Alright, here's the ISO for Baldr Force, you'll probably need AlphaRomDie to get it to run:

Did you want the all the Sky games too, or just Dive etc?

>>23453270
All the Sky please. Thanks.

>>23453270
Thanks for the uploads.

>>23453270
Tried it now. Yeah, it can be cracked with the 2012 AlphaRom crack (CRC32: 5F3EB750).

Also can confirm it has at least one key improvement it has over the original release. You can switch to windowed mode without setting you screen to 16bit colors.

Can you up your alpharom crack too?

https://files.catbox.moe/zn43v5.zip

Btw this isn't AlphaRomDie. AlphaRomDie is from 2014 and is more of a bypass. Girlcelly always packs these two together.

Also I included a relatively nice ico for the game.

I wish the baldr series wouldn't have ended with the shitshow that is baldr bringer and the failed-and-shut-down-in-6months-gacha game that is ACE

>check the "Protagonist's Wife as a Heroine" tag
>it's all NTR
I expected no less but its still a bit of a bummer

>>23454290
There are a couple 'protag fucks his wife and daughter' games in there too

What games do you think are good for beginners? I was surprised to see most of these listed under エロゲー初心者にお勧めな作品 when a lot of them are relatively long moe/charage without a plot. What do you think?

>>23454402
Well, those are good for beginners because the medium is 90% those once you get rid of nukige.

>>23454402
Moege/charage in general tend to be good for beginners because the vocab in them is so rudimentary.

>>23454402
>>23454412

Sweeties, you understand that in this case エロゲー初心者 refers to Japanese people who are going to play their first eroge, right?

>>23454420
So? It's the exact same as recommending a book to someone who doesn't read, you choose something easy.

>>23454343
now I'm interested

>>23454427
All those are surely easy for a Japanese person.

>>23454427
I dare you to read FSN in Japanese with your N2 level proficiency.

>>23454447
I wouldn't describe F/SN as a moege or a charage.

>>23454452
You're lumping it with those.

>>23454460
No I'm not, I'm >>23454412

>>23454290
i mean i know i few, but they will be either nukige or single heroine games

>>23454491
I don't mind really, I need something to pass the quarantine

>>23454429
Here's one https://vndb.org/v21007

There are more if you search with tags

>>23454636
can you negate tags in vndb?

>>23454648
Yes, there's an exclude tag function.

>>23453270
Are you still uploading the Sky games? Just double checking. I know they're much bigger games so it can take a while depending on how much bandwidth you have.

>>23454629
probably best bet is this https://vndb.org/v27367 which recently released and the other 2 harmoney and knot fiction from them, then theres https://vndb.org/v6625 , https://vndb.org/v23331 and https://vndb.org/v24557 , and then these are focused on the theme, but they arent really married at the start https://vndb.org/v20515 and https://vndb.org/v20406

>>23454737
many thanks anon

>>23454667
Yep still am, upload speed is a bit erratic and I was using my net for something else. Here's the folder I'll upload Dive 2 into tomorrow, still not sure on doing Sky Zero etc as they're quite large files.
https://mega.nz/folder/AxdkGQCJ#kkl0rK3_dKY9XdcWElRrPg

It's currently got Sky Dive 1 and the extra 3 games that got grouped together will be finished uploading in ~15mins (Force Re-Action, Core Defender & Zero Extreme).

>>23455251
Gentleman and a scholar. Don't sweat it if Sky Zero is too much.

How was the Shuffle 2 demo? In my opinion what made Shuffle average was that the MC didn't click with anyone. All the girls were extremely cute but their conversations and romance with the MC made it boring as fuck. The best interactions were actually between the girls. Is 2 the same way?

>>23455251
If you're up to uploading more, Baldr Bullet Revellion would be cool. This collection version has gotten a new update too, so it's decidedly more fixed than the original.
http://www.web-giga.com/support/download/download_mpcbbr.html

Btw the collection version of Baldr Force got an update too, so grab it if you haven't yet.

>>23455251
PSA: If you're wondering why Baldr Sky: Core Defender crashes after cracking, it's because it doesn't need a crack.

I'm happy I checked.

>>23455251
Can I use the same crack in >>23453525
for Sky Dive 1 and Dive 2?

>>23457033
Update: Baldr Sky Zero Extreme and Baldr Force Re:Action also don't need cracks and will crash if you use the crack on them.

>>23457061
Dunno. I have to sleep soon, so I'll be checking tomorrow. So you can try before me.

>>23454452
It's not? Damn.

>>23457061
>>23457093
Eh, j/k. Sleep is hard so I tested Skies instead. Yeah, the crack works for both Dives. And you can do the combined install, of course.

>>23455251
based and hotdoggerpilled

>>23456332
In the trial the MC doesn't even know the heroines are into him yet. Heroines were pretty wonderful except Kirara.

>>23457702
He doesn't have to know that they're into him, rather I'm asking if there's any good chemistry in the first place. Heroines were great in Shuffle as well but they couldn't carry the game. There's only so much a heroine can do interacting with a brick wall.

