It's a good game, certainly worth it,but the yuri it's pretty minor. And to get post-game ending, you need to forge a relationship with a male character, not necessarily romantic, that's up to you, but it's pretty annoying

I doubt anyone on this planet besides me still gives a fuck about custom maid, but I've finally found out how to mod the game to replace the MC for a woman, and even a way of possibly adding the yuri motions from one game to the other. Though this female MC is not very customizable, you would have to pick from a limited number of head and bodies (and the hair is not rigged at all), you couldn't use a maid you created. But the MasterSlave plugin already does that for sex scenes. It's mostly just so people won't get jumpscared by male genitals or bodies. The genital is completely replaced by a strap on, it even applies to NPCs, I think their bodies get replaced too, though I never tested it. It also works for the story mode, but that shit is a can of worms that I would never dare to touch, just avoid it. I made a translucid strap on, so you can make it more transparent during the sex scenes.
If anyone wants, I can upload the files when (if) I finish it, or teach you how to do it, it's super easy. I felt like an idiot when I finally realized how it's done. My biggest issue is making the female master body move properly and not look all wonky, but doubt anyone even uses that. I'm modding both CM3D2 and COM3D2, COM seems more promising with importing animations from the other game. Pic is the body and head options I made for the master, I'll also make it possible to completely hide her.
And reminder that's also possible to just import all animations on blender without needing to download the game at all.

>>4540589
From me perspective that is just a whole lot of work with extremely slim pay-off. Why not just play an actual yuri compatible game out the gate?

>an actual yuri compatible game out the gate
For example? The only one I know is koikatsu, but I've never played it and don't know how yuri it is, or what positions it has. To me the biggest appeal of CM3D2 is how moddable and cheatable it is. I've finally somewhat learned how to mod it and I don't want to have to learn from scratch with KK. Also it seems harder to import KK assets and motions to blender.

>>4540694
For the masters, not adjustable at all. I have no idea how to do it, sorry. The masterslave plugin can make the replacement maid bigger or smaller though, to absurd degrees.

>>4540731
Theoretically, could you adjust the size in blender first and then use the edited master model ingame? This will obviously mess with camera angles and animations.

>>4540731
>on Koikatsu
Girls with the 'likes girls' tag (can be everyone if you edit them all in the chara maker) can be caught having sex with each other in the overworld. As for the positions, I assume you mean lesbian sex positions. It has three: scissoring, awkward cunnilingus and awkward mutual fingering.

Note that nobody plays Koikatsu for the game itself, the Studio is the main attraction.

You're doing God's work, anon. CM3D2 is more flexible in single player than Koikatsu, by far. Having a female master would be a godsend.

Yuri?

I tried, but it got super fucked after being exported. In the result, usually only the mesh is resized, it doesn't work for the armature and they become unaligned. The mesh can be drastically edited, but the armature only shrinks a little, it doesn't go any further. Custom maid models have some weird bone data property thing that seems to persist even if you apply all transforms. Those numbers don't change at all when I resize anything, and changing them manually doesn't shiow any visual changes on blender. When I tried deleting them from the hairs, they usually came back. As I was typing this, I found an exporting option that made the armature become properly resized when imported back on blender, but I'm not sure if it will work in the game itself. It will mess the animations for sure, with the characters floating or clipping through the floor.

>>4540744
Thank you. And yes, I meant the yuri poses. Are we able to select these poses in the studio? And can people make their custom animations?

>>4540751
How much of a fanbase does BR have left and how many of them are even willing to come back after Sun?

>>4540769
Depends on how many people even knew of sun's existence

>>4540767
>Are we able to select these poses in the studio?
Yes

>And can people make their custom animations?
In a way, yes.
There's a plugin that lets you do animations using keyframes, which combined with the FK/IK capabilities the studio has in theory can let you do anything.

>>4540767
Thanks for trying. Knowing nothing about the game, can you manually set the poses of the maid and the master or do you only have fixed animations/poses?

>>4540780
NTA, but I have played CM3D2 in my time. You're limited to fixed animations and poses.

>>4540782
Shame, this could have been a major help. Thanks for the info.

>>4540780
There's a studio mode where you can pose your characters however you want, including the master, though these are static poses, you can't make your custom animations in-game. Though you can manually pick a few of the sex animations (not all of them) and give one animation of each sexual act for every character, mixing them up. For example, you can give the dildo riding animation to one maid, then place her on the face of the master or another maid, so it will look like she's riding her face instead. In this mode you can move and rotate the character's whole body in any way even when they are animated, though it can only affect the whole body, not individual parts.
It's also possible to import animations to the studio in COM3D2 via mods, but so far I didn't have luck and they won't loop. But I think it's possible to make your custom animations on blender, then export them.

>>4540787
So in absolute theory you can create your personalised master and maid in blender, load them ingame, go to studio mode and pose them for custom scenarios? Disregarding every animation issue along the way this is pretty useful.

>>4540807
In theory, yes. But why go that far? The CM3D2 chara maker is good.

>>4540820
As references.

>>4540807
You can, but it's better to just use 2 maids for that, you can add several of them in the studio. Their models come with built in customization, like breast size and some height change in-game. There's a mod to make them loli-size, so maybe there's also one to make them huge, I'm not sure if you want to make them bigger or smaller.
One of the issues with making a custom master is that they don't have facial expressions and I don't know if it's possible to make the master's clothes and hair be rigged and move according to physics. The only disadvantage of using 2 maids is that neither can do the master's sex poses, but if you don't want to use them, it's not an issue. Though if you just want to pose, it might be better to just do it directly on blender.

