Yuri Game Thread

from last thread:

Winter Wolves games are 50% off for Christmas:

Hanako Games is doing a christmas sale:

DLsite is running a bunch of older things at 50% off. A lot of what they tag yuri isn't, but it's still worth looking: http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/circle/profile/=/maker_id/RG07640.html

Steam Christmas sale isn't on yet but will be soon.

i think that's all the sale stuff

Highway Blossoms announced that they're doing an 18+ version which you'll probably have to buy separately.

Yeah, but the romance system sucks in it. Especially since no pawn romance.

>>1941649
>Everyone reacts exactly the same to you regardless of gender

These kinds of things always feel so cheap in games. Choice of Whatever games are especially riddled with this.

>>1941654
It is a cheap way out compared to unique stuff for both genders, but I prefer it that way to not bothering to have a playable female option at all or having a playable female option and only having hetero stuff available.

>>1941648
>opportunities

The game has a mandatory romance for endgame so if you play as a girl you're either gonna be straight or lesbian.

It will happen, regardless of whether or not you've been pursuing a waifu, so you might as well lock down some ladies you've been fancying.

And don't forget to draw your sword near male shopkeepers. Don't attack them, just tap the unsheathe/sheathe weapon to scare them so you cripple your relationship growth with them with them. Many an unfortunate player has been saddled with the homely middle aged male shopkeepers for a love interest.

This may be old news but Natsukon is making a new yuri VN called Natsuzora Astraythem, if any kind anon wants to translate the summary or give a vague idea of what it is i would be grateful

>Chantelise
It has been some time since I played it but I think it was pretty yuri friendly, the story was fairly light but there was some decent subtext and I enjoyed the gameplay.

>>1941654
Just tell yourself that these games are in fact designed for a lesbian MC and that they add cheap male MC and het options because otherwise people would complain. You won't even notice the difference.

>>1941722
Not really.
Through normal gameplay it's much, much easier to be paired with a girl than with a guy. Completing some sidequests will automatically max out your affinity with some girls making them potential partners right away. There's no equivalent with guys, and you'd need a conscious effort to be paired with them. As anon said the exception are shopkeepers, but only those you talk to a whole lot, because everytime you talk to someone it raises their affinity by a tiny little bit.

>>1941722
>I take everything to the extreme without no prior knowledge
It's the way the affection system works in the game.
There is such great surprise when it's "Masterworks All" since he's a shopkeeper and people tend to give him all their junk.

Yuritopia is now in beta testing.

>>1941690
The story description is super vague itself. I'm not gonna bother translating it fully, but it's essentially
>normal girls living in a normal town, going to a normal school, always surrounded by the same smiles, a usual summer, but this time it's little different

>>1941656
Yes indeed. Back then, nobody will even give you the chance to play a female protag, much less one with the flexibility to be a lesbian. Now, games give the choice to play a female and lesbian, without blocking out hets or guys, but people are calling it cheap. This is logic I will never understand. Only nitpickers and SJWs are complaining about uniqueness and reaction. The rest are just happily role-playing a female protag. And complains are funny. You want a female to be equivalent to a male, hold guns and weld magic. Then you want people to react differently to her achievements and gender. Real stupid.

This happened to me and it was so funny I didn't even care. I'd maxxed him out trying to get discounts, and lo and behold one of the funniest ending sequences I've ever seen.

Are those winterwolves rpgs any good?

>>1942144
Playable and not horrible at least, though I don't think anyone seeks them out just because they're good RPGs. Most people seem to think Loren is more fun overall because of the VN mix, Seasons of the Wolf is more RPG-heavy and less plot.

I am waiting for a sale due to the english version not having the VO. Also because of poverty. It looks interesting though and there is a pretty decent amount of yuri art out there for it since it has been out for so long in japan and is seems to be fairly yuri relevant.

>>1942160
It was mentioned in the previous thread. I was in the process of playing it through to see if it was worth playing it for yuri alone. It isn't partly because Summon Night series isn't plot heavy to begin with, but it's worth it for the TRPG experience with a healthy side of yuri. 5 isn't as bad as 4 in terms of difficulty, but it isn't easy.

I don't know if anyone will do the work necessary to put the voices back in, but it's really a shame they couldn't license the VO. I'm playing the Japanese copy and having Yuno...I mean, Spinel follow you around being incredibly possessive of you is adorable.

What on earth is going on with /u/ today? Someone decided we needed a thread flushout before new years?

Anyway - recommendations from the Steam sale?

>>1941850
>You want a female to be equivalent to a male, hold guns and weld magic. Then you want people to react differently to her achievements and gender. Real stupid.
I don't see how it's stupid. Look at P3P, for example. Male and female MCs have different social links, somewhat different dialogues, and yet playing as the female protagonist doesn't give off a feeling that NPCs treat you inadequately compared to the male protagonist. Just different to the point where you don't feel like you're playing the same campaign just with a swapped avatar.
Admittedly, some changes are annoying (like Aegis's "Girls can't love robots" dilemma), but still.

>>1942851
>Aegis's "Girls can't love robots" dilemma
I really like that. It wasn't turned into a huge deal and it's something she likely would have to think about. Besides, it establishes the Aegis route as clearly romantic.

>>1942160
>Noones discussing summon night 5? 4 female love interest and not a single discuss? /u/ dropping the ball here
Not out on eu PSN til febuary.

>>1942851
I can't speak for anon but the problem isn't when the male/het and female/yuri versions are different. That's all good - except if the female/yuri version get nuked down to the point where it's barely subtext anymore, but that's another discussion. The problem is when a single gender neutral version results in the female/yuri side getting dismissed as cheap. As if there's this underlying assumption that gender neutral equals male/het, and that female/yuri must differentiate itself to be legit.

>>1943002
Gender neutral is boring and cheap.

