Previous thread: >>49698992

This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.

What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished?

AI slop is gay
chew your own food, faggot dalit jeets

How would you rank the entires in the Kyonyuu Fantasy series?

one week before gyaru games

Thoughts on the AI-generated backgrounds in the new Laplacian game? I think it's cool how much variety the game has since there are so many of them.

Reminder to report and ignore.

Reppsting. what's the best lolige? I want a game full of lolis. been a while since I played one. bonus point if it has an oyakodon ending. Not a big fan of shota MCs, but it is what it is.

>>49753982
Monobeno and it's not even really a competition.

>>49753946
Of the ones I've played it'd be 2>1>3 imo. Includes the fandisks

>>49753984
You see, I have always feared to read it because isn't it one of those untranslatable kamige? I heard that it's really rough and my Japanese is shit.

>>49754011
untranslatable because westoid trash cant take lolige

>>49754013
Which version should I play?

>>49754043

>>49753958
Is it only the backgrounds that are AI generated?
The sprites also look AI assisted at the very least.

>>49754075
not him but thanks!

>>49754193
You can bet everything inside that shit is either fully generated or as you said, ai assisted where you let the AI do 70% if the work

>>49754075
Thanks bro. Is the genre really that dire that Monobeno is one of the few lolige worth a reading? What are other lolige worth a try?

>>49754075
No wonder lose went bankrupt lmao

>>49753958
how's their mtl? actually accurate or some kinda disaster?

>>49753958
>zun uses ai backgrounds for 2hu20
>laplacian new title uses ai
otaku is dead everything is over

>>49753918 (OP)
this was a funny pose

>>49753982
Musumate, the two heroines have different mothers and both have an oyakodon scene

>>49754356
mtlshit is always a disaster kek

>>49755370
it's pretty good nowadays but im just curious about that particular case due to jp devs utilizing it themselves. if it works they'll adapt AI for everything (not just TL) sooner

>>49755500
no it's not w

>>49755500
they used https://translate.dmm.com/game/en

>>49755580
yeah I heard, but I haven't seen it in use before so hard to gauge

>>49754407
>zun uses ai backgrounds for 2hu20
yikes

Our guys from Mikocon posted SubaHibi 15th Aniv, including Tsui no Sora 2025, which is nice, cause I don't need to unpack my copy just yet then.

>>49754011
Monobeno is a love letter to rural Japan and so has tons of hick Japanese accents. Monobeno is to the boonies what Maitetsu was to trains. It's not too hard to read so long as you can handle some slang. I think the untranslateable part mostly comes in because doing a literal translation would kill it, you'd need to have an bilingual accent expert on the team to make sure you're conveying the accents appropriately. It's doable, but the person with the appropriate skills and background to do it would cost way too much money to ever work on a VN.

On the topic of untranslatable kamige, maybe this is a newb question, but is there a specific reason Popotan has never been translated?

>>49757344
Mii. Westerers pop a vein whether they see a loli. Just look at the english comments of the OP on youtube.

>>49757392
I underestimated how many people like that are out there... Sad that a great game will go untranslated for a silly reason like that

>>49757344
There's no way in hell something with that aesthetic is going to get localized officially in this day and age.
And fan TLs? Over the last 2 decades the kind of person willing to spend months if not years of their free time to translate a single game have been soured on EOPs to hell and back and thus unwilling to translate.
>But what about AI jeets.
They can't grift retards with that, they are better off paywalling manga chapters.

Has anyone ever walked through SofMap or scrolled through Melon Books online store, saw enticing pictures on the cover of a game, and just bought it impulsively? Has anyone ever found any hidden gems doing this?

There’s just so many nukiges that look great.

Any VNs where male main character is exacting revenge on cheating wife/girlfriend? Don't give me shit like gatenkei please where I have to go through shitton of NTR scenes only to have wet fart revenge ending. 1 or 2 NTR scenes to set up the tone is fine, but more than that is taking too long.

Have people already read the 2025 Tsui no Sora Remake? I'm wondering how much new content there actually is since i don't feel like doing a full re-read

Anons how did you traverse the abyss(?) there is between all of the SOL / moege / most manga to playing the more serious VNs/LNs?
I can read the former easily, but trying to read some games, while I do enjoy them, they feel like they take too much effort with the constant metaphors, vague dialogue and rare kanji/words. Did you all just power through them?

>>49758803
I tried reading Umineko in Japanese but quit because it was too hard. I switched to a more slice of life game and have been working through it slowly. I too would like to know what people did to get into more serious works, but I fear the answer is just grinding more. I think you just have to spend many painful hours and there’s no way around it. But on the bright side going through SoL games feels like it’s helping me get used to understanding sentence structures and determining who is talking about who which would be much harder if there’s too many unknown kanjis in the sentence.

