The day has come that Takeshima Eku draws /ourgirl/
Not the character, but literally /ourgirl/
Who are the /ourgirl/s of /mbgg/?
Delmin is definitely one of them. Also, congrats SB69 for ranking 25th in the Sanrio rankings.
>>49640615 (OP)T7S already reached 11 years. Soon it will reach the 12th.

Why is this allowed?

To the Compass anons, unironically sell us on the game. Like, why should we pick it up over others? No, not just because it's still alive and is not in danger of dying anytime soon.
>>49652280Because it's fun

>>49662138As a casual player who's only in it for the rhythm game, the pace of new song releases slowed a lot and they went harder on the metaverse shit.

>>49682744Showa, Heisei or Reiwa?
Now that I think about it both turn based rpg Idolge went down in an inglorious blaze- Lapis and PTD. Is training simulation (click button) and rhythm (spam click button automatically) the only genre that works?
>>49682758You have to scratch and flip in D4DJ though
Did the non MC girls in Ray ever show up again in the games?
>>49683588I think at least some showed up in BRS?
It's so weird to see my coworkers suddenly being obsessed over the fucking horse kusoge when they never touched any gacha before. I guess this is the power of streamer shilling.
>>49685900Real fun is counting how many of them still playing 6 months later.
>>49685900>>49685957This applies to gacha players too though. Many are gachahoppers that are excited for every game for a few months but then move on to the next one after the initial hype they feel is gone.
>>49685957>>49686080It's the right way to play gacha or any game in general. It's weird to stay obsessed with a single one for years, especially when you just do repetitive daily tasks. It essentially becomes your job because you're playing for currency you could be buying with money.
>>49686116I have been playing Tokyo 7th sisters for close to 11 years so no. No to hopping.
>>49686120Does that even still get new gameplay or content updates that aren't new cards/units?
>>49686116Nothing more impressive than people who still obsessively play games like Kancolle for over a decade. I can't tell if it's dedication or just insanity.
>>49686174>11 years of Orel cruisinghttps://youtu.be/lw7IA1AEVVA?si=WQaGhlLaA_3e6iQm
Looks like they updated all the stages at some point though.
>>49686122Raids are back, there's now 2 rhythm game systems, story and music get dropped every few months.
So good old T7S but with less variety in events.
>>49686116Some games have great replay value and more fun the more you play it and really deserve the lifespan. Like #COMPASS and chess.
>>49686120This but D4DJ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIZK_ojUMws
>>49686570Yes, PVP games have the advantage of opposing players being new content itself. After a point you always learn how to game the PC in PvE.

>>49640615 (OP)Are there foolproof ways you can teach me to make a japanese google account? I don't want to switch region on my main account because I need it for contactless payments still. SIdeloading isn't an option because google play services are being enforced
>>49694440>use second space/phone/whatever>JP VPN>get JP phone from online service to receive SMS>create new google account using that throwaway
>>49694565Actually I managed to use my very own phone to register a new account. I only used it for the anti bot step and didn't pair it to the new account. Also used a third party email (outlook) instead of creating a gmail one. I proceeded to set a fake payment method with a japanese address. The payment setting failed but the address remained. Using a JP vpn convinced the play store I was japanese and I could finally search for japanese apps
>>49693959Are we alive? The image has been posted almost every thread yet someone doesn't remember it. The slow thread magic is working.
>>49695588It is alive in our hearts

Kusoges are ultimately meaningless. They're monetized visual novels, but their structure makes it impossible for most to see character arcs through to a proper end. It's like a manga that releases one chapter every eight months and gets axed before it concludes.

>>49720908Someone is forgetting hwat muvluv was at first: Romcom school with no suits or even robots.
>>49721062And they can't even stick to that. Now they have romcom school with robots fighting something that isn't even beta. They simply don't know what they are even doing with this franchise anymore.
At least #COMPASS won't disappoint us
>>49720593The ones with pantsu and don't need to shill their cafes
>>49720647Looks yuri, I am in
>>49721851its not, you play male that has amnesia and because you spawn in naked the girls see your dick 5 minutes into the game
>>49721953Looks straight, I am in
>>49721953Holy kino
>>49721851You can see the male MC legs in the opening
So what is the issue if the MC is male?
>>49717373I think the biggest aspect that may lend itself to a mobage being 10+ is simple mobile-friendly but fun gameplay. Simple as in the game progression and can be played anywhere so it's mobile-friendly. Fun gameplay needs to be something fun you can just pick up and have fun without going too deep into progression and maybe a better gameplay loop. Also, being a social game helps for mobage, too. I know Shironeko is somewhat of a social game with coop.
>>49725360It's all about money. Development, promotion, update and maintenance costs. The "mobile friendly" and "fun" gameplay you talk about are synonyms for cheap.
Heavy promotion costs are what keeps killing /mbgg/'s favorite MMPs. The Lapis budget got strained so much they couldn't even afford a launch campaign.
>>49726107I don't think there was any budget to begin with for Lapis once Corona killed their first live
>>49720647Whatever this is it can't be worse than
>Alternate East Germany>Ackshually the National Volksarmee are good guys who want to coup the state and restore democracy>It's the Stasi who were the bad guys.
>>49726294Would Lapis still be around today if Covid didn't kill their lives and delay their game development?
>>49726525I assume you only watched the shit anime because in the VN the rebellion is full of literal delusional terrorists that want to shoot innocent people

It's been nine years since Alternative Girls/2 launched (over three years since it ended services) and it seems they are planning for another special again.
>>49739198I'm kinda surprised WDS is still alive
>>49735863Pretty sure 12 year old mobage are already dead or look worse, so nope. That gaslight is not going to work.
>>49743361It doesn't look that much better than Brave Frontier.
>>49734911it's set in a new parralel world without BETA where the pilots attend a school that trains them to explore an underground world filled with fantasy creatures in order to mine rocks for capitalism, the mechs aren't evenc alled TSFs but "MGs"
the game director has gone on record about how he wants it to be non-depressing game because in his mind muv luv was completed with the original theory so approaching it from the same angle again is pointless
>>49744452speaking of which https://x.com/bf_legion/status/1945430251913515353

Where are all the pantsuge?
Don't you just love how every time the C game gets shilled here, most people don't care anyway
Why no new yurige? Did Towa Tsugai ruin the chances for more?
New map is out! Looks pretty cool. Interesting design, too. Will see how people play it.
>>49750116I like it a lot so far. Not really had anyone make use of the stairs on the sides so it has just been some good murderous brawling around C.
Also lasers absolutely everywhere
>>49725360Agreed with this. I unironically like Uma because it was actually made for mobile first, not some ported crap like Honkai or a fighting game. Honestly, the only real game type that works well on mobile is rhythm games. Shame Chinese devs can't compare to Japan if they somehow made Muse Dash blow up then maybe. But that’s not their business model.
Thoughts on the collab costume? I don't know the series. Do they just wear the same uniforms?
How Re:Stage is still alive and outlived so many MMPs needs to be studied.
