Everybody's having fun with their pawns in Dragon's Dogma
World's Dawn is about to launch on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/432010/
Planet Stronghold Colonial Defense is out: http://www.winterwolves.com/pscd.htm

>>1966321
Is Planet Stronghold any good? I liked Loren and put some time into that but really didn't like Seasons of the Wolf. I need to know these things before I think about shelling out for another Winter Wolves game.
>>1966321
I want the Nicole yuri version so fucking bad, dammit.
>play HuniePop
That was interesting.
>look up the girls' bios
Say, instead of sexing them, can I Bejeweled into fixing their lives? Because damn, for the most part they're a mess and I didn't (or rather COULDN'T) do anything to unmess any of that.
5th for Hoping SaintBomber releases something soon.
>>1966346
>Is Planet Stronghold any good?
Are you asking about Planet Stronghold or Planet Stronghold: Colonial Defense?
If it's the former, I'd say not really. It was written by the dev himself who his own admission sucks at writing, and the yuri romance itself was really nothing (if I remember right it basically amounted to 'let's wait until the current crisis is over before thinking romance'). Aside from that it was just a fairly basic turn-based RPG. No clue about the latter game, as I haven't played it yet.
Though both games have demo if you want to try them out.
>>1966321
>World's Dawn
Stardew Valley should be mentioned in this category as well.
Ayame mo Shirazu
http://n-linear.org/ayamemo/
An all-ages doujin novel game from 2010, with art by Cloba U. Linear despite the circle being called Nonlinear.
It's available free. I couldn't get the download link on the site to work, but there's a mirror:
http://holyseal.net/cgi-bin/mlistview.cgi?prdcode=12372
Covers the 2nd year in high school of its protagonist, in which she starts going out with a girl.
It's "slice of life" and rather more grounded in reality than a lot of 2D stuff that gets called that.
>>1966390
>couldn't do anything to unmess any of that.
+1 for realism.
>>1966465

Nice
>>1966472
I have never met a girl with a history even half as messy.
Try interacting with real people once. Most people have pretty boring lives.
>>1966351
You and me both! I hope the dev can keep the projected timeline of Oct-Nov.
>>1966346
You should give the demos a whirl. Both titles have vastly different gameplay though. The 1st Planet Stronghold is turn-based strategy combat. The 2nd, Planet stronghold Colonial Defense is a Card-game strategy, similar to Hearthstone and the like. Should you want to purchase Planet stronghold Colonial Defense, I feel it's best to wait till their DLC (and only one) is out (March/April). Because the DLC contains the other half of the romances and more gameplay.
>>1966448
The Yuri romance wasn't nothing. You and your female love interest build up your relationship, and get canonically involved in a romance, with the usual CGs to go along with it. If someone were to ask me, whether the romance is an award-winning affair, that many sure are bound to love, then I would say, no. But it's totally Yuri.
>>1966321
I tried World's Dawn (the demo available on the developer's website). From what I can tell it's an Harvest Moon clone, and when you create your character you can choose both gender and the gender you're attracted to, so when you meet certain girls the game calls them "marriage candidate" or whatever, but I have no idea how the romance works.
I'll keep an eye on it though, the gameplay was pretty dull in the first 3 days(the ones the demo version allows you to play) but I hope it gets better later.
>>1966695
The first few days, if not month or two, of any Harvest Moon are always dull if you've played one before.
>>1966321

What.
Not fair, Nicole's about 95% complete half a year already. And it doesn't help that they deleted the app version of Love&OrderDorothy ;_;
>>1966778
I have to admit I don't know why people look forward to it considering that it's clearly a mess - hasn't it had to be started over multiple times with different writers? I doubt the plot makes any sense... is it just because everyone's desperate to see girls kissing in that art style?
>>1966725
This reminds me of Flowers. Because that one is literally taking a long time. If JAST is doing the rest, I hope to be seeing them all before 2024.
>>1966781
>I don't know why people look forward to it
>is it just because everyone's desperate to see girls kissing in that art style?
Well, I can't speak for everyone else but yes, you caught me. The writers thing is true but at this point I just want the yuris in that visual flavor.
>>1966781
All I really want is a yuri game in English that has more than one route. Clearly Starlight Vega will deliver on that sooner.
Speaking of, Starlight Vega got a new demo with added BGM and stuff.
There is a pretty funny LP of Planet Stronghold. It goes fPC het romance route, but it's still worth a watch.