>>23457819
I am the MC and they had good chemistry with me.

maybe this is not the right place to ask, but what translation of Senfoku Rance do you consider to be the superior one? compared with the original script that is.

I was thinking of playing it raw but I just barely started out I'm going at a snails pace with pic related already.

>>23458262
Ask elsewhere. But the truth is that all translations are shit by default.

Can anyone seed for Zero Infinity and Electro Arms? I'm stuck at like 94% for Electro Arms and Zero Infinity is only downloading with like 5 kb/s.

>>23458262
The one where all the text is in japanese.

>>23454452
Then what is it? A cookingゲ?

>>23458262
Just play raw starting from Rance 01

any recs for games with toku-like settings? I like outlandish outfits but I'm don't care much for the generic fantasy look

>>23459963
You'd love 中の人などいない

>>23459963
悪の女幹部

>>23457702
>except Kirara
The fuck you have against her? All her rumble about Kouhaku-nee is cute and funny, also it's leave a chance for character development on how she would fall for the MC. Usually characters like her are either gay for real or just gag side character, it's pretty interesting how they made her a main heroine.
Also she has amazing seiyuu.

Anyone know of a decent walkthrough to Oyako Rankan? I tried it without one, but got Game Over'd twice, then I restarted from square one with a walkthrough I found on baidu, but it gets a bunch of the choices wrong and also lead me to a Game Over.
Perhaps I'm just destined to be cucked.

is 事 used as a slang for dick?

Subaru is banging his mom and goes "but we are parent and child and she says: 分かってる。でも昴の事が好きなの
so I take she is basically saying "I know, but your dick likes it" or something to that effect

>>23461207
What, even N5's should know that's not what it means.

>>23461207
Please, for yourself and the sake of everyone in this thread, learn Japanese.

I did find her antics amusing, but I'm just not into these gag type heroines. I might change my mind if it turns out she's just pretending to be that way.

>>23462928
>Pretending to be retarded
Now that pisses me off.

>>23461207
Best case of 'learning Japanese through eroge' ever.

>>23461207
lmao

>>23463675
Moogy said he passed N1 like that.

Seems like the age collection gets shared. So people can play these games without 1000 crashes now. For maybe a year. And with 10 crashes only. Maybe.

Anything worth playing? I never looked much at their stuff, as I figured, most wouldn't work anyway. Owarinaki Natsu I tried, but wasn't impressed.

>>23464640
which disc has Owarinaki Natsu?

>>23464758
No idea. I played the old version, on win7. That worked, aside of the game giving errors every time I started it, wanting to deactivate literally everything to find out the issue. There was no issue though.

>>23464794
I see, I guess I should just get the whole thing and check it disc by disc since I've already read most of the things in the collection. I never had any gamebreaking issues. For the original trilogy I went with versions which I think are the 2012 releases since they had the ero restored but the CGs were cut to 16:9. Altered Fable, AyuMayu, Haruka Maniax and Supplement all worked except AF would give me an error message saying that it goes into safe mode every time I start it but it still worked fine.

>>23464640
Any issues in Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu? The original one.

>>23464640
Any torrents or whatever yet? literally too retarded to understand the system all the uplaoder use.

>>23464987
It's on Nyaa, Redditor.

>>23464992
4 discs of 20 are on nyaa.

>>23465011
Read the description, Redditor.
>This collection kinda big but Tailon only shared 4 Disk at the moment

>>23464640
Disc 2 is KimiNozo Latest Edition, Special Fandisc and an After.

The rUGP versions aren't any higher than the original releases had though. Seems like all they updated is the added logo at the startup.

>>23465224
found this on twitter

>>23465224
Weren't people having crashing issues with this one in particular?

Did they even do anything to make it work better on modern OS? Or was it just a cashgrab.

>>23465693
>Did they even do anything to make it work better on modern OS? Or was it just a cashgrab.

Maybe they did. The version number is still the same, but they could have updated the game internally.

So is KimiNozo's source of drama the MC being absolutely retarded?

>>23466347
You're going to have to be more specific about said "retardation."

>>23466347
Yeah

>>23466436
Misunderstandings and issues because the MC is too apathetic/stupid to speak up and make decisions and the result being that everyone suffers. You know, the kind of drama that would be resolved if MC and others just communicated their feelings and thoughts honestly.

>>23466498
I don't know if a simple counseling session can even fix what happened to his life.

>>23466498
Dude, it's your standard "MC stuck in love triangle" drama.

>>23455251
>>23456372
Alright, done Revellion and added DiveX to the folder.
Also, does anyone have a copy of the JPN PS2 version of Sakura Wars 5, I've got a physical copy of the American version, but I'd rather play it in Japanese like I've done for all the ones before it, the only torrent and direct link I can find is dead.

How is musicus? Does it focus too much on music aspect or is it just a drama with SoL moments?

>>23466919
Returning the favor for your service.

Thanks for that. I'll probably grab that SW3 prequel as well, can't be that bad.

I'm not ashamed to admit I mostly pick what games to play based on the art.

