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
>>573845117Left or right?
>>573889147Right
>>573889147Right. I like Avril's actress, but Wang Han is one of the best girls in FMVs.
>>573112149Never ever.
>>573573859>>573609860I already won in the first one. Hope the anon who missed the deadline for the last one sees this.
>>573889147Left. Wen is always on succubus mode so it doesn't hit as hard, Lin doing it is fresh and exciting.>>573917217Appreciate the gesture.
Oh yeah, and about the THTBT demo: Big boost in bitrate, but I'm having a hard time noticing if they actually improved the ADR sync, maybe for the tall girl? And on my second round, the childhood friend's lines sound even weirder, like they were recorded not on a booth.
Don't know what sort of ironic weeaboo hell this is supposed to be, but I never saw this pic of my wife so I'm posting it.>We’re excited to announce that Storytaco K-FMVs will participate in Nutaku Publishing's Steam Third-Party Fest Waifu Gala, taking place from July 27 to August 11, 2026!>During the event period, we’ll be preparing special discounts and limited-time events for our players.>More details will be announced soon, so please stay tuned and look forward to what’s coming!https://waifugala.com/
>>573546271This site is actually incredibly useful. It was so hard to find cast lists for these games before. Like I never would have known Yu-na was in a game before she was Five Hearts 2 if I didn't look at her page on this site.
Most of those games really bring in the PD of the 3DPD.
>>573935736Same, it's let me discover the social media for all these women and it's great. Turns out Evie is a tum slut.
there appears to be some vote fuckery afoot on the fmvdb website

>>574048336>wang han>granGood taste.
Is Too Hot To Be True the next big game release?
>>574080435Thanks but I think a lot of our answers are the same because the stand-out girls stand out. It might be more interesting to do top 5s.
>>574088245I doubt many people here have played more that 5 games.
>>574093568Girls. Top 5 girls.
>>574093568As a newcomer who entered the thread recently it looks suspicious as fuck, lol.This general can't have more than 5 residents max because it's constantly scraping at page 10. Also one of the polls we ran had 2 votes in it, I was the 3rd person in that poll at all.And the weird thing is people don't even show screenshots of the new games they are playing through.Which suggests to me people replay the same FMV game again and again and again every day,or they are just shilling, it every day.If it was more organic, you would have a multitude of screenshots from more than 3 different games each thread. if we are only 5 people in the thread.
>>574100709NGL I don't branch out. I've played the hits so I'm just waiting on the next Wang Han/Gran/Malsook/Chen Man to drop. If Ga-eun or Nikita or Andy get a next game I'm there too.
>>574102470It's the safe an reliable approach, like trusting a brand, and it's natural.But on the other hand you have to also understand actresses have expiration dates. As they grow older their looks often change for the worse, their value in the business drops. So fan favourites needs to be balanced with new blood too.
And sometimes a "hit" is generated by accident, because someone with mediocre tastes was proactive with their word-of-mouth and a small community like this can often generate "hits" this way.A "hit" doesn't always mean it's a good game. Sometimes it just means the memes were successful.
>>574100709To be fair, this general is for extremely niche games. Player numbers show that some of these games get thousands or even tens of thousands of players, but those are almost all from the games country of origin. Outside of Five Hearts Under One Roof, there hasn't really been a hit AFMV game in the English speaking part of the world. It's why these threads are heavily carried by Five Hearts posting and to a lesser extent general Storytaco discussion. The Miss Maxim competition where people were speculating over which girls competing could end up in a Storytaco game got more discussion than most recent releases.
Has Fame Game 2 announced the winners yet?
>>574075934What the fuck is iGamebuy? Is it Chinese?
>>574100709>recently it looks suspicious as fuck, lol.There just hasn't been much to discuss. No new releases have really been that interesting.
>>574125394Actually I can see from the database we get more than 100 releases per year.So it's not because there isn't enough games, it's because all of us only play 1 game at a time, and those who have completed the game refuse to play anything else until the same developer release a new game.
In my case it's because I'm pausing my current FMV game, and I'm busy paging through a gacha game to catch up in the current events.
>>574128567It's not that I refuse to play other games it's just summer is busy so I'm not playing many right now. I went from playing a couple a month to not playing any recently. I haven't even gotten all the endings in Beauties and the Stranded yet and I started that on release day.Storytaco games will always take priority to me, mainly because I think they handle their English subs better than Chinese games. I have a bunch of games in my library though that I want to play like Road to Empress, Dating 4 Girls, Game of Fate, and more.I would probably get through more if I didn't feel the need to 100% all of them.
>>574109059>The Miss Maxim competition where people were speculating over which girls competing could end up in a Storytaco game got more discussionBecause we're rooting on our girl Ga-eun
>>574088245Was gonna suggest that but at the time I didn't have a top 5.>>574093568Think I'm at 8?>>574100709Got here in April, bored and fooled into trying Five Hearts as the silly goofy dating sim only to end up gut punched, from there I took interest in the genre. Then I realized I was binging through these way too fast and setting myself up for a drought so I took a break, had to switch OS, found all my games had no problems EXCEPT for the AFMVs, set up a GPU passthrough VM which worked for an entire day, settled with needing to start over because I wasn't satisfied with my polluted getup and I've yet to do that.I'm no good at taking shots so I rarely try, I prefer making webms, also learned steam introduces some banding so I gave up. Also, I'm less strict with the dating sim aspect than most anons so there's less to talk about.Anyway, I recall that best taco game poll having 7 votes last time.>>574102470Think my main issue is I can't find a notable reviewer I resonate with, so basically I'm flying blind and going by looks which rarely pays off. Feels not many out there are put off by shallow harem hijinks while I'm looking for the touchy feely stuff emerging from that. The humor rarely lands for me too.
