Hanako dev lurks /u/?

>>2054720
A fair number of devs do.

Koihime Enbu was just released on Steam. Don't know how much yuri/subtext there is since it's a fighting game.

???

>>2054760
I was thinking of getting this because I loved the KM anime, but that price is awful steep.

>>2054660
How long is the game?

>>2054844
It seemed pretty long for me. It took me a few hours to do just one route.

Of course, I am a semi-slow reader and also did plenty of saving/loading to get the 'resources' the games wants you to have for certain characters.

Also, I must say, the roller coaster of emotions that went through me for some of this game... My god. It's going to take me a while to finish every route.

In my opinion, definitely worth the price it's at.

>>2054708
This. It's really putting me off, I really like the art and I'm interested in the premise but if there's gonna be like 2-3 actual yuri routes out of 6 this completely kills the game for me (at least until it gets a pretty heavy discount).
I really don't get why making a "yuri" game and then being half-assed about the routes...

>>2054670
Which? Is it made evident while you play, or by the choices you make? Maybe I'm underestimating the friend routes, but my primary motivation is yuri, I dunno if I want to invest in any friend routes.
The game does look good, though.

>>2054877
>resources
I know the feeling, rerolling is a pain
>>2054670
which route?
Lottie?

>>2054887
Do you really want to romance a four years old girl?

>>2054895
Well...

>>2054895
But /ll/ is what dreams are made of.

>>2054887
>I really don't get why making a "yuri" game and then being half-assed about the routes...

Can it really be "half assed" if it is done intentionally? Some people like cute girl friendship stuff.

And I don't see why you would say yuri in quotes if half the game is yuri with the other half being close.

I mean I would generally also prefer if friendships turned to romance but I am not going to put off a decent looking yuri game because it only has a lot of yuri and not all the yuri. If you can't read runes being picky doesn't leave you much to consume either.

>>2054969
Steam freaks out about everything. Killing numerous people and dealing millions of dollars in property damage is okay but /ll/ing one girl is not. Dumbest shit.

>>2054974
To be fair to Steam literally nothing was censored in Kindred Spirits. Including a teacher having sex with an underaged student.

And it isn't like the sex vs violence thing is unique to Steam, it exists almost anywhere that games exist and a lot of places where other things with them exist.

>>2054977
It's not about sex vs violence (although that's probably the dumbestest shit ever). Having romantic relationships with kids (as in, younger that 12-14) in the game is considered to be fucked up. Which is why a lot of Western VN developers avoid putting young-looking characters in their games.

I vaguely remember there being a shitstorm about some game having romanceable young girl(s) a couple of years ago, but I don't remember what the game was called or what caused the outburst. Either way, I don't get why people can't grasp that fictional characters are, surprise, fictional.

>>2054977
And because people are kneejerk they were more freaked out about how young the teacher looked than about the student being a bit underage.

Still, there's sixteen-underage and there's eight-underage. People were generally creeped out about Strawberry Vinegar because the romantic characters were only nine.

>>2054999
>Strawberry Vinegar
I haven't played it yet, but wasn't it more of a friendship than a romance?

>>2054999
>sixteen-underage
In a lot of countries, banging sixteen-year-olds is completely legal.

>>2055017
Including several US states.

>>2055003
>>2054999
It's a cutesy friendship with a timeskip ending that shows them in a romance.

>>2055003
The whole story was about friendship yes, but you can have an ending where after the time skip they are lovers.

>>2055018
Generally not if you're a teacher, though, and god forbid you take a picture of the teenager you're legally banging.

>>2055017
>banging sixteen-year-olds is completely legal.
in regards to steam's policy it needs to be 18+

>>2055033
Which Steam policy is that?

>>2055065

>>2054701
You need to email and ask for them

>>2054663
Shadows of Pygmalion is 97% translated, so I expect that to come out in the next few months.

>>2055033
Not talking about Steam policy here, just the fact that people getting upset about underage banging is baseless if the age of consent is reached.

Although I don't remember Steam explicitly prohibiting underage sex. Looking at their Greenlight FAQ, it states that "Your game must not contain offensive material or violate copyright or intellectual property rights". It does not elaborate on which materials are considered offensive, though.

>>2055112
At least in the US, depicting sexual acts with someone under 18 can still cause problems even if they're over the age of consent, because the laws about pornography are different. However, when you're talking softcore stuff, and especially milder things like in Kindred Spirits, it may not be classed as porn and therefore may pass, just as certain movies have topless teenage girls in them without being banned.

Porn/obscenity laws are almost always left nebulous because they don't want people to play rules lawyer with what is and isn't acceptable.

>18+
What if they say all characters are 18+ even if the story implies otherwise?

Like this girl that looks 12, acts 12 and goes to the school level she should go if she was 12, but since the antilawyer shields say she's 18 she's 18.

>>2055121
Not sure about US, but in my country there were cases when images of naked characters that looked underage got classified as child pornography, despite said characters being adults (one case I remember in particular was when several DA pages with images of nude/lewd Remilia, who is about 500 years old canonically, got banned).
As far as I remember, it's based on the imagery. If an "expert" looks at the picture and says it depicts a child, then it's an image of a child and will be treated as such, at least when it comes to pornography laws.

But "all characters in this work are over 18 years old" can help you avoid a lot of problems nonetheless.

