What is an otome game?
>An otome game is a romance-focused game within the wider genre "joseimuke", meaning female-targeted games, and feature unlockable illustrated images known as CGs. The player character in otome games is always a female protagonist and can make choices to pursue male love interests over the course of the story. Otome games, or "otoge" for short, are most often text-based visual novels, but they can also be stat-raisers, rhythm games, or JRPGs.Possible Discussion topics

Guys, I'm currently playing Olympia Soiree (I'm on Tokisada's route rn and already finished Riku's) and I tried to find this info everywhere but I can't. Is Akasa's or Himuka's route longer than the other ones? I thought Riku's route was actually really quickly paced.

>>473374oh, that makes sense, thx, nonna! i tried looking it up and got a huge spoiler about himuka's route by accident so i was scared in trying to look more
>>473383i'm liking it!! it's not really my favorite otoge and i totally understand not being able to get totally immersed in the world because lowkey the color class system is just convoluted and dumb. i hate when they do this in general actually - introduce themes in the game to put in the most basic social commentary in the world and then we have to spend hours on end having to see the characters come to the unprecedented conclusion that omg racism is bad!!!11!1
with riku's route i felt like there was also an issue of olympia falling in love too fast?? like
she watches him dance once and eat a sandwhich and suddenly she's head over heels in love with him so it sort of fails the "enemies to lovers"-lite arc that it's supposed to be. however, when they get together it's super cute, specially the scenes where olympia teases riku, it's adorable how easy it is for him to blush/get embarassed so my main complaint is that there wasn't more of that teasing in his route
i also really liked that, in riku's route, shura is portrayed in a really nuanced manner? she's opposed to olympia marrying riku because it's a threat to the power of the blue clan (bc olympia can only bear children who are of the color white, and the blue clan needs more "blue" children who can wield batsu since its the main source of their social standing) and she's sort of a bitch to olympia but she's also someone who has to deal with both being a leader of a primary color class and being a woman at the same time, so she's both an enemy to olympia, trying to get in her way, and also trying to improve the social standing of other women in the island, making a new school so that they can actually learn. i thought that was an interesting conflict and i like that shura ends up wielding to olympia without turning into a full fledged villain bc i was afraid she would just be the designated bitch older woman of the castwith tokisada i'm still not done but the pacing is a lot better imo maybe bc they start out as very believable friends in the prologue and there's more scenes of them together. i'm not that into him tho i dont mind the young looking boys but eh the constant "onee-san" is annoying. himuka's and akasa's routes are the one i'm most excited to play

>>473678Besides, for the millionth time, it's just fantasy, and these fictional men don't have to think like real moids who might be closeted faggots in real life, so if the author says they're 100% heterosexual, they are, because they're not real.

