Is this a VN aimed at 餓鬼???

>>46931418
Dunno. This vn has a lot of furigana, which sometimes makes me uncomfortable reading it.

Distracting.

Does anyone else have dreams (as in when sleeping) related to VNs?

She's the only one that looks like she could be a highschooler compared to literally everyone else

boys, what if there's an H scene coming but I'm not in the mood for masturbation

I've met an unlikely roadblock in my progress

i'm still fucking seething about how wasted fleurety was on this game
they made perfection and they did NOTHING with her

https://www.gematsu.com/2024/05/aquaplus-teases-new-toheart-and-utawarerumono-projects-coming-in-2025

>>46932753
Assuming it's one you want to jerk it to, just wait until you're horny a little later.

>>46932832
I'm not getting that horny lately so that could be days from now and I want to continue the story. Is it unpure to skip the H scene?

>>46932753
Skip
Read later
Or just skip and dont read

>>46932801
Well, Lilica is the main heroine, not Fleurety. Of course, they did nothing to her. I like all the heroines; they each have their own charm.

>>46932753
You are just a lizard that is controlled by your spinal cord so that might happen once in a while. Like everyone else.
Just read and appreciate the love and companionship without jerking off for this time around.

>>46933177
nah fuck WA3. they should let the series die a dignified death. a new WA3 would probably be all ages anyway so idk why you would want that.

>>46933271
OS and consoles are just platforms for running Japanese art (games) on top, and they could in theory be exchanged with a platform made by the Japanese without changing the art (games) themselves. AI "art" IS entirely based on westoid algorithms in and on itself, because you're talking about art, not platforms. Though the main problem is not that it's westoid, but that it's an algorithm. Algorithms will never have human soul and True moe regardless by whom they're created.

>>46933263
Sir, the definition of "cute" is directly related to youthfulness. So unless you have a damaged brain, lolis will be magnitudes cuter to hags.
Though hags as depicted in Japanese art often still have elements of neoteny, so they're still cuter than what a true hag would look like (3DPD etc)...

>>46933330
This thread truly cant catch a break
Obligatory talk about how eroge despite being so niche and the untranslated ones being even more so 1 single cancer is enough to entirely shit up a really small community

>>46933354
It went downhill with digital trash anyway. True soul's forever lost and I'd much rather have AI corrected art than the artist making mistakes and mangling up body anatomy

>>46933409
That sounds similar to the MTL argument of "even if you learn Japanese you can't get the full experience if you haven't been born in Japan".

>>46933354
>human soul
>boobs that look like they were pasted onto the body
>manly collarbone
If that's true moe you must be into traps

>>46933409
>AI corrected
you can't fix a lack of soul with soulless algorithms. it's a false dichotomy.
digital is just a technique, it's entirely irrelevant to the existence or lack of soul. meaningless mechanistic "effort" on a non-digital medium doesn't make something more soulful by default, see c*bism or other westoid so-called art.

>>46933409
>trash
Speaking of it, >>>/vg/.

>>46933420
Not seeing the similarity.

>>46933432
It doesn't really matter if you automate the process with manual mouse movements and photoshop or training and typing a keyword. The result's the same.
>soulless algorithm
>digital is just a technique
either all digital stuff is soulless, or none of it is.
either AI is also a technique or digital isn't.
I fail to see the difference (besides complexity of the software used) as both are steered with digital aid.

>>46933409
>digital trash
Hello, ironyweeb. Your kind is not welcome here. True otaku know the value of their own medium and would never call it trash.

>>46933149
the story was absolutely begging for an evil route and she would have been the perfect one for it, it just felt like wasted story potential and a waste of a fantastic design and VA
i was also disappointed, but not surprised, they normalified lilica
such is the fate of all main heroines

>>46933450

Lazy defeatist mentality of "if you can't achieve perfection, why bother?"

do we know if the muramasa sequel project got shelved?

>>46933564
Pretty safe to assume it has been. Not that they were ever planning to make anything other than a shitty cashgrab anyways.

What is this expression supposed to convey?

>>46933330
Oh you're right, that makes sense. All the crap with Mashifoni also started when it was translated

>>46933540
Eh, defeatist mentality wasn't the point, just that its pointless to talk about soul when we long lost soul in favor of digital. Its just shitposting over which software is acceptable - silly thing, considering people accepted PS which is full of AI -esque solutions and shortcuts.
if I had to liken it to something it'd be arguing over which MTL service is better - at the end of the day its all MTL and accuracy should be the only relevant metric. I.e "if it looks good and can't be told apart, then who cares"

>>46933606
oh she's a cutie

>>46933606
Noa...