>All I really want is a yuri game in English that has more than one route.
Black Closet
Spirited Heart Girls Love
Heileen Sea Maidens
(shudder) A Wild Catgirl Appears
I think that's all that are multi-route yuri-only, but I might be missing some. It's still a pretty low count though.
>>1966725
It was at 4% two weeks ago.
>>1966815
Loren
Season of the Wolf (IIRC)
Sword of Asumi
Magical Diary
Long Live the Queen (Does this count?)
>>1966820
Season of the Wolf has one male and one female love interest for both protags.
Sword of Asumi... I actually have this, but I don't know. AJTilley is something on an ongoing mystery for me.
>>1966843
In my opinion all those games you suggested are either ugly, old as hell, or really expensive for what you get. WW especially has high priced games where you will only play the 1-2 designated yuri routes from.
I'm not the person you were replying to about nicole, by the way.
>>1966838
>long live the queen
>not tolerable
I will fight you.
>>1966864
It's not much of a yuri game though. I mean, it's in there, but if you want actual art of the girl pairings you have to hit up deviantart
>>1966878
If "tolerable" means "yuri game" then Black Closet should still pass.
>>1966956
It's $20 and have yet to see a screenshot or picture of yuri aside from a foot picture that's always posted.
>>1966973
>>1966973
I don't see how the price tag has anything to do with how yuri something is or how tolerable it is.
The game has five female romance options for a female only main character. If that somehow does not qualify as yuri in your book then I don't know what to tell you.
>>1966973
Just a little update on AJTilley.
He was using Patreon for a while. People were actually supporting him and had a substantial amount of backers. He claimed to have two YURI games in development, one called Army Gals which was using art by Nick Beja.
Patreon now shut down and he's BACK to Kickstarter and has a campaign going for the aforementioned game, only now he's saying it's an adult game with a male protagonist. Obviously not going to be supporting him anymore.
I've messaged him with some questions and I'll be seeing what he responds with.
>>1967008
that sucks. I'm interested to hear their response as well.
>>1967008
On patreon he put yuri in quotations and I had a bad feeling about it then.
If it's an adult game KS needs to shut it down.
I tend to go unnoticed in these threads so I don't mind spoiling assets for my upcoming project so much here. That and this is a red board. Pic related is the 'thank you for playing' CG in which you get thrown a what if harem scenario. For those of you who stay clear of hetshit completely, the above characters are cosplaying lia, reset and sill from rance respectively as a shout out to what I originally touted the concept of the VN as - "a yuri game with a rance like protagonist". I worry there won't be enough rape to fulfill my original claim.
>>1967069
And here is a mockup of the GUI I made in about 5mins in MS paint. Double MC because that is a placeholder for the last pixel sprite.

Anything /u/-related in the Humble Bundle winter sale (besides Neptunia)?
>>1967098
I'd give you that artists DA but they wanted to remain anonymous.
>>1967033
>If it's an adult game KS needs to shut it down.
He typically does all-ages versions of games that have adult content, so as long as he says the KS is for the all-ages version, KS won't do a thing.
>>1967069
I don't want to be That Guy, but I don't see why should the girl in the middle be wearing panties of any kind.

>>1967025
Well, he responded and since you asked, here it is. Pretty much what I expected.
I'm guessing the story they've decided to develop instead of yuri is for the same audience that buys Winged Cloud fap games. I guess that's where the money is.

