Make it JAV next thread.

anyone play this game? is the gameplay good? looking for a good raising sim

>Bastardized OP
Why can't we have normal threads...

>>44440724
Here you go: >>>/b/905073393

>middle finger sprite
Very interesting. OP still a faggot tho.

what's the name of that font in the OP image it looks just like the one yuzu uses

>>44441027
Skip STD-B

Wanna know why this thread sucks? Because no one cares about eroge.
>troll posts pic with his MTL visible to rile you faggots up
>gets many replies and you faggots make 30 posts talking about his 1 post still many many hours later
meanwhile
>other anons post about eroge they're reading
>0 replies
It really makes me question why I should post about what I'm reading here. The only way to get a reaction is having MTL in the screenshot. Should I do it too just to get replies?

I could take my blogposting to the /vg/ thread where it's offtopic and I'd get more real replies asking about the game, reacting to my image or even other JOPs discussing it. Not here, at least rarely.

This thread is dogshit because you don't care and you get enraged by any dumb shit. Just ignore it. All this thread has going for it is sharing games and the occasional good discussion.

>>44442233
>twintail drill bits
you had my interest but now you have my attention

>>44442192
Anyone who cares about eroge are reading stuff instead of shitposting here, as you should.

>>44442233
I'm interested in reading Study Steady, but I dropped 恋色マリアージュ after getting pretty far into it. There were scenes I liked, but I felt there were too many empty scenes of just nothing between them and rapid fire meaningless forced conflicts that go nowhere.
Is Study Steady too much like that? I'd like to give ま～まれぇど a second chance.

>>44442543
Study Steady 1 is characterized by (in my opinion) an unnecessarily long common route, then routes that mostly revolve around very long H-scenes. (Also, the Live3D animation is kinda bad.) Study Steady 2 fixes the animation and common route parts, but the routes continue to be sex marathons, primarily. There are no rapid-fire meaningless conflicts, really.

How long did it take for some of you to finish your first raw VN? Started yami no koe

>>44442867
Maybe a week and a half of reading 6-8 hours of 恋xシンアイ彼女. Got fucked by some unexpected Kansai-ben

>>44442867
My first raw VN was baldr sky and it took me 400 hours kek

>>44442867
I was already doing anime, manga, youtube for months before my first VN so not terribly long. VNDB says Cafe Stella was 40 hours so it probably took me 60-80 lol. Mined 200 hundred or more readings from ti i bet

>>44442951
Are you literally me? I'm not sure how long it took me exactly but it was something comically long like that.

>>44442867
take the average time on vndb and multiply it by 4. yami no koe is pretty easy though, if you dont understand a sentence you can just assume its some weird sex thing and move on

>>44442984
If I didn't grind for weapons so autistically it probably would have been like 350, but yeah, 400 hours on the in-game timer is when I finally put it down.

>>44442867
Around 3 weeks

>>44443003
I fucked up when I first played it and accidentally did the exe of the first game when I should have been using the second exe. I didn't realize this until after I had finished Rain's route. I went back and redid everything starting from the second exe, so the in game timer was fucked up for me. Also I think I lost my saves anyway + the gameplay obviously ate up a huge chunk of time (did it on very hard) so who knows.

>>44442867
Yami no koe has some weird words. but it's fairly short and easy. I just started reading vns in japanese last week and finished yami no koe a few days ago.

>>44442867
I think Inganock took me like 40 hours or something. A decent chunk of it was probably autistically trying to find out the reading for words not in the dictionary like 昇降扉.

>>44437744
this general sucks.

>dumb big tits girl with a weak personality
>this game makes me want to read her route despite hating this trope
that's what good writing looks like. and Freesia is still good here. I think I like her more as a support cast than an heroine.

Why was it so bad?

>>44445496
breasts too large

>>44445496
looks like AIslop

That's green...

>>44445627
Sorry but I looked up the hex color using gimp and MC is right.

>>44445627
https://www.911metallurgist.com/blog/what-gives-gold-different-colours
>Green Gold: Green gold, otherwise known as electrum, is a natural forming alloy which combines gold and silver. The greenish color varies depending on the exact mixture but back in the 73% gold, 27% silver

>>44442598
Thanks for the opinion. I might look into it when I wrap up my current nukige.

>>44442867
I read 大海原と大海原 in four months, reading it maybe every other day.
The recommended reading time is "6~7時間程度".
I had about a year of studying and six months of reading experience when I started.
Be prepared for a marathon. Once you finish your first VN it just keeps getting easier and easier forever, but the first one's gonna be a journey and a half.

>>44445627
How should you even play this game? High resolution edition is unity and no H scenes. Is the perfect edition the way to go?

>>44446295
Steam version with patches has Japanese text, H scenes and 2K resolution, it's the best

Has anyone read Ikusa Megami here? Is it finished? Don't want to start something that hasn't especially when it comes to Nu Eushully.

>>44445496
It's not awful, it's just not as good as some previous hadashi shoujo games. It's a perfectly fappable nukige.

Do you think something like Live a Live would make for a good VN? It already has NTR.

