I haven't been reading VNs for a decade and slowed down even before that, what are some of the best ones that came out since about 2012 you would recommend?

Demonbane anon again. Since I finally got through all the common route stuff, I figure that I'd inform you guys that I fixed a ton of shit going through all of that. Additional uncensoring, script errors, etc. Unbreaking Al's swimsuit sprites was a hell I don't want to go through again. Anyway the link again in case you want to update your download.

It's just strong pattern recognition, dude... though admittedly it's Japanese, and furthermore it's an eroge, and furthermore it's Yuzu[whatever is the antonym of "slop"], so there shouldn't be any ill intent after all.

It says that reading wiki is necessary for the true end in Tobiden, but how necessary is the guide overall? Can i play most of the game normally and then check it out near the end? Is there any turning point?
Definitelly don't feel like replaying 150hr game just because i got something fucked at the beginning

>>46147454
I haven't played it but I remember reading that there's important missable items so you should at least check the FAQ on the wiki to make sure you get them. There's also a modded version with warnings for missable content.

>>46147598
Where to get the modded one?

>>46147454
i'm normally very anti-guidefag but tobiden is fucking absurd
the requirements for true end are obscene. i wouldn't say the game has missable content, it has a missable game. granted it sort of works with the themes and lucia's personality but it's still borderline suicidal to try for true end without peeking at a wiki, unless you're playing with like half a dozen other people and all sharing info.

there's permanently missable items/characters/events/you name it
maybe the modded version helps, i don't know, but if you don't then drop by the wiki every now and then, it's pretty spoiler free if all you want is to know what not to fuck up

also no idea why it's considered a vn, it's a straight up rpgmaker jrpg

>>46147454
ah whoops i didn't really answer the question properly
>Can i play most of the game normally and then check it out near the end?
nope
you need all the party members, all the (important) sidequests, and some other stuff in order to get that far, and almost all the big storyline quests need to be unlocked via having the right things/doing the right quests
during some of those you can miss things and permanently lock yourself out of the true end

>>46147676
Well it's a shame then since i'm tired from the guides already and wanted to play something blindly for once
I will never understand the devs who purposely make the requirements obscure with half of the game being missable, they literally just ruin the experience for 90% of normal people who just can't be bothered reading guides or doing everything perfectly

>>46147720
it feels like it was designed either to be played with other people sharing info, or as something you play a LOT of
i remember not having a lot of games as a kid and boy did i know those like the back of my hand, you'd explore every inch of it and replay it dozens of times looking for ways in which you could make it different or hoping to uncover some secrets. it feels a lot like that was the aim. like, here's a game you could play for months and still find new stuff.

however, the times just aren't really like that anymore, we're flooded in things to play or do.

>>46147741
I don't even mind some side content being missable but imagine spending 100 hours on a game without being even able to see a proper ending, that would fucking suck

>>46147621
https://mega.nz/#!j5phGYAC!F1kOlUwFO-ZrKKXj_MpEtn2GLJnRgi4ZNOGT5ESa77Q

>>46147720
If you play normally I'm pretty sure you can't get stuck before the true end. (not wasting a ton of days, not refusing events)

However, the 最終話 『風のつばさ』 is crazy completionist content that requires the wiki and I would recommend just watching it on youtube because you will probably get bored of the game before you complete all the side stuff.

>>46147766
ayep, hence why i played with the wiki open
some of that shit i would probably never have found. plus it's not like you just hit the normal end along the way and then get bumped back to the title screen. since you have to choose to retire manually, the next major quest just never unlocks because you don't have the right character/etc.
also lol15saveslots only on a 120+ hour game

i should point out despite all that it IS a pretty good game if you can get past how desperately it needs more than basic tilesets

>>46147815
is final chapter not considered the true end? i honestly burned out right before it and never did finish even though i had everything lined up

>>46147808
Nice, thx
>>46147815
Is all that additional content actually entertaining or it's some grind shit?

>>46146932
What are the official エロゲスレ-approved slops?

