It is time for us to start the counter-attack, this cannot go on
>>3927>Ironic VNs<leave
why LOL?
>>3903There are already a few VNs (most of them ironic I think) about communism.
I've no idea if that North Korea parody of Go! Go! Nippon is any good or just retarded clichés+generic porn.
Art is pretty fucking good though>>3927This
I fucking hate ironic VNs
>>3954The MajiKoi thread?
>>4200After checking the page for that VN and a few others by the same developer, I get the impression that they're semi-ironic and semi-serious, and are just milking this kind of subject for money.
Also it appears to be full of clichés as expected.
>>4203 >are just milking this kind of subject for moneyJust like all le ironic XD visual novels.
There's a large market of tasteless irony poisoned 20 somethings that eat this shit up and even corporations have realized this, like KFC.
>>4309>even corporations have realized this, like KFC.god that was so fucking cringe.
I remember there was an attempt at a satirical otome game set in the Middle East about romancing ISIS members as an American glowie. The creator was an Iranian-American.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/835422767/the-super-patriotic-dating-simulatorSadly it didn't reach the goal and I don't think the devs have made an update in 2 years.

https://vndb.org/v14631What about a serious dating simulation for various communists? It's not like there aren't enough things that could be made into in game elements.
>>4665This one actually seems somewhat interesting.
>>4869Oh neat, thanks.
If Touhou is allowed in both boards I think VNs should be, too. Since some are hybrids and others are kinetic novels that lack interactivity.
>>4650I wish I could speak for myself, but I've read this is actually well-written despite it being one of the first "funny" VNs that became popular after being streamed by YouTubers (it probably started the ironic VN fad too, unfortunately making it look like just another meme """dating sim""").
I do have it installed
because I play otome, but haven't been got around to reading it.
>>4701I can barely read the name in the first pic, but I mean, she's not wrong. Shame that these little funny truths about capitalism couldn't be used to make the reader question it instead of just reaffirming DPRK myths and profiting off them.

>>5532It seems that their previous game Housamo has an English speaking community, and also had a lot of bara and kemono characters and that's the main appeal (as with many other shallow mobage from Japan where the main difference between them is the character designs) but outside of that, there seems to be no explicit sexual content in this game.

What we
really need to respond to is shit like the Falun Gong VN lmao

>>9776"A Thousand Arms" was an old PS1 RPG where a significant part of the game was going on dates with female RPG companions…it is all about the male protagonist who is a blacksmith by trade. Pretty good lefty game.