I would recommend playing older games before the gendie brainrot truly took over. When I was younger I played many flash based games that looked simple but had god tier writing compared to today's slop. Let me namedrop some creators whose works I enjoyed. (picrel is from Saccharine: A Misleading Sim Date)
>AmiraloShe used to make dark, often tragic stories that had morally complex characters. Most of her older stuff was flash based but she did release one game on itch.io in recent years (it's a bit gorey and horror-like despite the otome category, though). I highly rec Reverie, where adabanas grow and saccharine if you're ok playing games on flash (I explained how here
>>>/m/411496)
https://amiralo.newgrounds.com/https://amiralo.itch.io/ityh-a-horror-otome
>ROSEVERTEI've been playing her games since 2010ish and her style has changed a bit over time. In the beginning she used to make more psychological and less fluffy games that took more risks and I liked, but in the recent years she has moved to more wholesome cute games like her "how to …." series (because of market demand probably). I think she is originally JP based.
https://roseverte.net/en/games.html
>Hanako GamesHanako's game studio is kind of a wild card, I remember liking a few while finding others (some of the new ones where probably collaborated with others) garbage. But I think Magical Diary: Horse Hall is really worth playing, it was ahead of its time. Fatal Hearts and Date Warp were fun in their own way (the character designs are kinda amateurish but the stories make up for them imo)The royal trap is good but I remember gendies reeing at how the game handled one character's parental abuse backstory, kek. Iirc the game didn't call that character trans at all, but gendies appropriated him
https://www.hanakogames.com/
>WinterwolvesUsed to make otomes with a very western feel but nowadays have more coomery designs I don't like. At least it seems like the games are still mostly female oriented. Out of the early games I remember playing the Heileen series, the stories were politically incorrect in a way today's games could never. Loren the amazon princess was set in a matriarchial society which was fun, and you could play the game in sexualized mode where both men and women dressed very scantily lmaoo. The flower shop games were also fun, but the first one wasn't otome (it had a male mc whom you could woo in the otome sequel).
https://www.winterwolves.com/pc_games.php
>ZeivaI played X-note and Area-X by Zeiva which were equal parts mystery and otome. Their art is always very clean and unique, and the stories tend to be serious and tragic (I'm still salty over Dragon Essence's sad ending). But they have also made some parody otomes like Other age 1,2 and Cliché.
https://www.zeiva.net/ No. 474223
>>473796Sorry, forgot to reply to the
nonnie. Anyway this gives me an excuse to post even more recs.
Various games where mc is pretty gutsy
>a2 ~a due~>The Rose of Segunda>Yrsa Major (more of a kinetic novel)>Cinders (cinderella retelling, art detailed but slightly odd proportions)>The Deep Unknown (like a shounen adventure with mermans but otome)Miscellaneous recs:
>RE: Alistair (my first ever otome, very polished for a free game)>Locked heart (same creator as Cinderella phenomeon, cutesy art but pretty solid story) >Halloween Otome (and maybe other stuff by Synokoria but I haven't gone through them myself yet)>Summer found me (only reccing because of Seth, I love him)>Please Don't Hate Christmas (single LI, rare yandere boy that I liked, nice twists)>Crimson Spires (very nice voice acting and interesting setting but some route writing was crap, true route ruins everything)>Changeling (I found it interesting because I love fantasy and appreciated the worldbuilding a lot, but the art can give uncanny valley sometimes. Also I only played one route so can't speak for all routes)>Dawn of the Inverted Soul (more like a horror with marginal otome elements, amateur art but complex and interesting plot, had massive number of dead ends that I enjoyed, lol)>>474214Thanks
nonnie! Happy to see another Amiralo fan out in the wild. Have you played What’s Your Name? Amiralo did the art for it, and while it had a different writer and wasn't god tier psychological midnfuck for me like old Amiralo games were, it was still pretty good.

Look at the rating KEK
I've never seen such a low rating on DLsite garumani before.
>>476235There's a group working on it and the project is still active, they'll probably release it this year. I think they're on GBAtemp.
>>476234Manga like this one is just proof that the genre is getting worse and worse. It doesn't necessarily mean that the potential readers were asking for it, just look at the ratings. I think they were just trying to chase a shitty trend that can be seen in TL manga these days. Speaking of which, TL manga artists have to follow certain cucked guidelines most of the time, it's likely that whoever is in charge at Pure Wool told the artist to draw the most moidgaze piece of crap imaginable.
The ones that do enjoy smut this graphic have been psyopped by pornsick anime and hentai, naturally.

Can prospective otome devs/writers use this thread to get opinions on whenever a certain story/character idea would be good or interesting for their target audience, or is the game dev thread a better place for it?
R/otomegames would probably be a better place to ask as well but that subreddit is kind of a shithole and I respect my fellow nonnies opinions more. My game is also kinda niche and dead dove do not eat in concept the MC doesn't get abused by the LI's though, don't worry, so I'm not really making it with reddit normies in mind.