>>49758812
I feel like grinding more has to be the answer, but my issue is that most games I didn't really have any issues with (bunny black (1 at least havent touched the rest) , rance , disgaea , nanairo reincarnation (peak) ,蛇足(dont) ,tinkerbell)
But then it feels like there's just a huge chasm between those and for example ゴスデリ, just reading 1-1 feels like its too much. Grinding the former doesn't seem to help much.

陛下.......

>>49758532
basically no new content outside of more ayana futa porn, otherwise it's 1:1 with the 2020 version

>>49758803
You just take the jump. Think of reading your first more difficult "serious" VN as just like reading your first VN, it'll be slower and more difficult at first but will get much easier after some time.
It's an easy place to get stuck in since you feel like you've already "done the work" and can read easy stuff easily so going through that slight grind again for the harder stuff seems off putting.

You can just pick something that you know wont be super difficult to read first and ease into it, it's not like there's only super difficult and super easy, there's plenty of stuff in the "middle"

n+ stuff aside, any non-light chunige worth attention?

>>49759032
>more ayana futa porn
So the remake is better? Got it

>>49759186
Akatsuki works put out good stuff.
https://vndb.org/v12609

For example, I wanted to read it for a while and it looks like an hidden gem

>>49759186
Propeller.
>>49759321
It's alright. I don't think I'd call it a hidden gem, it's mostly pretty good but nothing spectacular, unless you really love chemistry and physics.

>>49758875
Gosuderi has some pretty intense vocab in the opening chuuni section but most of the game is (unfortunately) not like that. If you push through the hard stuff you might find that it is more readable than you thought.

>>49747948
>look it up
>it just whore coping: the musical

>>49759389
IFLUG

I took a break from VNs for a while playing nightreign, but I just feel to tired when I think about playing a VN, I can't believe this day has come... VNs used to be literally neccessary for my happiness, the emotions I felt from them were so strong I almost built my life around them excited to play a VN any moment I had a chance to, I never felt love in my life, never held a girl's hand or fell in love with anyone real, VNs give me someone to fall in love with and fulfill my emotional needs, but it's all going away now...

Why has this happened to me?...

>>49760121
maybe stop playing kusoge

What’s a good VN for an intermediate Japanear learner to play? I am only motivated by lolis btw

>>49760121
Strange. Whenever I went away to go play video games it makes me miss VNs even more so when I finish playing a game I'm feeling extra motivated to read a VN.

>>49758812
>>49758803
Just read them. Something that's moderately difficult would be good for making the jump. Or read easy stuff for another year and you'll be surprised by how much easier the harder stuff gets when you don't have to actively think about grammar.

>>49760360
Play any SoL stuff, romance stuff based in a daily life since the vocabulary will be easy

I don't usually play no sexual content ge, but decided to play manosaba on a whim and it was great in so many ways, I even wanted to talk to someone about it. But then I remembered I have no friends who play VNs, let alone new releases, so I went on X and there's like hundreds of people talking about it and like dozens do jikkoyus on youtube and twitch, is this how it feels to be into all-ages games?

>>49760481
Everyone is talking about ever17 while nobody talks about Iris when discussing KID, even though it's one of the very few romantic loli x shota game.

>>49760435
Thanks anon. So something like Cafe Stella?

>have to get a fulltime job
go on without me

>>49760941
You have consoomed enough. Now put out into the world

>>49760941
Condolences.

>>49760941
i wont lie to you anon its rough
it took a while for me to be able to get into the habbit of beating demoroalisation and being able to play games/read vns after work

>>49760836
Yes that is fine, is a little long if you are a newbie though, and the loli route there is a short one, well is not an actual loli but a womanlet

>>49760941
It's literally and unironically over for you, last time i had a full time job i was so beaten up when i came home that i would read for like 20 minutes and then lose all motivation to keep reading

>>49760941
It's really not that bad i still have a lot of time to read.
And when i really need to cope i use my paycheck to buy eroge.

I think hutapapa gave me a twintail fetish

>>49760481
Tell me about Manosaba, how is it?

Anons, is there a guide for Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai ~Prelude~? Can't find one at seiya-saiga.
There are some choices in some of the routes.

>>49753958
>Laplacian
Who cares about all ages slop?

>>49760941
>Fulltime
Kill yourself, I mean it, if you're literally throwing you entire life away going full time, it's part time or nothing if you want to actually live in society without compromising your happiness

>>49761520
You don't need one. Those routes are just part of the common route if the main game, you don't need to even bother with them. There's just 3 prelude scenarios to read plus an extra one that's unlocked after you skip past the main game parts.

Anyone know where there's a route guide for https://vndb.org/v243, I can't find one anywhere

>>49761590
found it on the first page
https://pianpianpian.web.fc2.com/game-ero-002.Touka-kouryaku.html

>>49761619
Thanks frend, nyehehe, I tricked a jop into getting a guide so I can MTL the VN

>>49761590
did you find the voice version of this?

>>49761520
If you reach a choice you might as well stop playing and play the game, you're just playin gthe trial at this ponit.

