speaking of ero in general, it seems like appetite is still releasing their games like crazy. like at least one title per month/two months. now thats some delicious slop!

ooo nice nice! i havent read it myself yet but i like the pinkhaired loli w. wasnt there also an anime coming out?
im currently in the process, and its not eroge but, im finally reading gerokasu! everyone loves moe and some good ryona, so when theyre mixed into one, this is quite good x3 hinoue itaru-sensei's gesugao are immaculate
Yes there was. I didn't watch it though, but a friend said it was worth it. I like the gyaru looking one, but the loli is pretty good too
wait it already released lmao? i think i saw some collaborative(?) merch(??) racing queen illustrations, but i guess they wouldnt pull them out of nowhere for no reason.. i havent watched anime in literal years lol;-;
oooo nice! i dont have a lot of energy these days for whatever reason, so im slowly but steadily going through my backlog too. i tried to finish lewd idol project 2 but its just so fucking bad i had to drop it LOL
also, this is not eroge but have you read anemoi? or are you planning to? ive heard some meh reviews about key's other recent titles (prima doll or loopers or summer pockets), but ive heard nothing but praise for anemoi so far, with some even going as far as calling it the new clannad! im really hoping thats the case, because it would be sad if we lost something as big as key, as silly as it sounds xd
Unfortunately, I don't play AA games. It's unlikely that I'll find the time to do so, as I already struggle to play everything I want to. Typically, I manage to play only about 30% of the games released in a year. Sometimes, I skim through the remaining 70% to see if any are interesting, especially after completing the common route.
For instance, I have finished the common route for Whirlpool's final project, Relirium, but the writing and story are quite lacking. I'm not sure if the true ending is any better, but the plot lacks depth.
I did play Clannad, and that was the only time I tried an AA game, but I didn't enjoy it at all, so I don't plan on touching any of Key's games again.
Triple Pairing, similar to Happy Weekend, is refreshing.
i guess it doesnt take much time then, considering how lacking in releases the scene has been..^^;; im pretty sure appetite is the only studio that still produces nukige regularly. like one title per two month regularly. theyre pretty short though, and from the looks of it, not exactly high quality ww
i kinda miss pinpoint sigh. i heard they were making some anal-focused stuff, but so far nothing came out of it D: would be fun if they managed to bag takeda hiromitsu again lol. his art suits their usual type of content really well..!
oh ive seen this one on twitter! one of the heroines looks like priconne's kyouka, which is funny. but its sad that studios are closing down,, even if its natural with the passage of time D: though some apparently werent their biggest fans due to their games feeling like pointless shovelware. still, could be worse! one of those nukige studios apparently opened an ai-focused subsidiary or whatever the word is and theyre deleting everyones comments who point out the ai usage, so i dont even know which option is better
Oh, now that you mention it, she does resemble Kyouka from Priconne.
When I was about to start my eroge journey, Whirlpool appeared, it has been around 20 years since then. Whirlpool holds a special place in my heart. I remember picking up a game shipped from Japan while I were on the way to my Japanese class.
The Japanese teacher, a cool guy, caught a glimpse of it. the game was Justy x Nasty. He finally understood why I was so unusually motivated and progressing extremely well in the class. Relirium world is connected to Justy x Nasty as well, the lore book mentioned it.
I guess Whirlpool staff probably wanted to retire.
I also love kinetic or single heroine game. They are bite size. Honory mention will be given to CloverGame (their specialty), WillPlus's subsidaries company, and Azarashisoft plus or one plus I can't remember.
But you can say I always look forward to Azarashisoft.

I'm also playing Clovergame's Futureless Butterfly. I've just started and I'm thinking I should finish all the other single-heroine games from Clovergame. It's very interesting. Additionally, I forgot to mention that the seiyuu for Relirium is excellent, that's what saved the game for me. The BGM is quite well done.
:0 what a cute story!! ww it seems like tons of people pick up japanese language for the sake of vns, especially considering how many untranslated (and untranslatable) kamige there are. they sure make it sound easy! my fav is that twitter guy who passed jlpt thanks to rance games. passionate otaku are scary!!
im still waiting for any info on clockup's new title, if it ever comes out. surely they wouldnt spend their time developing something while giving almost no info on the development to just come up with another mid nukige? especially with norizane as the artist (biased). and clockup is pretty infamous for their dark stories! though, considering how even urobuchi noticed how most games nowadays are aimed to heal you instead of break you, maybe the momentum is just not right.. w
I think it was after E-School Life that Hooksoft titles practically become almost clones of one another structurally...not sure if it's really the case or it's just a somewhat permanent burnout on my end...
I never did got around to write it because of the void state of the place several months ago, but Happy Weekend proved bleh to me...and unlike I'Suki, there was no hard carry to be found there, either...

Strangely, I never feel burnt out with simple romantic story like these, although sometimes I long for some "isekai" story like Wagahime, that was legendary.
Too bad, Relirium wasn't it. You guys got any recommendations? Something not a tentacle monster rape kind please?
To be honest, after about 1,000 hours, I had already learned the basic vocabulary, including kanji, before I even took the class. While I still cannot write it properly, I can at least read, recognize common words, understand grammar structures, and, most importantly, the style of literacy.

kinda same! unfortunately im not knowledgeable enough about actual kanji (i only know elementary school level ones), and im not diligent enough to actually start learning, but id say im okay with listening! as in, i can mostly understand what is being said. and i do understand how to build actual sentences and such. i learned kana back in middle school, so that also helped (and helps to this day):D even now, i still sometimes learn new words from japanese vns, including kanji. i cannot remember them, but i can like, distinguish between them with context! w
sadly im not keeping tabs on newer eroge releases, as im busy with otome for the most part right now:( your best bet is to, once again, refer to appetite, because even though their vns are very short and mostly bitesized, theyre mostly grounded in reality. im also still waiting for flatcheez 4 to come out.. oh and apparently theres a new motto haramase title coming out very soon:0 while its still unreleased, you can try to decipher which heroine is based on which anime character in the meantime, since thats their entire shtick w
