I'm slightly curious if mangagamer is going to list their top ten best sellers this year. While they've never failed to do it before, the usual blog tag they use for such things (A Look Back at ....) has already been used with no such ranking for their current promotion. There's also the fact that such a list, if they were to include third parties, would likely have several third party titles pushing out their own. It'd be kind of a shame if this is the year it ends.

As always, this tracker is powered by anonymous like you, so post order numbers if you got em'

Moogy rated it 7.

You are wrong. He rated it 8. Which is quite high by his standards.

Still not in his top 20, and a far cry from "hyped this game as kamige since a long time ago." He's got Natsuyume Yawa ranked higher and when's the last time you've heard literally anybody even mention that?

Also, I wish MG would allow 3 picks from current partners and 3 picks from new partners, because it's possible MG can't partner with those new companies for whatever reason.
>>
>>14515276
The survey was answered by a bunch of retards from god knows where (probably tumblr and or reddit) and top answers were for VNs that were already released from other publishers or something almost impossible like F/SN.
>>
>>14515278
Don't forget the new shit on the block: AJTilley!

>>14515296
MG promised a free Steam key for eden*, which likely lured in Steam users. And at least a few of the major news sites had articles about the survey. Add in social media and fandoms into the mix and you have a recipe for casuals.

>>14515317
Heh, they did a better job advertising this dumb survey than their own games.

A good vn doesn't need cute 2d girls, I guess kanon counts but I read that game for the atmosphere and the odd feeling in the world that intraps you.

I really don't get why you always come back here. It seems like you don't even like this niche for the most part and if you are happy reading books why do you continue to pester us? There are enough great books to fill the rest of your life with great stories, so why do you search here? It's not like any of these big vns are the greatest thing ever. You have a good chance to find something you like even better in conventional books so why are you here? You aren't missing anything by not reading the next big vn. Just leave and never come back, please.

Also, although I asked questions I should explain that they are rhetorical questions. I don't want you to answer them or to explain yourself . Whenever you post, you end up repeating everything you have said in every post before and that is annoying as fuck.

FUCK OFF

Thank you.

No I just moved on to books because I have done everything there ever was Japanese wise ( from 70s anime to when anime got bad and manga, vns). I moved on but the days were I first got on /jp/ back in 2009 never will leave me. they were fun times with people just like me. I come back here to catch up on the vn world. I know there are vns that are actually good left untranslated and I come back after maybe a year or two too see how its going.

You should stop judging games via exhentai galleries.
Story to sex ratio there is closer to moege than nukige, and it works as just some soft rabucome with fetish heroines.
>meh one at that, not sure why'd anyone want it
Mazobutas like you cannot understand proper humor, it seems.
>>
>>14516088
I'm judging games by the text I read, and Ponkotsu Akuma is specifically designed around sex like all nukige are. Some pointless and boring bloat to needlessly stretch the "story" out doesn't change that fact.

It's also listed under nukige in erogamescape. In any case, I wouldn't recommend it either for porn or, god forbid, "story".

I really fucking hate those lying assholes. It'd be one thing if they were actually funding localizations, but they're not. They're just trying to squeeze as much money out of loaded ignorant idiots as they can.

>>14516464
There's nothing wrong with maximizing profits from your commercial products.
Not their fault that market is full of pirating bastarts who aren't going to pay for game unless game is held hostage.
>>
>>14516599
There is when you're lying about it.
>>
>>14516601
No, they are not. Funding localization is not limited to just translating game. It also includes paying license fee, paying people who did negotiations, paying translators and so on.
Just because work is done in advance doesn't mean it should be released for free or cost less than it would if it would be done in proper order.
>>
>>14516614
Hi Dovac. Maybe you should go read the Kickstarter terms and conditions page again before throwing another temper tantrum about being persecuted and ragequitting all social media for the fifth time.
>>
>>14516620
Maybe its you who should read KS ToS. People tried complaining about dovac's projects, and KS staff found no violations of ToS.
>>
>>14516620
Oh boy, it's this retard again who thinks commercial projects aren't allowed on KS.
>>
>>14516642
And I can find copyrighted material on Youtube, which their ToS strictly forbids. That doesn't mean it's not against their ToS. It means their enforcement policy is lax.

>>14516645
Yeah, just because it's explicitly stated to be for non-commercial use in the terms of service, that doesn't mean it's for non-commercial use, right? But then again, you don't actually know what commercial use is. KS doesn't exist to recoup sunk costs. In fact, that's why the ToS specifically says that it's to create something new, not order something that already exists.
>>
>>14516675
That's because copyright violations are only removed when the original creator complains about it, or they set up automatic content detection.

Please tell me how any of the big $100k+ hardware or video game Kickstarters are allowed when they're clearly commercial ventures?

