/evn/ - Summer Fling Edition

Here's the post about Phantom the Rebound being an Aki Sekai scam for anyone who missed it.

Also, freelancers should have more common sense than this.

Why do we always get a burst of post with a new general but let it reduce to a pitiful spasming thread on its death throes by the time we reach the end.

Think JP will review Sakura Dungeon? I know he said he's done with the series, but this one has gameplay and is supposedly the best Sakura game yet.

Will Highway Blossoms be the savior of yuri evn?

anyone here actually reads his reviews?

Yeah, is there any warning sign that writer didn't cheerfully ignore?

>kinetic novel
The only thing its saving is me, from my sleep deprivation.

You can't do it.

I am doing it!

I love him. He's an intelligent reviewer, his reviews are on-point, they're witty and honest. I can't wait for him to shit on winged shit again.

You're right. I should never have even considered pursuing my dream.

He seems to have started since Feb 14th and has $188 on patreon patreon.com/user?u=2694780&alert=2&ty=h
If this guy is aki sekai/omniknight, then he's having a field day rn

>He said he didn’t have any start-up capital. He said I had to work for royalties. I thought, “Whatever, visual novels are cool. I’m just excited to be part of this.”

That's where I'd have cheerfully noped the fuck out of there.

You can't finish anything with that attitude boy. Believe in your own fucking story.

Who yaoijam here?

Yeah. Procrastinating tonight, like a dumbass. Still have a few hours left before I sleep, so might pull my thumb out before bed.

You can do it, user.

I couldn't get any work done the past four days, was out of town. Shit sucks.

How's your workload looking?

Technically, I'm still about 4 days ahead of schedule, I guess.

According to my vague idea of my schedule, month one is for the first draft of the script and if I don't feel like writing, then I should at least do concept art/sketches. Month two is putting together the placeholders and script and then replacing the placeholders. If there's any time left over, I get to try the non-essentials. Not doing anything fancy with the coding, so hopefully I can finish everything I want.

Sorry to hear you were out of town. You feel like you're still on track even so?

I'm one half of a two person team.

The partner's been spectacular about their workload, so now I feel even worse.
Just gotta go and catch up.

Nah - don't feel bad. Presumably you both knew in advance you'd have to go out of town. The other half trucking ahead just means that you have something to work off of instead of both of you having a cold start. You can play off of what they did and probably end up much more productive.

My game contains loli, futa, traps, milfs, monsters, and little sisters. Can I market it as diversity?

but does it have black people

you can't market it as anything if it has loli, unless you live in gook land or some weird scrubby place.

of course, don't forget "trans visibility" and "sex positive" :^)

>black people
Of course not. Even I have my limit. You might as well have me add Muslims and Canadians too.

Who wants to fuck something with a flappy head?

>I wonder if there are decent EVNs on android...
>They're probably shorter and a bit different because they're supposed to be read on a smaller screen but that's okay, right?

I wish I had never looked.

elaborate, I can't be arsed to google it with such a retarded title

Canadian here,
I'm officially apologetic for whatever we did to deserve this
Best wishes
-take care

Turns from slice of life with a dash of mystery in the first episode (only one that's free) into an full time SJW advert by the fith one. Choice don't carry over between episodes, so the writting is pretty ambiguous when it comes to previous events, and choices don't really seem to matter at all.

I feel sorry for people who actually paid money for this. Or perhaps this is actually a pretty elaborate joke.

gross

Head... what?!

Blame Canada!

Headcanon means things you the reader/viewer like to believe about characters in a story that are not explicitly stated to be true. Sometimes it means it's a theory which COULD be true. Sometimes you know it's not the case but this is the version of events that you prefer to think about.

It's most commonly a shorthand way of differentiating when you're talking about the official canon and when you're talking about your opinions/desires.

Many people headcanon that Elsa in Frozen is gay. It's not actual canon.

You bumped the age of consent up from 14.

You can probably get an exception if your religion says it's okay. People already get to bring knives to school for that reason, after all.

When can I start?

I wonder if any of these are real people or actually work for him.

kek

I don't know if I find it more irritating that people would feel the need to give it a stupid name, or to use it as a verb. Or that there was no hyphen in there.