>>2055121
/u/ is not a lawyer and we're getting into deep confusing areas where the laws vary by jurisdiction, not to mention multiple people's perceptions of the laws (like, if the law says technically yes, but steam says no, the law doesn't matter) so it's really pointless to try and hair-split.

>>2055121
>Like this girl that looks 12, acts 12 and goes to the school level she should go if she was 12, but since the antilawyer shields say she's 18 she's 18.

Should be fine. After all most of that is subjective. As long as you don't state conflicting ages. (i.e. if you say during the story she's 12, that's kinda bad)
I mean just recently I read something with a supposed 32 year old protagonist who acted like all the 16 year old ones. You can slap any number you want on something. It hardly matters. There are enough lolis that are like 12 and are cleverer than many adults in (Japanese) fiction as well.

That said, I always wondered about the school system. Technically you can derive ages, but then again, seeing how it's fiction, you could always argue that that school is full with people of ages 18+ and that's normal in that world.

>>2055131

>>2054660
Anyone played Starlight Vega? Is it worth checking out? I played the demo, but I am still unsure if it will be good or not.

>>2055136
Ah, Russki.

>>2055138
It's like sex with a stranger - fun while it lasts but lacks any emotional impact.
CGs are pretty decent, though. Main girls' routes are good, harem is rushed as fuck. Scherza best girl, but her route also feels rushed sometimes.

I'd say wait for a discount if you're not sure. Or pirate and then buy if you enjoy it.

C14 Dating is a visual novel that came out recently and apparently has a yuri route. I haven't played it myself, so I don't know how good the route is, but it might be worth checking out.

>>2055141
>CGs are pretty decent, though.
It bothered me a lot how they couldn't keep the protagonist's hair color consistent.

>harem is rushed as fuck
It's literally the other routes mashed together into with a new CG at the end. Best not to think of it as an additional route.

That said, it's decent enough and there isn't much else out there for pure yuri EVNs, so.

>>2055138
there was an entire thread on it when it first came out, maybe scour the archives and read it for opinions.

>>2055145
>apparently has a yuri route.
i would say wait for the yuri edition. it seems like a f rank consolation prize at this point.

>>2055145
It's not. It feels tacked on to bait in the yuri audience.

>>2055154
>>2055156
That sucks. I'm so sorry to hear that.

>>2055138
>>2055149
What bothered me the most was how the art is unpolished, inconsistent and partially left unfinished(?).
Not sure if the dev will ever update the game with finished art though.

Also Lyria a shit.

>>2055156
did you play it? despite wanting to avoid these things myself, i am always curious if it's a friendship thing or a full fledged route.

>>2055161
You a shit.

What do you mean by unfinished, anyway?

>>2055149
It's frustrating how half-assed it was considering all the money it raised on kickstarter beforehand, while several other yuri EVNs work their way up from scratch and get less attention.

>>2055163
I have not played it. To the best of my knowledge it's not just friends but it's a 'secret route' and short. If you're not interested in the otome routes I would say avoid.

>>2055138
It's one of those games where you can't really say "it's very good, buy it" because it depends on how much certain things will spoil your enjoyement of the game, like the inconsistent art and the repetitive soundtrack.


I also had some issues because after finishing the Melody route I couldn't bring myself to finish the others.

>>2055168
Starlight Vega has sex scenes, other yuri EVNs don't, so it does better. Devs should take note.

>>2055174
>some issues because
shh, don't admit that or we'll end up back in the days where all games have only one pairing

>>2055168
I backed it for $10 and regret nothing. I certainly got my money's worth.

>>2055174
Are you me? After viewing Melody's normal end I just skipped through a certain other route because it made that certain character extremely unlikable.

try scherza's. she is the most surprising of the three.

>>2055185
I didn't like Sherza's route at all. I found it almost worse than the rushed harem route.

which ones?

>>2055163
I did. The route feels shorter than the other ones and something just didn't feel right. The whole game is rather bland slice of fluff life though and that has never been my cup of tea.

>>2055182
Honestly art like the one you posted was what I was expecting, especially because it wasn't very cheap at 15 bucks, had a successful Kickstarter and has been in development since forever.
I don't regret purchasing it, but I'd recommend waiting for a sale.

>>2055191
Probably poor old Rising Angels Whichever that came out with three routes and nobody played

>>2055212
Honestly I didn't buy RA because the art was completely unappealing to me. I'm not saying that the art in SV is perfect(because it isn't, with inconsistencies and all), but I find it more charming.

>>2055212
Rumor has it that it is getting a voiced version soon and a free standalone for everyone from Yoi's perspective where she plays spy and assassin and hooks up with a reverse trap in the cast.

>>2055219
I agree, though I wish it had picked a style and stuck with it.

I really like the style in Asphyxia/Strawberry Vinegar but I know a lot of people find it too loli

I mean, sure, you could argue that she could have made a time jump to years later to do it, but then it would kind of reek of grooming.

>>2055268

>>2055219
Both the sprites and the CGs? I thought a lot of the CGs were cute.

>>2055065
Well they already mentioned 18+ patch before the game is even out. They know who thier audience is.
Inerestingly though their new artist, the one doing Sakura Adventure, apparently won't draw sex. She's fine doing nudity buy draws the line there.

