>never make a sequel to their most acclaimed game>instead keep regurgitating glorified character makers >no dev ever tries to pick up the slack
>>736642451unfortunately that's the case for a lot of eroge game genres. I don't get it because something more cohesive could be a big hit, but no company wants to touch it with a 10-ft pole. West or East. I don't know what it is but this is a cursed genre. no matter how far along we get with technology and game design, hentai games will always be like 20 years behind.
>>736642753It's the obvious fact that no decent developer wants anything to do with porn games. Do you not ask yourself why there is no porn video with Tarantino tier directing?
What ever happened to pic related? All I remember is that the devs put some sort of encryption on the files that prevented modding and the game itself was pretty barebones when released. Did they ever update it to not be shit? Did anyone ever bypass whatever shit they did to stop modding?
>>736642451I remember the one time they made a house-making survivial game and people outright stopped playing the porn part because the house building part was too good.
>>736642831Because of payment processors and their overly controlling bullshit?
>>736643932No. It's because this kills your reputation.
>>736642849it wasn't that much better than koikatsu to motivate modders bust the game wide openthese illusion devs are lazy af, its 2026 and theres still no proper genitals penetration
>>736642849Devs abandoned the game pretty much right after it released to move on to yet another clone but in some rural setting instead
>>736644187I don't get why they make the game unmoddable if they're dropping it instantly anyway
>>736642849This game has passable 3d models, but in the background they look low res YET AGAIN like it's fucking 2005 all over again... and let's not forget that shitty ass 2d static background.Fuck these Ill Games retards. ill indeed
>>736642451>tfw no Battle Raper 3
>>736642831There is an entire ecosystem of Japanese pornographic games that westerners don't even see beyond what little trickles onto Steam. And it is crazy to the degree how much of it is done with RPG Maker of all things. They are very much servicing their own demand and they just don't care about money from the west or the hassle trying to cater to the west.
>>736644336My PC's fan goes into overdrive if I load a scene with just a few too many basic objects. Illusion's shit is so unoptimized that it desperately needs the low quality BGs so the game doesn't immediately chug.
>>736642451At least you got koikatsu.
>>736644387>They are very much servicing their own demand and they just don't care about money from the west or the hassle trying to cater to the west.It's actually shockingly easy to get your hands on them in the west, sharing sites like F95 are pretty quick to re-up almost any RPGM title they can even if it's shit, and there's ready to go MTL plugins that you can glue on to most games.That and you can just straight up buy shit on dlsite with western cards again.
>>736644445Thats insane...you'd think a company thats been around for 20+ years knows a thing or two about some optimization.. guess not.Or maybe they keep hiring new shitty talent constantly, which wouldnt be surprising cause they never stick to one thing and improve on it
>>736644387Anon this shit is largely done by teams of less than 5 people and they it never amounts to anything other than shitty low effort porn games made in RPG Maker or UnityYou don't see these developers joining larger studios and working on GTA 6. Once you work with porn games you're tainted and hardly getting anywhere close to a serious projectOnly the most untalented hacks end up in this industry. It's the same thing with the horror industry. These genres are plagued with being low hanging fruit for low effort cash grabs.
>>736644519I'm not saying it is hard to get them if you go digging. I am just saying that there is so much of it out there that people aren't going to just stumble into or encounter unless they go looking. So it isn't the case that shit isn't getting made it is that they aren't pushing to advertise it outside of nippon or make it more accessible. Though it does seem like more is getting onto Steam even if its visibility is largely reduced.
>>736644553Allegedly, they have this practice of aggressively hiring new talent, but letting them go before they hit a year. That way, you maximize manpower but also don't ever have to pay bonuses. This basically means you always have a brand new team that has to work with the spaghetti code from before, and no one can stay on board long enough to actually make any meaningful changes. So the company's been around for a long time, but it's essentially completely made of new blood every single year.
>>736644559If it makes money then it is a viable product, at which point it just becomes a question of ROI for trying to sell to a different market. Not everything needs to be AA or AAA, it just needs to service a demand.
>>736642451I think they just don’t know why their game was good.
>>736642451Is AA2 better than Koikatsu if I'm looking for a SoL game where I can woo and fuck a girl? I like the idea of Koikatsu but it leans too far into the fuck half for me. I really don't like how it pushes you to have a harem, especially since the girl you're dating can spit out lines about being afraid you're cheating on her...
I remember downloading Sexy Beach a decade ago and thinking how good that sort of game would be in the future if more effort was put into it, still nothing...