>>574133290>that I want to play like Road to EmpressThis is a trap.It's a bunch of Chinese femnoids who rated the game highly because it caters to women.That's one of the problems asian people have. They only play games others have rated top, but they have an almost blind trust in the rating.
>>574137552Road to Empress is phenomenal, it's a death simulator with loads of hot women and the production values are insane.
My must buy game for June was Dating a Ghost, and steam killed that game. For July it is Inner Scales, but that still doesn't have a solid release date yet.
>>574143047this is where im at too
>>574143047I'm eyeing Heartbeat Cafe if it actually happens this month. Hoping to get proven wrong about Love Letter in Snowfall, but still skeptical.
>>574146167The cast of Heartbeat Cafe seems good, and the premise of the MC working at a cafe and these are the girls he meets seems solid. I'm just hesitant about any game with more than 5 heroines. I personally think 4 is the sweet spot that lets each girl get enough room to breathe.
>>574152853Yeah I tried getting into Mr. Right Simulator but there were just too many. The first chapter ends with FIVE just being thrown at you.
>>574152853At this point I basically gave up seeking chemistry or girls exploring the attrition to establish their personality, I just hope for a good old 'pick a girl and focus on her mostly uninterrupted' ordeal or I end up bracing for boredom. Probably why Dating 4 Girls landed for me while FMV oldfags weren't very impressed.
You should try love begins with goodbye personally one of my favorites 4 love interest, in studio audio, unique location cause it’s filmed in Norway, and each girl has a unique storyline. Only problem I have is the last girl only has one chapter and another girl doesn’t have a proper ending that ends in chapter 5 but thats for story reasons that I won’t spoil
>>574157291Love Begins With Goodbye is on my wishlist. I like how China does some FMVs in other countries.
>>574161720Competition is fierce, so some of the game director tries to do certain things to stand out.
Summer's Hearbeat is listed on the Playstation store. Still no release date yet though.
They are really pushing this China Joy event.
How long have you been playing AFMVs? What was your first AFMV? How many AFMVs have you played this year?
>>574190147>How long have you been playing AFMVs?Since December.>What was your first AFMV? Five Hearts Under One Roof >How many AFMVs have you played this year?6 or 7
>>574190147you cant post a question during the dead hours
>>574205396I'll do whatever I want.
>>574173260Why is Don't Fool Me Beauties not on Playstation?
>>574217469It costs a lot of money to publish a release on playstation (unless you are a Japanese indie in the 2000's era).It's not something you do unless you are confident you will not bleed red.
>>574190147Well, you asked everything I answered so I'll tell you what I last played instead: Subzero.>>574217992SH didn't seem to be a hit, did it? I'd love to know what's the deal with Shocolate and Storytaco, because seeing DFMB go for $5 all the time while the rest of their catalog is pricier across the board makes it seem like they're done.
>>574217992If they can get the rest of their catalog on Playstation then I'm not sure why they can't get Don't Fool Me Beauties up.
>>574223208I could honestly see DFMB failing to pass sony's censors over the gay jokes, though I don't think that's the reason.>If they can get the rest of their catalog on PlaystationI think it's just FHUOR1 and soon to be SH. PSN site won't let me filter by publisher to double check (what is this, 1999?), Mobygames hasn't even noticed any console release.Also pretty curious how SH is not slated for Switch when not only FHOUR is on it, but also FHOUR2.
>>574224336Heroines Through My Lens is also on Playstation.
>>574228779So it is and it's a PS5 release rather than PS4, interesting. Wonder if publishers are being pressured to drop PS4 at this rate, because they're losing money to no benefit here.
>>574223112>I'd love to know what's the deal with Shocolate and Storytaco, because seeing DFMB go for $5 all the time while the rest of their catalog is pricier across the board makes it seem like they're done.DFMB launched at $10, so getting a 50% discount often when it was their worst performing game before Beauties and the Stranded isn't too surprising. Five Hearts 1 often gets a 50% discount, but it is twice as expensive as DFMB.The more games Storytaco releases the more I wonder how much involvement they actually have behind all the FMVs. Is Storytaco the ones approaching filming companies to make games, or do film companies approach them. With how inconsistent their games are I'm starting to think it's the latter.
>>574229341It would be of absolutely no surprise to me if it cost extra to be published on both ps4 + ps5.And the ps4 shop will close down sooner than the ps4 shop. probably ps4 shop will be dead (for no good reason) a few years after ps6 launches.
$17.99 for Sweet Hamster Days is a lot. I might have picked it up if it were $10.
>>574239061I imagine they're the ones casting the Miss Maxim contestants, though even on the worse ones I recognize some shared DNA that implies deeper involvement. Would love to read interviews on that stuff.>>574242706As I understand it there's no cost, they just put it on PS4 and it's automatically available for PS5 short of compatibility issues. Capcom released their fighter collections on PS4 to save costs on crossplay between versions. You're right that store longevity will be very questionable from now on though.
>>574252147Wife and Mistress
>>574244983>only 4 players currentlyoof
>>574264581Oh, it's out? Not touching that after suffering the demo, but mildly curious about how reviewers will respond.
>>574265082Was the demo really that bad?
