That's the problem I'm having. I start a program in xnp2 which is supposed to be playing music, but it doesn't appear as playing any music

I did it!!! Turns out all I had to was install this version: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xnp2kai-azo234/
It's glorious

>>5762
I will post more detailed instructions and files tomorrow for future reference. I expect all of you to play touhou and visual novels with me, no excuses!

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

You're forgetting a couple of details.
- Download Yamaha 2608's six sound samples, as, like FONT.ROM, this can't legally be included in Neko Project distributions. I found a link to them here https://mega.nz/#!ol00kSzI!zKU56E8GeFeCQ6-deANqJIjESxm5UElImN7kuIgvJF4 (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/walfasstationwagon/touhou-pc-98-english-patches-setup-guide-t90.html)
- Remember to set your monitor's refresh rate to 56.4 Hz (or some multiple, such as 112.8) as all PC-98 games run fixed at this framerate.

Yes, I realise the thread is three years old but I just couldn't let it sit.

pretty awesome anon, should've clicked sooner

wow this is surprisingly fun to explore, and surprisingly large too. reminds me of the game knytt which is another 2d platformer explorer game with a big world that is fun to explore

>>6199
That's cool

>>2773
oh maaaaaaaaan that game. what a blast from the past.

>>2758

this fucker single-handledy made zombies look scary and menacing back in the day instead of the massive cannon fodders they are today

Card games (and games with RNG in general) make me mad as RNG always seems to be against me. So frustating when a cannon-fodder grunt takes out several of your best units due to RNG.

End-bosses that have overpowered moves or read your inputs. * shudder *

First nintendies game I ever played and I played it constantly. I always looked away for this part though

Based on what little interactions I've seen, it appears to be a parody of the Mother series.

Making a reply to a 5 year old thread but whatever. I've played it and shit's great. Though rather than calling it Earthbound inspired I'd say it's more accurate to call it Mother 1 inspired and not just because of the graphical style. Like a lot of other RPGMaker games (though this was made in Wolf RPG, but whatever) the game itself is easy and isn't much different than the usual RPGM stuff. What really makes the games special is the batshit insane plot and characters as well as all the different enemies you fight. Nearly every enemy you fight in any given area will be completely unique from the other enemies you fight. If there is a recolor or something similar then it's usually for the sake of a joke. Like there is a running gag in the creator's games where in every game some guy named "John" gets killed off, usually as the first enemy you fight. You'll later fight a bunch of different recolors of him named stuff like "Jon" or "P2 John" or "Mecha John". Stuff like that. Every time I went into a new area I'd fight every enemy there just to see all the different enemies there are.

The first AN EARTH is the one most like Mother 1. It's about a silent girl named Doppel and her chatterbox best friend Pris fighting robot aliens trying to take over the Earth. They're later joined by Decker, a greedy cop who doesn't actually know what's going on and just wants to slack off from work and Eight, a two faced shit talking idol. And by fight I mean fight dirty in just about every sense of the phrase. Most battles basically consist of you ganging up on your enemies, throwing trash at them and sucker punching them all while flipping them off and yelling stuff that can't be said on TV.

AN EARTH 2 is when it starts to diverge more from the Mother series. Though it's just as batshit as the first and the characters fight just as dirty. That game is about a wiseass boy named Kipper and his chatterbox best friend Pris (she's similar but isn't the same Pris as in the first game). They realize that their sky is fake and go on a journey to find out what's going on when Kipper's favorite light novel character, a vampire girl named Vanilla, falls through a broken hole in the sky. It's not exactly a sequel to the first game, but there are plot important references to it that you'll miss if you haven't played 1 first.

The creator SUPAI03 also did three other games. His first game, Desperate Mansion, I haven't played but from the looks of it it seems like a comedy parody of RPGM horror games. I have played Heart Nightmare and Tenseint though.

Heart Nightmare completely changes the battle system for the better. It doesn't have EXP or random encounters. It just has boss battles where every boss is basically a puzzle where you have to figure out which of your character's skills to use and when. The first few bosses are pretty easy since those were just for figuring out what your characters do but the later ones can be tricky and took me a few tries to figure out what I had to do. The plot is about a ragtag group of people from different worlds (futuristic robotic world, horror world, kemono world, etc) teaming up to fight a group of interdimensional villains. The Mother inspirations are gone but it's just as crazy as the other games. I prefer AN EARTH 1 and 2, but I still liked this a bunch too.

Tenseint on the other hand I didn't really care for and don't really remember much of since it didn't make as much of a impression. Out of all of SUPAI03's games I consider it the weakest, at least out of the ones I played. The battle system is just like the simple RPGM battles that AN EARTH used. As for the story it's got two going on at the same time that connect to each other. One is about a girl that gets isekai'd to a bizarre school while the other is about a bounty hunter is a post-apocalyptic world.

I am playing the first game with Textractor (requires manually updating the Wolf Text Hooker) and Offline Sugoi Translator and it is a surprisingly smooth experience. One hook works both for dialogue and menus which is pretty handy.
The game is fun. Main character constantly gets new skills from examining overworld objects or by defeating enemies (like weaponizing the dog's barking, or the grief for poor John or by studying mirrors and learning how to reflect attacks). Decker has a hilariously overpowered and intended ability to shoot someone with a Glock without consuming the turn, so you can just spam it to kill an enemy and then use his free ability to refill energy to shoot someone again).