>>736645073Yes, it has better SoL, but not by a large margin. It's still essentially the same system and mechanics.
>>736644256Because people wouldn't be buying their new games if their old games are gonna be better with mods.
>>736644446All Playhome had to do was add a pregnancy slider and they fucked it up
>>736642451At least there's anons working on a modded version of AA2, sadly they quit doing /aa2g/ in favor of using discord.
>screwthisnoise has been MIA for over a year>nobody else makes repacks of ill gamesHow am I gonna try out Aicomi now...
>>736646338Your best bet is F95 at this point, they have the upload albiet with english MTL
>>736646213Where do i find this aa2g discord?
Studiofags, anything you've been working on?
>>736642451Because making a better game with an increased budget doesn't equate to significantly more sales for a porn game.
>Biko>Rapelay>AA>A-GAOld Illusion was all about GAMEPLAY, then they got burned by Sexy Beach Premium ending up a hot piece of Unity shit and never did gameplay ever again before dying.
For me, it's SchoolMate
>>736642451Koikatsu but with the randomness of tomodachi life and the life/combat sim of rune factory never ever
>>736646213>>736646737/aa2g/ is on 4+4chan now. Moved during the extended down time last year and thanks to all the gatcha generals on /vg/
>>736648752you mean 8kun? the AA2 thread is pretty dead there too
>>736649083nvm found it
Man I miss this game. But I'm waaaay too lazy to set it up again since i lost my old setup.
>>736644559But plenty of illustrators have a career of making porn and then transition to more "legitimate" projects.
>>736644684I find this hard to believe. It's practically impossible to fire someone in Japan, unless the workers is a contractor rather than a regular full-time employees. On the other hand, it's easy to not give bonuses as long as they're discretionary like performance based rather than guaranteed.
>>736650435It's what another anon said.
>>736644519>That and you can just straight up buy shit on dlsite with western cards again.still cant see banned tags though, thanks epstein
>>736644387It was hilarious how RPG Maker announced a new version and all of JP twitter basically went "fuck yeah our porn RPGs are getting an upgrade"Those things are unbelievably prevalent, the creators make them for basically nothing and get great ROI as a result, they're all priced ridiculously cheap so fans don't mind buying them, and there's such huge variety that you're pretty much guaranteed to find one that hits a specific fetish
>>736653809That pic is missing a few pieces.Aiwan got bought out by Iwasaki electric which is a "real" company, because their insurance/consulting business was seen as profitable. Illusion was a brand being run like a separate company under Aiwan but it was a secondary side business that wasn't making much (compared to consulting). When Iwasaki bought Aiwan they probably saw Illusion as a liability due to the past Rapelay crap, and this being Japan it's entirely possible that the decision makers might have just have had anti-otaku bias. So Illusion got shut down and they stop putting the games on sale because they 1) weren't considered worth the effort 2) were probably considered a possibly future liability (brand damage to the parent companies) if anything.
>>736655325>It was hilarious how RPG Maker announced a new version and all of JP twitter basically went "fuck yeah our porn RPGs are getting an upgrade"You mean RPGM Unite which basically nobody fucking uses?
>>736655325I sort of knew they existed but I wasn't aware of just how many there were or how prevalent them being RPGM games were. It is pretty interesting that basically all you basically need to make them is an image set and an idea for the story element. The rest is largely inbuilt tools or modules/tilesets. I can completely understand how it can be so profitable in the right environment given that low bar for entry.
Man i just want another honey select game.
>>736649083>>736649373I CANT FIND IT HELP
>>736642451Samabake Scramble with mods is better than I expected, but somehow they ruined character creation in this one. Even on pixiv only 1 in 20 characters looks decent enough to download.
>>736658759The thread in 8kun is dead but the google docs is still up to date and the discord link is in said docs. I'm not joining the discord though.docs google com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS8Ap6CrmSNXRsKG9jsIMqHYuHM3Cfs5qE5nX6iIgfzLlcWnmiwzmOrp27ytEMX03lFNRR7U5UXJalA/pub
>>736658878yo thanks my nigga, im gonna play now, never played this, never even heard about it before, ill try
>>736658919It's really good. Better than KK2 in terms of gameplay.KK2 beats it with its sex positions, sex game(the part where you sex them) and studio though.
