RPGM Sword Art Online: The Trap of Breath Concealed Magic [Part 2 v0.551c] [Fujino]

[4-kun]

When and where was this hinted at? It'd be unfortunate if he decided to end Part 2 at the end of the year when it seems there's still some stuff that'll be left out and undeveloped if he ends it that soon.

I don't remember exactly, maybe a few updates ago? He said the part is getting too big again.

The only hint is the 6/3 progress report where he said he was getting worried about the size of Part 2. There is still no plans to end Part 2 yet.

who knows what ntr online would be like if everything was created with the koikatsu engine, when I say everything, it means that not only characters but also the environment, places and game mechanics like that of koikatsu

I don't think it's possible, koikatsu is a sex simulator, you can't move around, you have a room and various fixed places to make characters have sex, you can make "rooms" but that's it, there is another illusion game where you can move around but it's not "anime art style" it's more "realistic", and most important the game would be very big in GB, and could run only on PCs

what would it be like you can't move? and the character who moves around the school with WASD, what is it for you? here I talk about koikatsu as after school, or sunshine, the character moved freely, if instead you refer to koikatsu as chara studio, then yes, you can't move

Sorry I should've specified, I meant the modifiable part, for what I know you can't make an environment where you can move from scratch, only static places with fixed spot, if it's possible tell me that I always thought that it wasn't possible, and I'll download it again and have a try making something

in my opinion characters, environments, characters and all
explicit movements and scenes were created on chara studio, but to make the character move freely and various commands, I think they used another engine or something like that. Ok I'll stop here, otherwise they'll ban me for changing the topic

there are people here who play through joiplay on a mediatek dimensity processor how does it pull the emulator games

There's an announcement by Saikey that they will start translating ntr online 2, so Fujino will probably wrap things up soon.
The timing of these events makes me thinks this announcement and Fujino's trip are definitely related.

Do you have a link to the announcement? It feels strange that Fujino would let the English translator/localizer indirectly announce the end of Part 2 before he himself did O,O

I don't think this means Fujino is wrapping up NTR Online 2. I think it's just a coincidence. Also, how're they related, Fujino's trip and the announcement?

He announced on his discord. The game has been added to Saikey's website as well:

I am pretty confident that Fujino's trip has absolutely nothing to do with anything, as unless he was straight up lying to us for some reveal later on it makes no sense to assume otherwise.

That being said, Saikey's announcement is strange, unless they translated unfinished games before. Even if Fujino decided to finish part 2 in the very next update, it's still a month and a half away.

I can't say that it's impossible for the game to finish during the next update, since I can see the setup for a climax of this arc for Inoda and Asuna. With FOG being shut down for a few days, I could see the climax of part 2 being irl sex.

Would it be a good climax? No, I can’t see how it would be anything but a rush job, and this is not even taking into consideration all the subplots that still haven't gone anywhere of significance.

Thanks for the link! Hmm, I see...

I mean, no, it can't be, unlike Fujino's update-by-update things, Saikey's page only sells "finished" games I'm pretty sure, so they would indeed need to mean that Part 2 is about to end, either next update or 2 updates from now...

Reminder this may also not be what Fujino "wanted" at all, just that he once again underestimated how much he was extending the plot and the game is struggling again to keep itself together so he HAD to finish Part 2 yes or yes. Pointing out the most obvious thing, Part 2 is already bigger file-sizes-wise than Part one even :O

Eh, this argument isn't as valid as one would think, at least not anymore.

Yes, Fujino did have to cut part 1 short due to the unexpected size problems he wasn’t aware of back then. Yet, that excuse doesn't really fly anymore when we are talking about part 2.

Fujino has known about the size limit of rpgmaster games since the first day of working on this part, so if we reached max capacity, Fujino should have seen it coming a long time before now.

I am more than willing to give him a pass for running into an unexpected problem during the original development for Part 1, but I cannot really buy the same excuse for the direct sequel that was born out of said limitation.

If Part 2 gets a rushed ending, then no one else is to blame but Fujino himself for not properly pacing himself.

The only game at the top of my head that they added to their website before it was finished (granted it didn't need english translation) is Hangover's game "NTR'd by Clumsiness". I remember that on their website they sold the 0.5 version of the game.

I don't know, an 'accident' like the stormy night could just happen again. Is it forced? Yes, just like it (literally) was the first time.

As for the other plots, well, there is progression, and Alice will get her story climax.

But it still could take a few more updates until end of part 2.

 

[Rubyrosesilver22]

Yea after the footjob scene Asuna's model changed. I thought it was just he removed the pantyhose but he made other changes. If Asuna's school uniform changes more it could one of those things that shows Asuna becoming looser or more comfortable with Inoda. The first outfit seems more uptight and closed off compared to the second.

I need this Asuna for koikatsu with those sexy pantyhose

Fujino needs breather things haven’t been easy for him

Oh, I wasn't saying it wouldn't be his fault nor trying to excuse him, I was just pointing out WHY Part 2 could suddenly end, that's all XD This will totally BE Fujino's fault, but at this point is no surprise, it's been stated for a while he really dragged on the main plot a bit too much :3

Thing is, Saikey very clearly has already a decent chunk of the game officially translated going off those screenshots on the official translation's page (Unless he specifically just picked random scenes to translate for the game's preview pages). "Coming Soon" can probably be dragged onto one or 2 months, but more than that would be questionable as to why Saikey posted it so early if that's the case (Especially in the middle of a month where Fujino isn't gonna update). So this seems to point out that Part 2 is indeed ending either the next update or the one after that.

What I'm personally more curious about is how, again, way more than in the game itself, the Saikey page is heavily pointing out and specifying the "multiple routes/ending" bit. This combined with Administrator's earlier words and Fujino giving the option to start from the latest part of the previous update with a small part to 'choose which options you have chosen up to that point', and given how this part is about to end without getting to actual full-on-endings of the game, strongly supports the theory that at the very least the side-characters' stories/routes may end differently depending on what you choose, the main story aside :3

In Fujino's defense, while he was indeed aware of the size restrictions, the game did not develop as he had planned because supporters were not satisfied with the slow story progression. So even if he calculated the number of scenes needed, it could only have been a rough estimate. He is also evolving the game on the go, adding new gameplay features as he comes up with them. Also don't forget, he is still a beginner solo developer, and this is his first real big project. Despite people subjectively claiming it to be an outstanding title, in reality, it is still pretty raw in many places.
