Finished Biman4 yesterday. I didn't expect to care about the story and just play it to have a fap but I found myself amused by it to a certain degree. Especially the oh shit -ending which I should have seen coming at least to some degree but I guess I wasn't paying enough attention for example when you can clearly see in the reverse-rape scene that the trap is having flashbacks to his incestuous abusive mom


I always thought the trap was fucking batshit insane but only in some weird ironic memetastic way, but finding out he actually was a parenticidial maniac who tortures her sister mentally without her even knowing, just to get what he wants, was a bit much

What is it about magic systems that makes their inclusion in a vn invariably excruciatingly painful to read?

Is it the colossal, dry infodumps filled with stupid-sounding made-up terms that rarely end up differing from conventional RPG mechanics? Is it the layers upon layers of seemingly arbitrary rules that only exist so that they can be broken later in the story for cool points and the opportunity to pad out the script with another dozen MASAKAs? Or perhaps the inevitable battle tournament in which creativity and originality in magic use wouldn't be caught dead around?

Yeah there is a defunct translation project from several years ago it seems. There's actually some of the scripts still up on tlwiki, and from the looks of it it's a good thing it wasn't finished. The translator(s) clearly were not up to the task. I'm not sure the dude had any idea whatsoever what passive tense is.

Kind of a shame though, in a way. I'm really liking this game so far though. If I were good enough to extract the shit from the game and put it back in, I might consider taking a stab at it myself.

A surprisingly high amount of people get the idea to translate once they think that they have a basic grasp of the grammar. After all, at first you are translating things in your mind anyway, may as well write it down!

And that's exactly how the worst kind of translations happen out there where mistakes get made where everyone with even just a bit more of Japanese knowledge/experience will wonder what the hell happened there. Like getting basic grammar wrong or getting the subject wrong or whatever. Or just outright guesses. It can even feel pretty machine TL-like at times.

Yeah there was a lot of foreshadowing with the imagery of dead insects and the bird cage which hinted that they were pretty fucked up in the head, especially with the monologues on how he enjoyed playing with them.

They got me good with the ending though, I never expected trap was a fucking psychological mastermind that was able to commit a bunch of sins to manipulate his sister into becoming completely dependent on him and murder his parents.

I think I prefer the normal ending just because it's a slightly 'happier' ending where you choose to save the sister instead of corrupting her by forcing her to kill the dad.

Everything but the last part of Hyakki Ryouran done. In some ways: What a game.

Aya's (oldest sister, grey..? hair) route was fine. A bunch of interesting reveals, fun climax and more. Pretty much how I imagined routes in the middle part to be.

Fumika's (mom) route was utter shit. No real reveals, just some confirmations of stuff you should've guesses by that point anyway. Fairly boring with an absurdly terrible climax. The actions there are so mindbogglingly stupid, it's probably a route you should ctrl. My favorite part was how in that route you could accomplish your main goal, but it's thrown away because "lul wrong route" in the dumbest way possible. That's not how this should work.

Yuri's (middle sister, blonde) route was great in a bit of an unexpected way. Yuri is a complete bitch, and her route works just so well with it. It was also kinda fun to see how the protag would just fall down which leads to some fairly fun endings. It's a nice what if scenario, that just feels good, even though it doesn't reveal a ton. A lot of asses get their just desserts here. Yuri doesn't even really have a good ending. Which is really fitting, to be honest.


That said, my complaints remain the same, and now the ero gets added to it. The game has too much. Too many CG dedicated to it as well. If this would be a silly nukige.. okay. But I still think, this is story first, ero second, no matter how high the ero rate is. There were however quite a lot of scenes that could've really used some CG so far but didn't have one, because every female needs to have like 10+ hcg. Which I feel is utterly useless anyway, given that most of these characters aren't really unique enough to warrant that. It all feels kinda the same.
Still, the last part should still be fairly fun, as the main heroine is pretty great in my opinion. Also the only main heroine who doesn't wear some shitty looking purple lipstick or whatever that is...

I've yet to actually hear someone say it's that boring. And no, a random anon who doesn't write why does not count. This stuff happens to a few things in this thread, all in the very same manner, and it was never further explained or elaborated upon. Aka it's probably trolling.
Assuming it isn't... as much as comedy is a matter of taste, Noratoto isn't really that special that only a few would find funny. (well, some of the Nobuchina gags are, but the game is quite widespread) So I feel that if you find that game boring, you wouldn't like any game like it, making it kinda irrelevant as well.

