Check out the public yuri mod paste and consider adding more mods and fan translations here: https://rentry.org/n4ugnvhf
Edit password: yurimod

Last thread's fan translation additions: Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 3 (Disaster Report 3) for the PSP, Haru No Oto (translated by redsh), P3R mod is officially out
Last thread's mod additions: Mass Effect Legendary Edition mod (same-sex Tali romance for LE3), Baldur's Gate 2 mods (more lesbian companions, new content expansion)

The yuri game recommendation list is completed. Two 200k character pastes, 100 entries, 136 games, 30 Tags, reviews, store links, spin-off media, a tag Glossary, resource links and more. The goal of having a balanced list with many different genres for both gaming newcomers and yuri newcomers has been fulfilled. No transgender, no GB and no forced het. If you are completely new, the Essentials tag will be what you want to look at for sure.
This should be it for a long while.

SKyrim has a romance DLC now.

>>4489736
This is some creation club thing right? Basically officially approved mods. Not quite a real Bethesda DLC, but that can only be for the best. Elder Scrolls 6 should come out soonish, so it's not like they are going to do anything for Skyrim.

File: Avery the mistress.jpg (380 KB, 1905x905)

Degrees of Lewdity just got a major update a little bit ago, adding major Avery content and changing the systems a little bit. The Avery content allows you to move in with her at her mansion if you get her to love you enough (I think you also need to go to her Eyes Wide Shut masked party with the cult). This is the only safe way to live outside the orphanage, because she actually gets Bailey's approval, so you no longer need to pay your debt. This unlocks a longer questline involving Landry and the criminal underground. You also are required to cook for her and keep her approval up or she will throw you out. Due to that you need to be at her mansion at 19:00 every weekday at dinner and can't just disappear for weeks like you do at the orphanage. So there are downsides too.
There have also been hundreds of other additions, from special clothes, to new questlines, more backstory for certain NPCs and more options in a lot of situations. There's also just a bunch of secret shit the patch notes don't even tell you.

There has also been a huge update for DoLPlus which adds a bunch of stuff, but mostly just makes the mod work with the new vanilla changes. It also enabled the option to select NNPC sprites from various artists. Goose mod has a few default sprites for certain characters, but now there are way more (for any version). You can change sprites anytime in the options.

>Elder Scrolls 6 should come out soonish
Anon, I...

>>4489753
Did it give you more control during sex scenes? Last I played it didn't let you rim a girl, or let you make a girl rim you. If it happened it was RNG

>>4489767
Those things depend on several factors, like whether it's a consensual encounter and how high your promiscuity is. Also how undressed you are. With your love interests you can usually ask them what to do or not to do. Like telling them not to penetrate with a strap-on or dildo or moving their hands to your neck so they can choke you.
During rape scenes you can't choose much. You can only keep them away from certain actions by blocking them or fight back violently.

>>4489788
I don't know why you goobers act so smug. They literally said it would come out between 2026 and 2027. I get that it has been an incredibly long time betwen Skyrim and this, but that's because they only started active development in 2023. The 12 years before that don't matter because they never did anything during those. They managed to crank out 5 games in like 5 years so I'm pretty sure it's not gonna take more than a year or two at this point.

>>4489790
Not like it matters. The game (and its base romance options) will likely be dogshit regardless of how long it takes them to release it.

>>4489792
Most likely, but they could also not suck. And if nothing else, it gives modders a new engine and and a new sandbox to play with. Elder Scrolls Online had a few gay couples among NPCs, so I'm hoping the trend continues. I hesitate to call Skyrim's marriage system anything but a formality, so it's not exactly hard to improve.

>>4489714
>No transgender, no GB and no forced het
Therefore /u/ will ignore your list.

>>4489815
Didn't they already have player marriage? I thought they didn't want to do NPC romance. Guess they would run of out content eventually if they didnt add new features. And ultimately people are just gonna ignore their spouses like they did in Skyrim haha

>>4489819
>I thought they didn't want to do NPC romance.
Their lead dev didn't but he resigned earlier this year and the new leadership has already made one very popular knight guy NPC romancable and hinted the other very popular NPC, a dark elf female assassin, will be too.

>>4489797
Glad we're starting out strong with your delusions

>>4489714
>P3R mod is officially out
Is anyone working on animated cutscenes for P3R or P5R? That seems like the biggest hurdle after figuring out animation jank.

>>4489792
Nah it will eb fine people will try to dogpile on it like every single time a new game comes out but it will be fine like always, it will still be really cool to see a new region and whatever small details they add to the world.
They hired allot of more modders that worked on skyrim so it will be really fun to see what they cook up.
I do hope they stick to their engine since it is really easy to mod and add your own stuff.

Offtopic but is the new Expanse game by owlcat in hopes of having yuri ? i never read the books or a show

>>4489874
P3R actually does have the animation team that redided the P3P cutscene working on it. Until then you can actually use the Kotone Cutscene Project mod from P3P on P3R.
As for P5R.. no. I don't think the fem Joker mod has anything like that going on and the Kasumi mod is even more niche for now. I think it's unrealistic to expect that.

>>4489843

>>4489712
>Seabed
>defining work that has inspired many popular yuri writers across the years.
Why can't I find nothing quite like it then

>>4489970
I just stated how it is. Authors like Hitoma Iruma directly mentioned Seabed as their gateway into writing yuri.

>>4489971
Doesn't Adashima predate it?

>>4489998
Yes, the first published volume of AdaShima released in 2013, while Seabed was released in 2015. However, Iruma did make that statement, so that's that. What exactly he meant by that is up to interpretation I guess. AdaShima 1-3 were definitely very experimental for him and quite different from what he usually wrote. As time went on he got more and more focused on doing yuri works though, so perhaps Seabed was just pushing him more towards that direction.

>>4490011
I see, something like a stronger push for him to really go for it in a major way.

>>4489753
I always imagined Avery in a business suit so that whole noble lady look's going to take some getting used to

>>4490217
There are several sprites to choose from, so try your luck.

Sometimes I wonder if Steam recommendeds are broken. "Oh, 90% of what you play is yuri VNs? Obviously you don't care about that so let's recommend you only stuff from that other 10%"

>>4490473
Those yuri VNs have other tags too that it recommends, it prioritizes newer releases and stuff on sale too (?). And I guess if you already have most of the yuri VNs that could be a thing too

>>4489899
>As for P5R.. no. I don't think the fem Joker mod has anything like that going on and the Kasumi mod is even more niche for now. I think it's unrealistic to expect that.
Understandable, the P5R FeMC mod scene is extremely disjointed. Even if someone wanted to do it there are at least two different fem Joker designs plus Kasumi they would have to choose between.

>>4490566
Regardless of how many thete are, animators this dedicated are not easy to come by. P3P's team was on it for years and are willing to keep going for P3R cause they care about P3.

I've always wondered, is a whiff of yuri (subtext between a couple character, a character being canonically gay even when it doesn't have any weight on the game as a whole) enough to make you buy a $70 game?

>>4490690
Yes and No
If it's a female protag that has a very close associate she spends a great amount of interaction with and there's at least some subtext, and the game is at least decent, I will give it a chance

>>4490690
Just depends on the game. Plenty of people here play non-yuri games after all. We just dont talk about them. Or at least shouldnt.

>>4490690
No, games are entertainment at the end of the day and they have to be atleast somewhat fun to spend that kind of money on imo. But I often give games I might like a chance, not like you can 100% know whether you'll like something or not before giving it a shot.

>>4490690
This is a stupid question with absolutely no point.

>>4490690
Only hard requirements are female protagonist + no forced het for said protagonist. I've been applying these for more than 10 years yet my backlog is still growing, so I don't expect I'll ever drop them. Though actually having yuri in some form will put a game significantly higher on my to-do list.

But considering the size of my backlog nothing can make me buy a $70 game at full price.

>>4490790
It's not for me. A game that has zero direct on screen yuri, but takes place in a yuritopia would be enough for me to take an interest in something. Just the knowledge that yuri is real and normal in that world will satisfy me.

