But Madou Koukaku doesn't have actual prostitution scenes for most of the heroines.
Most of them are just the MC fucking the heroines in the brothel. You don't actually see them fucking customers.

This prostitution mechanic in Madou Koukaku really disappointed me. What's the point of sending them to the brothel if all you're getting are the same vanilla shit with the MC?

When you're defending, かばう directs all damage to him if an AoE has him as a target, and gives him bonus phys def during that hit if you level it up, and 防御の極み nullifies crits on him. Tank through one bomb (because this guy is slow as fuck and usually won't make it before the first bomb) and the rest won't hurt as hard.

And since people are playing now I might as well ask. See if you can figure out how to complete guild quest 21. I'm worried that it might lock out something because it's a quest from Fleurety. Basically she asks you to explore this place but it's blocked off and you need that nobleman's permission, but once you get the permission a little later it's too late and it fails. If someone can figure out how to get past that let me know. I'm just going to ignore it on the first playthrough and hopefully nothing ends up locked.

This surprises you? She was obviously more than a little murderous.

The elf and the oni both have gangbang CGs, and the narcolepsy mage appears to be similar to Mylen, getting tagteamed by the protagoinst and a fellow demon, and most of her CGs are some kind of demon orgy in general.

...Probably, at least assuming pure means not fucked by anybody but the protagonist, who obviously does her repeatedly, including a threesome scene with the sick girl.

The only maybe not is this CG, where she's wearing the same whore costume as the oni is in her gangbang CG. I'm pretty sure that's the protagonist though, just his arm is covering up the usual tats on his side. Also, there's a variant of it without the whore costume and it's the same, plus there's at least a couple CGs explicilty of the protagonist where they outright forgot to draw his tatoos.

Madou is far better than those two. Just the sheer amount of outcomes from your choices is impressive. You can even abandon the main storyline and go full conqueror.
Not to mention it has THE best VA work in all of Eushully games. The RTS thing is a hit or miss but together with townbuilding and how it affects the plot I enjoyed it very much.

If you go magic route for example you can create spirit monsters that take 1% physical damage and cheese through most of the countries because their main source of damage is physical except Ranahaim.

Aroduc was translating Baldr Sky. Sekai found out. They took his partial to Giga and used it to prove that all the technical problems had been figured out (Giga lost all their code) and it could be localized. Giga gave them the license. Sekai didn't tell Aroduc any of this before announcing it. They then went to him and told him to hand over all his work to them and fuck off. He told them no. They tried to force him into a draconian contract instead. He said no again, but the rest of his team ditched him and sided with Sekai Project while pretty much the entire translation community shit on and blacklisted him for not bending the knee.

>> No.20345893

>>20345847
There's more to it that's mentioned a little bit in those posts. Aroduc was against doing a U18 version, both because he wasn't sure it could be done, and because it would be a ton of extra work. Sekai was insistent that he had to deliver a fully working one, for no extra pay, through negotiations. Eventually, they agreed that it would be a separate project, then when the contracts came, they reneged and the proposed payment was not only less than what they had previously agreed to, but that was back in the terms.

Shit like that is apparently how every email with them went. Sekai would make an offer or agree to something, and then renege or silently change terms in the next email and became hostile when called out on it. That shouldn't surprise anybody who's seen how Dovac acts and how SP runs their Kickstarters though.

If you'd know what EOP actually means, English ONLY(!) Peasant, you'd not need that post at all. JOP is basically impossible to be, as Japanese people learn English. Well. Engrish. But still. EOP is a term you can't really transfer that easily. In fact, it doesn't even apply to people who know English and another language that isn't Japanese. It's basically just another way of saying "dumb murricans". Apparently you have over 90% of people learn another language in Europe, while it's about 20% in the US.
Pretty much all comments about "why isn't this translated?!?" and the really retarded comments about literal vs liberal translation are also often from single language people, making them rather... annoying to deal with in the community. They have literally no idea what it even means to go from one language to another one, yet demand this and that. EOP. The REAL EOP.