>>1967187
And that's why I'd never consider supporting something when there's no guarantee that they won't bait and switch.
>>1967194
Do your research - even a casual glance at AJ Tilley would show that he's a flaky shitshow who releases absolutely terrible games when he releases them at all, milks people for as much funding as possible before dropping half the planned features, etc.
Most devs have track records. If you look at their body of work, you have some idea what you're likely to get. It's just that hype and hope often causes people to overlook that.
>>1967187
I'm more alarmed that you support the guy who has done 20 or so kickstarters in the last year and consistently puts out horrible games.
>>1967193
By this point we're just running off a long list of games which are all in the pastebin in the OP anyway.
>>1967187
>>1967194
A follow-up. More empty promises.
Just warning anyone who considers backing him in the future. Pretty sure he uses multiple Kickstarter accounts, which itself smells kind of fishy.
>>1967197
I supported a couple of his games that looked promising in the past. Before all the half-baked harem games.
I don't really even use Kickstarter at all anymore. Sure sometimes a developer will finish a game that delivers on all (or most) of their promises, but just as many don't.
>>1967199
Yeah here's an article on him and his accounts:
http://vnsnow.com/2015/08/keeping-track-of-aj-tilley/
Searching "cliqist aj tilley" into google also gets lots of articles.
But i digress. this isnt /evn/.
>>1967193
>Amaranto
Shame that the patch that adds a new heroine wasn't translated though.
>>1967117
That's the worst part, they happen, but you as the player have no control to be able to take it further and all you get is a very vague clit tease.
>>1967129
>>1967136
It is a good game, and catherine didn't run off to have sex to forget about her lez feelings, she ran off because she felt guilty about taking advantage of her friend when they were both drunk whom had just confessed that she had been abused before. She just ended up turning to the man for comfort who used the situation as leverage to fug her.
>>1967193
Doesn't Seduce Me the Otome only have one yuri route?
>>1967255
Three according to its Steam page, but if I remember anons' review right they were added to what was initially planned as a het story and it showed.
>>1967264
yep. MC gushes over all of the "hot guys" the whole time.
>>1967069
This looks interesting do you have a site or Dev blog?
>>1967199
Let me guess, he's an ideas guy and can't do anything except for writing mediocre "plots", so he needs money to hire people who do the actual work.Going by the quality of his games a budget of $3.50 should be sufficient though.
>>1967069
Delicious.
>>1967114
I did consider making her go nude too, but it just isn't in her character. Plus between two love interests who are both kinky and horny, I think its nice to have the contrast of one who is shy and self restrained. Thanks for the support.
>>1967290
I'm planning on making a thread on lemma and starting my own blog (not sure which site I'd want to host it on yet, anyone got any recs? I know tumblr is popular but I don't want to involve the 'trigger warning' crowd) when all of the character sprites are finished. The first one is still a WIP.
>>1967344
Right? I love that artists proportions. In an ideal world I could have commissioned them as my main artist but they weren't comfortable with all of the subject matter. Not that I blame them.
>>1967363
If you want to rice your blog go with tumblr. Otherwise Wordpress does the job, and as a plus has a better comment system than tumblr. Blogspot is pretty much dead these days, I think. At least if you want to post adult material.
>>1967394

Eh. Since almost completely different people are involved with each project some are a lot more shit than others. And at least we usually get actual makeouts there, unlike some 'yuri' games that are all angst and no followup.
Will /u/ ever be able to create a game together?
Can anyone tell me how long is Kindred Spirits on the Roof? VNDB says 10-30 hours. But that's not really accurate.