>>736646175Playhome story and characters are just inferior to rapelay's. That Manaka public bathroom rape when she's a clueless virgin conveys the experience of being a Japanese rapist so perfectly it makes you go "I wanna be like him when I grow up". What a timeless masterpiece. Best of all the game made the news in my country for being heinous and illegal. Then I promptly declared I knew all about it and people were impressed. I actually got no judgement at all. This game even taught me how to be dominant in a group, just like the protagonist dominates weak women. It's truly a perfect game. This is 100% real btw, not a pasta.
the only downside about this retarded studio is that boorus are filled with koikatsu slop straight from the factory
>>736642831Isn't this literally what New Age French films were?
>>736659123I hate poorly lit scenes and cloth/hair clipping so fucking much bros
>>736643990>Kills your reputation.With whom? Did you ask that question? No? Who controls your reputation? The Jews and Chinks. Fuck them.
>>736648725You could make this if you were compliant with 2D game engine and using RPG maker to make such a game.
>>736642849>shitter AI>smaller map>less sex positions than Koikatsu>Models on par with Koikatsu>Extremely easy to form relationships>No murder, no modules, barely any personalities>It does have very simple NTR/Blackmail mechanics thoughIt could only be a genuine successor if modders added back every feature they cut from AA2. Which they are. Slowly. But currently it's a pale imitation with 50% of the effort needed.
>>736660624>>Models on par with KoikatsuThis is the one thing you got wrong and actually is about the only positive of the game (along with the graphics in general). The models are FAR better than Koikatsu in literally every way aside from there being less clothing options available (due to the amount of addons Koikatsu has). It really makes me sad the game disappointed in all the other ways and never caught on, because if it didn't, the Koikatsu render makers would likely have moved to it, but alas we're stuck to an eternity of shitty Koikatsu renders that already looked dated 10 years ago and just look straight up awful today.
>>736653809I remember some anon told me this was the reason the feet in Koikatsu look so good
>>736658979... kk2?
>>736649938I wonder why AA2 doesn't have a repack
>>736643990Bro VNs NEEDED to put porn in them to be able to sell
>>736646737Here: https://discord.com/invite/acCDXYnPWsThe community seems pretty active, I only found out about it very recently. However! If you don't want to be banned within a day of joining, you need to post what's called a "tax" within the "pay qt tax" thread, which has to be an in-game screenshot of a girl you're talking to. So don't print screen, but use the game's actual screenshot feature and don't rename the file.It seemed like the mods are paranoid about bots, and people with bot like names got banned.
>>736662219>>736649938https://tsukiyo.me/AAA/AA2MiniPPX.xmlThen follow this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS8Ap6CrmSNXRsKG9jsIMqHYuHM3Cfs5qE5nX6iIgfzLlcWnmiwzmOrp27ytEMX03lFNRR7U5UXJalA/pub
>>736642451whats so good about this game?
>>736663265It's pretty much unhinged sims 1 with actual sex. which is great.
>>736642831Well that's pretty silly. It's pretty much an untapped market
>>736662129Ignore my fatfinger. I meant KK, regular Koikatsu lmao
>>736645485No it's not, what the fuck? Koikatsu and AA2 play not even close to the same way, nor are the mechanics similar unless you think "talk to girl" is what constitutes the mechanics.Have you even played both of the games?
>>736667523The mechanics are largely the same autismo-kun, they just have different skins and some limitations. You still interact with the girl and throw a dice at every interaction whose success rate depends on many factors (namely everyone's personality). You can progress from being merely friends to something else to official lovers. You can do all sorts of activities together and improve stats together. It's largely the same mechanics.
>>736655693They announced a new version like 1-2 weeks ago
>>736667790No they are not, you are delusional. For one, you pointed out a reason why yourself - in AA2 literally nothing as far as character interactions go depend on personality. I'm gonna toot my opinion about one game being better or worse here for no reason, but at least play the games you're talking about.Also "interact with the girl" is retarded thing to say when it comes to AA2 in the first place. You are not limited to interacting with girls. You're not limited to playing a male character either.
>>736668093>in AA2 literally nothing as far as character interactions go depend on personalityWell neither does in KK I was referring to the modifiersYou are incredibly mad at something you can't even argue about. This is one of the most pathetic autismo meltdowns of this week
>>736642451I still play it from time to time. No other game makes you edge as hard as AA2. The chase is too potent.
>>736667790The biggest problem from Koi's system from AA2 is it's less "Sim's like", as in you just have 1 MC, there's not really web of class shenanigans going on Don't forget murder, limiting that dynamic a lot. It's due to this I was never able to get into KK much, despite thinking its sex features, the creator and important stuff like ass jiggle are better. This is now compounded by the fact that AAU exists with it's modules, which while being past the scope of the vanilla games, is a thing that further makes AA2 better in that aspect, and helped soften the down sides of it's weaker creator.