>>574269760I struggle to describe it without sounding hyperbolic but it's true, every scene follows the exact same template, the only changes being what tidbit of exposition is being dumped and the theme of the gravure shot. Even the gravure angles start to blend together after a while, it's surreal.
>>574272308Japan just keeps failing to make compelling FMVs I guess.
>>574272308Oh yeah, the game is completely silent from your side too, what I thought might be a demo limitation was intended so there are these long stretches of silence to 7s loops of generic BGM where you're just reading MC's musings that go on and on and on and on. The choices don't seem to mean or do anything outside of gravure mode too. God, I kinda forgot just how horrible this was, this stream is bringing it all back. Guy keeps complaining about how low budget it is for the price and he's right.
>>574281342Was the gravure good at least?
>>574300550I want to meet Dayeon.
>>574281342>Oh yeah, the game is completely silent from your side tooI mean, the MC is a hamster. It would be weird if he spoke
thats it i am entering china to meet gran and malsook i am willing to become a political prisoner for them
>>574287183No. And the guy finished the stream with that familiar self-reporting tirade against one of the characters being a highschooler, so there's the reason why Mary took it down.Really, the only good points to this are the subs being on point (standard fare for JFMVs I assume?), on set audio and the girls being cute and average actresses.>>574313492More than half the story is exposed through the MC's inner dialogue, you'll see what I mean. Don't worry though, they do play chirp.wav now and then at least.
wake up guys.
>>574157291This better be good, I'm prejudiced against the two western girls.
>>574336046Same, I can't play this one because of it
I found 2 jade beauties that should be hired for FMVs.https://www.tiktok.com/@sully.livepk/liveThe one on the left is doing silent payers and meditation all day, but she still attracts hundreds of tiktok views at all times, even though her tiktok stream is just a pirate stream they recorded from douyin.My instincts tells me she has a massive real following in China.
>>574337787I wouldn't go that far, but it feels kinda silly to play a 4 girl FMV for 2 or even 1 of them.
>>574340369Fuck off with posting random tiktok sluts.
>>574343094Sorry about that. I thought we were the yellow fever general.
>>574340762All it takes is one good girl to make an entire game worth it.
Roommates, Romance, and Ringing Hearts is 20% off, is it worth it?
>>574340369Silent prayers and meditation? So she broadcasts with nothing happening? Then why bother with face filtering?
>>574361196They probably get more gifts that way.I wouldn't mind face filters in my FMVs either if they can make the apprearance look look.We are already halfway there with makeup.
>>574365956>I wouldn't mind face filters in my FMVs eitherThat would be the day I drop these games. The filters asians use make them look like aliens.
>>573094871Heartbeat Cafe devs posted on douyin for the first time since November 2024. Looks like the July release window is probably right.
Joy brings me joy.
>>574390765I liked the cast of BatS, but the game was disappointing.
>>574390765
>>574388056Well this has me scheduled for the rest of the evening
These are the 12 most followed actresses on FMVDB, say something nice about them.
>>57441085910 10 10 10 10 109 10 8 7 7 8
>>574410859>8 from five hearts 1 and 2>3 from knowledge or know lady>chaesol from summer's heartbeatFive Hearts and Knowledge or Know Lady filling the list isn't surprising, those seem to be the most popular here. I assume they are popular in the other AFMV communities. Chaesol seems like a random one though. I barely see her get talked about outside of Miss Maxim talk.
>>574415843empress hot stomach was in the top 12 until a groundswell for chaesol/eunbi in the last week
>>574418154Nice tum
>>574420927im shocked but thankful they found a way to work it into part 2
>>574402101Cute
>>574421808She demanded it
>>574410859People demand more Eun-bi.
>>574449141actually it looks like they want more yuna
>>574453447If they want more Yuna they can go play My Love With the Girls Group. Eun-bi only has one game.
Too Hot To Be True is now listed to release on steam in September, it used to be August.
>>574463597I wonder if the delay is to fix some of the ADR?
I love Bit-na.
>>574463597great wheres my dating a ghost
>>574484810Steam won't allow it on until they remove all the sexy scenes.
>>574491946But thats every scene
>>574493950Dating a Ghost will eventually release as just a black screen with the actresses dialog.
>>574499792>I'm Blind And These Girls Are All After Me?!
>>574502268The next kokl game
>>574505179Speaking of, when are they going to announce a new game?
>>574388056:3
>>574388056come on
>>574517530>>574518215you are lusting after a 38 year old woman
Soul Touch seems interesting. Has anyone played it?
>>574522369........and?
>>574510506If we are to believe Wang Han then filming should be happening now or close to wrapping up so maybe early next year or middle of next year. I’m looking forward to a new fmv from the creators of hello love 18 mainly cause I recognize one of the girls and she’s my favorite
>>574537492Wang Han talked about a new game from the KoKL devs?
>>574542595All she said is filming should be happening right now or it’s already done or close to be done
>>574544903Where did she say this?
>>574548851On a douyin live stream I believe a guy translated it into English on YouTube
>>574550418I'll have to search for it on YouTube then.
>>574535852She is almost 40 years old. She is past her expiration date.
Do you prefer first person or third person?
>>574565951I haven't played any third person FMVs, but I would like to. First person ones can get pretty stale with it's camera work, so I'd hope third person is a bit better.
>>574576525>>574587692My Chinese and Korean wives.
Still no Five Hearts DLC steam page.
