>>2006310How many years until it releases
>>2006313But you'd rather the same thing happen with white ones? We're talking about fictional men here, all 3dp real moids are evil.
Reposting the links of this "Project: Perfume" game that was shared at the end of the previous thread:https://xcancel.com/deweibs/status/2049118590855532879 (embed)https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/695a2d64000000000b03b2d0>>2006312No idea, but preregistrations are already open.
>>2006313>3dpd out of nowhere
>>2006310>Open world>Timeloop mechanics>being written by the dude behind Blade RunnerDamn they're really going all out lol
>>2006315The men look nice but something tells me this is another cardslop game
>>2006315Not interested in this one too much but the guy you uploaded is hot
>>2006313Good thing my 2D are just nice cute boys.
>>2006305>>2006310Looks promising but I want to see actual gameplay first, show me good combat and ill pre-register
nth for delicious dark chocolate sex slaves
>>2006310Pink is Lightning's long lost brother.
>>2006317>being written by the dude behind Blade RunnerIs there any source for that besides IGN, because that's wild if true
>>2006343Damn those pecs
I would suck the CEO and Yoshipiss's dick if it meant getting an otome gacha game written by Ishikawa. I'd even swallow if it meant getting Emet as a LI
>>2006343>dark chocolatepic not related?
>>2006347Its in the description of the official PV itself, I also thought it was a joke at first lol
https://x.com/Prettybusy_KR/status/2048738268150399329porny angel....
>>2006369wow
First time that i think that this retard is cute. Still retarded as fuck. He gets more cards than Levi lately. Is he more popular?
>>2006369I was getting worried that there wasn't going to be voice acting. I wonder what happened before.
post wall general
>>2006144>they've been doubling down hard on their presence in JapanSmartest move they can make. S. Korea only cares about webtoons with the ugliest characters, it's banned in China, westerners don't spend and are annoying to deal with, and their home country Taiwan is too tiny and has China constantly breathing down their neck. Japan is still the biggest market for explicit fujo content and they tend to be pretty loyal, I don't think nu:c popularity has waned significantly over there I think one of the Animate locations even added Edmond to one of their murals kek Hopefully they don't fall into the multi-media project trap that nips seem to love.
>>2006353The lightning in that scene made him paler
>>2006305>>2006309>only options for female players are 3DPD otome gamesgrim
>>2006343>you stumble upon anon's rape dungeon
>>2006315so is this one for the girls, the gays or coleman
And just like that Silent Whispers already topped the chart of pre-req games, beating omni game hype giants like Ananta
>>2006427Will be interesting to see how well this game does, it's our first LADs clone but at least the other 2 guys are different. The pink haired and a tanned guy look fine but temu Sylus needs to change or at least give him a different haircut. Also fuck Happy Elements for using Ensharts' money to make a 3D waifusloppa, Silver Palace is what i wish a new husbando game would look liked. I wonder how long before we get a 3D gacha with an anime style since corpos are likely going to try and get the husbando market now that the waifuslop market is too crowded
>>2006427What game is that in 4th place? Is that the Project Bang Bang game?
>>2006454Yes. It's called Reign of Nightfall now.
>mfw all these waifuslop devs hop on the joseimuke bandwagon and still go bankrupt. Because fuck them, they deserve to fail
>>2006427I wonder what cope "males don't sell" incels will have when the game launches and beats out LADs and probably hoyo>>2006448Seeing as Project bangbang is outranking it in the picrel despite being a 2d game happy elements really are retarded for thinking going the waifu route was the right decision especially after how bad male targeted games are doing these days
gonna bet that the new idol game will end up more profitable than Silver Palace ever is
>>2006490Of course it will. And that would make it the second time HE's waifucuck games faily abysmally.
>>2006470Happy Elements haven't learned shit since their first attempt at waifuslop flopped, they should've just made Silver Palace a husbando game by genderbending all the girls and it would've gotten so much attention. It's retarded that moid corpos saw genshit's success and what they got out of it was "let's alienate normalfags" and thought that would work somehow
>>2006426Who knows. The account that posted that game on twitter only said>No, dev herself said she didn't want to make a game that was only for otome games. Usually, only games that explicitly mention otome games are considered otome games. female-oriented game encompass much more.when someone asked if the game was an otome.
>>2006591This could either mean its not romance focused so more emphasis on gameplay with male fanservice or that the mc is either ambiguous or can be male/female. Either way the guys so far are really pretty but I'll hold out my opinion until I see how it plays.
>>2006315See now THESE are character designs, if you made an open world with them as units I'd whale my entire paycheck but alas I'm stuck with LADs clones for the next five years...
The lads twitter posting erotic stick figures was not something I was expecting to see today or ever
>>2006629the entire lead up to this banner has been so chaotic, I kinda love it. makes me almost wish this would be the usual course rather than spoiling everything by showing all of the kindles in the pv
>tanned guy is overwhelming the most popular pick amongst both CN and western fansMakes sense since his design is the closest you'd see from most fantasy otome games, further proving that corpos need to stop forcing boring kpop looking men that all look the same at us
>>2006638>East and West coming together with good tasteLove to see it.
>>2006638I mean the other dudes are just Sylus and generic man. At least brown is a little rarer
>>2006629Why do I get the feeling the end result isn't going to be that lewd kek the imagination is a powerful thing
>>2006638When it comes to neopolitan ice cream everyone prefers the chocolate flavor
>>2006676Holy hideous
>>2006739*Holy sexo
>>2006730Unfortunately not. I'm not a fan of the chocolate and disliked the strawberry. I always ended up sad when we got Neopolitan ice-cream
>>2006676They can use bots to post all the positive opinions they want, but no real woman is going to spend money on this shit.
>>2006638his dark skin makes his uncanny valley exaggerated facial features more forgivable since they work as a multiplier for his exotic appeal.
>>2006676didnt know they liked indian men over in chinaland
>>2006629I couldnt stop fucking laughing when I saw the Sylus stickman spanking kek. Best promotions they’ve done since launch even though it wasnt originally planned
>>2006629Its nice not knowing 90% of the kindled before the banner goes up for once. I'll take these silly sticks in the meantime. >>2006694Yeah somehow I doubt the actual kindleds are going to be this lewd since the hints make it sound like its going further than the nightly rendezvous banner
Here's the leaked PV if anyone wants to watch ithttps://x.com/WingckyHuang2/status/2049431079984283883
>>2006857Maint is tonight... I'm holding back
>>2006490I wish the boys didn't look so average. Japan has better designs and colors and the only place that understands giving guys in the cast good interactions. I don't care for the new trend in gachas where it's only about characters just being into the mc.
Tokyo Debunker is joseimuke industry plant
males don't sell btw and you will never be the target audience
>>2006917how is it this popular when i never see anyone talk about it, like even outside this thread the only thing I know abt the game are the weird AI ads
>>2006917>ensharts still selling this muchJP sisters never learn
https://nitter.net/smolzero/status/2049280280976933005https://nitter.net/smolzero/status/2049514373807296625https://nitter.net/ccZeroERA/status/2049501411814392306>ZeroEra will feature AI chatbotsOh boy, this will definitively go well and not end like the AI chatbots featured in the other game with a name beginning with "Zero". I know writting is expensive, but renting servers for AI and making sure the models don't go rogue is even more expensive, specially for a small company making its first project. They should at least make the models run locally on phones with NPU and PC that can run them instead of relying on expensive external servers. The official account even deleted a reply admitting that they're using a LLM to generate custom dialogue for each character and player, but a fan account that is in their inner circle mentions that this feature was planned from the beginning:https://nitter.net/smolzero/status/2049514373807296625https://nitter.net/ccZeroERA/status/2049521055866491007Also the MC will be a gender neutral being.
>>2006917Lmao I swear that game is hiding a money laundering scheme behind it
>>2006931Not surprised considering how normal the use of AI in China is, that shit is everywhere
>>2006926nips unironically have the "here, Japan" syndrome and will usually be biased towards products made in their own homeland no matter how shitty it is or how much the company is screwing them over by using their money to fund other projects, so they're really just doing it to themselves.
>>2006931I don't understand the need for chatbots, if i wanted to write delusional fanfic about having a convo with a character I liked I'd just go to character.ai plus this isn't an r18 game so they're not even gonna let me have spicy convos with them. just get a decent writer or something.
>>2006931>MC will be a gender neutral beingmakes sense since there will be dating options in order to get around the anti BL laws, I personally don't mind
>>2006926Enstars recently got strict with their guidelines too. Removed the free MV outfits from tour events, you have to buy it with cash, and you cant post about the stories on social media consecutively (snippets are fine) or the SPPs. They want people to roll the cards completely blind now. Every update gets greedier and more time-consuming and nips slurp it up like good dogs.
