So yeah, this is pretty fun. And for its age, the voices have a good quality, and the performance is often really good as well. On top of that, all characters are voiced (including trapish MC), and it's one of those very few VNs that barely use narration.

So that's all nice, but there's one thing VNs really became better with: Settings and textboxes. This one has... well, you see the box. And it's always there, on CG as well. Don't you like an ero CG, where the face is completely buried under the box? Me too. Though not like ero is really important here anyway. It's old. The scenes were so far pretty short and by today's standards probably "not usable" tier.

I would be very happy to know if a particular script has the wrong length. Keep in mind that if it's off by like less than 1% then it's going to be a formatting difference.

I got the impression that this game really hates it's own side routes and just wants you to pick Yuki. The part in Ruri's route where Yuki says goodbye on the rooftop and is about to cry almost made me reload the save where the split happens and continue on the common route.

Also I'm really glad Ruri brought up the whole "hey call me by my first name now" thing, it really REALLY annoys me when a couple forms up and they still call each other by their surname after being together for a while. On a side note, naked rear-facing sprites should be more common!

It's more than 1%, but can still be formatting.
I just saw that you don't count a lot of stuff, so there's a good chance, that you just skip too much. What should be counted for scriptsize is an entire line, as you see it in a textbox. If nametags are included, that should be mentioned. (ideally they shouldn't be included) No internal formatting text. That after all IS the script and what you will be seeing in the game and be "reading". Technically you may not read certain characters, but they still symbolize something and as such have a meaning for you to see them. It's just like you can't just remove all punctuation and white spaces in english text for measuring English scriptsizes. Though you obviously count words here, or normed pages.

That may already be what makes a lot of your numbers weird. For example tlwiki says Axanael is 1.04 mb, while you have close to 10% less than that. I've measured Chronobox myself, and I got 15% more than you have. And so on.


So yeah, basically you seem to just have a different standard from the normal one that's generally used. (tlwiki, me, and even officially in Japan... though I can totally see Japan liking to include nametags without saying so) That seems to lead to rather different numbers once in a while, and relatively close ones as well. Kinda funny.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17690272
>For example tlwiki says Axanael is 1.04 mb

If I convert my axanael.txt file to shift-jis and turn \n\n into \n I get 1 139 526 bytes. It might be because of newlines? That's 1.08 MiB (1024^2), which seems to be what the tlwiki number for that script is based on (if tlwiki's measurement was metric megabytes, it would be dropping a lot, not me). There's a reason I ignore newlines when counting the total number of characters in the file, though. Different dumping tools do radically different things with newlines.

>I just saw that you don't count a lot of stuff, so there's a good chance, that you just skip too much.

Here's what I do:

Name tags: not included. If they're included anywhere it's a mistake. You can find the exact dumps I'm using here: https://vnscripts.neocities.org/

Internal formatting text: I strip all formatting other than ruby text. If any formatting is left in any of the scripts it's a mistake. I put ruby in 《》 instead of retaining the original formatting. If the original script explicitly marks which characters it goes over, the main big are in 〈〉 right next to the 《》. The characters-within-script column doesn't ignore the contents of ruby text, just the syntax characters, which is something I completely forgot about until I just checked.

Other text: The total characters per script field ignores "characters from r'『』「」［］（）()【】〈〉《》«»‹›〚〛〘〙｛｝｛｝　―－～。、…‥\n\r'. That includes ignoring various whitespace characters. ". I probably shouldn't be ignoring that much, but I have good reasons for ignoring 「」, newlines, and the full-width space.

A lot of games don't display 「」 when reading dialogue even if they're there in the script. Also, some script dumping tools don't include 「」 for dialogue at all (hoshimemo) and some add it even if it's not displayed in-game (most of my personal dumping tools).

Fullwidth space is ignored because some engines differentiate dialogue/narration with a leading fullwidth space.

I ignore newlines because different scripts encode newlines differently and some of my dumps have double newlines between almost every single dialogue line, to retain the logic "double newline = pagebreak (even for single lines of dialogue in ADV), single newline = linefeed".

Final notes:

Most of the scripts that were added recently were donations. You can see exactly which ones were in the changelog on vnscripts.neocities.org . Most (?) of the donations were in formats I could dump myself, but a few were pre-dumped.

Some of the scripts are partially deduplicated because of how their dumping process works. This is true for some of the BGI scripts (if dialogue deduplication was part of their compilation process) and, I think, Twinkle Crusaders, for example. None of the scripts that come from text formats like Fate/Stay Night are deduplicated.

I actually want to deduplicate FSN for most of the state, it's probably the worst offender. You're not going to read <cooking scene with minor wording changes> five times. I wouldn't deduplicate it for a total script size stat, don't worry.