>>1967574
Sounds like either CA or Hibikek.
>>1967541
>will a group of individual who've never met before, can never agree on what they love and hate, and have no financial incentive to see the project through, ever create something that takes a large investment of time to finish
Take a wild guess.
>>1967541
/u/ tried that before. Goddess of White or something, I don't remember anymore.
>>1967547
30 hours is pretty accurate I think.
Maybe 20 to get through the main story, but there are a lot of bonus scenes you unlock after the credits.
>>1967598
Yeah
The people creating it basically realized they bit off more than they could chew. Apparently they still have all of the assets that were made for it, but not enough people to finish it.
They're doing yuri scanlations now as Divulge Scans.
>>1967602
Oh, really? I didn't know that. Pretty neat.
>>1967566
Pretty much. Kyoani's adaption of hibike just made it worse.
>>1967574
I aim to please. It's not the kind of show you'd expect, its none of these >>1967576
It was manyuu hikenchou. I shipped chifusa and kaede with the force of a thousand suns, and then that fucking DFC painter came along and ripped my heart out. Even if they retconned it by the end of the episode my heart was still broken. You can say I had it coming for not expecting hetshit in a fanservice show, but this was babby's first.
>>1967631
Not what I expected, but I don't think you're the first anon I've heard who was disappointed by it. I heard it was surprisingly messed up in general.
Seems like World's Dawn is currently 10% off in case anyone is interested.
>>1967642
It's a relief to know I'm not alone.
>I heard it was surprisingly messed up
There was a greentext on /a/ about how the show is a serious anime highlighting the bias and unfair treatment of women masquerading as a fanservice show. I'm honestly inclined to agree. Heck, the first 10 minutes of the first episode shows a young woman getting her breasts cut and molested by multiple women whilst her father is forced to watch, and then showing how her life was ruined afterwards. Her fiance left her, her family died and she lived alone in a hut in the middle of nowhere till chifusa comes along - then finds out she belongs to the same clan who ruined her life and has to attempt to assassinate the only human contact she's had for years.
>>1967650
You're really selling me on it.
>>1967661
What I liked about the ending was that it highlighted that chifusa's victory was but a small one in the grand scheme of things, and that she still had a lot of learning and hard work ahead of her if she truly wants to change the perceptions of society. She'd have been KO'd in the final fight regardless if her friends hadn't come to back her up. I would say give it 3 episode rule, but to be honest you'll know if the show is for you on the very first episode.

I'd argue 2 because even though it has 3 females two of the humans are exactly the same structure. like they even share the same dialog which was really weird.
diana wasnt that bad. it was voice acted which was nice.
and yeah naturally the yuri routes didnt hold a candle to the male routes but thats how it is in otome games.

Thanks. Sorry for bringing up bad memories and derailing the game thread with an anime.
Though I have to say this post >>1967743
(which I'm assuming is you) made me laugh.Well, despite this episode, I think I may watch it, hell, I watched amagami ss just to watch the antics between Haruka and Hibiki when Haruka isn't the main heroine. Not to mention I loved the relationship between Cecily and Aria in sacred blacksmith, but that one pissed me off too much to muster the courage to rewatch it.
>>1967734
That is a new level in rage-inducing.

"Assets" are a bit too implied finished for what we actually have, but we do have a fair bit of design art, music and scripts.

