Times changed. Anime adaptions don't happen for VNs much anymore, while they adapt even the shittiest LNs, so every studio stays busy. Also gacha 1cour anime. The doujin scene also hasn't really output anything that got a big resonance for how long now? Doesn't mean they didn't output anything that could've led to that. They did. It's just nobody knows and/or cares nowadays.

In other words, you won't find big hits anymore, unless someone is trying to make it big with tons of budget. And even then it's harder. The current scene is all about webnovel->getting popular->getting published->getting an anime.

The medium is just not really looked at anymore. That's why it's dying a little every year. Someone also mentioned how exposure died. Back when the medium got "big", you could buy physical copies in normal stores. That's how Clannad got to even be a thing, thanks to Air and Kanon actually working out big time.


The industry kinda shot into their own feet when they decided, that more ero might fix this. It's a short term solution, but in the end what made eroge big in the first place weren't games with 10+ hcg per heroine. And that type of eroge just doesn't really exist anymore.

>> No.20976110

>>20976046
I think it's also necessary to pay attention to how style of media consumption has changed.
Things like Air, etc happened when competition and specialization among various anime-related media was not as high as it is now.
They also happened when internet was starting to become a thing but was not yet so big that it easily creates ideological bubbles and echo chambers among fans.
Just sheer amount of various entertainment products now is incomprehensible.
Brand-loyalty among fans wasn't as strong at that point too.

And harem-style ranobe as well as late-night anime pretty much ate away quite a sizable chunk of eroge market too. Eroge companies had to adapt and it's quite obvious that adaptation had gone the way they have a unique advantage — ero. Switch to goods as a marketing strategy to alleviate piracy impact also played a role.

none of this is relevant. shorter attention spans, the need for instant gratification, and the rise of gacha phone games are the main cause for the shrinking industry today, but its been shrinking for a long time now due to various reasons outside its control. this whole ero/non-ero debate is just dumb shitposting

Lack or addition of ero itself doesn't decide whether a VN's plot is good or not, it's just that all-ages releases tend to have more mass appeal due to being publishable on all platforms that don't allow AO releases. Usually.
Besides, there's plenty of really popular games from both eroge and all-ages camp.

I've said this before, but I think more than ero the main problem with many plotge are the enforced heroine focused routes when they're completely unnecessary or done badly. Eroge like YU-NO or Muramasa manage to do them well since each route also drives the main plot forward in some way or have interesting themes, whereas something like Chaos;Child that's an all-ages game goes way off tangent to the fucking moon for no reason in its heroine routes to the point it's clear there's heroine routes only because "we're supposed to have heroine routes", whereas it would've been much more natural to use those to explore the main mystery through different perspectives and plot developments.

This is my personal opinion, but I think that at the very least games where characters having sex actually serves a purpose in plot should definitely have sex scenes. I've played a few all-ages plotge where it does but there's no actual scene, which feels a bit shitty with some later reveal relying on it. At the very least gives us something like Kikokugai remake where the sex scenes are on the level that don't veer into AO territory. And really it doesn't necessarily have to even be plot related if it's otherwise interesting: I laughed so god damn hard in 9sorairo in Sora's H-scene that I genuinely think it would greatly detract from the game if it was removed. Love focused games usually benefit from having sex scenes in my opinion, and it's the one thing I really like about non-nukige eroge over other mediums with love-focused stories, is that the characters actually fucking take it to the next level at some point rather than dilly-dallying around the issue forever.

Of course there's also the problem of pacing ero scenes between normal ones in non-nukige or whether the H-scenes themselves are executed well in the first palce, but I think that's a whole different kind of argument from whether having ero at all adds to or detracts from a game.

Ero doesn't decide whether the plot is good or not, but it's still inversely correlated with good plot. This is because games without ero scenes, or only a few of them, have to sell the game on the basis of merit (plot) alone.

That's what I meant with "unless someone is trying to make it big with tons of budget". Most commercial all ages games fall under that.

Back in the days, all kinds of shit got adaptions. Stuff we'd consider completely random eroge. It's like when last month's "Boku no Mirai wa Koi to Kakin to" would get a sudden adaption now. Or the Feng game. Or Happiness 2. Happiness 1 and an older Feng game actually got adaptions back then, but how likely would that be today?
I mean, you can argue for nobody really needing those adaptions. They were usually never good anyway. Didn't stop them from adapting 11eyes. Sorceress Alive anime when?

