Hello. Thank you for taking the time to visit ULMF.org. This forum is primarily dedicated to the discussion of hentai games. Here, you can find and/or contribute to conversations on news and updates on games and developers, gameplay information, technical help, translation efforts, and other miscellaneous topics pertaining to H-games. While you are free to share download links to games here, it is against the rules to ask for them. Please see rule 2 for more information.
Please take the time to review these rules, as there are several guidelines listed here that help maintain the quality of discussion here and failure to adhere to them will result in an appropriate punishment, depending on the violation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Be respectful to one another.
Self-explanatory. The occasional flame during a heated exchange is fine, but once discussion devolves into personal attacks, posts will be deleted and the instigators will be officially warned. Subsequent incidents will result in a 2 week ban.
2. Do not ask for download links to commercially available, purchasable H-games
This rule only applies to ASKING for links. The only rule for POSTING links is to avoid already banned content OR the developer has explicitly asked for links not to be distributed.
Asking for or alluding to asking for links to any commercially available products is prohibited. This includes asking asking where to find a game. This also includes asking for somebody to PM you the game. Failure to follow this rule will result in an official warning. Second offenses will result in a two week ban. Any subsequent offenses after that will result in a permanent ban.
Users with less than three posts will be permanently banned if found to be breaking this rule.
Clarifications and addendums:
3. Thread Creation
When creating a thread, the following points must be adhered to. Not including them will result in the thread being locked and moved to the H-Section, no matter how many posts the thread gets before a moderator sees it. Copy-pasting translated DLSite information is not a valid OP.
Thread title must follow this format, as applicable:
[Author’s Name in native language / Author's Name in English, if official translation exists. This is optional] Title of game in primary language / Title of game in English, if official translation exists. This is optional. (RJ Number, Last Updated, Version Number, if applicable.)
For example: [月の水企画 / Tsuki-no-Mizu] ナイトメアガールズ / Nightmare Girls (RJ215006)
Thread OP must contain the minimum information, though you are encouraged to add as much information as you'd like:
Users will receive two warnings for not following these guidelines. Subsequent offenses will result in a week long ban.
4. Threads with loli/shota discussion are allowed. Loli and shota content are NOT allowed under any circumstances.
Threads are allowed to discuss the content, but may not share them in public view. Do not link pictures of them. Do not link game downloads that contain underage content. The only exception to this rule is the thread OP, when linking the source of the game’s information, within reason. Even then, ONLY provide the link to the source. Do not post DLSite preview images, unless there is no explicitly sexual content (nudity is NOT allowed). Failure to adhere to this will result in a warning. Subsequent offenses will result in an immediate 3 day ban.
The forum will adhere to the “appearance” guideline. Simply put, if it looks underage, it is underage.
5. Games that are incomplete/still in development are not to be posted here.
Post them in the Under Construction sub-section. If the game is completed, they may be posted here. The general guideline is that a game is considered complete if it has been given a retail price and being sold currently. If a game falls under this criteria, but is exceedingly obvious that it was released with incomplete feature (ie early access type games), it will still be considered incomplete.
6. Modifications or large additions to games are allowed their own thread.
The base game should already contain adult content to be allowed on the H-Games section; otherwise, it should be kept in the General Discussion section. These threads must still follow OP standards. Games that fall under this definition are:
7. Please follow prefix guidelines when adding them to your threads.
These are not hard rules and there is no punishment for incorrect tagging, but it allows for easier categorization and benefits users if the prefixes are correctly utilized. In regards to genre prefixes, make every attempt to only use one primary genre, instead of adding as many genres as possible. ARPGs, for instance, should be considered ACT, and does not need the RPG tag, though there is no consequence if you add both. Continued breaking of these guidelines, however, may cause the user to be reprimanded.
Exceptions to this are for failure to apply the listed fetish prefixes and the AI Generated prefix. If the game contains these properties and is not properly tagged, it may be subject to thread deletion and/or the user being reprimanded.
Prefixes that fall under the Development Status section can only be used in the Games Under Construction section.
Genre Prefixes
Miscellaneous H-Tags
Fetish Prefixes (If a game contains one of the following fetishes, its corresponding prefix must be applied)
Development Status
8. Do not needlessly bump or necro a thread if you are not requesting nor sharing new information.
Users who make posts in threads with no active discussion must be trying to ascertain or share new information and must explicitly state as such. This includes requests for save files, looking for new updates on a developer, and asking for help about the game. If the post does not appear to have any sort of value, a warning will be given. Subsequent offenses will result in a 3 day ban.
9. If you have 5 images or more in your post, or if the image is considered too large, put them in spoiler tags
To avoid stretching the page, please keep large images or large quantities of images in spoiler tags. Use [ spoiler] [/ spoiler] (without the spaces) to put spoiler tags in.
10. Keep blatantly off-topic chatter to a minimum, especially if it is about a topic that will derail the thread.
Topics can be tangentially relevant to the thread, but if the conversation gets steered towards something unproductive, provocative, or otherwise contributes nothing to or derails the discussion, posts will be deleted and users warned. Subsequent offenses will result in a 3 day ban.
For technical help on translating (text hooking, software issues, etc), either post in the appropriate thread in the Translation section, or, if a thread does not exist there, post in the technical help section. Refrain from having extended conversations regarding how to translate a game yourself in the game thread.
11. Keep discussion in English.
This is a primarily English forum. The occasional translation to different languages, or discussions revolving around different languages is fine, but avoid having entire conversations in a different language. Subsequent offenses will result in a 3 day ban.
All rules are subject to moderator discretion.

