>mc is drinking and horny
simply epic
This hurts more than moege since this is technically way easier to get yet impossible all the same.

Who makes better games? BISHOP or SQUEEZ/Milk Factory?

>>42804950
They both make the same game over and over so it entirely depends which one appeals to your personal fetishes more.

>>42804805
What game is that line from? Is it NTR?

>>42804960
Yes

>>42804960
If protagonist drinks and thinks about ordering whores, you could be almost certain it's not a moege. And if it's not a moege, you could be almost certain that there'll be NTR, rapes, tentacles, damaged goods, or other such disgusting things.

>>42804994

Sounds great, I'm in.

>>42801096
>Is muv luv in this tier?
Bump.

>>42805882
if you don't shed manly tears at least once during alternative you unironically don't have a soul

>>42805930
not chuuni though

>>42806912
Muvluv combat is better than any chuuni because it feels actually realistic and makes you care about what's going on instead of just waiting for chuuni deux ex machine magic unlimate out of nowhere
Man I wish there were any other games that actually make you feel fucking despair toward enemies

>>42806991
Extra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alternative > Unlimited

At least the food battles were fun.

>>42807428
Why the fuck did they put there this piece of pop shit lol hope at least the music in the game is better than this

>muv luv combat is actually realistic

>>42807428
Whoever thought it was a good idea to put this piece of shit disgusting club song as an opening should be thrown as food to BETA or better just shot by a firing squad.

>>42807493

the composer is the same

>>42805930
tears at how annoying takeru was yeah

>>42807614
Who are you quoting?

>>42805882
I would say that all the heavy military + scifi stuff is also chuuni at its core.

>>42808439
I liked the " retarded zoomer get thrown into pre-ww2 empire of Japan where even women are manlier than him" feels but yeah it get stale after a while when even after having supposedly grown up he's still a crybaby

>>42808439
>>42808622
muv luv alternative is a 説教 game where the guy never gets it or is never given an opportunity to demonstrate he gets it, your choice

>>42807614
That gif is me when i was reading tomoyo after

>>42807524
I had forgotten about this. The original teaser they put out looked cool, so it's funny to see the actual result. Teaser video if you forgot it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRowFq-Z15s

>>42808622
>zoomer
He is at most a millennial you fuckwit.

Muv-Luv Alternative is my favorite VN adaptation of the Starship Troopers movie.

>>42808622
If that wasn't the case it would just become generic isekai garbage.

>>42808691
The people responsible for the mecha animations were actually fans of the series and it shows. The others just didn't give a shit

>>42808439

Himawari and Island are both great.

>>42809228
>Island
>great

>>42809249
Yes

>>42809249
The complaints I've read about it are retarded.

>>42809373
It's an all-ages NTR game. There is no way for that not to be retarded.

>>42809373
>The complaints
You mean the absurd amount of red herrings and the dumbest twist I've ever seen?

>>42809606
>>42809659
Proving my point

>>42809745
How is the writing not super contrived?

>>42809756
What exactly are you referring to? If you're the retard talking about NTR I'm not going to bother.

>>42807524
I actually kind of like that song. Also the art of Miki drying her hair is cute. She was my favorite Muv-Luv heroine (followed by Chizuru). I'll never watch this anime, though.

Any work like Tryment/Re:LieF?
Something with similar themes about new beginnings, second chances, new encounters, reliving youth etc
Or any good Seishun work really
It’s start of spring and always get nostalgic at this time of year

>>42801064

Is he based?

Reika's great and all but no way is she getting anything for Sakuoto, she's got too much baggage with that disgusting NEET son of hers

>>42811308
>that disgusting NEET
He's literally me except I'm not filthy rich

>>42811313
you're also a fat manlet?

Do hags really?

I heard that the light novel that Sakutoki came out with had Riruru and Takuji
Is that actually true? If so what's Scaji's problem

>>42811425
Has that been uploaded anywhere? I wanted to read it

man sakutoki really doesnt have the same atmosphere i loved in uta

I hate it so much. This genre has untapped potential and it never gets freaking used.

give me something to read

Can anyone provide names for these VNs?

Not sure if some are translated since I scraped these from 2ch.