That's like saying "if you don't like Ever17 you won't like any science fiction game" or any other grossly overgeneralizing statement. There's different brands of humor and Noratotos is very unique. It also fails at actually being a pure comedy game with large amounts of really bad plot mixed in, so in fact people going in for the comedy get some pretty bad whiplash.

Alright, here's a reason. I've forgotten her name but fluffy orange gal girl was atrociously handled, you had to sit through hours of really bad bullying drama and magic talking cat bullshit drama before things finally got back to the tone of the common route. I dropped it because I couldn't stomach the idea of doing that over three more times.

It was uncomfortably bad tacked-on mood whiplash that killed all of the fun the common route built up. I understand that this is basic vn plotting 101 to create unnecessary bullshit drama in order to give some semblance of character growth but the execution failed.

Maybe the others are better but I really didn't get the hype. Or maybe everyone collectively dropped it after the common route and then secretly has been pretending otherwise the whole time.

>> No.17444303

>>17444267
So it seems there's a conflict between people who concentrate on the good parts and those who concentrate on the bad parts. I think most people will agree that drama in Noratoto is mediocre but for some that wasn't enough to destroy the good parts of the game (humor) completely for them. It wasn't your case, though.

>> No.17444350

Usually I'm very forgiving of flaws, most of my favourite things are flawed gems or things where you have to look past bad parts to get the good.

But I also really dislike the ol' genki girl bait and switch, where you pick the one fun-loving girl who doesn't seem to have any obvious emotional baggage and then PSYCH j/k here's 5 hours of her being a sad sack.

Mostly it just wasn't a game I felt should have had any of that type of melodrama. It's entirely possible to give a story tension and stakes without needing to get dark and gloomy. But they did, and it was dragged out long enough that it did spoil my experience.

For the record, I was enjoying it until the mood shift. The cat stuff felt a bit unnecessary but that was something that fell under the whole 'not bad enough to destroy the good parts of the game'; the drama parts were the proverbial 50-ton safe that broke the camel's back.

pardon the rant, someone said there was a lack of people properly explaining their grievances so here you go.

Noratoto draws a lot from typical eroge comedy. Yes, of course, there are always differences. But I'm fairly certain that if we are solely talking about the comedy, if you really are completely bored by Noratoto, it's highly likely to be bored by most moege out there.

When I compare it to other good moege I've read, sure, it has better comedy in my opinion, but they have cuter girls, better integrated and more meaningful drama, more emotionally impactful romance, better sex scenes and no Shachi route.

I dunno, I enjoyed the main route of the game, and skimmed through the rest of the game for Nobuchina scenes. The comedy was certainly what made it stand out. And I didn't mind.
That said, others liking a less heavy comedy approach more is fine as well. That's taste. It still doesn't really make the game extremely boring, it just doesn't give you what you want.

Although just one thing... moege generally aren't masters of "meaningful drama" and "emotionally impactful romance". You'll need to search quite a bit to find that in a moege. And usually it strays away from being just a moege at that point. But I'm sure there are some exceptions.

That's more just differing definitions of moege, some people seem to think moege are boring trite by definition and anything more interesting or good is automatically not moege.

Moege aren't about romance, but about moe. Romance focused games can easily be soap operas with tons of drama and whatnot. That's not what moege do or want to do. It's not about "boring trite", it's about atmosphere. The atmosphere needs to be generally light hearted. So, to give a general idea, July's Golden Hour seems to be a romance based game, but not a moege. It's about relationship drama, the kind of stuff you really don't want in your moege.

There's no clear border and the very same game can be moege-ish and have a route or two which just aren't. But that's fairly normal for all "genre". But I'm fairly sure that "romance based" is not -> moege. Almost all VNs are romance based anyway, so separating that a little does make sense.

I really like the flirting, the teamwork for the school project, the interaction with Marika's family (especially when her drunk father shares his story when they have to move and had to find new job because of Marika's asthma), but I find it extremely jarring how they fuck on all the wrong place: First in the school, and now in park. I wouldn't mind those scenes in a nukige, but after the game shows them worrying about condom to the point that they cancel their first sex because none of them have it during that time, I find it weird that now he's wanting to fuck Marika right away when nobody's around even on public places.

