Hate to ask this here, but I have zero experience with hex editing and I'm trying to hex edit Yumeiro Alouette with the noDVD thing. How do I do this? I'm using HxD.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10850167
Not really the best place to be asking this, but basically you change the value where it's supposed to be changed. For example, if for some reason it's 0000004E, it would be second to last on the 5th row. Do note that it's hexadecimal, so it goes from 0 to F, if you're having trouble finding it. Also, if you aren't sure, back up the original before saving the file and testing it out.

This isn't really strictly about VNs, but once I finish 信天翁航海録, 装甲悪鬼村正, and 仏蘭西少女, what do I play if I want to challenge myself? Those just have high kanji counts, but there are probably others with similar overall vocab or something, right?

Honestly if you want to catch up you could just read Tae's route in the original, the flashback in the fandisk (unlocked after doing everything else but you could just ctrl through) and Akemi's route in Shuumatsuron and you'll have everything you want.

The Akatsuki games aren't something you read for the story or some kind of grand conclusion but for the banter, humor and Kaito being a badass, having just the base should be enough for Reminiscence.

I entered the Otome tag in the link in my previous post. You can look at all the tags here:
http://vndb.org/g

The easiest way to find more games that you'll like is to look at one you already know you like and then search for games with similar tags. You can also exclude tags that you dislike, search by language, platform, etc. Though for translations, a game is already marked for that language even if the translation is incomplete. You'll have to look at the actual game page, a blue little + in a square icon means incomplete, green means complete. You'll see what I mean.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10854209
They're not translators but fast to use dictionaries. Obviously you shouldn't completely rely on them either and even if you "only" use them to look up unknown kanji I'd still recommend taking their results with a grain of salt as they tend to fuck up spoken language or long-ass words.
Only a madman would try reading something like Oretsuba with their help.

It depends a lot on yourself. Are you going to just skim through the unknown words, only reading the spelling and use the programs as a crutch, or try to memorize new stuff as it comes along? I personally found them really helpful when starting.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't really understand why Aoyama is always such a huge VN General divider.
First time I heard her was in Grisaia and Asairo so perhaps I just subconsciously associate her voice with the great characters, but even without those I probably wouldn't call it "bad".

Though I admit she has the same problem as Kawashima Rino. Seems they both can only perform one voice, and it really tends to stands out from the other cast.

They probably couldn't tell who she is.

I have a few questions , /jp/.

Years ago, I once saw a game about psychic battles (had actual game play, turn based?) which had an OP song named "End of Misery" or something like that, which I liked a lot, but lacked the japanese skills to read or somehow get the game. I would like to play that game, but I need a name. Anybody here knows the name?

Anybody here ever played a doujin game named Shirairo Neiro? It was about a mute girl, very old game. Was it good?

There's a good reason why anon won't link any of them. It's better for your sanity, honestly. The majority of those otoge review blogs don't even throw out proper reviews, they're more like clunky summaries with perhaps a small paragraph containing their own thoughts. No analyzing involved or what you're in store for which is how reviews should be written. You'll also find that most otoge bloggers tend to use childish emoticons and honestly use the word bishie/ikemen or whatever. Of course, I'm not saying that applies to all. But most.

When they're good, they're great. I'm not going to link them here, but sometimes they can be insightful and informative. Two otoge bloggers collaborated on a podcast last year about various aspects in otoge and it was very well thought out. Made me respect them.

Most people who read otoge blogs are idiots anyway, only wanting a quick summary of things so they can beg for a translation or play with some translator. .

[Anonymous No.]

>>10857424
Depends on what you're after, if you want the fresh stuff, you'll need an access to private servers which are hard to get into. Old but rare files and things imported from public networks like Share and BT are traded on the public ones. If you have a large collection with properly named files and know how to talk Japanese people into trading with you then you could try using it, but setting this shit up is a bit of a hassle. The most popular public servers need a Japanese IP, so you'd need to use proxifier with those and set it as if you were behind firewall. My problem is that I can't talk non-retarded Japanese so if I silently enter someone's queue, he usually ignores me. I wouldn't recommend this network to the impatient because it takes a lot of time before you start a trade, not to mention complete it if your connection is slow. The whole network declined a bit in the recent years compared to the time when there used to be around 2000 people logged in on the largest servers.

By the way, the file management is complete shit because you can't add a single file (only whole folders) and if you delete a file from the list you delete it from the disk instead of deleting it from your shared files.

This is a guide to private servers but I think it applies to public ones as well:

Doing Eien no Aselia right now. The art style takes a lot of getting used to. Some of the CGs at least are pretty good, but damn the character sprites hurt to look at. Combat's pretty fun, and I like how they managed to create significant individual differences in every spirit's combat aptitude despite them having mostly the same types of skills. Such as Halion having massive HP but few defensive skills, and Nanaru's complete specialization in AoE damage.

Although I feel there was too much Chika focus on the ero side, the other girls needed a bit more and it would have been a perfect nukige. I guess they had to rush everything for this game.

Is there anything I should be reading instead since apparently a new version comes out next month? I haven't read all that much Chuuni but after going through the Steampunk series something entirely different was called for.

But I can't help but think that they save in the wrong places. Would it really break their budget to draw one generic soldier sprite? Or at least have some soldiers on the cgs? There were supposedly 10000 of them around.
Or is this some weird stylistic choice since they also didn't bother in Dies Irae where it would have been a lot more important.

[Anonymous No.]

Again, you are dismissing all their precursors. Eroge were well defined before that when Tenshitachi no Gogo came. Even with all the smut and linear playstyle, you can see that the basic stereotypes and usual plot was already there.

What To Heart enjoyed and others not was the advent of the internet. Before it all you had were magazines or if you were one of the few kids who could afford a computer and had access to internet. Popularity through media.

And Minky Momo came first as a popular magical girl anime/manga, nerd.

The writing barely acknowledges the existance of anyone except for the main cast anyway. It was a bit better in KKK but I hope Masada works more on creating a narrative that has a wider scope than just preparing stages for people to fight in his next game.

That was precisely my point. Neither was the first to do what it did, but they were both the first to bring it to mainstream attention and set up the formula that would become the standard for years to come.

ToHeart packaged elements from earlier games together, and after it was released, it was ToHeart being copied, not those earlier games. So yes, it did pretty much define the genre.

I'll give you that, though that's mostly because the newer Precure stuff is also pretty shit. I still consider CCS to be basically the peak of the genre.

what does this even mean

its a good cartoon (i never read the comic)

i think that anons point is that things need other things to build on top of

if were talking in terms of genre then nobody thinks sailor moon is the first magical girl show and the most overall influential magical girl show was the first 1 (i think it was some black and white cartoon and it was basically just a fluke that it happened to be a magical girl show) but the original arguement is about things causing some breakthrough in a genre

I didn't do Natsume's route so I can't compare, but Risa's route felt the opposite to me - it had just as much comedy as the common route (actually even funnier in my opinion) and basically 0 drama, so I was really surprised. I heard Sakura's was supposed to be good too.

If you really like Natsume, I think you can bear through it. It wasn't too bad in the beginning. She has some really cute moments too.
It really sucks towards the middle of the route where it becomes tedious. It's that whole "I'm not sure what I'm feeling so I'm just going to run away from you without saying anything" type of situation. It seemed out of character for her and went on for far too long, but whatever.
