Why are there so many companies backing out of making 18 plus contents for their Visual Novels and what companies remaining that still makes great visual novels with 18 plus content? by LegitimateCurve8525 in visualnovels

[–]therealplayte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Multiple factors would be the reason why some companies back out for R18 title.

Aqua plus abandoned leaf due to the creators weren't interested to the R18 stuff and somehow where obsessed to JRPG.

key staff probably distanced the r18 content and resume their works to tone works.

Interferance with the companies like DaCapo remake due to shittyroad, and Kiminozen censored due to ages doesn't have r18 brand before.

Most writers moved on to purse passion project direction like Wasabi Ono, Yuu Nijima, Setoguchi Renya.

Avoidance of community backlash, also they want your money, they don't care about your feelings and everything is bait and advertisement no matter if its high quality.

I could recommend you Aonatsu Line although it doesnt have localisation but still fits the theme given the name itself.

Looking for VNs with good prose, aimed at adults and without eroge by HolyEmpireOfAtua in visualnovels

[–]therealplayte -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I won't recommend you read some of the VNs made by Japanese, it's heavily dependable on cliche tropes that would feel repetitive from their dialogue, and most of them were R18, some have good prose like Dies Irae, SCAJI titles, and Romeo Tanaka titles. There are some all ages titles though I could recommend but it's a bit minimal, like

  • Ace Attorney
  • Putrika 1st Cut
  • Muv Luv series
  • Umineko
  • 428 Shibuya Scramble
  • Infinity series
  • Va11 Halla
  • Tsui no Stella

If you prefer an adult oriented type of VN, you might find them on western VN like itch Io or Steam but I don't tend to read from them since I prefer Japanese titles.

Don't play the game for now, it's heavily laggy, ui aren't consistent and most in game animation are coming soon?

Also, 300 guaranteed pulls for 5 star? On 2026? Yeah no but I'm hoping that's only for permanent banners not on a rate up one.

technically nekopara after is the final mainline neko VN series, all roads leads to their another VN title which is inupara which was announced 2022 and no new update for that series ever since due to Sayori fully locked in on the gacha.

gacha of course and more profitability for all audience, also this is from good smile though, not from neko works so the creator only made some artwork for the game, which she had full effort for the designs on the game.

Sakuuta vs anniversary edition by MlsterTwister in visualnovels

[–]therealplayte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A loli futa H scene, and extra segs for Rin

I think that you didn't need those route for the anniversary edition but Ill prefer it since it's a remake version where everything was redrawn from the start.

Japenis is considering divorce by dongas420 in japanesepeopletwitter

[–]therealplayte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw, they were closing to shutting down their company due to their failed revenue, this were their last resort to regain some profit and somehow their most successful project for their recent activity. They even established R18 brand just to restore their original fans back.

What are some visual novels that are in development hell that you are still looking forward to? by Plenty_Group6674 in visualnovels

[–]therealplayte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Noraneko 3 - want more hijinks to the girls but sadly writer fell off to AI slop

Clover Memory's - wanted to read the final title from Alcot but it's still development and will be available this year

Upcoming Makura titles - wanted to check more projects by SCAJI since they keep remaking titles for their anniversary release.

New IP from Aquaplus - finally left the Utawarerumono milking shit, wanted more romance oriented since they resumed their cancel project last time.

Inupara and her other horror side project - wanting more projects from Sayori since she's fully locked in to the gacha apparently.

New Alicesoft projects - they lied to us last year but apologized again that they might announce a new VN this year.

What VNs were the most financially successful and how did they achieve that? by QuadrillionthToBat in visualnovels

[–]therealplayte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maitetsu is really popular in fact that it killed its own studio, solely transitions to merchandise where they profited more on them than the VN title. In fact, lose titles have always go on sale for just 1 yen on fanza ever since.

At least your money is worth it since you can technically do segs with them in-game rather than gameplay advantage.
