  1. If you don't mind me pimpin' our own stuff (hehe!), Mind giving Ramen no Oujisama a try?
  2. Hey everyone! BeerBrew here! I think it's about time to update the Prince of Ramen demo over at NewGrounds with the new v0.3.0 ALPHA build. Understandably, our rating is stuck at 3.46, which is what was given by NG user's judgement when we put out our game demo at v0.05. So we'll put the current version of the game and have it judged again, hopefully this time we can garner much better ratings given what we put into this in the last 6 months ;). If I may humbly ask our fans and supporters to drop by the new NG game link and give it a judgement score and updated review, when it's up, we'd be very happy! We'll post an update about this and the NewGrounds link later. We'll also be posting up about a new Android build as well, and we'll also be updating the current downloadables for our patrons as well.
  3. Hello everyone! I'm BeerBrew, one of the guys from PaperWaifu! I'd like to share our first game with you guys, it's called Ramen no Oujisama, or The Ramen Prince! It's a hentai game where a compelling story is equal to the hentai parts of the game. If you're into food porn, ramen, entrepreneurship, and dating, and a good story revolving these elements, this visual novel's for you! You can find more details and free versions of our games at our Patreon page over at: https://www.patreon.com/paperwaifu GAME UPDATES ============== 01-17-2016 -Fixed up online versions.

  4. Thanks! Hmm.. That seems to be the best way to go about it. Show more sexy stuff. Unless you got a ton of capital to tell the rest of the competition to screw their skin tactics lol
  5. Hmm noted! How much of the VN players do you think have this level of expectation already?
  6. Hmm.. Here's another question. What if you played a VN, you presumed to be Japanese-made. You liked it, and later found out it isn't Japanese-made, but a western one. Basically take everything the Japanese is good at - the graphics, the sounds, the overall treatment, but has a western direction, namely the underlying story. What would you feel about that kind of trojan horse? Would you say - "yah, I kinda like it"; or "meh"; or "eww, never!" ?
  7. I'm familiar with the feeling ;). Like how some of us prefer Japanese cars over Korean ones and will never touch the latter lol! But how much of the player base is like this? I have a feeling that there's a good chunk of the western player base that only entertain Japanese VNs and nothing else. I take it our game has more chance with casual players in the mobile space?
  8. I read a Japanese VN reader poll from rocketnews24 that a good number rated story as being 50% of what they're looking for in a VN, but this is the Japanese market we're talking about. Still vague considering there's so much niche of a subniche there, so we don't even know what "quality" story is to them, but ok... haha ok... The general vibe I'm getting in this forum, is that most readers here prefer Japanese-style VNs, period. Much like an audience that prefers JRPGs. Is this an accurate observation?
  9. @kaguya - Another valid observation: Even when guys read all these technical reviews about tech products and what not, at the end of the day, the moment before they hand over their credit cards, it's not about what their heads calculated, it reverts back to basic human emotions that drive the purchase.
  10. A logical observation! I suppose, you're a guy right? Have you tried this: You know those weird head massagers that look like steel wire fingers you hmm.. "rub" on your head and you feel all ecstatic, climaxing even? If you have a girl hmm.. go down on you, and have her rub you with that on your head, our brains cannot handle two sensations on both heads at once and will only register one of them. One part of your body will feel numb. Off tangent analogy, but I get what you're saying here. But do try this trick out... Haha!