>>1943002
>As if there's this underlying assumption that gender neutral equals male/het, and that female/yuri must differentiate itself to be legit.
Well, part of the problem is that that's true, in terms of game writing. There's a long history of female protagonists being such afterthoughts that the dialog may not even consistently remember to call them female, and of us getting 'yuri' options only because the writers designed everything around a heterosexual male and therefore the female protagonist in all cutscenes checks out the hot babes and treats the men as bros.

I don't think gender-neutral character arcs are always a bad thing. In some cases it really shouldn't make much difference. It's nice to feel personally catered to but it shouldn't always be necessary, and treating gender as irrelevant means getting a lot more options than if you only get to date the one lesbian character. However, that history of distrust vs game writers makes a lot of people cranky.

>>1943079
>therefore the female protagonist in all cutscenes checks out the hot babes and treats the men as bros.

But I like that.

>>1943081

It fits only on a per character basis I think, not for every girl in a yuri story.

>>1943051
He was great too, there were so many posts about him japing dudes on /vg/ back when the affection system was still being worked out.

>>1941810
>There's no equivalent with guys

There is that sidequest where you have to find evidence to either convict or prove the innocence of Fournival. That can make his affection rating skyrocket, especially if you've been buying stuff from him.

is there such thing like mega man legends but with lesbians?

>>1943079
>the female protagonist in all cutscenes checks out the hot babes
Yet if it happened in a game with a fixed FeMC we'd be all over it, more than happy to finally have an unambiguous lesbian MC. Why would having a MaleMC option devalue the yuri we get with the FeMC, even if said yuri is nothing more than the result of the devs' lazyness? I would draw the line at games that don't bother to change the pronouns, or that just allow you to swap in-game models but cutscenes/CGs still feature the default male.

>>1943132
>Why would having a MaleMC option devalue the yuri we get with the FeMC, even if said yuri is nothing more than the result of the devs' lazyness?
Having a male MC option does not devalue the feMC. Having the yuri be so much the result of lazyness that it's officially considered a bug they couldn't be bothered to fix pretty literally devalues it.

As I said, I don't think gender-neutral protag writing is always bad, I have no problem with a space marine having the same walk and attitude regardless of gender, though if there's no plot reason for it I may be skeptical of the options being only hetmale/gayfemale.

>>1943116
Not that I know of, but now I wish there was.

Is there a yuri card game?

If not, there's something that needs to exist.

Do you think you have to have experienced sex to be able to write it tastefully/realistically? I want to create my own /u/ game but I'm a virgin in all areas, all I'd be going off of are my fantasies and porn. I don't want to end up writing nasu tier sex scenes.

>write it tastefully/realistically

Any asshole can write about shit happening in the general vicinity of vaginas. What's difficult is not falling into indulgent pitfalls.

The obvious and most important is don't act like a fanfiction writer and go apeshit with metaphors and euphemisms. On the opposite end of things, try not to be too clinical.

If you're just writing a fucking porn game I don't think anybody'll blink if it's a little goofy considering everybody's just there for the pictures.

But if you're making a more serious title, sex is okay but you have to be careful you're not just getting overeager with describing things that turn you on. It's important to consider the perspective and both(all?) participants' behavior. It's not about the sex itself, it's about the characters having the sex. It's a threshold, a culmination of emotions and development. Plus there's only so much you can write about even if you've got two girls having the other's head locked between their thighs, kissing the other's hidden flowers to euphoria. so to speak.

Yuri tends to be a little easier because for obvious reasons you don't have to think up how to describe penises and things you do with penises. On the other hand, your audience might be a little more expectant of girls to do something more than lie there, squeal and spout cheese words of worship at the self-insert.

Finally, write some shit about rimjobs, that's seriously underrepresented.

>>1942695
Who the fuck knows.

Also seconding a desire for recommendations.

>>1944665
So she can make girls pregnant!? As expected of Yurika-sama.

>>1944676
Speaking of yuri writing and SonoHana, I remember a scene in the first game that metioned pubes.

Yuuna is crazy.

>>1944681
I've seen several eroge that talk about pubic hair, while the pictures all show the girls clean shaven.
Chalk it up to Japan's sexual quirks.

>>1944668
How would the gameplay of such a game even work? Would it be a competitive game (players compete for a single girl) or a cooperative game (players try to get their characters together)? So many questions. So many design decisions.

>>1944681
If it's the discrepancy between the pubes being mentioned in the text but not visible, that's pretty normal in eroge. An art style where the pubes aren't drawn isn't necessarily a sign they don't exist.

This is the most illogical thing I have ever heard about porn VNs.
If you have the pubes in the dialogue, draw them on CGs. If you don't have pubes in CGs, don't mention them in the dialogue. Why the hell would you invent "invisible but existing" pubes?

Recommendation: avoid Steam till shit gets sorted

>>1944696
shit got sorted about a half hour ago. According to Valve's twitter.

>>1944695
It's probably a lack of coordination between artists and writes.
They probably send them an email going "we need these scenes drawn within the next two months", so the guy just sends them and they're good enough that they don't want to make him draw pubes on them.

Of the couple other Sonohana entries I've read, none of them mentioned pubes, so it was probably just a first time thing. Just like with Yuuna's piss drinking.

>>1944699
Pretty sure Yuuna's piss drinking is in the 6th game too.

>>1944699
>piss drinking.
What?

I guess piss drinking can be a card for the card game.

>>1944695
It's not really a problem. Ero gamers are generally used to the art not being entirely literal. The absence of drawn pubes is just kind of a stylistic thing as pubes don't really seem to work great in the art style and so people are used to not having them and accept that. Some games do have drawn pubes and some people prefer that, but not drawing is probably the safer way to go.