>>49762412
gthe ponit?

>>49762454
Look I'm a little drunk okay.

>>49762408

>>49759470
Since you love used goods so much

Lol why is she rubbing it in? That's just mean.

>>49763099

>>49761545
>Kill yourself, I mean it
that was always the plan, but after watching my brother die from cancer in the most miserable way you can imagine but still clinging to life the entire time I will never be able to actually do it. I'm not even religious or anything, it just feels wrong now.
Maybe I fall for the /biz/ meme and hope I can retire early

>>49763099
Thank otaku for making this flop so our medium could continue to be untainted for the years to come after that

>>49763528
As long as she’s rubbing you in this moment that’s all that matters. Can’t be too concerned with who a slut has been with in the past.

>>49763880
What's the name of this game so I will make it flop harder?

>bro is about to fall for mareni meme

>>49760974
>i wont lie to you anon its rough
Nta, but the roughest part for me would be even finding the job with no experience and no connections.
How do you anons overcome yourself after years of comfy NEET life? I get overwhelmed with dread when I look at job offers.
It's not that I won't be able to work. But with nobody to guide or to reassure me that the company I'm applying for is alright I get thought like
>What if they decide do dump all the blame on me if something goes wrong?
>What if I decide to leave and they'll spread the word about blacklisting me in other companies?
That is if I even get the job. I got rejected a lot in the past due to lack of experience.

Now I get why isekai genre got so popular. I'd feel less stressful gathering herbs and sorting documents for the adventurers guild.

>>49764849
I can't get one either. Haha

>>49764849
>How do you anons overcome yourself after years of comfy NEET life?
if youve never worked a job before and have been NEETING for long you have to start somewhere, be it retail/warehouse work whatever,
i graduated uni and couldnt find a job for a year or so until i finally lowered my standards and applied for a retail role, got promoted to management within a year and managed to transition to the head office for a marketing role in operations and it all started from there
retail work fucking sucks full-time but you could easily do it part time to not be a complete burden on your family, keep most of your time for hobbies and have a little money for yourself whilst building your skills for something else/resume

Kakyuusei 2 is very tame shit compared to games back in the day. I just read an eroge where the main plot twist is that the route's heroine had sex with a random guy on the street because she felt depressed one day. Eroge nowadays would never have the balls to do something like that, I miss the good old days.

>>49764924
stop derailing thread with your antineet zog sentiment

>>49764849
>How do you anons overcome yourself after years of comfy NEET life?
Nta, but I never did. Spent 5 years NEETing and reading eroge, then my friend offered me remote job. Pay is okay considering I only have to work for a few hours per day. Never really planned to live that long, but here we are. Officially still jobless, not paying taxes either, can't really image wasting time on real full-time job.

>>49764932
The average woman wasn't a massive whore 30 years ago so having whores in the media wasn't as much as problem, compared to todays where the overwhelming majority are whores, so why would you want to read that when you can just get the thing irl with no effort?
Same with moege about vanilla relationships and marriage being more popular now while if you release something like that 30 years ago it would flop, because, again, why would you read that when you can get the thing irl?

>>49765084
>can just get the thing irl with no effort
Except you can't?

Any of you guys try the patch for Fuuraiki from june? Saw it was MTL but think i might as well get textractor set up or even just learn jp at that point.

>>49765106
Wrong thread buddy, we don't read translations here.

>>49765113
thanks, me retard

>>49765084
>The average woman wasn't a massive whore 30 years ago
Japan has always had really high cheating rates idk what to tell you

>>49764932
>I just read an eroge where the main plot twist is that the route's heroine had sex with a random guy on the street because she felt depressed one day
Is it ren'ai game set in school? Is heroine in question a main heroine? That's a lot of context missing. Making childhood friend JK-aged main heroine date another guy in post-ToHeart era is not tame, it's suicide move lmao

>>49765174
>Making childhood friend JK-aged main heroine date another guy in post-ToHeart era is not tame, it's suicide move lmao
It's tame in comparison to the other games that Elf did. It's tame even in comparison to the previous titles in its own series.

>>49765084
>average woman wasn't a massive whore 30
lmfao

Are some of you guys really NEETs? I had the impression you guys were mostly rich kids who just live off of papas money and play eroge all day with no remorse. Sure beats having a full time job.

>>49764849
right now I'm looking at package delivery, I live in rural area so they always need drivers and the entire job is pretty much just me in a car dropping off shit to random places. Above minimum wage too.

>>49765352
if you can listen to your own shit in the car and just chill, sounds great

>>49765299
None of the previous Doukyuusei/Kakyuusei main heroines are non-virgin on start with a boyfriend. It's not just the virginity thing that makes people mad, it's the fact that they saw the PV,OP, anime adaptation, then paid like 8k yen expecting love love romance but got netori featuring retarded childhood friend that thinks hanging out frequently with (you) while already having a boyfriend is somehow acceptable. It's also on track with how elf frequently pulling tweeests on their later games.

