Finally decided to pick this up after watching and waiting for ages, but I'm having a weird issue where the colors are just completely fucked, like a weird gamma bug or something. Never had this kind of issue before, wondering if anyone else has experienced the same for this game.
The what look like compression errors are there in game too (easiest to see on the red gate but it's everywhere), really weird.
Edit: Seems like only some maps are affected, the shrine map for example is totally okay.
New game is called Aicomi (アイコミ =)
Release Date: September 26th (roughly in 2 and a half months from now)
Cards from HC and SVS are compatible, also comes with further customizations in not just looks for body or clothes, but also animations in the face and body language expressions etc.
New sex poses,
All sex is happening the level/on the map I think (was in KK, too). Meaning when you're mingeling with her in the cafe, she could lean on the counter, or when you're in the library, she is holding on to the book shelves and hold her mouth shut to not sound loud moaning and such details. Or pressing her up against the window, pressing her tits against the glass as you take her on while the outside totally sees whats happening.
But what's the point of public sex if there is no shame to it since everyone is in the known and no space for netori/stealing, since you're the only guy and I don't see any relationship mechanics between NPCs anyway.
Personality Count: 23
including but could be more later in some DLC in the future
+Teacher
+Cafe Clerk
+Librarian
+Monogusa (Lazy/Sluggish/LaidBack, think of Yuru Camp charas enjoying relaxed pace of life)
++Cheeky and Ojousama/Ladylike (both were in SVS I believe but now with different voice identity and voice lines sentences)
+TSUNDERE (dedicated type of character that has been absent the past titles)
+S-ish (?), could be seinen type, may contain the type of a violent, psychological elements-ish, or just more realistic character ?
++Two tomboy personalities ! One Boyish and other BokuGirl, probably exploring either side's extreme of the tomboy spectrum. (One more girlish feminine and other more masculine in the way they talk)
+OldFashioned/Traditional, sound clips sounds of a very young girl using oldish conjunctions in her sentences. (idk, i don't speak japanese)
++Glamarous and Gal, think of any fashionable but warmish for Glamarous but for Gal is more genki.
+Yamato Fuchiko/Nadeshiko, le Ordinary, le japanese ideal women. Tender, clearly soft spoken etc. etc.
+Geek/Nerd

+Shy
+Delinquint Girl/Bad Girl, basically female blunt version with a touch of hobby-yakuza manner
+Cool
+Radiating/Luminous/Optimistic

Overall, you guys were right. It's Koikatsu Inaka with best vanilla 3D anime characters and probably with strong anti-mod protection. What a bummer. Will play for a while tho.

I know.
I considered it but there isn't much to talk about Aikomi right now and that game will no doubt get it's own thread once it releases in september anyways. Interest in it doesn't seem high enough. Discourse elsewhere beside f95 included.
Does anybody know how to export cards from HC and into this one? I did go to UserData/chara/female but every thing there is .png format. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Does anyone know what is the format of the character cards? I have bunch of them from pixiv that happened to not be them and I'd like to write a script to validate them, this does not seems to be exif in png file. They seems to be at the end of file but I am unsure how to parse them, what is the format and the separator from png to the text data. I suspect DS270 might know as you modded the game.

All carddata placed directly after the png's IEND chunk, and they start with some magic UTF-8 encoded bytes that identifies the game the card belongs to. For SVS this is "【SVChara】" (in hex bytes E3 80 90 53 56 43 68 61 72 61 E3 80 91).
About parsing, I did some reverse engineering, the code is
You must be registered to see the links
. Basically it's
- the png end chunk's magic "IEND"
- the png end chunk's checksum on four bytes
- the card's magic on various number of bytes, "【SVChara】"
- one byte version string length, then version string
- four bytes face image length, then face image (which is another, but smaller png image)
- for some games two times one byte string length and ASCII encoded UUID (couldn't figure out when and which games have these UUIDs or what they are for)
- four bytes header size, then header (contains character's name and such)
- four bytes property list size, then property list
The property list consist of a key string and a value. I only cared about the "sex" key, it's value is a single byte "F" or "M". But it looks like the property list is encoded the same way in all Illusion / Illgames products, so if you can parse one of them, then you can parse all of them. Screwthisnoise's BetterRepacks contain some tool to parse these, but I never could make them work, they always crash for me.
Studying the source might help you figuring out the exact header and property format:

