Has anyone played the new lolige?

I started Yukinojo, I plan on reading both, been a while since I read something 'older'.

>>13710120
How did you do that? That's the background from Clover Days' right?

>>13710169
That's probably the 妄想 mode from LOVEREC.
Sanoba Witch had a similar mode

>>13710169
>>13710190
Yeah, it's great. It lets you make your own scenes.

>>13710190
Sanoba Witch did? Really?

>>13710211
Hanasaki too.

>>13710203
Does that mean that you finished it already? How was it?

I forced myself to start Itoshii Kanojo no Mamorikata. Last time I played something from AXL (Rectal Merge) it turned me off eroge for a while. I hope it won't happen again.

>>13710071
Delete your faggot thread, this one was started earlier >>13709851

>>13710282
>Rectal Merge
Heh.

Seems like Japan hates the Angel Beats VN. I'll pass on it I guess.

>>13710282
Really? I really liked Racial Merge, mostly because of the setting.
For someone who did, how's AXL's new work (Ayakashi Contract) in comparison?

>>13710120
I'd read your nukige anyday, anon.

>>13710332
Under the great criticism of 'too many choices' and 'it's like the anime'.

>>13710333
The setting was good, but the execution was disappointing, and the only character I managed to even remotely care about (Banshee) got minimal screentime.
I have no idea about Ayakashi Contract, though.

>>13710332
>Seems like Japan hates the Angel Beats VN.
Good.

>>13710120
Damn, it's your fault I start doing this. Forgive me if I made some grammar error.

>>13710333
I also really liked racial merge, but unfortunately ayakashi contract is not as good as it. Its not too bad ot not unplayable, but dont expect something like racial. Common route is too rushed even though it gets a little better at later parts and there isn't any event between common route & confess scene which is worst. It goes like common route > you choose one girl > she confesses you in 2 min after. They should have made some events between those since I'm not even sure why the hell did they suddenly decided to confess.

But there are some good points in it as well, For example Tsumugi (the orange haired girl at the poster) is not the main heroine, actually main one is the black haired one who is the best heroine. I liked how all of them are connected by some kind of youkai issues and become a group of weirds as well. I think ayakashi had the potantial of surpassing all other AXL games, but because of the bad pacing & some really annoying joke characters it become a pretty average game.

>>13710485
I see, that's too bad. Thanks a lot, I'll probably give it a quick try if I have some time. They do have the setting area well thought out but they still have work to do on their execution, huh.

>>13710365
Don't post fake screenshots.

>>13710533
Fucckkkk

>>13710533
I would masturbate to this. Where's my NTR fandisk?

>>13710533
Epic.

>>13710533
Bullying only Inori isn't fair.

>>13710551
We have all the authors we need to write our own!
(>>13710365) can write the beginning when they first fall in love together, (>>13710533) can write the part when the protag gets NTR'd, (>>13710120) can write the the sex scenes where she ahegao to fat bald men's penises.

>>13710533

>>13710578
I only played her route and Hikari's. I can't bully Hikari, she's too much of a good girl.

>>13710611
You bet.

>>13710784
What the hell dude?? Stop please.

>>13710120
>>13710784
>>13710533
>>13710365
>tfw wanted to try making my own but I can't even read those SS.

Being EOP is hard.

>>13710784
>>13710533
>>13710365
I didn't even notice this feature when I cleared the game.

>>13710856
There are worse things than being an EOP, like abusing the quote function or using >tfw.

>>13710784
more pls

>>13710784
I'm okay with NTR, as long as there's no mindbreak involved. At least it's a break from all the "look at how pure I am ^_^" inanity.

>>13710333
I thought it was disappointing, my two favorite routes are Tsumugi's, and Minagi's.

>>13710120
How is the game? I avoid it because the second artist is pretty bad.

>>13710902
epic

>>13710908
I didn't like the character designs for Chiho or Shirosawa when I first saw them, but after actually playing it they grew on me and I really like them now. I'm only in the middle of Chiho's route since I got sick and don't feel like reading because I feel like shit, but I enjoyed it so far.

>>13710347
>it's like the anime'.
Considering the anime was pure shit it's a valid complain

>>13710908
Different guy here, but I'm enjoying it much more than I expected. Unless it derails into a mess in the end, I'll probably be able to recommend it to anyone looking for something cute and simple.

The heroines are cute: Chiho is your typical doting childhood friend who very obviously has a crush on you and wants to get in your pants, but she's always there to help you and never gets obnoxious (like, say, whats-her-name from Puramai Wars, which I do remember hearing complaints about); Hitomi is a smug little motherfucker who helps you with filming, though I look at her more as a little sister to love than a target of affection, if that makes any sense; Miyuki I feel comes off more than a bit overbearing, but she's not really that bad; Nori is a shy girl who turns out to be a wizard at video editing.

