We need to return to the golden era of Japanese gaming.

>>745168924Bros, where and I find more screenshots of these old PC games? I absolutely love this style, and I wanted more of it, but I can't find no place online that catalogued this specific style.
>>745173134i'll teach you if you tell me how old you are
>>745173134>omg I love the aesthetics sooo muuuch uwu (will never play one btw)foid mentality
>>745173134You considered playing them?
>>745173134That's AIslop
>>745173741I'm 27, but I have an old soul. I love this style, and I want to see more of it. Please oldfriend, help me.
>>745173134Play the original yu-no. If you can figure that out, you'll know where to find more.
>>745173134It's AI.
>>745174428kill yourself
>>745168924This. Prove me wrong. (YOU CANT)
>>745169149ribs visible, eyes bloodshot, thrusting away...

>>745174413>>745174565Are you retarded? In 2022 AI couldn't even dream of making something like this. Respect the artist.
>>745168924Isnt Hiro like some manly name?

>>745168924>>745170974Why does she love to get abused by fat ojisans?
This is now dithering thread, post more old games with dithering and remakes that strips it all to soulessness.
>>745183480Why even remake it? It looked fine. It just needed a way to make it higher resolution without looking like shit.
>>745170974Her bones are poping out, i think she needs more calories
>>745183534You can integer upscale it in DxWnd. Also I think most video cards have an option that let's you use integer scaling when using low resolutions like 640x480.
>>745183480why not tittywhy
>>745174428>I'm 27, but I have an old soulFuckin zoomer faggit. Your kind has no business with TRUE soul from pc98 era games or style.
>>745183786>upscale slopnah, this is like saying to watch anime in 2X with these shitty 4K 60 fps recodes
>>745183480I don't know why the fuck they picked Nagi for the remake, he's notoriously bad at emotional expressions. When I think of someone to potentially draw yu-no again I don't think of the guy who did Ar-Tonelico's character designs.
>>745183534So Mages can sell it on console. DMM at least keep Elf IP's adult theme intact unlike mages.
>>745183534How else would you remove all the H-scenes and icky problematic, racist, sexist or transphobic content?
>>745174428I think you should learn Japanese and play through the retro games yourself, on a shit-top like the oldfags did to appreciate the way they were played.>>745176772Hiro is a Japanese pun on the word "Hero", Japanese are weird like that with puns and love them about as much as they love NTR.>>745177112probably never since its the default pedo-groomer pipeline series that killed Miura's ambition to finish Berserk.
>>745184027Backgrounds really are a completely lost skill for the japanese huh?
>>745183924Are you retarded or are you just pretending?
>>745184237>he can't afford a second monitor to play old games because his entire life savings went toward 4Kslopgrim... enjoy your AI upscale plastic art
>>745184235they to to make them feel lived in and realistic to the scene and there's 100% more clutter in a 80s to 00s store, bedroom or a collector's room than in a modern one since all goods were physical mostly at a store.
>>745184337I think you're missing my point. Each part of the background in the original has a higher attention to detail than the subsequent ones. It's not a matter of if it's cluttered or not.
>>745183480>>745184027high test vs low test art styles
>>745184583That PSP one is fucking heinous
Who is this chick from? Seen her in so many porn but still dont know whose she
>>745184583what the FUUUUCK is that shit on the bottom middle?? looks like a twig fag of a manlet.
>>745184662The eve PSP game is a really unique speciment of a remake.
>>745184027>>745184803Setting the art aside, 100% of eroge ports to consoles are dogshit because they have to remove the H-scenes and censor all the adult and dark content that the writers had the freedom to include because there are no expectations or restrictions placed on them when making an adult game.
>>745184803I cant even tell whats worse- what you just posted or the Yu-No remake.At least Yu-No remake actually enhances and improves the very obscure and unintuitive gameplay of the original..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksC4xJ-wHIThe remake OP is great
>>745184420that's just how up-scaling works anon, some "apparent detail" is forced because of limitations of the pixels allowed on the screen. that's how pixel graphics generally work.
I think we can all agree that these retarded ass japanese devs and companies need to stop REMAKING the old ass games and simply PORT the old versions for them to be easily compatible with modern machines and just upscale the original CGs and images in higher resolution. Thats all you gotta do, stop remaking the ART you pathetic cunts.
>>745185008The original gameplay is fine. People are just dumber these days and aren't capable of basic problem solving.
>>745168924Oh yeah man, I miss these... True Love was one of the first dating sims I've ever played. Must've played it around 2002 or so. I don't even fucking remember how I came across it at the time.>>745173134>>745174428Don't feel demotivated anon, it's good that you take an interest in it.I'd help you if I could, but it's been decades, i've never tried to search for them ever since I last played.
>>745184803what the fuck, completely ruined
>>745185229You're being extremely disingenuous... original Yu-No has a very very obscure system where it's extreeeemely hard to play without a guide/walkthrough.. or you'll be wasting a massive amount of time between routes and between clicking every inch of the screen like a braindead monkey. Remake improves the UI and gameplay + progression a ton
>>745185340>True Love screenshot.Very based.My first hentai game and still amazing how theres all those stats and random events. Not many games incorporate stats and calendar stuff like that, both new or old
>>745173134I got you bro.https://archive.org/details/NeoKobe-NecPc-98012017-11-17https://simk98.github.io/np21w/https://gang-fight.com/projects/98faq/
>>745184803Early 10's style was kino fight me.
>>745168924wait a minute...
>>745185457>>745185624>>745185054Hey uh... what are those images in the middle? are they like HD releases of the original pc98 game(s)? cause those are the PERFECT middle ground for these games. Cleaner than OG but much better than remakes too
>>745184994more like when they make a PC game, they don't have to care about restrictions by Ninshitdo or Snhity or Cucksoft. just the marketplace (DL-Site) they will sell it on.
>>745185664The middle one is the windows port of the game in late 90's by the original developer.
>>745184237you're only supposed to use that setting when you have a CRT monitor. If you have one you set it to 640x400@70hz and it'll fill the screen and look beautiful.
Have you been playing anything on PC98 recently?
>>745183480>top artist flexing perspective with a SPIRAL staircase>bottom is just a generic VN apartment wallit's the little things
>>745185428I've 100%ed it without a walkthrough. I know what it's like to play. I even made a little ascii art replica of the A.D.M.S. map as I played so I could take notes on what branches I still needed to explore and what items I would need for them. This is lost on the modern gamer, but figuring stuff out on your own is more exciting and interesting then being spoonfed all the answers.>clicking every inch of the screen like a braindead monkeyThere's only a few spots in the game where it's not obvious what you're supposed to click on. The flavor text is funny, you should be reading it anyway.
I thought this was Hiro thread
>>745186137OP is a trickster so this thread evolved naturally into what it seemed to be.
>>745185340please play these games in their proper aspect ratio. you're squishing the soul out of her.
>>745180404It's not 2024 anymore unc