Strange choice considering their direction towards more adult content

>>2055163

It was always described as a 'romantic friendship' and they always advertised the game as a whole as GxB so I don't think they tried to trick or bait anyone. As for the route itself, it's cute but it's insubstantial

>>2055065
Any clues about who's MC? It better not be an offscreen male SI.

>>2055567

>>2055579
I remember being pretty interested in those when people were kicking ideas around but I assumed that one was never completed.

The onee-sama making it had a custom card format and basic rules, with some refining could have easily been added to say, Tabletop Simulator. If it actually did get finished I would be very interested in it.

>>2055357
>>2055361
I'm still not so sure. The MC is totally female, yes, but in the summary it says;

"She soon discovers that it was a heroic knight who woke her from her slumber, and after a brief fight and “negotiation,” the knight decides to join her on an adventure to reclaim the dungeon!"

I know a 'knight' in VNs and stuff can be females sometimes, but the gender isn't identified in the summary, and considering there is only one yuri in the sakura games (I don't know if there is any other than Sakura fantasy_ it makes me very skeptical unless there is mostly just yuri baiting.

>>2055606
Oh. Nevermind. I just looked at most of the screenshots. The knight is female, too, I think.

Shouldn't post things without proper research.
I am learning...

>>2055618
Really? another campaign for their games...

>>2055618
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgY0IeEmeQo
Same trailer that they uploaded 9 months ago, SP have been translating it for awhile now, I didn't thought they needed a campaign for this as well, I guess SP just don't want to waste money and keep doing KS o GG for every game they have

>>2055670
>>2055665
SP's an S corporation, so besides any money that goes to the people actually doing things like translation, nobody there has a huge pile of money to sit on or throw on a game to fund all of it. One of SP's people has said that KS is much like a risk mitigation/market testing thing, that the overall lower revenue (from discount tiers, Amazon cuts, reward fulfillment, etc.) makes up for not knowing if the game will do well, so I'd think it's less of a money grab and more of a situation where they can't afford to have a flop.

>>2055681

Pretty much. MIGHT have to do with them licensing 50 games and delaying everything forever, but hey. If they survive this stage, they might end up fine. For now they are in dire need for any money, as they should've released like 10 more games at this point, easily. And they still continue to license. Which I feel is very dumb, but..

>>2055670
How short is the game really? Vndb 2-10 hour range doesn't say much.

Pity Mangagamer didn't announce anything new.

>>2055707
maybe animeexpo. but also consider that most of the 'well-known' yuri licenses have already been acquired.

>>2055604
There were two different ones posted, one of which had pretty cards, one of which had a playable rule structure. if only they could have been combined!

>>2055709

Yes. If they don't fund their own stuff, they can't do much. Rainbow thingy is probably still too new for a license at this point already. There's like only Nurses left as sensible licenses.

More Sono Hana is probably not such a good idea with all the ero. I'd assume as good as Yuri sells on Steam, that's not gonna happen for nukige on their own site. Makes you wonder why they even licensed some minor game of it that happened to be all-ages, but.. who knows what they'll do. Maybe they actually try cutting out the ero of some Sono Hana games.. or do some weird censoring so they conform with "allowed steam sex-scenes". You know, censoring the crotch even more and Sono Hana would be completely fine on Steam.. outside of the Loli x Teach one maybe.

We'll see. They still have a "yuri" title in their backlog and they aren't SP. They don't collect TBAs for the heck of it.

>>2055627
>Pretty much everything SP kickstarts gets funded within an hour

They failed at least one kickstarter entirely (for a weird genderbending yaoi game), and really struggled with a couple of others due to setting the goal too high and not having enough cool stuff on the crowdfund tiers. At least one of their crowdfunds had to frantically double the length of the funding period AND have SP throw in a bunch of money themselves in order to succeed.

So you're a little over-optimistic there, but I'm sure it will be fine.

>>2055779
Sure, the art is fairly consistent, the music is appropriate for the setting. Some of the routes surprised me, Lavinia's and Mariette's especially. The love of the great british empire is time period appropriate and faintly hilarious/awful as a british person who knows what the british empire actually did to India. Have to say that the semi princess maker stat building seemed a bit...tacked on? It didn't feel like I was building towards anything substantial as the stats are depleted to unlock routes. It would have functioned just as well without it.

>>2055802
I don't like yuri games where you can pair off 2 out of 3 (or more) in any combination at all. It just kills something for me, but I can't put my finger on what it is exactly.

I love games with one MC and multiple romance choices though.

>>2055802

Yeah, I ignored these shorts. A few of those exist, but they are too short for me to consider them as major releases. A bunch of them come out every now and then, also OEL ones. Major releases are rare, in part because there aren't many that are doable. Pretty short ones are MUCH more common, for obvious reasons. Also a bunch of doujin stuff.

>>2055805
What about games where you can pair off couples and then have the MC join in on the action?

>>2055807
Also nope. I love yuri harems, but can't tolerate it if the haremmettes getting it on with each other.

I've never played any yuri games but I really want to try one. I looked at the pastebin but I'm really indecisive. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good first-time yuri game? Preferably something that has separate paths and choices you can make that affect the path. Thanks in advance!

>>2055867
Aoi Shiro. I think that has by far the most choices that actually really change how the VN goes. Along with it's sister-game, Akaiito.

