Is MG announcing something this weekend?

>>151332596
Yes, though I'm guessing no new /blog/ games.

In other news, Otomate's twitter is teasing that the site for the Osomatsu game will open in three days.

>>151332568
Are there any translations for the web radio anywhere?

>Satoi wiped her Twitter account again

Why does she keep doing that

>>151345560
Please don't tell me she uploaded works only available there.

Touken Hanamaru PV2.
SoL fags can rejoice.

>>151347328
She does sometimes, but mostly Ozmafia doodles.

>>151338749
Nah, the announcement page for new works will open in three days. Probably similar to the countdown page last year, with a video.
They just said they'll post new info about the game.

By the way, they posted two days ago that we'll get multiple fandisks and sequels.

>>151347542
I'm ready for comfiness.

>>151380965
With the amount of buzz around KBO lately, I imagine it's just a matter of time before an English release.

I'm playing it currently and it's pretty fun so far. Originally was only interested in Konparu, but the others have grown on me considerably.

>>151380965
This might be the wrong thing to say in /blog/ but I feel like it'd be better if they went with something that was a little more substantial than an otome game.

>>151385189
I think the point was more to gauge interest. At the very least it helped show that there're possible audiences for a live-action VN and an otoge, both of which can be considered risks. I doubt it'd be used to decide on only a single project to focus resources into, especially considering the target audience for each game is quite different.

Can I get an apk for Mystic Messenger? I can only find them on shady sites and I don't want to risk anything.

>>151388016
Why don't you just download it from the Play Store?

>>151380415
Made a note for myself. Thanks for pointing it out.

>>151385189
Are you the kind of person that can't enjoy your own hobbies?

>>151372383
>>151382270
Is probably Kikkou Sadamune, according to some poeple.

>>151390465
Is the series kind of homo or not what it seems?

>>151347542
Hey, Yagen confirmed.

>>151394647
The one on the left is pretty flirty and there's no female self-insert for them to fawn over, but as usual it's mostly just boys being good friends. I like it, though. It's a cute idol slice of life show.

>>151394647
Tsukiuta is a mix for fujos and otomefags I believe, but the anime has no female self-inserts so it caters more to fujos. The girls from the CD series might appear in the future but most of them are only acquaintances with the boys and they literally live in different planets.
Like >>151395387 said, it's mostly SoL and boys being friends. There's some good baiting here and there though, some guys were already sold as official duos even since the CD series started.

>watching a shitty show just for some cheap baiting when you could play a literal BL game instead
I don't get it

>>151397328
>Why are you having fun with things I'm not?
Sasuga /blog/
Why would I waste 15+ hours on something with absolute garbage quality? most BL games are worse than the average porn VN.
Also, BL anime are pretty terrible on their own too.

>>151397938
Pretty defensive you got there. The point was why settle for cheap bait that goes nowhere when you could have the actual thing.

But this is interesting
>why would I want to play a VN even though I'm in a VN general?
Why are you here? And please don't try to tell me otome games are any better than BL games, unless you want to look like you don't actually play either, or are an EOP.

>Listening to piano music when you could be playing a piano instead

The BL market might have been thriving if watching fujo anime and playing fujo porn went hand-in-hand, but people tend to form these weird things called preferences

>>151399129
Don't most BL games only have like one porn scene per route to fill a quota?

It's becoming more and more evident that next to nobody here actually ever plays anything but mobile games.

>>151398289
I don't want the actual thing if it's complete trash, it's not hard to understand. I would rather read BL manga than play BL games all the time.

I didn't even mention otome games. I'm not an EOP, but I'm not that desperate to play every game released because I don't have time and exporting is expensive for me, plus most titles are not worth expending actual money in my opinion.

>>151399601
I'm still playing stuff for PSP, but pirating. Also, VNs are time consuming and there's fuckton of them. Most people are playing different things all the time or simply are EOPs.

>>151399601
That's been evident for a long time. I've put off good games because people who later admitted they've never actually played them made a big deal about them being trash.

>>151399615
So basically you never actually play anything, but made your mind up about them anyway. I still don't understand why you're here, but okay.

>>151399129
Your comparison is shit.
Both VNs and anime are media, and you're just consuming it. It's different, but not that much.
And why the fuck are you against VNs in a fucking VN general?