>>4540827
>I don't know if it's possible to make the master's clothes and hair be rigged and move according to physics
Is CM3D2/COM3D2 based on Unity? If so, it should be possible to rig bones to stuff.

>>4540771
Anyone who was into BR knew about Sun, and if you were REALLY into it you also read the interviews Mel did surrounding it where he gushes about how he wanted the series to have a cool relatable male MC from the start and shows little to no understanding of why it didn't land.

>>4540830
>shows little to no understanding of why it didn't land.
I didn't read those interviews but it was really fun having you all regale to the board about it
>Anyone who was into BR knew about Sun
It's possible that they didn't. Probably didn't even know the anime existed either

>>4540827
>directly using blender
I've seen it, tried it and got defeated by it's overwhelming nature. Until an easy to understand tutorial randomly spawns by the divine might of the algorithm it's back to find ways to circumvent this.
Also it's missing the background assets and how it's rearranged. And the proper light settings.

>>4540829
It is, but even when I joined the hair armature to the head bone, it completely disappeared after I exported. Though maybe it will work if I choose the other option during exporting, it worked and fixed the resizing problem. But I'm not sure what physics the game will use for the hair, if it will use any at all, even though I just used maid's hairs.

>>4540832
Just because you are an ignoramus with zero perception doesn't mean the rest of the world are. It's way more likely that a bit chunk of players only got into it because of the anime.
What is your retarded point you fucking imbecile? You just keep waffling on about how there could be people who didn't know about the gacha as if that means anything. There will alwaye be a minority who are out of the loop on any series. This doesn't mean shit.

>>4540835
I won't fault anyone for not wanting to use Blender but there's plenty of alternatives for posing and animating (like MMD) and as far as games go Koikatsu's studio is miles ahead of CM's, like another anon said Custom Order Maid's strength is the single player game part

>>4540964
I have no idea why you're acting like I'm outright disagreeing with you or even fighting with you. Not every person reads about game development nor do many people know of the gacha with a short life span and never left Japan besides us because we are die hard enjoyers of the genre. So kindly get off your high horse

>>4540973
This series isn't popular outside of Japan and its core fanbase knows about the goddamn gacha. My question is what your retarded point is. Becuase right now it looks like you just interjected with zero actual reason to say something pointless, because you are some kind of overcompensating know-it-all stickler.

Like the retarded post that started this was somehow questioning how many people knew about the advertised main sequel to the fucking series to counter someone saying the fucking fanbase is rejecting the devs for their transgressions. This is all nonsense.

Samebake Scramble is generally one of the best of these sandbox relationship/character creation/sex pose games right now. It's one of the newest and got a lot of QoL that older ones don't. Looks good too. It has a lot of modding already, though not on the level of the older games. You can definitely get lesbian mod packs though to improve the /u/.

Speaking of the older games, there is Artificial Academy 2

Possible sure but it's a pretty small franchise.

>>4540975
Where would you find those lesbian mods/cards? Might be worth adding to the mod paste. AA2 already has lesbian content by default as far as I remember, but there were so many mods for more positions and interactions. Even locations. But the thread for that on other boards died ages ago.

Reunion comes out next week. I don't know whether this feeling in my stomach is anticipation or dread.

>>4541134
Good day, sir!

I'm very close to finishing the game I'm currently playing and I think I'm facing choice paralysis on what to play next.

>>4541199
You do what I do and just go replay old games you've already played a hundred times and are comfortable with.

>>4540731
>For example?
I don't know if this counts because it's been in development limbo for a while, but Custom Romance City is set to have a female protagonist option. The site still gets (very... and I mean very) occasional updates. https://crc3d3.jp/

>>4541062
NTA, but there is a resource page on the F95 thread for AA2 that has a lot of this, though I can't claim with certainty that it is complete. I dug it out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS8Ap6CrmSNXRsKG9jsIMqHYuHM3Cfs5qE5nX6iIgfzLlcWnmiwzmOrp27ytEMX03lFNRR7U5UXJalA/pub

>>4541176
I've got an AA2 save that is currently stamped at almost 160 hours in. Meanwhile, my longest SVS save is a whopping 9 hours. I couldn't stick with SVS as long as AA2 because AA2, in my experience, has much more in the way of mechanical nuance and (for lack of better descriptor) "sim" gameplay. SVS felt like its pornographic aspect was more refined, but in exchange for this there wasn't much, well, "game." That probably doesn't sound very meaningful given the eroge-nature of both titles, but I'm afraid I don't know how else to articulate it right now.
To be clear, I am not saying to avoid SVS. It has its good points. I would just advise that you temper your expectations going into it.

>>4541202
Want to do that to.
But I feel like the time between wageslaving should be spent on "new" games.

>>4541252
I usually just add all my yuri games that I haven't played into a list and sort it by howlongtobeat playtime and pick my next game based on how busy I am at the time. Works well for me because I also get choice paralysis but if my life is getting in the way of a 40 hour game then it is much easier to pick something that only takes 5 or 10.