Also, please tell me how you expect to prove that their KS was done after they finished their localization work and solely to recoup those costs. Or are you about to argue that translating a game isn't creating something new and thus translation projects don't belong to KS? Sounds like something you should bring up to KS and report them for, if you really think it's against their rules.

Mikandi seems pretty apt to come shill their kickstarter whereever it's spoken about. I'm kind of tempted to go twit them a link to vntls and see what would happen.
>>
>>14516690
Sure. The projects need funding to exist and be brought to completion. That is the non-commercial part, and why excess funding is expected to go into stretch goals to provide extra work and services, not straight into the makers pockets. Once the project is complete, they are free to use it for whatever commercial purpose they want.

And why would anybody have to prove what they themselves are claiming? They've already said the localization work is done. Even if that's not true, then they're lying about that, and ergo, still fucking liars.

it's sad that right now the worst part of being eop isn't the fact that you have to rely on autists to translate games for you, but the fact that you can't even be sure that it's an actual autist doing the translation and not some retard with babelfish.

Buying something from MG was quite a hassle because of my CC company. They flagged it as suspicious and locked my card down. They claimed they texted me for approval, but didn't have my mobile number on file at the time. I got a call from them this morning to approve the transaction, which I did. I called them back later to make sure everything was okay and they told me my card was still locked down and once it lifted I'd need to redo the transaction. They won't approve international transactions as a rule, but they put a note on my account that MG's payment processor is supposed to be allowed. I hope my next purchase isn't this much of a headache. I might have to call my CC company in advance every time I make a purchase to make sure it goes through.

Why would SP do an any work? They are getting money from idiots who keep funding them regardless of the actual quality when the product is released. They're nicenice when begging for money but once funding is reached, they don't give a shit. Everytime there is a problem, just blame the devs. It's not as if the devs know any English so EOPs have to rely on SP's word.
>>
>>14518074
How the fuck did they even 'accidentally' think all the voicing was done, included in the game, and being uploaded when apparently, the voicing hadn't even been recorded at that point?
>>
>>14518049
And the voice work that is in the game is of poor quality and often sounds like it was done on $5 mics. And none of the audio is normalized so every character speaks at a different volume.
>>
>>14518131
I want the end result of this to be Dovac having to record every character's voice himself, Chaos Wars style.

It's a Fuwalation with a grammatical error on the screenshot they used to announce it. And here's how a couple of their literally SEVEN 'translators' joined.

>may i ask? which part of work that does by the "translator" ?
>actually i am a bit interested to help, but i have no idea how to do it. if i just need to translate a text to text (not extract it from game file and change it as a patch file, or anything that recuired an advanced programing skills) maybe i can help, since i have some free time on my hands.
>well, i am not a native english speaker..... so maybe i will make a grammar error here and there. but if you dont mind, maybe i can help.

He was told not to worry about not knowing English. For translating a game into English.

But don't worry, because they don't know Japanese either.

>Hi, may I know do you guys still need translation help? I'm still in my first year for Japanese but this may be a good opportunity to improve my language.
>>
>>14518917
I think it's really unfair that Fuwa has cornered the market on fuwalations. We should get the struggling students of /jp/ to come together and translate something for shits and giggles.

Milf autist, pls.
There are no milfs in it. You don't want it.

Noble works is better than subahibi so you don't have to worry about it.

It's stuck in editing and hacking.

You can play the 60% partial if you're impatient. I enjoyed that portion tremendously and it lived up to the hype.
>>
>>14518949
If it has a complex story like the infinity series i will like it, which i hear it does. (remember 11 which had older characters and no annoying teenager chicken sandwiches was the masterpiece , never 7 was a beta version of it I felt) I/0 was so complex it was in the "ok its really good but what was this guy on".
I/0 was also fucking depression, not that it had in your face sad moments, it just had that gloomy atmosphere which is ten times worse.
>>
>>14518959
Why would I do that, Also ive seen the translator been in /vn/ general on /vg/ like 2 years ago. and it was like fucking 98% edited then.
he should just fucking finish it.
>>14518954
Whats Noble works about? is it a story based game and complex?
>>
Does subahibi have a female only main character perspective, or does it have a male main character too. Also it sounds up my ally, seems like a complex good story based game. How long is it? Is not like fucking 10 hours right? cant be after how long its taking.

>>14518988
>>14518971
>>14518962
Autist, stop
>>
>>14518971
it was 98% edited through the first pass.
Which was very light.

The second pass required a shitload of changes to make the reading a lot better so the editor killed himself.

Is what everybody on jp wants but, the truth is he got lazy and is now working on something else for money.


Noble works has cute girls. So its already 9/10.

