591432
Dead Days seems a bit tamer than euphoria or Maggot Baits just from description somehow, but I am not sure how true is that

>>21591432
Looks like it's another backlog month for me.

>>21591432
Just Tasogare.

>>21591487
>Have you played the Tsukikana trial and got some first impressions actually?
No, but even with the "messaging past self" gimmick I expect it to be the same old toneworks affair.

>>21591432
everything except dead days looks like garbage

>>21591477
The writer is really bad so I don't have any hopes for it.

>>21591521
You have no taste. But yeah, I guess his stuff won't appeal to moege fans much. You gotta like his protags, and that he actually doesn't remove their problems as soon as a cute girl appears.

I'm just waiting for more imouto loli h-scenes desu

>>21591552
Nah his stuff is considered bad among scenario connoisseurs. Also you must be very retarded to think that Dead Days is a moege.

>>21591565
>scenario connoisseurs
What did you mean by this?

I havent read the trial but i hope the shark is actually a talking stuffed toy. I like sharks and loved the Iegami game with Ukano.
Pretty comfy series.
Yeah also Onigyu.

what are some of the creepiest VNs you've read?
looking around for horror recommendations all round so it doesn't have to be just VNs, been looking around for Phenomeno but it seems like it's only in physical format

>>21591769
Tsukikage no Simulacre has some pretty creepy moments.

>>21591432
Maybe Dead Days, if the story is at least passable.

I really hope the 2020s are a better decade for vns than this one was. If things keep going the way they are then this industry will die

>>21591876
>. If things keep going the way they are then this industry will die
Good.

>>21591769
Kusarihime, I guess? At very least it did a pretty good job at creating a "what the hell is going on" atmosphere through the visual elements.

>>21591894
Since touhou is dying, eroge is like the last bastion of the actually decent otaku culture. After it's gone we'll be left with shitty soshage and garbage anime adaptations of generic isekai.

>>21591769
https://vndb.org/v2567

>>21592106
What about light novels?
They still seem to do pretty good, some vn writers even started to write ln lately (cf the author of classroom of the elite).

>>21591769

>>21592578
He just doesn't like the current trends.

>>21591876
Only moeshit and charages.
Nukiges and short VNs will reign supreme, thats why the recent trend of single heroine tittles is starting to catch on popularity.

>>21592832
>charage
They are dead already. You could easily count the amount released last year with one hand. Unless you consider typical modern moege charage as well, but I don't. They don't give a shit about character stories after all. That'd be effort, and why put effort into something if nobody cares about it, right?

>>21592872
Why put effort into relationship and character stories when the customers either restrict what you can do with the characters or will tank your company if you deviate from the norms?
Companies like UStrack died just for attempting to design an heroine with a personality and actual goals in life rather than being the MCs onahole 24/7.

>>21592952
How is "being the MCs onahole 24/7" doesn't count as "a personality and actual goals in life"? Quite a bit of hypocrisy we have here.

>>21592952
>Companies like UStrack died just for attempting to design an heroine with a personality and actual goals in life
That was not the reason and you know it. Don't be dishonest.

>>21593465
Only fair if the heroine has known the MC all his life.

>>21593648
Someone's goals dont always have to include the protagonist. Moreso if the game has a positive message to transmit.

>>21593933
Why do you care about the game "transmitting the message", pushing the agenda or other retarded shit like that? It has nothing to do with what eroge are all about.

>>21593933
>Only fair if the heroine has known the MC all his life.
So does my sister secretely want to be my onahole 24/7? Or am I not even the MC of my own eroge?

>>21594117
Sounds to me like you're only the protagonist of your own ge.

>>21593933
Again, it didn't have to do with her having life goals. In fact heroines having life goals make them interesting and fun. People had a problem with the way she handled the situation. I personally didn't care much because I didn't like her much from the start but for people who fell in love with her it must be kinda shitty.

>>21592686
Sakura no Mori Dreamers is good too but I'm guessing you've already read it.

>>21594535
I'm the first poster, haven't actually
Didn't people shit on it? At least I remember some having done so

>>21594551
Not the anon you're replying to, but It was a fun read. The story gets a bit silly at times but never stagnated, even through the long common route. It was a bit of a thriller, I guess. Pulled off the horror atmosphere well and the girls were cute.