>>745186319we will never have this amount of atmosphere because of 3D slop ruining all the fucking shit. just imagine all the labor on old tech some fart did to get this thing onto the screen. the things we lost to time...
Where do you do to buy this style of game, or is it all emulations?
>>745186137
>>745186448The atmosphere was already ruined in the first place by it being a modern character design
My dithered wife
>>745186536modern or not still better than just 3D slop geezer.
>>745186549modern slop on teh right is way much worse because of lack of textures on the centre, centre wins.
>>745168924>arisu are you playing the sims 3... wait a minute... that's me and you! married! AND WE EVEN HAVE KIDS!!!
>>745186448>>7451866612D games are still being released, and we still have a lifetime backlog of them. The goycattle deserves the AAA 3D slop, since AAA will never appeal to us in the first place because it has to be so safe to sell, I don't see your point.
>>745186479Some of these games have rereleases through Project EGG. Occasionally Windows ports of these games get physical CD reprints. Most people just pirate them, though. Not too long ago it was announced that some PC-98 games by an old publisher called Fairytale that are getting rereleased on Steam with English translations, so if you're eager to spend your money, you can buy those when they come out.
I recently played Rance IV and Toushin Toshi 2 and they fucking ROCKED.
>>745185340Damn I just realised True Love has a port for modern systems. How is it? As the other anon mentioned the aspect ratio is different, but is it stretching or cropping or what?
>>745186823Basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW4Dqnlie_E
>>745186776its rarer to see that specific stylized art direction with the detailed pixels.
>>745186823>Toushin Toshi 2Play the 3DS remake
>>745186873Is there any way to get the CGs and spirtes from these games in sizes suitable for modern monitors? The ones on the wiki are tiny, but when I played these they didn't look badly upsaled at all, so clearly there is some way to make them look good.
>>745186960...how does this version handle all the rape from the original?
>>745187004the original resolution is 800×600 anything above that would require using AI to upscalebetter to just use a 720p second monitor
>>745187285>anything above that would require using AI to upscale?????
>>745187356I'm not talking about the normal upscaling that just makes the art more blurry to fit your resolution.
>>745187004>>745187285I completely forgot that I could have just grabbed some screenshots directly from the game. Maybe some other time.Pic related is from the wiki, for the record.
>>745187042Retconned, all the monster capturing and raping the girls of the contender that you defeat on the tournament arc don't happen anymore. To be honest it makes sense in for this game: you are trying to get your childhood friend Hazuki to marry you by winning the tournament on the first arc (which ended up going stupid with the hell thing and level up goddess shenanigan), so raping girls inbetween feels out of place even on the original version's first arc even if you can say no to rape almost all except for the first girl.
>>745187527Yeah, but what about the Angel Eater arc. That part is mega rape-y in the original game.
>>745168924of what? when the """"""""""""""Gameplay""""""""""""" was just a slideshow of a bunch of jpgs?
>>745187475>what is nearest-neighbor
>>745187481You can just use sadpanda to see them too
>>745174565the guy has posted multiple videos of his process.
>>745187734
>>745187004If you're talking about screenshots, you can use ffmpeg.ffmpeg -i <inputFileName>.png -vf scale=iw*2:-1:flags=neighbor <outputFileName>.pngYou can change the 2 in iw*2 to whatever you want to make the output bigger or smaller. You can also enter an exact resolution instead of using a multiplier, but I don't know why you'd do that with PC-98 screenshots.
>>745187724Thanks, Alice, but that place is a bit too spooky for my liking.
feed your lolis people
>>745187854why would I raise cannibal lolis
>>745168924i like his reimagining of modern games as pc98 games
>>745186873>>745187481How do you go about playing this in current year?
>>745188814Original has the best colours and backgrounds, as well as pure SOVL dithering.
>>745188737Get it from the Alicesoft wiki, you can find the link to it and other things in the /haniho/ general over on /vg/. Most of Alicesoft's games up until Kichikuou Rance in 1996 have been made freeware officially back in 2006 or something. This applies to Toushin Toshi 1 and 2 as well. They are also modern windows-OK versions, so you don't need to fiddle with emulators and compatibility mode and all that shit.Though you should probably play the 01, 02 and 03 (the modern remakes of I, II and III) before playing IV.