>>736662767does this shit crash a lot when you set it all up?
>>736642451Is this you, OP?
>>736655515Interesting. So Illusion's death is a result both of Aiwan's own internal decision-making as well as its new parent company not wanting to pursue these types of products any further. It'd explain SamaBake and Aicomi having very little support compared to its predecessors
>>736673543Illgames seems to be former devs (people who were in Illusion right as they got shut down) but is otherwise completely unrelated to Illusion (and thus Aiwan/Iwasaki) as a company. There's no support because it's literally a skeleton crew of a few former devs.
>>736662767Ah neat, thanks man. Though I probably should have clarified that I lost a decent few original cards that I'm too lazy in recreating rather than the whole game at large. Guess i'll check the database for some placeholders.
>>736661210Could Koikatsu's defaults not be adjusted to be similar to it? Koikatsu renders blow ass because of the default lighting and... unique character models, but I think they can look good given the right tweaks. Though I guess that means jack if people who make the renders don't know how to or don't care to make those edits.
>>736642451One of the AAU devs is currently making a fan-AA3, actually.>>736673819Not sure how lost they are but if you'd shared them, I most likely still have them.
>>736671304Unfortunately yes. After following the troubleshooting instructions it crashes far less often, but I still always have trouble somewhere. I usually have issues adding students to the roster, but once I've done that but by but (while saving) I have a mostly issue free time in the class itself - but it will always end up crashing after a while. I've heard that it's sometimes because of the HEXA hair? I dunno... I wonder rif having more ram would help. Maybe be very selective with the modules you give your characters. I'm still trying to figure it out.
>>736659273I bet 1000 you didn't even buy this game faggot, you pirated it off of dongfire like every other poor porn addict
>>736674260BROI cannot believe someone actually bothered to save them. Got a new rig several years ago and lost them in the transfer. And MEGA is mega gay. I basically have nothing, but a few imagecaps of the game.
>>736642451I really liked their VR game, a sequel to that would've been nice.
I present to you the most aggressive ugly bastard card I've ever made. He will undoubtedly be hated by your class in no time.https://db.bepis.moe/aa2/view/65449
>>736671304>>736674371AA2 has been very stable for a long time, as long as you avoid mistakes like overloading your class with excessive modules that conflict with one another, or missing required core assets. Basically you have to follow the aa2g guide, and not any other guide.RAM does help, especially with a ppx installation, but you should be fine with at least 8 gigs.>>736674485As I told you like 8 years ago, I'm not going anywhere, lol.I've just uploaded all your stuff that I have herehttps://mega.nz/folder/UhARla7C#eDrzwu3AIIx4yB88CKAZcwI'll take them down in a day or two, so don't lose them this time!
>>736674760I bet you it's the modules. How many are safe per student? I think I have all the needed core assets.
Who do you self insert as?
>>736668761Only personality based modifiers AA2 has are related to gait/walk speed and h-intro poses, wtf are you talking about?
>>736674760You are a real one. Good to see you and everyone else are still trucking on. Crazy seeing all the new cards being made looking so much better than before.This is going into 3 different drives and cold storage drive.
>>736675045>SafeCould be 0, could be 23. Not all modules are made the same.
>>736675045The amount of safe modules depends on how complicated the modules are. You can easily get away with so many modules you need to scroll to see the bottom of it with minimal issues as long as they aren't anything too complicated, and different actions can crash some modules while it's perfectly fine with an infinite amount of other modules. Any that scan cards in the class can crash when transferring in a new card for example, but it'd never crash mid-game.
>>736675045With modules it's not about quantity but qualities. For example, if you put 8 of the various "race" modules on, it doesn't matter. That's just a flavor line that other things might use, but rarely do. If you add Praying Mantis, Corruption, and custom ones from Nanajuu on the DB, you can safely expect things to go haywire quickly because of all the advanced scripts that have to run on every interaction. You want to limit those on cards until you fully understand their codes.My rule of thumb for modules is to add them to direct behavior intentionally, rather than using them as flavor based on their name.>>736675285Hell yeah.Also no pressure, but I think it would make Chibiko very happy to see her favorite dog again. The other chan thread is slow, but very comfy because we don't have to worry about getting run off the board like we did on /vg/ here.
>>736675515What happened in /vg/? Who ran /aag/ off?
>>736661210Modded Koikatsu blows it out of the water.Thing is they cracked down on modding hard by using file encryption, so modding became pretty much impossible without some massive reverse engineering effort that nobody would want to put up with for a marginally better KK clone.