>>4541176
I don't get a lot out of just randomly mashing models together. If I wanted porn I'd just read a Mira doujin. So the sim aspect of these games is what's actually interesting to me. AA2 wasn't really thaaaat deep, but it did have a lot of options for modders to sink their teeth into.
Samebake has also gotten better over time. That personality DLC is still a major rip-off though.

>>4541240
>I dug it out
Thanks a bunch anon. It's nice to see some people being so helpful around these threads.

>>4540347
Added a AA2 and Samabake section to the paste. I don't know if they should be listed separately, but there aren't that many individual mods I'd recommend anyway, just mod lists you can pick and choose from yourself. Also the paste doesn't usually add download links for pirated versions unless there is no official release to buy, right? Samabake is pretty overpriced so I think pirating it is justified until it goes on super deep sale.

>>4540346
>Cradle Of Nightmare released (Fear & Hunger clone with yuri)
Are any of the translations decipherable by now?

>>4541112
Considering they already have shown choices from Double Exposure having some sort of impact in Reunion, I'd say yes.

>>4541355
That anon asked whether playing the games before Double Exposure matters. Aka LiS1 and so on. Unless they mean True Colors, which is really not relevant.

The mods run via Reloaded II, a modloader, so basically you just need to hook whatever exe of P5R you have to it. I've never tried that myself, but Reloaded II generally works with pirated games too.

afaik the official Steam patch only comes out later this year, there's a complete fan translation on itchio which is playable but inferior though.

Woah, seems the English version of Vampdoll is actually coming out in 3 days! They finally escaped Steam approval hell.

I started playing Tainted Grail. It's like Skyrim, except edgy. This also means you are usually in first person so you never see your protagonist, unless you switch to 3rd person mode which the game does not recommend. I always find that kind of unsatisfying for romances in games. I prefer to see both partners rather than having to maximum self-insert. Considering how long this freaking tutorial dungeon was I expect it will take many hours for me to reach those romance options.

I did not expect King Arthut to be stuck in protag's head... what is it with these modern open world games shoving some guy into your brain to backseat you? At least it seems you don't interact with him outside of bonfires and major story moments. And I don't think he can take over your body like good ol' Johnny in Cyberpunk. So that's a relief.

Thoughts on Dragon Age Origins? It’s the only DA I haven’t played

>>4541919
Worse than DA2, better than every other DA. Unluckily you are stuck with 1 romance option. Luckily, it's Leliana and not Morrigan. Also I vaguely remember there was a romance mode that adds alot of content for her, might be even gay only...
Also imho 4 girls party is the optimal way to play it. 3 Mages (MC included) + Leliana as chest monkey + bear summoner.

>>4541928
....you think DA2 is the best in the series?
Either Sarcastic Default FemHawke is your favorite fictional protagonist of all time or you're off your meds.

There'll be a trailer on April 9th for the new game by the developers of 1000xResist. Will hopefully be yuri.

>>4541931
I didn't like time-draining game design of Inquisition one bit. Unholy child of Ubisoft and MMORPGs. What DA2 did best was companions, they really feel like a group of friends. Also character control is much more fluid than in any other part. Gameplay isn't as tactical as in DAO, but feels pleasant. Chill game. But if reused locations and trollface option in every character dialogue is such a big flaw to you, then sure I guess, you do you...

>>4541935
>Also character control is much more fluid than in any other part
Nah, Inquisition has much better character feel and gameplay in general. DA2 tried to be an action game, but didn't have the sauce. You can cry about Inquisition's "open world" (actually just several big maps), but the freedom of movement and the way you can chain abilities is actually fun to play, unlike DA2. It also does companions really well.
Outside of the more personal and focused story there is nothing in DA2 that is better than DA:I. But Hawke being an actual character really does elevate it a lot.
DA:O is just popular because it's oldfags CRPG darling. It honestly feels clunky to play, companions are more on the boring side and while choice reactivity is probably the best out of all the games, it honestly is nowhere near Bioware's bests. The Warden is a blank piece of carboard, which really makes romances insufferably impersonal too.

>>4541933
I just finished that recently. Wildly memorable game, never played anything quite like it. Definitely interested if their next game turns out to also have /u/.

>>4541919
Still the best in the series in almost all aspects, several playable prologues, meaningful permutations. Not a big of the writing, because you know, Bioware writing, you know exactly what you going to get. As for the romances, it's pretty much what you would expect from Bioware at the time, they made several strides in the follow ups, broadening options, but again, it's Bioware, not exactly the best or decent might i add, with very few exceptions, and even tho pretty mediocre, Bioware has that hollywood slop all over their wrinting, from characters to broader worl strokes

>>4541968
I actually did try playing DAO when it was relatively new and just found myself not interested after a while. The melee combat as a warrior was also especially awkward
But it's been what, 15 years(?) and therse days I'm much more into the story side of things so i'm probably just gonna get it.
The only question left is...do I also get DA2 since I only played the pirated base game and not any of the DLCs

Most definitely. And she is also probably the one that can't be romanced by the Fem!MC. It wouldn't be surprising if she is a backstabby-happy corporate drone. J looks to me like a bounty hunter ME3 Jack with a heavy background in criminal activity. And Polly gives off a mechanical Tali nerd vibe. She has probably something related with building or repairing a spaceship.

