I'm going to ask for something fuckin weird if you all don't mind. Are there any romance or eroge VNs relating to robots or mecha? Living machines and mechanophilia are also OK, but I suspect that's much rarer if even existing at all. I don't mean humans with bolts glued on, or even worse, androids. That's tylenol, and I'm in the market for heroin here. Orientation doesn't matter, M/F, M/M, F/F, I'm not picky in that regard. I am already familiar with Bedabots. Excellent suggestion if you were going to reply with that. I also already know of Attract Mode. Points for uniqueness, but it gets too "Tumblr fanfic" with its ghost possession and murder. And I know of Mechromancer. Total disappointment, that one. It's like 12 minutes and there's no romancing despite that being the premise.

Is Stella of the End any good? I saw that CCG gave it a pretty good review.
(141.06 KB 735x1041 1958.jpg)

>>965402 I'm not opposed to it, is what I'm saying. Does the book have the same weirdly erotic undertones as the movie, or knowing King, even more? The famous "show me" scene has fucking sleazy music playing.
Is BlazeBlue a VN?
What do VN gamers actually look for in a VN? I have VN Maker on Steam from some bundle or other and was thinking of tinkering around with it. Figured I might use AI to create the art for it and do the writing myself. But what actually attracts gamers to a VN? Is it just the art? The writing? The branching storylines? I don't entirely get it myself.
>>965449 Play through all routes of Euphoria then come back and humble yourself.
>>965447 Partially. The XBlaze games are full VNs.
>>965449 60% to 70% of the attraction of VNs these days is the art. You need to at least make better art than what Katawa Shoujo has, that's pretty much the limit these days for what passes. And better art doesn't just mean prettier, but also original - so AI most likely isn't gonna cut it unless you make it spit out an anime girl in some kind of style that is not instantly obvious AI. 30% to 20% is presentation. Want good examples? See: Steins;gate, Mahoyo, France no Shoujo, recent Rance games, etc. The VN needs to look pretty as stated above, but also needs to be as non-static as possible without just making it a full on anime. Moving mouths, dynamic scenes, multiple poses for the characters, creative camera placement, all these things go into making the VN feel more 'alive'. The rest of the attraction is the story. You'd be surprised how little most VN readers need story-wise in order to enjoy the VN. Nekopara, DDLC, and Danganronpa have comparatively little going on story-wise, but because the characters and the presentation are so nice, everyone lets it go. Can there be successful VNs with shit art, shit presentation, but amazing story? Of course. But if you want to play the numbers, you should approach it with the above considerations, because that's what most people look for. People give ugly VNs like Higurashi, Clannad, and KS a break because they are older and have excellent stories. But don't expect any VN you create nowadays to be given the same kind of breaks. Also, can anyone help me locate a VN I lost? I never played it, only heard about it. Apparently you play as some virgin who is always looking down at his feet and you use the keyboard to move your head up, and you rape(?) the girls at school or something like that? If anyone has any idea what VN I'm referring to, enlighten me.
>>965384 Demonbane? Or do you mean something more related to the mechas itself? >>965412 Its made by Key so its probably good. I've never heard of CCG though. >>965449 Theres a fair amount of variety when it comes to VN's. Me personally, I am more interested in one's with a strong story. Visual novels where its long, you get attached to the characters and the story, and has really amazing/unique moments. Gameplay elements/branching to me is nice to have's but not what im really interested in. Some people really value the H-scenes or romance options or whatever, but the safest bet is having a great story. >>965469 if you know any other things in the VN, you might be able to search for it in vndb via tag searching. >>965451 Its funny how Euphoria is fucked but then you look at some of the other shit that Clockup/others have made and its not nearly the most disgusting one.
>>965469 Sounds like you're talking about Mojika. Main character has a special power where if he looks someone in the eye he can read their thoughts and yeah their's lots of rape in it.
>>965552 That's the one, thanks mate

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. I'm on chapter 11 and I might just drop it or just finish it at an extremely slow pace. Granted, the only reason I'm playing Rance 9 in the first place is because I want to play Rance X when its fully translated but I'm getting the feeling this story doesn't matter.

