Well, perusing the script on tlwiki there's a fair number of "what would you like my hair to look like?" choices, but there's an element of randomness to it. The game is pretty much set so the girl decides her own hair and the player just suggests general directions (longer, shorter, cute, sexy, etc).

For reference, eroge usually get very roughly 20k sales to be considered a success. Only AAA big name studios like Leaf or August ever break 100k.

Love Plus sold 48,000. In three days.

For a dating sim, that's fucking insane. I have no doubt some company is going to try and make a game similar to it on some other platform in an attempt to emulate its success.

Part of the reason love Plus works is 2D backgrounds meaning everything can by focused on the girl. The only eroge to do this was Time Leap, which both used prerendered h-scenes, and used a horrifically bad engine (and low res eyerape backgrounds for no fucking reason).

I wish something on PC would use cell-shaded graphics for the characters and high res 2D pictures for backgrounds, along with a decent engine. The effect would look amazingly good.

Recommending No$Zoomer for this after just trying it out.

http://www.mediafire.com/?djgmznmd0mz

A lot more filtering options to make the game look better, lots more resolution options, more reliable picking up of the mic, etc. Finally managed to make it get rid of that annoying stuttering to their voices that was just slightly noticable in normal No$Gba.

Any tips on getting the mic functional?

If it doesn't work on No$zoomer, try a different emulator.

You might be stuffed though. Emulators seem really hit or miss with detecting mics.

I've tried playing this, but I clearly do not know enough kanji/vocabulary to understand more than maybe ~1/3 to half of the text. How do you guys manage to do it?

Same guy, I forgot to mention that I have a year's worth of uni Japanese classes under my belt. I still feel like I need ATLAS to play... but there's no voices for me to type out the kanji to translate nor is there (as far as I know) a way to get AGTH to extract the text to translate.

There is a mediafire link on the tlwiki with the dialogue scripts in text files. What you can then do is search all of them for portions of a phrase you see (like the hiragana). I use notepad++ to search using the "Find in files".

Then you can feed the text into whatever you want.

Also only search for text on a single line, the lines in game are separated by newlines.

a year means you can read at the level of a first grader, probably. Tell us your JLPT certification instead.

None. I was hoping to be able to read a fair bit more of it. Oh well.
