/vr/ - Retro Games

IN THE LAST THREAD:
I tried contacting /jp/ for help.
It didn't do shit.

Way to use the most boring picture ever.

>>396721
Stop whining and calm down, idiot.

>>396728
Wasn't a whine. It was just a warning for anyone thinking of doing the same thing

>>396736
I gotta stop putting my name in the subject.

>>396721
I actually found some info about Chu Teng? a while back when I was looking for an Eastern Mind download. Apparently there's a Mac and PC version of it and the Mac version is easier to find, so in case anyone's looking for it.

I believe I saw some copies of it a few months back for sale online, but I can't recall where.

>>396721
What did you actually expect from the otaku board?

>>396751
Anon of the Day right here
Any memories lurking aroung?

>>396685
IT IS TIME
to have a stream?

I'll just move my picture here from the previous thread

The durka caravan was weird... it stayed a constant distance from me. If I ran toward it and it started to get closer, it would actually disappear.

I'm guessing that since you can't reach it and can't touch it and it's camels and whatnot, it's meant to be symbolic of a mirage

>>396741
>>396721
All due respect to you for trying.

But if/when someone else tries they could realize how autistic a board like /jp/ is and not do things like forget what board you're posting on and get the information wrong in the first post.

>>396771
Can't find anything but one site has it listed as Eastern Mind 2: Chuuten, so that's interesting.

Just found some photos relating to Chu Teng or whatever as well.

>>396808
Yeah, that was my bad
>>396809
Lemme try a reverse image search

For anyone who wants to play the games or listen to the OSTs or music related to the games, here are some dl links.

I had to remove the dots because 4chan thinks my post is spam.
Also a lossless rip of the Chu-Teng OST is coming eventually, some anon decided to buy the CD and said that he'd make a rip for us.

OP that pic makes me remember 7 days, a great surgical horror game that came bundled up in the Dingoo A320

>>396818
Got nothing for me, but here's another.

>>396819
This is cool.

>>396816

Fuck.
>>396819
moot needs to fix the spamchecker

>>396824
I only got this
What. The. Fuck?

>>396816

wait, what?

I have an A320 sitting here next to me. You mean there's a secret game embedded in it that I didn't know about?

>>396824
Another site says it's only available for Mac, and apparently even the creator himself has said copies are extremely rare.

>>396851
Check 3D Game

>>396834
You only can play that game on the dingoo or in a symbian mobile phone, so it's for the fucking dingoo

Searching more for Chuuten, Chu Teng, or Eastern Mind 2 and I found this. Sold in 2011 for around $78 it seems.

>>396939
we found that pretty early on in the first thread. The auction was closed a while ago.

>>396939
Yes, we've been that far in the last thread.

>>396951
Ah, okay. Well there's nothing else to be found except what's already been posted.

The best way to acquire the game would be to actually search in Japan. I know a few people on this board live in Japan and go game hunting there.

>>396961
Yeah, I can imagine it just sitting in the corner of one of Akihabara's many used game shops.

This guy also seems to be knowledgeable about both LSD and Eastern Mind.

>>397007
Technically it's Chinese, I think.

Is there something I'm missing? Why are some calling it "Chu Teng"?
中天 is ちゅうてん which is "chuuten".
Unless it's Chinese or something?

>>397007
It's the spelling used on the official website.

東脳 (とんのう/Tonnou) is spelled Tong-Nou on the website and in the English release, too.

>>397007
Chinese and the japanese company's homepage lists it as Chu-Teng

Speaking of LSD, this is pretty damn creepy

http://imgur.com/a/laKq7

>>397072
Just to be sure, the game was normal before that day, right? It's not just your emulator?

>>397105

Oh that's not mine, it just popped up whilst googling.

>>397143
Well, thanks to the fucked up nature of this game, we'll never know if that was just an emulator fuck-up, a playstation fuck-up or a game fuck-up

>>397184
Or alternatively, it's just someone who wants to make a vidya creepypasta.

>>397184
Maybe the game is actually a buggy prototype, and isn't supposed to be this strange at all. Maybe there's supposed to be dialogue and objectives but the game just doesn't work. We'll never know man. We just can't know.

FUCKING NOPE AGAIN

And it sucks because I was trapped here. This is the spawn point, and there's a metal railing against your back

Let's see what's goi...

NOPE NOPE I had trouble sleeping the first night I played this game because of this bitch

>>397262

this is what's directly behind you

>>397203
Considering the commercials for the game, I think this is exactly what they were planning to release.
Also, consider that they released a booklet of the original Dream Journal and two CDs of the music plus remixes.
If anything, this was a pet project of the developers that turned into a company-wide... thing.
>>397262
Just walk two inches to the right and he'll walk past you. Through the railing, and beyond.
>>397275
But Static doesn't make sense. That was a lot of very jarring changes.