Currently going through Nori's route, and it's developing pretty well for the most part. She gets a lot of time to develop, and of course gets a lot more open as the relationship develops. This is as far from objective as it gets, but it just feels nice. Reminds me a lot of Clover Day's and Tsubame's route, which was the most enjoyable route I've gone through in a long time, so that's good. I haven't checked if it's actually the same writer, and ultimately it doesn't really matter to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Now here's a pair of tits to get you more interested in it than the rest of this post will.

>Now here's a pair of tits to get you more interested in it than the rest of this post will.

I don't know about the anon you're replying to but it did work for me. I guess I'll give it a try.

>>13710203
I liked PxC2's mode like this since you can adjust all the e-mote stuff. Too bad that the dialog box doesn't fucking work for whatever reason. Also the engine is garbage so you can't put two characters on screen at the same time.

How difficult is 嘘ノ少女 to read? If anybody's already completed it.

>>13711131
If you can read Dies Irae, then you can read that.

>>13711131
Too hard for someone who confuses 嘘 with 虚.

How is the saiminjutsu onaji mansion game by lust bit?

I was thinking of buying the dl version,but then I checked ex and realized it only had 4 pages worth of CGs.

Is it worth it,and how does it end?

>>13711354
Heartless!

>>13711425
You mean mouthless.

>>13711354
Because not even natives ever misread something.

Anyone else start to lose interest in a heroine's route after the first sex scene and the other girls start disappearing?
All the girls clearly want the protagonist's dick, it's irritating that you can only go for one at a time.

>>13711568
In most moege I've the route itself is more or less pretty short, with 50% fake teen drama and 50% porn. It's hard to lose interest when it's such a blast of porn, romance, and brevity.

>>13711743
I just don't like seeing girls left out is all.
More games should have harem endings.

>>13711568
For me it's the complete opposite. I rarely care too much about the common route and skip through half of it. The only thing I care about less than that is harem ends, which I almost never play.

>>13711753
I prefer the opposite. I feel bad when the MC have to be shared with other heroines and not monopolized.

I like it when the girls fight over the MC, makes me grin like a faggot.

>>13711770
I used to read every single line, but now? Any scene that's just too boring or inane internal monologue, I press the make-VNs-good-button.

>>13711803
Serious question, did you ever consider dropping VNs entirely as a hobby? I probably would if I ever reach that kind stage.

根雪 is out.

>>13711902
what is it

>>13710167
Looks nice. Older games just have some kind of special charm.

>>13711844
Nope, why do you ask?

>>13711844
You're a douche. A lot of people do this, that's why more VNs have the go back button in every backlog line.

Anyone who skips sections in VNs are scum who should go back to gaia and play their shitty /v/ games.

>>13712028
You're trying too hard now.

>>13712043
I actually thought I was in /vg/, sorry.

>>13712048
Yes, please go back there.

>>13712048
Epic

>>13712050
You're trying too hard.

Sorry to be a bum, but I'll delete this post in a minute.

Can anyone please help with this (if I remember how to crossboard correctly)

>>>/r/13503602

Thanks

>>13712048
I don't understand why someone who know Japanese post in /vg/ vn thread. They are either crying for translation or discussing the same shit like FSN over and over again.

>>13712151
What can I say, I like visual novels and talking about them.

>>13711777
Why? You prefer those girls you didnt choose get unrequited love and be unhappy till they die?

You are heartless anon.

>>13711782
Indeed.

>>13711844
VNs are all about choice wich is why things like routes and fastforward exists. Only an idiot plays a route he/she hates just to "complete" the VN.

Aruru grows up!

Question for non native speakers. How long did it take before you tackled reading a particularly hard to read VN like Dies Irae or Muramasa?
Specifically about how many VNs did you read before trying to read them?
Did you still use a text hooker? Did you have to look up many things? Any other comments?

Right now I've basically just started by journey playing VNs, I've read about 5 untranslated and rely on looking up kanji via text hooker less and less. I planned on taking a shot at Muramasa once I've played about 10 VNs or so, and no longer need a text hooker for the most part.

>>13712262
I read Muramasa and I don't even know any kanji.

>>13712262
It would be wise to read a Japanese history book (in Japanese) before playing that

>>13712269
any recommendations?

>>13712265
This, I just read the romaji.

>>13712262
>mememasa

Don't bother with that overrated shit.

>>13712262
The challenging thing about those games tends to be the grammar and the way the language is used. Muramasa's style is very outdated which you don't find in VNs very often. Reading some historical texts will help you way more than any VN will.

>>13712230
I can understand skipping routes but if I was skipping over text in something that I wasn't just playing for the porn, I would just drop it and pick up something more interesting.

>>13712262
>Specifically about how many VNs did you read before trying to read them?
About 20, first 10 with a text hooker

>>13712273
Ebin.