>>44447215
Not really, it's quite short and has minimal dialogue outside of the Alien pastiche segment including one segment that has no dialogue whatsoever, it wouldn't work well as a novel. You could rewrite it to have more dialogue but that's true for every story ever.

Do I need to play the first one or even Doukyuusei before playing Kakyuusei 2?

>>44447444
No. They have some recurring characters but they're completely fine standalone.
That said, are you sure you want to play kakyuusei 2? Is it just because you heard about the one thing everyone knows about kakyuusei 2 and want to see it for yourself?

>>44447452
>Is it just because you heard about the one thing everyone knows about kakyuusei 2 and want to see it for yourself?
Yes I want to see that thing.
Biniku no Kaori and Gatenkei are also on my list.

>>44447488
Gatenkei's great but I can't recommend it in good faith if you don't intend to jerk off to it and are just reading it for the plot. Unless you just read chapter 1 and then drop it at the firs ttimeskip I guess.

>>44447424
We're not short of short VN's. The caveman arc could be interesting if handled creatively and competently and we'd get explicit unga bunga sex out of it. Imagine Live a Live Rated X.

>>44447444
Kakyuusei is good and you should play it anyway. No idea if the Windows ver runs on newer OS but is worth to try, lots of gameplay time even if you use a guide to maximize efficiency and beeline for each route events.

>>44447507
If you're gonna play old games you might as well do it the old fashioned way and include the trial and error.

>>44442867
I had read like 50+ volumes of manga and played games in Japanese prior picking my first VN, so I can't say my first VN in Japanese took that much longer than the ones after thinking about it. Now if I'm to talk about my first manga or my first game yeah that took forever.

>>44447215
VNs don't have NTR

Speaking of Live A Live. Any VNs which captures a similar sense of adventure as in 90s/early 2000s JRPGs?

>>44445496
Because apparently writing a good harem is the hardest shit ever for visual novel writer.

>>44450939
Can you do better?

>>44451146
I am in fact writing something right now and it's going to be amazing.

>>44442867
Single heroine moege, almost 3 months

>>44442867
First one I truly finished was an otomege which took about three weeks. The following eroge with plot I read actually took longer because the Japanese was far more complex.

>>44451207

I'll reupload it sometime this week.

>>44452200
That would be awesome. Thanks.

Fairly new into the genre, any mainstream recommendations for romance? Really liked Amagami.

Is this thing any good? I like its OP song ( https://youtu.be/WV-y_3mkFkU ) a whole lot but I'm usually not too fond of single heroine games. What should one expect from this one?

>>44452642

>>44452642
Just pick anything from the yuzusoft catalog, i dont think you can get more mainstream that that, senren banka seems to be really popular in china

The heroines in this look great, I love mature heroines. And the only schoolgirl is a gyaru.

>>44452155
A delayed game is eventually good but a rushed game is forever bad, long delay sucks but beats releasing an unfinished product.

>>44452642
>>44454004
Read NG恋 if you want a more mature setting and very good hags.

>>44455033
All of these girls look schoolgirls-aged, but as long as they have the personality of sexy mature women I can get over it.

>>44455033
All of these heroines look schoolgirl age, but as long as they have the personality of a sexy mature women I can get over it.

Speaking of hags, why didn't I get groomed by cute hags when I was a teenager?
I was funny, handsome, innocent and really gullible. I literally met all the conditions for it to happen, so why the fuck didn't it happen? It's not fair bros.

the WHAT

>>44453602
Is it a nukige or is there some plot?

Wait, why's there a random 'or'?

>>44456872
It's just the writing. The occasional English "and" or "or" shows up from time to time.

Didn't Sakutoki get delayed twice?

What language are the background songs in Silverio in? It kinda sounds like Japanese sometimes, but then some lyrics sound like English and others sound Italian.

>>44457090
Would Hyouka work as an eroge?

>>44458098
No. We have plenty of documented cases of extensions only hurting the end product. Were you here when Daiteikoku had to go a complete system overhaul during the delay?

>>44458144
The better question is why wouldn't it?

Reading Aster, done Saya, Hina and Miyuki routes. This vn is utterly depressing, it makes me realize how much we were robbed by moege popularization and key of all companies defining nakige genre. Aster is the true potential of this medium. Unfiltered and undiluted. Fuck moebuta. Fuck every yuzupigs. Fuck keyfags and fuck

Is that why she speaks in keigo? To be a jerk?

VN for this feeling?

>>44459290
9-nine- all the way.

>>44458311
Are you saying key nakige is bad?

>>44458311
Please don't confuse nakige and utsuge.
When I play something that's between a moege and a nakige I want to cry but I don't want to get crushed for a week by a crippling depression. It's good that the industry moved beyond those terrible utterly depressing utsuge like Aster.
I thank Yuzusoft for almost always striking exactly right balance between crying, ero, and fun.

I wonder if there's an eroge powerful enough to deliver suicidal thoughts to its audience.

>>44459803
They lack originality and just remix and reuse stuff over and over again at this point, summer pocket cured heroines within timeskip and 5 text lines, like sad heroine syndrome, while true route was a mix of clannad and lb. Infamous key formula is no different than ubisoft or electronic arts trash (assuming you are a gamer and understand my gamer reference)

>>44458746
Yes, of course. Tbf aster story is depressing enough anyway, whole 奇跡は起こらない feels really refreshing at this point, over forced happy endings. Undeserved happy ending is worse than ntr desu.

