GOODBYE SASUGASUGOI

Hello, folks. This is sasugasugoi speaking for the last time. After long hours of thinking, I came to a conclusion that I should shut down this blog, if my university schedule would allow me, temporarily. If my schedule serves me right, I might be able to come back by April again. I will not take down the blog so you can continue to see the tutorials as much as you need to but I will no longer be able to answer your queries, unlike before. I have already started to be inactive anyway, might as well be stably inactive for the mean time. 

To my partner Black Angel, thank you for all the help you've given me and the readers so far. I take my hat off for you and bow down. You deserve a cookie *hands cookie*

*Accepts cookie and hands you an entire cake in return, for you deserve it* Thank you sasugasugoi for this wonderful experience, I can honestly say I enjoyed working on this blog with you. It's sad that the blog is shut down, but I look forward to your next projects! Keep me updated! And I'll be more than glad to continue to help if you decide to reopen this blog. 

To everyone, thank you for staying this long. Even when I started to be inactive, I could still see that people still drops by everyday. This blog usually gets a 150-300 pageviews daily. Thank you for that, even when I just fail your expectations by not giving you new worthy updates. 

Until we meet again, everyone! Bye!


P.S: If I come back, I will start including BL games in the tutorials. Get ready just in case, fujoshis, though I'm sure you don't need my help anyway. Just to impart something personal, here is a skecth drawn by one of my friends, colored by another and hindered by me. XD This is our chibi version. I'm the black cat anyway.

Maaan, trouble trouble~

Relevance to this picture? None. I just think it's nice. ( >w< )

Black Angel is very busy in real life right now. We can't proceed with the goodie we want to give all of you.
Without her cooperation, I'm pretty much dead right now.


On the other hand, I bring you good news!

I will update the Starry Sky ~in Spring~ Installation tutorial for Windows 7.

Win XP is obsolete nowadays anyway. Have to cope up. I might be also be doing a tutorial for Windows 8 when I managed to get an installer. Cheerio Windows users.

Sorry, Mac users.  I still have no intention of doing tutorials for Mac since I am seriously allergic to Apple and their products. They always make finding softwares completely complicated and costly. Sorry, I decided to lay my hands off them a long time ago. At the current flow of things, I don't see any reason to change my status quo.


That's it for now~ Read More →

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SASUGASUGOI BLOG!

Aw, thank you guys. I love you all! <--- Forever Alone

It's been  a year~

Last May 7, 2012, I created sasugasugoi.blogspot.com, a blog dedicated to helping otome gamers everywhere. We survived a year of struggling of uploading, making tutorials and answering/debugging everyone's concern. We had 54 899 page views since creation with an average of 150-300 pageviews per day from audiences from United States, Indonesia, Philippines, Russia, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Germany and France. Thank you for a year of interaction with us. Forgive our incompetence and we hope to do better this year. 

Our year's agenda is to upload all the otome games we possess to spread the otome game madness. 

Now, I mentioned in the previous update post that we have a goodie prepared for all of you. Too bad, we weren't able to make it on time. There's just two of us working on it after all. We'll just inform you in a few more days. We're actually busy in our real lives but we're trying to make it and we don't want it to be crappy. Sorry for raising your hopes like that.

Wish us luck! Please take care of us this year too~ 

Just some eye candies to make up for my incompetence. Stupid me.

This is "Free!", a new anime coming by July. Yum.

Since this is the currently airing otome game-turned-anime.
Brothers' Conflict will come soon.
Don't  worry dears.

Otome game heroine second character design

Man, sorry for the inactive blog. We're currently busy having a life and making the otome game. Just to let you know, the script is not yet done. Frankly speaking, a lot of things are not yet being started yet. My irl partner went AWOL *huff*. Without contact, you can pretty much guess what happens. Note to all of us: Hang in there!

WE ARE APPROACHING THIS BLOG'S ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe that I really started all of this a year ago. We have a surprise goodie for all of you on this day! I hope Black Angel revives so we can prepare it. Just three more daysss :)


Here's a second heroine character design! (So you know that I'm not just having a life)

Another WIP (work-in-progress) but only minor finishings are left anyway.