>It's just like you can't just remove all punctuation and white spaces in english text for measuring English scriptsizes. Though you obviously count words here, or normed pages.

Character count is basically a replacement for word count that doesn't have to bother with morphological analysis, because morphological analysis is crappy. That's how it is for Chinese, too. Nobody measures English books in character count. Maybe bytes, which are different than characters if it has diacritics etc. and however it encodes paragraph breaks and linefeeds.

If you want, I could make a column that converts the scripts to shift-jis with consecutive linebreaks normalized and just measures their filesize.

>So yeah, basically you seem to just have a different standard from the normal one that's generally used. (tlwiki

I didn't realize tlwiki had an actual standard dumping format. As far as I could tell, I focused more on making scripts formatted similarly than it did. The real issue is that different VN engines are VERY different in how they handle text.

Definitely one of the most atmospheric VNs I've ever read. The OST is magical and lulls you into a dreamlike state while the consistently dark orange of the evening sun gives the game an almost magical atmosphere, which in turn fuels immersion into the protagonist's own madness. It's fantastic.

You can try to read it after 6-12 months but you will miss a LOT of nuance, struggle on nearly every line, and go very slow.
As a rule of thumb, it'll be 3ish years before you can comfortably read at a native-esque level capturing the majority of nuance and not being bogged down by your own lack of language abilities.

I'm a pretty decent way through Akeiro, and I have mixed feelings on the game. (In the middle of Kana's route, only have the true route left). There's a lot of good stuff in it. I really loved Velvet's route, for example, and I love the banter between all the characters. The SOL is pretty entertaining and really manages to make me laugh, the game really makes me appreciate Nanairo more in retrospect.The horror elements and production values all do manage to really stand out as well.

However, the game doesn't really do much to make me want to keep playing it. It's kind of a weird feeling, but I constantly have to force myself to read it rather than wanting to read it. I've been at the game for nearly a month now and I don't think it's as long, whereas with something like White Album 2 I managed to get through the entire game in one and a half weeks. It's not like it's a bad game, though. I'd even say that Velvet is one of my favorite heroines. It wasn't really a problem in Nanairo since I guess it was shorter, but Akeiro really drains me for some reason. Every time I think about reading the game I think about how I could be reading something else, which is a pretty bad sign.

I don't think it's a bad game by any means, it's great, I think I'm just not on it's wavelength, I guess.

I was just done with Sumire by Nekoneko Soft. This was their 15th anniversary title so it was chocked full with their previous works, however the only title that I have played besides this one was Scarlet so I didn't really bother with that feature.
Sumire is a solid title with its own merits. The writing is pretty decent and features realistic characters (at least for eroge standards.) For example, the protagonist is a working adult a former loner who just recently became an office drone and goes through his day with a fake smile. The heroines are also socially isolated and hate themselves for it. Their online personalities basically become their crutches to escape the real world, which I think resonates with a lot of people here.
Unfortunately this title comes short of being "great." Perhaps I should have expected this from multiple writers, but the routes' qualiy differed wildly. Sumire's route is pretty damn good (I think this is written by Kataoka?), but Hinahime is a let down, while Akari's route feels kinda rushed but pretty daring given the way it was structured. Also the routes are fixed and there are really no main girl, which turns the whole game into fixing girl's issue and move on to the next one. You basically get the heroine's H-scene if you choose to be with her and that's it. You could argue that Sumire is the main girl since her H-scenes are canon no matter what choices you make.
Overall the game is quite short (about 15 hours) so if you're looking for a quick and decent read then Sumire might be what you're looking for.

That's not the problem. The very fact that you have to go through the same stuff twice is. It being faster is the least it could do. Though the route split should've simply been afterwards. You know, something like if protag gets together with her, the other guy gets a little mad and does something, while if the protag doesn't do that nothing happens. That's even kinda realistic.

But whatever. Ruri should've never been a heroine in the first place and simply have a normal boyfriend.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17695029
>The very fact that you have to go through the same stuff twice is
I actually JUST went through this part and you are 100% right. Even when you don't boink Ruri you still have to deal with Tezuka, challenge him to the soccer shoot-out, etc etc. You just don't have 12 h scenes padding it anymore so it goes pretty quickly.

Not sure if this happens in other routes. It's like instead of the routes branching out they just overlap with the common route and once the girl's problem is resolved the route is basically over? At least that's how I see it. Just started the Suzu section and I can already see the setup a mile away.

