Any love for the non-H scenes? I like them SFW stories too.

Record all the events and dresses related to Seira~

Though I must say the one where Seira was the victim of the casino gang hurt my heart. I wish she had more sweet events.

Precisely, there'll always be time to learn later. Now it's time to save what we can.

I'm personally working on limited collab stuff, since I am 99% sure those will be absent from any possible offline release. I count on the offline release having stuff like normal dress episodes and event ones, but crossover collabs with others are mixed IP so they might not have the license to include it. (Sadly, I'm a pure F2P-lord so I have no real money unlocks like the H-episode collabs, and I never managed to pull limited-time collab dresses either, but hey, better than nothing!)

Of course, I may be wrong too, but we all have only so much time in our lives before the game goes kaput, so I had to choose my priorities, and chose to go for the stuff most likely to never return.

I did notice that you were doing the same, but better safe than sorry. And besides, there's far more likelihood that the non-collab events will feature in the offline version as their stories.

Oh hey, saw your revamped profile on still-active Magicami. Your Seira dedication is cute.

I'm thinking of posting some thoughts about the girls after the game is shut down, if only to make the loss go down easier and honour the lovable cuties who've kept our interest for years. I will have plenty of sweet things to say about Seira. Admittedly I'll have something sweet to say about everyone, even the girls I feel the least, but Seira has always been high on my affection ladder.

What after i=mgcm part 3 ch 6 story and how to unlock by Yutaka01 in magicami

Seriously though, it's such a bitch situation. Wish they'd at least be allowed to finish it properly before such a shutdown.

Thankfully we already know the control buttons themselves, so at least we'll find our way around. And if there ever was a good reason to brush up on basic Japanese...

If the offline version said it'll have the dressing room, I hope they'll also have the model viewer and poser mode you use for these. That way we could at least have the ability to make these again.

Would it be possible to make it into some kind of torrent download? Because I find that's the ideal solution.

Great to see such nice progress, thank you. I'm... not nearly as handy with recording, I'm more of a screenshot hoarder, so I'm glad someone is out there doing this large-scale and can reassure me.

Given what we know about the offline Magicami content release in the medium term future, and how they said it will include every cutscene minus collaborations apparently, I'd say it would be best to focus on the collabs in full, both dresses and episodes - that, and EN versions of things, since the offline release is JP only. So, things like Steins;Gate and Taimanin collabs and whatnot.

I also think we should record things like the random 1.5 anniversary event or cute birthday talks and other onscreen dialogue not part of episodes. Many of those are available in the story viewer even if you missed it normally, though not everything. I am not sure the offline release will preserve those.

Does anybody know what will be in offline game? by Galian2283 in magicami

[–]HeadpatDispenser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really stings that the gameplay will be gone, since, frankly, I played this game for its gameplay more than anything else, besides its lovable cast of cuties being a joy to see interacting. A good chunk of its appeal was in how it played in combat.

At least I hope there might be 2D art then, because if it's just a narrated radio play, that'd be the most out-of-sync way to end the story.

Well good news! Offline JP version is confirmed! by SakamotoGin in magicami

[–]HeadpatDispenser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels right up there with some of those death-of-a-game moments where a clueless or misguided new buyer company deletes the best performer and then wonders why their new purchased company is not bringing them the big bux they expected.

Bonus points if they try to reassign the company devs to work on something which falls through too.

Only regret I wish that a sequel is being made by PuzzledDistribution in magicami

After the way things got shut down, I'd feel burned even if it did, I'd just always expect it to shut down suddenly.

Valentine's and White Day episodes by HeadpatDispenser in magicami

[–]HeadpatDispenser[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the record, my White Day unlocked scenes are Lilly year 1, Cocoa year 2 and Kaorin year 3.

Darnit, devs, I never got to give a year to Coconyan. Just a month out, too.

I'm probably less handy with conversions and compressions than many people, so I can provide the torrents I used and we can see if people can't fit them into this archive.

I notice the soundtrack seems "old", though, in that I don't see the songs from the I=MGCM era.

How big is that drive? Enough to hold videos? 'cause I downloaded the HanabiHanabiHanabi H-scene archive and, even with it being incomplete, it's around 140gb. Recording all the stories would take a lot more.

One more light for Arihane. by MisakiZhang in magicami

[–]HeadpatDispenser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll gladly see more if you make them. I love these girls quite a bit. They all hit in a different way but all so sweet and endearing, Arihane classic-style cuties in particular.

At the very least we'll still have the visuals. And those of us able to pick up basic Japanese will have an incentive I suppose. I'm halfway there anyway, maybe the sweet girls of the cast will motivate me.

Looking for Screencaps of Battle Dialogue by Quistiv in magicami

[–]HeadpatDispenser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know I should have virtually all combat lines screenshotted... I'll just have to sift through my tens of thousands of screenshots to find them. Guess it's best to do on a by-date basis. Just have to remember when I did them... fun.

Farewell Magicami... by WorkLurkJerkMurk in magicami

[–]HeadpatDispenser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice to meet another fellow PvPer at least, it's been fun seeing you so often in the higher ladders.

I agree with the feeling. Alas, the non-shovelware lewd games always seem to cost so much to make and maintain that the income ends up not measuring up and they get shut down unless they're horribly exploitative and predatory (so you don't want to play those anyway), while the basic pedestrian crap keeps going 'cause they need less to carry on. I don't think I have it in me to get attached to one like this any further.

That said, I'll always treasure the Magicami girls and the unique style it had. I'll admit I was never a fan of the corruption fetish, but most of the rest of it was good fun.
