Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus is out on PC, there's a thread but it's mostly about the anime: >>2012920
Recent interview had some details about Ne No Kami and possible sequels to Sacrament of the Zodiac: https://yurination.wordpress.com/2016/06/02/an-interview-with-ne-no-kami-developer-fenrivier/

Any news about some near future released big budget games with lesbian/bi content than just VN low budget types?

Mass Effect 4 in 2017?

>>2067197
Probably that crappy Mass Effect game that is upcoming.

>>2067209
>>2067210
>people will support this game

Sad times.

>>2067197
There are undoubtedly Western RPGs with /u/-related romance sidequests in production right now (as anons have pointed out already, the next ME game is the obvious example), but that's pretty much it. Business as usual.

>>2067211
Good games get support, even when angry /v/-anons don't like it. That's just how it is.

>>2067197
Outside of western RPGs, no chance. Considered too risky as anything above side stuff for AAA devs. But then these people thought the new Battlefield trailer wouldn't be popular.

>>2067213
>Good games get support

But this will get support, too, probably.

>>2067197
>>2067212
>Western RPGs

If I recall correctly, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is supposed to have some kind of romance with your partner. And Torment also might include something like that, though I doubt it's going to be full-blown romance.

>>2067213
I wouldn't count BioWare's latest offerings as good games. Yet they have enormous fanbases.

>>2067215
At least wait until a game actually _exists_ before declaring how much it sucks. I'm sure they'll give you ammunition in time.

I know kindred spirits sold really well in the west but what about Japan? It touched on things most Japanese Yuri fans never care about

>>2067218
>At least wait until a game actually _exists_ before declaring how much it sucks

It would take a complete 180 from their current ways (all of it. Not calling pandering or whatever, that's /v/'s shtick.).
I'm just going by track record. And the info we already got. Which isn't helping me build much confidence.
Of course, they COULD make a good game. Easily a great one. Thing is....see above

>>2067220
>It touched on things most Japanese Yuri fans never care about
Yeah, I'm sure you know all about Japanese Yuri fans and all those things they never care about, since you're our resident expert in the field of Japanology.

>>2067220
Well, it didn't feature on any sales ranking for 2012 so it wasn't any kind of hit relative to other eroge. Quite likely still sold above average for a Liar Soft game though.

>>2067240
> resident expert in the field of Japanology.
Nah, that's Verena Maser.

Not sure if that anon who wanted strawberry vinegar added me or not but i still have it ready to give away.

>>2067161
How gay is Sakura Dungeon?

Does the mc end up with any girl?

>>2067440
Its gay like really gay, the world is female only and yomi is literally the queen of lesbians. Game is a better version demon master chris

>>2067443
>better version
no loli however.

>>2067440
I'm pretty sure I'm near the end of it.

Game is girls only so everyone is a dyke. MC has tons of casual sex with the servants.

If you're talking about actual romance, I'm told the MC and the knight do end up together in the end. The romance between them thus far has been little more than teasing tho. There's a friend of the MC who is in love with her, but pretty sure that doesn't go anywhere. There's a random event where you meet two demons who are lovers, but you just beat them up and they go their merry way.

>>2067540
There are several other events showing other side characters being lovers, as well as plenty of dialog about girls wanting other girls or talking about past female lovers.
If you're looking for some sweeping, epic love story then you won't find it there. But if you want lots of girls being really gay and having lots of sex with each other, then you're in luck.

>>2067540
Is the MC an aggressor or the receiver?

God I loved the art in that game.
It really is a shame that so many best girls went underutilized.

And, maybe too many tentacle-like scenes

you girls played sakura fantasy? its low-budget but still pretty cute

>>2067617
The MC is pretty much always the aggressor, or the facilitator of others getting together. The knight is always the bottom, whoever shes matched up with.

Lavinia did NOTHING wrong!

>>2067067
>do people seriously fucking think that the people who make a game say to themselves "I don't want this game to unplayable when you aren't paying attention to it", "this is a game you can play without thinking"? Literal Idle RPGs and clickers aside (and I will never fucking understand those "games") can we just admit that sometimes a game just fails to be compelling?

It's true though. There are TONS of rpgs like this. Literally all those "hack'n slash" loot rpgs like Torchlight and whatnot are based around this. You don't have to pay a lot of attention in those games.
Any and all grinder are like that. Grind isn't just something that comes into existence by accident.
A lot of crawlers can also fall into this. Experience crawler for example tend to have RE you can speed through without even looking, though you may receive a wake-up call every now and then, but you usually see that at encounter start.

Depending on how strong these elements are, I call the games even "time-waster". Torchlight 1+2 are more or less the definition of that to me. Chris however does this as well, and reasonably well even. Not too frustrating, the grinding periods aren't too long and the battles have a basic system to them so you don't always just spam attack. It's however not a good system outside of that. Every battle is the same, bosses are little more than "grind checks" and so on. The most useful offensive ability is also pretty much "Attack", which is also an easy way to tell a turn-based system sucks. Those are usually at their best if the normal attack is never or only rarely useful. For a bunch of reasons.

>>2067639

The mimic stripped you good. I understand though. My Chris keeled the last two bossfights. For some reasons the bosses like to crit her to death all the time, while the other partymembers have 0 problems. Maybe it's the chocolate. They just can't resist Chris.

>>2067660

I've been playing Sakura Dungeon for several hours now and it has been a bliss so far staring at half-naked cute girls and their bits of interactions. But I'm not in for a surprise am I?

>>2067683
sorry i barely see yuri related image being posted there so.... yeah

Anyone know if 'Stranger of Sword City' has some kind of romances? You can choose gender. Supposedly.

