>>21785653
so just stick with watching cop craft for a similar setting?

Finished playing Eustia. I usually avoid eroge having '主人公ダメ’　tag with good number of votes on egs, but I don't remember exactly why(probably mistaken with something else) I picked this up. Anyways, the art and production were great, and the music was ok, not the best but good. Overall I didn't like the VN. I liked the prologue and first(Fione) but the hetare and urusai(esp pushing his thick head views in 2nd and 3rd) behavior of the protag from 2nd scenario was a bit painful. More of a personal preference. About the last scenario, though some reasons were given, I didn't find the it really fitting. Seemed more that the writer wanted to go through with an ending. Especially stuff like submitting to Lucius without taking much info, and even after the return to rougoku and the sex taking so long, as Tia says. I really depressed thinking Tia's gonna be crucified for 500 yrs and kept waiting for an escapade. How he put his ear to his brother in front of the suffering Tia at the end and allowed him to through a knife was really enraging In the end I ended up disliking the protag to almost the level of Takayuki contrasting with a cool start [

Also, there quite a bit loose points throughout the vn. Though I can ignore that, and the scope and setting is great. Kind of reminds me of G-Senjou, I didn't like that much too. That had Maou and Guzou, and I didn't find any character as much likeable in Eustia. Another thing that really bothered me is the day being JUST in time, it happened so many times, including near the end

In the end I feel it would be good for people who like the plot, excitement,pacing and setting, and don't mind some things loose and protagonist failing around. Don't think its near a kamige though, and personally didn't like it that much

>>21785931
*day being saved

>>21785936
Also would've been better if the protag and Tia died together in the end instead of the spreading stuff. At least there could be an another Tia route with Caim escaping with her, maybe during when they were last at rougoku and perhaps conspiring with Jeek

>>21786066
agreed wish more moege for example started out with MC and the heroine already being hooked up and then described their icha icha lifestyle and adventures together, for example a typical crazy vacation plot or something.

>ゲームからとった単語は、使用範囲を確認したほうがいいよ。
Oh I realize that, but I frankly don't care that much about actually talking to Japanese people. When I want to talk to people, I'll do it in my native German, or sometimes in English.

I like Japanese vidya and anime, and I'm sort of interested in Japanese history (mainly in the time from the start of the 明治 era to the end of WW2), so my vocabulary is shaped by otaku shit and historical documents. Who cares.

To me, Japanese is mainly what I immerse myself in when I want to get my mind off of work, relationship troubles, western politics and everything else I might worry about.
English actually used to fulfill the role of an escapism language just fine for me, but then I made the mistake of looking up on Wikipedia who runs all the big media corporations in the US.
Hollywood movies and American TV shows just aren't enjoyable anymore when you keep noticing all the Jewish anti-White (and generally anti-Gentile) tropes everywhere.

>>21785653
So RWA is confirmed disappointment I guess

>>21786655
As anyone could have seen coming considering his track record.

>>21786660
Yeah I guess I was half hoping he got better since Akatsuki no Goei (only series I read from him), guess not.

I just learned that Uguisu Kagura released new patches for Istoria and Kamimaho few months ago.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RKIL4aPY1IMPETL_hQnRgTKn0UhRmrS_/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f5A-hIyPPHut7DT-E57UIk8KBbHWglA9/view

I unpacked the Istoria patch and they didn't repeat the mistake of their original patch.

>>21787891
Oh, they fixed even this.

>>21787891
how the hell did you find the patch for istoria? it isn't mentioned on nawa, it only has a tiny mention on the main page, and it's hidden under the trial section for some stupid reason so i almost thought it they forgot to put it up or link to it. i like to think i'm pretty good at finding stuff but even i might have missed this

>>21787998
I saw the news post and looked really well in SPECIAL. But yeah, I initially didn't see it either.

brehs...

Why is RWA bad?

>>21789924
Hahahaha, holy shit.

>>21785931
Sounds pretty good to me. I don't mind a thickheaded protagonist.

