Is Sword of Asumi the best thing AJ Tilley produced?
>>
>>143451243
No, Beach Bounce Remastered is, but only until Summer Fling gets released. I also really loved Divine Slice of Life and My Highschool Cross Dressing Romance. Echo Tokyo Intro is sure to be great too after all of AJ's promised updates.

Adult Content

As Seeds of Chaos is an eroge, it will include a large amount of sexual content. Since sexuality is both a complex and disparate area, the decision was made to make the game one of general appeal in an attempt to encompass many kinks and parings. All of the following are planned for inclusion, with an option to filter out any scenes and/or events the player is not interested in seeing.

Pairings – Male / Female, Male / Male, Female / Female, Male / Futa, Female / Futa
Central kinks – Corruption, demon sex, & monster / monstergirl sex
Other kinks – BDSM, slave training, moral degeneration, furries, fembois / traps, nuns, exhibitionism, pregnancy / breeding, lactation, mindbreak, humiliation, prostitution, public use, addiction, transformation, bimboization, piercings / tattoos, squirting, bukkake, netorare / netori, & incest

They fell for the "pro SFX library" meme. BOOM is not industry standard, they just market themselves as such. Wouldn't surprise me if they torrented that.

The poor mic placement renders most of the SFX from there nearly useless even for layering. What good is having high quality recordings when it's a HQ recording of a really bad take?

Remember that he's overcharging you for being a stupid, gullible gaijin. 250-500 a minute is still ridiculous but much more in line.
>>
>>143469757
Whenever I get contacted by someone I don't want to work with, I just quote them triple my usual rate. Either I make a nice wad of cash, or I scare away a client I didn't really want in the first place

>>143469691
Nobody wants to listen to a piano being thrown down a flight of stairs for 20 minutes either, and yet, most shitty VNs still come with a soundtrack.

Exactly. Never trust initial rates. You have to fight them tooth and nail to earn their trust. This also gets you actual quality, since if you paid the asking cost they'll take you for a gullible fool who will be happy with anything.

I'm trying to figure out which elective classes to include in a high-school sim. Any suggestions?

The player will have the option to select four from a pool at the start of the game.
I've created some polls from the course catalog of my alma mater. I doubt I'm going to write stories for more than ten electives.

>>143473735
Back when I was in high school, most of those classes were considered blow-off classes. They weren't college-level in the slightest. They were more like half-done, barely-introductory-level classes that the school district set up for the sake of looking good to outsiders.
>>
>>143475482
$100/minute last I checked
>>
>>143476554
I'd read a satire on the mandatory education system and how worthless and wasteful it is. You'd have to mock high schooler culture as well though, making the dating sim aspect very disingenuous. It could be a masterpiece.
>>
>>143477792
I plan on making the dating-sim part of the game somewhat genuine, but the classes will mostly be jokes. I happened to also take aquatic science as an elective. The class would go to a nearby pond, fish whatever was living in it out, bring its catches back, and either overfeed, or forget to feed them. At least a few fish and one turtle died each semester. I always thought it was hilarious.
>>
>>143478761
Does this project have a name?
I want to help write this.
>>
>>143476554
The idea of a high school offering such weird courses is completely outside my experience, but I went to a small school, so there simply wasn't room for much in the way of electives. We barely managed to get them to let us have a drama class one year.

>>143479084
I'm calling it Crush for now. I started it a few days ago. The story and gameplay are probably nothing like what you're expecting, but here's a link to the blog I'm using. I didn't feel like designing a new blog myself, so I copped one off of a friend.

>>143492927
This isn't a joke. As a racist and homophobic white guy who grew up on the red pills of /pol/, one of my fears is that my game, which features diversity as part of the story, will be seen as leftist propaganda or some female/LGBT "empowerment" shit.
>>
>>143494598
Depends on how long the speech is. Surely you've played VNs with stupid digressions into shit you don't care about. I can handle a brief conversation about gold stars.
>>
>>143495389
> long

the whole game. Practically everything she shares about the game has some "lesson" about sexuality.
>>
>>143495381
Solution: Stop making your game, burn all the files, and martyr yourself somewhere dramatic, like at a pro-Obama fundraiser or something.