Wasn't super crazy about the routes, but they aren't long.

>>21594715
Sakura no Mori Dreamers is pretty good indeed, I didn't even bother with any of the routes and just went straight to 2. I wonder if 3 will ever get made?

It'd be cool if the author would write more horror/thriller stuff, I didn't really care for this game >>21592686, the prologue was alright though.

>>21593974
>It has nothing to do with what eroge are all about.
No wonder they are dying, churning out the same lame wish fullfillment garbage.

>>21594117
You are likely in an NTR story.

>>21594350
>In fact heroines having life goals make them interesting and fun.
Those are rare.

>People had a problem with the way she handled the situation.
Thats okay, not all characters handle situations in the same way. The fact that such an unique character received such backlash shows how going out of the norm hurt things.

>for people who fell in love with her it must be kinda shitty.
You can love a character despite his/her flaws, again not every heroine has to adjust her goals to include the protagonist. By that logic Sakura from Taimanin wouldnt have fans despite she receiving the short end of the stick in any game she appears in.

>>21594852
Kureha is a must read imo, the others can be skipped before going on to 2.

>>21595034
There has to be more than that though. Dolphin Divers has a route, where the main drama is about a heroine wanting to do the same thing as the protag after school, so they can be together, but the protag not accepting that. Eventually she does what she wants and is good as, just like the protag, but they can only meet rarely afterwards as both work on the ocean and rarely are at the same place in the world at the same time.

Didn't kill the company or anything. You could argue that the game had less people playing it, or that it's a little older or whatever, but I dunno. The US:Track game also still has a fairly good rating on EGS, which wouldn't be if everyone would be angry about it.
I'm sure some people are angry, and angry people are the loudest of them all, but I'm not sure how much that affected this particular case.

>>21594852
You didn't like miss crazy? I felt like it got a little sluggish after some time as well, but the last route made it all worth. The implications are absolutely great. Still want a sequel of sorts.

Also I agree with
>>21595175

Kureha's route is absolutely great. (minus the moege stuff in it) It's still the best way to end Mori Dreamers in general. The sequel was kinda unimpressive in comparison. (the main villain in particular pails so hard in comparison with dreamers 1) Also again, the implications are so great in that route. Kure seems to like to do that. It was also a thing in Nostalgia already.


Gotta read his two old works of the not-moege style at some point. Part of my backlog for really bad times, when I really need something interesting.

>>21594551
Quite the coincidence just started sakura no mori dreamers the other day, it's pretty good so far.
So far it has been consistently interesting.

>>21595614
That sounds wholesome and cute. I enjoy when the MC treats a heroine nicely especially if it's one I like.

There are a million nukige with that theme out there. This isn't one of them. That's why.

>>21597845
Japan has the bad habit of having the hottest character either with no route or barely any content.
For them is moe>hot so the moeblobs get the most attention.

>>21598074
Why? It's not that kind of game. The idea that everything female needs to have adult content outside of nukige is retarded.

>>21598325
Its an eroge so if it has sex content is okay to call out femalew in an eroge not having sex scenes.

In animes you always see galge with a map and specific places to go at specific time to get an event or in which you can customize your character's stats like in some kind of rpg to go on a certain route but I've never seen games that are actually like this, it's quite a deception

>>21599036
Play more dating sims. They're a little rarer nowadays but they were hardly uncommon in the past.

>>21599036

https://vndb.org/g39

The most popular commercial galge like Tokimeki Memorial and Amagami, etc. (and actually a big portion of eroge) back around in the first half of the 00s were dating sims so that's the mainstream impression that most people have about eroge and it's what's portrayed in anime. But it's outdated as dating sims are very rare nowadays as the previous poster said.

Every single eroge is wish fulfillment though. You might mistakenly think that some of them are not, but that isn't correct.

>>21595614
In US:track's case it affected it because that loud group sent threats and insults to the writer and it affected him enough that he took a full year hiatus. The brand's producer also retired around the same time, so it became a fairly well known case.

