Road to Empress II editionThis is a general to discuss FMV games created in Asian countries, mainly South Korea, China, and Japan.Previous: >>569650995
Here are the AFMV games releasing in July. Some of them still don't have a release day yet, they are just scheduled for July.Protagonist (Chinese) - July 15, 2026Sweet Hamster Days (Japanese) - July 17, 2026A Love Letter in Snowfall (Chinese) - July 2026Inner Scales 1: Choice (Chinese) - July 2026Heartybeat Cafe (Chinese) - July 2026
>>573093274Love Wu's actress and this costume choice by production
>>573094871Where did you get the date for Heartybeat Cafe anyway? I can't find anything on it, store page has no release date, I only see some minor updates on steamdb.
>>573096313I use this site for all my info. He actually keeps an eye on Chinese social media, so he reliably has release dates that have been announced but aren't on steam yet.https://fullmotionemotion.com/upcoming/
>>573096313Also>HeartybeatFuck, I meant to fix that typo the next time I posted the list. It's just Heartbeat Cafe.
>>573094871A hamster? That's so lame.>The release date for this live-action game where you are reincarnated as a pet hamster and get pampered by three beautiful sisters has been locked in for Friday, July 17th. The secrets of the three sisters, played by Sayaka Tomaru, Momoha Takatsuru, and Shiori Ikemoto, will finally be revealed!
>>573097846I see.>ETA July, 2026*Ah damn, hope it actually comes out.>>573098129It's okay, it doesn't even have an english title, 'interactive_movie' if you look it up on steamdb.https://steamdb.info/app/2998440/history/>>573099084Oh anon, you have no idea.
Post your waifu.
Anyone noticed Mal-sook has a small incision on her left ear?>>573101254I can't decide.
>>573101254
>>573101254For me, it's Bit-na.
Updates on Dating a Ghost fucking when?
>>573112149Speaking of the dead, still nothing from My Fame Game 2?
>>573112368They've been radio silent since the voting ended. They were supposed to announce the winners back on June 5, but their social media has been quiet.
>>573113371Pity. My dark horse winning got me interested, even if the first game looks... well, grotesque.
>>573113371all the winners of the voting were awful so they can take their time
Steam page when?
>>573122083
>>573122246Please be her.
Miss Maxim round 2 voting is over. Park Bo-rum advanced to the next round. Any of the 14 girls moving on to round 3 could end up in a future Storytaco game.
>>573096038Tummy fanservice should be mandatory in all FMVs.
>>573133123For some reason I thought the contest would go on for a few hours more, but I think the countdown the site showed me was set for 14:00 in my local time and not 14:00 Korean time.Ga-Eun made it through but fell hard towards the end finishing in the bottom of the advancements barely avoiding elimination. The cute redhead also made it through.
>>573139462>cute redheadShe's not.
>>573140963Slander, I'm going to petition Storytaco to include her in the next game.The important part is that Ga-eun made it through. Now she needs a good cosplay for the next round. If she falls into the succubus trap then she is going to get a one way ticket out of the contest.
>>573144272Is succubus cosplay not popular?
>>573144272she has it in the bag if salarywoman or highranked corporate executive can count as cosplay
>>573149846It's more that it is too popular. From what I've read in Korean social media is that the succubus cosplay is so common it is considered a staple of the Miss Maxim contest, but by being so common it is also viewed as uninspiring and boring when a contestant does it. Dayeon (from Summer's Heartbeat and Beauties and the Stranded) was a favorite to win the contest when she participated and placed very high in the first two rounds, but in round 3 she did a succubus cosplay and was swiftly eliminated. She also wasn't the only contestant that year with a succubus cosplay and they were all eliminated in round 3.But last year a succubus cosplay won round 3, so who knows really. I guess how many other contestants do a similar cosplay can affect things greatly.
>>573102597>Anyone noticed Mal-sook has a small incision on her left ear?I never noticed it until now. I wonder if she had an ear ring that got pulled out.
>>573139462>The cute redhead also made it through.