  11. Hi guys, Sorry, been away for a couple of days. Programming and stuff. So, I'm back, and here's a fun question I have for you guys: If you were in our shoes, how do you think we should communicate to potential readers/players about something like our game, The Ramen Prince? A light discussion if you will, I'm preparing virtual tea and coffee... and I'm curious as to what western VNs readers feel about this. As you can see, the dilemma is many: the market is small, fragmented, and quite niche, and there are many experienced competitors from all fronts. and there's of course, limited budget. And then there are readers who already have strong preferences and taste. Some very strong already, and have a preference for very high quality materials such as art. We could've gone with just sex, but that would put us in the league of porn games, which we don't exactly want to peg ourselves in as we know we can do more. We could've also gone with just putting up something with a good story without any mature stuff in it, but that's a very difficult and maybe risky route in terms of investments. So we decided for this game, that we wanted both a good story, and good, proper mature content - both to be enjoyed. It's a game that has the sex revolving around the story and vice versa, think of a binary star spinning each other around. There's substance that will tell you it's not a porn game, and it's not exactly a game you grabbed for the sole purpose of getting off (although we aim to make this satisfying as well). Going by both routes however, has its own risks, such as exposing us to compete in both genres - not just the story, but the mature aspect of it, too. Granted we're still the early stages of game development, a number of these game elements will go through evolutions and upgrades if you will, such as the art aspect, and we'll probably follow a closer style to Japanese anime treatment when the opportunity arises. We could've also gone with the Sakura route - more ecchi titillation until you can't stand it, but that's a couple of notches ecchi/hentai than story. What do you think? Given the equal treatment to both the adult entertainment and story aspect of the game, is this a hindrance? Should we focus on telling players it's both, or focus on one or the other? Also take into consideration that it's a VN that's identifiable closer to the western audience due to the writing style. If you want to check it out before writing what's on your mind, just click on my sig below, that'll take you to our Patreon page for the latest version. PS: There's a big difference between the sexy scenes of the homeless and the ninja girl (ninja girl's 2nd scene onwards is newer) since we've been wracking our heads on improving this aspect of the game after feedback from our players these past few weeks. But if you guys can give me some feedback about these newer scenes, we'd love to hear them as we're still improving them. PS #2: If you're wondering what's up next, we're working on a new character route, one with a kink. And although this is a kink and you'd think of some kinky porn material, the subject was well researched before being applied to the character's story.
  12. Haha looks like you got your bases covered there! For me, I think it'll be whichever one attracts me first. A good story drains my powers away from head #2... So you like your H separated too? Something like an erotica novel perhaps? Duly noted! I like those kinds of stories too, especially the working professional, office lady kind of themes. But easier to just focus on a specialty, which is usually the visuals and the H stuff of the game? Haha, Bible Black... I like the witch blondie. It's an odd theme for me, but very well executed alright. @dark stuff - I'm... judging you too! lol! Just kidding ;). I'll take note of these titles for future references! Thanks! Boob Wars? ... Ok, I'm gonna look for that haha!
  13. Eroge.. Nukige.. So I looked these up... I've been making a nukige all this time!? What's in-between?
  14. The taste here is quite varied. But I can see at least that while a mix of a good story and H is good, control over how to enjoy the game is a desirable thing to cater to the mood of the player... Let's see if there's more who'll want to chime in.
  15. Ah! And how soon do you like your H scenes with these kinds of games?
  16. Well put! So if it's with a story, you want to have the ability to go through the story if you want it, and go through the H scenes any time if that's your thing at the moment? This observation's good timing as I'm going to program in a gallery section of sorts in our game (more like sexy time replay.) @Kaguya - D: ... I'm going to judge you now! J/k haha! Do you enjoy your scenes animated, or static images?
  17. Ahh.. Noted! Gotcha! So when you guys look for H stuff, you don't mind whether there's a decent story to go with the H, it should just be enough - even downright silly - to justify the existence of the suggestive theme of the H scenes?
  18. Ok guys! When you look for something... ecchi, sexy, that sort of thing. What do you prioritize? And if you prioritize one over the other, how much does it take over the other (more like, how much do you tolerate it overpowering the other aspects of the game, such as the story, music, and graphics)?
  19. I'd say there's a lot. The highlight is more on the moe-moe, boobies and the curves and not on the visual novel aspect of it. And when it periodically goes on sale, the numbers still go up! But kudos to them for figuring out their own formula for the market
  20. That's.. wow.. Ok guys, I promise you I'll give you better hentai action and tear-jerkers than this lol! These guys have some kind of lean mean production goin on?
  21. I remember these back in the day! So they're still alive huh?
  22. "Fresh" Konnyaku noodle. It's got a slight fishy smell. Hmm.. I have mixed feelings about it honestly. It doesn't taste like anything at all. I'm not sure if this is the kind of gelatin texture I like either... Mixed in soba sauce/base and wasabi for kicks.
  23. Hmm.. Good point. I've no frickin' idea. I just liked the sound of it!
  24. If you have second hand or refurbished parts available to you, that can probably save you some dough? If you've got a broken GPU, it's time a good time to upgrade to a GTX 1060/1070/1080. If there's really no power going to the board, you can try looking for popped or about-to-pop capacitors to see if it's your mobo. You can also try stripping to barebones (mobo, built-in IGP or GPU, and RAM) and start diagnosing from there. But you'll need a small piezo buzzer speaker connected to your board to hear the beeps?