>>4490867
Where does the "only a whiff of yuri" and "$70 game" patronizing come in there? It's very clear that this is not what this question was about.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4069400/Chill_Planet/
Yuri? This reminds me of another PS exclusive yuri game with similar setting, girls travel together in the end of the world, but that game has explicit yuri, not sure about this one.

>>4490901
This game was brought up before. There is no indication it has yuri. The dev apparently never brought up yuri or romance once on their blog about the game.

>>4490901
Seems like it's their first game so can't judge by track record, looks interesting enough to keep up with till release I suppose. Full female cast atleast

I beat P5R with the Rose & Violet Kasumi protag rewrite mod.

While the changes throughout the game were already very good (I appreciate the Shido stuff especially), it's clear that the Royal exclusive content is where Kasumi and Sumire get the most attention. While the writing is a little awkward about it, I honestly marvel at the changes again. Kasumi would have died on that day just like in vanilla if Maruki hadn't used his power to give Sumire a vision of the outcome and make her stop running onto the street. Because Maruki saved Kasumi's life and the sisters had an argument, kasumi went down a different street and that's when she runs into Shido and kickstarts the plot of the main game. This is brilliant, not only because it manages to give a good reason for why Kasumi is around, but it also ties her intrinsically to Maruki, more than Joker ever was, who just felt like an outsider to the whole situation.
Sumire not becoming Kasumi, but getting her personality from Maruki also makes Maruki seem less extreme and more reasonable, which is kinda funny. I honestly agreed with him more than anything so I picked the Maruki ending first. In that one everyone was happy... Ann could be with Shiho and Kasumi could stay with her new family at Leblanc. Sumire wins the international competitions and fulfills the sisters dreams.
Alas, I reloaded my save and got the proper true ending. Seeing Sumire's inferiority complex to Kasumi in full effect is so much better when she is alive. The only thing that has weirdly little impact on the sisters situation is their parents death. Like it never even comes up as a reason to stay in Maruki's reality, even though he literally revived their parents...

In the end after Kasumi smacks some sense into Maruki everything returns to normal with her going to jail and being bailed out. A little sad that the final scene of game is an anime cutscene so you have to ignore Joker in it, but what can ya do.

I didn't remember that Royal edited a White Day date as a follow up to the Valentines date, so that was a pleasant surprise. Kasumi's rizz levels are absolutely crushing. No wonder she got to bang Sae's sister 3 times during the game. Good thing the sisters didn't meet when they both gave her chocolate!

The new Lavenza date they added was really cute and the cops have no power in that attic, so nobody can do anything about it. Still need to get her implied crush scen in NG+ after beating the optional boss fight, but this is close enough to lolicon content as is.

I just barely managed to finish Ohya's Confidant two days before the end of the game. That was pretty funny. Also all the giri chocolate could get Kasumi through another year.

Also I adore that redrawn pic with Kasumi and her pet cat. It's the best.

As for the final Sumire stuff, it's so gay that it would be hard to deny incest allegations in court.

>>4490988
Honestly it's already lucky how many in-engine cutscenes there that made it easy to just replace the model.

I've been replaying Kindred Spirits on the Roof lately and I've been surprised by how many early hints of Yuna/Hina there are, actually. I remember thinking it was sort of sudden and that I preferred Ano/Yuna (I think I still do really) but I'm way more into the ship than I was back then.

>>4491192
Is it really a ship if it's confirmed?

Also man I still have way too much of the post game to read and the audio DLC

>>4491193
ship is short of relationship, even if it's canon it's still a ship, imo

I regret buying Blood Lily Ghost stories....the game was like a demo for a better game
It's possibly one of the dumbest yuri stories I've read too....

>>4490983
Well, to a degree. The sort of implied crush from Lavenza is hidden behind new game+ and beating the optional boss there. This date that happens even on the first playthrough is also the result of going on every single hangout with the twins beforehand, so it's a lot of work.
Still I guess that technically means there is some implied lolihag ship.

>>4491192
It was always there, but Yuna genuinely acted more like Hina's platonic mom and Hina is about as expressive as a stool, so there was just no chemistry. Ano was the correct option.

>>4491197
Should've just checked Tvtropes and discovered the entire series is one of "everybody sucks or gets horribly murdered" types of RPG Maker horror schlock. Having a few yuri-friendly alternative timeline entries doesn't matter when the main games have one girl become a monster and the other murdered by a psycho boyfriend.

>>4491209
>tvtropes
Actual clown.

>>4491209
It's neither.
I'll spoil it basically it's about a lesbian who was a part of an occult club and got upset that a girl she liked led her on only to be in a het relationship. she kills herself and tries to take revenge as a ghost only to get thwarted by anti-evil charms. she doesn't want to admit that she's evil but she is.

she possesses your character and she tries to conduct her revenge at the club's modern members only for them to be like "yeah we understand where you're coming from and my mom was actually the girl you were jealous of and she named me after you so you were never forgotten. Then they end up deciding to share the body equally and live happily ever after.
The entire game takes place in two rooms, lasts for maybe an hour if that. The only time that the game even utilizes the engine that it's built in is to show you cutscenes of things that don't happen in that game, or when you move your character about 5 ft to talk to your two friends in the room in between stories and pick up books from the shelf.
Apparently it's part of some bigger universe of games.

>>4491216
You didn't understood. It's part of Psychical Exorcism Series. I'm just going to paste spoilers.
>Ghost stories: The bad ending has Sally and Lily exorcise Nead with Prince's warding sachet, but this causes Miss Choker to remove Azura's spirit, hospitalizing her. The stinger indicates that this ending will lead to the events of Case 03: True Cannibal Boy.
>Bloody Lily Loop, the pervious game of the sub-series: Sally canonically breaks the time loop and chooses to go back to her college years to properly befriend Lily, since these events will lead to Case 03: True Cannibal Boy. Where Sally will become an undead and Sally's boyfriend turned into a yandere in the pervious Case game will kill Lily.

>>4491219
I mean yeah when I bought it I didn't realize ot was part of a series but when I did realize that at the end of the game, I still felt very disappointed. Not only was the story really short and not really that good either, the actual gameplay was literally just walking around a corner, talking to people and then picking up a book. It could have been made in renpy or even released as like a separate PDF available for purchase.
It seems like the other ones in the series at least have some stuff to make them stand out whether it be combat or at least occasionally interacting with the environment....

>>4491223
It literally says it's part of a series on the store page. This is on you anon.

>>4491250
Sure but it doesn't take away from how short the experience was altogether and how little the game used RPG maker itself. I don't get why the game wasn't a VN.

Tvtropes is easily one of the most hilariously inexact sources of information out there, to the point where some articles legit read like fanfiction.
On top of that they're very censorship happy; the articles removed most of the criticism towards the work they're talking about and there are events like deleting Looking up to Magical Girls because a mod doesn't like the manga.

Tvtropes is basically the freest and dumbest version of Wikipedia, but it's clearly Western and it shows in the number of retarded people in the articles who can't accept that underage fictional characters can be hot or do something they don't like (like good crybabies or YouTubers), such as treating romance in Happy Sugar Life as a disturbing fact or pretending there's nothing romantic in UzaMaid or directly ignoring any kind of yuri, subtext or mere shipping in the Neptunia games (but glorifying terrible self-insertion fics).

>>4490933
did they keep the sumire/PC showtime attack for this mod?

>>4491764
She uses "goushoujin-sama" which is more like "master", but that was historically used for a wife addressing her husband in ancient Japan. This says more about how messed up old Japan was.
The more neutral translation tends to use "darling". That being said, Tamamo is obssessed with being a wife, so it wouldnt be unusual for her to use huband regardless of who her partner is. She does completely acknowledger Hakunon as a girl though.
> the dialogue line about turning her into a man
You got that wrong. Tamamo said SHE could turn into a man, because she is a shapeshifter. That would be the opposite. And she just said that in case Hakunon prefers guys she could acoomodate her.

>>4491768
They did. Too bad you unlock that so late into the game that it is rare to ever come up.

I don't know what Tamamo says in the original Japanese, but the translation doesn't mention anything about turning anyone into a man.