>>2067693
I was equally worried, so I took a peek into the archived files. There are no men anywhere.

But as a footfag I'm a little disappointed all sprites end at the knee.

>>2067743
Thanks, good to hear.

>>2067732
No but given the custom portraits option you can now make a party filled with your favorite fiction lesbians

Onee-sama squad soon

>>2067732
It's a dungeon crawler, like Etrian Odyssey. So I guess you could make a party full of girls and imagine it's a yuri harem.

How is the grind in Sakura Dungeon anyway?

I remember DMC getting so bad at times hacks were going around like crack.

>>2067770
Depends on how you feel about grinds.
iIf you fight every random battle you shouldn't have a problem.
DMC really didn't feel very grindy when you had an auto fight button.
this game has an auto fight and a skip fight button.

>>2067770
I'm playing on hard and it feels much more manageable than DMC. If you just fight wild battles normally, the bosses should be doable in one or two tries. Near the late middle to endgame, some of the bosses are pretty wild and you either have to grind a bit or come back at a later point.

There's a decent amount of luck involved too. If a strong boss happens to enter flow state really early, you can sometimes just be straight fucked.

i've been playing dungeon for about 6 hours and i'm really enjoying it. it's not WC usual schlock where their reputation tends to precede them.

I haven't seen any mention of men and most of the girls tend to have some sort of lesbian tendency, ranging from crushes to sex, to mentions of past lovers. there are brightly colored dildos and anal in a lot of scenes if you can't stand those.

on normal mode i spend most of the battles on auto aside from boss monsters. some of the dungeons are a bit annoying, but the game does try to shake it up with new mechanics on each level. so far i haven't needed to grind on normal mode.

>>2067211
>>2067215
>>2067217
Dragon age inquisition was very good, and ME4 probably will be as well.

The main reason ME3 was bad was because they had no idea how to finish the plot started in ME1 and 2.

>>2067838
They did have a good idea, but they fired the series' main writer and scrapped that idea. So they had to scramble and come up with something new instead.
Look up the dark energy ending if you want to learn more.

>>2067838
>no idea how to finish the plot
where did they say that? it was obviously rushed after EA took over and wanted to push it out the door to maximize sales. look at the sheer difference in bioware titles pre-EA take over vs after.

>>2067838
>Dragon age inquisition was very good
No it wasn't

Extella english release

>>2067870
We know that Xseed already registered a website, so unless you have an official confirmation...

>>2067874
It got announced

>>2067881
Okay, jut saw the news. Summon Night 6 too. Hope Gaijinworks treats the (assuming there are any) same sex relationships better this time.

>>2067870
Do we have confirmed Yuri?

>>2067886
Don't bother in Japan they manage to restrict some of the options to romance characters its why the game didn't sell well in Japan and fans got mad.
>>2067888
The main characters are Atilla,Tamamo, and Whore of Babylon just pick FeMC as always

>>2067888
Confirmed to have gender selection, so for now it's probably safe to say as much as the PSP games. Probably won't know anything definite until after release.

>>2067811
>hard

Are the difficulties this time different to just adding/removing grind? Hard in DMC really made no sense, as it just cut exp/ether in half..

>>2067891
Not sure what you're trying to say, but if you mean the romance options in SN6 are limited, it is technically a crossover game using characters from past SN titles which might make it hard.

>>2067907
Its not just limited the players get rejected as well

>>2067443
>better
SD doesn't have that defence/rest/offence tactics DMC had which makes battles a lot less exciting and more dependent on luck or grinding or simply choosing the more efficient spells.

>>2067849
>>2067856
>where did they say that?
It's fairly obvious that they didn't to anyone who's played the games. I don't care what the reason for that is.

>>2067860
My condolences on your shit taste.

>>2067928

No. Def/Rest was more luck dependent. Plus the element was badly integrated anyway.

In the end you'd need to be high enough level to beat something. At that point you rest when you are low on AP, defend if you are high on AP and the enemy as well (which is the most fucking annoying part, as it's just a waiting game until the enemy FINALLY uses a high AP cost skill which can take a while..), and otherwise you mash the "Attack" skill, and pretty much nothing else.


As far as I understand it, they just lessened the annoying parts of DMC. I still have to play it myself, but all I heard so far doesn't sound worse, but rather better. I so hope the shitty "lol, low AP at start of encounter -> Enemy crits -> Clothes torn" thing will be gone. One of the reasons, why you actually had to be a decent level, as level influences crit-rate. If you aren't.. the dice just kicks you out of the dungeon sooner or later.

Well, I just finished Sakura Dungeon and can confirm it's 100% yuri. No male characters at all, the closest thing to a male in the entire game are a couple dildos.
There's not too much in the way of romance, but everyone's gay and has a lot of sex.

Fate/Extella confirmed localization

https://twitter.com/RPGSite/status/740228499391160320

Too bad CCC isn't getting translated. I'm gonna assume it's a whole new story then?

>>2067988
How long did you take?

>>2068004
Is there actual yuri in it? I know nothing about the FSN series.

>>2067928
I didn't like the rock/paper/siccors aspect of it. Most of the time you just guarded until the enemy used a costly attack, then wail on them.

In SD, you either do the above, or you build your CP meter which triggers a super mode and you have to watch out for the bosses own CP meter. Plus there's the new stat aliments and attack types.

I'm not saying it's a marvel of the battle system, but I found it a lot more enjoyable than DMC's.

On an offhand note, has anyone played Touhou Dungeon 2? Fuck me, now that was a battle system that blew me away.