>>46147842
最終章 『扉の伝説』is the "true end".
最終話 『風のつばさ』 is the completionist bonus chapter that contains important story elements.

>>46147850
The side content is not bad but there is just way too much of it. And going over the same areas so many times trying to deal with the flag system is a pain.

To that anon who shared the link to the full Escalation release in the previous thread, thank you.

wait a second, I know this game

>>46140416
>Is Love Plus any good?
It isn't a personal favorite of mine, but I can recommend it if you want to try something different.
On a basic level, it's Tokimeki Memorial, scrubbed with approximately one square mile of sandpaper. It's more generic than its spiritual predecessor, but if you're familiar with that game's mechanics you'll know that that is not entirely a bad thing. You'll never go into a jealous yandere spiral that causes the entire main cast of the game to despise you as a human being in Love Plus.
However, despite being much more smooth and clean than Tokimeki, it's actually quite unique for it's own reasons.
The main gimmick is that when you start the game you enter the real-life current date. The game is turn-based. Each in-game day you get a few turns. One day takes probably about ten minutes to play through on average. Because there are no timeskips, the concept is that you play one in-game day every real life day. This leads to a lot of magical moments. When the seasons change in real life, they change in the game. Is it almost Christmas time in your world? It's Xmas season in Love Plus too. Play it long enough and it can start to feel like your real and virtual lives blend together. It's a really special experience that you can only get from something like Love Plus.
It's also designed in such a way that it never feels like a chore. If you don't feel like playing today, you don't have to. Playing in real time is only a suggestion. You can take a whole week or even a month off and just play multiple in-game days every real life day for a while to catch up. There are a few special tidbits if you play on a specific day like Christmas or Valentines, but they're really small, and even if you miss them you can always adjust your DS's clock to see them.
It's worth mentioning that this game really benefits from emulation because the 3D models are way more detailed than you can normally see on a real DS, so you don't need to buy a copy to get the most out of the game.
Obviously it isn't eroge, so if you aren't really interested in a "pure love" experience you should look elsewhere. And it is a commitment. Seeing everything in just one version of the game can easily take multiple real life years. But if what I've described sounds amazing to you, absolutely give it a shot.
I'd recommend starting with Love Plus+. It's the final version of the first game. It's easy to emulate and inexpensive to import, and it isn't region locked.

>>46148911
Not that anon, but have you played LoveR? Is it the same thing, but only on Switch?

Where were you when AB was kill?

Better get downloading quick if you can still access.

>>46149069
I have never played LoveR, but my understanding is that it is part of the "True Love Series" (which started on PS1 and includes Amagami and Photokano) and has absolutely nothing to do with Love Plus outside of having the same character designer.
It appears to have the same systems and staff as Photokano so I'd expect a very similar experience to that game.
I have played Photokano and I did not enjoy it. I've given it three or four chances but every time I've tried it I've found it very boring. I am in the minority though, it's considered a classic in Japan.

The only other visual novel I'm aware of that offered the Love Plus experience was Idolm@ster 1 (the arcade game). I'm told that before it was shut down, it included a feature where the heroines in the game would text your REAL LIFE CELL PHONE (picrel). Incredible stuff.

Why is this happening? I though the cocksucking process to get in AB existed precisely to prevent this kind of situation.

now I don't feel stupid for hoarding almost 800 gb worth of eroge, downloaded shitton from ab while I still could, got literally everything I was interested in lol

Thinking about the fact that if something is obscure enough to not be on public trackers/DDL sites, it's for a reason (not because it's good or can appeal to more than a single digit of people).

What was the consequence of relying on them then? Did they suddenly change their laws?

>For the all-ages version of “Kimi ga Nozomu Eien” that we’re making for this project, we are planning the following:

> The game will be based on “Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Latest Edition~”. Any modifications to the scenario and presentation made in order to create the all-ages version will be done with an eye towards maintaining story continuity. These modifications will be made by members of the team who worked on the original game, and they will refer to “Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Rumbling Hearts~”, the all-ages PS2 version of the game, in their work. Note that the game will not contain any new images.

>Note that the game will not contain any new images.

