>>974718 >Also it looked like a joke/SuBveRSIvE WoRK Y'know, I've heard this is a reason Japanese gamers don't pay attention to western "NVL/ADVs" (novel games/adventure games, what we collectively call "VNs" - a term the Japanese don't actually use). That, and they tend to be janky and nowhere near as well made as their own. Look at Slay The Princess, one of the most acclaimed western VNs. Of its over 17000 reviews on Steam, a mere 35 are in Japanese, despite having a full translation. Famitsu didn't even cover it. It's less of a dislike and more a complete apathy, one of the few they really like is Disco Elysium which they consider an ADV, but that doesn't cleanly map onto our concept of a VN.

>>965890 >I was playing through Rance 9, but its been very disappointing. Gameplay is ass, story is not that good, and to make matters worse, it feels like theres not enough Rance moments. I do like Miracle a lot, and the most of the characters that were added I enjoyed and the comedy scenes were fun but that's the only positive I can say about this. Did you also play Kichikuou Rance? Because the Helman revolution storyline was already one of the most fleshed-out subplots in Kichikuou, and now I'm curious if Kichikuou handled it better. (I mean, it probably did - bloat from unnecessary subplots was already a big problem in Rance Quest, and I see no reason to expect that that got any better in Rance 9)

>>1040719 Isn't one of the only western VNs that got over to Japan and had a modest buzz Katawa Shoujo, ironically enough? Would make sense since it was made by a bunch of Anons trying to ape Japanese vns.

Anonymous 11/23/2024 (Sat) 14:40:08 Id: 90e2b9 No. 1042846

>>1041524 It was. Though Katawa Shoujo didn't just ape Japanese VNs; it was also based on a random VN idea some Japanese artist posted on pixiv.

>>1042856 >talking shit about Unteralterbach Them's fighting words. But Unteralterbach was always a very niche thing, though. Even aside from the loli angle (which wouldn't even have been *that* much of an issue with the Japs), it's got just so many cultural references that'll fly right over your head if you're not at least somewhat familiar with Germany and 90s adventure games.

Does anyone know somewhere i can download torrents with a lot of raw VNs? I want to make a collection but going one by one is a pain the ass and the collection on nyaa are mostly translated stuff

>>965384 If you don't mind mediocre art (and busting out a translator), Digital Heart: NOVA. You order a robot girl and decide if you want her to be little more than a household appliance or treat her like a human. I'd give you a better answer if I had one, there are a billion furry VNs but not a lot about robots.

>>1011843 VNDB has notes about the script being 'slightly' or 'heavily' censored for a few ports remasters/remakes of Doukyuusei - a related game made by Elf, pre-dating Kakyuusei. I think this could be the case with Kakyuusei too, but it's also possible that Elf watered-down their scripts at a time slightly before Kakyuusei got published, not that I know the timeline of these things perfectly. While the entry for Kakyuusei's Saturn version doesn't have any note regarding the game being censored, the entry for Doukyuusei's Saturn port describes a 'slightly censored' script,<https://vndb.org/r11620> thus that Kakyuusei version could also be 'slightly censored' similarly. The Windows edition of Doukyuusei is said to be heavily censored,<https://vndb.org/r4466> quoting VNDB's note: >The script was drastically rewritten compared to the PC-98 release. This includes cutting some H-scenes, altering characters' personalities and physical parameters, changing endings. A lot of controversial lines were cut or softened, with the stated reason being to fit the ethics of the time. (((Ethics of the time))). Having spent a lot of time fantasizing about this sort of VN from Elf and others, I have to say that I'm glad I grew up and won't bother learning nip shit just for this.

>>1074781 I haven't read ToHeart yet but I have played a bit of Dungeon Travelers 2, just going off the trailer the new version seems a lot more colorful and extravagant while the original has a more normal and homely aesthetic, I think this is especially noticeable in the opening with the shots of the school. I hope they give us an option to switch between new and old art, personally I think the remake art style is just too over-saturated, like it's on anti-depressants. >>1074783 The 3D characters look great, but not as good as the traditionally animated 2D ones. The 3D backgrounds absolutely suck, they lack a lot of detail the painted ones had.
