The ultimate ero manga (NSFW)

3×3plus2eyes.jpgOtaroad blog reports that Lass’ latest eroge 11eyes is starting to get sold out in stores in Nipponbashi. I haven’t seen many negative comments on the story for 11eyes (unlike Tsuyokiss 2), maybe I should try it out next week or something.

3111.jpgKomatsunaya has released a Hatsune Miku typing game called Byoukan Vocaloid Typing free for download for a limited time. You’re supposed to type every letter from A to Z and the lower your score the better.

panyanisiteyanyo.jpgI was watching the incredibly funny Pangya Japan Cup finals today and they made a surprise announcement that the online fantasy golf game Pangya will be having a collaboration event with Hatsune Miku. Details for the event will be announced on the 22nd.

Million KNights Vermilion

Monday, May 5th, 2008

aresu.jpgDoujin circle NRF who made BigBangBeat and had a internal conflict and broke into pieces, has announced the doujin 2D fighter Million KNights Vermilion and a trailer is available at their site. They’ve got some really good looking character dot art going on in there.

The character designs are by Sogabe Shuji who did Senko no Ronde.

But what really surprised me was that Tokyo Kids is working on the character animations. Because Tokyo Kids is a professional animation studio that has been around for many years and has worked on anime such as AYAKASHI and Gurren Lagann (though not as the main animators for Gurren)

The game is announced for the PC and is still a doujin game at this point, but it looks as if they’re prepared to push it all the way to the arcades with all these professionals working on it.

Higurashi movie receives 10 out of 100 in review

Monday, May 5th, 2008

k1.jpgJapanese movie review site Chou eiga hihyou has given the upcoming Higurashi movie the awesome rating of 10 out of 100! The movie will be officially out on the 10th of May, it seems really hopeful now that the movie will be a huge success!

The reviewer says that the original game was attractive because it seemed like a love comedy with cute characters at first and slowly became violent and gruesome, but in a live action movie, such situations have already been done to death and it doesn’t seem to be anything special. And stuff about how you have to play the game to enjoy the movie.

Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

padchounainoka.jpgI’m pretty late on this, but ZUN had updated on his blog announcing that they will be selling the trial version of Touhou Chireiden, the next instalment in the Touhou series, at the coming Reitaisai on the 25th of May. The trial version will also be a downloadable from their website some time after the event.

It looks like you can select between different youkai partners this time, and the graze system is back again.

deroyooooo.jpgThe Frontier Works website has announced that they will be expanding Umineko no naku koro ni onto other media starting this summer. I hope they aren’t going to announce an anime, it still feels too early in the story to have an anime already.

nomoremaids.jpgAkibablog reports that KFC has told the Akihabara branch to stop dressing Colonel Sanders in a maid costume apparently, so he has been returned to his original self.

Windmill releases eroge engine for public use

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

kangaeruna.jpgEroge brand Windmill has released their custom ADV engine called CatSystem2 to the public. The CatSystem2 engine is free for personal use or for making doujin games, but they have not yet decided if it will be free for commercial use.

CatSystem2 is the same engine that Windmill uses to make their games so it should be useful for people looking for another alternative free ADV game engine.