So I'm a few hours into Hatsukoi and I have to say I really like it so far. I can't help but feel like there are still many games coming out today that wouldn't have a sprite for characters as minor as these.

I'm not that knowledgable when it comes to eroge budgets and the like but I would imagine sprites rank among some of the cheapest assets, no? At least I would assume music, CGs, and voice acting for thousands of lines cost much more than a couple sprites. But well perhaps its just another case of if they can get away without doing it why not leave it out.

>> No.17450359

>>17450336

That really depends. A lot of CG are fairly cheap. Plenty of reasons as well, timeframe for the development is an example.

There are moege that go from planning to completion within like 9 months. That's not too weird. Multiple writers, multiple artists and so on and so forth. Everything happens in parallel, so you get a lot of "safe" art that's rather compatible. There's no real value in that, as often those CG are little more than a generic background with the girl on it, but as long as that sells, it's not getting changed.
So, to add to this, extremely minor side characters may be made up by the writer of a given route on the fly and as needed. But at that point a lot of VNs already have their art ordered. Thus no sprite. Voices are recorded after the script is done (duh!), so they still may get voices, but that's about it.


So yeah, while I can see this being a budget issue of sorts, plus someone needs to actually design these characters as well, I myself see it as more of a scheduling issue. Although if we are talking about REALLY minor characters, it's usually just not cared about. (i.e. just 3 lines in the whole game, or not even named..)

Playing along the Marshmallow common route and it's quite a mixed bag.

For one thing I really thing that so much focus on only 2 heroines for quite a long time was a bad idea. And then there are generally some hit and some miss parts. For example I'm really not sure why they included a random drug arc with the protag getting in jail. I mean I've seen some shit, but please. Good thing ctrl exists... kinda. I'm also not sure about the whole idea of "getting back to school". There are millions of school works already, so this just feels wrong and annoying.. especially because once that's done it's barely to not at all mattering...

But yeah, while it has its issues, its cheesiness here and there and some bad parts, it can also be quite nice. This loli for example is great, and although I'm not into lolis, at least a joke route for her would probably have been rather fun. On the other hand you have JC who is so fucking annoying I muted her pretty early and don't even read any of her lines anymore for quite some time. Yeah, that still kinda works, yay for moege having irrelevant lines on side characters.

That aside, all the "not a kid" male side characters for whatever reason lack eyes, which made me really wonder how the fuck they got THAT idea. I thought we are past that nowadays. Even protagonists usually get eyes by now.

Done with Hyakki Ryouran now.

True route didn't really feel that much "true" as in a route that's a big final part to the game. It's really more of a character route that heavily shortcuts and summarizes some ideas of the previous routes. So you shouldn't expect the other heroines to have much of a role here. However it feels like probably the "best" ending solving more or less everything, so it's definitely a good final thing to play. Though of course the ending had to have these parts that give you maybe a little chill or at least go "oooookayyyyy". It's quite fun. Ririka is something. What exactly? That's up to debate.
There's also a... maid.. variation of this route, but I don't think that was too good. Just another bunch of (maid) ero for those who want it. Kinda hurts the story though, though to be honest I don't know if it skips certain parts. Being just a variation, I obviously only went through the stuff that's not skipped with the "skip read text" function.


I had my fun. I already wrote about the issues, but when the game was good, it was pretty good. Still a major amount of wasted potential, but I still go out of this with an overall positive opinion. Next time they do such a game, they however should either reduce the ero or reduce the plot. The game REALLY lacked normal CG. Only a good 10% of the total unique CG are not hcg... which really hurts this.

So, over 600kb of common route in Marshmallow. Next time please with a bit better drama reasons.

I know it's a moege, but precisely because it is one you want to have actual drama that makes sense, as everything else just feels out of place and too forced in the middle of all the fluff. Not all drama needs to be the most urgent thing in the world. Sometimes that doesn't fit. It's just a shame when a whole big drama arc failed in the few first lines, because it just doesn't make sense. Makes this common route fairly hit and miss.


