Visual Novels don't take enough advantage of the visual aspect. We're only just getting live2d technology and it's being used on phones and portables. Static images and the occasional animated loop or quick scene aren't enough.
Boosting the visuals would help other aspects, as well. Imagine a scene in which you're speaking with a character while walking though town, but you're actually walking through town. Dally around too much and reaching your destination could cut your conversation short, changing the information made available to you which would impact you later. Maybe she shoots you a risky question and you respond too quickly, or not at all. That delay could further influence that character's opinions alongside your given response.

I've noticed that. I've made due with games like Ever 17, Type moon games, Sharin no Kuni, etc. but then I saw them playing a game kind of like True Love '95 on the anime Boku wa Tomodachi ga sukunai, and so I search and still can't find any quite like True Love '95.

They were parodying Tokimeki Memorial in that, if you were wondering. If you learn Japanese you have more options, but they're mostly older games. Lovely x Cation and its sequel are the only ones to come out in a few years as far as I'm aware.

I found out that the trial for グリムガーデンの少女 was out so I am giving it a read. It is good so far and the heroines are great, love the fact that the main girl has a really deep voice. enjoyable art too, cute SD art as well. The writer wrote Cartagra and the director/script writer did g-senjou. It does feel like it might get dark later on though.

So far from what I can tell is that the story will be a drama with the regular eroge comedy on the side. The MC is an adult with a job which is nice for a change. It has one of those "reform the girls and make them overcome their psychological problems" type plots. I don't know why they added magic to the mix though.

I was told she was an emotionless heroine but all she does is troll the fuck out of the MC and last I checked wanting to ruse someone was an emotion.

School Days and Witch's Garden had really nice concepts.

Too bad that the story in both were disappointing to say the least. The developers probably are wary of following suit after seeing less-than-stellar profit figures and the increased cost of development.

Aren't most VN studios still mostly indie, not in name but in operation? Most studios are 4-5 man teams I believe.

The problem is that the eroge market is too small to attempt ambitious projects with a lot of development cost.
(Relatively) mainstream VNs like Fire Emblem or Sora no Kiseki are probably your only bet.

Most eroge sales are shit, including non-moege stuff.

There's some truth in it. It most likely means you appear to stand out and have a good grasp of grammar, etc. You could still be generic. It's hard to believe the praise of people who probably have no taste. It could be true, but make sure you believe it yourself if you ever think about using your talent.

To be fair, you aren't up against much competition. The only OELVN writer I've liked was Christine Love (the quality of what she writes aside, at least she knows how to write).

Why don't you work out your general ideas first and write up a brief sample script? If you can't even do that, you'll never get anywhere.

I quite liked the character art in Baldr Sky (the CG mecha was bad though), before the artist decided to completely change his style for Dive 2.

Thanks for the input, I am thinking of borrowing some books from my mother who teaches rhetoric and writing at the local uni to learn some more tricks. My old boss runs a surprisingly popular local literature publication (I know the local community collage uses stories from it in their american literature and low level english classes) that publishes 4 times a year so I will see if I can get something published after I iron my writing out. The deadline for the fall issue is August. My problem with writing a OELVN is that I wouldn't know what to write about considering the medium. Any story I have written has had no romance and has revolved exclusively around adults.

It's going to be a OELVN so it not being a moe moe Japanese high school romcom isn't going to be a problem. As long it's something something interesting.

Also, in addition to the writing, you have to consider the game aspects of it, like what kinds of choices you'll present to the player and how it will affect the rest of the scenario. And to be honest, I haven't seen the "choice" aspect in VNs used enough in interesting ways, so I think there's a lot of potential here.

I'm probably in the minority here, but Sachi and Yumiko's routes were my two favorite. I felt they were the most consistent about maintaining their quality from start to finish, whereas Makina and Amane's routes had some pretty severe ups and downs. Michiru's route is fucking awful though, and you can infer everything important about it from the scene where the branch point is.

For me personally it's Sachi>Michiru>Makina=Amane>Yumiko.
Yumiko's route didn't really fit the game. It turned CIRS into a massive joke which kinda ruins Makina's route.
Amane and Makina's route really isn't about them. Amane's route is about Kazuki while Makina is about Yuuji. Amane's route specially pissed me off with the way they killed Yuuji with cancer right after he stops having nightmares.