Frankly speaking, I like this design better. You can compare the effort I spent compared to the other one. I mean, just look!

This is ridiculous right?

As for the male character designs, well, just wait. ;)

 Remember: THREE MORE DAYS UNTIL THE ANNIVERSARY~ ♥

ASDFGHJKL---------!

OMFG. 

HERE IT IS, GIRLS! KYOTO ANIMATION HEARD US! 

NEW ANIME COMING! 

*drumroll*

Hello swim bros. We meet again. kyaaaa~

Kyoto Animation will reveal their next project on April 26 on 10:00 pm , of course their timezone. Niconico will stream the event so ready your bandwidths for a non-lag buffering video.

*sighhhhh* I CAN'T WAIT. BISHIES!!! Read More →

Update?

Well, let's see.
Let me talk about where I was the past days first.
I was in a camp so yes, no internet/computer. Sorry about that.

I'll be posting a review about X-Note.

Let me update you about the translation status of the japanese otome games:
The following are being done by Twin Project
>Prince Panic
>Kimi Iro Puromunaado
>Bloody Call
>Monochrome Heaven
>Ikusei Nikki
>Majo mo Arukeba Akuma ni Ataru
>Magic Romanesque
>Okotoba Desu ga
>My dear 2 -love once again-

>Black Wolves Saga 
> Hitofuta Kitan
>Starry ☆ Sky ~in Summer~
>Starry ☆ Sky ~in Autumn~ - 10%
>Starry ☆ Sky ~in Winter~ - 5%


>Diabolik Lovers - this has a fickle situation and it seems that the translators don't want their work to be made into patch.
                           - last time I checked, it was already at 18%
>Lucky Dog 1 - same situation as Diabolik Lovers
>OZMAFIA - Legal translation. This isn't really confirmed but there's a possibility. Don't get your hopes up. It's just a possibility. It depends on how the game hits. We'll just cross our hands and buy a copy.
The team that is doing Starry Sky ~in Summer~ are looking for more J>E translators as well as programmers and hackers to make the patch. I'm not sure which of which are to be made into patches or just available as translations in wiki. Please offer your help to the teams doing the work if you can.


To make up for my absence, here's some new updates about the otome game that we plan to make. This is a WIP (work-in-progress. I'm not yet done, okay?) character design. In other words, it's not the official character design yet. I have to confirm with my partner first.

So sorry for amateurish art yet again. I totally suck at digital coloring.
 If somebody wants to offer their services, you are very much welcome.
click for enlarged pic.

Yes, we have a typical delinquent-kun. But don't write him off yet, there's more to him than his looks. Or attitude. Sorry, no name yet and as for his story... let us polish it off first before I provide more sneak peeks.

Are you excited about this project? Tell me your thoughts people! I'd love to hear from you!


See ya! Await the next spoils. Huehuehue. >:)

I'm sorrryyyyy!!!

I'm really sorry if I'm still inactive today. Life is hard if it's forced on you. I am currently not a hikikomori  right now. I am currently staying in Australia for seven more weeks. Yes, yes, it's not my home country. I do apologize for having a life right now. Life means little or no internet involvement at all here where I'm staying'.

To apologize for that, I bring you information about the new hakuouki game: Urakata Hakuouki
[Urakata is somewhat like "Reverse" or "on the other side" (?). Sorry, crappy Japanese skills here. I just know that it entails that this story is all about the other side of the army: Choushu and Satsuma.]
They already released the opening movie for the said PSP game. If you want to watch it, go here:
http://www.otomate.jp/hakuoki/urakata/special/
This will be released on May 30, 2013.

Here are some CG samples, brought to you by our beloved Otomate.

"They" made it seem that the girl is really skilled in sword art. Let's just hope that she uses those swords for real and not for some damn decoration. (Hello Yukimura Chizuru) Let's also hope that she's not a "Mary Sue".

Probably the Mr. Nice Guy who turns out that he isn't all that.

Jinguji Ren type. That sweet-tongued guy. No pun intended in regards to the picture.