>>2068018
My playtime is listed at ~26 hours, though some of that is from leaving it running in the background while doing other stuff. But there's a good 20+ hours of gameplay if you're a completionist and do some grinding, maybe more on harder difficulties.
All in all I found it quite enjoyable. Sure, a few things could've been done better, but it's a massive step forward from the developers.

>>2068318
Not that anon, but I also finished the game already (on abyssal, dunno if that even makes a difference) and unlocked all CG and party members (at least I think so), and I can say that there are no strapons.

I ended up dragging Sylvi and Maeve all the way into the endgame and EX even though they were crap, just so I could see more yuri dialogue. Maybe it's because I never used any seeds on anyone except Ceri, who became an immortal munchkin by the end. No scrolls used either as I wanted to keep slots open. Yeah, I'm a masochist.
Sylvi was consistently trying to openly flirt with MC all the way till the end, but I was a little disappointed that there wasn't really any Cera and Maeve yuri interaction that I was hoping to get. I dragged around Anubis and Ryuuou (which were great till the end unlike the other two) as well as the two main characters.


Might try to go through the cutscenes with a different set of characters and see if there are other yuri dialogue that I might've missed. So far I just avoided the dime-a-dozen party members since I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the less personal characters would have less yuri dialogue.

Also I was hoping the reaper twins would've fucked each other (yeah we know they do, just no cgs), and for something between Ryuuou's servants Tatsu and Yori, which I felt were somewhat neglected.

God damn, been a long while since I've played these types of games without a guide. It really takes a lot longer, having to double/triple/quadruple/etc check everything to make sure I'm not missing anything (hopefully).

And I'm a little sad I can't recruit the Big Bad. Or anyone in the EX dungeon except the shitty scumbag bounty hunter. I at least wanted a cool mecha musume in my party if not her minions...
Seems Izanami doesn't seem to be recruitable either...

>playing Sakura Dungeon
>beat up some random storeroom guards
>my random monstergirl minions suddenly launch into a discussion about the relative merits of their preferred tactics

If only DMC had been like this.

>>2068341
So, who was your favorite monster girl?

>>2068342
I really like how we get to hear from each monster in party for almost all noteworthy events.

>>2068341
I was also very disappointed by how little they used Sylvi. No outfits for her despite offering to wear things multiple times, no proper response from Yomi to her advances, and no real sex scenes. I also used her to the end, but felt she more or less pulled her weight. And I used the seeds mostly to buff Yomi, who becomes insanely powerful with good stats - one crit can send her into Flow.

As for other party members, I used the Sword Witch for a while after capturing her, and she had a lot of flirty lines and mentions of past lovers. And everything the Succubus says is sexually charged. I wish we could've run a bigger party, just to read more dialog from the companions.

>>2068376
>I wish we could've run a bigger party, just to read more dialog from the companions
That's what multiple playthroughs are for..

>>2068341
>Maybe it's because I never used any seeds on anyone except Ceri

>>2068423
This is hardly typing like madmen. Hell timestamps indicate a drop in activity pretty indicative of the americans without the most severe insomnia going to sleep. My post about magical diary came 2hrs after the post above it.

/u/'s usual high speed thread would be the avatar threads a couple months back. And the top speed was probably the LoK finale threads.

Also 2 days old is fucking nothing on this board. The low energy threads can last for months.

>>2068424

You mean years. We had at least one thread which got a one-year anniversary. /u/ is quite special indeed.

>>2068427
I wasn't sure if any of those were still kicking and hadn't managed to get bumped off the board.

>>2068422
Hermione/Snape had a huge fanfic following to begin with and the game played right into some of its favorite tropes, so the people it attracted were more likely to write about it.

On the other hand Virginia is the least popular love interest so nobody does any fanwork about her at all. You could be first.

anyone know if you can buy and gift alot of games through humble bundle or is that against the rules.

It seems they find it suspicious at the very least although not sure if its against the rules

>>2068424
Still, since roughly the end of last year the Yuri Game thread has consistently been in the top 3 of the faster-moving threads on /u/, if not the fastest at times. Before that they barely managed to breach into the top 10 from time to time.

I'm on the jap level where you have to run before the door get locked, how long until the end?

You know, for a game that promises to be almost all about monstergirls, Sakura Dungeon does have quite a few just ordinary girls. I mean, there's nothing particularly monstrous about some sword-swinging Warrior, right?

>>2068511
That's floor 15, so roughly halfway through the game's main story.
But there's also the post story stuff, which involves revisiting shit.

thank you, i'll go there and see.

also when is the second succubus battle? I'm past anubis and i haven't seen the succubus since.

>>2068601
She's near the end, the floor before the final boss.

I really wanted to take the bitchy noblewoman all the way, but it seems that the monsters only have dialogue for two or three floors after their join level, which I suppose is pretty understandable.

Still. That scene with her and the hammer was pretty cute I guess.

I sure hope more of these Fox Mikos, Monks and Succubi appear in the future because I couldn't capture the one example of each I've encountered so far.

>>2068643
They do.

>>2068643
Fox Mikos and Monks become regular enemies a couple floors after you first encounter them. You meet the Succubus again as one of the final bosses, and she's automatically recruited after you beat her then.

>>2068688
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to notice this, but you can view a floor map from the party screen to see which walls can even possibly have secret rooms.

>>2068689
Yeah they didn't hide the rooms very well, but still the statue is a little disappointing.

>>2068643
Updated the spreadsheet I posted earlier at >>2068404 with a list that shows which levels they spawn at.

>>2068692
You do notice a higher drop rate for scrolls and seeds, but it's not a massive boost. And given how big a deal they make about the statue, yeah, it's kind of underwhelming.
At least completing it unlocks a nice bonus scene, though.

nvm, I figured it out, fuckin hell the things I do for yuri...

