Cave doesn't have a lot of money nowadays and they're just trying to stay relevant and/or not die, I get it.
But do they really want ro sell us a VR game with PS2-shovelware-tier graphics and awful framerate and mindless gameplay?

Maybe they're just trolling people with crap because they're desperate and bored to death ?

I don't think it needs pointing out, but this looks like a demo anyone could have slapped together with 5 minutes in Unity. If only pedo tendenceies and canned urine still were their worst issues.

So does the premium collectors edition come with the schoolgirl uniform and wig or what? :lol:

That would be the most positive interpretation of this scenario, I feel.

Unfortunately, CAVE have proven that they are more than willing to "turn out" their games to all and any degenerate subcultures for the filthy lucre.

On the bright side . . . . . . . . . WAGNER :mrgreen:
Perhaps CAVE are subconsciously asking for the Coup de grâce.

Absolutely. Any self respecting dev would never show such a rough concept to the public. Cave is like that lunatic old relative whose glory days were great but now people would rather ignore.

I doubt even giantess fetishists would like it since she's so obviously mechanical that you might as well rub one out to a gundam
there's probably nothing but several inches thick metal armor under that skirt
maybe if you're more of a dolljoint guy

I have no idea why people have such issues with DFK, as wanking material it would be as weird and niche as jet planes fucking each other
better complain about garegga as well at this rate

If the VR game was based on Akai Katana with gigantic sexy samurai ghost then that crowd could've been more pleased than a doll.
Then again, they are like racoons with their predating even the least amount of size they can get.

It doesn't bother me on the sexuality front, it's more of an artistic issue. The designs look-weak in game, look out of place (and not in an amusing sort of way), and generally hurt the aesthetic. DOJ already did the loli thing much better due to Joker Juns vastly superior artwork anyway.

As stated before, I actually prefer character shmups and I don't have an issue with cute girliies in my games. There's no issue with the better female designs in fighting games, and for a shmup example the final battle of Cotton 100% is legitimately cool (dat dash). So anime babe battles can work, it just doesn't here.

Also Cave is a professional developer. It might be okay for an amateur like me to throw up something I made in an afternoon whilst shitposting, but when you professionally employ people and work with publishers, I don't think you can still get away with "trolling" or posting crap "for fun". Cave's decline in quality may be a result of a decline in profits (rather than the other way around, as some people might suggest), but at this point it still seems like they're just further digging their own graves and making fools of themselves, even by otaku pandering standards.

Not sure why you're playing the "dad/normalfag" card here though. Like I said, I like cutesie anime shit as much as the next guy, and I currently have about 50 firefox tabs open in Exhentai, but I also like my games to have a nice sense of aesthetics. It's not a deal breaker, but I don't see an issue in calling a spade a spade or understanding why other people find it laughable.

Don't disrespect the model 2 that way....
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

You just described 90% of all current VR games.
I haven't actively browsed/used this forum in many years and it's no longer an accurate representation of me.

I have retired from genre-specific content creation after 13 years, but I'll always love this little genre in my own personal way.

there's nothing wrong with anime but a lot of cave anime is boring and generic pandering type shit and it's usually there to bling out games that don't hold up to their older stuff, sorry if this is a dad opinion (i have never reproduced)

I had to check if I wasn't in my imaginary world again where each CAVE game had a great anime adaptation