>>2055867
Aoi Shiro is a great VN but its yuri level is pretty subdued, so if you're trying to get your squee on it might be a lot of work to get through. Are you only interested in games that were originally Japanese? Do you want games that are legally free? Do you want 18+ content, or to avoid it, or not care?

>>2055878
Well, they asked for one with alot of choices.

The only Yuri VN'S I can think of that have that are Aoishiro, and Akaiito.

Kindred Spirits is completely linear.

Sona Hanabira is completely linear, and borderline nuikage.

Embric.

>>2055883
Starlight Vega doesn't have a TON of choices but it definitely has
> separate paths and choices you can make that affect the path.
And would make a decent starter game for some tastes because it's legal, not very expensive, and not very long. (Also, much more explicitly yuri than Aoi Shiro is.) It really depends on what someone is looking for.

Amaranto has, again, not a huge number of choices but definitely does have paths and choices. However, it's impossible to get legally afaik, you have to pirate it, so how good a recommendation it is depends on one's standards.

>>2055873
>>2055887
>>2055890
Thank you for the recommendations, anons! I'll check them out.

>>2055878
As long as it has yuri then it's ok!
It doesn't have to be originally Japanese or free and I don't mind how much 18+ content there is (or if there is none at all). Some kind of visual novel with separate character paths and choices would be nice. It doesn't have to have a bunch of choices, just enough to make it feel like your choices have some effect. If not, just something with interesting characters or story is enough.
Thanks to all of you!

>>2055892
Embric of Wulfhammer Castle is the only game that fits your description: lots of choices, choices that actually affect the outcome, explicit yuri. And it's universally regarded as the best written OEL yuri game.

>>2055920
You have serious problems reading the actual description.
On the other hand Embric is cool, so.

>>2055926
>You have serious problems reading the actual description.

Not that anon, but I don't see anything wrong.

>>2055933

Pardon?

>>2055920
>universally

Nah. I disagree. Embric was.. weird in a lot of ways. It really lacked something. The humor could be nice, but that's all it had really going for it.

I suppose people had fun with it, but.. let's put it this way. One of the worst things Rpgs can do is trigger a cutscene, have you walk 5 steps, trigger another cutscene, walk another x steps or switch a town or whatever and get another cutscene. All without any substantial gameplay. Embric is exactly that, but ONLY that. It kills a the flow of the story.. if you can even count it a "story". At the same time it wasn't really an adventure game either. It was.. just weird. Certainly a well done project for a single person and all, especially given that it's out for quite a few years already. Still I wouldn't praise it that high. Not even writing wise, as stuff like Asphyxia isn't really worse I think. Or Analogue/Hate Plus. The humor is a bit.. special.

>>2055936
>One of the worst things Rpgs can do is trigger a cutscene, have you walk 5 steps, trigger another cutscene, walk another x steps or switch a town or whatever and get another cutscene. All without any substantial gameplay.
So behave like a visual novel then.

>>2055936
>embric

>>2055934
Yes. Embric meets that description. However, that was not the description that the person asking for recommendations actually gave. Neither 'lots of choices' nor 'explicit yuri' was specified. In fact, it was specifically stated that it did not matter whether there was any explicit content at all.

My entire point was that the responder invented a different description than the one given, and then suggested Embric as the only game meeting this new description.

Which is not a bad thing, because Embric is a good game and deserves recommendations.

>>2055939
You expect a visual novel to be a visual novel. It's frustrating when you load up a new RPG and have to sit through an hour of cutscenes to get to the first bit of gameplay that you actually bought the game for.

Solution: don't call Embric an RPG, it isn't one, it falls into the category of story-driven adventure game made in RPG format. There's lots of those, most of them are creepy horror and not yuri. Inspired by Corpse Party I guess.

>>2055945
>It's frustrating when you load up a new RPG
Embric is not an RPG and nobody here called it one.

>>2055948
this anon did >>2055936

>>2055948
Can you read?

>>2055951
I don't know, can you?

>Solution: don't call Embric an RPG

Unless you and >>2055936 are different people, in which case, my bad.

>>2055939

That's not the point. A VN is a continued story of sorts. You have one scene, then the next. And so on.
In Embric you have 1 minute of a scene, then you are supposed to run around like and idiot to get the next 1 minute of a scene. There's barely any gameplay to actually give this a reason. Running from short cutscene to short cutscene is bad gamedesign. Simple as that. In Rpgs. And in any game.

To improve that it simply needed more adventure game mechanics. Or Rpg mechanics. Or be a VN. Anything. As it is, it was nothing really.

>>2055945
>There's lots of those, most of them are creepy horror and not yuri. Inspired by Corpse Party I guess.

These however put more emphasis on exploration, mood through actually going yourself through spooky places and so on. In Embric all you can do is find easter-eggs. That's fine, but only really doable once. (Which is also why I had the most fun it right at the start, but once I had explored everything and was supposed to follow some story, it was just annoying)

Oh boy, >>2055951 here. I was making fun of >>2055948 because as >>2055949 pointed out >>2055936 did call Embric a RPG (or at least implied that it was one). Hopefully this post clears that up, so we can continue actual discussion and not focus on my shitposting.

>>2055958
>In Embric you have 1 minute of a scene, then you are supposed to run around like and idiot to get the next 1 minute of a scene.
We must've been playing different Embrics, because I don't remember running around like an idiot.

