They stopped making games with cute anime lesbians because you didn't buy them enough...yeah they could have been a bit better but you didn't show your support
>>742293046People didn't buy Valkyrie Drive or Samurai Maiden because they were dogshit games.
>>742293694maybe they should make a yuri game that isn't midhas anyone pitched this idea
>>742293046Yurislop doesn't appeal to me, so I never even started buying.
People still play Heaven Burns Red.
>>742294482HBR sucks, especially everything after chapter 2
>>742294394Crymachina was mediocre too. Better than VD and SM but still not something anyone would like to play.
>>742294716Yeah I meant to imply that with the image. Very mid. Seems to be a pattern
>>742294871Yuri is a narrative concept and therefore mutually exclusive with a medium like videogames, and what the audience wants is just the girl romance so there is no reason to put effort into the game itself.
>female protagonist>no unlockable outfit upgrades>no corruption mechanicit's too bland and boring without one or the other
>>742293046They didn't. They just make gacha now.
>>742295635There's no reason it has to be like that. Plenty of people who aren't into yuri VNs but would play a game. Crymachina could have had better mechanics and it would have been a good game while also being yuri. Likewise Samurai Maiden could have let all chars be playable and had romance paths, not the lazy dream bubble things
>>742296238>There's no reason it has to be like thatYes it is. Why would you spend budget and developer time developing a deep combat system, complex enemies and interesting level design when you core audence only see those as an obstacle between one yuri scene and the next? It would be literal wasted money.
>>742296540Then might I suggest they make a visual novel instead of a game?
I've gotta say foxgirl + human girl is just about the hottest thing around - too bad real lesbos don't seem to care much for it
>>742296648Well, that's exactly what I think. In fact most of the interactive yuri media available in the market are VNs.I believe they add the shitty game sections because they can't charge $70 for a VN while with their shovelware they can because it technically is a videogame.
>>742295635This. Visual novel are great for yuri, but it's still a novel. You read or watch yuri, there's not "playing" it. Putting yuri inside a game with actual gameplay feels more like a bonus rather than a main interest.
>>742296893There's a lot of human girl + non-human girl around. Vampire, beastgirl, demon girl, there's quite the choice. But I agree there should be more, and the newgens discovering yuri often have trash tastes, it doesn't help the market
>>742293046I only want loli-with-loli yuri so it didn't interest me.
>>742296648VNs got killed by gacha too, arguably even harder, because gacha solves the piracy problem by being an always-online game. Something like 90% of VN players just pirate them per MangaGamer's own estimates. The only X-factor there is Steam, but of course Steam constantly bans them.
>>742299745>VNs got killed by gacha tooThere are dozens of yuri VNs released every month.
>>742300082They're boring. Yuri is better as a spice and not the main ingredient. Hence why we need vidya gaems that are good and just happen to have a cute yuri premise
>>742293046If you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. If you neuter your game for people who aren't the main audience, don't be surprised if the main audience doesn't show up.
>>742299745VNs are still getting made all the time and do quite well
How did her smartphone not run out of battery? Did she plug it into Komimi?
>>742293046It's all gacha nowAnd honestly it's better off this way since the quality never went past PS Vita tier anyway.
>>742304325It's not better as gacha...gacha games are all shit, balanced around either swiping or daily quest slavery. A normal game could at least possibly be good, a gacha has zero chance from the start
>>742293046Coming off of Bullet Girls Phantasia SM felt like playing a demo where 90% of the features they had before, now missing.Censorshit really killed these guys.Given they used to have "interrogation" scenes with girls essentially shlicking eachother off and commenting on how they're being "bullied really hard" SM should have been yuri scissoring kino but they squandered it all.
>>742305407These fan service type game were always low quality shit. That wasn't really an issue when their price matched their quality but before they started dying off they wanted you to pay actual game prices for this shit. It going to gacha means it's finally in a league where it belongs.
>>742305407>>742306497Also >A normal game could at least possibly be good, a gacha has zero chance from the startLmaoYou have been living under a rock or something? Most gachas today blow the fuck out of normal games. That's how far normal games have fallen.It's the complete opposite now. A gacha could be good but a normal game has basically 0 chance of it being good.
>>742293046I did buy it but then they started bending over and censoring what little they even had which killed all hype and support
>>742293046Wanted to buy SM but it was censored.>>742293694VD is literally Senran Kagura but better.
>>742293046>You didn't buy lesbian stuffYeah cause I'm not a woman
>>742305823This.