>>477350>>477365Thank you for your input, nonnas! My question is how receptive would otome audience be to an LI that's a
cannibal, would that be an immediate turn off for you? His route is probably the most
toxic one because it's focused on the LI wanting to morally corrupt the MC, there isn't a weird maledom aspect to it though, he's actually kind of a masochist.
>>477385Well it's a historical, dark fantasy so it needs some dark themes. I'm honestly a little afraid of coming across as edgy and tryhard but scrotes get to have their schizo, gorey, waifu VN's, so I don't see why women shouldn't get to have that as well!
The LI's aren't really
abusive because the MC is a knight/mercenary (depends on the route) and pretty capable, it also doesn't really make sense for their personalities. One of them is a deeply religious, borderline Christian anarchist "everyone is equal under God" type, the other is a really repressed and high-strung autist that measures himself buy a strict code of conduct (knighthood and all that). And the third one is admittedly kinda emotionally
abusive because he's a manipulative asshole and a compulsive liar but the MC eventually puts two and two together and calls him out on it, he wouldn't hurt the MC though because she's the only person he really feels a kinship with because of plot reasons.
He's the cannibal one, truly the worst boy.It's actually mostly a story that's loosely based on the historical Bohemian Wars and the apocalyptic parts of the Book of Revelation, most of the themes center about religion too. I even went as far to name the main, cannon LI "Huss" after the historical figure Jan Huss kek. No. 477548
>>477447I really like your idea nonna! My advice is to go for it regardless of what others think. You'll always get your audience. It's your story and you should write whatever you want. I think it'd be better asking stuff like the pacing or writing of certain things like how to insert them etc. instead of "is this ok for you" bc you'll always find people who aren't into it, mixed opinions. And honestly just write whatever the hell you want, and ignore "that's for moids". I know a shiton of women who enjoy eroge but hide it bc they're named as degenerates/moid taste. The secret is to enjoy something and make it for you even if you weren’t the target audience. I love seeing moids seething for examples, now that their eroge mcs aren't ugly but instead sexy and have vas bc women joined their hobby kek.
Avoid posting on Twitter or reddit for opinions at all costs, because the first thing that they're going to ask you is if your mc will be gender choice, if there will be any queer lis or if you include any black/fat/trans LIs in. Just be careful nona and good luck. You can ask ebihime too if it's not your first otome project for dev advice.
No. 477562
>>477447While it doesn't sound like something that totally panders to me, I would try it anyway. I'm tired of dark romances typically involving the MC being physically abused so I'm more interested because you aren't going that route.

No. 477569
>>477447> My question is how receptive would otome audience be to an LI that's a cannibalNona, no joke, I browse the
cannibalism tag on VNDB at least a few times a year trying to find new games I might've missed
(I like the trope for its horror elements; I'm not weird lol). I am your VN's target audience. Also worth noting there's a pretty popular OELVN otome with that as a major theme, too, and that hasn't impeded its popularity at all, so I don't think I'm alone in this.
>Well it's a historical, dark fantasy so it needs some dark themes. I'm honestly a little afraid of coming across as edgy and tryhard but scrotes get to have their schizo, gorey, waifu VN's, so I don't see why women shouldn't get to have that as well! I'd personally enjoy this. There needs to be more dark and plot-centered otome games overall. It feels like, in a lot of communities, what passes as 'dark' in the otome world is different from typical VNs or BL games. It's sad because I genuinely think there's an audience for this type of thing. I'm 100% on board with this, and 2/3 of the LIs sound like my exact thing. Out of curiosity, how long would you anticipate it being? It sounds like an ambitious project, so I'd assume pretty lengthy? Also, with regard to the
apocalyptic thing, are you planning on a tragic ending?

>>479634I've only played the PC version, so I can't help you with the Switch vs PC thing. The game itself is very, very divisive. I've seen people hate it, but I personally thought it was great.