Oh its like 30-50 hrs never mind. girl protags are usually boring in vns sadly because they take on the slow as fuck theme, drinking tea and eating cookies and shit.
Books are another story.

I loved the female narration in Gahkthun trial. Can't wait for the release. Anyone knows what time it's out?

Im talking about anime/vn female protags, they are just fucking boring every time. and then you have to sit through the slow ass paced theme and whatever you get with a female anime girl.
While males seem to have a lot of different personalities. I will agree the "white knight" ones are the worst. but we do get some good ones. key protags are fun and very human and nitroplus have a shitton of good ones.

I wish he was a joke. I really do.
>>
>>14518933
Good times. I remember the poor souls that tried to help and correct it, and the main fuwalator always reverted changes because the words became something that wasn't in his electronic dictionary.

If you're fighting dragons in Tomorrowland, you're not on anybody's route yet.

Nozomi's is bad, but at least her last boss isn't as terrible as Ruputna/Naya/Katima's, but her 'route' is completely identical to theirs in every single way right up until the last boss and then a spectacularly shitty ending that is only surpassed in badness by Ruputna's.

I don't know the context, but that's just an expression Japanese use to express they're going to do their best. It doesn't have to be taken literally, and gives a slightly different nuance when in English (sounds exaggerated and thus more usually that not goofy).

That translation seems legit, and done by people who know what they're doing (unless they're somehow literally discussing putting their lives on the line, which definitely doesn't seem to be the case from that phrasing).
>>
>>14519358
Ruputna and Nozomi's ending legit pissed me off. They were such unbelievably bullshit cop outs.
>>
>>14519456
None of the subheroine endings make any sense at all next to each other. It was obvious that Satsuki and a small part of Nozomi were the only ones actually written by the time it came for release.

It's been a month since that quick Russian patch and it doesn't look like anyone is still working on it. Surprised there isn't a Fuwa project to restore it yet. Or maybe they think it'll be C&D by Fruitbat which they already did for the Mediafire link hosting the Russian's patch.

It's too bad, because the KS model totally works for actually getting people to buy your shit and even charging more for those who can spend.

I don't think Steam is necessarily a win though. I even noticed Sound of Drop was getting a decent amount of news articles and a handful of reviews. However, it doesn't really have that many owners on Steam in the end
>>
>>14520133
Not even close to what I meant.
>>
>>14520141

Seems to be once a day/once every two days, but I was more talking about absolutes. While I'm sure(or more like, I certainly hope) it'll chart now that it's formally gone on sale(though probably not for too longer sadly), You'd think it would at least manage to sneak onto there with people grabbing that preorder discount at the last moment, but nope. Meanwhile sale evangile did instead and sakura santa immediately claimed number one.

You really gotta get it on steam. I know doddles has said things aren't really being looked at on that front, but it seems pretty grim otherwise.

2k+ owners is still more than most VNs not on Steam could ever hope to achieve.
>>
>>14520182

For 9 dollars? In terms of raw profit that's probably about even.
>>
>>14520201
It's also a short doujin game much less expensive to license and localize, so they've probably come out alright from it.
>>
Gahkthun uploaded yet?

lol jokes

lol jokes piracy is not a joke

rip gahkthun and its DRM free ness.
>>
>>14520113
I think the simple truth is that 10 dollar VNs sell instantly because it is small time money you can spend even if you won't play the game for 5 years (due to backlogs). But a 50 dollar VN you may as well wait 5 years and buy the day you are going to play it.

>>14519308
You have people who argue that the Michiru fandisc translation that wasn't done by koestl will likely be preferable to his because it tried to match the Japanese text better. You also get idiots who think the original Clannad translation was better than the one that Sekai put out.

>>14520134
Everything on the top 5 chart is $11.95 or cheaper. I'm glad to see Higurashi and SonoHana doing well, but the rest of the chart is disappointing.

I'd be surprised if they don't start intentionally licensing games that already have all-ages versions, or could easily make all-ages, like Cho Dengeki Stryker.

One more for the Gahkthun order numbers.

Order Number - 107660
Order Date - 2015-12-23

>>14520150
Sound of Drop is a doujin game though, and based on the reviews I read, it has some issues that aren't addressed unless you complete all the other routes and unlock the new route that was created later.

I think the consensus was "equally bad". As in they took the bad translation "edited" and had their new futanovel quality result.
>>
>>14521423
> I'd be surprised if they don't start intentionally licensing games that already have all-ages versions
But they already started. Because of this they picked up Propeller all-age kusoge instead of their really good games.
>>
>>14521525
Tokyo Babel is a well-regarded game, while Pygmalion is generally considered average at best. The only Propeller kusoge I can think of is Sougeki no Jaeger.
>>
>>14521515
No, this is what people imagined was the case before it released and it isn't the reality of it.
>>
>>14521681
Except it's obviously the same translation, so that's exactly what it is.
>>
>>14521693
>>14521681
Japanese and English are far too different for two translators to go through hundreds of lines and come out with the exact same interpretation for every single one of them except for the very few that have hugely incorrect errors in them.