>>2068867
Its known as "The Secret Route" for a reason...

Don't go in expecting much. After how amazing Yumei's route is, Nozomi's is a big let down.

BTW why the heck are you playing Akaiito in such low resolution? It's horribly scarring the gorgeous visuals.

>>2068921
Actually, I was playing with 5x native res. I switched it to native with anti aliasing and it looks a lot better now.

>>2068689
i can't get around without the full and floor map. i spent more time staring at the tiny crude pixel arrow than i did trying to navigate the "3d" backgrounds.

>>2068966
I also spent a lot of attempts trying to figure out the trick to that timed door puzzle before concluding it's impossible if you move with the arrow keys.

Is that actually the case or am I even worse at these things than I thought?

>>2068492
>While their dialogue lasted

This is annoying. You keep a favorite monster and they just stop talking after a while.

>>2069007
Annoying, but kind of understandable. I somehow doubt Sakura Dungeon had a big budget and a large team. It would take a lot of time and effort to write reactions for every monstergirl for every event. And, really, how many people are going to take Boar all the way to the endgame anyway?

>>2069007
Even worse is that you inevitably miss some comments because your party can't hold more members. They should have all the messages display if you have the monster captured but not in your party.

>>2069022
>They should have all the messages display if you have the monster captured but not in your party.
100% this.
Imagine my frustration when I had to bank the angel right after getting her because she had about 3 lines before her vow of silence . I ended up banking Yomi very early because no matter what she'd always appear in every dialogue anyway. I found myself saving and reloading going back and forth to the town with new girls to see any dialogue change, only to remember how mediocre the writing is anyway. At least Bonny made me smile.

Holy shit we're getting nurse love on Steam???
http://store.steampowered.com/app/485040/

>>2069068
OH MY GOD PRAISE BE

>>2069068
What the hell? Out of the fucking nowhere? I either had forgotten about it or was it never announced, at least here?

>>2069070
Yeah, out of absolute nowhere, it's bizarre. I generally keep up with this sort of thing and I had no idea.

>>2069070
Seems to be out of nowhere that Kogado announced a Steam version with English and Chinese translation

>>2069068

If the TL is good, that's something. Interesting that it's the newer one, though I given that I pretty much dropped the first one, I'm personally not sad about it. Probably the better choice.

Definitely a good idea for them to do this though. Yuri seems to be reasonably popular on steam, right? Now if the TL isn't terrible.. could work.

>>2069073
>>2069074
Either they have an incredibly crappy marketing department or something is fishy is going on here. Any anon should check the Steam refund policy before considering buying it.

>>2069076
It just seems to be Japanese led, and they aren't going to be used to how stuff is announced. Seems like they got a press release to famitsu,com though.

>>2069076
It's published by Degica so I think it's legit.

>>2068848
Oh, only 8 days away huh.

Damn, I'm so far behind on yuri games...but I'll still buy it.

>>2069068

>>2069089
Nips trying too hard to be white. The reverse weaboo.

By the way, the director says how HakuAi does will set the course for Kogado's other titles on whether they will be released on steam as well. I take this as everything else getting English. So buy the fuck out of this, everyone.

>>2069068
This is great! I wonder if they will bring to us Hakuisei Ren'ai Shoukougun too.

>>2069096

Assuming the localization isn't butchered.

>>2069120
I hope so. This will cost around 40€. That price after coversion is too high for me. Is it as good as Kindred Spirits? And what does this "Bittersweet love between girls" in the description even mean?

>>2069130

>>2069130
>And what does this "Bittersweet love between girls" in the description even mean?
It's a wild ride. A bit too wild: I think it gets a bit too daft to really be bittersweet. It took some of the twist elements of ShiroKoi and turned them up to 11.

Well, I guess it was worth fansubbing the trial version of Hakuai after all. I also fansubbed the whole 5 hour demo of Lilycle Rainbow Stage!!!, which just got released 2016-4-28. Maybe that'll get picked up next year too.

Just two things I have from looking at what was posted on steam: The main heroine is named "Asuka," not "Asky," and the steam description could've been worded much better, as the semi-colon got misused several times (probably punctuation errors in the game as well). Despite that, the translation looks all right after comparing the original with the posted photos.

Even if I didn't know Japanese, I'd still risk checking out Hakuai. The slice of life with Asuka as the lead, silly as she is, is quite fun and endearing.

Asuka: Ms. Ohara brushed my bangs aside with her fingers and... her lips touched my forehead.

>>2069198
"Asky" is obviously how they're localizing Nao calling her お姉ちゃん

>>2069200
They should've kept it as Onee-chan. Asky sounds moronic.

>>2069201
These sorts of things are always subjective as to whether it sounds less moronic than leaving Japanese untranslated.

>>2069205
Asky makes it sound like she keeps asking questions nonstop.

>>2069209
Well yes, but it also sounds like a cute nickname. Of course, that makes her character into the sort of person who invents cutesy nicknames.

Is this in the true ending for her too?

>>2069233 Spoilers are there for a reason.

>>2069233
It is her true ending. There's more it such that it doesn't pan out as bad as it sounds.

>>2069021
Plenty of reason to take Bunny or Slime all the way, though. It'd be a lot of dialogue in one sense, but it's a few throwaway lines in another per person, how hard is that really?

I would have assumed it was all the companies that produced and translated them.

Access to an easy audience that produces a big burst of sales in English caused the rush to translate.

So no, it's not single-handed, but Steam is relevant.

Steam gave them a place where their games could easily reach an audience. I think Kickstarter has also helped a lot by taking out the risk factor.