>>42812539
めんどくさい

>>42812539
Those are literally all gacha/raising sims.

>>42812539
they're all gacha games and i won't tell you what they're called

Remember to fill Astronauts Sirius' Tokuiten 3 survey and demand more pubes in their next games

give me anal games that aren't pure nukige, or at least a game with an anal heroine

>>42812695
https://vndb.org/s2768

>>42812695
https://vndb.org/v9198

Remember let's be more like /jav/?

how hard of a read is tsui no sora remake? I'm still learning but I've been going through the first tokeijikake no ley line game pretty smoothly

>Read Triangle's Final Ignition
>Frankly it starts up quite boring
>Then extreme Keel suffering (finally)
>Then Azrael from Blazblue appears and starts tearing everyone a new one by casting fist
Not sure about its value as a nukige, but it made me wish for a battle between Lucifer Rena and the red fatso. And it overall felt like the developers actually tried, which is more that can be said of thing of all those VNs that introduced more magic knights during the last 5 years or so.

>>42812899
not as easy as leyline

>>42812899
You need to read Subahibi before reading Tsui no Sora remake imo, you appreciate some scenes more and others makes more sense.

>>42813934
I figured that much, but still easy enough for a relative beginner?
>>42813958
I've played it in english when it was released. I would like to reread in jap but I'm not at that reading level yet

https://twitter.com/SCA_DI/status/1631757605738799104?s=20

Barely saved, and in debt.

>>42813989
If you read Subahibi, even in English, I'd say you could read Tsui no Sora relatively fine, I mean some scenes are just copy paste, and you have enough context to figure things out. I'd give it a try, the game isn't even long.

>>42814195
Is the remake better than the original?

>>42814310
Remakes by definition are always inferior to the original.

>>42814319
Maybe that's the case with western remakes but not so much when it comes to eroge, there's definitely some good remakes of older stuff that are good thanks to the added voices, HD art, additional endings, etc...

>>42814310
To the original Tsui no Sora? Yes, by a mile. The Tsui no Sora remake comes with the original game too btw, you can see how dated it is.

>>42812570
Pubes are disgusting, so no.

>>42812899
>>42813989
I'm a dekinai retard, and even then I managed to follow along relatively easily when I'd first read it. Ayana's occasional long-winded ranting is about as difficult as it gets.

>chapter IV in general
>how it flows into the ending song
>it's basically a whole new song
>the actual meaning of its lyrics
Ok, sca-ji, this was actual kamige stuff, had this been in the original sakuuta I would have actually felt something at its chapter V.

Should I reread Uta before Toki?

It's been seven years after all.

>>42817066
Yeah but you can be selective about it, just chapters 1, 2, shizuku's route, 4 5 and 6

>>42817105
Makoto's route isn't needed?

Going slowly through Saku Uta. Before I saw tons of people say it "picks up" at chapter IV. Surprise, I get to it and it's fucking NTR. Needless to say I skipped most of the chapter after that, but I have a really bad taste in my mouth right now, and I don't even feel like reading V anymore. Is it actually good or is it good for cartel cucks?

>>42817118
If you want to do a full re-read you can, I won't say it's not needed since characters who appear in that route alone have a bigger role in Toki
Seven years is a long time so you probably did forget the smaller details

>>42817150
This is why I consider all you Americans non-white.

>>42817200
I am not an am*rican. But go ahead and say this is not the biggest garbage on this planet, which plagues every """kamige""".

>>42817227

>>42817227
Oh and not to mention all that talk about how 草薙家は一途だ, while he'd banged Saki-chang and let her go (cucked twice by the same guy, how pathetic can you get). Kenichirou is such a terrible character, holy shit.

god I hate ntr
dropped Ulysse and monte cristo because of this too
I can only read moege because I'm scared of the cruel real world

is all this talk about blood and families and lineage supposed to be quaint and ridiculous? cause that's how it all reads to me
i guess that's cultural context for ya

sure wonder what happened to this
what happened in sakutoki, now that's NTR

>>42817725
Yes, the nakamuras are extremely, extremely archaic in regards to blood purity and stuff due to the hakuji legend.