Plenty are quite ambiguous. Like in Sakura no Uta when they were talking about the whole Japanese influence on certain pieces of Western art (forgot what exactly) or basically all of Otoboku 2 and all the fashion related shit from Tsuriotu. Not to mention when it comes to Japanese culture and mythology, like the origin of some gods and how their representation evolved etc.
It's quite likely the writers just misrepresented some facts to make things more interesting or it could all be pretty accurate. To know for sure you would need to not only google that something like that exists but the description is accurate.

I think the worst part of it all was how, on Ruri's route, Yuki says sayonara very early on and you never see her again... until the broadcasting thing (although MC isn't aware it is her). Then after continuing the common route, Yuki does the same thing, only this time MC is aware that it was her.

Really a copout on the devs part, it was like they ran out of time to flesh out the route or something.

[Anonymous No.]

Finished the trial for ゆらうか

Never mind that the MC is alone with four other chicks and two otherworldly apparitions. Game advertises it as mystery with an eternal summer vacation going on. Trial starts slow, some slice of life here and there, and scenes in between SOL moments that makes you give an idea of what's up with the island. Some tense moments too but maybe it's because of the music. Characters are okay with Sumire (pic related) being the most interesting since she feels like she's the center of it all, Konoha because of maybe the same circumstances the MC has, and the imouto Tomoe while being the annoying imouto type, may be hiding something. As for the mystery part, I was still blueballed by it since it's mostly just questions as to why. And got fooled a lot times when I hear those meows. Made me look around to see if there were actually cats.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17698887

There's more than enough random shit (with better art too!) to play this month.
The delays are definitely a thing though. People should ideally get anti-hyped by those, but whatever. Maybe it's not becoming a total fucking mess 5 hours in that they tried to deal with for well over a year of delays.

But hey, there's good about it as well: There are enough here who jump on it, so one can just wait for some impressions on the later parts before bothering.
In the meantime one can play... dunno.. a shitty stripping game, or some game which hopes that the utterly cringy story is compensated by inaural audio, or a good looking probably vanilla nukige with kakao art (still haven't played the previous one myself though), or the next game of the company who let a loli die in a thousand cruel ways which however seems to be totally different and just some sentai stuff (?), or some phoenix wright esque game where it's more about rubbing girls than solving mysteries, or your typical cringe moege (to quote michi: "You’ve got the long-lost imouto, osananajimi, classmate and (bishoujo) kouhai."), or something where an oni is totally coming or whatever!

More than enough stuff. I'll probably pick some bad looking ones and give those a whirl on saturday. Will be fun.

Finished the Sayaka route in Tokidoki Pakucchao!

Mixed feelings. On one hand Sayaka was a pretty good character. She feels very human in some ways, partly because of her voice direction. They did a really great job together with the voice actress there. Her struggles and whatnot all feel rather natural and you get to see her in a lot of different ways with many different emotions. For how much the game is based around comedy, she wasn't just written as an angry tsukkomi girl who never falters and would've probably gotten annoying soon with her damedame.
On the other hand the protagonist... was lacking. He did some really nasty shit to Sayaka and till the end never realized or reflected on any of it. That was so freakin' weird. It's not even that the author just didn't realize himself, as Sayaka does get back at the protagonist near the end and more or less does the same that was done to her, just "not as much" I guess. Still, it's pretty crazy. Is this supposed to be some special kind of donkan or something? I have no idea. I guess I can be happy at the protagonist at least getting some of his own medicine, as I didn't expect that.


The main-story was almost not existing, so it's mostly an episodic work that heavily features the "phantom thief vs. whoeverwantstocatchhim", in my case Sayaka as it was her route. Almost no narration to the point what little sometimes popped up felt alien, all characters voiced (including protag) and Sayaka's voice acting being as good as it was however made this a fine way to spend some time and wait for release day of this month. Was decently funny at times as well. Quite a bit of ero though, even if it's generally short.
I'll probably get back to this later to play another route or so. Fun fact: The Grisaia author seems to have written 2 routes of this game, though I doubt I'll ever see them. One of the characters I haven't even met, while the other one is voiced by someone I really don't like (the voice that is). I probably have to play towards the latter to even meet this fourth one and judging from the gallery... it's probably more a sub-route or whatever anyway.

Every fucking time. He looks 100% like a girl. I really couldn't tell.
Why eroge makers are afraid of making trap routes? I don't care if it's gay, I don't see how having h scenes or romance with a boy who looks 100% like a girl is more extreme than fucking loli and children porn.

Because eroge are usually targeted at a heterosexual audience.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17704408

You don't find extreme lolicon in "normal" eroge either, usually that is. The girls are often only flat and/or small, but usually not super young and "loli-ish". Or they are actually old enough, or don't behave like a loli. Or anything. But the actual real lolicon kind of stuff is fairly minor and isolated. Just like trap stuff usually is. And pretty much all of the "not so typical" fetishes.