>>49765562
>non-virgin on start with a boyfriend
Doukyuusei had a prostitute heroine though.

is doukyuusei a must play?

>>49765622
Yes,same for Hasshaku.

>>49765573
Not main heroine. Kakyuusei 2 also had the non virgin teachers and the street musician but only Tamaki gets the outrage. Not as bad as Minatsu in Kakyuusei whose hiding her whore status and even cuts you off if you pressed her for the truth, but still.

>>49765637
where did hasshaku come from? are you hasshakuanon or something

I haven't played any of these so I don't know the exact details but the situation and context matters. But childhood friend NTR in a setting where one reasonably expects vanilla romance is pretty wild to me no matter the year. That's quite a bit more left field in my barometer than "magical girl gets raped by tentacle monsters" even though the later, strictly speaking, is more "extreme" so to speak. You get what I mean.

What a nice cg, I sure hope it's not from a 100% gay h-scene.

Any recommendations for a VN/SLG with small breasted dark skinned/tanned babes? Besides yukikaze I guess, and ideally her having an actual route and not some short side slop (if it even has routes)

>>49765664
Is not actual NTR, they never became a couple, is not even cheating

Anyone playing the new Deep One? Hungry for 中二ゲー with good SFX and not sure if I should play the first one.

>>49767663
Yeah I'm playing it now. The games don't disappoint when it comes to production and special effects, but it's hard to recommend the first game since the plot is pretty mediocre and a big part of it ends up being a heavens feel bootleg.
The new game's set up is already more interesting than the family conflict shit from the first game and there's a proper antagonist group now, but there's been too much focus on fighting monsters instead of humans fighting each other so far (seems like it's starting to progress to conflict between characters at the point I just arrived at) and I'm still not sure if it'll end up being that much better. They go over quickly a few plot points about the first game at certain times and the game starts off with the MC already familiar with the world as opposed to the first game where he starts off as a normal guy and gets infodumped shit and whatnot. I'm not sure how much of that will be relevant later on in the story, but there's a glossary and so far you could probably follow along without having read the first. You'll quickly be spoiled some things like a first game antagonist's actual power and another character's secret identity though.
Usually I'd say always read the first game anyways but it doesn't feel right recommending a game that just isn't that great. Then again the new game could end up not so great as well, but anyways on the bright side both games give h-scenes to their lolis.

>>49766318
Ensemble just keeps getting gayer and gayer, it's wild. Maybe drawing traps for so long made them gay.

>>49767993
Preposterous

>>49767993
Might as well desu.

Finished all Akane's endings in kiminozo. All the bad endings are for comedic purpose. I noticed the true end is parallel of Mitsuki's true end (after leaving Haruka, MC and heroine hugging while crying) but Akane's one feels much anticlimactic imo. Also it's quite unsatisfying by only showing timeskip Haruka being healthy and all well ends well like what???

Heroine ranking: Akane > Mitsuki > Haruka
Route ranking: Mitsuki >>> (unsurpassable wall) >>> Akane > Haruka

>>49768199
Mitsuki is a homewrecker cunt that steals her own best friend's boyfriend and caused her to fall into coma because she insisted on dragging said boyfriend to buy her a present.
She deserves NOTHING.

>>49767663
>>49767775
It's hard to really say until the end imo, as some plot points seems connected to the first one like the loop thing, the atsushi stuff, but it also seems like two is doing its own thing
I read the author's interview, and iirc he said it would be more connected to the gacha than the first one, like 2's antag group
Also, so far the combat are way less directed than the first one, they don't move as much

>>49768199
I’m lagging a bit behind, almost at the Akane bad ending, but I hope to discuss it with you bros soon. The whole Haruka getting pregnant after they bang on the hospital bed thing is just wild.

>>49768360
the real cause of that accident is CAR DRIVER, also the MC had been keeping his eyes on Mitsuki even before going out with Haruka so it's also MC's fault for prioritize Mitsuki over Haruka bruh

>>49767663
Yeah, the battle in sequel much more fun than the first game

Hakuchuumu?

>>49767645
Ono-bros?!

>>49769649
There is, Helltaker, the guy literally made it for that reason.

ok Akane's afterstory is dumb, the main problem is "do you even love me???" because Takayuki won't let Akane to enter his room, misunderstandings here and there yada yada… that reminds me of how dumb Haruka's afterstory was but the duration is much longer than this. iirc Haruka's afterstory is 2x longer? Than Mitsuki's or Akane's so you can imagine the pain of Saucegate Kiminozo Ver.

Finished another route. That's 3/4 plus all the bad and side branches too.

Great game. Shouko route really surpised me. And now it's finally time for sibling love.

What's up with all side routes being happier endings than the main ones? Shouko has a bad and non-bad ends and you might as well switch them. Fine, I guess the bad one is worse, but not by all that much.