>>573139462Eww why was there a mid ukrainian larping as a korean?
>>573160071yuck
>>573163513Be nice, she is probably a future Storytaco girl.
>>573160351Even in Korea you can't escape diversity. But the Koreans seems to like her as she did advance to the third round. If Storytaco needs a foreign girl for an upcoming game they'll likely turn to her.
>>573139462Now we wait until the end of August for round 3.
>>573170448I don't think I've seen a Korean FMV with a non-Korean girl yet. Chinese games love white girls though.
>>573181616The red hair witch girl is nice, but the chinese girl is really cute. Surprisingly decent cast.
>>573183531>but the chinese girl is really cute. Which one?
>>573189518she
>>573183531These FMVs have really turned me around on Chinese women
>>573198041absolutely perfect threesome
When is the Five Hearts DLC page going up?
>ADR stands for Automated Dialogue Replacement (also called Additional Dialogue Recording).>It's a film and game production technique where actors re-record their dialogue in a studio after filming, rather than using the audio captured live on set.>>573206810We don't know.
>>573214272I get why they use ADR, it makes shooting at locations easier because you don't have to worry about noise from the area. It can be really noticeable if the dubbing isn't synched properly.
>>573214272Dayeon is really cute.
>>573229193You get to go to Chinajoy, but you can only meet one girl from Five Hearts and one girl from Summer's Heartbeat. Which two girls do you choose to meet.
>>573235013Malsook and Dayeon. I would shit my pants if I looked Gran in the eyes.
>>573235013Gran and Dayeon.
>>573160071Why do so many asians have puffy bags under their eyes?
>>573094871A Love Letter in Snowfall seems interesting. I don't think I've seen any other FMVs with only 1 heroine.
I love Chen Man.
>>573254461It's an aesthetic trend in East Asia for some reason
>>573266178Well I don't like it.
Did you buy anything during the steam summer sale?
>>573276107I only bought Revenge on Gold Diggers. I still have to 100% Five Hearts 2 and Beauties and the Stranded, and I bought a few FMVs on sale a while ago I still haven't played yet.
>>573280475>bought Revenge on Gold DiggersBased
>>573300109Unreal and unfair.
>>573286274For me, it's Eun-bi.
Bring her back.
>>573276107Got Heartbeat in Thailand and Lethal Eden sitting in my cart waiting for more FMVs to join, but this summer sale turned out pretty underwhelming for me.
Too Hot to Be True having another update, all videos replaced, 68MB net positive. Wonder if they're working on the ADR.https://steamdb.info/app/4579710/history/?changeid=37105552
>>573333692I'm glad it seems they got everyone back for the dlc.
>>573331318That'd be nice. It was really out if sync.
>>573326325>ywn come home to thiswhy go on, anons
>>573305826True
This is the list of fmv developers I managed to keep a track of, just in case one of these indies update with a 2nd game.The bottom 5 are indies with just 1 game published before they bailed out of the market.Mystery Crown is a.i. sloppa, but he has an interesting imouto raising FMV which sounds very cute and I'm going to try it one day.RainbowGame and the studio behind the Sifu Kidnapped! game appears to legit indie studios who had some success and managed to expand into 3 games each.And then there is these 3 big mess, they are all connected somehow, but each page is missing a few games the other 2 pages don't have, so it's ridiculously annoying to keep up with this trio-group's updates(This one doesn't have SubZero and Knowledge, or know Lady like the other two) https://store.steampowered.com/developer/shanyuhai(This one doesn't have The Vig and Three Kingdom's Rebirth like the other two) https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=%E8%92%B8%E6%B1%BD%E6%BB%A1%E6%BB%A1%E5%B7%A5%E4%BD%9C%E5%AE%A4(This one doesn't have Rebooted Fate and Ladies, Don’t Tempt My Immortality like the other two) https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/yxfKeeping an eye on these 3 shitters is going to kill my brain.
>>573093274Should have just named the thread Yellow Fever General.
>still no sign of mal-sook in the dlcShould we be worried?
