While I agree that Miko and Hanamura Mai have a quite similar artstyle, I don't see how Yuiga Satoru and RiRi are similar to those. Especially the former, since she uses those weird patterns for the hair, and generally has softer art and coloring.

>>145871509

>>145871579
The designs of the boys are pretty different, especially those in CollarxMalice are quite unique. I don't see the similarity.
If you mean the body types and age, you should be used to those since they're almost always around the same for Otome games.

What I don't like most about these designs, is that when they try to be original, they just end up looking like tacky clusterfucks.

>>145871579
>>145872047
You know guys, it'd be easier if you'd write about actual examples. They're like 7 different games posted already.

The only thing tacky on the shota is the stupid twin buns. I'm pretty sure the other guy is specifically supposed to look tacky.

>>145876141
They always come in here and shitpost. Don't worry about it and ignore them

>>145872047
I don't know what it is with Japan and overdesigning.

And even when you put that aside these guys just look plain ugly. Eyes too close together, faces too narrow, bodies deformed having not enough chest definition or leg shape, perspective goes off when drawn at an angle. It's all the same shit. The only difference is the amount of filters and saturation in the coloring.

I like Kagero's though.

>>145877186
I'll ask again, why are you even in here if you think 95% of Otome guys are ugly?

>>145878002

Is >>145876249 beyond your reading comprehension?

>>145878265
Considering Otome is about romancing cute boys, not liking how they look kinda defeats the purpose.
Or do you want to tell me you play them for the story?

>>145878002
>>145878450
Anon, just ignore them. I doubt they even like anything /blog/ related, they are just here to shitpost.

>>145878450
Why have you gotten to aggressive and defensive over people not liking these designs?

>>145878789
I'm just wondering, anon.

>>145878450
Boy are not only about appearance, you silly woman. Furthermore, Otomate is not the only one who makes otome games.

>>145878556
Posting opinions you don't agree with is not shitposting.

>>145878789

We've got a bunch of newfriends lately and a lot of the older posters are fucking off because this thread's gone to shit

>>145879070
>Otomate
The publisher has almost nothing to do with the art except difference in budget and policy of who to hire, except maybe in cases like Takuyo, when they use the same artist for many works.
Especially Otomate uses a quite wide variety. Which admittedly also means lots of newbies, but that's not a bad thing in my opinion. And there also using amazing artists like Kagero, Hanaura Mai, Kazuki Yone and Teita, which are in my opinion one of the best Otome artists.
Is there any company you have in mind that almost exclusively uses amazing artists?

I'll agree with you on the appearance thing, but I still think it's an important thing. I don't think I could enjoy lighthearted games if I thought the boy designs were all ugly.

>>145879070
Yeah a handful of their regular artists have similar styles. I assume they look for them on purpose so the assistant artists can do more work for cgs and the like.

>>145880216
Otomate is a developer as well as a publisher. Takuyo too.

>>145880140
It's summer. And I keep seeing people refer to us when I curiously browse around.

>>145880140
>>145882428
/blog/ has never been a place of quality though. Occasionally someone will share something or there'll be a discussion but it's rare.

>>145883397
reminds me, as someone who occasionally shares stuff, I get a lot of download count even on games that I thought would be more obscure, yet the thread is always dead. and when those games are discussed it just feels like me and one or two other people.

I don't get it.

>>145880216
>Kagero, Hanaura Mai, Kazuki Yone and Teita

The others are fine too, but personally I feel only Kagero and Kazuki Yone are truly remarkable (and even they didn't start out at 10/10 either). Going for newbies can help lesser known gems get some spotlight, but the downside is that you can end up with a bunch of games with bland designs. And the responsibility doesn't fall only on the artist, since in the end it's the company who gives the okay on what their games look like.

>Is there any company you have in mind that almost exclusively uses amazing artists?

Does Kadokawa count? Or maybe Red too, even though with SRX the guys can look reptile-like at some angles.