>>49770130
Everyone here stopped supporting him after he tried to rationalize aojashin getting censored because he wanted and not because it was the only way to get inside steam without risking a ban

How do you feel about eroge that get FDs only featuring heroines you didn't like that much?
Do you still read those?

>>49770712
Why would I? Reading through something with only heroines I don't like sounds like torture.

>>49770730
Maybe the FD adds armpit sex scenes which benefit her character development?

That's just him being chuuni.

>>49770410
"What am I to you" ahh kind of crappy drama

Do you know if there's a proper name or term for old women dressing as high schoolers and such?

Finished Antori - Prelude to War.
Basically just something short and sweet to tide you over until cold war. Natore's append was an expansion of her flashback in the original, Estelle's was a cute short side story that didn't amount to much, and Milly's was essentially providing a status quo update so you're ready for Cold War, it was a lot of exposition. I enjoyed it, but you should probably wait until Cold War is closer to read it because I think I'm probably gonna forget a lot of the exposition and have to be reminded.

>>49772739
"Sex itself".
Pictured cute MC's aunt in her school uniform, no route. Just a what if bad end rape scene.

Why is every download of Gals Fiction a shitty chinese MTL?

i only watched amagami anime but it uses cute music during slight tension, like when the mc jumps into the pool while chasing nanasaki. it conveys character emotions well and makes the scene emotionally resonant. what VNs do that kind of music placement during slight tension slice of life scenes best?

>>49772798

>>49772909
why is it that people always upload the translation but you can never find the original raws anywhere for some things, like manga and LNs are always like this

>>49775109
I remember having to jump through a lot of hoops and relying on some page 3 link on anime sharing just to get the raw version of leyline.

Nooooo. The one game that looked good out of everything for this and next month. And it's fucking Sazanami Suzu. I am so tired of her.

>How do you anons overcome yourself after years of comfy NEET life?
Whenever I got into a situation where I wasn't sure what to do, I asked myself what I thought Kazami Yuuji would do, and then I did that. I kept going until I overcame my social anxiety.
It worked out okay.

>>49766342
Lighter-skinned tan girl, but I enjoyed Aruru's route in 僕と恋するポンコツアクマ。

>>49772427
Depends on the route, but overall I would say no.

>>49772745
>you should probably wait until Cold War is closer to read it
Good idea, feel like I'll be blueballing myself reading it now when the sequel is still over a year away.

>>49766342
I was surprised by mei's route in cafe stella despite being my least favorite before doing it, the romance actually felt natural and dangerously realistic

>>49775854
>realistic
ntr in yuzuge?

If no one responds within one minute, I'm reading Rakuen.

>>49776084
Don't do it

>>49776086
nigger. okay Ruitomo

>>49775859
Sorry for getting your hopes up about the ntr, but now i realized that wasn't the most accurate word, "frightening realistic" would have been a better description.
Realistically most heroines are always outside of my range in the way that, irl, i would never be able to get into a relationship with them, but the way they made mei's relationship progression from friends to lovers made me think that actually felt achievable

>>49773742
I really liked Antori, I think it was one of the best releases of last year. It's essentially a spy drama like slow horses or tinker tailor set in a fantasy world after not-WWI between Vampire Nazi Germany, Magician JapAmerica, and Soviet Furry Russia. It does a lot of things that are pretty unusual for the genre and takes some pretty heavy swings. Plus the fact it's getting multiple sequels is pretty nice. Well worth a read if you like plotge and want something a little different.

Sibling love is beautiful.

How does that work?

Hulotte what the hell are you doing? Are we back in the age of VN adaptions?

>>49778441
Quit fooling. I don't believe you. On the 1% chance this is true, this is pretty depressing. Another eroge company biting the dust. I wasn't a huge Hulotte fan to begin with, but at least they had some nice h-scenes.

>>49778490
There's two eroge adapations in the current anime season. The Nukitashi one is even doing alright, popularity wise. I seriously doubt a Hulotte adaptation would do as well, of course.

Reached the final part. I wanted to go sleep few hours ago, but the game is just too good.

The fact that the ending where you decide to leave everything and live together with your imouto as lovers is treated as a good end by the flowchart (has the same color as other good ends) is mega based.

>>49778441
This medium is so finished, censorship to get on steam, AI, and now being soiled by anime adaptations

>>49778623
no one cares about steamcucks

>>49778441
I was dreading the worst since we haven't heard from Hulotte/CUBE for a while now but is this any better?

>>49778634
If CUFFS count, they're still doing stuff. They put out tir na nog last December and it was a pretty good read.

The poster of the original image on the nekonyan discord said it was deleted shortly after being posted. Could just be hoax

Is Shigatsu Youka actually that good?
Can I wait for the patch to give it modern moe artstyle or does that lose me all my hipster points?

>>49779372
yes you're only a true visualnovelman if you read the original
more importantly the remake is coming out in parts and the author isn't even sure they'll be able to complete all of it if the sales aren't good enough

>>49779390
Jesus, have we really reached the point where remasters have to be episodic AND may not even be finished? Visual novels are fucked.

