Thread 50160198

Previous thread: >>50137369

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?

I am angry. ANGRY ABOUT ELVES

>>50160198 (OP)
I want to rape elves that act like this

>>50158295
If nothing works, try asking in the discord of vnwiki, those guys do testing and handhold people during installations.
At this point, you might as well try that.

>>50160225
Ok

still on common route on Lemonade, had no time to read due to collecting scenes from all the visual novel gacha collaborations lately

Anyone know how to make the renji-xd texthooker popup extend more vertically? The most It'll do for me is 899.60px

>>50157719
>bst is more of an atmospheric piece without much that's unique to show or say
Dumb take. BST is Setoguchi's best work by far, you're probably one of the people that think that if a game doesn't have a scene where the writer tells the message to you directly it means the game has "nothing to say". Stick to sca-ji games, kid.

>>50161859
bst is to setoguchi what tsukihime is to nasu
it's just his wish fulfillment fantasy
not theme focused like mahoyo or swan song
most vinnie fans like it the most out of setoguchi's works because it's long and atmospheric
explain why this is wrong

>>50161961
>bst is to setoguchi what tsukihime is to nasu
The best work of the author? Agreed.

>>50162040
mahoyo is better though tsukihime remake is probably the most enjoyable vinnie

Ryukishi is the GOAT

Setoguchi and Nasu are mid

>>50160198 (OP)
1 taste of human cock later:

>>50162053
If your only measure of enjoyment is fancy production values I guess. I myself enjoyed the complete game more than half of it.

>>50162077
>I myself enjoyed the complete game more than half of it.
But anon, they're BOTH incomplete.

>>50161961
>BST isn't theme focused because it doesn't have a scene where the main character turns to the screen and says "life is le bad....but it is also le good!'

>>50162093
>scene where the main character turns to the screen and says "life is le bad....but it is also le good!'
it literally does that in a scifi context at the end with how a child version of the mc is returned back to life

>>50162053
>mahoyo is better
mahoyo sucked
that dog punch was so retarded and lame

>>50161859
setoguchi circlejerking while putting down scaji is the most common anti-otaku behavior trend here. stick to westoid media if you like realism and dislike otaku absurdism, kiddo

>>50162182
>not liking my favorite writer is anti-otaku behavior
Mental retardation

>>50162182
howard? shouldn't you be working on your game?

>>50162182
all the real otakus left for discord years ago broski kek

>>50162196
define "real otaku"

>>50162193
who?

>>50162213
those who enjoyed japanese culture before it became mainstream. let's say any /jp/fag until 2010

>>50162222
why is this a competition of who arrived first, i was born in the early 2000s and i'm more of an otaku than most of those pre2010jpfags

>>50162225
>was born in the early 2000s
You're a child.

>>50162225
>i'm more of an otaku than most of those pre2010jpfags
It's cute that you have to keep saying it over and over again.
Unfortunately, the “otaku” culture back then and now is very different. Your parents made you too late.

>>50162227
>>50162236
cope, the otaku fire is a matter of the spirit. read dostoevsky or shakespeare tell me they weren't one of us

>>50162248
shakespeare was clearly too much of a normie and spent way too much time around actual people to be one of us

>>50162248
off topic but mishima would have hated muramasa

>>50162253
Because it isn't homo erotic enough?

>>50162248
The fact that your only way of communicating is through shitposting shows that you're way too late to the party, anon.

Guys I am a gen alpha and I like eroge very much

>>50162267
What's the best fortnite season and what's your favorite eroge

>>50162248
no way fag I only read things written by the Japanese

>>50162175
that has its lore based reasons, and that scene is why it's called a chuunige. i like mahoyo for the feeling of "having badass friends" that it gives you. there's zero romance in it. even for a misogynist like me, it feels like the two women next to you are special individuals. shizuki is special in his own way compared to other shirou or shiki, mostly normal men flung into something way above their pay grade. in that sense i believe it's a work where nasu is trying an idea that's above him (and succeeding). which is why i'd say it's his best work.

>>50162275
My favourite is Skibidi Toilet collab in Fortnite was added in Chapter 6, update v33.11, which corresponds to Chapter 6 – Season 1.
And subahibi is my favourite Mamiya takuji is literally me

>>50162222
that's a terrible fucking definition

>>50162290
based alphie

>>50162219
the guy above you, otaku prophet eceleb

>>50162319
looks like a kike. probably just trying to make some money from insecure retards who want to feel special, "otaku" in this case

>>50162252
>was clearly too much of a normie
All VN writers mentioned ITT are normies who fucked women. Well, maybe r07 is a virgin. He does seem like one.