Can anyone who read Yamiyo tell me are there any script changes for different MCs or is it the same lazy shit like in Fate?
>>1967952
>same lazy shit like in Fate?
Fate/Extra? I don't see how that was lazy.
>>1967956
I haven't read it but judging by comments they changed nothing in script except for name/gender. It's jew levels of lazy.
>>1967958
It's the default way of writing dialogues in a lot of not story-focused games with two MCs.
Welcome to 2016, hope your cryogenic sleep didn't leave you with a freeze burn.
>>1967959
I know that's why I'm asking about Yamiyo. I still have hope.
>>1967958
There's a few gender-specific lines, but yeah for the most part it's the same. Why do you think it has to be completely rewritten?
>>1967967
I guess you mean Fate.
>Why do you think it has to be completely rewritten?
Not completely but wouldn't some scenes feel awkward as if they were written for male MC. I just find this tactic cheap.
>>1967974
MCs in Fate/Extra are voiceless (and might as well be faceless), and most dialogues are non-romantic. Romantic ones, from what I remember, don't have anything gender-specific; Servants treat you the same no matter what gender you are, going from "barely even know you" stage to either wanting to protect you (Saber, Archer) or wanting to fuck your brains out (Caster) to eventual love. So no, there isn't a lot of awkwardness. Though dialogues aren't completely the same, either.
>>1967978
>MCs in Fate/Extra are voiceless
And servants are voiced, right? Damn, it annoys me the most. I'd prefer not voiced at all to partly voiced. I've dropped Yurirei because of that.
>>1967979
By "voiceless" I mean they don't speak. Neither in text nor in sound. Only input you have are choices that sometimes pop up during dialogues, like which question to ask or which answer to pick. There is implied dialogue, like when you go to your classroom where your Servant is waiting, they will react as if you've greeted them, and there's also narration, but other than that, nothing.
>>1967978
I remember one conversation with Caster where I think she was mentioning that she wanted to become the perfect wife or something, and one of the dialogue options you had would mention that you were a girl and she would reply in a very flirtatious way about how that was okay.
Aside from that I can't remember anything else being tailored to a FeMC though.
Caster is also cute as fuck. The only thing pushing me to complete those horrible early levels with her was getting to talk to her again. Then she became a beast halfway through the game and dominated.
Black Closet is on sale on Steam at the moment. In case one ever wanted to play as the lesbian student council president of an Catholic all-girls school.And yes, they can all be gay.
>>1967998
Weren't there one/two routes where it was strong friendship instead of gay? Or was that a different game?
>>1968000
Two, I think. One because she's the only girl who's not gay and the other because the girl is still underage.
>>1967995
Nero has something similar, I think. Not as a dialogue option, but she mentions something about not caring MC's gender. Archer and a male MC probably also have this.
Caster also compliments femMC on her beauty/cuteness, which seems to be female-only dialogue, although I don't have enough patience to bear with that glass cannon again just to check.
>>1967998
Is it lewd?
>>1968049
Not... explicitly so. And anyway most of the game is about trying to uphold the school's reputation rather than seducing your way through the student body. But the main character does have some particular interests.
>>1967704
My advice is to not order from the mangagamer website (unless you really want to), but on steam. When I had some measure of loading problems on the website, that spooked me off. And it's not my internet, because I have a fiber optic connection.
>>1968048
Nevermind, it seems like it's fixed(?) when I downloaded v1.1.1 of PPSSPP
>>1968053
That is of course, if you don't want DRM-free version.
>>1967600
Do you have to make all the right choices to unlock the bonus after credit scenes?
>>1968132
For some of them, you have to make the right choices. Some of them, you need to choose both, so an easy way to get all the scenes is to just save at each choice and pick all the options.
Are we still worried about them censoring Yoru no nai Kuni?
>>1968185
>"I will always love you"
Said every best friend ever. Are there any kissing scenes that aren't CPR?
>>1968192
Just hugging, hand holding, lovers quarrel, and sleeping together.
>>1968219
Ugh, those pixels. I only have a Vita which I otherwise love and I kinda dread the fact that I'll only be able to play the game like that, and with low fps to boot...
Maybe they'll port it to PC one day, and I'd fine no matter if it's in moon or in English.
>>1968224
They announced Vita localization too?
>>1968228
They're considering it. Along with a localized PS3 release, which I hope it gets.
>>1968228
They're considering it, but before any localization was announced I was ready to get it since I can into moon to an extent - and then I saw the gameplay footage for the Vita and still unsure to this day what should I do - splurge for a PS4 and a TV for a single game, play on the Vita like that or just wait for something to happen.
There's a lot of handholding in the game
Their hands are probably just stuck to each other because of all that hot passionate lesbian aliasing going on.
Is this from Vita? I've seen better graphics on PSP.
>>1968231
Well, you can connect PS4 to your PC monitor, provided you have one. And it has several promising exclusives, albeit not /u/-related.
Honestly, wonky graphics in cutscenes on hand-held consoles is something you can get used to relatively easily (see the majority of Japanese games for PSP); low FPS is another matter.
>>1968244
I only have laptops with no HDMI-in, sadly. And yeah, after all these years I'm rather used to these issues in portable games, that's an unfortunate and common trade-off.
>>1968252
You can probably find used PC monitors for dirt cheap.
>>1968252
>I only have laptops with no HDMI-in, sadly.
There is a work-around involving capture cards, but at this point it'll be cheaper to buy a used 22".

Who's the straight girl?
>>1968421The one pouting about being surrounded by gay. But even her, you can tempt, it just doesn't get as far as you get with the other underage girl.

Anon, best friends kiss each other too.