>>151399269
yes

>>151400493
>And why the fuck are you against VNs in a fucking VN general?

I see this knee-jerk reaction frequently in this thread and I don't get it.

>>151400180

Nice assumptions. I play around 7 games/year, it's not a lot, but at least I don't depend on google translations. I start a lot of titles but end up dropping them. If I'm not enjoying something why would I even continue playing?

It's not about saying every otome&BL is trash, but in my opinion most of the games I tried were not very good, in the end there's great stuff around. That happens with anime and manga too.

>>151401642
>It's not about saying every otome&BL is trash, but in my opinion most of the games I tried were not very good, in the end there's great stuff around. That happens with anime and manga too.
Backpedaling.

>>151399601
There's not much to talk about when you're in the middle of a route and know that no one will reply to your post anyway.

>>151401642
What have you even tried? N+C and Pigeon Blood? Also define "trying". I wouldn't call a game trash after only touching a trial, nor would I for simply finding it boring or about a topic I don't like.

>>151401378
Because this is a VN general. There shouldn't be a reason to be here other than VNs, and maybe Tourabu since their general merged temporarily to this.

I really wish the mobage people would go to the mobage general.

>>151403051
>Because this is a VN general. There shouldn't be a reason to be here other than VNs

Oh look, the it's the "all /blog/ games are VNs" meme. Simulators are one thing, but do people here not know that there are RPG and strategy-themed games too?

Also, it's possible to criticize something and still like it. It's also possible to have a preference for a type of one thing and not the other. The fact that you don't understand this and get upset over anything bad being said about something you like makes you seem like an underage hugbox forum poster.

>>151404514
Not them, but the poster who's "upset" is the one who got defensive and lashed out calling all /blog/ VNs garbage, then started backpedaling when they couldn't keep the argument up anymore without looking stupid.

>>151404514
>calling everything garbage with no explanation, nor any clue as to what you've actually played is criticizing now

>>151404514
>moving the goalpost
We weren't talking about different types of /blog/ games (which are honestly so fucking rare that they hardly count, except stuff like drama CDs).

>>151403051
Would that not also mean cutting CD and light novel discussion if we were to be a strictly VN thread?

The thread is fine as it is.

>>151405695
Sorry, I just wanted to complain about mobage shitters. I don't have a problem with CDs and stuff like this since we're actually talking about the boys, not blogging about ranking and which card we did or did not get.
But are we even talking about LNs? I've never seen one mentioned, except maybe BroCon.

>>151399601
I'm actually still playing Bad Apple Wars. The repetitiveness takes away my motivation to finish it.
At least I only have one route left, maybe I can speed through it in one day.

>>151402782
The latest BL game I've been playing was Taishou Mebiusline because I saw it being discussed here, probably the only BL game in a couple of years I'm interested in finishing. There's Steal, Hanamachi and I don't know if Hanakisou counts but I tried replaying it because of the poll but I didn't feel compelled to play more than 4 endings again.
I try more otome because there's more titles.

>Also define "trying"
Depends on the number of routes, if there's around 5 characters then I try 3. If I find the routes or the characters uninteresting I don't want to finish it. My opinion is not the law, just because someone else is enjoying I'm still not obligated to.

>>151402110
>no one will reply to your post anyway
This.
I always get the feeling that hardly anyone cares for impressions or shit like that since often no one replies.
Though I guess it's hard to get discussions for Vita games.

>>151401642
i'm not involved in this clusterfuck discussion, but can i give suggestions?

Shingakkou
Beniiro Tenjou Ayakashi Kitan
No Thank You
Taisho Mebiusline
Tokyo Onmyouji (vita ver is improved)

is a start and are all decent to great. they're all pretty different from each other so there's shit to choose from.

>>151407446
>Beniiro Tenjou Ayakashi Kitan
That game was really, really weird tho. Or maybe I'm just too white.

>>151406890
The repetitiveness was my biggest complaint, too.
Any favorite boys though? Mine was Satoru, but I think I liked Shikishima's ending best.

>>151407914
i thought it was fine. did you finish it and do you like Japanese culture shit in general?

