'Just Sound Plus Series'

[MISC] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE, PARTIAL] [1989]

While JAST was better known for its bishōjo visual novels, they did dabble in some practical computer hardware with their range of speech synthesizers! Though it may have been to help JAST sell more bishōjo visual novels.

First look at character concept art for "Tenshi-tachi no Gogo IV -Yuuko-" (FM-TOWNS, PC-98, X68000) [NSFW 18+] from the book "JAST Bishoujo Wonderland".

I finished Paradise (for a second time, with understanding this time!!)

So heres a celebratory art!! Thoughts below under the cut! And a bonus art meme :3

I'll try to stay as far away from spoilers as possible.

Pil/slash is known for their disturbing premise and insane characters. And I think paradise does it pretty well. But im kinda dissapointed at how they reveal and resolve things.

The buildups are very good imo. I feel the tension, in the characters attempting to work together and stay cooperative but falling apart. Problem is when it reaches ending of a route and is wrapping things, it starts EXPOSITION(TM) and tell-dont-show-ing

This is especially visible in the final route. That route is supposed to be the golden route that tells everything behind the island, but everything during the reveal feels so casual? Like everyone dgaf about the heavy things happening 😭😭

I think "the best written route" is Mitsugi but only because his route has the least twist? What you see is what you get in that route. Classic enemies to lovers. Mitsugi is the only well adjusted human being in that group of characters.

However, the bad ends are verrrryyyy good and intense! My fav bad end is the yandere azuma route hehehe, i mean who doesnt love yandere netoru :'3

Despite my complaints, the characters are lovable enough that i would draw this fanart and make memes to myself about them :) <3

So heres the bonus art: netoru's character meeting each other xD!!

thinking about dead end aegis and my precious traumatized af fully adult magical girls. I would give a toe if someone would translate that fandisc for me. I would pay them $40 even if it was worth $20. I want it. I want it.

I know it was a dark dead dove do not eat ass crazy eroge that makes me look crazier than my enjoyment of saya no uta does but I can’t stop thinking about it!!! I would read it again if I had the strength but god damn it’s a tough game to sit through even if you know there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

‘Slow Damage’ Route Guide and Mechanics Explanation

Slow Damage’s choice selection mechanics can be complicated at first, even with the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Like studying mat

We've just updated our route guide (from here) to include the official JAST BLUE localisation terms!

Original Japanese direct translation of "心理" to "Psychology" has been kept alongside the localised term of "Interrogation" for clarity, and the Japanese text route guide is preserved in a separate expansion tab from the English guide; both are still on the same post for people's convenience.

Special shout out to @barudo for doing a lot of the work here!
