No tech gian leaks today apparently.

TG Leaks generally come out between 18:00 and 19:00 JST, right now it's currently 17:40 JST.

In any case, it is a bit unlikely it will come up today. Looking at the last 12 issues, only twice it was out three days before, 6 times it was out two days before, and 4 times out one day before.

...

Looking like no new tweet from moomin too.

What girls are gonna be/get pregnant during X? Is it all? Sill has to right?

Everyone but Sill.

He's gonna get raped then conceive someone else's child

>she's

Game was on and i wasn't paying attention

Now that Rance is back with Sill to cast the spell I'm not expecting any more pregnancies.

Maybe he forgot at this point. or he may like having child now

Rance will father a new generation of children.

Kanami. It seems like something they can do to end her story.

It´s not like he didn´t have magicians capable of casting the spell in quest or IX. Actually, I don´t think outside the realm of possibility that there´s exists a random mage whose work is to cast the spell in an important place like CITY.

Kanami may already be pregnant.

It´s within the realm of possibility but I don´t see the last game of the series not having Kanami as playable.

If she was pregnant in IX she will probably have given birth by X.

If it's a long run, it's possible.
Imagine a turn is 1 month, then she can be unvailable for 9 and then come back.
Allso, I think they care more about characters and story than gameplay.

Don't worry, X seems to start 10 months after the end of 9. Any girl who got pregnant before 9 end would already have the child.

Ok, I was under the impression that it was less but then who´ll take care of all the babies? Do you think Rance will have to set up a nursery room in the Castle?

>Rance gets pregnant
Now there's a twist!

Senhime will put her child raising skill to use. Alternatively, the maids.

While we know that pretty much every character in the series is on the table as being playable but what about H scenes? Do you think Alicesoft will go full madman and create scenes for all the minor girls or do you think they'll just leave it off screen at best?

I think there will be a lot but there is no way every girl that appears will get one.

Well most of the mothers are capable of looking after their own.
Sen and Feliss might be the only mothers actually living at Rance castle.

I'd rather the CG budget be spent on story CGs than H ones.

Played through the first 5 rance games (01, 02, 03 for the first three), halfway through 6 now.
I saw without any intent to troll: I'm kinda becoming convinced that the Rance series just has plain bad gameplay, ranging from actively detracting from the experience (5D, kinda 01) to just being extremely simple and/or unfun (03, 6). The writing, music, world, etc is all on point and great. But the gameplay is so, so heavily flawed in each entry I find myself baffled by it. I'm almost feeling depressed because now I strongly suspect 8, 9, and maybe even 10 will have equally unfun gameplay. Is this all just in my head, guys? Is haniho come to those who love the Rance universe but aren't really that fond of the gameplay itself? Rance 6 aside from Sengoku is the biggest game in the west but its gameplay is just generic, easy RPG gameplay with SP/FP gimmicks slapped on top. Do people love it, or just tolerate it?

First true Rance related shitpost I've seen

I like jrpgs so like VI and Quest. But its all a matter of taste. Sengoku and Kichikuou are the only ones where I would say that the gameplay is objectively a strength.

If the games were just the gameplay with some generic characters and story, then no, it wouldn't be good.
It's the combination of the story, Rance as protagonist, and the gameplay that creates a unique experience. It wouldn't be the same if one of those was left out.

I personally will play any gameplay as long as Rance is in the story.

Your post basically reads as "tolerates" it.
I'm not pro or anti JRPG, I just think VI's gameplay is on the unfun side because it's so simple - 95% of battles are won by spamming basic attacks while Sil uses her all-heal spell. Actually, more like 99% if you include grinding for orbs battles.

While most of the gameplay is rather brain-dead, I do think that it's a nice change of pace from just reading. Besides, it gives some extra flavour to the game that wouldn't be there otherwise.

I feel like the gameplay could be improved a lot but I don't think that it really detracts too much outside of wasting time. It's nice that there's at least some variety in battle systems between games.

Nope.

>Is haniho come to those who love the Rance universe but aren't really that fond of the gameplay itself?
I´m ok with the gameplay of most Rance games but I wouldn´t really say that any of them is particularly good..

The gameplay tend to be ok/fun, but they don't compare with non eroge games with good gameplay of the same genres, which is understandable, eroge is a niche market, and while AS is a company that mostly make eroges with gameplay, it's still just one of the elements of each title, and their main ofucs tend to be a gameplay that fits the story of each game.

>Kamilla writes a bunch of nonsense down and says it's a One Time Pad
>"You should be able to solve this"

Sengoku and quest have good gameplay. IX is too tedious and easy.

