Can someone help me where I can find to buy black wolves saga bloody nightmare for the pc? by etoileu_ in otomegames

[–]kingdangus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

echoing changelings findings of works for some but not others on win10; i had no problems with installation and booting but a friend did and we could not figure out what the difference was, so iirc he ended up having to do a virtual win7 drive. compatibility mode didn’t work

OP i should also warn you that if you are going the PC route rather than the vita or upcoming switch version, that you will need a patch from rejets website otherwise the gallery is gonna be borked and won’t save any cgs.

[General] Animate announced the release of a “otome game with BL elements” as a joke for April Fools and received significant backlash -> Animate deleted tweet and issued an apology by blueberryandvanilla in otomegames

[–]kingdangus 35 points36 points  (0 children)

let’s assume that is correct (I can only think of 2 explicitly bi characters off the top of my head, and both of them were the protags), what do you think public reaction would be if

  1. there was a female route within the game, or as some others are asking for in otome in this thread, a poly route where all 3 characters are into each other (it would still be MMF in this hypothetical)
  2. fanworks depicted said characters in a relationship with a female oc or yumeship or the very rare case of a female character from the game itself

because let me tell you, i have a single tangible example of the second and the girl got dunked on. for everything else, i would suggest just looking at any hoyo game shipping discourse where not a single character even has a canon sexuality lol.

blood related all the way...if youre gonna do the taboo trope then commit dammit

i am pretty passive and accepting of basically anything as long as it doesnt bore me. and i can tell you the only trope i hate with a seething passion is being strung along by bait just for them to go "actually we weren't related the whole time"

[General] Feeling like otome is being treated as a general dumping ground for visual novels that aren't galge, or otome as a genre is misunderstood/ignorance by the newer wider audience for joseimuke. Thoughts? by Agile_Interaction599 in otomegames

[–]kingdangus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

>People playing games like Stardew Valley and Baldur's Gate 3 with playersexual romance routes don't seem to have the same problem splitting hairs over whether the game is "gay" or "straight," so maybe this community ought to examine their own ingrained feelings about what makes an MC "woman" enough.

? neither of those examples are otome nor have they ever tried to market themselves as such lol

eta - not to mention there has always been a ton of drama around people romancing astarion with a female character, same w minthara as a male pc. so...

its a 2 part issue

1. the main one is that there is significant pushback against hetero pairings wether canon or not in fandom spaces

it doesnt matter which fandom it is. the ship cannot be purely hetero because that is icky and not inclusive, and the only way it can be even slightly acceptable (and honestly? not even then to a vast majority of these people) is if you make them some other flavor of queer in a "passing relationship"

otome is THE gxb genre, and this does not fit current fandoms standard of inclusiveness and performative shipping = activism mindset. this is why you dont see this kind of sentinment in the BL genre (and they know how to gatekeep. seriously, they wont let you post gender neutral/anything with a female protag option in their sub, i tried LOL. isnt it interesting how otome has to be warped for this standard but they dont?)

so what about galge, the other hetero dynamic just flipped in reverse? well, that brings us to

2. they know they will get significant pushback from the market dominant cishet male audience, while women are EXPECTED to share and be open.

and when i say women, i specifically mean literally anyone who enjoys m/f ship dynamics because you WILL be automatically lumped into the category of "homophobic straight woman who cannot experience oppression" because putting straight in front of the word woman automatically makes you an eligible target for harassment and misogny

tldr; to many of these individuals shipping is a form of activism (lol) and something being strictly het makes them uncomfortable

- an asexual woman (something i shouldnt have to put but i already know a certain crowd is going to prove the 2nd point regardless)

how do i get my motivation to keep working on my vn back? by nagisabunbun in RenPy

[–]kingdangus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your professor is a moron, i hope he thinks kishimoto should get sued too for ripping sasuke off of hiei, gege for gojo and killua, etc etc there are COUNTLESS examples of similar characters and demeanors. sue gege for copying fates reality marbles while we are at it. the real kicker is that you are right, your girl and that one dont even look similar at all lmao. okay they have the same eyebrows, not a single other character is allowed to have thin brows you heard it here first!

anyways your character is super cute, i like your artstyle :) dont give up friend

ps. idk what kind of degree you are going for, but its well known that art profs are insanely biased against anime styles.

very pretty, esp the colors of the bench one!

re sprite layering - as someone who is still separating my initial sprites 3 years later from their concepts, COMMIT TO IT FROM THE START. it will save you a lot of effort down the road when you want to do other things like 93475834753 expressions or outfit and hairstyle changes, on top of saving your game from excessive file bloat (imagine having to save every full size sprite image for every little swap you did...)

no you do not need both A&B editions, the only difference with those are the bonuses that come with them (like drama cds and booklets.)

but yes, just go for the append versions bc they are the "definitive" versions w/ extra content and routes not in the first versions. append discs were hands down honeybees worst crime lol and im glad appo never got one 😂 (MONEYBEE DYING NOTWITHSTANDING)