File: 19865494ß4.jpg (184 KB, 850x1280)

184 KB JPG

>>4491930
This exchange never once implied anything about turning Hakunon into a man to begin with. No, Tamamo is implying she will change herself to appeal more to a female Master's preferences and then does the equivalent of the "Just close your eyes and think of England" meme. Most people interpreted that as her growing a dick for intimate moments or outright turning into a man (both things that are not at all unheard of in the Fate franchise).
Obviously she does not explicitely say that, so you are free to interpret anything else into that dialogue. This is an early interaction too, so this is before Tamamo is really serious about Hakunon. She is still in her "gotta appeal to my Master as much as possible" mode. This is Tamamo in the "absolutely don't want to be hated" stage. Seduction is easier with male Masters as she says, but she is still confident she can win over a female Master.

>>4491930

>content starved
I highly doubt that at this point. Fate/Extra is just a classic that's worth playing. Maybe the remake will be as well.

The commercial failure of Crymachina and Samurai Maiden pretty much killed any chance of yuri games that aren't VNs or RPG Maker projects.
Which is pretty unsurprising given how, as an oneesan put it several threads ago
>no one buys games full priced.

To be fair there are games like the Horizon series or The Last of Us series, but those take several years to come out and have a mass appeal focus rather than just a lesbian focus.

I am going on a nomnomnami marathon so I can prepare myself for Syrup 2 RPG (because it has a lot of cameos apparently).
The first one I played is Princess Poffin and the Spider Invasion, but there isn't much to talk about. It's a 20 minute pixel art walking game with some funny dialogue. If I had to say anything memorable about it, it's Poffin the moth princess befriending the spider princess who was trying to invade their kingdom to get some moonlight. It's cute, but not full on yuri.

So instead I will start with Contract Demon. It's the exact opposite of Poffin, in that it is very explicitely gay and that's the whole focus. Eleni the angel and Kamilla the demon start a contract of friendship and things just get weirder from there. I think it's very charming and while the characters don't mind being lewd, it's really more about romance. It's just around an hour long, so it is pretty light cuisine. Kamilla and Eleni are really setting up some of the world though. Witches and demons are a super common theme in nomnomnami games.

Honestly, I should probably have started with Syrup 1, considering what I am doing this for and it being one of nomnomnami's first games, but the order isn't that important yet.

So Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet. Most people probably know it's just a yuri subtext game, but it's actually fairly direct with its subtext. Butterscotch the witch has a very obvious crush on Syrup and Syrup herself repeatedly acknowledges that Gumdrop was created to be her "type". It's another short game with many endings, nami's signature style. Syrup is an unusually anti-social protag for this writer, but her opening up to others is rather the point.
It continues (or starts?) the trend of supportive male side-characters that don't threaten the yuri with Pastille (like Olog in Contract Demon who is Kamilla's asexual brother). He is gay.

Honestly Gumdrop is sort of the main heroine everything revolves around, but I weirdly don't feel that way about her. Butterscotch stands out much more to me. Every ending tends to acknowledge how the witch feels about the outcome too which is weird.
Gotta love that there is just an ending where Syrup straight up adopts Toffee the catperson familar without Butterscotch's consent. It's super random.

There is a long running comic series made by nami that revolves around this game's cast which also eventually involved her othe game's characters. I guess that was the basis for Syrup 2.

>>4491960
>The commercial failure of Crymachina
Didn't that sell over 100k? That's huge for an indie game.
Of course it's not AAA game numbers, but AAA studios would never make a yuri-only game to begin with, so indies is where our chances are, they just need to stop making glorified minigames and commit to serious projects already.

Remember what I said about replying to the samefagging attempts. Hold fast nee-sans.

>>4492000
I didn't even consider that this was subtext. It was just that on the nose

>>4492033
It's probably a pedestrian take, but this is my 2nd of hers (played syrup first) but this is my favorite

>>4492037
I suppose I should be clear by what I mean with subtext. It's not really so much subtext that Syrup and Butterscotch are into women, but the game avoids outright stating it or showing any of the relationships become explicitely romantic.
Is it obvious that in the Gumdrop ending where they travel the world together while holding hands to have time to "get to know each other" those two are dating? Sure. Is it obvious that Syrup wouldnt just randomly start hanging out at Butterscotch's place and teach her all her secrets if she wasn't banging her on the side? Sure. But the game does allow plausible deniability, which is not true for 99% of all following nomnomnami titles.
Also from what little I remember from the Syrup 2 demo, it does not follow any of the first game's endings, instead just generally acknowledging its plot points.

>>4492039
Did you play the rest of her catalogue too? If we are just talking about Syrup and her tears, then I wholeheartedly agree. her tears is a steep improvement.
Even if we considered all of nami's works, her tears is still a clear standout too. She is at her best when her writing goes slightly philosophical imo. I still wouldnt call this my favorite though, that one is still to come in my marathon.

>>4492043
>just generally acknowledging its plot points.
Considering it's multi ending that tracks
>Did you play the rest of her catalogue too?
Just those 2 and contract demon. I think you recommended bad end theater so I need to do that still

>>4492033
>Time and Space also appear in nami's webcomics sometimes
yes, and space is confirmed transgender in there

>>4492046
>I think you recommended bad end theater so I need to do that still
I very much do recommend that, indeed.
I hope as my marathon goes on I may be able to interest more people in the whole wacky namiverse (well not the whole whole, there are some off-topic games on that list).

>>4492047
Different continuity, different lore as it were.

>>4492049
>Different continuity, different lore as it were
I saw something similar with a yuri artist I like, where one of her prints was about two women growing up getting married, and growing old together; only to find out when asked on Tumblr about it if one of them was trans she said yes and these people do such a terrible job conveying that (they look like women and not men in costumes nor is it said in the description on her store) it's ignorable

>>4492033
Next is Kaima, an RPGmaker game. nami cranked out a lot of these on the side. Maybe she is more known for visual novels, but she was just as much into RPGmaker games, which makes Syrup 2 RPG not really that out of her comfort zone.

Anyway kaima is a short game about a dying world. You play the demon girl Searina trying to escape the world eaters and stop who caused the destructions, which seems to be the world's prince, Vido. Along the way she meets Illi, a crying girl who laments her dead lover, the princess Ezel.
Being so short there is not much to talk about. You can do a couple of side-quests to gain exp to make the final boss more managable and your endings depend on some of your choices. I think there is no actual way to beat the game if you let Illi die instead of taking her into your party. The main twist is kind of predictable, but lets just say some of your options are doomed yuri or yuri dooming. It will make sense if you play it! Of course there is a happy True End too.

Considering this was made in 2 months, it is very impressive. Especially for how much art this 30 minute game has. I did not manage to get all 6 endings... Only 4. I honestl have no idea how to get the last 2, but I don't feel like there is anything I really missed out on.

Next is Spooky Soiree, featuring Marzipan the witch. This was a game jam entry, like a lot of nomnomnami's short projects. It is also the first game that had some crossover quality outside of one minor cameo before.

Marz gets dragged to a party by her catgirl friend Jam with the explicit purpose to get her first kiss on that party. Marz is not exactly picky and is fine with pretty much anyone as long as she can fulfill her goal. That's where the mixed results come in. nami is overwhelmingly focused on yuri, sure, but she has a strong appreciation for all feminine aesthetics, which includes traps etc. At least she likes to include a more diverse cast in some of her works, from lesbians, to bisluts to gay dudes etc.

With this being a short mixer game about convincing someone to kiss her, Marz can go around and hit on pretty much anyone, which unfortunately includes dudes. She is pansexual after all. The good news is that there is nothing locked behind getting all endings this time, so you can skip the undesirables.

While smooching Poffin the moth princess (who makes her first appearance here actually) or the zombie witch who astral projects her soul out of her body is pretty cute, it is clear that all the kisses are very superficial. It's just a goal to reach. But the true narrative of the game is pretty obvious when you get some endings or mess around. Jam, the best friend playing wingwoman, clearly has a crush on Marz. So her ending can only be obtained by Marz constantly fucking up or refusing all other possible partners till she is alone with Jam and they finally confess their feelings to each other. So while the other kisses have some attraction behind them, Jam and Marz are actually in love with each other and didn't admit it to themselves.
I especially like how Jam's doggirl friend feels extremely guilty about stealing Jam's "girlfriend" if she finds out who Marzipan is.

