>>50638352F*ck me this captcha is absolute garbage.
coming out in the end
damn did blog really die at 96 replies? that's terrible
>>50639003Threads that are too old get autosaged or something stupid
>>50639003The new rule truly is terrible. The other threads on this board also became even lower quality, as if it wasn't bad already. I wonder if /blog/ can stay alive at this point if a new thread has to be made this often.
>>50639010>>50639038what rule are you guys talking about? i don't come here too often. part of the appeal of /jp/ for me is that i can let a thread sit for a few weeks and return to it...
>>50639068Maybe someone else can show exact, written proof about this rule but I've seen it myself with this thread and others on /jp/ where it'll just autosage and die after 14 days, especially without activity. This is bad because the point of /jp/ for many is exactly what you mentioned.
>>50638872I saw some people complain about the MC's design, and honestly? Those are such nothingburger changes, it could be worse.
>>50638872That blatant AI use though...
>>50638872>AIshitRejet games were always low brow slop but I can sense this will be bottom of the barrel content from a mile away.
>>50638872lmao were Asahi's glasses removed because the AI couldn't handle animating them?
>>50638352No download link for this game yet?
How do you guys access otomedream forum? I cannot even get the website to load.
>>50639716I'm waiting for it on Aarin or AS community but no link so far, just someone who said they might upload the game by the end of the month at the earliest.
>>50640171Step one: be Chinese.Step two: pay the forum operators money.
>>50640171>>50642484Heard they're not doing well too. New gen understands that it's retarded to pay for piracy..
Anyone remember this when it got cancelled 3-4 years ago and reemerged with crowdfunding? Wonder what happened that caused it to be canceled
>>50638872Eh... can I just settle for the pv song? Has it been released yet?
>>50642699They putting up a wall too hard would be their reason of deadNot wonder otome vn scene release is rare,had to wait for months or even year for a new release sucks
Is this sales number low or high for the year
>>50642836
>>50642847These are only physical sales right? Not counting sales from the Nitento estore?
>>50642781>Wonder what happened that caused it to be canceledStaff-related matter is usually the reason. Small production teams can't really afford to replace staff so if the founding people decide to leave then they usually just close down.
>>50640207Didn't AS go the attention whore route? You need to have a required amount of posts before you can access the links
>>50643748It's a very tiny number of posts (like single digit from what I've seen). Admin says they are trying to separate real people from bot accounts or people there for scraping and reposting links. There's some weird system where spammy posts like the "count to 1000" threads count against you. Supposedly this is being used to prototype a system for the rest of the site, but I can't see that ever working.Uploaders can set a required post count, but I've only seen one person doing it, and that was before the new system started.
>>50643748From what I remember I only had to like the posts with the links in order to be able to download them.
>>50643989You have to be an active forum member to access the threads now
Why don't they just use the vita emu to play it?
>>50644140I don't know what it is but a lot of otome players are allergic to piracy.
>>50644161I can understand the mindset if it's a new game since the industry's on life support these days but why would anyone feel bad about pirating an old ass vita game on a dead console?
>>50643408Yeah, cartridge sales that made it on the famitsu top 30 weekly sales ranking. Otherwise they don't release a specific count, so it can get kinda funky schrodingery with stuff that didn't get on the ranks. For example Tierblade carts definitely sold less than 1857 (sales for game ranked 30th that week), but who's to say it didn't sell more than Hiiro no Kakera (1439)?And for otome games, this generally only covers release sales, since it's like the only time there's enough bulk sales to get on the ranks.All in all, not exactly the best metric but it's also all we've got (?)
>>50644181>>50644161It's because they're women. Not a misogyny post but women in general are taught to be moralfags, so they moralfag. They're probably scared of torrents too
Does otomedream still have that FTP server with everything?
I used to be partially anti piracy myself, until I realized that the money these so called otome companies make is often funneled into funding moid slop projects, with only whatever is left being used to produce a cutter cookie otome title. Otomates CEO saying [Let’s make otome that appeal to men too] really says everything.And Rejet using AI now was the final straw. I am not giving them a single cent. If I could pirate merch too, I would.
It's interesting to scroll through Twitter and see discussions about Rejet's use of AI. This goes for more than just otome games, but it's a lot of westerners going "grr ai bad" while the Japanese side is more mixed ranging from "grr ai bad" to "i dont have a problem with it but they should publicly say they're using ai" to "people are idiots for complaining about this, there's nothing wrong with ai"Rejet would never care about western gaijin opinions anyway, so maybe they'll just keep using AI going forward. I wonder what the chinese opinions are like, since rejet has a cn audience too.