Clarifications and addendums:
- Requesting download links of free, abandoned, or otherwise no longer commercially available content is not against the rules. This includes abandonware, demos deleted from DLsite, and demos previously hosted on sites that were closed down. Please provide proof in your post that you cannot obtain this game before making a request, or you will receive a warning
- Requesting reuploads of now-dead links is not against the rules
- Requesting reuploads of links onto different hosting sites is not against the rules
- Requesting unofficial game mods and game patches are not against the rules
- Requesting a save file for a game is not against the rules
- Requesting a translation for a game is not against the rules, though it should be posted in the translation request thread
- Requesting a specific game file due to technical issues is not against the rules
- Requesting for help or instructions on how to download from a hosting site is not against the rules

For example: [月の水企画 / Tsuki-no-Mizu] ナイトメアガールズ / Nightmare Girls (RJ215006)
- If a direct translation to the name does not exist, do not attempt to add a machine translation or make your own title.
- If you're unsure about what to put as the title, just default to the original language, with the original name
- Thread title must have appropriately attached prefixes to it.
- If the thread title gets too long, trim down as needed. The base necessity for a thread title is
- [Author's Name in native language] Title of game in native language
Thread OP must contain the minimum information, though you are encouraged to add as much information as you'd like:
- Link to source of the game’s information (DLSite, blog, etc)

6. Modifications or large additions to games are allowed their own thread.
The base game should already contain adult content to be allowed on the H-Games section; otherwise, it should be kept in the General Discussion section. These threads must still follow OP standards. Games that fall under this definition are:
- Official localization
- Official DLC to games
- Official and unofficial mods to games
- Different iterations/versions of a game that utilize a core base game. They could even be developed by different people (Examples include the Legend of Krystal games and the different ROA versions)
- Note that this is not a requirement. If you wish to discuss these topics in the base game's thread, you are free to do so.

Prefixes that fall under the Development Status section can only be used in the Games Under Construction section.
Genre Prefixes
ACT - A game that requires real-time input and real-time responses to events in game and usually have a heavier emphasis on mechanical skill. Games like side-scrollers, platformers, and beat-'em-ups are considered action.
ADV - A game that does not emphasis realtime input and response, but does not utilize RPG elements as a core element in gameplay. Usually has a plot involving adventures, and usually has characteristics that fall under other prefixes. Games like strategy, tower defense, and complex VNs (Sengoku Rance, for instance) would fit under here.
RPG - A game that has traditional RPG elements as its core gameplay. Dungeon crawler-type RPGs (Such as Raidy) and strategic RPGs (such as Fujuhime) fall under this as well. Note that a game that runs the RPG Maker or Wolf engine does not necessarily fall under the RPG prefix.
SIM - A game that puts player in a position that allows them to take part in a realistic, detailed, or otherwise focused gameplay on one aspect of a given scenario. Games that would fall under this prefix include interactive touch games, SLGs, management games, and dress up games.
PUZ - A game that primarily places players in scenarios that utilizes puzzle solving, logical thinking, or otherwise has the player overcoming challenges in a slower paced, thinking environment. This can range from traditional puzzles, like jigsaws and sudoku, to logic puzzles such as escape-the-room and word puzzles like riddles.
FGT - A game that focuses on pitting two entities (two players, two AI, player and AI) against each other with the usually standard goal of reducing a life bar to zero by attacking each other. Fighting game systems are similar to action, but their engines usually focus more on higher mechanical skill to perform attacks, as well as pattern recognition of the opponent's tendencies. Smash is not a fighting game.
VN/TEXT - A basic text only, or text + CG (eroge novel) game. If the game implements more complex features or is otherwise introducing actual gameplay elements beyond click-to-advance storytelling, then it doesn't belong here.
ADV - A game that does not emphasis realtime input and response, but does not utilize RPG elements as a core element in gameplay. Usually has a plot involving adventures, and usually has characteristics that fall under other prefixes. Games like strategy, tower defense, and complex VNs (Sengoku Rance, for instance) would fit under here.

AI Generated - A game that utilizes AI generation for a majority of their assets. This includes AI generated art that has been edited post-production.