This game has a Kamilla/Eleni cameo, which was quite cute.

>>4492008
Not sure. But for A-AA stuff. As long as it makes a decent profit, the studio should be happy. AAA is a different ball park, because execs want multiple millions of sales

>>4491964
>nomnomnami
I forgot about nomnomnami. She made bad end theater which got popular for a bit.

>>4492008
In reality, several factors have to be considered; it's not simply the number of sales, but how much money was invested. So basically, the profit has to far exceed the invested value. That's why AAA companies tend to fail more easily; the amount invested far exceeds the profit.

>>4492008
1. Crymachina isn't an indie game; it's not even a B game due having good production values.
2. 100k is bad for a game with such a budget. FuRyu paraded the 100k number simply as a way to generate positive word of mouth, only to go completely silent after that.

But at least FuRyu is still alive. Shade (the people behind Samurai Maiden) went bankrupt, that game being their last project.

Anons I have a few questions. I noticed that Blue Reflection isn't on the list of recommendations, is it bad?
And is it possible to use yuri mods on a steam deck?

Blue Reflection doesn't have yuri. Second Light is the game with the yuri content. The list isn't trying to be a comprehensive guide to all yuri games. It's an introduction.
Using mods on steamdeck is possible, after all it's just a less capable computer. But you will have to follow a guide.

>>4492492

>>4492493
Okay thank you! I'm looking to buy some stuff before my trip and I wanted something a bit better than hella yuris list is all. I bought a steam deck for the trip but I've never tried modding it before. I will though. I appreciate the help!

>>4492500
Well Hella Yuri is actually trying to be a comprehensive listing of ALL yuri games on Steam, so of course it has a lot of crap on it. Just know that the list in OP is not the be all end all. I'm fully aware of how many good yuri games it skipped, but there was an attempt to at least give every genre a little bit to work with, so some lesser yuri focused games got added for the sake of variety.

As for the Steamdeck modding, you want to use desktop mode on the deck and download the mod files like normal from Nexus or wherever and just put them into the game folder like you would with most mods on your PC. This may not work perfectly for mods that require an external mod launcher, but you will have to test that yourself. Always read the mod installation description on any mod you are interested in.

>>4492521
Of course. I respect both lists a lot they're both very helpful but I just wanted to make sure the game was good in case I wanted to get it soon. I hopefully can get some of the Skyrim and fallout 3/nv stuff to work too along with the persona 5 stuff

>>4492528
BR Second Light is pretty well liked by yuri fans. It's just that that whole franchise killed itself with bad decisions right after, so you should play it standalone.
>I hopefully can get some of the Skyrim and fallout 3/nv stuff to work too along with the persona 5 stuff
Skyrim, huh? Not too much good stuff for that in regards to yuri. If you want a super modded Fallout then 3 is the least relevant. Fallout 2, NV and 4 have all the good mods.
As for Persona 5, you absolutely need to use Reloaded II to hook mods to the game. It's a bit tricky, but it can be done.
https://gamerinsightrealm.wordpress.com/2025/04/27/how-to-set-up-reloaded-ii-on-steam-deck/

>>4492529
I was tempted to do fallout 4 but the new patch apparently killed all mods for it and I fear that they won't be updated in time for my trip in December.
I might try out some of the Neverwinter and baldurs Gate 1&2 mods then too. I love the yuri modding scene a lot, just hope that those run okay on deck

>>4492262
drowning, drowning is another short RPGmaker game nami made while working on other stuff. This one is similar to Syrup 1 in that it is not outrught explicit yuri. There are kisses and subtext at least.

Maia meets a fish girl thingy at the beach and is invited to visit the underwater city. Making her able to breathe water via a kiss. The city is full of weird fish people and you can have fun with the citizens. Then Am takes Maia to meet her friend Clio who is a tsundere and they all visit Eudora, who owns a palace, but is not a princess.

The game is mostly about how Maia desperately wants to stay in this underwater city, because she doesn't want to live on the surface anymore. The game is never quite explicit as to why, but it seems she is being ostracized by the humans on the surface. She is not good at expressing emotions and probably really weirded everyone out.
The citizens of the deep are super nice and welcoming though and she really would rather stay here.

I think this game will hit really hard for those who feel like they have no place to belong or those who can't express their feelings well. Am and Clio are sweet and care a lot about Maia despite just meeting. Both get a kiss in, though it's as I said for plot reasons. There is some subtext though.

I found this one especially charming. Short but sweet, the nomnomnami experience.

>>4492542
I don't think nomnomnami knows what subtext is

>>4492719
Those kisses are clearly very subtextual.

>>4493109

>>4493112
Yeah of course. I'm just looking at the fanatical sale right now and there's a good discount on the portable game it's like $8

>>4493113
then I suppose Portable is your go-to, though the mod is just taking stuff from Door-kun romance options and giving them to feMC

>>4493112
>>4493116
I hate half-informed posts like this. Vanilla P3P already has yuri. Just have to settle for Aigis. If you go for her there is no other yuri potential needed. So it is not remotely comparable to P3R which can only be yuri with extensive modding.
And there is more than one yuri enhancing mod for P3P. Elizabeth uncensor just restores the second yuri romance that was already in the Japanese version, so that isn't copying anything from male protag.

Here is your obligatory shill for Witch & Lilies. Sadly they didn't update anything in the meantime. Yesterday was my birthday so I included a Steam Code worth 30€ in the picture. First come first serve. Though it'd make me happy if the first person claiming it would buy the game but I know the risks. It also may be the first to get it already has the game. Any yuri game instead would be fine too. But I don't really care either way. Just spreading the word is fun too.

>>4493758
I bought the game at launch and only lightly dug into it. What have they added since?

>>4493759
Since the last update on 28.04.2025 (Version 0.4.1) they added more dungeon conversations.

>A large number of new “Dungeon Conversations” have been added.
Each of the 20 personality types now has 180 patterns (60 opening lines, 60 responses, and 60 follow-up reactions), for a total of 3,600 new patterns. Some conversations are exclusive to pairs in a partner or romantic relationship.
From light banter to flirtatious dialogues that feel as if they’ve forgotten they’re in a dungeon, a wide variety of combinations are now possible.

However I can't provide examples yet because I couldn't touch the game again after they fixed the displeasure mechanic and those pixels now look very jealous. However I think I found a way to cheat the system. Still don't know if I should restart with 4 Necromancers and 1 Knight or 1 Necromancer and 4 Knights.

That's pretty neat honestly. That begs the question, what's lacking in your view ms. birthday shill?

is the latest rune factory game any good or would i be better off playing 4 with a patch?

>>4493816
A button to turn the random dates off. I can't bear to watch those jealous reactions. Or why I don't play the game with that combo right now? Time and skill. The obsession to draw them and lack of skill hinder progress. Also I get easily distracted and work consumes too much energy as is.

>>4493818
Guardians of Azuma is supposed to be really good, and unless the anon who's been working on her patch has cracked the bath house problem in 4 I'd say go for GoA. I'm probably gonna grab it during this sale.

>>4493816
Not the birthday girl, but I just wish they'd add the new classes sometime. I could take it being otherwise abandoned if there was a sovereign-like class so we can have princess yuri.

>>4493962
It looks good but I was torn because a lot of the comments talked about how it was dumbed down. I'll probably get it too then thanks

>>4493973
I don't know if I'd call it dumbed down, it does have some interesting relationship mechanics, what it doesn't have are the classic RF mechanics you might be used to. It's kind of like "why would I play this game over any of the dozens of other farm sims?" It has interesting characters and possible yuri couples, and it's fairly well polished compared to all the indie EA titles out there, but it's still a question worth asking yourself.

¿Por qué no los dos? GoA and RF4S are very different games.

>...a lot of the comments talked about how it was dumbed down.
"Dumbed down" is a very heavy-handed term here, and one that I'd argue is only correct on technicalities. GoA is still a hefty game that has a lot of detail to it. I do agree that its romance scenarios are a bit more simplistic than they were in 4S, but GoA trades this for more features and an overall experience that feels more... perhaps "modern" would be an apt descriptor?