>>13712277
>The challenging thing about those games tends to be the grammar and the way the language is used. Muramasa's style is very outdated which you don't find in VNs very often
Did you even read it?
The grammar is quite easy compared to other "difficult" VNs. Characters like Chachamaru talk in modern slangy japanese.

>>13712286
No fun.

>>13712278
It depends. If it's a very plot-driven game missing stuff is out of the question, and you won't want to anyway. But a lot of moege have several filler and mundane situations that don't really affect anything. If some of them are especially boring, you don't have to force yourself, or others, to read them.

>>13712278
>About 20, first 10 with a text hooker
yeah that sounds like a good number. I wish I had more time to read VNs, I'm kind of a spaz and like to read things before they get tl'd/adapted.

My goal is to read Dies Irae before the anime adaptation airs.

>>13712353
Don't rush so much you end up not enjoying it.

>>13712262
I read Muramasa after about a year of heavy study and Dies Irae around six months after that. Thinking back, I probably didn't understand a lot of what I read. It'd be nice to go back and reread those now that I have a few more years of experience.

>>13712274
ebin friend :)

>>13712386
>Thinking back, I probably didn't understand a lot of what I read
Why did you continue, then? When I encounter things like that I either slow down to learn it or abscond to read something else.

>>13712359
Thanks. I definitely don't rush, it's just something to motivate me.

>>13712386
>I read Muramasa after about a year of heavy study
A year of heavy study of Japanese? Meaning you didn't study prior to that year?

>>13712400
Those were two of the VNs I was most excited to play, so I read them basically as soon as humanly possible. Not something I'd recommend doing.

>>13712449
Yeah, I was a NEET and just read studied and read eroge 24/7. I think a normal, healthy human being would take at least twice as long.

>>13712473
I admire your commitment. Sometimes I wish I was a NEET so I could do the same.

I've been studying vigorously for almost 2 years now, I've only started to read eroge in the last 6 months though. I wish I started when I was in high school.

>>13710071
Shin is mai waifu. That is all.

>>13712549

I'm waiting this shit for 7-8 years. Is there any new pages about it, or is this all?

>>13712695

God I hate gingers so much. I'm so glad this guy wasn't the protagonist of Tsukihime, he almost ruined Fate Stay/Night.

Do you think the remake will be voiced?

I didnt think they'd add a new character, but I have no problem with it. She seems like a pretty minor character though. Thank you for posting those. We'll never be able to play it anyway, at least gotta look at pictures.

>>13712706
It should, but it won't, despite the characters having VAs for such a long time.
TM will wait for some company to port it and handle the fees.

>>13712711

I wonder how it would sound.

>>13712713
If they pulled off shiki going batshit well, it could be one of the best things ever done

>>13712262
Nobody can read Muramasa without checking words.

But seriously thinking are you ready to read something or not is stupid. Just try reading something you find interesting. At least for me Muramasa was one of those game when I noticed I improved a lot while reading it.

I never played Tsukihime because I knew one day there will be a version which doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes.

>>13712689

So have I. This is what is planned to be shown in TMAce10 (those scans):

> ・新生「月姫」(月姫リメイク)鋭意製作中
> ・発売日はまだ未定
> ・最新キービジュアル、各キャラの新ビジュアル解禁 ( >>13712649 , >>13712695 )
> ・舞台は首都近郊から都内へ
> ・背景美術設定資料集 多数有り ( >>13712699 , >>13712702 )
> ・学校の先生が居なかったので、新キャラ女性教師・ノエル追加 ( >>13712691 )
> ・直接登場しないキャラをいろいろと再設計
> ・新キャラや舞台や背景、アルクやシエルの新デザインも掲載

Also:

> ──「新生」の意図について
> 武内：
> リメイクするにあたり、ユーザーにもう一度「月姫」という作品に出会い直してほしいという思いがあり
> そのためにどうすればよいか考える過程で、結果的に「新生」というコンセプトになりました
So it's an experience additional to those original readers of Tsukihime, so people like >>13712793 probably won't get the most of it.

So, for someone who has finished this game, who am i talking to here? and are they referring me as the 世界少女

>>13713011
Maybe you should 1) learn Japanese, 2) play the game, and 3) pay attention.

>>13713011
>>13713036

Translation in 20 days friend

>>13712649
Still can't get over how bland most characters look

>>13712593
What don't you like about it? I downloaded it a few days ago because I heard it was good but didn't get a chance to play it yet.

>>13713201
The routes and their terrible, shitty drama that only exists within them and is never mentioned in the other routes. The heroines aren't particularly good either, only Shin and the girl who didn't have a route are even close to engaging.
Also the overarching plot is really lame in how it's done, lots of wasted opportunities.