>>23466919
Thanks.
Here's an update for this version of DiveX.

Btw here's an update for the non-Revellion Baldr Bullet you've uploaded last year.
http://www.web-giga.com/support/download/download_mpcbsdivex.html
The link is no longer easily visible on Giga's site cause updates to newer games dropped it off of the recently updated list, so I'm posting it here for visibility.

Is Alcot Honey Comb alive?

Does anyone know where I can find the Japanese version of Really? Really? I really really don't want to play the DS version.

>>23470029
Nevermind. Thanks to the anon who posted that DJT site, they were useful for once.

I can't believe Fujiwara Keiji died bros.

Does anybody have a link to flyable heart?

>>23472170
girlcelly's torrent on Nyaa Sukebei still has seeds.

Why the fuck 99% of eroge H scenes are not fap material? What's even the point then

>>23472543
Medium conventions that can't die.

>>23472543
You don't like current h-scenes? I'd say they are objectively more "fappable" than ever with how many fetishes they insert into them nowadays. Honestly I just wish the transition into h-scenes was more natural and actually made sense with the heroines' personalities. Writers don't know how to make scenes sensual or erotic. The "buildup" always sucks and always involves lucky sukebe shit. Thus it's better to just look at the CG in the gallery later and make up your own scene in your head.

>>23472543
Maybe they aren't fappable to you but that doesn't mean they weren't made as fap material, that's their only purpose, at least on modern eroge.

>>23472585
>how many fetishes they insert into them nowaday
Bro the only fetish I can see in eroge is NTR these days

>>23465693
>>23466273
They did update everything to run in win 10, they just didn't port anything to new engines.

>>23472648
Stop playing NTRge then

>>23474801
Loved that game. Loved when Neko-nee wants to have sex with him but is too scared so his sister holds her down but she begs him not to do it so he fucks his sister instead. So she gets to watch him commit incest because she's too scared to have sex.

YES

>>23474833
Tell us your honest opinion, anon.

Any VNs with really amazing art?
The only thing that comes to mind is the biman series, even then it kinda dwarfs in comparison to pixiv artists.

>>23475447
I think Lose's VN's have great art.

>>23475447
https://vndb.org/v19290 this has the best art I've seen from any game

>>23475458
Speaking of Lose, is Monobeno Happy End the "definitive" version while the original should be ignored?

>>23475447
Shinsou Noise.
It's absolutely gorgeous.

>>23475579
Too bad the content is absolute shit LOL

>>23475579
There's a reason why I didn't mention the story.

Is this any good?
https://vndb.org/v21667
I like the art and the use of foreshortening for the cgs but its weird fetishes might be a bit too much for me especially since it delves in guro and torture territory.

Material Brave is the absolute peak of art.

>>23476118
you dont have to pay anything, if you play the minigame(which is just clicking once and it plays automatically) once you will probably have enough points to get nearly any game on there 100 times over

>>23476142
For that game you need their exclusive cracker though, dunno if it's the same for everyone but it took me a couple of months of login in for the minigame to get access to it.

That game doesn't look like it deserves that much effort.

>>23476170
yeah you are right, i can upload the cracked files if shows he put in the effort and registered there, though most games there dont need the cracker

>say you want some game
>there's only one site that has it because the uploader bought it and only shared there and other sites suck ass cause westerners don't buy and share as much as chinks

Fuck chinks and their cuck credit systems. Trust me when I say that if I really, really wanted to play a game they have and it weren't available anywhere else, I'd rather buy it than cuck out for them.

>>23476229
Fuck you, chink bootlicker.

More Age games from the anniversary box got up. This time it's the discs with Muv Luv and Alternative. Grab it for the warm feeling of not having a release tainted by the inclusion of English. (One of my fav feelings.)

>>23476451
9moe are the good chinks though (unlike mikocon). The point system encourages contribution, hence why they have games not available elsewhere. It's not even that hard to earn points, upload a few things or shitpost using google translate and you're done. If the forums wasn't chinese, I bet you'd use them you fucking racist.

Just finished Flowers winter chapter. What did you guys think about the ending and the series in general?

I am a bit lukewarm about the big reveal after all those cliffhangers, but I wasn't expecting much in the first place. I also feel that the other half of the couples (Mayuri, Chidori and Nerine) is underdeveloped. Overall I still enjoyed the series immensely, and I always end up liking each protagonist even more after I finished each VN. Each VN depicts the internal struggles and growth of the character pretty well. And I also really like the Suou/Erika chemistry.

There are some unresolved questions such as the culprit and reason behind Yuzuriha's attack. Does anyone know?

>>23476636
Didn't play the series yet, I want to play Kara no Shoujos first, but in general I think I would have been improved by the inclusion of very explicit yuri sex.

In fact I think this rule applies to pretty much any game, even the ones with mostly non-yuri sex too.

Lastly I want to mention that I don't engage in Kastel-style delusions. My enjoyment of yuri is deeply-rooted in my stable male sexuality and I want you to be aware of this fact.