>>49779428
To be fair it's really long and the original is a free doujin game. It'll probably sell enough and be completed since it seems to be popular with Chinese VN readers but either way for anyone waiting for the remake it'll probably be a long time until it's all out.

>>49772745
How did you install it? I'm having trouble to do it, it's asking me to install unravel trigger but it is already installed
the other one I downloaded needs a crack

>>49779764
I just reinstalled the game

>>49779764
I had to delete the game, redownload, and reinstall.

>>49779783
>>49779830
So uninstall unravel trigger, reinstall it, and then install prelude to war?
Did you put prelude to war files in the same folder as unravel trigger or not?

>>49778490
Nukitashi killed VNs for good. Sorry mate. Maybe the industry will heal in another... 10 or 15 years, assuming it's still alive then.

>>49779880
I did but I don't think you need to.

literally me

>>49778061
Fuck you for giving me that mental image

Sex with robotic childs.

>>49779428
Judging by author's twitter it will be more than just remaster, because there will be new character and she is also writing how she is working on plot for commercial version(implying it's different from the original)
So reading original is not a waste of time

>>49778061
I love making pregnant women prematurely giving birth with my dick.

don't worry, he's never been close enough to a woman to make that happen anyways

>>49780675
The author is a woman? Holy shit you're making me regret I've played it for 20 minutes

Reading BST and its getting to the point wher these type B niggers are pissing me off
Ryou's imouto is a dog too

>>49778623
Don't worry they already got removed from Steam. Steam also got fucked over by card companies (and the group behind them) lol. Maybe I can see murrica anons here being banned from owning porn in my life time after all.

>>49781267
those brute force niggers, in whatever field they are, always piss others off

100% finished Tasogare no Sinsemilla.
Final rating 10/10.
I'm sure this doesn't need saying here, but imoutos are special and love between siblings is beautiful.

Game was different than I expected, focused mostly on daily life plus some folklore research, not fighting monsters etc.
This made the more dramatic or tragic parts like the past backstory or Shouko route endings give bit of a whiplash, but I suppose that's the writer's intent.
One recent EGS review says
>読後に静かで大きな余韻を残し、強烈な山場があるというより、気づけば心の深いところをじわりと掴まれている、そんな作品
which captures my feelings well too.

The early bad endings where you decide to stop following on things really stuck with me. They're short bad endings, mostly to have more choices and more branches in the flowchart, I guess, but they the regret of making the wrong choice very powerfully.

Of course, Sakuya, the imouto, is clearly the main heroine, but the other routes had very good romance too.
Wish your aunt Satsuki had a route too. She has a husband, but he's away for work and never appears, might have as well been a widow or divorced. And it's not like having an aunt route should be an issue, when they already have a cousin route and an imouto true route.

Shouko route and Sachiko subroute are very lolige-style. For Shouko, there are supernatural circumstances to why they have sex so early, but for Sachiko, MC is like "she's a kid, but I want her".

Will read the fandisc and extras now. You should read the game, if the tags interest you. To me it's one of the best games I read so far.

>>49781194
Some chinks refer to her with female pronouns. There is no real indication behind that. Having main female cast while not being yurifag and not intending it to be yuri-like might be also a hint.
Could be a man though.

>>49781528
If I had played it, I would probably be able to tell. My radar rarely fails.

My gyaruge arrived!

>>49781474
interesting, how long is the game?

>>49782194
I don't really measure my playtime, but I want to say maybe 30-40 hours. I played it over two weeks, each time 2-3 hours.

It was an enjoyable read for me. Not hard, the text itself never felt boring or weird etc. And the flowchart system means it's clear when a scene ends, so you can easily stop when you feel like it.

>>49782247
i see, thanks anon. i'll try it for the imouto

>>49780691
need more VNs like this to save the industry

>>49781315
Dont worry i say back at you, AI is already more of a problem any censorship ever was and is just getting more popular each year, that is the actual eroge killer

>>49776091
No. I'm reading that one. You do something else

this game is hilarious, if you trigger the "attack" in the classroom things like this just casually happen in front of everyone and no one says anything. personally i think it would of been more interesting if the class reacted to the couple kissing うわーあの2人は教室でイチャイチャするなんてすごい！

amagami prototype, these two are in the same club as narumi and have the same personality as their counterparts from the 90s. kimikiss is set in the same year it was released.

>>49784846
It's the same shit in Amagami. However if you are pursuing two girls at once and one of them sees you attacking the girl in public there's a jealousy scene and the possibility of a bad end. It's more fun to play the game pursuing two girls at once because of this.

>>49784846
Which girl are you planning to do?
Without the system amagami had it can be annoying to read my fav scene without a scene viewer

Is クリミナルボーダー good as a crime/thriller kind of story? I don't care about the r18 content

>>49785699
It's the story of a regular ordinary guy who needs money and accidentally invents a super drug that he tries to monetize but by doing so gets involved in the criminal underworld and gets deeper and deeper involved as he tries to pull his way out, discovering he has a knack for it and he enjoys it.
It's very original.