So, Sasa it will be. And maybe Rairai after that. Don't care about the others. They probably got too much screentime during common for their own good. That said, I do feel so far that this game is definitely better than Primal x Hearts 2. While this is much more hit or miss than PxH 2, I think the cast is overall better which also includes the heroines. PxH 2 had to fight against boredom much more and while it didn't quite have a JC, it had its own fairly annoying supporting girls. Nothing in Marshmallow beats Tateha's uncle though.

It's obvious they spent quite a bit of money making Senmomo so they'd want to get a better return on that investment. Personally, I liked the characters themselves, but the story was just plain dumb. It being a fandisk, story won't take precedence so it should be fine, I think.

Nasu keeps bringing it up in Interviews and mentioned it just a few months ago, but it feels like something they're making because they feel obligated to rather than because he wants to though.
He mentioned on his blog last year that he wrote the Babylonia chapter for FGO in just a couple of days, and that was like 10 hours long. It also doesn't help that it seems the core TM staff doesn't just shit out scripts/art and then let the company running it do their thing, but also has a hand in overseeing the gameplay side of things and everything else.

She is just a cute worried girl. After realizing that he showed no reaction even after she pressed herself against him or laid a little "see her while she's changing" trap, she asks the others and it turns out they had similar experiences. Loli oneesan got laughed at when he saw her panties and so on.
So, she looked up what to do against that and one idea was a certain shrine that worships something that I can only really call the dick god. Their object of worship is also just a giant penis, so yeah. Thus she prays. She prays for more, but I'm lazy and most of the lines don't work well isolated. She is a fairly hilarious girl though.

That said, I'm sure she's also somewhat of a "bitch". At least in the pure Japanese meaning in that she has sexual desires. And is probably a lot more lewd than one may think in some regards. But I guess that's kinda obvious from that screen alone. What was it called again in the game... pure-type bitch? Something like that.

Dunno if you are genuinely surprised but yes it's known that eroge has been on the decline for many years. Hence you see less experimental games now and more "safe" ones.

It's funny how this happens just when the VN medium gets a bit more popular in our own market. The first full length original english VN including full english voice acting is already out. Not an eroge... I think... but still.

That game wasn't sold as a single game. Half-ish of the content was sold before and didn't exactly flop. Of course, if you never played it: Great value. But that's not for all people.
Generally I feel less is sometimes more anyway. I suppose for Baseson it's a bit different given their stick with way too many characters, but I generally feel VNs are still too padded nowadays. So if some games actually lose some length-quota because of less sales... that doesn't need to be a bad thing. Knowing the market though, they'd probably still pad the living shit out of the game and simply offer a route less. If you gotta cut, better to work with less authors, right?

>> No.17474582

>>17474520

Ignoring the bonus ero stuff, the scripts are a good 3mb for the main-route. That does include whatever is there to recap you on the common route.
Mori Dreamers 1 was about 8mb. I don't have exact s-jis numbers, and even though they are sequels the scripts could be slightly different in terms of how much of it is actual text and not just control code or whatever, but I'm fairly certain the sequel is well under 1mb sjis with those numbers. 700-800kb I'd assume. If you are fast, that's possible in under 10 hours. Most will probably need 10-15 though.

A lot of people here seem to like this one writer from Elf, Doten Meikai. (I don't know if it's a lot of people or if it's just one person shilling him), but I recently tried one of his games、夫の前で犯されて. I played it for a while but it ended up boring me out of my mind. It pretty much feels like your standard NTR/Netori plotline sort of thing, except its more slowly paced and it's not like a Lilith game or anything. I ended up dropping it after a while.

The thing is, even if you look at the game as a nukige, it's not effective at all because of how boring the h-scenes are, although I guess the animations and art are pretty nice. Also, even when I dropped it there wasn't a proper scene where the guy even fucks the girl because of how slow paced the game is, pretty much all he does is get blowjobs and finger her on the train. Did I start off with the wrong game for this writer? What's the appeal of him?

No way, dude. It's supposed to be a nukige and all and I get that. In hindsight I actually think the set-up and all was pretty interesting. Weirdly enough, it gave me a sort of 'thriller movie' vibe.

Well yeah, if you expect crazy stuff like in Lilith games than he really isn't for you.

But if you like a more psychological approach of girls being pushed slowly until they shatter, it's pretty great. 夫の前で犯されて is his weakest game, but even there he shows some cool stuff which I wouldn't call a standard netori setup. Like how the protagonist using traumas of the heroine to take advantage of her instead of going with the "I made a panty shot of you, let's fuck" blackmailing. That gives it a more 'realistic' touch.