>>151408206
I didn't finish it. It wasn't bad, MC was a pretty cool charismatic dude, but the whole ayakashi and onmyodo thing I just don't "get" and was kind of weird.
I typically don't go for historical settings so it's probably my fault. Only other game on that list I've played is NTY.

>>151406043
I get where you're coming from on the rank and card posts. I figure that the want equals stories since I have seen a bit of discussion. As for the novels, it was an example of what could be accepted here.

I think we have a unique mix of a thread covering otome and bl properties in many forms.

>>151408150
I like Shikishima the best, both in terms of character and ending. Aruma's ending was also quite nice because he actually aged into Rinka's time period.
Satoru and Shikishima's route were the most fun in general though since they were my first two routes.
I have the white haired prefect left. I'm just hoping that the route will be okay.

>>151407446
>Shingakkou
>Taisho Mebiusline
Aw man. Isn't the terminology kinda hard for these? I remember a few anons talking about it and one even did challenge pics with Shinggakou.They're on my list, but I'd still need to level up my JP studies more.

>Beniiro Tenjou Ayakashi Kitan
I haven't heard of this or LoveDelivery's first work, Tsukigami. I'll be adding this to my list of things to read later once I finish my ye olde otome binge. I feel bad for dropping Sumire no Tsubomi for now, but its path system and absurd amount of endings is awful despite the 3Ps one can obtain.

>>151408783
Think of ayakashi as morally ambiguous demons or spirits. Their personalities and sense of right and wrong vary, in a sense they're a lot like humans.

I guess maybe onmyoudo is harder to get across to Westerners though. It's not necessarily magic in the sense of how that's usually thought of in the West. It's influenced by Shinto and Chinese philosophy. I'm sure you know a bit about yin and yang? If you're interested in understanding, it wouldn't be impossible if you looked into all those areas, including Japanese history. It's also relevant in Mebiusline and Tokyo Onmyouji if you ever pick those up.

>>151410386
>Tsukigami
Anyone played this? I've noticed the company itself likes to pretend it doesn't exist which makes me curious about quality.

>>151412173
Do you think the story would be just as awful?

>>151411409
Looks kinda indie.

Gotta start somewhere.

>>151412395
It kind of looks like clusterfuck of ideas they then went on to spread throughout later games I guess when they got their shit together.

There's really nothing to say but "uh"

But it's like >>151412548 says, you gotta start somewhere.

After reading through the story summary, the character introductions, etc, I can safely say that it probably would be just as awful. It looks like 90's cheese but missed the bus by about 10 years. If there was to be a best boy it would probably be the fierce energy that inhabits and gives shape to these boys' shoulders.

>>151413417
They seemed to have gotten their shit down somehow the next year with Beniiro Tenjou Ayakashi Kitan and then finetuned it on Taishou Mebiusline. I wonder how it's going to be with NewWorldOrder?

>>151413996
>NewWorldOrder
The writer is good at flowery historical shit, but it doesn't seem like it it'll fall into that category. Apparently she contributed to a route in Pigeon Blood and that game was a mess. Hopefully it doesn't try to be excessively edgy.

>>151415852
i'll be surprised if it takes the concept to extremes.

it's probably going to have a subdued gothic tone.

>>151415852
Probably this: >>151417020
Another thing she's good at is being depressing and getting the feeling of hopelessness across to the reader.

I wanna see her write an utsuge.

>>151415852
>a route in Pigeon Blood and that game was a mess
Hmm makes me want to play it to see how much messed up it was. Maybe I should play it near halloween for the proper mood.

I just learned that one of the writers did Zettai Kaikyuu. I haven't pursued the remaining true ends with Rei and the other leftover guys (Ichiha and Touya). Maybe I shouldn't have started with Riku and Haru. Am I going to miss out on the overall picture if I just go for Rei and don't do Ichiha and Touya's true ends?

>>151420238
Rei's is probably one of the better ones. Depends on how immersed you are.

>10

>>151421443
Yeah. I just I didn't expect Riku to blindside me when I chose to do his route first. I guess I'll go for Rei and ditch the other guys. After playing both Ichiha and Touya's Rose/Stone routes, their story lacks substance since I was hoping for some rebellion shenanigans with Touya. Ichiha's is frustrating. It makes sense for his character, but it doesn't add much to the story and man, does the reveal loop get tiring fast.