>>23476646
>Lastly I want to mention that I don't engage in Kastel-style delusions. My enjoyment of yuri is deeply-rooted in my stable male sexuality and I want you to be aware of this fact.

One can't be too sure.

>>23476646
Holy based.

>>23476646
This is very true.

Trying to read something very simple since I'm a beginner. Currently reading SugarKiss! https://vndb.org/v26603 did I make a good choice?

>>23476636
Still didn't read the winter chapter, because I feel it won't be able to top the summer and autumn side stories, not by far. Episode 1 was weak and the mystery around it not really that interesting. Suo is also the most boring character. Seriously, what a fuck up to split the main plotline in episodes 1 and 4.

>>23476646
Flowers needed sex, badly. And not innocent vanilla fingering, but some hot violent sex between Yuzuriha and the rest of the cast, nun included. It would improve tenfold.

>>23477292
>but some hot violent sex between Yuzuriha and the rest of the cast, nun included. It would improve tenfold.
>Yuzuriha
Fuck no.

>Suo is also the most boring character.
I loved her. It was pretty comical how depressed she was and how she looked at things. Her "love interest" was pretty shit though. Even more so with the ending of episode 1.

Flowers was generally pretty questionable with quite a few characters. Then again, I didn't even go toward summer, due to the crap ending of Spring and me not being a fan of switching protagonists like that. (And pausing the main story seemingly randomly..) Should probably continue it at some point, now that all episodes are out. Not sure if really care enough though. There's a ton of VNs that I'm more interested in, and I'm not even reading those most of the time, because I like experimenting with random shit way too much.

>>23476478
It's like Age wants to dab on me. MuvLuv inluded in this set also contains Chinese.

>>23478038
from what I got from a few of their livestreams (fuck them doing 4+ hours every weak I'm not listening to that shit) they had 1-2 guys upgrade everything to win10 who kept bitching about spaghetti code, so they went with the most modern build they had for ML.

Sorry for the rant but I am PISSED. What the hell is with so many games having a long ass common route but skimping on the actual heroine routes? Obviously not talking about nukige but charage. Is it that much to ask for a proper buildup to the romance? I'm tired of seeing MC and heroines fucking out of nowhere without even a confession, first kiss, or even a date as something other than friends. It seriously cheapens the whole thing, it doesn't matter how long they spend in the common route as "friends", where's the actual courting?

>>23478127
Things are graver than I realized. Upon installing I found out it also includes English.

>>23478179
I end up enjoying the common route more than the heroine routes these days because the heroine routes suck so much.

>>23476272

>>23478179
Maybe try Yuzusoft? Cafe Stella had a long common route (and even longer heroine routes). First h-scene with Natsume is some finger-licking. Probably you'll also find it lacks going out on dates and proper scaling up of the relationship; only one date scene and it's flicked through fast.

>>23477292
Flowers 2 and 3 stories are miles better than what the first episode offered.

>>23478957
Agreed. Most of good content is in the common routes, for whatever reason.

>>23479102
Honestly not a huge fan of Yuzusoft, but thanks for the suggestion. I guess I should probably read Haruka, Giniro one day despite it probably rivaling France Shoujo in length, since I hear that has amazing character routes.

>>23479081
Perhaps in the heterosexual department.

>>23479193
Okay, maybe it's worth downloading a 100% save file and fapping to the H via the scene replay menu.

>>23479219
That's not what I meant and I strongly advise you don't do that. Ever.

>>23476056
It's a passable localization from 工口 倫子, I feel.

>>23478179
For every game with a long common route, I'm pretty sure there are ones that have a super short one too. The common route in Sakura Mau Otome no Rondo ends pretty much as soon as you meet everyone and dive immediately into the character routes.

>>23479276
Thanks that actually sounds pretty decen-

I'd rather just have a reedited and shorter version of alternative.

>>23480164
Didn't they already said how it'd go on? They destroy the rest of the hives pretty easily and that's it?
The unlimited sequels were cool, but that's because the setting was horribly fucked.

>>23480204
Different protagonist.

>>23480210
That's a given, I mean.

>>23480204
when the Alternative manga ended it had a final chapter that takes place in the future showing adult Kasumi and Inia and humanity already having spaceships, preparing to go and meet the creators of the BETA Then age released some artbooks teasing new mecha and character designs to expand on that but this went nowhere.

Why does Saga Planets always do this? There's noting stopping them from making her BR.
At least this better mean she's fuckable this time.

Uh? The box set includes English? If so, it's the censored version or the original release? (2003-2006) My internet is fucking slow right now to download

>>23484264
She appears in the OP, so there's a high chance she's fuckable, kinda like the Ayaka and Mina's threesome, though.

>>23484437
Well they went back to 4 main heroines so it's probably 2 sub routes for her and pink like in hanasaki and floflo.

Buildup of romance doesn't even really happen with longer routes. Most moege with long routes still have the first lewd scene 20 minutes in. The rest is boring shit and crap drama.
That's simply moege.

Classic charage on the other hand usually don't care much about the romance at all, because it's secondary. It's usually attached at the end or beginning, but doesn't take much time so there's time for the actual character story.