>>1944705
Yuuna's attempted uriposia is pretty much the only thing resembling a meme within the SonoHana fandom.

>>1944707
Then why mention them? People who like pubic hair would probably prefer to see it on CGs rather than just read about them. People who don't like pubic hair wouldn't care if it's mentioned at all.

As I recall, Nanami knocks Yuuna's cupped, piss-filled hands right before she can manage to get a taste.

>>1944712
For the most part they aren't mentioned because there's no big reason to, but it's really not a problem if they sometimes are. Even if the trend is to not represent them in art, that doesn't mean the preference is to think they don't exist.

>>1944689
There are "event" cards like the

>hitting head seeing senpai
>traveling abroad to get married

It's like Cards Against Humanity, but with lesbians.

>>1944695
> Why the hell would you invent "invisible but existing" pubes?
do you think the character in your linked image actually has no nose?

Pubes tend to look dumb drawn in the sort of blocky cell-shaded style of anime hair. They exist in a few VNs, but people usually find them dumb rather than sexy. I've seen art that tried to draw soft fluffy hair down there but then people complained that it didn't match the head-hair style.

>>1944724
>do you think the character in your linked image actually has no nose?
No, because that character is drawn in a simplistic way to show a particular emotion. In other scenes she has a nose.

And did you really compare noses, that are hard to make distinguishable in a generic anime style due to a general lack of shadowing on the face, plain colors and simplified lines, to (pubic) hair? Might as well draw characters bald then.

>>1944676
>It was... extremely painful
Poor BaneMiya.

>>1944720
Cards against humanity already exists though, and it's trivial to make a custom set for Pretend You're Xyzzy.

>>1944725
Artists have developed stylized ways of representing haircuts that people like, but they don't carry across well to drawing pubes. Even the games that do have drawn pubes mostly draw them in a completely different way.

>>1944735
The style doesn't matter, though, as long as they're visible. Otherwise there is no point in mentioning them in the first place.

>written in the sky
Well that was the funniest half-hourish of reading I've had in awhile. Sex scene was meh but the whole thing was free.

>>1944736
>The style doesn't matter, though, as long as they're visible.
How good the result of the art is matters more than the art style being literal.

>Otherwise there is no point in mentioning them in the first place.
That does not follow. Just because the art style doesn't include pubes doesn't mean there's never any point in mentioning them and leaving it the reader's imagination.

>>1944742
>How good the result of the art is matters more than the art style being literal.
Hundreds of artists draw pubes on their character. I can't imagine it being so harmful to the overall art-style that VN artists refuse to draw them completely.

>Just because the art style doesn't include pubes doesn't mean there's never any point in mentioning them and leaving it the reader's imagination.
>imagination
There is no room for imagination. If something as obvious and generally quite visible isn't drawn, that means it doesn't exist on the character. Do you imagine horns when you see hornless characters? Do you imagine big breasts on a flat-chested girl or vice-versa? Do you imagine tattoos on a person with a clean, inkless skin? Do you imagine hair on a bald person?
Mentioning it only creates the discrepancy between the CG and the narration. Which doesn't really matter, true, since most people don't actually read the narration in porn VNs, but then why mention the pubes at all if you aren't going to cater to people who like pubic hair?

>>1944747
>I can't imagine it being so harmful to the overall art-style that VN artists refuse to draw them completely.
Look for some of the VNs that actually draw them, and read the complaints about it. You don't need to use your imagination.

>>1944747
>Hundreds of artists draw pubes on their character. I can't imagine it being so harmful to the overall art-style that VN artists refuse to draw them completely.
Have you not seen examples of eroge with pubes? It shouldn't really be hard to imagine artists thinking they're better off without them.
>There is no room for imagination.
There is. Even if you can't get your head around it, accept that other people can.
>If something as obvious and generally quite visible isn't drawn, that means it doesn't exist on the character.
You may believe that ought to be true, but it is not an assumption eroge writers and artists operate under.
>Do you imagine horns when you see hornless characters?
>Do you imagine tattoos on a person with a clean, inkless skin?
Potentially. There are times when discrepancies between narrative and art assets are that large. Sometimes it's disconcerting and when it's an issue of quantity of art assets it's a shame, but with pubes it's a different kind of issue and I'm used to not assuming they literally don't exist.
>Do you imagine big breasts on a flat-chested girl or vice-versa?
Well, another thing I'm used to understanding the intent of is that it's common that the size of breasts in a game's character design style is larger than realistic, such that characters who have canonically very small breasts often actually look pretty well endowed, especially for Japanese girls.
>but then why mention the pubes at all if you aren't going to cater to people who like pubic hair?
A writer can still understand the appeal of pubes and feed the reader's imagination even if they're working on a game where the art style doesn't include them. Eroge sex scenes actually rely heavily on the imagination being fed by the writing anyway as most of what's going on is not represented in the art (and, yes, actually people do pay attention and they're who writers are writing for).

>>1944747
>There is no room for imagination. If something as obvious and generally quite visible isn't drawn, that means it doesn't exist on the character.

Do you also think that all anime characters literally have blue or yellow or whatever hair color, and eyesockets you could drive a train through, or do you accept that the stylised depiction is not meant to be taken as 100% literal?

Terrible 3+ player yuri card game idea:

Each player starts with 6 girls. To win, they must pair them all up with the girls of other players and have all relationships be stable. All relationships have 3 values: Friendship, Love and Lust. For the relationship to be stable the Friendship, Love and Lust score of the relationship must meet or exceed values stated on both of the girls cards (note that in some cases these values may be zero).

Relationships can be formed by certain event cards, and then the values can be improved or damaged by other event cards. The player forming the relationship can pick any unpaired girl of another player, and that other player cannot prevent it. Anyone can play an action card on an existing relationship regardless of whether any of their girls are involved in it.