>>50646141>Otomates CEO saying [Let’s make otome that appeal to men too] really says everything.They just want to appeal to a wider audience and I don't blame them. It’s always been a problem not exclusive to otome that women are willing to consume all kinds of media while men are often unwilling to engage with media made for women.>>50646215>Japanese side is more mixedOnly people whose jobs are directly affected by AI are against it. Unfortunately the use of AI are completely normalized by the average person in Japan, they really use ChatGPT for everything.
>>50646274>Only people whose jobs are directly affected by AI are against it. Unfortunately the use of AI are completely normalized by the average person in Japan, they really use ChatGPT for everything.Yeah there are even ads on the train.
>>50646215>I wonder what the chinese opinions are likeProbably similar to Japan, they love AI slop.
>>50644140What site is that? If it's reddit then no wonder because they literally have a no-piracy rule (which is dumb because there are games that you can't play unless you spend a ton of money on some cartridge because the company went defunct on the 2000's or before).
What's a good VN to read if I'm an absolute beginner (level 5 wanikani and halfway through Yoku.bi)? I'd like something voiced pretty please… BL only
>>50646956Haiiro no Arcadia.
>>50646215China's AI RP hobby is booming. They don't seem to care, but people who use AI and don't say that upfront get bullied.
>>50646956Gakuen Heaven 2
>>50646141>realized that the money these so called otome companies make is often funneled into funding moid slop projects, with only whatever is left being used to produce a cutterReason why the Hypmic project is ending. The ceos made sure that they collaborate with Uta no pri first, before they stop and secure another yuribait gacha flop.

>>50649116I hate it when they only port the first game and leave the FD/sequel to rot. It shouldn't be that hard to combine all of them into one big game, Otomate literally did this for all of their old games.
Now to who do they want this to appeal to? Men or women? It should be the LIs thighs or at least one of the LIs desperately grasping her thighs. They really think from a male pov don't they why are jp so cucked.
>>50651259Sometimes MC isn't meant to be a self-insert and that's okay. I hope this one is fully voiced like Hibari in Variable Barricade.
>>50651261This isn’t about self inserting. It’s just stupid that a game advertised for women focuses more on the heroine and her body giving her big tits or showing off her body more than the LIs, when the main appeal of otome is the LIs. You can clearly see them desperately trying to appeal to male audiences too, but that’s never going to happen because, simply put, men don’t give a fuck about female media and just shit on them. The focus should be women. That’s what I’m saying. Nothing to do with self insert or not. They didn’t even show the LIs ass properly, they just cropped it. It's the same thing with R18 otome CG.
>>50646215Funny, there was a popular tweet on jap twitter recently about how JP companies always ape what the west is doing but also always lag behind, so while westerners already switched to disliking AI, jap companies are still trying to push it everywhere.
>>50651303The main appeal of galge is the LIs too, that doesn't stop the devs from making the occasional cool MCs that can overshadow even the LIs. It’s good when companies try to do things outside the norm, maybe it will work, maybe it won’t, but it’s still better than playing it safe all the time.
>>50651259Agreed, the LIs should be the ones getting slutted out. Or at least make it more like those actual threesome shots
>>50649116Doesn't this have a really bad translation?
>>50651259For many years now console otome has not appealed to what girls want but to what boomers think girls want. So these longstanding tired trends continue, the playerbase decreases but the audience for otome still exists
>>50651259I don't understand how a genre that's suppose to be female oriented is so backwards. From the art and even the writing, everything is completely off the mark. Japanese women don't want sexy men with assets nor want to self insert as women with any agency or respect. It's pathetic, it's no wonder chinks are beating them at everything.
>>50653663did wonder why it stayed all ages and console only for so long Would had though otome would had gone indie and pc based but that didn't happen
People are seething over the MC showing some thighs? I can't help but feel like you guys just hate seeing female characters getting the spotlight over the male characters. If there was an otome version of Little Busters or Dies Irae I wonder how they would be received by this community.
>>50654475>female characters getting the spotlight over the male charactersWoah its almost as if those anons are straight
>>50654494You can be straight and still appreciate characters of the same sex. Kyousuke from LB beat all the heroines to become the #1 character in the official Key poll. Rance from the Rance series also managed the same feat. I don’t see dudebros throwing a fit over male characters getting the spotlight in galge, in fact they tend to love it as long as the characters are well written.