Reminder that Don't Fool Me Beauties is Storytaco's best game.
Which FMV games are the top 3 that gave you the biggest boners?
>>573368508Knowledge or know lady, Ladies dont tempt my immortality, basically any game with Chen Man.
>>573368508Only three to be honest: Gran's route in the first 5 Hearts and Selena & Chen Man in Knowledge or KnowThe others are good and fun but did not elicit a visceral boner reaction
>>573371979>>573372283Nice suggestions. I'm looking for some really good tease/seduction, I will give those a closer look.
>>573331318Anybody replay the demo to see what was changed?
Is Sweet Hamster Days the only Japanese FMV for the rest of the year?
>>573364368Well, we've seen her filming presumably 3, what are the odds she'd skip the DLC?>>573378309I meant to try the bitrate bump update and never got around it, I'll check later. Might not remember enough to notice any ADR changes though.
>>573368508Wang Han was ridiculously seductive even though her character didn't have much of a story at all in KokL. Need to get around playing LiAA2 just for her.
Alright, I was vagueposting last time so let's be more direct. Final hours of the sale, suggestions?>>573359156I still don't understand how this stuff works, in reviews I've seen devs and crew who shot the games credited separately, it's confusing.
>>573400608I bought To Be In Love With Girls Group because it was only 99 cents. I know nothing about it, but I figured I'd buy it since it was so cheap.
>>573391174>>573397098Why are this woman's breasts always popping out? She needs a new shtick.
>>573403354If you buy an expensive car you drive it where people can see it.
Beauties For Help On the Island english release when?
>>573400608I recommend this onehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4225940/SIFU_Kidnapped_Adventure_in_the_Womens_Kingdom/The woman in red is ridiculously seductive.
>>573417934if china wants my loyalty they will send her to my home to be my spywife
Apparently Chen Man and Wang Hai streamed playing these games on Bilibili and some dude uploaded videos with English subs. I was afraid of simping too hard for Chen Man so I watched Wang Han's. Now I want to marry her.
>>573425424>the chen man streams are members onlyI will never forgive you for telling me these exist but I have to pay money to see them.
Storytaco games are on sale on GOG.
>>573437884>mfw this publisher is so expensive, their 50% off is just the regular price of a standard FMV
>>573437884>don't fool me beauties was just $5 on steam>isn't marked down at all on gog
>>573439971I noticed that too but I think this time it wasn't left out intentionally. If you check the games' pages their current discounts are ending today, the ad is mentioning 9th to 19th and explicitly featuring DFMB. Doubt the stupid polaks sorted out my payment issues, but I'll try again.
It's actually wild that most of their FMV games are €20, and they have millions of downloads on Android,but only pay their actresses 600 dollars each.This behaviour is reminding me of a certain group...
>>573438585$15 - $20 isn't unreasonable. Chinese FMVs are just insanely cheap. The people making Chinese FMVs must be getting paid pennies if companies can charge $10 or less for a new FMV.
>>573447612I would like to know the business of it because most production values are good and the actresses hot and somewhat talented yet the games are cheap
>>573431493Yeah plus the full stream of Wang HanAnnoying but the guy did translate & sub the whole thing
>>573451956You mean the CN games?It's because they sell in massive volumes inside China on their CN platforms.If I recall correctly the Black Myth Wukong game wass 60 dollar on steam back when all the other publishers demanded 70/80 dollars. But in CN it was 40 dollars or something crazy like that, it just sold by sheer volume.
>>573452978No, the FMV games
>>573451956>yet the games are cheapI heard if you're indy developer in China you are considered bottom of society. That means you get free apartments, you never have to worry about rent, and there are subsidised canteens nearby you can grab nice dinners for a few bucks.So you can actually develop vidya games on shoestring budgets if you have the talent and ambitions. In return the indies over there also tend to offer their games for cheap to their communities.Those who have higher ambitions pay for a studio apartment, might even take loans to get higher budget productions, you can tell who they are, suddenly their FMV games are €17, not that far off from the Korean developers.
