/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Rolled in.

I thought this was a porn game for adults, but apparently they think their audience is illiterate.

>>24696393
They are prpbably just looking out for the teenager audience. Assuming that everyone waits until their eighteenth birthday to check out smut is rather naive.

>>24696473
Looking out for an audience that can't legally purchase your produce is a great business decision. If only they'd look out more for their pirate audience as well.

>>24697314
>produce
God damn it.

Is Kazuki Fumi right about eroge not dying?

>>24697419
yes, he will save it.

>>24697314
If a couple of underages buy it, that prpbably covers the cost of adding furigana. And they do probably buy it, it's only become easier to bypass age checks these days.

>>24697706
Does it make up the lost sales from adults though? I remember plenty of japs complaining about not being able to disable the furigana back when the trial released.
It doesn't even make sense to do that unless they're targeting literal 10 year olds, the kind of teenager that would be interested in eroge should be able to read that shit pretty easily, considering most eroge already add furigana for complicated words, doing it for every single word seems stupid.

>>24697824
Just read it from parser bro, no furi there.
Stupid japs can't use parser rofl.

>>24697419
I'm not going to watch an hour half long video without Japanese subtitles. I have a hard enough time already even listening to things in English without subtitles.

>>24698092
Get rekt fucking eop

>>24697824
Nips actually complain about furigana? I don't even notice it is there most of the time.

>>24698145
I can ignore it in something like manga but with the small text boxes in that game it becomes pretty annoying to read, and it also messes up the spacing when the furigana is longer than the word.

>>24697314
>an audience that can't legally purchase your product is a great business decision
Since when has that ever stopped anyone? Did you never buy any 18+ media when you were a teenager? Apply your logic to shit like R-rated movies or music with a Parental Advisory label and you'll see how silly it is.

>>24698754
Neither of those things are illegal to sell to a minor. Most stores set their own rules that they won't sell them to minors, but it's not illegal.

>Counter-Strike NEO Edition

Stop doing this. I'm the guy who normally makes the thread and I've had a three day ban on all boards until few minutes ago, but that doesn't meant you can just waltz in with your /vg/ cancer.

>>24697419
I wonder if he knows what they're doing to his games in the translations. Or does that not matter as long as it sells?

>>24698851
Doubt he cares one bit about the EOP version. You shouldn't either, except to lol at EOPs.

>>24698786
>>24698786
Fine, let's change it to cigarettes then. Maybe you don't have any experience with this, but let me assure you -- there's no difficulty at all in people under 18 buying them. I've seen people bring this shit up multiple times about eroge, as if the 18+ stuff actually matters, and it's always struck me as incredibly naive.

>>24698906
This is something I've asked about in Japan. Seemed like it's not common for minors to be able to just get stuff like that.

And these days I see signs about 年齢確認実施中 at most stores.

>>24698897
Then what's stopping him from giving up on the clearly inferior Japanese audience and focusing on the much more profitable English and Chinese audience?

>>24698949
Knowing eroge is a Japanese industry.

>>24698851
What's wrong with broski, fucking retard-snowflake?

>>24698942
Is that the truth or something they're telling you to save face?

>>24698992
Dunno.

>>24698974
I'm still watching it, but the first half hour of the video is about how much better things are selling because of Steam and all ages version for overseas markets. It seems like it would make much more money if they just made games for those audiences.

>>24699017
Perhaps the fact that there are 18+ VNs that include furigana like this >>24696393 should give you a hint in the right direction.

>>24699029
Those audiences are fickle. Not every generic moe game can be Nekopara.

>>24699029
>selling because of Steam and all ages version
god I hope this doesn't mean all ages becomes the norm.

>>24699068
H is the cancer killing VNs.

Just finished Muramasa chapter 4. It's amazing how many reveals are crammed into what essentially boils down to one giant action sequence. Highpoints for me were Ginseigou's cheeky personality and pic related.

>>24698754
Honestly, it's pretty hard where I live. Either you know someone old enough to buy it for you, or you know a very special place. If you wanna order a physical copy of an 18+ product, the one delivering checks your ID and looks if you are old enough (and the actual recipient).