>>13713205
>The routes and their terrible, shitty drama that only exists within them and is never mentioned in the other routes.
This is something I hate seeing in moege. As much as it makes sense, it makes the game feel disconnected.

>>13712711
>no voice

What the fuck? And they call it remake? Fuck Typemoon. Their games is just like Naruto in this medium.

I'm inside Adam's Right Hand in Evenicle fighting Maou Felton[\spoiler] and I can only get him to about 66% before my entire party is dead. I'm level 63-65, what do?

>>13713276
Making sure Ramius doesn't die is the key part of it, because she is the one with all the damage-reducing abilities.
Have Riche and Kathryn use their heals, or buy a bunch of the healing items with your stored up cash.
Having Kath use her cancel ability on Felton when it needs it is also helpful.

>>13713347
I'm using the cancel already, but I don't have a heal for Kath. Do you remember where to pick one up?
And Ramius only died after Riche and Kath were dead from AoE's (I even healed Riche once), so I'm not sure that'd help me much.

>>13713379
Kath's heal is a 25% but with infinite uses.
Riche should also have an AoE heal.

Try using http://alice.xfu.jp/doku.php?id=%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96%E3%83%8B%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AB:%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AD%E3%83%AB to find the location of a particular skill.

Riche and Kath were able to survive the AoE in time for me to kill the boss, but if you're still having trouble I recommend buying some healing items.

>>13712233
Damn, i preferred her loli form.

>>13713416
Does she have H scenes in the first game?

>>13713435
Nope

>>13713435
I think she does if you play through it on the hardest difficulty or something?

>>13713397
I do have the AoE heal, so I'll equip that. I'll try to track down Kath's heal too.

>>13713276
You're underleveled.

Also Consecutive fights at the end. {/spoiler]

Feltonwas right

>>13713488
There is a cg where she is naked (or maybe just nipples) but no sex.

>>13713564
Found out I actually have to healing skills, and also a barrier skill that might help me. I also have a right-hand punch on Gurigura that combos with lend-hand punch, which I'm missing, and was apparently easily acquired doing chapter 4? No idea.
I'll go get some items and do some grinding then. Anywhere in particular I should go?

>>13713584
Nowhere really. Adam's Hand is the best place to grind

>>13713601
Might be worth killing some of the giant creatures though? Some of them have mechanics I don't quite understand though, such as taking near 0 damage or dealing 999999 AoE at random.

>>13713607
The website linked earlier also has information on giant monsters and what they do if you need it.

>>13713607
you should be able to beat the first 13

SonoHana out in /u/ thread.

>>13713542
Also spam Gurigura's traps. Try to poison a lot. Especially on the second form. Don't bother with traps on the second form though, it doesn't work.

>>13713619
Yeah once you know their weakness they go down pretty easily. By the way I think V2 was the hardest, not sure why the last one is the gorilla.

>>13713725
What's the deal with V2? I think I got it to like 50%, then it just instawiped me.

>>13713671
Gurigura has traps?

On a related note, how do I get on top of the mountain between the desert region and the jungle region? I've defeated the sketch boss and can take the blimp, but that leads to a dead end. Do I have to do something inside, in the zone with Kath's house?

>>13713873
That's what it does after a set amount of its turns. You have to raise stun chances and stun him 80% of the times and/or use turns reallocation attacks/skills to kill him before it's too late. Careful with the turn reallocation stuff because you risk giving it two consecutive turns which means you can't stun it and that leads to death.
>>13713891
There are easily missed stone steps from the jungle region which lead to a mountain path which has an easily missed arch leading to the mountain interior.

>>13713909
Ah dang, didn't realize I could walk on those stones. Thanks!

Is piracy law in Japan really that strict? It's easier for me to find English translated manga rather than the raw one.

Most eroge also uploaded by chinese aren't they?

>>13714477
Yes. It's actually enforced and people have gone to jail for it.

>>13714633
Well, I guess I'll be filling my hard drive with eroge if I ever decide to move there.

Is the newest fad in the eroge scene constant parodies and references of the tropes it started back in the early 00's? I keep seeing eroge with a bunch of archetypes being made fun of these days.

>>13714650
I still see JP ip's on torrents for VN's and anime/manga for what it's worth. I guess the farther you live away from Tokyo, Osaka or any other big city, the less likelihood you're liable to be arrested.

>>13714477
>>13714871
Back in March I tried checking with the release of Silverio Vendetta out of updating my preconceptions, and even so the majority of leechers were Japanese IPs, as expected of a game in Japanese.

Law usually goes for the big fish/uploaders if they can confirm they're in Japan because they gain very little from catching individuals. I guess it still happens though as a warning.

>>13715061
Shit I'm there. Good thing my country doesn't give a fuck.

