I’m not aware of any eroge that let you completely customize the protagonist in a D&D sort of character creation process… There are games where you can create the heroine, and there are RPGs, but no real hybrid of the two that I know of.

Maybe once eroge are selling in the millions instead of the thousands…. ;_;

We need to get on that right now!

I’ll not lie to you, Raidy is a very limited game. The gameplay and content are direct adaptations of the 1994 version. With that in mind I’d say it’s pretty fun, if you’re not expecting Neverwinter Nights: The Eroge.

If you ask me this isn’t the sort of game you buy for the Ultimate PC Gaming Experience ™, you buy it for a dozen hours of campy fun and to support the industry in the hopes that we can bring out something like Seinarukana or Sengoku Rance in a future not expressed in decades or centuries but in a few short years. ^^;;

Anyway, thanks for the link to the Japanese trial version, I’m downloading that now and will try it out.

JAST USA (its partner brands Peach Princess and G-Collections, to be precise) is the only company currently licensing and releasing eroge in English, other than Kitty Media’s one-off releases of Bible Black and Discipline. I’m afraid we’re doomed to be the best by default… I’d welcome more competition in the field, it would mean the market was expanding.

Missing source code tends to mean the abortion of an entire project; on some old games the original uncensored CG was lost, resulting in releases with some censored CG left intact. This is no longer the case for any of the games we are currently producing.

Alas that Megatech is no longer around…

We’re looking at a late ’08 release for Raidy 2, optimistically; I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance that we’ll have it out before year’s end.

It’s a pretty silly concept, but I have to agree it’s strangely gratifying to have victory signaled by a monster’s clothes falling off. ^^;;

Do you have any estimation as for when Raidy 2 will be released, please ? ^^

So far, JastUSA is the best company for me in terms of converted Japan-Ero titles – English subtitles with the original Japanese voice actors and most importantly, UNCENSORED (unless the raw source code is already gone)

(The former Megatech (Knights of Xentar, Cobra Mission, etc) is in a distant 2nd as they substituted the original Japanese voices with (not very good) English actors.

Edit: Ignosco and Light below me have pointed out that there was, in fact, a Japanese demo available for Raidy I.

… I hope anyone reading this will put down my mistake as due to the lateness of the hour, and not the fact that I am a total fucking idiot.

At any rate, downloading the Japanese demo will give you a decent idea of what to expect in the English game, if you’re interested in trying it before purchase. I… don’t know why I didn’t know this.