I'll blame Canada.

I don't get the joke.

What's with everyone and Canadians in this thread? Are they making some serious CVN project I don't know about?

Would anybody happen to know where I could find Visual novel sprites so I could fool around on tyrano builder, without having to rip them from vn's myself?

Cuck Visual Novel? Yeah, that's how Canadians roll.

One can only hope. At the very least it looks like it's going to be better than the Human Reignition Project demo.

Co-produced with Sweden

The Phantom the Rebound scam is getting even better. Someone claiming to have worked for Aki Sekai says that he's not behind the second scam kickstarter, another scammer is. Though he can't explain why Aki Sekai's patreon is still actively collecting money for the project. This sounds like bs and for all we know this employee could be Aki Sekai himself. Look up user Dubisek on reddit for his complete list of bs.

there was a post on the 'visual novel developers' facebook page about this, it's the exact same guy. someone posted a lot of proof and screenshots.

honestly you'd have to be as dumb as people who think dharker studios isn't ajtilley anymore.

He's trying to blame Lost Fables AKA I.C.E group AKA NOVEL TEA GAMES, who made the Runeous vn, as being the one responsible.

what a confusing fucking web of lies
let's just kill him

fools, he will rise again more powerful than you can imagine

>omniknight, AJtilley and tyranobuilder are the three prophesized heads of the beast
we have tons of false messiahs too
shit, it's going down

With all the scam vn crowdfunding efforts, I'm surprised that crowdfunding platforms just don't ban vns.

You think other crowdfunding types aren't equally full of scams and nonsense? VNs have never gotten near the drama of some of the really big scams. We're tiny.

Sakura Dungeon is the most controversial Sakura game to date. People have been reporting it to Valve to its content (that they assume they know) and its 18+ patch left and right.

How do you know what's being reported?

People on the Sakura Dungeon forums have been talking about it. People have started bringing up Sakura Dungeon in the Steam review thread in order to get it removed.

Why?

Normies hate anime boobs

>These anime girls with huge boobs must be children!
>Why is porn allowed on Steam?

>that feel when in [current year] 'normie' has replaced 'normalfag'
Fucking riajuus

>most controversial Sakura game to date
Can't be only the anime boobs.

I wonder if all the yuri rape has something to do with it? And some people insist the characters depicted are underage, so...

It's an RPG, so it gets noticed by more people than things corralled into just the visual novel pen? It was released 18+ before the Steam version, making the initial reaction more hostile?

Because it's good.

>underage
>every character has at least a G-cup
okay?

Some people think all anime is aimed at pedophiles because of the big eyes, this shouldn't be new to you.

For that matter, oppai lolis are a thing.

But how will I get exposure?

Should I get a publisher? Is 80% the going rate for a publisher?

Should I relinquish all rights to my work in the contract?

You should strip naked and climb a building holding a banner for you game. The news coverage will ensure your success.

I'll do it! Next time you see someone doing something colossaly stupid on the news, that will be me.

Thanks, I'll get right on that. But I won't do it naked, I'll wear one of those old-fashioned Japanese underwear, the Fundoshi.

I love Wanaca's art and you can't stop me.

I'm not going to play the game because it's yuri and also not voice acted, which is an absolute must for porn, but I did look through the assets. The decensor patch actually makes some of the CGs less hot, like one with a fox spirit that's got a charm slapped on her no-no zone that just gets removed with the patch.

>I want EVNs to look like low budget jap shit

Why even bother with a separate thread?

>winterwolves.com/heirsandgraces.htm

i guess this is out? this is the second time i've been unsure if something from him was actually out, the other time being PSCD

>on her no-no zone
It's called a cunt, vagina, pussy, fishy trap, camel toe, etc

That's not what I said.

No, they taught me about it in sex ed. It's the no-no zone.

Please don't trigger .

It's listed as released on vndb, and he tweeted about it 10 minutes ago.

Charm pasties are the best.

:^)

there's no accounting for taste, but good god, those sprites.

That's from the guy who thought PS:CD's art was good instead of nightmare inducing.