That said, >>4493985 is more or less correct. GoA is advertised as a spin-off and very much feels like one. If you're looking to compare GoA to a mainstream RF title, I'd probably argue that 5 is probably closer in feel to it than 4S is (though 5 has a certain reputation for being lackluster).

>>4493962
>...and unless the anon who's been working on her patch has cracked the bath house problem in 4...
I released FFF earlier this year. It has compatibility with a base mod that breaks the confession gender checks and allows a "proper" female protagonist to date bachelorettes while still retaining access to the bathhouse and bachelorette sleepovers. Have a look if you are interested.

Thank you

>>4494025
>the farming and stuff was super simplified in comparison to others
Oh, that part is kind of true because the focus is way more on building up villages to do the farming for you while you fight monsters and date girls. You can still farm yourself, but I have no idea if the soil quality autism etc is still there.

>>4492542
This one took me a while, because Lonely Wolf Treat is actually a series that has been going on for almost 10 years. It's more or less what you could call nomnomnami's flagship series. RPGmaker again, but there is only a single battle in the entire 10 hour experience which ends in one hit lol

It's hard to summarize in one post, but this is definitely a very intricate and emotional story about people trying to go beyond convention and follow their own path to happiness, even in the face of racism and tradition.
I am usually not a fan of polyamory, but this is one of the few times where it really works. The way the game takes its time to set up Treat, Mochi and Moxie really helps ease you into it. I still think the jump from Treat being into Moxie might be a littel jarring, but at least Moxie is such a hopeless lesbian that constantly fantasizes about making out with girls that it didn't surprise me in her case. Despite being a fox she is really into pussies (sorry). Though Mox always looked like a cat to me anyway.

Yes, two chapters focus on Trick who is "non-binary", but she goes to the female bath, so we know she is physically a woman. And she isnt romantically involved with anyone anyway. Her travels are actually really interesting and she is a good character too.

Treat really is a series that is like connective tissue to the rest of the universe. You can constantly see cameos of other nami games and couples. Eleni actually lived in the rabbit town when she summoned Kamilla and this is also what introduced the versions of Time and Space as witches who are cosplaying the characters from "her tears were my light", which is hilarious. Basically all the characters that arent originally from the Treat universe get reused as witches.

The game is still not finished. The final part of chapter 8 will be released soon, putting and end to this 10 year project. In the meantime there were lots of comics (even some 18+ ones) and even a dating sim spin-off.

>>4494118
PS: The fact that Butterscoth made the candy named after her implies that the Buttersotch ending was considered canon for a while at least. I am not coping!

>>4493818
For a side rf game that’s trying out new mechanics such as the village system and fp-raising hangouts (cute but often superficial 5 seconds cutscenes), GoA was quite enjoyable. My only gripes were having the last few romances come towards the end of the story whilst the bulk is shotgun-introduced in first 20%, and how many dungeon bosses were put back-to-back in the last third. It’s a lot of combat
The girl I was most excited for came last and after I had done most of the side content and romances

Date Treat. A collection of small April Fool's scenarios with the Lonely Wolf Treat cast. Mostly the character you play changes based on the choices. Most them turn out to be silly, but there are some real horny ones between the main poly gang.

I guess I'm not opposed to the gameplay. From what I've seen it looks fun. Is the yuri in it not very good then or is it just that you have to play a lot to get to the content?

>>4494949
Anon, it's a damn roguelite action game. 90% of what you will be doing is battle. Talking to NPCs and doing side-quests is obviously a small part of the game.

>>4494966
NTA but I don't get this response. This is the yuri board, of course Anon wants to know how the yuri is, even if makes up a relatively small portion of the game's playtime.

>>4494977
I'm not saying the yuri is irrelevant. If it didn't have any it would be off-topic. It's just that with certain genres you need to lower your expectation on the romance aspect. Like yeah, Nemesis is amazing, but her questline will be 5% of your playtime probably.
The point I'm trying to make is that you can only really enjoy this game if you already like action roguelites. The yuri will not make up for it if you don't.

played this VN, i really enjoyed it

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4122860/ZATO__I_Love_the_World_and_Everything_In_It/

the characters are cute and charming and the yuri is there, though i will warn it's not the overriding focus.

the art and the music is really good, and i generally liked the writing with a couple of exceptions. i wish there were more interactions between ira and asya, and the third act felt very rushed and abrupt. if this game was an rpg or a full fledged adventure game with twice the run time it would really kick ass.

>>4494988
I think Asya, Ira, and Marina are all victims of some sort of Soviet mind control experiment, the pills they issue to the people, sound exactly like effect of anti-depressant pill, make you dumber but calm. Does anyone know what "codes" mean though, all three girls can read codes apparently, but the codes are making them mentally unstable, so my theory is it's something like MKUltra.

>>4494991
IIRC Marina's brother talks about the codes and the numbers as if they're part of the fabric of the world, the line of causality, etc. It might be a meta thing referring to the code itself of the game. The game is definitely going for a Strugatsky Brothers/Philip K. Dick/Speculative Fiction bent, but I think it does fumble it somewhat towards the end with that rushed ending. If it delved more into the backstory behind the town and gradually depicted the descent towards the ending it would have been a lot cooler IMO. As a full fledged RPG it would have kicked ass.

Asya and Ira are still cute as hell though. I wish their relationship had more episodes.

I appreciate that thanks anon, I'll probably get it and try it out.

I bought the 18+ patches from denpasoft after a very embarrassing conversation with my bank about trying to buy dlc for a "Japanese game I couldn't pronounce" I wanna die

>>4495238
This is some kinda dystopia. Since when do you gotta talk to your bank to buy things? Either the seller accepts your card or they don't. I thought the whole shitty thing about the UK law is that you need to identify yourself and prove your age?

Finally we arrive at my favorite nomnomnami game: Bad End Theater. This is probably her most mainstream and well known release with over 3k+ reviews on Steam. It got noticed by several bigger streamers/Lets Players back when it released (which was in the middle of the covid shutdowns and quarantine at that). It certainly feels like the game with the most general appeal. It's also completely standalone, so you don't need to know any lore from the namiverse.

The game is already in the OP's recommendation list, so I don't have much to add. Overlord x Maiden is cute and canon. I especially love the possessive Overlord ending. Every time a streamer reaches that they immediately declare it the Good Ending.
But what hits the hardest is the true ending which you get after collecting all bad endings. That one is specifically for the lesbians and hits weirdly hard, despite being so simplistic.

As I consider this nami's magnum opus, I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who likes yuri games and doesn't get too frustrated from intertwined choice trees.

>>4495242
My card was denied because the bank thought the transaction was suspicious and I had to call them to tell them that I was trying to purchase the dlc. Thank God the transaction didn't actually say denpasoft but I feel like a pervert

>>4495267
Your bank is garbage. This shouldn't even be a possibility. Also none of their fucking business, so don't care about what these morons think.

>>4495269
>This shouldn't even be a possibility
Is this your first time learning about banks blocking suspicious transactions or what?

>>4495274
There is nothing suspicious about a public digital seller. They don't get to decide what is "suspicious" unless it openly breaks the law. This nonsense wouldnt happen if you withdrew money and physically bought something with it, so the same must apply to card transactions. The fact that certain credit card companies are abusing power like this is a travesty if anything.
This is why I use third party methods between the bank and my purchases.

>>4495276
And I'm sure you'll say the same when your card is stolen and it's used to buy a bunch of steam keys too right? After all, there is nothing suspicious there too either.

>>4495285
>when your card is stolen and it's used to buy a bunch of steam keys too right? After all, there is nothing suspicious there too
Correct. If my card was stolen and someone bought a bunch of bread to eat it would be no different. No outsider gets to decide which of my purchases are ""suspicious"". Maybe I really got into gambling with Steam keys. None of my bank's fucking business. If my card was stolen then I report it and they will lock it on my behest.