I actually wonder how many will be romancable at all. For all we know, there's only one chick and dude romanceable by virtue of the game being a way higher workload than their CRPG titles.

Just learned Affection (the three sisters master-servant visual novel) was taken down because some people were leaving negative (English) comments. Does anyone have a copy of the files?

>>4542121
None of this makes sense. DA2 came out after DA:O. Also Bethesda does blank slates in their RPGs all the time, so free character creation is the only thing you get. Hawke was a real protagonist unlike those.

>>4542122
Literally none of the female LIs in Owlcat games unavailable to femC have ever been "best" let alone good, retard.

>>4542123
Oh shut the fuck up. Anti-wokeism a la /v/ dont belong here and has only hurt /u/ content troglodyte. Why can you crossboarders never stay in your lane?

You are the fucking moron who started this.

>>4542183
What are you even talking about? What negative comments? This thing was ao niche barely anybody knew about it. Did some random homophobes just raid the comments section of a random itch game? What do you base the reasoning of it being taken down on?

>>4542183
Huh, it is down. Dev doesn't say anything on their xitter either

Oh yippee, only itch page is down, you can still get the game from author's booth: https://mismi-s.booth.pm/items/2089300

>>4542176
Considering Owlcat spent more than a decade huffing Larian’s exhaust pipe fume, I can’t imagine them dialing down the romance in a post BG3 world.
But the concern over this game’s scope is totally valid. How would a company that does nothing but top down crpg made of jpegs transition to a fully immersive 3D action game and successfully nail it on the first go?

>>4542328
More concerning than the new territory is that they are making like 3 games at the same time with such a small studio.

>>4542334
The smelly smell of AI assets...

>>4542328
You do know that all their previous games are fully 3D, right?

Finally got around to beating The Walking Dead. Season 4 is lovely, and reminds me that yuri in non-yuri games is the greatest thing ever.

Even though Violet isn't especially cute, her and Clem are pretty damned cute together.

>>4542398
The Michonne spin-off also has side yuri although it is left uncertain if they get together.

>>4542328
How big is their warchest? Because the guys who made wukong also afaik had nothing but gacha games under their belt before that.
>>4542334
>>4542357
That or just outsourcing... Not like there wouldn't be issues if they suck at integrating, but it's not impossible.
But wtf, 3 games? Did Bioware ever worked on multiple games at the same time or was it one at a time?

>>4542168
Nah, you don't need the additional information of the male counterparts to freely speculate about the women ingame. You just run wild with your fantasies and see what sticks. This can be applied to all games.

>>4542412
>Did Bioware ever worked on multiple games
BioWare released DA:O, DA2, ME2, and ME3 in a span of less than 2.5 years. At some point they probably worked on all 4 concurrently.

>>4542432
Logical. Concept artists usually don't have anything to do when the model creation starts. And model creators normally have to rest when the voice actors get on the set. A huge company is supposed to have so many moving parts and down times for any cog in the ever-so-shaky machinery is not productive.

Ended up just buying Origin and DA2, played DA2 a million years ago through alternative means I guess it's natural I pay it back now

>>4542412
I remember read somewhere about Owlcat has massively increased their headcount.
>>4542416
Polly seems like a wild card. I can see quite a few possibilities.
>>4542432
DA2's limited development time was pretty infamous for its time though and the game suffered for it.

>>4542122
Regina and Aleesha for femMC pls.

>I can see
Do it. Share. A wild AI-Robot / Android loving near-to-death-because-of-fortunate-events excellent pilot? Where is your mind?

>>4542443
Well let's first be objective here

Ginger = Soulless. Possibly alien encountered early into the game
Rocket emblem and utility watch = Mechanic/Scientist perhaps
Hair buns into braids + Puffy pants = Zero sense of style, almost deliberate and spiteful, yet not completely full schizo. Clearly no female sibling. Brothers perhaps.

I'm thinking a soulless alien shapeshifter who has taken on a human appearance. Prioritizing survival, it mixes and matches a number of clashing styles and qualities without understanding how they all come together.

>>4542452
>Ginger = Soulless
>soulless alien shapeshifter

But yeah, the marketing team clearly had one protag on their mind. Maybe they are going to show off the Fem!MC VA in the next one. And this game looks almost like a copy-paste ME project.

Too bad you need to get through 3.5 seasons worth of content to get there. I suppose the build up makes you more attached to Clementine though. I guess we can call this a slowburn.

>>4542186
Yeah I have no idea what that idiot is going on about either. I guess he wants to feel "special" and "quirky" for liking the boring tropey serial killer bitch?
Even in Kingmaker the secret route that unlocks the true path and real ending with the whole extra chapter happens by romancing the villainess, which is the objectively best girl.

Oh wait, I get it now. He is salty that you cant date the Sororitas bitch in Rogue Trader. Conveniently ignoring that she isnt romancable by male MC either. Even though the Shadow Assassin from the Void Shadows DLC is objectively the best romance option anyway.

Not the anon you are talking about, but everyone should be salty about this. Yes, it makes sense in lore. Yes, I will continue to sulk. But quietly.

>>4542567
It's fine to be disappointed about that. But it doesnt really work for that anon's narrative.

>>4542460
Is that chick near the end just a hooker the MC bangs? Doesn't look like any of the concept art.