Event cards have a category. Every girl has a liked and hated category. Event cards in a liked category cannot reduce the values of her relationship. Event cards in a hated category cannot improve the values of her relationship.

Certain event cards give one of the characters in a relationship money. This money can only be used by the owner of that character to use gift cards (which are essentially more powerful events).

A relationship is broken by having any value drop below zero, which returns the characters to being unpaired. Relationships can also be broken by card effects.

>>1944791
In my mind, this should result in some entertaining systems where half the time you are forced to work with a player and half the time you are trying to sabotage their relationships because they are forming them with another player.

>>1944791
Now that's something I could get behind. Characters could be archetypes seen typically in yuri manga. Like rich oujou-sama or level-headed childhood friend.

>>1944791
Well well well, finally something good and original in this thread.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already (skimmed this thread + last one and didn't see anything) but there's a short yuri catgirl VN coming out on Steam in a week and a bit: http://store.steampowered.com/app/429580/

>>1944819
That pool

If I write proper full game rules and make a template for Magic Set Editor (i've done that before) it should be pretty easy to make your own sets of cards, including the girls. Then you could adapt the game to various settings!

The raw mechanism of the game will likely be play 1 card discard up to 2 then draw back to a full hand of 5, but you can play extra gift cards provided you have enough money. Something along those lines. Central card pool is shared. Its not a ccg, you just have access to every card.

Making it a ccg is possible but you'd need to increase rule complexity so that every card has some cost associated with it to permit cards of different power to be balanced. Its fine to have moderate unbalance with a shared deck; not so with a ccg.

Does anyone know what happened to Saint Bomber?

I remembered he posted on a thread a while ago and released a couple of demos which were pretty good, but since the thread died I have not heard anything.

I accept that that hair color is natural in their world. It's easier than trying to trick myself into thinking that green is actually brunette, and blue is actually brunette, and purple is actually brunette, and Japanese don't actually have a lot of variety in their hair color, do they.

>stylized depiction
I see you missed the point of "obvious and generally quite visible".

>>1944770
>Have you not seen examples of eroge with pubes?
I have. Unless the artist is completely awful at what they're doing, pubic hair doesn't look out of place.

>as most of what's going on is not represented in the art
Characters' appearances are supposed to be represented in the art. Kind of one of the major points of having art in the first place.

>actually people do pay attention and they're who writers are writing for
I'd reckon that during H-scenes, people rely mostly on sound, CGs and a general depiction of what's going on (though, obviously, I don't have any statistics to support my guess). As in, a narration of what's going on without extra details. Hard to pay attention to details with one hand shoved down your pants, unless the game puts most of its effort in writing or the appeal of erotic content relies on dialogues/narration (see text games or early custom RPG campaigns).
Even if you assume that most people do read text during H-scenes, a brief off-handed comment about pubic hair probably won't satisfy players who are looking for pubic hair in their eroge, so I ask again - what's the point?

If I could ask for a Christmas miracle, it would be for a 2d sprite based action yuri game, or something like Angel Girl with all women.

Dropping the like-dislike mechanic on every character because it's inflexible. Cards will still have categories that can be referenced by effects.

Name: First Kiss
Category: Kiss
Friendship 0 Romance +4 Lust 0
Effect: You may only play this card on a relationship which does not yet have any Kiss cards.
Flavour text: -Blah-

Something like that.

If I make this a fixed deck game then that's all a card needs. If I make it a TCG instead then I need some cost mechanic to playing powerful cards. Perhaps giving players Friendship, Romance and Lust tokens that certain cards then require to be used? The above card can then be adjusted as follows:

Name: First Kiss
Category: Kiss
Friendship 0 Romance +3 Lust 0
Effect: You may only play this card on a relationship which does not yet have any Kiss cards.
When you play this card, you gain a Romance token.
Flavour text: -Blah-

I don't know. The difficulty of making a TCG is much higher because you actually have to closely balance cards and avoid accidentally permitting some overpowered deck design.

The third option is a "Living Card Game" where you don't buy boosters, you just get all the cards in a set. Game design for this is basically the same as a TCG though.

There are two things I need to do first.

1. Make the Magic Set Editor template such that producing these cards is trivial

2. Write proper rules

>>1945364
I don't know about using existing characters. Also, readability suffers a little when the background has black in it.

>>1945380
Once I have the Magic Set Editor template and rules, you can make your own sets. This means you can use existing characters or make original characters.

Once I do actually get working on a full demonstration set I won't use existing characters. I just needed an example card to test transparency and happened to have this CG lying around.

Yes, the readability suffers when the background has black in it. I need to change the grey semi-transparent boxes to a lighter grey.

Flowers, probably.

Had to do something weird with the masking to allow you to load images.

Technical explanation: Both the card template and the card image occupy the full card space. The card template needs to be at a higher z level than the card image (transparency, remember). However this leaves you unable to select an image because the template is in the way.

Masking to the rescue.

They can put them into a relationship using a relationship card. There are no fixed pairings (i.e no card forces you to only pair 2 characters together) because that can produce an unwinnable game.

The game mechanics already promote going full Yandere if another player's character you want to get a relationship with is already in a relationship. Either break it up by lowering a value below zero, or use a card to break it (or even steal the relationship)

>So once a relationship is started, are the two girls locked until unpaired

Locked until unpaired

>or can another girl try to form a relationship with one of them while the first relationship is still ongoing?

Certain cards will be able to simultaneously break a relationship and form a new one. They are powerful, but will have restrictions as to when and how they are used.

>Is polygamy allowed?

I have thought about including a card that allows you to make a 3-girl relationship but I doubt I will do so for four reasons.

1: In a 3 player game it could ruin any competition since you can just make everything a 3-girl relationship

2: The number of compounding effects and stables on all the girls in a relationship would rapidly get confusing

3: It would likely plain be unbalanced to have three players working on building up the same relationship. Too easy to make it stable.