>>44458759
Good to know.

>>44460174
Modern key is shit just like every other old developer, but you are out of your mind if you think their old titles are bad

the one that makes her naked but you have to pay for it

https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/660490
Why would the Japanese pay 800k dollars in yen for 12 * 2.5 minute episodes?

>>44460599
because half of it comes from a small number of well-off enthusiasts and the other half is just from fans chipping in small contributions

>>44460599
I'm too lazy to look up the original kekstarter, did Madosoft even mention how long the episodes would be beforehand?

>>44460599
Many good studios could make a full eroge with that money.
All that for less than 30 minutes?

>>44460599
>scamstarters are still alive and kicking
So if the goal was $70K what are they going to do with the rest of the money?($700K)

>>44460710
whores

>>44460599
this is the most retarded shit ever. why the fuck would you spend nearly a million dollars for a shitty anime instead of funding more eroge from an eroge company? eroge fans are retarded.

>>44459885
You're a pussy. I find nakige more offensive than utsuge. Like the writer thinks I cant handle depressing real shit.

>>44458311
Aster isn't the only utsuge, what are you on about?

>>44452409
Kazoku Keikaku
pixeldrain com/u/dKMztdnN

>>44460843
it's not like people have ever tried to fund an eroge like this have they? so we never know how much a project is expected to cost, compared to the amount they can milk from their fans
I don't know about this one but backing tends to gives you stuff so there's incentive for people to keep paying after the goal, like whales getting a spot in the credits, versus just buying multiple copies of an eroge normally

>>44460909
Thanks for sharing.

>>44460980
There are crowdfounded eroge yes
Cross Concerto is one.

>>44458311
>multi protagonists
>they all have their own love interests

>>44458311
Picked up

>>44456783
Haven't played it but I heard it focuses on romance despite the premise.
>>44458311
Sounds great, I need more utsuge.

>>44458311
Why would I want to get depressed from a VN when I can be that by looking at my own life

>>44460599
>>44460843
Just take a look at these crowdfunding goals
https://ubgoe.com/projects/244
The sorechiru remake sequel got 35% of the money they got for their total 30 minute anime.
Pic related are the crowdfunding goals. Thats a complete game with 4+ heroines and then a bunch more characters from the prequel.

These people straight up got scammed. Are they dumb?

>>44460873
I really doubt most writers have the most porn addicted and genre tired shitposting channer in mind minus SCA-JI.

>>44459885
Is utsuge really that inducing for crippling depression from the reader when it's is all about empathizing and relating with the characters' plight? It's supposed to make you think in a certain way instead of just feeling sorry for them. Needless pandering and happiness without meaning circling around the protagonist in a lot of eroge is just insincere bullshit.

>>44461668
Having story based stretch goals like heroine routes and extra characters is worrying. Makes it seem like the game is not very planned at all, I would be surprised if it ends up being good.

>>44461668
>Are they dumb?
They are paying for moege so...

>>44461668
Madosoft understands modern eroge market much better than Sorechiru staff. Isn't it obvious?

>>44461668
Project of some eroge from 20 years ago vs a successful recent eroge
Even if it had a big following back then, probably not many of them care about the game, or eroge in general anymore

>>44365638
Looked into it, like 4 character sprites of the girl plus two background cgs are corrupted so the game crashes, when it tries to load them, sad because all the porn cgs seems to be fine.
it would be easy fix if there was some way to open the files and repack them(this is the hard part)

>>44461668
Surprised people would donate to navel when PrincessxPrincess was released in an incomplete state.

>>44460906
Utsuge should be more popular than nakige and we should've get more of these instead of keyshit.
>>44460280
How old we're talking about?
>>44461469
Because tragedy in fiction is beautiful? Because it doesn't happen to me? Tragedy IRL doesn't stop me from enjoying fictional tragedy

>>44461469
Does sad stuff make you uncomfortable?
There's always a silver lining to be found in utsuge. It's not like they simply break you for the hell of it.

I join anon on wanting more utsuge but it's not like I have a problem with classic Key works or the kind of drama VNs we often get though.

>>44463062
>Because it doesn't happen to me?
How the hell are you reading eroge to say that?
The whole point of enjoying eroge is to feel like all this stuff is happening to you. That's why almost all eroge are written from the protagonist viewpoint, don't have voices for the protagonist, etc.
It's obvious why hopeless tragedy of utsuge would extract very high mental toll on a reader and wouldn't be that popular compared to more lighthearted or at least dramatic stuff with a happy ending.

>>44463062
I don't get tragedy in fiction. It's not even a VN thing, but in fiction in general. If I want to get depressed all O need to do is read the news. I want to read fiction to escape. There are some exceptions to this rule, but generally tragedy isn't the reason why I enjoy fiction

>>44463107
Sad stuff makes me... sad. Which is the point, I guess.

>>44462879
It's just blind brand loyalty at this point. They haven't really done anything damnedly scandalous.

