It’s been a while since I last wrote an eroge game post, I guess the time is just about right now since the latest game from Illusion Soft Schoolmate 2 すくぅ~るメイト2 was just released a few days ago!  For the past couple of years, I haven’t been exactly happy with most of the Illusion releases, save perhaps @Homemate and Schoolmate Sweet; Real Kanojo was a disappointment as it failed to capture my attention for more than 15 minutes.  However, back in April, Illusion soft announced their new latest game Schoolmate 2; the Schoolmate series, one of the few entertaining games coming out of Illusion soft in recent years.  I have been playing this game for a few hours now and so far it’s been decent, so let’s take a look at it.

With the last game from Illusion soft Yuusha[You Can't Escape From the Heroine] ended in utter disappointment, so bad that I didn’t bother writing a blog post about it (I gave up within 10 minutes of game play); I was really on the fence on whether I should even try to play their newest game Real Kanojo リアル彼女 which literally means Real Girlfriend.  For the last couple of years, Illusion soft has been focusing all of their effort on “sex simulator”, gone are the days of action adventure game such as AGA and *glup* can I say Des Blood 4Schoolmate Sweet! and @Homemate turned out to be adequately entertaining that I was at least curious about the game, boasting as their latest innovation in 3D technology and it even come with a pair of 3D glasses with the purchase of the game, by the account from Illusion soft, their demo version of the game has been downloaded 600,000 times!

And there is the opening screen~

After the opening screen you are presented with 3 girls to choose from~

It’s been a month since I began playing Illusion’s latest game @HomeMate, I have had little expectation to start with but the game did not disappoint me, at least not as bad as some of the more recent Illusion titles.  I think I have managed to about 2/3 of the way before I lost interest of stroking the mouse all day long because that’s what it will eventually turned into when you play one of these sex simulator games >.>;  Only this time, I didn’t quite give up on the game totally, I soldiered on and play to Noa’s ending at the very minimum.  Since Illusion has already announced their next game 勇者からは逃げられない!, that just served as a final nudge in the back to finish up @HomeMate.

On day 21, only the girl with the highest affection will show up on the map where you will get the ending scene.

Today, I took a little break away from @HomeMate to travel to Japanese Gourmet Food Fair at the local Mitsuwa store, held between 6/11-6/14.  The main attraction for me today was the live demostration of the “Takoyaki” from  ”Takoya Kukuru”, currently the top favorite snack at the Universal Studio Japan City Walk and one of my personal favorites “Potato Apple Pie”.

The usual semi-empty parking lot is almost full today when I arrive at 3:00PM in the afternoon.

Once inside, people are all lining up for their Takoyaki.  I apologize for the poor photo quality since they don’t like people taking photo inside, I have to use my G1 to sneak these photos in >.>;

So for the past day or so, I have been playing the newest 3D cellshading game from Illusion Soft @HomeMate, after the disappointment from Hako and SchoolMate Sweets! the general gaming community has taken @HomeMate rather cautiously.  But Illusion did not disappoint us this time, @HomeMate is probably their best attempt in combining the successful elements from Artifical Girl 3 and SchoolMate and turn it into some 3D cellshading, simulation and dating game!

I have played with AG3 for a while, but I always thought the sex simulator and the ability to roam the environment was cool but the game  would get dull without any story element attached to it (and I did get bored of it after a few days), SchoolMate has a decent story to it but it’s more like a story book you just read and lacked the “dating” aspect.  Illusion soft has answered our call and combined the elements from both games and turn it into @HomeMate.  I am really excited about this game and I am relutantly taking my time off from the game to blog about my first impression of the game!

Now that I got my main computer back in order, it’s time to catch up on the latest release on the eroge game scene!  I was going to start playing with the new Illusion Soft game @HomeMate today, but I was distracted by a little application call DesktopMate Esk that came with the game.  Very nice for Illusion to package one of their most popular heroines Esk who debuted in their Des Blood 4 ~Lost Alone~ 3D adventure game a few years ago.  Ever since then, almost every other game Illusion released would inevitably come with some sort of Esk costume, like Sexy Beach 3, Artificial Girl 3, etc.  Why Esk you say?  Well, she is a blonde twintails, have cute face, green eyes, etc…. I don’t know, but I have always taken a liking in Esk too.  Enough to distract me to actually play @HomeMate lol.