Did you find a crack or just use a generic alpha-rom one?
I can find a crack for the original and "[NoDVD Patch][110428] 穢翼のユースティア for 110428 Update.rar" but not the newest "[NoDVD EXE] [110428] [AUGUST] 穢翼のユースティア 110503 update.rar "
Maybe it's unnecessary though.

Was forced to downgrade to Windows 10 recently. Now Capture to Text won't work.
Does anyone have a text hooker/translation machine that works with Simplified Chinese?

So far 劉旗の大望 has actually been acting like a remake, the main story is completely different. Events are still copies but even this is more than what the other two did.

>>21790690
>サポートファイル
>support_ay.zip
So you installed the サポートファイル after applying the 修正パッチ (weird how there are none on that page) and were able to play the game without a disc mounted/inserted? Unless I'm misunderstanding and the サポートファイル supersedes the 修正パッチ somehow despite lacking even a readme. Looks like just an engine update though.
Interesting, based on the error messages it looks like it may be an official nodvd but they don't explicitly acknowledge it as such and still have other FAQs about the DVD being needed (maybe they just never removed these). At least according to "仮想DVDディスクドライブソフトをご使用されていませんか" they don't attempt to stop virtual disk software (nor support it) so I guess worst case scenario I can just play with the disk mounted.

>If it doesn't work, I'll tell you hex edits for the original exe.
Thanks, but what exactly are you offering? Hex edits from the official patch? A patch you made or found somewhere?

>>21791050

Awesome, thank you so much. Since it's just one file, opening a hex editor is way better than using an archaic patching program made for Windows 95 anyway.
I tried the official one really quick and it didn't launch at all, but I'm sure that's just because I still need to update the program first.

>>21791250
That Win95 program just applies the same hex edit automatically, I believe.

But I prefer manual edits too, it feels cleaner.

>>21791297
Oh yeah, I'm sure. I binary diffed the nonpatched file for the first version and the change was the same as the one you mentioned.
It appears that the サポートファイル is just the same as the 修正パッチ. They took down the support page for the 初回版 but fortunately archive.org had the page and 4月28日バージョン. And even though the link was no longer there, the website still served a eustia_support.exe containing version 5月3日バージョン.

Weird that the new patch doesn't appear to support the 初回版. Not sure if it was intentional or a screw up on their part to (sort of) take down the 初回版 support page and patch.
I found that the error with the new patch is that BHVC failes to verify sysgrp.arc even though this file isn't included with any of the patches (and all other patches verify correctly). I guess that file must be different in the 通常版. Or in the Windows 10 app version. Just weird and nonsensical like most Japanese software I guess.

>>21791334
Hmm, weird indeed. I decided to try it myself and the newest patch (support_ay.zip) doesn't work for me either. The game just does nothing.

Well, at least the previous ones work fine. I already finished the game years ago like that.

>>21791866
>The game just does nothing.
It's the same for me. Even tried real Japanese locale with no difference. If you ran BHVC.exe I'm sure you'd get the same error about sysgrp.arc.
The update appears to be from October of last year so I'm not sure how this slipped through. I guess nobody plays old games. Maybe they assumed everyone who bought the 初回版 already had the patches and figured they would only hurt pirates by cutting off support. Of course I'd need to check if the patch actually worked for the 初回版 for that to be true.

>>21791886
When you say locale you meant the non-unicode locale setting? Cause it might work with Locale Emulator.

>>21791889
>you meant the non-unicode locale setting
>Cause it might work with Locale Emulator.
Yes. I usually use Locale Emulator and tried that first. It failed so I tried changing locale and rebooting. Neither worked. Of course running BHVC.exe makes it fairly clear it's not a locale issue.

>>21791892
Nah, you can ignore that. BHVC is a simple CRC check, they just didn't update their hash table for these updated files.

>>21791893
>BHVC is a simple CRC check, they just didn't update their hash table for these updated files.
No, it's a bit more complicated than that. As I posted earlier, the file that fails verification is NOT present in any of the updates. So presumably they included an updated hash table that was incorrect in some sense. Maybe they used to include a hash table that would mark two different versions of sysgrp.arc valid and now they only mark one version of it as valid.

