Nice OP, man. Keep up the good work

Best thread in a while

This is now a Subashibby thread

More depressed than gloomy, and in some cases not for the entire VN.
Shikkoku no Sharnoth
Sekien no Inganock
Kazoku Keikaku
Comyu
Rewrite

Alrighty then

>English

Any novels with elves?

So as to enable EOPs to enjoy it too. This is their(mine too for the moment) thread after all

Reposting from last thread, BDH confirmed on twitter that Trample's translation is done

>6 AM announcement: Trample on Schatten's translation is now officially, finally, totally, after way, way, way too long, 100% complete.

>tfw Kyonyuu Fantasy comes out a day before my birthday
hype. it will be my first fap as a 19 year old.

God, I feel old. I'm in my early 30s.

You needn't spoilertag that! I'm a young boy who turned 20 years old in the middle of Otakon where MangaGamer granted us Rance

...

>mine too

Subahibi is translated, DxS and herkz have already played it. And this is still my thread because I haven't finished my first untranslated porn yet

When the fuck is KeroQ going to release SubaHibi in English?

Partials don't count. Get the fuck out, pseudo-JOP.
Oh, wait. You don't actually have the proficiency required not to get laughed out of that thread. Enjoy pseudo-JOP purgatory. You're not welcome anywhere.

After the Ikikoi kickstarter.

>You’ll also have to deal with knowing that the vast majority of people who read visual novels in English don’t have the level of reading comprehension or education necessary to really start to approach interpreting and understanding SubaHibi on anything but a surface level, so your efforts in translating it will be mostly wasted.
- Moogy, KeroQ marketing division

Thank you very much.

Stop posting this meme.

Nah, even Moogy who hasn't done anything to the project has the complete version in his pc

It's true, though. You dumbfucks wouldn't be able to comprehend SubaHibi on anything but a surface level, so why hype it and threaten to kill yourselves if it isn't released soon? Either way, the translation is shit. Cross Channel tier shit. Even if you could understand it, the translator sure didn't.

How do you guys feel about Alchemy Meister? The gameplay seems to be pretty good, but what's worrying me is, that the gameplay is said to be >50 hours. I am unironically fucking autistic and sometimes I just drop games on a whim if they go on for too long, because I lose interest. For example I stopped Demonbane somewhere halfway through, although it was pretty good. My attention span is fucked. Does the game hold you tight?

1 route isn't 50 hours long.

The game is better known as kamidori. I liked the gameplay very much and didn't get burned out but I dropped it because the romance was bad

Go ahead and post a passage that got lost in translation then. Be sure to post both the Japanese and English text for comparison. I'll decide for myself if it's that bad.

go finish demonbane you fag

>Does the game hold you tight?

>stopped Demonbane somewhere halfway through
You won't finish Kamidori. Don't even try. 100% completion takes hundreds of hours.

There are much better gameplay VNs.

Name eight.

>"Why does /vn/ hate this? It's great!"
>then comes the "We have to save the club!" cliche part
>it's been on that for the last 5~ hours

I can't put it down because of the characters, but fuck do I hate the plot

AoKana is much better.

SubaHibi when?

Rance 01-08

Persona 3
Persona 4
Devil Survivor
Devil Survivor 2
E.Y.E.
Tactics Ogre
Planescape Torment
Deadly Premonition
Pathologic
Growlanser
Sengoku Gensokyo
And so many more.

1 - 5 are ass, though. Kichikuou, 6 and Sengoku are the only ones with decent gameplay.

Can you not fuck with the OP? Retard.

Possible, but translation never

All Rance are bad anyway.

Persona games are really bad
I would rather play the grindfest that is Kamidori any day

...

They're garbage. Completely unlikable characters, horrible shitfest of pacing, and watered down SMT Gameplay which is so mindless and easy that it makes me wish I was just playing real SMT instead.

Only thing good about Persona is the music.

> this is /baitgeneral/ now

It's good if you like grinding. Kind of gets ridiculously hard towards some of the end missions.

>phoneposting
Pathetic.

I quit during the dragon mission I think
That shit was too difficult

...

H-how do you know I'm on mobile?

The space between the meme arrow and "this"
Unless you manually delete it, a lot of phones automatically put a space between ">" and whatever characters you place after it

Anyone remember when that guy was one of the biggest sports people in the world? Those were the days...

>koichoco
>decide on my first route
but you can't, user

oh you mean Hypertelorism: the visual novel?

that's basically every visual novel desu

Oh, my phone doesn't. I actually put the space in there myself every time, because it just looks better to me. Kinda spooked me there, my man.

This bitch.

The fact that so many books still name Muv Luv Alternative as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” visual novel ever only tells you how far eroge still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Eroge critics are still blinded by commercial success. Muv Luv Alternative sold more than anything else (not true, by the way), therefore it must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Eroge critics are often totally ignorant of the eroge of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Muv Luv did anything worthy of being saved.

They are all cute, don't even lie

>gunning for Aomi
>start talking about her
>"Oh boy, maybe it's finally splitting into routes!"
>Chisatoenail jumps in and cock blocks for the umpteenth time

Yaaaay...

>lazily copying the Scaruffi pasta without changing it up at all

Who am I missing?

>finish a route
>start another route
>feel like shit for ignoring her
my heart wasn't made for this

Go read Koichoco. Impossible to feel bad for that cunt Chiasto.

...this is a cruel joke right?

...

Uchikoshi Kotaro

I wish, user. I really do.

No.

No. And she never really goes away even after her route. It's one of the more polarizing aspects of Koichoco.

>Akumakko
>Kanon Makie
>Koguma Hideo
>Shinkou Hyou
>Arakawa Takumi
>Yotsutsuji Echo
>Kizuki
Literally who

I don't know why you list a bunch of literal whos while simultaneously missing actually notable writers like Takaya Aya, Takehaya Hoshizora Meteor, Inoue Keiji, Higashinosuke etc

should i read Baldr Sky Dive1 before reading Baldr Sky Dive2?

you could still try to get a 100 % save to choose your first route
i wish i did back then

what do you think

no?

Correct!

>not knowing one of the writers of OreTsuba

>OreTsuba
Never heard about that trash.

Except he's the guy that didn't list Higashinosuke. Learn to read.

Tokyo Babel seems cool, but

nah its kusoge

Why is this so good? Literally the best piano track putting even Mozart to shame. Is there anything SubaHibi can't do?

>Tokyo Babel seems cool
lol no

Let's make /vn/ a Yuritopia!

Wow, this is really making me reconsider playing this VN. To be honest she has grown on me slightly, but she's still amazingly annoying when in front of other girls.

What a terrible choice to force a mandatory route though. If there is a route or 2 locked before the first run through then I sort of understand but locking off all but 1 is fucking moronic.

who here hype for funbags

It's alright. I don't know why it gets such a hard time here. It's a decent 7/10.

Let's make /vn/ a Type-Moon utopia!

But it is, man. You proclaiming with all your might your raison d'être, making all acknowledge your being is cool but I didn't like the protag and shit
And that Gethel girl too was great

Let's!

Shirou vx Kotomine when

Eh, it's ok. Sounds kind of generic though.

Why must every piano track in VNs have an obnoxious amount of reverb?

You could just hold ctrl through her route.

Don't ever fucking respond to me again unless you acquired taste.

Cause reverb is so ETHEREAL man
(They do it because they're compensating for the fact that their music sounds generic, and since they lack the talent to capture some surrealism in the music itself, they used post-process effects to cover up for their hack writing)

Is Umineko the only VN that actually has good music?