>>745187734>Need a 3D model just to draw the simplest pose that not even a full bodyAs an artist, I'm lost for words.
What game is she from
>>745188737yeah what the other anon said, start with the first one since they're not standalone, the characters and plot are connected.
>>745188974It's literally just reference doll but digital, why the fuck do you want to self flagellate when there are tools to make your life easier
>>745188974ok post your art then
>>745177112hopefully never
>>745189084It's like being good at math but still pulling out a calculator for basic 2 digit problems. That's basically what's going on here.
>>745168924Bubble-era Japan is never coming back bro.
>>745189134Tell me if I'm wrong but isn't left just autistically copying every single thing in each image, while completely missing the feel it is supposed to evoke? Not to mention the right images all fitting together, while the left ones clash? And the characters lose all their personality.
>>745189212other people are already shitting on you for that, but i think you're mostly at a loss of a csp license.it's been a core feature of that software for over a decade now.
>>745168924VNs? They never stopped churning them out en masse. It's the only genre they have left outside of platformers.
>>745188949>>745189020Thanks anons. Turns out I already downloaded these years ago and forgot about them, lel.
>>745185903...anyone?
Any good NTS or NTR games from that era?
>>745189580Kill yourself.
>>745168924Japanese Gaming for this feel?
>>745189547I only play remakes, setting up dosbox takes too much effort and the pc98 ui while looking good, is fucking tedious to use.
>>745189229The 90s weren't the bubble era.
>>745189580It's pc98, purityfags haven't sanitized the genre yet, you can have shit like dating prostitute in a dating sim game, your mother/wife/sister getting raped in plot game, etc.
>>745189580yeah, it was an era before we got tourists like this one >>745189616try isaku
>>745184803>the last onekek
>>745173134This is a demake, tard. Anime girls didn't look like this in the 90s. If you want this particular style, search for " Dot / Pixel" genre in dlsite.
>>745189904>>745189946So any recommended games with such content? I'd prefer NTS, but NTR is fine as well.
>>745189212i'm replying to you a second time because i feel this needs expanding. being able to do everything the old school way is important for an artist. but any artist worth their salt wouldn't say to shun blocking out your scenes in 3d to save time especially when you have some kind of deadline you're trying to meet. the context isn't pulling out a calculator to add 9+2 here. it's a solo dev making all the CGs and sprites for the indie game he's been working on for 4 years now, doing all the art for a VN is a shitton of work, and any time save you can work into your process you can get you should take.
>>745188974Maybe that's why his art is popular and cute, while you're a literal nobody.
>>745188974You're a retard if you don't use references. That's why his art is used for something while no one gives a shit about yours.
>>745185903I'm an EOP so the language barrier severely limits how many PC-98 games I can actually play. The last one I played was the recently released translation of Dengeki Nurse. It got a few laughs out of me, but I don't think it was anything to write home about.
>>745187734>>745190190>Go to all the trouble of making a PC-98 styled VN>Use a modern artstyleWhy?
>>745190656The anachronism give it a unique look. I think it's pretty neat.
>>745185340>True LoveMan, this one, Nocturnal Illusion and May Club are the ones I have the fondest memory of.Such fun times these were when I was discovering those games for the first time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLNfkr8HAakhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UYUrcSbCawhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3clSUWkYNY
>>745190656i guess you could say it's his style, i personally find the blend of pc98 limitations with a more modern anime artstyle to be interesting. he's basically the only person doing it.
>>745174647Where is that from?
>>745174647My fucking wife.
>>745168924>We need to return to the golden era of Japanese gaming.I agree
>>745168924>the golden era of Japanese gamingthe release date of maitetsu?
>>745168924The 70s into the 90s was the end of the post war and cold war eras, in which socialism failed and any big government project fell out of favor to individuality and capitalism. And then it very rapidly re-emerged as raw politics and socialist candidates all over europe. Not in the US or Japan but everywhere else.And they were the best of times, which is proof that all we need are less politicians and the world becomes a better place.
>>745191441Cute autist.

