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?
Zachary Bailey

Kevin Cooper
Unsourced but a couple of posters on 2ch are claiming a 23rd of December release for Rance X
Luis Jones
If that is indeed the case then Alicesoft should start advertising X within the next 2 months
Benjamin Morris
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
Luke Reyes
It's that a little soon? This is going to potentially be AS's biggest release.
Mason Cooper
They did say 2016 and December 23 is about as close to the end of 2016 as you can get
James Ramirez
Yeah I guess so. Still a really small window from nothing to everything. Oh well, hope it's true.
Jaxson Thompson
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
Jack Lewis
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.

Hudson Flores
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?
Carson Williams
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.
Cooper Richardson
Kenkou Cross as long as he sticks to art and has zero input on story, world, or even what snacks to eat during break.
Jaxson Adams
what's so bad about him?
Alexander Peterson
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.
Ian Kelly
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.
Owen White
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.
Austin Baker
I have a hard time imagining Min Nakaren imitating Orion's style.
Gavin Mitchell
He did gal monster CGs for Rance VI. Giving him to make something like that again wouldn't be bad.
Liam Turner
It's still pretty bad overall, and has more holes than it should.
Camden Collins
HOLY FUCK IF LIA'S HEAD WAS ACTUALLY THAT BEEG
Sebastian Powell
RANCE 06 FUCKING WHEN
Wyatt Cruz
06? 2035
Elijah Rivera
After 04, 002 and 05 so in early 20s at best. And only in case if they will continue beyond 04.
Adam Richardson
How old is Tada currently? I'm not sure if he would even still be alive at that point
Nathaniel James
002? What do you mean?
Sebastian Walker
TADA mentioned before that he wants a proper remake of II.
Brayden Price
I wish we'd get 007.
Juan Rogers
I want 09, this time with good gameplay.
Luis Williams
How about 08 that plays like ff12 with you exploring the continent and doing shit at your own pace while sequence breaking like hell?
James Hernandez
I don't want to Rance to make an mmo style "turn based" gameplay.
Jordan Cox
Luckily, that won't ever happen.
Samuel Thomas
How about a Rance game that plays like the most recent Ys games?
Samuel Hill
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.
Nathaniel Ramirez
With alternative Shizuka slave end
Robert Nelson
are you the one user who imported VIII?
Parker Brown
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.
Leo Robinson
Does he even have the money for that?
Lucas Hill
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.
Tyler Ward
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
Parker Morgan
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?
Noah Martin
Yes.
Matthew Williams
> 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.
Mason Fisher
Nothing wrong with that.
Nolan Ortiz

Jack Lewis
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?
Daniel Richardson
Probably working as a no-longer-NEET person should be
Isaiah Cooper
what's the big post then? the /d/elivery?
Asher Howard
>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.
Wyatt Foster
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
Jack Morales
All the fanart done here was emailed to AS HQ.
John Perez
I spend most of my time playing eroge, Alicesoft is a top priority company.
Jordan Gray
Oh no.
Jose Bennett
Would be funny if it was true.
Chase Hill
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?