>>46933634
the sana guy has been posting long before that

>>46933634
not the same guy

>>46933467
Yes her design is pure sex. I wonder why they don't add other routes like they did in the past games. The evil route should begin with Lilica's death, with her soul failing to return to her normal body

>>46933606
Dunno, the artist always draws the same face.

>>46933680
>>46933692
It was just one schizo, literally no one gave a shit about it, but magically it has been quite relevant since it was translated

>>46933661
>we long lost soul
Please go spread your wisdom to your fellow westoids who want to make everything into generic AI garbage. Only self-admittedly soulless people can think this.

>>46933736
>literally no one gave a shit about it
That's mean to Sana. Surely someone cared about her before her game got *****lated.

>>46933634
>when it was translated
>>46933661 thinks MTL is fine so I don't think he cares about translation. If he can't tell the difference, it's all the same.

>>46933782
it's true though, pre-digital was better and it was a soul downgrade

I guess you just haven't been to this thread since before it was translated then.

>>46933661
>which software is acceptable
Software that doesn't take over the creative process from you and reduce it to be a result of predetermined inputs. It's all in the name "A"I". Considering westoids don't believe in sour or intellect, for them it's the same thing because they willingly downgraded themselves into a 'language model".

With the recent surge of "AI" tools it was inevitable that people would start using them. This can be a divisive subject given that art is an essential part of visual novels.

On one hand, I can understand the need of some developers without enough resources like money that are in a difficult situation to pay someone to make art for them and bring their visions to life.

However, there's also the concern that AI-generated art could be used as a shortcut to bypass quality standards. Some might use these tools as a quick and easy way to churn out content without investing the necessary effort into refining and polishing their creations. I think a lot of these people simply don't have respect for the medium and just want to put out content to make a quick buck and I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't even into the medium before this. These people think AI is an easy solution and not just a tool to assist them.

You've probably seen here some people post their AI generated art for their projects, which have received negative reception but I've seen some people that can't recognize the many glaring errors they have, thinking it's only a matter of style but no, they go much further than that and I would like to present two explained examples:

>>46933971
AI is a super powerful tool, we shouldnt entirely dismiss it. having a model with tons of data from one artist could be extremely useful for an artist or a studio. imagine how much less work that would be for say, a storyboarder for an animated series.. your story boarding artist can make extremely poor quality scribbles to depict a scene, or hell the director could draw out stick figures for a scene he has in mind and the AI would generate the scene based off the lead artists style. the lead artist is still employed by the studio and is the lead on the project, the model wouldnt be public, it would be property of either the lead artist or the studio (depending on how would play out legally) but now they dont have to meticulously draw out every single story board frame during just the writing process of an animated series before they even get down to the nitty gritty of drawing and animating the actual scenes. There are real uses for this tech and people just dismiss it, it just needs to be regulated and used in an ethical way when producing something that you're going to sell to people.

>Thread is now getting raided by bots

You first allow Magpie screenshots and discussion, then it devolves into AI art/MTL apologism, and then it ends with literal AI posts.
The slippery slope is real.

>>46934043
MTLbro, this is not real Japanese text.

>>46934051
>AI art/MTL apologism
AI, particularly models like ChatGPT AI, can be a valuable tool for creating Japanese visual novels. These AI models excel in generating consistent and meaningful content over extended periods, making them ideal for crafting engaging narratives and dialogues in visual novels. By leveraging the natural language processing skills of AI, developers can efficiently generate dialogue, character interactions, and plotlines, enhancing the overall storytelling experience in Japanese visual novels. Additionally, AI can assist in creating branching storylines and character development, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. Overall, AI serves as a powerful tool for streamlining the creative process and enhancing the quality of Japanese visual novels.

>>46934070

>muh AI is soulless
>muh magpie bad

The concern about the loss of soul in art is a valid one, as the human touch and emotional depth that artists bring to their work are integral to its impact and resonance. However, AI technology can actually help address this issue by offering new tools and capabilities that complement human creativity in art creation.
Moving towards using more AI technology in visual novels can open up new possibilities for storytelling and artistic expression. AI models can help creators explore complex narrative structures, create dynamic character arcs, and engage with audiences in unique ways. By incorporating AI into the creative process, artists can push the boundaries of traditional storytelling and infuse their work with fresh perspectives and creativity. While the integration of AI in art creation may raise concerns about the loss of soul, when used thoughtfully and in conjunction with human creativity, AI can actually enhance the emotional depth and authenticity of artistic endeavors. By embracing AI technology as a tool to augment and amplify human expression, creators can navigate the balance between innovation and soulful storytelling in visual novels, ultimately enriching the artistic landscape and engaging audiences in new and compelling ways.