>>745185219ass yourself
>>745168924I fucking love PC-98 art, but man, I wish they had made more than menu-based games (VN's and turn based RPG's). There deserves to be more action games with cool animu aesthetics.
>>745173134Hey you go buddy, enjoy
>>745191167She great but I prefer the tanned one whose name slips my mind
>>745192256I remember reading that the PC-98 display was really bad at displaying things in motion. But it did have beautiful colors, hence all the visual novels.
>>745192256
>>745192256>actionslopand nothing of value was wasted
>>745192329PC98 was made with hiragana, katakana and kanki in mind, so they needed a screen with a better resolution. The detriment was a worse quality for animation.
is this the new bad thread
>>745192481no, it's the remake/remaster bad thread
>>745192329I've seen a couple platformer games and yeah, they did kind of have slightly jittery movement, but they ultimately worked fine. Probably just needed a little more tweaking from someone who had experience at the genre.>>745192337Interesting.>>745192382Go get motion sickness from a moving screen, bugman.
>>745192337What's this game called?
>>745192564anon you're not going to believe this...
>>745192481it's the people posting raw pc98 screen grabs in the wrong aspect ratio and calling it all beautiful threadit hurtsplease look at these in 4:3 the way they were actually displayed

How is EVE: Burst Error compared to YU-NO?I'm playing through YU-NO again (this time Remake) with my gf and I'm boggled about the fact that they've left all the sex in the story practically untouched - he still fucks Ayumi, for example.
>>745184583Bottom right looks like one of those Japanese movies from the 90s, classy & bad weather (the good way).Top left and top right (the tiny one) still have soul, but they arguably lost the Japanese style and character, could be in the USA or Germany for that matter.The rest are pure unadulterated slop.
>>745190656Same thing homebrew devs do. It's the limitations that are the appeal, not the era-appropriateness.
>>745193427Anon, the PC-98 wasn't 4:3, it was 8:5.
>>745185909left: 8/10middle: 6/10right: that's a low effort prostitute bro/10
>>745193874not that anon but is it true that the jap NTSC and the 8:5 had different pixel aspect ratios?not that it matters that much compared to PAL...
>>745190224He will sell 50 copies and both of you will be crying
>>745194129Yeah, no, he'll sell at least 2000. That's not a 50 copy game no matter how I look at it.
>>745194073Why are you asking such stupid fucking questionsGo look NTSC-J up on wikipedia faggot
>>745193790>(this time Remake)Why?
>>745194206it says NTSC has 10:11 but the 8:5 has 9:10you're fucking stupid
>>745188974>i-it doesn't respect.... The artstyle era!!!
>>745194073PC-98 is a series of computers. They attach to computer monitors, not televisions, so they don't use the NTSC video standard. Also, pixel aspect ratio is not a fixed attribute of any video standard. It depends on the dot clock rate of the device creating the video signal. Since CRTs are analogue devices, pixels can be of any arbitrary width.
>>745194664>>745194576>>745192293>>745183480>>745168924i love those classy bordersthey set the mood and make the scene more intimate

>>745194859He's probably too stupid and ESL to understand that, but in case he didn't get why I called it a stupid fucking question, it was because the question was entirely irrelevant.

>>745195593Now that the scene can fit into the widescreen ratio, there's no need for fancy border to fill the rest of the 4:3 screen, the UI is now on the top of the scene in glorious 16:9 ratio.
>>745185909Why do subsequent versions keep increasing the size of the background? It makes everything look more bland.
>>745186815Neat
>>745183480A very common trend with all these remakes>complete artstyle change>less contrasted colors, texture, and detail>textbox overlays the character and background>higher resolutionKind of saddening to see the soul disappear.

>>745168924the mature and hardcore era
>>745192423the pc98 wasn't even intended for gaming, there were higher powered japanese computers better suited for gaming, but probably around 90% of people owned some model of pc9800 meaning if you didn't develop for it you were missing out on the majority of the pc market in japan. VNs found their home in that toaster dominant market.it's pretty interesting, up until windows 95, western computers simply couldn't get a foothold in japan because they struggled to overcome the language barrier letting jap computers be their own thing.
>>745199843Doesn't look like it to me.

>>745184027Aww, I absolutely adored Doukyusei. It's such a genuinely sex positive game that even my incel ass started to relate to the heroines.Whatever happened to the sequel? That was meant to be out like a year ago wasn't it? Any sign of a translation? Same for... Kakyusei? The spinoff.
>>745185428The Yu-No system is basically what they used in World End Syndrome isn't it? Thst game even had markings so you can tell and jot down where every character was day to day so imagining having to do all that manually just screams "use the gamefaqs"

>>745206252Some of later choices are intentionally misleading.>your slut friend wants to sell her used underwear for easy money>if you encourage her behavior it will raise her affection points, and the hint mode marked it as such, but if you choose them her affection point will be silently capped so you can never have a proper ending with her because she'll forever just see you as friend with benefits>if you scold her that she shouldn't do that because she's still a high school student and it will cause her problems later, she will get angry and leave, the next day she think thoroughly and thanks you for being the first person to tell her to stop, and (you) tell her that to hell with telling her just what she wants to hear>her affection point will be uncapped and now she gets serious with (you), stopped sleeping around, and you can get her ending. Also her H new scenes are now romantic.>You can "cheat" on her later because she's never officially your girlfriend until the end of the game. If you go on date with another girl, she just waits in front of your dorm room and smile, having no right to call (you) out because you're just doing what she's being doing before she gets serious with you, she just ask (you) if you're seeing another girl, quickly say sorry and she's just here to see your face, then walk away. You can still get her ending afterwards.

>>745183480Could someone who knows about anime and Japanese art explain to me why it's so common for modern anime to be very bright, with little contrast, sometimes even intentionally using a white filter or something?Anime from the past didn't follow this approach, I think. it's as if modern anime (at least from what I've seen) are trying to convey a "dreamlike" feeling (you know how in movies, a dream is depicted with a white filter, as if everything were shrouded in a mist).
>>745210186>>745210332Not sure if I'm ready for the 90s nostalgia pandering to end and the 2000s pandering to start in earnest.2005 was like 3 years ago and I can't be persuaded otherwise.