4: See card suggestion above. "will be able to simultaneously break a relationship and form a new one". What the fuck happens if you apply that to a 3-girl relationship? It would basically need a separate ruling to handle that situation. Lots of other arbitrary exceptions would need to apply too.

When the rules are fully written up on how, exactly, relationship cards work it will become clearer why this is probably a bad idea (as thematically interesting as it may be)

----

Brief explanation now: A relationship card is basically just an action card that puts the characters into a relationship, does something else that may or may not be useful and then gets discarded.

>>1946475
>since you can just make everything a 3-girl relationship
You say it like it's a bad thing.

By the way, do you have a more detailed draft of the rules somewhere? On a pastebin, maybe?

Okay, so. Since I'll have plenty of free time next year, I'm willing to learn how to use unreal engine (Batman Arkham series engine) (dear /v/ I bet you hate this engine for some stupid reason I don't care for what you think don't reply me) and make a game with /u/ content.

What kind of game would /u/ like? I'm thinking... Maybe Mass Effect/Dragon Age dialogue/flirt system (romance sidequest and etc), the same time of character development/relationship (you need to talk to her, invest few minutes in this) but besides that, I don't know what genre and more... I was thinking something Person of Interest style, modern game, detective investigations this kind of thing. Would like opinions.

For a walkaround 3d project? Assuming you were halfway competent, a proper vampire lesbians game could be fun. Stalk girls through alleys and bite them.

You don't need to spend your time on detailed dialogue and flirting, there are already plenty of game makers doing text games and visual novels. There's also an all-lesbian detective game already. We need action.

>>1946693
If this will ever amount to anything I will eat a hundred (100) macarons.

>>1946693
It's a nice premise, though I think trying to emulate KotOR would be better than ME/DAO. I love the notion of PoI style, so focused on surveillance and the like? With maybe a few sections that are action orientated, as long as it's not the focus.

Either way I suggest having at max, maybe 2 LIs depending on how deep you want to make them. With a secret threesome end if doable.

Never planned making a visual novel.

So, let me see if I get it. Character development isn't that important, what you want is action with lesbians characters? Also, what "all-lesbian detective game" are you talking about?

Noted. I'll study KotOR dialogue system.

Glad you do. Exactly! There will be action but investigation and interaction with characters is the focus of the game. I mean, at least it's my idea. But to pull something as clever as PoI plot, I'll need to sharp my writing skills.

>Either way I suggest having at max, maybe 2 LIs depending on how deep you want to make them.
So, you want want character development. It is a good idea to keep a small number of love interest so I can work more on them. Noted I want to make a threesome ending, but I don't want the scene to be forced. I was thinking if you pick the right dialogue choices or upgrade smooth talker perk to max you can convice both to go to bed with you...?

I've always thought Strike Witches was made for an Afterburner style game.

>>1946726
>Spoilers
One of the things that I feel might help to make it less forced is emphasizing or at least establishing that all three could and can love each other. Say in case the Mcs away the two love interests could spend some time being a coupe or what not, since there's three possible pairings with 3 people: AB, AC, and BC.

Anyway an idea/suggestion if it's PoI-esque, and if the love interests are like Jesus and Shaw or at least relatively capable in defending themselves, you could have a situation arise where say the three of you have to split up because of time constraints or something and it goes like;
1. All three go to each objective and get it done with (no romance or no gain involving the mc)
2.One of them goes with the mc to complete their objectives while the third one goes off to complete hers (Romance infleunce or gain with Mc+LI1, possible loss with LI2)
3. Same as 2 but with LI2
4. MC sends LI1 and LI2 off together to complete their objectives while MC goes to her (camaraderie or possible romantic gain involving LI1+LI2 concerning each other, slight gain for MC)

Just an idea to help kind of lessen how forced it might feel.

>>1946716

That's what's hardest to come by here, generally, so yeah.

That's a pretty good idea. I can add more details to this idea you gave me as soon I estabilish what kind of personality the characters will have.

While in this subject, if I'm not mistaking, in one of Dragon Age games (Origins) you can conveice your LI (Leliana) to have a threesome with another character (Isabela) after finishing a quest. What you said make me remember.

Now making her cockblock the other couple at every fucking moment they have together, while she gets to enjoy both girls in her routes undisturbed is dowright a faggotry from the writer. Seriously. Fuck him.

>No TCG has games that short.
Hearthstone's average game length on lower ranks is 10-15 minutes, mostly due to the timer. It is possible to win in under five minutes, provided you have some (a lot of) luck and pick just the right deck.
>inb4 Hearthstone isn't a true TCG

Though I personally prefer games that last 15-20 minutes. Longer (30+ minutes to two hours) games tend to get tedious, especially if you're playing against random players and not with friends. That game length would also require more balancing.

Still, even though that anon's opinion was more of an angry cry than a coherent post, people don't have to like all yuri games just because they are yuri and there might not be any more next year. It's that kind of a warped mentality that leads to people praising overall mediocre or downright bad works just because they have something they like.

>>1948287
I'm a terrible person so seeing you discuss a card game makes me want to make my own completely different one. On the bright side, more yuri?

>>1948372
I didn't say anything about having to like it either. But the sentiment that it would be better if the developer released no yuri games is the sort that reflects badly on a person who thinks like that. I think sonohana has been consistently bad but welcome that they keep going.

>>1948375
If it's any consolation when I release the Magic Set Editor template and the rules you can make your own sets of cards for it.

And the template can probably even be adapted for a different game anyway.

>>1948338
I don't know, I've been playing a bit of Duelyst (if that counts) lately and before that I used to play Sword Girls. Both are pretty short, but they're obviously completely different from games like MTG.