(1.18 MB 1911x935 3izjlgp5k4c41.png)

>>966215 There is stealth gameplay, as well as action gameplay, and it's quite good when you're playing those segments, but unless you skip all the story due to the amount of cutscenes, and Codec Calls "which really are just Visual Novel segments" that the west had no idea about since they didn't know what visual novels were. You're going to be watching/listening to a Metal Gear Solid games' story possible longer than you're actually playing it at times. Which isn't inherently bad, since they're fun stories, and the actual gameplay is up to snuff enough that the games are still worth replaying when skipping all that story, but I do think while people don't really think about it, Codec calls can surely be classified as Visual novels, and they comprise such a great deal of MGS games.
>>965929 >spoiler try Katawa Shoujo
>>966281 and speaking of which, out of curiosity, did """""we""""" in the west ever get word of what nips thought of katawa shoujo or snoot game?
>>966281 How "japanese" is it? As in, how much of it contains the standard harem/romance anime tropes? I Absolutely cannot stomach that stuff. The only way I consume Japanesse stuff nowadays, if at all, is only through manga. For reference, seeing any tsundere and a faggot MC just going along with it on top of that fills me with an insurmountable urge of mauling both of them to death.

>>966497 You are not mistaken. 2012 is when it released, IIRC. And it's a 4chan project, so that should give anon an idea on how heavily it will lay into the anime tropes. Spoiler alert: Not very much, but it does have a few odd moments.
>>966303 >standard harem/romance anime tropes stop talking like a redditor >How "japanese" is it Its short and its an enjoyable visual novel. The girls are good, they do have some typical archetypes like kuuderes but literally every piece of work has archetypes. If you spend like an hour or two on it, you'll see why everyone has a fond opinion of it. >>966285 I'd be surprised if they had anything besides a positive opinion of it. The only "negatives", if you can even call them that, are the length and the fact that its pretty vanilla but neither of those should really matter. >>966207 I'm at chapter 11, Rolex seems pretty chill but thats all I know about him so far

>>966285 The only thing I can remember them being wary of is that "Katawa" was apparently a somewhat offensive word for the disabled, I guess similar to it being called "Cripple Girls" in English. Otherwise I recall reading they enjoyed it. Snoot Game I couldn't tell you though.

Not just mecha of course, like I said other robotic and mechanical themes are fine. I don't expect there are many mecha romance VNs, I already mentioned the only I'm aware of, Mechromancer, and it's frankly not very good. There are a few VNs that sound like they're be that sort of thing, like Mechacon! and Mech Academy, but they're not. Anons probably aren't aware of anything I'd be interested in, but I thought it would be worth asking. Such is the life of having niche tastes. >>965709 amen >>966774 Very poor.

>>967662 I don't remember too much of a difference besides the bloated(?) filesize and better windows compatibility, Muv-luv is a bloated mess either way, I ended up just giving on Extra, skipping through Unlimited and skimming Alternative since the fight scenes just drag on eventually. The drama in the later games is ok but there's just a lot of fluff in Unlimited. The only thing I remember besides the guro in Unlimited (and Tamase saying to get revenge for Finland to the Finland pilot since Finland got nuked by bugs) and stretched out background VN fight scenes I ended up speeding through with a speedhack was the cuckolding at the end of Alternative since I felt like I was intentionally being trolled by the developers for bothering to read most of it.
>>967807 >>967810 >>967812 >>967813 >>967815 Shit anon, get it together. Also, you shouldn't have skipped Extra, it's where all of the characters and their backstories and personalities are set up, without that you don't get the grounding that gives the actual plot its weight. That said, I did end up dropping Alternative halfway through. Thing drags way too long, it's just horribly paced.
>>967844 Extra is better than the setup in the long run even if it's an intentionally shitty parody, I just wasn't in the mood to complete it, Suika and Miki are ok, I really don't care about anyone else though.

I'm not sure if these count, but I just gave the Sucker for Love games a shot and actually had a pretty good time. >Sucker for Love: First Date Apparently started as a short game that was part of a larger collection of games called Dread X. This version is the "complete" version that's a standalone game. You're playing a guy who's probably played Teraurge more times than he's had hours in the day. He gets a "necronomicon" and starts dating elder gods. It's pretty short, split into chapters for each of the three elder gods you can date/survive Cthullhu, Hastur, and Nyalarthotep , and I don't get much of that "ironic visual novel" vibe from the writing or interactions. Finished it in a couple of hours because I wanted to get the endings/look for easter eggs. Pretty decent, considering it was expanded from a mini-game. >Sucker for Love: Date to Die For This is the next game and secret prequel in the series. You're playing a girl this time, and are paired up with one elder god this time, who is Shub-niggurath we're going to ignore that the brown girl is paired up with mrs niggurath, for the moment, even if it's kind of funny. Basically you have to survive dating her because if you don't, her cultists will murder you to death due to plot reasons. Without going into spoilers, this one feels much more game-y, with exploration and some light stealth tossed in with the VN bits. The writing is pretty solid, I think. I don't really have too much of a frame of reference so it might be shit and I'm just unaware. Only real issue is that there isn't as much body horror as the first game. I just want to know if anyone else has given them a try.
>>974628 I was gonna try the second one because the idea seemed interesting but I could not stand playing as a nigger woman so I dropped it immediately. The first one seems more tolerable though but havent done it yet.
>>974628 >>974636 The problem with the second one is less the fact you play as a nigger woman, and more the fact that you play as an (((asexual))) nigger woman and the game expects you to play along with that.
>>974672 asexual... isnt this supposed to be something like a dating sim?
>>974673 Yeah, but for some reason modern game devs think it's hilarious to "subbert eggspegdations :D" by having a dating sim where the main character doesn't want to date anyone.
>>966654 I like the girl with the hair over her eyes the smile and body language makes me think she has a mischievous personality.
>>974692 A bit of a spoiler but she does end up dating the black goat. It's implied over a few moments of the game that what she's seeing and what's actually happening aren't lining up. She's getting brainwashed over the course of the game to just be a regular lesbian. By the "True" end of the game, the asexual girl is in a relationship with the goat who is talking to her parents about grandkids. The "Truth" ending has her get reminded of her original goal and kill everyone on earth (except her, since she's immortal)