Has moogy-dono the yurifag stated his feelings on Sakutoki yet?

>>42819165
Please stop shilling shitty translators.

Kenichirou is weird because i think scaji wants him to be really cool but I can't get over how he married one of his students. I know its eroge and all but guy just comes off as a creep to me kek. But considering the amount of teachers in my high school that got arrested for fucking their students maybe scaji was onto something.

>text hook for sakutoki dropped
>jp finally starts talking about the game
What a surprise

>>42819380
we've been talking about it for the past three threads

>>42819391
You mean a few posts by people who looked at the cgs

>>42817227
>>42817260
sca-ji literally just can't resist
he was probably begging them to let a heroine do this instead

>Heroine with Sexual Experience 2.0
>Only Virgin Heroines 0.7
Sakuutasisters?

>>42819360
>he married one of his students
but that's based?

>>42819500
>sakutoki
>100% virgin heroines (one of them almost pushing 30 and another 40)

>>42819514
was she used goods?

If used goods are good enough for Kenchadchirou then they're good enough for you

>>42819554
>used goods jk
vs
>pure and pristine 35 year old lolibaba
The choice is clear for who had the better taste.

>>42819360
Only Sca-Ji could present a cuckold and tell you he's supposed to be cool.

>>42819456
How is she not a heroine? She's literally the heroine of chapter 4.

>>42819550
Yes, she was literally a sex slave to the guy who married Kenichirou's college girlfriend.

>>42819602
then that's very much not based to an unspeakable degree

>>42819613
It's based.
I need more VNs where you can save a cute prostitute

>>42819623
considering you're admitting you're a cuck, it's pretty safe to assume whatever you say is based is actually very cringe

>this thread
Well, it's refreshing to know that I will absolutely never read any of the Sakura no games.

Kana truly is great, best side girl of this series by a country mile. I love her.

>>42819879
He had it coming

>Makoto gets a second route that's 50% regurgitated shit from chapter one
>Kana still doesn't get a route
SCA-Ji is a hack.

>>42819936
>50% regurgitated shit from chapter one
You mean it gives a closure to chapter one? Because even if it's not relevant to the rest of what follows it kind of needed one.

>>42819924
I actually liked him in chapter 4 because it depicts pretty well how different your average adult deals with kids. He's super nice and helpful there.

>>42819971
I liked him as well during that chapter but after Kei's death, he comes off as deranged and pretentious, especially when he tries to retell the same story to Kana that he did to Naoya to no effect

>rin and rina spend ten years of their lives dedicating it to art so that naoya might come back
>kei dedicates all of his life into producing a piece that will surpass naoya and hopes it'll inspire him to come back and go further as an artist
>the only reason he's back is because of debt
ridiculous

>>42819962
I feel like it had a lot of repeated stuff

>>42820002
Normal human being with normal human being issues. Ai's life being on the line is more inspiring than extremely roundabout ways that he REALLY doesn't appreciate for reasons he tells Ai.

>>42820043
I get it. Naoya himself doesn't see art as the only thing that defines him, and for the most part if i'm not retarded he's supposed to be something of a parallel to Dickinson, i.e a genius who isn't eager to share his work with the world and is willing to let others take credit for it.
Just feels like Rin and Rina really wasted their time and were overall irrelevant in the grand scheme of things

>>42820086
Pretty much the guy is extremely content being a normal teacher with some issues regarding Kei and stuff. Rin and Rina keep trying to get him to paint again and all he wants is a person like Ai telling him it's ok to be the way he is.
Naoya really doesn't give a shit about the spirit of art or whatever, he started painting to make money for his mom and the moment she died he painted something for her and stopped
He really only paints for other people, never for himself, for art or whatever.

https://youtu.be/pnvVcKQSZGg
new amakano op

>>42820002
Naoya believes in the weak "god", the beauty in the mundane, a god that will not judge or try to push boundaries but that will be there for you at all time and accept you for what you are

Rin and Rina believe in the strong god, the idea of an ideal beauty, something to strive for, the universal beauty, a summit you have to bet you soul to reach

Rin and Rina tried to use that idea of a strong god to get Naoya to paint again, thinking they had to reach the heaven/Kei to bring him at that level and fulfill their promise, but what Naoya really was nothing more than the weak god, someone who could stay by his side and accept his weakness, that's Ai. Well yeah you could see it as both Rin and Rina failing to really understand Naoya, that's why they can't be heroines in Toki

It's really weird to see Rina become an artist who's works place a lot of emphasis on the theme of death what with the whole turning zypressen into sakura thing and getting her to stop fixating on death

>>42820414
Even in uta Naoya kept saying her drawings were really death/moon related iirc. She draws a lot from that motif.

