>Project Update #23: Muv-Luv: A Pretty Sweet Visual Novel Series by The Muv-Luv Team
>...All of the Collector's Boxes will now have an exclusively printed Muv-Luv Development Team signature on glossy paper instead. We've decided to do this because all boxes will be made in the US, and the fans have expressed more interest in the Japanese development team's signature as opposed to the U.S. Muv-Luv Staff.
Did they really think that people would pay 200+ to get a piece of paper signed by the fucking localization team?

how would you rate Saya? Not the VN but the character of course.
>>128616676
Man, the routes in this VN are awfully long.
I'm still trying to complete Ohama's and I'm already burn out
At the end of Akari's route Takumi says he's been working so much as a butler and for Akari's dad that he's either working or sleeping.
That means he spends no time with Akari! Sounds like some sort of disgusting NTR situation that happens in hentai mangas.
>>128616839
I've only watched my friend play parts of it, so I can't say. I think she's decent enough in terms of looks and personality.

>>128617236
Did the fact that there's an identical 80$ reward for the digital version right above the physical one, not to mention that the 80$ physical version mentions nothing about the digital one not tip you off?I made the same mistake, I just noticed and fixed it.
>>128617458
Deleted my post because I scrolled down and it says that the physical one also comes with digital, GG me
>>128617181
You have to understand son, I'm playing like 5 VNs right now, and I still have fuck knows how many to play after.
>>128617235
Yeah, I think the only h-scene he played through with me there was the one where Fuminori and Saya rape that one girl. We pretty much just laughed at the dialogue. I'm not like the H3H3H3 guy who masturbates in front of other men.
>>128617559
Then why doesn't the identical costing digital version come with physical? Checkmate.

>>128617804
Yeah, I'm not really sure why anyone would go for digital-only for the same price, maybe for the early release date. Digital version comes out in March and I don't know whether the physical tiers will also have their digital copies launched then, or whether you have to wait for September.
>>128617983
There is no where i'd rather be!
>>128617972

>>128618098
You get e-mailed the digital versions the moment they're released, and the physical in september
>>128618336
Boom, solved. Thanks anonIs it March yet?
>>128618439
I'm going to wait until they release Alternative. It'd be awful to have to wait after finishing Unlimited.

The e-mail backers just received specifically addresses this question.

>>128622260
Comyu is the most depressing.
Does Neon even grow a fucking spine holy shit.
>>128621962
No, not really. Most people don't like two of the heroines, which is really a problem in a moege. The other two are alright but nothing amazing.
It's neither terrible nor great. You could put it at about the halfway point between Koichoco and Nobleworks, perhaps? I'm not entirely sure why it's such a meme.
>>128622353
You shit taste is incredible.

I think I might have enjoyed Gahkthun more if I hadn't read Sharnoth. Mary might not be the most adventurous person in the world but she doesn't put up with M's shit near as much as Neon does for Tesla. And not being a damn coward is a huge part of her character.
>>128622612
It's pretty bad, yeah. There's worse out there, but it's the most disappointing read I've had in awhile. It wouldn't be THAT bad if the protagonist wasn't such a hypocrite and the drama was possible to take seriously.

You have to admit though, that last H-scene with Neon was the best H-scene you've read in years.

Path of Exile
>>128629876
Ayy ayy sir
Is there any moege protag that lucked out more than Takumi from Noble Works? This guy was living in poverty and then he eventually marries a cute girl of his choice and gets hooked up with a fancy job too (well in most of the routes).
Also what's up with the majority of moege protagonists always being poor? Is it for better self-insertion or something?
>>128629964
I've read eden*
I'm watching ef anime
Path of Exile is for android or iOS
>>128630159
Path of Exile is the saddest VN to have ever existed, my FPS drops to 1 in parties (which is why it counts as a VN) and Chris Wilson and GGG constantly rape the players.
>>128630068
Most of the population of the world is poor. Mass appeal, more people to relate to. Also, bro, make sure to separate the 2d world from the real one. There's no point fantasizing about a storybook. This is like the 3rd time you've posted something like that...
>>128630068
easy way to add conflict to the story
also, people like rags to riches stories
>>128630068
Princess Evangile protagonist had lot of ridiculous lucky breaks, including winning the lottery at the very start of the game
>>128630443
I never made any references or comparisons to the real world in my post. All I asked was which moege protag was as lucky as Takumi. Maybe my image confused you or something, sorry I guess it was a bad choice.
>>128630605
Yeah I can definitely see that, but you'd think they would try something new with the protagonist every once in a while.
>>128630840
Masaya was pretty lucky too. He might have had it better than Takumi, but didn't he use most of the lottery money to pay of his debt or something?
>>128631014
He didn't need the entire jackpot to pay his debt. Pretty sure it was well stated that he had plenty left over to be set for life after paying his debt off.
>>128631014
He had the worst father of all time though.
>being poor in Japan
Please. I lived homeless and penniless in Tokyo for around 3 months and generally had a better standard of living than I ever did in my home country as a middle class. Would have stayed longer but cops eventually threatened to deport me if I didn't fuck off so I had family buy me a ticket out rather than risk having the deportation on my record ruining future travel plans.
>>128615253
Enjoy your memes.
>>128630865
The only moege I've played that hasn't had a protagonist with financial issues was Osadai, and that was because the conflict in that VN came from aliens.
>>128631670
HoshiMemo protag doesn't really have financial issues. I mean there was the bit about wanting to work and not leech off his aunt too much but it was never in question that he was provided for.
>>128631217
Jesus his dad pissed me off. I know he decided to go with his dad because he thought his dad was hopeless by himself or something but how could he treat his son like that?
>>128631238
You lived homeless and penniless and still found it better than your home country? What country are you from if you don't mind me asking?
>>128631670
That's because there are only like 20 non-nukige translated VNs.
>>128631773
I'd say his wanting to not leech off his aunt and find work is a major issue, since it leads to him getting closer to Asuho as well as some conflict with the aunt later on.