Why am I already hating this bastard guy when I haven't played his route yet? I'm getting the feeling that he is this really arrogant guy who think he can get all of that but softens up when he falls in love. Hello otome standards.

Most likely a Saitou equivalent. Ninja. Yum.

Yeah. That's it. Not exactly new new but I compiled the information.

The Host Holic Review GET!

FINALLY! NEW UPDATE! Sorry for the long inactive period. Both I and Black Angel had a life, thus, slightly-inactive blog. I finally graduated from highschool and since there's still time before my departure for Australia, I'm taking the chance to update. 

Oh yeah, the main point of this update is to tell you about my The Host Holic review! Check that genuine English otome game. It's worth the play. If you're not sure, consult the above-mentioned review. 
(Check my Love Revo!! Review too please! ~BlackAngel)

Well, if you're wondering about my own otome project, we're struggling with the initial character designs. It's really hard to do this stuff if your irl best friend, to whom cellphone and internet are rare beings, simply vanished from you. No contact whatsoever. (-_- )Remind me to throw her cellphone and laptop and to hack her Skype account (does she even have one? I don't think so.) and Facebook. Oh, and let me rip her internet cables while I'm at it since she currently shows no proof that she's utilizing it whatsoever. 

Well, that's it! Ja ne!  Read More →

Heroine Character Design

I'm really sorry for my skill. huhu TT^TT
Everything was done by my hand so forgive the unstable lines.
I promise I will practice more. 

Just an update.
I finished coloring after 3-5 hours. Snack breaks included.  (>w<)b

Sorry for my incompetent skill. I promise to practice more so that the CGs won't be as unsatisfactory as this one.

Criticisms? Of course, I'm very much open for that. Still, it's hard to accept a criticism phrased in a rude way. Please, help me. I believe in manners.

Can you guys recommend a good name for her? ^o^ Read More →

How about a new otome game? :3

Sorry for amateurish art. What can I do? I don't have a pen tablet.

             Well, as you can see, I'm not even done with the coloring. I already spent an hour on this and I'm not even close to finishing. I and my irl best friend are planning to make a new otome game.

             Hopefully, that caught your attention.

             The girl you can see above is one of the proposed character designs for the heroine. In other words, you. I also have the character sketch for one of the boys. We initially planned to have three boys with different endings: bad ends, normal ends and, of course, good end for each. I prefer to think of myself as a meticulous writer and I hate shitty character or developments. Sorry for the word but you get my drift. I really detest doormat heroines or Mary Sue characters . That is to say, I will try my best to write a story about a girl that deviates from the cliche shoujo heroines we were bombarded by mangaka/writers who does not believe in realism.

              I mentioned " initially planned to have three boys". You got that right. We can also add more capturable hot guys depending on our time. Hopefully, we would first be able to achieve our number one target in our agenda: three capturable hot bishounen.  This may vary since we are doing this game with a two-man (err, woman) team. And we're not aiming for too short otome games that we already experienced. (We know that the players would kill us for not having a worthy game length). Just imagine the hard work involved: character sprites, backgrounds, game layouts, CGs, scripts and programming. We will try our best with regards to the art style but don't expect too much. We are amateur artists. (Refer to art above). Of course, we'll be using Ren'Py since we would just be wasting our efforts to program a game through Java when there's a very capable game engine available for free already.

             Since you read this far, I will give you a bonus. Here is the story's synopsis. At least, for now anyway.

             Meet our heroine [insert name. We haven't decided yet.], a strong-willed, slightly cynical but nonetheless, a kind-hearted and gentle girl of modern times. There was a rumor in this girl's family about a mysterious power. As the modern person she is and as fate would have it, she did not believe this. Until one supposedly uneventful night she fell asleep. She found out that she can exchange her consciousness with her selves from different lifetimes. Is this a mean to change her lives' tragic fates or to find the one meant for her?  Is she willing to take a risk to fight for what she desires: may it be her right to life or  right to be with the man she loves? If so, who and what will she fight for: past, present or future?