If the game checks it's own hashes (at least for system files) when starting up, then this would potentially cause it to exit immediately. The fact that a hash failure of a totally non-updated file occurs in this patch but not in any previous patches is 100% linked to the reason the patch doesn't work. Maybe the patch is designed for a different edition of the game and the CRC of sysgrp.arc failing reflects that.
Absolutely not a coincidence you can ignore.

>>21791906
Naw dawg, it was the locale after all.

You need to edit the Locale Emulator profiles to turn on "Fake System UI Language", then it'll work. It's off by default. No need to use a no DVD, the new support_ay.zip is one already

>>21791912
Interesting, thanks. I was considering if it could be something weird like UI language and never got around to testing. My hypothetical scenario was more like a subtle difference between Japanese and English Windows changing the parsing behavior of the scripting engine, breaking both the hash check and other parts of the game, though.

But seriously how the HELL do you install the wrong hash for a file that was unchanged in all 4 verisons of your software? I think it was reasonable to conclude that it must be related, but the incompetence of Japanese software developers defied my expectations as usual. WTF August. Maybe the dude who worked on the patch had disk corruption and the hash table was created by a script without user intervention?

When will you guys finally admit さくら、もゆ。 is GOTY? It's rated extremely high on both EGS and VNDB.

That's why people decided that adding an average of 10 to all votes on EGS makes things look better. That way even that one chuunige isn't just a 70, like the previous work of the writer was. Meanwhile Favorite finally gets its 90 instead of the boring 80s it always has.

>>21795022
Those virus warnings are super generic and might be false positives. People on Japanese boards often post sha hashes against releases and generally the ones you find from girlcelly are identical. If you haven't found actual evidence of infection I wouldn't worry to much. Be more wary of reuploaders who don't post the original files, and check hashes whenever you can.

Kamiyabai from Hulotte is interesting. They basically took the mindset of a typical otaku towards eroge and transplanted that into a story.
The protag gets 3 "candidates" he has a chance with told (=heroines in an eroge), and then transfers into their school to not stay a virgin for live. (=most important thing is ero) The entire thing is about the connection points (=affection points), while nothing really matters. Basically nobody looks at the girls as actual people in the story. It's all about affection points, getting closer to them and getting laid.

Unfortunately, it's a generic moege, so it only does a small amount of "wait, maybe this isn't how this should be" to the point there's no way to tell if they even wanted to put a message here or whoever thought out the setting didn't think this is bad. After all, moege tend to suck at romance, this one simply sucks at it a good amount more than other ones. The message is definitely not that romance is overrated, because they still tried to do that... kinda.

It was kinda funny seeing arguably the biggest eroge problem played out in a story like this. The incredibly mediocre cast and lackluster way of handling it means it's not worth playing, but alas. They'd probably not be alive today, if this had been recognized as major medium and consumer criticism. For that we have things like Saekano I guess. Works better outside the actual medium.

>>21796757
It's rare to basically tell your customers "hey, you are the problem of the industry". They just do it so half-assed without really daring to go too far, that probably nobody of those saw it, who were supposed to see it. Perhaps it wasn't even their intention, in which case they simply created garbage, as usual. I would've liked it, if it actually really dealt with the issues, but then it would've not been a moege, I guess.

>>21797315
The real problem with this industry are faggots like you who praise games for shitting down your throat. Thankfully, there are almost no people like than in Japan, you niggers who crawl out of your moogy shitcord and come to a fucking /jp/ - Otaku Culture to act like you are above it are only prevalent in the west.

>>21797315
Clearly that wasn't their intention considering all of their games up until then and Atropos released after are just standard moege, you're just trying to see things where there isn't anything.
And it isn't garbage just because you're not the intended audience, their games might be generic and appeal to the lowest common denominator but that doesn't make them bad products. You're just angry they aren't pandering to you instead.

>>21797662
This reminds me of てんぷれっ!!, the title and synopsis made it sound like it would be a parody/critique of generic moege but apparently they were serious and it IS just a generic moege. I don't know why they went with that kind of advertising.