>>1948233
Sengoku no Kuroyuri

Seeing the card came ideas on here, I decided to take a crack at it myself. Let me know what you guys think:

2/3/4 players

You are a Yuri Lord presiding over your dimension, and you are to do your job and get some yuri love going.

However, there is only so much Yuri cosmic energy to go around across all dimensions, and other dimensions with their own Yuri Lords exist, also trying to do their job. The goal of the game is to get three pairs of girls together from your 'Dimension' before your opponent/s do.

Instead of attacking your opponent, you instead use your character cards to "attack" each other increasing their Love stat, eventually pairing them up. Of course, as an all-powerful deity of yuri, you have the ability to mess with other dimensions, and make your own more conducive to yuri.

Mechanics to follow.

Time for the great /u/ card game arms race.

>>1948804
Wouldn't it be better in a /u/ meet /tg/ thread? We used to have one of these.

>>1948827
If you think that would be a good thread, go make it.

Been a while since we heard anything of that game an anon was making with SRPG maker so I'm assuming they're either quitely working on it or theyvnever make it off the ground

Is the torrent in nyaa for patched Aoi Shiro legit?

>>1948948
Nah, it's pirated.

>>1948949
Kidding aside, I could probably upload it to Mega if there's enough demand for it.

>>1948804
To add to the fray, mine is about being a Senpai and competing with other Senpais to date underclassmen every round. You get extra points if you claim their Sacred First Kiss but you want to keep taking them on dates to outscore your competition.

More details after I've playtested.

>>1948901
This thread will probably hit bump in a couple of days. If we're still talking cards then I'll spawn off a card game thread and link it in the next OP.

>>1948950

Well I'm down for it. But this torrent will eventually finish I guess.

There you go. It's a little rough, but it is a playable game (We printed and played a little). Plenty of room for improvement, though. Especially the graphics.

This is not a Purity game! The players are all senpais trying to win the affections of cute young maidens. You have to keep trying to date them all every round to win points, but you do get bonus points if you steal a maiden's Sacred First Kiss.

>>1949632
Wow, this is great! How long did it take for you make this?

How did you make your friends play a lesbian card game?

>>1949632
I love you, anon. Keep up the good work.

Dang. Beat at my own goal of making a card game. I guess skipping straight to making cards instead of fiddling with magic set editor will achieve that though!

>>1949687
I'm sure yours will be much prettier!

>>1949632
Well, here's one way to ring in the new year. Good work, anon.

A word of advice for anyone who is playing/planning to play Summon Night 5:

Unlike what was said earlier in the thread, the game doesn't go the Yuri way at all, it doesn't even leave it up in the air, instead it openly denies it when you reach the ending.

Little Spoilers ahead for female MC+Spinel "romance" ending:

There is a huge Yuri bait in this route, in the last "night conversation" it looks like both the MC and Spinel are confessing their love to each other, but in the actual ending, while Spinel is all "I don't care about gender, etc..." the MC responds that gender is actually really important, and therefore they can only be friends, and adds "Sorry if this isn't the way you expected things to go".
Spinel even regrets being born a female for this reason.


It's still an entertaining game overall, but don't play it for the Yuri, because it's all bait.

>>1950111
>at the very end

That's a pretty dick move.

Sorry for the pun.

>>1950111
dropped, thanks for the warning

>>1950118
It probably wasn't intended to bait so hard, it's just that they didn't bother changing any of the dialogue according to the gender of the main character, except in the ending.
So it looks like you're on a romance route up until the very end, where it's turned around if you picked female.

Still, the fact that they went out of their way to change the outcome just to prevent a same-sex couple is really silly.

>>1950125
Thought the nips were starting to move past that. Oh well.

>>1950111
Is it like this for every girl or just Spinel? Was this a change due to localization or was the JP version like this as well? I've asked about this game before and I was told that there was yuri and the romance options were the same for both MCs. It's surprising to just hear about this now.

>>1950144
It's not that surprising, the game was released a short time ago and you only find that out when you finish it.

I've only played one route, but it's safe to assume that the result is the same for any other girl, it wouldn't make sense to force heterosexuality on the MC for some endings and not some others.

>>1950149
Yes, the game was released in English a short while ago but its been out in Japan for a lot longer. This doesn't really answer my question since I swear I've heard that there's at least one actual yuri ending. It could just be that its only like this for Spinel. Can anybody else give us more details on the yuri in this game?

>>1950154
I know about that, but how many english speaking people can understand Japanese AND are inclined to play a yuri route AND are going to post about it somewhere?
Probably, not very many.

I also remember reading somewhere that the "yuri" endings are like the het ones but don't have kisses, which was probably said by someone who played the game in Japanese without understanding the dialogue, and only looked at the pictures.

>>1950154
There, I found the quote:

"Another point that 2ch seems to highlight as a bad point but is YMMV for me is the fact that some characters seem to be bisexual. That is, they don't particularly care if you're male or female to reach their romance ending, although the same-sex pairs don't get a kiss like the hetero ones do...."
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/20/summon-night-5-producer-discusses-the-first-numbered-game-in-six-years/

This is definitely true for Spinel, she is indeed in love with the MC regardless of gender, but the reason they don't kiss is because the MC is heterosexual.

>>1950111
>>1950125
Disgusting. The responsible parties should go kill themselves.
Thanks for the warning though

>>1950149
I've not much interest in the game (I don't have a PSP anyway) but out of curiosity I watched a couple of nico videos and after Arca tells Ruelly she's confessing and asks whether that's strange, Ruelly does bring up gender, regretting not being a boy, but Arca responds by effectively asking whether that's a rejection and Ruelly says no way.

>>1950111
That's just cruel, are they spiting yurifags on purpose?