>>9776>visual novels/dating sims/otomeIs otome considered such a different genre or something? are there that many girls on this site, or is it because otome offers a different kind of experience? I would hope it's both, I feel lonely.
What you consider "generic anime style" is not clear, but if you like eroge about consent, there's an otoge called Cute Demon Crashers. As an OELVN, it also has an obligatory bisexual option.
https://vndb.org/v17210The thing is, there's very few 18+ otome games, and even fewer in English:
https://vndb.org/v/all?q=&fil=tag_inc-542.tagspoil-0.lang-en&rfil=minage-18&cfil=&s=title&o=a Anyone got some text-RPG/VN I can play on browser?
Something like Corruption of Champions or Melting Point maybe?
https://astrokaen.itch.io/melting-point https://www.fenoxo.com/play-games/Some Dating Simulators that aren't Doki Doki Literature Club
Right now practically the only dating simulator franchise for straight men is an eroge series called Lovely x Cation, and some standalone SFW ones have been released in the past decade or so. You know the guy who married a video game character? She's from the dating sim Love Plus by Konami. The 3DS version (which has only a partial translation so far) is said to be even better. The original DS version has been fully translated into English.
If you wanna play the girl and be a Yandere you can do Yandere Simulator
The classic adult dating sim Doukyuusei got a remake recently, and it's also getting an official translation that will probably release later this year. (Unfortunately if you prefer the old-school feel of the original and don't know Japanese you're gonna be stuck playing the remake). I've never played it, but apparently it's really good because, unlike other dating sims/galge of the time, sex and virginity weren't treated like a big deal (back then NTR wasn't so popular, not sure if it even existed), and the girls were taken more seriously. Plus, apparently the dialogue is pretty good compared to modern galge (at least that's what a reviewer said).
https://vndb.org/v185 If you can stand the horrible interface and some bugs, you can play True Love, another classic dating sim (I think this one got licensed back in the day) right now:
https://www.asenheim.org/true-love/I remember this one mostly because it had a gay ending although there's no sex in it.You can find a guide easily.
>>9799>Some Dating Simulators that aren't Doki Doki Literature Club DDLC isn't a dating simulator.
>If you wanna play the girl and be a Yandere you can do Yandere SimulatorThat's not a dating sim either.
>>10007Do you mean
Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa?
I dimly recall this so mind giving some examples of your greentext?
>>10020If I recall correctly, Katawa Shojo is like this as well. There's actually plenty of eroge with very late and not as prominent sexual content that doesn't involve rape. Key's works are also famous examples. These are usually normal love stories and not really "porn".
On the VNDB the tags Late Sexual Content, Low Sexual Content and Pure Love Story 'usually' are applied to VNs without any non-consensual sex acts. The sex in these stories generally isn't a big part of the plot, if at all.
If we're talking about specific cases of sexual content affecting sales, I seem to recall that Type-Moon's earlier stuff needed sex scenes to be published.
>>10015This pretty much.
People working on companies like Key explicitly said that the porn in their games is just because they feel the need to make porn to appeal to the eroge fanbase and sell shit, so the sex scenes are forced with complete disregard for the story (so yes almost every sex scene is pretty much rape), I remember them saying that they feel much more comfortable with all ages releases because they feel more "natural", this also seems to apply to a lot of other companies, I remember Leaf (To heart) saying something similar.
There are also games (nukige) that are explicitly for porn, they don't give a shit about the story that is only there as an excuse to rape your imouto and all her friends.
>>10021Katawa Shoujo has rape
Hanako was raped, prove me wrong >>10015>>10036Also, lots of eroge, mostly nukige, even rape nukige, have at least some amount of endings where if the protagonist acts like a piece of shit towards any of the heroines, he gets punished accordingly. So the fact that some companies add unnecessary sex scenes in their VNs to sell doesn't justify the fact that the protag in
>>10007 rapes and gets away with it (according to that anon).
We would need more details to know exactly how the rape shit was handled, though.
>>10039Another sad case of a fantasy/fighting VN with unnecessary sex scenes forced upon it because japs are unable to buy games where you can't fuck heroines.
This is just fucking dumb, this kind of idiocy is why the PC eroge/VN market is dying and being replaced by shitty mobage, a lot of companies that used to be very big 2 decades ago stopped being creative and started making shitty nukige to respond to market demand until they died a sad untimely death (Elf is the better example)
I don't even blame developers, if you put titties you're going to sell more copies (until the cumbrains jump shit to another shitty nukige maker), I blame the customers that are retarded, otakus are cancer and an obvious example of what's wrong with capitalism.
>>10039>>10042No wonder I can't stand the Fate fandom, for all the interesting concepts and decent animation it can have it just squanders it 'cause it started off as a ecchi VN.
Also the Command Seals are basically the magic slave brands like in Shield Hero, so commanding a grill to have sex is literally the most obvious step, so the developers just skipped the hypothesizing by fans and put that in too.
Artoria Pendragon literally says "My consent is IRRELLEVANT".
>Otakus are cancer based and true, Miyazaki is right.
As a side note the Fate series is a disordered mess that makes no sense, it's already overstuffed for a plain fighting videogame, let alone a VN.
>>10007>rape scenes every chapter and even the main character rapesThat happen in decent about of vn's anon.
>pacifist propaganda >the main character of the pacifist propaganda is a rapist and rapes people for jerking>when you're a post-modern neolib writer with a rape fetishanarcho-pacifism is crying right now, and this prove or helps the opposite of there "
capitalist-realist-like" point.
>>9998I would play it, but card-like system most of the time is not for me
>>10040>he gets punished accordinglyThat's still bad and ruins any kind of message you're trying to tell, if you have rape porn for jerking off.