>>736675684Gacha games.
>>736675886You mean the thread was slow enough that it kept getting archived?
>>736675684We simply couldn't compete with the gacha generals anymore. We outlasted Bioshock and Mass Effect and hundreds of other generals so I think we had a good run, but the tide got too strong. Things were already pretty slow/bad before the outage in April 2025, so we saw that as a good excuse to ship off somewhere else. Every now and then we get a question about why we didn't move to /h/ here, but since no one seems interested in MAKING a thread on /h/ here I think that answers that question.
>>736675515Is the /vg/ general dead? I wanted to ask some things there so I guess I'll ask you since you seem to be one of the regularsHow do I safely update the game, I think my aau is super old by now but I really don't want to fuck my cards and class saves up
>>736676015Copy new AAU into old AAU folder, replace files.
>>736675515I'll stick my head in one of these days. Maybe I'll do a little something special but I do have a lot of other projects going on. Been obsessed with modding in apparel for Rimworld as of late.
>>736676015We're not dead-dead, we just moved to infinity. If you're just updating AAU then as the other anon said, download the newest release from the github and slap that into your folder, overwriting existing files.If you want a proper full game update, I would follow the full /aa2g/ installation guide google doc, then copy over your cards and screenshots once you've confirmed that the new install is working. Obviously, never delete an old install until the new one is fully functional.>>736676126There's never a better time to stop by than during Maker May!I've been getting a head-start on it since it looks like it will be a busy month for me as well.
>>736675978>Every now and then we get a question about why we didn't move to /h/ here, but since no one seems interested in MAKING a thread on /h/ here I think that answers that question.It does not answer the question to me. COM3D has a general in /h/, why can't AA2 have one too?
>>736676103>>736676312Yeah I think I'll do a full new install, too afraid to lose my girls did you guys ever add more clothes, I know at some point you changed it and it came with the cards or some crazy stuff like that, I'm way behind on this
>>736677025It's not a matter of "can't." I, personally, don't intend to make a thread in /h/ but there is nothing stopping you or anyone else. Once that person does so, all they need to do is tell us, and see what happens. If it succeeds and thrives, great! If it dies (again), so it goes.>>736677771Unless you stopped playing in the last 4 months or so, there are definitely new clothes in the tot pack. If ya follow the guide google doc, posted earlier in this thread, you'll be brought up to speed and copying over your cap, save, texture, and override folders would be your only additional required step.
What happend to /kkg/ on /h/?
AA3, but with in depth preg mechanics
>>736642831Artificial Academy could have just as easily been remade without the porn parts if they ramped up the school simulator parts.
>>736678860/kkg/ moved to the same site as /aa2g/. Well, I guess "splintered" would be a better term. The general was already mostly made of discord users, so when 4chinz went down last year, many decided to just officially move to discord, either the main one or their own hangout. Some went to the new general.At the very least, no one really wants to come back to /h/ here because of the rampant amount of self-stroking, shitposts, and spammers. It's way slower than before, but the IDs help deter people from going full retard.
>>736679360>the IDs help deter people from going full retard.Not gonna lie, this is one of the best things about it for me. It's such a strong samefag deterrent, and while it might reduce "engagement" in modern social media terms, it keeps things much more honest.
>>736675978Just remake the general nigger
>>736661210God, I'm glad someone saved my image
>>736675157
>>736660624I wish AA2 had cuckqueaning It's fun to do with what you get for the first few hours until you realize that you can't really take it any further than what you get by default.
>>736679802If someone (You) makes the thread and tells me about it, I am happy to post in it and advertise that it exists. What I won't do is put in effort to keep it alive, and that is where /h/ AA2 threads have struggled in the past. >>736681162What do you mean? AA2 has all the netorare you could ever need and doesn't care about the sexes of the people involved. Dudes can cuck you, girls can cuck you, you can be the cucker or the cuckee. The world is your oycuckster.
>>736681510No, I know it's got that. I want to engage in the fantasy of cucking the girl that loves you, but the interactions aren't really indepth, at best you give her the cuck module or however it was called so that she doesn't interrupt and ask for you to break up and you can leave it up to your fantasy, but I want something more than a passive trait, like the girl being into getting cucked, either from a humiliation pov, or enjoying seeing (you) fucking someone the girl perceives as being better looking, the girl/s you fuck having interactions like intentionally informing the cuckquean about your proclivities, etc. From what I experienced all that is just left to the imagination and the interactions between girls is building hatred (and eventually murder lol) towards the girl you are cucking her with, or towards you, the occasional physical spat or being ordered not to speak to the other girl.
