Visual Novel Monthly Recap - January 2022 News (ft. Hello Lady + Cyanotype)

Recommended Posts

I've been following the whole "controversy" on Reddit and I honestly don't see the problem. Other companies have "censored" their games to release on Steam - and I use quotation marks because many have pointed out that Cyanotype's sex scenes were NOT written by the author of the game and were taken out because the company AND said author decided to. And instead of just removing them and done, they actually wrote more content, drew new CGs and added a whole chunck of new content. The debate around the age/clothing of one of the characters is another that I don't follow - why do people care so much about having a heroine that is a child having sex with a teacher to the point of prefering to have that instead of a more mature student with THE EXACT SAME PLOT? I mean, it's literally the same thing but with way less controversy. And, again, it was done by the author who wrote the game and the company who developed it, which pretty much denies the whole "the author's original intention" that people seemed to be using a lot to attack the game and Laplacian.

The only "controversy" in this situation was that twitter account mocking those who were complaining - that I understand why it drove some people mad.

It's funny because before the whole fuss surrounding the VN I didn't even know it was a thing. Now, I'm pretty interested in buying and playing it.

Same. Actually I was interested in it even before the whole "controversy" - on the contrary, I was quite happy that original developer is releasing non-porn version for PC (and that said version also includes Japanese text).

And here's the link to the game's page, where the writer talks about all those changes:

Now, if someone would be so kind to port Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai - Converted Edition to PC I'd be really happy, since so far it isn't playable in emulators... ;)

(It kind of runs on Vita3k, but without sound and it's rather glitchy)

Like I say beforehand January 2022 here is yet another stacked month, especially when we have three companies (Shiravune, JAST, and Nekonyan) released interesting VNs. That said, Nekogami release is sort of interesting though if only it mean that we can see on how Sekai will probably release Amatsutsui on GOG later (It's still quite a hassle though seeing that apparently they need to deal with Purple Software for the plan change). The less we talk about Aojashin and Laplacian's third-rate communication skill, the better (I understand though if some still want to play it despite the censorship, and perhaps the new contents can make up the censorship like Dies Irae). That said, I'm waiting for 18+ patch later on even though it might took years to complete or even if the one who make it give up. If anything else, at least we'll have Evenicle 2 released at 23rd later with the previously censored sex scene (The scene that Alicesoft was removed for nothing because Valve reject Evenicle 2) available.

As for the interesting releases that I talked about, we have JAST with Dead End Aegis in which it's Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction VN that depict the setting that use the magical girl as weapon and sex object in which the latter is because the power of the magical girl increased the more the girl got aroused (Although it lead the magical girl to keep raped repeatedly and sometimes they're going through disturbing sex). Shiravune did release both of Mashimaro and Kamiyaba in which both are charage, and both heroines has good design on different aspect. Last but not least there's Hello Lady that was managed to released by Nekonyan after three years of waiting, and let's just say that the VN was offer something more than the sex scenes with mosaic (That Nekonyan was asked to keep the mosaic on). Oh yes Nekonyan did release the best version of Hello Lady in that it combined the FD and extra contents from PSV version, although whether the additional contents is the good addition or not is up to each of their own.

Well that's all for what I can comment in regard of January 2022 VN news. 

PS - Forgot to mention that Trinoline Genesis was released, although it's less interesting to me compared to the releases that I mentioned above even though it's graphic is better compared to those four interesting releases (Dead Aegis, Hello Lady, Kamiyaba, and Mashimaro).

You dont have to understand anything. Just deal with people having other opinions. I'm sure you have lots of "shit" opinions people would start a rambling post over too.
