Reposting my question for the Anon that went to the Liarsoft/Innoncent Grey event:

>>10168574
Are you Asian so that you blended in with the crowd or are you far-west gaijin so that you stood out like a sore thumb?

One thing I always wanted to ask an eroge developer was if they realized that the vast majority of Engrish they put in their games is horribly ungrammatical and if they realized that anyone who knew English cringes upon seeing it (though I guess this precludes 99% of their readers). Also, if they realized that they can pretty much fix all of their spelling mistakes with 2 seconds on Google.

Sometimes it feels like they are afraid to spell English words correctly. Like if they do they will have to pay some hidden tax or that will slander their ancestors.

No, I am a paleface.
I'm used to standing out; it can't be helped. But something else that surprised me a lot about this event was that I didn't this time. I wasn't treated any differently than any of the other event attendees, and people were friendly but nobody fawned over me, and I didn't see any "holy shit A GAIJIN" reactions either.

This was an incredibly refreshing and welcome change, since most of my interaction with strangers here tends to fall into one of two patterns, either "Oh wow you can speak three words of Japanese even though you are a hairy foreign barbarian, how SUGOOIIIIIII", or "Hello, we have never met or spoken before but I would like to inquire about your country of origin, current salary, marital status, and when you had your last bowel movement" and it gets to be pretty tiresome. And ota tend to be even more easily freaked out than most. I will never forget the time at I was at some Akihabara game shop and scared some poor guy so badly that he went ran away with such blind speed that he knocked over a huge display of loli tentacle rape doujin games (including a TV monitor). This time it felt like nobody cared. The two or three people who did approach me just wanted to say stuff like "man, nice job winning the posters" or "Tohoku InnoGrey/Liar fans represent, let's talk about our popularity poll/Lot44 picks".

It felt so nice to feel like just part of the crowd for once. United by eroge.

About the Engrish, I think that in most cases nobody notices how mangled it is, and if they do they don't care. Randomly added English is basically just there for decoration; it's like the gratuitous German in chuunibyou works nowadays.

The main characters play a concert at the end of the opening high school segment which features the costumes.

One of the girls becomes a well-known pianist. The other is a talented singer but ends up working for a music company on the business side. No idols are involved.

Anyway it's pretty much pure relationship drama. The plotting is relatively tight, the characters are interesting and the writing is solid. But it takes itself very seriously and you will want to punch the main character many times.

It's a good experience (I read it for pretty much 3 days straight) but slightly more polarizing than a 95 would suggest.

Why do VNs take so long to make?

I don't write professionally, but I know that it cannot take years of work to write what's in, for example, Planetarian. The art is also not in huge volume or quality - a set of backgrounds and reference sprites for each character, along with some situational CG art, doesn't take years to draw. When I went to Digipen I was made to hand in a pad of fifty full-color drawings to my professor every month, and each was of higher overall quality than the usual CG I see.

I'm asking because I don't see what's stopping me from making one in my free time. I couldn't do the voice acting, but I could do everything else, and I don't think it would take as much work as studios purportedly put into it. The only thing which would present difficulty is the 'conceptual' sort of writing, where I'd be determining what the setting is like, how the characters look and behave, who the bad guy is, and other things to the same effect. But I could still do this. I have some ideas in mind. My other concern is that it would remain obscure, being an English VN. I know Katawa Shoujo had success, but it had the appeal of being 'a 4chan project' and a lot of hype surrounding it.

This image contains Planetarian spoilers, for those of you who haven't played/read it. Her status-ribbon-thing was genius design.

Planetarian is much shorter than the average VN. Most VN scripts are book-length, and it's not uncommon for a book to take two or more years to write. And that's just the writing. With a VN you have the art and music too, and the recording of voice acting which can't even start until the script has been written and finalized (I would imagine recording thousands of lines of voice acting takes quite awhile). Once you've got all the components you have to script them together, and when that's done you've got QC and debugging, which are time-consuming. There are also lots of little things that need to be done, and I might even be forgetting some larger details too.

Really, creating a VN in a year or two is quite a feat, especially given how small eroge companies are.

Finger in mouth is my fetish and I don't think there's a tag for it in ex ;_;

It was in any case a pretty decent VN, mainly enjoyable for the characters and emote system, I wonder if other eroge companies will use it at some point after seeing this game.

Going to start Alicetale next.

It's just that there's an absolutely huge amount of work needed to make a VN, and it's quite easy to underestimate it just because it's simple pictures.

Think about it, making a VN is basically taking a novel length script (sometimes over 30 hours of reading) and making the whole thing into a simple scripted movie. Writing a script that long is only part of it, but you also have to create the cg illustrations, the character standing sprites and portraits (don't underestimate this, it's not uncommon for games to have many hundreds of variations), music, sound, cast record split and insert spoken dialog (which can sometimes be over 20 hours straight of text), and time the whole thing with changing characters illustrations and backgrounds for every single line. Some games even change and animate characters mid-line. Just testing a novel length game can be a daunting task. Plus there's extra stuff, like UI design and art, promotional art and content, website, etc. And often the teams are small, rarely larger than 3-10 people.