>>21599720
All of fiction is wish fulfillment in one form or another. "Wish fulfillment" is just some gay phrase used by people that want to sound smart, but in reality are butthurt by the wishes other people want fulfilled.

>>21599779
Everyone who is "out in the public" has to deal with this to an extend though. Doing this is also a crime, so they can actually go to the police for that stuff. It's like if idols would quit because not every single person loves them while not getting to creepy territory. Some may do so eventually. But you generally need to be made for this shit, that's for sure. There are always going to be people who hate you and show that in extremely inappropriate ways.

I mean sure, we are talking about porn games here, so you could think "it's not worth it". But I dunno about that. That's making it a little too easy. It's a very fundamental thing.


Now, if sales are actually terrible, as well as overall ratings... that's a different story. Those are important and can't be ignored as a business. But a vocal minority? I feel like something else had to be amiss there. That's always how it goes. Stack a few issues and it all gets too much to deal with. People obviously love their drama, so most don't care about the entire truth.

thank you anon

How exactly does the 属性から検索 search work on ErogameScape? Sometimes it throws up VNs which have nothing to do with what you searched, e.g. if you search ゲテモノ(獣姦、触手等) then Clannad of all fucking things turns up in the results. I doubt I have to say this, but Clannad isn't tagged with that at all.

Also, when you search by more than one property, instead of listing only VNs which are tagged with every single property you've selected, it throws in some VNs which have only a single one of the properties you selected.

Is it just broken or am I doing something wrong?

>>21601425
It works, but some of the tags are just trolls. Clannad does have that tag, if you click to show all. It should really have an option to ignore tags that only one or two people voted on for good measure, but it doesn't.

By the way, is there any way to search multiple tags at the same time like you can with POVs? As far as I can tell, the 属性から検索 page doesn't let you search with tags at all.
I also can't seem to find any explanation page regarding the POVs themselves (seems to be no mention of them under any of the 基本情報 pages). What do A B and C refer to?

>>21600264
Get 2dkf and pan baidu accounts

Oh boy, this girl is pretty edgy.
Also the weak should fear the strong.

>>21583723
>What are you playing?
Just finished LovexHolic side routes.
Mai route was hot but the end kind of left me with a sour feeling since the MC and Mai are cheating on poor Kuon, even worse when you have that scene in Kuon's Yuki Onna route where she allows the MC to fuck her mother. Poor ancient vampire ancestor getting cucked by his wife and his daughter being complicit of it.
Avril route was also kind of bitter with MC basically rendered helpless as Avril uses his magic to brain wash (No matter how much she dances around it) the entire world as he is stuck with her for all eternity as he doesnt really loves her but tries to "make up" for it by degrading Avril (Though she loves it).
Kinda a let down that they didnt use Seira's OPness to add some action but i guessMCs magic is that strong.
Kikyou was much better as despite MC trying to have some kind of power play he and Kikyou do really love each other, the only downside i can think was that it reveals she suffers constantly in the other routes and MC rejecting the 3 main girls. But the ending was nice and wholesome, we definitely need more heroine with a baby on her bossom endings.
Harem was nothing special, i miss their first games harem routes with decent lenght and many 3some scenes.
Overall i liked it but its probably one of the most "fucked up" B&B games.
Oh yeah also the ghouls not getting their own route sucks too.

>What are you looking forward to?
Iegami game starring Inaba. Loved the Iegami with Ukano. Hope the heroine is as good as Ukano and that she is able to shapeshift like Ukano did.

the AS dl for tsuki no kanata is missing part3, does it work?

>>21606984
New to downloading games? Well when that happens the uploader always post the link except one part so you can download the other parts while you wait for the uploader to post the missing link.
Which is stupid since i bet most people would rather wait for full links but you never know how many useful idiots there are.

>>21607011
He's getting a Tone Work's game. Of course he's new.

>>21607011
>New to downloading games?
I usually just torrent unless its an older game.

>>21607035
Pretty sure there are other games being held like that.

>>21607050
I see well im pretty sure there are usually torrents up before the last link is posted.

>>21607159
>Pretty sure there are other games being held like that.
dead days is one.

>>21607159
>>21607212
Every new game uploaded by Velka that hasn't already been uploaded by another group is like that, they always hold back one of the parts.