>>573439971Bit-na love.
>>573403354Hottest white girl in a Chinese FMV.
Did anybody play the Locked in Love demo a few weeks ago? Does that game seem like it will be good?
Still no Steam page for the Five Hearts DLC.
>>573454361>That means you get free apartments, you never have to worry about rent, and there are subsidised canteens nearby you can grab nice dinners for a few bucks.What the fuck, I should move to China.
>>573487717That's only for natives Anon. Also I bet it's shameful to them in some way.
>>573494814My boner when I saw this ending lasted for 3 days
>>573512759>sigh>unzip
What kind of name is Gran Dong?
Damn, I didn't win the Beauties and the Stranded giveaway.

>>573549373>TheyThe*
>dayeon was in an fmv back in 2024What the hell?
>>573550051That's a great way to find more games of interest.Sadly mine has only been featured in 1 game.
Oh cool, you can sort the actors by who has been in the most games. I'm not surprised Chen Man is at the top.
>>573094871>Protagonist (Chinese) - July 15, 2026I will play it for her.
Oh, I get it now. A lot of the actresses only have 1 role in 1 game because it's cheaper to hire someone with no experience.That's how they can keep the budgets low, they always scout after new girls with low experience who are willing to debut for cheap.
https://www.douyin.com/video/7653776005887379450Why are they still behaving like IRL thots...I thought they would become more pure after they dress up nicely.
>>573554271She's in it? Insta-purchase
>>573554271>>573558526holy shit shes back
Uh huh
Storytaco is doing a second Too Hot to Be True demo review event. They are giving away 30 more free copies of the game. It is open from July 10th to July 16th.
>>573555139Most companies only make one game then dissappear. The studios that make multiple games often rehire the same gorls.
>>573580006>Most companies only make one game then dissappear.That's really sad.Perhaps they are abusing some sort of startup fund from the government.
>>573580187Not everything is some conspiracy. FMVs blew up in China, a bunch if people thought it seemed like easy money, then they released bad games that nobody bought. Even in this thread it is the same handful of games from the same handful of devs that make up 90% of the posts.
>>573582528If they move to new careers outside of computer games, then I wish them good luck.But if they are simply changing to other genres of video games, then we should have seen these developers launch multiple games of difference genre in ther steam developer account.Instead we just see a lot of developers with just 1 FMV game. that's suspicious.
>>573583048A lot of these 1 and done studios are just chasing trends expecting their first game to be a big hit that propels them forward. They put everything they have into their first game, it flops, then they have no money and shut done.
>>573584312>chasing trendsSo you learn to use Unity engine, try your luck 1 time, then go away and try a new education?
>>573585174Yes, that's what happens when you bet all your money on a trend that has games coming out almost weekly. You make no money them have to get a factory job making iphones.
>>573589303That sounds a bit nonsensical.I think it's more likely that these games are a form of graduation project, and effectively something you can put on CV and join larger developers.
>>573546271I like how for each game you can vote for a best girl.
>>573594139It turns out our waifus are all popular TikTok thots...
Does China/Korea have name-equivalents to a "Stacy"?
>>573594139There's also just actress likes. Wang Han and the girl who plays Avril actually have 1 more like than Chen Man, who has one more than Malsook, who has one more than Gran & Doctor. That is nuts haha.
>>573546271The race is on.GO MAL-SOOK GO
so how does someone who is not chinese view these actresses douyins
>>573610542vpn
>>573602454What is the difference between liking a girl or following a girl? Does it actually do anything or is it just there to have to separate ways to organize the actresses you like?
>>573623074I think if you follow then the website will let you know if there's an update to her page
>>573610396wang han annihilates everyone in crowns
>>573623746>gran only has 2 crowns>both are from me
>>573626675Then the other is me. I gave the FH2 crown to Malsook so I remain undecided between the two.
>>573610542>>573615293>view these actresses douyinsYou can just view them without logging in.Press x in the upper right corner when popup ask you to log in, and voila you no longer have to log in.Dang, you guys didn't know this?
