>>172310510
All you need is 1 of their politicians to sacrifice his career and suggest for the law to be removed

>>172305757
How will it work?

It will probably be in the second or third week of April so I have plenty of time to arrange aesthetics.

A lot of players have been suggested but not so many have been nominated for sacking. But opening up 23 spots for votes seems a bit too complicated.

What I'll do is pick 10 players currently in the roster and combine them with nominated players and have voters pick 10 players.

The 10 with the most votes will get in and if there is a tiebreak I'll go with the one with easier aesthetics.
I'll leave write-in spots for name suggestions.

Medal positions will remain the same as they are now unless people want to change that up. I don't want that to become a waifu thing and I think the current four reflect the general quite well.

>>172310510
Still better than banning porn or drawing of loli and shota.
Japaness censorship is just for the principle and doesn't hurt porn industry at least.

Awh, I have to rewrite the whole name generator for FFA. The way SR does it is determine last name first, based on country. Then, without passing the country as an argument, get a name based on the gender forced upon the unit by the program.
I'll rewrite it so it goes in Western name order (excluding Japanese - they get Orientalized), and first names associate with assigned gender. Hue.

This sounds a lot like the video games industry before the Atari crash. So much crap released for a quick buck that consumer confidence goes down the drain.

Then again, Japanese, esp. the demographic who like eroge, are known for being cynical and pessimistic, so maybe they're just overreacting.

>>172317093
I know for a fact that someone new is going to step forward to manage.

I'll leave it to them to bring it up with /mggg/ though.

>>172317658
The solution is jsut to increase the quality.
Good titles will still sells.

>>172317658
Its not really crap but its creating a lot of different options for people to buy, especially those that just want a quick fap.

The eroge market is also quite static and small in size and only has a limited amount of money going around. Its why so many companies now are interested in the West compared to the past.

>>172318873
Problem is, I don't think the low-effort products are the cause of a downturn in the industry, I think they're a symptom. What >>172318941 says is probably right, the market may simply be shrinking, or not growing as fast as it used to be. It could also be a product of Japan's recent shift to smartphone culture and mobile gaming causing an overall downturn in home gaming, whether that's console or PC. Add to that sociage eating into the market and poor performance from other companies causing shockwaves (recent example, Techarts closing down), and you get a contracting industry.

>>172318941
I think you're absolutely right, at first I thought it was just a convenient coincidence years ago that fan translation had started to give way to official localizations but now I realize it's part of a concerted shift of eroge/galge companies toward the West as a source of revenue. Once I saw Illusion releasing a product on Steam I knew it was something unprecedented.

>>172320794
Plus the market is far more internet savy than mainstream video games so basically everyone knows how to pirate games.

And the only growth you get is from young people moving up and getting into it but that's probably equally matched by people gradually growing out of it.
And for a company like Alicesoft, new youngsters won't have the same attachment to the company due to games from over a decade ago like Sengoku Rance.

But at least they recognise the problem. Eushully on the other hand are really digging themselves a grave in my opinion.

>>172321325
>Eushully on the other hand are really digging themselves a grave in my opinion.
How so? Other than making failure after failure

>>172321448
They are actively rejecting the prospect of engaging with the Western market.

Ignoring approaches or waiting and seeing is one thing but responding by "fuck off, move to Japan if you want to play our games" is not a good business move.

>>172320323
I still want to think that Nagi's Rizna-print swimwear means that she will be in it too. Of course, that might be an obvious inclusion due to her spell immunity making her a perfect fit to fight RedEye.

I don't want her to become a Dark Lord and become emotionally withdrawn again though.

>>172321791
I'd be rather surprised if they didn't include Rizna, although it wouldn't be the first time Malicesoft has done something rather odd

>>172321325
>Eushully on the other hand are really digging themselves a grave in my opinion.

>>172321791
Just imagine Redeye flipping his shit over Rizna casually shrugging off his spells.
He'll probably die from sheer anger at the whole thing.

>>172324367
I can see a Annis and Rizna team-up against RedEye. Rizna engages him to put his focus on her while Annis just nukes the entire area with her magic.

>>172324589
But they can't damage him unless Annis becomes a demon.
And you don't want her getting MORE powerful.

>>172324715
Like what >>172324832 said, they can just nuke him until the Toushin armour gets destroyed. Leaving him a defenseless gem on the ground.

Apparently he needs a body to actually do magic, so if he was left as a gem, he would really be useless.

I really hope MG skips Sengoku and goes straight to Quest.
Since they jumped straight to 5D and VI at least they seem to be aware of what needs to be done first. I mean wasn't the translation of Quest at a good point already how many years ago now?

Though I also want to see the remakes translated. Actually I'll probably be fluent enough with Japanese by the time X gets translated and I'll re-play the whole series then, so never mind.

I can't quite put a finger on which other Euro country best match Red, Custom, and Ice. I don't want to spam Anglo-Saxon too hard. Italian for Custom, Greek for Red, American for Ice?
I don't really feel quite compelled by any of those pairings. Except maybe Custom and Italy might be a match.