>>574598662Between this and the ghost game I am getting some serious FMV blue balls
>>574600509The Dating a Ghost situation is unfortunate, but can't be helped. The Winter Trip DLC is just weird. They said the steam page would be up at the end of June, did a couple of teasers, then just kind of stopped talking about it. I don't know what is holding them up.
>>574565951Haven't played 3rd person yet, can't imagine it being great.
>>574617031Need more girls like this in FMVs.
>>574622380i need to be there and yet i cant be
>>574598662never ever
>>574418154>>574420927Good legs too
>>574646363Thighs could be thicker.
>>574622380I wish I lived in China.
>>574650973nah>>574657986same bro these fmv games have recruited me
Inner Scales release date when? July is almost over and it still only has a vague July release date.
Gran is crazy hot.
So did anyone play Sweet Hamster Days?
>>574728720She has really long fingers.
That is still the worst tattoo I've seen.
>>574712858I watched the rest of the game out of boredom this weekend, or rather the guy getting impatient and skipping ahead chunks and it was still enough to piece the plot together, take that as you will. Main problem is, other than the completely unhinged tone deafness and several black screen missing footage transitions with voiceovers and misplaced zero timing AI gen BGM and the dull gravure inserts, the game wastes so much time trying to tease a mystery for the secret route you have no reason to care about and does next to nothing to establish the girls. It's so bad I found the extras at the bar more compelling and they're just clients who got nicknamed for their favorite dishes. And even then, the secret route that addresses this, while a little closer to actual storytelling and less unhinged (or maybe it's the player who's been worn out at this point?), is relatively over in a flash. Another JFMV to leave me dumbfounded. And apparently Kodansha had their hands on this going by the credits, what the fuck were they doing? If not even people from manga backgrounds could improve things, JFMVs might just be a hopeless endeavor.
>>574728720>>574739942i hate that tattoo so much
>>574728720The face and the stupid tattoo that will save THTBT.
>>574758017I liked the childhood friend in the demo.
>>574741260Roommates, Romance, and Rinibg Hearts was produced by a Japanese TV station, and that was shit too. Maybe the problem with Japanese FMVs is that it is established companies trying to ride the trend and not people who are actually interested in making FMVs doing it.
I just don't understand how Japan is failing when they've been making VNs for decades. FMVs are the same thing just live action.
>>574728720Why does she have safety glasses on her head?
>>574768665Wasn’t love starts again also a corporation creation and it’s the best Japanese fmv atleast in my opinion
>>574788659>it’s the best Japanese fmvNot exactly a high bar, but it looks like you're right. I've never heard of WWWave Corporation before though.
>>574773217I wonder how much that has to do with their 3DPD aversion. This is a horrible monkey paw in the making, but if that's all that gets elevens going these days just cut the crap and make a vtuber dating sim, at least their hearts will be in it.>>574788659Need to check that one.
>>574807927>just cut the crap and make a vtuber dating simThey are already getting VNs.
>>574808071Oh, right... But at least some nutcase out there wants to meet the girl behind the horrible 3D puppet, no?
News when?
>>574795968It’s actually really good more in line with love is all around I wonder why it’s the only good romance Japanese fmv not including Refate or blossom cause that technically a Chinese made fmv with Japanese actors
>>574825357Japan just needs one studio to go all in like Storytaco did in Korea.
>>574837507>July 31Do I start blaming Mary if the store page isn't up by next week?
>>574838210If it isn't up by the 31st yeah it is probably steam being fags.
>>574837651Where is Fury?
>>574837507i need to defect to china i cant miss this
>>574860859Nice
Storytaco posted another pic of the game they are currently filming.
>>574870264VILLA SERENA WEN
>>574870264I can't tell if this is Five Hearts 3 or not.
>>574870264>Villa SerenaThose cheeky bastards
>>574871705>>574878138Imagine if Wang Han actually appeared in a Storytaco game.
Say she does appear in a storytaco game. Would she speak in broken Korean, or would they have a native Korean dub over her?
>>574418154>>574646363>>573096038wu zetummy
>>574897967Going from the costumes in Empress to seeing these instagram shots of her has been wild. Even wilder they still worked it into the game in part 2.
>>574837651I wish I could meet Dayeon.
>>574890771She can just speak Chinese and just have a translator ear pod
>>574918658They could make her part of a duo by having a character that translates for her.
>>574946991>playstation store!!!>crickets>crickets>cough>crickets
>>574951176Kinda worrying they're focusing on console releases now, on top of having to juggle steam's arbitrary approval process.
>>574951176Nothing wrong with putting your games on as many platforms as possible.
>>574955737>>574955951Is the fan event stage like a panel?
>>574955737I only have so much time left to complete my defection to China so I can make this event
Hua Manlou is releasing August 21.
>>573094871Inner Scales is releasing July 25th.
>>574359312Kinda. I can see why its not super popular. Feels too short.
>>574990175Holy
>>573094871No updates on Heartbeat Cafe since, might not make it this month.https://steamdb.info/app/2998440/history/
>>574998369These kinds of games get more delays then I'd think.
How the fuck was this never posted here? The Doctor from Five Hearts 2 is returning for the DLC. This image was posted on the BGS twitter 10 days ago.
>>575005279She looks completely different with her hair down and glasses off.
So are Gran, Suzy, and Gyuri the only ones 100% confirmed for the DLC so far?
>>574990175WHOMST?!
>>573094871A Love Letter in Snowfall is out now. It is currently $8.99.