>>2006934Happy Elements is still a Chinese company despite Enstars is made by their Japanese branch
>>2006953Amagicest sex
>>2006931>tfw have deepseek isms in my shota game
>>2006931Fucking god damn monkey pawI will now do everything in my power to trick the AI chatbot into doing very erotic actions
>>2006917I really hope Japan locks in with the Fragaria Memories game. And make it global, even the waifu games went global. >>2006934If they want to play otome, they'll play the numerous otome games they have access to instead of a gacha. The remaining audience are people who want to see cute anime boys in games that aren't otome.
>>2006938>I don't understand the need for chatbotsIt's to make you develop a more personal relationship with your husbando (sonfu?) and spend more time and money in the game, and to please dumb investors that always want to add trendy things to projects (this time being AI).The official account claims that IA is only being used for these chatbots and that everything else (art, plot, characters, music, etc.) is human made: https://nitter.net/ccZeroERA/status/2049522977042239512But with how much westoids and nips hate AI Yomio should do a stream explaining those details and mechanics before rumors spread.
>>2007124My guess is that it'll be like zerowake where you have to use tokens in order to chat with them aka an easy money maker. If its intuitive enough I'll use it often and also since they confirmed a dorm feature i hope they raise enough so we can get a 3d room feature that's all the rage in recent 2d games like nikke/gfl2/etc
>>2007136>dorm feature>everyone expects "intimate" events specific to each character in their room>it turns out to be a daycare center where you babysit everyone at the same timeHow would (You) react to it?
>>2006305>>2006299>>2007196
>>2006406Indian?
>>2007202Cum buckets of course
>>2007202shota orgy hot dog
>>2006946>Every update gets greediernot surprising consider now we know where all that money is being funneled, Happy El has been trying to chase the waifukek crowd for years just like every other moid corpo and Ensharts just exist to fund those waifushit projects until they succeed
>>2006310JP VAs>not!sylus is ono yuuki (surprised at this one)>choco is yoshimasa hosoya>pink is takanashi kengo
>>2007234>hosoyanBueno...
>>2007234>hosoyaI will now play your game
>>2007233I'm glad I dropped it when I did, no regrets at all>>2007234>love onoyuu>hate sylusWhy would they do this to me
that brown dude from the new gacha is really cute might actually try it out IF the gameplay is there kek
>>2006305>From the company that made Life MakeoverShould have known, they've been trying to assassinate Nikki and now they're aiming for LADS too. pls release the Life Makeover open world expansion tho
>>2007429Source?
>>2006299https://x.com/CaseyTheVA/status/2049554456094953717Any of you tried NTE now that it's released?
>>2007579no, I'm not into 3dshit.
>>2007579I did, the cute elf that was posted last thread was making me angry...
>>2007579Your bait males failed and now your game is DOA so I look forward to more omnislops who think they can fool us dying an undignified death lol
>>2007579NahI don't really want any of these omni open world gacha anymore. Open world as a genre could do with being out away for a while. BotW did unimaginable damage to the games industryCome back when it's majority or exclusively male at least
>>2007579sure, I do love playing waifu gooner games after all
Zero Era getting cute by having emails 'written by' Zero sent to registered navigators.Cute. Nice touch and a good way to remind/reassure people that the game is still on the way
>>2007772finally got mine this morning! seems like each letter is unique or at least not everyone is getting the exact same one probably used AI if its the former but still a nice gesture. I can't wait to meet you Zero~
>>2007773>each letter is uniqueReally?
>>2007773>probably used AI if its the formerScroll up the thread. It was confirmed that the letters were written by AI and that they are a "sample" of chatbots that will be featured in the game. The devs claim that these AI chatbots will only be used to make personal interactions with the characters feel more unique and that every other part of the game is 100% man-made, tho.
>>2007776I'm guessing since the one I got was different from this one >>2006931also from the official twitter account themselves:>Zero is writing personal thank-you letters to some Navigators who've pre-registered (This is also a sneak peek into our in-game character interaction system—we're testing it with you! ) so yeah most likely made with AI lol but mine was cute and didn't seem very generated imo so it must be a good systerm
>>2007779Oh huh, somehow missed that post. Some parts of the letter kind of meander in a way that feels a bit AIish but if it's just optional stuff like this then whatever I guess. This line is kinda cute.
>>2006931I thought this was a parody of AI written messages but I'm supposed to take it seriously. It sounds so bad.Literally why not hire writers? Or english speakers? Don't rely on AI to be your english communication
And now the AI psychosis begins
>>2006408not even good looking 3DPD (if that were possible)and naturally none of the boys have long hair, so it's an ez skip for me
>>2007802At the very least, I don't think anyone is going to be crazy enough to off themselves over a shota game.
>>2007802they're using it for the art or story writing but for the chatbots so compared to the drama with NTE that used on everything this is nothing, anti-AI is being more widespread especially in games because players don't want to pay for generated slop, this is common sense.the devs just need to clear up that its being used specially for that one feature, or get rid of it entirely since no one was asking for it in the first place.
>>2007807they're not*
Where Winds Meet has AI chatbots with affection levels and I skip all of them. That level of engagement is too exhausting, if I have to drive a conversation myself I may as well talk with real people. Systems like The Ssum were already too much
>>2007805Nah, gay paedos will be the first to go
new SW dev letter:https://xcancel.com/S_whispersEN/status/2049707818559721694they're calling the setting "fantasy urban life" so cars I guess?
>>2006350>I'd even swallow if it meant getting Emet as a LIOtome from Ishikawa would be godlike. The atrocities I would commit for that and also Hyth. There's a void in my heart only the likes of Hyth or a very similar boy can fill
>>2007269>richardfuck yeah. i'm more of a hansa girl myself though
10 females 1 malecope sisters
>haven't been able to pull anyone with keys or seals since Gabriel>already have the Beel in the pancake shopHoly shit can I get something new already
>>2007825SquareEnix is sitting on a goldmine and they are just squandering it. Same with Koei and Konami.
>>2007819I feel like its going to be infinity nikki flavored otome or something. Idk, just feels like they'll be preoccupied with flexing their technology over making a fun game. Hope I'm wrong though and seeing that they have a dedicated engine team is great news, maybe it wont be bloated like most ue5 games>>2007830Based. Hansa is great too.
>>2006299>>2008013
>>2008014No actual man would ask that.
>>2008019Sure….
>2007847still coping that the old man in the hoyoslop I play gets less attention than the blue-haired shota
>>2007269god i wish we weren't stuck in omnislop and chink realistic 3D hell, it's ironic that some of the most unique and sexo boys i've ever seen are from FGO...when will nips lock the fuck in and make a joseimuke that doesn't play like outdated slop?
>>2007862Wake me up when another Gabriel and his other two brothers card drops. For now zzzz.
I WANT TO RAPE AN ANGEL BOY
Squeenix is so retarded for not making a chocobo racing game with male ass jiggling wildly while riding the chocobos...
Not a big uta no prince sama fan fir now but that ones cute. Are the otome games better?
>wife, ham and whore in heels>eito in flats, dog in bootslmao
You shouldn't have been so obvious about rigging the chart, sisters. The cat is out of the bag.
>>2008281eito being a switch alas has to maintain his top attributes also rin makes another appearance
>moid crying about the meme chart again Let me guess...LADs made bank while his waifuslop is bordering on EOS numbers kek
>>2008336its so bad sis, genshin and lads are at the tippy top while you have to count down at least 7 spots before you see another waifu game. gave me a good laugh.
This is the most amount of clothing I've seen whore wear
>>2008336not just LADs either, infinity nikki has been slowly climbing back up after adding the new male companions
>>2008342Somehow it's hotter that only his wrists are exposed
>>2006299Rip Love & Deepspace>>2007196
>>2008296can the stupid retards in charge of approving new clan members just release the sexy brocon already? i don't know why the nu government is scared of making even more money
>>2008342He has an 18 inch dildo inserted and a chastity cage on
>>2008434After looking closely, I can see them
>>2008189The games are silly but I do recommend if you liked the anime. The characters are definitely more fleshed out
>>2006931Tokyo Debunker uses AI and people still play that slop>>2006917. The lack of options for shotafags means people will overlook it.
>>2008505As long as its not used for the art itself I don't care, im already used to ignoring chatbots. My only hope is that they don't rely on it to write the story as well.