AYRT to both of you and apologies in advance for the long post.
>>479658It's been a while, but off the top of my head:
>The entire plot is centered around fairytale-themed gang violence. Despite this fact, the MC has absolutely no self-preservation instincts. It's not the regular "uwu I'm so innocent and naive" type; this girl acts like she has a death wish at times. This is semi-justified by the fact that she's a brick-and-mortar tower brought to life and thus doesn't understand most of the world.>A lot of the editing choices are just plain weird. There's a particular jingle that plays at every fucking scene transition. There are also really weird cuts just in the middle of the story; some would call it a 'pacing issue.' I would not call it that because I thought it was funny. >There are cheating options where the MC can just cheat on her boyfriend in the middle of a normal route and start dating one of his friends/coworkers.>There's a route where the MC starts going to a brothel and hiring male prostitutes. The owner of this brothel is the local priest who also moonlights as a pimp. This pimp/priest is also Dorian Gray from the Oscar Wilde novella. Also, in one of the endings, you, the player, get to rename him. I won't explain how or why, but this entire route had me staring at my screen in disbelief.>In the true route, the story completely abandons its initial premise and turns into a battle royale where all of the characters start trying to kill each other. Three of the side characters form a literal suicide pact at one point. I really cannot do this part justice but it was the highlight of the game for me.This is far from an extensive list, but the entire game felt like a fever dream. I kind of look at it like a trashy romcom or something? I didn't just enjoy it for comedic reasons; the true route was so legitimately good in a way that a lot of otomes I've played don't manage. For me, I'd rather read something interesting and funny with some rough patches than something that's good on a technical level but dull.
>>479646From what I've seen, it's because there's two particular routes that get weirdly dark/kind of depressing, which people don't like for understandable reasons. One of them is explicitly written to be fucking insane and you have to go out of your way to get it; the other one is one of the side route guys being a unique brand of awful. Additionally, people hate the cheating mechanic, even though there's a non-cheating route for every boy. Like you said, the MC also has an IQ slightly below room temperature. There's actually a lore reason for her stupidity, and she's written TO BE stupid, so it didn't bother me. It's not as though she's making these dumbass decisions and nobody's calling her out on it. It's also written in a humorous way, so I felt like I was in on the joke rather than it being poor writing. I like dumpster fires, though, so when people say they hate it, I don't blame them.

I like that you could choose to play as either a girl or a guy (for yaoi fujo purposes) and there were different CGs for both of them. The art is really well done and each LI has an interesting and unique route. I also liked the item crafting system and the different missions. Arshem was my favorite LI, but Quill was a close second, and I think the dev is working on an expanded DLC where you will be able to romance

> tiktok speechunfortunately, the cringe tiktok meme-isms do continue,
especially for Quill’s route, he’s basically a stereotypical sassy gay man trope but it’s tolerable imo. Outside of his route, the cringe is negligible.
>gendie stuffyou can choose themlet pronouns for MC, but that’s as far as it interferes in the story. All the other characters/LIs are normal guys or girls. If there are themlet NPCs, I don’t remember them and they weren’t important. However, there are some minimal typos/mixed up pronouns where sometimes girl MC is referred to as he/him on accident (you know it’s a typo because in the same sentence, female pronouns are also used).
>sex in gameThere is some mildly steamy content in the main game, kissing, fondling and the like, but the characters never get fully nude. From what I remember, you can have sex with your LI, but all the sex scenes are fade to black. To me, the male MC has somewhat more racy CGs and dialogue options than female MC.
I think it’s because BS originally started as a BL webtoon and female MC was added later on, but idk for sure If you want explicit sex and nude scenes in game, you’ll need to get the Harlots DLC, but I wouldn’t do that until after you play through the original and see if you like it.
The game definitely has its faults, but for the most part, it’s a fun time and the MC isn’t a complete moron. I hope this helps you decide nona!

>>482135I absolutely love Yurika, she is basically the star of the whole game even though the story technically is more about Alice than her. Girl doesn't take anyone's shit and can do literally anything she puts her mind to lol. The LIs are scared of her cuz she teases them so much, kek. Alice in particular - she follows him wherever she goes and pins him down if she needs to, she will say whatever she thinks and does whatever she wants without any concerns.
She's still a kind person, but my favourite part of her was her major flaw that she was more self centred than the game would let on. Cuz she seems so perfect, but she will subtly persuade people to make them do what is needed for her goals. Hell the story itself is wild but I can't talk about that cuz MAJOR spoiler
BTW I played the jp version and recommend everyone to play it as well. I originally started with the English version but the tl was BAD like downright awful, see picrel from previous thread. The actual story of the game can be very heavy at times and even there localizers just fucking had to throw in jokes. Also they made yurika too casual, in JP the best part about her shitting on people was that she did it politely. She was relatively less ruined compared to the guys though, they made ookami so horny for no reason and named him Wolfie, turned Kaguya British and gave Alice 4chan incel tier language like dickless beta cuck, never forgive

I think that a lot of otome fans outside of Japan have a very narrow view of the genre, which I get because very little of it gets translated, and it doesn't help that they don't engage with Japanese fan discourse.