              How's that? Comments, suggestions, reactions, anyone? We love to hear from you. Help us achieve a worthy English otome game for every otome gamer.  Read More →

REVIVAL DATE

Sorry for the long inactive mode. It can't be helped since I have a life nowadays. Strangely, Black Angel is MIA so maybe she's having a life right now too.

Indeed. I've been too busy living my Otaku life *trollface. Just kidding. I'm back from my spring break so hopefully you'll see more of me soon. Black Angel~

Well, it's my Baccalaureate Mass tomorrow and Graduation Day the next. Expect me in a few more days! I will mark my revival with a few updates. Tee hee.

On the other side, hopefully, my trip to Australia would be granted. Supposedly, I am to stay there for two long months (I'm staying at my aunt's). Huzzah to the Aussies! 

That's all. *winks*

I'm sorry, my post ruined the nice format.  Sotsugyo Omedeto! Read More →

Same same... Bishie sideline

Well, I was just browsing through the site Kyoto Animation for more information. Found one that bugged me. 

For those who are wondering, it says:

                                                                    「Swimming Edition」

                                                                   New Challenge!

                                                                   March 31, 2013 ON AIR

                                                                   30 seconds. 

I wonder what's on March 31???? Are they releasing more information about the said CM? I hope so. Nah, just some random ramblings. I'm pretty busy since it's exam period and graduation's near so... Read More →

Ore to Omae no Sa o Oshiete Yaru Yo

 Promotional Video for KyoAni and hot abs

Those effin' lines. 

HD resolution = best experience ever.

OMYDEARSWEETGAWD.

Found this today (Sweet evidence of my outdated-ness). Last update was on April 2012 but whatever. It's not even an anime yet it already has such a huge fandom. Animation Do released this on their site a few while back. No news since then. 

OH GOD. PLEASE MAKE THIS INTO AN ANIME. 

I'm ready for half-naked boys with swimming talent and hot abs. 

We have water bottle-kun

Shota-senpai

Uh.. Happy-go-lucky guy. Probably

Please rape me, Senpai.

Not a real update but I just wanna tell that I'm still alive. Very much alive. Indeed, alive.

Shinsengumi knocking on your door~

Heya! It's been a long time since my last post. I added another tutorial: Hakuouki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (PSP) on Emulator. 
You can find it here: http://sasugasugoi.blogspot.com/2013/02/hakuouki-demon-of-fleeting-blossom-psp.html

I will upload the game when I have the time. My Prom is tomorrow~ ♥

At the same time, I will review the following in random order:
• Re: Alistair++
• Host Holic
• Shinsen-Renki
• Starry Sky ~in Summer~ Read More →

AGENDAAAAAA

Funyaaa~ Minna, get to know us by reading the MEET THE TEAM post. It's under About > MEET THE TEAM. I would really appreciate those who read our interesting stuff there.

But that's not the main point of this update. Actually, there's no real update, just a few catch-up news regarding our next agenda.

I would be covering the upload and reviews of other Starry Sky games (yey~) but before that, allow me to feature Re: Alistair++, a free otome game by Sake Visual. (heh~ that got your attention, huh?)

My next tutorial would be: *drum roll*

Hakuouki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (PSP) on Emulator! 

Sure, you have those videos about how to do this but it's easier to follow a tutorial that doesn't run by a second and stays on the same spot until you are ready to move on to the next step. That's my opinion, of course. (I didn't watch the videos ^^" teehee.) If you would prefer those videos, go ahead. Just remember that my tutorial is ready to guide you in case you get lost. I would still be your usual patient correspondence to your technical problems.

One more thing, we're not asking for anything but we do appreciate simple "thank you" messages. Those inspire us a lot. Help everyone by spreading the word about the sasugasugoi blog!

That concludes a sasugasugoi regular (?)  update! Read More →

Christmas Break over. *dies*

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THERE'S CLASSES TOMORROW?

Sadly, my break ends today. I'll be going to school in approximately 14  hours. It's really bothersome to go to school. (Especially since I haven't memorized the 14-stanza with 5 lines each poem as my project)

OH WELL. 

Here's a new update!