>eito bunny figure speeding up to becoming one of animate's most sold figures of all timeDeploy the wife version
>>2008281They look like transexuals
wifesisters, is the new visual worth it? I have some extra spending money but not sure if I should use it on that or the upcoming neon carnival merch
>>2008613I enjoyed it and didn't regret spending to get him, if you don't mind spoilers the breakthrough visual has Edmond riding EIden, and the premise is that Eiden is helping him through his heat
>>2008576I really wish whoever the new artist is would stop giving them breasts. It's getting ridiculous at this point.
>>2008281they look rapeable
The fish had the best kindled from this event. I think i'm going to drop Caleb and switch to Rafayel. Glad I didn't spend too much on the game yet
>>2009017As a nii-san lover even I can admit the fish is super erotic and sexy. He's the reason why I stuck with the game while waiting for Caleb's release
>>2009017hard agree that fish had an amazing card this time, but also kinda loved the scene(s) with Caleb and his bionic arm (I'm kind of a sucker for that trope and I dig whenever his bionic arm is shown off in the story and esp when it's actually shown)
since LaDs current cards came up, just wondering--if anyone read/watched Sylus's card, what happens if you choose to shoot instead of not when it comes up? I'm guessing the game finds a reason to force mc to not shoot regardless but I was too chicken to choose the shoot option
>>2009074Same. I love Caleb's possessiveness and yandere side which drew me to him, but Rafayel is also like that and it's evident in his lore as well. I also have a bunch of his cards that I never worked on leveling up since I play as Gege.>>2009102That part of him is also so interesting and how that ties with him also being a Colonel.>>2009230He pulls the trigger himself but he doesn't die since Sylus isn't exactly human. MC would be the person to kill him but it would have to be via MCs aether core/evol powers to really kill him
Work on yourselves a little and you won't have to cope with husbandos.
Snek time
all ml games flopping so they have to cope
>>2008086ahh takasugi. him, yan qing, merlin, oberon, douman, taigong, asclepius, moriarty and kondo all really do it for me. if only they weren't in that goddamn game. i despise how the overly bloated cast means that you're practically guaranteed to not see your favorite for literal years if there's no dev favoritism (pic related between like 2018-2022). and that's after the waifu bias, even
>>2007870business as usual sadly>picrelfucking zenos. never change
>>2009566>>2008342Not feeling these. Looks like they are playing in someone else's clothes. After these are we done with this sea side plot?
>>2009633They're really boring outfits. I hope it's the end so wife is spared for something better.
>>2009633Should be, I kinda like them but they do feel a tad oversized
Finally best boys come to the scene.
>>2009666this hs isekai story is so fucking ridiculous that I'm coming around on it...and I'm not even a big Lucifer fan
>>2009624i play fgo purely to collect husbandos so i just skip every waifu unless she's a support for my boys, fgo is ass when it comes to gender ratio but at least the Valentines day scenes are guaranteed for everyone...the quality of them varies though so i'm happy Takasugi's is extremely (you)bait bc husbando fanservice is caught between "being treated as a friend bc moids don't want to feel gay" or "having slight you(bait) but it's never as blantant waifu pandering". The one thing fgo has going with their boys though is their huge design variety
Ms President, a second realistic 3D otome has hit the tower: https://files.catbox.moe/43ewfr.mp4https://xhslink.com/m/9jTD8XswwtJThe game is Last Serenade. They released the trailer right after Silent Whispers' trailer so no one noticed it lol.There's a 4 months old interview with the developers discussing the features and goals of the game: https://news.17173.com/content/01292026/173423606.shtmlBut basically they are using UE5 as base and want to have AI-powered features like puzzles and levels that are generated on the spot. Some bits from the article translated with DeepL:>Its AI-integrated gameplay offers greater freedom than existing otome games on the market, and its design direction differs from common AI companion apps. Last Serenade occupies a middle ground between the two, presenting a hybrid product format.>First, in terms of user experience design, Last Serenade adopts a dual-track structure, clearly dividing the overall experience into two interconnected parts: the Main World and the Mirror World.>Set in a postmodern metropolis, the Main World serves as the stage for companionship, dating, and daily interactions, offering an experience closer to the dating games players are familiar with.>Through ongoing conversations, dates, and everyday interactions, players advance their relationship with the character, reinforcing the sense of stability and sweet daily life inherent in a long-term romantic companionship.>In contrast, the Mirror World centers around "endless dungeon runs".>In the Mirror World, the game centers on AI-driven story-based levels to create a narrative-driven Roguelike experience.1/2
>The so-called “infinite loop” is not merely a repetitive challenge; rather, when players re-enter the same dungeon multiple times, the narrative path is no longer fixed but is generated through a combination of player choices and real-time AI interpretation. In terms of level design, the rules and core narrative framework are established by the content creators, while the puzzles and narrative twists within the 3D dungeon environments are dynamically generated. The goal is to provide a differentiated experience for different players while maintaining the overall direction of the story.>According to the developers, the sense of immersion in this aspect is closer to that of a murder mystery game or an offline escape room. Players will simultaneously act as both director and actor, adjusting the story’s parameters based on their own choices and gradually piecing together the full truth through exploration. Unlike existing AI puzzle games, the development team prefers not to limit AI usage to text-based dialogue prompts; instead, they aim to “personalize” everything from the narrative to the player’s experience, thereby achieving an infinitely replayable gaming experience.>Enhanced by the immersive perspective of a 3D RPG, the game further amplifies the sense of companionship and presence. During exploration, players will encounter the male protagonist, who acts more like a “playmate” traveling side-by-side with the player. Driven by large AI models, he can respond to the player’s real-time actions, allowing interactions to go beyond preset options and fostering more spontaneous exchanges within the framework of his character. He can move freely within the boxed-in levels, interact with the player in various ways, and work together to solve puzzles and advance the story.>In terms of presentation, the game does not adhere to a single narrative format but instead interweaves dialogue-driven storytelling, cutscenes, and free exploration within the same experience.
>>2009836>another realistic 3d game>BUT this time, to spice things up, they have ai-slop mixed in
>>2009836>LaDS but chatbotsWhy even
>>2009836Nothing about this sounds interesting and LI designs even less so but I'll wait for actual gameplay before judging
>>2009837>According to the developers, the sense of immersion in this aspect is closer to that of a murder mystery game or an offline escape room.I'm not crazy about the AI thing but this aspect sounds interesting.
>>2009839>>2009842At least it's not another 2D card collector or idol manager slop lol
>>2009856The bar is really low, huh...
>>2009836So basically a Walmart version of LADS.
>>2009836>>2009837>3D realistic artstyle again>AI sloppa We're going to be stuck in LADS clone hell for the next few years aren't we? I really hope at least one corpo uses their brain and makes something with an anime artstyle instead just trying to ride LADS' coattails
>realistic 3D with more AI pushbeggars can’t be choosers I guess
>>2009876Tbh i'm not mad that we're more 3D games for us but it's just disappointing how it's all just LADS clones so far. The one good thing tho is that it means LADS will get competition if either of these gains a decent enough playerbase, I just wish we had something like Silver Palace or even HSR style husbando game. Hoping that the Sanrio joseimuke will be at least something decent but we've got no info on it since it was announced last year. My trust in Japan to make a good joseimuke is nonexistent so i don't have my hopes up
>>2009837>when players re-enter the same dungeon multiple times, the narrative path is no longer fixedI wonder if this means the dungeons will be more like Wizardry or the tower from Persona 3
>>2009836these two are literally sylus clones kek
>>2009871You'd think that anime-style characters would be easier to design. But devs always have to copy what's popular.
Sexy as hell
>>2009923Are there anymore Syluses I should know about
>>2009878Every single boy there is a wife except for the on in the top back, who I can only assume is my best friend, the main character or the villain
>>2009983The guy in the top back is one of the three leaders, same rank as the hello kitty main guy and the cinnamoroll guy also I never noticed until now but there's some weird glitchy stuff with hello kitty on the main guy's page
>>2009878>Multi media projectYou already know it's not gonna be good, although I am interested simply because I like some of the artistsOn that note, would be neat if they put in some maimaimaigoen characters simply because I also like some of the artists there (and vocaloid producers). They're both multi media projects, it makes sense in a cosmic sort of way
>>2009970the way they just copy pasted sylus's face onto the redhead kek
>>2009970i don't play Lads but i know Sylus bc of stuff /here/, so can Ladsisters please explain why he's the one corpos keep copy pasting instead of the other boys?
>>2010034He's the "popular one" as I gather.Which is flimsy since I don't use other sites nor do I play LaDS, but that's been my impression. Although people here talk about Caleb so much I'd think he quietly took over at some point, but probably just bias
You've drawn too much attention to yourselves, femcels. Now you are under fire.
