Pleased that !otomegames@ani.social gained what looks like another active participant :)

Lots of downvotes on a recent post on !otomegames@ani.social that regular commenters engaged with happily, so I'm wondering if it's just people seeing it on local and disliking it as typical mainstream social media fodder, or if it's subscribers who don't comment not liking it, or both. Remember all those "which pill would you take" and then there's a couple different-color pills giving you different superpowers? It was something like that, but on-topic for otome games. Kind of bewildered by that.

Have looked at other Fedi instances including Mbin for backups, didn't find one that was just centered on games. Guess it'll probably be lemmy.zip.

Just learned about this series thanks to this post. Looked it up and slapped on my to-read list, let's see if I ever get to it.

Oh wow, this was good. Glad it came across my feed. Cute illustrations too.

Hey I remember you!

Yet another reminder to me to check back up on this series. Have been looking for fresh villainess content to consume.

I found it because another fandom I was in used its characters to do an animation of Kero ⑨ Destiny, and so of course the original Kero ⑨ Destiny animation was recommended. I found a lot of other Touhou animations through that, got curious what all these characters were from, and found it. Took me awhile to actually play the games instead of just being in the fandom and knowing the fandom personalities and the like.

A lot of communities I participate in are thankfully drama-free but it is hard for me to forget there are mods because the person providing a lot of the content usually has a little M for Moderator next to their name ;-; I'm glad yours has enough participants that I assume that does not happen

I have noticed that the otome creators who are on the Fediverse are on Mastodon. I'm not going to give up on !otomegames@ani.social, I prefer threaded discussion to microblogging, especially because threaded discussion allows more characters per post. But I figure if I want to help grow otome on Fedi and show there are interested gamers here, maybe attract some otome players to post here instead of r/otomegames, maybe I should go where there are people. (And try to get them to post on !otomegames@ani.social!) I love r/otomegames, nice bunch of people, no hate, it is just… well… on Reddit. I came to Fedi to get off of Reddit. I applied on https://mstdn.games and am waiting for approval.

Still very grateful for the one person who is not me who makes posts on !otomegames@ani.social, they have their own communities that are pretty cool too! Check out theirs at !renpy@discuss.tchncs.de

Game released on 9/12, so I am a bit late to this post! The sale applies to both Switch and Steam, with both ending on 9/26. The Nintendo eShop also provides a sale end time: 02:59 a.m. EDT.

Steam Nintendo eShop (US) Nintendo eShop (United Kingdom)

According to the otomekitten review, the localization was done well, which I am relieved about. I think when I originally posted about this game on the kbin.run otome community (the community that came before this one and went down when the instance kbin.run went down), I noticed a mistake on the official website that made me worry about localization, so I'm happy to hear it was well done. But people might want to be warned about this:

Unlike your usual otome visual novel, this game does not branch from a common route to individual love interest routes. Instead, the game is very linear and follows only one story path. This means all the dates happen within the main storyline. So, if you want to experience it as if you’re playing one specific route at a time, you’ll need to carefully choose the options that lead to certain date scenarios with the guy you prefer. Otherwise, the heroine will jump from one love interest to another in each chapter.

This happens because this is a straight port of a mobile game, where certain scenarios were paywalled, which is likely how the guys were separated out—just pay for the ones you want to see. This game removed the paywalls (and thank goodness, paywalls in a game you already paid for would feel bad) but judging by the review it did not restructure requirements to see certain scenes. Not sure if this will come off as her falling in love with all the guys people, or if it will feel like it was intended to be one at a time and that some of the scenes you see were not intended to be shown to you at that time. The otomekitten review says it feels like she's three-timing. If that's your thing in fiction, more power to you, but I figured I'd toss a warning 1) for those who do not want it and 2) I feel people who would be into legit loving multiple people and people who would be into a more deceptive three-timing thing would want it to feel like the story actually intends that to be happening, and not like an unintentional byproduct of just removing paywalls form a mobile game. I have a feeling it will feel like that unintentional byproduct, though of course I could be wrong.

If the artist originally uploaded this to misskey… glad to see more creators of content on the Fediverse. Especially one whose artstyle I like a lot!

Making this post a day late, bot is broken and I was very busy yesterday.

Related: what platform would you like to play otome on, even if very little/no otome is currently offered for it?

I may repost this at a later date when we have more people and engagement: I like to discuss otome with people!

This Twitter post announces the sequel, and this one confirms the same person who did "character design and original art" (according to what Google Translate spits out) will also be doing it for the sequel, and that a stage play adaptation of 9 R.I.P. is coming out.

(Twitter will not translate the posts for me, so I popped the text content into Google Translate instead.)

Thank you, especially for posting sometimes so that it is not just me screaming into the void!

[-] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

To be honest I forget, but it was back when I was on kbin.run and within the past 2 weeks. I have tried a few other instances and it does not work from them. Thank you for your advice, I will definitely be putting it to use!

[-] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No problem!

I am not sure what to do about certain other communities I followed. !automation_games@feddit.de seems to still be active from the last time I could access kbin.run, even though feddit.de is gone and some instances cannot see the community at all (probably because feddit.de is dead. I am guessing kbin.run could probably see it because an account—probably mine—was subscribed before feddit.de died), and its mod is active. I messaged them about moving at least a week ago, no reply (will be resending because that message was sent with my now-inaccessible kbin.run account). Not sure if it would be bad etiquette to just start my own somewhere not-dead.

Not a Musk fan but your username is great!