. (Again, the format is the same for all Illusion / Illgames products, it's just different games might have different property keys.)
meh. so illgames never fixed anything broken with samabake and just rolled onto the next one
at least this time is not plagued with voices/personalities that sound way too childish. (ironically since it's school themed. a plus for me lol)
and the hair looks way better than in samabake. which was lacking basic hairstyles.
and was plagued with composite hair that didn't match anything. (mixed side hair and bangs instead of having them separate)
the hair this time looks... fine O_O
not mismatched sizes between front and back. the chars with short unruly hair doesn't look odd. like Giger's alien back of the head in samabake.
face is still the odd proportions of samabake but... a little more refined.
20 personalities + 3 (apparently) fixed characters (the teacher, the librarian and the coffee shop employee)
there seems to be some more normal clothing styles.
open world(ish) 3d free roam. school themed, laid back, single male experience. so a remake of Koikatsu.
characters are seen roaming the rural town. So it's not entirely school centered.
there is a part on the video where you go to a festival with your crush, dressed in a yukata to watch fireworks. (so there are events outside the daily routine)
H events interact with the environment (no more floating in the ether)
are these going to be in real time? (are like artificial girl, where other characters could run into you) or separate scenes frozen in time? only time will tell.
so first they gave us honey select R
then a weird Artificial academy R in a beach
let's see what koikatsu R brings this time XD
I just hope they optimize it this time. it's ridiculous that samabake was putting more strain in my video card than the witcher 3 with the next gen update XD
but we still have until September 26 to see what it's really in there.
Anyone uses Digital Craft for SVS character models? I'd like to work on some but find the in-game interface to be a bit annoying, found the Digital Craft that claims to be compatible with it and it cost only 10 USD but before I get it I'd love if someone that use or used it could share some feedback.

Bad news. You can import characards in DC but after that you just dress and pose 'em, that's all. Character configuration is similar to what you have during the free mode game (choose a preset, turning bra on-off, skirt on-off, etc.), and nothing more; you can't create characters like with the in-game interface.
"Compatible" in this case just means you can import both HC and SVS characards into DC.
I wonder what exactly it means. MFFFF most likely. Personally I hope they will actually give MMF, MMMF, MMMMF as well but the chance is very low given the theme.
Regarding Aicomi, on dlsite I found interesting note:

That does sound interesting.
They might actually saw that mod in koikatsu that allowed you to do that, too.
It worked this way:
You initiate sex with one girl somewhere on the map.
Starts normal 2P sex.
Another girl comes around the corner and sees you two.
New Girl asks to join, starting 3P.
New other girls start catching your public sex and asks to join, too.
From here it max out with 5 people, but you're not having a 5P but the sex remains 3P.
You can switch each partner of the 3P with one of the surrounding girls anytime, as they're masturbating watching your 3P, waiting for their turn with you and they're reaching their own climax regularly from seeing your live-demonstration porn.
So it's always 3P with a realistic way to switch partners.
It would be reaaaaly amazing if they expand it to actual 5P sex, like you're sitting, two girls on their knees tending to your balls & cock.(3p) One girl hugging behind you, stroking it (4P) and another girl kissing or licking your nipples (5P).
But why aren't they then showing any pictures ? Suspiciouns arise from their lack of showing new, exciting features that could help generating hype like this could. Instead they only write down a little text. Huh.
is there any chance SVS is still going to get modded? such as male voice (which i dont know if its possible but it would be nice since its annoying they dont talk too) and other features that aa2 had because this game has potential but from what i saw it was hard to mod.

Give the girls some AI. Don't make them mindless zombies walking around aimlessly, waiting for Player Senpai to notice them. I know the setting of the game being an all girls school they will be "shy" talking to a boy their age for the first time, but they should interact with each other. Maybe once they have a good enough relationship with you, they'll interact with you on their own. Give us more freedom with our conversations. One thing I didn't like about Kokatsu Sunshine (and probably the original Koikatsu) was that we had to search the entire town for topics to talk about.
Clothing. One thing I liked about the character customization from Koikatsu was that you could layer clothing. Sadly, from the videos and screenshots, it doesn't seem that we can do that, but it would be nice if that feature came back. Chances are each girl will have 3 outfits. 1 for school, 1 casual, and 1 swim/bathing outfit. One thing I'd like to see them add is an option for a second or even third casual outfit and maybe split the swimming/bathing outfit. That way the girls can wear a swimsuit on the beach and bathe naked. Also, I hope they fixed the clothes with bigger breast sizes, and make it so clothing doesn't clip through itself, hiding details such as buttons.
As for the town, I hope that it's big enough that no single place feels overcrowded, but not too big that it feels empty. A few empty spaces are good, so if you need to take a girl somewhere private, but I don't want to walk around forever trying to find a girl. Also, don't make it feel like the player has a GPS tracker embedded in their skin that allows all the girls to flock to their location.
As for H, I'm pretty happy with what we have in SVS. Though I would like peeking in the bathroom and shower to return. Maybe some accidental situations where you can choose to help them or "help yourself" or ignore, might be fun.
Also, clubs/after school activities /jobs would help make the world feel more alive.
When you say "modding SVS", that actually refers to two different things:
- adding new content (like a new voice or map) is relatively simple and is happening and probably going to happen in the future too
- adding new functions (like pregnancy, higher limits to sliders, different camera angles, timeline in DC, etc.) is notoriously hard
As for the latter, you have to wait until new BepInEx versions and new modder tools become available (will happen sooner or later for sure, but hard to say when). The reason why other Illusion games have so many of these kind of plugins is because the toolchain for C#/Mono bytecode is well established, but these newer HC/SVS games use IL2CPP with native machine code, so existing plugin creating modder tools do not work with them any more.
The map modder had also made the custom personality mod and more, so it's likely that modders simply aren't enthusiastic about modding the game. The game has already been decrypted for months, so it has technically been wide open for Koikatsu levels of modding this whole time.