>whereas something like Chaos;Child that's an all-ages game goes way off tangent to the fucking moon for no reason
Unrelated plotgefagging incoming but, I believe C;C was in the right for handling it that way. You can't deny that the characters themselves are a main appeal in the series, straying from the expected format would lose the chance to explore the characters like they did. The mystery was revolved around the characters anyways, it's easier to understand everything behind it all when you see what's behind the girls themselves. And obviously the most ideal way of doing this is the typical girl specific route format.
I do understand you thinking it felt out of place though. I mean, it was meant to be. Surely they could've done the routes in a more natural way, making it seem less superficial. But the fact that it's a Chaos; entry excuses them for going wild, in fact it encourages them to do so. So yeah, it was nice having "irrelevant side plots" that not only got me to appreciate the main plot through creative entertaining means, but also got me to realize the fleshed out characters that were there all along. But what made them grounded as routes were the "canon" link they all had. There were obvious truths that are only revealed in each route, and I enjoy it when vns do that. It's much more natural piecing together one truth from various routes, than having the protag learn literally everything all bundled up. Of course that's nothing new to vns or whatever, but definitely shines in mystery driven vns.

But I definitely got gay here, since not only does this not really relate to your initial point, but C;C is technically a translated vn so it's out-of-topic discussion. My bad.

Other anons forgot to mention that route order in first part doesn't matter and you can do Miyabi, Tonoko and Shino in any order you like. For latter half the game technically allows you to do Sumika and Misaki in any order while Yuuna's route is locked behind completing those two first, HOWEVER if you plan to actually play them all yourself make sure it's Sumika > Misaki > Yuuna. This is because Misaki's route casually spoils Sumika's route's main drama in its early parts.

This general has always been a comfy slow thread on a slow board barring the occasional shitpost chains, so it's not like we're really in need of two or more separate untranslated VN threads. Plotge, moege, even nukige and so on are hardly taking space from each other and I don't see cutting up an already slow general into several smaller ones that are likely to get even less discussion make any sense from that standpoint. Besides like the anon you replied to mentioned, the moege distinction in some cases is redundant when the games happen to have both plot and cute girl focus or other parts such as gameplay that warrant discussion, f.ex. Pricchi or Kurukuru. Nothing's really preventing you from posting about moege here.

I don't care about the total amount of CG, this picture is sad in a different way. Every girl needs her 4 h-scenes with 2 cg each, to the point even patches come. Normal CG? WHO CARES! Poor whoever MZK refers to.

That said, people care too much about numbers. What good do total amount of CG, when they couldn't be produced more cheaply? It's kinda the same like with length. I don't care about your 3mb sjis if it's 80% padding.

Can't deny that. While I don't think it's an entirely bad thing, I noticed how I cared less about Asuka herself, and more about the overall story and the Flying Circus thing. Hell, Masaya made a more lasting impression than Asuka herself.

Haruka could be fun if they manage to handle her gimmick in an entertaining way, but I have no clue how they're going to make Noa interesting especially if they're saving her for the final episode. She's been decent so far but it's not like we've never seen chuunibyou heroines before.

But yeah, they already used the best heroine in the second episode so the devs really have their work cut out for them if they plan to surpass Sora. I'm assuming they have some twist in store for Haruka's actual power since the end of the second episode sort of implies it's not just 魅了, but apart from that I have no idea what to expect.

>> No.20988819

>>20988718
Well, there should be more to Noa than chuuni, but I think it's pretty clear that the "final" heroine would be Sophi. They'll likely show her actual form in the end of the Noa episode as a cliffhanger.
Not that I expect any further episodes to be better than Sora though.

I think she's actually going to be revealed as the true 異世界人 main antagonist considering we're literally running out of characters for that role (unless they bring up someone completely new) and we already now that Ghost and Renya are just pawns backed by someone in the know. It'd also make sense because she's already related to the temple, the temple has special connection to Sophi's world and kicks the plot into gear, plus several important scenes like their group's meeting, Kujou's death in her bad end route or Renya's death in her good end route happen there, as if they were hanging out there all the time. Of course there's the ominous sequel hook scene with Sophi and Yoichi at the end of episode 2 but I doubt it'd be that obvious and it's likely a red herring.

Though I hope I'll end up being completely wrong. There's nothing worse than guessing a big twist beforehand.

I put together a list of traits to avoid or use moderation with modern eroge heroines.