>>4542490
>The companion "J" is your twin and will always match your gender.
Oooh, so that's why J's concept design is a bit more androgynous. Probably to internally reflect that the character can either be male or female (and probably a different ethnicity, too). Neat.

>>4542504
I read that as J having the same gender as MC.

Life is Strange released today. I havent looked at the reviews yet, because I dont want to know the horrors directly....

>>4542567
>Yes, it makes sense in lore
No it doesn't.
One of the Ciaphas Cain novels explains that the Sororitas don't have chastity vows but they simply choose not to pursuit relationships while depicting a retired sister having an affair with a dude.
Rogue Trader could make its resident sister another example but they were lazy retards.

Wow. The only way to sell the male MC is to shove him into a bundle. Also the effort to make a Ray based game is wasted now.

No one here gives a shit about a game with a gacha harem shoved in it

>>4542651
>retired Sororitas in Ciaphas Cain
For one, they are the vast minority. Also, that one was most likely not a Sister of Battle. Argenta is, and Sisters of Battle are far more likely to be the "mind, body and soul in service" type than the rest of the Sororitas.

>>4542670
>that one was most likely not a Sister of Battle
She was a veteran Celestian of one of the militant orders; due to the events of the story she even undusts her power armor and chainsword and participates on the final battle, with Cain noticing how her chainsword has the extreme worn out of a weapon that has seen a lot of battles.

>>4542677

Hope it will be good.

>>4542702
I saw it on twitter the other day and meant to post about it here but completely forgot.
But yeah, it does look neat. Art and character design looks really Chigusa Minori inspired.

>>4542703
The reviews on the JP version were good (though there werent a lot of them). I really liked the demo, so fingers crossed!

>>4542699
>How so?
...because there is no yuri in it? I don't know how I can be any more clear about it than that.

>>4542705
nta but I fucking bought the JP version.
Why the fuck are there two versions in the first place?

>>4542702
They ARE holding hands on the cover, so that is a pretty good start.

>>4542707
I have no earthly idea, but it was known for over a year that they are split. It was talked about pretty much everywhere this VN got brought up anon.

>>4542702
This artstyle really reminds me of something... Fatal Twelve?

>>4542709
Yeah, I was aware, but the fact the JP version's page was fully translated and looked nearly identical is at fault I'd say.
(and of course I just checked and now the title is in Japanese so people will think I'm wrong or insane)

>>4542690
The only romance option in the game is Chloe Whether that's a good or bad thing is of course subjective, but at least it's yuri.

>>4542712
That is some goofy shit, not gonna lie. At least you can refund it anon. No money lost.

>>4542715
I'll see what I can do, but I think the refund window is gone, I actually bought it just as it was added to Steam, wasn't today.
Think there's a 2 week window or something.

>>4542718
Uh... whoops? But we did mention that the EN version was in steam approval limbo several times in the last threads, so I think this was entirely preventable.

>>4542720
I don't really browse these threads all that often, I just happened to be here today because I wanted to see if you guys had any extra info about the Blue Reflection thing and the whole Sun debacle.

>>4542722
The extra info is to not give money to Mel kishida's retarded self-insert male scheme. You are welcome.

>>4542663
OH WOW. They learned absolutely nothing. What a fucking insult. They could have made a trio while letting Sun rot but Kishida Mel really wants to push his self insert. Fuck this.Shame because a game version of Ray could've been great without Sun and the faggot male polluting the franchise beyond all recovery. Fuck this bait

>>4542651
>>4542670
>>4542677
It depends from covenant to covenant. Some tale vows of celibacy, some don't.

>>4542726
The one silver lining is that they're removing the character events. Main story only so no scenes of the girls going "kyaa! ecchi!" at the self-insert.

>>4542741
This means nothing and will not change anything about the fact that nobody here should or will buy it. The franchise is dead and it was a self-inflicted suicide.

>>4542748
Thanks! Fancier description I see. And looking at the dev it does seem like steam auto-filters it for me.
Dunno why they made them separate versions, but I noticed the JP version allows you to buy the soundtrack as DLC but not the global version. Which also looks like it can be separately bought anyway. Same price as well.
So odd. Try steam support and see if they'll let you refund imo.

>>4542755
Yeah, I'll try it when I get back home.
I've always had a good experience with them, remember getting a refund for the first Mary Skelter when they announced Finale (iirc) and that it was gonna come with the first game included.
I had more than 2 hours played at the time.

>>4542757
>willingly playing a het game

They should have refused your refund.

>>4542757
2, not Finale. Finale only had the dialogue scenes from the first two games.

>>4542762
Yeah, that.

We had enough idiots fall on their face hyping up games as yuri just because there are two females on screen together before (Ex Voto being a dishonorable recent example). It's more reasonable to be cautious.
Then again, we got one moron here who intentionally shills ManoSaba despite knowing it has no yuri, simply because he knows it will annoy people. Even though we got Shuten Order which is an actual yuri game with the same themes and quality as both of these games.

>>4542825
No. Not yuri. I personally don't like it so it's definitely not going to be yuri.

>>4542829
>We had enough idiots fall on their face
Yes, and there will be many more in the future. We all faceplanted at some point. You probably did too. Doesn't it seem like a fun gamble on reality? Isn't it fun to still have fantasies and dreams?