If you want yaoi traps, go play one of the trap games. This month should have one of those as well.. I think.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17704487
Pretty much. Compare a true lolige like a tanukisoft game vs, say, Marshmallow with only a single loli heroine who acts like an onee-chan not a loli. Most eroge only feature a single token loli, and lately even that has started to fall by the wayside as devs give more and more girls cowtits.

>Is this game a nukige or does it have some actual romance etc in it?
Ok, basically the game is set into two parts: the short prologue where you pick a few choices to determine which girl you marry, and then the real game starts where you have married fun times.

I just wish the girls (save for the kitsune) didn't have such ridiculously huge breasts. There comes a point, imo, where big becomes too big and becomes disgusting. See pic.

And not even good cowtits, at that.
I remember a time when breasts looked like something that could belong on the girl's body and played nicely with the rest of the body parts. Nowadays they're sentient beings that consume all of the subject's brain to grow to ginormous sizes, morph attires to their shape and have to be held in place 24/7 by twig arms.
Shit like this is why I gravitated toward smaller sizes over time, because they don't look wrong. The reason I haven't bothered with noratoto was because every single heroine followed this buttfuck stupid anime tiddies trend.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17704857

Noratoto actually looks mostly fine. Coming from someone who isn't really into too big tiddies. I think only one girl really went overboard, though even there it was still comparatively good looking.

It really depends on the whole body. If the body is all thin and the breasts big, it quickly looks like total shit. Noratoto is a lot more constant there, so while its breastsizes would be pretty bad with a lot of artists already, it looks quite nice. Provided you aren't just completely into medium size by now.

The new Monako game is a good example of where it goes too far, even though the art isn't bad. The main image you see on their website (or on nyaa..) shows the girls all with theirs naked, so you can see it easily. And I feel purple looks way off. Side-tail is barely on the "this is fine" line, being quite close to "one breast getting bigger than the head". Twintail is the best. The sprites you see on vndb char pages look all fine, but you can also see that the breastsize increased from their game last year a bit. But with only two games by that brand, it's hard to immediately call it a "general trend", especially with just one year in between. Not like big tits are even more needed this year than last year.

I just saw that twin tail is probably supposed to be bigger than side-tail based on three sizes of the characters. That's another issue with a lot of games. Consistency and perspective.

However it says that DMM Game Player no longer exists and to use Nutaku. I don't see anywhere to put a code in on Nutaku. Never used that site before.

The other VN I bought from there was just a direct download with no shit like this. Anyone gone through this before? There's a note under the page where it says to go to Nutaku to pick Japanese language if you want to play Japanese games but I see no option for that either.

Completely agree. Often times you'll see the breast change sizes during CGs. And this doesn't apply to just breast/bust size, either: chara height is also another thing the devs hardly seem to care about. I've seen 146cm girls standing nearly side-by-side to girls 20+ cm higher, and this kind of sloppiness annoys me.

I know some anon posted an older picture when we were discussing big fat tats in an earlier thread and he posted a girl that was considered "big" like ~12-15 years ago, nowadays that would only be considered medium at best. See pic.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17706978
I think the problem has gotten worse over time recently, culminating in the situation we have now. For example, Tone work's first couple of games had a very varied cast of breast sizes (especially hoshi ori), whereas their latest release last year (ginharu) has that "Everyone is E+ cup except the token loli" problem you brought up.

Tone work's is just one studio doing it, but plenty of others are as well. It wasn't so bad when enormous cowtits were mostly seen in nukige made primarily for that purpose, but in the past few years it has definitely gotten worse imo. I'm not very picky myself, sometimes I like loli and sometimes I like oppai, but when the oppai reaches the point where it is bigger than the girl's head, I just sigh.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17707019

True. I don't mind tits every once in a while but there's a point where enough is enough. This persistent "the bigger the tits the better the girl" plan did nothing but blow up in their faces and put me on alert for good. I won't hesitate to skip a game if it looks like it's designed by a fap deprived dick.

Bad sign in this case for sure, given the massive delays, but it's technically more than enough for a full length game with normal to even high production values. Most devs just don't care and fill their single layer dvd, because why not? You have the space.

I would've liked to be wrong and it becoming a good game as well (even with just hearing about this prequel), but to be completely honest... what happened wasn't that unlikely. I didn't think it would be THAT bad, but alas.

Still, given the way it is, I'm not going to disappoint myself any more than I need to if I actually do check out how much of a mess it is, for science.