Storytaco announced the winners of the second Too Hot To Be True demo event.
Surely August will have a better line-up of FMVs releasing.
>>575064917Thanks for the heads up. Never lucky.
WAKE THE FUCK UP /afmv/, MARY IS DEFEATED, DATING A GHOST IS BACK AND NOT DELAYED TO NEXT YEARhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4855450/_/>Planned Release Date: 19 Aug, 2026>This game plans to unlock in approximately 3 weeks
>>575080982We are so back
>>575080982Crazy that Chen Ma and hao hao mom boobs really was the reason why the game got removed from steam
THTBT demo got updated again and they slipped in the bonus videos. It's not much content at all, but I'm liking the ADR from the other three girls a lot better, tattoo girl and influencer sound best with countryside girl close behind. Here's a sneak-peek for the anon into the childhood friend.
>>575083329We better get DLC for this cut content
>>575080982Let's fucking go.
The steam page for Storytaco's newest game, The Serena Villa Files, drops in 5 days.
>>575101225>Serena Villa
>>575101225Well, that's... a weird pic to reveal a game with.So what, they delayed the DLC page for their flagship so it wouldn't drown this game, only to end up doing it anyway?
>>575102587>they delayed the DLC page for their flagship so it wouldn't drown this gameI don't know why you would assume they are in any way related.
>>575102717Just spitballing here. Winter Trip was scheduled to be revealed in June, were they planning to reveal this earlier but couldn't? So now the game's page is going up next week and the DLC page has to go up very soon as well for the ChinaJoy event rules to be met.
>>575103629The most likely answer for why the DLC's page isn't up yet is because Steam are being fags.
>>575105439...Well, that's fair.Anyway, annoying they stopped putting these up on discord. Not that I like using it, but at least I don't need to use a third party site to bypass login that keeps getting stuck verifying I'm not a fucking bot. God, I hate the internet.
>>575101225Looked at this girls instagram and she has huge tits. Her face is kind of funky though.
>>575080982What do we think of the new title being Don't Blush?
>>575110023Huge bazoombas can make up for that
>>575113129Tall ask from a game with Qianqian.
>>575116158Others are hotter/sexier but her puppy-eyes/pleading look is second to none.
>>574410859Here are the 12 most liked actresses on FMVDB, last week I said these were the most followed actresses instead of most liked. Not much has changed in a week besides Wang Han and Gran now being tied, and Eun-bi got knocked out of the top 12 by Zhang Kaiyue.
>>575089246I don’t think it’s cut content more so the marketing that got steam angry
>>575116031true
I wish these games would let me zoom out on the timeline so I could see more than a couple of choices. Trying to find things I've missed to 100% chapters can get annoying.
There is no real news for weeks then on the same day Dating a Ghost gets relisted and Storytaco officially announces a new game.
>>575134852I was thinking we might have a drought in November from the GTA 6 scare. While there's no overlap whatsoever for the people who buy FMVs, publishers would be fighting for eceleb real estate.
>>575080982For me, it's the tomboy.
>>575136150Is GTA even allowed in China?
>>575101225One of the better titles for a Storytaco game. Don't Fool Me Beauties is probably the most generic title.
>>575101225She came in 2nd place in the 2023 Miss Maxim competition. She competed the same year as Dayeon. She was also in the 2021 Miss Maxm competition and was ousted in the first round despite being in 2nd place.
>>575158321This is also not her first fmv game she was one of the main love interest in the dlc for trilogy moon which is actual a censored version of the epic store exclusive which also had dayeon but she was a non romance character
>>575162590Any of the girls from Eternal Rebirth could show up in a Storytaco game since they were all Miss Maxim models. I like that there are more girls showing up in multiple KFMVs now. It gives me hope that girls I like will pop up again somewhere.
As of now there are 4 FMVs set to release in August, and 3 if them release back to back on the 19th, 20th, and 21st.
>>575126267Well. I'm in.
>>575149678I remember chinese streams breaking GTA 5 street date like 10+ years ago, maybe.
>>575050381>reviews describe it as completely linearMan... I knew the description was bullshit, but I had the faintest hope.
>>575179802gonna get real busy soon
>>573094871Inner Scales is out and costs $6.29.
>>575204407Alright, getting better. Is this the blonde girl from the contest you guys were talking about?
>>575209470No, she isn't a Maxim Model. She is just an actress in web shorts.
>>575204407not great, a step back from the first
>>575213440After seeing the first girls nipples, I'll take the blonde any day.
>>575219956>the first girls nipplesI must investigate this and appreciate any leads on the matter
>>575190452It's also only like 2 hours long, so it is really overpriced.
>>575228187Just search "Yeonwoo porn" and you'll find her.
>>573101254I only want Dong
>>575026494>>575047743>>575059367KFMVs owe me nice normal girls with warm smiles.
>>575238520Am I the only one who thinks Korean girls look like retards during these dancing streams?
The English subs for Inner Scales are so fucking bad.
>>575219956>>575235180ok those are pretty bad but its mainly the areolas that are the problem
>>575243068Sexy retards
Jesus, Inner Scales pissed through the battery life on my steamdeck.
>>575262715Well this is bad news. Should I wait fir a mod or something?
>>575269905I would recommend it. Some of the subs make no fucking sense.
Do Mystery Crown games typically not have a timeline like other AFMVs? Instead of a timeline Inner Scales makes an autosave at every choice and then you can scroll through the choices you want to go back to. It's annoying.