I'm beginning to think Europe won't be getting limited edition.
>>1968677
On Gust's FB page
>We have teamed up with NIS America, Inc. Europe to bring Nights of Azure Limited Edition to Europe through the NIS America EU Online Store.
>The box will include the following contents:
>~ Nights of Azure PS4 Game
>~ LE Tuck-flap Box
>~ Cloth Poster (57” x 20”)
>~ Hardcover Artbook
>~ Soundtrack
>~ Mini Art Prints (5 sets – 5” x 7”)
>Pre-orders for the Limited Edition will start on 28th January 2016.
>>1968709
I literally sent them an email last week asking if they were going to put it on the EU store and still haven't gotten a response.
Good to see they are though. Time to shell out 300 dollarydoos to get it sent here.I don't even own a PS4 yet.
Is Gamestop even going to carry Nights of Azure? Still don't see it available for preorder and its out in two months
>>1968893
Yeah. I sent a tweet too before but it seems to be ignored. I just happened to see that while checking some NoA stuff.
>>1968192
You can choose to ignore the game, instead of pretending to misunderstand everything. These type of dialogue are usually grounds for Yuri censorship, because nobody thinks these are something BFFs say, except you. And BFFs usually don't say such things without a clearly prior platonic context. According to game localization anon, one company added a "Best Friend" line to similar dialogue, to make sure it is clearly read as a non-lesbian intention.
Anyhow, why am I bothering to explain things to trolling idiots, who will pretend to not understand context?
>>1968185
That seems to be a positive sign. I hope they will keep that up.
>>1968219
IMO, some of the dancing scenes are the best. In one of them, Arnas was like a gentleman. Snapping her fingers, to order music to be played out. Then she took Rulitis hand in her's to slow-dance intimately with her.
>>1968224
I have to admit, the animations (cutscenes) were kind of lousy, and could have been better.
>>1969070
>because nobody thinks these are something BFFs say, except you
But BFFs do say that. Just because in recent years "love" in most forms of popular media had almost lost its meaning besides family or romantic one, doesn't mean some people don't use it to describe feelings that don't fall into family or romantic category.
And since this is a single screenshot, there is no and can't ever be a platonic context, or any context at all.
Anyhow, you're taking this way too seriously for somebody who thinks they're responding to a "trolling idiot".
>>1969070
Didn't NISA themselves call it a love story in the description? I don't think there's any cause to worry about them pulling a 4kids.
>>1969220
They did. Right from the game''s product page on the NISA online store: http://store.nisamerica.com/nights-of-azure-limited-edition

Its like a sliding scale for me. Left looks great, middle is alright, rightside is terrible.
Though that might just be because massive shiny cow tits and thighs.
Is the MC the one in the middle? I really like the look of her for some reason.
>>1969514
That right one looks like a mix between Whatsherface from Symphogear and Madoka from Anko-san. Bet she also has a personality of a bimbo.
>>1969721
It's not really about the plumpiness. Plumpiness can be attractive... when it doesn't have highlights all over the body, and bumpy stomachs that look almost distorted.
And there's also the matter of MC's leg-to-torso proportions.
>>1969778
Pretty much agreed, while I hate the enormo breasts to the right, the glossiness of them makes even blue-suit's reasonable tits seem unappealing. Other than that and finding said suits pretty meh I think the non-tittymonster girls look okay.

Ebi Hime, the writer for Strawberry Vinegar, has at least 2 other yuri games, The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns (free) and Asphyxia (paid). It looks like she commissioned the same artist for all 3 games too!.