>>50654475>>50654597>in fact they tend to love it as long as the characters are well writtenSure but that's not the point. I get it that you're a tourist who hasn't played otome games but the genre is well known to be stingy with the LI fan service while still unapologetic about showing off the girl's skin in the artwork. Most R18 otome is especially focused on the girl in the CGs. Otome is basically the equivalent of moege for women. Why the fuck shouldn't it be focused on male characters??? Also well written women are highly appreciated by other women but they're almost non-existent in joseimuke visual novels, especially in non-doujin titles, and that is the truth. They're self insert characters (otome) or do not exist (BL) duh.
This is exactly what I want for an otome protagonist. A nihilist who hates fucking everything including herself, literally me.
>>50654475>shows her thighs and gives her big tits>crops one of the LIs ass and dresses them both like nuns>btw it’s otomeYou don’t see the problem, noobie chan?That's not equal fanservice, that's moid corpos trying to pander to moids who dgaf about otome. No one would have seethed if for example the LI kneeling in front of the camera, was showing us his ass in tight pants clinging to her legs and worshipping her like a goddess and the other brown LI had a tits out shirt instead of that tiny shitty little gap that not even my pinky can fit in.
What's the cringiest H scene you've ever read frpm a VN ?
>>50654597Those characters you're talking about are beloved because they're some of the most interesting aspects of their own respective game... unless you're going to pretend like Otomate MC #37 is compelling and worth loving to that extent? Before you've even played the game?Odd that you're even making this irrelevant comparison when the original anons were talking about a bonus illustration that quite literally exists to entice players to buy special overpriced versions of the game. Of course they're going to want a hot guy as the focus instead of the MC's sex appeal before they even know anything about her.
do bl games with trap protags exist? this is my fetish and my nihongo isn’t good enough to tell if it exists anywhere, in obscure doujin circles or anything. it feels niche
>>50654475>If there was an otome version of Little Busters or Dies Irae I wonder how they would be received by this community.fun fact but the two homos from dies irae are so liked, including and specially reinhard, that before any girl got any figure he's the only one who got one. he also had a daki afaik. and that one duo gay ass song from the anime too.nobody complained about this either
>>50655131I'd kill for a Shirou figure.
>>50655023Depends. Are there games with trap protagonists that only have sex with men? Yes, there's a few. But these are basically all nukige and not too dissimilar from any nukige that has the girl as the MC. Now if you mean like a standard BL game with different LIs but the MC just happens to be a trap, I'm not aware of one.
>>50655023Tokyo Onmyouji's MC gets topped by a trap if that's close enough to your kink.
>>50655005I don’t see a problem with the MC showing some sex appeal for marketing. Hardcore otome fans are going to buy it regardless, if this kind of illustration helps people outside the usual audience notice the game, then sure why not go for it? Only extremely petty fans would see it as some sort of betrayal, probably the same people who were seething over the “yaoi” in Virche.
>>50655263>people outside the usual audience notice the game>random kimoota notices the thighs>"ewww it's otomeshit, pass"what's the fucking point99.9% of otome games marketing is aimed at the already existing audience anyway, so it's all like what >>50651259 anon says, they're just incapable of even imagining what fanservice for women would be like
Is anyone gonna leak Suito wa Hakumei?
>Draws men like women>Draws mfm 3p but it's 90% female thighsThe slope is sloping, you'll see Yomi yurige one day
>>50655145The evn dev Ebi-Hime has a few like this if I remember right. Don’t think any of them are R18 though. I’ve not actually played any of her games but I keep tabs on her because I think it’s endearing how many games she’s made about her arabian cousin BL OCs, to the displeasure of her fans that are all yurifags.
Is it my imagination or has "male mc in otome" discourse been popping up more often? I swear it wasn't this bad before.
>>50655661Where do you even hang out to encounter such retarded takes?
>>50655263Has the strategy worked though? The market only seems to be shrinking instead of inviting new eyes. Maybe take a hint.
>>50655263It would get more attention if they played up the LI's sex appeal though. That's part of the reason why people flock to CN otome lately.
>>50655670Twitter unfortunately, where i get my news about otome related stuff + where my favorite artists are, however i also tend to see some of the discourse in the joseimuke thread on vmg.