I usually played visual novel for new ideas, so subpar translation don't affect me much. I remember that I was once reading a short story of Romeo Tanaka by google translate (which was very bad back then), and was still surprised by his comment that
"being successful by writing gal game, my hands are full of otaku's blood" The recent muramasa tl that came out pales in comparison to the original even with how competent the translators so if you want the best experience you gotta learn your moonrunes
>Antoinette Her and Eric Sparrow are the two most evil villains in all of gaming. I was hoping that she will turn into a good person by the power of MC, but the author is right: Aristocrats basically are irredeemable, many of them deserve the bullets
>>10090High schooler isn't loli, dum-dum
>>never play the game or any of the other vns i've spend so much time looking into and downloading.I can relate THOUGH
I consider myself a VN pseud actually, since I only read
about them but almost never actually read them.
I get distracted a lot okAt least I can say I've read a whole nukige in Japanese with my beginner skills and a dictionary. I understood about 95% of the text.
>>10114Ah… pitching and catching then?
that's a joke >>10113'an', and I suppose yes? though it's pretty high quality for an H-game.
There was this eroge I played called homeless schoolgirl (
https://vndb.org/v4767), basically a…homeless schoolgirl…she
gets abused by her stepdad, she escapes from home and later while searching for food a gang of thugs rapes her and makes her their sex slave, and also they make her cook for them, this happens for quite a while, one day she finds a puppy and befriends him and she's happy for a while, the thugs aren't happy ofc so they torture the dog and kill him in front of her eyes. Secretly she was using some flowers that she found to make a very powerful poison, she uses that poison to kill all the gang members while saying how wonderful is to see them suffer and begging for their lives while they die a horrible death, then she finally finds peace. It was satisfying and very short.
Translation Project forum:
https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/14210-homeless-school-girl-translation-project/There's a lot of nukige about a dude who gets revenge on girls by raping and torturing them. And a lot where the protagonist is just a psychopath who rapes random women. For example, the "Rape! Rape! Rape!" series. Or other eroge where degenerate shit is casual as fuck, like the 0verflow universe (that dude who impregnated like 4 generations of his own offspring and like half of the cast is descended from him).
But there are dark eroge where you get a bad ending where you're killed or something equally horrible happens to the protagonist if you act like an asshole. I like those more. One that combines this kinda shit. "Minikui Mojika no Ko" (
https://vndb.org/v21667) about a fugly dude
that can read thoughts and uses his power to get revenge (AKA rape) all the girls who used to torture him. At one of the endings he gets raped back by one of his victims,
as in she literally puts a strap on and starts fucking him in the ass while laughing and smiling.>>10143Sounds eerily similar to Metamorphosis and the dog part reminded me of that part of Bible Black Gaiden (or Elfen Lied). As for the disturbing content, I think it's just a way to shock the viewer and make their crap more interesting to the niche it is made for. It certainly helps, but it almost never means it's well executed.
This reviewer gets it:
https://vndb.org/w2477#review>Conveniently, despite starving, she doesn't appear to suffer from malnutrition and has a flawless body. She also seems to be always perfectly clean and, despite being raped without protection from countless men, she never gets pregnant or acquires an STD. So, let's be honest, the reality isn't the focus here. This isn't a documentary story about a harsh reality. It's not trying to discuss a social issue.>What it does is use cheap emotional manipulation and shocking images only for the sake of being shocking. There isn't any message or even a purpose in being shocking. The story actually says absolutely nothing. It's just a series of scenes that gets quickly boring and predictable.>Actually, there's one purpose in all this stuff: fetish. I know many people may think that definitively, in no way, someone would feel aroused by this, but… Yes, there's. There're numerous ways to portrait a naked body and a sexual abuse act. However, the artist chooses to always draw them in an erotic style, putting her naked, flawless, and fragile body on the center of the screen while violent and dangerous men point their erect penises to her as weapons. Even if you felt too sad to be horny, it doesn't change the fact that this is a visual novel that offers only sexual images to dark fetishes. And, yes, that means that this is a nukige. I've seen far worse shit from eroge tbh (starless, euphoria etc) and yeah it's fucked up, the japs seem much more used to this kind of shit, and I guess don't act on it as much as burgers might. Still the aforementioned are interesting, longer and have better writing and production value, like I said. Although yeah, they're still made to shock and (shamefully) arouse it's audience.
This VN sounds worse than the nukige I played where a bunch of guys
were held hostage in a school by a serial killer and forced to fuck each other and sometimes do even more disturbing sex acts. Then it turns out that the serial killer wasn't the actual killer, he was the twin brother of one of the hostages, and the twin brother was the actual murderer, who developed a split personality when they were both raped as children. The fake murderer brother was also raped when he was in the military. But you don't find out any of that without going through absolutely insane endings first, many of which make little sense and involve some or all of the characters being brutally murdered while in a state of mindbreak. For example, in one of those endings, the protagonist becomes a sadist and forms some sort of cult with the other hostages, then does a weird ritual where they're all standing with boners and staring at the moon, and then put some orange peels on their dicks. It was so laughably bad and surreal that it must have been intended to be funny. In another ending where the protagonist becomes a sadist, he makes everyone kill each other, it makes absolutely no sense. It also turns out that the Homeless Schoolgirl author got the idea from this autobiographical movie about a high school boy who becomes homeless:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1194660/ It seems that the creator of the nukige, someone who only makes rape nukige by the way (so the posts praising the story are totally wrong about this not being a rape fetish nukige), wondered what would happen if he took the basic premise of the movie and the protagonist were a girl (who, of course, gets raped non-stop, because she is a girl). Sick fucks like these are always looking for any convoluted excuse to make rape porn, basically.
Japanese culture is super repressed in actual interactions, and that probably is the only reason they're not as crimed up as, say, Britain. I feel it's got something to do with how alienated they are. Even if they have """super-low crime rates""", they also have terrifying rape-murders in real life and all this fucked up shit in fiction. And even if it's supposed to be some sort of commentary or to make the audience empathize with the victims, it's portrayed in an erotic manner; Japanese otaku are really fucked up (and then their Western equivalents try to imitate them). Funnily enough, they also created imageboard culture, so… yeah take that as you will.
>>10158No problemo

>>10160Yeah I referenced to this thread in the original one in /siberia/, to redirect the conversation here. Well, I didn't actually mean this thread, rather the hentai review one. I didn't really expect someone to repost what we had posted, but this is fine.
>>10159I'm glad to know you found my post amusing. Yeah, that nukige was a surreal experience, though there are even more bizarre ones out there.
Why did you add your own comments to our posts though? Don't think I didn't notice >>10163>your own commentsA) I thought most of you'd pull a /b/ and refuse to post here, like the Avatar idiots are doing
B) I had comments from reading your posts but decided they didn't deserve their own posts, so I made small adjustments
C) Some posts are too small, so I combined them and used comments of my own to transition topics smoothly
I purposefully did this thread since the hentai review one is basically inactive and I reposted its effort posts here too. This thread already had some sporadic activity compared to the other VN threads, so I've been trying to cultivate conversation since the split fucked shit up.

>>10204It's not explicit, it doesn't have any porn or sexy scenes, hell AFAIK there's not a single male character in the game.
When you're used to so much porn from these games finding one that doesn't have any is weird, it's almost a rule that all japanese vn's have porn on PC.
But it's fine for me may give it a shot.

