>>586352150Not even memeing, I've read women's erotica, that kind of shit is what a lot of women are into reading about
>>586355957
I think The Ricktator is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills the Helmaniggers and doesn't afraid of anything
>>586355986Sitting on branches pussy first and getting ganghugged by dozens of monsters before becoming the torture pet of a humanoid snake monster?
>>586358225yesI'm not saying they're all into that but there's definitely an audience for it
>>586358460Uhhh....if you say so....
>>586355986>>586358225>>586358571You guys did read the horror VN Sayori did?
>>586357164Shouldn’t bruise a girls face
>>586366858They're into it though.>>586367612See?
>>586372306Violence against women isn't cool.
>>586372469It's not violence if they're enjoying it
>>586356327Still one of the best CGs of IX
>>586372469It follows then that it is hot.
>>586372768Can't argue with that!
The fundamental issue with every Rance game before SR is they don't respect your time.>I and II both have you spam every option 5 times because that's the only way to progress>III's combat system is painfully slow, even worse if you're abusing Feliss (which is the optimal thing to do)>IV's combat system is only a little better than III's but the dungeon is full of backtracking>4.x are exceptions, but are super short games and fall into the same traps are I and II>KR has you painstakingly check every menu on every turn and reload if you don't get new content>5D is RNG city>VI strongly encourages you to touch 100% of the squares on the map and has missable content>VI After isn't a game, it's a VN
>>586373774That's how games by small companies used to be made. They couldn't make too many assets, and people didn't buy games too often, so they would extend playing time in any ways they thought they could get away with. It's just a sign that these games are old. But still, you can get by just fine without Feliss in III, and you can get by just fine in KR and VI without going over everything with a fine tooth comb. In fact, it's probably better to not do that.
>>586375298While I agree, a game is fundamentally flawed if it encourages you to play in the least fun way.
>>586373774People who play dungeon crawlers like 100% map completion
>>586375725If it's not fun to play a game a certain way, then I'd say that's plenty of encouragement to not do it. "100% completion" and "optimal" are both things that can be safely ignored.
>>586375725>>586376157It can be a trap for players with completionist autism, which I presume is a pretty big chunk of the playerbase for every niche game.
>>586377924Torako…
>>586376053people who play dungeon crawlers like to stay in the dungeon as long as the can until they have to go back to town. VI forces this going back to town on you like no other dungeon crawler. As a dungeon crawler, it's pretty bad due to that.
>>586377924How many miles of cock has Torako taken?
>>586379037What is "cock"? I only know about kissing.
>>586379136How many miles of tongue has Torako taken?
>>586379349We just can't know, it's impossible to count
>Torako accidentally talking herself into being a sex instructor for kunoichi
>>586378306I'm not the dungeon crawler audience I guess, but I prefer to stick to like an hour and a half max on one mission or I start getting antsy about saving.
>>586379349Kissing not frenchingThis is a family game for goodness' sake
>>586380806Well, I guess in games where you can't save inside the dungeon you'd need to go back more often
nin nin nin
>>586357164Justice for Tsuina
>>586372306>>586372469It is okay to punch Tsuina in the belly but bruising the face ruins the merchandise
Am-sama banzai! I love Am-chan!
>>586420117Am-chan loves you tooNow bring your family to mass
>There will never be Evenicle 3>There will never be Dohna Dohna 2>There will never be Toushin Toshi 4>There will never be another Dai game
>>586422249Frankly, will there ever be another game? I think we're dead once X is translated.What is the Japanese community doing these days?
>>586422249>>586422932I'm okay with being dead after X is translated.
>>586426948I'm not
Does anyone else hate when doujins or games have characters talk way way too much during sex?
>>586422932We will live off a revival in mods and the steam releases
>>586422249Would you trust nu-Alicesoft to make them?
>>586429676Talking a bit when it just started is fine but yeah it should be toned down the longer things go on.
>>586441527Has nu-Alicesoft made anything of note since Dohna Dohna?
This quest was very creepy.
>>586446343Damn, now I have to replay Quest.
>>586446343I want a save of the ALICE fight
>>586429676Yes
>>586355613is Vivid the cutest of the 3 ghost kalars? yes she is
>>586456689She looks the best in the fused Pastel form, while Full looks the worst. Which is the opposite of their actual looks.
>>586356327If I was gay or a woman Rick would definitely be my husbando.>>586446343An angel knight says almost exactly the same thing in KR if you don't conquer Kawanakajima until very late in the game.
>>586446343>helman was an inside job
>>586456689In pastel form yes
>>586456791>>586458820What are you talking about? She is the best in non Pastel form too.
>>586414487Does Kayblis even understand the concept of friendship?
