purports to be the first yuri game aimed at women

I'm interested.

Quote:
It seeks writers interested in utsuge (depressing games) with a "dignified" writing style and adept at portraying complicated emotions

Bit Class-S, but sounding good

Quote:
It also welcomes applicants who love big breasts

The first? That's a bold claim. Surely there have been other such games.

Not sure if I like the tagline or the fact it's seeking writers who are into depressing games. =/ Hopefully it'll avoid a tragic lesbians scenario.

Either way will keep an eye out on this since more yuri games for women is always a plus. Very Happy

Seems like the character designer isn't on the same page.

Is this like some kind of joke as in the game will be depressing because we got a bunch of writers that love big breasts and made them write about a cast that don't have big breasts?

Not that it really matters. It just seems like they should get their story straight.

Maybe they'll add new characters or something? I wondered that myself. Or the concept art isn't final, or the MC has the bigger chest.

First yuri dating game for women? You mean there isn't one already? I'm a little surprised at that claim.

At any rate, while it will be aimed at women you can bet your bottom dollar that lots of men will play this too.

The first? Hmm, Flowers looked quite like it had a more female than male target audience to be honest, but oh well! Hell yeah a yuri that I can finally enjoy, hopefully!! I couldn't even get past the first few minutes of any of the Sono Hanabira series alright :l hope that just like the Bara genre, there'll be a yuri-for-females term soon too.

I mean, most of yuri manga is aimed at women and made by women, so I'm surprised there hasn't been a game yet aimed at them? It can't really be true, can it? I mean... Well, okay I guess. I'll keep an eye on it because I don't mind depressing stories.

Yuri has never been indelibly linked to the male audience like yaoi has to the female one. In fact, yuri has its origins in shoujo.

I hope the farewells will be happy endings. I'm interested in seeing how this new yuri game from R-Infinity will play out. Smile

Well, I was definitely down for this until they wanted writers interested in depressing games. I am so sick of this crap.

Wait there are games that specializes in sad endings? I thought the whole point of dating sims was the mixture of Good/Bad Ends varying on what choices you make during game play. Also, weird how they market this a the first Yuri dating sim straight for women yet claim there will be sad endings. Probably really awkward for lesbian/bisexual female players. Confused

I would say the reason why there isn't a yuri game targeted to women is because yuri works in general actually targets everyone who is interested in the genre. There isn't a big fanbase in Japan, so it makes sense.
But a lot of yuri VN has a lot of female fans. Hell, even SonoHana has, and that is clearly make to appeal males.

I think here they are aiming to use more lesbian stereotypes, like butch characters and tragic stories...What a lot of woman actually won't like, actually.