It's a freeroaming hub-like territory where you can set flags and events depending on where and when you go. And when you trigger an event you get a cutscene, yes. The only way it's different from a VN (or, I guess, a date sim would fit better here) is that you have to trigger those events "manually" by going to certain places, as opposed to choosing an option and going straight to the next scene. You're also sort of left to your own devices after a certain point, which means you have some amount of freedom in choosing which events to trigger.

I understand how it might not be enjoyable on a subjective level, but I don't see any objective "bad gamedesign" in this particular part.

>>2055958

There was a bit more to it than that. I mean, not a whole lot more, but there was a lot of exploration to do if you are insane like me and feel the need to examine every single tree, box, or bookshelf. Which Embric rewards by actually having comedic flavor text for like every single thing.

Like the wells in the game, for example. Or how you can read elflady's book upside down.

While I love Embric, Duchess Catherine is bisexual. She can end up with Duke Embric in one of the endings. It's mostly lesbian romance though.

I would go with Aoishiro.

>>2055987
You do need to jump through quite the amount of hoops to get the Embric ending.

351KB, 802x601px

>>2055992
Aoishiro is no slouch either though, just look at all the bad endings you can get. I used a walkthrough so I only have those 2 blue bad endings unlocked though

>>2055997
Not to mention the insane ingame flowchart. So many choices....

>>2055997
I think the implication was that if you tried really damn hard you could get a non-gay ending in Embric, but you probably wouldn't.

In Aoishiro, if you try really damn hard (or use a walkthrough) you might get a nice ending with a girl but let's face it you're going to die.

>>2056000
Alot. Aoishiro is the Dark Souls of Visual Novels. Though some of the bad endings are heartwarming in really tragic ways. Like alot of Yasumis bad endings.

>>2055972

I never did any of such things actually. I just used Rpgs as an example to show what Embric does "wrong". In my opinion that is.

>>2055974
>bad gamedesign

I think any gameplay element needs a reason for existing. As you say, you could just use a map where you choose locations and that wouldn't change most things. Which is unfortunate. You can control your own figure, I just feel that that should be used for more than for walking from cutscene to cutscene. Usually walking-simulators try to at least let you walk through atmospheric areas.. though the genre is (for good reason) a big "love it or hate it" things.

>>2055983

Oh I agree, but I did that at the beginning basically. Which is again, why I had the most fun there. But once that was over.. it was essentially just following an event chain and walking from place a to b to c to d.. until you hit an end. With minor exceptions of course. I loved the exploration and gimmicks you can find, but that's not very well.. integrated?.. with the rest. Which is why I feel it needed a bit more to give the walking around a bit more of a purpose. (typical rpg elements or more adventure elements with a more "linear" approach to opening up areas based on available items and whatnot)

>>2054663
>Book of Zhu
Funding for that has basically dropped off to nothing. The creator has said they'll let it run its course and probably relaunch later and try to get some media coverage.

It has potential, but the demo needs some work (high volume music suddenly cuts in) and the promo video was cringeworthy at best.

>>2055154
I thought they went on record saying they'd never do another separate yuri version of a game after the clusterfuck that has been the Nicole yuri dev cycle

>>2055775
Does it at least have geniunely happy endings?

>>2056062
There's also been a relatively high number of VN projects on Kickstarter lately.

>>2056069
Yes. Everything turns out all right in the end, on all the routes. No one ends up dead, enslaved, or forced to marry against their will. Good people have good things happen to them. No bad ends.

>>2056079
This sounds just a bit like a ruse.

>>2056085
It's sad when we have this little faith in the idea of f/f couples ending happily.

>>2056088
I seem to recall reading that the age gap routes are non-romantic though

>>2055987
Duke Embric is implied to be [/spoiler]Alice so the whole game is 100% yuri.

I was recently told that Steam gets a huge part of the retail price of the games.
So I want to know, is it more profitable for the devs and publishers if I purchase their games directly from their site/itch.io/other?

>>2056096
Except not really.
Did you play the deluxe version in its entirety, anon?

>>2056097
steam gets 30% but the sales from them will probably dwarf any other site for devs. if you're looking to directly support devs though yeah website will have the least and itch.io can be as low as 10%.

>>2056100
>directly support devs
Yes, this is what I want. Thanks for the info.

>>2056097
For a single sale, yes, a developer will get a larger cut of the price you pay if you buy it directly from them. I don't know if itch takes a cut, I've never sold there.

Buying a game when it first launches on Steam has other benefits, though, as it helps push the game up the rankings, which gets it better posititioning on Steam, which helps it sell more later. And when you play and post screenshots and achievements and so on, that also advertises the game to your friends, especially if you post a positive review.

So there are benefits either way.

>>2056085
The game straight up tells you what will happen on the steam page, and the words "overseas" and "diamond mines" should set off a lot of flags in your head the moment you hear them. It is also based off of another story that I do not think I have ever read but at the same time I seemed to know it anyway, somehow. It must be somewhat common.

I have yet to complete a route but I will say that I am enjoying it quite a bit, definitely worth the small amount I paid. I had one small complaint but I forgot it. I really really love the artstyle and sprites, the few CGs are gorgeous, and I had a tough choice choosing from four out of the six routes that I thought I would like to do.