>>21607212
All the games i am waiting (Lune, Casket, Miel) are being held back. Likely those are also being held back like that.

dead days when

>>21608102
whenever our Chinese overlords feel like it.

>>21608102
its up my dude

>>21608378
Was it cracked?

>>21608540
haven't finished downloading it, but I don't even think clockup puts DRM on their games

>>21608378
Great, I needed an eroge version of gantz.

>>21608554
Most of their games needed crack dude.

>now I have to wait for someone to upload dead says to mega/google drive
I sleep.

>>21608685
their physical copies haven't needed cracks in years, they stopped that ages ago.

>>21608785
They always required a serial.

So, is Dead Days tamer than euphoria or Maggot Baits or just as gorn?

>>21609082
I'm guessing tamer, on yorou's vein.

>>21609082
Website said something along the lines of certain scenes being fucked up to demonstrate how fucked up the world is, or some shit.

Hello, guys!
I was interested, Net-Ride is possible to hack?
I mean, it's quite difficult? Because all passwords are limited up to 3 times, but you can save generated download link which sync with downloadfile.zip...

Otherwise it's very wise decision for eroge makers milk their customers to buy all cards from tokuten -_-

I just wanna buy that game...
Because DLC wasn't leaked.

>>21592952
I remember reading Koikake blog on Tumblr, where director said that he left the company, because he has bad relations with development team... Maybe, that's why we got that Koikake (but I don't think we deserve that version)...

>>21597845
>every sprite has to have a sex scene

>>21609082
Euphoria is tame as fuck, there's barely any guro and none of it is during the sex scenes. The game is mostly just scat and rape. It's nothing compared to Maggot Baits, where at least a third of the game is guro and it's all in the sex scenes.

Anyway, the CG set's out and it looks pretty tame. There's one eye-fuck scene and one strangulation scene, but that's basically it. The most there seems to be beyond that is a scene or two where the characters have some blood on them. Looks just a tiny bit more gorey than Euphoria.

Honestly, I can't say I have high expectations; I've never been a big fan of Kurashiki Tatsuya, and I really don't like how all the women Norizane draws look like men.

>>21599187
Actually why are dating sims rare nowadays? Is there any reason?

>>21609254
They still exist, just with gacha on top. And by exist I mean, most gacha are also dating sims to a certain extend.

>>21609289
I guess the old kind like Tokimeki and Amagami are just dead huh

Crack's out on 2dkf so it should be out on AS soon if not already there.

Does Tsukikana need a crack by the way?

>>21609105
It is possible but you need a JP VPN to download anything from there. Go to a download of some free update (without password), and replace the values in free dl link (starts with trial) with those in the password form html of the thing you want, they are in the page source.

>>21609093
Never mind what I said, I just looked at the cg set and there's only one eye fucking scene and what i assume is a bit of blood which can be turned off.

>>21609231
you should've spoilered the cg set talk...

>>21609447
That is an interesting font

>>21609451
I changed it because I'm retarded and it's easier for me to read.

>>21609457
>>21609447
So, is the plot of Tsukikana definitely "MC sends a message to the past to bang somebody"?

>>21609476
pretty much

>>21609197
Basically. Why make a porn game and then design a character with no content? Its a waste of resources where an spriteless man works as fine otherwise.

>>21609615
You remind me of how if I see a heroine has a certain sprite, I expect the outfit in that sprite to be used in an H-scene

>>21609254
Too much work i guess. Why work on an stat system, relationship tracking, randomnly generated dates, locations to date which events vary based on relationship progression and season, lots of minigames, inventory/money system when you just need to slap few choices, set up simple flags and then call it a day?

>>21609293
Love Plus was the last we got. Cation series didnt go as deep as i wanted so to me they barely count.
If you havent played it i recommend Mistumete Knight. Its basically medieval tokimemo but with an actual story and setting (Though i onder to see any of it you have to dig a lot).
Dont confuse it with Mitsumete Knight R which is an RPG set in an alternate universe.

>>21609615
I mean, I agree, but I wouldn't call Kiss Ato an "porn game," since there is a lot of non-H content and they even released an all ages version. Generally though, if a nukige had a female character appear that didn't have any sex scenes, I'd be pissed.