Why is Japan lagging behind when it comes to FMVs?
>>573645236That hamster FMV is so cringe I got second-hand embarrassment from watching the trailer.
>>573645236Japan is generally not competitive unless they somehow get favouratism from steam like the way Sony used to give them better deals than the rest of the world.Spoiler: Steam will never give them favouratism.
>>573645236Wait a minute... those dates1 game in 19941 game in 19961 game in 20082 games in 20191 game in 20221 game in 20244 games in 2025Japan is cocked.
>>573094871A Love Letter in Snowfall is releasing on July 23rd.
God I love Chen Man. I hope Inner Scales is good, but the premise doesn't leave me hopeful. Also I'm still mad about Steam taking down Dating a Ghost.
https://fullmotionemotion.com/hua-manlou-listed-on-steam/This one is interesting.It's very similar to Tales of Herding Gods donghua, where the protagonist is in charge of dance hall, smith hall, brewing hall, and 300 other halls. And they all have assassination/espionage specialty.
Positive points: Assassination plot. Attempts to refresh the genre with what appears to be streetfighter esqe minigame. Looks good overall. You can tell the game director has a desire to stand out, and look like a different FMV game than the other FMV games.Neutral points: Very brutal, you're waifus will be tortured and beaten to death if you misguide them, and all the brutal scenes are all recorded for you to see, very good for sadist players, but it's going to be heavy and intense for normal players.Negative points: Rap music promotion...I mean, I understand why they do it, it makes them really stand out and noticed, but making a bunch of chinese princesses do nigger rap just gives me the cringe.
>>573663632Sex
>>573645236Not enough JAV stars in their FMVs.
>>573673663>you're waifus will be tortured and beaten to deathPicked up
>>5736522322027 will be the year of JFMVs.
>>573633454I never went to the site. I always assumed no Chinese site was available without a vpn.
>>573704964You can view their thots, you just can't create an account and post videos there.https://www.douyin.com/video/7598413791164813199
>>573626675I don't know how crowns work. She has 5 on Five Hearts 1, but only 2 on the actors section.
You guys decide to be the most active while I'm away.>>573645236>Blue Chicago BluesI mean, sure, but it's basically an american production. And in that case, I Will should be there too.>>573411312Knew that girl looked familiar, was watching that game yesterday. MTL mod came out, reads alright from what I've seen.https://steamcommunity.com/app/3531160/discussions/0/567038823751734196/
Chief needs to be in more games.
>>573728110So these are set pics from Five Hearts 3, right?
>>573766281She should have gotten a route.
The start if July has been a slog. No new games. No news. Just a whole lot of nothing.
I just want yellow fever satisfaction.
>>573656531No way this one delivers, right? The pitch sounds way too ambitious.
>>573789081To me it just seems like they are marketing it hard. Because there is only one heroine she can have more branching paths, so they are promoting it like the story can go a million different ways.
Winter Trip DLC page fucking when?
>>573734935>>573743510>>573750128She's so cute. Apparently she is going to be filming 2 games this year.
FMVs released in 2025Chinese language 88English language 8Korean language 6Japanese language 4This is China's developer-boom era.
>>5738100203 or those 6 Korean FMVs were from Stoytaco. There are 5 Korean FMVs that have released or are scheduled to release in 2026, and Storytaco accounts for 3 of them again.
>https://fmvdb.com/games/falling-in-love-with-stockings
>>573821709>This game does not include romantic elements or a gripping storyline.I HATE GRAVUREI HATE GRAVUREI HATE GRAVURE
>>573833545Too many games use gravure as a crutch. They think weak writing and a gravure shoot is all it takes to make a successful FMV.
I only have 10 bucks to splurge right now.Can you guys recommend games where the girls are very tsundere in a mean but teasing way?Like like girls who does the "Hmph!!!" attitude a lot and pretend they are upset.
post em
The surprise gift is Gran's worn panties.
Wang Han is so fucing cute