As for digital.. well. I have no idea. I know that psn bucks are in theory rated 18+, but I really don't know how much that matters in reality.

>>24699059
Maybe not, but he doesn't seem to be suggesting they have to. 9 didn't get Nekopara numbers, but he seems to be happy with what it did get, thanks to Steam.

>>24698841
Based.

All-ages and moeshit. What a deadly combination.

>>24699439
+ eops

>all these moege companies literally printing money from steam bucks while my niche fetish company is barely scraping by
It's not fair bros...

>>24698144
He's asking for Japanese subtitles though, not English subtitles. He wants to read it in Japanese.

>>24699895
This thread is for someone who knows jap already, not for some fucking newfag who can't even listen to a fucking stream

>>24699029
Would it really? People buy VNs because they are made for the Japanese audience and the people outside of it like it for that aspect. If you start catering to the Chinese, it could just have an averse reaction resulting in said audience not liking it because it misses some key element when it starts catering to them.

So, recently I've been interested in buying VN with Female Yanderes. Anyone has recommendations.

>>24699974
Chinese outnumber everyone so it doesn't matter if they alienate some people.

>>24699935
I know Japanese, I just have hearing difficulties.

I think eroge is dying mainly because the market shifts to mainly gacha stuff.
The kind of people who back then would spend money for eroge, spend it for their "waifu" in the gacha games of their choices instead.
In which could worth the same as buying multiple eroge releases a month, maybe even a week.

>>24700372
Why care about market dying if you've got hundreds of good vns?

>>24700447
>hundreds
fifty at best

>>24700842
Your problem with too high requirements

>>24700447
To be fair I didn't really play much in the past 3 years too
Though I'm glad at least ωstar gets to release the final title in the series before the industry keeps dying even further

>>24701073
I heard last title is pretty shit.

>>24701105
Only Moyokafags complain about it, it's good and warps up the series nicely.

>>24701137
Can't say anything yet, i'm struggling with biman 3, it seems kinda boring to me.

Hello I just watched yosuga no sora, it was pretty shit but the incest arc was amazing, I was wondering are there any really good incest eroge or good eroge with incest routes?
Preferably where the main route is the incest route or the best girl is the little sister.

Thank you.

I think that Saihate no Ima is a goldmine of wisdom and value. But like a real goldmine, you have to dig through a lot of rock to get the gold, and it's not always a pleasant process. For me, though, the gold was worth it in the end. Tanaka Romeo is a god, confirmed.

>>24703185
I think that Saihate no Ima is essentially a worse Infinite Jest with weeb art.

>>24703185
I just want writers to make entertaining and engaging work, and themes are just like raw materials for that purpose. I don't fucking care about gaining wisdom from VNs. I read books for that.

>>24703652
>entertaining and engaging work
So, like Saihate no Ima?

>>24703701
Nice joke

>>24703715
Speaking of jokes, it's legitimately one of the funniest games I've ever played. Romeo's sense of humor keeps loftier ideas feeling fun and human.

What's the plot of ima even like? Is it like lain?

>>24704108
It wishes it was like lain in that regard.

>>24703998
I wouldn't call her a loli but being being a JC does maker pretty good for an onee-san.
>>24704047
I remember a scene where you stick a suppository up her ass but I can't remember if it leads to actually anal sex.

>>24704047

Do they even check ID's in Japan? A couple years back I was 17 when I went to Akihabara and bought hundreds of dollars worth of doujinshi and never got ID'd, I chalked it up to being a foreigner but when I went the following year at 18, I got ID'd once out of about 30 purchases, I don't think the staff really give many fucks.

>>24707825
Last time I tried it didn't work for whatever reason, and I haven't tried since. But thanks, no idea what was wrong, but it sure as hell works now!

徳田くん！？

>>24707213
Yeah, I have it on my external HDD.