>>2069438

Does that actually have any rescuing in it, or is it just a /u/ platformer?

I remember a half-assed attempt at a princess-rescuing platformer in the yuri jam but I don't think it was completed

There's also the Mighty Switch Force Hose game where you're sort of rescuing cute girls but it's not really yuri. Or you can play Spelunky as a girl avatar and rescue damsels and get kisses but there's no development there

>>2069453
There is some rescuing going on, yes.

Is this boom of translated yuri stuff on steam exclusive to yuri or is het/yaoi getting stuff too?

Just wondering. If so, was it Kindred Spirits that kicked this all into gear?

>>2069468
It was one of the big licenses but a lot of this went into motion long before it was actually released, if that's what you're asking

Do we have any actual sales figures? I mean, this is big from our parched point of view, but Steam's Steam.

>>2069497
We know is that Kindred Spirits' localization sold more than either MangaGamer or Liar-Soft expected. But it probably owed many of its sales to being an "uncensored" VN on Steam, so I'm not convinced either Flowers or Nurse Love Addiction will reach the same numbers (not to mention both of them are off to a bad start, for different reasons).

Feels like similar reasons to me. Flowers is being retranslated from scratch, while Nurse Love Addiction needs some serious editing and to reconsider some of their localization choices, like Asky.

>>2069804
Can we tell if they need some serious editing yet? Their biggest issue is coming out of nowhere, potentially making it hard for the sales to benefit. Especially when it's expensive.

So sakura dungeon had a nice scene where yomi and ceri make love but NONE for maeve x ceri or sylvi x yomi. How can WC be such a tease with a hentai game?

Games have over-localisations like this quite often, and overall not enough people seem to actually care for it to be changed. Bugs the hell out of me, though.

I get you people liked Sakura dungeon's intricate gameplay, but what about the sex, does it have too much dildo action?

>>2069966
a bit too much.

>>2069966
You could argue that it was a bit over reliant on toys, but there were still a bunch of scenes without any. The bigger issues for me was that the scenes were generally too short, there were too many solo masturbation scenes that Yomi should've gotten involved in, and it would've been nice to get a few more emotionally meaningful scenes, rather than romps and one night stands.

>>2069966
it has a lot of dildos. they're all female controlled or for masterbation, so it never bothered me like 'this is an appendage for a guy to self insert on'.

small price to pay for the game that has a shitton of yuri only orgies and threesomes.

>>2069967

They are. They just kept it quiet.

>>2069984
Anon's willing to play Sakura Dungeon despite a couple of misgivings specifically because it doesn't shoehorn a male in while most other games do. Basically a case of scarcity leading to lowering of standards.

>>2069969
Funny how, a pair of random monsters and your seemstress get more emotional scenes than your main characters.

Using lines like (she glows) instead of *glows* should be fixed. The way they have it now makes it sound like something the character whispers or is thinking rather than something they're doing.

>>2070205
To be honest that's pretty clumsy as well. It should just be added in as its own line of narration. The thought makes her cheeks bloom blah blah blah. Emotes aren't exactly appropriate in any kind of prose you'd be expected to pay for, barring some extreme stylistic decision to make your prose emulate twitter comments which hardly seems the case here.

I dunno if the Japanese version was equally incompetent on this point though.

>>2070211

It's actually sometimes expressed in Japanese. Which can't really be translated. It's because Japanese kinda use.. "soundeffects" and such in their speech anyway. I.e. "doki doki", which everyone should know. If a character just says that, outside of a sentence, it pretty much implies they feel like that.. for the most part at least. How realistic that is.. I have no idea. But it happens in fiction at least. As a translation you should probably just make another sentence to showcase that emotion. Or something like that.

>>2070195
translation never?

>>2070211

Judging from his twitter he is still actively developing something, although I didn't look into it enough to see if it seems like the same game. Interestingly he seems to have noticed last years yuri jam, as well as some of the western made yuri games on steam.

Finished Seabed and wow what a ride it was in the second half. To be honest I kinda expected more mystery and it ended up being 90% SoL, but I like that too so didn't mind at all.

Although I'm left with a feeling that Narasaki was the main character, especially in the latter parts. I mean, technically speaking it's no different, but still.

And yeah, I don't think I read anything like this before, definitely not in /u/-related stuff.

Can you all explain to me what is so peculiar about Seabed? As fard as I know, it's a story of a couple who fall out of love due to one of them gradually losing her memory of the other, and is predominantly a series of flashbacks, the current life of each girl and their friends, right?

>>2070539
While losing - or, rather, restoring memories is a major plot point in the game, the story is completely different although what you said did actually happen to one of the side characters a long time ago. But it's true that there's quite a lot of flashbacks and in present time the main characters have their separate stories. If you want some spoilers, scroll https://tanoshimi.xyz/2016/04/16/ever17-review/ below all of the blabber to where the actual review begins, it has a nice synopsis (yes, that's somehow the correct URL).

The story is kinda unexciting between the prologue and the midpoint - but the characters are nice so to me it was fun to read the daily life scenes (I can easily see how that may be boring to others, though) and the story does pick up steam towards the end - with one big twist that you don't quite see coming because you're looking elsewhere.

Aside from the mystery, you don't often get a story about a mature yuri couple in the first place, and there's some office hijinks, mansion hijinks, lots of traveling, some mildly philosophical contemplations and a lot of discussions about mundane things. And the eerie aura of "just how far does the rabbit hole go". I don't think I can explain it well, but it's definitely something different, to the point where whether you think it's good or not at all is even more ridiculously subjective than usual.

