>Black wings
That's odd

Only one today

...

Hype, hype

>Rance: Search for Hikari, the 1989 classic that started it all. Only 59.99!

Don't tempt me.

Well it's a short game

...

Let's see if I can bump my own thread yet

Apparently so

1641

...

Is that a mine?

It's a Helman national delicacy

How do you eat a explosive?

Most Helman products are defective.

It's called Helman Roulette

A sharp knife and national pride.

Very carefully

I believe that everyone in thread will get to nakadashi her in game by Christmas

lewd

Are people happy if I upload our Shizuka fanart to the booru?

Absolutely.

impregnation chair thinks she is a captain vanilla

...

If Lia were my elder sister things would be different

If she was your elder sister, you would be a permanent shota.

>no Alma fanart

I didn't expect QD to get so beaten in her own game

Yes, you'd be dead.

That's the elder brothers. I'd support my neesan

Why is he in the Leazas Black Corps?

Leazas unified the world under the heroic King Rance and the beautiful Queen Lia

But he's with them before the heroic Rance became King.

He heard a prophecy from Berksham's apostle

Why did he join Ex's rebellion then?

not canon

Unsourced but a couple of posters on 2ch are claiming a 23rd of December release for Rance X

If that is indeed the case then Alicesoft should start advertising X within the next 2 months

For some reason I've also seen a couple of posts nominating either the 20th or the 21st of August.

Makes some sort of sense given Alicesoft have a stall in comiket in about a week

It's that a little soon? This is going to potentially be AS's biggest release.

They did say 2016 and December 23 is about as close to the end of 2016 as you can get

Yeah I guess so. Still a really small window from nothing to everything. Oh well, hope it's true.

Well they were working on shit from even before IX was released.

Fuck I have no idea if X could possibly ever live up to my expectations and wants. I know there will be things that will disappoint me because of the finality of it all.

Some sex scenes I don't expect and while I know Kamilla won't get a good ending I hope she has some good sex scenes and her character does at least get treated with some respect

She kind of already is treated with respect, and she's not even that important, so she'll probably get referenced along aside Abert. Kinda doubt she'll show up though.

...

Will Reset Bright Slap Kesselring in X?

Reset and Nagi will double team him

...

which demons/villians are still alive after 9?
even those who are sealed/makkenkon

Pic related

Well I'm off to sleep. Stay alive

>Rance X
>all of the Makkenkon/sealed come back
>shitstorms everywhere
>every nation being attacked simultaneously

Knock it off

No

ded

going on a tangent here, do any of you guys play other Hgames? what artists would you like to do guest art for a future rance game?

I don't personally, though I have played some occassional H title from here and there, but I mostly just stick to Alicesoft and nothing else.

Kenkou Cross as long as he sticks to art and has zero input on story, world, or even what snacks to eat during break.

what's so bad about him?

He's pretty bad at the whole world building thing. When it comes to art he's REALLY FUCKING GOOD, but otherwise he'll be the Sakamoto of Rance/AS if he had any influence on the story or characters.

I think both Orion and Gyokai are doing a fine job both for main and remake Rance series so there is no need to replace them by someone from outside. But If Alicesoft is going to go all out with X and it's going to be a huge game I wouldn't mind seeing some parts of its art to be given to Gyokai and Min Nakaren instead putting all load on Orion. One of the bigger annoyances in Quest for me was the lack of full body sprites for many recruitable characters and I don't want to see such halfassed approach for X.

Why do you think that? I don't find the worldbuilding to be that bad. It does mostly feel like a porny joke, but it's still somewhat interesting.

I have a hard time imagining Min Nakaren imitating Orion's style.

He did gal monster CGs for Rance VI. Giving him to make something like that again wouldn't be bad.

It's still pretty bad overall, and has more holes than it should.

HOLY FUCK IF LIA'S HEAD WAS ACTUALLY THAT BEEG

RANCE 06 FUCKING WHEN

06? 2035

After 04, 002 and 05 so in early 20s at best. And only in case if they will continue beyond 04.

How old is Tada currently? I'm not sure if he would even still be alive at that point

002? What do you mean?

TADA mentioned before that he wants a proper remake of II.

I wish we'd get 007.