>>50656173>vmg?
>>50656176>/vmg/ - Video Games/Mobile
>>50656173>discourse in the joseimuke thread on vmgwhy are you trying to spread shit to other threads? keep your discourse where you found it
>>50656228??? I literally said that i've been seeing more discourse than normal, where did you get that i was trying to spread discourse here huh?
>bringing up discourse for no reason when you can just talk about it where you found it is not spreading itok then
>>50655263It's not working and that's why people move to gachaslop and pay millions to LADs and WHB.
>>50656676Gacha is a whole different ballgame, it’s on mobile which already guarantees far more casual players since everyone has a phone but not a switch. Gacha = high risk high reward, the earning potential is much higher but so are the costs for server maintenance, constant content updates and promotion. Traditional otome = low risk low reward, once the game is out then the job is mostly done.If you want full-on pandering with endless content and active fandom then just go for mobile & gacha. I’d never want traditional otome to even come close to the level of exposure that LADs has, it would just ruin the medium. Some things are meant to be niche and should stay niche.
>>50655263If something niche appeals to "everyone" then it appeals to no one. Your mentality is the same exact cluelessness why people hate many OELVNs, it isolates the real audience because it's inclusive to things actual fans don't want and yet still wants to be classifed as """otome""".
Is this game that bad ? I almost never see anyone talking about it.
>>50660842I personally found Kirku so insufferable I did one route and dropped the game
Are there any recent doujin BLVNs in Japanese, which you found well written or fun
>>50662650I think it’s probably only fujobait/has gay stuff with side characters but I’m interested in Hachigatsu no Damnation. I’ve played all the dev(fuyu no imouto/winter sister)’s previous games, they scratched an itch for me since I love twisty mystery stories.But I can’t really be fucked to work out how to buy things from DLsite these days so I haven’t played it. I don’t understand why a primarily SFW dev would still be publishing there but I guess they’re stuck in their ways.
Legal shota has to be the least appealing type of character. I can't see them as cuties when I already have the knowledge that they are grown men.
Did anemone get Suito wa Hakumei ?
>>50663930spambro, just buy it
>>50663941I was mostly curious about peoples impressions?
>>50663947AS didn't leak it yet and the only spoiler I've found about it so far is that this guy's apparently the game's Minku.
>>50664144I want to know if it's worth starving for
Speaking of Minkus, does anyone like them? They're usually the most boring characters imo.
Finished Kai's route and I take back my comment about him being boring and the weaker LI.He is such an adorable mix of spaghetti spiller, insane lack of self worth, desperately needs therapy yet just a dude very honest about his love. His route was pretty entertaining and cute.I'll probably do Yuuri>Soichi>Miyabi>Ran>if there is some sort of true/grand end. Ran is still my favorite so saving him for last if I can.
>>50664299Depends if we are talking about actual minkus or Senge type that gets misunderstood. Your average minkus>unattractive >poor and stupid>shits on the floor>beats up and rapes his lover because he can>into aobaYour average Senge>beautiful and perfect >rich and smart>doesn't shit at all>rapes the mc for the sake of Japan and emperor, and because that's hot>has Kyou riding him and changing his diapers 24/7Only people with shit taste like minkus
>>50664619Unrelated but i remember that one time i showed Senge to a friend that's a Minku fan, he called Senge an ugly ikemen.
They're both uggos to me. Hanazawa and Zeek from Galtia are the most handsome rapists.
>>50664727Oh and August's not bad on the eye either.
>>50638352Guy looks like he needs to be shown what you call COMPOSURE
>>50664598sis this game is new at least have the decency to spoiler that shit.
>>50664598According to JP, Ran is the true route.
>>50664598The hack is still struggling drawing limbs huh. Well at least it's cute. Better than the ugly ass cxm art.
>>50665348I wonder if otome companies know that they can make true route without it having a canon LI. I really hate when they try to push one LI being more canon than others.
>>50664598Do the shades stay on during sex?
>>50664598he looks a little faggy
anyone have a link for Ooe?
>>50668370Yes
>>50668370Look for it on www.yaoiotaku.com or www.anime-sharing.com.
>spoonfeeding underage retardsat least teach the creature to use the archive instead
>>50669123Newfags wonder why valuable websites get shut down when they're throwing around links in their discords
>>50669123It's annoying how so many just come here to beg instead of providing any real discussion desu
>>50665518What's wrong with them? I see nothing wrong anatomy-wise except for the weird ass ears that make the mc look like she's half elf or something.