>>2070678
Soooo, do they get back together in the end? Or do they continue with their respective lives and new lovers? And only one ending? Can't read moon and I shy away from those kind of plots, but I gotta know if they get their happy ending.

>>2070707
The ending is very bittersweet and whether you consider it a happy ending or not is subjective to your view on the essence of the characters in the story; the same goes for the getting together part. It's not a non-ending though, everything's properly resolved. And they definitely still very much love each other by the end of it. Also yes, there's only one ending, there are no choices in the game and frankly speaking it's just a normal novel accompanied with music and pictures.

Sure is hard to talk about this game without outright spoiling the entire plot...

how soon until Seabed is localized?

>>2071049
has anyone tried requesting it?

Does this chocolate mimic have any lines? I only just picked her up and she doesn't say anything.

>>2071114
give her another floor or 2 and she talks for the rest of the game.

>>2071049
If you look at it realistically, it's a game that before the recent Doujin game of the year conference (where it did win in the roughly speaking SoL category) sold just 200 copies (~1000$). And there's ~11 hours of Japanese text. Nobody would ever bother.

Then again, if you can convince the devs and have at least one more translator, I could find the time to help out.

>>2071332
The devs have already rebuffed suggestions of putting it on sale on the English dlsite as is, so it'd be an uphill battle to convince them to actually get it translated.

Even if you did, I still hold doubts on whether the writing style can be replicated. Not that it's impossible to translate, but doing so while keeping that aloof feeling for the entire game is going to be quite a feat.

>>2071344
Of course the writing style can't be replicated, but then it's always the case when you actually have a distinct writing style in the original text. Doesn't really stop stuff from being translated, just puts a burden on translating/editing to maintain some important aspects. You'll lose something, it's unavoidable, but you gain a wider reach which is I'd say worth it.

In this particular case, the one thing you'd have to keep in mind is that it's written more like the person who's narrating is reading a diary rather than retelling the events, that probably helps create said aloof feeling. So as long as that's maintained it's pretty translatable, and it's not a very Japanese story in the first place which makes things easier in regards to localization.

But if the devs don't want it, can't be helped. And as it's a doujin game with few sales as it is, having an unofficial patch would likely hurt more than it could help.

In other game-related stuff, pretty fun that there is actually a NSFW CG in the game archive that's not in the game itself

>>2070711
Can you spoil the entire plot anyway? There're many people who can never into moon.

I don't see how.

>>2071443
There will most likely be a pirated copy floating around and even the few people who could've bought it would just download it, including, probably, Japanese players. Seriously, if it was just a bit more popular this wouldn't have been a problem, but just 200 sales...

Maybe I'm wrong though, I'm usually on the opposite side of this argument.

>>2071445
So, rather than risk them pirating it, you'd rather things remain as they are, with nobody buying it.

I'm trying not to be sarcastic here. They only got 200 sales because of lack of exposure. More exposure isn't going to hurt them any, especially at this point.

>>2071447
True enough, to be honest I completely agree, but they'd have to bring it to EN DLsite at least and they don't seem to want to do it. I know many people have problems buying from JP DLsite, thankfully worked just fine for me.

>>2071449
On Steam it would surely get more exposure(I don't know if the game is R-18 though).

Anyone know more about this game? It's on /v/'s wiki, so I'm not sure if it's full-on yuri or if there's het in the mix.
http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/PC-98

>>2071492
Looking at e-hentai gallery, I've got no idea why vndb is saying it is girls love only when there's clearly a hetshit bondage scene. But other than that, it seems as though it actually contains a romance between two girls. Also, the het girl dies.

>>2071492
There's futa twins and het rape

>>2071332
>>2071344
>Nobody would ever bother.
A now deleted tweet from a Sekai Project employee's account implied they would be bringing it over.

>>2071549
Seriously? Any screenshots left or something?

>>2071549

Like Sound of Drop? I'm looking forward to terrible Engrish then!

>>2071503
Few people have played all the games in order to tag vote accurately. They make guesses.

If it's MOSTLY yuri and has an incidental het scene, it might still qualify as a low rating on the yuri-genre tag scale. Anything less than 2.0 is a questionable qualifier, as far as I know, and therefore might include futa, or have almost no romance at all. Anything less than 1.0 is probably "yuri-ish with strong reservations". At least, in an ideal world where a lot of people were voting.

I skipped through the youtube video of the conference mentioned by >>2071332. The SeaBed relevant parts I noticed:

>>2071549
I don't know if that will ever amount to anything, but I wouldn't be that surprised if it did end up getting a translation. I liked it enough that even I kind of want to translate it, and I don't generally care about EOPs.

>>2071575
VNDB defines "Yuri" as "contains female to female sex scenes", the existence of notyuri should not affect the score unless the people tagging with it are doing so incorrectly. Mostly yuri with one het scene could very easily be a 3.0, in the same way that a VN with a lot of het and a single yuri scene would still qualify as a 3.0 for whatever het tags it has.

There are tags for only yuri (Girls Love Only) and tags for romance between girls (Shoujo Ai) but that second one is not used nearly as often as it should be, I assume due to its name. The aliases for it are Yuri Romance and Girls Love which fit much better but I don't know who calls the shots when it comes to that stuff so I don't know who to blame.

SubaHibi for example has a 2 in Yuri but does not have Shoujo Ai listed at all despite all (3?) of the yuri sex scenes being at the end of different romantic routes with gay endings. SubaHibi also has 500 votes, so it isn't like it is undertagged due to unpopularity.

>>2071599
>in the same way that a VN with a lot of het and a single yuri scene would still qualify as a 3.0 for whatever het tags it has

Yeah, but it wouldn't qualify as a 3.0 for Yuri if it was just the one scene.

