Thread 718974424

are VNs dead? and what killed this genre?

>>718974424 (OP)
they lost to the west when Disco Elysium came out. Pretty much nothing the japanese can make will ever come close to this kino AND it has actual gameplay

>>718974537
Muramasa is still better.

I think your assumption is a bit misguided. VN isn't dying. Reading is. PvP matchmaking slops last 20min nowadays. Similar for one of those gachaslop "daily" trash. People are losing the patience and mental capacity to sit down and read anything past a few sentences.

post a .webm of the gameplay

>>718974664
You haven't played Muramasa.

this image is unfathomably retarded, everything on it is mainstream with people who spend more than 5 minutes per day online

>>718974424 (OP)
they got mogged by western walking simulator movie games

Says who?

>An average person knows about silvagunner, boxxy, osu, etc.
Imagine being THIS detached from the reality.
How often do you talk to people outside of internet?

wtf is this real?

Surprisingly, it actually takes lot of talent to make a good VN, because you need both a good Artist and a Good writer, with a story good enough to maintain their attention long enough to finish the thing, all to appeal to a fairly niche genre very few people will play unless an E-crleb picks it up or it becomes an anime.

For me, Slay the Princess essentially made any other VN feel redundant. It was a concept and story that was pretty much a perfect Marriage for the genre. More conventional stories just feel clunky

Cry harder, weed. Dagonropa is fucking garbage.

>>718975521
randomly bringing up sloppa doesn't make your evntrash any less of a slopfest

>>718974537
>AND it has actual gameplay
Very Debatable.

>>718974424 (OP)
Gacha games killed them.

>>718975572
You realize you're in a visual novel thread, right?

>>718975749
And? Do you think daganshit is representative of visual novels for some reason? Is it the only thing you've ever read outside of EVNsloppa?

>>718975360
>Slay the Princess
this piece of shit, I thought highly of it (because of constant threads)
but it turned to be a nothing burger, lame endings and three characters

>>718975810
Shucks

>>718974424 (OP)
They're not dying, exactly, but they're niche and will probably always be niche.

>>718975729
How did Gacha kill VNs? One's meant to be played on a phone and the other is for computers, no? I'm not disagreeing with you just not sure how it happened

>>718975806
What's your favorite then?

>>718976079
Muramasa

Not

games

>>718974424 (OP)
All the vn users are writing their own novels with A.I.

>>718974424 (OP)
They realized they can make more money turning VNs into mobile casinos

>>718974424 (OP)
Because they're stale and repetitive. I played 428, and the Silver Case duology, and they absolutely blew Umineko out of the water in quality and artistic merit. Vns were a stagnant genre that didn't advance, and died because of that. Just having a textbox and some pngs will not be attractive to 90% of people.

>I played 3 games that blew a mediocre overrated game out of the water
>thus they're all stale and repetitive
...okay?

Played pic related recently. Was actually pretty fun.