Ordered the Nights of Azure LE.
Now we play the waiting game.
Still no HakuAi rip?
>>1969954
I would import it but it cost a quarter of my third world salary.
Fuck, Nights of Azure euro LE is already at less than 50% stock after less than one day.
On one hand I'd want to support the game and have a special edition of one of the very few yuri games we get, on the other hand... it's quite pricey for what it contains... a cloth poster far too fanservicey to be put on a wall, mini prints, mini artbook, is the OST good at least?
I'd rather spend my money on a figure of the protagonist(s), do you think they'll make it? Usually Gust always make figures of the Atelier protagonists, doesn't it?
>>1970134
yeah the price scared me away. these japan le seem to charge as much as they think they can get out of the buyer. for that price i'd expect a figurine or a really nice display piece
What's considered "yuri" in a game? How do the characters interact? How about in the "family-friendly" demographic?
>>1970234
It varies from person to person, most agree it is two females acting romantic towards one another, as for "family-friendly"... well for some odd reason homosexual relations are considered more adult than more heterosexual relations, even if the acts are the same.
>>1970240
cue people freaking out at nine year old yuri when < nine year old het is adorable puppy love

>>1970250
Are you an alien?
>>1970252
Actually, I meant "What's the minimum interaction considered yuri"?
>>1970254
There isn't really an objective guideline, and if you have to ask whether something just barely technically qualifies, it probably doesn't.
>>1970134
>Nights of Azure euro LE is already at less than 50% stock after less than one day.
So it's selling like hotcakes. That's good.

>>1970134
LE's are always overpriced. I'm okay in this case with paying it anyway though because I don't buy many games these days and I'm happy to support a niche thing that appeals to me.
>>1970359
>LE's are always overpriced
Limited edition are collector items, you're not just paying for the actual content but also for the fact that you have something that will indeed be in limited supply. If you don't consider this to add value to the item you're not really the target demographic for these kind of editions.
>>1970315
Holy shit I thought it died
>>1970395
There's only so much the fact that you own a limited edition can add to the value. And that additional value varies from title to title and depends on whoever is buying the LE. Say, for a yurifag a limited edition of a yuri game will worth more than for a regular gamer who views YnNK as a jRPG monster grinder.
Personally, I think LEs should provide actual limited content to make them worthwhile, otherwise it's like paying twice for a regular edition in a bright colorful box — expensive and not really smart, although it would look good on a shelf. Artbooks and prints are fine and all (though the "mini" part seems suspicious), but it'd be nice to have something material, like a keychain or a pendant, that you can actually have on display freely in a non-weeabo company.
Video commentary on the development process would be a nice touch as well, I don't think Japanese games have a lot of those.
>>1970417
>There's only so much the fact that you own a limited edition can add to the value
It adds what collectors are willing to pay for it. If you want to know what the added value is for a collector, keep your Nights of Azure LE sealed and sell it on eBay in a few years. There's a good chance you'll make a tidy profit - but then again you may end up at a loss as well. But if "owning the Nights of Azure Limited Edition" alone is not something you personally put a high value on beside what's in the package, you're not a collector and the LE wasn't made for people like you (or me, for that matter).
>>1970428
There are different kinds of collectors out there, anon. Not every one of them buys things just for the sake of owning them, some also want to enjoy stuff they get for their money.
The fanbook page for Flowers Natsu-hen is up and it contains some info on Aki.

>The Sasaki Ichigo/Ringo sisters who pine for Yuzuriha
Now we know how the twins are involved. They don't really clarify whether it's Ichigo, Ringo or both pining for Yuzuriha. I really hope Nerine is the true route... If they decide not to go with the most obvious character... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Ichigo -> Yuzuriha and secretly Ringo -> Ichigo, with Yuzuriha/Nerine, Ichigo/Ringo as the true route.
As for the fanbook itself, it will go on sale at the GL Fes event first in Feb. Internet sales will come after but no date has been announced.

It could have a romantic meaning. I suppose the least would be to use the "idolize" meaning.