It's somewhat strange that the Free Cities Alliance can't enter a state of war with Leazas as a whole in KR. I thought it worked like the NATO or the EU, you attack one member, you declare war on all the other members as well.
>>586446343I hate that they put all of the interesting stuff off screen. We never see Crook learn that her religion is false, even though two thirds of the game has been building up to her becoming Pope.
>>586460356Free Cities are based on the historical Free Cities inside the HRE. They were not a military alliance.
>>586465938>Curookoo learning her religion is false`_`>end scene
>>586465938Technically her religion isn't false
Posting in a Kalar thread
don't die in my sleep
>>586480296I shatter where I please
>read the walkthroughs for some quests I did to see if there was something I missedshit, so you are telling me I wasn't supposed to grind for 2 hours until I got strong enough to defeat Aegis at the village gate?
>>586484901When in doubt, act like Rance. Would he put in a bunch of effort to grind levels? Of course not!
>>586485708Literally the premise of the game.
>RuberanI don't remember her, when was this?
>>586491405KR
>>586491405She's the cop that catches you at the start of Kichikkuo
>>586491205Only if you're not the tactical genius who conquered JAPAN
>>586491494>>586491528Ah, I kinda skipped that one, but I do plan to play it eventually
>>586491405Ruberan is the most evil, psychotic bitch in the franchise. She ruin's Rance's one true calling and crushes his hopes and dreams for no justifiable reason. She can't even play volleyball right and has to be naked to do.
>>586491405Ruberan is the most blessed, benevolent girl on the series. She frees Rance from the cloying clutches of the nefarious pink cotton ball and allows him to reach his true potential.
>>586491405Ruberan is okay, I suppose.
Merim or Ruberan?
>>586503029I'd Rub her in
>>586479203Pastel Color in pastel color
>>586491405Did nothing wrong
>>586503029Ruberan is hotter

>>586355613Hey /haniho/, got something interesting for you guyshttps://github.com/erogehakase/EscalationIt’s a viewer for the beat gacha in case any of you actually want to read it(rance collab included naturally)You’ll needPython(unironically use ai(google gemini personally) if you’re python illiterate to explain the steps)Renpy visual novel engineIn game assets(you’ll need an android phone or an emulator and extract the assets yourself, otherwise I’ll see if I can upload the assets myself)A lot of time(it takes a month for the mtl to finish translating everything, mine’s finished and I’m going to upload it myself)Reposting from last thread
>>586527276I am shaped like this
>>586527276Is this something you can buy in Japan or was it made for the Hanny Building?
>>586537062Artificial adult Milli and evil Eleanor are sexy
>>586537721>saying Milli instead of MillI must shatter myself for this error
>>586539582A real hanny would shatter themselves over all three. No glasses? Pass.
>>586537062>Shizuku claimining she doesn't want sex>dresses like that
>>586541250>ShizukuYou shatter yourself as well
>>586555162Does Sen enjoy being punched in the stomach even though she says she's not a masochist? (She totally is though)
>Evenicle let's you fight and the giant boss monsters around when Acheval and Barro join your partyBased
>>586557926Yeah only for a couple but it was fun
>>586555967No because she has to protect our unborn child
>>586520851>a tool that allows me to not play gacha gamesBased
>>586491528She's not even a cop, but a glorified museum guard.>>586503029Merim.>>586537062>>586550780I love these witches a lot.
Maria is a regular at Kathtom Fried Chicken.
>>586555967She might enjoy it, but you won't enjoy it because it'll hurt your hand.
>>586571383Such tenacity...
>>586567976Cute
>>586573327Who would you rather recruit...
Do you think Rance would have inevitably became chaotic evil if he never met Sill?
>>586575153No>>586573598Sea
SELEL
>>586579637Perfect
What was her complete name again?
>>586580572It was very long
>>586575153Rance would've probably ended up failing to complete 1 before Arios and fading into obscurity as a result.
>>586584958Arios would be too much of a bitch to punish Lia though, he'd probably rescue Hikari but fail to get the true endingEventually Lia would torture another girl, as is her natural state, and the natural predator of the Lia, Rance-sama, would arrive to correct her behavior
>Assault Lia>Assault Lia>Assault Lia>Assault Lia>Assault Lia
>>586597026HmmmmmWhat should I do?
>>586541250Shizuku has a great OST. I like Spirit World in particular. Too bad the fan translation was supposedly made by a Reincock and needs some sort of emulator to be set up as well...
>>586377924Oohh here she comesWatch out boy, she'll chew you outOhhh here she comesShe's a maneater
>>586541250True. Any woman with a hat that big is asking for sex
>>586602024>chew you outChew you up, obviously.
>>586602024I’m scared
>>586591826NahChora said in X, Arios will somehow succeededHe's the Hero after allThe reason he failed it's because, Rance done it faster than him
>>586602903Her left arm looks proper fucked, god damn.