There will inevitably come a time when we'll have publically-available advanced BCI tech that will be able to connect to these generative models, enabling them to use the person's creative spark or "soul" to quickly create the masterpieces that the person would otherwise need years to realize.
I will then kidnap Masada and plug him in so we finally get Avesta and a Dies Irae anime.

>>46934325

>>46934418
>generative models
>enabling them to use the person's creative spark or "soul"
Only a soulless westoid thinks this. Soul is ineffable by nature and no shortcuts exist to fake soulfulness in art even in theory.

>>46931466
Surely there must be a way to turn it off.

>>46934418
>quickly create the masterpieces
Westoidbro... did you even read (not MTL) Dies irae? Its themes go against this message.

>>46934436
No, we should invite more collaborations between artists and their respective technologies, cultures, and worldviews. AI is a great tool for building bridges.

has anyone read this? is it true that it's not as good as 金色ラブリッチ?

>>46934505

>>46934702
>Jun is another of Yuuma's close friends. Jun is most notably known for being a self-defined female. She takes being a girl very seriously and desires acceptance among other girls. However, she needs not worry, as the girls at her school treat her as they would any other girl, even allowing her to change clothes with them. She has the desire to date Yuuma himself, but Yuuma, being unable to view her as a female like the girls, strongly refuses. Jun adores hanging around other girls and doesn't take her girlfriend's acceptance of her lightly.
This is so revolutionary and accepting!

>>46934756

funny how easy it's to identify when someone has no knowledge at all about the medium eh

>>46934808
That's still only double-digit. Fairly niche. And combined with the tag "Only Virgin Heroines" (closest thing to a "moege" tag since the original point was that "josou homo sex in moege is pretty normal"), there's exactly 1 entry, of the 2500+ that exist in general.

why settle for kinkoi when you could have kindan no koi

>>46934505
It's different from kinkoi cause it doesn't really try to destroy you emotionally like kinkoi does, but still was enjoyable read for me. Worse h, better story lol.

it's so weird to me that there are actually people out there trying to play just rance x skipping absolutely every previous game

you are in the minority then
absolutely any self-respecting eroge fan has already played it

>>46936748
do you have any genuine complaints you can formulate or are you just spouting off contrarian opinions hoping it'll trigger someone (it did: me)

Is this a reference to something? It feels like a reference.

>>46937123
nah it's just your imagination

>>46932827
I should get around to reading ToHeart2...

>>46936062
I've tried Happiness couple months ago. It definitely has a lot of sovl as expected of an eroge from that era but it definitely isn't that good either. Windmill's later eroges are more interesting and better than this so for example I recommend Witch's Garden. You can just dip your toes and try it but I definitely recommend other more notable titles from 00's like Fortune Arterial that another anon said or other classics.

>>46937450
P.S. Sumomo is still cute though.

>>46937450
Witch's Garden looks super cute I might go with that rec next

Are there any real girls that would read this sort of shit?

>>46938576

>>46938582
Your braindead slang is not real or "basic" English.

>>46938590
but I mean, on purpose and for pleasure, a born female with the hobby of reading jap vns in her free time. Does that exist?

>>46938576
the last time i looked up the "more the seven heroines" tag apparently i failed to specify heroines and about two thirds of what came up was otome games
so i'm gonna go with yes

>>46938644
>She probably have read more moege than most posters here
Quantity doesn't matter when one doesn't understand the true essence, soul, and values of moege. Which she doesn't because she reads otome and BL, which are incompatible with moege.

>>46938692
why didn't you look up the word chad since you're so obsessed with it and everyone who uses it even when no one does? we both know why. but that doesn't matter, my point about ignoring still stands

>>46938727
you've already proved you don't read moege either so if you could just do us all a favor and shut the fuck up that would be great

>>46938644
Holy shit she reads way more than I do. I really need to improve my attention span. Also I appreciate that she reads otome and BL as well so I can expect her to have a broad perspective.

>>46938528

>>46938921
trans representation is very popular in vns, you would know that if you read vns

>>46938942
A double-digit amount of non-josou focused VNs with trap routes is not "very popular".

I know that but what does that have to do with my question?

>>46938961
>I know that but what does that have to do with my question?
if your a real vn reader you cant discriminate against trans ppl because the message of most vns is acceptance of sexual diversity and trans ppl (you would know that if you read vns instead of spamming all day)

>>46938921
>How would you know that is a REAL girl and not some mentally ill tranny?
No direct confirmation, but these 2 are pretty telling:

-got into medium by reading female oriented VNs(otome) and then expanded into moege
-is not interested in yuri, not a single yuri game played and from latest wonderfool review I got impression she maybe even dislikes it(compained that common route focused on interaction between girls(without mc) too much)

So, yes, very high chances that she is real girl and not even gay one.