>>10212Almost all eroge is very plot heavy and with relatively little emphasis on porn (except nukige).
I've played games where you have to read 10 hours of shit to get 1 sex scene almost at the end.
>>10555Comrade… what am I looking at? I was talking about another game completely different. I'm not familiar with this one. wai- THIS IS SCHOOL DAYS?? WHAT? Oh my god… those family trees are insane. So, Makoto's father is Tomaru? huh never knew that. No wonder he is such a chad, literally inherited the dick no jutsu from his father. God damn his father fucking banged everyone lmao. I keep looking back at the chart and laughing from the absurdity of it all. I Saw the anime as a kid and saw a couple of porn vids about the game. Never knew it had so much lore… One might say, it's a little too much! Tomaru Sawagoe and Ayumu Inou and Sun Hazama, like who the hell are they and why do I want to learn more about them? I don't know if this is what you want to hear, but i'm intrigued by overflow's games now. The amount of fucking content is right up my alley.
>>like the 0verflow universe (that dude who impregnated like 4 generations of his own offspring and like half of the cast is descended from him).I thought you were talking about Makoto, that's why I got confused. But now I know you were talking about his father.

>>10555>>10566The 0verflow universe is probably one of the most fucked up things humanity has ever created, far worse than Rance, at least he never fucked his own daughter and mom.
The rabbit hole goes far deeper than school days.
There was a couple of extremely good threads about it on /jp/ that were made in 2010, but I can't find them in the archives.
>>10724 >Get on this ride Don't ask me, I didn't play and find these games myself I knew people that did it using fantranslations.
>Do any of the games deal with this stuff explicitly It has some plot relevance in the games, mostly School Days.
>>10736Yeah I think we all know about Ren'Py. There are some other VN engines released in the West, but in my opinion none of them will ever top it. Some are drag-and-drop tier but not half as powerful as Ren'Py.
>>10726>There was a couple of extremely good threads about it on /jp/ that were made in 2010, but I can't find them in the archives.Can you give us a quick rundown at least? Sounds interesting, especially coming from /jp/ of all places

Better ask GET,as was already said,they would also be the only one interested in giving lolishit to you.
>>10772>The joke response is that >>it was about Alunya and Rodina sucking your dick in a bunker. >Likely referencing some very questionable l*oli pr0n on the booru that got deleted, but I'm doubtful. You got it all wrong dude, it's obvious that the response was serious and it has nothing to do with the deleted loli porn from the booru (what would that have to do with the VN anyway?).
>also pic 1 is not from that VN it's another VN (or parody image) apparentlyYeah, I
think there's an actual screenshot that gets reposted sometimes here, it's the Alunya sprite with the Communist Party of China in the background, and she's saying something like "our mission is simple:(…)"
>>10783>the deleted loli porn from the booru (what would that have to do with the VN anyway?).Because the pr0n was specifically alunya and rdina sucking a POV dick
>the Alunya sprite with the Communist Party of China in the backgroundhmm familiar but I don't remember
>>10786>Because the pr0n was specifically alunya and rdina sucking a POV dick oh, well, in that case that's probably from the VN, yes
It's just that there was so much stuff that was deleted and I didn't know about that pic

