Congrats.

Otome games are typically pretty sweet so why not BL ones? I like DRAMAtical Murder but I would also like to play a sweet BL game. ;3;

There are some fluffy BL games. They just don't get translated.

Yeah. I like hardcore porn but. I would like to see fluff as well. ._.

You're better off sticking to BL manga if you want fluff. They get translated more often than BL games.

That's disappointing! I would love to play a sweet BL game. (All the ones I've seen rec'd have been full of rape, murder, and various other unpleasant things. Which are definitely not...well, predictable, so there's that, but something not so grim would be nice, too.)

Most fluffy BL games are quite boring imo. And fandom in geneal seems to prefer stuff with a bit more meat to it, ya know? At least they ones that translate the stuff do. And those games tend to be a bit dark.

Well I don't object to murder or darkness in anything ever (I wouldn't enjoy 90% of the stuff I like if that was the case), but ngl, when I heard of BL games I thought, "Oh, I'll get to have a sweet romance with some cute boys. Yayy!" then...Dramatical Murder. Which I DID enjoy the (bits I experienced, anyway) story to, and some of the characters were pretty cool, but most of the routes are a bit too much for me. So...yea, maybe the sweet ones are a bit predictable and boring, but sometimes I want a break from all that angst and violence and turn to fluff. Maybe the translators just aren't into it. *sighhhhh*

If you want sweet/fluffy games where you romance guys, then you should probably try otome games. There's more of them translated and the most of them aren't dark.

OMG is Hatoful Boyfriend considered an example of this? (It's on the wiki page, haha.) Not exactly what I had in mind, but it seems like that one is quite different from the rest...

Okay, I'll research it at least!

Yep, it is. Here you go. http://www.englishotomegames.net/

Ooo, pretty. Thanks! I'll bookmark this.

Do you (or anyone else) have any good recs for otome games that have been translated, by any chance? I've long wanted to try the genre but I don't know where I should start.

Let me give you an an anti-recommendation: DO NOT PLAY STARRY SKY. It's the most boring, bland and shitty VN I've ever read.

but at least it's safer and it doesn't have rape in it

I'm on the translation team for a BL game, and yeah I think for me a 100% fluff game would get dull to do. I'd want there to be a bit more going on plot-wise (and reveals to be had, etc) for me to stick it out for that long; it's a ridiculous time commitment.

Well, I can't fault you for that. (Though it sounds like there isn't much in-between, that either the game is fluff or disturbing themes everywhere. Maybe eventually some BL games with more of a balance will be made.)

What you do is cool though! (Also, that icon is gorgeous.)

Well, I've been plugging this one as 30% fluff and 70% grimness, so maybe it's more a case that they already have been made (ages ago) but people don't care without the shiny new (Nitro Citral) graphics. xD

And thank you! :) It's a lot of hard work, so definitely a labour of love. (And ty again! I love Sylvia Ji's artwork, gorgeous stuff.)

Which game are you referring to? (The one in the secret?) I'll google it, anyway.

(Ooo, I thought the art looked familiar! I have seen some of her stuff before. Wow.)

Otome games are borefest, though.

I'm pretty sure that's a matter of opinion.

99% of them are shit, but some of them are good (see Hatoful).

I just played Hatoful and was disappointed after all ythe fuss. I understand it gets better after the first play through though so I'll give it another go.

I romanced the pudding obsessed bird btw. We ran off into the sunset together in search of the Great Mystical Pudding.

That was the silliest bird. You should romance Ryouta next (the main character's best friend). He's adorable, and his route will make you cry. His story is heartbreaking.

I wanted silly. If a game about dating pigeons can't be silly it doesn't have much else to attract me to it.

Thanks for the rec but I think I'll go for crazy hot doc pigeon next. Ryouta and his sick mom would just annoy me.

Hatoful...that damn game invaded my brain and would not leave for days after playing it. Even now I hear the sound effect for WING ATTACK and similar, random sounds.

But I love the game.