If a game is tagged Girls Love Only but has only a 1.0 or less in that tag, it probably contains some het or is all futa or something. Something that makes it relevant to the yuri genre but not a proper example.

It's impossible to have a binary tag (either TOTALLY YES or TOTALLY NO) on that system, and there's nobody in charge, so it all boils down to how people use it.

I know a lot of people don't bother to tag a game 'Shoujo Ai' if it already has the Yuri tag on it. I don't think you're actually required to tag it Shoujo Ai if it has Girls Love Only because it's a nested tag, though I'm not sure. And of course when some tags are added later than others people don't think to go back and tag previous works, and if a game is already covered in tags people don't necessarily bother adding every possible tag that matches... and my personal opinion of what the tags mean isn't going to match every other user, and so on.

basically you can't expect it to be completely accurate, just a ballpark

>>2071604
She failed to have a route in which she trains Sara as a sex slave.

>>2071549
Well if they already had an arrangement with SP tha might explain why they'd be against the idea of putting it up on dlsite.

>>2071605
>Yeah, but it wouldn't qualify as a 3.0 for Yuri if it was just the one scene.

Well yeah, of course. Generally anything that only contains one small example of something should not and will probably not be a 3.0 unless that thing is very specific and/or rare, or just one person is tagging it wrong.

Ideally something that is rated 1.0 Girls Love Only would still be only yuri, but the romance would be secondary or not very important to the work as a whole, maybe even have an equal gender ratio cast but no het and some yuri. Of course that does not mean it will work out that way, but that is how it should be. If you are ever not sure if a tag actually applies or not you can check to see who has tagged it and what they tagged it as, and consider things with one positive vote suspicious and things with positive and negative to be probably wrong.

Yeah, adding Shoujo Ai on something that fits under Girls Love Only would be slightly incorrect since the later is just a more specific version of the former, but Shoujo Ai/Girls Love Only can still coexist with the Yuri tag under vndb's definitions and guidelines. But of course as we have said if people think Yuri and Shoujo Ai are the same tag, or just (rightfully) dislike the term Shoujo Ai, it is unlikely to be used where it should be.

USUALLY if something is very popular the tags will be accurate but not always, if something only has a few votes you might want to take a look at the modify tags tab to see the number of people voting on those tags. This has the disadvantage of revealing spoiler tags to you though.

>>2071610

It's unlikely that SP talked to them before anyone ever new about this in the first place. The DLsite thing happened quite a while ago, around the time when the first few people of the English VN scene read it.

>>2071602
Sites like AniDB and Mangaupdates also still use the term. I'm guessing it would take too much effort to change it, and it's too ingrained in the commoners' plebeian minds at this point.

>>2071660
You could always start threads on VNDB whining about it, if enough people complain they might at least switch which word is the 'preferred' alias

There's really no excuse for the devs putting the resolution of these below 1920x1080. Luckily, a bit of neural networks can mostly fix that.

For someone who played the shit out of DMC is Sakura Dungeon worth picking up?

>>2071760
Yes.

>>2071753
Is there anywhere where these sources can be acquired? They're definitely not in the game.

>>2071763
Well I'm convinced.

>>2071771
I'll try:
+ Updated DMC battle mechanics
+ better pacing
+ more monster variety
+ more interesting level layouts
+ much more cg
+ much more conversations, especially with different members in party
+ Game engine seems to be less laggy
+ continue farming your shit after completing everything that can be done
+ more music
+ better interface/controls
+ yuri shall conquer the dungeon

- need less solo and more yuri events
- no more "get raped every dungeon" events

>>2071744
I really like the cute mimic but all I can think here is yeast infection.

>>2071783
Sugar Free chocolate is a thing.

>>2071779
>no more "get raped every dungeon" events
I was actually pretty fond of this. The slime one was one of the most arousing scenes in the game. But the rest sounds good and it's my birthday this week anyway, so I should have some birthday money to spend. Thanks anon!

>>2071765
Not sure, maybe they came from Winged Cloud's Patreon or something.

>>2071786
It doesn't sound like a very nice thing, though.

>>2071791
The most notable properties of chocolate do not come from sugar. They come from cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Sugar Free solid chocolate comes in two forms. Unsweetened baking chocolate and chocolate that uses sugar substitutes.

There's also archaic drinking chocolate that doesn't use any sweetener.

>>2071794
There's also yuri fox magic that protects from STDs and whatnot.

Here you go, waifu2x'd em all.

So what you're saying is that either it's not sweet or it tastes like aspartamine. In other words, not a very nice thing.

>>2071823
Sweeteners other than aspartame exist. I've had chocolate sweetened with xylitol that was quite good.

You liked that part? But there was no girl and only some unnecessary penetration.

>>2071861
>>2071787
Yeah DMC had pretty shitty scenes, this game is a major improvement.

Is there any game with cool, dark plot like Sengoku no Kuroyuri? I can only think of Tokyo Necro, even if half of the game is about the dude. Atlach-Nacha comes close but both yuri girls were raped by men at some point.

Is fault /u/ relevant?

>>2071949
No

I've played Sakura Dungeon for a bit, are all the lewd scenes gonna be about 10 lines each? Also is there any variation in them? 3/3 scenes of generic dildo in vagina is pretty boring, especially since I'm not a fan of dildos in my porn anyway (strap-ons are fine, regular ones are boring).

um, lurker here, Shoujo Ai, can you explain the distaste for the term? I don't use it, but it would be good to know, so I don't make a stupid mistake in the future.

>>2071949
>>2071957
Is it, like, an otome or is it just not romance-related?