Is there any information Kikakuya operates?

my ranking system? redeemed
seething contrarian? put down

Is this the best image that JOP have?

>>50162182
Well said.

was this post atrisister's swan song before he gave up his life to save our imageboard... >>49318340

>>50162561
i had a screenshot of the reddit post where an eop was complaining about texthooker not working with rance x, and the screeshot showing the chinese version of the game

I don't really like Marimo's new art, Michiru's is fine though.

>>50162956
soulless

What was up with *that* ending in the new Purple Soft game? Felt completely out of character for the protag.

>>50162561
otaku culture

>>50162956
It's hit and miss.

>>50163031
Coolest part of the game desu

Played too many VNs now I'm tired of them, tired of the same repatative drama over and over.
It's over...

>>50163467
Read different genres?

my wife

>>50163485
I only care for the romance, I'm not into chuuni shit

>>50163503
You know there's more genres than just "romance" and "chuuni" right? lol

>>50163467
Take a break and entertain yourself with other stuff, games, anime, real movies, etc

>>50163503
play this game and let me know how it is
https://vndb.org/v2806

>>50163560
>Non Looping BGM
>No Skip Read Text Option
>No Backlog
shame, looks cool

>>50163525
VNs generally fall into two types, high action/story heavy and eroge/romance go ahead and show me otherwise.

>>50163560
No lolis and no heroines that interest me, sorry pass.

>>50163603
so you just call every story heavy game chuuni?

>>50163633
Most story heavyge are chuunige, I'm just generalising

>>50163639
I don't think that's accurate. There's plenty of scenario-heavy games oriented around drama/romance or something else.

>>50163467
try reading a real book

>>50163673
This, once you experience inferior mediums you'll come back to VNs with a newfound appreciation.

>>50163673
I've read alot of them, any recommendations?

>>50163708
i don't actually read japanese books it was just a suggestion

>>50163711
Do you read english books then?

>>50163717
mostly military history and genreslop, and it feels wrong to discuss such a thing in the holy land that is /jp/

>>50163708
What genres? I might know something you'd like

>>50163738
Power fantasy, isekai, sci-fi, phycological
So long as it has an OP MC or MC with otherworldly knowledge, bonus if they're immortal or a robot.

I loved these books
Web Novels:
Legendary Mechanic
Reverend Insanity
Lord of Mysteries
Renegade Immortal
Release that Witch
Overlord

Real Books:
Undying Mercenaries series
Foundation series
Enders Game series
Understand
Metamorphosis of Prime Intillect
Blood Music

>>50163755
You're beyond help at this point.

>>50163761
I really don't understand what the hate is for power fantasy, it's fun.

any VN recs with interesting premises?

>>50163755
Read actual books like
The Wings
Faust
Don Quixote
Hell Screen
The Stranger
Dream of the Red Chamber
Wuthering Heights
Moby-Dick
Crime and Punishment
The Divine Comedy
Demian
Odyssey
The Metamorphosis

>>50163763
Whatever floats your boat but most people prefer to see the MC struggle and grow. Stories without any real tension are boring.

>>50163796
Except for having read The Stranger
They don't interest me sorry
>>50163803
I'm an older man, violence and meaningless conflicts no longer interest me

>>50163822
>violence and meaningless conflicts no longer interest me
You're the same guy that said you don't like chuuni? Kind of funny considering some of the WNs you liked

>>50163829
I don't see the connection

>>50163796
all D rank

>>50163822
Same here bro. I am Japanese salaryman and I understand the appeal of moege. I'm tired of the dick measuring of idiots on the Internet trying to prove how sophisticated their taste is to their e-bros. Sometimes you want a story that is raw and unfiltered, unashamed to cater to the interests of those battered and trapped by society and offering a brief moment of respite. It is only through life experience that you can understand that most fighting is ultimately futile. That is why the appeal of chuuni is mostly for the young and inexperienced. I too used to like chuuni 20 years ago but nowadays am less interested in it. Just follow your own taste.

Windows 10 support is gone (extended support will be gone in a few years) and W11 screwed up compatibility and doesn't play many eroge especially in the latest updates. Linux can't run some eroge OP videos and has a whole other slew of compatibility problems. A lot of eroge are about to become practically lost media...

>>50164452
I still use windows 7

I tried Lovepical-Poppy on Steam Deck using Proton, after the OP played the screen just went blank and the game wouldn't progress

>>50165083
are you using proton-ge 8.32 + jp locale? that fix 99% of problems

Oh wow, I didn't even realize Sui was voiced by Yanagi Hitomi while reading Nandome. Weird hearing her play a role that isn't overly genki.

