discussion What is you opinion on games that use models from "Honey Select" or "Koikatsu"?

[LuqhsA07]

I don't mind them, they're not my go to picks, but the story and kinks have to carry the game, simply going by either of those renders is usually a pass.

I say story trumps all

 

[LuqhsA07]

i think as long the game is good i can overlook it, if i had to choose, i'd rather have Daz and HS2 would be second, HS2 also has tons of mods that can make it look even better and not too high demand for making a vn.

Totally agreed

I absolutely love Honey Select, even more than DAZ. Koikatsu isn't my favorite, but I like it sometimes. I feel like it only works in specific games

 

[JadedSkywalker]

I like both the anime style games and Daz.

 

[jarpyjarp]

I used to dig the look of HS but now everything looks kinda samey to me

 

[vlad666]

Now the AI makes actually best pics, I think so

 

[Mister Raptor]

I honestly like to mix it up. Sometimes I'm in a honey select move. Sometimes Daz. And sometimes I go full weeb with Koikatsu.

Depends on the devs. You can make cute girls and ugly waste with both and even with daz.
I prefer cute girls, no matter how they were made. Sure, some assets get recycled until you dont want to see them anymore, but considering how many identical backgorunds are in many different games...lets just say, i prefer if the girls are unique...and the not every bedroom looks like the one from game x, y and z. But in general, there are much worse options.

They can look great, but most devs just use the most default looking characters or the worst man-made monstrosities

 

[Horrneyguy]

Depends on the game, I'm not a Koi fan though too cartoony for me.
Honey Select can be great and can capture the element of lust really well. Daz sometimes comes a bit too close to uncanny valley.

I'm not really a fan of Koikatsu although I won't automatically skip a game because of it. I like both Daz and Honey Select although sometimes I see stuff made in Daz that just looks awful especially with facial expressions. From what I've seen, HS always looks decent but rarely spectacular. Daz seems to have a much greater range from absolutely incredible down to nightmare fuel.

I say story trumps all

For whatever reason I find games with unique art styles tend to have better stories, I'm thinking of Photo Hunt and similar

 

[NateDawg59]

Both are fine and really depend on the individual artist. HS2 is way better than HS to me. Daz, I mean it can go from really nice to Soundgardens' Black Hole Sun video really quick.

Honey Select can look good - the girls in The Headmaster all look unique and good

 

[Spangles]

Not a fan of Koikatsu. Honey Select can be made to look good. I personally really like the way the models look on Pale Carnations and A house in the rift

Honey select

Not a fan of Koikatsu. Honey Select can be made to look good. I personally really like the way the models look on Pale Carnations and A house in the rift

A House in the Rift is a good example of HS being done right. It's also a pretty decent game. I have yet to ever play Pale Carnations, I gotta do that sometime.

 

[Demiurge299]

I dont mind HS (preferably HS2), but I do have a larger preference for DAZ. In most cases, with very few exceptions, I cannot stand koikatsu however though

 

[User_48178]

I used to be ok with them but lately the style doesn't appeal to me. I'm not sure if I've just been seeing more lazily made games with those render models making them uglier, or if I've gotten so used to the style that the inherent flaws stand out more.

They can be decent sometimes like mythic manor and harem hotel but still way worse than daz