>>575276456she looks WAY different with her hair down
Winter is going to be in The Serena Villa Files. That's 2 Miss Maxim girls in this game now.
I didn't care for Winter in the Too Hot to Be True demo.
Also I just thought of this. Do you think Too Hot to Be True's group photo reveal being received negatively is why they are releasing solo photos of the girls from Serena Village first? The THTBT cast photo was awful and made the girls all look terrible, but when they released solo photos of the girls they all looked fine.
>>575243068that's koreans in general
>>575288164Ugh. Not looking forward to her ADR again either.
>>575295624Looking at most of their other games, they might not even have 5 photos of the entire cast to use as promo material. Drip-feeding the cast just seems like better marketing, although I must question again why is this only being put up on twitter.
>>575306752All the ADR has been bad. No game has had acceptable ADR.
>>575308283They are posting it on Instagram too.
>>575324247Put her in another game.
>>575047718She was in roommates romance and ringing hearts or whatever.
>>575101225>>575204407>>575288164They did a teaser for this game featuring Min-jung and Yoo-jung. Do you think they started with a countdown because the girl at D1 will be revealed as one of them?
>>575312687There's okay ADR.There's tolerable ADR.There's bad ADR.And then there's Winter's ADR on THTBT.>>575325286Weird.>>575342054Was that not for Winter DLC? Doesn't look like them on >>574870264.
>>575342725>Was that not for Winter DLC?It could have been, but it released after they showed footage of the Winter Trip DLC. It would be strange to say it was for an upcoming project instead of saying it was for the DLC at that point.
>>575371141holy shitthose english subs need fixing asap
>>575383694They are incomprehensible.
Speaking of subs, anyone try Island Survival's official english yet? Can't find any playthroughs since the update, no word on reviews or the forums other than people thanking the devs.
>>575276456>>575371141>>575393136she was good in knowledge or know but i didnt realize just how hot she is, glad she's getting work
>>575394210She's in another game releasing nextmonth too.
>>575393136I think the subs are fine besides the basic mix ups like using he instead of she or I instead of me then again I used the mod and beat the game like the day before the official subs was added so I’m just rewatching from the archives
>>575401313There's a subs mod already? I want to play but the warning about the subs scared me off
>>575402976This was before devs added the subs a guy made a mod like 3 weeks ago and the devs added the subs like 2 weeks after
>>575406359and the dev subs are still worse?
>>575406532No they’re good like I said sometimes you get the mistaken pronouns but that’s standard for subs
>>575406924yeah youd think somebody somewhere would realize the he/she thing
>>575420903>nutaku waifu gala>only features one waifu
>>575376271Please put any of them in a new game.
It’s something else.
>>575401313>>575406924Thanks, anon.
>>575450283I can’t believe there’s a strong possibility that she’s in the next storytaco game and is possibly the main girl
>>575451239They're talking my language now, I'm in. Hoping it's not produced by the THTBT people.
>>575451239Good selection here
>>575462846Gran and Malsook in one go? Are they trying to kill the attendees?
>>575451239The cast of thus is looking pretty good so far.
>>575450709>there’s a strong possibilityIs there though? It kind of seems like shitposting.
>>575477891Well she is in South Korea right now and on her douyin account she posted a video of her dancing with 2 of the girls that just got revealed to be in the game together and theres a soon to be announced girl that looks like her has her body type has brown hair thats also in her style either she’s in this game and gets revealed tomorrow or she rage baited a bunch of fans to get hype for a game she isn’t even in
>>575480316Not douyin sorry instagram reels
>>575480316>>575482150Better not be pulling my leg, this is too funny.
>>575480316I have mixed feelings about this. I will always like seeing Wang Han in more games, but if Korea is going to Chinese actresses as their big stars it could hurt them in the long run. You want to make Korean girls stars you can keep coming back, not have to go to China to get a big name on your game.
>>575489674I would agree with that sentiment but we would have to see how they implement her if they only really use her cause she’s a known fan favorite and they use her like gran in the sequel very little screen time and no real storyline than I would get the concern but if they gave her a really good script I see no problems it will force studios to make better scripts
Maybe once she is done in Korea she can go to Japan. Their FMV industry desperately needs her.
>>575498759True. And then she can pivot to JAV in the ultimate act for her fans.
>>575498759They need to import an entire crew first, even playtesters.
is there any sad or bittersweet FMVs? i liked revenge on gold diggers.
>>575508331>i liked revenge on gold diggers.Great stable of ladies and I liked that there was apparently a rule they all had to have a bikini scene, even the older femisphere influencer one (who became my favorite).
I hope Storytaco posts the last Serena Villa image tonight at midnight instead of 5 AM.
>>575525796>calling her jenny instead of ah-young>a few months ago ji-woo was just called ji-wooConfirmed Jenny will be in another game. God I wish.
Fame Game 2 is going to be at Chinajoy.
>>575540379She's in.
Enter Wang Han.
Ok, now put Chen Man in Five Hearts 3.
>>575543952Hell yeah!>>575545737Hell yeah!
>>575543952>>575553431brothers
>>575543952Well goddamn, I'm intrigued now.
>We know many of you have been curious about where we've been during this time.>Although we didn't share frequent updates, our team never stopped working.>In addition to coordinating with industry partners regarding resubmission, our development team thoroughly re-examined the game itself, conducting multiple rounds of optimization and polish around both content and experience.>We have always believed that a great interactive FMV game needs not only a touching story, but also quality that offers great replayability.>Therefore, this comeback isn't just a relaunch—it's a more mature beginning.>(...)>If anything has changed this time around, nothing was lost—rather, that spark is now presented in a more mature and complete way.>(...)>As for what specific changes have been made, we'd rather leave the answers for you to discover yourself.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/4855450/view/687512567808000001What do we think, lads? Sounds a little concerning.