>>145883781
Games are long, most just add them to their backlog, many play just two or three hours a day, even more have a collection of games they haven't played yet.
And most don't really write about the games when they play it.

Which reminds me.
I'd love seeing more impressions. No matter what, I like reading through them.
So if you feel like it, please write about what you're playing, or at least post some screenshots.

>>145883781
Maybe people who haven't read the game yet still downloaded your stuff anyway? Maybe curious EOPs?

I still swear that it feels like there's a lot more EOPs hanging around than those strawpolls suggest.

>>145883781

People always bitch when I talk about shit so I stopped talking about shit.

>>145884192
oh, I meant misc content for said games, rather the games themselves. I'd actually understand high count if it was the game itself

just seems a little odd that I get high count for other content when only a couple people seem that invested otherwise.

>>145883781
It's been shown at times that we have more lurkers than posters. Plus some might not currently being playing /blog/ games, or are playing but have not completed enough to discuss the games.

I don't know how those anons fully completed Shirayuki or Kenka Bancho Otome or Period Cube in a week

>and even they didn't start out at 10/10 either
Artists get better with time. Which is why I like that Otomate are picking up so many newbies with potential. But yeah, it has its downsides.
I personally think the anatomy is more of a problem than designs, but maybe I'm just less picky. I like stuff like double buns and rainbow eyes, sue me.
And yeah, I totally agree that companies are to blame as well. Like, when you see shit like pic related you really question if there was any art qc at all.

I wouldn't say Kadokawa counts, but shit, I didn't realize there was a Nichijou game. And a Lucky Star one.
But yeah, Red hires some good artist.

What games do you think we should try first?

>>145883781
I've seen people repost my download links to other sites. A drama CD I shared had over 500 downloads because of that.

>>145891363
I think we should pool together a few suggestions for otoge and BL and vote on one for both categories. PC titles only so no one has to buy Vita games(or go back to PSP).

Sound ok? Any suggestions?

>>145892236
I think PSP should be okay. There are many good Otome games on it, and it'd be a shame to leave them all out.
Also, story games would probably be best as there often isn't a lot to talk about more lighthearted games.

>>145891531
>the characters grow up
Sounds interesting.

Let's play Diabolik Lovers and Pigeon Blood

>>145871689
was hoping the robot got a human form, now to see if he has a full route.

>>145892787
I get the feeling people would lose motivation for PSP games but we might as well include them in suggestions.

>>145892236
I suggest Taisho Alice for otoge.

I just started playing this and my god, the expressions on this duck are so adorable.

>>145903781
That is a cute duck. Wanted to play the game for the duck, but still didn't get around for it.

Is that the PSP version?

>>145900740
S-stop anon, you're gonna make me cry :^)
sadists are actually miracles of nature though

>>145893480
I second Taisho Alice.
Also, Zettai Kaikyuu Gakuen.

3 suggestions seems good enough considering the number of people who want to do it. If anyone else has one say it soon. I'll make the poll in an hour.

And is no one interested in doing it for bobge?

>>145910959
Maybe Pigeon Blood for the shits and giggles.

>>145910959
I'd unironically suggest some but for some reason people seem unreasonably picky with BL games and even give them hell for shit widespread in otome too.

So I suppose it's better off to suggest shit people can "ironically" enjoy like Pigeon Blood and Dramatical Murder.

>>145912680
What would you suggest "unironically"? I'm open to genuine suggestions.

Chances of people actually going through with playing when the time comes are kinda slim. I just don't see very many people carrying through with it.

>>145913581
It did fail miserably last time but there's no harm trying again. I'm interested in all of the otoge choices so I'll play it regardless.

Here's the otoge poll: http://www.strawpoll.me/10522091

Let's wait for another suggestion or two for the BL one.

>>145916329
My vote went for Natsuzora only because it's never talked about. And I'm still thinking if I should get the ZKG port, I'm kinda opposed to getting censored stuff, but reading on vita is easier than on pc

>>145916917
Was anything added to the vita port?