hope you report back when you finish the game.
also, hows the gameplay?
Why is the world so unfair that I cannot romance Eiger in Shadowrun Dragonfall? And, on top of that, barely any f/f fic related to the last games.
I am enjoying it a lot though, much more than the first part, but I miss romance options. I guess that this aspect has not changed in Shadowrun Hong Kong, has it? I love cyberpunk settings and the side characters in this one are actually fairly good (at least so far).
Sorry for this rant, it is just I need a game like this but with yuri content. Only dreams now.
>>1970817
Yeah Dragonfall is an exceptional game but little romance to be had. Most of it is scissorhands so if you don't dig her then you are out of luck.
Hong Kong has none at all from what I can remember unfortunately. Though personally the only companion I cared about in it I just wanted to be friends with anyway, the rat shaman.
>>1970757
It's fun. The gameplay is a Metroidvania with bullet hell bosses, and with emphasis on replayability and sequence breaking.
>>1969893
Asphyxia.
>>1971064
and this is about as close as two girls get to each other in that game, too
>>1970819
Wolverine chick is okay, she has not opened yet so I cannot say much, I like her design though. But Eiger… she is so cool.
Although is there still a fixed crew in Hong Kong, right? Is it just worse? I hope they are not as boring as in the first one. I can only think of Coyote and I finished the game a pair of days ago.
A similar thing happened with Pillars of Eternity, I tried the game before buying it and all the interactions with the characters felt flat. I am not asking for outright sex a la Bioware, but at least some dialogues well done.
I will probably end up buying and enjoying it, but it gets harder to play an RPG with a character from scratch/your own character without this kind of things… at least they did not put me a baby from the very beginning.
>>1971196
The first Shadowrun game was bit of a flop. Thankfully Dragonfall and Hong Kong are much, much better games. In Hong Kong you do have a fixed crew again, and no romance again. But at least I couldn't resist shipping the rat shaman and the hacker chick characters.
As for PoE, companion dialogue was written by different writers, so the quality on those varies a lot IMO. As a Chris Avellone fan I liked Durance and Grieving Mother a lot (sadly apparently they cut some really interesting stuff from those), but I also liked Sagani and Pallegina too. Too bad the characters alone can't really save the game from lackluster combat and kinda boring story. Haven't played the DLC yet, so can't really say anything about that.
But Torment's coming, and it is supposed to have interesting companion system.
>>1971329
>Torment's coming
I've been out of the loop since forever on this one, but I'm pretty sure I read some years ago that romances, including yuri one(s), were planned. Is it still true or has it been scrapped since then?
So I just beat Nagi's route in Seisai no Resonance for the first time. Ok. I gotta say. I didn't see that coming.
But I liked it overall. And I admit, I already know that's not all there is. Which.. is a good thing. Was pretty fun, cute and at times engaging. Well and the final part and climax were pretty nice as well. And that epilogue.. was certainlya shocker. Ouch. Just ouch.
Bit of a shame it never got translated. After Yuu's route I'd say it's understandable. That route's final part was.. essentially not even there. (though before that it was cute) Alsp /u/ probably wouldn't like all the NTR feelings Yuu can give.
But Nagi's route? That was good. Fuck, the MC is even confirmeda magic baby somehow created by the souls of two women. Which makes a certain scene in the beginning kinda funny. "Kissed" by the "dad".. sums it up I guess.
A fun yuri chuuni VN. Looking forward to the one licensed by Mangagamer for sure as well. The yuri genre needs a few more works which aren't JUST yuri without anything else.
>>1971396
https://torment.inxile-entertainment.com/game/about/gameplay
>We've had some questions from the community about romances and relationships in the game. Our position is this: Love, which comes in many forms, is certainly relevant when exploring themes of legacy, abandonment, and mystery; and we expect to explore this emotion in ways that fit the story and characters. Meaningful friendships, even feelings of affection, will be possible, but we don't expect physical relationships to be consistent with our narrative.
So maybe?

Well, I have a walkthrough, but I obviously don't know what each.. "ending" or whatever is about.
Still it probably is the reason why the five main heroines are who they are. I always wondered why it is like it is, but this probably is the reason.The girl's dead for a long long time already I suppose. Though something must've been left over from her original being, as she is still somewhat different from Miku. Still would be very much like "dating mom". Or more like dating another child of mom, as in a sister? Mirai is probably half Miku and half "herself" or so? I dunno.. it's weird.
Don't actually plan to read Yaya's route anytime soon. I'm not really made for multiple route VNs I suppose. I'd just feel bad. And for Yaya's route, you actually have to chicken out and ditch Nagi at an important point. Not a very.. nice branching.