>>575567406They removed the sexual visuals, pack it in
>>575420903>Don't Fool Me Beauties went even lower at $3.49That's a steal and a half, what the hell.
>>575573337>storytaco's best game>consistently gets the steepest discountsYou have no excuse not to buy it at this point.
>>575585936Hell yeah, time to lose a key to 34971380741****@qq.com again.
My Wang Han sized heart is full right now
So what do you think of this cast?
>>575593867Pretty strong aside from Winter, I might even dare say storytaco is back.
>>575586479I had good luck with the Too Hot To Be True giveaway, I'm hoping I have some luck left for this one.
which one do i get?
>>575622881I think Summer's Heartbeat is too steep at 15 yuro. Lethal Eden is legit and doesn't get too big discounts looking at its price history, but know it's not a dating sim. Consider Don't Fool Me Beauties if you don't have it, it's ridiculously cheap right now and it's great.
>>575622881Is the fame game good? I’m interested cause yaoyao is all but confirmed in the sequel
>>575623809What's going on with that sequel anyway? Did they even acknowledge the vote results?
>>575624404Idk maybe they’ll talk about it at chinajoy
>>575593867right two the best two
>>575624404>>575540379
>>575593867I'm still not getting over the cheeky bastards securing Wang Han and naming the game 'Serena'
>>575593867Apparently eun-bi is making a cameo in the game too
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4893850/The_Serena_Villa_Files/
>>575639935>Our second collaboration with the production team behind Heroines Through My Lens>Eunbi from the first season of Five Hearts Under One Roof,>Team Leader Sung from Heroines Through My Lens,>and Qiao Zhien, a hot and rising Chinese FMV star!
>>575639935>Our second collaboration with the production team behind Heroines Through My LensWHYNOT? More like WHYYYYYYY->Special appearances hidden throughout the game>Team Leader Sung from Heroines Through My Lens,Well okay, I like her. But still, now I'm apprehensive.
I would have preferred more than a cameo, but I'll take what I can get.
Anyway, where were you when the AFMV Cinematic Universe started?
>>575640121Who is Qiao Zhien?
>>575639935>You got a job as a security guard in a women's only residence!>With nowhere else to go, you, Joo Jihyuk, start working as the only security guard at the Serena Villa, a women's only residence.>However, oddities arise in the apartment from your very first day on the job.>Despite the initial backlash of the residents who didn't want a male security guard,>you still work hard on your job, protecting them by carefully monitoring the CCTV placed in several spots throughout the apartment.Wait a minute, this isn't anal sex, this is Night Trap for the Sega CD!
>>575640121>>575641356>Our second collaboration with the production team behind Heroines Through My LensI'm begging them to work with the people behind Don't Fool Me Beauties again.
Chinajoy is almost here and the steam page for the Winter Trip DLC still isn't up.
>>575648561It seems I was not ready for Jorts Han
>>575665709Amen.>>575670646I understand now why they wanted to spread out these two reveals.
on the horn with the chinese embassy rn negotiating a defection & arranged marriage to wang han
>>575683760I've already founded my own FMV company and I will be flying her out to me soon.
>>575607017I'll have my revenge eventually, they'll see.>>575508331Love Is All Around tries to be bittersweet in one route, but in a very contrived, completely out of your control, anti-ethical to game design way that's super unsatisfying.
>>575648561>>575661276Wow, group photos that don't make the girls look hideous. They should teach the THTBT studio how to do this.
>>575622881Whatever you do don't buy Inner Scales. The English subs are awful.
>>575705069But then others here said the subs are just fine
>>575711945Nobody has said that.
>>575698337Looking back their model picks and photography were pretty damn good, it just a shame they can't make a game to save their lives.
>only upcoming japanese fmv of note is a spin-off of a vampire survivors clone staring jav idolsWill Kaiju Princess Secret Pulse save JFMVs?
What Chinese actresses would you like to see appear in a Storytaco game in the future?
>>575712132Right here: >>575406924The end of a chain about the subs and how the mod isnt needed.
>>575717441well time to look up unpais body of worknumber two is also very nice
>>575725765You're confused, we were talking about Island Survival, follow the replies.
>>575725765That is talking about the Beauties for Help on the Island subs. How could someone release a subs patch 3 weeks ago for a game that released this week?
>>575005279How is she so popular anyway? She is ranked #2 on the leaderboard.
Here's the FHUOR news you wanted, anon!>>575732171I think these leaderboards just get messed up by hackers. I booted Dating 4 Girls today to check out Proton and Andy went down to number 3. Much as I like ugly duckling, that's just not believable.
>>575717441All my favorite AV actresses are probably too old to get cast in one of these.
>>575735553>Andy went down to number 3That's not right. I suspect botting.
>>575743147Not even necessary, you just CE in the votes, no game seems to have any real protection in place (because why the fuck would that be needed).And correction, even worse, she's 4th behind all the other girls. That's just wrong.
Storytaco is bringing back actresses more often lately. What is an actress from a previous Storytaco game you'd like to see come back in a new game? Hard mode no Five Hearts girls.