>>397249
>>397262
>>397271

makes perfect sense that this would be a serious downer dream, considering it was just one nope moment after another

>>396819
sharing is caring

What are people running it on? For some reason I can't get psxfin to work.

I'm downloading this atm, what to expect?

>>397354
It was advertised as "not a game" in Japan.
It's based off a dream journal.

Expect nonsensical stuff. There's no story or anything.
It ends after 365 in-game days.

>>397354
It's an exploration game, you have no real set objective but walking around in every dream for 365 in-game days.
I wish there could be more exploration games, there's so few of them it's not even considered a genre.

>>397378
Not really. It puts you back at Day 1 after the Hatsuyume, and supposedly it kept your progress from the previous year.

>>397354
But yeah, expect a lot of walking around looking at shit.

>>397354

Expect to be slightly disturbed at times. That's the beauty of this game: it's somewhat unsettling

Give me a straight answer

Is this game scary

>>397463
At times

>>397467
welp

>>397497
Might try it. I'm a huge pussy though

>>397481
Hey, if a pussy like me who gets freaked out if an enemy is behind me in non-horror FPSes can play it, so can you

>>397512
i like where this is going.

>>397463
It's unsettling. Not exactly scary. After a while of playing, you get so used to it things don't phase you.

It actually feels terrible. Enjoy the horror while you can.

>>397536
Did you ask him in japanese though?

>>397512
It's NOT that scary just very....unsettling

http://photozou.jp/photo/show/1535215/156107067

This guy has a copy of Chu-Teng. I emailed him asking if he could rip an iso, but he hasn't responded.

>>397535
so in other words, pretty goosebumpy?

What do you mostly see in this game?

Mostly scary shit?
Mostly funny/wtf shit that actually sound like they are an effect of the games title

>>397569
Just play it, damn it!

>>397569
A little bit of both anon
Just play the game and maybe stream it

>Played LSD yesterday on Wii PSX emulator
>played fine
>did absolutely nothing to it when I went to sleep
>tried to play it just 5 minutes ago
>controls dont work at all

Spooky

>>397569

it's just an unsettling, uncomfortable feeling that's hard to describe.

At times it really does feel like being in a bad dream

Did another dream, time for another mini-dump

One of the classic characters, apparently

A leg in a trash bin is always a sign of being in a nice neighborhood

I keep spawning here, it's odd. It's just a one-way stairway leading up to the top of a pagoda

>>397639
Turn around and you can head back into the hotel

>>397639

you always get a nice view of the moon when you reach the top of the stairs

>>397647
I love how the moon has a big "GETSU" kanji on it.

>>396819
How can LSD have a soundtrack? I thought the music was procedural, and had like a gorillion different possible combinations?

>>397646
oh? Any time I've turned around it's just an exitless room at the bottom of the stairway

>>397670
The room should have an exit...

>>397664

the creator of the game is a musician first. He's a music guy that just happens to dabble in games and weird imagery

It actually has a massive soundtrack.

The weird songs are filtered and altered versions of the main songs

WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL
FLOOR FLOOR FLOOR FLOOR FLOOR FLOOR

>>397689

nope, it's just been a recurring "ending" thing for the last few dreams. As in no matter where I am or what I'm doing, I'm suddenly teleported into that room with the stairway. There's no exits, and within a few seconds of reaching the top and looking at the moon, the dream ends.

The last 3 dreams have ended that way

>>397664
It's a CD with music the original mixes of the music that was featured in LSD and some of its remixes in the second CD.
I don't really know what's the third one (Lucy in the Sky with Dymanites), atcually, but I suppose it's more of the tracks that were featured in LSD.

I wish Bleem! LSD had FMVs and saving enabled

>realmyst-style remake of eastern mind
>all assets are recreated exactly, their creepy pre-rendered aesthetic kept intact

>>397750
I wonder if Osamu would allow that. He looks like a pretty cool guy.

>>397750
Sounds like funfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfunfun

>>397784
Clever.

>>397673
It would be "tsuki"
sperg sperg

>>397664
The video clips have great music. I found one on Youtube earlier but can't find it now.

Whoops nvm here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaR-czA-7eM

>>397904
You're right, and the fact I make such elementary mistakes means the letter I sent to Chu-Teng Guy is probably indecipherable. :c

>>397007
it's probably either an outdated but still valid reading or just a very uncommon reading of those two kanji in particular

>>398003
"I am single to salute and wait for answer again."

>>397664
>soundtrack
downloaded it, its great, mostly just the FMV and intro tracks, rather than ingame suff

Lucy in the sky with dynamites is more like this ongoing thing were track by track the song switches up

so anyone familiar with this playthrough?

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC27A11B97FF7EE1F

>>397719
the wall directly opposite the bottom of the stairwell is the exit. It leads out onto the street of the kyoto period setting. You can also go back into that particular wall of the building from outside to go back into it.