>>44463131
Misery porn junkies think that if anything doesn't destroy their psyche it's gay kiddie trash. It's a debilitating type of media poisoning.

>>44463131
What about seeing something so good it makes you depressed because you don't have that irl?

>>44463171
I think some people are just not wired to find beauty and worth in sadness. Based on your posts, and unless I'm mistaken, it seems to be as such for you, hence why I'm trying to dig into it.

To give some perspective, being able to feel sad, especially to an extent where I'm completely engaged into what's going on to the point of being physically hurt, is amazing to me and it's not an exaggeration. The thing is most VNs out there probably don't have what it takes to get me there, but a well written utsuge can.
To put it differently it's like exploring the emotional spectrum of existence in a way that isn't presented as often. You can experience dating a girl and resolve her mundane drama countless of times, but you won't experience having the love of your life dying and leaving you alone with a kid in that many works out there for example.

>>44463209
Do you really need to stoop so low and use dumb buzzwords and create some kind of "them vs. us" kind of situation? It makes you look weak. I like all genres not just misery btw.

>>44463312
>meet girl for like 2 weeks
>she dies
>get depressed for like 3 years.
if it was someone he knew for a long time i could understand, at least you can impregnate the little sister lmao

>>44463357
Could've fooled me. You lot always go for zero sum absurdities.

>>44463357
This whole shitstorm started with >>44458311 declaring
>Fuck moebuta. Fuck every yuzupigs. Fuck keyfags and fuck

And you have the gall to complain about buzzwords and "them vs. us"? Are you fucking kidding me? This is a polarized buzzword-filled us vs. them shitshow from the very start.

>>44463390
You've clearly forgotten what it feels like to be a hormonal teenager.

>>44463357
>Do you really need to stoop so low and use dumb buzzwords and create some kind of "them vs. us" kind of situation? It makes you look weak.
Not that anon but this post >>44458311 which started it all, is exactly that lmao

>>44463127
>How the hell are you reading eroge to say that?
I don't self-insert. I can certainly sympathize with the protag, know what they supposed to feel, assuming writer done good job. I can immerse into eroge, setting, world and characters with no issue. But I always separate myself from actual story protagonist.
I like protags with backstory and voice acting more, yes I'm a dirty shameless plotcuck (I still read and enjoy moege occasionally, in moderation). And I know I would never enjoy some vns if I were a self-inserting cuck.
Maybe that's why I can enjoy utsuge as much as I do.

>>44463131
News barely make me depressed anymore since they all about people I don't even know. In vn you spend time to actually know characters. So it's different.
Besides, I want to see interesting characters, which goes along with pain and suffering, unlike moege lol.

>>44463404
>>44463414
I'm not that anon though and just because one acts in a polarized extreme way doesn't mean you have to act like an ape and answer in kind though. It just makes you look and unable to be the better man, and ironically emotional.

look weak*

>>44463131
The appeal is to read how the characters overcome personal struggles and find their own way to cope at the end. Watching depressing news is overwhelmingly soullessness without any conclusion.
>>44463209
That's just overwhelmingly a sweeping generalization and you know it. Utsuge enjoyers can enjoy happy eroge and some (You) pandering but there's limits to how condensing BS writing can be.

>>44463404
>>44463414
Shitstorm? All I see is some actual eroge relevant discussion instead of retarded mtl drama, compared to previous thread. You probably need to develop thicker skin tho.

As a piratefag, I can't complain about whatever trend is going in the industry
If I can't find interesting stuff in new releases I will just dig old shit, which is what I mostly do nowadays anyway
There are a ton of eroge, I doubt I will ever run out of them

>>44460980
Musicus was crowdfunded if I remember right

>>44460909
Thanks anon!
>>44462826
Isn't there a non-corrupted version somewhere?
I'd be tempted to buy it on DLSite and reupload it if my debit card wasn't denied there since about 2 years ago...

>>44463409
real life story, back when i was a 13 i used to play a lot of pump it up and ddr, meet a lot of people and made a lot of friends and of course a gf we used to do everything together even our MSN email were similar, in forums we used king of fighter avatars she used athena and i used that dude that is in love with her kensou now that i think about it shit was super embarrassing, anyway when I was 17 she died from leukemia i was very sad but not even close to be depressed like that.
not even when my dad died nor when my uncle who became my dad's replacement died from liver failure i got depressed.

>>44463553

You could say that about any group, but "moebutas" apparently are a special breed of no nuance to you.

>>44463597
Yeah I recall now, I remember being pissy about how the productions for Musicus really didn't line up with what they earned

>>44463600
lol you're just mad cuz you got called fat, dude. no hard feelings piggie ;)

>>44463579
Cool anecdote, but not everyone takes loss as non-chalant as you. Hard to acknowledge being in 4chan and all, but there are sincerely emotional people who turn into wrecks when they see dead people no matter the connection.

>>44463622
>finally showed his true colors.
And this is why you deserve only shit thrown at you.

>>44463390
I'd be super depressed if I lost my chance to fuck Haruka too.

What's funny is that they did another one for console ports, and it was a success too

Kek, reality is not on your side.