>>2056117
It has a movie adaptation too. It's a very well known book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Princess

>>2056119
Yeah I spent a while racking my brain trying to figure out if I had ever seen the movie, I came to the conclusion that if it was anything it was probably a play in a theatre that I saw 10+ years ago, which feels odd.

>>2056121
I'm pretty sure my grade school did a little stage play version of it when I was young. There's an anime, too, which I think aired in Europe.

>>2056119
Wow. I had no idea that the game condensed the story so hard.
I mean, in the game, everything happens in the span of around a year.
In the book (according to the wiki) a lot of this takes years to happen. Four years for Sara's father to die and even longer for Carrisford to find her. Unless I'm reading wrong (which is possible).

I guess they just didn't want to do time skips with the VN.

>>2056162
It's actually being faithful to the original story, which takes place over many years but feels like less than that because of time dilation.

>>2056100
>>2056097
>>2056108
Itch.io introduced open revenue sharing a while back, so devs can set it to anything they want, including 0%. Barring the growing trend of credit card charge callbacks for games that offer Steam codes, it's the most profit to devs.

>>2056216
The original-original story, the one that was published before the novel, actually did take place in a fairly short timespan, I think.

Most adaptations restrict the timespan to a year or so so that they don't have to completely replace the actresses as the girls grow up

>>2056098
Pretty sure I did, considering I wrote 1/3 of that google doc guide.

>>2056079

>>2056478

It's been years since I played it and The Gap in the Shape of You in My Heart still gets me.

I also really like how they can create authentic-sounding myths without explicitly tapping into any specific story.

Having finished all the routes, I can confirm this. Mariette and Lottie are friendship-only, though you could possibly see some subtext with the former if you squint. I do think they're still worth playing, though: Mariette was a more interesting character than I expected, and I rather liked seeing Sara acting motherly with Lottie.

Any other Little Lily Princess players have thoughts on a favorite route? I think my favorite's got to be Lavinia's, though overall I might like Becky slightly more as an option for Sara. She's goddamn adorable.

It really isn't. It makes me cry going back to it now that I know Japanese.

Nami is best girl.

I could never go Yasumi after reading the prequel manga. Poor Momo-Chan.

But yeah. Aoishiros production value is insane. Just watch the opening

And unlike Katahane that had hetshit, it didnt bankrupt Success.

>>2056486
If I remember correctly that's the route which was handled in the web novel as well. The feels it gave me were the reason I decided to buy the game in the first place ;_;

>>2056557
Yeah, it really was in severe need of an editor.
RIP Shijima

>>2056558
>bitching about the het in Katahane
Seriously? They're a separate couple, and if you don't go down the het route, you don't have to see their romance. What is wrong with you?

>>2056598
i remember them getting a lot of screentime in my playthrough. the switching pov was torture.

>>2056598
Unnecessary waste of money and focus. Plus there are two hetshit couples.

Is there no love in this thread for Migiwa?

Yeah, you have to be a pretty incredible baby to complain about het in katahane.

>>2056616
Second best girl (with a route). Of course there's love for her.

>>2056598
Its stupid. Success knew what was up, there two high production Yuri VNs are pure Yuri and sold very well. Katahne on the other hand tried to get the Yuri crowd, but failed to see we didnt want so much Het. Which is why they failed and went bankrupt

>>2056636
It's really sad that Success is only making phone games now.

>>2056636

What are you talking about. Aoi Shiro was pretty much what killed Success. Katahane is from Tarte. And also pretty much killed it. No difference. The het was not the issue of Katahane.

>>2056640
At least they semi ported Aoi Shiro to mobile. They still have eyes on the franchise.

The only thing I want is a PC port of Akaiio. Nothing more. The series of sister games if fine as it is.

Kinda weird though. The two of them are supposed to be kid friendly yet theres soooo much incest in both games.

>>2056641
Except Success still makes tons of video games to this day.

>>2056644
Anon dosent know what therw talking about. They ported Aoishiro to mobile a few months ago! There official website is full of products being released monthly. Success is far from dead.

>>2056643

Yeah, but that's just typical restructuring. Shit didn't work out so they entered a different market doing different stuff. It's pretty much not the same company, even though the name remains. (and they have the rights for their older stuff)
This stuff happens. Success is just as dead as Tarte.. perhaps even moreso, seeing how Katahane gets an HD-remake and the creative people behind it are still very active, even though it's behind a different name. (i.e. Qualia)

maybe we can get an official katahane release in the west including that new physical copy. that would be nice

>>2056617
Yeah, nah.

>>2056657
Like I wouldn't mind if it was Tokyo Necro were the male lead is an ultra badass, cold soldier, who goes around killing shit inbetween the het. And whose the female;e Yuri route has just as much focus. Stuff thats interesting. But Het romance bores the hell out of me...and Katahane suffered in my opinion for that.

Is the bonus picture for a little lily princess fixed to Lavinia? I did her route last so I'm wondering if there's one for every girl and it's decided by that or if it's just that picture.

Becky best girl.

>>2056617
The problem --->IMO<---, is that Ein's story completely overshines everything else. I get that shirohane is after the fact, but it is so terribly boring in comparison. I downloaded it for the yuri, but I was seriously bored (even with the yuri couple!) until Ein showed up. I don't care that it had het, it was just extremely boring

>>2056663
It's just that one picture, though hanako said if the sales were high enough the others might get bonuses someday.