>>24708545
Back when I was underage I did get ID'd. I figured its cause I'm Japanese american. I pretended to not understand Japanese and they pulled a fucking laminated card explaining in english. I figured out that mandarake didn't ID me and give a fuck so I just went there instead of animate.

Funny that they don't ID you for alcohol but do for hentai

>>24701719
Never heard about that one, anon? Care to explain a bit?

>>24699439
And episodic.
Fucking hate episodic release.

>>24709528
Lol, you got dabbed on.

The closest what happened to me was when I was getting my phone contract and the girl started explaining some limits it'll have for people under 20. So I just told her I'm 27.

>>24706419
To be a little less snarky, if you liked one, you'd probably like the other. I found the book to be fairly similar to the game in a lot of ways, and what I enjoyed about the game was also present in the book.
I wouldn't say I liked either as a whole, but that were mainly for different reasons. I disliked the book more because of constantly annoying quirks with how the narration was written.
The game more bothered me with the overall content of the third part (I've never been a fan of that sort of genre), how the second part of the game ended up just being annoying, and then lots of small issues I had with how some of the concepts presented in blog entries were interpreted and used. That last one I mostly blame on specific professors I had in college and the sort of pseudo autism that prevents me from enjoying things like scifi, so it doesn't really count.
That said, Sayaka's first route was great. I'm not a fan of Romeo's stuff in general, but I thoroughly enjoyed that part of the game.

>>24712580
Also, after going through my old screenshots, the art was pretty fucking terrible.

Any eroge with a dom loli that you fuck?

>>24712956
Natsukuru?

>>24713184
If someone asks for an eroge in regards to ero, at least recommend a nukige.
Though that anon could just use freakin' vndb. This isn't rare.

>>24714938
It's Sakura no Uta.
The name is in the image title.
Even if it wasn't, reverse searching the image should be easy.
Learn to do that.

>>24714742
I'm not reading those, but that'd be sad. Natsukuru's ero isn't particularily great.
Regardless, even if it would be, there's too much other stuff.

Can you guys help me out.

From what I know, incest is legal in japan however from what I've seen in stories in eroge, anime and manga is that it seems to be illegal. I remember seeing stories where the couple in japan had to move to another country to get married.

Why is this?
Is incest actually against the law in japan or is just the world in the media against it?

>>24715457
Thanks, I tried looking the filename up and it didn't occur to me that that it could be sakura no uta.

>>24716039
First cousin marriage is legal in japan but frowned upon. It's common in manga and vns because they are made by fetishising otaku who don't care how wider society views them. Yosuga no Sora, which depicts brother/sister incest and aired on tv, was allowed to do so explicitly because it was perceived as showing that such a relationship was a negative one, undesirable, and shouldn't be emulated. Yet lots of filthy disgusting weebs and otaku praise it as a love story and credit it for creating their incest fetish. Because they do not represent wider japanese society.

>>24716477
The world needs more masterpieces like Yosuga no Sora.

>>24716477
Wait so is all incest legal?

>>24716958
No. First cousin is the closest relation that is legal.

>>24716477
>First cousin marriage is legal in japan but frowned upon
I thought they were just indifferent to it.

>>24716477
Laws against incest are fucking disgusting in a so-called free society, future generations will look back on us in the same way we look back on countries that executed people for being homosexual

>>24717152
yes, in your original answer, but in the 2nd one the implication is that all forms of incest are illegal

>>24717230
But laws against incest are in place because of older generations.

>>24717247
*except for first cousin relations of course

>>24717020
No, there's definitely a stigma. Not as much as direct relations of course but first cousins who marry tend to not advertise that fact too much.
>>24717247
>>24717292
I didn't specify since I was continuing my post, but you're right that it may have seemed that way. My apologies for any misunderstanding.

Maybe it's time to finally change the OP to make it clear that "untranslated" has nothing to do with the existence of a translation, and instead means reading in the original language.

>>24736915

Take it to >>>/jp/hgg or /vg/.

It's a thread for people who read vns in japanese, not in google translate gibberish. There's another general on this fucking board for that kind of shit, go there.

