New mega collaboration eroge announced

Monday, October 19th, 2009

tedanofaa

Title: Taiyou no ko
Scenario: Maruto Fumiaki, Looseboy, Takahiro
Art: Nekonyan, Arufaa, Shironeko sanbou

Details will be announced in Techgian February 2010 issue.

It must be the new trend to throw as many famous writers and artists as they possibly can onto a single project.

Also, being incredibly busy with work is the new trend for me.

Love Death 4 now with shape recognition

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

oh so big

Eroge maker Teatime has announced Love Death 4 and revealed that it will be taking the Tech48 face recognition technology even further now, using the camera to detect shapes too.

Details about how the shape recognition is not known yet, but the example suggests that the character will recognize the male sexual organ and react to it.

I guess we might finally be coming to the age where eroge gamers will do hip exercises in front of their monitor while completely naked.

Eroge that everybody should have played

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

high level

This post is based on a list of eroge that was going around 2ch early last year that went “You should be ashamed of yourself if you haven’t read these “books” before you were 20″.

Somewhere along while writing this I realised that this list is meaningless to post in English because the only guys that can really respond to it at all are the people that understand Japanese anyway, but it was too late and I finished the post.

Cross Channel full translation released

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I just realized that Amaterasu Translations has released a full translation patch for Tanaka Romeo’s Cross Channel. I liked the game so I’m posting about it now that it’s translated!

Fate/Stay Night writer Nasu Kinoko gave it a rave review back when the game was first released:

There is nothing to say about this.
I had a hunch about it, but I didn’t expect it to be this good.

CROSS†CHANNEL (FlyingShine)

I’ll make this my family heirloom.
It’s both my good fortune and bad luck that I would meet this work which now reigns as an absolute and insurmountable wall.

Anyway the game is too amazing so everybody please play it! Oh man, I know saying all this is like I’m strangling my own neck, but I can’t stop myself from recommending it!

Also I don’t know if they translated it, so this might only apply for the guys that know Japanese, but if you played Cross Channel and haven’t read Tower of Friends (トモダチの塔), you might want to google for it. It’s one of the extra scenarios by Romeo that was in the official settings book which ties up a few loose ends.

Nishimata Aoi batteries to be sold in major stores

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Nishimata Aoi has announced on her blog that AA and AAA batteries featuring her art will go on sale in a number of major electronics stores in Japan starting from the 19th of September.

She doesn’t say exactly which of the major electronics stores the batteries will be sold in yet, but she mentions she has seen the list and it’s a bunch of really famous names.

Nishimata has been commissioned to do a lot of random stuff like moe sleeping bags or moe watermelons recently, but this seems like the first time that one of the goods containing her work may be entering large scale distribution. Aside from the Star Wars book that is.

    Fate/Stay Night UBW movie is 90 minutes

    Friday, August 21st, 2009

    too short

    Via: Seasons of Change

    Type-moon Ace vol.3 has a comment from Nasu Kinoko saying that he hopes the Fate movie will be a very densely packed 90 minute experience.

    I can’t imagine Unlimited Blade Works in 90 minutes, I wonder how they’ll try to pull it off.

    Also Nasu Kinoko said in an old issue of Tech Gian that development for Mahou Tsukai no Yoru had paused for a while and it was because he was too busy playing Demon’s Souls.

    Also the official site for MBAA PS2 has updated with Arcueid (Princess)’s profile:

    The princess of the True Ancestors. Arcueid’s true form.
    A True Ancestor of high purity, a representation of the aspect of the planet’s feelers. It’s not an alternate personality of Arcueid, the normal Arcueid is the same as what she is.

    Her appearance this time is where she has temporarily borrowed the body. For Arcueid’s body to return to this form, she will apparently have to first get back her hair which was taken away from her.

    Just add Altrouge already.

    Mahou tsukai no yoru delayed to 2010

    Via: Seasons of Change

    The latest issue of Tech Gian has announced that Type-moon’s Mahou tsukai no yoru has been delayed from 2009 autumn to 2010. Also some event CG from the game.

    I’m starting to have a feeling that I’ll never get to see the Mahou tsukai no yoru three part series to the end when they’re taking at least 2 years to make the first part when the story was already written 13 years ago. They’ve still got Girl’s Work and Tsukihime remake before Mahoyo 2 too, this will take a while.

    Also French Bread’s Narita was saying on his diary that MBAA PS2 is out and it’s probably going to be the last version, and whatever he does next will probably be in high res… but he saw the new goketsuji and started thinking that low res sprites may still be good too.

  • Alicesoft has announced that development of Rance 8 is now stopped and put on hold and they’re doing a remake of Rance 2 instead.
  • Game DL site BGameBox has announced that they’ll be removing the rape and “training” (training to be a slave etc) categories from their site as according to the instructions from the ratings organization. But according to their mail magazine they’re now calling the rape category the “Platinum category” (japanese pun) and the “Training” category will now be called “Thoroughbred”.

    However they also add a note saying that games in these categories may one day still disappear from the site without warning.

  • A highschool kid has been arrested for stealing a manga that came with a DVD, which is suspected to be ToLoveru. At a sensitive time like this I hope this won’t become a repeat of the Saori incident.

  • Bad Behavior has blocked 956 access attempts in the last 7 days.