1. Non-virgin. This shouldn't need much explanation. Exceptions are accepted for obvious sluts in nukige and plot-focused works, but the "obvious" part is important, you simply cannot have a non-virgin heroine in a charage who is not advertised beforehand to be one anymore, that's a privilege that died in the 00's.
2. Short hair. Not actually that much of a sin, but it's something that modern devs tend to avoid quite a bit. You can have up to ONE heroine with short hair in your title, but it's preferable if all of your heroines have hair that extends to their asses.
3. Dark skin. Unless you're specifically targeting ganguro, fantasy elf, or suntan bikini fetishists, all of your heroines must be as white as snow.
4. Height above 165 cm. Don't want to make your audience feel too inferior after all. It's even better if every single heroine is less than 155 cm tall, then you've struck the moe zone. Exceptions are for femdom/MILF fetish stuff and fantasy warrior heroines.
5. Glasses. Glasses are only accepted on the typical heroine if she wears them just for a brief moment or two, or wears them at the start and then switches to contacts. The only heroines allowed into exceptions are hard-assed student council girls and teachers. (Isn't it funny how women who are less than 145cm tall seem to take up a significantly larger share of the population than women with imperfect vision?)
6. Denim jeans. Big nono, they seem too slutty and western for otaku.

So there you have it. Avoid all of these and you're already halfway to making a perfect eroge heroine!

The reason why you don't see it much is because it belongs to the true anime colors. Most games have no anime colors at all. (meaning, it needs to be kinda possible: Red/Orange, Blonde, Black, Brown, White, Gray) And if you get one, it's usually one that doesn't stand out that much, like a very light pink which you may even see in our world, obviously being not natural though.

Finished sakura no uta. I went with fairly low hopes, given that I didn't like subahibi that much (didn't like characters, found it somewhat pretentious).
I found the first few chapters of sakura no uta slowly confirming my fears, with largely a miss on the humor style, boring long SOL sequences and characters that didn't stand out. However in the end I really appreciated how the writer managed to develop the main character over the chapters, and while there were painfully boring scenes, there was also brilliantly done parts.

I liked their previous game and I agree. I actually got used to the presentation after a while, in the routes you get to date the heroine both in the past and the present at the same time so they feel like double routes, I thought it was cool. The problem is that they fail to be interesting. The ending twist was cool but I don't feel it was worth it. There are several scenes without music too, it feels unfinished.

Happiness 2 is a mixed bag. Half of the heroines are kinda problematic, and it uses one of the most unfortunate cases of route enforcement, which doesn't help. For no real reason, I'm pretty sure.

You are forced to play one specific route at first. And the girl is incredibly flat, boring and couldn't have a more generic and clichéd "plot" accompanying her. Her introduction is terrible, the way she gets to meet the protag is terrible... she's basically a lost cause. I don't really know why a fucking moege does that mistake. Sure, this girl is "save", basically your typical old school main heroine. But being save and secure means that while you don't hate her (there's nothing THERE to hate), you won't like her either (because there's nothing there to like either). And not everyone is willing to play a route like that, especially if the other girls are more appealing. Okay, 2 other girls. One not really, but she basically has no screentime in common anyway, so it's hard to say much about her from that alone.

Seems like the game's rating on EGS was fucked with anyway. It started pretty high, and even with its still fairly low amount of votes it already went down quite a bit. I'm still interested in at least 2 of the routes and maybe grand. So for now I skipped this first route. Thanks to skipping being slow and needing ctrl (automatic skipping stops at day changes..... yes. It fucking stops at day changes), you still see a good amount of what generally happens, and nothing looked like it's more than typical moege stuff that wouldn't be important later. But, I guess I'll see. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I don't like to do this, but I couldn't stand this route one bit.

I'd like to add to what anon said.
In terms of the non-serious parts (e.g. mainly dick jokes) sequences, I did not find them funny at all and ctrl-ing them. I think the repetition really kills it; I was fine with the opening sequence being it; but they really went overboard with it.
Luckily, ctrl-ing through those sequences and skim reading the backlog saves a lot of this; those who insist on reading every line carefully would dislike the experience much more than they would have.
Personally, I think Apeiria scores on erogamescape may have been overrated - there hasn't been anything outstanding around that time to compare to. I agree in that the game does suffer 'mood' issues; and the sci-fi elements are nothing amazing.
In summary, if you don't end up liking the characters, then it's probably not worth continuing.

I don't really want to argue with you or that other anon because it would be mostly arguing about the personal preferences, but I don't think Apeiria was overrated. I personally enjoyed it very much, both comedy and serious parts. Although I do agree that it has some extreme mood swings, I haven't found them being as bad as you two make them sound like. As for the dick jokes, well, they are just part of the protag's personality. Taking them away from him would be like taking away Narita's grandiose attitude or Kageaki's formal speech manner. But those are just my personal preferences, again.
Still, there's one thing both of you haven't mentioned, which is — Thinker, who is probably the main reason to read Apeiria. And Thinker surely was one of the best antagonists I've seen in very long time. His mindgames with the protagonist were what made me invested originally, and they kept being entertaining until the end.
