When you begin populating the school and customizing your classroom, you start off in the least likely place – your character’s room, right before the school day starts. Why? Because there’s no common sense in Artificial Academy 2 (at least in my case). Scratch that, you’re probably gonna need a guide for everything. Although everything else is properly labeled in English, your gifts to the character are still left in Japanese, so if you want to whip out the anal beads, you’re gonna need a guide.Ĭel-shading does not complement CG art well. The female side has a lot more personalities to choose from, for obvious reasons. There are dozens of personalities and sexual kinks you can put on your character that fundamentally influence how they behave, mostly affecting how difficult they are to snatch once you begin the dating phase in game. The personalities and traits you can put on your character isn’t as crippled. Not to say that you could have traps with birthing hips, unfortunately – you don’t even get a waist slider when choosing your male body type, nor any middle ground for giving them pseudo-breasts. However, since male and female hairstyles are shared, you’re going to get some femboys and tomboys if you let the randomizer touch your characters. You’ll have to take some creativity if you want to create some characters from other IPs, like Phoenix Wright. The hair in Artificial Academy 2 is a lot more customizable with front, side, and back hair presets that give more patterns. While this managed to work for Galko, there are a lot more diverse body shapes and sizes, such as Otako, Ojou, and Nikuko, that aren’t possible if one wants to go to their hometown. So, if I wanted to replicate her size in the show, I can only adjust the waist on a chubby build to give her hips. Instead, you choose from three pre-rendered weights (slender, regular, and chubby) and throw breasts on top of it.
Unfortunately, in Artificial Academy 2, there are no hip, thigh, or arm sliders to give a proper hourglass shape. In the show she originally comes from, calling her “curvy” would be a unanimous decision, with a glorious rack, narrow waist, and saucy hips, while still having a swimmer’s body. How much you’re going to get out of this game is tied to your suspension of disbelief, and what better way to test this out than to welcome myself to the meme machine?įor this LewdLook, I will be replicating the closest thing to a game loop: make a high school student, take the bicycle around the block, and have a race. Successful simulations are the culmination of having an easy reference point to talk and share with friends, customization out the wazoo, and (sometimes) a limited development team that overstepped its bounds and has made something easy to make fun of.Īrtificial Academy 2 embodies some of those characteristics, for better or for worse. Games also benefit more from being inspired from real life – one of the most memetic games was just a silly amusement park simulation with a skeletal ruleset. After all, if there’s nothing new under the sun that may involve robots, time travelers, and/or espers, might as well make it worth somebody’s time.
To call a game a “meme game” is a very dismissive way to brush aside technical achievement by pointing out the game’s creative sterility.
For the hype that Artificial Academy 2 gets around the community, one question arises: is it a meme game?