>>50164452
Finally free of the cancer automatic updates, now 10 is truly good.

My windows 10 updated something yesterday lol

>>50165954
Mine did the final update a few hours ago, also updated a malware app but that is a small update that dont need restart. Now we are...FREE

The lion does not concern himself with collecting external ejaculation CGs.

Are there any rpg games/games with RPG elements that doesn't have any NTR or defeat rape scenes but also doesn't require autism to finish the game e.g. gather 100 crafting material to craft omgwtfbbq armor so you don't get one shotted by boss? I want something new, from at least 2020. No harem is a bonus, but that seems impossible to find with this kind of game. All age console games are fine but not the mainstream shit like persona or anything from leaf like Uta.

This woman is a berserker

>>50166225
>no harem
Impossible. Try this maker

Did the girl from the last purplesoft ge enter top 10 iconic VN characters of all time?

>>50166608
why would she? not anything particularly special about her

>>50166612
She's very popular

>>50166615
Really? The plot was good but Sui is a forgettable girl

>>50166608
lol
>>50166648
She got a super viral tweet of her thighs

Limelight patch is out
https://dlsoft.dmm.co.jp/detail/yuzu_0012/

>>50166684
lmao

>>50166684
It'll be finished when the next yuzu is out

how is white hair girl route in the new yuzu?

>>50166689
>>50166684
They must've released it a month early for some reason. Really should've delayed it, it's a bad look because now everyone will wait a month next time.
Glad to see visual novels are now turning into triple A games where if you buy it at launch you're an idiot and you have to wait a few months for it to be playable.

>>50166692
yuzutrash visual novels aren't real visual novels its just a slop for pigs

>>50166694
anti-Japan attack

>>50166695
nothing about yuzuslop is japanese since they did whole early access thing with day1 patches along with loli removal and complete nudity removal out of common route just to pander to steam and westoids
enabling yuzutrash is the real anti-japan attack here

>>50166697
so true sis

>>50166699
*xis

>>50166697
Despite all of that it's their highest rated game so far by otaku
curious

does the new yuzu have sexually arousing scenes in the common?

>>50166697
>removal of something that was never planned
Still going on about this? About time you take your meds, anon.

>>50166702
Everytime I enter Ririko's room I get sexually aroused from her outfit.

On a related note, this song from the OST is great.

This is a long shot, but anyone know of a VN that on the front cover are two girls in wedding dresses reaching their hands out forward? I’ve been trying to find it on vndb but no luck.

>>50166684
Can I get a direct link please?

what kind of fucking atogaki is this

>>50166684
Nice, finally

Test

Nice. I hate empty backgrounds

>>50166866
bravo setoguchi

>>50166684
Good to know that not only eroge is copying the cancer of remakes and remasters from the videogame industry, but also releasing incomplete shit because they already got paid before the game even releases

>>50166925
Newfags don't remember what is to actually release a broken game and experience the journey of the devs "trying" to fix it.

>>50166947
Are you defending Jewzu?

>>50166925
They just added stuff other companies don't bother with in the first place

>>50166967
Get the fuck out of here flaseflagging kike, yuzusofto is otaku core. go infiltrate some movies because you will never understand what makes otaku works tick

>>50166967
In layman's terms: Limelight is perfectly playable and better than Amakano 3 without the patch. A patch was released to further improve the quality. Problem? None at all.

>>50166998
>limelight is better than the other garbage also aimed at westoids
What a sad state of affairs the modern eroge discussions have arrived to...

>>50166684
I wonder how many games that get delayed is really just for stuff like this
For Yuzu they're kind of fucked when they start doing countdown videos 2 months before release and have multiple of them poking fun a delays and saying how they never do it.

What's the bugs with limelight? God damn it and I was so hyped to finally read something after a few months.

>>50167123
over span of 3 weeks they added sprites for like 7 side characters at this point
and some scenes into one of routes
>>50166998
I bet you love ubisoft and electronic art games too

>>50167130
Oh that's bad I'll take my sweet time with this then. Do the patches break the crack or can I just apply them?

>>50167150
they shouldn't break anything

>>50167161
Thanks

>>50166684
>play on release
>it's an inferior version

What character do you think is getting a sprite next? I'm thinking the Pink Material band member and Tsukimi's mother.

>>50167216
let's ask for them to allow us to vote for whose sprite we want

why y'all playing mid moesloppa/chuunishit instead of reading untranslated vns with 0 votes and helping the community?

>>50166684
wow... they released a patch to elevate that one anon's ranking calculation for the game from a c to a b

>>50167216
Seito kaichou and the male classmates, they need more men.