>>42820443
Must have forgotten that detail, my bad

>>42808668
i thought it was really good, at the end of Clannad all i wanted was to spend more time with Tomoyo, and i got just that, maybe i have bad taste or something but it was a great experience and made me realize that i was wasting my life.
Also i want a Kotomi after.

damn rina got btfo'd by kana, i just embarrassed the silliness of situation but that bgm is needlessly hype

>>42819380
If it makes you feel better even with texthook i wont play that pseudo-intellectual garbage desu.

>>42820246
>Marriage
>Mc has a face in at least one CG with the heroines
Looking good
Let's hope they didn't throw away the kids plotline

>>42820999
>implying this whole scene wasn't asbolutely hype in general

>>42821117
i'm just not a fan of the shounen development of having an art tournament consisting of 1v1 art battles in front of a live audience. i know it's something scaji does from time to time but it's a far cry from the type of atmosphere i enjoy from his works. i think chapter v so far is a huge miss for me, but i did mostly enjoy everything before, especially chapter iv

>>42819936
Makoto was literally like another heroine in toki, which I regret cuz I really liked her in uta (not talking about the route plot, because the plot in toki was much better)

Imagine registering an account just for this.

Man Kana really should have been the true heroine instead of Ai
She stole the show

>>42820336
Rin is right and Naoya is just a pussy. Unfortunately since scaji doesnt agree with her she will never be an actual character though.

Alright fine I'll read a sca-ji game for the first time
where do I start

>>42822575
an estrogen prescription

>>42822581
Done, what's step 2.

>>42822575
start with sakutoki since i'm curious what it reads like for someone who never played uta

>>42822586
Isn't that a direct sequel to subahibi? Shouldn't I read that first.

>>42822729
lmao

>>42823168
I wasn't joking but I looked it up and saw that it's actually a sequel to a different sca-ji game that's related to subahibi. I said I haven't read his games.

>>42823188
There's Subahibi
Sakura no Uta is like a spiritual successor type of deal but isn't related story wise.
Sakura no Toki is a sequel of sorts to Sakura no Uta
If you want to start something you'd start with Subahibi or the Sakurano series

>>42823205
can I actually start with sakutoki or was anon just memeing?

>>42823245
he was memeing, it's literally a sequel and spoils the previous game

>>42804181
I wanna kiss girls

>>42823727
sup, KISS x 400 protagonist

>>42823727
Touching >> kissing.

>>42823727
I want to kiss cute girl buttholes.

>>42820956
No, it's a good VN. The people who don't like it are retarded. Here's the vocal version of the bgm Hope (by Lia) if you haven't heard it. It was released years later so it isn't in the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNes0sm8h6Q

>>42823188
Just read Subahibi since it's actually good.

Subahibi is the gayest thing I ever read
even without including the actual gay h-scene

>>42824686
I liked it too but the last part is really rushed. As a continuation to a supposed happy end I don't think the heavy drama is really necessary.

>>42824958
Well there's a reason it doesn't have Clannad in the title. It's its own thing with a different purpose for its story. If you just personally dislike what it's about, that's your prerogative, but it's not trying to be part of Clannad in that way. I never felt it was rushed.

I don't understand. Isn't Ai like his second or third aunt? So they are technically a bit related.

>>42825014
Like I said I like it. It just that the info dump at the last part felt rushed to me, like they ran out of budget and made a digest version. Maybe it intentional but I think it would be nice if they spend some more time to develop the drama.

>>42825014
The ending was crap, the drama wasn't well done and it felt more like an excuse to reach an emotional end that falls flat.

