Cohabitation Games

[nezumitori]

Ayy the new forum look is more streamlined, the profile titles looks FAR less cluttered (good thing) and it's easier to read literally anything in this site. Nice improvements, admin!

Spoiler: Previous recommendations of upcoming works

I would like to add a few other cohabitation game developers I've seen in ci-en that are in the process of making one and has shared a few itty bits of their progress, with pictures.
Some of them already have titles, some haven't.
....

I have found more upcoming cohabitation game devs that are still cooking good:
.....

Here's some more that I found around my usual ci-en recommendation stroll, of upcoming cohabitation games and their devs:
....

Wouldn't expect to have a 4th post dedicated to upcoming cohabitation games. I haven't got anything new and special for upcoming cohab games that are still in-development, but there's one here that's planned to release basically in the next week:

Cohab touching + life sim of meeting a cat girl that nyaas in front your home apartment sheltering from the rain and decides to stick with you from this point onward.
You can headpat her, tease her chin, cat ears, and even converse with her playfully. You can touch anywhere you like on her as long as she allows it. Sleep sex is also included, but you don't want to startle a cat so be gentle and she'll eventually accept or even beg it from you.
All previews are animation preview videos, and I'm not sure how to embed them here.
Considering they have finalized their development, demo is playable

Release date is confirmed on October 1st this year.

actualy, since on on this topic, recomendations on learning jp? want to go for tour there in a year or 2 and i usualy try to learn basics or at least able to do minimum conversations to get by to where i go (ask for help, directions, greetings thanks and goodbyes along with other minor pleasantries).

I actually took intensive beginner courses in university, which compressed the first few years of basic JP into a semester. We went through

, which should be around 2 years worth of elementary JP. I would recommend starting from those textbooks. I also watch anime/vtubers to keep my JP fresh.

If it's just informal convos there are a few quick ways to learning JP for these scenarios:
1. The diligent way, through content dedicated to learning Japanese for convos.
Most of Japanese content is learnt through reading, as the diligence of japs and reading is very synonymous. There are a couple of sites that do help a lot in improving Japanese:
Although we all know that the

is a wonderful resource for formal Japanese, not everyone has time for just merely reading them, and sticking with just this won't be enough for actual irl conversations.
Sites like

and

are good sites both as a guide and as a tool for improving Japanese.
Video content for learning Japanese like also covers stuff that the previous two sites add, while having content for actual JP convos as well.
They both emphasize two things: Basic learning through only reading is not enough. Got to be involved in how they talk and interact as well!
Hence I also provide the next two methods:
2. The convenient way, by watching / reading JP content that is less formal.
I like learning JP both through reading and watching, but mostly reading because mangas are a very common source of informal japanese.
Just reading most untranslated manga and interacting with JP websites, even if it's H-sources like ci-en, can also give an insight of how they use their words either for conversing or sharing content.
I can also understand why watching Anime in JP dub or watching JP vtubers is also helpful in learning Japanese that way, especially the ones with Slice of Life genre like Yuru Camp.
Japanese shows like is a really quick source of vocabulary and conversation keywords, although they're more focused on brain-crunching puzzles.
is a slapstick comedy game show that has LOTS of key japanese words useful for interactions, while having a vintage-tier chuckle.
3. The natural way, converse with actual JP people.
Honestly, I'll only recommend this for the adventurous ones and the onese that already have basic Japanese in the first place.
Whether it's through tweets, social media, discord server voice chats, in-game voice chats, or even VRChat or irl (If you're also that adventurous).
Just reading their JP tweets is also a way to learn how they interact with, but who knows maybe you can butt in and reply to something popular appropriately and blend in with them, who knows!
I had to admit, it's harder to befriend actual japs due to their unanimous introverted nature from foreigners, and they will absolutely point out the JP larp immediately, but you'll get lucky and have that one stranger internet friend you can constantly interact with. Who knows, maybe you can meet them irl and have a good trip there!

Btw, another tip, if you do want to pick some JP content to immerse with JP language, get in with the purpose of actually enjoying the content, not just merely to learn JP. The learning will come naturally on its own as long as you're well into the content in the first place!

And of course, keep doing it daily! Language learning grows from diligence and constant use of the language in any shape or form, just like how we learn to talk when we're mere babies.

thanks for this, yea the way i learned english was from games trying to see what text usualy read and what was happening in current situation and then developed it further once moved over with conversations with people there, german from trips between england and poland to visit family and stoping for few days at different camping sites and just trying to ask things in german than english, french appart from swears and insults nothing else stuck (then again apparently im realy good at saying Jack Shit specificaly). With Japanese, i do try and play games in jp and use translator if im stuck, I do know few things off glance on how the strokes are but just like with english I can understand what is happening but actualy comprehending what is being said is hard. Will use sources to try and keep learning it, hopefully I can meet someone (likely while playing games) that can actualy talk to me in japanese so I can start picking up on that area.
Appologies if this makes no sense in some areas, translating, comprehending, ensuring that gets translated into properly and then double and tripple translating to ensure translation makes sense context wise is still fucking me up even after 20 years of learning english. Usual day to day process when talking for me is say word/sentance in ENG then translate to PL then re translate from PL to ENG and reconfirm accuracy of context and sentance by re retranslating from ENG to PL all withing the few seconds while talking to people trying to prep next string of words and have them ready to flow naturaly (yes i do get hickups because brain go overload).

Structurally, compared to many languages, English is one of those that have inconsistencies on what words mean what so this is perfectly understandable. I still don't get why this language is the universally dominant one tbh, but it's just the universe we live in.

Language is what makes us human, everyone has their own mother tongue and learning and mastering a seperate language always takes time, and how we all process it will never really be exact same. The most important thing is to enjoy the whole process.

yup, and going through different alphabets is even harder, didn't bother personnally lol