>>4542831
Why are you creating a false dichotomy where pretending things are yuri without confirmation is the only way to have fantasiea and dreams? I can get plenty hyped about the dozens of upcoming confirmed yuri games, thanks.

>>4542830
They don't look the least bit gay to you? My gaydar is tingling with that kind of pairing set-up. Long blonde and short brown hair. It has been like the yuri staple for the last few year. If they don't hold-hands at one point I'd completely bamboozled.

>>4542833
You are replying to a troll who is trying to very badly ape me by pretending I just dismiss games because I don't like them instead of because of them not having yuri. Please gain some basic awareness...

>>4542832
Okai fair, that might be a misunderstanding. That was not my intention. Definitely go ahead and have so many fantasies, dreams and hopefully arts and crafts-y passionate-related things concerning the 100% confirmed yuri games. I only wish to increase the excitement to possibilities.

>>4542834
Really? I took this more as a joke. A jib. Sarcasm, as you will.

>>4542835
I'm just cautioning against people who immediately go "this is the best yuri game ever made for sure, I will buy 10 copies of it!" before even having a single confirmation it has yuri in it.

At least you are better than the idiotic "subtext"fags who will literally lie about yuri subtext being in already released games just to shill them.

>>4542837
Don't we all yearn for more yuri? Confirmed or not?

>>4542806
>censor it
BR2 was already censored. They arent changing anything.

But there was a glimpse of a better timeline here. There could have been the slightest redemption. If the male protag had been replaced by a female protag this would have actually made this Quartet thing have some real value
>make a Ray game (the anime was pretty gay)
>which leads into BR2 which now has even more heroines from the gacha for Ao to rizz up
>which concludes with the now yurified gacha
I would have almost been able to forgive Mel Kishida for existing anywhere near this franchise, but I guess even that was pipe dream.

>>4542848

We absolutely and definitely need more of that.

>>4540749
Asking like that makes you look like a mentally stunted retard, but at least you shared something promising. I looked into it, but the dev is being very secretive about almost everything in this game. I guess it is a detective story, so you want to avoid spoiling too much.
An all female cast with such dynamics is pretty good grounds for some spicy yuri though. Kinda like that London yuri detective game that came out recently, except hopefully not as mediocre.

>>4542852
But you do agree we need more Lovecraftian themed yuri, don't you? I don't know anything about the Twilight Syndrome game series but all there is on first glance are girls uncovering mysteries together. I doubt it contains explicit scenes between the girls or actual love declarations but I also can't read moon-moon and some of the scenes look pretty cute. However, imagine a proper graphic renewal with a decent translation where one girl always exclusively clings closer to one girl holding the flashlight than the other one in the group? Maybe even some jealousy messing about? I can see the appeal.

>>4542855
I watched several video essays on the games that went through the whole story and no, these games have no yuri.

>>4542856
Shame, maybe in the next or similar one.

>>4542852
I don't they are het either.

Does urban dissolution center has any yuri?
Because that game looks so fucking good if we are talking about the whole 'chicks exploring supernatural shit' theme.

Got through the Vampdoll prologue. It's pretty high quality. It has these fancy character profiles and all.

Don't like the mouth movements though, one thing if it's synced, but the spam is weird.
Also no instant text, even at max speed, sometimes it comes out sentence by sentence. Minor annoyance

>>4542912
You "don't that", huh? If I can decipher this brain fart correctly, you are trying to insinuate that the Twilight Syndrome games aren't het? Too bad, the girls in it are the bog standard every girls, which means they talk about wanting boyfriends etc. There is a whole side-plot in one of the games about one of the girls trying to get with her male crush and spooky stuff gets in the way.

Even if the series was entirely devoid of het romance or implications, that would not make it on topic. I'm tired of having to remind you crossboarders that this is the yuri board...

>>4542914
I remember playing like 1 demo episode, It had none, not even hooks or subtext. Though the full game has 6 episodes so who knows. There us surprising ammount of yuri art of Jasmine and MC

>>4542914
This was discussed before and apparently it does not. I think one anon claimed there was a super irrelevant side-quest that has the tiniest sliver of yuri subtext, but the game has none.
And it's not even a very good game in general.

>>4542915
Yeah I played the demo and the translation is really solid.
>mouth movements
Lip flaps are rarely any good in VNs. Once you pay attention to them it only gets worse. Better to keep it out of your mind.

>Girls investigating Lovecraftslop?
Just roll World Of Horror with any female character and get Kana as the sidekick.

>>4542914
It's not yuri but you will ship the main characters by the end. If you're into Otherside Picnic I recommend it since it even has some of the same urban myths like the other world and the kotoribako.

>>4542920
>the translation is really solid.
I mean solid. But I wouldn't say really solid. Typos aside, there are some parts that just read awkwardly.
For the most part they read fine. But it could definitely be better.
Also I don't know if it's a typo or not, but I think the team/group is supposed to be Carnage not Carnag right? So either the store description is wrong, or the in game description is.
>Once you pay attention to them it only gets worse. Better to keep it out of your mind.
Fortunately for the most part I read VNs like I read books, I mainly focus on the text, otherwise it'll definitely drive me crazy.

>>4542967
I guess my standards lowered considerably after all the horrible chinese game translations I endured over the last two years. Fan translations really always were the best.

>>4542921
>Just roll World Of Horror with any female character
Moriko is explicitly a lesbian playable character too.

