/evn/ English Visual Novel General

What kind of bi are you?

...

I bet that bicycle gets more pussy than you.

I just imagined this girl bald, and the size of her head terrifies me.

Fuck. Can't unsee. Why do people always forget basic anatomy? Even in moe blobs, there's some sort of guide on doing foreheads.

"Basic anatomy" regardless has become so overused in this thread it's become a meme at this point. This is reaching ulnar styloid levels where any slight mistake is the artist "not knowing basic anatomy".

Higurashi had characters with christmas hams for hands, this shit is beginning to sound like taking every excuse to disregard an entire game because "Oh shit, one character has a big forehead, my peepee will never be hard again."

An anatomical error could get jarring sometimes. Stylized art is understandable but even then, there are particular rules for it. Unless, "quality" is a meme now.

It's like this for most anime girls. The size of the head is huge, but the hair conceals that fact. It's only really noticeable here because her hairline is so high up.

I found a better negative review for Highway Blossoms from a lesbian who thought it was written by men and for men.

steamcommunity.com/id/berraquera/recommended/451760/

That ulnar styloid caused both mental and ocular trauma and had to be stopped.

Why do lesbians hate fluff yuri?

>it was written by men and for men
Is that a problem?

>The main character's motivation is mostly that she wants to protect the other girl, who is incessantly described by her innocence and child-like perspective. I've never been into yuri and thought these might be anime tropes that I'm unfamiliar with, so I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, but all of my good will was exhausted even before the second sex scene ended in a fake climax.

>The reason I chose Highway Blossoms over another visual novel for my first foray into yuri was because of the American Southwest treasure hunt aspect. Unfortunately, there's barely any treasure hunting, and while you do learn about a couple of tourist attractions in the American Southwest, the adventure makes up very little of the game as opposed to the romance, which isn't good enough to compensate for the scarcity of plot.

It sounds like matching styles is more important in your VN, and by extension that'd mean you're doing the right thing by putting in that effort. Your audience mightn't consciously notice but the style of a VN's art, music, etc. will still influence how they feel and experience your work.

In the VN I'm doing BGs for the characters don't seem to be presented as though they're literally in the BG. It's more like "hey, this is the context you're in", with cut-ins for other stuff the MC might focus on. I'm also somewhat matching pre-existing art too.

Even if your BG art doesn't look good to you, remember that it doesn't need to stand alone. It exists in the context of the VN you're making, and can still have positive (if subconscious) benefits. It's telling the audience where they are and the art as a whole is coming across in a consistent style. Those two things together are good.

Go easy on yourself :)

Did you write this review?

Sounds like someone who isn't a weeb and obviously isn't into stories with weeb-ish character archetypes.

Anyway, I'm a lesbian and I personally enjoy most yuri "aimed at men". Apparently I have similar sexual tastes to men? Most gay girls I've heard say that just seem bothered it's not a super realistic story about being gay in real life and are they kind of people who want only strong womyn tumblr stories. Cute romance is nice sometimes.

>Did you write this review?
No, it's just currently the top negative review.

>I personally enjoy most yuri "aimed at men"
....Which is 95% of it.

Probably the most uplifting comment I've read in /evn/. You're a good user.

And this is bad because?

>yuri aimed at men

This is shit insane feminists say because they personally dislike sex appeal and what to shame women who do like sex appeal.

Their ideal yuri is 80 episodes of gasping and staring at each other before one either dies or gets married to a dude.

This. They don't like women being sexualized in any way. If yuri games that have hot girls in sexy clothes are what constitutes "aimed at men", then bring on more of those please.

I'm gonna set all you motherfuckers straight

Naked girls are aimed at people who enjoy naked girls

Naked boys are aimed at people who enjoy naked boys

now shut the FUCK up and just recognize that highway blossoms is trash

What if I enjoy both?

Then you are bisexual you dumbass.

...

I'll also add that yuri stories are relatively unpopular with men compared to yaoi with girls. This is because while most men enjoy seeing two chicks fuck when it comes to romance they usually would rather be able to self insert because they want be the one romancing and sticking their dick in their waifu. Which is understandable, if I had a dick I'd also want to stick it in my waifu. But because of that, out of het, yaoi and yuri, yuri is by far the most niche of the three. This is why you don't get a whole lot of yuri doujins and stories (that aren't basically moe SoL cuteness) out if Japan, and why in the West yuri productions tend to have a sizeable fanbase of bi/gay women. Straight women will sometimes enjoy yuri just out of pure enjoyment of cute fluffy relationships too.

TL;DR Men don't even like "yuri aimed at men" all that much.