Segawa, the developer of END ROLL, has released a new game titled "Tower of Hanoi." It can be downloaded here: https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/24302
I tried to capture it with the wayback machine to have a mirror (repackaged with winrar to reduce file size): https://web.archive.org/web/20211201155402/https://litter.catbox.moe/8z0bll.rar

The dev experienced a full-on autistic meltdown and requested that this and her future games not be translated because, wait for it, she is butthurt because (according to her) English speaking fans use her game characters as profile pics and repost the art that she, as an artist, posted on the internet. I mean, imagine people liking your works, isn't that preposterous.

>Vgperson's commentary: "Segawa has requested that English translations of her games (TOWER of HANOI and onward) no longer be made. Though she understands it's ultimately a small minority, the frequent reposting of her art and the like by English users upsets her whenever she sees it, impeding her ability to create and forcing the difficult decision to forbid translations."

Is anyone planning to translate this game?

I know this is basically dead but if anyone returns to this project please i beg you work on “Rumors of Mr. kitchen knife”

>>6446
Yikes, that's nscripter. I'll see if I can find the tools for it again, but it gave me a lot of problems in the past.

>>6446
tell me what this is. now. its so fucking hard to find ANYTHING about the rest of segawas games in English

>>6490
nvm im stupid. i still wanna know about this cause it looks like a cute freeware vn. sorry for being dumb

Was it just for me that a bizarre Japanese doll appeared when I opened the game?

>>6097
Yeah, that's a random event. It can also happen at the ending of the game. Freaked me out.

i want a portuguese translation for shoujo kidan, my friends need to play this game

>>6483
Sorry. Although I took Portuguese in high school, I'm not proficient in it at all.
You're free to ask lol_rust if they don't mind a Portuguese translation. If they give you the OK, feel free to use the English version as a base.

Has anyone translated Shoujo Gidan updated version?

You should use those fancy new AI image generation sites to make your own surreal environments

I'll be honest I've seen the name get tossed around a bit through the years but always kind of wrote this game off as another minecraft/roblox/kid thing for whatever reason so I never cared, but it actually looks a little better than that.

>>6465

Well yeah, the screenshots and graphics can give a very wrong impression. It plays nothing like minecraft, if anything, it stands much closer to edgy flash titles from 2000's (Madness etc.).

I used to play this game, it's wonderful, and insanely underrated for the quality it is.

its a very cool game from the little I was able to play but the linux build kept crashing and gave me a myriad of issues that just made me throw in the towel. ;(
sad because the game mightve been really special otherwise. Maybe I'll give it another shot in the future.

I've become totally fascinated with iamqqqqqqq as an artist. They've produced a large library of music, art, and games over more than a decade while seemingly remaining a nobody with very little people talking about their work. The lack of discussion around their games in particular is interesting because they are all excellent and incredibly unique, and have been out for years.

I've taken a liking to their music, particularly what they've released as "the scum of tone"

In Classic Game is the part with the floating islands meant to let you fly over collision objects like a ghost? It was fascinating and a lot of fun, but I can't work out if it was intentional or a bug (I was running the game in WINE)

end of a run I finished last night, there's a whole lot of stuff I'm looking forward to trying out next run. especially interested in seeing if there are any consequences to using HERESY, which I used on PAWKY last run, at MONUMENT

>>6371
Bumping this question. Let me clarify: I'm looking for an out of bounds glitch/feature accessible from the pictured area ("Unparalleled"). "Floating islands area" doesn't seem like the best description when you're walking around it, but when flying around there a lot more of them are visible. One of those islands has a "HOW DID YOU GET HERE?" sign, which might imply the oob is intentional, though with the dev's love of the word INACCESSIBLE I wouldn't be at all surprised of there's all sorts of places you're not ever meant to see.

SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs

Tactical team shooter for the PS2

Champions of Norrath, an EverQuest spin-off. Really great ARPG in the style of Dark Alliance. Multiple classes with very different abilities, such as the Cleric who can summon an ice hammer to follow enemies around or the Shadowknight that spreads poison / disease. The story has 5 acts and takes you to a huge variety of locations (forest, underground lava area, tropical islands, underwater, frozen tundra, etc) and it has a lot of cool boss fights / villains.

Really nice to see somebody else liking the game ICO. I remember only playing the demo from a PS demo disc and I couldn't forget it, eventually played the actual game myself for the first time in 2020. not sure if I'm misremembering the demo but I vaguely recall being able to play two player and actually controlling Yorda.

>What are some of your favorite games from this era?
Dewprism (US: Threads of Fate): underrated PS1 gem, low-poly comfy game. Technically released in 1999 (JP) but wasn't out in the US until 2000.
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure: a Falcom action rpg with drills, powerups and outfits. Fun art style too

>>6426
i liked threads of fate but it was too easy, makes sense because it was developed as a children's game. the visuals were very, very nice though.

Drakengard is such a terrible game, but yet is one of my favorites, the atmosphere and music are just amazing.