Winning so hard they had to cry that nobody makes games for them anymore and their shitty companies are dying left and right

>keeps on getting fatter and fatter from yearly releases of regurgitated moeslop
Yeah, they won all right lol

I didn't think I'd see so many anons openly shitting on plot and drama in this thread but I'd say it's rather fitting with the times we live in. Thinking and feeling too much can be a bit scary I get it.

>>44463690
Yuzusoft and Madosoft are the most successful modern eroge companies while all the utsuge companies are long dead.
Plotcucks have already lost this fight.

>>44463741
It's called eating good, plotpig. You're malnourished for content.

I wish Alicesoft was still in its prime to serve as the equalizer of both moe and plot.

you are all too autistic

Your plotge, your utsuge, your nakige, your moege will never have a production value as high as my Milk Factory masterpieces, anyway
You can stop fighting

>>44463773
I'd rather be anorexic than beat anorexia with VNs loaded that's equivalent to HFCS.

>>44463573
doubt it, but if you find it, post it.

>>44463632
>there are sincerely emotional people who turn into wrecks when they see dead people no matter the connection.
You're talking about a fictional character in a story written exclusively around drama and stir emotions.
If it walks like a duck.

>>44463302
It doesn't really happen.
>>44463490
don't get me wrong. I love struggle. I enjoy drama.I love character getting beaten down, raising up and find a way to overcome tragedy and find happines fand fulfilment in the end. but tragedy for tragedy's sake? that's just not my thing. Kinkoi's true route is one of the few exception to this rule.

>>44463573
Maybe you could request it on anime-sharing/hentai-sharing who knows.

>>44463926
Yes, fiction can deliver the same effect. Stop being such an unaffected passive fuck.

>>44464159
how about... nah

>>44463807
Okay, nothing left for you then.

>>44464166
Stay the edgy 15 year old. No loss on my part.

>>44464181
nah means nah my man. time to let go.

>>44464193
Let go of this
*unzips dick*

>>44463948
>tragedy for tragedy's sake
That's pretty much why I don't like certain VNs that insist on shock value like most of the Clock Up games. It's just stupid garbage meant to get a reaction from you. It's pretty easy to tell if the author genuinely wants to convey something serious to the reader vs. some misery loving chucklefuck for the hell of it.

*look at dick*
*Its 2 inches*

>>44463579
>meet a lot of people and made a lot of friends and of course a gf
Nice and beautiful anecdote though, I would read your VN normiekun.

two years later I meet a another girl, she was older than me by 4 years but we hit it off real good, we used to play ragnarok online and gunz at a local internet cafe almost everyday.

>>44464308
>ragnarok online
god I miss that game. It was a more optimistic time, right before the internet started really going to shit. Every time I try a new MMO I'm just chasing that feeling

>>44464273
>>44464286
You're supposed to look up not down.

>>44464407
That's your job, hon.

>>44464327
Would you play a Ragnarok eroge?

>>44464421
absolutely

>>44464418
The sub doesn't tell the dom what to do.

>>44464441
Listen you massive butapig. You spend your entire time opening your mouth big and wide for the latest yuzuslop every year. Literally just waiting for your overlords to spread their butt cheeks and unload their slop into your mouth. Looking up and swallowing all of it is exactly your role.

>>44464477
>plotcuck seething
Kek, he finally lost it.

The absolute state of エロゲスレ

>>44463131
It feels kind of validating if something beautiful can be made out of tragedy because when it happens in real life it's just sad and that's it. Whereas fictional tragedy can at least have beauty in the sadness. Of course, there's also the cringe type that's purely for shock value that I don't care about.

>>44464262
>It's pretty easy to tell if the author genuinely wants to convey something serious to the reader vs. some misery loving chucklefuck for the hell of it.
Can you recommend me something from the former? Bonus if it has an happy ending

>>44464521
It's utterly depressing. Even MTL skulduggery seemed less disgusting than this.

>>44464421
Only a Silverio Ragnarok eroge

>>44464581
Probably everyone and their mom had read it already but Fata Morgana.

Let's get back to the point lads.
I just finished Cartagra and I want to know if Innocent Grey is working on another mystery VN. It's hard to explain but the peculiar atmosphere they create in their novels plus their amazing cast of very breedable girls make for a very addictive reading experience. I literally finished the whole Kara no Shoujo series back to back, and without fail the mystery has been the shittiest aspect of all their games, especially how they solve those mysteries at the end (Cartagra being the best example of this, shitty mystery but the brothel setting was exceptional, Shuugo leaving very quickly from that place is undoubtedly one of the biggest flaws of the game). It may sound contradictory but I still want them to make another mystery VN because I really think it's thanks to the mystery that the points I like about these games really shine, however shitty that mystery may be.

>>44465026
You can always read Caucasus. Although that game has its own share of issues.

>>44465041
I already read it, all these shitty games have a lot of problems but in terms of enjoyment I think I would put it on the same level as Cartagra. For reference:
KnS2>KnS1>KnS3>Cartagra=Carcasus
But still I think all these games are great and definitely worth playing (with a guide or else they will not be more entertaining than a swift kick to the balls).
I think the only one I still need to play is PP -Pianissimo but at this point I think I'm just going to wait for a remake.

