Obligatory Solitaire mini-game.

visual novels aren't games

I'm not sure if the designs or aesthetics are cute/nice enough. That's pretty important for a VN.

Girl in the OP is kind of cute. Looks like Max.

I want him to do a VN about Nivas.

>Generic lesbian look

Max is straight.

Not gonna lie. It's the first thing I thought about when I saw her.

That's what? Two bad games in a row? Zach is losing his touch.

>Not a Kino puzzle game.
Fucking dropped

anyone who played shenzhen i/o knew that ol zach has always wanted to be a writer

i mean at least it isnt jp waifushit

You have beaten Spacechem, right?

I don't get it

I mean I noticed the games had a pretty good story for what they are, and makes them fun and good taste.

I guess it's ok to have a go at it. I liked Opus Magnum story and Spacechem.

But that's all VNs, even the Japanese ones.

...

Can you actually bang or romance girl in pic? She was hot, didn't play that route though.

woah so this is the true power of minecraft creator...

I can spot one very easy optimization there.

Ignore Zachtronic shill threads.

What's the best Zachtronics game to start with? I bought them all without thinking and now I'm overwhelmed.

are you a programmer/engineer? it doesn't matter what you start with you'll pick it up

are you not one? start with opus magnum or infinifactory

Opus Magnum is the easiest.

all of them or infinifactory
if you can't get into that, probably try fortnite

Spacechem for sure. It's a real gem.

Waifushit is the entire reason why the genre fucking exists. The only advantage the genre offers is being able to have animu waifu story at a fraction of a budget of an actual anime or game. And requiring much less art than a manga series would.
If you want to write a serious story that doesn't rely on cute character designs there's no reason to write a VN instead of an actual novel.

im gonna play the game later today, but the ars technica review mentioned that there's a pretty important visual element to eliza that wouldn't have worked in book form

i can't say anything one way or the other till i actually play it when i get back tonight

What about Otomes and Yaoi VNs?

"Waifushit" encompasses husbandoshit in this context.

the real question is, will Matthew Matosis make a video on it?

He better.

it's just memes.

Was Exapunks bad? It looked good.

I am not nearly smart enough for any of his games.

Is there a torrent already?

If the entire game revolves around this visual element to work then I guess it's fine in that case. Otherwise it's a waste of art resources since everything looks so bland.

i think it's good, just rather short and the ending sucks. you can't even bang the AI chick

Thanks senpai. Download took only like 15 seconds.

Pick any, but I think the best are Spacechem and Opus Magnum because are easy to pick up

I mean Shenzhen and the rest are about actual programming puzzles and you need at least a notion of it, in writing form of course.

That's sexy as fuck

This kind of person believes that the way they see the world is the only correct viewpoint and that everyone else's opinions are invalid. Since they think that they are always right, they feel that they have to "help others" by getting rid of things that they feel deserves hatred and scorn. These people are usually incredibly narcissistic and have an inflated sense of self-worth.

alright, got the crack
gonna try this while I put Matthewmatosis' video in the background

I crapped out on the last set of levels but am too proud to look up solutions myself
my shame is eternal

It's good, but it's fairly short and much easier to bruteforce solutions compared to TIS/Shenzhen

Very disappointing. I've bought the past 4 or 5 Zachtronics games on day 1 and always anticipate their next game, but this is just a terrible move. I might be interested if they went in the direction of Zero Escape with their open ended puzzles placing escape rooms, but pure VN is just boring. Their stories are always boring. They should just make Spacechem 2 or something.

Infinifactory

Is it based on this thing?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

eh, so far pretty ok, seems everything except internal thoughts are voiced
not what I've come to expect from zach but don't see anything too glaring yet

There are several optimizations I can see here, the easiest of which would be replacing the piston on the left with an arm since it doesn't extend or contract.

You are like a little baby.