As weird as it may sound, but this medium isn't actually having that much actual romance. I remember Natsukoi as a better example of how you build up a relationship, but in exchange all but one route became nonsensical. The entire common route is dedicated to build the relationship with the main heroine, and not continuing on that path is just weird. (the 5 minutes around the branching point was so weird, with the writer trying to act as if any of the other girls are a thing..)

You'll usually find better romances in works not actually focusing on the whole thing. Not always, but it's more likely. Often times, when there's actually some kinda plot happening, characters can grow more naturally together. But that pretty much requires a set in stone main heroine, which is something not too many games have either. Actually, I'd go so far and say, it's unlikely a VN without a set in stone main heroine will have a particularly good romance going.


Now, don't think that single heroine games are the solution. There's usually so little effort put into those, that they are shit as well. Some can be okay though. Like pic related, until you get to the part you pay for.

>>23484292
Only for Muv-Luv and Alternative. They're based on the rUGP 7.0 Western/Chinese releases, but also include Japanese and porn of course.

>>23486608
It's kind of ironic because moege/charage tend to focus more on average school life than romance. Kind of annoys me because I don't care about generic pervert friend getting into trouble for the thousandth time. I don't care about exams. Don't care about pool/beach/lucky sukebe events. All that time wasted on cliche events could have been spent fleshing out romance and character development between MC and chosen girl.

My current frustration is with Shuffle Essence (I know, Shuffle sucks). You go to the pool/beach at least 6 times, and NOTHING HAPPENS. You spend so much time reading about exams and the weather (seriously, they go into depth about the weather at least 3 times). Hours wasted on MC's friend who needs to hog screentime to be jealous of MC and flirt with girls. All of this time could have been devoted towards the actual routes, so that the girls just don't fuck MC without confession or even a kiss. The most important part of the game and you don't even develop it properly, fuck you! Why is MC treating the girls like a cheap hook-up? You have all these charming and cute heroines that are wasted. Why do games do this when they have genre descriptions like 恋愛ADV, 純愛ADV, and so on? Obviously not just Shuffle does this but pretty much every game. Except nowadays you have more h-scenes which is just putting adhesive tape over a collapsing building.

Nips just don't give a fuck. They think you go from friends -> immediately fucking. Think I'll just stick to plotge now because my autism can't be satiated.

>>23487626
>They think you go from friends->immediately fucking
It's a video game. A piece of entertainment.

>>23487659
So that automatically means they can't put effort into writing it?

Why is what you said considered effort? What's wrong with it?

>>23487866
have you even read his whole post

>>23487866
Is your brain rotting? If you are writing a 恋愛ADV or 純愛ADV, why would you not write the actual 恋愛 or 純愛?

>>23487789
It's FICTION. If you can't differentiate between fiction and reality you should stop posting on the internet right now and go outside. A piece of entertainment does not reflect the general consesus on how relationships in any given society work.

>>23487936
the same could be said for you by nitpicking a literal throwaway comment from someone who was primarily complaining about fiction

>>23487908
>>23487919
I was saying it's lazy as fuck. I'm not saying that's how all relationships happen in real life (actually a lot of them do, but this is fiction where things are supposed to be idealized, and that's why it's so jarring). Ok, you have all these pure heroines who have never had a relationship before, but they are willing to sleep with MC without any confession, romantic relationship, prior commitment, or anything.That isn't consistent at all. Yet you have 20 hours of writing poured into the common route with banal shit that doesn't flesh out the characters. Surely you can take some of that time and flesh out the heroine/MC relationship as well?

>>23487947
In no way shape or form is
>Nips just don't give a fuck. They think you go from friends -> immediately fucking.
a comment on fictional circumstances.

>>23487979
We've been hearing complaints like yours ever since VN generals were a thing. Your gripes aren't going to solved so might as well learn to live with it or be more selective of what you read.

>>23487987
I'm saying they think it's an acceptable way to progress things in the context of the game. Hence "nips just don't give a fuck (about writing actual relationship progression)." Learn to read.

>>23488016
Sorry, you're right. I should go back to talking about EOPs instead.

>>23487979
I do agree that a long common route that doesn't flesh out the heroines is incredibly lazy, I just don't agree that sudden relationships without a confession are. Don't see a problem with it.

>>23487979
>I was saying it's lazy as fuck.
It is and I didn't disagree with the actual point you were making, just the last three sentences. However, I don't really know what kind of visual novels you are reading because
>they are willing to sleep with MC without any confession, romantic relationship, prior commitment, or anything.
isn't something that I have personally seen in visual novels that focus entirely on romance. Maybe I read all the good ones and you always pick the bad ones?

So did you know Mikocon uploaded even more discs from the Age 20th collection? Only DDLs so far though. I guess they're waiting for the full collection with the torrent.

>>23488107
I downloaded the whole disc three in torrent.

>>23488143
I'm talking about discs 12 and 13. You probably mean Girlcelly's third torrent that has discs 7-11.

>>23488054
Being fuck buddies before getting into a relationship is pretty much the opposite of junai/renai. Fine in a nukige but terrible and lazy in a pure love game.