>>50167225
I help this community a lot by keeping a bunch of fake fantl projects, thus keeping other people with intention to actually translate said titles away. EOPs waste years of waiting for nonexistent releases as well, which honestly amuses me to the brim. Now say "thank you" and fuck off you stupid waste of shitposting oxygen,

>>50167234
no amount of patches will make it a B

>>50167238
>Seito kaichou
You're late, anon. He got a sprite 2 weeks ago alongside the Sensei.

>>50167239
>i spend my time seething
ok, but why not read an untranslated vn with 0 votes instead?

how long do i have to wait to play limelight if they're just releasing sprites, my biggest gripe with some vns is how empty they feel nowadays

>>50167256
Wait till the Friday after next. If there's no patch then you're probably good to start it.

>>50167256
Last time they said that there will be another patch. This time they didn't, so this is probably the last

Was this patched in or was it there from release? Definitely wasn't in the trial.

>>50167239
>I help this community a lot by keeping a bunch of fake fantl projects, thus keeping other people with intention to actually translate said titles away.
How does that help?

>>50167280
Wasn't in the initial release either

Is Sakura Taisen any good at romance?

>>50167305
Less stuff getting fan-translated so eops have less access to good stuff which results in high iq discussions with no eops around.

>>50167401
How many times did you see a high IQ discussion here?

>>50167404
0 so far, but someday it's going to happen

>>50167401
have you forgotten that yuzushit and amakuso are spammed exclusive by jops?

It feels good to meet people with whom I can seriously discuss eroge and not have to be alone, trapped in this nest of shitposters.

>>50167417
What do you have against pure love?

>>50167417
>spammed
They're barely ever posted here besides when one of them releases.

>>50167434
just pointing out that moege is a low iq genre

>>50167384
I only played 4 but most of it is just teasing. I think Sakura Wars excels at characters and gameplay since a steampunk 1920s mecha RPG is a good hook.

>>50167469
Better than chuunige

>>50167477
chuunige requires higher iq because of the purple prose

By the way, this lowercase poster is an EOP from /vn/ who doesn't know Japanese. Just ignore him.

>>50167532
proof?

>>50167547
Show your latest save file from the last untranslated VN you played.

>>50167550
i'm playing one right now

>>50167469
Maybe modern moege. A lot of 00's moege had some roots in realism and inspiration from TV dramas even if they were ultimately idealistic.

>>50167554
Which?

>>50167558
kimiita

>>50167560
Still mad over Ritsuko not having a route...

>>50167560
Then why not post about it rather than literal garbage?

>>50167564
you mean mitsuko? she has a bunch of h-scenes
>>50167566
i don't wanna spam here

>>50167573
>she has a bunch of h-scenes
Excluding yurishit? One on one with the MC? Which routes?

>>50167579
>One on one with the MC?
yes, one of the yayoi's bad endings, maybe more in other routes

>>50167579
Yeah. The MC has a few scenes with her as well. It's not a ton, but you can cheat with her and stuff.

>>50166866
lmao

Anyone know how long Limelight Lemonade common route is?

>>50167729
Pretty long, ends after chapter 6-5

>>50167756
I see thanks Anon

>>50167863
Lol no.

This but unironically.

Irosekai is a crying game.

>>50168191
Senshinkan

>>50168191
little busters

>>50168217
Does that have more of a focus on emotional stuff, compared to say, Fate, or just fun friendship SoL?

>>50167555
You cant base modern moege on modern realism because that would involve getting cheated on, the woman have had at least 10 partners before you, random outbursts, getting accused of metoo, she refusing to acknowledge her mistakes, and blaming everyone else except her. all of that is very different from what realism was considered in the 90s

>>50168256
t. divorced moege fan

>>50168256
truke though everybody already knows this

>>50168256
Add no fault divorce to that.

>>50168256
Yeah, we should go back to the pre moe days when there was ntr in dating sims and hoes everywhere

>>50168256
it's truly hard to believe you fucking retards actually think those things didn't happen in the past

>>50168389
This. Femoids have always been disgusting creatures.

>>50168256
I used to live with my sister when she was ~17-19, and she was dating 1 guy for like 4 years since 17 till 21, really nice dude, from rich family and buffed gigachad, treated my sister like a queen, and 1 of the years on february 13 her "first love" was in town, and she randomly cheated on him and on feb 14 morning he went to our house to surprise her on valentine, and the other guy had to jump into the bed I usually sleep in and she pretended it was me sleeping drunk(I was also out for valentines and she told me this later so I could go along with the story if her bf asked) and he never found out. And then when she was 21 she just randomly dumped him for another completely new dude and married him 6 months later....They have a kid now. Made me appreciate that I never found a girl I loved enough to date long term and found vinnies eventually.

