The final chapter is extremely weak, just as a heads up.

The true ending is very long and intricate, though, so be prepared and not too sleepy. I finished it yesterday and it does speed up in that as you eliminate the upper paths, the lower ones become shorter. But the final path took me about 2.5 hours to get through. Great sci-fi story, though. Just a bit long. Took 30 hours to play, of which maybe 5 hours was gameplay, and another 2 hours was watching a dot move around a map and doors opening.

BeastMaster KS seems to be stalling a bit and results look grim. Otome may be more niche than I realize. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/688648305/beastmaster-and-prince-flower-and-snow

For what it's worth I don't disagree with you either, it's just that a big chunk of the (existing western) otoge market is already pretty invested in the Vita and I reeeeeeally hate mobile gaming. And if I'm in front of my computer I'm usually busy playing Diablo or something.

I've actually done some experiments with that in my spare time. People think it's really hard to implement, but it turns out to be pretty trivial once you know what you're doing.

I hear ya I hate reading hours and hours on my PC when I have a tablet. Also tons of decent otoge is being ported to vita nowadays.

I see that a game subtitled "The Eternity She Wished For" came out on Steam the other day. I know literally nothing about it, but it always makes me happy to see another name that could have come straight out of my visual novel name generator.

Kindred Spirits is certainly the best yuri visual novel to be translated. It feels pretty different from most yuri crap I've encountered, although admittedly I tend to stay away from the genre. Mainly, it doesn't really feel creepy or exploitative.

To the person who was asking about Hourglass of Lepidoptera earlier: it just got pulled from Steam due to various fuckery by the Japanese devs, so, uh, I guess that makes your decision for you.

Cool. I like having less decisions to make in my life. Also just chipping in on the yuri VN conversation from earlier: if you want a good clean yuri game without ickyness you need to spam the localizers to localize Hakuisei Renai Shoukougun/White Robe Love Syndrome because it is the best non-adult yuri game. It's about Japanese nurses and it was written with the help of Japanese nurses so it's half fairly realistic representation of being a female nurse in Japan and half really sweet love story. I think I've mentioned it before and I'll probably mention it again whenever yuri games come up because it's seriously really good. For those who can read Japanese it's available on both PC and PSP.

FractalSandwich posted:I mean, that won't do any good if the rights-holders aren't interested. Who developed it? Did they have an external publisher, or did they do it themselves? I'm pretty curious how something like that gets made. It seems like a hard sell. It was made by Kogado (or rather one of the many teams they bizarrely have for how small of a company they seem to be). Before it they were mostly known for making Symphonic Rain and a few other musical-themed non-adult VNs, some of which were ported and some of which weren't. Before that (a completely separate group in Kogado) made a Atelier-rip-off game for PC and PS2 that did well enough to get an OVA (which isn't saying much). But Hakuisei was pure gold. They put it on the PSP where it scored huge sales, enough so that they then turned around and ported the PSP game to the PC as an enhanced version with new characters, then ported that enhanced version back onto the PSP and they all sold really well. Recently they just made a sequel for it for Vita but I'm not sure how that one did. As for publishers, it looks like they worked with Cyber Front for the 1st game, though CyberFront is now defunct, so for the 2nd game it appears as if they handled that alone.

When you say "nurse", I tend to think of someone on the older side, which would be even more interesting, but that has to be asking too much, right?

FractalSandwich posted:What a nice story. I guess sometimes someone takes a risk on something unusual, and it turns out to be good and people buy it. It really does happen. The main character and her friend are recent college graduates, 21 and 22. The head nurse is probably around 30 and one of the other nurses they work with who has a route is 26. Then there is a patient who is 20. There are also two younger characters but they don't really get into the romantic stuff, their routes are more like the main character is a beloved big sister and then when they grow up there might be romance.

Are there any good Horror Visual Novels on the level of Virtue's Last Reward and especially 999? I really hate how Uchikoshi had to tone it down for VLR and think the upcoming third Zero Escape game looks promising, but I want to fill that craving in the meanwhile.

The Zero Escape writer's other games are all strong as well, but they all have much less horror than the ZE games; they're generally more focussed on the mystery and science aspects.