If I could return to the past, I would've done it in this order for the slow unfolding of the story:

Ichiha -> Haru -> Touya -> Riku -> Rei

>>151372383
This art style feels really familiar, but I can't figure out who it is. Does anyone recognize the illustrator?

>>151423387
My first thought was Kazuaki, but that's probably wrong. The colouring is different.

>>151423387
>>151423928
I think it actually is Kazuaki.

I think the coloring just looks weird because it's so close up.

>>151423928
>>151425805
I had considered her too and dismissed the possibility on the basis that the coloring wasn't vibrant enough, but looking at her more recent work on Blackish House, it doesn't need to be that vibrant. Something about the lineart and coloring still seem off to me, though, and she shades noses differently.

I've been meaning to play Zettai Kaikyuu myself. I tried the demo soon as it came out but since then I just keep being distracted by new games. From the demo Riku was easily my favorite, followed by Haru.

So about six months ago people were wondering what to do with badges and stuff.

Boy, if this wasn't a game that required heavy cheese I'd never read the dramas ever again.

Kaito is fun during the main and event stories, his dressing room reactions with the event items are hilarious (though we only got Iori and Subaru for now).
But he's either being frustrating or dramatic in his love drama, I just want him to break his tsun

>>151472025
Kaito was one of my favorites because of his style and songs but after his route I'd rather just look at his face than interact with him. Madoka shouldn't deal with his bullshit.

Iori became more endering for me, the kind of tsun I'd rather interact with.

>>151501409
Passive aggressive posts like these trying to imply they go there that pop up whenever someone says anything even remotely negative about tumblr, just makes it look like you go there yourself and don't like seeing the whole site lumped together as one, not the other way around.

You're free not to come here if we're wrong and it offends you.

Oh shit.

I wonder if Kaito won't take longer to break simply for the sake of length or because he's that tsun. 60+ is about a dozen mini chapters, but I can't say it's still too early in a long running series like this when others have gotten closer. I'm mostly working on that sweet spaghetti.

>>151503562
Thanks for confirming the issue is that you don't like seeing them shat on because you think they're not all the same.

>know them personally
Pretty wild assumption to take from a short post stating what everyone knows about western fujoshits.

Personally, I sit in a dead general because I'm too autistic to find otoge friends, but that's just me.

>>151503879

Can we please stop talking about tumblr? Or how long do you guys want to continue this stupid argument?

>>151504429
>You don't have to keep vigilance over landwhales to know what goes on in this hobby
Exactly. You don't have to interact with them to know what they're famous for. Unless you're going to try to say next that you're too good for the rest of 4chan, or too good to read the tweets of upset localization staff when they realize shit stopped getting purchased after it got cracked.

Way to contradict yourself in your second line though.

It's funny how passive aggressive you've gotten over a very short post simply stating what a group of people are very famous for.

It's not like any long-winded posts with minute details were made. If there had been, you'd have a point, but right now you don't and you look defensive about something. You also derailed the thread.

Haven't most of the recent /blog/ releases actually sold quite well though? Aside from Sweet Fuse flopping 3 years ago, is Amnesia being used as the only example?

>>151503815
They should try harder.

>>151505673
Ones on anything that can be pirated on stop selling immediately after they're cracked. Interestingly it apparently doesn't happen to male-targeted VNs.

>>151505673
Fuck those people doing Amnesia, they're almost giving it away for free.
But yeah, the Aksys TLs sold at least decent enough for them to do 4 more games.

No, so truthfully there's little way to know for sure, but something must have compelled Aksys to announce 4 new otome titles simultaneously. Even if Otomate offered a good deal for the licenses, that's a huge resource commitment.

Finished Kagaharu's route.
Once again some annoying drama, though it was more from the MC's side than him.

Seriously what was with that completely un-foreshadowed stuff, all of a sudden he's an amazing artist that's going to study overseas? They could have at least put the fact that he can draw well in one of the side stories or something so it doesn't come completely out of nowhere.
Though really, how the protagonist is so weak and self-hating is so irritating, doubly so because there is so much narration from her perspective.
...though maybe she's just reminding me of myself a little.

Now I'll put this on hold another week for the Olympics.