>>2010034i swear i saw somewhere that according to polls he's really only popular in the west while places like japan prefer the gentler/softer ones
>>2010034tbf every other Chinese otome has a "mysterious" LI with short silver hair.It predates Sylus. But new ones are starting to morph into Sylus because the Chinese really are allergic to originality. Because OF COURSE what the world needs is yet another Chinese otome about parallel timelines
>>2009952My angel demons can't be this cute!
>>2010034Edgy dominant CEO/mafia boss is big with the ladies everywhere. It's been done to death in Chinese manhua.
>>2009952Wife and whore can't be this cute... it's so unfair...
>moid still seething /here/Did the waifushart gachas flop more then usual on the meme chart this month? You'd think waifucucks would actually support their games instead of pissing themselves over joseimuke they don't play
>>2010083hoyo's most "ML" game underperformed even worse than usual, the newest waifu-onlies flopped bc these retards don't play the games made specifically for them and apparently wuwa is planning to release more males to attract more women into the game
>>2010083I'm pretty sure it's just one dude making an occasional shitpost for the most part
where's my zayne clone (actually please don't)
>>2010111Stoic black-haired guy with a high-paying job is China's favorite stereotype
>>2009800>The one thing fgo has going with their boys though is their huge design varietyvery much agreed. it's one of the few things that keeps me with the game. nearly all the otome games posted here are filled with copy paste looking boys designed to look as generic as possible to appeal to the absolute lowest common denominator. no risks taken whatsoever. it's sleep-inducing. i have many many criticisms of omni games like fgo and hsr, but at the very least the male designs have a lot of variety outside of "half of them look like The Singular Manhwa ML Design"
>>2010070>It's been done to death in Chinese manhua.personally i'd say it's been done to death in literally everything. even mainstream movies (365 days) have tired this garbage out. not even beating a dead horse anymore, but rather beating its crumbling bones. enough of this shit
>>2010125you're basically outing me as a basic ho but i can't even get mad at that kek
>>2010144>at the very least the male designs have a lot of varietyyes, I too do love the variety of heavily covered dark haired guy who shows up once, lighter haired fully covered guy who shows up once, redheaded guy (fully covered except maybe a forearm) who shows up once. Funny colored haired guy (fully covered if you believe it!) who shows up once, silver haired guy who....
How do you play an unfun game like FGO?
>>2010165>>2010125and they usually wear bland fucking suit and tie ensembles. might as well tuck me in the way i'm being put to sleep >>20101691. coping skills honed through years of fucking bullshit and sunk cost fallacy2. the fact boys from other currently running games don't appeal to me3. bisexuality
>>2009952What are they even advertising
>>2010223their bodies
>>2009800>fgo is ass when it comes to gender ratioIsn't it better than pretty much every other gacha out there?
>>20101691. Use FGA to automate the farming for you2. Login to collect currency and roll shiny new toys3. Listen to voicelines by top tier seiyuu4. Read the story on Youtube5. Enjoy fanart on Twitter
>>2010144>those designs Are cn otome afraid of making their boys actually unique looking or something? Because at least nips actually use different colors for their LIs picrel.Even the most slop jp otome doesn't have guys this bland looking unless the company hired a really shit artist
From Zeroera creator:"A third of 2026 has already passed. In the gacha pools of major mainstream secondary game developers, new characters are constantly emerging, and their popularity is rising and falling.However, among these faces, there wasn't a single young boy or teenager.This is not a new problem. It's a problem that has been shelved for far too long.Some say there are too few players who like shota boys. Others say this group doesn't have enough spending power. Still others point to the revenue and say the market has already given its answer.I don't accept this answer.In 2024, like many fellow fans within the circle, I am indulging in a simple daydream -- if I were a game designer, I would definitely create a strong male character.There shouldn't be only one track. We've come together not because this is easy, but precisely because it's difficult enough—so difficult that no one else is willing to do it, so difficult that only we can do it.Fortunately, I met a group of people. They are not content with fantasies; they choose to take action. Like me, they believe that there should not be just one aesthetic standard in this world, and in this industry.The road ahead is long and arduous. There are too many uncertainties, too many doubts, and too many "impossibilities" ahead. But I know this: every great category was once declared "impossible." Every memorable figure was once a blank "new folder."Because you believe, you see.We are not just making a game. We are seeking an account for a kind of love.Rebuild the glory of the young hero, it is our duty to do so!"
>>2010169I'm a Fatefag so my pain tolerance is extremely high
You are stuck here because nobody wants you.
>>2010325Based
>>2010325>Some say there are too few players who like shota boys. Others say this group doesn't have enough spending power. Still others point to the revenue and say the market has already given its answer.This is why I'm worried about the presence of AI chatbots in the game. Some parts of live service games are notably more expensive to maintain than others, and AI-driven functions are one of the most expensive elements at the moment due to the amount of resources needed to generate content of acceptable quality AND continuously supervise the AI to make sure it doesn't produce undesired results. So for an indie studio with a limited budget working on their first project aimed at a niche within a niche, the cost of maintaining these AI bots on top of the usual costs of doing a live service game (continuous development of new levels and characters, translations, music, voice acting, adding new elements to the economy that have the risk of breaking it, dealing with rabid fans and haters, etc.) has the risk of becoming bigger than their potential source of income.I know these features were planned early in the development, and I applaud their dedication to making their dream shota game a reality, but honestly I would prefer that the devs begin with a smaller (and less expensive) game and add those more costly features once a steady source of income has been secured. I hope they prove me wrong and the game and its AI chats become a success.
>>2010088>hoyo's most "ML" game underperformed even worse than usualNot surprising. ZZZ is fucking awful with how MLfags thought hoyo's main audience was waifushitters and not normalfags. Yenless zero is only still alive due to HSR and genshit's revenue being funneled into it>the newest waifu-onlies flopped bc these retards don't play the games made specifically for themWaifushitters are a minority that can't hold up any game by themselves. They'll piss and cry about "muh males are killing the game" when the biggest and most mainstream games are omnislop and not waifukek onlies. >apparently wuwa is planning to release more males to attract more women into the gameWasn't there rumors Kuro wanted to make an otome game too? Judging by how waifukeks aren't exactly happy with them anymore I wouldn't be surprised if they were making more males to see what'll attract yumes
>>2010325Not even the game's target audience and I want to see it do well.
>>2010309it is better compared to the average omnislop just for the fact that it's not afraid to give males interesting designs and sexo outfits, the gender ratio is still pretty off but they at least give their males more story importance and screentime and you've got a lot of personality types to choose from >picrel is a father and son btw
>>2010376Why hasn't fgo made a 3d gacha yet?
>>2010376Because Japan actually has artists that care about making good unique male character designs compared to every single chink omni gacha that keeps inbreeding designs bc they all copied genshit males and called it a day.
>>2010382Wait for the Fate/Extra remake->Delayed indefinitely N-nevermind
>>2010325TLDR: sometimes you just gotta do it yourselfI'll be there day one
>>2010382they did, but since nips are outdated when it comes to trends so they made it an arcade game. it died when arcades fells out of fashion, it was also kinda janky looking too >>2010386it's the one thing i think jp has over cn but corpos in nipland are slow as shit when it comes to adapting so none of them have managed to make anything on the level of modern chink 3D gacha let alone a joseimuke, it's a damn shame, i'd kill for a 3D jp gacha with male designs like fgo
>>2010382you mean open world? probably bc jp is allergic into putting effort outside of art and voice acting and why do all that when ur low effort gacha already makes enough bank?also bc they probably saw what happened with endfield and new 3d omni games in general and don't want to repeat another tribe 9
>>2010395>tribe 9Tribe 9 should never have been a gacha. The designs didn't appeal to anyone outside of Danganronpafags and they don't play gacha. I'll never understand why jp thought it was a good idea to use the weird ugly ass artstyle of that franchise for a new gacha IP when the biggest selling point of gachas are the pretty characters.
