Breaking๐Up Petit #2: Kimi no Kimochi, Boku no Kokoro (Takara)
Shorts Ver.: youtube.com/shorts/mnVNU...
Here's a short 'Slightly Ecchi(according to the package)' Psychic Romantic Comedy visual novel published by Takara. The 90's Anime Romcom vibes are strong in this one. But there's a BL ending! How about that.

fyi Nocchi's also really good at drawing guys(of all type and size) and I spent a good portion of my high school years excessively searching for his illustrations featuring dudes lol

Even the cover art is Lucky Dog1 and that was like... over a decade ago? And now I learn there was a Switch port in 2022 and Tennenouji is making a new BL game.
Anyways, here's the index for anyone interested. afaik, no digital copies.

Didn't include in video cuz it diverts too far from the subject; the book publisher Headroom came back with another BL/Otome game publication in June 2025. Probably the only magazine where you can get old-school BL Shikishi in the year of 2025. Look! Seraphim Spiral, Naked Butler and Sukisho lol

[Bringing๐ฑUp Ep06] I Played 7 Versions of my Childhood Game
Happy Idolm@ster 20th as I go on a full-on review on 7(seven!!) ports for the OG Idol Sim, [Tanjou ~Debut~].
I didn't expect the review to be this long. But you gotta do what you gotta do, especially when there's not much info on it compared to its popularity back in the days.

Princess Maker : Children of Revelation on Steam
ใPrincess Maker: Children of Revelationใis a raising simulation game that returns after 18 years as part of the "Princess Maker" package series, where you raise a young girl into adulthood. ...
store.steampowered.com/app/3438810
Early Access for Princess Maker Children of Revelation(or to me, K-Princess Maker) has a release date! As in tomorrow, Friday, July 4th, 2025.
D-zard attributed the delay to Steam's review process. It's also available in English, so play it to your heart's content!

I'm quite wary of early access games(Wasteland 2 traumatized me) so not sure whether or not I'll pick this up or not(but it's quite obvious the team is struggling financially), but it's nice that English speakers can enjoy the early access version if intrigued.

D-ZARD missed their early access launch date for K-Princess Maker; it was expected at 'the end of May'.
Asurajang(D-ZARD's other project) not doing well is another concern.
Meanwhile, you can see the trailer, and apparently it will be available in English as well!

Wrestling with launching dmm player. iPad's running out of space and dmm being notoriously anti-foreign doesn't help. It used to work with VPN before the latest update; I've googled stuff to no avail. Anyways, here's my Gakumas 1st year report card. All girls(-Misuzu) have around 1.9mil fans.

I'm so used to having like 5+ minutes of boot time way back from the olden days, so slow bootup wasn't that much of a concern to me. Plus the PC ran fine for 7 years.
Anyways, I really appreciate all your support so far. Will keep on hoarding them for the day I buy a Switch 2.

Thanks to you Patreons' support, I finally have a Windows-11 running PC on a SSD! Wow, it boots up mere seconds. I've been using HDD thus far and Windows started just about the right time I wake up, do bathroom things and put away the dishes. My sibling's like, how did you even survive this long lol

Even Kokura admits the development for the original Tokimeki Memorial was so gruelling he and the other team members felt like they never wanted to make another dating sim after, but chose to stay for the PlayStation port after the overwhelming response.

Kokura Masashi(one of the original designers/illustrators) pointed out Konami did not acknowledge Tateishi Ryuga, the founding father of the Tokimeki Memorial series in the end credits. Must have thoroughly burned that bridge.

Also, the bathtub peeping event is alive and well, so no need to decry censorship lol (if Tokimemo1 Emotional ever gets a EN release it'll probably get cut thou)

Some info from twitter... looks like Tokimemo POCKET exclusive heroines Naomi, Patricia and Kyoko are technically in Tokimemo Emotional... as background characters.

Was kinda expecting the delay since D-Zard stated there were only 10 developers on the team. That number is down to 6, btw. I am guessing some financial struggles as well, since they're insistent on releasing an Early Access. And they readily warn us Early Access won't have a lot a content lol

Looks like Princess Maker Children of Revelation is going through some development woes; release postponed til next year.
The Early Access with the first 4 years of the game(+19 endings +2 'relationship' endings for two characters) will be available on the end of May.

I played through [Raw Danger!] for the first time for the Dokisui review(I only played the original Japanese title, Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2). I just wanted to record some funny dialogue choices, but ended up beating the thing twice with all collectables. Best in the series no doubt.

Breaking๐Up Episode 27: Doki Doki Suikoden- 108 Girlfriends Who Love You (Irem)
In the early 2000s Irem made a name for themselves for developing dank but unique games for consoles.
[Doki Doki Suikoden] is one of them; a Water Margin-inspired dating sim boasting 108 romanceable heroines.

Another (subjective)cult classic by Wang Ryong(The director of the unlicensed Dragon Ball live action movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gAt...). A faithful adaptation of the 1986 Hokuto no Ken film. Well not exactly, but it's the thought that counts.

The 8 romanceable characters, according to D-Zard. And I dunno, aesthetically they just look like gender swapped versions of each other... and only one pair seems to be siblings. Their character notes are kinda generic too, but guess we gotta just wait and find out.