>>50168389
Women used to get beaten when they stepped out of line for 99% of human history, this isn't me saying it, is history itself saying it.

>>50168392
and men don't cheat and try to stick their cocks into any wet hole they can find? nice double standard

>>50168401
Sounds like... her family didn't raise her right.

>>50168412
>>50168415
anti-otaku posts

A man is free to say woman is inefficient, illogical, dumb, but he shouldn't claim that she is immoral. That's to enter troon-zone of mixing up what each sex does.

>>50168428
Read he first reply again and this time knowing that im against modern realism of romance

>>50168435
The natural state of the female is disgusting. All real females should be exterminated and replaced with moege heroines.

The natural state of the otaku is disgusting. All real otaku should be exterminated and replaced with functioning members of society.

The older stuff had slut heroines and NTR moments more nonchalantly without highlighting it as if it wasn't remarkable because it was a little more realistic but also because they didn't think it was that bad. Now that the internet has fully exposed the sexes to the true character of the opposite, which really makes a lot of people badly jaded in a way that wasn't possible up until now, leaning hard into idealistic fantasies is more appealing. Before the fantasy is "the ideal (existing) woman" now it's "the ideal (impossible) woman" because people have gone from fantasizing about being with a nice girl (aspirant) to fantasizing about being with a girl while regarding real girls as undesirable rather than difficult to attain

>>50168256
>the woman have had at least 10 partners before you
How many eroge heroines, hentai girls, and JAV/porn stars have you jerking off to? I bet you believe in pair bonding, so how could you pair bond with anyone after orgasming to 100,000 different women? And how many men in relationships continue to jerk off to porn while neglecting their girlfriend/wife? I bet you don't consider that a form of infidelity, how convenient.

>>50168256
>the woman have had at least 10 partners before you
Now how many eroge heroines, hentai girls, and JAV/porn stars have you jerked off to over your lifetime? I bet you believe in pair bonding too, so how could you pair bond with anyone after ejaculating to 100,000 different women? And how many men in relationships continue to jerk off to porn while dodging sex with their girlfriend/wife because fapping to pixels on a screen is easier than being intimate with another person? I bet you don't consider that a form of infidelity. How convenient.

men and women are different, not giving you any (You)s

I don't care if a girl masturbates 10 times a day to yaoi or whatever. That's obviously quite different than being the town bicycle. What a strange false equivalence. Of course, it goes without saying that if you are in a relationship and not meeting the sexual needs of the other person, you're in the wrong.

>>50168958
Real life and fiction are two different things, they aren't real.
>And how many men in relationships continue to jerk off to porn while dodging sex with their girlfriend/wife
Those are fucked and are proving why you should stick to 2D instead of trying to roulette of real life relationships

>>50169130
>Real life and fiction are two different things,
sca_di deboonked this multiple times

I don’t know if it’s because of adding the new artist, but a lot of the art and CGs just didn’t look right to me, the shading especially didn’t really look like Yuzusoft’s typical style, and patching in all those sprites and miscellaneous CGs after the fact sure doesn’t alleviate the feeling that the art was super rushed if not outright unfinished.

>>50169306
Looked fine to me besides some of Tsukimi's CGs and her design

She didn't have any art before the new patch right? She was invisible in the scene I read yesterday. She's a cutie

>>50169536
She got a sprite from the first patch.

not sure if she was better than yayoi, i got a lot of 2dpd-vibes from michiru

akira still looks like the best girl, gonna do her route for last

>>50169578
I honestly enjoyed the drama and the autistic yelling at then end of that one.

>>50169664
i like more the "bad" end where mc starts living with both michiru and akira while completely forgetting about photography

also is it just me or marika's va is shit?

Finally got done with Noshoujo, and I have to say it was disappointing.
Tricked yet again by /vn/ shilling I guess.
The MC is an absolute bellend too, he's in that really annoying category of degenerate where; he's not funny, has no backbone or redeeming qualities, but just apologizes all the time without ever changing.

Also fuck pissfags, not only do they piss way too often, they made sure to make everyone as dehydrated as possible.
I remember people saying this was a 10/10 lolige when I was an eop. wtf

>>50169964
>Also fuck pissfags
Agreed.

Anyone feel strongly about Littlewitch? All of their stuff seems pretty high quality from cursory glances. And 2 hours into Rondo Leaflet it's definitely a bar above a lot of stuff I've read. But it's been dead for 15 years, and nobody talks about their stuff much

>>50169130
Why not both? I think you can have both 2-D and 3-D simultaneously. You can accept the imperfections of 3-D while enjoying 2-D for its idealism.