>>42825085
I didn't feel like I was reading an "info dump." If you were in that situation (Tomoya's) that's exactly what would have happened.
>>42825188
No point trying to argue with your personal taste, so I will say, "Okay."

>>42825231
>I didn't feel like I was reading an "info dump." If you were in that situation (Tomoya's) that's exactly what would have happened.
Maybe, but everything just felt really abrupt, even something simple like a scene about Tomoya rehabilitation and the others cheering on would be nice. Though it's just my opinion, if you enjoyed it that much then all the powers to you I guess.

>>42825392
I think Jun Maeda has a tendency in his writing, that when the "tragedy" occurs, he isolates the characters involved. You can see this in Clannad too for example after Ushio gets sick it just shifts to being her and Tomoya, who quits his job to stay home with her, and Sanae and Akio basically drop out of the story for no reason.

now that the sakura leaves have fallen.... thought on toki?

>>42827429
didn't play it so no thoughts

>>42803378
these two are really good
about the only complaint about the FD I have is that many cool characters are missing, I really hoped for more Anzu

>>42827429
scatji stated that the game could have been twice as long and it truly showed
https://twitter.com/SCA_DI/status/1559252010352148480
I hope sakuoto or a fandisc will expand on all the characters we were robbed of
besides that, it's the greatest thing ever

>>42828331
is it another sequel bait? sca_di talked about sakura no oto or something

>>42828345
there's no sequel bait this time, the game feels like a true conclusion for all the characters
however, since all the girls didn't get proper routes and focus, scatji said he would like to make them shine in a future project, which would be the end of the サクラノ trilogy

I'm rereading Sakura no Uta because I barely remember anything, and while some scenes are really fucking good, some others are dumb as fuck. Like Kei was is a clown for the majority of the story but turn out he was actually the biggest bro, and it's really poorly done, or the lewd jokes or jokes in general not being funny. But maybe that's me being old and jaded now.

>>42829260
No, you're absolutely right.

I know this is vn but I didn't see a better place to ask. In Made in Abyss the group calls Riko "team leader" but it sounds like "daijo" or rather "dai jo". I can't find any sort of translation that's even similar. It's clearly "d" "j" and not Gaido (guide?) Any thoughts?

How is sakutoki? Did sca-ji improve his writing skills?

I CAN'T READ

>>42829801
Wrong locale or code page?

>>42829788
He replaced the masturbation jokes with long ass infodumps nobody asked for

>>42829819
wtf is a code page

>>42829260
It's mostly garbage with some "good" scenes here and there that don't hit you like they're meant to become it's surrounded by dumb shit with no proper build up

day 13 bros.... owari da....

>>42829788
Dropped it when the chapter 2 trial dropped. Don't care if it gets better.

Finally finished up Sakutoki. Overall it was pretty good and I'm glad it concluded the story between Naoya and Kei
Chapter IV was probably my favourite and I'm just thinking how much better it would have made Sakuuta if it was there because Kei's death really lacked impact in Sakuuta. That said the fallout of his death and the general sense of emptiness I got from Chapter VI is probably one of my favourite moments in any VN.
Chapter V had some really rough developments and bits I didn't like but it finished off really well.
I was really surprised by Misuzu and how much I ended up liking her. It's a shame her route was set up as build up for the true route but I feel like after Chapter IV, I appreciate it a lot more. This might be recency bias but she might be my favourite heroine in the Sakurano series thus far

>>42829825
It's a way to turn binary numbers into letters which computers use.
Try setting system locale to Japanese instead of using Locale Emulator.

>>42829882
i think i'll simply emulate the pc98 version at this point

>>42829862
For it was like "a decade just for this" feeling after finishing it.

>>42829921
I can't imagine what it's like to have read Sakuuta back in 2015 and waiting all that time
I read it some months ago

>>42829820
Is there any good reason to read his infodumps rather than just reading books or wikipedia?

>>42830119
No

>>42830119
He's an eroge writer, not an art scholar.