>>13715116
Yeah I never really even hear about copyright enforcement in the US anymore. Either they keep quiet about catching a few people as a warning and sending out a bunch of scary emails to some people or no one truly does give a fuck anymore and nothing happens at all.

>>13715184
He could also be a dirty Italian which we all know doesn't give fucks about copyright.

>>13713011
i have no idea what you are trying to ask

>>13715184
My sister downloaded a PDF of her chemistry textbook from some filesharing website and I got a letter for that. This was Comcast in Southern California.

>>13714871
A shitload of Japanese people use nyaa/sukebei, judging by the distribution of IP's for raws and JAV's/eroge.

>>13714477
Not sure about the strictness, but downloading is not as common as in west. Often people watch anime from streaming sites or record by themselves. Regarding manga, second hand manga and books is very big business.

So, I'm reading this thing http://raw.senmanga.com/Tomo-Chan-Wa-Onnanoko and it's really fun. I just realized that I never played any eroge with tomboy heroine before. The closest one probably Wakaba from Hanasaki and Midori from Natsu no Ame.

So, anyone know good eroge with tomboy heroine? I need it in my life.

>>13716857
ゴニン!? has a good tomboy, who I found notable for having an actually cute voice (as opposed to the usual Japanese squeaky moe voices).

>>13716869
I don't play nukige m8.

>>13716886
Then why are you here

>>13716950
Does this thread looks like "Nukige thread" to you?

>>13716959
That's mostly what it is.

>>13716959
>>13716963
It's mostly just "generic moege thread", honestly, since that's 99% of what comes out these days.

>>13716963
Point out where people are discussing about nukige.

>>13716969
What's your point?

>>13716969
It's still not in the rules so nukige talk is allowed here.

>>13716886
It's not a pure nukige, also people occasionally say thanks where I come from.

>>13717045
I would say thanks if your suggestion actually decent.

>>13717057
It is, though your moege-addled brain's perception might be different.

>>13717057
How about you fuck off m8, learn some decency.

>>13714477
>Most eroge also uploaded by chinese aren't they?

They weren't until two years ago. Two arrests happened that scared all Japanese uploaders. That or they suddenly lost all interest in eroge.

There is a thread dedicated to arrests on 2ch: http://yomogi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/download/1429507982/

Just beat the final boss of Evenicle. God damn that was a close fight. It's been ages since I've played a game where I lost to a boss, and had to resort to using items and such. PROTIP for others near this part of the story, equip the rage-removal on Aster. I had forgotten to equip it, and ended up with the odds stacked against me.
Thanks to everybody who has helped me when I was stuck and such, I'm grateful.

Kind of off topic. Are any of you guys going to check out the MangaGamer / JastUSA / other VN panels at Anime Expo this year? It's EOP central, but its nice to see some tlwiki staff and seeing whats the next big localized thing.

>>13718578

If I could go to AX, it wouldn't be for "tlwiki staff", it would be to complain to Itaru Hinoue and Ryu07, and chill with Daisuke Ishiwatari.

I don't think many should care for the cult of personalities cultivated by the EOPs unless they're trying to get laughs or forcing ebin meems. Try in VNTS thread or something.

>>13718578
I'll probably meet up with some of the staff, but the convention itself is probably way too cancerous for me to even want to deal with.

The only thing the announcements will do make me do is remove a few VNs from my backlog as a result of them being tainted by EOPs.

>>13718578
I do get kind of excited just looking forward to what announcements they have to show.

For me its the opposite. As soon a as a translation project is announced I immediately read it before it gets tl'd so I can remain one of the cool kids.

You don't like rape? Better stay away then.

THEIR HOOMAN BRANES

Finished Houkago Shippo Days.

It's kinda hard to review considering how short it is. Well, if you liked base Daito, there's no reason to not check it out.

The only problem is Kana appearing in some CGs, but not having any lines.

>>13722521
Why would you bother playing it if it doesn't have Kanasuke?

Guys what are the best three moeges you ever played? For me most likely three of Tsuyokiss, Fureraba, Daitoshokan and Lovesick Puppies. I'd like to hear some different opinions and try those as well. For example Parfait seems pretty popular, though I'm not sure if its a moege or not.

>>13722628
WLO, kimisora, and daitoshokan.

>>13722628
>though I'm not sure if its a moege or not.
The parts that make it popular most definitely aren't moege material.

To avoid reposting stuff you've alredy posted
LC2, in which I really liked the heroines, art, sex scenes, VAs, basically a complete package in that regard.
Really liked the comedy in hitoren, liked most of the routes too unlike in ren0 or puramai.
Hoshiori was a really complete pure love game in my opinion, long as hell, but I found it really immersive after a while if doing 6 school festivals doesn't put you off. Also it had Rika.