Things have warped a bit, probably because people just don't care or understand what EOP is about, but one thing is for sure: JOP is not a thing. You'd first need to twist P to mean People, to not be half an insult, and then basically restrict it in weird ways to mean something like "the languages you use to read VNs". EOP and whatever variances of it however are not supposed to be neutral terms. So why the fuck would you want to be a JOP?

How new are you? While you did get EOP right, most people consider JOP to mean Japan(ese) only patrician/player. If you can't even get something this basic correct, the rest of your rant can be completely ignored as some semantic rambling from somebody a bit too high or drunk... which is it?

I think I found a very early game source of cash in Grasesta I haven't seen anyone else mention yet.

Basically you just keep resetting this area by entering rosa's shop or leaving the area and returning and catching the cat over and over since you get a 100g coin each time. It's not a fast process by any means, but every bit helps when you are poor.

If you're quick you can grab the cat before it even goes up the stairs, but if not you'll have to chase it to Rosa's shop and catch it when it tries to loop around.

It happens, but unless you happen to hit a really really big break usually eroge voice actors don't really go beyond side character type roles for anime.

This is probably for a variety of reason, possibly unwilling to play the greater corporate politics that come with getting major anime roles, agency isn't willing to push them hard, they already have an outside career they like and voice acting is more of a side thing.
Semi-related, in my experience most eroge voice actors are pretty ugly and outside of Kugyu I can't think of any really popular and well known female voice actors that aren't at least decent looking.

Hot Pockets is massively overrated, you really aren't missing much. It's basically a little slice of every title Key ever made all packed into one game. If they had at least included H it could've smoothed over the god awful non-Shiroha routes. Honestly feels like Key is going the way of purplesoft (minus the H) with regards to how much focus is put on the main heroine and how lackluster the side heroines are.

There's also no logical way Umi is their child either. The way her personality is, she either got orphaned in the future or was put up for adoption.

Your imagination is almost certainly better than the actual game. It's set up like Heroes of Might and Magic more than anything, where you pick a specific hero to be the protagonist out of a half dozen, and then play as them. They run the gamut from white knight dude to angel to a couple fat ugly serial rapists. It's just the latter raping, torturing, mindbreaking, etc the heroines associated with the other routes.

So when exactly does KamiMaho kick into gear? Just finished the fifth chapter (pic related part) and I'm still not feeling it.

So far I've only enjoyed the very first chapter somewhat as at least things were fresh back then and I genuinely liked the logic behind mystery solving in that part, but every chapter after that is just so droll. Even the third chapter's punch comes literally out of nowhere so there's really no reason to feel anything, the protagonist realizes something is up literally in the next scene and then a convenient new character pops up to give clues out of nowhere as well, followed by a fucking 1 year time skip, followed by more filler feeling chapters because apparently the protagonist loses memory of meeting that character.

So not only is the game dangling promises of a proper plot on the player's head and then cheaply yanking it away, it also conveniently glosses over all the possible drama straight to acceptance without any tonal shift or character development, except for maybe Nagisa who apparently goes full revenge mode on books despite him not getting many scenes together with Kisaki to back it up. The drama about him "killing" books also seems completely silly since we're never given any reason to care about the books other than "any book lover would dislike destroying books". Though I wouldn't be surprised if there's a magic book related personality twisting reveal about it and the game's whole story later on.

When you don't have any interest anymore, just be done with it. The writer has a lot of double standard issues going on, which even ruins the very ending itself. So there's nothing to look forward to in that regard either.
It's a shame, because there's a whole lot of good ideas around, but the presentation... I dunno. Deliberately acting as if you write shit, but then saying "actually I thought this through!" is only really working, if you don't end up writing shit at some point after all.

He's absurdly melodramatic in a way that somehow appeals to me. Stuff like being pathologically unable to end a scene without some sort of "IF ONLY..." I SIGHED FORLORNLY INTO THE SUNSET-type stinger, his protagonists overthinking things to the point of paralysis, plot twists that seem to exist purely to maximize potential drama, etc., all the stuff that I can entirely understand people disliking, ends up being endearing to me.