English patch for The Second Reproduction has been re-uploaded. Usual things: It's at the bottom of the review but I'll be giving a link here anyway:

http://www.4shared.com/rar/nmwq5HhU/TSR_Patch_-_English_v099b.html


Still be uploading more otome games so sit tight.

Oh yeah, I don't know if you guys noticed but we have new ways to communicate with us. We have the e-mail subscription. Just fill up your e-mail add at the form at the right sidebar and it will automatically send you an e-mail whenever we have a new update. We also have the comment form wherein you can send a message direct to our e-mail adds. There are two forms addressed to me and Black Angel respectively.

Please report any broken links or errors found in this blog. We are hoping for your cooperation. Arigatou~

More Download Links

Just as the title says.
I have more download links now. I'm using 4shared right now and I hope that they are not quick to delete their files (Hi Mediafire and Jumbofiles).

I got The Second Reproduction here. As usual, dl links can be found at the bottom of the review. And as usual, I'm giving you guys a shortcut: (461 MB)
http://www.4shared.com/rar/EelKkCEs/SR_online.html

I only have whole files right now. I will divide all of the games into parts so they'll be smaller in file size as you download them one at a time.

In line with that, I also have the English Patch for Starry Sky ~in Spring~. It can also be found at the bottom of the review but here's a shortcut anyway: (443 MB) http://www.4shared.com/rar/1I0u_1PV/Starry_Sky_In_Spring_v10_Full.html


That's it for now. Read More →

HEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Here's my updates:

Download links for Starry Sky ~in Spring~ is up again. It can be found in the bottom of the review. 

I'll post it here anyway because I know you guys want shortcuts :3

I'm uploading the English patch of SS ~in Spring~, The Second Reproduction ^& english patch and Starry Sky ~in Summer~! More tutorials to come. Yey! \(^o^)/ 


Blog look will achieve it's utmost potential soon. I already addressed the immediate concerns so no goodbye messy blog! Only minor changes will be done, don't worry. What do you think about the blog? Please, talk to me! Let's start a conversation. 


GET TO KNOW ABOUT US IN THE MEET THE TEAM POST! :D Yoroshiku~! <3


That's all!  Read More →

New Look

I knoooooow. It still looks weird as hell. Please bear with me. Blog is under construction!! \(^o^)/

Shortest announcement ever. Read More →

Updates.

Hey everyone. Sasugasugoi here. As usual, things might be back to my useless ramblings. It's really unfortunate that studies prevented me from living my otaku life. Yes, REAL LIFE IS TRYING TO CLAIM ME. Of course, I don't plan to lose so easily. What am I doing these days? Of course, thesis. In what sort of event did they thought to make 16-year old students make baby theses, I don't know. Currently, I'm working on The Relationship of Different Parenting Styles to the Academic Achievements of Second Year Students in... blaaaaah. I hate thesis.
I'm really sorry for that.As part of my apology, I will announce that I am making a tutorial on how to play Hakuouki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom on PSP Emulator (JPCSP)! Yes, please anticipate it. I will also include walkthrough so getting those hawt bishies would be a piece of cake!

For now, please be consoled with an eye candy. And a bit of trivia/info.

Before Arturia was presented as a female king and Emiya Shirou as a boy master in Fate/Stay Night, the first drafts of character designs showed a male Saber  and female protagonist Ayaka Sajyou. Kinoko Nasu had to redesign in order to meet the demands of the otaku world. *Shame on this H-dominated otaku world* Thus, they exchanged the genders of both protagonists and created Fate/Stay Night. Type-Moon released a 12-minute long OVA included in their Carnival Phantasm Season 3. The OVA was entitled Fate/Prototype. The plot still basically follows the F/SN flow: Ayaka Sajyou was pursued by Lancer and was saved in time by Saber who heeded her summons just in time. Her master position is under The Seventh.

*Sigh* A shame that they did not continue this. Let's cross our fingers that Type-Moon would have a change of heart with the reactions of fangirls from the OVA.

Here is a wallpaper. I don't think I have to introduce them anymore, right?  Happy fangirling!

Kyaaa~! SABER------------! MARRY MEEEEEE! <3 <3 <3