>>49785704
Sounds like a fun read, thanks

>>49785338
I did Narumi's route first because I read she was the least popular heroine. Now I will probably do Futami's route because she seems like best girl. The system is similar to Amagami but different. If I didn't read the guide I wouldn't of been able to complete even Narumi's route on the first try because the game is pretty rng based unlike Amagami. In Kimikiss you have a "topic bag" that contains 16 topics, you should select a topic bag based on the girl you are trying to win. When you go around the school you have 4 time periods like Amagami but unless there is a story event it isn't guranteeded that any girl will be the same spot and not only that but the beginning she might even refuse to talk to you but you just have to be persist and keep stalking her based on the locations that are indicated in the guide. Once you acutally talk to a girl you will start a "matching conversation" with her and you will be able to select topics from your topic bag that you think match her bag. Girls have 16 topics like you, however it changes everyday to pick only 8 random topics so the topic that you used yesterday won't work again today. Not only that but you are also not able to select a topic that already has been use in that day if you talk to her more than once. If you sucessfully match conversations with one the girl has in her bag you will gain either suki or nakayoshi points which are required to reach an ending. There is also 4 different levels to nakayoshi or suki and in order to progress to the next level you need to "attack" and this will only be sucessful if her "tension" is high enough. This combined with there being a hard timelimit (30 in game days) to win a heroine before the school festival results in a system in which the player may not even be able sucessfully win the girl of his choice if you don't raise your affection points high enough in the beginning.

>>49781474
Will read this one sometime soon, sounds good and I enjoyed the other stuff from that writer I read

>>49787387
Yeah, I read Tsukikage no Simulacre by him few years ago. It was much more horror focused than TasoSin (which has some horror-style moments at most), and pretty good too.

Are all of the routes in Yosuga no Sora the same length or are some noticeably longer/shorter than others?

i hope avesta will be available from the west and not region locked...

Looks like Key's gachashit imploded lol
Good

>>49788165

Anyone know if this guy two games uploaded somewhere?

Jeux bleu and Сhild of Doppelgänger
They’re both extremely cheap but having trouble buying from booth somehow

>>49788321
>>49788382
Cardinal sin of gacha, they nerfed the whales (and basically everyone else as well while also introducing mechanics that incentivise whaling). Before the drama player interest and revenue was already dwindling because of slow story, updates, bad unit balance and chinese/global servers getting better treatment compared to the JP server. Players were looking for a excuse to chimp out, which the developers handed on a gold platter in the form of back to back live streams full of baffling decisions.

Some of the drama already got addressed this week, but this Sunday is a big anniversary live stream, so we'll see what they have in store to turn it around.

>>49788451
ok so nothing actually happened besides the /vg/ thread having a chimpout then. fuck off

>>49788395
Anyone who can buy these please share, I also tried but can't buy anything from Booth anymore.

>>49787940
Only played Nao, Akira, and Sora routes so I can't say much, but basically the stories in each routes are mostly same lol… Sora's first day to school, Beach Event, Matsuri… man those events feels so repetitive, should be in Common Route instead

>>49788382
iirc the length are mostly the same I don't feel like Sora's route is longer or anything like that

>>49788042
Just pirate it like everyone else.

Has anyone here heard about a PS2-exclusive VN called Missing Blue? I am curious about it because its supposed to be very long (+100 hours long) and Akio Watanabe was the character designer yet no one talks about it since it is a console exclusive.

https://vndb.org/v1295

>>49788451
gacha fans are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. imagine playing a medium that's designed for the only purpose of going on for eternity until the higher ups decide its not making enough money and expecting said game to be good and remain good forever. insane.

>>49788956
Masada's games are some of the few things I'll gladly pay money for.

Does anyone have the Deep onE trial from 2010 when it was still doujin? All the mirrors I checked are dead.

>>49789376
Few years ago yes, but then I deleted the game.

>>49788816
Have they actually stopped playing? Review bombing is a meme

Start Meikei no Lupercalia.
First scene: cute girl dying.
Second scene: different cute girl declaring her hate of men, check VNDB, "Not Sexually Involved".

Yea, it's Lucle time.

>>49783673
AI won't matter lol. The ongoing censorship though is annoying since both the US and UK are trying to pass laws to force people to provide their IDs to access the internet. Even youtube is asking for IDs now.

>>49789664
Australia will also have ID laws starting in december

>>49789664
eu is also preparing it
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eu-age-verification

>>49789700
The Australian one specifically says the verification cannot be a government ID and are putting the burden on the websites to figure out how to verify the IDs from my understanding. How the governments everywhere don't see how any of these laws are an extreme privacy issue is beyond me

>>49789418
Even if it's not very good, I hope someone kept it on their drive somewhere.

