Yes, named その光その翼～アザトースの遺産～

Also to answer the question there >>10538366
Since it's the first game out of 3 you can't really judge it yet, this first part just introduced the admittedly very interesting setting.
Honestly I thought the pacing was off at time and the game ended up being far too long for what it was, the characters are nice though and the writing is pretty good for a doujin game.
But the art is the best things about it, all the characters have an ungodly amount of Tachi-e all beautiful, you have stuffs like a character picking an object and you actually see it in their hand.
The artist really did an amazing job.

I don't know if it will reaches JQV level to me but at least I hope shit will hit the fan in an epic way in the following chapters, it has the setting for it.
But personally 蟲ノ目 impressed me more for a recent doujin game.

I'll try that. Kara no SHoujo, I tried it, it's a Trial and Error kind of game.

YU-NO is the best mystery VN. Read that.

The other Innocent Grey games are even worse in that areas, none of them have a good mystery anyways.

Try this, it's a 30 minutes long mystery game you actually have to solve

The genre shift is that, despite everything hinting to it, there's no genre-shift.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538583
Maybe if, you know, companies were actually releasing good games, people wouldn't be saying that the industry is dying. But instead it's just the same thing every month, a bunch of generic eroge with forgettable characters or settings, or it's poorly written.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538614
I like generic eroge but my opinion is probably in the minority so don't mind me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538614
I'm pretty much the same as >>10538617 but if all the games were good then wouldn't people just ask for even better games?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538617
I know that there are people that like generic eroge, and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. But when somebody says the industry is dying it's just like, yeah, no kidding. 10 formulaic high school harems each month is not going to breath life into the industry.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538631
This is not something that's exclusive to eroge. By your logic the LN-industry should be in shambles.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538642
Many other industries as well for that matter.

2012 is a shit year, no wonder people think it's dying.
Hopefully this year would be better.

>>10538642
LN novels are the equivalent of the trashy novel industry in the west. And both industries rely on people spewing out the same formulaic, crap with a new and exotic twist.

Isn't this true for all industries? Once you find a working concept you stick to it until people get tired of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538642
Hardly. The LN market is huge. Many series sell over 100k copies a volume, and the barrier to entry is only about 500 yen. The eroge industry isn't that big, and has been shrinking.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10538663

Some Japanese computer magazine used to publish a monthly chart, but I forgot its name.

Since then the big stores put charts online, but I forgot their names.

I linked these to someone about a year ago.

No, but if people come to expect it, then they never tire of it. When people come to expect better, when someone breaks the tradition, that is when things begin go downhill.

Been playing Danganronpa. Do I need to put much thought into choosing who to spend time with, what presents to give etc.
Because that's kind of annoying and the skills don't seem to be very useful anyway.

Well apparently はるまで、くるる only sold 2,900 copies.
It was no 17 on the sales ranking here: http://www.getchu.com/pc/salesranking201204.html
We could infer that everything below it sold less than 2900 copies

No, the game is perfectly doable without skills, just spend time with the characters you like.

Finished Oretsuba including Kouda route.

I have to say I was really impressed how well the setting and characters were done. I don't think I've had such great time reading something that doesn't rely on (overly complicated) plot twists/devices or drama before. Chapter 4 and beginning of Kobato route had me in tears.

Was also happy the game wasn't afraid of including girls without a route. It's happened to me too many times before in game where you have a route for every girl but in the end I only end up caring for one or two, if even that. Kouda was pushing it though so I'm happy they included her a route, even if there are sadly no H-scenes. Kazuma was also such a great character.

One thing that bothered me a little is how it seems the whole thing was made with the fandisk in mind. Apart Kouda route and maybe Takashi routes the game really left me wanting for more. About to dive into the fandisk in a moment so as long as the routes leave me satisfied I'm not really complaining.

Glad I decided to read read Kouda's route before the fandisk because how much it hurt seeing Asuka in that route. Goddamn

[Anonymous No.]

>>10540084
How I wished the fandisk had added routes aside from adters and side stories. A Kinako route for Shuusuke, and mayb e throw a bone to Karura and have a route with him, should be hilarious at least.

>and mayb e throw a bone to Karura and have a route with him, should be hilarious at least
Imagine Karura route with Takauchi as heroine

[Anonymous No.]

>>10540127
Takeuchi is meant for cosplay sex with Takashi from the moment she got obsessed with being moe.
Karura needs a woman like Tamahiyo to set him straight, going by the fandisk.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10540100
I would've like a Eriko route for Shuusuke. There was that hilarious part where you can choose her as his ideal girl and they just stare at each other like they're weighting each other, then they all joke and tsukkomi, then they keep staring at each other.
Also yeah Karura needs more love (paradoxically?)

[Anonymous No.]