Can't believe this is touted as the best VN of all time
>>11063Otome is the future of romance games
Meanwhile Tokimeki Memorial has never been fully translated lol (not that I'm happy with that, I would like to play those ones as well)
>>11064I think otome games are basically the present of romance games already tbh, they're very popular while bishoujo stuff only seems to get more and more niche (well, in the West, at least).
Although the reason TM 1 and 2 have never been translated is mostly that they have absolutely brutal code (at least according to people who have attempted translations), which is common for a lot of Konami games from around that time. Not so much a lack of interest. I still think 1 and 4 might get fan translations some day, but 2 seems like it's too big to be worth the effort.
>>11063Also, I was losing hope in whether they would release a new game. When I saw the announcement, I couldn't believe it (the last main game was released in 2010, TokiRes was 2013). And just as I expected, a year or so later they revealed that it would be on the Switch.
Last year there would've been an event (after years of not doing it IIRC) called Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side DAYS. They only did these yearly events about 3 times before, and released DVDs of said events. Basically, besides the voice actor stuff and the merch, the main attraction is a series of special in-game dates on a massive screen, where all the attendees get to vote on the choices from their seats, and the boys that are featured are also chosen by fans beforehand (I think they try to do different characters each year, so the most popular ones already appeared in the first couple DAYS events).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmH89ctnbwIhttps://greenfirefist.tumblr.com/post/92330006968https://tokimemogirlsside.fandom.com/wiki/Tokimeki_Memorial_Girl%27s_Side_DAYSLast year's DAYS event had to be postponed due to COVID and it finally happened this year in June. The theme was sports festival. Since no one seems to be uploading the DVDs online, I guess I'll have to import them myself someday if I want to know what else happens in them.
I like this franchise so much that I tried to archive as much of the other games' official websites as possible. Unfortunately, many things were impossible to archive because they used Flash a lot for those sites.
This is the animated opening. Every game has had one, although 3's OP was included not in any version of the game like the others, but in a bonus DVD (which is bullshit). Anyway, I don't know if it's just me, but compare this new OP to the other 3, and you can see the animation is lower quality (somewhat inconsistent drawings, sometimes it doesn't match the in-game artstyle, etc., it kinda gives me a Pokémon Sun and Moon vibe).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNaDDFsTqTkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OHYuDduZVMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZkUOWVdQbkThe artstyle in the game is also inferior to the previous games IMO. I don't know what the hell happened, it's supposed to be the same artist in every game.
>>11065>I think otome games are basically the present of romance games already tbhI guess you're right. A lot of recent otome visual novels are getting translated. Unfortunately that also means that most otome fans have never even heard of games like TMGS that are more like actual games. The dating simulator genre might be dead. It's a shame, really, I think "stat-raisers" are fun.
>they're very popular while bishoujo stuff only seems to get more and more niche (well, in the West, at least).Actually, I think it's becoming more well-known but as nothing more than a punchline and cheap fap material on Steam. Serious galge is probably becoming more niche though.
Also I was wrong, there
is a recent Tokimeki Memorial game, but it's a mobage spin-off called Tokimeki Idol. That sucks.
>Although the reason TM 1 and 2 have never been translated is mostly that they have absolutely brutal codeOh yeah, that's right. 4 should be easy to hack and translate, I read somewhere that PSP games were easier to mess with. Also, it's not literally TM but Love Plus for the DS is said to be pretty good and it has a fan translation (it appears that the TMGS1 translator helped with that project too).
There will be a Sweet Pool stage play… wtf
https://www.gorch-brothers.jp/sweetpool_stagehttps://www.gorch-brothers.jp/sweetpool_stageI don't know if any of you are familiar with this VN
>>11121ok anon
IT'S OUTTIME TO INSTALL YUZUhttps://moeblob.wordpress.com/2013/07/28/gakuen-handsome-translation-mitsurugi-sakuya/Here's a translation of one of Gakuen Handome's routes. I've always wanted to read this VN, it should be easy to read with an above-basic level of Japanese, but I've been lazy to pirate it, and people usually tell you to just buy it on DLsite since it's cheap. It shouldn't be difficult to translate… so it surprises me that no one has tried to make a TL patch for it.
>>11183I don't think these are from any VN. I might be wrong but if so then please tell me what VN these were made for.
>>11198>Some characters are Touhou if that helps.I know that, I posted some of this artist's animations in the femdom thread on /siberia/.
From what I can see, they're not from any visual novel.
>>10755>Can you give us a quick rundown at least? Sounds interesting, especially coming from /jp/ of all placesAfter searching for fucking 2 hours in the archives I found them…..holy shit.
Prepare to be horrified.
https://warosu.org/jp/thread/S2638121#p2638121https://warosu.org/jp/thread/S2642768#p2642768Also the whole thing is a bit outdated since Makoto actually fucked his own mother and adult Kokoro in later games, also he fucked traps >>11222First, why do you want to know? Does it matter?
Second, it's not shitty, TMGS is one of the best otome game series of all time. High production value too.
>>11223Make one yourself
>>11224Wow, thank you friend.
>>11226Not a weeb so can you explain the mistake they made? I'm not very good at Hirigana and Katakana.
>>11225 >Make one yourself They're asking for an existing Rodina/Alunya VN (or formerly existing one).
>>11222 keked and checked
>>112244chan was such a different place in 2009. Lame image caption memes and someone actually getting shat on for being homophobic, lol.
>Your goal is to stop him from fucking all the other girls in the game, one of whom is a rich girl he plans to seduce and marry for money, and instead get him to settle down with you so you can raise your child together with him.>The name of the love of your life is Tomaru.>Also, he's your father.>Your mother is one of your competitors. (Your mother is also his half-sister.)>Ten years later or so, your first daughter will die in childbirth.That's the shit right there man
>>11229>Not a weeb so can you explain the mistake they made? I'm not very good at Hirigana and Katakana. That's kanji actually, but basically, the most common pronoun in VN titles like this one is either "boku" 僕 or "ore" 俺, both masculine pronouns. Not VNs but look at the difference between the popular series "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" and "Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui". "Watashi" 私 is a more neutral pronoun and in informal speech it can also come off as feminine; it's also the first pronoun you're taught in Japanese as a Second Language, the "default" pronoun. That's what makes it so obvious that whoever came up with the Japanese title or the logo used Google Translate.
As for VN examples, look at these lists, you'll notice that most if not all of the "watashi no" titles are "said" from a female's point of view, as opposed to the "boku no" or "ore no" ones.
https://vndb.org/v?q=%22watashi+no%22&ch=&f=https://vndb.org/v?q=%22boku+no%22&ch=&f=https://vndb.org/v?q=%22ore+no%22&ch=&f=>They're asking for an existing Rodina/Alunya VN (or formerly existing one). I know that, I meant that it's probably already lost forever so it would be better to make it again oneself instead of just asking for the original over and over. Also, I want encourage more people to make their own stuff.
>keked…What was so funny about it?
>>11230It gets worse the more you read, like the part where
Tomaru fucks 2 Lolis, throws some jokes before he impregnates both and one dies during childbirth because her body wasn't ready for a babyAnd it got even worse with the rock, paper, scissors games where
Makoto fucks his mom a la Chrischan Also, remember Taisuke? The dumb retard that raped Kotonoha in School Days? Well in one game it's revealed that
The boyfriend of his sister (Kei) raped him anally (Yes for real) thinking that Taisuke was actually his gf Miki (Taisuke's sister) that's why he acts the way he does in SD.
https://overflow.fandom.com/wiki/Pleasure_BoxIt's all very very fucked up, there's a lot of extra info on that wiki including some translated bits of the important shit in the gallery pages of each game.
It's kind of a shame that this horrible story won't have an ending considering that 0verflow is a zombie company now milking their old games over and over again.
>>11231>That's kanji actually Thanks for clarifying.
>I want encourage more people to make their own stuff. Yeah that's good
>What was so funny It just seemed like a funny call out and under such trips.
Panzermadels: Tank Dating Simulator is a VN style Steam game; A meme charged, politically incorrect, parody VN telling a story of a simple man daring to 'ride' a tank and give the terms "ammo racking", "riding tanks", "A.P shell penetration" a new meaning. Honestly I'd like to see a parody crossover with kancolle and/or Pravda group from Girls und Panzer (thread related
>>351 ). It's also hilarious that it cost 9 dollars to play.