>>487560huh i wonder what they meant with violent against the main character in olympia soiree
im still currently playing it and i have a lot of issues with it but its mostly how gender essentialist and how much it imposes motherhood and pregnancy unto the main character as this rightful divine path she MUST follow to be happy, at times it genuinely seems like japanese government propaganda trying to convince a random office worker playing the game that she needs to have children
No. 487604
>>487566That's what confuses me, as well. I can understand that frustration if you were blindsided, but I would think Diabolik Lovers is the primary example of a game where you cannot be blindsided. It's like going to a steakhouse and getting mad they serve meat.
>>487575>They're right about the moidgaze, thoughAgreed, and I'd argue a lot of western VNs have the same issue of sexualizing the female protagonist. That doesn't absolve Japanese games of it, of course, but I think it's naive to act like western games are not guilty of the same things, just in different ways. Some western games also have the issue of trying to target every demographic in existence aside from just women, as well as feeling the need to make some of their LIs ugly. There's a lot I don't like about certain Japanese otome games, too, but it's just strange how people feel the need to proclaim one to be the 'morally correct' way of doing it instead of acknowledging there are things wrong with both of them.
>>487588>it genuinely seems like japanese government propaganda trying to convince a random office worker playing the game that she needs to have childrenKek I had the same tinfoil, even if I thought Olympia Soiree was fun overall.
>>487598>"I was an asshole because I loved you" crap.There's a very popular otome LI that I feel this way about, and I feel like he escapes way more criticism than he deserves. I'm a huge fan of mean boys in otome (I have a very specific favorite type), but his attitude didn't sit right with me, especially because there's nothing about the protagonist that gives her an 'edge' over him. There's never a time he's shown that his attitude or worldview with regard to the protagonist is wrong, so it sort of makes his behavior seem justified by the narrative. His whole route felt like he was kicking a puppy, and then he's rewarded for doing so. I'm usually not the type of person who is sensitive to that sort of thing, so I was kind of surprised by how much I disliked him.

No. 487632
>>487598I don't mind Saeki that much because the protagonist teases him back, so their dynamic is amusing rather than frustrating. Japanese fans call them a ケンカップル.
On the other hand, many Japanese long-time fans of TMGS disliked the dynamic between Kazama and "Mary" in GS4 because he's mean to her, and she, for the most part, just accepts it. She's spineless compared to the previous three protagonists. That's why Kazama is the least popular prince to date (even being seen as less popular than another guy in the same game, which is a first for a prince) and that's also why he attracts yanderefags and do-M players.
>>487613Most love interests are like this to varying degrees, it's not
just ore-sama characters. Even when they're not annoying by default and they seem to be nice, a single scene can ruin them. Just because you can't see it or it's not a problem for you, be it because it's so prevalent that you're used to it or whatever, doesn't mean someone else is wrong for noticing and disliking it.
>>487628>I remember a lot of English only fans complaining about him being abusiveMaybe I need to replay his scenes to see if he's really that bad, but like I said before, the protagonist's reaction can change the way you see a love interest entirely and that's what made Saeki tolerable for many.
Also, in case you wanted to know, the guy who's more popular than Kazama is Nanatsumori.

>>487611>>487621a character doesnt need to turn to the camera and literally tell something for a message to be passed. the main purpose of any otoge is romance but the hyperfocus the game has in reproduction and fertility, specifically, weirds me out.
the main premise of the game is that olympia must find a husband and bear children to preserve the white lineage. my problem with it is not the concept itself but rather that its just never truly questioned—not by her, nor the story. she just… embraces it with uncritical enthusiasm, framing motherhood as a divine purpose and the ultimate proof of love. even in yosuga’s route, where the narrative critiques the island’s misogynistic treatment of women (reducing them to vessels, discarding those who fail), the game still treats olympia’s choice as inevitable and the only possible happy ending.
olympia’s parents are also held up as this beacon of "true love"— despite her mother being essentially abandoned after a one-night stand, left to raise a child alone and rather than interrogating this, olympia internalizes it as aspirational. there's no real narrative weight, no fear, she just has this naive fantasy of a future traditional family (which is weird considering she was brought up being raised quite unconventionally)

I don’t even mind red flags, they were just fucking boring. Had me passing out in my chair more than once. Didn’t even need melatonin.
Here’s your lineup of Lili’s amazing love interests:

The promotion picrel already is establishing mc as an unique, not sexualized badass which is a very good sign.