>>4542972
Yeah.
Also I'm going through ep1 and they have the typical she = he nonsense.
And that part in the onsen where I can't tell they fucked up the negation or what.
But it's mostly fine imo, which is what makes the errors all the more jarring.

That aside, it does have a lot of nice features in it. it has a lot of nice things not directly related to being a vn, like being able to lock saves, or saving your favorite voicelines.
Wish they have vsync or fps lock though, my gpu runs hot.

As for the story, I'm hooked so far. It's seeming to be meatier than I expected. We'll see if it holds.

>>4542980
There are like 8 doujins released by the artist beforehand, so they certainly had a lot planned out.

>>4542981
Well, I was expecting more SoL and less plot. Though what I want is plot so that's a good thing.
Also the only Vampdoll chapter translated was almost completely SoL so...

>>4542921
The last time I played that, I ran as Detective Lieutenant Columbo. Love how modable the game is

>>4542988
Ugh at least tell me you played a female "Columbo".

This one?

You wont believe this, but after the pretty mid to negative reception of the plot and execution... the dev of this game completely rewrote the entire thing. Added more perspectives, changed plot points and character interactions, elaborated on backstories, added clues and bad endings.
It went from having Mixed reviews to Very Positive reviews.

I frankly haven't seen anything of the like before, at least when it concerns a VN.

>>4542996
Went from blue to green, but nothing much changed, huh?

>>4542998
A dev listening to feedback? That's rare.

>>4543010
I just saw Square fucking Enix listen to user feedback and actually (sort of) give them what they want, even if it was just stupid pandering. Cats and dogs living together etc. etc.

>>4543011
Meanwhile Mel Kishida’s head is buried in the sand, fingers in his ears as he screams “LALALALALALA.”

tl;dr: He acknowledges people hate the male MC so this version is reducing his role and focusing more on the interactions between the girls themselves. But yeah, it's still too much of a hack job to outright remove him or add a feMC option.

>>4543088
Literally all they had to do was not include Sun. Just pretend it never happened. It’s not like it was some huge success or remotely popular, and mobile gachas already have enough of a stigma among console gamers even when they don’t completely miss the mark on what makes the IP they’re based on popular, so nobody would have questioned its absence in a console collection. The only reason to include it at all is sheer, bloodyminded devotion to the male protagonist.

>>4542921
>>4542977
>>4542988
I adore that game, i'm super happy that the dev decided to come back to it and is gonna get a new update, with a new scenario and a new character.

probably believes in lesbian correction

>>4543107
I do too. Correct the world by making all life in the universe lesbians.

>>4543088
There's a prior interview with Mel linked at the top. Between both of them he sounds delusional.
>admits he thought sun shutting down was the end of the series for good
>acknowledges people didn't like sun mc
>in the face of all this insists there's still some audience that really likes sun mc so he has to be carried forward for them
>thinks sun mc can be tweaked to work for fans of the other games by reducing his presence and interactions with the girls while also expanding on why he has to exist
Sounds like a solid plan to appeal to nobody.

Homo-Homu.

And making the MC gender select but canonically female didn't enter his mind?

>>4543115
Like I'm sure the guy got like 2 emails about him being a good thing and that was enough. But no one around him was like "boss that's wrong, the numbers show that no one likes him" he's not Kojima, a CG cannot carry this much fucking weight on the series

>>4543115
Even after Sun shut down all he seems willing to budge on is mild rewrites so I don't think replacing the MC altogether has crossed his mind a single time. He's fixated on a male MC specifically and talked about it at length in older interviews,

is this yuri or not?

So it's cheaper than usual or?
It sounds like a good idea, but it also sounds like you're being scammed.

Devs. Your spacebar. Use it.

>>4543131
It literally says it's a story about friendship anon...

>>4543177
It's a typographical spacing issue, trying to fix it manually with the spacebar would just make it worse.

>>4543111
>why he has to exist
The sheer delusion is almost awe inspiring. There literally is not reason a male MC needs to exist in this series. He has been caliming otherwise for the entire time and has never once explained this supposed reason.
He also failed to mention why every girl need get into ecchi scenarios with him and several of them have to be crushing on him. I am sure that is also essential to his deep narrative relevance.

Fuck this guy.

>>4543179
It would at least be a bandaid fix. But yes, they need to increase the spacing between words. Even Open Office's Word rip-off can do that.

>We're getting more Blue Reflection when this is the guy in charge instead of more Nights of Azure
Gust what the fuck?

Finished Vampdoll. 3.8 hours according to steam, though keep in mind I basically read it like a book, i.e. skipping the VOs for the most part. I think it'll probably be 6-8 hours if you listen to everything.

VN part is fine, but the character introduction screen is a little laggy, and buggy? When you click around the various voices thing, it seems like it does nothing and the text and voices come out a little late. Though that's also the same for saving, you click, then wait a few seconds for something to actually happen.
Going back to the char screen, I also don't know if I'm doing it wrong, unlikely imo, or it's just buggy, but when you change costumes, there is no rhyme or reason, Logically you assume it'll cycle through them all, since there is only one button, but you can just click it and nothing happens, maybe it's related to the lag thing I mentioned above come to think of it.

As for the story. It hooked me in, at least I wanted to keep reading it so that's good. Chapter 2 is great. Chapter 3-4, because 4 is so short and it follows on from C3 anyway, is good. Might be a translation issue but I feel Ao's "death" scene could have been done better. Probably.