Meanwhile Sachi and Michiru's route focused on them and made me cry and satisfied.
I consider Michiru's twist stupid though.
I mean this is supposed to be a realistic story, why do we have some magic soul transplantation. That said I really like the ending, specially how the ending song was divided into two parts.

My problem with Michiru's route is that it reads like it was written by a fourteen year old kid who thinks everyone is out to get them. It's like this weird caricature of reality someone might have if their only exposure to the world was through sensationalist headlines. Physical, mental, sexual abuse, bullying, suicide, AND she's fucking sick to top it all off. "If I give it a name it'll only make it hurt even worse when I lose it oh no I wasn't paying attention to it for five seconds and now it's dead boo-hoo."

It's like the writer cherry-picked all the worst possible things he could come up with to shove into one route, and it just got so ridiculous I couldn't sympathize with it. About the only moment I genuinely liked was the bit where she realizes that she can make people laugh by pretending to be stupid.

The fact that the route portrays Yuuji like your standard dumbass anime protag just makes it all the worse. It certainly had potential, but it really could have used a better writer.

That said, I agree with you about Amane and Makina. Makina's route wasn't enough about her (especially since we get the full Yuuji story in Meikyuu), and both of them should have stopped before their epilogues. Amane's route did a decent enough job characterizing her (though like you said, Kazuki was the real star), but the present-day narrative was just tacked-on and generally poorly done, hurting the impact of the route as a whole.

Anonymous Thu May 2 04:16:56 2013 No.10829149

I thought the writing of Makina's route was some of the best in the media, a really good and massive route that managed to develop the universe of Grisaia while also focusing on Yuuji, Makina and how their relationship saves both of them

Amane's route had Angelic Howl which was really strong too and the epilogue, Kazuki is an extremely fascinating character and pretty much a genius done right.

The writing in Sachi's route was noticeably worse than the aforementioned routes but its plot wasn't bad, I prefer Fujisaki's take on Sachi compared to how she was there though

Michiru's route is actually pretty well written but the stupidity of the twist really hurt it, I guess it suits Michiru somehow?

Yumiko's route is just a degraded version of Makina's, pretty much a joke and didn't felt like Grisaia at all, the fact that the writer was pushed out is understandable.

The routes of Sachi and Yumiko are the ones that develop in the most normal eroge way so I guess it's possible that some people could favor them over the rest but I personally thought that the common route, Makina and Angelic Howl and what they went for is what set Grisaia apart of other charage and makes it a very refreshing experience.

Amane's route would have been the best part of the game, no contest, if it were just Angelic Howl and nothing else. Obviously, that doesn't work, but in its current form, it feels like they just plopped a good story in the middle of an awful nukige. How long did it take Yuuji to start thinking about marrying her? Four days or something? Give me a break. Angelic Howl itself was fantastic, but everything else about the route was obviously an afterthought, and as a whole, it was a bit of a clusterfuck.

You're right, the writing in Sachi's route was simpler and the story more straightforward, but that's part of the reason it worked so well. It wasn't *trying* to be big, and it did what it set out to do quite competently: tell a heartwarming, human love story. And while it lacked the same level of development and scale, Yumiko's route did what I wish Makina's had. It brought the problem to the forefront right from the beginning, and it wasn't afraid to show Yuuji kicking ass.

Had the execution of Makina's and Amane's routes been a little tighter, they would have easily been the best parts of the game, but their failings hurt them a lot more than the Sachi/Yumiko's route deciding to play it safe.

My problem with Makina's route is the lopsided pacing and that it seemed to be afraid to show Yuuji actually *doing* anything. Like you said, it's a big route. There's a lot going on, but almost all of that is shoved into the latter half, making it really back-heavy. I feel like it would have benefited a lot from pulling back and showing us how these organizations work and interact with each other before things actually started rolling. That way, we can focus on the action and the drama in the second half without it being weighed down by all the other stuff they could have gotten out of the way earlier. And as interesting as it was to see Kiara reporting on Yuuji's ass-kicking adventures, it got a bit irritating by the end. The internal politics stuff was fine, but it started to feel like the reports were being used as an excuse to avoid showing us any action.