>>736679545It does kind of suck that people don't get as much feedback as before, but like you said, it feels more honest now.
>>736682847You're misusing words and it's confusing me deeply.If you're saying you want to date a girl and have her be madly in love with you, and then cheat on her in public, and have her get off on this but also hate it while also not interrupting you, you can totally do that in current AA2. You could even do all that without AAU/modules.make the girl normal virtue but perverted and bad with girl. Now she will masturbate to public sex whil being unable to interrupt it, while also not being a complete slut who will forgive any transgression you make with a single headpat.Give her Evil and she'll be able to kill you or the girl you cheated with, unless you can convince her not to through the power of your dick.Give her Lucky so she can evade police if she kills the other girl.Yes, there is an imagination aspect, but it's a video game.>>736684150On the flip side, most people don't REALLY want feedback. They want to be told their cards are good, not what they did wrong.
>>736675876For looks maybe but KK is still a shit game.
>>736688756You have to have some absurd degree of brain damage to play KK's game mode when AA2's right there. KK is purely for Studio.
>>736642451Didn't this get a "spiritual" sequel though. Also remember when Illusion went defunct and it started an entire retarded discussion with puritans gloating and people arguing about the heckin morals of porn game piracy and it turns out they fucking just made another studio for tax evasion purposes or some shit
What is your power level?
>>736688756Reading comprehension.Anon said the models in the new ILLslop were better than KK, which is not the case by a landslide thanks to modding of KK, which is not possible to that extent in the new slop.
Character makers > gameplayslop
I am fairly certain Claude code could handle making a modern clone that would only be half as jank as illusion code in 2-3 months tops. But it might fag out if it's forced to make a porn game.

>>736691715>created july 2015Glad I'm not the only og around here
i dont understand how to play this game
>>736650242In rare cases some of them even make "official" porn of their own series
>>736694572That's the best and most fun way to play the game.Approach a character and pick an action. The percentage in the top left is the chance that you had to succeed, whether you have a good result or not.Your goals are your own - you can do as much or as little as you want in a class.If you want to get to sex stuff, you have to properly woo them.
>>736695101Or you can just make a slut that will no doubt say yes on first ask. Or you can make a exploitable girl and rape her after like 3 tries.
>>736691950You are both newfags to me
What's going on here?
>>736696257we're roughly about the same then, my first card is 14337 (Ryuugu Rena).
>>736691950>>736696257>>736697080Did any of you play AA1?
>>736665389:(
I can't get used to the default potato faces in aa2.
>>736696257I had to move my install in 2015. You're young enough to be my son.>>736697450No one played AA1.>>736697701You can change the faces, you know.
>>736697450Yes, I started my Illusion journey with downloading Aritifical Girl 1 from dongfire and figuring out what chinese buttons to press on the untranslated installer and then installing the english patch.
Did anyone bother archiving Artificial Girl 3 with all its mods?I went on a spree a year before hongfire shut down and randomly slapped mods onto it.It's such a neat game.
I guess it's lost media then...
>>736698590>>736698867You waited six minutes in a thread about a different game.
>>736698867Games that become lost media probably weren't worth preserving to begin with.
Dated game, but it had its moments around release though. Give me EraTohoTW in 3D or don't bother.
>>736697762>No one played AA1.I still have my old aa1 install.doesn't work anymore because it was installed on a old hard drive and just coped over but it's there.
>>736680561Yeah... I was there in all the release threads. I was so excited and active in the community for the game, only to be massively disappointed once the sad reality set in. The image has just been rotting in my Downloads folder as a sad reminder of what could've been...
>>736698590>>736698867I got a bunch of AG3 shit, but I couldn't tell you from where or how anymore because it's been over a decade. I do know I lost a lot of the characters I had download from Hongfire, but I've been able to repopulate one way or another over the years. Only downside is that as time's gone on it's better getting harder and harder to use the Make Selector to create girls. Used to make chicks with green skin and whacked out eyes because I'm into that shit, now it crashes almost everything or the libraries don't load in properly which also causes a crash. So some things are of a bygone era, but it's fine. Still fun to go back to.>>736697762I played AA1 for a long ass time. Hell it's still instead on my secondary drive. I never touch it anymore, but it's there. Never played AA2 in my life either.
>>736675876While this may be true, most KK render makers don't really use any of the mods to actually make things look decent. SVS looks far better by default, which is a massive improvement. The lazy slop makers could've used it, had it actually caught on, and we would have better content in general.