>>21797664
Clearly, they were painfully aware about a bunch of pretentious faggots who talk shit about eroge, so they baited them with satire premise then made it as generic as possible. You should praise it for such subtle meta commentary. That's, like, 10 times deeper than Ritterorden and it's meta commentary about how hard it is to be a passionate doujin author and get people to actually play your games.

A lolige keeps crawling back to the top of my Start menu even after I remove it. Life is hard.

Guys what's the secret with Nukitashi success in sales? I mean the game is great and popular but not all great and popular eroge can stay in top ranking sales even one year after release.

>>21800366
>what's the secret with Nukitashi success in sales
Included twitter button.

>>21800366
Because it's so filled with love and passion for the industry, what with all the deluge of references and whatnot (even the chapter titles).

Decided to play Tsuyokiss and I'm a bit confused about what I've read so far.
There are 3 Tsuyokiss games which depict 3 school terms right?
Apparently the 2nd one was a complete rehash of the first when it came to character routes and wasn't included in the collection.
Should I just read the common route of the second game when I come to it? And how much crossover is there between the first and third game in terms of character routes?

>>21801446
>Should I just read the common route of the second game
They do introduce a new character so yeah, route wse tsuyokiss 2 has the worst version of the routes.

Some characters had better routes in tsuyokiss 1 and some had better ones in 3. All the main heroines have routes in both games, 3 just has an extra main heroine and 2 extra side heroines, certain routes are pretty similar to the previous games routes while some changed quite a bit.

A lot of things.

Just on the PR part, it's aggressively fun. On twitter, the seyuu and the company are very active and engaging, specially Rei's seyuu. They release original PR material quite often. No repetitive boring corporate wall. They also have a talkshow streaming going on.

A few of the seyuus come from the ASMR scene and their expertise shows, bringing in their own fans and people from that scene. What other eroge company scouted new artists like this?

On the work itself, I cannot give a recipe on how to 'make a successful Eroge' , or I would work in the industry. But there is a lot of care behind this one. From all the references that feel in the right place, to the crazy protagonist and heroines. In a sense, it's also a critique to eroge but done with responsibility. Netorare is the biggest trend in JAV? Let's make a whole route about that and embrace the Netorare. Pedos? Oh shit, the protagonist (and the reader...) is becoming a lolicon. Did you want good heroines? Well, here you have secondaries that are even better than the heroines. Or a little sister that actually behaves like a little sister that is fun to hang around, alleluia. Wait, isn't she getting too close? Or Nanase route with the strange mix of forced pretense that carries beyond the believable until you realize she's actually the most natural character. All that in a fun action story yet at some times brutally raw and tragic.

Is it the best shit ever? Noo, the story drags at times, though I think those daily life and dialogue scenes give the opportunity for character development and for the reader to understand the characters. The story itself isn't that great in retrospective, but the journey sure is.
It's also in a rare spot where you don't need to be an Eroge guru to understand all the shit that's going on, but having some knowledge of JP media will help you not miss stuff.

He ain't wrong. Asapro has a knack for comedy, I wonder what they could do if they weren't being limited by the medium. Not like their porn or romance is ever good.

>>21804968
By being dikes who crave for the brother's dick. So you know they'll be pure forever from other dirty dicks and open to a 3P with the hottest heroine while shooing away the small fish. Tell me a better sister than that.

>>21805374
But the hottest heroine in Nukitashi is Wata-chan.

Are you going to play old 90's eroge once the medium dies?

>>21805410
No.

とーかちゃん係になりてええー
I just want to comment that Touka route made me wonder if I can make a religion out of this.
I was waiting for her route since the first game and I didn't get disappointed, her route was so great that I lose the motivation to play the others lol
And a I don't like her seiyuu but she nailed the voice acting in this character, I think she should use more this style of voice (大人びいた感じ？) than her typical moe/high pitched one (or the one that I see her use in the most vns I played with he)

>>21806106
>make a religion out of this
But wasn't religion hardcore-debunked by some of the most intelligence pieces of eroge made in the 21st century?

>>21806106
>>21806422
The Japanese don't have much serious religion but they certainly have some weird cults. Go for it anon.

>>21806106
I don't understand how can anyone like that creep.