>>575743782WTF
>>575747539Anyone from beauties don’t fool me especially ji-woo
>>575749707This except I want Bit-na to return the most.
Opinions on girls who ride motorcycles and have hip windows?
I like girls on motorcycles.
Eun-bi bros, where are we at?Also Steam wishlist goals I guess.
I'm glad she's back.
>>575747539Roring
>>575776490either a bad photo or shes bogged
>>575776490That sounds a little bold. Do storytaco games get that high in wishlist count?
>>575776490>>575785450Bogged
>>575800931I think they are hoping Wang Han's name will get them attention from Chinq. The is definitely a chance if Chinese players turn up.
>>575761347She had me at hip windows, but her description sounding like Andy+Nikita is great too.
The Winter Trip DLC is getting unveiled at Chinajoy. I don't know if the steam page will go up, but we should get some info and footage.
>>575811619That's kinda fucked if you ask me, not everyone walks around with the steam app installed on their phone.
>>575815763Just wishlist it when you get home. What's the big deal?
>>575818586Thing is they made wishlisting the DLC a requirement for one of their events there.
>>575818783You have to do it on some Chinese store, not steam. And also you have to show people there you bought the games and wishlisted the DLC to get the photobook. So having it on their phone is a must already.
>>575819732...Oh, right. Pardon the brainfart.
>>575785450>>575803332She looks the same, what are you talking about?
>>575830647face is fatter
Here are the AFMV games releasing in August.Patriot Memoirs (Chinese) - August 6, 2026Don't Blush (Chinese) - August 19, 2026Shao Song (Chinese) - August 20, 2026Hua Manlou (Chinese) - August 21, 2026
>>575841026Hua Manlou looked the good kind of bonkers
>>575841026Pour one out for Heartbeat Cafe's July release.
>>575849218actually imma rub one out to chen man but thanks tho
>>575841026China hard carrying this genre.
>>575849218Will it ever come out?
Chinajoy starts today.
>>575873316I don't know, but now I'm mad I learned about an autistic girl FMV I have no access to.>>575876326>Special Booth EventDLC or sequel announcement, calling it now.
>>575876673>DLC or sequel announcement, calling it now.I hope. It feels like the game suddenly ended right as it was finding it's footing.
>>575876137>>575876326i wish i was chinese today
uhh, the end of Chp3 just replays and Chp4 is still locked, what am i supposed to do?>so shit at games i'm stuck on an FMV moviegame... it might be for the best. all these girls are so pretty, it's painful.
>>575883381Every time you make the correct choice with a girl you get points for that girl. To go to the next chapter you need to have a certain number of points total from all the girls. When you finish a chapter it will show you a bar at the bottom of the screen with how many total points you have and how many you need to progress.
>>575883626oh, i kinda don't like that. in story games i like to just go with whatever is my first instinct and stick with it all the way.these games just aren't like that i suppose, and it did mean i got to ogle Dong's body more, so that was good.
>>575886925It's a mechanic they got rid of quick. I don't think any of their other games have it.
>>575876326The special booth event is starting soon. I wonder if it will actually be anything of note.
I'm just waiting for the Winter Trip DLC news.
>>575895336I wish this game would get a bigger discount. It's the only Storytaco game I haven't played.
>>575901209Anything come of this?
>>575864282I love Dong
All we got out of Chinajoy day 1 was a couple of videos of the Five Hearts girls dancing.
>>575937076Uhhh, are they skipping the DLC wishlist verification thing then?
>>575940475They have to be.
>>575947582Well, hope they're just being incompetent or trying to blueball us too hard and not caught up in approval problems.
>>575948979Steam fucked with the release of Five Hearts 2, so I wouldn't be aurprised if this was their fuckery as well.
>>575965417gran is unreal
Is Island of Hearts any good? It is 20% off right now.
for my money its the knowledge or know ladies
>>Who do you like the most?>as if i can't say Mal-sook with her stood right there, with that perfect 10/10 face looking at me>... even though it might be Eunbi because she's a straight talking babygirl, or GrandDong because i want to be dommymommy'd i suck at these games, i dont want to be mean to any of them.
>>575987773>>575984342Five Hearts and the Knowledge/Know/Immortality games really stacked the deck with great casting
>>575992041That's still bonkers they paired Big Dong and the Sook
>>575984342Knowledge or Know Lady is still my favorite Chinese FMV. I'm hoping the devs announce a new game soon.
>>575984342>>576003651five hearts has gran dong and malsook and yunas good but it drops offthere is no miss on this immortality roster
Winter Trip DLC news when?
Any non-romance AFMVs worth checking out?
Mal-sook a cute.
>chinajoy over>not a peep about the dlcWhat happened?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4673900/_/
>>576053829you better not have gotten GAY in my algorithm. (they seem like nice lads)
>no Winter Trip reveal>no Summer Heartbeat sequel announcement>no local meetup with MalsookI'm already a demon...
>>576062821I didn't expect anything Summer's Heartbeat related, but no word on the Winter Trip DLC is weird.
>>576015104>>576018728>>576020242My wife.
Oh, I just realized Too Hot to Be True got delayed.
There is one more day of China Joy by the way.
i guess i never really gave it much thought or noticed before, but are tattoos in S.Korea quite common these days?also why does big sis always have bruises, she has a big one on her thigh too...
>>576107621I've noticed bruises on a lot of these girls. In Five Hearts 2 the doctor had a bunch of them on her legs.
>>576118996holy hell
Where the fuck is the Winter Trip steam page?