Oh, and fuck that epilogue. I refuse to believe they would let Makina take Yuuji's place so easily. It took years of training and hard work for Yuuji to make it that far, and she plays guns with him a handful of times and does it in a year? Yeah right. I don't care how much of a genius she supposedly is, that's bullshit.

What's the deal with the Kikokugai remake that came out? I think it's been a year now...

I'd really like to play it, but I can't read kanji.
Is there anything like a translation project or official english release in the works?

I couldn't find any information about that either, I just thought maybe one of you guys might know something.

I liked Kikokugai a lot, probably one of my favorite VNs. I'd love to read the remaster of it.

A child molesting Catholic priest was teaching a class at a seminary on latin poetry.
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship the Lord and accept that he is our sheperd, our strength, our judge and our protector!”

At this moment, a brave, intelligent, militant atheist honour student who had debated 1500 hours in rethoric class and understood the inanity of prayers and fully supported all philosophical conclusions reached by Richard Dawkins stood up and held up a note with a strange graffiti on it.

”Father, answer my question right now. Is it true that God is just, all-merciful and omnipotent?”

The arrogant priest smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “Of course He is, Michael. Was that all you wanted to ask?”

”Wrong. My dad, my mom, my imouto, they were all slaughtered on Christmas Eve. If God exists and, as you say, He is just and omnipotent… then why did he let Devil-worshippers murder them?”

The priest was visibly shaken, and dropped his whiplash and copy of the Book of Job. He stormed out of the room crying those catholic crocodile tears. He wished so much that he could relieve his frustration through onanism, but he himself had preached against it!

The students applauded and all joined the anti-Xian secret society that day and accepted Satan as their lord and master. A serpent named “Eligor” slithered into the room and coiled around the inverted crucifix and shed a drop of semen on the icon of the Holy Mother. A black mass was held several times, and Lucifer himself showed up and led demonic orgies across the country.

The priest lost his ordination and was defrocked the next day. He was accused of sexually assaulting his altar boy and was tossed into jail for eternity.

I sort of liked the character, but the route was shit. Especially the ending, god damn. It was so dumb that I'd rather just had an EVERYONE DIES in stead. Yes, massively foreshadowed by Sakuya's story in Chihaya's route (which was shit as well), as I read it beforehand, but still.

I do remember there still being a lot of complaints about certain routes in Rewrite back when it was released. Less than there are now, but you also have to take into account that those opinions were pretty "fresh" back then. As time passes on and arguments get thrown around, people look back on it and their opinions are bound to change.

Sakura !6murAshIgE Fri May 3 04:37:11 2013 No.10833960

A decent number of people were disappointed with Rewrite when it came out, myself included. It's just we, or at least I, don't really talk about it since it came out because there is no need to, so most of the opinions you see resurfacing now and again are the positive ones. But once a game gets translated, and a lot of new people start talking about the game, those that originally didn't really like it much end up getting drawn back into the discussion. There is no "oh it's translated so now it is shit" or "there is an anime so now it is shit" mentality on /jp/.

I liked Sanehara's route, she is really cute. The game is kinda long though. Or actually, not so much is it long as there is not enough content specific to one girl to last you through to the end. I still had an entire month left after I maxed Sanehara, though fortunately it gives you the option to skip to the festival. I think they expect you to be pursuing all the girls in one play through, but I don't really play that way.

I never played the PSP version so I have no idea what is new to the game. You go on a date with her to the beach though and it's part of the story, so I assume it's in the original as well.

I thought this too.
Meaning, when people were hyping it up I was expecting something totally unforgettable but it only ended up being "pretty darn good, clearly better than most recent titles".

I don't remember if I've said it here before; I absolutely adore Grisaia's writing style but the actual main plot is rather wonky on many levels. F.ex. Kazuki "twist" was so damn obvious but still got dragged around way too much, Michiru's Kajitsu route borders on retardation, Sakaki's route is a watered down version of Makina's, Amane's could be summarized as nukige > über long predictable (if very atmospheric) flashback > forced conclusion.

Hard to say anything about Meikyuu as it was more of a filler fandisk rather than a full-blown sequel. But I hated how Oslo popped up out of nowhere (unless I'm forgetting something from Kajitsu?).