>>2056667

And I felt the exact opposite of that. The first part was fun. Then I suddenly got to the past where random people I don't know nor care about have long winded discussion about wine. Fuck that shit.

And that's by the way one of the big issues that Katahane has. These two parts are WAY too different and don't harmonize, like at all. People are either there for the roadtrip and the great atmosphere there.. or don't like that and prefer the political shenanigans and wine in the middle. But few like everything.

>>2056679
I was one of those few who liked both, although I do still feel Kurohane was the more engaging part of the story.

If we're talking "what went wrong", I would say it was shoving the entirety of Kurohane in one dump and not gradually revealing the past corresponding to the events of the present (it's not unprecedented, too).

But eh, still gonna buy the remake, I like it too much and want J-Ment and Fue to make more stuff, and preferably actually finish said stuff for once owari fucking where

>>2056737

Is he the same Fue who also made Fella Pure?

>>2056741
No.

>>2056746
I see, thanks. The artstyle is too different anyway, but on sadpanda they have the same artist tag so I wondered.

I've been feeling like playing an SRPG, are there any ones that are good for /u/ content? (I know FE has some, but I don't like that series)

>>2056761
>Play XCOM
>Make a team of girls
>Imagine them being all gal pals with each other
>Watch them die because lol 90% hit chance miss
>Recruit new ones

In all seriousness, no SRPG I know is "good for /u/ content". Even the most recent FEs. Probably the best you can get, if you don't want to play FE, is goggleable friendship.

>>2056761
Does that one Tactics game on Steam count? I'm not entirely sure what qualifies something as an SRPG. It's only one /u/ relationship in there, but it is in there.

>>2056532
Jessie.

Dunno why. I liked the fact that she was super gay, even admitting she doesn't like men basically at all and that was why she was following Lavinia around.

She was also the only one with an actual kissing CG (Even Lavinia didn't get lip contact, and I felt she was the one the story wanted you to go after first).

In order for me though, my favorites were Jessie, Becky, Ermengarde, Lavinia, Mariette, and then Lottie.

>>2056668
I hope this becomes a thing. I liked a lot of the CG for the game, but it also lacked a lot to me.

Of all the playable routes, and the four actual romance focused ones, only one had an adorable kiss scene, and I had hoped at first that they would have the bonus kind of like the one that is fixed.

Summon Night 5? I remember we had discussion about it around the time of its English release because the localization apparently denied the yuri for some girls and kept it for others.
Then that depends on how far you're willing to stretch the SRPG label and if you're interested in Western stuffs. There are a handful of turn-based CRPGs that may be (slightly) relevant.

>>2056532
fatty is best girl

>>2056532
It's hard to choose. I'm torn between Jessie, Becky and Ermengarde.

Jessie is delightfuly gay and her CG are stunning.
Becky route is hearwrenching, and she and Sara are way too cute together.
Ermengarde is just adorable and I love how her relationship develops.

I guess that as a whole, Becky route was the one that felt more "complete".

But I would LOVE to see longer epilogues, maybe with a bit of time skip.
Hopefuly this one will sell well, it deserves to sell well.

>>2057144
>English release because the localization apparently denied the yuri for some girls and kept it for others.

Denied? That is putting it lightly.
It was a straight FUCK YO/u/.
Not even a mistranslation or misinterpretation just plain ill-will.

>>2057535
This is incorrect. They didn't take any routes out. Ruelly is and always has been the only gay option.

The English translator seemed to have really gone all-out on the "No Homo" with Spinel's ending, and /u/ was salty about that.

Is there actually a version with JP voices and the English text of Summon Night 5 by now? That way I could at least hear the right stuff. But seeing who localized this, I'd probably quite 5 minutes in, because the text has nothing to do with the original...

>>2056119
I started reading the novel to prepare for the game. It must be admitted that I'm not surprised they decided to pick that property. Sara has quite the harem.

>>2058281
I thought so. Becky in particular is completely, obsessively devoted to Sara. Lavinia, too, in the exact opposite way. A little bit with Ermengarde. Fair warning, there's a boy who has some of the standard love interest traits, but it never goes anywhere.

>>2058281

There is a shitload of subtext in the book with Ermengarde and Sara. In fact, 80% of the scenes in Ermengarde's route in the game are lifted almost wholesale from the book - and they're hella romantic.

Nights of Azure really should be added to the pastebin IMO.

Where's my Netochka Nezvanova VN, Hanako Games?

>>2058435
You'd have to bastardize the novel a lot to make it something /u/'d read. Except for that sweet loli lovin', which is just one of the segments, it's all typical Dostoevsky's grimderp endless suffering.

>>2058479
I don't think it would be that hard. Shorten the part with the parents, expand on the loli lovin', keep the part where Netochka's sent away for delicious angst and then come up with an ending that is happy yet full of beautiful suffering.

>>2058435
I've been looking around to figure out other books that could work for this sort of thing but olde bookes tend not to have enough of a female cast to go full-yuri. One pair of girls, easy, a harem of them, hard.

>>2057555
Not it isn't incorrect. They destroyed the original ending dialogue and replaced key parts of it ruining the ending in the translation.

Fuck off, shill.

>>2058422
o think we talked about it one thread and couldn't decide on it being yuri, yet the list has really pricey otome games with female friendship routes listed.