Another one I like are where if the girl's crossdressing, he starts thinking he's gay. Even better when he accepts his "gayness" and goes for MC.

I always love when voice clips get cut off behind other sounds at the beginning so "Sugoku kimochi yokatta ne" sounds like "goku kimochi yokatta ne" and "sugoi" sounds like "oi" and you're just kinda stunned as to why the boys would talk about goku or suddenly tameguchi your ass

I buy the Vita games but they're expensive so I still pirate these sweet PSP titles the most. I buy random merch too, lots of them.

>>151703701
I don't understand that logic.
While Vita games are expensive, PSP titles are like 500 yen now, so almost nothing.
Though I guess at that price, it doesn't really matter if you buy it, especially if you'd buy them second-hand.

>>151705101
I buy Vita games on PSN store to avoid paying for shipping and taxes, especially because I'm in a third world country.
>Though I guess at that price, it doesn't really matter if you buy it, especially if you'd buy them second-hand.
Definitely. Bulk buying might be good if you want to have a neat collection, but the company will get nothing from that.

I buy random merch to delude myself I'm helping with something.

It feels like he works on a lot of the games I play. Some soundtracks are better than others and there's the occasional similar sounding track, but I'm always exited to see his name.

I'm propably gonna wait till our Chinese friends upload it.
Maybe the full versions don't exist, like with Berserk OP.
I like her kinda husky voice, it fits the mysterious-like songs.

I'm a cheapfag and go for the normal versions. I've got a couple of preorder bonus drama CDs still in their foil. I don't like collecting merch (aside of figures, but that's a slippery slope and I'm avoiding going that way again), since I usually put it all in a drawer and leave it, never to look at again.

>>151735545
The full OP exists at least. It was performed at an event and the cd release was listed as March on her site, but that never happened. I assumed Otomate held it off so it could be bundled with the EDs but that didn't happen either. I should probably give up hope.
It has a unique quality to it for sure.

That's such a waste since you're actually there. ;_; I'll admit a lot of my tokuten end up stashed away too though. I wish we got more stuff like tapestries and figs.

Finally finished reading the Supernova stories. Since there had been a fuss that Midori might have had a GIRLFRIEND???!?! I thought something explicit might have been mentioned, but of course it was a big deal over nothing. Given how he is I wouldn't be surprised if he had been forced to go on dates before. In any case the GIRLFRIEND???!?! part wasn't even the focus of his story, it wasn't so much that he wanted a girlfriend but was wondering if he would have been happier not being an idol.

It's actually cute that despite saying that he didn't like dates, in the following Pirates vs. Marines event the promise to go on a date with Transfer Student (in an animal costume) made him do his best performance.

Well, at least you can say the senseis are worth every penny.

I'm playing this "pay real money to see R-18 scenes" mobile game.

>>151778127
this just makes me want to play the game again. I remember it being kinda boring, being just random tabbing for gems to get upgrades for cards. Was there any improvement in gameplay? How easy would it be to get back into it?

>>151831554
Why would you do that?
Is it at least good?

SRX animu has been really fun lately, I'm thinking about getting into the game. I hope Takuto is best boy in there too.

>>151832130
It's okay.

At least there are nipples on the CGs and character sprites when something full-priced like Mashou Megane doesn't have it.

>>151831271
Natsuzora. Going for that Sensei.

The Okamoeto character gives me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Not like I hate him bad feeling, but like something very unfortunate's going to happen. And I like it. I haven't felt this way in a while about an otome game.

>>151836870
He does look really cute.
I should at least pick up the anime.

There's a new minigame for event concerts, but other than that it's still the same crawl. Cute boys and stories are what it has going for it.

I think right now there is a campaign for new users to get free stuff, and they're allowing periods to participate in the first events from when the game started.

>>151831271
I only had a route left in clock zero but Takato is so godamn crazy I needed a short fun break so I'm playing koi suru pecora wa machigaenai. It's pretty good for a free game, mc is cute and Albel is best boy.

>>151831271
Playing Getsuei no Kusari, on Mochizuki's route. This game has one of the most unlikeable MC.

>>151831271
Currently playing Arcana Famiglia. Just started a new game, will try to go for Pace and Nova at the same time.