>>42830119
wikipedia doesn't have cute girls making shimoneta

>>42830119
Read Proust

>>42830183
Most of his fans treat him like a scholar tho

>>42830251
Not reading all that shit

>>42830251
Read all that shit
now I'm based and readpilled

>>42830251
They think that because his works give low-brow people the impression they're interacting with something high-brow and they get impressed

Thought it was like Extreme Molester Terminus where you select the routes in any order...I have been had.

>>42829260
That’s exactly my impression. The problem is the good scenes are just so fucking good to the point you can’t really hate on the whole game

Feels like I've seen this priest before...
>>42830556
Yeah, I also got a bit confused going from Tokuiten to Chikan Densha 3 since the former is a lot more straightforward in every single way.

>>42819936
Kana has one of the best role in Toki, who care if she didn't have a route
She was far more impactful as a character as Makoto, who end up being her bitch in the end anyway

Makoto raped Naoya

>>42832373
it's a valid tactic against his donkan ass
well i suppose he's less of a donkan as an adult

Guys, I'm having trouble translating this line

I am interested in Uguisu Kagura games
https://vndb.org/p4671
Which one should I start with?
They all seem nice

>>42832417
They're all good aside from Parallelogram which I can't speak for since I never read it
You can't go wrong with starting with Kamimaho or Meikei, Meikei is shorter than the other games so that might be a nice start.

>>42832432
Nice
I wonder if they will have a new release soon, it’s been a while

>>42832417
Hope you're not just going by the pretty pictures. They're all fucking depressing and might make you want to kill yourself.

>>42832406
Don't use locale emulator.

>>42832451
My passion for eroge is honestly dying and I wanted something else that’s good beside the popular brands
If they are interesting and engaging enough then I’ll go for it

>>42832446
I think the brand's done for in general, not sure of the specifics but the writer and artist for all their games have left the company

>>42832446
I remember Lucle writing about how the company's basically dead. It really only seemed to exist for him to make whatever he wanted, and apparently he even largely funded the games himself. Last I heard, he was writing on contract for some projects that haven't been announced yet.

I think I’ll like Toki better than Uta cause it flows more naturally and reads better with better pacing
Thank god Scaji decided to cut off stuff, probably his smartest move in game planning part

>>42832783
>probably his smartest move in game planning part
I'm sure it was more of a budget issue and him coping about it

So, how many of you found out who Aria was before chapter V?

>>42833212
As soon as Ruriwo talks about how Rina helped her pick out her name via an anagram and Naoya's first meeting with Housai

>>42832783
>bro didn't get past chapter 1 yet

Why don't eroge have tranny heroines? This is 2023
https://vndb.org/g1909
Almost all VNs under the tranny tag are evn garbage

>>42833399
Because trannies aren’t women

>>42833475
So what? Chicks with dicks are hot if they pass

>>42833399
Right now is not the best time for a company to release futanari stuff. Although, first of all, there is a difference between futanari and trannyshit. But that's beyond the point.
There is the current heated debate in Japan that we had in Europe a few years ago, about letting trannies (to clarify, mentally ill men with dick and balls who identify as a woman) into the women's barthrooms, prisons, spaces... Let's say, the general public is not amused because they feel the danger. Plus the discussion got mixed with same sex marriage and rights to adoption, another hot subject.

>>42833399
https://vndb.org/g388
This is the tag you want

Does anybody have the nodvd for それは舞い散る桜のように?

>>42833399
You have anime for that, VNs pretty much don't pander to the west.

>>42834402
The DVD-ROM Edition doesn't need any, but it does need registry=installation AND 2nd disc mounted on the 1st (alphabetically) virtual drive for CDDA music to play.

>>42834443
By the way, I have no idea whateverthefuck H-suki uploaded as 3.89 GB Sorechiru because the OG is 3 CD, the DVD Edition is DVD+CD total 2 GB uncompressed, and the Complete Edition VJ005420 is 1.8 GB according to DLsite.

Also, I happen to have H-code for the DVD edition for some reason (the other one is worse?), it's /HA4:8@406FC0

>>42833212
literally the first time her name was mentioned. it's not like there were a lot of options for who she could be.

>>42834402
https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read_archive.cgi/anime/3342/1217342556/l50#497

I haven't checked it but that looks like what you need. It's about the Complete Edition.