Are they just gonna reuse the 2001 art then? Or are they gonna remake the old ones but not add any new CGs?

>>46145820
I don't like non-loli flat girl

>>46151432

>>46151238
They're taking Latest Edition and censoring it using the ps2 script and ps2 CGs. Because they're scared of steam the game will actually be even more censored than the ps2 version and you will need to wait for a directors cut patch.

TL;DR it's just a really bad port of a 20 year old game

>>46151810
Man that can't be right. I like the VN a lot but this feels like a completely wasted opportunity to revive the series.

>>46151931
Literally everything about modern âge(anchor) is fucking retarded so this will read like a shit post but the only reason that crowdfunding project even exists is because Yoshimune has become paranoid the big wigs he sold everything to will decide its no longer worth it to try and generate money out of the IPs.
>Sell to Avex
>Announce 2 muv luv games, 2 muv luvvisual novels, a muv luv anime
>First game releases as a steam early access scam, fails so hard they actually hand the game over to the code monkeys.
>Second game (gacha) fails so hard they have to pull it from stores within 3 days and refund everyone, spend over a year rebooting it. Half a year after launch sales are in the shitter.
>Visual novels enter "development pause" because "we need to focus on rebooting the gacha"
>Anime bombs, they don't even finish the story.
>Anchor CEO is replaced
>Yoshimune starts getting so paranoid he starts drafting up emergency plans with his fucking youtube livestream chat and discord
>The plan becomes to sell overpriced muv luv lore magazines to generate money for visual novel development and to do an all ages Kiminozo kickstarter because "Kiminozo used to be popular and all the zoomer vtubers can't even stream it because the console versions are so rare, there's an opportunity here. We need to show Avex it's not just muv luv that can generate money."
I don't know what office politics actually ended up being like, but when he came up with the plan the idea was that his own company Acid would handle the entire development with kickstarter money, Avex just needed to give approval and they'd be retarded not to since the sales still go to them. Free money.

Honestly the whole thing feels pretty scummy because they DID announce a Kiminozo reboot years ago that entered development hell. The kickstarter isn't that, it's just a port of the old game. I've seen so many posts by both Gaijins and Nips that are utterly confused and actually think they're funding a remake for some fucking reason.

>>46152199
Damn, that's fucked. Thanks for the post though, I get the picture now. Kinda sad that Kiminozo won't get a proper remake.

>>46152369
The thing about Anchor is they never cancel any project because that might deter people from giving them money for shit they don't actually care about. When the Gacha relaunched for example, Yoshimune tweeted that the fate of Resonative and Integrate depend on how well it sells. Go whale so we can make visual novels for you.

>>46152199
I still believe that the people who contributed to the crowdfunding were hoping it would help Resonative and Integrate, more than genuinely wanting a Steam port of Kiminozo.

>>46152199
Doesn't he realize that he's just evaporating whatever goodwill they have left by doing these bonehead decisions? Censorship? Cut content? These never result in good sales.

>>46152823
Most people don't care
just look at the Sorechiru scam reception, even egs tards have eaten it and asked for more

>>46152823
I hate to say this because many years ago I really loved muv luv, but I'm pretty sure the guy is a complete lolcow. There's many examples one could list, but the most recent and "mainstream" one was probably the time Japanese fans were complaining that the MLA anime would be exclusive to the Fuji streaming service and he went on a long and angry livestream rant about how Fuji would never back down on this because they invested a lot of money into the anime and that if you aren't willing to pay the subscription just for the MLA anime, muv luv means less to you than [food analogy]. He landed on Yaraon and everything. Worst part is I'm pretty sure two week later other streaming services were added anyway. Guy had no fucking idea what he was talking about.
If you were to join one of his discord servers to bring up how you think Kiminozo without R18 content is stupid as hell, we will even start arguing with you personally.

>>46152952
I'm not really sure how to feel about the removal of the R18 content. On one hand, Kiminozo has a good story that doesn't need H-scenes to carry it, but on the other hand, the H-scenes are kind of important in giving the novel that raw feel.