Destroying all the files first is important because the last thing you want is for them to look into your personal life, find your unfinished work, and conclude that you did it because you were a tragic, tortured soul who was too afraid to express your true progressive leanings.
>>
>>143495551
to the best of my knowledge it was literally one optional dialog branch (if you kissed a boy) that everyone was getting their panties in a bunch over.

most of what she shares about the game is 'LOL LOOK HOW HOT THIS IS I AM SO AWESOME' which is annoying in a totally diffferent way

>>
>>143495701
there's also the no homo bit with the athlete.
>>
>>143494712
If you as the player choose to kiss a boy the character goes into a rant about how kissing a boy doesn't make you stop being a lesbian, and expecting people to live up to a 'gold star' standard is stupid. as far as I know. which may not be wrong but is a random derail.
>>
>>143495985
That's actually pretty reasonable, minus the bad writing of a political rant breaking up the action.
>>
>>143495983
I have no idea what that's about, I may not be paying enough attention. I kind of tune most of those posts out
>>
>>143496102
idk, to me it sounded like she thinks bisexuals are imaginary creatures.
>>
>>143496410
It's a complicated mess because there's the whole lesbian-as-identity issue (and some of those girls are crazy), and then there's the lesbian-as-purity issue which is messed up in another way.

For the most part trying to tell someone else what they should label themselves is a lost cause, even if you think 'straightish' isn't precise enough.
>>
>>143495878
Still in development.

maybe it's a "last humans on earth have to enroll in a breeding program with different races" deal or something

>>143498664

>>
>>143495381
I can't even fathom what brings a person to label their own beliefs with anti-thought buzzwords. If you're afraid of people misinterpreting your work to champion causes you don't believe in or actively dislike, stop writing immediately, because that happens to any story worth a damn, which I hope you aspire to create. The most you can do is present the issues as causing the problems you believe they do. As long as you have a modicum of nuance to your worldview, you should be able to portray these topics without it reading like an alt-right manifesto, and the far left will still tear you apart.
>>
>>143500843
Any argument contains its own opposite.
Even if you argue vociferously in favor of something, someone will accuse you of being clearly against that thing and trying to make its advocates look bad.
>>
>>143501583
You can't live in fear of that. Like I said, if it's paralyzing to think of someone taking your story the wrong way, stop writing.
Or you could use a pen name, so your writing is partially anonymous.
You can't make the reader think something they don't already subconsciously believe, and there's a lot of people out there that disagree with you. Don't let them stomp on your work before it's even finished, because then nobody will hear what you have to say.

In full honesty, I do have a bishoujo game in the works and at least one other in concept phases where the otome heroine can go into lily mode instead. Don't think I could handle "Hard Mode" because I'd rather dump the dead weight than keep it in for pandering purposes.

For the game I'm talking about, at least two girls. One is a sporty type you have to knock over the head with your interest and the other is the sultry type who knocks you over the head with hers. Ambitious project, so it'll be years before I get to write about them. (I'm not normally into Yuri, but I already look forward to them. They're currently more fleshed out than most of the guys in that project.)

I can't tell if that's a good call or not. Helps me sometimes to edit a printed copy of my books, but... those are linear stories. I guess if they're only typo hunting... but they're not even done with the script yet, so it seems like wasted effort to me?
>>

Hey, free publicity. At least a few people are bound to ask what the hell is that.

That would be even more useless.

Seems to me like a "it's a lot of work guys, look how big is this shit" move than anything.

If I were a writer getting feedback from an editor, I'd much rather just have someone add notes/annotations to my document in something like Word or Google Docs than have to go through a massive stack and paper and look for the places where there's red ink.

What the fuck does he intend to do with that 400-page tome when he's done with it? Fucking mail it to the writer and say "here's my notes/corrections?"

When did using a phone camera to take a photo of your monitor become the norm? Every keyboard manufactured in the past 20+ years has a screenshot button, yet somehow it feels like we've gone backwards in terms of sophistication.

It's been over 4 years and the Missing Stars people still haven't released so much as a demo?

I guess they really are sticking to the Katawa Shoujo formula

What's it mean?

Does anyone actually look at a project and say "I hope this fails"? I don't think anybody WANTS any given VN to be bad, but that doesn't mean they're going to hold back and refrain from calling something a dog turd when it is one.

Yes. Black Sands.
>>
>>143569285
"Blyat" can be used as a noun, which means "whore", and as an interjection, which is equivalent of "fuck!" In that case it's the latter meaning.

>>143572504

Do you really want people with that kind of attitude to feel validated? His VN could be the second coming of christ in game form and I still wouldn't play it.
>>
>>143569509
Kind of a shame that so many devs are in agreement about this. And it's solely because of the director's shitty attitude. I wish he'd just sober up and approach things a little humility.
>>

Devs, on the other hand, are a completely unimportant miniscule fraction of the audience he's trying to appeal to.

Customers fall for bragging all the time.
>>
>>143573548
A very fair point.
>>
>>143573548
>Customers fall for bragging all the time.