Why is SCA-Ji so impressed by anagrams?

>>42833556
Completely unrelated. Even if I fuck a man cross dressing as a woman, I will call him by what he is, a man

i'm a slow reader and have not played any other games in the series and all but i'm like 4 hours into toki and it feels like it's still in infodump mode to resolve story threads I've never seen anyway
does this eventually become something resembling a normal vn or does it just continue like this?

>>42835581
That's what you get for starting with a sequel without reading the previous game you dumb faggot.

>>42835587
i read it was a prequel and figured it'd be alright in that case

>>42835623
No, it's a direct sequel to Sakura no Uta, following the same characters and storyline. You need to read that first.

>>42835581
lol

>>42835581
I wouldn't say normal but the scenes with Ai made me feel a way no other eroge heroine has in decades.
It's depressing to think someone that perfect does not exist.

>>42835581
b8

so, is saku toki actually an improvement for saku uta or is sca-ji stil a meme?

>>42835392
>, I will call him by what he is
There's no God categorizing and naming things in the world(there are no bounded things in the world to begin with). Language is usage and task dependant. Calling them men isn't anymore correct than calling them women. But the former just makes you look like an asshole if you hate them or gay if you wanna fuck them.

>>42836588
Still a meme

>>42836588
His storytelling skills are still subpar
His insights are still meh
"decent ideas, terrible execution" guy

>>42836588
Yes. Hated sakuuta, but sakutoki is a masterpiece.

what vn writer is not a meme?

>>42837034
The ones who are no longer active in this garbage dying medium

>>42836825
Yeah, I’m gay for wanting to fuck him, I won’t hide behind delusions to run away from this fact. Someone born male is male, even if he deludes himself into thinking he’s female. This is not being an asshole: if someone tells me they think KKK was actually written by sca-ji I will tell them no it isn’t, because it isn’t. It’s not up for debate.

Has anyone uploaded the toki ed songs

>>42837404
they keep getting struck off youtube but you could probably find them on bilibili

Can I play TnSR without first going through the original? I don't want to read the same thing twice just because SCA-ぢ様 said so.

any other good otome VN like this one? https://vndb.org/v6656

>>42837927
Shouldn't >>>/jp//blog/ know better in this case?

>>42837874
I'm pretty sure you can since that's the intended purpose of a remake

>>42837927
There are good BL games but not otome games

https://vndb.org/c7086
what did they mean by this

I see a lot of discussions here about Sakuuta this Sakuuta that but guys just let's be real music is what actually like 90% of this game
I personally still rated it highly despite hating quite a lot of it because of how some of the scenes emotionally hit me but just try to imagine for a second reading all that with some third-rate music in the background, would I be able to say the same thing? No fucking way I would be able to even finish it ever
It once again makes me realize just how much impact music is providing for the games, even most trash writing ever can be carried infinitely by some god-tier composer

>>42838717

>>42838721
Honestly it's still pretty low for a VN soundtrack. If you want a game that's outright elevated by a godly OST read Air.

Today too I'm shitposting instead of forcing myself to read Sakutoki

>>42838721
>even most trash writing ever can be carried infinitely by some god-tier composer
That's Hoshimemo for me

>>42838837
Lol literally same, my eyes still get wet when I listen to that music especially the remake ones and just try my best to forget what kind of abomination that plot was

>>42838837
>>42838863
What if you could only hear it with one ear, though?

>want to read some underaged romance kino
>have to go through the 3 other hags heroines before
>girl is voiced by fucking sumika of all thing
third maruto I dropped, probably the last

>>42839153
>voiced by sumika
picked up

>>42839153
the hags and their routes are unironically better

>>42839153
The blonde has the best route. Damekoi is great by the way so you're missing out severely.

>>42839244
do they act like hags or just usual teens but working?

>>42836588
KOTD (kamige of the decade)

>>42839265
The blonde is in college, the brown hair is an office worker in her early 20s. The blue hair is late 20s and (mild spoiler) MC's ex-wife.. The only one that behaves in an older manner is blue hair.

>>42839292
Also regarding the spoiler, if you're the type who cares about this sort of thing, their divorce didn't have anything to do with infidelity and she hasn't slept with anyone else since they divorced.