Sorry, I hit post too early. I meant to finish with >The Old Ones aren't comic book supervillains, I don't know why writers write them like they're genocidal maniacs. They're definitely malevolent but you're intentionally not supposed to know what their goals are.
>>974718 >>974720 You don't. I mean that the player is the one who kills everyone and survives. The final ritual in Shub's book is a breakup spell, which sets the area she's influencing (represented by the Black Woods) on fire. Since, by that point, it's the entire world, the entire world burns. But yeah it's definltely not something that teratophiliacs would probably enjoy.

Considering the pace he works at and how he refuses help due to one retard being himself one time, it will take even longer. Which will only make our expectations higher along with our disappointment if it ever releases. Reminds me of HL2 Episode 3 in a way. Took too long, climate and hype were so high that it was never going to be good enough, and so it died. But as short as TU was, I'm still happy with what I got out of it.

In fact they don't even have a CG and the two instances of it are narratively worse than the other choice they give you. The sequel and prequel are both total shit though, most likely due to the lack of the nonfurfag writer they had on the team for Echo who reigned them in. >>975936 Cute cowbot, would pat and smooch.
>>975987 >Douay-Rheims Well that's some excuse for a cat to shit itself. Its decent translation from vulgate but still lacks certain english "passas" in linguistics that other versions have.

>>976251 got any good bara recs
>>976301 I don't know much about human bara stuff, just furfag kusoge. There's a lot of garbage and even the good stuff isn't that good, in fact much of it is unfinished and updates at a snail's pace. Echo I already mentioned so I won't go into it, but it is the one very rare finished FVN that isn't bad and doesn't have a sexual focus, and the ONLY one I can recommend to anyone who isn't a gay furfaggot. I'm also not going to talk about Morenatsu because everyone who's into this has already played it. So I'm just going to list 5 rather recent ones that have caught my attention. For modern fantasy/mystery, Nerus is on hiatus but has a decent length and while the prologue starts off obnoxiously sappy, it leads to a gnostic setting with a thousand year long timeline. It's one of two FVNs I really wish would be finished already. Obviously not without flaws though, even outside that prologue. There was one sexual scene in particular that came off to me as extremely self indulgent, "the writer's barely disguised fetish" as it were. I don't recall there being any consequential choices but I've heard there are many details you can miss including dialogue being different in text boxes and the log, so there is some minor replayability. If you want a slower paced fantasy, Pervader was alright from what couple hours I read of it, but I didn't get far. The setting was a little interesting, with mages having brands and being discriminated against and segregated because one of them almost fucked up the world centuries before the story. Can't say more than that however as I ought to read more of it, but every one of these FVNs inevitably has some disappointment further in so I'm being cautious. Killigan's Treasure is written like a shonen adventure, in fact it somewhat reminds me of HunterxHunter. It is optimistic yet serious with lighthearted humor and the character writing is on the stronger side, not to mention having the best presentation of my recs due to custom UI. Some people I've recommended it to don't like the artstyle however and that is understandable with how cartoony it is. It has quite the amount of sex scenes (a few of them fetishy). It also has preachy gay politics at times that take you out of it, but thankfully it's only for a couple lines or in missable content at most, so again easy to ignore. There's also RPG elements and QTEs to provide some distraction but you can turn the latter off completely. I like this one a lot, and it has great pacing. It's replayable due to romance routes and a personality system. Tavern of Spear is mostly just a porn game if you're into that, but it's very ambitious with choice and consequence as kind of a RPG/VN mix. Its description says part of its inspiration was Fallout and you can kind of see that with two hubs so far where you can choose sides and do sidequests. My main complaint is that the story and characters are mediocre and the writer is an asian ESL so the writing itself is...not good, to say the least. I guess it's an okay VN at most if you love kemobara? Minotaur Hotel I have very conflicting feelings on. The art is /beg/ tier, the setting is uninspired (modern civilization but mythological creatures hide themselves among humans), the writing is way too flowery and wordy and won't let you think for yourself for about 14 chapters where it easies up a little, you are forced to romance the minotaur if you don't want to be a complete asshole and do the evil route (which is short and more of a bad end), it can be monotonous a lot of the time, it's got faggot politics here and there, there's a half baked management minigame. But then there's some genuine suspense in the story later on, the twists are good, some of the characters are good (especially the trickster snake), it has diverse designs and mythologies, and above all it has had the most effort/content put into it. On the whole, I didn't like it, but you might.