>>488565I'm not a player, but what I know is that it has maledom shit as well. Before release, the game baited everyone with femdom and later their promotional materials changed to maledom. This pissed a lot of people off, including me.
Also, AFAIK the player character is a porn addict, she watches violent misogynistic pornography. That's something I saw mentioned here and I'm not a fan of that concept either.
But from what I've seen lately, it seems that the game isn't so bad after all because it still has a decent amount of femdom, and it's the only otome game that might be on the same level of degeneracy as moid coomer slop. The animations are kinda cringe but at least it's explicitly malesub and there's male ryona. But maybe that changes in the actual story so IDK.

Ok I’ll try to TL;DR WHB and how it is.
It’s a yume POV game clearly written by women for women gooners, even though they threw in a male MC option to appease the fujos.
The MC is basically a degenerate gooner who’s constantly thinking about getting dicked by the guys. She’s gotten kinda greedy too and doesn’t want her sluts fucking anyone else, so she gatekeeps their dicks for now.
But she’s still down for 3Ps. Even in the most dramatic or emotional scenes, she’s still horny. Like some guy’s dying in front of her and she’s thinking about how hot he looks or if she can still ride him. And yes, she does fuck some while they’re literally on the verge of death.
If you like funny unhinged, batshit nonsense with black/degen humor, you’ll probably enjoy the story. It has occasional fluff too as crazy as it sounds lmao.
As for the LIs: they all have tragic sob stories and most get weirdly attached to you the second you show them even the slightest bit of affection.
Only the seven demon kings and the three angels are actual LIs and get cards. But PrettyGreedy chans care about cash, so they toss in some limited cards for side characters now and then.
The boys get super petty with each other over you but most of them are kind of into being NTR’d, so they fap to it in front of you. You can fuck the side characters too ofc, and the angels eventually.
Think of it like a sex simulator, your mission is to fuck your way through hell and heaven.
Credit where it’s due: the English fandom (as retarded as it is) spammed the devs enough that they actually added more femdom content. So that’s a win.
As for the noncon: it’s mainly with the angels. They’re the only “pure” ones , the three main LIs, the rest of heavens are sluts. So these 3 angels know nothing about sex and are technically the antagonists. They’re deranged and violent, but MC decided to "punish" them during a Christmas event and slightly nonconned them.
Unfortunately they’ve got chastity belts only God can unlock and had limited time so didn't go all the way.
The English fandom, of course, complained, but the devs didn’t give a single flying fuck. Money talked, so they added noncon to some devil cards too.
MC honestly only cares about her pussy at this point.
These three angels are hers and hells literal sworn enemies, she fights them everyday, as they’ve genocided like 3/4 of hell …and yet she’s still down to fuck them.
No shame whatsoever. Girl’s got her priorities, and they’re all below the belt.
Right now, MC’s grooming the most violent angel of them all, the dumbest one. He genuinely thinks what happened during Christmas was a divine gift from Father God himself. He’s never had love or affection in his life, middle child treatment much, so now he’s glued to MC and wants to abduct her to heaven. He's out here happily planning to lose his virginity like he’s prepping for a beach date, literally packing snacks and everything. Total idiot, but kind of adorable.
So yeah, looks like the angels are finally getting their turn in the story for real this time.

>>488591Unfortunately, yes.
>>488593I mean, the trailer itself has pretty sexual scenes between her and them. I guess it's not considered otome if all they do is imply BDSM sex/sexy fanservice? Since it's a "harem" and no serious relationships are developed. But there definitely are non-explicit
Also it's being called an RPG so that's probably more "important".

Latest noncon card was Satan’s torture one.
MC shapeshifts into Gabriel, one of the three seraphim and Satan’s sworn enemy, then proceeds to sexually abuse and torture him while looking like that.
Satan absolutely hates it at first because he thinks it's Gabriel, but MC is fully getting off on his rage and seething.
Eventually, Satan realizes it’s actually MC and not Gabriel and she’s just LARPing as him for her own unholy cooms and ends up finding it hot that she’s that happy and that much of a degenerate.

