>>8732924 Not sure if I can even say "already?". Surprised there wasn't even the smallest thread on /v/ about it. Damn shame that any community effort is stuck with Koikatsu.
>>8734229 Last time I checked it didn't even have a proper slider unlocker and bonemod. It takes 10 times more effort to write plugins because everything is obfuscated and encryped.
>>8734379 Basically SVS+, now with a 3d roaming map, a handful of new outfits and hairstyles, plus fucking awful optimization and even comes with a 5P scene which seems to be designed to melt your gpu.
>>8734775 >svs+ no aicomi is the next koikatsu-like game, ie a game with only one male mc and a harem of mostly passive girls waiting to be used.
>>8734805 aa2u is still the goat. svs dropped the ball hard by making the map too small and not having pregnancy system. Also hard to mod. They need to make aa3 and go all out on the fetishes, instant win.
>>8735002 Flashbacks of Sexy Beach Premium Resort. So ambitious, yet horrible execution & performance. If only they have competent programmers. How's the performance on AiComi?
>>8736996 It's really funny because programmer and game designer are the two positions they NEVER open hiring spots for. They seem to only hire 3D modeler and artist on project by project basis.
>>8736965 I mean, it's a blatant rehash of Koikatsu with marginally better graphics and no modability (the sole reason KK still has an active community). Who the hell would even be interested in that? If they're not gonna let up on their anti-mod stance the least they can do is do what KISS does and just have one game they release a boatload of DLC for rather than shitting out a bad remake of one of their older games every year, at least then a community might start to form.
>>8732924 Lmao I just found out today about this game. SVS killed this studio. There's no reason to play anything other than KK, and that's just because of the studio autism.
>>8734187 Which board? Are you talking about the one on their /v/ or somewhere else? That site is difficult to navigate. I took a peek and that thread is fucking dead. At least, when compared to the usual /kkg/ thread here.
>>8737712 Considering how badly kk did at sales compared to even openly bad illusion games? I doubt I feel like a lot of kk fans for some reason mistake their feeligns about things, with facts
>>8736996 Fucking terrible. I could tolerate the awful optimization if there are something new in the game but it looks like they literally just copied pasted all the H animations from the 2 previous games, while removed all the MMF 3P since only one character with dick is allowed here.
>>8738600 You're actually retarded if you think DLsite is the sole place everyone buys H games from. Go back and do proper sales indication, using multiple sales channels, both physical and online dummy.
>>8743814 >Is it Japan only? Haven't play new game yet, but in summer scramble you could do it fine, as long as your game wasn't shitty repack. Doubt that they limited it to japs now
Saw another anon ask but does anyone have a link to aa2 or koikatsu generals? I have no clue what board they are on. All the links are either dated or dead.
>>8745469 they are both in the 2x4chan /v/ board, they prefered to stay over there because of IDs and because they had a guy sperging out every moment in their thread talking to himself half the time so they just canned the thread here, it is a pretty quiet thread though.
>>8732924 Playhome was peak graphic design. Honey select 2 was ok. Just make honey select 3 with playhome graphics, make it free roam sandbox and slap chatgpt on it. Ill send all of my money to illusion, im being 300% serious, i dont even want the rape stuff or monster bestiality hardcore shit, just wholesome dating, handholding and making love. Thats fucking it. Get the fuck out of here with that chink cartoon shit, the pseudo realistic plastic 3D doll aesthetic is peak masturbation material
>>8746991 The real move was people splintering off into various discords they were already in anyway, the general was always just an anonymous feedback thread with people begging for leaks. These days everyone's either in a server or begging for leaks on kk.now and the few who truly cared for anonymity over all else are on 2x4but as you can see that's barely anyone
>>8738600 >I feel like a lot of kk fans for some reason mistake their feeligns about things, with facts They're retarded. I remember how they whined about sunshine for years despite the fact that sunshine was better in every fucking way.
An this game runs like dogshit on my 3070ti. You literally cannot enable any of the graphical settings or it will stutter like shit. Even with that some bigger open areas lag. What the fuck is wrong with these devs?
a new illusion game came out and it sucks shit as usual but this time nobody's talking about it and there's no repack or anything... it's truly over...
>SVS unmoddable not true anymore, some broke the seal on it since it stopped getting updates. it's all locked behind KK discord who decided it was theirs now, enimaroah himself is helping spearhead it. >aicomi DOA if a small part of kk took in svs an even smaller part took in aicomi lol >aa2g on life support still is, a few autists still modding for it. one bigger autist is trying to recreate it ground up. >kkg on life support they're also on 2x4 chan. they're both under the /v/ catg and have been bumplocked for months yet are still up. some talked about coming back since the Purge, never did. guess its the retirement home for /generals/
illusion games will continue to necro ILLGAMES out of sheer spite and autism. the cycle broke but at what cost
Actually, some forums in a more conservative country had the resources up way earlier. But the game itself has crazy system requirements, runs like crap, and doesn’t support mods, so I’ve got zero interest in playing it.
SVS is a bit of a mess, and definitely limited but with mods it makes it easy to make a harem of Asanagi styled gyaru maso-sluts, and that's enough for me.
Can someone post the card database links? honestly i dont feel like trying to find where these guys all ran off too, also mod pages would be nice as well.