I started with Unmei Yohou and loved it despite its roughness, I just really like lucle's characters and their development. Also mcs with actual self-awareness.

If I skipped Ao/Tsumugi I probably wouldn't dislike it as much, but since I sat through them I burned out reading the average parts. The parts I liked: The comedy in the "common" is extremely funny and on point, incredibly solid start to the game and probably the best Key has ever put out. Writing is snappy and the game goes fast. Shiroha is really, really cute. Kamome route was fun. The interactions with original Umi were superb. KanaHana in the Pockets route was an amazing performance, there needs to be a full game with her as the protag.
Really the only major problems are the two aforementioned shit routes being required to access the true, and the true spending large chunks of time on playing house with a literal toddler. That was boring.

That's that, I guess. Couldn't really feel any weight or tension in the story since every single long ass speech before a critical moment was followed by like 30 seconds of combat where I just flatten the shit out of whatever boss I'm fighting. Except the final boss, where it was more like 2 minutes. 決死+leech is actually a somewhat tough combination.
Also despite trying to be somewhat meticulous I managed to completely miss the dwarf shopkeeper's, angel's, and Fleurety's flags, most of the sleepy girl's flags, and a few other events here and there. I think most of that is caused by events being triggered by sleeping which is a stupid design since you don't need to sleep at all starting from midgame. Time to give NG+ a whirl.

Honestly, all first routes aren't much different in terms of quality. If you liked one more than the others, it's more you yourself. They all kinda have the same twist as well, although sometimes handled a little differently. Also short. They are fucking short. One girl wasn't even there for a big part of her route, which was probably the worst of them all. She literally didn't matter for anything in general and didn't even have much screentime at all. I'd not be surprised if her total voice-acting doesn't even reach one hour. As a main heroine. Yikes. I've got to come to know certain side characters of other novels better.

The true route then being essentially the same fucking thing as Shiroha's is also a problem. I was wondering, when I was playing Shiroha's route: Something is missing. Something is off. Yeah. Well. Sure was.
I also "loved" the flashback to scenes you didn't have to have. The bugs in gameflow. How the game was incapable of remembering your first choice in prologue if you skip it. Saving bugs in general. The game was just so unpolished. In literally every aspect. And then you see people praising the living shit out of it. I just don't understand that. Sure, the comedy was good, common was fun and all. (the minigames are really bad though, especially the shimamon thingy) But common is also short.

I haven't read it myself but from what I've heard it's very typical sports-manga style, apparently it's similar to aokana's common route although obviously it's a lot worse visually and the actual sports matches aren't as interesting, also they're 3v3 not 1v1.
I really liked istoria and kamimaho though so I'm still going to read it, obviously it won't be as good as aokana because nothing is but it should still be good.

If someone played through Amazing Grace, I'd be happy for some opinion about it at that point. It's still too early to rely on EGS ratings, but I've already read that it's supposedly taking forever to get actually good. So I'm not sure. I'm not continuing it for now, given how damn christmas-ish the music is all the damn time and how generic it seems at the beginning.

I mean, so far the plot, as far as I can tell, is that you, a former slave, and your commander and higher commander(whose premature surrender caused this) got sold into slavery as prisoners of war in order to fight against demons. Along the way you meet other slaves, a demon lady who is both interested in you and also trying to bring forth the Demon King and also a noble(i think shes a fairy) who decides to sponsor you. Everything else felt straightforward so far

Well if you only look at those tropes instead of literally everything else, then yeah. I don't know how you can say that the setting/world ISN'T unique though. I've been having a good time with it so far, I like the focus on art/christianity, Im curious the direction it'll take this stuff.

I'm not super far in but the setting and circumstances are rather interesting. I kinda wish Lilica didn't exist or was only a side character though, she 'softens' a lot of the atmosphere in a way that's sort of lame. Would be better to see Jeds claw his way up to the top without the huge leg up she gives him.

I mean she's cute and all and her voice is great but every side heroine is more interesting and likeable than her so far. At least she has heals.