Hopefully there'll be new CGs to make up for the ero ones getting taken out.

tbh I'm not that excited about it either because of what a surge in popularity might potentially do (is this how Touhou fans who bitch about secondaries feel?). On the other hand though this will almost certainly increase the amount of doujin circles who do steampunk books, so it might be an overall win.

Sona-nyl just isn't the type of game that can attract that kind of undesirable fanbase, imo. Female protagonist is enough to "scare" a lot of regular bishoujo adv players.

There's the Black Wolves Saga psp game which I'll be playing since I slightly enjoyed the PC game, I'm unsure if it's new or just a port and I haven't bothered to check, but I'll play it either way. Glass Heart Princess looks like another Otomate piece of shit but the premise is even more retarded than usual. Another fucking Wonderful Wonder World addition from Quinrose, but their games are actually pretty funny so I'll be playing it. I have no idea about Solomon's Ring and the character designs are pretty ugly. Lastly there's the Tokyo Tamanote Boys Honey Milk PSP port which I'll also play since I never got around to playing the original and I like Rejet's games. So pretty much only the games from Rejet look promising, and they may or may not both be ports.

Finished the human, angel & devil routes with the respective default heroines in Soukoku no Arterial.
I don't have the drive to get the rest of the heroines ending.

I'm disappointed, the writing made it look like Kamidori is a masterpiece. Reading through it was a chore, I had to literally force myself at times.
The protagonist isn't likeable, he barely have a personality.
The heroines aren't any better either, Narumi is an annoying whiny emo Luna Clear clone, I have an urge to punch her whenever she appeared.
Mehisha's voice is awful, it doesn't fit her character at all.
Akari is 空気, I swear the writer forgot about her, Kaito has more events than her.
Shaneorka is an inferior Suina, despite being a literal copy paste version of her.
Sayane is a great character but a bad heroine, she outshines the protagonist by a mile, but she fucks the butler.
Arisa, Mirai and Madoka are the only decent heroines.

But all that can be forgotten if the plot was decent, unfortunately it was horrible.
The writing was shit. Stuff was routinely handwaved with no explanation. Actions are done without rhyme or reason other than the game told you to do it.

NTR games need to be like this, because, If you see so many parts of the game by the point of view of the girl, this mess up the NTR feeling.

Recent Elf games. They get more NTR as they go, so Biniku no Kaori doesn't have much NTR, Ningen Debris has quite a bit, and Boku no Kanojo was Gatenkei is a full-blown NTR game.

Uchi no Imouto no Baai is also really destructive, especially if you're into imoutos. The NTR isn't a huge part of the game but even the non-NTR stuff can be depressing. Highly recommended.

Some of the more fap-oriented NTR games also have the occasional decent emotional moment, though it's like finding a diamond in the rough. It's more common in genre classics/pioneers like True Blue and Konna Atashi demo.

Of course that counts. They're adorable.

The steampunk series VNs often have secondary couples, though they're not always among the protagonist's friends.

Eiji in G-Senjou is somewhat of a ladykiller (how much in real life and how much just in his own head isn't clear though). He goes after one of your teachers and eventually kind of scores.

It's been a while since I played A Profile, but your best friend is interested in one of the heroines, and IIRC it's hinted that they've begun dating/are dancing around the idea in one of the other girls' routes.

There's Appo in Edelweiss too, although that's probably not what you were thinking of.

The story is better presented in 1 . . . want spoilers? It's hard to explain without ruining the story. Anyway, I liked the story better in 1.

The best part about Sister Scheme 2 is going on a date with your eldest sister. It was absolutely the most adorable thing in existence.

Spoiler, if you want it. In the first game you're being blackmailed by an unknown individual who found out your sister has a crush on you and is trying to help her out. This person is blackmailing the two of you hoping that you eventually get your sister pregnant so that you'll be together forever. In the second game the person blackmailing you IS your sister who's just trying to tease you. She stops blackmailing you when it goes too far (before sex). You still get to nail your sisters though if you've made those choices because why the hell not? But you're never forced to fuck your sister like in the first game.

That's why I like the first one better.

I had so much fun playing that. Fate too. The choices that trap you in totally unexpected bad ends are best.

Honestly the part of MahoYo that disappointed me most was the way that it's linear so there were no tiger stamps to collect and no sudden horrible deaths to always be afraid I was going to run into. Isn't it sad.

First route finished, took me a ton for some reason, i should have made more time.
Liked the comedy and the drama, and the character development was really solid throughout.
8 scenes was a bit too much for my tastes, especially considering the main branch must have 4 in total, but the sexual tension in this route kind of needed a few, Sumika was really lewd.

Man, I love the Tokimeki Memorial games. Only dating sims I've been able to really get into and the girls are all so cute. I even played the spin offs made for girls. I wonder if they'll make a new game sometime.

Nope. There's some slightly lewd CGs, and that's about it.

I've read the hetero route of the xchange. A ton better than mai angel in the sex department, has everything I could hope for in it.

Got around to resuming Alicetale thanks to a break in RL, she seems to be the most interesting of the lot with her delusions...

Fuck yeah Chuuni.
Game probably would have been better without the slg part, it has a really interesting story and the battles have been surprisingly well written so far but damn the whole making sex toys stuff really clash with the rest of the story.

Also, anyone know how long this game is?
