Is Castle Fantasia 2 obscure enough? I fucking love that game. It's a turn based strategy game kinda like Fire Emblem but with Eroge at the end if you try to pick up one of the female characters and sexy females all around.
The game kept randomly crashing though. sometimes after 10 mins, sometimes after a few hours.... wonder if there's already a fix for that

Usual how? In personality? I'm reacting to the the girls in the image just being a bunch of boring looking schoolgirls with no noticible traits. What sort of game is it? I'm judging them assuming they are heroines.

>> No.26314428

>>26310572
It's a romance/drama/slice of life bishoujo game. Most of the heroines can be compared to standard character tropes of that genre, but they are still pretty distinct from them in certain ways. Maybe because the author is a woman, drawing ideas from sources other than the usual ones?
>Kanata
Main heroine, speaks very cryptically, unpredictable and headstrong, showing up and leaving as she likes
>Hibiki
Is histrionic/insane; forces the protagonist to buy her a new cell phone upon first meeting him (even though they both know that he didn't break hers) and is basically demanding all the time, illiterate but still writes the protagonist long text messages every night, believes literally anything anyone tells her (some guy she just met said that here was a panda at the train station and she went looking for it), shouts "chiGAu yo!!!" or cries when upset although she's an adult woman who wears makeup and everything
>Mifu
Has a wheelchair, likes flowers and children's books which is probably pretty normal
>Nayu
Has poofy hair (seldom seen in anime), college student and not a high school student, and avant-garde art aficionado
>Tamaki
Got bullied by all her classmates and was separated from them on a school trip, so I think she's homeless? Got conned into laboring as a slave at this shop selling "magical/mythical" items which she treasures and believes are real, talks/thinks very slowly lagging behind the others in group conversations, I guess she is a Rei clone but she looks like a boy

>it takes a great deal of effort
Not really, it happens over time as you get used to drawing, make simplifications, gain skill, start to favor other things. And that's if you're limited enough to draw in one style to begin with. Having a style is like being only able to do one voice, you're trash. You should at the least be able to copy/parody others' styles if not having a few you draw in yourself.