https://archive.ph/eOiS3 Article on it
https://archive.ph/dy2Z7>>11507A bancho is a leader of school delinquents.
it's supposed to be sukeban for girls (litterally girlboss) but it's not used that much.
>>11488no.
go back to /get/
So I will bump with a little review of the part I've played so far of pic related (english ver)
It's not the first time I played this, I tried to play it last year when I was still trying to learn Japanese but I never finished it or even got too far from what I remember, still playing it again it's quite a bit worse than I imagined or remembered, the mystery is not really interesting at all, it's another "demons and shiet are among humans and interact with them" story (except with a bit of police/mystery drama) the characters are average and not really charismatic, and the first sex scene is way too early, that and by judging by the main girl clothes actually the ONLY girl because you can only fuck her (Anneliese) in the entire game you would probably think this is some low quality generic nukige when it's a bit more than that.
Then there's E-mote, it's not the first E-mote game I play and it's decent enough here during normal game, yet I think there are way better implementations of it, so the quality seems to vary a lot between games (in fact due to the nature of the game only one character uses it here) maybe they charge per character and not per game and they wanted to save money, who knows? But as almost always it gets very ugly during sex scenes, the E-mote shit looks quite bad in sex scenes and it's not exclusive to this game (but I noticed it particularly here) it looks like they're just stretching and shrinking a lewd image and the result is poor and awkward, I would rather have static images.
So far the game is quite mediocre, and fails to catch my attention from the beginning (complete opposite to what happened in games like Cartagra or Swan song with good mystery plots that got my attention immediately) I will keep playing it because I've heard good things about the later part of the game when you start exploring the past and personalities of the different "angels" that wander around the cursed department but from what I remember the personalities themselves are still mediocre at first glance, specially when they consist of typical lolibait with pantsu (but weirdly no sex) a Japanese nun stereotype and an angel obsessed with growing weed for some reason? I will continue the review after I play more or finish it.
Still I can clearly see why a lot of eroge companies went bankrupt during the last decade and the few ones that didn't are trying to keep alive with that DMM subscription shit that is basically a Netflix for eroge, paying $70-80 (the average price of eroge in Japan) for games like these is an absolute rip-off and not worth it at all, In fact I would say that except in the games released by already well respected companies (Key, Nitro+, Innocent Gray etc) you're much more likely to be dissapointed by a newly released game instead of satisfied, it only took Otakus like 30 years to realize that the majority of lolibait waifu ero-games are an absolute scam, who would have imagined?
>>12086Anon just make it yourself, jesus
I'm also planning a couple of dating sims on Ren'Py
>>13176Why the fuck is this lolishit anime on YouTube
And pedo defenders wil say that pedophilia isn't being normalized kek
>>132042D pedoshit is completely normalized in Japan. You can talk about how you want to diddle little kids in public and people will just assume you're talking about 2D even if you don't explicitly mention that shit.
Not to mention how uderaged gravure and idols are still a thing.
>>13305The entire eroge industry is dying, a lot of companies have died in the last 10 years and the ones left don't make as much money as before.
Serves them right for trying to sell powerpoint presentations for $80-100, now they're trying to fix that coming up with a subscription service by DMM that is pretty much a Netflix for porn games.
>>12089It's ok, but very long, also it's the closest thing you will find to militaristic/revisionist propaganda in eroge.
But hey the USSR appears at least!
Sucker for Love is pretty cute and fun, but also massively cringe, fucking makes me cackle, especially at the thought of H.P. Lovecraft's reaction to the dating sim.
Also Lovercraft thread
>>>/hobby/6750>>13337Yeah, not only are ironic VNs extremely trite, "what if Cthulhu was put in a silly situation??" is probably even moreso.
Reading a little about it, it seems to have some decent ideas which it takes somewhat seriously –
pursuing a genuine romance with a monster who is dead set on destroying your universe is at least a _potentially_ interesting premise – but it's dampened by the fact that it's dressed up in so much irony and uses the "starts out as a silly moege but turns dark" trope which isn't as novel as Western devs seem to think.
So I dunno, it could be good, but every potentially appealing thing about it just makes me wish it was in a game that isn't about having sex with Cthullu in a wig.
>>13340It could be good but the author was too afraid to actually take his
own work seriously so this is all we'll get. Many such cases!
Dōkyūsei, arguably the first dating sim, is finally getting a translation into English, albeit without the charming old graphics. It comes out on March 11th.
https://twitter.com/shiravune/status/1494477499807727618I have no idea if it's genuinely good, but it's a (small) piece of video game history, anyway.
>>13377Remake is based on 1999 Windows version, not 1992 PC98 version:
>Kurumi is 17 and MC's kouhai(in 1992 ver. she's 18 and they're in same year)>Miho's H-scene doesn't happen because she's asleep before it starts(in 1992 ver. they have sex and scene hints at her manipulative cute personality)>Mako and MC don't have sex she just hugs him like a mother(in 1992 ver. she has sex with him to release her sexual frustration because she had no man)>MC is not attracted to sensei when she's semi-naked in front of him(in 1992 ver. he is lustful towards her and feels guilty because she was almost raped scene before)>Satomi is a virgin and she stops you mid sex because it hurts(in 1992 ver. her ex-bf already fucked her and you get full H-scene with her)>Chiharu sex scene is about love(in 1992 ver. it's treated like one night stand)>You don't have sex with Hiromi(in 1992 ver. you fuck her)>Natsuko H-scene changed to have mommy fetish>Kaori's(prostitute heroine) Epilogue has NTR(in 1992 ver. her epilogue is brief and just says that you're dating her)This is what you are getting, eop-kun
>>13398>>Kaori's(prostitute heroine) Epilogue has NTR(in 1992 ver. her epilogue is brief and just says that you're dating her)So did they add or remove NTR?
>>13392>>13399A bigger issue is that even things like a female character not being a virgin is considered NTR by certain otaku these days.
>>14328so you dont dislike corporate censorship