Just finished IV :(

Any VNs with hot black women?

Sometimes I get the itch.

>>42838721
I don't know, Hapymaher and Irotoridori no Sekai had god-tier soundtracks too, but I don't wanna read their sequels at all.

>>42839585
I also still can't get myself to read Irohikari but I wouldn't say that the music was on the same level
It was really atmospheric overall but if I try to recall any tracks the only thing that comes to mind is the shinku theme

Why do I have this feeling that Favorite is no one's favorite itt?

>>42839744
I always buy their games.
t. lolicon

>>42839744
The amount of japs on twitter who consider Sakuramoyu to be the best eroge in existence really tells that most people don't give a shit about writing as long as the music and atmosphere are good

>>42820246
Nice, looking good. I look forward to the new girl's route and Yuuhis after story. With hooksofts game this month, this in April and the Mashifoni remake + sana edition in June moefriends are eating good.

>>42838721
Honestly eroge audience don't give a fuck about writing quality as much as they do about them vibes

>>42840504
desu vibes is the reason i actually got into eroges in the first place
surely better writing would make stuff more entertaining overall but if i had to choose between something like Seabed which has outstanding writing but shitty stock music and disgusting photo backgrounds vs some moeplotge like hoshimemo with shitty cliched writing but good music and art i would surely have way more fun with the latter

>>42840694
>Seabed
>Outstanding writing
Nani?

>>42840750
well you gotta be real it's pretty outstanding if you compare it to the average of the medium especially the quality of sol writing is something that the majority sol focused stories unironically lack the most

>>>/vg/421092074
Bros EOPs are making fun of us again...

>>42841003
The quality of sol? The dialogue writing itself is fucking atrocious, as if two chatgps are having a conversation most of the time

>>42841022
i agree that the style of dialogues was pretty retarded especially when you can't even tell who is talking rn but the way the scenes themselves were set was extremely natural and realistic
man i really loved their trip part at the beginning it really managed to revive my old memories of trips with friends damn good old days

>>42843495
Suba Hibi (also known as Wonderful Everyday): It's the closest thing to a work of post-modernism that the VN medium has got. There's almost too much to say, so in an attempt to keep it simple, I'll just say this. If you have the patience to stick through with it to the end, you'll likely find something deeply rewarding in it.

>>42843495
What defines a great artist?

>scaji won't let you fuck this

Is eroge really the highest form of porn?

>>42844063
Next game for sure

>>42844117
I really won't give a fuck in 5 years.

>>42844117
Every character here has better art than this one >>42843495

>>42844077
No, hentai doujinshi are superior for masturbatory purposes although you could argue eroge has higher artistic value as it is an audiovisual medium.

>>42844162
Nah. Doujinshi have way to fast masturbatory flow. It's always just three clicks between the start of an act and its end. That's way too little.
Eroge stimulate much more slowly and thoroughly. And what's more important eroge include development of emotional bond to characters. That makes the act much more enjoyable.

>>42844117
The problem is i already feel content after Toki and Oto seems to be something more along the lines of your standard romance/moege not that there's anything wrong with that, i just doubt scaji's ability to write something like that. misuzu's cuteness was unexpected so who knows

>>42845439
Is lolimanga even considered normalfag nowadays?

>>42843840

She's like 35. Only a few years older than me...

>>42846394
No way in hell she's 35. She was like 7 or 8 in chapter 4, then a few years before Naoya is born. That's at the very least a 10 year difference between them.

>>42844077
Certainly not in the case of modern Asstronauts games and their shite art.

need me nukige kino based on greek myth

she's at least 60 at the end as well man

Just finished the game, it was brilliant.
Was there any symbolic meaning behind Naoya being able to "speak"

>>42846167
She is 33 or so, still pretty young for a teacher

>>42846432
She was 3-4 in the flasback, around 6 when Naoya was born

>>42848303
For proof when Kenichirou visited Kei in IV he and Naoya were 12-13 (since it's after Naoya's accident and Rin's departure, Naoya was 12 when it happened)
Ai says she just got college there so she is 18