>>145916917
>reading on vita is easier than on pc
I don't get this meme

>>145917346
They had to modify one route because it had "crime scenes" and they still have Cero D, but other than that I heard of nothing new

>>145917768
>meme
What's there not to get, you can read in any position you want, on your comfy bed

>>145917346
It's not out yet but I haven't heard of any new content. It's being ported by the same company as TaiAli and that only got some new customization features and an omake gallery.

>>145917768
Walk around the house with it, take it under the blankets, hold it as close or far from your face as necessary, put it in sleep mode and start it again immediately any time, handier shortcut buttons, etc.

>>145916329
Voted for Natsuzora for the same reason as >>145916917.

>>145917768
It's more comfy to leisurely play Vita games in bed before going to sleep. And I have the attention span of a gold fish so when I do stuff on PC I easily get distracted.

>>145916329
If Natsuzora wins I'll play, becuase of Inoue and sci-fi.
But I'm not interested in the plot or charas of the other two games.
Let's see if this actually works this time though.

I've got to at least beat this first route in SRX first though.

>>145903678
I actually like Yumemirusekai. Her reviews are extremely detailed and while she does include her own thoughts, they are few and far between and not half as cringeworthy as other reviewers so it's bearable.

>>145910959
Hanakisou for bobge

>>145903678
/blog/, amazon reviews, and sale numbers.

>>145918793
On Vita is it possible to open a browser to look up words or walkthroughs and flip back and forth?
Because the PSP is really comfy in bed, but I still have to get up and reference the computer for walkthroughs and dictionary's anyway.

>>145922245
Yes it's possible on Vita.

>>145920527
Isn't the main point of a game review supposed to be the writer's own thoughts on the game though?

>>145922245
Yes, it is.
And for the PSP, you could save the walkthroughs in a HTML file and open them in the PSP web browser. No internet connection required. You'd still have to quit the game the access it but it's better than constantly moving to the computer and back.

>>145922823
I suppose. But when I look for reviews, I usually only pay the attention to the story's summary to see if the game's worth picking up. Official news are too vague and sometimes only show the best parts.

>>145920718
I second this idea.

>>145928691
When will you end the polls?

>>145933925
I was thinking either 250/300 posts. Depending on how fast we move that should be at least a day.

>>145928691
I wonder how many people are voting for Zettai Kaikyuu Gakuen because they have the vita port preordered...

>>145936794
Are you the same anon who's posted screenshots from other PSP otoge like Armen Noir and Koi Sentai? If so I'm impressed at your ability to power through your backlog like that.

>>145938509
yeah same person.
It actually took me a while I thought.
I got through Issho ni Gohan pretty quickly, but the other games I could have probably done quicker.

>>145939186
You've read them all this year though right? Going back to PSP for a single game is already a struggle for me.

>>145939903
A poorfags struggle, but the screen doesn't bug me that much, and these games don't have ports anyway.

I've been wondering if putting Kyoya's event UR into the team instead of changing it to an UR+ would give me more points?

Why are "true" ends a thing? Why give the illusion of choice?

>>145990059
Yeah, I never liked that concept because it makes the other routes feel pointless in a way. (You want X to have a good ending? Well, then you won't get 'real' story closure. Too bad!)

Beats me. Sometimes it really feels they just wrote it to piss you off especially if your favourites get shafted.

>>146010891
I've been getting those vibes from it from the start so I never had much interest.

Are there any femdom games? Besides that one route in Jooubachi.

>>145990059
For plot structure, to have a route that closes off the game, or for games where it just makes sense for one guy to be canon.

There's no 'illusion of choice'. You have entire, hours long routes for other characters where they get their ending.

As long as there's a reason for there to be a true route and the guy chosen to be the true route makes sense I'm fine with it even if I don't like him. The only times it bothers me are with cases like C;R's Lupin where other guys were more connected to the main plot than him and he just felt shoved in there because he was the most generically appealing one.

>>146025605

So I assume no one on /blog/ got Hakuouki shinkai?