>highway blossoms
I-I liked goofball mode.

This is the best yuri. Prove me wrong.

i like a challenge, so i raise you this; no ass licking yet

What do girls even do with butts?

Anything you can do with an ass that doesn't involve a penis.

This and Prism. Too bad Prism was canceled. It's hard to have yuri with interesting conflict that isn't just ANNNGST like Citrus

>that doesn't involve a penis
What's the point?

yeah asian webtoons do fluffy yuri better at this point.

Well I'm not much of an ass person myself but touching them is pretty nice. Some people like to eat ass. Also some girls like being fucked in the ass, so lesbo girls might use a dildo in that case.

But user don't you know women can't possibly have gross fetishes!!!!

Pfft. If only they knew how perverted old school yuri manga were. And those were the og yuri, gay women making gay mango for gay women.

I want to make a eroge about a male teacher pursuing a naive male student among other characters. What's the best way to make this game?

Get off Veeky Forums and start working on it you lazy shit, that's the best way.

Become a gay male teacher that pursues male students, then write about your experience.

I know nothinf about teaching. Without being a teacher, how do I found out what being a teacher is like?

There's this really amazing tool they invented. All you need to do is type in a few words and you will find millions of results to help you research almost any topic. It's called "google". You should check it out sometime.

It's like being a student, but you have less tolerance to noise (fucking brats yelling everywhere. How come it doesn't give them headaches, are they retarded or just deaf?).
You repeat the same lesson for a bunch of different classes. Kids expect you to remember their 120 names after a week because they remember yours. About a 20% of your students are nice and smart people you really care for, but you rarely can give them attention because you are expected to babysit the other morons.
Grading tests is a royal pain in the ass. Also, you have to deal with a lot of nonsensical reunions whith other teachers where they moan about problems that would remain unsolvable until the day they grow a spine and fucking do something about it. But they never do.
Fortunately where I live parents are not too retarded (yet, the percentage grows every year), Most still react when you tell them to do something about their kid being a jerk, but a few will try to sue you over literally nothing. Oh, and if you happen to be female, some will even try to hit you.
And that is factoring the lack of guns in my country, and the fact that I work in a middle class high school, with little to none problem with immigration, gangs and all that shit you see in americlap movies.

...

I want to take someone there and hug_ them.

Looking great so far. W/c game?

Needs some more textures or filters or something, looks like a cheap FMV adventure game like that.

Clearly Yuri made by men for men. Sweet innocent girls are not capable of sexualizing others in that way.

You know what? I think I figured out the problem. The girls writing those reviews are so fucking ham ugly or opinionated that they never have any sexual encounters or relationships. So it seems alien to them that girls could be like that. If only they met some of the girls I've met in my life...

>Well I'm not much of an ass person myself

Fuck off.

Tits > Ass, accept it.

>plebs, plebs everywhere.jpg

I'm leaving for a little bit, don't let the thread die.

t. raithfyre

I can't find it now but there's a graphic that shows almost all first world countries prefer tits and mostly third world shitholes are majority ass. Tits are for the thinking man.

...

W/c?

But what if asses are actually fake tits all along? They don't even have nipples.

Psycho-Pass season 2

...

Can any kind, programming inclined soul tell me why at_list doesn't recognize 'size'? Doesn't matter if the s is capitalized or not, renpy still tells me that the global name 'size' is not defined.
renpy.show(sprite, at_list=[Position(xpos = x, xanchor= x, ypos= y, yanchor= y), size(h, w)])

I'm using this in a function within an init python block, if that matters.

this may be a very stupid piece of advice, but have you tried defining size in an earlier init (like init -100) before running the function?

Maybe 'size' is not defined, but 'width' and 'height' are?

I'm learning as I go along, so I wouldn't really know if that's a stupid piece of advice or not, but according to renpy's documentation, at_list should be able to take any expression at can, which would include size. Like Position, it shouldn't need to be defined.

Unfortunately no. I've also tried scale. They all give me the same error message.

...

But he has a bag of blood right on the table. What a greedy bastard.

There are men who love yuri aimed at men. Particularly the men who are really, really into Pure Yuri (the kind where they never have sex) because they hate themselves and wish they could be a pure innocent little girl forever.

Most actual lesbians I know find this shit pretty frustrating.

Men aren't all the same.

Try this. Make a transform:

transform my_size(w,h):
size (w,h)

then use that in your at_list=[my_size(w,h), Position(xpos = x, xanchor= x, ypos= y, yanchor= y)]

I'm not familiar with the particular code you're using - is size actually a function?