>>21597845
fandisc bait

Dead Days needs a crack folk. We lost.

>>21609801
Serials are on A-S

>>21609810
Prove it to me.

>>21609382


I understand something wrong?

The link is http://trial.net-ride.com/software/LINK/downloadfile.zip

where LINK is 10 random symbols, as I can see.
But I can't find value in page source?

I think everything is not so easy

>>21609382
Ah, thanks. I understood. Value is 3 digit code, method "post". Thanks.

Tsukikana doesnt seem to work even with AlphaROMDie in that the process stops after a few seconds after I tried opening it with that. What else do I need to do?

So far I've seen Pokemon, LINE, and now Facebook? They can just do this now? Are the days of WcDonalds gone?

>>21609865
BRO GIVE OUT THE FUCKING CRACK

>>21609865
They've always been able to do it. WcDonalds was more of a gag than any actual legal issues.

>>21609860
You need no region loader, then boot while the disk is in to pass the first check.
Then you're done.

>>21609860
mine worked.

Pic of my alpharom.

>>21609897
How do you save settings of AlphaROM anyway? I seem to be a brainlet here

>>21609875
There's serial codes on AS already. I even went ahead and deleted the crack and used the code instead.
>>21609876
I feel like you can't just throw around trademarks like that but I'm not exactly an expert so I'll take your word for it.

>>21609915
open alpha rom, tick the siglus thing and just drag the siglus.exe on it, open the game with the new siglus shortcut that appears in the game folder.

>>21609940
Strangely doesnt work for me. I am thinking of reinstalling it with girlcelly's version instead of velka's version at least. Or wait for a version that does it already for me

Oh well, no hurry

>>21609814

>>21609865
The text in clockup games always becomes a garbled mess for me.
Anyone know how to fix this?

>>21609865
It also mentions youtubers and WSJ by name. It's nice we don't get stupid names for once.

>>21610112
stop using tools EOP

>>21610226
Not using any tools, but the text suddenly started being readable for some reason.

Yeah strange, Tsukikana doesnt work for me even after I dragged SiglusEngine to the AlphaROM with the siglus option ticket, it didnt create a new shortcut.

Maybe I should do more research on this

>>21610331
Try the second option instead.

>>21610339
The thing is that the VN would start up but eventually die after a few seconds. And I have no idea whats causing this and it doesnt seem like people online have encountered this issue

>>21610331
I've had the same issue with AlphaROM.
Have you tried using Noregion Loader? That one worked for me.

>>21610386
Yeah it worked this time, thanks anon

>>21610416
You're welcome!

Do the serials for DEAD DAYS becomes unusable after some time or not? Because I won't be able to to download and play it till next week.

>>21610654
No? The game would require some kinda online activation to enforce such a thing.

For now this game is a quite a surprise, I was about to drop it after the prologue since I found it too boring but the end of the "1" (don't know how to call it yet) made me change my mind. And I think I have an idea on what the mc's power might be.

Skullfucking the yandere was a bit too much for me dead days.

So lewd.

Tsumamigui 3 is kamige. Amazing thicc milfs. Only flaw I've seen is so far is the third-person narration

>>21609197
Yes

>>21609645
Yeah its such a tease, even worse is if you find naked sprites of a routeless girl in the sprite viewer or a CG gallery.

>>21609657
Many VNs gets all ages versions. Most of these games are "pick the girl you like and romance/fuck her" so if the girl you like doesnt has a route/sex scenes is fair to get pissed about it unlike an story centric VN where there is actually a plot that you should be prioritizing over lewds.

>>21611383
Whatever they paid the CV in that scene, it wasn't enough.

>>21612312
Real main heroine privileges.

*sweating profusely*

>>21614084
i thought donkan protags only existed in eroge. how do you even get to that point without already knowing who or what order you'll probably choose?

>>21614084
of course you're a true patrician and you chose Akane, right ?

>>21609858
I hope you can share the dlc :^)

>>21614174
I would love to be Akane's personal heat source throughout winter.

any of smee's games worth playing?