But uh... yeah, I'll like more. It's short and sweet, but I'll rather it be long and sweet. Then again it's well-paced so it's probably good it isn't dragged out.

>>4543185
Can you stop crying about Nights of Azure already? it wasn't successful, the team moved on centuries ago and there is basically no fanbase left to care.
Mel Kishida's self-insert fanfic keeps existing and burning Ryze money, because he is personally obssessed. Nobody felt that strongly about Night of Azure, ever.

>>4543189
Skipping the voice acting is basically skipping 25% of the appeal of this work desu. Did you also skip the opening movie or something?
>but I'll rather it be long and sweet
As mentioned before, the VN is just one part of the universe. They even show you the doujins, Drama CDs and LN in the extra menu. Unforutnately it's not like any of these were translated.

>>4543194
I'm just impatient. Though I do listen to some of the good ones. I just honestly don't care about most of them.
It stands well on it's own anyway.
Btw, one of my favorite if not the favorite VN is Seabed so...
>Did you also skip the opening movie or something?
Not the first time.
>Unforutnately it's not like any of these were translated.
And that's the kicker isn't it. At least one chapter of the manga is, I looked at it before purchasing the VN.
But well, I want to see more of the Ao thing. It sounds like there is some good drama there. Chapter 2 is the best part here imo, so it sounds like the Ao thing is another variation of that.

>>4543213
Oh sure, you would also skip the voicelines in anime if you could, right?
>the Ao thing
Yes, the extended media mostly focuses on Ao and Ibuki, while the VN focuses on Sana and Yukine.

>>4543185
Make sure to keep bringing up Nights of Azure every time Blue Reflection diarrhea is spewed onto this thread.

>>4543229
They have nothing to do with each other and the retard just keeps mentioning it's not continuing, which adds nothing either. You just want to troll, as usual.

How nice to have an experienced lesbian around who is openly banging her teammate/girlfriend.

>>4542814
Honestly my fav pairing in the game. I haven't really looked at the romance trophies, but my guess is that the top female love interests are Ulalaka, Hina and Kaguya herself (yes I know she is only available to maleC for obvious reasons, I hate it too).

Wasn't there an anon asking for yuri racing games? Well this ain't it, but it does have a lesbian couple in the main cast apparently:

>>4543310
do i have to play as the boring male?

>>4543191
>Nobody felt that strongly about Night of Azure, ever.
I did and I always will.
>>4543233
Them being Gust properties with a dedicated yuri fanbase is enough of a relation. And since one betrayed the core fanbase while the other didn't, it's natural one would get brought up in discussion of the other sooner or later.

>>4543223
I don't skip cutscenes, but... if they are just standing around talking and doing nothing, I wouldn't say I wouldn't.
One of the reasons I favor manga over anime, I can consume it faster. That and it's a bitch for me to torrent atm, I think I'll need a vpn for it.

>>4543317
You might have ADHD...

>>4543315
It's an ensemble cast. You basically have 5 different racing teams all with their own stories that add up to the full picture. I guess technically anime guy McProtagonistface is probably the closest to the "main" character here, but I think that's a bit reductive. You can play all 21 characters.
It's why I said it's not a yuri game. There is a lesbian couple but that's not the focus of the game. But it's nice to have. Pretty sure outside of story mode you can also just drive exclusively with the lesbians in multiplayer or arcade mode if you wanna.

I just think it's a neat game that isn't just a generic racer. It's actually trying to be story focused and varies objectives and playstyles completely by whatever is currently happening in the story. It's not just about winning a race.

>>4543293
That artist is one who's stayed true to yuri all this time.

>>4543341
And to her vampirism fetish.

>I don't know if they should be listed separately
I think it's fine to keep them listed together. They fill the same niche and one is sort of the other's spiritual successor.
>Also the paste doesn't usually add download links for pirated versions unless there is no official release to buy, right?
Hmm. Well, we got several links to rom and iso sites for a reason. I want the list to be all-inclusive, both for people who want to mod games they bought and for those who pirate games. The goal here is to increase the amount of yuri people can enjoy. Disadvantaging people who are not financially able to pay for this overpriced hobby would be against the spirit of the paste to me.
That being said we should be conservative about the usage of space so it would be counterproductive to add download links for every individual game. rentry has a 200k character limit, so we may eventually run out if we overdo it.

>>4543335
Which ones are the couple?

>>4543233
Why are you assuming everyone interested in Nights of Azure is a single poster?
That game does have fans, just not enough to keep the series alive because non-VN yuri games tend to have this problem which is why many of them end up compromising by having bisexual romance option or having it stay subtext.

>>4543366
Idiot. The guy who repeatedly said the same thing in the same convo was the same poster. It's called basic reading comprehension. I didn't say there was just a single Night of Azure fan.
>by having it stay subtext
This is literal nonsense, because it doesn't increase your fanbase whatsoever. A game that is clearly for yurifags with heavy subtext repels hetshitters the same way a full yuri game would, with the downside of the yurifags being annoyed or even rejecitng the bait.
Night of Azure was just a small budget title that was not invested into much and only got a niche underground audience. This happens to similar het works all the time. Not all games can get popular and budget games especially rarely break into the mainstream.