>slop vacation slopscramble
>>736642451dying genre that make no money compared to loweffort gachaslop
>>736642451It's so insane to me there was never a worthy successor. One of my fondest life memories is building my first computer, hooking it up to the 32 in TV in my room and immediately downloading AA2. Fapped like 8 times that day.
>>736700930Eroge are bigger than ever, in the doujin scene. Like everything else these days people are returning to the roots of single man or small teams instead of bloated companies.
>>736700414To be fair to them, they know they can make their renders look better. They can look at pixiv and see how good cards can look, but they also see that there are usually paywalled. Combined with the fact that the knowledge on how to make better-looking scenes and de-Chika-ing your characters isn't readily available even to those who download the latest repack, most people are just gonna run with the (slightly edited) default.
japs really need to make more 3d
>>736701763Vile. Do weggers really?
>>736701116Sure but it's easier to make a shitty RPGmaker game with some cheap CGs than it is to make a real game.
>>736703798Illusion hasn't made a real game either since AA2.
Am I in the oldfag club too?
>600 fps normal >8 fps in game >4080 The fuck am i doing wrong?
>>736708395And by In game I mean.. in game. Giggity. No seriously what the fuck.
>>736708395>windows 11
>oh hey here's our updated one-click install for our game give it a shot! >Just make sure you haven't updated your operating system since 2013! We're too retarded to make our shit work lollololol95% chance it's going to be some fucking retarded graphics workaround someone did. Unregistered hypercam works out of the fucking box and that uses encoded shit from the 1980s.
>>736708395Did you play Teatime games like Love Death 4 on release LMAO?
Is it feasible to port one game's card to another? Or some kind of program that can convert one set of sliders from one game to try to copy its appearance into another?
>>736709548No. You can port HS1 to PH, AI to HS2, KK to KKS.
>>736708532>enable windows 10 fix (required for anything above windows 7) >restart >options menu will now appear next to fix. Open and close it. The fix is now enabled. Restart again>The game now works fine >Launcher last updated: last month >Fix was a single post on a random github page from 10 years ago I love being right. Random retard workaround. Every time. Blame the OS. >>736709512m8 there's a big difference between some indie game released yesterday and a game maintained for 18 years not working on the last 4 versions of the most common operating system without a nested settings change.
maybe samabake could be as good as aa2 but the fucking game system is so ass to mod, hence nobody is working on it.
Quick question, going through the process to reinstall this (its been ages), and just wanted to know if the harderlinker goes in the "texture" folder or if I need to make a "textures" folder to put the harderlinker in. The instructions in the harderlinker drive say "textures" but that folder doesn't exist at the moment, only "texture" does.Am I overthinking this?
Post the girls you're working on, anons.>>736712541The folder path should be \data\texture\harderlinkerTat folder will contain subfolders like "bikini."And no you are not overthinking it, that is a perfectly reasonable question.
>>736709803The update that made the game stop working on windows 10 was made by Microsoft years after the game was released. It was never fixed at all. Win10fix is a third party solution.
>>736712691Thanks anon.
>>736712691post her underwear
>>736713915She loves cat.
>>736714020Very nice, very cute.
>>736714020Whore
>>736712691It's KK stuff, but hopefully it counts. Seeing them side by side, I'm just realizing that I never changed the blush style and it's bothering me.
>>736714815Is that fucking Erin Esurance?
>>736714857Yeah. Hopefully it's not too bad an attempt.
>>736642451
>>736714963On the plus side, I did recognize her.I'm not a KK guy so I can't comment on the art styles the game allows but I do think I'd do her differently if I were in your shoes.
>>736715019I started from the default Chikarin, so the vanilla style's definitely bleeding through. I've thought about trying to build off of a Kim Possible card or something similar. She'd probably look way better with a more western character as a base.
i prefer koikatsu because i use it as a creative tool https://litter.catbox.moe/8h7i7w.mp4
>>736697450I remember playing it in an old laptop I got from school back in 2012-2013, got it from Dongfire. I lost gallons to it and modded Oblivion, before hf closed I remember getting happy birthday emails from it lol, good times.>>736712691Your AA2 is looking very different damn, maybe I need to update mine but I haven't bothered to play it in years.