>>23488092
Maybe. Do you have any recs for romance games then?

>>23488044
>Sorry, you're right. I should go back to talking about EOPs instead.
How the fuck did you even jump to that conclusion? You that retarded?

>>23472543
The only thing I wish they'd improve on is at least inserting the dick deeper into the girl's mouth, pussy, ass, whatever. I'm sick of those cgs where the girl is just giving guy head for the entire blowjob scene or the scenes where only the tip is in.

Art is meant to beautify something, you're meant to draw beautiful things and ommit what is unsightly.
Pubic hair one of the unsightly things. While it can make a man look manly, it doesn't beautify women.
If you're going for full realism though you might as well put a slight mustache/beard, armpit hair on a girl too, since that's more natural but it isn't beautiful.

>>23489514
>Pubic hair one of the unsightly things.
That's just your opinion.

To be fair, it's top class in H animation. Probably the reason why their next work is taking so long too.

Bushes are womanly. It wasn't seen as "unsightly" until porn stars started shaving completely. Which by the way has nothing to do with unsightliness, but making it easier to see penetration.

Production values made a mecha VN actually work.

Played through both the first and second Kara no Shoujo.

Anyone else thought the second one was kind of weak, overall? Story wise there’s a lot of reliance on longwinded flashbacks and drama rather than pacing them better between story events that actually push things forward, and instead of really continuing where the first game left off the second one mostly focuses on a new cast of merely okayish characters – all the while the reason anyone would likely buy a sequel gets put on hold – until the sudden true ending where the new stuff finally gets connected to first game's ending and things start getting expla- HAHAHA NOPE, a sequel hook it is. You could argue the first game also yanked the player’s chain for a sequel but at least it had the decency of solving its own mysteries.

The game system also somehow managed to be worse than the first game: slow skip, only a handful of new scenes sprinkled around for the second playthrough that in no way warranted forcing the player to replay the entire fucking game from the very beginning, especially with a second opening movie setting up new false expectations. Why did they even bother making one? Saying that about 99% of second full playthrough is repeated content isn’t likely even a hyperbole, and even most of the actually new midgame stuff was just showing things from other perspectives the first playthrough already made clear or strongly hinted at – or they ended up being an excuse for H-scenes.

First Kara no Shoujo was definitely convoluted without a walkthrough, but at least the ending requirements made a slight amount of sense because the protagonist found new clues or something (even if it was sometimes through a shitty coincidence), while in this game’s case it was just a whole load of padding for new scenes that happen with little rhyme or reason. I actually got stuck for an hour or two right at the very end, at complete loss what to do even when following a walkthrough to a T. Turns out the only reason I couldn’t get the true ending was that I hadn’t yet seen a certain 1 *minute* long midgame bad ending 冬子を捜しに・・・ that has zero story, no CGs or anything of importance and that you likely miss due to its obviousness unless you’re a 100% completionist – it’s so inconsequential that the two walkthroughs I consulted apparently didn’t even realize seeing it was one of the several unlock requirements for the final chapter. Also, I accidentally got the 託宣の御子 non-ending on my very first blind playthrough so you can imagine how livid I was at the fact it was caused by not having enough flags – and that I had more game to retread. In terms of game systems this is probably the unfrendliest title I’ve played where separate routes taking different turns makes zero sense from both gameplay and story perspective other than to artificially pad out playtime, like holy shit all my goodwill towards the second game gets drowned out by all the gameplay suffering you have to go through for the last bits of story that don't even give you a proper conclusion.

>>23490890
Yeah, no. The flat ones may as well be traps.

>>23490883
I dunno. Give it a check.

I wish I could smell eroge heroines. I bet they smell great.

>>23491180
They reek of MC cum.

>>23490890
I always prefer play the original version of every game but I agree with this, I don't like censorship, they should let you choose what version you want to play.

>>23490638
Thanks anon, so it's based in the last version. Wonder what japs though about this, probably they don't care.

>>23490963
>The game system also somehow managed to be worse than the first game: slow skip, only a handful of new scenes sprinkled around for the second playthrough that in no way warranted forcing the player to replay the entire fucking game from the very beginning
Man, I can't tell you how much I agree with you here. I fucking hated having to let that slow skip go through the entire game in order to get the true endings for both games, it's fucking bullshit. Can't they just fucking add an instant skip to next choice/unread text option like most games? I imagine you played the HD re-release and maybe they added a similar feature, but it was like that in the original. I can only hope that whenever they release the third installment, they introduce that as an option.

>>23492352
Or you could just save after every choice and just come back whenever instead of crying about slow skip.

>>23492410
*Before

>>23492410
No dude, you don't understand. You need to start a completely new play-through in order to actually reach the true ending and see the new scenes. It's not a matter of saving after a choice and reloading.

>>23490963
Please play caucasus next without a guide.

>>23492473
Are the scenes worth it though? Can't you just watch it on NND or YT?

