さくらさくら Review

DAMNED. After playing this, I realised one thing. I WANT THE MERCHANDISE. ARRRRGGGGG.

悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散悪霊退散

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…………….

Ok, back to the topic, this is a very fun eroge to play with lots of cute systems, awesome characters and hilarious events. I haven’t heard many good things about Oni-Uta which I plan to play next. If so, I think Sakura Sakura may be the best one this month for me.

More eroge sites banning foreign IPS

MORE UPDATE:

VisualArts have this toally cool sentence when  you access their site:

PLEASE PLAY THE GAME OF YOUR COUNTRY IF YOU PRAY FOR THE WORLD PEACE!:-)」

UPDATE:

Going into erogmap now requires a confirmation

Moonstone has joined the ban crowd. That makes 3 companies.

So Minori updated their site with this:

minori official website.
This website cannot be browsed excluding Japan.

Some foreigners seem to be having an antipathy against EROGE.
Therefore, We prohibited the access from foreign countries, to defend our culture.
Sorry for you of the fan that lives in a foreign country.

Why minori blocking foreign accesses?

We are little perplexing now because we received a lot of response about this issue from foreign people.

Now we will tell you the short detail about the reason why blocking you to this website, because of we, all Japanese EROGE makers were facing at the problem, the crisis of “Freedom of speech”.

Currently, The bill that allows to limiting the content (It is censorship. Isn’t it?) to all EROGEs is being discussed in the Diet because intellectuals and politicians said “Japanese EROGE were being problem and troubled with the foreign country. Therefore we should make EROGE hidden away from foreign country, and also its content should be limited and censored”.

Okay, now we trusted the word what they said at once. So we blocked you to make stay away from the trouble.

…Do you like that?

If not, please tell your idea directly to Japanese government and politicians.
(For example, you can write the letter to the administration of Japan directly from here.)
(If you can comprehend Japanese…There is information of the politicians in Japan.)

Otherwise, you just can talk your idea about this issue at your blog or other media to inform the existance of this problem to the public. It would be very helpful for us.

If you do so, we might be able to recover the “Freedom of speech” and the barricade lying in between us would be taken away.

Please help us.

We hope this separation would be only for short moment.

Sincerely.

About the eroge “ban”

(Picture has nothing to do with the topic. I just found it funny to put this)

Just a note to all of you out there who are raging over this issue.

NOTHING IS BANNED

No one said that this is going to be EOCS’s new regulation. It’s the shop that decided to ban it.

EVEN IF they ban those words, what are the chances of like 50% of the eroge industry going out of business. Especially when EOCS is formed by eroge companies too. Who the hell would destroy themselves. I was pretty hysterical at first (shouting at Zen and Micchi XD). But after a while, it all sounded stupid.

It’s probably impossible for this rule to be passed. Even if it IS passed, that’ll just make EOCS chops lose their credibility since quite a lot of companies would have to leave the EOCS.Maybe even set up their own organization. Heck that’ll be much better.

So in the end. Let’s just sit back and watch the show. =D

Minori site blocking all foreign IPs

MOAR UPDATE

Minori gave an even more in depth explanation

—————————————-

And I found this on the bottom of the webpage

I’m not joking.

Trying to go to Minori’s main site now would lead you to these words if you’re not in japan:

minori official website.
This website cannot be browsed excluding Japan.
Sorry.

Same with trying to go to eden’s site.

I proxied in, but found no announcement of this, so they’ll probably keep this under wraps.

Sigh. Just what would happen next =/

紫電 ～円環の絆～ is going to be by 暁WORKS響SIDE

I was surfing the web one today and somehow I saw this.

YES AKATSUKI WORKS. YES. YES. YES.

I don’t care whether it’s a sister company or what not. Anything that comes out of their hands has a lot more quality than most companies.

AWESOME. JUST LOOK AT THIS.

You can bet your life that I’ll glue my eyes on this.

It’s apparently coming out in November this year if all goes well. Cross your fingers people =D.

紅殻町博物誌 体験版 Out.

Yes. You can now try out 紅殻町博物誌, the new eroge by raiL soft coming out in september. Be ready though, from what I heard it does not contain easy japanese so those who are playing best have a dictionary beside them. Not to mention it’s probably going to be full of text =D.

Trample on“Schatten!!”～かげふみのうた～ Review

Wow. I finished this in…. one day.

Oh and if you guys noticed, things are getting out of hand. This may spell the end of the eroge industry. We can only hope that it wouldn’t be that way, but I personally wouldn’t play the same themed eroge over and over again. Pure love romance can only go this far. Ideas grow old. This is restricting creativity. Seriously. Retarded.

In any case with that said. I continue with the review.

Oh btw I didn’t expect this eroge to be so awesome. Really. Awesome.

Awesome song

Some Rubbish Infomation

Company = TAIL WIND

Scenario = 雪乃府宏明 (his works weren’t that good last time, no wait they were rubbish -_-;)

Artist = 川原誠 (Swan Song artist. That should be enough reason to make you play)

Genre =  VERY HAWT FRIENDSHIP TRANSFORMING FANTASY SUPERPOWER EROGE.

What’s so special = Very nice character designs, Linear route, Very unexpected story twists, the focus on friendship. In short, everything is AWESOME.

AlterEgo is No Go

Today I announce. I have given up on AlterEgo, which is like the 6th? eroge I have ever actually given up on.

It’s long, draggy, and the battles became a huge chore. And imagine going through it 4 times.

It got to me when I spent 3 hours beating a stage, to find that all the characters I used before that stage can’t be used on the current stage. Not only is that perfect bullshit (even if the story flows) I am not spending another 3 hours trying to beat a goddamned boss. And then repeat it for every other character. At least have a difficulty setting so that I won’t screw myself over with the damned battles.

Also the system has huge and major loading problems. They need to at the very least fix the damned thing.

Therefore, I have dropped Alternogo.

And I shall proceed to Trample to schatten to nurse my wounded eroge heart.

Another fun test

So here I am testing out stuff in Vue7

So this time, I tred making a snow scene. A very large snow scene.

Success = Trees

Failure = Everything else. =_=;

Maybe I spent too much time on the trees lol….

Render time 9 hours
