Outpost Omega J

Just an idea to slightly cut down on spam bots, lock the "Eroge News" forum section so that only littleshogun can start new threads, though leave us the ability to reply to threads once created. In the normal course of things, littleshogun is the only person who has reason to start new threads there on any sort of regular basis.

For the benefit of anyone who's curious, I THINK the picture at the top of the page comes form the VN "Sousaku Kanojo no Ren'ai Koushiki".

vndb.org link: https://vndb.org/v31136

So this is just something I've been curious about. I start the download process on a game I acquired through either Steam or Epic Games. Using Epic Games for this particular example, the download status shows three progress bars, "Download", "Read", and "Write". The "Write" speed is consistently approximately 17 faster than the "Download" speed. Just where is all that data its writing coming from? I don't care how good data compression is, there is no way they are squeezing it down THAT tight.

Just a general FYI: Since you added the most recent round of uploads, or maybe just before, I'm not sure on the fine point of that one, the thumbnail preview images you post in the "Screenshots" tab on each game page are not clearing muster on my anti-virus. It claims they are phishing URLs. The images don't load; in their place, I get file names such as "Lilim-wants-to-Lv-up-10a018eb2587bebf4.th.jpg" which are still clickable links that I presume will take you to full size picture like they used to. (I'm not actually clicking on them until I get conformation from you that no one has manged to hack your site and do something you weren't aware of).

Just for the record, I'm not ignoring you. I just don't recognize the VN in question based on that description. I was staying quiet in the hope somebody else would be able to help.

This is the right place to ask such questions. Unfortunately, there aren't too many people who actively participate in the forum.

BGI.exe is the file I use to start it.

This is a shot in the dark, but full screen mode for this particular title tends to not work well on modern PCs as is. I had to do the following:

-Right click on BGI.exe and open the properties window.

-Under the Compatibility Tab, check the box for "Disable fullscreen optimizations"

I don't know if that will actually fix your problems, but it's the only advice I have to offer.

@littleshogun

Minor mistake in your list. Up in the list itself, you didn't mark "Stay -Fragments of Memories-" as completed.

On a different note: I can't find a vndb.org entry for "Kiminozo". At least not one I can positively ID as the same title you've taken the picture from.

Update: I just got done re-downloading all four parts (I only meant to re-download part 3, but I got careless and deleted the wrong folder) and tried running the extraction again. This time, everything went normally. Full extraction in under a minute. I don't know what happened the first time.

@Ivan

Just a general FYI. I don't know enough of the technical end of .rar files to know if this is still normal if atypical behavior or if something is actually not working as intended. I went to extract the .rar files and the process started fine, but at about the 70% mark, it slowed down dramatically to about one file every three seconds. As far as I can tell, all the files that have been slow to extract are .rpgmvo files. The process is still ongoing as I type this, so I don't know if the problem is specific to that file type and the speed will pick back up when it gets to a different file type, or if something is more fundamentally wrong. Or the files in question are just the gnarly technically wise, and this is actually normal.

PS: As far as I can tell, it's also only occurring during the part 3 file.

*Bump* back above the spam bot.

Still "still hoping somebody has an answer to this question."

A thank you to forum user Aran for his input in the shoutbox a while ago, but he didn't actually KNOW the answer.

Still hoping somebody has an answer to this question.

Not here. 98% English versions only here. Onegai Naisho ni Shite ne SS part 2 is only Japanese.

Oh yes, we also have Aoi Tori is now available on Steam (The link to the Steam store), so if you somehow prefer to buy the game from Steam then feel free to do so.

 

PS - Seeing next week we have AX, I'll be probably late for the next VNTS.

Can't speak for others, but I appreciate keeping my purchase consolidated through a single interface. If it wasn't available on steam, then I would likely have bought it through a different vendor, but since it's on steam and I can use the patch, no need to go creating, and therefore managing, ANOTHER account and password.

I'm guessing "AX" in a common shorthand for some sort of convention, but I don't follow the social side of things all that much. What does "AX" stand for?

I'm getting slightly conflicting information about the plot of the VN Saint Dorei Gakuen. Some sources I've found seem to indicate that this is your classic corrupt school with a perverted teacher who kidnaps unwilling female students. If that is the case, hard pass on this title for me. Other sources seem to suggest that female students enrolled in this school knowingly and willingly, expecting to be trained into slaves, whether eagerly or reluctantly is another question. If this is the case, this title is just far enough from the norm that I might actually take a second look at it.

Does anybody know which is actually the truth of the matter?

FYI: Just for future reference, notice the "*" around the title Miagete Goran, Yozora no Hoshi o: Interstellar Focus in the list above.

*Miagete Goran, Yozora no Hoshi o: Interstellar Focus* - Released

That's how you can tell which title the picture came from.

It should be Haru from the VN Karenai Sekai to Owaru Hana.

FYI: For future reference, note that littleshogun, the person who posts and maintains these translation status lists, surrounded that title in the list with asterisks(*). That's how you can tell what VN the picture comes from. I just checked the list of characters on vndb.org against the picture to ID the character.

...waiting for the right time to announce the release date...

So we're waiting on the release date for the release date? 🙄

As I don't know what that is, I can't say one way or the other. Given that no one else has responded, I'm assuming the answer is no.

If you haven't already, try checkout the Visual Novel Database (vndb.org). It is a publicly maintained wiki cataloguing most Visual Novels in existence. Try using the in-site search bar, and failing that try a google search to the effect of "vndb.org <KEY WORDS>".

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Is this the game in question?

https://vndb.org/v21269

If so, this guide came from the Steam Community website (subset of the Steam video game online store)

Paradise: ALL Endings Guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3259915147

Quality assurance missed this one (presumably by the original Japanese production staff, as it graphic related, not language/translation related). So does anybody else notice the screw up in this picture?

For those who can't figure it out, the error is detailed in the spoiler box below.

A game from 34 years ago suddenly got a translation?

Who is to say it was sudden? Maybe it took them 34 years to translate it.

Thank you.

@littleshogun

Between all your sources of information, have you heard if NekoNyan is still trying to get a steam release for Aoi Tori, or have they given up and abandoned the effort (or you just flat out don't know yourself)?

Do you know if Nekonyan is still working on getting a steam release for Aoi Tori, or have they abandoned the effort?