>>23492503
The scenes and the true endings are obviously the crux of the game. Maybe you can find them now somewhere but not back when I read them, since it was close to release. on that note, watching vn scenes on youtube is almost always a shitty experience, most of the time the quality sucks, the volume is whack and the compression just adds to the already shitty quality

For those who don't skip H-scenes, do you keep background voices turned on or do you turn them off? I turn them off, they often clash with the voiced lines and it's distracting.

>>23492636
most of the ones I play that have background voices mute them when the girl is actually talking

>>23476636
I'm reading 秋編 right now and it's quite fun (hurts a lot to read Yuzuriha's perspective really). Looking forward to getting there myself.

What's a good horror VN that's very similar to Fatal Frame in tone?

Is there a good pacing tag for EGS?

>>23492714
I only ever see the one for bad pacing.

>>23492636
I never used to turn them off, but I do now after playing some BISHOP games. The 3P+ scenes were a clusterfuck of background voices and when a voiced line came up the only background voice that stopped was the heroine's who was speaking.

Memes asides, What were some eroge that you actually felt were groundbreaking or mindblowing when you played them? 'Life-changing' as some may say.

The only eroge I felt this happened for me was Rance 10. I just thought the entire concept behind Part 2 was ingenious and the ending actually delivered on 30 years of build up.

>>23494209
So the only eroge you've ever played in however many years that was mindblowing came out last year?
That's depressing.

>>23494255
Eh. I've played really famous stuff like Muramasa, YU-NO, Cross Channel, and Subahibi but when I finish them I think they're pretty great and really fun reads but I don't consider them mindblowing or life changing works for me personally.

Is Mamagoto the best mommyge we have had a while?

>>23492636
I turn the BGM down and turn all the voices up. If I'm there to jack off, I'd do it to sounds of choking on dick rather than the silence of 10 lines of narration for every one line of voice.

>>23494209
From what I can remember G-senjou fucked me up with the twist at the end and I got quite impacted for a while after I ended White album 2 (and suffered a lot while playing it).
Rance 10 gave me one of the biggest feeling of emptiness I have got after I ended it, as I was quite fond of the series.

>>23492655
秋編 is great. I like the depressive mood of the second half against the usual cheerful character of Yuzuriha.

At this point I'm not sure if this is some elaborate bait or people are that fucking stupid. Next you're going to tell me that "the Earth is round" and "the sky is blue" are also ingenious and life-changing statements.

>>23497079
It also invented the revolutionary idea of focusing the sequel on the protagonist's kids, no other work has ever done this before

Are there any series/games similar to MGS where the game has a deeper or more symbolic story than you originally expected?

>>23497148
And how exactly is that "life-changing"?

>>23497187
After 30 years of build-up I got to see a bunch of little kids going on an adventure, seems like the greatest work of art ever made to me

>>23497182
I don't think there's a VN writer who has such grandiose delusions as Japan's biggest Westaboo Kojima.

How does this https://i.imgur.com/ajQYkR3.jpg make you feel?

>>23497372
I wish more eroge had their artists actually draw it.

>>23497409
Nah, it's disgusting and I'm glad they aren't actually drawing it. It's like balls on futanari, acceptable if it's text-only.

>>23497430
Absolutely disgusting, women should have pubes and futas should have big suckable balls.
Preferably, combine the two.

I don't like pubic hair because sometimes it also gets censored and just ends up adding more mosaics.

>>23497372
Personally, I don't really care either way, but if it got a text description but the image is smooth, it does feel weird.

>>23497438
This shit taste is incurable. Consider a lead poisoning.

The best type of pubic hair is a heart shaped trim job. Do not argue with me on this.

What about hair around the rim of the ass?

It makes me wish that writers and artists actually fucking communicated during the production process.

like 32.6% dislike 67.4% via Alicesoft
https://www.alicesoft.com/information/2020/entry002537.html

>>23498018
Too much effort. Most games simply have generic scenes requested by the artist(s), and the very same scenes requested by the writers. Details like hair down there isn't part of that. Just "girl cooks", "girl on a date with dude", "girl in front of tree" and shit like that. Also positions during lewds.

It's actually kinda funny. It was so obvious, when I played a certain game by Pulltop, which had always so fucking weird places for CG and often backgrounds that were so nonspecific, that the CG could be very freely used.

Trimmed pubes are best.
It shows that the person specifically took the time to think that bushy unkempt hair wouldn't look good to a sex partner and took action to keep the area tidy. The mark of a sexually ready, capable, and searching human.

>>23498464
But Anon. Japan only likes PURE girls. If the girl is sexually ready, it means she knows what sex is, thinks about it, knows porn and masturbates a lot, especially to hot guys that are not MC. She also looks at other guys as potential love/sex interests.

>>23498726
They already do that by having the girls always be aware of their safe days, and heroines that watch porn and masturbate are becoming pretty common.

>>23494209
Don't know about life-changing, but I loved idea of
らくえん～あいかわらずなぼく。の場合～
where characters do not develop, they do not get better. They stay same or even become worse.
Game pretty much tells you from the beginning that they're losers who make kusoge and won't accomplish anything. And it's the truth. Despite that it's portrayed as fun thing, not depressing stuff. That's realistic in a good way, I think.