ef - a fairy tale of the two, made by the same company as eden*, is basically a collection of five stories the length of eden*, so it's worth nothing as well

I don't see your point. What do you think all those manga and LN anime every season are? Made to promote the original product.
It's still really good.
>>128637383

Her character sprites were mediocre.

I really didn't get why half her sprites are her turning around. It just looks awkward. Who talks to someone with the bottom half of their body facing the wrong way?
>>128641878
>I really didn't get why half her sprites are her turning around
I thought it was because she was hiding something,her family, but when she finally told her friends nothing changed. I was kinda disappointed. It had potential but they didn't do anything with it.
>>128617367
At the beginning of the game there are various scenes of fuminori's friends.
If you put those screens together just right you get a large picture of what Saya roughly looks like.
I've seen it posted in the past.

I'm sure you folks are tired of hearing this, but how do you justify having a visual novels thread on a video-games board?
Unless it's an authentically interactive novel with a branching plot how can it be considered a game in any way? Should this thread be on /lit/, where the novels can be appropriately understood as works of writing, or a manga/general japanese board, where they can be understood as part of popular culture?
>>128642850
Why are you here exactly? >>>/out/

>>128643021
Then how do the mods justify putting VNS on a video-game board? It makes no sense, you're putting them on a board full of people who know fuck all about either literature or japanese culture, so either it's misplaced, or the mods think that general audience of these VNS on 4chan are people who indeed know fuck all about either literature or japanese culture, and just play video-games

Is the Teisou Kannen ZERO game any good?
I remember seeing this image god knows how many years ago of this VN in which these two twins had cut themselves in half, and had sown one half to the other's half because the MC couldn't decide which of the twins to date.
Could someone please be so kind as to tell me the name of this VN if it rings any bells? I've tried googling to the best of my abilities but I honestly haven't been able to find it.
>>128643943
Said sewn-together halves were also somehow still alive and proceeded to rape the MC. Rape as in the MC was too fucking horrified to even think about shoving them(it) off.
That's all I can remember.
>>128643841
Doesn't ring any bells but holy shit tell us if you find it because that's some steamy stuff.

Rip, no translation.
Since we're asking for sauce, I remember a picture of a VN scene posted many times on /a/ a couple of years ago. On the first screenshot, the girl is in a classroom and says something like "I'll get crushed if he refuses my feelings", on the second screenshot she's on the school rooftop about to confess but she gets literally crushed by a huge water tank in the last screen.
Does anyone know where this is from?

Now that sounds funny.
>>128644968
The only thing related to /a/, rooftops, and water tanks I can think of is a series called Naruto. It isn't a vn but it's pretty good so I'll recommend it to you.

Reminder
You'll hear a lot of nerds come in here and defend Umi's slutty past in high school. They'll tell you "she had to do it" for food, water, resources, protection...
The truth, and this will be revealed in the next two VNs, is that Umi NEEDS cock. All sorts of cock: old man cock, man cock, futanari cock, shota cock, small phimosis cock, cock of all kinds. Umi needs them in her pussy and in her pink little asshole because she's depraved.
In her training with Nagisa on the magical island, we're going to hear all about what she did in high school. Glory holes, Yakuza runnin' trains on her by the midnight fireside, Samurai probing her ass with metal instruments, even horses bustin' fat gallon-sized nuts on her pert little body.
She is a whore. Pink panties side, frilly panties side... Who cares? She's on the cock side. And that's why I love her.
>>128646416
Yeah, sluts are p. cute.
>>128646416
I love Umi.

What if you started learning Japanese today?
>>128647648
No thanks, I'd like to keep my brain cells.
>>128647648
Learning Japanese is hard work.
I'm also unable to do anything on my own. I should have learnt it while I was still in college.
>>128647839
I learned it before I went to college. There's no reason why you need to take a class to learn it.
>>128647839
Just watch anime bro, you'll pick it up in no time. :)
>>128647912
I can read fluent romaji Japanese.
>>128647989
Just read manga bro, you'll pick it up in no time. :)
>>128627903
There were 5 H scenes.
>>128628489
I wonder if the classic yuri manga look was intentional?
>>128629794
He got best waifu. Too bad she didn't get an H scene. My only hope is the fandisc.
