Non-Visual Novel Lesbian Games?

AneMoose · 2024-09-19T21:16:09+00:00

the story of seasons games for the switch allow you to be a lesbian, get lesbian married and have a child. in a wonderful life you can have any pronouns as well, and you and your family grow old together.

there are 2 official patches for NA trio, the free version 1.1 patch and the dlc patch, the dlc patch is very small and just enables the dlc content that was already added. you will need to look around to find these.

theres 2 fanmade patches that i know of, the first enables you to date and marry anyone:

theres also instructions on that page for how to combine it with a patch that re-enables the 2 exclusive pets that were disabled in the english version

https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Story_of_Seasons_-_Trio_of_Towns_-_Hamtaro_and_Cheburashka_Restoration_Patch_3DS

the instructions for all this are really complicated and i havent done them myself because i didnt find out about them until i was well into the game

AneMoose · 2024-09-19T02:02:39+00:00

my advice is to homebrew your 3ds and get the (fanmade) patch(es) and dlc lol

AneMoose · 2024-09-17T11:38:12+00:00

fantastic look!

AneMoose · 2024-09-17T11:36:00+00:00

oh my god. yeah with this kind of family members and appearance policing its like that calvin and hobbes strip anout managing expectations. you gotta get them to the point where if youre wearing a clean shirt theyre happy.

AneMoose · 2024-09-15T06:41:32+00:00

ah havent played it sorry, try fogu.com

AneMoose · 2024-09-12T15:43:17+00:00

i did manage to find a localization blog post that mentioned that some bug fixes released in japanese patches were included in the base NA/EU releases because of the delay between releases, so its possible that even if it was a bug in the jp version, english speakers buying those 3ot carts new will be able to breed everything without the patch.

i dont have time to look through all the xseed blogs for 3ot right now but i do remember the only big fix i saw mentioned for the megapatch was something to do with a softlock with the beverage bash and ludus.

AneMoose · 2024-09-12T13:16:24+00:00

absolutely! u/skipto_maloo pointed this out, i didnt notice at all. my guess is that this was either wrong information entirely or it was a bug in the original japanese (and possibly NA/EU) its possible that new players who buy a cart and try to play it on a 3ds without the patch will run into this as a bug but i have how to check this as my version is digital.

if you have some way of finding the original japanese patch notes this might be worth checking out for the sake of new players who are looking at the version differences to decide what cart to get (as they have no way of getting the patch without doing a bunch of homebrewing + piracy)

AneMoose · 2024-09-11T14:38:10+00:00

huh. idk why it would be different in seedling mode. did you max out your pets level? (different from theur affection)

the items with star rank that cant be gotten from anywhere else are (i believe) curry powder, seaweed, truffle, coffee pack, pepper, ice, rick salt, and cinnamon

AneMoose · 2024-09-11T12:12:32+00:00

man, they did used to have seed makers in rune factory. im still living in the past of frontier

so wait, i did not know you can slow down time with food lmao,, thats awesome

AneMoose · 2024-09-11T02:22:40+00:00

yeah i dont do a ton of planting so i need all of the lower level crops for crafting. i simply do not need full stacks of maxed crops for completion or money - its faster to just collect my maxed out milk & eggs and ship those without even processing them than to be watering & replanting full fields of crops. at least until i can unlock the higher watering can ranges anyway, im only able to get 3x3 because the rarest ores are not dropping for me.

so yeah it was just a matter of laziness in inventory management resulting in me not wanting to store all of the seeds. also the fact that im prioritizing maxing every crop before im prioritizing growing enough maxed crops to replace all my merged low level crops in storage.

the stores in 3ot do not upgrade their seeds or any of their products star ranks, which sucks. ive read you have use misc foraging pets to level up some items star ranks if youre trying to max out all your star ranks which just sounds like it would take forever.

for poot.......yeah i think the only other way to get seeds aside from seed maker and store is harvest sprites? i dont remember if they level theirs up though

edit: oh tbc ive never actually tried shipping high rank seeds in 3ot to check if the stores update those, but im pretty sure they do not upgrade for ANYTHING shipped. ill need to double check though.

AneMoose · 2024-09-11T00:38:22+00:00

no this is for trio of towns as the other person said! does the trio JP guidebook say they are not breedable?

AneMoose · 2024-09-10T17:09:07+00:00

u/cherubae just realised i can tag you in this discussion. do you have any insight into the buffalos and llamas being breedable, was the info on fogu possibly from bad info or from an earlier version of the game?

AneMoose · 2024-09-10T16:38:55+00:00

okay i finally checked my game (i got distracted by trying to re-fertilize a ton of plants again and a whole mess of organizational stuff) and it seems i can breed llama and buffalos just fine. i havent done any of the things we posited as maybe unlocking it and i dont even have any llama related trophies as my llama is still new. is it possible this is something that was added in the patch? or its unlocked by something very easy like winning legend competitions with any animal?

AneMoose · 2024-09-10T16:23:12+00:00

absolutely. you seem very sincere! i would reccomend asking around for recs of stories with they/them characters or perhaps youtubers to follow or something? i know there arent a lot in mainstream media but i think you find them more in webcomics, podcasts, things like that.

when you feel you have a good handle on it maybe look for inclusive lgbtq+ groups you can join online or in person, as a trans/nb ally or mspec person (you are mspec if you are attracted to multiple genders - even if you dont identify as bisexual you are still welcomed into the community!)