>>21806106
>her route was so great that I lose the motivation to play the others lol
And that's exactly why I decided to go Rei>Iku>Touka, though sadly I had a bunch of work lately and couldn't even finish Rei yet. But at least now I know that it wasn't a wrong decision.

>>21805318
Because companies leaving the industry is exactly what we need right now

>>21806742

Did you even play her route in nukitashi 2?
>>21806841
My willpower didn't let me do it, it happened to me more times than I'm proud of. (And yeah time is a bitch if I wasn't in holidays I think I couldn't even get to the route choice lol)

Nukishitters are the same braindead idiots who watch anime youtubers, who would've thought

>>21807016
Not yet. I'm basing my impression on the first game and only finished afterstories in 2 so far. But I doubt it will change. As a sadist, I hate willing masochists. If she loves NTR so much she is into being pumped and dumped and forgotten, then so be it.

>>21790886
No one can become fluent from just reading VNs.

>>21803692

dude, this is actually making me mad. i was genuinely looking forward to it, ever since i saw the op and read about the setting
fuck man

>>21808446
At least now you know how the industry works. Just play games a decade old or so. They still tend to actually install and run, and aren't really affected by the stupid stuff that is going on nowadays. Or go into the more niche stuff. At least there you can talk away the issues with budget restrictions.

I'm actually playing something right now, an old Clochette game, because a new one was released. I haven't touched the new one (and probably never will), but I'd bet it starts with shoving the tits into your face as soon as the girls get introduced, with a nice (shitty) zoom showcasing how much they can't into upscaling. Meanwhile the old game doesn't bother doing that. Heck, even the visible panties in one CG isn't zoomed into. The artist was also still good back then.
Even if the new game wouldn't do that, that kinda stuff is more and more the standard in the industry. Either it's some kinda gacha shit or everything is focused on the porn to the point, you start to question why the heck there's so much shitty text aside of it. Also bigger tits. That seems to be the only thing they can "one up" compared to previous games.

>>21808762
clochette was always bad

>>21808800
But where else will I get my cowtits?

Not old enough.

>>21811610
As long as it runs and the textsize isn't awful and it's readable, it doesn't matter how old it is. But anything before 2005 tends to get more and more wonky in that regard.

>>21811777
Luckily even very old games can be run with scaling in System (enhanced), which is considerably easier on the eyes on high DPI monitors. That's the DOS version but here's a screenshot I took when I was setting up the game to compare System (enhanced) scaling.
If you want to go full >>>/vr/ you could run on a CRT, but thankfully that really isn't necessary to get a good looking game.

its on the seiya saiga walkthough , "他の3人攻略後に"

>>21814253
Why would I use Seiya for a moege though?

>>21814261
I dunno. Maybe try not being a DJT EOP tard that relies on VNDB, then it'll be obvious.

>>21814284
vndb is superior to EGS. Seiya is just guides, I don't need one for a moege with 2-3 meaningless choices and then just choose the heroine you want. Dunno why you're so hostile all of a sudden.

>>21814297
>vndb is superior to EGS

This meme again? We already argued before.

>>21814328
Not him but I agree, vndb is superior and easier to browse, egs is all over the place (it's for example filled with sponsored shit).
The only thing egs has over vndb is that it's more complete, and more detailed.
You can for example more easily and precisely see how long a game takes to be completed but even that doesn't really matter since how a game is "completed" isn't the same for everyone.

What I do is that when I'm searching for a specific game I go on erogamescape to read reviews and know how long it takes to complete it, and when I don't know what I'm searching for I go on vndb.

>>21814261
Just backing up my claim about Shiros route being locked.

>>21815320
Kamige, as with all August games

>>21815320
Best cutie Hotori-chan got shafted. And not in a good way.

>>21815320
I had a lot of fun with it when I revisited it with no expectations after forgetting how the mc sounds and remembered to mute him immediately.

Leyline2 was pretty cool.
Feels like there were quite a few twists at the end,
origin of the night students was pretty neat, still the sheer amount of homunculi in that school.
Hope the third game holds up to the second one.

Anything that's kind of like Secret Game? I already read Rebellions.