>>44465026
How different is the cartagra remake to the original?
I have read neither.

are these threads better than djt for talking about japanese?

>>44465499
Everyone MTLs everything here though

>>44465499
The most notable changes are: now Shuugo has a voice (he has a good voice actor, the same as in KnS1, but he definitely makes the hscenes worse), HD resolution (it's not stretched, backgrounds and CGs are redrawed), new sprites (I personally like the old ones better but they are both good), new op, new songs and the most important one, new endings. I'd say there's no reason to play the original other than to see the old sprites, if you're going to read it definitely play the remake.
>>44465525
I am going to say it again, if the captcha to post something were a simple kanji test this would not happen.

>>44465525
Now that DeepL is kill, what do we (我々) use now to MTL?

>>44465610
Fuck, the first reply was meant for >>44465365

Installed an old game called Idol Mahjong Final Romance 4(new version still has not been uploaded afaik) but after trying to start it a 16-bit high color error appears. Changed the setting in the exe compatibility tab to display 16-bit high color and still didnt work. Any workaround not involving a VM?

>>44465613
We use our heads to MTL, bro.

>>44465714
Try dgvoodoo.

>>44457090
>>44458144
that's hyouka right? is it ever coming back? I don't remember that scene
>Would Hyouka work as an eroge?
yeah that be interesting, but rather more as mystery investigation game would be cool
I wonder is it worth going through the manga?

>>44446469
who is this slut again and does she get pounded on her game?
or any debauched eroge with a character like that?

>>44465849
>pounded on her game?
Not by MC-kun.

>>44465827
>that's hyouka right? is it ever coming back? I don't remember that scene
Yes. Never ever. Perfect time to rewatch it then.
>I wonder is it worth going through the manga?
Maybe this is somewhat unrelated to this thread, but there's no reason not to read the novel, especially since it even has several jp audiobooks in case you find it easier to understand it by both reading the novel and listening to the audiobook.

>>44465883
so is that ntr or what?

>>44465953
Yeah

>>44465883
Is a shame how sprite hit the lottery with aokana and then decided to waste all their money on that anime adaptation that flopped and then proceed to waste all their money on some gacha that flopped even harder

>>44465918
>Maybe this is somewhat unrelated to this thread, but there's no reason not to read the novel
oh so its actually those text heavy novels?
>several jp audiobooks in case you find it easier to understand it by both reading the novel and listening to the audiobook
that is a good hint too maybe I'll look that up

>>44465610
I just remembered how they had fucking suwabe voice Reiji in KnS2 and then replaced him on the remaster/sequel
My heart was crushed that day

>>44466004
There is a collection of torrents on nyaa called "Japanese Audiobook Collection" with hundreds of light novel audiobooks in case you're interested (it would also be great if there were more seeders hehehe)
>>44466006
Wtf, I didn't know this... I'm so used to Waruta's voice for Reiji that I can't imagine it any other way, although I won't lie, Suwabe sounds like a very good candidate for that role.

>>44465610
You can't disable the MC voice during the hscenes? what is that homosexual chicanery?

>>44466090
I mean, you can, and I could have easily turned it off, but I wanted the full experience kek. Plus, I think it's a bit rude to disable his voice after all the effort he put into recording it right? No moan goes to waste is my motto.

>>44466077
nta but I'll try to remember to grab that next freeleach

>>44465963
And now they're using the Aokana money that saved them from bankruptcy to make an all ages yurige

>>44466150
>all ages yurige
I may need to actually buy a sprite game again

>>44465963
And now they are wasting the money from extra 2 for some all ages yuri trash lol

>>44440724
Same,why do they think making a catalogue search hard keeps out normies? The nihongo IS the gatekeeping.

Is steins;gate supposed to be displaying chinese text? this is a pirated steam copy

>Bubuzuke is still alive

This makes me super happy,after the bad news about that one guy nana-G,7-G or however his name is said, I was thinking Bubu had croaked. Especially since he hasn't released an eroge since 2019. Although I do wonder what he's been doing since,VNDB has nothing on him......

>>44466271
I literally typed "vn" (without " obviously, I shouldn't have to point out that but you never know with retards) and got this thread.

>>44465613
DeepL still works though?

>>44466150
>all ages yurige
>instead of zwei or if
Yurishit is one thing but all ages is taking the piss
I hope they bankrupt again

Nasu hit the lottery by removing the porn from tsukihime and selling a ton so everyone else think they are typemoon and can pull off the same shit, im looking at you, laplacian.

>>44466494
>laplacian
what? are they going the gacha route too?

>>44466504
no he's talking about when aojashin got localized and the writer(?) tried to defend all the changes

>hate it when companies go all ages
>skip all h-scenes anyway for all non nukige games
why am i like this

>>44466559
I'm the same. It's because removing H-scenes is a portent of incoming greed driven business decisions

>>44466494
But didn't Laplacian also remove all the porn from Hakuchuumu and still made a fortune? Are hscenes really that cursed?

>>44466559
It's the sign of a dying company desperate to reach a wider audience

>>44466559
Hello, literally me. How are we doing tonight?