>>1950193
Actually, since I assume you speak Jap, here is Spinel's ending:

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22561059

Can you confirm that it goes the same way I described earlier?

>>1950217
And I bought this shit, haven't finished but it seemed like a Yuri end was in sight FML man

>>1950219
Not that anon, but judging from 3:30 - 4:40 it's pretty much the same.

>>1950224
Thanks, at least we can rule out that it was a localization retcon.

Still, if what he said about the Ruelly route is true, there may be some salvageable endings after all.

>>1948228
That premise is really good, actually, but from there on I don't see anything other than unrequited love drama cliches.
>drama over the love interest now being "unreachable" (direct relative; parents are mortal enemies)
>drama over parental abandonment
>drama over origins

Similarly, the resolution will be equally cliched ("I don't care if she's also my mother and your archenemy, I still love her!")

>>1950228
Spinel was literally the best route. Fuck those homophobic bastards

I thought the cheek kiss happened not matter what MC you chose.

>>1950219
Not 100% sure but it seems like MC is saying even though it's different from lovers, she does love Spinel and they'll always be together.

Also, it's not captioned but Spinel's last line is "daisuki desu, nee-sama"

>>1950111
I do not really get the same impression as you do when I read the Japanese version.

MC downplays their relation to "slightly different than lovers"
But there was definitely not a line anything even close to:
"Sorry if this isn't the way you expected things to go".

>>1950149
>It's not that surprising
It is very surprising. The Summon Night series was pretty yuri friendly before. The Swordcraft Story spin-off mostly, but I don't remember them ever baiting like that in the regular series.
I'm suspicious that it might be the translators that changed that.

>>1950237
Well if it's "different from lovers", it's definitely intended as friendship, so the localization is accurate.

127KB, 1024x768px

>>1950239
Spinel definitely acts disappointed when she hears that explanation, I can't make myself believe they were aiming for a romantic resolution nonetheless.

>>1950243
That line does not exist in the Japanese version.

>>1950241
I wonder if anyone who went out of their way to play this specific route was pleased by this like, ''Friends ? That's fucking awesome thanks based gamemakers''

>>1950240
It's surprising because we've repeatedly been told that this was a yuri-freindly game before it was ever out in English.

>>1950193
Can you say anything else about Ruelly's route? Are there any routes where they don't even bring up gender at all?

>>1950246
And you know what's even funnier?

Each character has a "friendship" ending and a "romance" ending, yet in this case even the latter ends with friendship...

>>1950246
Nobody would care at all if they kept it full /u/. Straight girls playing this game and self-inserting would choose their night talks with one of the guys and the dreaded "waifufags" would have chosen the male MC to begin with.

>>1950251
Maybe Spinel was someone's waifu and he didn't want female MC to get on with her

>>1950209
That was during the night conversation, but the video also had the ending.

www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23982462

>>1950241
>>1950243
I think that downplays it more than the Japanese did.

>>1950247
>Can you say anything else about Ruelly's route?
In the end Ruelly moves in and Pariet/Spinel decides to move out.

And, the male MC version seems pretty much the same (instead of bringing up that she's not a boy she brings up other girls being cuter)

>Are there any routes where they don't even bring up gender at all?
I can't remember.

>>1950240
I remember one of our previous discussion linking to Japanese yuri fans' comments saying that the main Summon Night series was as a whole not really yuri-friendly.

SP: Nee-sama. You are always like this. Just smiling when I talk about my feelings (for you).
SP: Whenever I say I love you, my heart races this much
MC: It's not like I'm calm, I know that you're serious
MC: If I was a boy that would really be the point where I jumped around in happiness
SP: Who cares about gender!
SP: Compared to Nee-samas beautiful soul that's a triffling thing
MC: Triffing?! It's important.
SP: Why was I born like this...
SP: This is the only thing I blame you for
MC: Ahaha, yeah I do feel a bit bad about it
MC: But Spinel being a cute girl does have upsides
SP: How?
MC: Slighthly different from lovers we can always be together as 好き同士 (TL=Lovers, boyfriend&girlfriend, _SOULMATES_)
MC: I think that is truly a wonderful thing in its own way
SP: hau..
MC: What I said was pretty embarrassing I guess
MC: Let us go! But not into the fire or anything.
MC: If it's the two of us there is nowhere we can not go.

>>1950271
Also English is a shitty and rough language and (shitty)translations remove any subtlety so take this with a very big grain of salt. Japanese version is not as direct as this and much "softer" and more jokingly said.

>>1950271
How can it be both "different from lovers" and "lovers"?

Besides, Spinel's "hau..." sounds disappointed in the voice acting.

Wonder if Gaijinworks would listen and alter that bit of dialogue that wasn't in the original. It seems unnecessary and kind of mean.

>>1950277
>Besides, Spinel's "hau..." sounds disappointed in the voice acting.

Embarrassed and blushing more like it.

>>1950281
Well the extra line in the english version definitely gives it a different tone altogether, it's pretty weird.

I guess one could still see the original version as "not actually the boy/girl kind of love" but "our own brand of girl/girl love".

Overbearing translators much?

>>1950283
Well, since we have access to the internet and nice people here translating from the source (mentioning possible differing meanings), I'd go by what's originally been intended to be said. As bad as it may be.

>>1950283
>"our own brand of girl/girl love"
You're perpetuating the delusional /u/fag stereotype here

>>1950283
>Overbearing translators much?
Can't be helped really. When translating JP -> ENG you are forced to steer in different directions and make things explicit instead of leaving them subtle.
For example if the translator had been one of us he'd have gone with "soul mates" instead of "beloved friends" (which is at the the utmost extreme in the opposite direction of possible interpretations).

>>1950285
That seems reasonable when you consider that the other route has a much clearer romantic resolution.
Why would they make a rejection happen for one girl and not another?
(hopefully the localization didn't butcher that one as well btw)

Thanks a lot to those who clarified, that cheered me up after the disappointment of what was made to look like an outright rejection.
Some good ending that would have been.