>go to nicovideo too see japanese comments of Gunjou's OP because it's sounds great
>It's all military otakus and gripen wanking
Should've inserted some girls into the opening instead of planes.

>>49789070
was very surprised to find out BA's an outlier to this and has a finished story. If all of them were like that the medium could have been decent.

Hopefully the episodic VN trend doesn't continue since it's bound to end up the same way LNs do

>>49789070
Honkai Impact 3 have decent story and Part 1 is done. Part 2 is a slop and not worth it tho.

>>49789070
The obsession people have in wanting continuous content of something that'll unavoidably turn into shit and/or left unfinished is insane. Gacha being gambling shit is no longer the biggest issue in those games anymore, it's all the time wasting low quality crap people eat like cattle while real talent in the industry are driven out. Equivalent or even worse than a fat fuck American pigging out on McDonalds.

>>49789994
Besides you don't even need to pull or lvl up any characters to play through story, gama just offers you characters as it.

>>49789995
>Equivalent or even worse than a fat fuck American pigging out on McDonalds.

What about moebuta?

>>49790000
Moebutas are also fat fucks eating slop but that's probably more close to chowing down store bought desserts.

>>49790000
Moechads pay their games so they're not getting wiped by gachatards.
Plottards however are willingly getting milked by the corpos, which is why there are like 4 muv luv gacha attempts to extract the money from them. (Moechads just bankrupted themselves to buy their games AND fuel their gacha waifus)

>>49789815
>How the governments everywhere don't see how any of these laws are an extreme privacy issue is beyond me
They want you to become a good citizen and worship Big Brother while your overlords think of the chidren's pussies obviously.

>>49789815
The point is to create a digital identity and to link it to a real person.

>>49789664
Hasn't China been doing this for years already? Pretty sure you can't connect on a lot of their websites there without a chinese ID/chinese phone linked to your ID
The West is merely doing the same but worse since it's for their money/politics, and I guess buying VNs outside steam will be harder than it already is

>>49788260

>>49790197
Did he finally give up on the idea or is he still trying to do it? It's hilarious how out of all of the best VNs this centuries only Fate had a successful gacha.

>>49790283
More like only Takeuchi knows how to do business.

>>49790190
>>49789197
besides I don't even believe release still gonna happen in the end

>>49790209
Do you really want to be locked out of certain websites if you don't live in that country? China has a different government model than the West and in their case you can justify it a bit since they need that "little" control to keep their country from breaking down from its sheer size. Still not a good a idea to give a small group that much power though. A lot of govs suddently trying to monitor people online at the same time like this doesn't feel like a good sign. At least they were trying to be "subtle" before.

>>49790371
why is the steam page still up then, chud?

>>49789664
And to actually think there was an anon on here who mocked me for downloading hundreds of VN's I was interested in and stockpiling them on a HDD, whos laughing now?

>>49790459
But have you played any of them?

>>49790398
umm chuddy because it's not officially cancelled, but at the same time steam page still existing proves nothing?

>>49790563
why isn't the fact you even doubt if it will ever be released enough to want to support it if it does release? the vn industry is doing poorly enough as it is.

>>49790575
because release need to happen first before I can potentially support it?

>>49790578
you told us to "just pirate it like everyone else"

>>49790580
yes

>>49790283
irc he is still trying to do it, though he still didn't release the first part of Avesta, and it's been like 4 years since the recording and CGs were done
with how incompetent the team working with him and yuusuke is, I don't expect his gacha to ever release

>>49790459
Reminder in 10 years when they pass a law to consider illegal all those highschool uniforms you will be left with the equivalent of cp in your hdd stored there just like i predicted years ago
No, the "they are all over 18" wont apply anymore.

>>49790609
You have to stay positive anon, at least westoid eroge market is going to be annihilated and eops gonna die.

Read through the Tasogare no Sinsemilla parts in the fandisc. It's mostly fluff plus some extra reveals to details from the main game. Very nice overall.

Though I certainly didn't expect the MC to plap his time-travelling daughter.

>>49790631
>spoiler
what

>>49790620
You see the west losing eroge market and losing influence on what japan makes
I see japan censoring itself even further to get overseas money
You see delusions and see the real picture

>>49790880
Thanks as well, I'll give these a try some time.

>Buyee doesn't let you import eroges anymore bc paiement processor
Really now? At this point we won't be able to impot eroge anymore on any proxy website nor official store next year

Wait are you fucking serious? I don't use buyee, but that's really concerning.

>>49790557
Quite alot of them yeah, they were instrumental to my life and I've made sure to keep all the VN's that mattered alot to me safe for nostalgiac reading when I'm 90yo

This is concerning i might need to start going directly to Japan if i want to get my hands on some physical games....

>>49792347
i've came to the conclusion in that very specific scenario it doesn't count but it wraps back to my original question, is it in essence NTR? it's depraved and disgusting but i feel like it's on another and different level from ntr