>>46152199
>locking Hotaru for everyone except Japanese players
That's pretty funny to be honest.

>>46153270

Is Totono basically just the mother of DDLC?

In games that allow you to change the MC's name, what do you put in? Your name in katakana? Or a Japanese name you made up?
I made up a sort of 当て字 version of my name and use that. (Eg. if my name was Smith, it'd be something like 隅巣 or whatever)

>>46155727
I use the default name if there is one, else I use the usual ハイパー兵器

>>46155727
I drop the game

>>46155727
Like 99% of games are going to just cut the audio if you change it

>>46155783
Good, that helps with self-insertion. It would be cucked if they called you by a different name.

>>46155727
アノン

>>46155727
IDK why but using my own name makes me giga cringe, I just keep it as is

>>46155727
I just leave the default name, i like when the heroines actually use the protagonist name after they become intimate enough

>>46155727
I just use the default name or make up a name that fits the setting if there isn't one. Like 星野 for astronomy themed games or トウヤ for winterge.

>>46153802
Starts as a murder mystery. The storytelling is quite agile, with more dialogue and less narrative. At the start, a defaced dead body is found at the park and he happens to be one the friend's father. The story slowly introduces fantasy elements and the protagonist having visions. Let's say it doesn't end well and then the game plays with going back in time to offer an alternative storyline. It's this kind of development. After each short chapter usually there are some sort of extra materials to investigate, as news and such, that part is nice and unobtrusive to the main story. The story is starting quite strong, with a proper layout of a murder-mystery that for sure will happen to become complex, although didn't find Haruka or the rest of characters to be much interesting if at all. It's a first person narrator, but doesn't go deep into her psyche. I'm just at 7%, so it's too early to make a proper judgement, but so far I'm hooked.

>>46156421
So it's a bootlegrashi? By the way, what is that 字 counter on top?

>>46156564
How much left in a scene

>>46155566
It's the mother of every "what you're doing is bad and you should feel bad" video game.

>>46155727
I usually use katakana, but when there's a character limit I use ateji. Both my first and last name are nouns so my ateji is satisfyingly direct.

If only the guy hired a good moe artist then I'd actually play it. I'm not really into these Portopia or かまいたち style VN.

They need to do Kakyuusei remake first. Would be funny if 2 gets skipped to not risk another moebuta sperg breaking his disc kek

>>46158236
If it got released in the West, would it garner the same outrage?

>>46158286
Westerners are trained to love used goods.

>>46156421
The official website claims that the game has over 170 BGM tracks. I feel like I need to play it just to see if it's actually true

>>46158236
>>46158286
I don't think the Tamaki disaster can ever happen again, everyone knows now.
The only way we could get something similar is if Amakano 3 or a new Yuzusoft game suddenly had full blown ntr h-scenes.

>>46158323
>new Yuzusoft game suddenly had full blown ntr h-scenes.
God I fucking wish.

犬士達ね草

>>46158323
Even in that case it would cause a shitstorm but it wouldn't become as big as the Tamaki disaster. That happened because eroge market was like 10 times bigger than today with almost all the Japanese community being concentrated on 2ch. Nowadays the market is smaller and community is more dispersed in individual bubbles.

>>46156995
Total Gyaru love

Yuzusoft celebrates as Senren Banka sells its 500 thousandth copy.

>>46158976
Can they celebrate by adding surprise NTR into their next VN?

>>46156827
>Both my first and last name are nouns so my ateji is satisfyingly direct
Hm? That phrase suggests that you make a conversion like eg. Will -> 意思. Ateji is about matching sounds, like what I wrote it my post (Smith -> 隅巣 because 隅＝すみ and 巣=す, like スミス).
Though sometimes for some names I guess you could do both, which should be pretty awesome and elegant. Chinks actually try to do something similar for company names... that's getting off-topic but you can look into it.

>>46158065
>What?
It's a custom for sexually confused teenagers in certain "spaces" to overuse some meme phrase and bastardize it in weird ways. What he meant is "it's over".
>>46158880
Gyaru = westoid "beauty" standards, which is precisely the point.
I would only love a gyaru if we got one who doesn't have an exaggerated hag body, has a weaker tan, doesn't have blonde hair/blue eyes combination... but that wouldn't be a gyaru at all.