>>21815320

>>21817692
Abyss 殺人クラブ. Sadly the 1.5 update patch is impossible to find though.

>>21818232
Read that a couple of years ago.

What did the patch add or change?

>>21817692
Just use vndb. Go to the game's page, look what traits define the game the most for you, and search for them.

>>21815629
>>21815844
Fuck does the MC really sound that terrible? I love voiced MCs.

>>21819513
A lot of male voice actors in the industry are simply not used to do major roles like that I guess. Try it out, and when it doesn't work, mute. Just don't shy away from it. I also like voiced MCs, but if it doesn't work it doesn't work.

How hard to read is 群青の空を越えて?

Clearly best girl.
Not a heroine.

Why do companies do shit like this? This is probably why you went out of business Chuable Soft.

>>21820239
Well, looking at their last game, it's pretty apparent that they had no idea of what they are doing anymore.
It's one thing to have mr. generic self-insert MC participate in a best couple contest, but if you have actual rivals with character and not completely horrendous designs, it's going to be pretty hard to actually sell that the MC is supposed to win. Even Otaku will have trouble lying that much to themselves. Best girl isn't even relevant there. Any 2 actual characters are going to beat one character and a generic self-insert.

>>21820285
I would have voted for the twins personally.

Also notice they hadn't had an imouto character since Noblesse of Rouge? Coincidence? I think not!

What famous mangaka have made nukige? So far I have the games from Aoi Nagisa, Meme50, and Ishikei.

>>21819513
His voice was fine.
The other guy probably muted it because the voice was starting to sound sexually attractive to him.

Also imouto best girl.

>>21808398
>>21808435
Actually, they announced the soshage during a live event, so yeah. Not just rumors.

>>21821274
Dunno how famous they are but I know Tanabe Kyou, santa and Inuboshi have worked on some lolige.

>>21821555
Thanks, that's a start.

I guess I'm looking at games that are just "vehicles" for popular H mangaka. Other artists who fit this criteria are Goban, Itou Life, Happou Bijin, Mizuryuu Kei, and...

>>21821613
>>21820285
This is going to depend on how you're defining "famous mangaka" really.
Like Hisasi did some of the art for Ane Yome Quartet, kakao has worked on several etc.

Murakami Suigun maybe? He's popular for his bondage themed art books. But he's probably more famous for his eroge now.

The trick is to have every girl be a heroine like baseson does. Although even they better make Huang Zu one next game.

>>21823806
That's not really her fault, it's the sound editor's fault.

>>21823806
Did you record the other times as well?

>>21824062
I know, its just weird how it only happens with this seiyuu tho, guess the other ones aren't as clumsy.
>>21824095
No, I only recorded this one because it's funny how she mumbles to get it right.

>>21823806
That was cute. Love how she keeps the same voice when talking to herself. Also it must be some idiot at Lose or the studio that Lose hires since it also happened in Maitetsu.

>>21824593

I like that one too, funny how it has an exact equivalent in English.

>>21824356
Probably all of them.

>>21824563
Shouldn't you be sorting by standard deviation?

>>21824622
No, that doesn't make sense. Why would you want that?

>>21824676
Because it's a better metric than median score. It takes into account how many people voted too.

>>21824692
I don't know what EGS defines as standard deviation, but in mathematics it's defined as the root of the mean squared error. This means it's a measure of how much the votes differ from another and does not tell you anything about where the median or the mean is located.

>>21824563
>>姉さんのススメ that high

I played this game and there is no way anyone would give it such a high rating.
The plot was so shitty even for a nukige.

Anyone remember seeing a preview of some sort of VN (or I think it was a VN) that had a slutty looking girl with a chainsaw
it also had some JRPG looking combat where the girl and other party members fought cops but I'm fairly sure it was still a VN

Anyone else?

>>21824966

>>21824880
someone in another thread found it, it's Donna-donna by alicesoft

>>21824895
>(whatever happened to the translations for that, anyway)

Fuck off, EOP.

>>21824966
I really hate that I can't stop doing that.
The worst thing is that it happens again with the backlog game and I end up with 20 new stalled games before I actually finish 1.