To be fair, Sasa has literally no screentime for 80% of the common route. Once you actually see her a bit and she gets established, she already opens up towards being much more assertive than what you'd guess of a girl who has the habit of apologizing in weird ways for everything. Said apologizing also gets much less. In this case it's really just her actually getting to know the other characters and as such not behaving like she'd do towards strangers.
Raiha is fairly similar, just the other way around. I've not played her route, but assuming it's similar to Sasa, she'll never lose her true character completely, but it'll mix with her simply opening up to the cast.

No idea about the initial two. One is a loli onee-san, who always fails at the onee-san stuff... which isn't my thing. The other is your extremely typical "main-heroine" nice girl, design as well. Talk about boring.


...not like any of that matters much given that the not ero content in the routes is like 2-3hours max.

Kanon is at her best late in her route when she's equal parts dumb and lewd, but the route itself is a mixed bag. They drag the protagonist's name change misunderstandings for the entire first half, then there's inheritance drama and then you're finally free to get the porn you wanted... most of it slapped together at the very end of the route one after another.

Honestly, from what I've seen, the game has some serious pacing issues. For example, in the common route, the drugs showing up and protagonist getting arrested problem is solved pretty much instantly (extra points because the trial ended at that point with a cliffhanger) but then you have Kanon's route dragging on for way too long with the things nobody cares about. I liked her a lot when she got turbo dere, but good grief it feels like it takes a figurative eternity to get there.

I wouldn't be surprised if a good amount of those votes come from the trial or whatever, as that seems rather impossible. You literally have the character most prominent in the trial (-JC, but I doubt anyone likes her..) on place 1-3.

That said.. it's still a nice sign and explanation for why eroge is dying. Loli onee-san is based around laughing at her failing and "how cute" that is. Aka a heroine solely made to make the player feel superior, given how it's coupled with the whole self-insert stuff.
So, that kinda implies that "mary sue" protags together with dumb heroines to laugh at are the most popular. While I'm a little mean here, there's probably more truth to that then at least I'd like there to be.

>> No.17479476

>>17479418
I didn't see JC on that list at all and I'm pretty sure no one likes her. Loli onee-san is actually very sweet, taking on a more motherly and supportive role and the jokes were more along the lines of her physical appearance.

>>17479391
Interested in seeing how the votes will turn out after. My guess would be Rairai and Sasa placing much higher since they don't show up much until the latter half of the common route. Will have to finish the rest of the character routes to get a better idea.

My own biggest beef with pure love eroge MCs is that most of the time they're mellow relatively outgoing yasashii nippondanshi that get close to everything done correctly and are surrounded by pseudo-harem of cute girls in their daily life. If the whole point was to self insert you'd think that the majority of people who regularly play pure love games would be able to better identify and empathize with protagonists who start out as losers, kind of like LxC.

Or just have protagonists be fun active characters on their own rather than just a cardboard for the heroine to talk to. Like Fureraba.

I don't agree, while I love Harukuru more than anyone it doesn't hold up as a pure hard scifi story at all. Real scifi has a lot more depth and world-building poured into the setting and a lot more realistic, or at least internally consistent, use of advanced science.

What makes Harukuru so good is the level of attachment you build with the characters and the strength of the contrast between the plot and the fun romcom scenes. If the contents of that infodump were just about random people, it would be infinitely less impactful. You need the SoL scenes just as much as the scifi.

What?
Dude it's just cute girls doing cute things. Don't think too much.
I mean If you're going that far you can go even further and break down all stereotypes.
Stoic girls are for those who like women that don't talk back and thus allow them to assert their male dominance.
okaasan type girls represent the player's inability to find love other that in their family so they are forced into loving their own family members to compensate.

I'm reading a love story where the main character has a name and somewhat of a personality. Self inserting in this case is garbage and it feels like you're just ruining a character and the doing a disservice to the girl who fell in love with that person. I hate self-inself when it's haphazardly done like this. If you want to make a self insert character give them no dialogue other than your choices.

What do you guys think about the balance of cowtits vs flat chests in eroge, particularly where heroines are concerned? I guess your standard eroge has 1 pettanko, 2 large, and 1 giant pair. But then you have some that only have large breasts, like Noraneko (I know there's the loli but she doesn't have a route), which made me wonder why they did that.