It's likely just one guy, probably from some Discord. Too stupid to learn Japanese. Really ugly specimen. Makes me sick to just think about.

>>24737590
Using machine translation actually cultivates a superior form of reading where you constantly have to use your imagination while thinking about multiple possibilites of meaning and developing a high contextual awareness, questioning every word and seeing every sentence as multiple possible sentences, composing your own story simultaneously to fill in the gaps and calculating uncertainties while contemplating the nature of ambiguity. Readers of Japanese just passively access memorised and thus already stagnant data, while MTL readers actively engage with the text on a much more fundamental level, being intellectually more in tune with the writer's intention and the truth of the text.

>>24737806
By talking and replying to the stupid twitter/discord posts? You should report the fuck out of this shit instead.

>>24739403
I read about 20 times faster than most of the rest of you - with the exception of a few bibliophiles. What is a true chore, taking up tens of hours for you, might very well only be a short eight to ten hours for me. Reading that fast - whether in English or Japanese - gives me a greatly different perspective than a lot of the others here.
My stamina for reading in general and reading VNs in particular is far higher than the rest of you. Fundamentally, the idea of breaking a VN up over the course of weeks or months is alien to me, since even the longest ones will only take me about thirty hours (even in a busy week, I can usually manage to squeeze that in during breaks and meals).
Because VNs aren't drawn out for me, I don't suffer through the slice of life and daily scenes like some of you do. I can sit back and enjoy what I'm reading without feeling any stress whatsoever from the reading itself, as long as the VN isn't too bad. In addition, even scenes too difficult to read for the average VN-player are relatively simple for me to read, so i don't get significantly stressed out by that factor either.
One of the reasons people tend to get tired of VNs is a lack of stimulation due to low reading speed. I read fast enough that a good VN's stimulation will be close to constant, whereas a slow reader will sometimes come to feel 'in-between' scenes that are meant to be short and informative as painful and long.
The act of reading in itself can bring me something close to sexual pleasure if what I'm reading is interesting. The reason I like chuunige is because to me, the stimulation from a good chuunige is actually better than sex. There is always something going on and that something is usually meant to shake up the emotions or engage the intellect. Since, for me, reading something like this really does give me so much pleasure, I can honestly say that concerns about length don't bother me at all, lol.

Hello everyone... haha. Just your local DISCORD ADMIN walking through.. yep. You read it right. I am admin of actually 2 servers! And mod in a bunch... so many I can’t keep track anymore :joy: anyways... just came to say hi. And warn you gentlemen to hide your egirls!!!! They love guys like me. Kidding!! Lol. Don’t get MALD bro lol. Hahaha.. anyways. I see you guys have some admins and mods already..? Lol. I’m sure they are doing a GREAT job... obviously not as great as I could?.. I mean, I know I just joined but please consider.. I’ve got a clean track record.. everyone loves me. I am a gamer too. And no, don’t worry, I am NOT a simp. I’ve banned people for saying that... anyways, got some Member list purging to do,,,, catch you guys later :laughing:

this place is becoming such a shit hole.

>>24739553
and the industry is slowly dying, literally no hope

>>24739553
It just needs some moderation. It's clearly one person who keeps shitting the place up.

>>24700098
What’s the appeal of Yandere female characters.

>>24739839
So you can get off to crazy without having to suffer the real world consequences of dealing with insane women.

Guess how many new posts were waiting for me in this thread when I woke up today?

>>24739867
I mean they aren’t even good yandere VN.

>>24739699
Y-yes b-bro!
We need to stay STRONG!
After all, we are ELITE

>>24739919
Oh yeah, that I'm not an expert on. I would be curious if someone knew some more titles though.

>>24700098
Are you looking for a game where the main focus is all the heroines being yandare/ all the heroines are yandare, or just perhaps a game where just one heroine is a yandare? The former tend to be pretty bad

Is there any required reading list for sakura no uta, like for subahibi?

>>24740705
You need to know about the life and works of Miyazawa Kenji and the history of Western art, at a bare minimum.

>>24740705
You don't really need any required reading for Subahibi

>>24740835
Fuck that, I'm just going to dive right in.