>>46939081
>not interested in yuri
Incredibly based. I will take her reviews very seriously now.

>>46939107
Is it even a real VN if it doesn't have Chads you can jack off to?

>>46939133
Even our Ancient Greeks loved masculine beauty. It was normal for our ancestors.

>>46939081
I want to believe.

>>46939168
Otome and BL slop are literally aimed and read by 3DPD females. What is there to not believe?

when you get over a certain amount of shit read, you just read everything
newfags can't get it yet

Sayooshi worth reading? Is the plot good?

>>46934951
I've never finished this game but looking at the translator's history on vndb and seeing that he trooned out after translating this game was hilarious as shit

>>46939238
So much knowledge about that translator, curious

>>46939229
It's not the game you read for "plot". If you're interested in MC, then read it. And yes, it's good. Routes are repetitive, but you should read all 5 to get full picture.

Just when you thought this general couldn't get any worse now there are actual talk about 3DPD fujos on internet
Surely it can't get any worse than this right?

>>46939185
>you can't reread good things you've already read, you have to consume everything like a pig eating everything on the ground
Said like a true contrived novelty-starved faggot who probably thinks a vague spoiler "ruins" a game.

>>46941252
What’s a good first otomege to experience the medium?

That’s normal. I find otomege plus moege a more interesting combination. I wonder how they experience moege when it’s harder to self-insert.

>>46941312
>self-insert
They can't because 3DPD do not have souls.

>>46941312
They can just self inself as the heroines the same way I self insert as otome LIs.

Out of nowhere, a Kao no Nai Tsuki remake has been announced.

so masshiroiro symphony is the best moege of all time, noted

>>46941518
i only played the original a little bit but im pretty excited for this, hopefully the voice cast isnt a downgrade if they decide to change it
also the art looks a bit more 'moe' style, not sure if i like it more, though its obviously higher quality

>>46941518
Mmh... The original art was much better, but we'll have to see what comes out of it. Incredibly unexpected announcement anyway

>>46941986
>the art looks a bit more 'moe' style
Oh my science, that's literally artistic genocide. Hopefully we can use AI to add more artistic diversity to the remake and also make the sole v*rgin heroine a based non-virgin Woman representative of realistic values.

It feels weird that this video game remake/remaster trend has already established itself in this medium, but I'm not going to complain. Doukyuusei 2 is another very welcome example

>>46942147
when you don't want to take risk but want quick cash that's unfortunately the go-to strategy, hollywood has been doing this for quite some time, nips have been doing it to a much smaller extent over time but it's been picking up traction in recent years

>>46942193
i believe it's called a fingernail

>>46942184
Wrong

>>46941986
>>46942091

This is Carnelian's current style, so it looks different from the original style.

I hope this lead to a remake of the second Root's title.

I would have liked remakes more if they changed some scripts at least a little, cutting some bad parts.

>>46942279
Yeah, I mean it's not "bad", but carnelian had a very distinctive and more classic style before. I guess having to make an illustration for higher resolutions in a different way affects the linework, shading, etc
>I hope this lead to a remake of the second Root's title
That would be cool

>>46942147
You can't escape cancer would be my theory, it already infected videogames, cinema and anime because zoomers are retarded, so i have no idea how the fuck it managed to leak into eroge

What was the first remake of an eroge? I guess based on sales and reception you could draw some conclusions

>>46942268
What is she trying to convey?

>>46942435
The game most people know as Little Princess (1987, the first Alice Soft game) is actually a remake of a 1986 game called さらわれた美樹ちゃん which was published in the PC-8801 game magazine LEMONADE.
They use the same graphics, but Little Princess makes a number of gameplay and story changes. More information:
https://w.atwiki.jp/gcmatome/pages/6638.html

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if there were one or two earlier remakes than that, but there can't be that many.

man i really wasn't feeling Heartium at the start, felt like a basic fire emblem fangame with hardly any identity of its own and worst of all, barely any good banter. didn't help that it was the exact same mechanics as FE and suffered from the same rush of "i have fought alongside you for contrived reasons and so now i guess i'll follow you into repeated mortal danger because i've got nothing else going on?" party members
also if you're going to give everyone periodic table of elements last names at least mention them in the story instead of hiding them all in the character bios

but ever since ch 12 or so it finally kicked into gear, characters got some room to breathe, the banter came back, and the last arc was great
>generic portrait no-name soldier gets embroiled into protagonist party shenanigans