>>13337It's not very ironic actually, it comes off as a waifu simulator and plunges into eldritch territory rapidly.
>>13340>"what if Cthulhu was put in a silly situation??" Except it isn't really? It's more Cthulhu entertaining itself by playing with a human a la a summoned succubus queen.
https://bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/3699825/sucker-love-review/ >>21133Ok, I'll bite on what I remember
The descriptions for food says that soy makes your dick shrink
You get visited by two cops who are there to investigate if there are any hate crimes in the area, later when you actually need the police they will take 12 hours on the phone to show up
The worst offenders are the news headlines which are borderline polshit, tons of caricatures that they like to make, I can't think of any specific examples now but it was a bunch of shit, I remember there was some transphobic stuff and some anti Semitic stuff
It's clearly much more inspired by schizo 'eat ze bugs' type thought than any coherent ideology
>>21134>The descriptions for food says that soy makes your dick shrink In-game mechanic based on a meme that's spread across the internet. It's not reactionary either, since it's not a reaction to a social liberalization
>You get visited by two cops who are there to investigate if there are any hate crimes in the area > later when you actually need the police they will take 12 hours on the phone to show upAgain, not reactionary, and frankly a good depiction of neoliberalism - posturing for the sake of identity politics, but no actual genuine help. A lot of police are like that here in Burgerland today
>the news headlines which are borderline polshit And if you can't tell they're very satirical, literal Robocop tier propaganda that's blatantly obvious for a reason. This also isn't reactionary by the definition of reactionary.
>tons of caricatures that they like to make It's a dystopian VN where everyone is some sort of miserable asshole, including the player character, the player is a caricature of a NEET, the landlord is a caricature of a typical slumlord, others are walking story tropes, and blatantly self-aware tropes at that.
>some transphobic stuff and some anti Semitic stuff I don't recall any of that, and I've played through 2 different routes.
>inspired by schizo 'eat ze bugs' type thought than any coherent ideologyI mean it's a cyberpunk dystopia world, that's kinda the point, and moreover we see it from the Point of View of a character born and raised in this world, their behavioral options make sense -
Man is the product of his environment, and of conditions; he cannot therefore be free in the choice of his profession, he cannot be the maker of his own happiness. Frankly speaking I've seen a lot more actually reactionary and fucked up shit in actual Japanese VNs.
>>21138> absolutely a reaction to the "pussy liberals want to take away your hamburgers and force you to eat veggies" That's… that's not how that works… at all. You do realize that it's just a new bout of the old "veganism vs meat" shit that's been going on for a better half of the 20th century, long before the internet. The soy meme isn't even that new either, since it's a callback to Soylent Green.
Also prole-pods and soy is just a memed version of the actual dehumanizing liberal bullshit that entitled upper-class first-worlders push.
>>21139 Unironically yes. Which in itself is ironic, considering they also commit hate crimes lol.
>>21148Fuck off nerd, go sell that to the ecofascists.
Tell them being manly is left wing while you're at it.
>>21148>Eating meat is a cultural signifier for the right Utter Westernoid nonsense.
>being a big manly man Have you seen Soviet motivational posters for keeping fit? Not being a machoistic asshole =/= not being manly, retard.
>elites are coming for their meat <narrative <"noooo porky would never try to manipulate the average proletarian to be ignorant and stupid and to just accept the shit they're given or told to consume!" >weird castration anxiety<Please believe us guyz, forget about all those experiments we did on people trying to fuck up their minds and bodies to suit our needs, this CIA op-*cough* I mean our alternative food science is totally an organic, eco-friendly organization and not a thinly veiled attempt at forcing people to consume what their corporate overlords give them! YOU VILL EET ZE BUGS SCHWEINHUNDE!
I am by no means some schizo carnivore, I've never complained about eating vegetables, hell I like them, it's a normal thing outside of burgerland. But veganism, soy-mania and other nonsense about replacing meat is blatant First-World bullshit meant to distract from corporations creating the majority of world carbon emissions, (not fucking cow farts) and other corporate awfulness in the food business. Has everyone forgotten how Nestle pushed artificial milk in Africa?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Nestl%C3%A9_boycott?useskin=vector >such as not torturing animals Moralistic bullshit. Meat sourcing can be done ethically and there are methods of painless killing, which are usually used to begin with. Meat is necessary for proper development of the brain and body. Part of the reason human brains developed is because of the consumption of meat by early hominids. Humans are omnivores for a reason, unlike most primates, or most Carnivora. It also is important for development of testosterone in men, which is important for puberty