>>2010376Going off a reddit post from last year the numbers are >149 male servants>246 female servants (minus summer: 188 - number is calculated by subtracting the summer mode servants, which is 60 and then adding a few more because some servants are only Summer in costumes and ascensions, specifically Mash, Lady Avalon and Aesc)>21 unknown servants (minus summer mode: 19, Caenis and Okita Alter are unknown)So that's 38% male 62% female, not counting the unknowns. If you exclude summer dupes it's 44% male 56% female. Can you actually name a popular gacha with a better ratio because I can't think of any, outside of the Shounen Jump/Gundam ones>>2010382Fgo's strength is in it's story and characters, it hinges entirely on the writers who operate as a small doujin circle, not even kidding. They do last minute rewrites and delay things to ensure quality they're satisfied with. You can't have this with a 3D gacha which needs much more time to prepare assets in advance. If you force it you just become another hoyosloppa that shits out garbage in order to make the min word limit
>>2010382They know 2D games are better for the mobile market.>infinitely less expensive to develop and maintain>consume less resources so they can reach a wider market>don't have to pay fees to Unreal/Unity and making a 2D engine it's easier than a 3D one >2D artwork ages better than 3D models>unless you heavily limit what you can do in 3D games, 2D games will always be easier to play on a touch screen3D games with free movement only make sense if you plan to release them on PC and consoles.
>>2010409>Can you actually name a popular gacha with a better ratio the only ones that come to mind are square enix gachas but they fucking suck at managing them so
>>2010148I don't even really get itThe archetype is often not written in a fun way and it comes off as cheesy and shallow. Is the appeal mostly just getting off or something?Only character of this archetype I can think of that I liked was Jumin in Mystic Messenger, which is owed a lot to the general tone and direction of the game. He spends most of it being funny autistic cat man, and his friends pester and bicker over his more paranoid tendencies in his own route so it feels about as awkward as it should. I'd still take the twins and Yoosung first, but he's alright
Come back to Granblue sis
>>2010325extremely based and I will get them pregnant in the AI chat mode

You girls are 6/10 at best and that's on a good day.
>>2010467>square enixI will never forgive them for SB69
>>2010706japan really does have the best character designs...all just to be wasted on dead multi media slop
>>2010725Why are joseimuke in jp so obsessed with multi-media slop anyways? I swear that if it's not some shitty music project then it's a shitty drama CD project that results in the property either being super niche, obscure outside fandoms, or it dies bc of both factors. Why not just make a good game?
>>2010767Multi-media isn't always bad but companies are always flying too close to the sun trying to make their brand new, bland characters to be some sort of obsession with fans that will make them profit less from the game and more from making it an IP to release merch and other shit for.Hypmic was purely a multi-media project that started from music and lives, had a relatively big popularity boom until it was left out to die (games were also not very good either).
>>2010319>Are cn otome afraid of making their boys actually unique looking or something?sure seems so and i hate it. it's my absolute least favorite thing about those games and the reason i either dropped or won't play any of them (minus lovebrush for cael aka the only long haired one)
>>2010706Shingan Crimsonz my beloved come back
>>2010767My best guess is they're still afraid women will not play video gamesWhich is funny, since it's completely backwards from my preferences. I will never consider a drama CD, I am picky with music, but a vidya with cute boys and/or nice visuals? Sign me up
>>2010767>Why are joseimuke in jp so obsessed with multi-media slopThis isn't exclusive to joseimuke and it's not new either. Pretty much everything has a drama CD or a stage play or a manga to go along with it.
>>2010767>Why are joseimuke in jp so obsessed with multi-media slop anyways?It's to milk customers as hard as possible.Imagine this, while you wait for idol manager card game #2349 to come out (or after the game is out and before it's put into maintenance and eventual EOS), you can prove your devotion to generic pretty boy #47592 by buying posters, pillows, cups, audio dramas, novels and toilet seats featuring it. By the time you admit the game is garbage and it was all a scam, the company's fat executive will have already retired and used your money to buy a house in the country.

FGO has some great boys but it's absolutely not worth playing for the husbandos. It's still the same omnislop.
>>2013031This is a blue board
>100 rolls to get both Yakumo and ReiI wonder when the collab will happen.
>>2013421It'll probably come after a really big banner

>>2013516Whore's mouth privileges are so inspirational...

Company behind Ananta is now also developing a 3D otome game
>>2014238NTE flopped so i guess they saw the writing on the wall lmao
>>2014238please please no LADS clone
>>2013516He's so hot, nukani artists are the best
>>2014238 Ananta is not even out. This will be released in 2035 at the very least.
>>2014353omnislop makes less and less each year and every new waifu-only game is flopping harder than ever, the only unsaturated market left is for women and with LADs being the only competitor its no wonder other big corpos are speeding to be the next big money maker, I wouldn't be surprised if Ananta gets pushed back to prioritize this game
>>2014019They kept trying and failing to make it seem like eito was in control
>>2014238>>2014373They can save Ananta by genderbending all the women and getting rid of male mc option, everything else can stay the same. Now it'll make money.
>>2014238In 4 years they'll reveal it and it will still look like LaDS
>>2014480this but make the male MC a playable unit instead
>>2014480my life for even just one game like this.I like otome elements, I like and play LaDS, but damn what I wouldn't give for just one dev to wake up, see the hugely untapped market, and push out an open world game like nte or ananta without all the waifuslop
theres yet ANOTHER fucking LADs clone that just came out with a new trailer but I already have 3dp fatigue so I'm not even gonna bother posting but if you're curious enough its called Code Cloud
>>2014480>and getting rid of male mc optionBut the male MC is literally the only good thing about Ananta
>>2014537this, I'm perfectly happy with a non-romance focused 3d anime open world as long as it has only cute boys and dating options plus male mc for the fujo sisters
>>2014520>Post "joke" about Ananta game looking like LaDS>Immediately afterI am going to KILL myself
>>2014549They keep getting more and more 3DPD...
>>2014511Same. But moids unfortunately don't understand any of this, look how many corpos are scrambling to make LADs clones instead of making a more unique husbando game, they just see LADs' money and think "yeah i can make that too". If anything we'll keep getting LADs clones until it becomes oversaturated and then moid corpos will try something new, like an actual anime artstyle. It's baby steps. I fucking hate it but unless corpo moids realize they can't all be the next LADs, we're stuck with 3dp and Sylus alts.>>2014537>>2014547I don't want a male mc option just for the fact that it insures moids won't even touch the game. Fem only mcs with a male only cast are one of the best ways to keep people from asking to add waifus in the game, plus I doubt any chink corpo would have dating options with a male mc with how fujos are getting jailed for making porn in chinkland currently.
>>2014607>I don't want a male mc option just for the fact that it insures moids won't even touch the game.Wasn't there a statistic of 10% of LaDS players being moids?
>>2014623Those are just actual gay guys tho
>>2014635If gays are ok for you, then I don't think you need to worry about straight moids invading joseimuke to ask for waifus when they already have a shitton of games.Yurifags are more likely to do that.
>>2014520>>2014549The official pages list the game as a "3D open-world AI-companion romance mobile game", which makes me believe that it will be a chatbot with minigames rather than a real game.Full trailer: https://files.catbox.moe/9dai13.mp4Links:https://xhslink.com/m/4BHAAsKf5gRhttps://weibo.com/u/4024016197
3D photorealistic uggosAI chatbots when women are less receptive to AIHardware-intensive in a time of hardware shortages On PC but not MacOS, SteamOS, or Switch 2Traits of games from execs who don't know their target audience
Seeing all these ugly ass (and effortless) LADS clones popping out left and right make me believe I'd rather patently wait for an otome game with a combination of anime artstyle, elaborate 3D gameplay and no generative AI anything to come out, but the chances of that is slim, much less if they're made by a team of only women who genuinely give a shit about what they're doing.
>>2014549>>2014760>>2014776Besides Silent Whispers I can't see any of the others doing well, no one asked for a watered down version of LADs with less gameplay and features, might as well make another cardslop gacha at that rate.Unless they actually have something to offer other than temu version of LADs men they'll likely bomb and then moid suits will get uppity again because we didn't throw money at their lazy attempt at "pandering". Fucks sake just give me (1) 3d anime husbando action game.
>>2014549Gege but blond.
Can't any of these lads clones at least keep the battle system? That's the one part I WANT a better clone of. Just do that but with an anime artstyle and a pc version/controller support. Doesn't even have to be open world
>>2014906Best I can offer is an unoptimized AI assistant, but I know a friend who can offer you an unbalanced card game.
>>2014906Sadly the average LADS fan cares more about the companionship way more than the action gameplay, so devs aren't going to copy it.
>>2014906They should appeal to (Me) specifically and make PSO2 but as an otome game. Your party can be the boys as NPCs. It's already space/sci-fi so it works. Also keep in the symbol art feature so I can send them crude images when I lose in blackjack.The possibilities are endless, but they choose 3DPD chatbots instead.
>>2014776I find a fair amount of chatbots users are women, so it isn't entirely oddIt is however sloppy corner cutting. Not wanting to invest in writing dialog so they just leave it to a bot to talk about how minor revelations hit him like a physical blow.