>>24740877
You do if you actually want to understand anything about it. To put it very simply, SCA-Ji is far more intelligent than anyone reading this thread, including myself. There are a great deal of very high level concepts in SubaHibi and any aspiring reader is going to need to accept that he probably doesn’t understand it all. From there, you reach the point of actually researching and interpreting all this shit, which could take years, honestly. And then you also have to consider that the vast majority of people just don’t have the level of reading comprehension or education necessary to really start to approach interpreting and understanding SubaHibi on anything but a surface level.

>>24740924
I liked the part where the girl gets fucked by a dog.

>>24740924
Well, what does understanding something mean? Yes, I could read more about Wittgenstein, or actually read Wittgenstein, trace all the literary references and read Cyrano de Bergerac. Is that really necessary to understand the substance of the novel? Not really. It does a pretty good job in presenting all the concepts. The rest is more a question of how you think about it rather than what you already know. It depends more on how you actively engage with its content than acquiring some level of preexisting knowledge.

>>24740835
> history of Western art
I heard vn itself contains decent amount of art related infodumps, it's not enough?

>>24740835
I read Amegure, is that enough?

Jesus fuck, I'm just gonna stop making this thread even when I'm not banned. Fuck you, you ugly, fat, third-world EOP subhumans.

Instead I'm gonna play my games in peace.

It’s a shame since these threads used to be pretty good back in the day, but I guess most of the good posters just moved to discord or twitter

The whole board is going to shit because of /v/ invaders from the Vtuber threads.

>>24745300
Not that guy but if you look at this thread and still think this is somehow superior, I don't know what to tell you...

>>24745793
I didn't say that but both services are cesspools.

>>24745793
Why are you still here if those places are better?

>>24745267
Back in the day, /jp/ moderation was severe af. One off-topic post meant 24h ban minimum.

>>24745849
I'm in both. I've been here for years now though. Hard habit to break I guess? And there are occasionally good posts about things I wouldn't have discovered otherwise.

>>24745828
On the whole, hard to disagree, but at least you can curate them to posters you like.
And no, I don't mean this "cartel" you people always talk about.

>>24746041
Discord is botnet garbage and also complete cancer. I will never concede on that one. To be fair, Japanese twitter is relatively OK (but not very interesting), but if that's your thing I won't criticize too much. English twitter is irredeemable though.

Based NekoNeko pandering to gaijin audience.

Those posters are still here, but they don't post very often because this is /jp/. Meanwhile the /vg/ and /v/ rejects treat this place like their boards and constantly spam their retarded opinions.

>>24747241
It might actually be pretty cute to hear a seiyuu horribly mangle 'elder brother' in English.

>>24748242
and who decided what opinion is retarded?
you? lol
maybe you're the retarded one here

Honestly I never liked reading VN reviews posted here and I would always hide them. I like to read my VNs in a fresh mindset without any preconceptions.

>>24751535
Do you read vndb/egs summaries or tags or just go in 100% blind based on artwork?

>>24751545
Not him, but I almost always go into games blind based mostly on who worked on it and partially on the art. Otherwise, the beginnings usually end up feeling completely pointless.

>>24751560
Not even the description?

>>24751584
Even them. Same goes for movies and books.

>>24751560
>>24751604
Sounds nice in theory, but you'd probably end up wasting your time reading/watching a lot of absolute shit. Which is fine for a 2 hour movie but not for a 50 hour VN.

>>24751621
I also download trials first and those are usually a good indicator of whether I'll enjoy something before I make a huge commitment. I have no problem with dropping a game within a couple hours if I don't like it.

>>24751560
>partially on the art
It's actually kind of impressive how much sample CGs manage to spoil sometimes. I read descriptions/light reviews, but I try to stay away from peeking at the art.

I just open nyaa, sort by most seeded, align my cursor with the magnet button, close my eyes, and mash click and scroll down, and I read what I read.