>>21616073
Making lovers

>>21616073
no

>>21616073
All of their games, at least from Loverable onwards, are pretty similar moege. If you like one of them, you'll probably enjoy the others as well. Preference between them probably relies on who your favorite heroines are. Pure x Connect and Making Lovers are ok if you want a non-highschool setting.

Is the new Toneworks game actually noticeably shorter? Anyone ctrld through the game for kb numbers yet?

A discussion on slow vs fast zombies with proper title drops.
Never thought I'd see this in eroge.

>>21616507
they spent the background cg budget on clearing the names

>>21616519
Absolutely worth it.

>>21616507
This game's confusing me on what you can and can't write in these things. Youtube, instagram, twitter, facebook are all fine to reference but the KFC sign in that one background had to be changed to KEC, but then the JR Ikebukuro station sign was fine? I don't even know anymore.

>>21616578
I think KFC is the sole thing censored in the whole game
>fuck, we look suspicious stalking this guy!
>pick your phone and pretend we're playing pokemon!

>that legal loli idol death
I'm enjoying the ride so far, also got the bad end with eye-patch-chan.

>>21616617
Don't you just love lolis, in junior idol agencies, who film self admitted pedo videos, but are still legal?

>>21616630
Isn't that stuff illegal to produce now?

>>21616617
Kirurin is a really wise woman with an extremely refined taste in eroge.

>>21616617
That loli is really hot.

I really hope that Dead Days isn't that short since the demo length is like one and half hour long.

>>21617072
The trial is 6-7% of the game, as far as I could check.
If you read every single sex scene without crtling through them it's probably over 15 hours.

>>21615927
I see you are a patrician as well. Who wouldn't want to cuddle with this perfect cutie ?

>>21617088
Pretty nice. This is one of the few ambitious title from this year, coming from Clockup of all people. I hope it sells though, but knowing the nips erogamers, this is a mere a wishful thinking.

>>21617435
Playing the FD right now and I really hope she has an anal scene, I liked the love hotel one from the original game.

>>21617579
It's not mindblowing or anything, but it's a good game, and honestly an improvement pacing/plot wise from yourou, which funnily takes place in the same realistic setting.
The romance between Teru and Mao was also really sweet and led to some pretty nice character development for Teru.
I hope they keep making this kind of games.

Any Westaboo pandering VN's out there that aren't Policenauts or Grisaia?

>>21591432
Art can be wasted in the wind.
Different writer could help that vn group.
I wouldn't even rate it.

>>21592578
How many years one studies to read themselves, without relying random's translation speed?

>>21591432
Am I the only one who thinks Zen should just quit the hobby or just replay his favorite eroge ad infinitum? He seems to not enjoy VN's anymore.

>>21618067
No i hope he keeps at it.
I think he is one of the few people that still understand the potential of VNs while everyone else already resignated to eroges being nothing more than wish fulfillment garbage it has turned into.
Plus Michi is a boring moefag so i prefer Zen's imput.

>>21617985
Are you retarded or just trolling?

>>21618067
I stopped reading him years ago. He already should have quit back then, it's probably just exasperated now.

>>21618104
>Weird ero version of Bleach.
Yes, great input.

>>21618152
That also irked me, isn't it more like gantz with more ero?
No one in Bleach was actually dead.

>>21618152
Yeah, I had to do a double take on that one. Just goes to show he's just another retard masquerading as an elitist.

How long is dead days?

Knights like it both ways.

>>21618765
Are those blue spheres floating hair accessories or are they supposed to be sweat?

>>21616507
Yeah you should play the kamige LAMUNATION

How sociopathic is Dead Days MC? Does he ever get a modicum of humanity or is he a Japanese Ted Bundy?

Kirurin's staff comment has me in tears. Amazing performance, honestly.
Also did I speedread too hard or was Kirurin's reason for being so crazy about MC not explained?

Does someone have I.D.～調教アーカイブス～? It apparently got uploaded in the past but all links are dead

>>21617985
First learn English, SEA monkey.

>>21619115
>he doesn't have blue spheres floating around him

I assume a number of you people know about elf's Kakyuusei 2 controversy right? Something has been bugging me about it but it's not about why it was controversial. Instead, do any of you anons know and can explain just how massive was the JP-side backdraft over it? Just how huge was the impact of its controversy for the genre? While i do understand the reason for it, I am curious as to the scale of the JP reaction and it's impact on the VN genre, its a bit hard for me to visualize or imagine the scale here

>>21619858
Google it, EOP.