>>23498752
Common? Must be reading the wrong works. All I ever see is the girl having touched herself the first time while thinking about MC, if at all.
Safe days are also more nukige tier, where it makes sense I guess. Most other works just ignore that stuff completely.

>>23499204
Whenever someone whines about an overabundance or scarcity of something, it's usually because they don't look hard enough.

>>23499204
Well the recent moege I've played are the newest CUBE and Hulotte, Cafe Stella, Renkari and Aikotoba, and they all had it, granted they're thinking about the MC but most of the time it's before they start dating, and in the case of Hulotte it was all the heroines with the MC remarking how it clearly isn't their first time masturbating for most of them.
Even ignoring that, recent games are full of sex right after confession with the girl perfectly knowing what to do and giving in to the pleasure instantly.
I'm just trying to say people don't really seem to be putting too much importance on the purity and innocence of the heroines nowadays, beyond expecting them to be virgins and only have eyes for the MC, obviously.

>>23499483
It's also really jarring when a heroine who seems really innocent and childish suddenly starts spewing dirty words like マンコ and 中出し during her H-scenes with no build-up to it.

>>23497227
there's really nothing? ill take anything at this point that actually tries to deliver a message rather than just telling a story

>>23497148
So is the Imouto Paradise series also life changing?

>>23499882
Delivering hidden messages is cringe and I wish hack authors who do that fucked off from this medium.

>>23499957
It's as good or better than Rance 10 that's for sure

>>23499483
I've played a bunch of those and am really not seeing it. The only one I remember from "recent" games is already a good year old. Games usually don't go this far, not like this was even that far to begin with.

Thing is, even with all of this, it's still usually acknowledged but kept at that. How many eroge heroines can you name that actually tried dating someone before the MC, and it just not working out? No massive drama, just not working out. Still a virgin, too. That's nothing weird, and completely normal for girls if they are interested in that stuff. On the other hand, how many can you name that got confessed to a ton of times, but rejected all of them, till MC came?


Heroines are still extremely "idealized" on the purity factor. Yes, it changed a little, with them getting more lewd, but I think that's also because especially moege get closer to nukige these days.

>>23500060
You can't fuck your daughters in Imopara, but you can in Rance 10, so it's still better.

The green and blonde ones. Don't ask how or why, it's lore magic.

>>23501807
??? Did you just look at the CGs or something?

>>23501820
No? It gets explained in part 2. Although to anyone with even a tiny bit of brain that was obvious since 9.

>>23501844
I think you should go look up the definition of the word "daughter", friend.

>>23501887
I think you really should finish part 2. And specifically do their events. They do count as blood-related daughters.

>>23501912
Hot.

You can pick it apart and call it cliche but that doesn't change the fact that it actually used those elements in order to create an epilogue to the series that actually felt impactful, and addressed the Ludo situation in a more poignant way than Kichikuou did.

>Please play caucasus next without a guide.
Oh don't remind me. I actually did years ago, but as far as I remember the game was noticeably shorter. I still remember how the true ending required you to get some inane flags: like you could literally get to the true ending path and have ALL the required clues (even the shitty ones that required pixel hunting) but the game wouldn't allow you to pinpoint the culprit at the end if you missed some completely unrelated flag during the first part of the game that has nothing to do with the case itself, you just get the same ending as if you accused the wrong person. One neat thing I liked about Caucasus however was that you had to let one of the characters die because it's the only murder where the culprit leaves a damning clue, but then again, fucking flags.

I have no idea why Innocent Grey is so insistent on having these sorts of insensible flag systems when they already have a clue system and many parts where you're expected to figure out mysteries by yourself to pinpoint culprits and avoid a game over.

A question, is there any way how to run Hanachirasu on W8 and up? The software boots and everything but it randomly freezes during play, and freezes every time I try to save or load a save file. Compatibility mode does nothing just as Win8WOH.

Or to try a different angle, and I'm sorry for going over the bounds of this thread, but does the English version of the game contain original Japanese text as an option?

>>23503783
Use a VM and learn Japanese.

>>23503274
is this a しゅがてん sequel?

>>23503783
VM is the way to go unfortunately since these nitroplus titles are gay like that
>but does the English version of the game contain original Japanese text as an option?
I don't think so. The English version containing the original text seems to have started with VNs being released on Steam and Hanachirasu was before that was a thing.

>>23503790
>>23503908
Thanks. Guess I'll go with VM then.

>>23503866
Don't think so.

>>23502860
Way to miss the point.

It's so cute, I love shiratama

I'll grow a penis if I'll try hard enough.

I was looking at vndb only to notice theres a new TsukiKana entry by tone works and it turns out to be a Rein exclusive fandisk

https://vndb.org/v26485

I was wondering, she was the most well-received heroine/route of TsukiKana to begin with, right?

>まし

まし means "better, but still not that good". That doesn't seem to be what you want to say. This is why you shouldn't just blindly repeat words you see somewhere.