>>44466494
Nasu won the lottery a long time ago with Saber who became an iconic character despite the bland design and personality
Which I will never understand, even in FSN itself the other characters are much more interesting

>>44466559
>>skip all h-scenes anyway for all non nukige games
Can't really imagine myself skipping the h-scenes of my favorite heroine or heroines in non-nukige. I skip the non-favorites everytime in plotge.

>>44466594
I don't dislike Saber but her popularity also bewilders me. Literally every other type-moon VN heroine I find more interesting.

>>44466559
Literally me

>>44466150
yurishit all-ages aside sprite is still cool and has not abandoned their original fans like Laplacian did.

>>44466583
I read the school uniforms and sex scenes(through a patch) were still present in the chinese version but im not sure
Also they still have not announced anything despite saying they would so who knows how it went for them

For me, it was less about Laplacian going all ages hell they replaced h-scenes with nice cgs of obscured sex but visual handholding which i really like, though the change from high school into university for case 1 was really retarded and it had more to do with Ono being a pretentious cunt about it

Are the most expensive physical eroge warrant the price in regards to their quality?

I always masturbate to the first h-scene in a route out of respect for the heroine.

>>44466616
She's Agrias Oakes but with a better PR team behind her.

>>44465613
>>44466424
Kill yourself.

>>44467594
I killed myself. What now?

>>44467728
they got any decent vns in the afterlife?

If you consider VNs like ふしぎ電車 good then yes, plenty

anybody knows how to fix this graphic glitch on monobeno?

>>44468488
What setup are you using? Japanese locale and everything? Did you install the game off an iso?

>>44468495
japanese locale and location, and yeah installed from the iso
that glitch shows both using Wine and running on Windows 7

>>44468506
Weird. What graphics card are you using? I can't think it'd be that but I can't think of much else. When does the glitch occur? Is it consistent? Can you consistently trigger it?

>>44468508
I don't think is related with my graphics card, but is an AMD APU, tried Auto, DirectDraw, Direct3D and GDI render modes, none of them seems to do any difference, and yes, I can reproduce it consistently, I think it happens because the game tries to draw an specific natsuha's eyebrows

>>44468488
Have you applied relevant patches from https://web.archive.org/web/20210921143101/http://www.lose.jp/official/monobeno/download or https://web.archive.org/web/20211025072649/http://www.lose.jp/official/monobeno/download-old ?

>>44468488
amd gpu? seems like gpu memory issue lol
try changing this

>>44468550
Maybe uninstall and reinstall?

>>44468552
going to give it a try
>>44468553
still the same, it that monobeno happy end?
>>44468555
just tried on the windows 7 vm, still not working

>>44468597
You're playing happy end, aren't you? You should be.

>>44468603
Yeah I downloaded 『girlcelly』 [120427] [Lose] ものべの -MONOBENO- 初回版 + Tokuten + Sofmap + Update 1.1
I'll download happy end, I guess...

>>44468611
You understand that Happy End is the updated rerelease which contains both the full original game and all of the sequel/fandisc content, right?

>>44468614
It sounded too good to be real

The last route I did and the first one I actually shed a tear at, and it was the one I was least expecting it. I thought her rewriting her own memories was corny, but somehow the family theme and last few scenes hit me right where it hurts.

>>44468632
Really? I thought her route was by far the worst in terms of the emotional drama (even thought the SoL and co was pretty good).

>>44468648
and comedy*

>>44468488
scan the barcode on your loli to proceed

>>44468552
Didn't work, I'm giving up in this version :(
I'm downloading happy end this sunrise

>>44468757
Why would you want to read the old version anyway? Happy End is like strictly better

>>44468632
Same as the other anon I'm surprised you liked her route but good for you.
I think I might've enjoyed the extra routes more if I had played them when I first read the VN (since I played on release day and these were only added a few years later).

Are you done with the VN now?

>>44468953
Maybe he doesn't want a happy end for his lolis?

>>44468953
Doesnt Happy End have some rewrites?

Sumi + Sumi after were really good. Too bad they didn't put that amount of effort into the other routes

>>44463890
>doubt it, but if you find it, post it.
I'll give it a try.
>>44464001
>Maybe you could request it on anime-sharing/hentai-sharing who knows.
Yeah, I'll try that as a last resort.

Trying to remember this one eroge I installed in my PC. You're band just broke up and I think the whole point was to pick up girls for some reason I've forgotten. Early H scenes if I recall.

Never mind.

Is there anyway to search titles on VNDB through synopsis alone?

>>44471119
try using google but limit your result with inurl:vndb.org

>>44471200
"gangbanging anon's girlfriend vndb.org" sadly resulted in no useful results.

>>44471119
Your best bet is to use database dumps from https://vndb.org/d14 and load it in a local database where you'll attach some sort of full-text search to the "description" field of the "vn" table. Unfortunately there is no index on that field in the live database so it's unlikely that you'll be able to search it as is.

For some limited searches you could use https://query.vndb.org/ and write there queries like "SELECT * FROM vn WHERE description ILIKE '%anonymous%' LIMIT 10;" or something like that.

Of course you'll need some basic knowledge of SQL to do either of those things.