The only bank set barrier that is remotely acceptable is illegal purchases... or if you have established a withdrawal limit, the attempt to withdraw more money than in the contract. Nothing else qualifies. If the bank refuses to cooperate with certain sites or markets then they have to establish this beforehand and justify it with legalese.

>>4495287
>>4495276
>>4495269
Thank you libertarians for never letting us forget how fucking dumb you lot are.

>>4495288
>basic logic about how banks work pretty much anywhere except the US and UK = libertarian
Are you fucking stupid? It's normal for a bank not to decide what you can purchase on random whims. That's not their job. Such stipulations have to be made in the contract and also should not be willy-nilly like this.
Are you fucktard one of those morons who think Visa and Mastercard are in the right for stopping people from buying adult games? The very shit that got a bunch of yuri games blocked recently?
Your brain damage is impressive, but this is not the place to display it.

>>4495287
>illegal purchases
The problem is that this is defined by people that don't have your best interests in mind.

>>4495291
True enough, the law is influenced by lobbies and "interest groups" who manipulate things. There is still a legal basis here regardless, which a lot of these banks are ignoring.

>>4495292
Ah, a troll. I should have figured.

>>4495245
Where's that last pic from? It's not in the game, I'm pretty sure.

>>4495287
>>4495289
You're right actually. You should be allowed random purchasing patterns with the stipulation that you eat any losses incurred pre-report.
Banks shouldn't need to protect people from the consequences of their own actions.

>>4495310
Whose business is it what "patterns" my purchases make? If I buy a surfboard with a design of MadoHomu making out on it one day and sixty crates of truffles the next, why does anybody need to start questioning this? It's my money and it's not illegal to purchase either.
Nobody is being protected by invasive algorythms and data collection and interventions from uninvolved third parties. Banks are notorious for gambling with the money of their customers and had to be bailed out by governments repeatedly for it. Making the tax payer save the banks that wasted their money. The least these morons can do is not tell me how to spend my own money, unless they are bound by law to prevent illegal activity. If anybody should be regulated more it's the banks themselves so they stop gambling with real estate bubbles which make housing unaffordable to everyone.

I never trust an idiot who is on the side of bankers or thinks that they have your best interest in mind. And credit card companies have way too much power as is. I despise crypto-garbage, but eventually people will be pushed towards that when even using paypal or other services like that doesn't enable you to buy what you want anymore.
It's insane that yuri game makers are being pushed down by this shit and people would still defend it.

>>4495310
NTA, but what consequences are there to buying a yuri game, adult or otherwise? Banks should protect people from the consequences of the bank's actions.

>>4495301
>gets btfo
What? NTA but I have been following this discussion and there wasn't anything "btfo"-worthy in the last one.
In the first sentence you confirm that you are in fact a moron because you are fine with a third-party parenting your every action.
The second and third one are just ad hominem sprinkled with a childish mentality of "you are wrong because I said so".
Where is the legit push-back? Where is your opinion on why a third-party should be allowed to decide if you can or cannot buy a certain kind of yuri? How censorship and surveillance and parenting of adults are necessary in the name of protecting children?
Hopefully, you are not someone that is against the tight grip of the CCP or you might contradict yourself.

>>4495317
>a certain kind of yuri
Or, indeed, any kind of yuri. It's fictional. If you don't do what the Rourouni Kenshin artist did you don't break any laws and thus no bank should intervene

Sad to say that persona 5 mods don't seem to work for steam deck....

>>4495657
Running Reload II on Steamdeck is pretty complicated, but not impossible. If it's too much of a pain tho, I guess you'll just have to play it at home then.

>>4495661
I can get reloaded II to work but the game doesn't launch from reload II when you hit launch and when you try to just run it from steam it doesn't load the mods. I added the kasumi protagonist mod, the rose and violet mod and the add-ons for both but loading up a new save spawns me as joker in the middle of the default campaign.
On the guide for steam deck, one of the most recent comments says that its broken and the persona modding discord has other people complaining that it doesn't work on steam deck.

It's unfortunately broken

Have you tried linking the application through Reload II? I had the issue a couple of times that the link between Reload II and Steam broke and I had to reestablish where the application file was.
I dunno if it looks the same on Steamdeck, but pic related is what I am talking about.

Said franchise's constant shilling on these threads say otherwise

>>4495686
Let me guess, you are the retard who posted the doujin? Trying to start your own shitty argument?
Regardless of what kind of troll you are, let's quickly defuse this nonsense and be done with it:
1. Atelier almost never comes up in these threads at all. It hasnt been mentioned in like 3-4 threads straight before this.
2. Every time it comes up it's someone asking about if there is any yuri in X Atelier game and everybody saying no. Otherwise it's just people musing about its wasted potential.
3. Even if your bait applied to reality at all, some people occasionally shilling an Atelier thing is not even close to making it a "core yuri franchise" for these threads.

Your bait failed on every level, Q.E.D. The topic is over.

>>4495683
I'll double check that it's still linked in a few minutes and get back to you. I think it is, I linked it when I first booted up the program. But it might have broken too.

>>4495693
Even if it shows the right path, just link it again. That's what helped me before (althought that was on my computer, not a steamdeck).
I'm more of a mod player than a mod troubleshooter, so it's probably not gonna help. If the mod discord has people saying its broken then that's probably true.

>>4495695
Even after relinking it, the console pops up, validates everything and Acts like it's gonna launch the game only to do nothing. It just seems to be broken on deck right now, which is unfortunate since I was gonna play it on my upcoming flight.

Yeah I guess you're right. Thanks for trying to help though I appreciate it!
I did get the new rune factory game too so it's not a complete loss and maybe I can get some other mods on the list that don't require reload II to work before I head in two weeks.

>>4495696
>the console pops up, validates everything and Acts like it's gonna launch the game only to do nothing.
Does it show an error in another window?

>>4495711
It doesn't as far as I can tell. The console doesn't display any errors either. It just says that its loaded then it closes out of the console and nothing happens.

>>4495635
I wouldn't consider it a core yuri franchise, but there are obviously some games that appeal to the yuri crowd.

>>4495691
It's not a doujin. It's an official ASMR based on a Drama CD.

>any yuri in X Atelier game and everybody saying no
Some of the Atelier games do have yuri.

>>4495714
How desperate are you? Give it up already. You can neither pretend that anybody is stupid enough to think Atelier has yuri nor can you deny the reality that it doesn't. There is not a single title in the entire series with textual, explicit yuri and everybody knows it.
Now shut up and get back in your lane.

>>4495716

>>4495717
Not yuri.

File: totomimi.png (756 KB, 1172x662)

>>4495716
There's definitely yuri, but it's limited to two games, Meruru and Lulua. Anything else from Atelier isn't worth mentioning. Even Totori barely had yuri and Totomimi wasn't a thing until Meruru. Sophie was a dissapointment and Ryza/Yumia are waifu slop games.

>>4495718
>girls being romantically involved isn't yuri

>>4495719
There is no explicit romance or confirmation of any relationship in any of these games. You just posted a voice actor commentary... an entirely subjective thing.

>>4495720
There is no such thing. I will not waste a single post on you beyond this. Go to the archives to get your ass torn by past elaborations.

>>4495721
Just as we can see that Rorona and Sterk are together, we can see that Totori and Mimi are also romantically involved.

>>4495722
Wrong. The only romantic relationships ever confirmed in Atelier games are het. Yuri never gets confimed. Subtext is irrelevant, headcanons don't count. Accept reality.

>>4495724
She gives a love charm to Totori in her ending.

>subtext is irrelevant
That's subjective distinction on your part though, one that you don't even rigorously hold. Clearly you would dislike a couple if there was subtext about them fucking guys on the side. If it applies in one direction, it has to apply in the other

File: rost.png (521 KB, 431x688)

521 KB PNG

>>4495724
The fact that you think this just proves you never actually played the games. There's no canon het in Atelier other than the parents. Sterk and Rorona have even less subtext than Totomimi and all the japs agree they're basically together. There's even a canon yuri version of Sterk and Rorona in an alternate universe in the mobile game. You're just seeing what you want to see.

>>4495728
>b-b-but you hate bisluts, so there!
The dumbest argument I ever heard.

