On collecting scenes from Darakugear and NU:Carnival

[black Bacon]

※Since it's not a good idea to start separate threads for each title, we'll merge the two titles until we get more opinions.
ーfirstlyー
Darakugear and NU: Carnival are Chinese adult social games distributed by DMM and EROLABS.
Darakugear has two patterns of CG, 3D and 2D, and its contents are unique and different from other games.
NU: Carnival is a BL game with 2D animated CG, and is one of the few in its genre that is of high quality and valuable.

However, the conditions for acquiring scenes and the character emission rate are beyond ShangriLa Drive, and it is impossible to collect them alone, even if there were to be a final event.
In addition, Chinese games in this area do not have a start-up period for new players (the same is true of NU: Carnival, to put it simply), so you need to have less than a month's worth of reserves in order to draw your first ssr, and continuous play is required.
Although no end has been announced at this time, the trend is somewhat suspicious and we have created this forum to discuss recording and preparation in advance.


We would be grateful if anyone who is interested in this game could help us.

I'm offering an invitation code to help you get started as much as possible.

We learned last time that you need to think about whether to make it in .mkv at the very least.
No matter how good the image quality is, destroying the warehouse is a bad idea.

There are currently two possible plans.
A:Recording
・Play the DMM version and the EROLAB version, so the probability of getting the characters together will increase.
Note: DMM version is censored.

B:Extract and play the data
・All the characters are available for DL data.
Note: Obfuscation makes it impractical for amateurs who are just using the tool.

For reference, a comparison of censorship on both platforms.

The DMM version has a double mosaic, and initially the haze could be removed, but a later update forced the display of the mosaic.
I hope you now have a little better understanding of why DMM users are worried about this management trend.

No matter how uncensored the EROLAB community is, as long as it is a platform, threads like this will probably not be tolerated.
In some cases, it is necessary to create a closed space like Discord.
And I don't want to be on the back foot like Shandra.

Progress and Current State of the Game: Darakugear
We have obtained all the base characters, and it seems possible to collect the default CGs through the training system. However, the CGs and 3D scenes from events are only implemented for regular and some event-exclusive costumes. The challenge will be how to acquire and unlock these costumes.
Nevertheless, the situation with the game's management remains unsettling. There have been only a handful of new events this year, and everything after that has been reruns of old events.
If things continue with only reruns, it’s likely that at some point, we will move towards wrapping up this project. However, it’s uncertain if the game will last until then.

The DMM version has more costume options than the Elab version, but the mosaic censorship is so severe that it becomes a last resort. Even so, it's puzzling that, despite having 3D models for event costumes, there's no viewer function in the game. This means you can only see them in scenarios or when you don't have the default costumes, which leaves me wondering what the developers were aiming for.