>>398130

Didn't he just sort of... stop playing LSD? I remember he made a good amount of progress, and it seemed like he was discovering all sorts of stuff, making maps and shit. I think he's also who uploaded scans of the Lovely Sweet Dreams booklet?

>>398147
I assume its basically just he ran out of interesting shit to do, playing that many hours of that game can do that, he found a way to map the lands, got the all FMV event with the green tiles, its mostly just trying to find new stuff in the sea of stuff that always happens.

He now just livestreams on weekends, and most requests about LSD are met with "im done with that"

>>398130

I watched a couple of his videos and just can't really stand listening to him ramble.

He sounds like an idiot stoner trying to be philosophical but failing pretty hard at it.

>>398175
He should put up his iso for download and let someone else carry the torch, so people don't have to start all over. It'd make science easier...

>>398178
I think he's your stereotypical fat guy "loser" but I'm not sure. I think he's fat, I think in one of his videos there was footage of his arms and they were HUGE. Or maybe that was someone else.

But I don't want to sound mean and judgmental... I watched a few of his other LPs, too.

>>398204
I'm a reguar of his streams, recently he finished Miasmata, he mostly does crap RPG maker games that people suggest, and he recently did SNATCHER for a Christmas eve special that I missed most of because of fucking work.

>>398218
Maybe I should follow his streams. I only watched his older stuff that was already complete.

I'm going too off topic now, sorry.

If anyone's interested, I have the entire LSD OST, along with a good number of remixes by famous Japanese artists.

>>397602
Like being in a bad dream, or a bad game

I found Eastern Mind far more enjoyable. Actual premise, goal, things to do, without bad controls, 5 foot render distance, and unbearable footsteps

Not to be rude

But I'd recommend it instead

>>398475
the remixes aren't by Japanese artists exclusively, just fyi.

also bump

That's some trippy ass shit right here.

Liquid Shit Death

>>396751
I found similar information last thread too, even some sort of review I think, that or a description of the game.

It's all in Japanese of course, made a pastebin backup containing the text (which has the source link in it too)

http://pastebin.com/4X1TSPQH

Also highly unlikely and doubtful, but what if the OST CD has the game on there? Or bundled with it, and no one mentioned it?

Cross-post. It's about the in-game music.
>>409324

Why do people enjoy this game so much?
I've watched a few gameplay vids and tried to play a ROM.
I just don't fucking get it.

>>409512
It's just an exploration game with a large "random" element. You never know what you're going to see.

I think most of the praise comes from people who would love to see someone make something similar, but there isn't anything else like it at all.

if anyone wants to take the liberty to translate this image, chu-teng is shown under 1995 near Eastern Mind.

Link: http://www.osd.co.jp/new_web/?profile.html

>>409864
Translation of the one line about Chu-Teng on the right:

>1995年 「中天」 (ソニー・ミュージックエンタテインメント)
>1995 "Chu-Teng" (Sony Music Entertainment)

cbf to translate the rest because leaving for school in like 10 minutes
I translated so much ikr
What still confuses me is why a game would be released under the music division of Sony when it's a game. I get that Sato was mainly a musician, but if it's a game it's not a music release.
>shrug

>>411551
But Eastern Minds was also released by Sony Music Entertainment

>>411551
Then the same confusion applies to that.

>>411651
was meant to reply to
>>411602
I don't know what I'm doing

>>411551
Assuming this thread is still up or there's a different thread around, would you be willing to translate the block of text in >>405307 as well?

I think it's a review of the game going by where the text came from.

>>411551
>I get that Sato was mainly a musician

I'm going to guess that's the reason. Sato probably worked for the music entertainment division of Sony, not the computer entertainment division.

In a lot of large companies, different divisions might as well be entirely separate companies. Not only would it be a pain in the ass on a corporate level to have him transfer over or do work for two different divisions, but that means that the computer entertainment division would be making money off a music entertainment division employee, and the music division wouldn't want to lose that profit.

Yeah I know it's all Sony so the money ends up going to the same investors, but it's just how mega corporations are structured; divisions actually compete against each other and don't want to share people/profit

>>412270
I'll try later today. I only know Japanese as a second language so I won't understand it completely though.

>>396819

Hay guise here are the files from the Osamu Sato - Equal CD I received today. I love it!

http://rapidshare.com/files/2762025296/Osamu%20Sato%20-%20Equal.zip

It's a european version by S3 records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.

Oh and I found the japanese wiki of Osamu Sato.

Thanks man, finished the download!

Would you be willing/able to do any album scans at all too?

For future reference, use mega instead of rapidshare. It blows the latter out of the water.

>>413581
I have no scanner but there are a couple of places where I could do it. It will take some time, but the album art is lush. It has to be on the internet.
