You can argue stuff like Telltale and the like are the equivalents I guess.

I played through the demo already, not giving this trash another moment of my time

>>385551553
Because the west had so many adventure games that the market crashed before people realized you could strip out the puzzles and market them to lonely dweebs.

In my experience, i only enjoy a VN were choice matters and i'm not reading a book. but even then, I rarely touch them because I have a lot more fun with games where I can do more than picking choices and such.

Don't appeal to SJWs or normalfags so it's hard for them to sell in the west.

They are getting more popular though. See Manga Gamer.

I haven't seen a English made vn with good art yet. I think they could slowly gain popularity over here if the standards were higher.

Also for some reason every project produced by people takes about as long as a jap vn takes to get translated.

The dude making this should really hire a few more code monkeys.

Sameface makes it a VN with bad character art, it does not change the genre.

I'm not so sure it's down to awareness. I think a big part of it is that we don't really have a doujin scene. We have furries that do art for money, we have people who write erotic Star Trek fanfiction, but we don't really have people organizing and working together on something. We do have Patreon, which has lead to some developments, but we still don't have anything like Comiket. I think before we can have a big commercial visual novel industry, we need something smaller and less commercial for people to dip their feet in and network before starting a company and alienating themselves from their Judeo-Christian value having family and friends.

>>385555634
They're just different. The art and especially the music in a VN can really enhance the experience in a way you don't get with books, but VNs obviously tend to be much shorter than books.

I never really give a shit about VN aside from porn scenes (if present) in which I'll just hop over to the gallery mode.
I'm not a fan of reading books so how much more with this one. Yes it has visuals and maybe a choice or two but in the end, I never really get engaged with it which will just result into me closing the program. If ever I want to engage myself with reading, I'd stick with regular books since I can read a portion or a chapter in-between breaks,loading screens, and such without the need to close my game and open another program.

Never read any but for me they always looked unappealing. They aren't games and they don't look like they really incorporate visual storytelling into it at all like a comic book does. What I mean is that it looks like it is mostly portraits of characters talking to each other and maybe changing faces/posture with a backdrop but that is about it.

The good VN's tend to use the visuals purely to supplement already good writing

Everything you read takes place in your imagination like it would with a book, but the visuals allow you to picture it much more clearly

Too many people try to treat it either as a novel or as a movie, rather than a reasonable mix of the two

Most westerners have access to the internet so they don't need to buy a "game" for porn.
I mean I just looked it up and found an entire readthrough of this "game" on Pornhub.

People view them as elaborate PowerPoint slideshows. Normies don't want watch a slideshow with massive amounts of text while clicking yes or no every so often for a sex scene. It's much easier to watch regular old hentai.

it's happening

>>385560793
Yeah no, not Fujoshit. Like an actual good game.

Seriously I need to get on this since it's a good opportunity all I need is a team and some funding.

What can you do? Program, write, draw, or be the """""ideas guy"""""

>>385560783
Im passing up some updates myself, but I'm pretty sure thats not actually from the game. I think the only thing you would have missed is the sister's content and maybe the prostitute in the mall

>tfw already work professionally in art, but deadlines and other stuff are a bitch, plus overbearing bosses and shit teams
>could easily do a VN like this with better art
But how do people handle the shame? Is it really worth to become excommunicated with your family and friends for money? Thats the only thing keeping me from making the jump.
The shame alone brings me nightmares.

Do none of you read non-pornographic VNs?

So whos the best girl?

>>385561181
No, I read books.

>>385561109
>What can you do?
Nothing, because literally every time I see someone saying, "Hey, I could do that." they are either too lazy to do anything or don't actually possess the skill they thought they had.

Not sure which group Anon falls into.

>>385560973
hire me fám you can feed me on a diet of potatoe and skittles and I'll pitch you ideas on (good) fetishes

>>385561179
A pseudonym?

>>385560564
>why can't anyone finish a game?
because they make these games not to finish them but to siphon money before the patreon bubble pops

>>385561181
I don't have a preference, since I don't play nukige I just consider any sex scenes part of the experience, whether they're there or not.

>>385561059
Dream Daddy is a meme and only sjws think it isnt

>>385561181
Why would I? If I want a good read I'll read a book. Visual novels are for jerking it.

old hag with large saggy boobs!

You can use a pseudonym to get paid.
Plus youd need to form an LLC for legal security, and your name is public.
PLUS patreon has had many data leaks in the past revealing the name of artists and their residences.

the sister, obviously

Yeah. If I need a fap I read a doujin. Lots more varied pictures in different poses rather than the same cg with dick outside vag/dick inside vag/cumshot variations like most vns seem to do.

guys, guys, guys, here's a thought.
why not just look up the CG sets for VN porn and fap to that instead of paying for them or going through god awful gameplay?

>>385561490
Looks like it.

>>385561592
porn is more interesting with a story

>>385560609
is that a older steven universe?

Porn is better with a story that sets up blackmail/rape/mindbreak

>>385561473