It's up to ZeroEra to finally deliver a gacha with cute anime boys and most importantly with actual gameplay.

>>>>>>>>>>>>drip
I don't play games with censored males, sorry
Wish nufags fuck off and make their own thread on /y/
just realized that no one's talking about zerowake gates anymore kek
>>2015122Nah
>>2014607>Fem only mcs with a male only cast are one of the best ways to keep people from asking to add waifus in the gameYou'll just get retards asking for genderbent versions of the male characters instead.
>>2014789The cn corpo gacha sphere is just following whoever is the newest trendsetter and unfortunately for us it's LADs. Moid corpos will only see the shit like romance and the 3dp artstyle while not understanding that LADs sticks out bc it also has gameplay. So, unless we get another hit husbando gacha in an anime artstyle with good gameplay we're fucked until further notice. >>2014822>Unless they actually have something to offer other than temu version of LADs men they'll likely bomb and then moid suits will get uppity again because we didn't throw money at their lazy attempt at "pandering".This. Silent Whispers looks at least promising if the openworld part is true and it's from Infold's rival company so at least it's legit, the other shit is just AI chatbot sloppa and if they flop then moid suits are going to just blame us for not being good piggies and slurping up low effort imitations of LADs. >>2014906Majority of moid suits still think women don't want gameplay or even an interesting battle system. It doesn't help that there are retards in the joseimuke community crying about not wanting to play "difficult games" (anything that isn't rhythm or cardslop). As for the anime artstyle...it would be a miracle if a corpo figured out we want something other then 3dp.
All I want is a mobile BL game made by the creator of Hadaka Shitsuji
>>2015148>BL No chance from China. The CCP is mad at fujos again for some reason. JP is too dated and haven't made a good gacha in years.Taiwan is the only option for another BL gacha that hopefully isn't a rugpull.
>>2015157>The CCP is mad at fujos again for some reason.Apparently BL is the only thing keeping women from settling for ugly fucks and shitting out a thousand babies, so the CCP is doing another crack down on anything that makes women horny, including CEO romances
>>2015160How long until they try to ban otome
>>2015176They won't, they're steadily making otome more and more 3DPD-like to train women to accept 3DPDs
LaDS was a mistake
>>2006361>onerepublic WTF
>>2015147>there are retards in the joseimuke community crying about not wanting to play "difficult games" (anything that isn't rhythm or cardslop)I fucking hate how the success of LADs brought in so many normies that never even touched an otome or games before but now get to dictate how every big budget otome gets to be, same bitches that absolutely would use an ai shitbot bc the only literature they consume is cheap romantacy books. I'm praying that silent whispers has some kind of combat system or so help me.
There's a rumor that nu government's devs are helping N+C with the development of their own moba which is why they agreed to the collab since they have 0 trust in jp gacha devs after the VR fiasco lol so if it goes well maybe >>2015148 could happen.
>>2014954>They should appeal to (Me) specifically and make PSO2 but as an otome game.I never played pso or pso2, but I would learn if they made an otome version
>>2015126honestly feel bad for webtoon sisters the devs do not give a shit about that kusoge and keep cheapening out of everything. like they just had a collab recently and all the "new" merch uses existing cgs and default character portraits, no actual new art, pretty depressing.
I cant log into valkheart today, just me?
>>2015487I can get in just fine

>>2015176Why would they ban heterosexual garbage you retard
Companies that posted job openings for 3D otome games:Alibaba Tencent (Light and Night) NetEase (Onmyoji, Ananta, etc.) IGG (Tomb Raider) There was even an article saying it's in development + Someone received a contact from the HR person at Kuro Games (Fate/Grand Order) saying they need scenario planning personnel
>>2015581Isn't Kuro the one behind Wuthering Waves?Jesus fucking Christ. All these moids want a piece of the LADS pie and I'll bet none of them will bring anything new to the table.
>>2015581These fucking retards are just doing this now? Lmao had to take 5 other omnislops to tank before they realized that market is gigasaturated while infold raked in all the yume bucks.Anyway if even one of these suits have half a braincell they'll know that the way to stand out now is to make an anime styled husbando only game.
>>2015579Because they're already cracking down on CEO mini-dramas, talking about it gives women unrealistic ideas
>>2015596But stories about harems of rich beautiful women falling in love with total losers isn't?
>>2015596Not much of a loss, I pity girls who fantasize about being the doll of some bigshot instead of fantasizing about being the bigshot with a harem of pretty malewives at your beck and call.

>>2015596Chinese women have to fantasize about marrying rich moids because they're discouraged to do anything but become submissive wives to a manbaby that will never see them as an equal, so might as well get with one that has good money.This is for the best because it'll do the opposite that the ccp thinks and will just make more women independent and strive to be rich by their own means which will lead to more joseimuke corpos led by women who only need their virtual husbandos.

>>2015418I'm not gonna lie, I'm not sure how I'd feel with the next N+C entry being a gacha/mobage because I'd still want them to release a proper VN. They did have their try at mobile releases before with a game nobody knows about, and while the mobile market has changed now it still doesn't replace the feeling of a VN.Plus, N+C games have always been quite edgy. Mobile regulations would make it so something like Mink's BE or the entirety of sweet pool wouldn't be a thing.I'd be happy if it was some sort of "collect all characters of all previous chiral games as they do stupid shenanigans" kind of thing like the fandisc minigames used to be, which keeps the relevancy of older games afloat as a fanservice thing but just not a full on new game.
I would sooner struggle through waifufest Ananta than download NtE, truly the ugliest male designs of the year
>>2015652All Ananta showed was 3 ultrageneric dudes, at least NTE has this elf who is made for being pinned down and brutally raped.The shota is also very cute and I'm not even a shotafag.
>>2015662>Ananta has 3 ultrageneric dude>at least NTE has an... also ultrageneric dudeThat design looks like ass and the head and face doesn't even fit the body
>>2015670Eh he's pretty cute. Head wise anyway. Whatever the skeleton things are is intetesting as wellNot even remotely enough to convince me to try it though. You can keep that shit away from me
The only thing Ananta is good for is yaoi fanarts of the seme male mc dicking down the other omnislop male mcs
>>2015683do you want to share with the class?
>>2015683The MC is a hot himbo, he exists to be raped by women
>>2015718Just look at SideM art, it has a guy who looks like the Ananta MC but with shark teeth
>>2015637Here's how I see it, the VN industry as a whole has been hit with financial difficulty now in the current age of smartphones, a bunch of them went into the moba market not bc they wanted to but its the one thing keeps money pumping out enough to help them found their future VN projects and keep the lights on.When NC announced they were working on a gacha during the livestream (1-2 years ago iirc) many pointed out that they didn't seem too excited like it was something they just had to do to earn more money. Now jp is already infamous for sucking shit at developing gacha esp ones aimed at a market outside Japan and the global revenue is more important than ever to them since they're pumping money into translations.In comes NuC, THE most popular BL moba asking for a collab, their dev branch has already made several successful games and they're constantly pumping out merch that sells like hotcakes. This is the business relationship opportunity of a lifetime to get a jp gacha game that doesn't look like it was made in 2002 and bugs out all the time plus with their connections will have a simultaneous global launch and since Taiwan has no censorship laws they can be as edgy as they want thru the erolabs ver.Now this is all hypothetical but as long as whatever they're planning works out it will just be another venue to fund their actual VN projects, and everyone wins also Aoba and Eito make out sloppy style.
>>2015581Kuro made Wuthering Waves and Punishing Gray Ravens. Fate Grand Order is a JP property made by Typemoon/Lasengle that pre-dates both of those. I do believe the rumors though, ever since LADs blew up there's been a lot of info that chink corpos are now considering moving to greener pastures (husbando market) with the oversaturation of the waifu/omnislop market. The only one with no future plans for a 3D otome is Hoyo currently. Which I think is for the best considering how they've treated ToT after all these years.