What pisses me off is that devs are just going to see this as another short=bad thing when the problem with the VN isn't necessarily its length so much as the fact that it's unfinished.

I'd actually prefer VNs were shorter for the most part, it's just a pointless timesink when I have to slog through 20 hours of filler for 10 hours of relevant content just because the usual VN otaku is brainwashing into thinking time investment is proof of quality.

[Anonymous No.]

It sort of stands on its own, but it's obviously intended to be a lead-in to a longer story. Though honestly it wraps itself up better than the main game does.

Basically this. VNs are long because they're expensive. Cheap games are accordingly short.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17707848

If you don't have a long story to tell, you don't have to be full price. Also quality is a thing as well.

But most games that seriously suffer from length simply do so because they are shit anyway. The reason why it's easy to blame length is that one is generally more willing to keep up with something meh for a not that long time. Fairly obvious people don't want to spend 8 hours on a route of a girl they find meh, while if each girl has a 2 hour route, it may be alright as one hour is probably going to be "romance plot" anyway, half an hour sex and half an hour random stuff.. compared to 6 hours of random stuff in your 8 hour route.

Of course, exceptions exist and plot games and whatnot may also suffer in that regard, but that's largely because of a lack of editing to trim things.

Not all VNs are from Pulltop, Yuzusoft or the like, where a bunch of randoms get commissioned to write x kb text for girl y and then the company pastes it together with some glue and releases it. There are actually some where the author wants to tell a story... aside of making money. Length tends to work quite differently there.

Ok, finished Omokage Railback. Now I kinda get the hate. Here's my non-spoiler thoughts.

I was actually following this VN for more than a year. Initially just wanted it for the Nono look-alike and the VN itself is set in an inaka so I just want nothing special and comfy. But the way they built up the premise, the setting, world etc in their website looked promising since there was the whole two sides of the family and their own circumstances. And then the prequel came and that really changed my (and most other people's) expectations. After a month or so, there's finally the trial which felt nothing like the prequel but more of a foreshadowing of what's next to come because of the prequel and hints.

Finally got to the main game. Common route IS the main story. All important things that happened was there. I do like the mix of comedy and serious moments but there's more comedy and lighthearted moments than serious ones. I think the common route was fine, it ended and resolved but it was too quick and there wasn't enough buildup and action to make it a satisfying one though.

Now everything after the route, it's pretty much which grill wud u fug. Any differences between the two families is quickly resolved in their own routes like it was nothing. Maybe Juri's was good because it relates to the prequel but still, it was too quick. And after finishing each character's route, you unlock a "winter" scenario is which just more ichaicha.

As for the characters, the MC stands out as much as an electric pole which felt weird seeing his character during the prequel. Juri (==) Iroha > Lemon > Aya probably in terms of character. The other Yoshioka's didn't get enough screentime aside from the sister to actually give a shit why they're either scary or someone you should care for as an ally. And I was expecting more from the two nig-nogs but they're just the token exaggerated NIHOWNGOW speaking gaijins.

>10 hours
I'm no fast reader but I feel like 10 hours is the common route desu. I did spend maybe 15 or more so total hours with the routes and their winter scenes.

tldr: I don't hate it but I don't like it neither. I'm...just satisfied because I was actually expecting it as a moege when it was first announced. Everyone was bamboozled because it showed good plot and story. But the H scenes are really fucking delicious, Iroha and Aya's in particular.

I think I can tell more once people have a go at it but I guess everyone's avoiding it now because of seeing the reviews.

Personally going through bits of it right now and I feel as if the sound mixing could've been better. The positional audio is seriously off at times as well and the dynamics are a bit too wide for spoken word. At least the H-scenes are (mostly) free of issues, but eh. Good concept, though. Hopefully it'll be done more and more.

One of the things that annoyed me most about Ginharu was how they gave the ice skater heroine huge tits. It doesn't take a genius to know that ice skaters tend to be on the petite side. They even show her flat during a loli flashback!

>>17716456

With Golden Hour it just helps not to be reading too much and the last similar works being a good time away.

My biggest issue with the main story was really that it felt all kinda amateurish and very rough. There are just several plot strings that never go anywhere while important stuff is sometimes cut short and so on. All its major themes have been tackled better by several other VNs I've read not that long ago.
I'm not saying which themes as that can be a spoiler, but Newrin, Daitoshokan and Satsukoi all share some major idea with Golden Hour and while they all have their own issues, Golden Hour's main points are better done by these. The "strength" of Golden Hour I suppose is that it doesn't have anything really bad going on... unless you count its "routes" which are even more rough than the main story.

It's really a hard game to recommend. Marshmallow as well though, unless if one is a massive moege fan in which case... why even ask?