>>10540084
How about Miyako route?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10540235
What about her route? To be honest I wouldn't have minded if she didn't have one. Then again it was short and had some interesting scenes. Personally did not care for the character and to be honest I'm glad they dropped her route for the fandisk.

>>10540145
>I would've like a Eriko route for Shuusuke.
Yeah this would've been probably quite interesting, at least compared to a route for Kinako. Kinako didn't really seem that interesting character to me, even a Yoneda route would've probably been more interesting for Shuusuke, however that would've worked.

Anyway started the fandisk now, glad to see the main characters are fully voiced now. Although it's not a big deal, would've liked if they had fully voiced everyone in the main game, apart from Kobato route and H-scenes.

A good way to estimate sales figures is to multiply TG by 10 and add it to PUSH. It's not accurate but it's going to be near it.

For example for MajikoiS:
(4191 x 10) + 59,272 = 101,182

[Anonymous No.]

>>10541870
How much do producers make off one full priced unit? Getchu sells a full game for about \8,680 so for MajikoiS it made a little less than $9.5mil? That doesn't sound bad for an eroge.

I would buy my favorite eroge for $50-$70 (assuming they drop prices so they don't have to deal with middle men and the fact that you get bonuses with your purchase) if I could use something like steam. My money straight to the developer's hands, like it should be.

He is suggested to be capable but the fact he slept with all four of them in the beginning seem to be out of play with how he acts during school (a whimper). I was really hoping for more of a swagger type (like say, playful like Yuuji in Grisaia) thus dialogue not really upto my expectation.

It's usually recommended to read Amane's last (both endings) as it connects best to Meikyuu's Grand Route.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10548189
Look fine I guess, be aware that Sakaki's is like a downgraded version of Makina's, and that Makina's and Amane's are the most "plot-relevant" routes. Makina's also includes more Yuuji's background material.

I read Makina's and Amane's routes, skipped over the rest of girls, and read some spoilers regarding their stories and I didn't feel like I was missing anything when reading the Meikyuu grand route or the Rakuen trial. So there's always that option if you get bored since Kaijitsu is a really long game.

At least use the spoiler function when you proclaim your fucking CG set findings on who is a main/sub heroine, who has or hasn't H-scenes etc.

Just started Refrain in LB!, the first line that Masato shouts has a different voice, is there a massive mindfuck awaiting me? I'd like a yes/no. But so far so good, I had fun playing all the character routes (Kud's route was bad IMO but still kinda fun) so I guess it's time for me to feel down a litttle bit, eh?

Yeah, and it's some other guy saying it, not Masato. That's why it wasn't voiced in early versions of the game.

>>10548890
...now that you mention it...you just blew my mind. I was totally convinced it was Masato. I kind of assumed it was made to sound like being shout from distance because Riki was still half-asleep instead of someone else shouting that from the corridor for example.

I know this isn't the right thread but I can't find the anki or japanese thread and I just wanted to ask what does まい mean when it's following a negative verb like 居ずまい

I don't think I've seen the auxiliary "mai" ever used after a negative. Are you sure you aren't just mistaking it for 居住まい?

This will be a slow 2 months so I am thinking of playing some games that have fallen by the wayside that aren't even in my back log.

One of these games is Kizuato, is it good?

[Anonymous No.]

nope it's the negative of 居る from the sentence
居ずまいを正し, I have not idea how it works but it's there

[Anonymous No.]

>>10549224
>居ずまいを正し

を can only attach to a noun, thus 居ずまい is a noun. The clause translates roughly to "correct your seating posture".

See here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%84

The suffix まい can only attach to verbs in their plain forms.

[Anonymous No.]

There's absolutely nothing tricky about ず, you can replace it with ないで and you'll get the same meaning. And also, yeah, you definitely misread that. 居ずまい is 居住まい here.

Yes, I don't think many of us here are actually Japanese. I think it's a mix of people who learnt Japanese, people who read Chinese translations, and people who use texthookers. I already stopped being optimist enough to think everyone falls in the first category, but I stopped caring I guess.

Going to college requires motivation? College is pretty much mandatory to get a job now, at least in the US.

[Anonymous No.]

That's not what it's like in the US at all. People are so afraid of the poor economy that they aren't willing to take out loans for education. So you get a bunch of unemployed people who eventually find work at entry-level dead-end jobs after years of half-hearted looking.

My country is really small, and the embassy of Japan gives people with an undergrad diploma 2 slots for anyone who wants to study as a Research Student in Japan (with a chance for a Masters depending on your dedication). For the last 2 years, nobody has stepped up to grab it, even though it's essentially free money.

Thus why it's practically guaranteed. It will probably be harder in countries like the USA.

I'm pretty impressed by Lovely Cation 2 interface so far. Granted, I haven't play the first one, but hopefully your character's settings (i.e. birthday, hobbies, etc...) will mean something in the course of the game.