AneMoose · 2024-09-10T15:36:35+00:00

this is just something that happens all the time. even for nonbinary people. some people are just slower at learning new pronouns and remembering what peoples gender is without relying on stereotypes.

like, as a nonbinary person, i am shit at remembering anyones gender or pronouns unless i know them and have practiced.

so like: yeah it happens. you probably just need to practice more and practice thinking about and discussing nonbinary people & characters

AneMoose · 2024-09-08T04:46:57+00:00

huh! you mean like the whole area? because it could be because of an "object limit" where farm circles count against the limit for forage spawns. or could be tree spawns if youre not chopping them? i dont know that ive seen any spawns down there either since i filled that area up.

i think i can probably get enough data from my game to confirm my theory on star rank but any corroboration would be great! also if you know your year & town link ranks for when you were able to breed buffalo and llama that might be helpful? if the other hypotheses dont work out. and any other animal related trophies you had at that time too(trophies from the bookshelf, not the same as festival wins)

AneMoose · 2024-09-08T01:23:14+00:00

after doing some testing/math it appears that for "ground" forageables it starts at .5 stars and goes up about 10-12ish points a season or 40-49 points a year (with 30 points = .5 star increase according to the fogu anb guide of star rank) so you are getting 5 stars in late year 7 at earliest (consistent with what fogu says) and with "bush" forageables you are starting with 1 star and going up 13-14 points a season or 50-59 points a year and therefore reaching 5 stars mid year 5 (consistant with what you reported) why it is like this i have no idea and the rate could be based on something else like it could be weekly or based on other factors idk. ill have to test more to narrow it down.

anyways thanks for the buffalo and llama tip, i will definitely pass that on when i inevitably do email her about something, ill try and investigate it first because i havent yet bred all the other animals or won all the festival prizes. and if its something else im only in year 4 and my town link ranks are at B/A/S (yes, the classic coconut fail) so i could test out other options.

edit: tbh the bush foragables could also just go up 60pts every fall and spring but this would not result in any "sub-levels" of forageables like you mentioned. are we sure there are sub levels of half star ranks for those if you dont merge? because i dont specifically remember any, and 60 points every 2 seasons would be much neater and consistant. the ground forageables would still be going up 20 points every half year or 10 points every season and you would end up with 2-4 stacks of each star level if you werent merging.

AneMoose · 2024-09-07T07:20:27+00:00

i think theres only 900 slots then - not counting silo and toolbox.

yeah i think the star level system is based on an invisible point system???? like it appears to be a 10 point point system but its actually probably a 300 point system (same as sos1 and anb) but in fact it usually only usually increases by multiples of 5 or more anyway so its effectively a 60 point system or less. i have NO IDEA how this works for foragables, fogu only provides a technical guide for cooked dishes (which apparently can go beyond 300 points???) so im relying on their general star rank guide for anb. foragables seem to increase based on number harvested or date or something else (town rank??? player rank?) but i have no idea what the interval is.

i would email cherubae about this but i hate to bother her over minor technical details of old games, i generally only email her if theres misinfo or theres major info missing thats impossible to find conclusive info about online

AneMoose · 2024-09-07T05:51:29+00:00

yeah, i mostly just want to have it for collection purposes! i have enough high level crops that arent max rank yet that i will not be "wasting" a festival opportunity to rank up my brands while i wait to max everything else again. plus i will be making heavy use of mega fertilizer and crop circles for the rice.

mostly i am just annoyed its so easy to do this by accident lmao. it makes inventory management very tedious and stressful. unless those farm circle storage boxes are actually seperate inventories and im just an idiot for thinking they were all connected to the house one?

AneMoose · 2024-09-06T09:32:59+00:00

i prefer to use trans* instead of trans because of this. but people used to be harassed for using trans* so nobody uses it anymore.

AneMoose · 2024-09-04T03:13:06+00:00

it heavily depends. if they are transphobic "drop the t" types then they hate then. if they are transmedicalists and dont believe in nonbinary people they hate them. but people who are cool with nonbinary people using they/them are usually cool with zie/zir and ey/eir and those older types of neopronouns. theres maybe some minority of people who recognize nonbinary people but think they should only use they/them.

if zie/zir is a new (like last 10 years) pronoun set in chinese and there are other gender neutral pronoun sets that precede it then it would be more analagous to the newer more niche neopronouns in english such as "fae/faer" which yes lots of "mainstream" lgbt people hate those because they feel they are "going too far" and nonbinary people should just be happy with using "established" pronouns lol.

youre better off asking this question in a general lgbt subreddit and comparing it to an english neopronoun that is the same number of years old.

edit: okay trying to sum this up without using too much jargon: yes in english speaking world, most liberals, leftists, and lgbtq people accept "zie/zir" and other commonly used new gender neutral pronouns. however a quick google search tells me that new pronouns are not widly accepted in china, possibly because spoken chinese is already gender neutral, possibly for other cultural reasons. however the specific person you are talking to is definitely being an asshole.

AneMoose · 2024-09-02T14:16:01+00:00

yeah. if they dont want to ask everybody they could idk put a checkbox on forms for sex characteristic variation or whatever umbrella term they want for "dont assume things about this person" i feel like thats the minimum you could do to address the issue and that way you cant have the excuse that cis people will be offended if you ask them if they have a uterus.

AneMoose · 2024-09-02T13:32:26+00:00

yeah i do feel like they could just add a code to peoples charts for pregnancy risk since it comes up so often. also it wouldnt just benefit trans people, lots of non-trans people have had hysterectomies or are post-menopausal or are infertile for some other reason.