>>13722647
>WLO, kimisora
Are those two really that good? To be honest I almost never heard kimisora, let top 3 alone. Also it seems more like nakige than moege, but I guess those two terms are pretty close anyway.

>>13722676
>are pretty close anyway.
Nakige is about enjoying the cute girls until the drama 'please cry here' happens.
Not that moege can't have drama, but it's less about crying.

>>13722665
>The parts that make it popular most definitely aren't moege material.
What makes it popular then? Is there a good hidden scenario or something?

>>13722628
Koisora
Mashifoni
Daitoshokan

>>13722647
Is it really worth the +4mb?

>>13722754
Nope, no way in hell, even if 2mb are crammed in one single route.

>>13722761
The scripts for that route were 2 MB, but there's much less text. It was still significantly longer than any of the other routes though.

>>13723075
It's just under 1MB.

>>13718578

I don't see how someone could read Monobeno and then decide that translating it would be a good idea.

So to answer your question, no.

>>13724579
Seems like you don't want to believe.

>>13724579
It's a reference to Twin Peaks and the X-Files.

>>13724256
There's a ton of translation mistakes in his release, and not even on any difficult lines. When the game gets into wordplay and more obscure dialects, it'll be undoubtedly be a fucking mess.

In short: no chance. I'm not even going to say there's a possibility for him to translate the entire thing like shit, it's more likely it'll just be too difficult for him and he'll give up.

Does anyone know an upload of the Japanese version of Divi-dead?

It looks interesting, but I don't want the English version (for obvious reasons, this time magnified, since it's appearently pretty much rewritten for translation) and I don't really want to play the online version on that one website.

But it's one of the first kanji you learn. Did you just try to read VNs without studying at all first, or what? If you have to look up basic kanji like that, you're definitely doing it wrong.

>>13725296
>self study is the only way to learn.
I call bullshit.

I do well enough with a kanji dictionary. Usually never run into problems. This was espeically frustrating because it was such a simple kanji, it shouldn't have taken so long to find it.

>>13725304
The fact that you didn't know the word 乗せる says a lot about your skills.

>>13725304
So you are just a fucking retard who would rather take 30 times longer than you should to read something than study vocabulary, and who doesn't know even the basic words after 8+ years?
You say you call bullshit? You ARE bullshit.

>>13725634
I never managed to download anything with baidu. either nothing happens after solving the difficult captcha, or, I assume, they want you to download some download manger program before downloading larger files.

>>13722628
LxC2 is perfect if you want dating with a real-world setting. The whole game is focused on getting a girlfriend, dating, ichaicha and lewd aspects without any forced drama or bad plot to get in the way. Art is also fantastic.
Magical Charming is a worthwhile read simply for Orietta and the non-main heroines are also quite cute. Like LxC2 there isn't that much drama apart from some parts of Orietta's route and the short true route, just tons of cute stuff and some humor.
Twinkle Crusaders and especially its fan disc have cute heroines, great gameplay portions and pretty blood-pumping music with mostly drama-free routes. Princess Witches from the same studio is also worth checking out, though it's a lot more plot heavy (which is quite good) and some people might not like the abundance of random sex scenes from the get go.

>>13725684

Yeah, you need to use the download manager after registering on Baidu first. It's actually really easy, look up a tutorial. And the downloads are fast and stable as long as you're using it. Also Baidu has many uploads that are hard to find elsewhere.

Also I personally uninstall the manager everytime I'm finished with a download session. It's kinda a bother, but better than having a chink cloud software on my PC all the time.

>>13725719
Just use a VM.

that's a very, very comprehensive list of elf games they have in that folder there. I'm really reluctant, but there's even a working el download there, damn.

Wow, why are there so many EOPs in this thread?

>>13725785

>Hoshiori was a really complete pure love game in my opinion, long as hell, but I found it really immersive after a while if doing 6 school festivals doesn't put you off.
I felt kind of tired and put off that game after Marika's route. It was good, but so damn long. Definitely an example of a good moege though. Props for at the very least attempting to be realistic with the condoms as well.

>>13725715
There is drama but the good kind, like Hime getting mad at MC for him suggesting a blowjob and then giving him one because her friends said it could had negative effects on their sex life if she didnt.

I hope LxC 3 is the next Hibiki game.

>>13725816
Props also for how nice all around the protag was, not like Yuuma. I wanted him to die so badly.

>>13725715
I was so glad that the whole thing with Hime skipping work to be with MC more didn't blow up and drag on.

>>13725816
All the disgusting condom scenes made me drop the game.
I don't play games like that to have my dick shrivel down to angstrom scale.

>>13726826
I dunno, man, condoms can lead to the only good type of NTR: condom NTR.

>>13726826
I can understand that, I don't actively seek out sex with condoms in eroge, that is like the plainest of the plain.