Maybe it's because I'm also a dev, but games that claim to be "best ever" or "revolutionary" just make me eyeroll and judge them even more harshly.
>>
>>143574445
Well, they do for me as well, but it doesn't seem to put off the average consumer.
>>
>>143573548
Is that because they don't see the bragging? Or do they see it and not mind? I'm put off by it if I see it, but I guess I wouldn't know about the devs for most games.

People get really excited about superlatives and repeat them to their friends. "This is the first uncensored sex game on Steam!!! It is ushering in a new era!!!"

Packaged soundbyte promises are easier to reproduce than nuance.

So did alienworks rip off cosmillica with highway blossoms?
>>
>>143587593

They talked about it before. Said that neither one knew the other existed at the time. Raithfyre and the lead Cosmillica developer are friends so I guess it's probably fine.

As far as I can see the actual plots aren't similar at all, only the vague high concept of "road trip lesbians"

>>143592102
This is what happens when you don't bump with quality.
>>
>>143588841
Both seem to involve roadtrips to real locations in the USA, take place in a van, feature one set couple, are kinetic novels, and have music as a theme.

>>143587739

I wouldn't want to spend money and effort to create something and have a carbon copy of it exist somewhere.
>>
>>143595592
To be fair, both also look pretty awful.
>>
>>143595592
Highway Blossoms has music as a theme? I thought they were hunting for buried treasure
>>
>>143596239
The greenlight says the story is a tribute to music, but it's hard to tell how much going off a short description.
>>
>>143596239
also:
> real locations in the USA
Different halves of the US though as far as I know. Compared to Europe they may as well be totally different countries.
>take place in a van
Well, if you want to fuck on a road trip you probably need a van or an rv or something.
>feature one set couple
This is 90% of yuri games. Especially given that
>kinetic novels
it's hard to have romance options in a KN.

Highway Blossoms at least has some prominent side characters. From past experience with Dahlia I wouldn't be surprised if nobody but the main characters has a sprite in the Cosmilica game.

Even if one were inspired by the other, the inspiration couldn't really go any further than "hey, lesbians on a road trip, that would be cool, I should write a story about that"
>>
>>143596369
>goes to check out greenlight page
>stares in bafflement at the comment stating that SJWs love violent shooters and hate all lesbians
people are weird
>>
>>143596932

the greenlight comment section is the equivalent of youtube comments.
>>
>>143596932
Maybe people actually want games on steam, instead of shitty movies with still pictures and no voice acting in most cases.
>>
>>143596051
Is it wrong that I think Highway Blossoms looks comfy?
>>
>>143598224
No, not at all. I know a lot of people who enjoy listening to comfy audio books for an hour or so before sleep.

That reminds me, I should probably finish the yuri route in seduce me 2.

>>143600848
Finish writing it? Maybe add some actual yuri scenes?

Is there something like vndb for those interactive novels / choose your own adventure games that are pretty popular on android?
>>
>>143601489
Choice of Games games? No, the most they have is a forum and some have tvtropes pages. I've read a lot of them, are you looking for recommendations?
>>
>>143601797
I've had a look around the choice of games forums but I was wondering if there are other devs around.

So you get poly or you get told to fuck off?
>>
>>143602953
oh hell nah the first game it was one of the more tolerable routes. (though barely)
>>
>>143603362
Other reviews have said if you turn down the poly, you get 'Oh, actually, he doesn't really love her after all, so everything's fine!', so basically just a random choice of "Added dicks, yes or no" as the resolution of the route
>>
>>143603362
I'm not going to read through all possible combinations or disect the ren'pi files but it seems that way. I really don't want to play this any further, dicks or not.

>>143603274
I have no idea why the went with that sprite. All the other, cuter, girls in the demon worlds wear clothes. The sex scene I got was awful as well.

>>143603526
The first one also had more yuri choices.
>>
>>143603978
Oh, that sounds better. But doesn't that make the poly the bad end then?
>>
>>143604248
Harem end is always true and best end.
Unless it has more than one dude. Then it's worst end.

I wish this fucking meme would die already.
>>
>>143608261
Friendship routes are cute, I like them.
>>
>>143608504
They're okay if they're optional but I feel like it's just wasted content.
>>
>>143604159
>The sex scene I got was awful as well.
is there a CG? please post it or link it
>>
>>143609297
It's not explicit, and I've already uninstalled the game.
>>
>>143608967
How would a route not be optional? Or do you mean 'optional' as in 'the character must also be romanceable'?

Seems like the content would be more wasted then because only tumblrites who identify as asexual would pick the friendship route intentionally
>>
>>143611339
I can imagine people picking an optional friendship route if it's a game with both straight and gay routes.