If the lead girls are at least friends that's just fine by me, though

>>2072008
Shoujo Ai in reference to light/non-explicit yuri is a category invented by the Western fanbase that has no basis in Japan. Japan doesn't differentiate between explicit and not, yuri is yuri. And 'shoujo ai' refers to pedophilia in Japan (literally 'love of little girls.')

>>2072008
Yuri is also known as GL or Girls' Love.
Then some weaboo came along and thought he watched enough animu to be an expert in Nipponese and decided to translate Girls' Love to Shoujo Ai (girl -> shoujo, love -> ai) which supposedly means something more like pedophilia.
Since the japs don't use it, there is no reason why others should either since it just unnecessarily makes things more confusing and retarded.

>>2072011
Not romance related, and at least in the first game, almost zero time spent on the friendship bonding that the description would lead you to expect.

So yes, they are friends, but you don't really get to enjoy that either. They're basically just a framing device for the real story, NOT the lead characters.

I haven't seen a detailed breakdown of milestone 2 yet.

>>2072008
You have to go back to the history of the term to understand this.
Back when Yuri and Yaoi started as genres, they were used to describe all the type of stories no matter how explicit or not they were. On the other side, Shoujo Ai (lit. Girl Love) and Shonen Ai (lit. Boy Love) were first used in Japan to mean Lolicon and Shotacon respectively (and straight in both cases, no relation to Yuri or Yaoi). I think somewhere in the 70s some Japanese mangaka and editors started slowly appropriating Shonen Ai to describe and advertize stories that featured something best described as romantic friendships between guys. This use of the term stuck, and nowadays both Shonen Ai and Yaoi are used in Japan (though not necessarily to differentiate between how explicit a work is). On the other hand, Shoujo Ai didn't undergo such a semantic drift, and to this day is still understood as Lolicon in Japan.

Later on when Yaoi was imported in the West, the terms Yaoi and Shonen Ai were used to differentiate between explicit and non-explicit works. Then later again it was Yuri's turn to be imported in the West, and by folk etymology the terms Yuri and Shoujo Ai were used to differentiate between explicit and non-explicit works, in a similar way as Yaoi and Shonen Ai were already used.

As you can see some anons apparently consider this usage of Shoujo Ai an heresy, apparently forgetting that languages have been borrowing words from each others and changing their meaning for millenia, and that neither Japanese nor English are exceptions to this phenomenon.

>>2072011
The devs have explicitly said they don't want it to be yuri, so while most of the characters are girls, it's not going to go that direction.

>>2072036
If you've been around long enough you may also remember way back when people were differentiating between 'hentai' and 'etchi' - by which they meant the really HARDCORE stuff, since that word sounded scarier than hentai did. for a while on the big sites, "etchi" was /d/ and then some.

>>2072058
Seriously? So not just 2, but 3 different ways of writing one Japanese word (H, ecchi and etchi) were used for different things, none really the same as the Japanese meaning.

>>2072036
thanks for writing that out, that was actually interesting

>>2072036
While I understand your point about language divergence, adopting standards established by ignorance is not a good idea.

Eg. If some plebs who know nothing about flowers start calling lilies "blue roses" and popularize this misnomer, they'd still be incorrect no matter how popular the term gets among the ignorant. It wouldn't be too big a deal if "blue roses" weren't used by anything, but certain roses are called "blue roses" too.

After hundreds of years, eventually they'd be right.

>>2072137
Medabots Girls Mission was supposed to be promising but it is only in Japanese.

>>2072136
As the English language has no regulating body deciding its standards, what is "correct" English is essentially what has become common usage. Shoujo Ai's case is in no way unique, you can find in any English dictionary words that are directly taken from other languages where they mean something different. But since these words have been used like that in English for sometimes centuries, today nobody cares or even knows.

Are there any actual couples in Sakura Dungeon?

>>2072253
not how you want. it's not the right game to play if that's what you're after.

>>2072144
Wouldn't the unambiguous way be to refer to the birds by their scientific latin name? That's why those names exist. Yuri doesn't have latin name agreed upon by the scientific community AFAIK though.

>>2072154
Yes, I know this is how living languages work. That doesn't mean you shouldn't resist dumb changes. "Literally" as a word has lost all usefulness because people constantly use it when they want its opposite meaning "figuratively" for example. So if I say that I literally ate my hat in anger, you can't even tell if I'm exaggerating or I actually did cut up my hat, battered the pieces, deep fried it and downed it with wine, because both meanings have equal weight in "common usage".

>>2072269
The 'literally' fuckup annoys the hell out of me precisely because it makes it harder to get its actual meaning across.

On the other hand if an English speaker says 'shoujo ai', it's not very ambiguous what they mean.

>>2072268
That's unfortunate to hear. It's disappointing when Demon Master Chris had a relationship forming, especially if you got the True End.

>>2072273
Most of the Sakura Dungeon CG are random hookups, even if the other party has genuine interest in the character they have a scene with. There are a few scenes that are exceptions though. Ceri and Yomi have a few scenes together, Isabella the inkeeper and Charlotte the shopkeep are a thing, and Hammer and the Noblewoman/Goth Lolita have a thing too.

Right now I'm checking to see how many scenes are optional.

>>2071999
IIRC, you won't get a lot of non-dildo scenes. I think the ratio is about 2/3 dildos.

>>2072279
I'm near the end.

...Did Sylvi ever get a chance...?

>>2072284
>...Did Sylvi ever get a chance...?
If you mean with Yomi, then no. Sylvi's only scenes are with the Genie and Forest Spirit and other one with the Slime monster.

I'm kinda disappointed that certain characters had no scenes, while characters I didn't really care for had several.