>>24751708
a true man of culture

>>24751512
It was a friendly hint that nobody is caring about you, and it's obvious that it's one idiot who does this shit here. Your posts get hidden. If there'd be a mod here you'd not be here anymore.

I figured you'd eventually understand. It's been some time now, and nothing changed, so I spelled it out for you. Just once. Because even dumb people not being able to learn on their own deserve one chance. Take it or fuck off. It's better for you and everyone involved.

>>24751545
I pick games based on art, summary, company, writers, and voice actors like any other normal person I guess? However, sometimes I'll play a game based on the art alone and ignore everything else. Sometimes just because the writer is a familiar name and I liked his/her previous works. It's not so much as me wanting to go into reading something with no information about it beforehand, but about not wanting the preconceived notion that something is good or bad.

>>24751545
I select very carefully, on all bases, what I want to read. And then, within all this backlog (about 700 tagged works), choose what I feel like at the spur of the moment. That feeling kind of depends of what I've read previously, but there's no doubt a random component, plus the new works that are released and that catch my eyes more easily.

She's so perfect bros.

>>24733458
I've only read like 2-3 games with her in it with the last game being over 2 years ago, but I still remember her voice so clearly...

>>24752468
Well she probably used the exact same voice in those 3 games so it makes sense you'd remember, I like her but she has like no range.

>>24751821
You have no power here.
You shall fear strength.

H-How did they know?

Anyone here been able to get この青空に約束を from the GIGA Royal Sweet Collection to run? I've tried both AlphaRomDie and the cracker, neither works (nothing happens when I try to run the game). Other games in from the collection run fine with the cracker.

>>24756350
Buy it.

>>24756728

>>24756350
some nexas games take 20 years to start when cracked with it, i would recommend finding an old version and cracking it with a crack from the x64 exe pack, since even if the new version does start it might just crash on the first scene as it did for me

>>24752626

I like her eroge trial let's plays

I wonder what Mizuno does with all these h-audio, just masturbate all day or are actually entertaining to listen on their own?

>>24758200

loads them onto her husband's phone so he's ready to fuck once back from work

>>24758043
Do many other seiyuu do this?

>>24758293
>her husband's
But she's married to eroge.

>>24758339
Ayumi Sarah played the trial for Amakano 2 on Azarashi Soft's channel, and Tamiyasu Tomoe did Grisaia's Makina route in her vtuber channel.
I can't think of any other recent examples so I don't believe it's very common.

>>24758356

I recall seeing a post of someone claiming she got married to flesh and blood in 2019.

>>24758003

pirating a console version seems way easier than all that shit

vita release can be easily pirated and played if you have one

>>24758356
>>24758637
She married me.

>>24758003
Really? How long are we talking here? Because I waited a few minutes to no avail, and also nothing showed up in task manager.

>>24758720
Yeah, I might just do that if I can't get this version to work.

>>24758356

lmao where is this from? her twitter?

>>24758950
Yes

>>24759102
Now this is based.

>>24759102

holy shit dare i say Mizuno Nanami is our girl?

>>24758720
You can't hook console versions.

>>24758200
I downloaded some H-audio a few years ago and came buckets but then I didn't download any more, I wonder why. I guess it's tiring to download new stuff every time. But if I were a sarariiman coming home overworked I would probably rather listen to H-audio while jerking off than bother with nukige

>>24758925
Did you try to open it a few times? Were there any error messages?

>>24760758

>I guess it's tiring to download new stuff every time

some are enormous too. a 1h30m ASMR pacopaco is like 4gb these days. my dlsite slut folder is like 400gb already

>>24761568
yeah, I'd be fine with inferior sound quality on my porn sound files but it's just lossless files everywhere

>>24762037

>ok with getting your dick sucked in compressed mp3

>>24762240
I don't think eroge have uncompressed audio, either

>>24762407

that's a problem too

>>24762240
>compressed mp3
Hell no, ogg or go home.

>>24740350
The latter please.

>>24751604
Nice. I should probably into games more blind. I don't read any reviews/summaries or anything like that but usually I know something vague beforehand like "this is about robots" or whatever.