>>46159079
Your life must be full of anger.

>>46158323
>Amakano 3
Wouldn't be surprised, they already have ugly hag art, so it would be just a little step-up in degeneracy.

I , for one, would love seeing yuzufags seething after some good surprise NTR and posting pictures of their broken games on x(formerly twitter)

>>46156995

What eroge (or eroge companies that tend to make stuff like that) have the weakest mosaics? Also, are there eroge/companies that use bars instead of mosaic a la eromanga?

Yeah, you're right, I mixed up 当て字 and 和訳.
I worked pretty hard to get it as close as I could though, I managed to keep a few syllables. It was important to me that in games like the Cation series where the girls say your nickname with voice acting I would always be a まーくん.
I'm happy you pointed out my mistake because it made me read the Japanese Wikipedia article on ateji and it answered questions I'd had for years about the language. I already knew about ones like 珈琲 but I had no idea that 可愛い, 馬鹿, 滅多, and 滅茶苦茶 were all ateji.

I though ages can be mentioned when characters are hags.

>>46164870
Yeah I was referring to the students.

>>46164877
They are at least 18 according to vndb. Maybe it's because of drinking age which is higher, idk.

Modern entertaiment is so garbage is easier to make old shit again rather than putting the effort and make something new, but not without taking a shit in the old thing first.
They are going to remove anything "problematic" from the script

medirin started competing with sofurin in 2003 which caused them to gradually remove some of their rules

>>46165622
Good to know. What's baffling to me is why doujin game creators censor ages even though they don't have to. I guess they are still afraid of backlash.

Do I need to read old crystalia games before reading the new one?

>>46165816
Site said you don't and I don't have any trouble following along without having played the previous ones

>>46165816
The new Crystalia has glossary entries for most of the concepts and important characters/families from previous games, so you can start there without missing too much.

>>46165824
Yeah but what if they have a scene like in tenshi re-boot where they go to the D.D. diner and enjoy a nice cyberburger?

>>46165830
I'm not saying you'll get everything, of course. If you need to catch every little reference for some reason, better start at mekuiro.

quick question, on seiya-saiga are you supposed to do the routes from left-to-right and top-to-bottom? then what do I do in picrel? The column tops don't align with each other. Do I do A (left-most) or B (top-most) first after finishing the top row?

>>46166099
Theirs is based on CD Plus. The decensoring broke animations and to fix the clipping they altered CGs. The screenshot of a dude getting virus alerts must've downloaded the English CDP from ryuu because NN use auto-updaters that track pirates and that triggers AVs. Japanese CDP is safe.

The difference between Plus and original CD is only animated H-scenes. The new scenes from Plus can be added with an official patch to original CD. Clover Day's is shit and not worth reading.

>>46166283
Even if it's not worth reading, are the animated scenes worth a fap?

Chinese voices have to be "monotone" because if they change the tone of their speech it completely fucks up their tone-based language, so the only way for Chinks to express their emotion is to talk louder (for music they always have to have subs). Another reason why Chinese is the worst and most unhuman language, though at least it helped shape the best and most human language (Japanese).

>>46167751
I guess Unravel Trigger since those dude won moe game award with their last game.
In my opinion Teikan no Eve Bethel will also be big, because they're promising 40 characters and 300 unique CGs.

Eroge companies should have Filipinos as part of their staff. Who knows what wonderful insights they can add to eroge narrative.

>>46167751

>Subahibi - there is no meaning, live and pretend to be happy

Does he deal with the question posed by Subahibi in his later works? Is there a simple motto I can use to understand them?

What's with the sudden troon speak flooding these threads?

>>46167772
I don't see Kai no Kiseki and notSuikoden 6
>>46167751
Anemoi and Unravel Trigger will probably do some of the best sales this year for a vn, if that's what you call big.