>>8746239 Late response, but... >phoenix Yes >warrior princess Yes >compatability patch for the SVS preorders Yes >mermaid No >tiger ears and tail No I'm going nuts myself trying to find the last two
>3P is coming back as expansion pack now. With how fast they are shitting these out it's very obvious that they chopped the base game into chunks to sell as DLC/expansions, as if selling the same game thrice wasn't enough.
Took a look at their website and apparently they're actually hiring game programmer for their next project. Can't remember the last time they did that.
>>8778608 >not true anymore, some broke the seal on it since it stopped getting updates. it's all locked behind KK discord who decided it was theirs now, enimaroah himself is helping spearhead it. I'm not joining a gay discord out of curiosity, but what kind of mods? Quality of life from Koikatsu, assets?
weren't the developers working on an English version of SVS for Steam? What the fuck happened to that? If I'm going to play a gimped Koikatsu with a fraction of the content, the least they could do is give me a version without the broken, machine-translated Engrish
>>8790959 Why do they keep doing this? It's a bizzare model to follow considering how many studios out there specifically succeed off having one flagship game that's semi-live service
>>8814366 huh, but isn't this other chan just 4chan but with way less peoples on it? why would they use this if they don't like 4chan in the first place?
>>8732924 The constant remakes, while not inherently bad, is lazy. Releasing a slightly different game that's really too similar to a recent one over and over is a problem.
What's in this one that differentiates it from Honey Select, or Koikatsu, or whatever other game has been copied into yet another game that they made? Is there something notably different about how the models work? Does it come with better animations? More animations?
Illusion is competing with its own game history, and if they can't one-up themselves or offer something actually different, there's not enough incentive for people to buy.
>>8828107 For some unknown legal reason they rebranded as a new company while denying any connection to old Illusion, it makes at least some sense to remake their old roster of games, though I could swear they had already released a Koikatsu clone before. The new games look significantly better and have better animations, the reason they'll never be able to outdo the previous generation is because now they're actively fighting against modding, which was the whole reason these games got popular in the first place.
>>8828116 They need to either make new kinds of games, or start adding meaningful new features to games. Modding their old stuff, while doable, is complicated. GOOD stuff baked into the base game that the modders either have trouble doing well, or haven't been doing, would be a draw.
Also holy fuck, why do their games all have to have such intense draw from your system resources? Can we not optimize the amount of processing necessary down any more?
>>8828118 >why do their games all have to have such intense draw from your system resources? Can we not optimize the amount of processing necessary down any more? Need a fact check on this, but apparently it's because of Illusion's own business practices.
>>8828118 >>8830895 What's the Illusion game that runs most effectively on the lowest specs, anyway? Surely, one of these things is outdated enough, or slightly better-optimized enough, that it actually doesn't suck to run on most machines at this point.
>>8832933 Unless your system is something from 20 years ago, anything Illusion made before AI * Shoujo should run relatively fine. Of course it's just the base games, when you start throwing in mods things will be different. >>8833933 Custom Maid 3D2 and like, 50+ DLCs it had, that thing itself is another black hole no one should touch this day and age.
>>8736920 >>8736936 any updates on this? i'm also hoping for the untouched files from dlsite or an iso which i know is never coming. i have the original zip of the new DLC but can't find clean and untouched anything else. also are the pre-order stuff untouched anywhere?
>>8834684 It's true. Mods eat so much processing. Of course, we all rely on mods to make specific characters look right, though I would argue that a lot of these aren't ideal. A lot of Koikatsu cards, with the correct mods installed, are still pretty funky. Oddly-sized to force accurate proportions, things clipping weirdly, using a shit ton of accessories to force things to work and causing the game to do some weird things, etc. And of course, there's extra content that doesn't work quite right, like added poses where hands just clips through things.
This leads me to an another question for peoples' thoughts: Which Illusion game with character creation is the best one, unmodded?
I'm genuinely surprised that this thread was bumped this time. And honestly, they Illusion really fucked up by releasing koikatsu clone instead of making dlc for svg
So what's the big AiComi feature compared to Summer whatever and Koikatsu? Is it just a worse Koikatsu remake? Can you finally have harems and multisomes?
>>8849960 >Is it just a worse Koikatsu remake? Yes. The only thing it has over Samabake is that the graphics look slightly better, there's some comparisons on their website somewhere
The game got an expansion. 5 new character types, 2 new maps to roam around in. Not a peep about it here. I thought that it would have generated some interest, but well after a month, nothing. I didn't think the game was that bad.
>>8852726 >I didn't think the game was that bad. It's koikatsu, no one liked that garbage except discord circlejerkers in the first place, and they already have koikatsu
>>8856972 It's artificial academy, but with only 6 locations Fun, but would be better if they released it after having way more default outfits from previous games and shit
>>8733980 whoever were making the aa2 thread gave up when 4chan went kill for a while last year. since the chan returned I've not seen a single thread about it anywhere
>be me >started creating characters in 2022 >lurked /kkg/ >wasn't confident enough to post one of my characters >ended pretty decently >/kkg/ is kill by this and now have to move to the trannycord channel >mfw
>>8733980 I hear it was getting wrecked pretty hard by some annoying faggot, so they just opted to move on to the discord channel.