Everything should be solvable.

How long is his ban?

Why couldn't he do this to other, better girls?

Sen has a lot of M scenes.

Who gives a fuck?

>quest
>good gameplay

That's debatable. You tend to spend more time grinding for quests instead of doing them. Being a pseudo-JRPG it's the norm but Quest kind of gets carried away with the whole level farmfest thing.

>IX is too tedious and easy

Gameplay is too short as well.

It's somewhat ironic that IX would have actually benefited from having a reliable way to grind for your party instead of having to rely on cheesing the Fortress Defence/side missions for EXP so much.

And the whole RNG-based weapon/armour upgrade gimmick is just downright silly. Don't know why AS thought that was a good idea to add at all...

Is a Rance 02 anime adaptation a good idea?

Why an adaption? Do something original with the OVA again.

It says he posted that on Sep. 15th, so he actually posted that tweet before he got banned. Porn bans usually are only temporarily, so 2-3 days. At most, he will be able to come back by late tomorrow. I told him to lay off /hahiho/ for awhile though and focus on his second playthrough of Kichikuou, honestly, I'm pretty surprised he got as far as he did in Daiakuji, as I usually have a hard time with that game.

It's usually quite hard to decipher Rougafag, he's a young adult who's posts range from mature to somewhat childish, at least he shows to realize his mistakes, he even admitted that he regrets posting dumbshit at the spur of the moment on the wiki.

Also, before a certain guy starts assuming again, no, I'm not Rougafag, I'm the friend user who started to get to know him since Daiakuji fantranslation news started popping up, youtube happened, and now I speak with him on another platform which will not be named for the sake of our sanity. No, it's not Reddit.

>a young adult
Didn't he say he was 19 a couple of threads ago?

Who gives a fuck?

I'd love it but hopefully with a different director. The animation for the 01 ovas was shit.

That is his age, yes.

Not sure what you're talking about, you can play through IX without any grinding at all, you don't even have to do the side missions. And Quest while some grinding might be necessary it's definitely not anywhere near more time than doing the quests. Unless you're playing on jacked-up difficulties or something.

That's what I thought, I can get behind a nineteen year old Rougafag changing for the better, but a 15-16 one, ehhh
Honestly no one should, as talking about anons that don't even namefag is pretty unhealthy, I just wanted to confirm stuff.

I keep hearing this that the Rance 01 OVA was shit because of
1) Too much Sill
2) Bad animation
How is the animation shit? What is good animation? What role does a director play in it?
I never watch anime or animated hentai, so I don't know why the 01 OVA was shit.

>That's debatable. You tend to spend more time grinding for quests instead of doing them. Being a pseudo-JRPG it's the norm but Quest kind of gets carried away with the whole level farmfest thing.
Well, you don't need to grind anything in worlds 1 before the final boss in magnum. I actually got throught the almost all the quest with kenshin+rance+torako+kachiko and crook, sometimes switching to Atago for skill recovery (Maris instead of torako for final boss). Generic fights are easily evaded with Crane. If you would like to play in higher worlds and use most of the characters, then you definitely need to grind a lot, but it's not the point of the game.
>And the whole RNG-based weapon/armour upgrade gimmick is just downright silly. Don't know why AS thought that was a good idea to add at all...
the stats overall seem to be imbalanced and somehow pointless. I didn't see the point to get yelllow stars for any character except for miracle, shizuka (since they ddon't have critical) and Russian. The stats except for atttack, speed and mag.res are joke.

Nobody gives a shit and nobody wants him or him getting his friends to come in and justify everything. Its Veeky Forums just don't post like a retard and even if you do go on reddit or discord or MAL or wherever just moderate your post to an anoymous setting rather than constantly being self obsessed and seeking validation.

The animation is incredibly jerky and the movements made during the sex are complete nonsense.

If nobody gave a shit, then you would figure there would be no anons asking for how long his ban lasted. However, if you want to keep thinking that me/Rougafag are the same if it helps you sleep at night, then go ahead. I'm done with trying to get you trying to understand, and signaling him out in general.

I don't think you are Rougafag and I'm not the user who thinks you are Rougafag.

Can you show an example of non nonsensical hentai movement? Just for a comparison

I don't watch enough hentai but just imagine anything that looks like how humans actually move.

saltyicecream

Even if it's not realistic, it's not so absurd looking it kills my boner.

How would you expect Rance to have sex? In my opinion, the scenes weren't absurd enough!

Rougafag is not at all that bad. He posts good shit on Yotube, passionate, and is pretty informative when it comes to the Dai series at least. He just needs to watch that ego and focus more on posting anonymously when it comes to Veeky Forums.