>>50170181
There's nothing to accept in 3D trash.

>>50170181
3d takes effort and they can say no

>>50170186
>>50170194
Don’t be so closed minded, Anon. There’s a whole world out there to experience, why restrict yourself? If you do that you’re basically the same as a normie who scoffs at the 2-D, rigid and closed minded. He won’t ever know the peak experience of jerking off to moege. And neither will you get to experience sex with 3-D. Both are great. Why limit yourself?

>>50169964
Hes a degenerate loser pedo because thats who the game is for
never listen to lolifag posters

>>50170205
I hate femoids because of my experience with them. Kill them all.

is this worth it for the older sister tag

>>50170223
Feels same regardless of who was there before you

>I think you can have both 2-D and 3-D simultaneously
Enjoy getting cucked mate

Why are there so few anege. If I was Japanese I'd probably devote my whole life to making older sister games

Been playing Ureshino-san’s game this last week.
It’s pretty good, but damn, I had better aim back in BC2 12 years ago.

>>50170610
is it really? one of my friends was gassing this game up but i didnt believe him.

>>50170637
Yeah, runs really good, feels good to play. Maps are smaller than in some other Battlefield games, but I liked Bad Company 2 the most and they feels similar to those.

I mainly got it cause I played the open beta in August and it was enjoyable.

>>50170514
People seem to prefer imoutos to onee-sans.
I'm sure some psychologist has written a paper explaining why.

>>50170610
How is it compared to bf1? That's the last one I played

>>50170720
Men generally don't like older women. Maybe like 5% of men have a strict preference for older women.

>>50170738
I like older women.
Well, technically they're much younger than me because I'm an old man, but I THINK of them as older women even though they're really not.

>>50170746
But do you like them more than younger women? That's the question. Most men do like most kinds of women but have a solid preference for younger.

>>50170720
There is no psychology. Young women breed good, old women have dusty wombs and probably prior children.

>>50170765
Why would my older sister have prior children?

does moebuta have any standard?

isn't that the guy that puts in NTR

>>50171596
There's no NTR in Nandomeka. That was just shitposting.

>>50170175
I was a fan. They made a lot of interesting games with a very distinct style. Unfortunately they never really had a single "kamige" title to carry their legacy, and they're not likely to find an influencer to champion them because they had a lot of lolis. They're probably gonna be consigned to the dustbin of history honestly.

For what it's worth this one was my favorite https://vndb.org/v575

>>50171721
>There's no NTR in Nandomeka
what about kinkoi fandisc

Did the muv luv gacha seal the future of the franchise?

>>50171830
SURELY they have enough money this time to finish the actual VNs

>>50171830
Hopefully they’ll use the gacha money to make VN just like Deep One did

>>50171859
>>50171843
It's all going to a yacht for some rich guy you never heard of.

>>50163796
There's no such things as "actual" books. Books are books and if you enjoyed reading it then you get the point of fictional books. Sure, these are popular genre-defining classics with intricate prose and deep intention behind it. I respect their legacy, but what's the fucking point slogging through all of these boring shit when there's a better option at hand. I'd rather continue my beloved nukige than forcing myself through Moby-Dick and Don Quixote because people define it as "actual literature" and the thoughts that I could get something from it is planted in my mind (I won't) Also any chuunige/LNs s will always be better than actual literature because I enjoyed it more. That's my definition of actual books

>>50171830
The franchise was already doomed after their first gacha try, nothing will change

>>50171917
You don't understand anon. You HAVE to read phenomenology of spirit or you're not lit enough

>>50171297
where do you see tiers?

reminder >>48786376

>>50171917
Based
The distinction between "high art" contemporary classics and "low art" nukige is usually a matter of snobbery and academic gatekeeping. A true value of a read is not determined by its place on a syllabus, but by the impact it has on the person reading it. If a typical nukige gives you joy, makes you think, helps you through NEETdom, or changes your perspective (or fetishes), then for you, it has achieved everything a "classic" ever could.

>>50171920
Also if anything this will make more VN devs to try gacha, because now they have another example of success
>Well if we keep trying maybe we can succeed! the muv luv team try 3 times, the 4th time they succeed, so they showed it can be done!
So things are about to get even worse, as if they werent bad already

>>50171917
Good post. The only thing reading the unabridged les miserables did was make me hate the french

>>50172002
Things are already pretty bleak since August is a gacha company now. Their VNs were never my favorite but it's still a sad sight to see. The fate of VN companies are either to go out with a bang or embrace gacha slop.

>>50172089
What are the probabilities that sprite try their luck with a gacha again? just because the first on failed doesn't mean a second one can't succeed, right? just look at the muv-luv gacha!