>>21825348
I started alternating games after one route finished, rather than forcing myself to go through the entire game at once. It's nice and lets the the route you finished really sink in before "resetting" and starting over. The alternating doesn't have to be necessarily with games either, sometimes I do one route -> a book -> another route -> a game etc. Keeps things fresh.

So no one actually reading 恋愛、借りちゃいました?
It's Asa Project most solid work scenario wise. The heroines have their own view that goes byoned two lines thinking about the MC, also it's filled with side characters and heroines conversation, the characters in this game feel pretty much alive and had their own life beside the MC. It's feels like I am reading a light hearted romantic comedy novel instead of an eroge.

If the heroines routes will turn to be good, then this will be one of the good games this year.

>>21825397
I heard the twins' route is awesome so I'm looking forward to it.

>>21825397
Finished it like 2 days ago.

Wish Momoko had a proper route though, the end of hers got me tearing up a bit.....

>>21825690
>Momoko
I am playing this and isn't she a lesbian?
Or it's just " lol its just a phase "?

>she a lesbian?
She literally mentions never having actually fallen in love or been in a serious relationship before.

The impression im getting of ryuusei world actor from here is that its pretty much complete trash, but how is Ryuusei compared to other Kinugasa games like akagoei?

Is it decent minus the abrupt end?

>>21825904
It's fine, most of the bashing comes from people who have never read Kinugasa before or people who went in with too high expectations thinking this will be his masterpiece topping everything else. It's his usual quality.

I'm looking for the CG of a certain game called "Pretty Cat ~Lily and Kyle no Daibouken~" however to my surprise, perhaps because the art is somewhat ugly, the game is not on panda, what can I do?

Also the reason I'm looking for CG about this game is because I collect stuff related to female boxing if anyone knows more title that fit the bill, that would be appreciated

I already got several suggestion thanks to VNDB

>>21827847
you might want to find the game and unpack it (i don't know how, you'll have to search for the game engine) or take screenshots if you're desperate
most of the time you'll have little luck finding CGs for old games

So I'm looking at the new Asapro game, Renai Karichaimashita, how disappointed will I be that the sister isn't a heroine? I know that's not the point of the game but it seems weird to not have a route when the MC seems so devoted to his sister

>>21832754
She has an ugly design anyway so I'm fine with no route, the twins are supposed to fill the imouto role so that's probably why they did't make a real imouto route.

>>21832372
Nice.

>>21832372
The look even more like hags now.

>>21832801
They are just sluts who want a threesome, I want a real pure imouto.

sounds like the same issue as the second Schwarzesmarken. Try this - copy the contents of the image to your HDD, then locate the .ini file that governs the whole instalation, it should be install or setup.ini. Open this file in Notepad and save it in Unicode. Then run the instalation.

Am I blind or does vndb not have an insert song tag? It has a million completely useless tags, but not one that's actually good?

>>21836175
https://vndb.org/g851

>>21837129
That's a bit different than insert song. For example, Symphonic Rain has the minigames, but if I remember correctly no insert song. Insert song is when a song is starting to play while the text box is still open and you're advancing the text.

>tfw can't go to Denki Matsuri event to buy all these cool eroge goods
Life is not fair bros

>>21837278
And that's why it's not called insert song. The 3 exceptions that have such a thing in a mini-game or battles can be put under that tag as well. It's basically the same thing anyway.
To be honest, I don't even see much of a difference there anyway. I'd call Symphonic Rain's songs insert songs as well, even though you perform them yourself. You'd call them that in anime as well, when characters would start to play music and sing along.

>>21837801
>You'd call them that in anime as well, when characters would start to play music and sing along.
No, you don't. That's just a song in the narrative. Insert song is separate than what the characters experience, it's for the viewer only. It's BGM, the characters don't actually hear it.

>>21837829
I think the point is that there is no practical difference between the two for most people. Just because you happen to be afflicted with some special form of autism where this distinction matters doesn't mean others (in this case, vndb) are at fault for not catering to your specific needs.
Also for what it's worth EGS also classifies SR's songs as insert songs.