I am a third poster,
>>21146 is the guy that posted about Dystopian robo GF VN, and
>>21151 >>21149 are another person entirely as well. So you have 3 people disagreeing with you.
Funny pic tho lol.
I personally didn't have a problem with these "reactionary themes" because they're neither reactionary nor right-wing - it's a satirical Cyberpunk DYSTOPIA, that fact is fucking blatant as all hell. This is like saying Judge Dredd is reactionary because the main character is a cop, or that it features various fucked up things.
>>21728PS
At least you still have Tales of Androgyny
>>22041Decline would imply KS isn't a massive outlier. And even in that project, there are only two really good paths (one imho).
And what other projects of note have even sprung from 4chan *as* 4chan projects? Ruby Quest? I feel like that has, rightfully, become more of a "Weaver" thing than a "4chan" thing.
>>22056The dismal genre you're referring to isn't even so much reacting to "Visual Novels" as they existed in the 90s, as dating sim flashes. That last one far more transgressive than anything that has come out of the more recent "critical" VNs.
>DDLCDon't forget that piece of shit got upset his hunk of garbage didn't get into a gallery.
>>22060What transphobia does to the mind.
>>22065My opinion is that everyone should be whatever they want and identify as but when I point out that that includes weird stuff like xenogenders, trasnracials whatever other weird bunch you get all mad
Look, i get the importance of optics and kinda hide under the rug these outliers like most trans do with detrans people but you either care about optics or you care about being consistent
if you care about optics enbies are going to suffer from erasure as well because most people I have met either don't care or are just friendly thowards them. They will not spend a single ounce of their day defending or supporting them. at best they will pay lip service and at worst they think is a determent to the transgender cause
I am not saying they are in the right but the amount of support snoot game has should make it clear how little support the enbie cause has with the general public
>>22069you sound like an american facebook page refugee boomer just like all neo-4channers these days
>the amount of support snoot game hasan obscure fotm on the nose satire of an already obscure game. you take yourself way too seriously
>>22071If you look up reviews in youtube you get nothing but good reviews about snoot game
Look, what I am getting at is:
Are common people and LGBTs who care about optics and alienate enbies and xenogenders and otherkins and whatever else transphobic?
That's the core of the issue
>>22069>My opinion is that everyone should be whatever they want and identify as but when I point out that that includes weird stuff like xenogenders, trasnracials whatever other weird bunch you get all mad I agree completely. You and I are also not alone on this, at least as far as this website goes.
>i get the importance of optics (…)Fuck optics. Be you, fight the world if you have to.
>the amount of support snoot game has Cishets (or however you want to divvy that up) don't look further than their noses are long. No shit. YOU can provide them with insight they can not intuit themselves.
Furthermore, there is no point in engaging with some dipshit who has closed themselves off from differing information. Hence, my responds to your posts.
My final advice to is this: it is better to have one comrade in the cadre, than a hundred libs in Parliament.
>>220751- As a group weird ass uyggas (lets say detrans, furries with weird ass animal dysphoria, xeno/transracial/whatever) do make a significant ammount of posts that are passed around right wing circles that are used to demoralize or point out how weird or silly the entire trans movement is.
2- Trans are still like what was it? 1.something percent of the population. Just because someone's number is low doesn't mean you get to disregard their emotions and be on the moral highground. this isn't a membership game
3- 100% not true. If you go to any pokemon/mlp/animal crossing/etc server there is like something like a rate of 1:10 people who unjokingly want to be mares or pokemon or whatever else and are hurt that they are not part of that. I know at least one /mlp/ anon that slit its wrists over it. They are common as fuck if you are part of those communities
>>22093I spend most of my day in leftoid element channels, hexbear, this place and youtube. Sometimes visiting /lgbt/
You can easily tell this is the current panorama of things because of algorithms and the news that trickle down to your feed
Leftism and pro-social justice content or whatever is way more niche in Youtube and the mannerisms of right wing shitposting has passed to the center/mostly uninterested with their mannerisms for a while now
If you want more concise numbers of the current panorama, you can just look at companies and layoffs related to branches that are used to keep on check that they are kept socially responsible and politically correct
>>22739>If it turns out to just be a shitty "Elite" remake then fuck youThey did announce they were working on Steins;Gate 0 ELITE, so there is a chance this might be it, although it could also be Steins;????