>>745189904Thats a double edged sword and you can end up with some pretty nasty scenarios thanks to it. Doukyuusei for example had the blue girl who you hit it off with, secure a date, and then she spends that entire date talking about her creepy nerd boyfriend who you convince her to cheat on. It also has... Oh god, I can't remember her name. The green oneesama? You chat her up on the street and secure a really nice date where she's quite high standards but that's fine. The issue is that she talks about an ex-boyfriend who got in a fight with another guy defending her and she lost respect for him cause he looked pathetic. Also she turned out to be a stalker lol
>>745168924Agreed. We need to go back to the 2000s

>>745220794Also I think she's a time-traveller that's trying to be inconspicuous and blend in but someone (not sure if it wasn't the MC?) told her that people just dress like that in modern times and she didn't call bullshit on it. Or something like that, it's been a while.

Everyone talking about graphics and artstyle.But you know what I also miss from the PC-98 era?THESOUNDTRACKSI fucking love how PC-98 VNs sound.
>>745220643?I'm sure that we do put it in while inside that locker.
>>745207907Man this actually sounds super interesting. I miss when heroines were allowed to be varied like this, anime and anime games as a whole have fallen into a wide spread Madonna-Whore complex where heroines are either so pure you can't get any mileage out of their relationships or total whores who only exist for sexual gratification.
>>745222894YU-NO's soundtrack is fucking magical.I miss the good old Yamaha FM synth.https://youtu.be/K-U2HutRzgA

>>745222946(YU-NO spoilers)In the bad ending where Takuya and Eriko get captured, you can see Eriko paralyzed the the background. Her breasts are out and there's blood coming out of her vagina, implying 1) Ryuuzouji rapes her and 2) She's was a virgin. She was saving herself for Abel.

Yep
>>745225227
>>745225072Both scenes are in the Mitsuki route. The bad ending is when you don't answer Eriko's questions correctly inside the shed and she kicks you out. The locker scene is skippable, but you are able to see both of them in the same continuity.
>>745222894>>745223559I gotta recommend this guy's channel.https://youtube.com/@japanpcmusicHe hasn't uploaded in months but he's got a lot of great shit.

>>745184994Weirdly enough, the PSP is the one major console platform that has adult VNs with all adult content fully intact. There's a port of the original Bible Black VN for PSP with no cut content.The trick is that they're not actually native PSP games, they're UMD videos so essentially an entire visual novel ported over to DVD menus

>>745227817Yeah man gotta cover those rotors
VNs are practically becoming dead now sadly. Too much piracy plus not enough places to actually pay for them plus visa/mastercard breathing down everyones necks over shit, and new laws making things illegal.
>>745228994You can thank gacha for that shit
>>745189870Japs classify a lot according to bubble era, not literally just the time period. For example they might talk about how OLs looked during the bubble era, maybe anon meant that.
>>745228994I'd pay but VNs were like patient zero for shitty ideologue translators and they were never distributed well overseas. I think fundamentally it's too good an idea to fully die. More visuals and life than a light novel, yet cheaper to produce than an anime. It'll always have an indie appeal because a talented enough team can put out a good product even with low budget
>>745168924i love this sluti would play the game only for her
>>745214113>Thats a double edged sword and you can end up with some pretty nasty scenarios thanks to it. I dont mind this there random girls he hits up on the street, what do you expect? Also both of them turn out to have been kinda stalking him for sometime, especially green, who not only is hit up by him at random in a random location, but gives you a lot of shit to actually get her to go out with you. I found that so weird I wonder if they felt like it softened the blow or something that they had boyfriends already.
>>745228994Tbh there aren't that many "new" VN's that I particularly want to play. If the games were to truly dry up then I'd probably be happy figuring out how to get an auto translate AI set up and play kooky 00's or 90's games instead.
>>745208440>>745207976I prefer haniwa.
>>745231109It certainly stuck with me, just not the best way. I remember being quite intrigued by her route from just how casual and realistic the hookup was. You chat up a stranger, arrange a casual coffee date, arrange a proper date at the cinema and for drinks. I genuinely wish more games pushed healthy sexual and dating culture like this game cause I really could have used something like this growing up. I'm very excited for the second game getting a translation, remake or not I'll shill this series till the cows come home.

