Love is Over

Anyone else miss the Boueibu game?

hey uh i dont wanna bother you and i feel like im really late but do you still have the link to the game??

You can find it in the navigation of this blog if you’re looking at it on PC. It’s the link that says “Download from Drive.” It won’t work on mobile, so there’s no use trying to download it on a mobile device, only PC.

Omg are you real you beautiful person

hello, i'm really sorry to bother you but i really appreciate your efforts in preserving the game!!!! i'm sorry if this sounds stupid but how do you save and load? thank you ever so much!!!!

Hiya! The game autosaves only. It saves after a certain number of messages, every time you make a choice and every time you quit the game (which I think includes closing it out with the X button as well as choosing the “Quit” option from the menu). When you choose “Resume Game” from the main menu, it lets you pick up from the last autosave.

If you were looking to have multiple saves or reload so you could try out different choices, I’m afraid you’re out of luck as I didn’t enable that. The original app didn’t either (and IMO you don’t really need it).

Also, in case it’s relevant, your progress for each of the main novel routes is saved separately, so you can play through a couple chapters of the EnAtsu route, then switch over to the IoRyuu route, then go back to the EnAtsu route and pick up where you left off. I don’t think that’s really what you’re asking about, but just in case it is, that’s how it works.

Thank you for remaking the game! I never got to play it and I'm a huge Binan Koukou stan, so this is great. But, it might be just me, but I downloaded the windows version, and I don't think the facial expressions are changing? I could be wrong though, IDK. It's not that big of a deal but it's a nice aesthetic thing for me.

I’ve just checked the PC version, and the expressions are changing just fine for me. You may have been looking at a scene where the expressions don’t change much, if at all (there aren’t many but there are a few), and it’s also worth noting that often the expression only stays in place while that character is talking, so their faces return to neutral once the next character starts speaking in the majority of cases.

Or it’s possible (though unlikely) something might not have extracted properly and you may need to remove it from your PC and download it again. If you decide to try this, check one of the puzzle block stories first, since I know those have lots of expression changes and you only have to keep track of a single character.

What's your main account? You said the link to the game is on your main blog but I cant remember/find it

It’s not on my main account, it’s in the main navigation for this blog. Just look at the navigation under where it says “Love is Over” (or go to https://unofficialboueibugame.tumblr.com/) and then click “Download from Drive.”

Edit: If you’re on mobile the above instructions won’t work, but you really need to do it on a PC anyway. While the original app was for mobile, this remade version is only for PCs.

Thank you so much for remaking this game! I was wondering if you would maybe be able to translate the game in the future? No rush though!

That’s the dream! But there are sooooooo many lines of dialogue. Even if my Japanese was really good (it’s just meh at the moment) it would still take a really long time unless I was able to put together a team like like 5-6 people (or more!). And that’s before you figure in editing to make sure characters are IN character and consistent, etc.

But... maybe someday. :D

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award, you’re supposed to paste it in the ask of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it’s sweet to know someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out. ❤

Is it cheating to just post it here for everyone? :D Because I don’t do chain letters, but I find this oddly fitting. <3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hopefully you didn’t party too hard.

Happy Binanshi!

(Also belated Christmas.) I have a gift for you all.

For the past year, I’ve been working on resurrecting the Boueibu game in Renpy. You can read a bit more about it below the cut, and you can download it from the “Download from Drive” link up top. (I’ve removed the link here so maybe this will show up in searches now?)

It will take you to a Google Drive folder, where there are both Windows and Mac versions, and each should be just under 1.5GB.

Thank you to those who helped make this possible. You know who you are!

美男高校地球防衛部　Love! Game! (Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei bu Love! Game!) released on the Android and iOS app stores in February 2015 as a visual novel game starring the anime's 8 main characters. With season 2, the app was updated to include a puzzle game (and renamed "Love! Love! Game!"), which included additional visual novel style short stories. The servers for the app shut down in May 2017.

This Renpy game recreates the original novel portions of the game but does not include the puzzle game. The art is beautiful, the stories are wonderful, and it just had to be saved. All stories in Japanese were purchased or unlocked by fans who have kindly contributed and helped make this possible. In a few cases, where the Voice Collection audio files were used but a script wasn't present, an English fan translation was used instead. The interface seeks to use as much of the original assets as possible, but many modifications had to be made to accommodate Renpy and the lack of the puzzle game.

I hope you enjoy this labour of love. <3

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Now stop looking at Tumblr and go spend time with the people you care about. Unless they’re on Tumblr then by all means carry on. I love you all, and you’re all wonderful. <3

It’s the Friday before Christmas, so let’s chillax with some gorgeous sea views. For additional gorgeous views, see the swimsuit sprites post. ;)

Don’t forget your hoodie.

What happened with the VEPPer ending still from the puzzle game? The others are so vibrant and lively, and theirs is just... well it’s got a blank white background for starters. Protag-chan’s fangirling is super cute though! <3

[unofficialboueibugame]

It’s a little disappointing that the Student Council’s story in the puzzle game was about as long and in-depth as their part of Season 2, but at least they were added at all! And the graphics are, of course, gorgeous.

Can you spot the references to each SC member in the game map? The crossed-out curry coupon gets me every time. XD

Why is she hitting En?

People do weird things when they’re sick. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My mental version of Protag-chan sees her smacking him with a pillow.

If you’re interested, you can find the translation near the bottom of this post. Look under “Special Box”.

[unofficialboueibugame]

One of the best things about the bonus stories is we get to see the characters outside of the usual ensemble. In the one where Protag-chan is sick, we get to see concerned Yumoto, En all like “I heard you were sick so I brought onsen manjuu--why are you hitting me?”, Atsushi cooking (and he brought his own apron?), Io just being nice and Ryuu making sure you take your medicine properly. And of course they all ditched class, which is adorable. But stay in school kids it’s important.

These just give me the warm fuzzies, and the art style is to die for. All the stills are lovely, but these particularly so. <3

[unofficialboueibugame]

Happy birthday from some sparkly boys! Lol at the photo used for the bouquet Atsushi is holding, but they still look so nice.

Seriously though how has Yumoto removed his shirt but not his jacket? I’m not sure what they were doing with Yumoto in this game, but at least they’re consistently weird about it? (???)