I was initially thinking that its a bit of a pattern in Eushully games but then "cinnamon roll main heroine" that contrasts the MC only happened previously most recently in Amayui(at least I hear that Avaro of Amayui is a bit of a shady figure, then again you are able to do some really shady stuff in Amayui)

>> No.20354321

>>20354273
You could easily not have that situation happen at all. It's a hell of a stretch in the first place, it only happens because of an improbably combination of fat aristocrat asking exactly the right question out of nowhere and Judas deciding for some reason that being perfectly honest is a great idea. It'd make it more interesting to have Jaffar alone know that he's got demon stuff fermenting inside of him, maybe it'd give him more of an excuse to be the cool tortured loner he very much wants to be.

>> No.20354334

I like it still at the begining but its very straightforward so far, the nation to which the MC is affiliated with as a mercenary is attacked by its neighbor. A war near the border which happens periodically between the two this time the reason being some kind of religious festival/anniversary. Having been besieged and and outnumbered MCs's 'bro' character or rather somebody who is only using MC at that point and is at the same time a 100 man commander if I remember that right sneaks out right before being surrounded and attacks the enemy while they are busy advancing on the fortress to crush the enemy supply wagons which will render them unable to continue the siege.

To cut it short and omit the details everything went perfectly except for the fact that when they return to the fortress to meet up with the rest of the forces apparently it had already fallen or rather its commander couldn't hold in the stress to save himself and just outright surrendered. Then they enter negotiations with the enemy commander(one of the heroines) where again the MCs bro manages to convince her to rather than execute them(because their country obviously won't pay for ransom for a mercenary and somebody who has no court rank given their results) to sell them as slaves to Gracesta where apparently she was headed after the expedition. The main factor why she agreed being the MC who killed her second in command and almost alone wiped out his whole unit.

I kind of worry or wonder a bit if Yutore/Eutre has some really shady ulterior motives that will eventually cause us to fight him later. Though right now I am mildly surprised that he's actually stronger than everyone else in the first time hes a guest character in your party, then again I suppose he's the 'crutch' in that particular scenario

She even tells Lily about the MC in ch1, so her opinion of Judar changes quite a bit after that tutorial area.

I kind of wondered why was she looking really predatory at Judal during negotiations. Aside from that, shes not supposed to be a bad person no? And why did she even tell Lilica about Judal anyway?

Also, was it only Judal, Yutore and the "former-Baron" who got sold into slavery?

I think the odds are good that he'll turn at some point, likely out of jealousy.

There's a bunch of soldiers from Yutore's squad around town, you can recognize them by their armor. Which apparently they were allowed to keep? There's at least a blue-haired dude and a pink ponytail girl, probably a couple others.

And you'll see what the knight woman is like soon enough. Still can't believe they gave a main character the name Dolphin Fishnets, though.

If you've seen her talk with Lily it should be obvious she's not a bad person. As for why she told her about Jude, maybe she knew Lily was looking for strong people and was testing him? I dunno, I'm still really early in as well.

Well the MC kept mentioning in his inner monologue how he probably would've been discarded had he no use for Yutore and the guy himself also mentions how he would be troubled if Jedal died(most likely because he has further plans to use him)
But I don't know I feel like they won't turn on each other I think he kinda likes the MC in his own way.

I can't remember but I'm pretty sure only Yutore's 100 man squad got sold into slavery because he mentioned to her that every one of his memebers were elite and proof being the MC so they worth more as slaves than on the chopping block.

I keep thinking he's gonna show some hints of turning on Jedders because it's a Eushully game and his character design just screams betrayer, but every scene he's in he's got your back and his plots are wholesome in ends, if not the means. He's a bit obsequious and drifts into questionably gay territory but so far has been pure bro.

Eutre says it himself, he's the brains of the outfit and Jude is his favorite muscle. That's the kind of attitude that can cause betrayal eventually - imo, Eutre has the same kind of attitude as Wil's friend in Kamidori, forgot his name. He silently watches his muscle get all the rewards and girls while he tirelessly works to just keep up, stress building as the danger of the job takes its toll, eventually succumbs to an offer to have moar powah, yadda yadda yadda.