Anyone here has a working crack for Jingai Makyou?

Preferably the Windows 10 version from 2017.

I am still reading Harem Kingdom, fuck bros, I didn't have this much fun with eroge in years, the game is fast paced, the comedy and gags are great, the girls are cute and the H scenes are hot.

This is my first Smee game, can't wait to finish this and play some of their older stuff like Making lovers

>>24765150

harem kingdom sucks. just drop it and play making lovers

>>24765051
What will you do when noone replies to your bait? I know you're a repulsive American swine in real life, so you need to bother people at least here, but what will you do when everyone learns to ignore you?

>>24765557
In my experience pretty much all of the SMEE titles I've played, from Loverable to Making Lovers, had similar levels of quality and the same feel in general. If you liked one of them you'll most likely enjoy all of them.

>>24765798
Got it, thanks

>>24765430
fucking cuck who cannot stand harems ayyyy rofl what a simp go die

>>24758043
And it goes together with the promotion of adult goods for that game, starring the seyuu themselves. They got an actual radio show, half hour weekly, for that promotion, where they talk about how good and well done are the onaholes, giving every little detail about them. They even made a handshake event with the onaholes (the clients put their finger in the ona while the seyuu is holding it).

>>24765430
That's the problem with Harem Kingdom. One of the most fun games by smee but harem deniers cannot keep quiet about it.

>>24767261
is the future of eroge selling onaholes for eachheroine with the game so you can experience fucking them during the hscenes?

>>24767313
It's the present for many years already. Even further, some games come with the interface to connect the onahole to the computer.

>>24767313

regardless of the eroge product placement, i'd buy an onahole of >>24759102 >>24758356

>>24765150
Harem Kingdom's great, but in many ways it's a direct response to people's complaints about Making*Lovers (i.e. compensating for lack of cast interaction in M*L with almost the whole game being cast interaction in HK). So whether you'll like it more or less depends on what you enjoyed out of HK.
>>24767313
Custom Maid has a $200 onahole that you can hook up to the computer that will imitate whatever the girl on screen is doing.

>>24767503
>$200 onahole that you can hook up to the computer that will imitate whatever the girl on screen is doing.

Where can I buy this?

>>24767560
I don't think it works with any other games except custom maid, though.

I'm looking for members to translate this to English with me. I need a programmer who can use existing tools and modify them to work with uRGP, preferably someone who's familiar with hacking other VNs. Other people who want to come onboard as translators are welcome

>>24764922
It's asking for access......

This is really not the thread to ask for that, people here are (mostly) content reading in japanese and do not care if things get translated. Try /djt/.

>>24764922
give access you,giga nigga

>>24770408
Why the fuck are you attempting to fan-TL a game that has an official translation announced? That's a terrible idea.

why do you people continuously reply to obvious bait

It's the guy replying to himself.

Don’t they only make lolige? I’ll pass on that

And no, they alternate lolige and something else between releases.

>>24789502

>>24789672
All elf games

>>24791347
I've played a ton of eroge but Elf games are a weird blind spot for me. I've somehow never played a single one, despite their incredible reputation. Any game in particular you'd recommend?
I'd even be interested in non-PC98 recommendations in this case.

>>24791415
Shuusaku, Isaku, Kisaku, Doukyuusei 1
Kakyuusei 1 & 2, (first ntr-ge actually), and the best game of them all:

https://vndb.org/v2361

>>24791499
>https://vndb.org/v2361
That was pretty interesting. Mostly in the sense of how much effort they put into these games back then, yet how amateur and cheap the writing and storytelling was.

Outside of a history lesson I'd not recommend that though. Or, well, if you like that general style these old games have.

>>24791499
>https://vndb.org/v2361
Do you have to read the prequel first? And is that one any good?

>>24791808
The first one is really bad in comparison but it introduces you to the premise.

>>24791499
>https://vndb.org/v2361
>has malware in order to prevent piracy
There's another eroge/company who did the same shit but it would dox you and put your details on a website to shame you iirc. Unless that was a fever dream by me or some shit.