>>977592 "However, if the player has a roll of rope on them and they pass the checks of Intelligence 6, Agility 6, and Strength 10, they can quickly tie a lasso and catch the creature before pulling it to the shore. The player can then examine the Caenemung and discover that it's female. Male players can then have sex with her. The creature has three orifices, and, if the player chooses to penetrate the bottom one, there's a 33% chance at impregnating her."

I finally fucked the blue serpent lady. I think my issue before when I played was simply that I had autism and wanted to take it slower with multiple sexual encounters when she only gives you one and never shows up again. I'm actually not going to go for Caenemung this time. That's what I always do whenever I play this again. I'll go find Breirb, and then maybe try a female run with Breirb.

>>974835 Yeah...you get used to it after a while. Like finding stuff about transformation that isn't just crossgender/futanari. I want erotic body horror. I want to slowly watch the MC come to terms with his humanity being slowly erased in favor of a new and addictive form or power. The closest I could find is fucking Corruption of Champions and while I don't mind turning into an animal-headed horror, the lack of actual punch to the whole corruption idea aside from "you're hornier...sometimes...if you want to be of course (this is totes reversable, by the way)" takes any punch away.
>>975987 Technically the concept of a female humanoid monster is not inextricably tied to lewds, however succubi are lewd shapeshifting male demons so its kind of weird to have one there. I guess its some kind of 'I can fix her' thing. Actually, do we know if this is a dating simulator?
>>978680 That's an extreme and somewhat disturbing fetish, a bit different to monstergirls. The reason you don't find content for fetishes like that is because they're so esoteric only few have them. Then again there's a lot for the equally odd and disturbing fetish of fatal vore, but vore in general is unique for how common it is among the "weird" kinks.

>>979585 What they're called visual novels by english-speaking people are actually adventure games (ADV) in their country of origin, Japan. The whole debate on claiming they're not videogames is frankly silly, and I argue they're a nice change of pace between an action or strategy game. ADV titles made for consoles also tend to be more fledged out too but they essentially remain Japanese-only. That said, I will never touch a western VN because they generally give off this aspect to be ironic and quirky rather than something actually sincere.

That is such a big problem with western VNs, there are definitely genuine ones (largely by furries, strangely) but so many are either a joke or try to be subversive in some way.

Katawa Shoujo to release officially on Steam An 18+ patch will need to be downloaded separately from the website, see below https://4leafstudios.itch.io/katawa-shoujo https://store.steampowered.com/app/3068300/Katawa_Shoujo/ Fate Extra Record Sneak Peak Trailer, More News Soon More news about the game will be revealed August 4th during the FGO Fes in Japan. Rumors flurry that the game may be given a release date at that time as well as some gameplay footage. Judging by the 'fate' of other Type Moon games lately, it is presumed this game will see a global release with an official English translation either at the same time as the JP release, or shortly after.

Im at chapter 9 and getting relatively close to the ending, id say im 75% done. I was hoping for more thrilling/intense moments but there hasnt been any unfortunately. I have a suspicion that the people raving about it probably have only played ace attorney and dont know what a detective game has the potential for. Not saying ace attorney isnt good, just that there are plenty of better detective games.
Could someone help me with doing some research on a couple of VNs for the Sega Saturn? I saw a copy of Kakyuusei and Kuro no Danshou: The Literary Fragment at a local game story, complete in box, and I wanted to know what differences exist between the Saturn versions and the original PC releases. VNDB lists that the Saturn versions are "censored", but I cannot find any proof of this on my end (Nor what was "censored") and wanted to see if anyone else can find anything about this.
>>1011176 >Ugly characters I dont play Detective games to cum, bro
>>1011843 >censored While I don't know the specifics regarding these two VNs, the console releases of Nipponese VNs virtually always remove seggs scenes, occasionally 〇〇っぼい喋り方 and in some of the gayer cases simple パンチラ。 VNs that don't have segs in them should remain unaffected, but when in doubt always go with the PC-98/X68000/FM Towns release if you can emulate the latter because TOWNSEMU is very user friendly, not just for the H but also the higher resolution CGs+BGs and beautiful FM synth. 同級生なら、the PC Engine CD version oddly enough not only retains but adds additional erotic not found in prior versions.