And judging from Rakuen trial this series is really pushing the boundaries of suspension of disbelief. Very, fucking, hard. Though it may all end up being a giant red herring.

I agree with everything you've said, but "average" is not the right word to describe it. The extreme fluctuation in quality from very bad to very good reminds me of Muramasa, where in both games, there were points where I thought that this was one of the best VNs I've read and at other points I wanted to smack the writer upside the head.

>But I hated how Oslo popped up out of nowhere (unless I'm forgetting something from Kajitsu?).
Oslo isn't mentioned directly but the fact that Yuuji did terrible shit during his childhood and is fucked up due to this is half of the plot of Makina's route.
I wouldn't say he pop up from nowhere, everything about Yuuji's past was shrouded in mystery in Kajitsu anyways.

For your other points I think the writer did a good job introducing all the new directions the plot could go on in Rakuen so far, as ridiculous sounding as they could be and the revelations about Kazuki were so casual it was obvious the writer knew nobody thought of it as a mystery.
It may be because I value the quality of writing a lot in an eroge/novel but I really can't understand how anyone could call Grisaia average anyway considering how fun to read it is for the most part.

I mean you call the first part of Amane's route a nukige and it may be but it's also full of the funniest scenes in the game including Sachi's お湿りなう
Angelic Howl may have been predictable for some obvious reasons but it was also a great read with the best portrayal of a genius character I've seen in this media, Meikyuu has Michiru's after that is one of the funniest thing I've ever read, etc...

Grisaia is far from being perfect but it's one of these eroge I like better with time since it gets more and more obvious after playing more eroge that it does some things really really well

Off the top of my head: The main villain of chapter 2 coming back as a gold giant thing, almost the entirety of the end of Ichijou's route, especially the shota blaming Ichijou for his sister insanity, the anti-climax that was Kanae's route's ending were all pretty bad.

The entirety of Ichijou's end was godlike.
And there was nothing wrong with the final of Kanae's even if it wasn't as spectacular as the other routes, still very tight thematically and seeing part of the fight from Kanae's pov was a really nice touch.
For the other thing, that was just Narahara's insanity, this just made Hikaru's entrance even more badass.

Pretty much exactly how I feel, though I haven't played the Rakuen trial (deliberately avoiding it), so I can't comment on that.

>>10836712
I've never really found the the game(s) all that funny. I enjoyed the common route not for its "comedy" but for the twisted interactions between characters who are all varying degrees of fucked up, trying to figure out just what would cause someone to end up like that. It did have its moments (Amane's first h-scene was a gloriously awkward clusterfuck), but its sense of humor was not what kept me reading.

The way I see it is that Masamune never had to face the consequences of his actions before. He's actually a very naive character and this is the first time when he realizes things aren't as simple as he always assumed they were. It's shock, not necessarily guilt, that makes him start to crack.

Tell me about it. For the whole time I was thinking that just by changing the BGM to something darker it could have been light rape scene as well. I was genuinely a bit disturbed, even more so after Amane tells Yuuji that she wanted to be violated as a punishment for leaving Kazuki.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the writer does have a pretty fucked up sense of humor. For example in Kajitsu when Sachi brings Amane ice-cream which ended up melting on the way and Michiru butts in to take it "for her own needs" and all the characters play it for laughs when in reality Sachi is most likely very close to snapping. Then there are the few non-canon Meikyuu comedy extras, especially the one between Michiru and her old friend which ends with the line "Let's be friends forever"

Yeah, it's that unspoken darkness that really drew me into the game in the first place. The feeling that everyone's always on thin ice, that everyone's their own walking minefield and you can never quite be sure where it's safe to step, but hiding it under the guise of normal but slightly off-kilter interactions.

To use your Kajitsu example, you just know that Michiru was trying her hardest to bring the situation under control, and things very well could have taken a turn for the worse had she not shown up when she did. Which isn't to say she handled it gracefully, because she most certainly didn't, but she handled it in the only way she knew how. It's a very delicate balancing act, and one that probably couldn't be sustained for very long without everyone.

I really dislike the cheap type of drama that Little Busters goes for for example and for an unpopular opinion most of the drama in AsuSeka disgusted me, with the only part I liked being the reaction of the parents during the common part.