>>172323867
It would be weird if she didn't appear, even if she wasn't fated to Rance and super popular.

>>172336323
Zeth and Leazas don't really strike me as France and England.
Leasus monarchy has more power than in england.
Zeth, beside the whole "corrupted nobility" cliché doesn't have any similarity with France.

AL looks more like Vatican for me, why Israel ?

Just finished Sengoku Rance, and now I want to play from the beginning of the rance series. How do you guys recommend I do it?

>>172337269
The Master Plan was Ludo's to begin with. And it was someone else who actually made it happen.

>>172337487
Definitely recommend doing the Rance I and II digests if you can't read Japanese. They're funny and to the point.

>>172320323
So Lia is a yandere now?

>>172337614
Alright, where can I find these digests?
After that I assume just play the updated games from Rance 3 and on.

>>172320323
I spot a severe lack of Kanami in that pic.
When did she become so competent to be able to hide herself so well?

>>172336726
Completely forgot the architecture of Zeth etc lends itself more to being white India. Caste system too, although heavily simplified I guess. I could do that.

>>172337520
I'm thoroughly convinced by reading modern /haniho/ that Ludo literally didn't do anything himself

>>172336914
I actually like TGM more than Arunaru since she isn't as condescending. At least she won't get some fat schmuck for her char CG.

anyways, going to sleep cy'all later

>>172337891
FAQs, #220.

Actually you could play the remake of II with the original dialogue, see a few lines below. I'd actually recommend doing that because of how important some of the events and characters are, much more so than in I.

>>172338336
Don't forget the ruler of Zeth is SuperGandhi.

The first Rance games are from the 90s. If you can put up with games that look like this then read the digests and then play Rance III.
Otherwise play Rance VI.

>playing the digest

Fucking pussy. If you can't even beat the real Rance I and II you are not worthy of calling yourself a Rance fan.

K-Kanami is a cute and competent ninja!

>>172337891
Rance 03 (remake of III) is in japaness too.

In my opinion, you can easily read what happened in those and then go to Rance 5 or VI

>>172338890
>not having Little Princess and Little Vampire as the real test to consider someone a Rance fan
I'm disgusted.

>>172340378
Honestly, it's nowhere as bad as Little Princess which was completely impossible without a guide.

Rance I could be done in ten minutes if you know what you're doing and that is a complete run (I actually replayed the whole thing again when I found out I missed some stuff). The game is pretty straightforward, with the only real secret being Patty's H-scene.

If the gameplay is completely unbearable, one can play the digest, but I don't think it's impossible to play.

>>172340698
I appreciate good old games.

>>172340698
Hey I did Rance III.
I like old stuff. But supra old point and click are a limit.

>>172340698
But I like Rance III. How can anyone like Rance I?

>>172338890
>Fucking pussy. If you can't even beat the real Rance I and II you are not worthy of calling yourself a Rance fan.
I should be skipped, particularly if you were born in the 90s. 02 at least gets off on being an average game that hasn't aged poorly.

>>172341310
Generic and boring gameplay aside, 02 has a pretty fun dialogue.

Speaking of III, I'm currently up to the Hyper Building and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to fight the urge to climb the entire thing manually. Can anyone dissuade me?

>>172341773
There's an elevator in the 5th floor I think it was.

Is Rance I worth it for the hentai, though?
I'm sure there are still a couple of people here who play rance for H... though, when I play Rance, I can't fap, for some reason

>>172342767
You might have the gays.

>>172342767
I never fapped to Rance. I'm too much in the story to stop and fap.
Though the swapping scene in VI is awesome

>>172342870
yeah, I might be. I was dissapointed that rance and suzaku had no h scene in SR
I think its because Rance is too awesome to fap to. When I have a random boner, I just look at something that interests me, and my focus will shift away and my boner dissapears. I guess I'm too much into the dialogue during h scenes

>>172342767
I as the in original I? Unless you have a really really really big appreciation of the 80s art-style, it's probably not worth it at all.

Personally, I think TT1 is probably the furthest you can go that can interest you enough.

>>172343426
I think I'll play Rance I instead of reading the digest. Just to see how Rance (and the games) evolved over time

>>172342767
>Is Rance I worth it for the hentai, though?
No. It's from the 80s and the general opinion is that the Rance series didn't have good porn until Rance Quest.

Heck, I'm nearly on my fourth month without fapping and even while playing through Rance III at the same time I've not been tempted. Do you have any idea how shit the porn in Rance I must be if a guy in my situation isn't even getting tempted by Rance III?

>>172343698
Sengoku does have a fappable scene here and there.

>>172343596
That's a good mindset.
I did it too. Though I gave up.
The serie really evolved, even at the earlier games. It's quite interressing. The art evolution is nice too.

You could do game history through the Rance serie.

>>172343698
>Heck, I'm nearly on my fourth month without fapping

Now you definitely have the gay.