>>745189212It may surprise you to learn that a lot of mathematicians are not very good at arithmetic. Being able to sum large numbers in your head is a parlor trick. Being able to solve difficult novel problems is a skill.
>>745234316All companies are like that these days in Japan. The Dirty Pair blurays released by Bandai even edited red crosses to green and removed blink-and-you-miss it references to shows Bandai didn't own.
>>745234602Weirdest part is instead of giving muv luv fans what they want they keep making weird spinoffs that don't sell.
Blessed thread.I love drawing pencil tool style art in limited resolution, but can't figure out how the fuck one actually does the dithering part
>>745235472They were standard feature in older paint programs, even MSpaint had it pre-Win7
>>745227725PC98 is literally the platform equivalent of that Earthbound meme. People only care about muh dithering and the music, or proving otherwise
>>745222894Not the games?
>>745235472Back in the day they drew a normal picture and then reduced it down to 16 colors and then used error diffusion or ordered dithering and then cleaned the result. A human drawing dithering manually would quickly go insane unless it was a repeating pattern like a sky gradient or something.
>>745235464I don't think anybody involved in MLU/A is even there anymore
>>745235754Not sure of what you mean by that
I'd genuinely like to know how Muv Luv managed to have so much soul and animation in their character sprites in 2003 and yet nowadays it's a genuine miracle if we have blinking. The only other games that come to mind are Nekopara, my degenerate ass genuinely squees whenever they pop their heads in from off-screen, and the Neptunia RPGs have lively sprites too.It's a little thing but it adds so much life to a game yet is never utilised outside of boob physics.
>>745222894There are still some people making FM music for fun.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1nngpeus6Y
>>745235598>implying it's only dithering people give a shit about and not the entire style that's completely goneI will admit a lot PC98 games with great art suck ass though. Would rather replay them than earthbound though.
>>745235472dither brushes, or one at a time. i depended. >>745235761most of the time they were just scanning in line work. there is a pretty start contrast when they scan in a full color image and clean it up imo.
>>745235958I think it's just budgets collapsing to nil. Gachas still have what you're mentioning... but they're fucking gachas.
>>745235805I never got around to Alternative. I adored Extra so much but found Unlimited a boring, edgy mess. I also really missed Sumika and wanted her back.Unlimited had some seriously stupid storylines going... I remember getting so pissed at Meiya's story where we destroy our expensive and supremely limited giant mechs all cause some boomer didn't want to evacuate. Unlimited was too long too. I simped for the bro chara Mikoto and since his storyline is first I thought you'd get a different training event for each girl, just to realise that I'd have to sit through them one by one for each character then reset for the h-scenes.
>>745236264If you didn't like Unlimited you'll fucking hate Alternative. I liked both even with all their flaws though.
>>745187734>non-artists complaining about the 3D modelIt's a quick way to make sure your perspective is correct. It's not like he even traced the model, it's just there for proper positioning and perspective. Take shortcuts so you can spend your time on the more important stuff.
>>745236375It's only really a problem for the guy making the art if he had to do something that isn't human. I don't know why people are complaining about it.
>>745235958>how Muv Luv managed to have so much soul and animation in their character sprites in 2003 and yet nowadays it's a genuine miracle if we have blinkingrUGP aka why àge's older VNs crashes all the time on modern windows despite being a fucking VN. Àge has their own engine to run their VN and it allows them to do animate their sprites beyond even L2D shit, but if you try to play their VNs on modern os without virtual machine, shit crashes all the time.
>>745236192this image is kinda hurts the eyes, but it does demonstrate that the software they were using at the time was capable of filling in areas with pretty complex dither paterns
>>745236485Mitsuko is objectively hotter in that one CG
>>745235472well is a tool even in most imageboards you can still do it just open the tegaki option if you have 4chanxlike this shitty drawing i made
>>745228994I think VN's are going to have a revival eventually, but it will most likely be in the west.
>>745237492Your shitty is better than 99.9% of what the userbase is capable of
>>745231481I felt the same when i played itmade me want to go out and hit up girls toomaybe if i played this when i was 19 instead of YU-NO I would have done it back then, i was more like the protagonist back thenat least in terms of being young and perpetually horny and not being as reserved as i am now oh well
>>745231481I do wonder how we went from that kind of story, to moebuta stuff where if the girl even mentions knowing the name of another boy in her life it's NTR and needs a trigger warning.I don't want to resort to the old "men are softer than they used to be", there must be a more coherent reason
>>745192293what a horse face
>>745237520Yeah it will be a soulless husk of a revival that's for sure.
>>745237875Insecurity.Modern men are spineless pathetic losers. Especially Japanese Otaku's to which the entire industry is catered.
Old Falcom >>>>>>> New Falcom
>>745174647They're actually coming out with a new Strip Majohng soon!It's 3d and VR though.
>>745238014Nah. If it blows up you'll get a initial wave of crazy popularity and creativity. A lot of major authors will try their hand at it, a lot of new authors will become big making VN's. Japan will try and fail to revive a lot of old properties to appeal to the new western fans. Eventually though the whole thing will largely just end up like modern books insofar that only Women read fiction.
>>745238024Yeah but people have been saying that about the younger generation practically since the beginning of time. And surely the audience for PC-98 games were still Japanese otaku. So what made their preferences change from the 80s/90s to the 2000s and further?
I played this these days.It is a game that tries to emulate the style of PC-98 games, it also tried to make an ost similar to FM synth.It was... OK.Not great, it was also pretty short and ended with a sequel hook, but has many different routes to reach the ending, though the ending itself never changes.It is a start, but really it should be the Japanese reviving this genre, not westerns. Because even western fans of old VNs can't help themselves, and included a non-bynary character in it of fucking course.
