Dead forever.

Here is the Rance IX summary paste
pastebin.com/Pks1Gryr

...

I basically have to stop sleeping I guess

In Rance IV is it possible to keep Shizuka at level 3 for the final boss?

Less than a month to the OVA

Anyone know how long IX's script is? I wonder how long it'd take to actually translate.

It feels like the longest Rance game but Quest is hard to judge

>It feels like the longest Rance game

Huh, really? I played both it and Quest and I don't recall IX being that long compared to Quest... Quest was long as fuck, especially with Magnum.

And while IX did have the multiple endings, Quest had six billion character interactions and sidequests. But then again maybe it just felt longer because there was a lot of grinding, I dunno.

Yeah. It's hard to judge because IX is pretty linear while Quests' is pretty disjoint with a lot of gameplay in between

Just a did a quick check by decompiling the games' files. Seems like Rance IX has more characters, but Rance Quest Magnum has more lines of text. This is probably because a lot of RQM's text is just short little names and tiny strings. So overall it seems like IX would actually take longer than Quest to translate, probably. Didn't expect that.

I think Quest with Magnum with newest patch is definitely longer than IX. It is also possible that IX is shorter than VI or Sengoku.

IX is definitely longer than VI and Sengoku.

IX seems short since it's mostly text with a bit of gameplay in-between. Other titles have gameplay with text in-between, so they seem longer.

You'll finish IX quicker than you finish VI or Sengoku but in terms of text it's a much longer game

That seems about right

Quest Magnum is longer than both VI and Sengoku in terms of text iirc. So IX can't be shorter than VI or VII.

8/10 would clang

Holy fuck, why do I have a save nearly 300 turns into FFA?

Also, p10.

I wonder if Rance can fuck her

Question for those of us here who go on other boards as well: is there a specific time when it seems shittier than usual to you?

>Question for those of us here who go on other boards as well: is there a specific time when it seems shittier than usual to you?
Yes, when you start posting.

/m/ is shit all the time and I only go to /a/ for specific threads of anime I'm watching. And those threads aren't the most active anyway.

That would require me to be aware of what the time is

Most computers have the ability to display a clock, what's your excuse?

I have no reason to pay attention to what the time is?

>Escalayer Edition
>Thread dies.

Fucking hell, I'm the guy who was having Yokai problems last thread. So I went and loaded up the only other save I could find where I'd been capping them.

I don't get this shit, I've lost count of how many times I've tried to capture different girls, and on this KTM save, I've yet to fail.

Blows my fucking mind.

I've been too busy replaying srwz 2.1 lately, then again the thread died when I was asleep.

I was also asleep.

It's the non-Australians letting us down

Well sorry I have things to do.

youtube.com/watch?v=4frSyj18kKI

From what I remember, If you take SR script as base, then:
VI = 31/30 SR
IX = 7/6 SR
RQM = 3/2 SR

ded

Does Kichokou Rance have any music or did I fuck something up? This shit is creepily silent

You fucked up. KR has music and it's really good.

youtube.com/watch?v=UoBFDWNLUNA

You fucked something up. I never had that problem so I don't know how to fix it.

It's supposed to play music, the translation patch along with all the other old games should have something to fix it.

Fair enough.

Something being shit doesn't prevent it from having times when it's even shittier than usual, though I'm sure you already knew that.

Alright, I just installed the inmm thing wrong
apparently. I gotta say the little 80s OP thing was kinda hilarious what with the frolicking portraits.

I know, but I can't judge it because it's old. This one's better.

I don't know it that's what that user was implying

Ugly butt, not even good petite little kind

>Mangagamer released Gahkthun five months ago
Where the fuck was I, and how did I not hear about this? Is it worth buying if I loved Inganock and liked Sharnoth?

You really should just check the weekly translation status thread on /jp/, you won't miss stuff that way

No, 10.

I really want Atlach Nacha, if anything deserves a remake, it's that one.

Rance X comes first

so do I

>it's a beach event

Has there been any shred of news about Rance 10 yet?

I think I might've cracked the Yokai girls stuff. It's random, but it's determined as soon as the game knows what units you're going to face.

This might also have something to do with why hardly anyone reports failure capturing the girls - when they first appear, the game knows that you're going to face them, and they might be hard coded to be capped if you succeed the first time (or, it may just be that whatever is used to make the game force the girl to be present in the battle also puts the RNG in the right state for them to be capped).

Thoughts? It's what my current experiments seem to show - if I screenshot before I find out if I've got the girl or not, then I note down the result of the fight (get the girl or not) and then reload, it seems that I can predict whether or not I'm getting the girl based on the enemy formation that I see upon scouting.

Not yet. Hence why we're so quiet.

Should start getting stuff in a few months

That is the sort of lazy programming Alicesoft do so makes sense

P10.

Is there anything I should touch up or change on the SR side of the wiki? I'm finally getting round to attending to all those nitpicks I listed like 50 threads ago.

You should play KR already

What's lazy about it?

wait is that really rance?

Teitoku Rance

One of them seems to have forgotten her bikini.

Also just found a guy doing a voiced playthrough of Rance 03

Reminder to everyone that our first match in the Veeky Forums league is in seven hours

>Also just found a guy doing a voiced playthrough of Rance 03
Link?

And oh, 03 did have a version of the mahou tsukai no onna no ko, didn't notice because of different name and being slower paced.

youtube.com/watch?v=BkdOyPvlwKY

It plays during the touching Ithere and Shizuka moments

Yeah, I played the game. I just never noticed the similarity with 魔法使いの女の子, which was basically the 4 witches (but manly) Shizuka theme

I often forget that it was originally connected with Maria and the others as well

qualifier isn't streamed, is it?

But yuri is boring, user.

it is

Bump

...

Execute.

/haniho/ has been executed.

We'll die when the ova is released because everyone will be too busy fapping

Obviously the thread died when just the preview images were posted and the people bumping were too busy fapping to Lia and Maris

Don't worry, the animation of the ova is so clunky and messed up I can't fap to it.

>Page 9+1

I don't know about that hard coded thing, but I did realize that I had much harder time to capture them at higher difficulty (and harder means the chance to trigger the capture scenes is smaller, not the difficulty of defeating them in battle).

You need to get more creative.

I just need to stop being lazy and go through all those pixiv pages recover the pics I lost when my computer exploded.

Yeah, I can't really get myself in the OVA. I mean, it's nice to see Rance getting more popular via this adaption, but the animation is so dissapointing. I enjoy fapping to the Rance 1 Doujinshi (the pulptenks's one) 10 times better than the OVA.

youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7zndjgosVRc_hYn_7Q2Ocqn-OfTpItge

Is Rance getting more popular?

So far the OVA has been shit.

I can fap to Lia and Maris screenshots

implyingrigged.info/wiki/Main_Page

Remember that we will be playing in just under 1 and a half hours

Go to the hitbox link in this page

I hope we get less raped than /xcg/ is getting right now.

hopefully

I just took a quick look at some hentai online websites, there are some people commenting that they like the ova and even asked where can they get the eroge. So yes, Rance is getting more popular.

The last time I read about websites like that was someone ranking the rance ova (reason being it's too hyped) in the bottom 5 while some generic wife ntr-rapefest was the best one
Impossible to take anyone seriously about these things