>>586602540I wouldn't if I were youI know what she can doShe's deadly man, she could really rip your world apartMind over matterOh, the beauty is there, but a beast is in her heart
>>586602778Chora is a character with opinions not fact
Does the Horus race ever appear after Kichikuou?
>>586491528Nta but honestly I forgot about her. Only figured that the nearby village simply got too pissed and asked for some help
>>586606996Yeah, that's what happens then you get a cutscene between Ruberan and Lelyukov about her offering her unit to fight bandits rather than sit around in the Ancient Ruins and do nothing.
Was the nuke in the Land of Death Kayblis's or Hornet's doing?
>>586606913XEvenicle 2
>>586607219Red Eye vs Hornet
>>586607219I don't know about in X, but in KR it's due to Hornet and Red Eye having fought.
>>586608367>>586608381So the radiation is just the consequence of two mage fiends having fought rather than either of them pulling a pro gamer move?
>>586609127Yeah.
Would you rather fuck a single randomly selected rance girl or smooch ten random rance girls?
>>586613918The more random selections you make, the higher the chance of pulling Silbarrel
>>586614885More chances to pull your favorite girl too
>>586613918https://funnyposting99.github.io/random_character_shop/
>>586615909I want to make another one of those cute little websites, but I've used up all my ideas.
>>586613918>Medusa>Mineva>Onibaba>SilbarrelThe thought you could get any of these four make me want to say no thank you.
>>586613918Yeah, there are some very bad rolls, but the odds quite low for those. Meanwhile the odds of getting a super cute girl are very high since that's all what Rance goes for.The former option is a no brainer for me.
>>58661730110 smooches or sex Generate a anime kingdom
>>586618396Medusa paizuri
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanny%27s_Voorwerp
>>586615909Lucky gal monster pull.
>>586619580That's just a random character selector. I want to do something more creative
>>586615909Not a bad haul this time
>>586624352Decent
I've been doing okay running around like a headless chicken in Quest so far, but I see that there is some focus on resetting the characters, what's the best way to do that? What are some good things to know in general for the game?
>>586629139It's not a terribly difficult game. When you level reset a character, they get more skill point and the item that they had is absorbed and added to their stats. The only thing you really need to consider is balancing your limited skill uses for getting through quests and fighting the boss. Other than that it's just deciding which characters you want to use and invest in.
>>586629710I see, guess I'll wait until I can easily grind my girls back to 35 before I start messing with the resets
>>586615909
>>586620559>it's even greenLike pottery...
>>586637920It's like a giant celestial pottery, shattered>distant booming [AIYA] aiya ₐᵢᵧₐ...

>Hanny's Voorwerp (HsV) is about the size of a small galaxy and has a central hole over 16,000 light years across. In an image taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, HsV is colored green, a standard false color that is used to represent the presence of several luminous emission lines of glowing oxygen. HsV has been shown to be at the same distance from Earth as the adjacent galaxy IC 2497, which is about 650 million light-years away.>it's not actually greenBummer...
>>586637920>named after a womanFALSE PROPHET BEGONE
Which Alicesoft game(s) had those cosmic hannies?
>>586639891>false colored hanniesHoly shit.... why can't a brown hanny just paint himself red again...? Or even white??The Hanny King HATES this ONE WEIRD TRICK
>>586640209iirc there was something like that in Sengoku as a dungeon boss
What do you think happened to Rance and Maria in the spaceship ending?
>>586643675They went to hannys voorweep
>>586644590>HsV has been shown to be at the same distance from Earth as the adjacent galaxy IC 2497, which is about 650 million light-years away
>>586645896But the continent isn’t based in our world
>>586643675The hyperweapon's juice magically sustains Maria and the presence of pussy magically sustains Rance
in term of bullshit challenge you can do, which rance game is the most interesting?rance x. kichikuo or sengoku?
>>586643675From what I remember, one of the interview or source said they met the weird alien from 5D
>>586658231Sengoku
Aiyaya
>>586658231i don't feel like there that much challenge you can do in kichikuou
>>586668416If you really wanted to, you could think of some things. Depends how creative you want to be.
>>586668416Someone recently? did a playthrough where they didn't invade anyone other than territories owned by kekblis
>>586659269rance x is already pretty hard once you get to many difficulty up
>>586668416I'm trying to do an LTC challenge right now. I'm curious how many optional characters are really worth recruiting or if you can just bum rush with the main cast. I feel like Rance and Megalass won't be enough for the demon realm though.
>>586661515>>586658231sengoku challenge, you must act like rance
>>586681925How would that work exactly?
>>586687574declare war every time you have the opportunity, even if you already at waronly use female unit (except for rance himself)i'm sure we can put more rules but that what i though first