Things in yuri that are assumed to be aimed at men:

- no sex ever (purest form of love)
- too much sex (fetish porn)
- girls who only ever love once (purity fag)
- girls who have had multiple relationships (which means they're sluts so guys think they have a chance)
- sweet moe girls dressed in school uniforms
- skanks dressed in ways you'd be embarrassed to be seen in public
- no bisexuals
- bisexuals
- anything a particular reader doesn't like

It's not just yuri fans though, a lot of people will assume anything they find personally dubious is obviously gross pandering to their enemies.

Random game idea:
Very active and aggressive pink haired, overweight feminist finds out that she is actually infatuated with men. This whole time, she was fighting her own insecurities. Love interests include a tsundere MGTOW advocate, men's rights activist leader, a neo nazi redneck from the south, two sizable black brothers, and a nerd who works part time at a doughnut shop.

If you want to use this idea it's free. Don't worry about crediting me.

Renpy accepts this, so it looks like I did have to manually define it after all, but now the sprite no longer appears when I implement it.

Maybe I should just post the function and what I'm using to call it in case any incredibly kind and patient soul is willing to tell me what I'm doing wrong and how dumb I am.
init -1 python:
def showSprite(x, y, sprite, h, w, t):
global movement_minutes = 0 #including global gives me a syntax error. can't figure out why it doesn't want me to reassign the value. Is global even needed to properly reassign the value of this variable?
renpy.transition(dissolve)
renpy.show(sprite, at_list=[Position(xpos = x, xanchor= x, ypos= y, yanchor= y), my_size(h,w)]) #the sprite doesn't appear when I include my_size. Sprite will otherwise appear in the upper left, regardless of what I pass to Position
if movement_minutes >= t: #will need some way to be able to pause this if the player starts a conversation
renpy.transition(dissolve)
renpy.hide(sprite) #the sprite does not hide properly

and the call:
$ showSprite(900, 600, "aiga", .5, .5, 5)

It was under the list of transform properties and a friend of mine said it would work, but I guess not.

>"All she needed was a good dicking to set her straight!" as secondary title.
What could possibly go wrong?

Your biting satire arouses me. Truly, you are a god among devs.

I'm not sure why you're creating your own functions to begin with, it's hard to tell if you know enough about this sort of thing to have any hope of making sense of code (and as you notice, pasting code here doesn't work well, all your whitespace has disappeared)

Where are you getting the information that Position and size are functions? There's a note in the RenPy code that there USED to be a Position function years ago, but it's long since deprecated and replaced by ATL.

Are you being fed random snippets of code by people who last used the program ten years ago, rather than starting from the beginning and looking things up as they currently exist?

>Renpy accepts this, so it looks like I did have to manually define it after all,
No, it's just that you're trying to use things that don't exist in the first place. Since they don't exist, unsurprisingly they don't work.

>global movement_minutes = 0 #including global gives me a syntax error. can't figure out why it doesn't want me to reassign the value. Is global even needed to properly reassign the value of this variable?

What on EARTH are you trying to do?

If you want to modify a global variable in a function you need to declare it at top, but do you actually want a global variable here, and if so, why?

Your code doesn't make any sense, and I keep feeling like it would be more useful to encourage you to use actual renpy commands instead of trying to write your own in python.

I think people would buy this just to see a feminist scum get dicked straight.

but... most feminists are straight. plenty of them are cockthirsty. have you never met a woman?

You'd be better off just making a Gor game. Then the stupid whiny feminists who get dragged in from Earth and made into sex slaves for True Men are at least hot.

I could recommend titles if you want to read the books.

>have you never met a woman?
I don't hang around feminists. Is there something you want to confess? Scum?

>Prove me wrong.
Has cheating later on. That makes it bad.

>implying its cheating when she still faps to it

>Scum?
No, I'm not an artist

>dat feel when nerdy lesbian will never worship my butt and fuck me in public restrooms

What did you just said to me.

Not all cheating is NTR, but all NTR is cheating. Otherwise it's just cuckoldry.

Is this character acceptable for a mainstream VN? Why or why not?

I know I've been doing this too long when I immediately recognize the artist.

I don't see any problem with it.

>tfw no butt

Fucking furry.
But you can make furry games if you want to, it's not my job to stop it.

Good, people here are degenerate enough to know what Kemono is, right? So I have a choice of making a character like that, or just having them be the run of the mill human with animal ears and tail. I'm not sure the Western audience is ready to delve in that far. The hatred for anything with fur runs deep in the west. I don't know how big of a risk it would be to use a character like this.

The majority of the characters are generic humans that everyone loves don't worry.
