  1. If you wouldn't mind, please explain this to me like I'm an idiot. After a couple hours of searches I have found a bunch of source code for things related to the principle of unzlibing things without finding a program that actually does it, and everything related to XOR compression has been related to cracking passwords rather than simply unxoring the file. Something like: 1.rename file to original.xxx 2.Download program 1 3.Use program 1 to unxor/unzlib 4.Download program 2 5.Use program 2 to unxor/zlib would be most helpful, and get this project started.
  2. Since most people have never heard of Muv-Luv Substance, it is a trilogy of doujin games released in 2005 and 2006. https://vndb.org/v32467 They can still be downloaded for free from the official website. https://tnonizyou.ojaru.jp/game/maburabu-gamehontaipage.html I've had this in the back of my mind as something to rebuild from the ground up as a learning experience for a little while. 4K-ize the CG with Gigapixel-chan, present all 3 as a singular unified title, translate as I build it so it supports English and Japanese, stuff like that. Make it the best it can be. Maybe T no Nijou-senpai will even be amused that someone on the other side of the world cares about his silly little doujin games 20 years later. The problem is that the games were built in ADVRUN. For some reason it was popular with Japanese doujin developers for a couple years before promptly disappearing forever. If I'm going to be nice about it...ADVRUN pukes buffalo shizz up my fucking asshole. I have had no luck whatsoever making heads or tails on extracting the script/images/music from the archive format this engine uses. I've been through documentation in the SDK and it didn't really help. I'd like to think doing something this simple is in the documentation somewhere and I just missed it. It's free and the last version of the engine is still online. https://buin2gou.com/advrun/ I've asked in a couple places and the responses I got boil down to "those games suck lol don't bother lmao" so I'm hoping for something a little more productive. Anything that gets me moving in the right direction is appreciated.
  3. If they're working on it now it will definitely be Latest Edition, which is what VNDB says as well. Given Age's development cycle for their AAA titles the Japanese release of Kiminozo Reboot is still a bare minimum of a year away, probably 2-3 considering how massive Latest Edition was. That doesn't account for the 2 other fan disks of canon material that would probably be included as part of Reboot, plus anything new that ends up getting added. If it gets the same kind of treatment Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu did when it was remade a decade ago Reboot will be over 100 hours. Over time Kiminozo got this reputation for being this all-time amazingly great game, but it really isn't. I understand how it got that reputation; it did a lot of things that simply weren't done in 2001 and it put Age on the map as a major player. Unfortunately, when you jump into it 20 years later large portions of the game simply aren't fun. There are multiple 10+ hour stretches where nothing pleasant happens. We're talking about lows far lower than the lowest low of the anime. I went into more detail in a post a few years ago when I went through the whole game. Some of the things that are not good are more commonly known now, but if you've been waiting for years (or literally decades now that it's 20 years old) this isn't Age's first Muv-Luv Alternative-level achievement in the genre. It's like Muv-Luv Extra in the sense that there are some enjoyable parts, however the percentage of Extra that is fun is far greater than that percentage of Kiminozo. If you've seen the anime you've seen at least 80% of what is enjoyable over the 70+ hour experience. Add a save file for access to the H scenes and it might be around 90% of what is good. OTOH there is some good material that isn't in the TV series or OVAs. Much like Extra it's a lot better the second time once you know what to skip. TLDR temper expectations for the best experience. As sanahtlig pointed out there is no reason to give the benefit of the doubt given the Muv-Luv releases thus far. With the amount of time it took for Muv-Luv Alternative to be released after Extra was completed, the size of its script and how much larger a new Kiminozo can reasonably be expected to be 2025 might be a conservative estimate for an English release of Reboot. I suppose it's possible that Latest will be released before the end of 2022 if they've already put all of their efforts into it, but they're welcome to shove my (well-earned) cynicism up my ass if they can. Personally I thought they'd go for the low-hanging fruit of Kimi ga Nozomu Muv-Luv to get people hyped for Kiminozo, and I suppose they still could. Supposedly it's about 5 hours, but I can't confirm as I have yet to find a way to buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy (it's an Age fan club exclusive requiring residence in Japan to join, unless you happened to get one of the 110 or so copies of the Silver Edition or better Age Archives 20th Boxes which required residence in Japan to buy before they sold out in about 10 seconds).
  4. This was posted on another site, but I thought I'd put it up here should different people see it. Project: Restoring the H-scenes to Muv-Luv Photonmelodies and Photonflowers because the company releasing them in English is made up of a bunch of pussyass feminized tiddyphobic soyboy assholes that think adults buying adult games with hot chicks shouldn't have sexual interest in said hot chicks. Developer: Age Looking for: Someone (or group of people) that can: -Extract the removed scenes from the original Japanese games -Provide them to me in some format for WYSIWG editing (if I knew how to extract, decrypt, etc. all of that crap I wouldn't be posting this). Big bonus points if there is a way for me to play voice lines corresponding to each line on the exported script. I process Japanese audio much faster than written Japanese and sometimes there is nuance in the voices lost in text (removed scenes contain more than just fucking). -Make a patch that restores the translated H-scenes to Photonflowers and Photonmelodies where they are supposed to be in the story. Employment Type: Unpaid, but I will act as an IRL reference and provide a letter of recommendation upon completion of the project if you like. Work commitment: Whenever you have time, as this is a by fans for fans project. Preferred method of contact: You can PM me here, or my email address is the same username at yandex.com. If a group of people end up working on it we'll set up a group chat on Discord. Additional comments: Meiya best girl, but Yuuko-sensei is pretty great too.
  5. I started playing Koihime Musou again on my new computer and now that I'm running everything in 4K Koihime Musou has become a blurry and jaggie mess. I've seen a big difference in games like Persona 3 Portable that have better texture mods and it sounds like a lot of tedious work. I'm willing to do that, just need a little help getting started. Since I already made a lossless audio mod for Koihime Musou awhile ago I might as well go all the way with making it as good as it can be, right? -Is there a better option than Waifu2x for 2D sprites? I don't have the Photoshop skills to manually touch them up. -Is there a program that will process all of the PNGs simultaneously, instead of manually uploading them one at a time to Waifu2x site? -I was able to extract everything with exwlcs and get PNGs. After the uprezing is done, how do I repack it with the new PNGs? Unless /? left out some important information it doesn't look like exwlcs does that. Any help is appreciated. I know just enough to know I don't know what I'm doing.
  6. Ikou, Mamahaha! Beta test 1.
  7. My fake waifu speaks the truth.
  8. No doubt. Your conversation sucks several times over. Just how many times over does it suck? This many.