>>1011843 >>1011888 Thanks to a friend over on PLW, got my answer: >Although some consumers expected the porting of sexually explicit adult games (eroge) later on, the release of games classified as "X-designated" games was no longer permitted from around 1996. >Since then, only "age-restricted (recommended age 18 or older, ie yellow label)" games have been allowed to be released in a manner that suppresses violence and sexual expression. Looking further into this, here's another page that repeats much of the same, but adds a couple of details: https://archive.md/CAn7y <SS's game software system is slightly different from today's game classification, the most special is the X designation (equivalent to today's CERO Z classification), which is very rare for home consoles, but the X designation does have some game content that exceeds the limits of home consoles, such as the degree of nudity, etc. However, this classification was canceled in '96 because of a certain incident, and was changed to the "18+ Prize" classification (equivalent to today's CERO D classification). However, due to an incident in 1996, this classification was canceled and replaced by the "18+ Promotion Award" classification system (equivalent to the current CERO D classification), and basically there has not been such a more open classification system for home consoles since then. Which then led to further searching: https://archive.md/csjT1 <It was in the spring of 1996 that the "X-Designated" titles flourished. The "X" rating refers to the highest age group in Sega's original rating system, and refers to games for players 18 years of age and older. The Sega Saturn, which opened the door to games for adults, made it possible to port PC adult games, which had previously been considered impossible to port to home video game software. <Elf, which was particularly popular on the PC at the time, entered the market and released "Nonomura Hospitals". Other adult-oriented games such as "Kyankyan Bunny Premiere" and "Bishojo Jakushi Suchie Pai II" were also released one after another. <However, the hardware prices had come down, and the market was in a period of expansion for the light and younger age groups. As a result, the fact that adult games could be played made the Sega Saturn stand out from the crowd. As a result, in the fall, Sega made the painful decision to abolish the "X-designation" and restrict the adult-oriented genre. But it looks like, despite the censorship, games having "Hard R" content still sold the console to Japan as "Romance games" didn't exist on the PS1: https://archive.md/0cdgy <However, more present than them in the specialized magazines were the adult adventure games "EVE burst error" and "Lower Class". With the abolition of the "X" rating last fall, the sexual elements were greatly reduced, but these titles attracted attention because they were games that tended not to be released on PlayStation in any case. <Both games had interesting scenarios, and "EVE" in particular was so well received that it was ranked number one in the final readers' popularity ranking, which was a specialty of the specialized magazine "Sega Saturn Magazine. <In addition, romance games featuring beautiful girls, but without sexual elements, also stood out on the Sega Saturn. In particular, "Sentimental Graffiti: First Window," released in a limited edition of 30,000 copies, was a big hit despite the fact that it was a preview disc that was neither an original nor a port. It may have been a monumental game title in which the media mix approach of promoting a single attractive character design was a commercial success. The article further details that the Saturn last ALL it's momentum after the PS1 release of Final Fantasy. So it sort of makes me wonder if they really "gained" anything killing the immediately popular eroge genre of games in favor of aiming for kids.
>>1013399 Yeah I don't think Playstation got much of any PC VN ports unless it was a remake of a pseudo RPG or something like Boundary Gate. Several dating sims from Konami though.
Some potentially good news, but take it with a grain of salt. https://archive.fo/qZ5kW https://archive.fo/6z3Y3 Good Smile Company and Frontwing have announced a new business partnership to develop more visual novels in the future, starting with KANADE in 2025 >As mentioned, the new game has “songs” playing an important role in the story and has Asou Ei handling the script. Character designs are being done by Yusano and Akio Watanabe, and music is being done by Fuminori Matsumoto. While this is very encouraging, I caught this line: <KANADE is in development for Windows PC and will launch sometime in 2025 with support for Japanese, English, and Chinese languages. Which might hint at globalization being at play here. I haven't kept an eye on Frontwing but last I heard Bushiroad acquired a controlling stake in them. Best to watch this cautiously, but nonetheless intriguing.