>>1950243
Is this line supposed to be what >>1950271 translates as "MC: Ahaha, yeah I do feel a bit bad about it"

>>1950285
>I'd go by what's originally been intended to be said. As bad as it may be.
Considering the extra line. Do you really thing the translator was unbiased in his interpretation?

>>1950292
Is it actually an "extra line" or is it just translating like this >>1950291
It seems unlikely the translator just flat-out added an extra line.

File: ending3.jpg (72KB, 960x544px) Image search: [Google]

72KB, 960x544px

>>1950291
Nope, that's in place of "What I said was pretty embarrassing I guess".

the bad end is the only decent ending anyway. at least you guys didnt choose cyda like me.

>>1950295
>It seems unlikely the translator just flat-out added an extra line.
It's Gaijinworks, I really won't put it past them.

>>1950298
Ah, so it's not an extra line. Just a strange translation.

>>1950295
""Sorry if this isn't the way you expected things to go"."

Doesn't matter if it was an added line or whatever. NOTHING like this line exists in the original.

It's worth noting that if you take what the MC said as a rejection, Spinel would basically go from depressed to super cheery in the span of two lines of dialogue.

The scene flows much more naturally if you take the response as positive.

>Man this is one shitty localization. Nico was right. I’m seeing some meme jokes here and there. Ruins any seriousness the scenes would have otherwise. (And no this isn’t Neptunia, there aren’t suppose to be any)
>Avoid at all costs.

/v/ was saying the same about the translation when the game came out, some lines were totally different in japanese.

>>1950306
Yeah, Gaijinworks like to insert their 'in-house' jokes to the games they translated.

>>1950299
Whats up with Cyda's route?

>>1950299
How was the Cyda ending?

>>1950299
Can you spoil her ending?

>>1950308
flat out asks if you're a dyke. then total rejection by arca. decided to get nibbled on by the twins instead then sacrifice myself for their smiles.

>>1950314
Why did they even bother to put female/female romance options

is there any decent yuri end in the game?

>>1950314
Haha, wow.

It's too bad there is no Cyda ending video on nico, we could've checked whether the localization is to blame.

>>1950319
Political correctness.

>>1950321
It sounds like Ruelly might be the only one. According to >>1950193, Arca is actually the one that confesses and Ruelly accepts it. I don't know if there's any other noteworthy details on this ending.

>>1950326
Keep in mind that he referred to the Japanese ending, we have no idea how many liberties the translators could've taken with that one as well.

>>1950321
what about pariet/yeng-hua?

This
http://sp.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23982421?cp_in=wt_uservideo

>>1950337
That's Yeng-Hua though.

>>1950268
It's pretty clear, yes.

Gist of it:
R:Did you just confess to me?
R:But we're both girls!
MC:Did you just turn me down?
R:N-n-no, no way!
R: Let's give it a try then
R: Can I make two wished? When I become a full fledged summoner, can I move in with you?
MC: Sure.
R: Also can you give me a kiss on the cheek so that I know this isn't a dream?

>>1950342
And also cyda

>>1950344
Is that the night conversation or the ending?

>>1950346
Night conversation.
Ending is her moving in after becoming a full fledged summoner.

Bought a 30 bucks psp game for homophobic shit

I feel sad now

>>1950347
The night conversation was a mutual confession for Spinel as well, at least in this case the ending doesn't complicate things.

I suppose even the localization couldn't have changed that... maybe.

Since you are so nice, mind taking a look at Cyda's ending too?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23982421 (from 6:47)

It seems like it's an outright rejection in the english version.

>>1950344
Don forget that (at least in the jap version) MC actually kiss her.

>>1950351
I don't get it. Why would they change it up so much? If I pick Arca and make the conscious choice of pursuing a female character in night convos, I don't think I'd want the payoff to be a flat out rejection... from MYSELF of all people. It's like I'VE been the one stringing the girl along only to turn around and go "HA! Made you think I was into girls! We can still be BFFs, sucker!"

Really, who thought that was a good idea? It make's IFI's localizations look professional.

>>1950351
meh arca just sounds ruelly-sexual. ruelly stars in the bad end too.. better then most games.

>>1950360
I watched the male version of her end and didn't notice any real difference from the Japanese

>>1950363
Well, playing devil's advocat, the japanese ending isn't exactly clear about it either.
Guess the translators could've simply interpreted it in their own way, and made their version explicit.

We'll determine whether it was just an incident or a pattern when we have more details on the other endings.

>>1950370
Uh, meant to write
>I watched the male Japanese version of her end and didn't notice any real difference from the female

>>1950352
>It seems like it's an outright rejection in the english version.

Same in the Japanese one. Alca seems disappointed at having to settle for the little sister role.

>>1950351
I don't know why you would support Gaijinworks in the first place for removing the voices and giving us a shitty translation.

>>1950377
Oh, so it's Cyda that rejects Arca?
I understood it was the other way around from what the other anon said.

Disappointing, but now it's confirmed that the localization isn't really the only thing that went wrong here.

Thanks for you help, someone should make a guide for the actual yuri endings in the future.

>>1950382
its arca in the english. cyda never really gets the chance. it felt more like arca was trying to convince her she just liked being around her and wasn't trying to get into her pants.

the male protag confesses during that conversation though.

>>1950388
Maybe she's just not a paedophiliac, though.

>>1950388
Guess the Jap fluent anon mismatched the names.

So this is what we've got so far:

- Ruelly ending: Yuri
- Spinel ending: up to interpretation in the original, Not Yuri in the localization
- Cyda ending: Not Yuri
- Pariet ending: ???
- Yeng-Hua ending: ???