Anyone remember the let's player that finished Umineko and then started doing Subahibi but ended up trooning out and deleting everything? I think it might have pushed him over the edge. Genuinely a damaging work of "art".

>>46167573
I think the MC is the guy.

Looks like it's Kamidori prequel set during the civil war that was constantly referenced in Kamidori.

>>46168002
Yeah, Umineko is dangerous to impressionable minds.

>>46168069
I think Umineko is good, but I agree that it can be dangerous for someone who thinks the mental illness of the "LITERALLY ME SO VALID" character (for them) is to be celebrated, not cured.

>>46167567
Looks like Fleurety's artist only designed 1 girl this time. I don't think becoming one of the artist for HoloID increases that artist value that much that Eushully can't afford them anymore. Right?

Real games are indeed slop. If you aren't reading eroge and anything Japanese at a higher level in general, you're some uncultured mongoloid. That's why westoids are obsessed with wasting their life playing stupid shit and learning nothing.

don't get your mind blown when you find out most eroge are slop to generate easy money from a bunch of semi-illiterate retards

Oh 神々(Gods) I'm glad AB is dead, I understand wanting to gatekeep third world leeches but ridiculous giga-autistic sekrit clubs should not exist. And anyway, if no one bothered sharing an eroge on public sites it's most of the time because it's too shit or giga-niche.

>>46170052
>media illiterate
I'm literate in non slop, i.e. VN only.

>>46170085
t. the first in a row to ask for ab reuploads

>>46170073
Yes, nukige are all slop that waste your time, but non-nuki eroge are mostly very soulful

>>46170085
I'll make it my mission to bring down the next version of the private epic reddit tracker.

>>46170052
So true! I love subverting and deconstructing things like you see in intelligant media like books and avant-garde music!

>>46170073
VNs teaching people to not be a nihilistic, pessimistic retard like the general subhuman nowadays is not slop.

>>46170112
And yet you are somehow the most pessimistic retard in this thread

>>46170125
His post doesn't seem pessimistic though. There really are VNs fighting with the pessimism of this world.

>>46170139
Endlessly complaining about random meaningless shit and being negative about everything isn't any better, samefag

>>46170125
Pretending pessimism isn't widespead nowadays among the weak aka. "subhumans" is delusional. If you're always negative, you are weak and frankly less than a human. VNs that fight pessimism is empowering as much as some find that notion cringe.

>ridiculous giga-autistic sekrit clubs should not exist.
This thread's existence after >2020 is prove that they should.

They are both okinawan but Komari didnt spend time training under the sun

Really funny right? the "ultra secret club" fell earlier than public ones, when the entire point of "secret clubs" was to not let undesirable people in

finished 新説魔法少女. fantastic fucking game.
i say finished but i still have some challenge maps, a parallel world NG+, and the omake left to play around with but i put in about 80 hours into this sucker in the last week and a half so i think it's break time

extremely well paced, engaging all the way through, gameplay and story tightly tied together, likeable characters (even if some of them are comically shitty people), surprisingly well-thought out and also explored setting, solid gameplay that didn't reinvent the wheel but had enough of its own identity to be memorable and also difficult enough to keep me constantly on my toes. haven't been that invested in a story in a long time. i caught myself imagining little vignettes during gameplay, like friends swooping in to save each other or having someone avenge her fallen friend. probably the first time i've ever choked up to a skill cutscene. there were so many places where they could have dropped the ball or gone stupid and they simply didn't. they had several opportunities to fuck up and pull their punches and instead they stuck to their guns. i leave extremely satisfied and with a warm afterglow in my heart.

the following are complaints added more for balance than out of any real dissatisfaction: needed some more lighthearted music tracks. some battle music loops poorly and is only like 1-2 minutes long so on those 45 min/1 hour long maps it starts driving you crazy. i wish some of the side characters had gotten proper arcs but given the size of the cast it would likely have doubled an already lengthy game. kotone in particular felt really undercooked for how many other people orbited her. the disk 2 squad kind of hijacked things while many disk 1 characters still didn't have a lot going on. there's about 3 points where it feels like the end is nigh and then it keeps going and coupled with the length of the last half dozen battles it got exhausting.

but overall it was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. time to gag myself before i sing another round of praises.
tl;dr it's good shit, play it
telomere is a miracle of the known universe

>>46170217
Wow their domain has died, can't believe they could manage to fall so low

>>46170085
Weren't the admins ultra EOPs who'll take down a lot of Japanese only content or something? A dead westoid is a good westoid. Nothing of value was lost.