>>2015904Hoyo is too busy putting their cards on petit planet which is gonna get mogged by roco kingdom the moment it gets a global release
>>2015611>backpedaled after floppingkek what a fucking bitch
>>2015157>The CCP is mad at fujos again for some reason.where are you seeing this? the only posts i found mentioning a recent bl ban are from literal who pages
>>2015918You got it wrong.Petit Planet is Hoyo's Animal Crossing clone set in space, which I personally think looks cute and has a big chance of eating Nintendo's cake if the NPCs are interesting enough (AC's biggest issue is that villagers can't stop repeating the same 5 phrases of worship) and specially if Hoyo doesn't go full jew with the gacha. Petit Planet's direct competitors, besides Animal Crossing, are Heartopia (which launched a while ago, is notably more focused on player x player interactions than AC, and currently seems to be involved in a controversy for using AI and... for racism?) and Animula Nook (which visually mogs PP hard and had an alpha test last month, but gameplay-wise has more RPG elements than AC since you wander in a garden beyond your town/room to do some things).The game competing with Roco Kingdom and Pokemon is Honkai Nexus Anima, but that game is complete trash in every way and probably began as a minigame in Genshin. For starters, the game is an autobattler, and the monsters and "trainers" are bland to the point of being offensive (the mascot is a dog with a camera stuck in its ass, while the characters are just NPCs from Honkai and Genshin). I heard that the reception for the first CBT was so negative that Hoyo is practically remaking it from the ground.
>>2015579>retard who can't understand the basic concept of men censoring material women like in the name of misogyny calling someone else a retard
>>2015444so they're putting the same amount of effort into the game that webtoon creators put into their sloppy shit webtoons. if anything the fans shouldn't be surprised>>2015608when men are involved, always expect the utmost hypocrisy
>Silent WhispersLiteral open world game >Every other LADs clones announced so farAIchatbot puzzleslop with less than half of LADs budgetKek I almost feel bad for the other copies, imagine thinking you could safely ride the imitation wave before SW got announced cuz no one's remembering the other games by next month lol
>>2014607This is why it sucks for fujos, no game can even bait except for Japanese ones but they never get popular. Can't believe Hoyoslop is stuck being the gacha for fujos to ship from.
Light and Night's CBT begins in 10 days.
>>2016696is this real?
>>2016888Yes, the SEA server isn't a hoax this time.
Can’t believe TwistedWonderland introduced this full of sexo character and then no updates about him for 3 months now, Yana you are the devil.
>>2016921Twst has one of the slowest main chapter releases i've ever experienced in a gacha, it took them 6 years to finish going through the NRC dorms and now it'll probably take just as long to go through the RSA dorms. The game is held up by the fanbase that's majority disney otakus and some normalfags. The jp part of it is ok but the westoid half is an obnoxious hellscape filled with moralfagging. The boys are cute but the game itself is ass.>t. former twstfag
>>2016956I’m aware of how long they take to release a chapter, surprisingly with book8 they went fast. But my main thing is that it’s just diabolical to release new characters that most likely will be part of the main cast and then disappear for months
>>2017020Book7*
>>2016888Yes: https://twitter.com/i/status/2053339246531117296
>>2016956Does Yana write the stories?
>>2016956>the westoid half is an obnoxious hellscape filled with moralfaggingThat's true of any western fandom in general nowadays. How else are you gonna find a reason to ostracize and isolate someone in the same fandom?
>>2017278Yana writes the mainstory chapters and draws/approves all the character designs i think, she's the main creative director of twst but other people do write the events while she reads and approves the stories
>>2017353>That's true of any western fandom in general nowadaysganbare nakamura-kun being their latest victim, i'm already scared of what'll happen with zero era's global release
>>2017428>ganbare nakamura-kunIsn't that the BL where that one cover that always gets redrawn is from? Wtf happened? I thought westoid fujos are always asking for "le wholesome" yaoi
>Sylus' event story turns (You) into a smellfagone step closer to armpit sniffing
>>2017506ganbare nakamura-kun just got made into an anime recently and it got pretty popular. the westoids who just found out about the anime got mad because they think the teacher character is flirting with one of of the boys plus the mangaka used to write shota bl. They harassed the mangaka online and she ended up deleting her twitter
>>2006361>IGNhttps://arts.columbia.edu/directory/david-gordon>A video game co-written with Hampton Fancher, (Bladerunner, Bladerunner 2049) is due in 20262026??? Or is this referring to another video game?
>>2017428nakamura-kun was inevitable bc pandering to le wholesome chungus crowd will always bite them in the ass because puritans are never satisfied with anything they latch onto.zeroera has the opposite problem, being a shota game already filters 90% of those people so I wouldn't worry too much. If anything them screeching about zero being "problematic" will only serve as good advertisement to the actual target audience. my actual fandom worries are attracting the edgy lolicon crowd that never shuts up about culture wars and their unfunny forced memes.
>>2017506>I thought westoid fujos are always asking for "le wholesome" yaoiThe problem is Nakamura-kun ISN'T 100% wholesome, and even though Syundei even requested for the anime to be "made for a general audience" (which led to some of the "less wholesome" scenes to be removed), people still harassed her.
>>2017592>nakamura-kun was inevitable bc pandering to le wholesome chungus crowd will always bite them in the ass because puritans are never satisfied with anything they latch onto.Except it had nothing to do with pandering to the "wholesome" crowd, and everything to do with having to deal with Japan's retarded ass censorship that only seems to show up when it comes to mainstream BL anime.
>>2017864I agree with that but I was mostly referring to the author herself asking for changes like completely erasing the teacher scenes to make the anime "healthier" which made no difference bc she still got her ass chewed by antis (not that I blame her for it, she thought what she was doing was for the best).
>>2016956Westeren fandom is busy begging for girls to be in the game. This is why joseimuke fans can never enjoy anything. Representation rules makes Westoids think girls in gacha are for women, and that only male centered whores would like men in games.>>2017506Wesern fans will shit on any yaoi no matter how popular it gets, even it's "heckin wholesome" someone will find something to hate, like calling people misogynist for not shipping him with a female character instead.
>>2017876Thank god westoids have 0 influence on the shit they complain about
>>2017506>>2017561>>2017876Western fujos truly are the shit-filled septic tank of any fanbase
>>2017592>being a shota game already filters 90% of those peoplethankfully>the edgy lolicon crowd that never shuts up about culture wars and their unfunny forced memes.unfortunately i think having to put up with that lot is inevitable, particularly the shotacon equivalent
>>2017592>my actual fandom worries are attracting the edgy lolicon crowd that never shuts up about culture wars and their unfunny forced memes.The ZeroEra subreeeeddit is already full of jokes about wanting to bang the shotas so it's probably too late to stop them.
>>2018028Reddit is gonna reddit but I just hope when the game releases places like twitter where actual artists and content creators frequent will come up with original jokes instead of recycling forced lolicon "memes"
>>2018072>>2018028I'd rather have people be horny for the shotas than having puritans be like "THEY'RE SONS!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEXUALIZE THEM!!"
Never seen such hatred from jp sisters than from the garumani shit that is still ongoing. Only thing I know about this game is people calling it an industry plant.
>>2019254Anything but ch 9 and pooping out lucifer and Levi cards
>>2019256What even is Tokyo Debunker? It's recommended to me on the play store all the time but I never see anyone talk about it.
>>2019256Seems like a combination of everyone hating the social media guy for being a habitual retard and the game using the otome label when it isn't particularly. There's implications and bait, but no traditional otome content.Them niggas haven't even given the new characters their affinity chats yet after 3-4 months. Or the R cards for that matter. Don't know if they're waiting for their second chapter or whatSeems like social media guy got replaced because of it though
>>2017996Blame twitter. Fujos used to have their own spaces in forums but now everyone is in each other's business and they have yurifags, yumes and straight moids all teaming up to talk about how fetishizing it is or that they're "male centered" and should be writing more yuri fic of the waifus. You can't say you don't want a female character in a joseimuke game without being called a misogynist now because they're not in spaces where they can be with people who are on the same page.
How many of you are 30+ and alone? It's not going to get any better for you.
>>20192932D card autobattle slop, but with PVP as a main feature. You can play it without doing the PVP, but it'll be slower to unlock the story since you get a lot of resources from it. This is how they drive whales.Story itself is MC getting cursed then whisked away to a secret SCP school where they try to break her curse. In the meantime she assists dudes with demon pacts in defeating anomalies, and very gradually looks into the mystery surrounding a murder on campus and the shady dealings of the institution. Technically horror themed, though feels more like drama/action. A little bit of SoL as well since the band and beach episode(s) weren't very spooky or dramatic.
>>2019367I once saw someone ask why this game in particular was so popular despite the less than stellar gameplay and saw replies saying the story was just really good how true is that?
>>2018028Unfortunately you're not in good company here either because I desperately want to fuck the shotas too
>>2019397The story/characters are why I kept playing, so I do think the plot threads are interesting and I'd like to see where they go. It just also has an issue with meandering a lot, or at least laying entirely new plot threads while not particularly answering/developing existing ones. Can't quite call it "really good" as it is. I guess it's inevitable, having to stretch the story out over the game's life while rotating a 20+ character cast, but still. Even the MC got frustrated about it since she's physically dying and they're sending her out to play with men on an island.Updates are monthly at least, so no waiting and wondering for new chapters.