I know there are plenty of (fetish) nukige with only loli or huge breasts, but aside from that. Not really a specific question, just want to hear your thoughts on what you think is most successful for eroge companies, or what your personal preferences are (is a cast that has only large breasts boring since there's no contrast?).

Personally, while my dick likes large breasts, usually lolis are cuter/more interesting. And I rarely fap to the H-scenes anyway.

>> No.17481997

>>17481943
Never interested in cowtits, which is a shame because there's so much of it. I'm sure cowtits sells better, especially since it isn't something you can easily get with japanese women, but I would prefer if the cast had a variety of realistic chest sizes and maybe one cowtits at most.

>> No.17482079

Must be a pretty wide average with how autospeed default settings differ so much. You can set that stuff to your liking for a reason.
And, to be honest, auto is not a good idea anyway. It pretty much always lets voices play out completely and has otherwise always the same pace, regardless of if the line is part of a complicated infodump where you wanna make sure to pay close attention, or just a long as fuck "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" scream. The beauty of VNs is that you can advance in your own variable speed. So I at least set textspeed to max and advance with my mouse-wheel. (or a controller if I wanna be super laid back)

>>17481943

Depends on the art and whatnot. A lot of artists get big breasts wrong. It's obviously taste to a degree, but... yeah. Noratoto is an example where the artist is quite capable of making the breasts work, so I have 0 issues with it. There's a limit though. After a certain size it just looks silly no matter what. That's usually roughly when one breast gets close to reaching the size of the character's head.

Personally, I prefer flat chests even if only because it's impossible to fuck them up. You can be on the very end of the spectrum at flat as a washboard and I will think its cute. On the other hand, cow tits can be fucked up. Boobs the size of a watermelon just look ridiculous and I hate it. I think the distribution of heroines in most eroge is good, however like you said some games you'll get all huge tits, and I just can't like that in many cases.

>> No.17482146

>usually lolis are more interesting
funny thing is that "having big tits" is considered an endearing character trait in your standard eroge. flat girls don't have that, so writers feel like they need to give them something else to compensate, which means they usually end up getting actual personality traits instead.

more specifically though, variety is the spice of life. great tits are meaningless if everyone has them, their greatness only has value when compared to others. same for flatness. i for one would welcome more sizes in between.

Assume I'm an old fart who knows shit about technology. I don't know which is more popular or even what's the difference, other than it's something young people use.

I could take it literally and think the rabbit was stolen from the foxes, while it could have it could mean something else in that game world. Like a well known book where the rabbit was a jewel and the foxes were the mafia.

Yeah I know I'm being stupid but my mind initially read it as:
うたわれるものをスマホから取り戻す。
It's why I'm wondering if uta has a mobile game.

Even if it did that sentence would make no sense.

So you don't know grammar well enough?

>>17483691
Yeah it doesn't make sense. That's why I was asking if Uta got a mobile game before.

Anyway, I'll stop posting now. Guess I need some sleep.

The designs in Golden Hour make me think that most of the girls have pillows stuffed under their clothes. And I'm still just a few hours in but if the game doesn't try really hard to sell me on girls other than Yuki, who is pretty much the obvious choice from the start I'll just be doing her route and maybe Suzu too because she's really cute.

Okay, this is starting to get fun. I have absolutely no idea anymore who or what to believe. Gives a certain denpa feeling as well. Sometimes I feel "maybe I can trust this character", then I get back to "nope, this one is baaad". Back and forth. I really like that aspect of the game. Or rather, there isn't much else than that, but that's fine. The choices are also going hand in hand with it.

is this just the art all game, silhouettes on blurry backgrounds?

>> No.17484166

>>17484128

Yes. And music that is very much in the background for ambience and atmosphere.

It also kinda made me wonder, why this is even in VN form, but hey. You get used to it. And apparently there's over 1000 "pictures" used, whatever that may exactly mean. Probably any and all stuff you get to see.

Picked up Lovely x Cation (the first one) again to do Aya's route. MC is such a stalker, meeting her "accidentally" over and over again.

It's not. People just don't know particles, but even then, I am being really generous that someone would misinterpret から when the verb is some compound verb with 取る