>>21618765
In the butt?

>>21619876
I already did and that's why I understood why exactly it was controversial. What I didn't find was how extreme/negative was the reaction in JP, what have JP people been reported on doing, and just how far reaching was it's impact on the VN industry. It's not that I don't understand the why, it's that I am having trouble visualizing the scale and picture here and just how big was the fire

>>21619926
Why ask here, an English anonymous site, for that? Go ask on futaba channel or something.

>>21619926
>>21619943

Alternatively google old 2ch threads. Even ones from back then can be around.

>>21619229
>sociopathic
Is that your word for people who are sexually successful?

>>21619469
She explains it a bit, basically boils down to him being her type really hard, having two faces with a sadist streak and being handsome.
Shallow as it gets, but she's crazy as shit.

>>21619943
I can feel the salt here

>>21620103

>>21620084
I got that part but I thought maybe I missed something since the things she did were uh, quite extreme, to say the least, but I guess I didn't.

>>21620130
Nope, but then again she's been doing killings for a couple of years already and that would drive anyone to the edge, especially since she was crazy as fuck before.

>>21619876
>>21619943
Are you the same dude who said you were 50 in a /vr/ thread? Genuinely curious

>>21620185
No. What /vr/ thread?

>>21620187
I just assume everyone on 4chan who spams "EOP" and brags about living in Japan is you, which is probably correct most of the time tb.h

>>21620197
>tb.h
We don't use periods like that in English, subhuman SEA EOP.

>>21620197
You seem to have some sort of paranoia... seeing some specter all around you.

I dunno about /vr/, but here on /jp/ EOP is a common term and has been for years.

>>21620223
gee maybe he's doing that to avoid the word filter or something

>>21620223
Is this your first day on 4channel?

>>21620106
Virgin scenes are usually unfappable with all the crying and blood so I'm ok with heroines being used goods from time to time.

>>21620243

>>21620230
Oh, so he's a retard then.

>>21620258
take your meds dude

>>21620255
do people actually exist with the mindset that non virgin = cuck? like, have you ever met a real person?

>>21620258
Are you fucking dumb? Spam/post filters are not the same as word filters.

>>21620274
Yes, yes you're a fucking cuck.

>>21620280
you're legit mental.

>>21620283
t. betacuck

>>21620286
the fact the moron who obsesses over whether fictional characters are fictional virgins or not is calling me a "betacuck" is fucking hilarious

>>21620238
No, what about you?

>>21620293
Then how come you don't know about hiroshimoot's word filters?

>>21620292
>ok with heroines being used goods
>y-you're the betacuck
The irony.

>>21620298
>hiroshimoot
Whom?

>>21620306
>>y-you're the betacuck
Literally who said this? People don't stutter in text form unless you're writing fiction or quoting someone.

>>21620306
Think about it this way, you're offloading the burden of taking the girl's virginity (and dealing with all the retarded headaches that come with it) onto some poor cuck who won't even get to properly enjoy her, as she has zero experience at that point.

>>21620331
I like to be the one to bleed her first.

>>21620283
he's obviously from /vg/

This cuck debate again?

Actually surprised at her kamige taste.

It's so annoying when a new character is introduced and their name has no furigana and nobody in the subsequent lines of dialogue ever says their name so can only guess at how it's supposed to be read until someone finally says it like an hour later.

>>21621406
just check vndb......

Is there anyway to get all these cool eroge makers with demo lets plays and eroge seiyuu as guests private live niconico streams besides having a premium nico account?

I mean we already hacking their games, a live stream won't hurt right?

Does Rein just not have a swimsuit sprite or is my game just bugged?

>>21621406
You could use jisho.org 's radical based search.

>>21621406
I love that feeling. Makes me happy if I guessed correctly and makes me smarter if I didn't.

>>21622054
I checked, she doesnt seem to have one. Strange when she has a swimsuit scene

Did I just get teleported into DJT?

What's the point of adding a 12 years old heroine if she's only fuckable after she grows up?