>>2019256Lovebrush remembered! Yeah that social media manager is a baka. Let me go read more of Eden
>>2018028>>2018934>>2019410I should have elaborated, calling the zeroera shotas our hot sexy boywives is not only good but necessary in order to gatekeep them away from puriteens and the like and I encourage such behaviors as much as possible. What I don't want to see is the fandom just becoming the girl version of the western moid lolicon community not only because most lolipedos are actual predators irl but they are the a cancer to otaku communities as a whole because of their obsession with inserting politics into everything and constantly getting into fandom wars because they're so easily ragebaited. At least most puritans have the excuse of being naive teens who will eventually grow out of it but moid lolicons are grown ass men constantly making up scenarios to get mad at while contributing nothing of value to their own fandom except le funny animu girl saying slurs and crying emoji spam coined by an actual irl pedo.Since it would be a kind of niche game it would be nice if it would go the way of nucani where 90% of the fandom is just sisters sharing and enjoying sexy husbando art and homegrown memes while blocking undesirables instead of engaging in ragebait.TLDR: talking about sexy shota legs - good, rehashing unfunny moid memes instead of creating your own - bad and cringe
The elephant in the room is that the shotacon fanbase is full of men and ZeroEra is technically not joseimuke
>>2019513The devs are men aren't they? I have wondered about that.The MC seems mystery gender though, so I'll play it anyway.
>>2019513I mean that's obvious by the fact that the devs actually care about the game having gameplay and the MC not having a specific gender, which is great for me personally since I'm a fujo and shota is less popular with yumes than BL media so it makes sense. The game can target who it wants as long as I have my cute datable Shos and a fun moba I'll be satisfied.
>>2019513it never pretended to be which I appreciate, nothing more I hate than devs lying to try and gain an audience they won't actually care for like omnishits do. that being said they do seem more than happy to appease us since they did the whole changing designs to be less bara-like and more cute.plus, they said if the demand is high enough they'll consider adding taller bishonens which is pretty interesting
>>2019254>>2019275are these lazy faggot devs serious? nearly a year and a half now. worst of any game i've ever seen by a large margin. i used to play this shit daily years ago but my interest has dropped off hard the past few months
>>2019505>picrelthat open shirt and lace oh my fucking sexo. looking forward to this one, i really hope there are some perverted shotas and maybe even a dominant one
>>2019514>The devs are men aren't they?The producer (Xiao Ji) and the people that accompany him during streams are men, and I think the founder of the company (Caka) is a man too but I can't confirm it.Regardless, it's clear that the game will keep things ambiguous enough to let women self-insert too, even if it's just to avoid chink censorship for "promoting same-sex relationships".>>2019524>they said if the demand is high enough they'll consider adding taller bishonensThe whole setting of the game is that a disaster turned all humans into shotas. Unless the bishies are robots/monsters/ayys/time travelers or people from the past that froze themselves before the shotapocalypse I don't see this happening.>>2019534The boy in that pic is Kyougoku Masamune from Touken Ranbu lol.>i really hope there are some perverted shotas and maybe even a dominant oneParacel (pic related) seems to be a mad scientist who is degenerate enough to modify his own body and even wear a leotard and who would do the same to others.
>>2019505>our hot sexy boywiveshow is this any less cringy than "cunny" or "cute and funny" or any other pedo meme?
>>2019553correct me if im wrong but i swear the disaster/disease only stopped them from aging, not turning them overnight while possibility killing most adults so there could be older guys existing just very rare survivors
>>2019555That's a general statement not a forced meme, call them whatever you want
>>2019562The game is set centuries after the "Scarlet Tide" fucked up the world, created weird monsters and made humans get stuck in a permanent "youthful appearance". The adults who survived the original disaster are dead by now (unless they had an unnatural way to stay alive for so long), while everyone else is stuck in pubescent bodies barely capable of reproducing.The plot is kinda like Splatoon's now that I think about it. Both games even have beings that resemble children but technically are adults.
>>2019505I fully agree with you aside from the various blanket statements which seem wildly incorrect like the statements about dorontabi or 'most'. I think you have a wildly skewed sample and/or bias
>>2019608>incorrect about dorontabiwhich ones? him bragging about his 60GB+ of "child gravure" magazines, when he drew "parodies" of real existing cp videos, him mass deleting his socials once ppl pointed these things out and then the loli fandom he drew fanart for banding together to memoryhole these facts while claiming he actually deleted bc of le evil feminists harassing him?I'll admit generalizing them all like that was bias on my part but as it stands I do not have a high opinion on lolicons, at least the ones who are men and as loud and annoying as the westoids.
>>2019591ah ok that makes sense, than you sis. i love my legal shota wives.
>>2020170>still cockteasing rinfags like thiswhy is nu gov so cruel?
>>2019608>seem wildly incorrect like the statements about dorontabiI saw a korean post the other day where there were screenshots where he unironically genuinely was recommending an user where to buy child gravure books / videos and even talked about his favorite ones. And also knew about how "taboo" it was but it was "impossible to resist such cute girls", real girls by the way.I think when you start to actually look at real children and have an extensive knowledge of where to look at more children pictures you don't have that leverage of thinking he doesn't want to fuck kids.It's not the same if some lolicon/shotacon simply sticks to 2D and knows every 2D work under the sun, but if they say "oh yeah the kindergarten at (x street) and postal code (y-777) at (state) has such cute kids at 10am-11am when they go out to lunch. Be careful to not startle them when approaching" that sounds very pedo.
>>2020327they've been honing their cruelty for years
>>2019513Here's hoping fujos and some yumes take over.
>>2020356>>2019746Well I'm learning new things, how unfortunate
Gacha Husbandos subreddit now shilling that AI slop game NTE and deleting anyone who says the game is garbage for using AI. Why are all reddit mods so retarded?
>>2021286they have to be getting paid by hotta, before it was almost unanimous that the game was shit even for the AI drama bc the quality of male units were laughably bad compared to the waifus. no actual husbando fan is playing for those uggos, they make genshit's mid-ness to shame.
>>2021286Why should I care if something is AI or not? I give no shit personally.
>>2021286I keep telling you omnishitters have no dignity or standards, they will keep eating slop and continue crying about why they only get slop in return.
>>2021394Looks good to me but they need to wear less clothes
>>2021537please get better standards, even endfield has cuter boys than this
>>2021544I don't like any of the guys in Endfield, sorry.
Any new/upcoming games not open world? So tired of open world shit
>>2021602Reign of Nightfall aka Project Bangbang is speculated to have EN translations in their coding so hopefully global announcement soon, that new BL game by sg arts....uh yeah I got nothing else.

The EN account also had a similar problem a few months ago kek who do they hire to run their accounts
>>2021645Also a new qt shota npc/beast for the event which made me realize this game is sorely lacking in cute NPCs
>>2021633Thanks sis, will be on the lookout for thatSucks how it potentially might be the only one for me
>>2021647might have to give this game a try if zeroera doesn't come out soon enough
>>2021537You'd enjoy a turd on a stick if it was a 3d open world game, hoyocuck
>>2021602I wish I could get sick of open world but I have not touched any as there still isn't a single male-only one aside from the upcoming LADs competitor
Maybe I was too harsh on Infinity Nikki. At least their male (and female) characters don't look like 5s omnislop mockups. And they have the right idea trying to balance a laidback playstyle and engaging mechanics even though the implementation can be wonky. In this genre we can't trust that competing games won't opt for being as braindead as possible instead.
>>2021681There's people here playing 3DPD-style otome and W I D E gookshit, if it's you, I don't think you're in a position to criticize malesluts designs.I don't play Hoyoshit though. The writing alone makes me want to kms.
>>2021682Got old real quick and it's all the same shit. Haven't played one in years.And never a good ratio of malesReally really wanted to get into LADs, but I just couldn't
>>2021743passable / very cutehideous / npcrapeable / hideous
>>2021743Still prefer fully 2d styled boys but this is miles better than LADs at least. Infold needs to go full anime for one game and they'll have my money.
>>2021743Does that dragon boy have a THICK, SQUEEZABLE tail?
I can't take him and his scaly glory trail seriously
>>2021796>See no tail*ptoo*

>>2016112I hear Petit Planet’s monetization system will most likely be the seasonal battle pass you can get furniture and clothing sets from, not sure if they’re gonna add anything else.Should we make a thread about this game? It’s closed beta, but I assume some people here got in it,