>>4495753
>there is no confirmed het lol
There are dozens of het parents in the games. And you clearly did not play Ryza 3. What a dumbass.
>alternate universe version of a het couple
Gee, I wonder what this says about the canonical status of the het couple? Also fuck off with the gacha. That doesn't count.
>but all the japs agreeee
The waifufags, the biggest part of the Atelier fandom, don't. And just because many people share a headcanon doesn't make it actually canon. NanoFate are considered married by nearly all the fans and by their own VAs, but they are not officially confirmed to be dating at all. And NanoFate is a million times more supported than anything in Atelier games.

You argued that subtext doesn't ever matter, but it clearly does matter in some instances. The actual example is irrelevant unless you're willing to discard all subtext. Take for example: if there was subtext that there relationship was just a phase and would soon break up after the story ended.

It's out now. Seems to be pretty good, although they vaguely say they incorporated AI in their art, so if that's a no-go for some anons this VN aint for them.

>>4495894
Most of the bigger modders are working on theirs. The update was so horrendous that it even broke the DLCs people owned, so I would give it a bit more time.

>>4495969
So they can play a game that just doesn't say it instead.

>>4495969
>incorporated AI in their art
That's a funny way to put "every CG is AI sloppa we edited minimally". Don't pay for it.

>>4495981
There is no actual grounds to tell. Also retard, more goes into a game than just art. I know you never actually buy games anyway, you just find excuses not to, but if a game uses public sound effects or music, dlyou would conelsequently have to say the same. Or if any preexisting assets are used for unity games. Or if an RPGmaker game uses sprite packs and tiles.
You get the idea. People who arent poor and want to actually pay devs would not say shit this stupid about any of those cases.

>>4495998
>People who arent poor and want to actually pay devs
So that excludes /u/.

As an anon put it so eloquently, and I regret not taking the screencap, "No one pays full price for games"

>>4495969
Wait the steam page says it came out in 2017 or is this a different VN

>>4495998
No, AI is cancer and defending it makes you look like a stupid asshole no matter what. If someone is willing to use AI, that shows they have the wrong attitude, some of the best indie games with zero budget of all time were made decades before AI, there's no excuse for this kind of shit. Fuck off.

>>4496195
Just the times we live in anon, most studios now use AI, some use it more and some use it less. I mostly play old stuff so I guess I don't personally have to deal with it that much atleast

>>4496177
Different indeed. The title is a bit generic.

>>4496195
Again, tell me the meaningful difference between a Touhou fangame (being sold for money), just reusing Touhou assets from the actual games, a bunch of unlicensed open source music and sound effects etc.
You would excuse all of these instances of using other people's work and not call those zero budget indie devs "lazy" for using what is available to them as long as you like the game in question because it is either fun to play or well written.

Your distinction is arbitrary and you are in denial. As someone who ACTUALLY has played plenty of no-budget indie games and fan hacks/mods I know exactly how it works. AI tools simply make more things possible for everyone.

The two major concerns with using AI art are:
1. Theft
2. It looks like shit

The solution for 1 is to not train the generative software on real artist's works. Though as I mentioned, stealing assets and code is a common thing in the indie space since 30 years ago.
The second can also be solved alongside the first... let real artists use the AI garbage as a base to work with. The thing this VN's creator said they did. This will both alter the base to not be a copy anymore and fix the clear uncanny and rought patches that generative software has.
If you need a older comparison, this is like people who used to trace art and then altered it to look like something else. People used to complain about that too, when they noticed. But you they usually didn't unless it was like, straight up Dragonball panels or something. Sane gioes for generative AI that was adjusted by human hands. You would probably not notice unless you are told and the dev doing that is completely voluntary. If anything it's commendable to be upfront about it, unlike those fuckers who did those garbage looking AI generated 50 minute "VNs" before and sold you fucking "artbooks".

>>4496175
Fine, if it means finally shutting up your delirious and insufferable shitposts I will sacrifice myself to beat the shit out of your retarded non-argument one last time.
>As an anon put it so eloquently
You do not need to pretend to be someone else. You are the only one whose agenda is to constantly post this same bait every chance you get. It is you. You are the autistic "/u/ doesn't buy games" anon. And consequently you are also the retard who is trying to bait people with it saying that yuri games cannot succeed or should not succeed because they don't hit arbitrary sales numbers you set for them. It has long since been clear you are most likely a bad faith /v/tard actively trying to cause a scene with your low IQ posts. It's a pretty obvious pattern. You have never once talked about playing a yuri game nor buying one yourself. You don't belong here.

Now that we got that out of the way...
>"No one pays full price for games"
A pointless fucking statement if I ever saw one. You are replying to me saying that people want to pay devs for their work by saying "But they don't pay full price" as if that means anything. The dev put their game on sale, you pay them money for their game. This is how the gaming market works, you troglodyte. Do you give the dev money or not? Come on, I am sure your shrunken brainrotted frontal cortex can muster the answer to that!

Game prices are not fixed and should not be fixed. Everyone can spend or afford different prices for an incredibly expensive hobby like gaming. Many games don't even have regional pricing, taking into account a country's different currency stability. You may be uneducated and stupid, as all /v/tards are, but maybe you heard before that 60 US dollars are infinitely more money to someone living in a third world country.
There is also the fact that many devs, like those on itch.io often let the player choose the price they want. A system that gets the game out there and personalises sales.

>>4496230
(continued)
Now for stating to obvious, as your demi-human brain seems to fail to parse even the most basic logic.
People in these threads buy games. Obviously. I know you have never once actually read any posts here if they didn't give you an opening to spread your agenda like germs, but when people disucss games they played here, you can usually assume they also bought them. There are anons here who regularly post screenshots from games they bought. At the end of the year one anon always posts their steam collection of yuri games, which is in the hundreds. People are constantly posting about sales so more anons buy more yuri games. Every thread has posts of people talking about what games they bought or what games they own they want to mod.

So can we finally put your copy-pasta level, pointless shitposts to rest now? I don't actually care what your response is, this is the end of that. Every time you post your bait in the future you will be linked to this post.

Now buy some goddamn yuri games for once in your life and play them.

What? Are you saying that no one will ever make yuri games anymore if /u/ makes a collab game? That's just silly.

Galaxy Princess Zorana came out. It's Hanako's new game (the creator of the Hella Yuri curator). If you liked Long Live the Queen, this is probably in the same vein. Though this time achieving yuri is much easier.

Heartspell: Horizon Academy was released too, which is like a... bejeweld style dating game. I'm getting some crazy deja vu... But this time it's fantasy themed.

Heh, should have called it Long Live The Empress. And are those older ones the moms of Kxenia? Would be fun to go for the full set. Also bald yuri for those interested? Not so sure about the furry types. What is what.

>>4496634
I haven't touched it yet, so I can't really give you those details.Bald yuri is indeed rare.
>furry types
I don't even know what bird people classify as... featheries? Anyway, I know there is a bird lady in this.

>>4495969
It's actually called "The Witch in the Woods". They probably noticed that there was another yuri VN with forest in the title. The news post got it right, so it clearly was always called that.

Can anyone give me some info on Ar Nosurge?
https://vndb.org/v15062
For some reason this game has a high Girl x Girl Romance rating on vndb. Which strikes me as incredibly odd, because it is a sequel to Ciel nosurge, a self-insert game (no I'm not talking about a blank slate protag, I mean literally, you are playing as yourself communicating with the princess in the game through your console) in which you, the player, sort of date the princess? And Ar nosurge has a male protagonist on top of the self-insert? Where could the yuri possibly fit in? I know that vndb does not consider player gender for self-inserts when tagging so it can't just be the possibility of a female player.

Well we are nearing the end of the marathon. Just a few more games until Syrup 2. That is as long as I ignore all the games where nami participated in the creation but which were not written or carried by her. She's done quite a bit of art for indie games after all.

Astra's garden is next. Another super short game that was made as a mini side-project for some jam I think. I hesitate to call it a store management sim, considering there are no time limits or mechanics beyond growing flowers till you made enough to trigger events. It's a glorified event selection screen.
That being said, the vibes are immaculate, the music nice and there are a lot of recognizable NPCs that visit the store... I might be going insane by now if I can recognize the pink mouse girl from Trick's journey who escaped her cannibal mouse people cult... I think she started a flower store, which makes sense considering she is visiting Astra's apothecary.