>>50172342
Is any of that high quality?

>>50172342
But that is still higher than what they were making as vn dev tho

I will always hate normalfags for their attraction to gachashit and the lack of older woman content.

>be me
>pick up a dead franchise
>suddenly dev is back in full swing
every time. what else should i start reading?

>>50172363
As a mobile game? is pretty clean
High quality for something that makes that much money? nope
>>50172419
Are you new to this? fgo is the game that quicsktarted the entire mobile gacha race and also the reason a lot of VN devs want to make gacha.

>>50172439
Which is why comparing current muv luv gacha with fgo doesn’t make sense

Muv luv only needs to make around maybe 50 to 100 million to secure their future which is possible if the gacha keeps on making 2 million per month for rest of it’s lifespan

>>50172426
>lack of older woman content
that's literally what normalfags want because they find hs settings to be problematic, sweetie

does alicesoft still have a gacha?

>>50172486
Yes

>>50172462
>Which is why comparing current muv luv gacha with fgo doesn’t make sense
Both were originally eroge developers
Both now have mobile gacha

>>50172506
>mobile gacha
Aren't most FANZA gacha PC?

>>50172486
Alicesoft gacha has probably made them too much money

>>50172519
Is a mobile gacha with a pc client, even the UI reeks of mobile game

>>50172475
The crowd you're talking about is the pedowokefags. And not even engaging in discussion, it's normal to be attracted to younger women, so normalfags are the reason why there isn't a lot of older woman content.

>>50172008
That shit led to Disney's Aladdin brainwashing me and countless other children into thinking thieves are just people who need some bread and the big burly guards chasing him down with scimitars are bad guys. Fuck Les Miserables

So Yuzu finally put a game into greatest of moege list?

>>50172982
I liked islenauts and sanoba more.

>>50172982
Yes.

>>50172988
Interestingly those 2 are my least favorite Yuzuge that I've read, especially islenauts

>>50172982
I think it's terribly overrated. It's still a 7 at best (I.E when you ignore the bad routes).

>>50173003
>It's still a 7 at best
still very high for a yuzuge

>>50172982
Tsukimi route clearly felt "different" compared to the usual yuzu. And I read it without checking who wrote what first. Also never read anything by Kasa before so idk his style, but kinda interested now.

Are there any alternatives for seiya-saiga?

New Yuzu is a masterpiece

>>50173086
Sagaoz sometimes has guides for old games.
Honestly just type the game name + 攻略 and you'll probably get at least one.

>>50173086
sagaoz for older stuff

>>50172982
Yes, and it's going to be universally accepted as the greatest VN ever made after Jewzu releases 6 more patches and it shoots to the top 6 of Bangumi's list.

anybody here read fata morgana in jp?

What's the fastest and easiest way to learn enough japanese to read untranslated VNs? I know enough japanese to understand a lot of the voiced content so it's incredibly grating to notice all the constant mistranslated lines in english translations, but I'm essentially illiterate in the language. I'm tired of dogshit translations.

>>50173404
5 years to "read", 10 years to read

>>50173404
Just keep trying to read stuff until it makes sense.

>>50173404
Ignore that guy it only takes a year to "read" and a couple years to really read if you do it every day. For you it will be easy if you already understand the spoken language, though I assume you're exaggerating how much you understand

>>50173425
if you do 6h of japanese studying daily then maybe, normal people can't do more than 1-2h daily

also even for read i mean no texthookers/lookup

>>50173434
>normal people can't do more than 1-2h daily
I feel bad for wagies.

>>50173434
OK fair, forgot how much free time I had when I started

>>50173445
i don't, fuck wagies.

>>50173411
>>50173425
What do you guys mean by "read", understanding but without nuance? Just getting the gist of it?

>>50173469
My definition was "read" is enjoy the process and generally follow what's going on and with using the dictionary a lot, and and really read is understand virtually every single line and only scarcely reaching for the dictionary.

>>50173483
I've already tried with hookers and dict, I need to look up most words so it isn't that enjoyable and I don't feel like it's helping me retain as much as people say it does. Maybe it just needs a lot of repetition.

>>50173469
basically means you can read moege while whitenoising some stuff here and there

>>50173502
Yeah it's all about repetition and unlike a lot of skills which are very frontloaded with beginner gains, learning a language is more of a snowball effect where it's always harder now than it's ever going to be later.