I like the type Shumon goes for usually but also the type found in Symphonic Rain or Maruto's titles, basically drama focused on characters that have been extensively developed

Which I realize people here hate almost all of that.

Ozmafia's trial was kind of shit. I was expecting something like Black Wolves Saga but instead it was a rather mellow affair overall. I'm trying not to be overly critical considering it's the company's first game and from what I've seen the writer didn't work on anything before, but the final scene where Fuka went off to help Axel and everyone else tagged along wasn't very well written. What should have been a tense scene was really, a chore to read through. Granted I thought Axel himself was a terribly boring character (only read the segments with Scarlet and Pashet anyway), so maybe that played a part in me not caring much. Doubt the pace will change much when the full version is released either.

It's a sorry state of affairs when most of the supporting characters are more interesting than the heroes.

The art really is a treat. At this point it's almost like the three years spent on production were focused on the aesthetics more than the writing.

Where they left the trial at didn't inspire much hope either. You assume Kyrie shot Axel, but then CGs of him are plastered all over its site and shit. It's anticlimactic.

It is. Character in question is Pashet. She's in charge of her own army and is a regal type, sort of like Rose of Versailles' Oscar. At this point I'll probably only check out the full version to see what they do with her route since yuri routes are like gold dust. The protagonist, Fuka, is Shirou levels of dippy though so I don't know how their dynamic would ultimately work out. At one point when Pashet says she's in the charge of the army Fuka can either say 'how cool!' or 'how scary!'. Says a lot.

Speaking of Asairo, is it worth continuing it if I couldn't get into it at all during the first chapter?

Looking forward to グリザイアの楽園 and レミニセンス. I might try ChuSinGura46+1 -忠臣蔵46+1- and お嬢様はご機嫌ナナメ too depending on reviews.

This is a really good month for me, I hope the recent arrest of the eroge uploader doesn't delay this month's releases from being uploaded.

I beat makina's route in grisaia and now I'm playing yumiko's. It's not really my type of game so I'm on the verge of dropping it. I was wondering if amane's route is really worth it and whether I should do all the other routes first or can I just do amane's route and wait for rakuen?
Thanks in advance /jp/

Amane/Makina is a must.
Yumiko route is meh, the end only hints that some big shot is backing Yuuji.
Sachi, there's only a tiny bit of plot, but Sachi is a good character.
Michiru might be worth doing because of her "condition". I found the route enjoyable, but that's only because I like Michiru.

This. You could do them in the order they're presented but Amane's route connects best to Meikyuu / Rakuen and Yumiko's is a rather weak finisher. Remember to also read Amane's bad end.

If you'd like to get to real deal faster you can skip the non-canon After Routes and H-scenes in Meikyuu though.

If you look at it, this seems to be the type of cabinet with a base shelf on the bottom and two movable shelves in the middle. Look at the shadow and you'll see that the shelf behind the candle sticks is set in more because it's a bit smaller.

No, they are not interesting, it's not the point of the game. Although if you believe the words of the priest, your character is fucked if you don't get a girl right there.

There's one sudden end if you impregnate the girl, like the first game, but that's short and not even bad.

This just came to my mind, but what if the protagonist is ChäoS;HEAd's Takumi 2.0 and this is all in his head due to psychological issues, all of which will be fixed by the heroines giving him their pure, innocent love, revealing the game as actually being iyashikei?

Finished Madou Koukaku.
Definitely not something I'd recommend even though I finished it twice (I just had to see the true end)
Could be a pretty good game if the rts gameplay wasn't so terrible and restricted (which made a lot of the optional stuffs you can do like the monster fusion or the mercenaries meaningless), game is also pretty easy and I ended up raping the last boss even though I was playing on 難しい and didn't grind at all
Also only All got some costumes, I wanted some for Bell too.

It's nice that Eushully is trying some new things but they definitely bit more than they could chew this time, oh well.

Guess I have to finish Hyakka Ryouran Elixir now, I'm already down on An and Jasmine's routes.
Not bad so far.

I'm not sure what to think of this yet. All that talking feels a lot weirder in an actual battle during a storm on a ship than in the duel situations in Dies Irae. On the other hand it does start out stronger than the strange ghost town of DI.

I'm not that far in though.