>>745238191I think the animations looked really good. And apparently it's full 18+ so no censors like the old ones
>>745238414I'll buy it for the tomboy girl alone.
>>745238234>And surely the audience for PC-98 games were still Japanese otaku. Yes and no. I do genuinly think that while generations don't change, fandoms do. Otaku's of today are not the same people they were decades ago. Mostly because being into anime has been normalized to the point that you have to be a serious freak to still call yourself a Otaku.It's like how Marvel becoming popular means that actual comic book fans had to double down on being weird freaks.
>>745238234probably because the industry got bigger and it became easier to get shit that directly caters to your escapist fantasies, and either you want a pure virgin gf or you don't.
My beautiful skeleton wife Hiro!
>>745214113The kakyuusei one is pretty wild.>co-worker from part time job>you caught her going out with a man>she lies and tell (you) that she doesn't>if you call out her bullshit she cuts you off from her life>if you keep chill about it, you later find out she's an escort at a bar to pay her college fee>once again if you chide to her lying to (you) she cuts you off from her life>she later gets harassed by one of her customer>save her>after all of this, if you tell her to stop whoring, she will still cut you off from her life, you have to let her keep whoring herself to get her ending, while you date her on her free timeWhat the fuck is this shit?
>>745236327I'm not sure if it was the formatting that killed it for me. There's nothing wrong with going through everyone's routes, I'd already done that in extra, but forcing us to go through a six character roulette with no breaks sucked... And again the stories really sorta blew. Mikoto's is the only one I can say I genuinely enjoyed. Inchou went from having an amazing Extra route that delved into her personality, self image, and showed her raw emotions seep through, in Unlimited she gets addicted to a gatcha game....
What's the simplest way to play games like these?
>>745238950Well just cut her off your life and go for another girl then.
>>745239076just look up the screencaps on porn sites
>>745239076Be born in Japan in the 80s or earlier
>>745239164That's not what I asked you cock enjoyer!
>>745237765How is Yu No btw? I dig the character designs but I'd heard about how silly the ending gets and don't want to waste my evenings grinding a 40 hour vinnie just for zero satisfying payoff or things to remember from it
>>745238234I'm guessing that back in the 90s, nerds, even the biggest ones, couldn't seclude themselves on the internet like they can now. More exposure to adult relationships that aren't perfect and crystalline. Seems like more and more people these days just don't particularly like the opposite sex. And fantasy can fill that void. Well, it can't, but it can make the pain go away for a while.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UGbOqadHb0
>>745173134https://refuge.tokyo/pc9801/adventure.html
>>745227725EXAPUNK *guitar solo*
>>745239236Oh don't play it for the payoff, the journey itself is extremely memorable, but the final payoff is shit imo.
>>745237875It's idol culture no? Back then NTR wasn't an issue cause the idols and fans were on a totally different level, idols were seen as beyond dating and drama and hookups. It's like back then they were seen as unrealistic anyways but now they're seen as regular girls and held to account for their fame and wealth. I dunno... I grew up with the latter so I'm used to the rule of "don't associate with males" and don't think much of it.
>>745239236It's a great game. The ending is not really the point though. It's definitely a journey-not-the-destination game.
>>745238050New Falcom is fucking great lol XD I've actually had my interest in gaming revived two separate times by Falcom games. First was picking up Trails of Cold Steel and falling in love with the amount of character interactions and the party flexibility, a total breath of fresh air coming from Persona 5 (vanilla) which felt like a watered down Atlus rpg.Then years later when I'm in another slump I find myself on the other end playing Ys 1 and getting drawn in by the adventure and pacing. To this day I think of Adol when I think of a heroic video game lead.
>>745227725I played this one thanks to some /v/ threads a while back. Did not disappoint. Dinoschizokino.
>>745238191Wtf? This looks just like that one shmup, GameTengoku?
>>745238950There was defo a female writer who slid that route in lol XD Wtf? The prostitute in 1 was at least kinda based and owned up to what she was doing.
>>745239076Emulate and use a screen translator tool. Or pray that it has a windows re-release lol. Most of the time I get my pc98 vinnies from YouTuber essays, beggers can't be choosers but not all of them are like Amelie Doree and take ten minute trauma dump segments constantly XD
>>745239256>I'm guessing that back in the 90s, nerds, even the biggest ones, couldn't seclude themselves on the internet like they can now. More exposure to adult relationships that aren't perfect and crystalline.Yeah that's probably it. Same reason gamers are hypersensitive about content nowadays in general I guess, or treat fictional characters like real people. "Terminally online" appears to be an accurate term since the phenomenon seems lethal and irreversible.The more immersed otaku could become in the fictional stories, the more sensitive they became to perceived friction, until the market fully optimizes itself into either fluffy purity pandering or hardcore orc rape ryona NTR with no inbetweenI guess the age of digital distribution kind of fixed this problem though, since now any guy with $100 and a dream can publish his own personal eroge that does whatever he wants
>>745239648Oh yeah man I sure like the same two games OVER and OVER
>>745239236YU-NO is excellent. Don't be psyopped into not playing it because of people bitching about the ending. The ending isn't even bad, it's just... well you'll see why it's divisive. But as other anons said, the game is more than its ending. YU-NO is enthralling all the way through.
>>745237875I remember there was a guy making an h-game on ci-en or some shit and when he mentioned there was gonna be an optional corruption route moebutas lost their fucking minds.
>>745231481>>745237765I get what you both mean too. I'm a perma-wizard but playing old VNs makes me feel like I have a chance. It feels like there's a whole world of women out there just waiting for me to go out and meet them. If I'd know about these games as a teenager I probably would have done it.Maybe all the losers need is a good example to follow.