With this tool you can hook all pc games. You can hook some psp games too. And vita/switch ones.
For pc you just need to run your game.
For the rest you need to emulate them. Ppsspp emulator, vita3k, ryujinx/yuzu-sudachi. You'll have no problem finding multiple tutorials on yt and set them up.
For vita and switch text hooking though, better use this tool.
https://github.com/0xDC00/agentIt's very easy to use and most otome games have scripts so you don't need to do anything yourself just hook the game and choose the games script. And then simply use luna for translation.

The creator herself is/was a gendie. Had "genderqueer" on her main twitter profile and had health issues since she used to post about going to the hospital a lot. She had "narcist" on her profile at one point too, which in hindsight would explain why she was so hellbent on doing everything herself (art, music, programming, even voice direction) for her game and overworked herself. Her next game (Murder Plaza) was also going to feature gendie characters, but she self-destructed and cancelled everything and deleted her profile. I know she has a new pseudonym and has been publishing doujin on DLsite garumani, but I haven't kept up with her.
I would still recommend giving it a try for the other boys. DLsite is supposed to translate the game but hasn't said much about it in years. Aside from MTL, there was a partial patch for Eba done by an obnoxious oldfag redditor who probably won't give access to it anymore, but maybe someone has it. Someone on Tumblr was translating Meiyou's route but I remember it being kinda bad.

>>500168Yeah it's normal for manga artists to be both otomefags and fujos or to branch out at some point. I'd rather they learn from different genres like BL and even moidshit (if applying those principles but on male characters) so they can improve and diversify otome/TL, than them never straying from the sterile, boring and stagnant conventions of genres for "pure maidens". Though of course how much they can get away with also depends on the backwards retards in charge of the industry, unless it's a doujin game.

Screaming "GAY" at anything doesn't work too and it's dumb lol, but it's not that it doesn't make sense if you think about it.
Joseimuke will never kill otome of course, as many yumes would hate that, but adding BL elements like bisexual LIs or side charas to otome, is something that I've seen happen lately. In BL most are straight/bi, but as for the first, it's kind of a fetish, turn a straight to gay.

I wouldn't have guessed her character sprites were AI-generated… aside from the one with the braid.

I would like to ask how she did her
backgrounds though. I don't see any attribution on the itch page? They're filtered but suggest a lot of detail.
It wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone blur their own studies to use as backgrounds. But this is the part I would suspect she used AI the most.

I think I’ve got a better example that might appeal more to the otome crowd.
He’s from that new BL game that dropped about a month ago. The art style leans more otomeish, ikemen and generally more appealing to most women. The armpit hair is super faint and thin.
The other artist also does eroge, and it really shows in her art. The game itself was very male gay pandering, the devs even admitted it.

>>477345Two months later, i finally have finished lover pretend. Mini review on my thoughts on it: It was honestly surprisingly good! Ive heard the mixed reviews about it coming from people especially shitting on the love interest Kazuma, which is totally deserved. He is the only LI that i did not like. I was not expecting him to be the to give incel vibes and his route is usually recommended to be played first, which is a horrible first impression of the game kek I genuinely loved all the other guys, and their routes were solid. The game gives k-drama vibes at times, but i kinda enjoyed that considering the game revolves heavy on the film industry setting. This might put some people off though but personally i felt it was quite fitting. Yukito is my fav LI and everytime he would appear on other LIs routes, i would start missing him. I was also not expecting to get a (fake out) incest route, but unfortunately otomate never commits. I also found myself relating to the MC for the first time in a long time. She has fears of men and is frugal, shes like me fr. I dont recommend paying full price for this game but if you want something cute and fun i think it does it well. There is not a lot of otome that take place in real-world setting and im always happy to play one.

I will be very happy if they reach their goal, but isn't this way too expensive? And for such short amount of time?

>>503068It's probably accounted for as a "fee" in that 70%. There was a kickstarter to localize Otomate's Beastmaster and Prince 9 years ago, with a goal of $150,000 USD! It failed, only reaching $74,294. They posted a breakdown of the costs, 15% was for voice licensing. That would be $22500. The page for it is still up

>>506805Paimon? Iirc, some didn't like the fact that the Paimon was very manly in reality, especially during sex and wanted him to be a trans woman.
Some still call him a trans woman, he is not, but the devs didn't even reply to them and usually they reply to all emails, even to the most retarded ones. They refused to add yuri in the game too.