>>736691950I had to uninstall the games and delete a bunch of shit over the years but I was around for a bunch of AA1 playthroughs and made a rainbow dio
>Artificial Academy seriesHonestly cool little games, only reason I'm not playing them anymore is because I have memorized every line and pose by now. Mods are cool but yeah, still. Played them a little too much.>SamabakeI'm pleased it exists, but it's honestly AA2 but more barebones. Even with people actually putting in the effort to crack the anti-mod measures, I know it was already done.>KoikatsuMuch like anyone else, I don't even bother with the game part, but it has served me well for scenes and designing cute girls. Many of my OCs were either recreated in KK by now, or have originated from it in the first place.
the tits in this game remain undefeated, the nipples as well.. just perfection.
>>736717397sauce on the scene?
>>736697450>image taken Tuesday, 28 June 2011Fuck take me back. Honestly I probably played AA1 more than the sequel.I can't believe that some other indie dev hasn't taken up the mantle of making an AA clone since ILLUSION don't seem at all interested
>>736644446I still boot this up every so often, nothing hits quite like Rapelay>>736659061This nigga gets it
>>736644559lmao retard. there's a ton of successful mangakas who began their career and gained exposure through porn
>>736659061>That Manaka public bathroom rape when she's a clueless virgin conveys the experience of being a Japanese rapist so perfectly it makes you go "I wanna be like him when I grow up"
>>736718510I still have my AA1 cards lying around somewhere on my PC even if I don't have the game anymore.
>>736642451Japan is ruled by monopolies that nuke everything that's potential competition but are snob enough to consider the small too beneath their notice. So independent developers have this understanding of "you grow too big, you get nuked by a giant".PocketPair for example didn't get the memo so they got sued by Nintendo trying to worm around laws. Then didn't get the memo again and decided to fight to the death to set an example for independent developers. Nintendo is shitting itself now as governments started disarming it's legal weaponry to start frivolous lawsuits, while no indie is following PocketPair's example so nothing fucking changed on the indie scene yet actually....
>>736719074>Japan is ruled by the US that nuked Nagasaki and Hiroshimafify
>>736719167Bad bot.
>>736673380This is probably the most out of place use of this image I’ve ever seen, the equivalent of a twittertard calling someone “incel fascist” for discussing the sequel to a video game
>>736712691Koikatsu, and honestly I'm unsure if she'll stay this way. I have about four girls I never change and a handful I'm never really happy with.
>>736642849There is some modding being done but I don't think it's on the level of AA2
>>736642451They did but it doesn't even have 1/5th of it's feature
>>736717397pls for the love of cunny update your pixiv or something with you latest cunny pics. I don't care if they are wip, it's really hard to collect them by scrapping archived threads
>>736661210Good ol' ratting with Pure.Was funny how she suddenly became popular in the early threads.
>>736688756Who the fuck actually plays the regular game beyond a curious one time attempt? It is all about fapping to the enormous studio content.
>>736724817I liked fucking the nurse, and it was fun to see which girl decides to hop on your dick when you fall asleep Plus the machine translation of the actual story mode had a few laughs
>>736642831tarantino fucking sucks, there are plenty of porn on his level and many a lot better
>>736726001Truly the way Illusion games are meant to be played.
>>736718678Funny that you could not name one to prove him wrong
>>736727002Not him but ナナシ for a start
>>736726102
>>736727752Good one.I have this, and don't know what the hell she is even trying to say.
Come home white man
>>736728147Is this shit even released yet? Or are they drip feeding it via 20000000 DLCs again that you have to individually install?
>>736717540>Your AA2 is looking very differentI use the Helltaker UI with custom girl/boy room backgrounds.
>>736728556It hasn't released yet, they've been drip feeding info for like years now. The game is showing steady progression so it's not like it's vaporware already but it's still probably a year or two away at minimum from release.
>>736730232Why announce something you won't release for another 5 years?I get AAA publishers doing that to fool investors but a niche porn game studio?
>>736730314Worked for Star Citizen and Yandere Sim. Hype makes money while release results in disappointment.
>>736730314I think KISS has been the smartest when approaching this part of the industry. You can say whatever you want about the quality of COM3D2, but thanks to its model it has been kept alive and has such a ridiculous amount of content that it pretty much has everyone contempt. Thanks to this constant influx stream they can now afford to make a more ambitious sequel without compromising the former since if it flops they can just go back to milk COM3D2. Illusion has dug its own grave with the same rehashed sequels and I think it's now starting to suffer the consequences, even the most diehard fans won't come back to a game that barely improves upon their previous titles (see Aicomi).
>>736727002If you're this proud of being ignorant you don't deserve spoonfeeding.Not just mangaka either. Eroge writers, artists, and even specific IPs that started as porn are making hundreds of millions annually. You're just retarded.