>>46170253
no that never was the case

I mean this in the rudest way possible, you have to actually have single digit IQ to fail AB's """""interview""""". The whole thing boils down to "are you retarded", "will you seed", and "do you actually enjoy anime, etc.". Aside from that you literally do not have to participate in a single cancerous, circlejerk-like ritual for any reason whatsoever. Anyone who hates AB is the complete embodiment of Aesop's Fox

>>46170277
I will not abandon my torrent client.

>>46170277
You don't even need to upload anything since yens are extremely easy to farm just by downloading free animes

>>46170277
dont care never even bothering with interview nonsense

>>46170277
The reason I don't have an AB anymore is because I forgot to log in kek. Happened to me 2 or 3 times I think. Stop bothering after that.

>>46170277
I got in over a decade ago by saying I like Madoka
I have no idea if the people complaining are that new, I'm not saying they have to be because I don't want to perpetuate the cycle, but I can't imagine people complaining if the criteria stayed the same throughout the years.

>>46170277
Anyone who seeds is the complete embodient of the Untermensch.

>>46170217
The "undesirable person" was actually the retarded mentally unstable admin himself, from what I hear.
>>46170253
I think that was BakaBT? Though I've heard that they don't even allow VNs (or other software) at all.

>>46170237
>tl;dr it's good shit, play it
Alright bub, adding it to my growing collection of eroge I will never be able to play in my lifetime.

>>46170277
>Interview that only opens once every blue moon
>Fail
Also AB is dead, their gatekeeping failed

>>46170277
But how do you actually get that interview in the first place without having connections or doing some insane "grind" and "climbing the ladder"?

>>46170361
You don't. It's just a circlejerk ""sekrit"" club

>Indie
>Unvoiced
>All ages
No, I don't think I will play that bloated magical girl "game".

>>46170436
There isn't any "circle" there though, i haven't communicated with a single person from there in all those years as there is no need to

>>46170453
None of those matter.
The actual significant flaw is female protagonist. Not touching that shit.

To be honest AB is a pretty bad source when it comes to eroge. Yes it has an expansive collection but most of the time it's just the game itself. The first press preorder bonus and other extra patches are missing more often than not. I wish I am kidding but if you can find the eroge you want on anime-sharing filesharing section those tend be better since they tend to include the patches, cracks, and preorder bonuses most of the time.

It's also horrible for archival purposes, they don't accept rar archives they require the unpacked isos/mds/cue and there's no standardization of filenames so if you're downloading from there you're stuck with a bunch of randomly named disc images and folders that you can't really rename since you need to seed.

>>46170485
You can rename stuff from your torrent client, あのんちゃん

>>46170485
I'm pretty sure 95% of the games i downloaded had all the patches in them, and sometimes there could even be a patch that wasn't available anywhere else before (like kishin hishou w10 patch)

Do you think that in 5 years we'll have AI to reassemble VNs to be playable on Linux and Android, and also to strip any spyware/malware, and convert Jewnityslop to normal engines?

>>46170472
What's your problem with female protags? Are you incapable of empathy without self-insertion?

>>46170537
Women can't be as cool as men.

>>46170542
Well, to me 萌 or cuteness is more important than "coolness".
As a side note, it's a bit off-topic, but I recently stopped using the word "cool" (outside of quoting, obviously) upon learning of the dark (heh) origins of the word.

>>46170542
if it changes your mind slightly, the MC's introduction is that she put 5 other girls in the hospital after slicing them up with glass shards from the window they put her head through
she's pretty fun, if not traditionally cool

>>46170472
You are missing out on the kino that is king exit/demons roots