>>50669622NTA but the way his arms are posed look so unnatural.
>>50669526Any bump helps at this point
[otome] pretty interested in this random new game announcement (japanese+english on steam)https://www.famitsu.com/article/202602/65761[bl] hen'ai necromanticism is finally coming out this month as a pretty long free vn. switch mc. jp onlyhttps://x.com/aikawanemu/status/2021781327503405449
>memes about Armored Core VI being an otome gameuhh memes aside, has anyone here played this and have any input on this?>>50672433>free vninteresting that it's being released through proper storefronts when it's free
It's funny how the thing that dates Dramatical Murder the most is the fact Aoba has an actual song as ringtone.
So glad certain pick-me mods on AS are finally getting exposed: https://www.anime-sharing.com/threads/hakuouki-ssl-sweet-school-life-eng-request.1871240/#post-7393543 .
I just wish otomate had more competition. I'm so in love with the otome genre and I'm thankful for otomate for introducing it to me, but besides the art and seiyuus, I keep getting disappointed over and over to the point I'm jaded and almost surprised they're this successful. Maybe I need new hobbies.
>>50676034What are some of your favorite otome anon? Since otomate puts out so many per year, surely at least one of them fits your taste?
>>50676034Sorry but I can't understand how people consume otome one after another. I enjoy otome sometimes but I have to play something else as a palate cleanser in between, especially otome with subpar writing where everyone else memes as "good". Exploring other genres and hobbies isn't a bad thing.
>>50675647>posts direct linksThat's why 10+yo sites have been dying lately because of faggots like you.
>>50676148>10+yo sites have been dying which ones? All of the sites I use for pirating games for years are still very much alive and kicking.
>>50675647their new mod's another control freak huh>inb4 only control freaks would step up to be mods to begin with
>>50675647For whatever reason, the roasties who post their slop over there starts crying if anyone criticizes or shares AS content. I don't get why these attention whores are so mentally ill about the stupidest shit.
>>50675647Admin stepped in. The co-purchase group kind of makes sense. Some games would have never gotten shared without it desu. But forbidding others to upload before them is asshole move. And principals in piracy sites are retarded.>>50676279Maybe anon means bato? But that was for manga and webtoon not games.
>>50675647>holds co-purchase game hostage until March>someone snipes the upload>deletes the sniped upload and uploads the co-purchase copy ahead of planned time to farm likes and repliesI normally don't think too much about posts locked behind likes, but this is definitely attention whore behavior>admin has to step inalso dumb that the admin tries to cover for the mod saying they're """in training""" and """adjusting""" but why give out full mod privileges to someone who doesn't even understand the forum's standards? idgi
>>50676983>why give out full mod privileges to someone who doesn't even understand the forum's standards?Probably because they sucked up big time and is a pick me as anon mentioned. I swear, they aren't different from the average basement dwelling discord mod. Real braindead bunch of people who only want to police others and attention whore.
I've started 24-ku while waiting for Suito wa Hakumei to be leaked and I already hate this bitchass. Like dude creepy stalker much ?
whats a yume and why am i being called that?
>>50676983>>50676917They seem shady. They said they would only share the games after one month as a matter of principle, but then Glass Heart Princess was leaked by a scene group first, and another AS user said they could share UnLOGICAL themselves. Because of this, the mod suddenly decided to release the games early to take credit.In the first place donating to purchase every game feels like a waste. It would make more sense to wait and see whether certain games are skipped by scene groups and whether no individual plans to share them before asking for donations.
>>50677317self-inserters basically
>omegaverse>not 18+How does that even work?
>>50678699>omega heroine YAWWWWNNNNN
>>50678699I hope this flops hard.
>>50662650Not explicitly BL but the circle Marutoku makes some really solid fujobait games. My favorites are No Salvation and Zeno Remake. Their games usually have mostly male casts with very few female characters so I think they’d appeal to anons in this thread. Their latest game くびち was tagged as BL and R18 but the sex isn’t between the main characters. I read the demo and thought it was pretty good.
>>50678988>> they'd appeal to anons in this threadWhy would I read bait ? Either commit to the BL bit or don't bother.
>>50678988Thanks. Explicit gay sex is subhuman shit.
>>50678699The fact that they needed to clarify, lol.