>>146026094

>>146014576
I'm kinda reluctant to preordering stuff if I didn't like (or don't know) the team's previous work, and there might be a reason why they still didn't anouce all the staff.

I've found the best boy, the only one to make this game worth playing, nothing will beat him. I know that I've said I'm gonna write after I finish all the routes, but Shougo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everyone else.

I've finished all 4 routes available from the start. For the order, I'd say it's best to leave Shizuru and Akira for later, since there are some plot points in their routes that give more information about previous bits of information, especially in Shizuru's, when it comes to Sasagoi and his reactions to his books. Akira's route isn't that much full of spoilers, but the plot twist of his route doesn't appear in the other 3.

First, Hisui. His route was more on the emotional side. However, I see no point in mentioning that he "hates girls" on his profile, since it didn't really matter at all, he's also "but guurlz" after which he's all "no offence, I didn't want to discriminate anyone". This was just full of bad writing. I also didn't like how he was a little bit too yandere-ishly obsessive at some times.
Of course, the plot itself is still only okay, not good or not bad.

>>146053104
Now, the best part of the game. I don't believe that Rui, Hayato, or secret character are gonna be better than Shougo. It's been a long time since I've played something with a tsundere this cute and full of dere. He has a slight blush on pretty much all the time. When he goes too tsun and hurts someone he switches to dere and tries his best to apologize in an awkward way. Shame that the faces on the log are default ones.
I also loved that his route did right what other mostly do wrong. He apologized to MC and explained why he suddenly started being a dick to her after one event
His sex scene was also cute and awkward, with hand holding afterwards. He was asking MC if it's okay to kiss her and touch her, like the pure virgin he is. He was also concerned if she was okay after the sex. And even properly confessed to her and asked her feelings before doing anything more.
I feel like the plot in his route had the most sense, the MC wasn't also a useless rag. When she went to do some spying she didn't try to go further alone, because she knew it was reckless. Also, she was useful during the climax of the route, she thought up a plan to save them both, though it was interrupted by the rest of the cast coming to where they were.
I have a feeling that another writer was doing this route, as it's quality was better than others. Or maybe, she just likes Shougo the most and gave her best. However, I still enjoyed reading it more for character interactions that the plot happenings.

Anyways, after this route I don't feel that I've only wasted my money, but I'm also prepared for bigger disappointment with the remaining guys.

He propably didn't take it off or Satoi doesn't like drawing naked male chests. Every time during the foreplay, it's only mentioned how the guy unbuttons MCs shirt, and that's pretty much everything when it comes to undressing.

>>146051354

>>146053194
Fuck, great tsundere are my weakness.
Are the character interactions interesting and common enough to make the game entertaining even if you completely ignore the story?

>>146054570
>Satoi doesn't like drawing naked male chests.
Doubt it. All the Diabolik Lovers guys have shirtless sprites and cgs.

>>146057703
There're some funny coversations, but at most I only smiled a little. Akira was okay till his plot twist, Shizuru and Hisui didn't interest me that much.
On the other hand, some sub characters are annoying as hell, to the point when I learned the backstory of one of them I couldn't feel anything for them.
I can say that the only one I've really enjoyed and had fun reading the convos was Shougo.

>>146057797
Maybe she takes more money for naked stuff. I really can't understand why they didn't go for more sexy stuff when the rating is already high enough.

A post with download links wouldn't hurt.
Do we want to split BL and Otome, for those that want to play both? (like, one month Otome and the next BL)

>>146083721
Splitting sounds like a good idea.

I wish they would show more in studio readings with the interviews. It's really wild to see the voices coming out of the actors themselves.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9aTr9HQFUd4

>>146083721

>>146086025

>>146086791

>>146087268
There are tons of DVDs, finding rips is the harder part.
The OtoPa events all have ~15min long reading parts for all games attending, and it shouldn't be too hard to find them. The reading parts are pretty entertaining there.
There also are tons of Vitamin events, and Meiji Tokyo Renka also had some events. Just the rips I have/seen: Norn9, Arcana Famiglia, Love Root Zero, Neoromance, rejet, multiple Storm Lovers events.
I'm sure you can find more if you search.