>>745232883Why can't they just go with the old uniform design?
>>745239035The "routes" in unlimited are barely even routes.
>>745235958The sprite animations really impressed me too.
>>745238246Are any of these old mahjong games translated? Might be interesting to play one.Though I guess I'd have to learn to play mahjong.
>>745238246This reminds me of the card game in Sakura Wars
>>745238950I guess it's realistic in the sense that not every girl is going to be someone you're actually compatible with. Whores exist and the game gives you the option of dating one, but you can also drop her and go after one of the others instead.You can afford to do this when your game has like 14 girls to choose from.
>>745242516It's one thing to have a body count but it's a whole other level of whore to still be a prostitute while dating a guy.
>>745241904Are you going to let this smug bitch koi-koi all over you like that?
>>745241904>>745243000Why can't all chinese girls look like this?
>>745243000I actually didn't, I beat them all at the card game eventually. Maria best girl though.
>>745243074Life is pain that's why
>>745239648Ys help revive my interest once before too.
>>745168924Novice weeb here. What's she saying? I know the first line is Anata, but what does the rest mean? I can read purodyuu but I don't know what it means
What I learned by looking at the images on this thread is that japs just hate shadows. They acquired an obsession with gloom and bright colors/light
>>745243589>Are you... the producer?Producer being the title of the player character in idol games.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrUoGJfhMoE
>>745243074This is a Chinese girl (PC98 style)
>>745242996If she stops whoring, with what money she pays her college tuition with? The protagonist is part timing, and she's probably a part timer too from what the post said. You don't have to date her, but just telling her to stop whoring without providing any job alternative seems insensitive to me.
>>745243589Producer>You're [the] producer?lit>Producer is the person you are?
>>745243670That's a wild way to say producer, damn.
Just let it go unc
>>745168924>We need to return to the golden era of Japanese gaming.I have no idea if it will be actually good but Needy Girl Overdose's creator nyalra is making an actual VN that comes out in 3 days(?)He is absolutely obsessed with that "golden era of Japanese gaming" so it might be worth checking out
>>745243764Why is producer spelled like that? Wouldn't プロヅス be closer?
>>745243894PU (like poo) - RO (like roe) - DYUU (pronounced like dew) - SA (like SAL but with no L)You have to imagine it like how a japanese guy would say it.What you wrote would bePU - RO - JI (like gee, G) - SU (like sue), PUROJISU.
>>745243776Figuring out western loan words by their batshit insane Japanese pronunciations is an underrated difficultly of learning Japanese.Try speaking them out loud quickly a few times, usually it clicks.
Who did you choose in True Love 95?
>>745244191i chose to rape the green haired girl and drive her to suicide, to memory.
>>745244191Mikae because childhood friend is auto win for me.
>>745244191Pink haired tsundere is impossible for me to not pick
>>745243806He's gen Z so his nostalgia is miscalibrated. It's like that anime a few years ago, uhh, Magical Destroyers. It's for a different generation, the people that grew up with streamers and e-girls and mobile talking about what it means to be an otaku after otakudom died. It's good that he's trying, but temper your expectations from a guy that wasn't alive for the things he's writing about. This stuff tends to ring really hollow to me, but maybe I'm too cynical.
>>745231069The game is fine at the start but the devs clearly have no idea what they're doing anymore and the millisecond you hit endgame it becomes an irredeemable slog. You'd be much better served just watching translations of the girls' stories you're interested in on youtube
>>745243806>Needy Girl OverdoseMore appealing to teenage girls than anything else. You're insane for bringing this up here.
>>745245039Games for teenage girls are wildly popular on /v/ though.
>>745245075True
>>745245039Kinda odd how often /v/'s tastes align with melodramatic overly emotional unstable girls desu.
>>745195483Anon-kun, how do you know so much about old PC graphic images? Can you teach this ignorant one?
>>745244191The rich hime cut girl
>>745244191Arisa easily
>>745244191used good
I was expecting a hiro thread but this was good too
>>745187734>Needing a 3D model for thisWhat a waste of time lol. Oh well.
>>745244009Ah, that makes more sense.
nicethreadnow that ai is good enough im gonna hook xenon and see if it's any good
Good thread
>>745248251The boobs got bigger, but my interest has been lessened.
>>745244191>True Love 95Should I play that or the original version?
>>745247648You don't have to go through hook shenanigans. This game has a proper English patch now.
Was it even possible to release a PC-98 game that wasn't pure sovl?
>>745248809Trust me, the library is full of low effort, shitty games. People just don't post screenshots of them.
>>745248809
>>745248705Get the game from herehttps://github.com/OldCorpo/Xenon-PC98-Tools/tree/corpo/tl-testing/gameThe master branch on GitHub has an older version. The tl-testing branch has the download you want to use. That isn't obvious just by looking at the project page, so I thought I'd mention it here.
>>745249018This old game thing where it's all in katakana is fucking eyerape. I have no idea what this says unless I read it like I'm 3 years old
>have to download an emulator to play these old games No thanks
>>745244009Ah I see, that was meant to be DU. I didn't know it was an outdated way to write it.
>>745244191Never played. Any of them virgins?
>>745189904People who like sluts are homosexual. You aren't even getting off to a woman at that point, you're getting off on the idea of forming a spiritual and emotional connection to hundreds of other dudes via a "shared" sexual experience with a woman that you all only have a physical connection with. Either that or they literally WANT to be the cock carousel themselves, autogynephilia plays a big role in "slut transformation" and "bimbofication" stuff. Either way if you're into this you're some kind of queer. Thank God Japanese saw the light and created virgindb so I can filter oit this trash.
>>745250580I just want to fix a slut so she can connect with people again and then backstab and cheat on her so she learns how disgusting the slutty thing she has done until now.