Finished Dead Days.

It's not the Clock Up Title we expected. It has a lot of weird elements that in retrospect make absolutely no sense and even crosses somewhat Shounen-Fightscenes and dialogue with cyberpunk about Revive-Bodies and other bullshit.

The story feels strange, especially as it turns itself around like a spiral staircase all the time and suddenly you end up with weird states like people who are supposed to be dead and are alive because ...magic, multiple personalities of which each can have an own ethereal and corporeal body...etc, The game kind of stumbles over its own rules.

The basic premise of the game is that people get a new chance after they have died but their life is attached to some kind of battery which they can only charge up by killing spirits that possess people which essentially turn into 都市伝説 like a man who masturbates everywhere or a woman in a wheelchair that shoots people with a machinegun. Yeah its weird.
Additionally the characters have an increased unsatiable sex drive after one of these "missions" and either fuck each other or random passerbys in case of Aira and Julia.

Then theres the fappable part. Fans of Clock Ups more fucked up stuff will definitely enjoy the few bad ends the game offers us and the first murder, everything else is surprisingly lacking the gore and blood. Even if the gore option is activated the game kind of lacks brutality.
The H-Scenes range from vanilla over more vanilla to consensual group sex, rape, voluntary "rape" and a bit fetish stuff here and there with watersports. Kind of tame for Clock Up that published established games like Euphoria, Nemurenu or Natsu no Kusari.

Else the character interactions range from nonsensical to really genuine. All relationships surround Teru, it's basically a harem game in that regard. But Teru is an unlikeable prick for the most part who bullies his osananajimi and treats pretty much everyone like shit, By murdering more people he gets more "ruthless" and Eita, the one who led to his death at the beginning becomes more attached to him, because he has the aura and eyes of a yakuza. Complete nonsense imo because Teru still behaves like a hetare.

The relationship between Aira and Teru was really genuine though. They banter and fool around a lot and their sex is actually enjoyable.

Manami who is the stereotypical milf is super helpless and Teru abuses her quarrel with her husband to fuck her several times. Another fun thing is that the characters are cheating all the time in the game but they are not really conscious of it.

Later we get more characters like Julia and Nobody66, who are just annoying and should die. Julia provides good material for loli content. Shes a total bitch, a pig that has been raised up as a junior model and enjoys fucking people.
Nobody66 is like talking to the automatic customer service of Verizon or some shit. Really boring and stale.

The game itself is actually rather hard to read, not just for Eops or JSLs because the characters all speak in their specific slang. Aira uses Gal-speak, Teru and Eita speak like Yakuza as well as Tengan Soukichi. Gipsy-Q speaks like a priest or some shit, quoting academic lines and mythologies to explain story elements to Teru and Nobody66 as mentioned earlier talks like a robot.

Later in the game it kind of turns into a whodunnit where you are second guessing your peers who is a traitor and why and then the game goes totally haywire.

At this point you have reached the true route, Mao route already. The only route that feels complete.

Then we have the girl that probably intrigues people the most. Kiruru the crazy yandere. She has one of the sickest endings in the game, but its not really disturbing imo. Maybe I'm too desensitized. But yeah she wants Terus best throughout the whole game and milks him dry a few times. But she has also multiple personalities and switches them on the fly, it's scary.

The voiceacting and art is top notch except something I noticed. The shading on the throats of every character looks strange. I only noticed it way into the game but the shading looks definitely off.

All in all Dead Days is a rather boring addition to the clockup lineup and disappointing. The characters are mostly unlikeable, their motivations are completely nonsensical and even the sex isn't that great. I'd skip on the game if I were you.

You know spoiler tags exist, right?

Messed up on phone. I don't post frequently.
thought the spoiler box puts a spoiler on everything.

I agree about the voiceacting. I liked being able to hear the guys moan and stuff during the H scenes.

I just love how so many of these characters have such fucked backstories no one talks about in their actual games.

I wonder how do you manage to make a cute girl like this hate you to the point she creates a world to repeatedly kill you in.

This was a nice read.

>>21624926
There really is no god.

Her route was the only part of the game where it felt like the writer gave a fuck and put any kind of effort. The rest varied from bland to terrible.