But I felt actually "immersed" in the game in a way, something I like about Hoshiori was that the girls all had pretty normal personalities and an actually ordinary high school; for the most part the story tried to be believable.

>>13726861

So, why none of you start translating eroge and contribute something in VN society ?

>>13730686
That's immense amounts of time and effort that could be spent reading eroge.

>>13730686
Enabling EOPs is the opposite of contributing.

>>13730686
I was translating something, but I stopped because it's a waste of time.

>>13730700

>>13730686
I'll bite.

I would think about it if I got to eat off it since murricabux are worth quite a bit more here, but maybe if I start treating translation as a job it wouldn't be fun anymore.
Plus I don't want to really charge for this kind of thing, and it's a difficult world in my eyes because:
1) You EOPs are insufferable
2) I tend to revise things to maintain personal standards so I would take a long(er) time
3) What people want is not necessarily what I like
4) I'm not good working with other people so I would take longer to do everything
5) In the case I worked with someone, I can RevEng and TL myself, so I expect potential teammates to do the same, kind of like the insani people

It's easier just to enjoy eroge and not deal with this kinda bullshit.

>>13730824
Yes, you could say I'm lazy, just like the EOPs that don't bother to learn the language themselves. At least I did bother so I don't have to go around begging.

>>13730686
>>13730824
It's a colossal amount of work (about 6 months-a year depending on the size of the VN) for no payment, for a frankly awful fanbase (half of them are convinced everything you do is utter shit no matter how good it is, the other half convinced everything you do is utterly amazing no matter how shit it is), with the possibility of getting just plain axed/sued by anal retentive companies, for no reward other than the supposed goodness of your heart.

In all honesty, what would be a good reason to translate a vn? The only reason that comes to mind is e-peen, which pretty much explains most of the current fantranslators. Love of the medium and wanting to share something you love are great but those seldom last for 6-12 months of thankless work.

>>13730686
Because japanese doesn't translate very well to english. It would take a lot of rewriting to make a product that works in english but is inferior to the original in many ways. That's actually the reason I started studying japanese in the first place.

>>13730908
This is true, you either end up with something very choppy and with a bunch of TL notes, or a butchered text largely different from the original in an attempt to make it flow better in English.

I'd prefer the first if I had to choose, since it would feel less like a complete rewrite and largely devoid of some autist's flowery prose.

>>13730923
>I'd prefer the first if I had to choose
Good thing you don't translate.

>>13730908
>Because japanese doesn't translate very well to english.

You're retarded.

When did /jp/ become a memecenter?

They've started banning eroge companies from twitter. Lose's official twitter account just got suspended. They made a new one almost immediately, but if this trend of banning hentai artists continues, it'll be no surprise if they just ban them again / ban more artists.

>>13731020
I saw they started with artists (Fatalpulse, Oyari Ashito, Mudou Eichi and Fuyuno Mikan to name a few) but I wonder if it's because of loli content. That makes sense with Lose.

https://twitter.com/oyariashito/status/616429329732337664

>>13731005
I think a more pressing question is "why are you misusing the quote function".

>>13731037
Wow, that's pretty messed up.

>>13731037
They banned Solfa Soft, too. So I would say it's loli. But at the same time that doesn't seem to exclusively be the reason. I'm pretty sure Fatalpulse didn't have that much loli content on his twitter. It was probably just because of the hardcore content. The weird part is Ooyari Ashito got his account back, yet they're still continuing to ban people for some reason. And according to Lose, they weren't even provided a reason, just locked out of their account. Guess you can't be a hypocrite if you say nothing at all.

I actually bought the digital version from BookWalker cos I was impatient. Didn't expect the raws to pop up so early though.

At this point it's fair to say Chrono Clock is a victim of localization. It's coming, to Steam too undoubtedly, so the easily-removable H scenes make sense. Purplesoft wants some of that Valvedrone money. No wonder, Steam weaboos buy everything.

>>13732536
I knew it had to do with porting to a family-friendly platform but I didn't expect Steam, I expected Sony NGP or something.

>>13732548
You mean Vita?

Anyway, I guess we can expect to see this happen more and more often. Steam is a really easy way to make more money.

Although now I kinda wonder how much. I'd bet these VNs sell maybe in tens of thousands on Steam and it's not like they're being sold as expensively as in Japan.

>>13732555
They don't really need to move a finger, it's all profit with it being a digital distribution platform and outsourced to a licenser. Unlike First Press that needs to cover Tokuten, Printing and Marketing.

Bureaucracy is what mostly stops more companies from doing the same thing.

>>13732536

Bokusen might be localized too in the future. One of those EOP publishers now has a deal with Akabeisoft, but Aka wanted them to first officially release Sharin and Gsen in English, so Gsen is coming soon, I think.

>>13732591
Yeah. It wasn't even bad, but it started pretty well and the setting had potential. This is pretty common though, they always put more effort in the beginning it seems.