So the game doesn't really have any yuri value. It's mostly about exploring several side-characters and Astra's family situation. For what it is, it's cute. It was sort of nice to see Vinegar the witch before her unfortunate zombiefication (which makes this a prequel to Spooky Soiree). Shows how she got the whole soul extraction idea, but we know that didn't work out too well. It's really sad to see such a cute girl in this awful situation.

While I am at it I might as well get some other off-topic stuff out of the way. This game focuses on how Periwinkle got his job as a perfume provider for Astra, which is somewhat relevant to the BL game nami made about Pastille the gay guy from the Syrup games and Periwinkle. I haven't played that one and I won't ever, but their relationship gets brought up occasionally in other nami games. As I always say, better have the dudes all be gay than being into women and get in the way of yuri.

Impressive how much worldbuilding can go into such a tiny game. The next games ought to be more yuri relevant.

>>4496718
Looks like a single person voted 3.0 on both it and the previous game, but that one got counter-voted
Sometimes people do weird stuff like that, like I've seen two separate people just go around max downvoting the yuri tag on everything, dunno the motivation here

>>4496753
So it was just a rogue moron? That's very disappointing.
I wish vndb would curate this stuff more. Reminds me of some idiot tagging almost everything as spoilers for some dumb reason. Like the Girl x Girl romance, in a yuri VN with a cover of two girls kissing, was tagged as a minor spoiler. The fact that there was a kitsune heroine was tagged a spoiler, even though she is in the game's provided screenshots.
It's kinda hard to report this nonsense though and if it's a small time game there won't be enough counter taggers.

Sex Advice Succubus! I expected the worst, but instead got some cuteness with a hint of horny.

The first episode is about a lesbian ghost girl who is worried about how she can have sex with her very much corporeal girlfriend. This is a really good one where you can get many outcomes, but it always feels pretty natural. Giving a ghost a possession kink is just the best. There are also vibrators that react to ghostly influences, which is pretty creative. What a strange and beautiful universe.

Qmin is a pretty conscientous gal who tries to make her clients comfortable, so even though she is a sexual person who treats sex as normal, she understands that others have trouble with it.

Now to be clear, this game isn't technically finished. It's episodic and the third episode is still to be released. That leaves the second episode, which is about an asexual incubus who is scared of being pressured into sex. Not relevant to this thread, but I wanted to at least mention it. Hopefully episode 3 is about lesbian again, but I kinda doubt it, due to variety. Unless it's gonna be another episode about polyamory with Treat/Moxie/Mochi.

are there really no yuri games on the DS? only one i can think of is the Japanese version of HMDS:cute (they removed the yuri from the US version)

You guys seeing this shit? Meanwhile, i will be buying multiple copies.

>>4496828
Posting in that right winger hellhole Xitter is definitely some intentional trolling by the dev, but maybe any press is good press and all that.

That aside gooner fairytale stuff has been done to death, so it's certainly not the insane new ground they're pushing. Hope the game is at least somewhat playable.

>>4496815
There are lefit hundreds of unknown JRPGs and shovelware on the DS that nobody has ever touched, so there might secretly be so much yuri content nobody knows about.
>the Japanese version of HMDS Cute (they removed the yuri from the US version)
You can get a gay hack/mod for the Harvest Moon DS game I guess. I'm pretty sure the JP version didn't have yuri either tho.

I feel like one of the Swordcraft Story games was on the DS, but probably not those with yuri. Technically you can play GBA games on it, so you can still play Swordcraft Story 1 on it.

Metal Max 2 Reloaded has been brought up several times in these threads. It has yuri marriage (mostly because the game doesn't really differentiate between male and female protags) and flirting.

Again, if we count GBA stuff, you can get the Restoration Queen hack for Fire Emblem Sacred Stones... or one of the millions of other romhacks that use it as a base.

Rune Factory 3 got its own gay mod that actually works relatively well long before the game was ever rereleased on Steam.

>Swordcraft Story on the DS
You're thinking of Summon Night: Twin Age, which IIRC has no yuri in it.
Speaking of Swordcraft Story, the 3rd game's translation team leader stepped down, so maybe we'll see some motion after almost ten years. I don't think it has anything as gay as Sugar in it, though.

>>4496538
You want the deep lore?
Remember back in Long Live The Queen how there were only a couple of female characters Elodie could hook up with? One of them was Brin, Duchess of Hellas. Someone on the internet made a joke about her being the "duchess of hella yuri". Hanako thought this was funny and named a curator after it. You can google it if you want.

>>4496634
Is this game even good? I wanted to try, but reviews are not looking good. From what I get it is worse than LLTQ in writing department, namely primitive plot structure and disappointing finale

>>4496914
Long Live The Queen didn't have a noteworthy plot at all. Raising sims rarely ever have good stories or satisfying endings, because the goal is to collect all the variations and thus lack focus.
Basically what I'm saying is, you play this for the alternate outcomes and events. Whether you like them or not is really your personal thing. Nobody can tell you if you will like it.

>>4496849
I guess they are all Summon Nights, but I don't care too much about the series, because there is no yuri outside of two games.

>>4496841
>There are lefit hundreds of unknown JRPGs and shovelware on the DS that nobody has ever touched, so there might secretly be so much yuri content nobody knows
There was a game I played as a kid that I've never seen anybody talk about. Ever. Not on lists of underrated or obscure DS games or any retrospectives about DS games either.
It was a grand strategy game where you could select to play any country on a fantasy continent and you had to conquer all other nations and recruit generals etc. It was a bit like one of those Sengoku strategy games desu. I remember playing a country with three girls as the leaders and there was a lot of subtext between them. The game was honestly way too mechanically deep for a DS game, but I still remember that part really well.
I might never find it again...

Was it maybe Spectral Force Genesis? I somehow stumbled upon it one day. I played it a bit but it was a horrible grind past the mid game, as you can only attack on specific months and the rebuild command heals most of the castle damage between them.

WOW YESS!! That's exactly what I was thinking of! I tested it and the moment I saw Espgarude and Lufione a million memories came back.
>it's grindy
Oh hell yeah it was! But I was a kid, so I had infinite time on my hands. I remember beating the whole campaign as Maymai Alliance several times, because I didnt wanna play anybody else lol
I still remember that the main trio were all goofy idealists who want to conquer the world so they can demilitarize everyone. They had a bunch of cute events too.

Thanks anon, I really needed that shot of nostalgia. Probably not gonna replay it though. Kid me was fine with anything, but I'd rather play real yuri game these days.

>>4496841
>I'm pretty sure the JP version didn't have yuri either tho.
You have a 'best friend celebration' instead of a marriage. It has the same requirements for a marriage (including giving them the blue feather and having a double bed), and locks you out of marrying anyone. You also can still have a child delivered too.
Its by all intents and purposes a gay marriage with a different name in the JP version (hence why it was cut from the western release)

>>4497035
Japs would really have you believe in a platonic best friend roommates set-up where you raise adopted children together rather than admit something is gay. I almost respect the grind. Almost.

>>4497036
it was the first game in the series to have any sort of gay options, so its a nice starting point at least

>>4497107
None of their follow up games till the Story of Seasons era had any gay options, so it doesn't seem like they cared about it much.

>>4497027
>there was a lot of subtext between them
Is the subtext strong enough to warrant a playthrough?

>>4497131
Wasting hundreds of hours on a grindy game just for a couple cutscenes sounds like a miserable waste of time.

>>4497131
Probably not. It's just a strategy game with some nation events for every faction. I know I shipped the Maymai trio, but I don't think it was very deep.

>>4497137
I mean, I liked the game enough to beat it several times as a kid, so just accept that some people enjoy this kind of gameplay, even when it's just while you are bored during travels or commutes.
The lack of yuri is more of a disqualifier.

Better catty than the hellhole that is /v/. Seriously, even passive aggressive arguments about games plot points are way better than hundreds of monkey level horny posts or constant sexism and racism as a standard way to communicate.