>>50173525
>unlike a lot of skills which are very frontloaded with beginner gains, learning a language is more of a snowball effect where it's always harder now than it's ever going to be later.
well said, have an upboat

>>50173404
>I know enough japanese to understand a lot of the voiced content
You think you do but you don't. Trust me I made the same dumb mistake back before I properly learn how to read.
>What's the fastest and easiest way to learn enough japanese to read untranslated VNs?
There are no fastest nor easiest way to learn Japanese. Everyone learns at a different rate. My suggestion is obviously learn how to read kana first then do those basic kanji vocab ankis while simultaneously read about Japanese grammar (my resource was Tae Kim and imabi). While doing those pick a VN that interest you and use a texthooker so that you can copy paste shit.

>>50173525
There is a german word for it that I forgot. Basically it means the moment when the language suddenly clicks for you and you start understanding it faster and a deeper level. I believe that all the struggle of language learning is the effort to get to that point in which after that you begin to absorb everything like a sponge.

>>50173955
yes, the word is thatiforgoten.

Is DRM Buddy down for anyone else?

>>50174749
Rance 10 doesn’t work as a standalone game Sengoku and Kichikuou are better in thar category

>>50175139
yep

>>50173502
Assuming you already have enough grammar knowledge to understand a decent number of sentences once you look up the words. Then you just gotta keep brute forcing it for enough hours, weeks, and years until it eventually gets easier. You're literally mining the text as an authentic source of words in context, not reading it to enjoy the story, at least not at first. It's called comprehensible input, and VNs can give you a shitload of it. You might struggle for a long time depending how dedicated you are to studying, but you'll learn way faster that way than with textbooks and flashcards.

Is this the reason why every vn dev is doing gacha now?

>>50175284

>>50171830
They made muv-luv NFTs, muv-luv metaverse, four or five muv-luv gacha, they will make ANYTHING but another VN. It's pretty clear whoever owns the rights now is just interested in hopping on bandwagons to make as much money as fast as possible. I'm shocked they haven't announced something with muv-luv and generative AI yet.
>>50175284
Now? The trend is getting close to a decade old.

>>50175896
This is probably the first time they actually made money on a new project (i.e. not just repacking/translating old shit like the kiminozo re-release) in like a decade though. All of their projects since the rights got sold have been abject failures. They didn't even finish that dumpster fire that was the Alternative anime properly. I'm surprised this gacha attempt (is it the 3rd or 4th one?) actually succeeded.

>>50175896
Considering honkai is using AI for their next game I wouldn't be surprised if we got Generative AI in muv luv

>>50175953

What is the best way to play Amagami? PS2 or PSVita?

>>50176505
Why would you play it when there's an anime adaptation.

>>50176505
Vita version has better resolution and sound. Content is the same of all three versions (psp/ps2/psvita) if you play the Ebikore + release (PS2 also has an older version). The only notable addition between these two is the Mahjong minigame.

>>50176919

>>50175139
who

>>50176845
>obvious AI look?
Already makes much better art than average eroge art https://files.catbox.moe/2xh03o.png

>>50176845
It never will, the thing about AI is that everything looks like it was drawn by the same person, in this case is the same entity, even in 5 years when it improves, at the end of the day every single ai generated stuff will still be generated by the same algorithm and that is how you will be able to tell is AI

NOW, what artists are doing nowadays of generating AIslop and tracing it is the real problem, literally undetectable since is technically the final picture is being drawn by a human

>>50177074

that's unironically a good thing, the only people crying about ai art are slop makers because they won't be able to make money anymore. ai is literally a non-issue for people doing art for art's sake, and on the other hand it can speedup their creative process

>>50177242
You can train ai on literally any art style.

You can thank billion dollar corporations for that

What application/website are you using for that?

Give me the source

Unless the "idea guy" is extremely talented it won't be that easy. Try picturing a tree in your head, do you actually know how a tree looks like in details or how to make it looks good? How about color theory or composition? If you don't have a good idea of what you want as well as related experiences and knowledge, AI won't help you much it would just give you something passable (and you would still need to judge the results yourself). It could be a good tool for doujin creators though.

if he's not extremely talented then he won't be making anything groundbreaking anyway. but if there are some real geniuses who currently lack tools, it will finally be their time to shine, which is a good thing

I had no idea they were re-releasing this yet again. What's the point?

>>50177674
Cash grab. Also adding back censored content from the previous rerelease. I bought Latest Edition recently which is what this new one is based off of so going to skip it.

>>50177817
I wonder if they'll bother to add back shit like the gay joke. How shameless of them.
>Latest Edition
thankfully this is the only version you need

we need a new thread

>>50177936
Not really. plenty of time until this one dies

thread always dies without a new threads being made and then it takes like 3 hours for someone to make a new thread
it's just the way it is
and then the new thread gets like 50 replies in an hour for some reason

Fine