>>50664171Talking with someone who's playing the game rn and they believe MC's too much of an uke to realistically be in the military desu. They only finished Touka's route who's apparently more of Keisuke than a Minku him being an Yandere raping the MC is supposed to be the result of him drinking demon blood, without that he wouldn't be a bad person.. His route apparently spoils a bit for the true route so you shouldn't start with his. They also said they're not enjoying the game as much as Holicworks' previous VNs and the ratings on vndb are pretty bad so far, so probably better to hold off for the leak instead of buying it.
>>50678699the character designs are not even good enough to redeem itthey're basically all the same guy with different hair colors
>>50681054It has the feel of early 2000s shoujo / PSP era otome which I don't mind. Personally I always find it easier to relate to and grow attached to characters with more down-to-earth designs than to glamorous characters who seem too beautiful to be real.
>>50681137The one on the far left reminds me of one of the LIs from Light and Night.
Guy with red hair >>>I'm unironically looking forward to this Hakuouki spin-off the most.
I'm interested in that. Same writer that worked on ZKG, so the cult plot will be interesting.
And that's the one written by Katagiri.So many otome coming out. I wish bl did a comeback too because sadly not too many coming out.
>>50681333It looks too colorful to be true horror. We'll probably get something like 9RIP.
>>50681336The rest of the staff for this seems promising. Kinda wish it hadn't been Katagiri though.
>>50681344Ah you don't like her? I really like her writing. Her gap moe chuuni boys are the best. The plots aren't from my fav but most otomate games that I enjoyed are by her and Yoshimura Ririka.
>>50681336>So many otome coming outsis we'll be lucky if even half of these turn out to be average. Last year OVER REQUIEMZ was the only one that gained any traction.
>>50681448You aren't wrong...quantity doesn't guarantee quality. I was very disappointed about the omegaverse game, because 3/5 LIs are alphas, otouto is a beta though and one LI is ???, but he's probably an alpha rare mix too lol. How fun it'd be if MC was an alpha for a change. Nursery one looks interesting at least but it's like >>50681337 anon said, it's closer to 9rip. I was disappointed about rejet too, using AI gen graphics, I hope they won't cheapen the cgs and artwork in their games,commercial otome companies in general, because asking money for AI is disgusting. Key la box looks promising at least. And R18 otome are doing a comeback too, but I'll try not to get too excited only to get disappointed in the end. It doesn't have to be something super WOW, just something that will leave at least something on me and not be like ah ok next game it is or drop it is. BL companies are turning to gacha, so at least good to see that otome conpanies are moving to switch and giving up on gacha. Lads did something good at least and made many of them give up and look for better alternatives and fund their money or guaranteed stuff.
>>50681296I’ve never played Hakuoki (despite playing otome for more than 10 years, maybe I should), but I always wanted to see a western style version of one of those historical war otome games so it’s kind of interesting to me for that reason, though it doesn’t look like the war aspect will be that much of a focus beyond having soldiers as antagonists.I remember there was going to be one based on the war of the roses but it was vaporware and eventually got taken down by vndb. I think it was from Mio?>>50681333This one interests me the most. Reminds me of Sweet Clown a little.
>>50681498They show some dueling scenes in the trailer so there will be some action at least : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_j6xGDMLC0Though I'm a bit skeptical since they still haven't revealed the scenario writer. It will be such a waste of good art and setting if they half-ass the script.
>>50681296Which character is Russian? Russians smell and look like shit
>>50681296Never thought I'd be excited for a Hakuoki spin-off in 2026, hope it turns out good>>50681333See this one sounds like it might be good on paper but the style and art leaves me cautious about how much they'll lean into the horror/eerie aspect. I'll keep an eye on this one
Is there an otome that features mostly nightlife scenes? Something like Slow Damage (not the whole thing, just its after dark setting) or this https://vndb.org/v21620 . I really dig the atmosphere in these games.
I like Voltage/AmuLit but why did they go the commercial otome route instead of the gacha route? They already make mobage, so wouldn't gacha be more profitable? Or are companies still hesitant to try out the whole "otome gacha" thing?
>>50682225It's not easy to make a profitable gacha as anon said >>50656708They need to invest a lot upfront and it could end up bankrupting their company in the worst case scenario.
>アイドルと〇〇しちゃダメですか？Have any anons tried this? I see nips meme about it a decent amount. I thought it was a mobile game but its freewareNot sure about TL quality but its on steam in eng too