I want 09, this time with good gameplay.

How about 08 that plays like ff12 with you exploring the continent and doing shit at your own pace while sequence breaking like hell?

I don't want to Rance to make an mmo style "turn based" gameplay.

Luckily, that won't ever happen.

How about a Rance game that plays like the most recent Ys games?

Action gameplay in general is shit for Rance. This is a story heavy H game, so heavy complex action will just suck up budget that should go to better things.

With alternative Shizuka slave end

are you the one user who imported VIII?

Somehow I have a feeling that TADA may retire after the main Rance series will be finished. He didn't expressed any interest in the remakes beyond 04 but he wasn't involved much into creation of 01 and 03 and the people who did most of the job may feel different and Rance remakes looks like a safe bet for titles that aren't going to flop in sales at very least. With enough will and if the company will manage to stay afloat long enough I don't see why they couldn't go all the way to Rance 010 somewhere in 15 - 20 years from now on.

Does he even have the money for that?

He's a founding member, he surely has some savings given how completely violate the market is and how much he seems to know it is.

He's also like mid 50s at his oldest, has been working in a tiny injury for the love of it and Japanese life expectancy is in the 80s

Eroge would not pay well at all

I have a confession to make /haniho/.

I play the Rance games, not to masturbate to the heroines, but to masturbate to Rance.

Am I weird?

Yes.

> Rance is almost over.

Fucking hell. Can we get some spinoffs at least? Like a SoL Rance VN spinoff or something?

What am I supposed to do with myself when it's all over? Help me.

Nothing wrong with that.

04

Fucking hell, I came here to make a big post and we're on page 10. What the fuck guys?

Also, what happened to no-longer-NEET user?

Probably working as a no-longer-NEET person should be

what's the big post then?
the /d/elivery?

>do any of you guys play other Hgames?
I recently did a lot of clearing out of my hard drive. While I've yet to finish, and have been quite busy recently (haven't even fapped in over a month). All I've got saved now that isn't from Alicesoft are these:
Cresendo (VN - installed not because I like it, but because I plan to replay it for some academic reasons)
Kamidori (still yet to play it)
Kasumi Rebirth
Fairy Fighting (barely made any progress with it, but I often find myself fapping much faster than usual after starting to play it)
If Fap Heros count as games, I've got a bunch of them.
Lets Meow Meow (I'll probably never replay it, but it's a good laugh).
My Girlfriend is the President (hilarious game, I still need to get the full English version)
Ronin - Spirit of the Sword (still yet to play it)
Violated Heroine (I stopped at a point where I was happy, I'll probably play it in a more completionist manner some time later)
Virgin Roster (still yet to play it)
Everything Z-ONE has ever made.

I'm also planning to redownload SlaveMaker and CoC sometime, but I don't think much of either of those games.

There is no way they will stop making Rance games after X. There is easily enough content for another decade of games without it even looking as milking the franchise

All the fanart done here was emailed to AS HQ.

I spend most of my time playing eroge, Alicesoft is a top priority company.

Oh no.

Would be funny if it was true.

Here's some stuff from last thread:

>ashikaga yoshite
>can you take on orochi with generics like him
Yes, in fact, points runner take out Orochi with a bunch of random generics.

>I'm off to sleep now but I'll try and discuss this further when I wake up
Still waiting to hear back from this user, or anyone else on and .

>At calculus I was having some trouble with integrals involving trigonometric functions, but I might just be getting the gist of it.
I'm a maths undergrad, but despite that it's been a while since I've done any pointlessly difficult calculus. Here's the tips that I remember:
If you speak French, look up Regles de Bioche.
If you're losing all hope, look up the Weierstrass substitution.
If you're just simply stuck, check that what you're integrating isn't just a simple derivative of a logarithm.
Learn your basic integrals and derivatives, if you don't know these, you'll never build intuition or spot the logs.
There's also a few general tricks for integration by substitution, although it's too long to put here. Basically, memorise your trig identities and look out for them. For example if you see an integral involving a^2 + x^2, you should try x=a tan u or x=a sihn u for reasons that should be retrospectively obvious.


Hmm, weird - I could sware there was more stuff I needed to catch up on from last thread. Have I missed some unanswered SR stuff?