>>172343596
I did go the SR->I-02->III->IV route and I can say, it is pretty amusing with hindsight and all.

How different Seto Kaiba Rance is and how everything was before they really hammered every aspect of the series out.

>>172343698
Kichikuou is really interressing to do later.
Beside being one of the best game, it's the prototype for the whole serie past the fourth game.

>>172344004
>Now you definitely have the gay.
I may or may not have tried to marry a tranny earlier this month.

>>172323268
Which is probably why Kanami isn't on the pic either.

>>172353058
It depends a lot on how minor you want to go, but it's over 550 on he Rance series alone. Without counting KR only characters which haven't been added to RWN yet.

>>172320323
>Magic now tries to cover her giant forehead

Something's just occurred to me. Rance's Castle is extremely well defended, like to a fucking insane degree. What would it even take to bring the place down?

Fuck it. All of /k/ vs Rance's Castle. Who wins?

>>172326361
I'm under the impression that it would be very easy for them to release a new Sengoku Rance translation. I don't know how much text there is in Sengoku Rance, but if they've managed to figure out all the quirks in the system, then the limiting factor is the translator and testers.

>>172354164
That's it, I'll drop Rance. It's been a good ride but this is going beyond what I consider acceptable. Goodbye.

>>172338336
My memories of what Ludo actually did himself here were work on the site he ended up shutting down and posting how he was happy he was at home near his figurines and in his underwear.

>>172340302
Not him, but I can't imagine your robo-unit being anything other than a sentient centrifuge or spectrophotometer.

>>172356304
Speaking of the site why did he shut it down? Fucking asshole.

>>172356692
Arunaru was publicly scrutinizing it for typos for like a week straight.

>>172354013
Well that's impressive, even though we're probably only tanking about appearances.
There's a huge picture on danbooru with 140 names. I guess I'd even consider some of those minor, but even without those it would still be a lot.

>>172355702
It's not that well defended? I mean the Castle Guard is led by Sanakia of all people.

>>172357965
According to wiki anons there's over 600 if you include absolutely every character.

Can't blame him for that

>>172357965
The newest version of that (october 2015) had more than 600 characters.

It also takes in account some non Rance games characters like the Poron game and the Patton games.

>>172359067
I don't know where all the Rance 1 hate comes from. The worst translated Alicesoft title is obviously Kaeru Nyo Panyon. It exhibits the spirit of tedium in multiple ways.

>>172364892
I'm not him. I played Rance 1 a week or two after its translation came out back in 2011 or so. One thing I found fun about the whole fan translation process was how much they managed to improve with each subsequent title. At least until Rance 5D where they spent all their budget on Japanese Beat.

I wasn't all that much of a Gundam Seed fan myself. Honestly though, I've only watched the original, the first few episodes of Zeta, Wing, Seed and Seed Destiny. I went through the first few series of Macross and was surprised that Macross 7 came out only a year before Gundam Wing. I thought Macross 7 was from the 80s, but then I read it was made in 1994.

Whoa, was fucking around to get the name generator to work, and I fixed the glitch where FFA freezes when it tries to start.
The name generator works by having a while(true) loop, creating a name, and then checking to make sure that the name doesn't already exist.
Apparently it's possible to have an infinite loop if it can't find a new name.
I simply capped it at 20 loops before it just uses the duplicate.
I tested the simple fix 19 times, and it appears to work.

Do people want me to put up the new AIN file? It should be compatible with previous saves.
Although, it honestly isn't that hard to spam alt-R until FFA boots correctly, so it's hardly a gameplay-changing fix.

That's very easy to guess.

>>172423130
Ahaha, that's what it was.

>>172423839
It doesn't make sense though. There's roughly 500 last names (I simplify some math here) and 45 first names per gender.
There's only 30 generics per country.
There's no reason it shouldn't be able to find a name.

>>172424249
I'm pretty sure this is also the bug that resulted in the leftover JP strings. It was some stupid name generator crash a lot like that. Try replacing an unTLed province name and see if it crashes now.

>>172362575
>I don't know where all the Rance 1 hate comes from.
It comes from the game having aged horribly. Rance I to a 90s kid feels like Little Princess to a 80s kid.

>>172424391
At least on the mod, there's no JP strings for province names or character names. Zero. It might be because SLC has better tools than the original translation team did.

>>172424523
Ah, I was thinking if you were using the original scenario. Still, hopefully we can get that fix out to everyone at some point.

>>172424391
>I'm pretty sure this is also the bug that resulted in the leftover JP strings. It was some stupid name generator crash a lot like that. Try replacing an unTLed province name and see if it crashes now.
This sounds right, people have told me that the glitch doesn't exist in the original Jap version. Can anyone confirm that?

Here's a prepatched version of STB. Didn't actually have one prepatched, so I just did it with the original I had.

I need to trigger it as "counterattack" damage though so that the numbers actually scroll correctly. It works for friendly fire but not self-damage.