>>2058652
the list hasn't been updated recently, it's not a conspiracy

>>2058652
>couldn't decide on it being yuri
It is, end of story.

>>2058652
>female friendship routes
I'm only human; if there's a game in there that doesn't have any actual yuri routes you have to let me know and I can update on the next go-around. Most of the otome games in there I can vouch have romance routes but I haven't played everything.

>>2058612
What part of "the translator went full no homo" did you not understand? Do you even know what the original said? You wouldn't have liked it if they'd translated it literally either, with the whole "you're special to me but you can't be my girlfriend" speech.

Ne no Kami.
Not sure why Sekai Project is using IndieGogo when I believe they've always used Kickstarter in the past

>>2058724
Indiegogo lets them get the money whether it reaches the goal or not.

>>2057535
That happened a lot. Yuri romances have been getting censored for years. Only lately have companies stopped.

No point getting this salty about SN5. It was just marketing wisdom at the time. Times changed.

>>2058732
I thought that SN5 was released in 2015 for the western market though?

>>2058724
It's my first time backing something so I hope it goes well.

>>2058724
I have the impression Kickstarter may be getting more cagey about porn?

>>2058724
So basically if you don't back it for the 18+ patch you will only get the sfw version of the game?

>>2058736
Apparently. If you absolutely need those 5 bucks you could just wait since someone's going to upload it sooner or later anyway.

>>2058738
Nah, I was just asking, because I think it's weird to make people pay for a 18+ patch.
Actually I'm planning to back it for both part 1 and 2, but I would like to know if the VN is good enough and how long it is, more or less.

>>2058736
Yeah, I don't understand how that's going to work for retail customers after the game releases. Are they going to charge extra for the patch?

This air may be vegan, but is it GLUTEN FREE??

I liked Melody's route, but I didn't really like how you literally must at least be friends with Lyria, one of the least likeable characters I've ever seen.

>>2058739
>it's weird to make people pay for a 18+ patch
The content takes more to make though

>>2058742
Yeah that really pissed me off to. Litterally get worst ending if you don't let her lay in bed with you.

>>2058739
It's probably because the Japanese release also sold the extra 18+ content as an extra

>>2058747
You don't necessarily have to let her sleep with you, you can pick any two(?) choices to be nice to her.

Hope the whole game is written like this.

>>2058756

Don't worry. Sekai is known for shit translation and editing.

>>2058753
She doesn't earn any niceness though, she comes out of nowhere and jumps on you, a complete stranger, being demanding and pushy. And you're rarely (never?) given a chance to be neutrally polite to her, only to be for her or against her. It's not surprising that many people fall into the worst ending trap.

>>2058762
I did

>>2058732
>No point getting this salty about SN5. It was just marketing wisdom at the time.
Six months ago? After Nintendo announced their own gay characters? We're not talking about an old game here, anon: Japanese release May 2013 and North American localization December 2015.

>>2058768
I only avoided it because I had a feeling that's what would happen.

>>2058735
Please no ;_;

>>2058652
Have you played it? It is not a subtext game.

>>2058761
>shit translation
they are? i thought they were some of the better stuff by far.

>>2058742
Lyria is the best though

My nigrette.

>>2058819

No, you are confusing something. They are by far the worst. Even Jast is better on average, though to be fair a lot of that is still because they don't release much. Average Sekai however isn't even better than the worst stuff of Jast though.

It's.. pretty sad. I figured their most recent title, Root Double, would be fine at least as it was mostly done by known fantranslators.. but the editing and localization attempt were horrible.
So if you want to back this, keep in mind that Sekai is shit. It will probably be delayed. Perhaps even by a lot. Perhaps even Jast-ish. And the TL quality will not be good. It could obviously all miraculously change, but I.. doubt that.

>>2058821
She's great when you want to do her route. She's fucking insufferable otherwise. One of the best parts of Scherza's route was that you get away from all that completely.

>>2058724
so how is this game for anyone who has played it?

>>2058830
Well, that's not good to know then. And I went and backed it with 25$ too ;_;
My fault for not checking properly, now all I can do is hope it will turn out okay.

>>2059043
>now all I can do is hope it will turn out okay
Or you can ask for a refund: https://support.indiegogo.com/hc/en-us/articles/213172367
The campaign isn't over yet so it should be straightforward.

>>2055488
So it comes with a physical CD for the game I see. What's the Steam key card for though, is it just for activation or something?

>>2059098
Yes, a steam key is a key for activating a digital copy on steam. The disc is for the DRM-free version. Plus it comes with the soundtrack, an art book, and a yuribox to keep it all in. Definitely worth it.

>>2058724
It has better T&Cs, not to mention an actual tolerance of porn

>>2059104
I'd love to have the goodies, but I don't think I can afford to buy the game a second time, in USD, plus shipping fees to Canada.

FLOWERS thread >>2054878

Whoever isn't lazy at making a new Yuri Game Thread, make sure to add FLOWERS to the Related Threads in the opening post.

>>2059773
>We grew up

I'm sure there are a lot of people really sad about that.

>>2059774
It's a game with two lil girls who finally grew up to become the age of 10 so they can do the loving.

>>2059780

Fine then. That reduces the amount of people who are sad about it.

I know a particular yuri EVN in the making but the creator doesn't want to make it public yet. It's really interesting though and I can't wait till they announce it.