Main game acta est fabula, extra content and new ending Amantes amantes

>>13733138
Amantes amentes has more content: new ending and extended epilogue, few new BGMs and some side stories. As a downside some of the "gore" was censored (not that there was anything to censor to begin with, some CGs just have slightly less blood in them) and I hear some more adult parts of certain dialogue got reworked as well.
Acta est Fabula has H-scenes and uncensored CGs / dialogue.

If you want to experience the game fully, play Acta est Fabula then get a complete save file for Amantes amentes in order to play through the new ending and side stories if you wish. If you decide to get AeF make sure it's the complete regular version, not the Scharlachrot Grun patch.

Here comes imouto

Finished Masaru. That was one hell of an improvement over the original, even did every single end.
The only part I actively disliked was Yumiko's second half of her route, the bad drama was straight out of the original, quality-wise.

You played both? So what do you say, is it better to skip the first game or simply skip both and move on?

Not sure, looked through some covers on NND and the chorus part was mostly gibberish.

>>13733393
would you recommend simply skipping all the side heroines in yukinojou 1?

I-i don't remember doing this in the 2nd game. So, the 3rd Leyline is the continuation of Ushio's route from the 2nd Leyline?

>>13734324
It's ALWAYS the continuation from Ushio's route in the previous game.
How can you even finish the game without going through her route?

>>13734324
>not doing Ushio's route
What kind of faggot are you.

>>13734329
Really ? I think I understand almost everything in the 2nd game until the epilogue imply that the night students are still alive. . There's also no hint or implication that Koga and Ushio have romantic relationship in the 2nd game.

>>13734351
I got the normal end on my first try and the cliffhanger/unanswered questions in the 2nd game makes me want to play the 3rd game immediately.

>>13734423
You should have aimed directly for Ushio's route, their romance is pivotal in the third game, which will assume you know they are in a relationship, more or less.
So basically go back and do her ending, because it's relevant.

Ushio has short routes / epilogues in the first two games which take place after the main plots. It's just that you can actually miss out on them unless you pick specific choices during the main parts of the game. The epilogues don't really have any major plot points or anything like that, but the third game (and Ushio's epilogue in the second game) treats Koga and Ushio being already in a sort of relationship.

If you ask me it's a retarded system since players that don't use walkthroughs and just want to play through the main plot might never know about the epilogues even existing until the third game. I wouldn't have if I hadn't checked out a walkthrough for the SSS ranking.

>>13734627
Well, she has this whole I'M THE MAIN HEROINE aura around her, so not even seeing the choices to fuck her seems probably weird.

>>13734640
The worst thing is the first two games don't really allude to her having a "route" in the first place (apart from missing CGs and recollection scenes if you did the crappy side routes), probably leading many players into thinking that she only gets a route in the final game when in fact they've already had sex twice by that point. Probably not that big of an issue when the games were first released, but I can see how the system would fuck over players who plan on breezing through the trilogy in one go, especially as >>13734423 mentioned, the second game never mentions anything about their relationship unless you unlock her epilogue in that too.

>There is plenty of that, compared to, as I'll call it for now, 「遠隔操作」 .
Perhaps, but there's not more than 1 or 2 with non-shit art

no new thread ;(

It's funny because Arch is black.

>>13734627
I've heard about this game but never knew that it's a trilogy. So how's the game? Seems to have decent scores on EGS.

Will playing Euphoria ruin your life?
I've only read baby tier thrillers like Dangan and 999.
I want to hear testimonials

Playing Fraternite gave me sudden bouts of depression when I thought back on it for about a week.

Someone please tell me the 3some scene with Mutsuki and Ushio in Leyline 3 is not another "dream".

>>13736235
Sorry, Koga is faithful to his not-wife.

They're magical school mystery games. I originally started the first two as fillers before reading anything about them beforehand. The first game is only okayish and it serves as an introduction to the setting and characters and the easy to figure out cases / chapters are mostly their separate things with no one bigger continuous plot yet. The second game is a hell of a lot better with a more coherent overall story, great new characters and lot of twists and turns towards the final chapters. Third game was a satisfying finisher to the series and explains all the remaining mysteries, but the second game still holds a special place in my heart due to starting it with no preconceptions whatsoever and ending up liking it a lot.

Pretty nice looking and has some good music too. Also, as many have mentioned before you should skip the side heroines' "routes" in the first two games. They're extremely short with no real plot apart from fall in love > H-scene > ending without even any credits rolls and some of them make zero sense considering later revelations. Only do them if you really like the heroines and are fine with any sort of extra material. However you should unlock and play through Ushio's epilogues (that you might not get depending on your choices even if you finished the main plot) in the first two games as the final game references them already being in a relationship.

Thanks. It does sound pretty interesting