>>44468614
Happy end is working perfectly, still, I can't help but feel like I'm playing fanfiction

>>44468488
how the fuck does a VN trigger a gpu driver bug kek

>>44468488
Looks fine, what's the problem?

>>44472091
If you'll have the same problem again then you should check your memory. It really looks like some sort of memory corruption.

>>44472368
It can happen if it uses a lot of video or Live2D.

>>44468488
>>44472091
Her smile finally returned after you removed the glitch from her forehead. I won't lie, that was a bit touching. Sniff.

>>44468488
>>44472521
Reminds me of this, but I haven't had any memory problems since then

>>44472616
Such a joyful conclusion

>>44472642
It maybe a problem in some rarely accessed region of memory. It might even be a problem in a part of the memory which is usually reserved for integrated video. If you have a integrated graphics card (APU) then your best course of action is to set video memory as low as possible in the UEFI and do proper low level memtest on all the rest of the memory.
Memory problems could begin subtle but could easily lead to a lot of catastrophic silent corruption eventually. It's better to catch them early and replace problematic memory sticks if that's what causing it. Underclocking might sometimes solve such problems in some rare cases too.

>>44472549
It's still hilarious. If you rape your GPU, obviously you can run out of memory but this shouldn't be resulting in graphical glitches like that. Well assuming properly implemented drivers and that the graphics application isn't doing something weird (it's a VN; nobody should be doing anything too exotic).

>>44472722
Anon said he was running on integrated graphics. It's not weird to imagine glitches can occur.

>>44472787
Not with properly implemented drivers. Integrated just means it has weak performance. It's not supposed to mean it's broken.

>>44472787
AMD has pretty good integrated graphics on Ryzen. It would be rather doubtful for that to be the cause.

>>44472801
Anon didn't say he was running a Ryzen though. I was envisioning something much older.

>>44472804
I bet something older would probably be unacceptably slow to run Live2D games.

Which vinnie should I MTL next. Any moege recs?

>>44473002
This is the one for you.

Anon, you've got it backwards. VNs are implemented in a more buggy haphazard way than real games.

>>44473050
You're not supposed to recommend kamige

>>44473430

Retardo, I posted that and it is definitely not bait. You guys are so retarded that you are repeating the same thing that happened in the previous thread. It was a mistake to post that smiley face though lol

>>44473537
It's bait because you wanted people to pay attention to you. It's that simple. Are you retarded? You're like that one black kid in class who shits his pants on purpose and then tells everyone that he's a dindu

>>44473253
How is it a kamige?

>>44470422
Sorry I deleted the game already, the backgrounds cgs are the schoolyard during rain I think and the sprites are the girl bending forward and yelling/surprised sprite, there are like 2 variations of her wearing her bloomers, the corrupted one is her wearing her normal clothes which is why the game crashes earlier on.
Honestly, forget about it.

Would anyone have an idea as to why KKK won't correctly render 長音符 or whatever the hell these are called vertically, as opposed to horizontally? There's exactly one font that works for it (MingLiU_HKSCS-ExtB) but using that results in Chinese versions of runes appearing. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying.

>>44474085
Must be a font issue on your computer because the default font worked fine for me. Have you tried reinstalling them?

>>44438814
are you an NTR enjoyer?

>>44474222
No dice even after reinstalling, sadly. The most bizarre thing is that say, MS Gothic or Meiryo displays these characters fine in another vertical text game, Albatross.

>>44472642
HOW YOU FIXED THIS

>>44474362
It only happened in that one scene

>>44474389
So I guess is a game bug, like a damaged sprite? My OCD makes me seethe so much

Do you have the same bug? Then it's probably a game bug or maybe driver related? I have a nvidia card

I read the first hour and dropped it. It didn't leave much of an impression.
I'm not a fan of Liar-soft in general. I hate using the phrase "style over substance" but reading their works does leave me feeling like I want something more substantial.
I am planning on giving 絶対地球防衛機メガラフター a chance soon though, it looks pretty fun.

>>44468648
>>44468969
Yeah the ending just pushed all the right buttons for me, probably because I know what its like to deal with not wanting to face your family, despite knowing its the right thing. The SoL parts were also great.

I had half forgotten, but I do actually remember feeling a little about the ending though. Mostly about how everyone on the island was there for her and like a family to her though. It was hard to have any sympathy for her real parents and the ending didn't change that for me. They just seemed like huge cowards who didn't really deserve her.

It was hard for me to judge whether her parents were right or wrong because Japanese society is so different, so maybe having parents who went to jail is really a huge thing.

I can understand why they were hesitant, I just didn't like how wishy-washy and kind of deceptive they were about it. If they had any intention to try and be her parents they should have been thinking more about how all this would impact her than they seemed to be doing. Not even keeping in contact with her until MC dragged them over, even after the big climax where she called to them, was a bit much.

Also if this wasn't a wholesome key VN the parents whole story and actions honestly would look like some kind of scam being played on her desu

It's the weakest of the Josou series.

what wrtieup are you referring to?

The thread is still alive?

There were only 3 threads left when I made the new one. Guess the board was slower than usual.