>>146086658
True, but at the same time, one would always miss some of the discussion of the other game.

>>146091162
What they can't bring it up again and people can't talk to them about it?

>>146091649
Not them, but this general is pretty anti-social, as proved by that anon earlier who gets lots of moochers but no discussion.

And this is why I expect the whole thing to flop from the beginning.

>>146092998
Makes you wonder who's lurking here and why they don't post.

>>146091649
It's just that it's easier to discuss things when people are playing at around the same time.
Though I guess there'll be people around to talk about things again, so it can't hurt.

>>146092998
There are normally some discussions when there's one anon playing a games that someone else played before, or when two anons are playing the same game, like that old BL game that got a Vita port or that new Takuyo game.

>>146092998
Not that Anon, but rather than anti, I think it's also an issue of timing. People grab dls on sight simply because it's there in front of them. Who knows when they are opened. No harm in trying to organize a group play that numerous Anons are interested in.

>>146093989
I wonder if a lot of people are just too hesitant to restart a discussion when they get around to something they saw discussed before.
If that's the case, they shouldn't be. Even if a discussion is a repeat, they'll still likely be the highest quality posts in the general.

>>146094289
People bring up games that are several years old all the time, so that doesn't really seem to be the case.

Anyway I'd be surprised if this thing gets more than 3 participants, so unless someone flat out says that they don't want something done a certain way you can just go with whatever's easiest.

>>146094289
I guess I could see how the general being slow could put people off of talking about a game they remember was discussed a while ago.

At the same time, if the game is worth discussing in the first place it probably has enough content that discussion hasn't dried up for.

Unless they're just scared they'll get bitched at.

>>146095524
I think a lot of it is just down to people not playing the same games around the same time.
Taisho Alice had a wacky twist and even that got 0 discussion.

>>146096462
I recall people discussing the first few episodes a lot.

What is it stopping people from talking about a game after they finish it?

>>146096647
Only the first one. A lot probably dropped it.

>>146096647
Probably because they started at the same time.

Being "episodes" effected it.

>>146096647
>>146097014
Yeah, I'm one of those that only played the first one.
Will probably buy the Vita port and play the rest, but that'll take a few more months since other games have priority for me right now.

I don't talk about the games I play often because I play multiple games at the same time and make little progress though all of them. I also don't really like giving my opinions on them until I've completed all or most of the routes.

>>146096921
In my case it's because my nip skills are below average so while I do get the overall story I worry that I've misunderstood some important stuff and I don't want to spread false information. Also, same as >>146097628.

I'd personally be happy with start of July, since I have to finish a route in another game before starting something new.

>>146139663
No, there isn't. I'm assuming that >>146133546 is from someone's blog.

They recommend three different options to go about things: unfolding the time loop mystery, slowly getting more emotional, or getting to know something about the time loop at the very beginning and wrapping up with the 'conclusion'.

>>146133546
>>146143984
>looking around a bit
>every fucking blog recommends a different order
Well, fuck it. I'll go with the second from that picture, the emotional development one.

>>146133546
So in other words, it doesn't matter in which order we do it as long as we leave Watamori for last. Guess I'll go with the first rec order then.

>>146151150
His route is only unlocked after you beat everybody else anyway.
I'll probably just pick after playing the first few scenes and getting a feel for the characters.

I'm not even into Iori but it's pretty funny to see his agressive side come out.

For the people asking about Hamashima autographs before:

Sounds like they're gonna be handled like r07's last year (spend $X at the booth and you can get a ticket). Times for the sessions and how much it's going to be are not set yet (there should be two sessions at least though). There'll be some NTY merch and generic shikishi at the booth as well. Should have more details later this week.

Her panel is going to be on Sunday in the evening if anyone was interested in that. MG's main panel is on Friday.