From this point on, let's not mention him, or anything related to the subject any further.

Rance's face during the Pulpetenks scene.

>I can read this
I'm ready for Rance X

Sengoku was everybody's first game, and funnily enough was an exception to the general Rance gameplay by being a Dai game disguised as a Rance game.

Alicesoft's best games in terms of gameplay are all conquest simulators. Even then, there are still annoying stuff about them like random ass character clears and random start-of-turn events

If that waterlogo wasn't there it would have been a perfect image.

外人さん、 ほんとに出来ることは思わないでしょ?

how many of you guys can answer all the hard mode questions correctly

how many can answer even one correctly

) Too much Sill
no such thing

>. I'm almost feeling depressed because now I strongly suspect 8, 9, and maybe even 10 will have equally unfun gameplay. Is this all just in my head, guys? Is haniho come to those who love the Rance universe but aren't really that fond of the gameplay itself?
I also think all the other gameplay is at best mediocre.

dai games at least are fun to play.

then again i don't really like jrpgs and prefer games like ck2 (how's that mod coming along?)

I would actually disagree here. Like half of my favorite games are eroge, just from counting the gameplay alone. There's something about how limited they are with their resources and what they can do that can make some excellent games.

I think Sengoku Rance, as a game on itself is actually really good. It's not too easy, pretty challenging, I like the visuals and the music, it's well balanced and the world map is well designed.

Reposting this, since I posted this at 3AM.

Just tell me what sprites we think we'll need, with variations/expressions, and I'll get to work on it. I'll probably use this as a base for KD.

I imagine KD, Shitty Kaybliss, Avel, and Kamilla in various stages of undress. I'll include a maid outfit because I want to. You can figure out what to do with it.

I dunno if the piratepad is the place for suggestions, but I have it bookmarked to keep track of things, so I'd certainly see it there.

Good work. Are you going to try and color it?

looks good. I'm the user who colored your nakadashi or riot sketch (was that you?)

What we need now is kamilla in various states of undress.

I'm also doing the dev stuff so if anyone wants to do the coloring:
1. fire up gimp
2. colors -> threshhold
3. paint bucket tool -> multiply
4. select stuff with the lasso / wand, selection->grow 2px or so, then bucket fill

I can try it I guess.

I am. Coloring is my weak point and I want to get better. You guy can use it, or do the coloring yourselves.

That wasn't me. I believe that was Chibianon.

The only eroge that for me has really great gameplay is Kamidori / Amayui. I'm a big fan of TRPGs.

tried the venus blood series?

We need more questions guys.

Even though it's not related, please tell me your favorites as I'm always looking for more.

Who is the prime minister of Japan?

...

Abe something, you shitty cat dragon dog.

Correct!

Bzzzt! Wrong!

Next Question!

If a tree falls in a forest, how many girls has Rance fucked by the third Tuesday of the month?

one

50

Well, I don't personally know the guy so I'll assume that's correct!

Don't feel bad, guy! I only had one girl for thousands of years!

Next Question!

How much custard could Maria Custard muster if Maria Custard could muster custard?

As much custard as her innards would've suffered would muster maria custard if maria custard could muster custard

Well if you want to get better it's a good opportunity for you. In terms of expressions I guess that in addition to stripping she should have different expressions based on the player?

I remember someone put dollar signs on her eyes in this picture during the betrayal.

is TGM a female?

Who will take responsibility for allowing a female into the /serc/?

Correct! You Hannies really know your stuff!

Next Question! We're getting close to the end!

If Shizuka has one apple. And Nagi has two apples. Why don't they just shut up and eat?

Yes and you

Because Nagi needs three times as many apples as Masou's daughter.

I had an apple once! I choked on the core. I made Avel eat one and he choked on it too! It was pretty funny, really.

Time for the finale! This one's a doozy! I'm sure you intelligent, quiz-loving hannies have a shot though!

You are faced with Satella and Feliss, you can only have one, and they will be your loyal wife for years to come, with children and pregnancy and everything.

The other one suffers a terrible fate of being defiled for an extended period by great beasts from the monster kingdom before put to death in a heart wrenching scene.

So my question to you hannies are...

How many fingers am I holding behind my back.

two

None because cats can't but their paws behind their backs.

Who's this kitty cat? I'm intrigued.

>live action rance movie
>KD is played by a real cat

Both incorrect! It was three!

What a shame! Kamilla was getting incredibly wet for you all too!

I'm sorry buy we're only looking for the best tactical minds here!

Thank you for your time! This has been KD Quiz! Tune in again next time!