It's cleaned up, and occasionally fixed, which are both generally good things, but I'd say that they cleaned it up with the intent of coming off as flowery as possible, which is immature and dumb. But it's definitely the same translation and appears that all their translators did was a cursory tl check, not actually retranslate it.

I'm also interested in the torrent, if only to see whether they fixed WinXP compatibility issue demonstrated by, uh, trial.
As for the (lack of) DRM on Gahkthun, I think they did the right thing with it because a) their DRM is horribly inefficient at everything except annoying their own customers (anyone with a basic knowledge of Olly/IDA can remove it in a few minutes) and b) high-profile game such as this one would have been cracked on the release/upload day either way.
It could work for their nukige titles though, since people aren't that interested in uploading let alone cracking them and I doubt that nukige lovers care about DRM much.

Why did they have to use "Release" instead of "Game"? My autism can't handle the conflict between what I like and what I consider to be a successful game. I guess I'll have to vote twice.

Speaking of Gahkthun, Koestl's apparently now Ixrec's assistant, alongside Gabgrave, one of the machine translators from Fuwanovel.

What the fuck, Koestl? I guess a few bucks and any fan tl will get on their knees and start sucking dicks alongside Fuwagarbage.

Yeah, but it goes in order of the titles listed below, so people shouldn't be able to mix up which title is which.

I opted for that phrasing because while we released them in 2015, they were originally released earlier and it felt a little weird to call them "2015 games" (to me at least).

Following that logic, "Best Release of 2015" also includes "Best 3rd Party Release of 2015". I'd be completely fine with "Your Favorite Game of 2015 (1st party)" and "..(3rd party)", which seems to be what you want to know anyway.

About anime speedsub level. He makes a ton of stupid mistakes since he goes so fast, and if you look at the scripts he releases, there are tons of comments like "I don't know what this is so I made something up lol" for terms that are easily Googled. It's exacerbated by his English writing being below average, but that's to be expected for someone who thinks prose isn't a part of good writing, only things like plot twists, uniqueness of setting, and the amount of exposition vs description.

Well, you do own the game after all. Thanks for the effort, it should run on WinXP now as promised.

Kouryuu's really started to speed up. If his pace continues and/or speeds up as he nears the end, and editing continues in tandem, and the insertion is being done inhouse, it could theoretically happen as a december release.

He was probably just dedicating most of his time to managing MG, as you can't possibly be this slow if you translate at a stable pace.

Some more indepth information for Gahkthun

Gahktun on sale

11/15
Gahktun charts at number 3,
>102249

11/22
Gahkhtun disappears from charts

-fucking nothing-

12/23
Gahktun charts at number 2

For the initial preorder period where gahkthun first charted, your numbers are
11/12/15 101897
11/17/15 102397
11/27/15 103449
If we assume the top 5 makes up 75% of mangagamers sales, and distribute the numbers as
1: 25%
2: 20%
3: 15%
4: 10%
5: 5%
This gives gahkthun 232 sales for initial preorder rush.
From the period of of
11/27/15 103449
to
12/22/15 107541
If we give gahkthun 5% of sales(since most of the time, I'd assume it was near number 6) despite not charting we have 204 sales

Finally, if we give gahkthun 20% of 107660-107541, we have 23 sales.

This leaves us 459 sales. If we assume that sales will hold steady for the week and show similar numbers to the preorders, I estimate the final showing will be 650 sales. In the end, a similar performance to KnS2. As far I know, 500ish tends to be the breakeven point for most titles in this class, so at least it was not a failure.

Shiny Days Content Restore Patch for 1.01e JAST USA Edition
------------------------------------------------------------

Easy Method
1. Extract patch folder to Shiny Days game folder e.g. C:\SHINYDAYS\patch
2. Run patch.cmd from inside the patch folder

Manual Method
1. Extract to a temporary folder
2. Open Command Prompt to said temporary folder
3. Use the command xdelta.exe -d -s <shinydayspath>\<file you are patching> <patchfile>.xdelta <a temporary folder>
4. Copy all patched files from the temporary folder back into the Shiny Days game folder

These patches work ONLY with Shiny Days 1.01e. Make sure you patched up the original game first before trying to use these patches or they will fail.

It was weird setting it to win98 support, but the original exe they gave us was compiled for that platform (the engine is very old), and the updated exe they gave us with custom font support was nearly the same, so I just switched it back to the old OS version. It probably won't run because they probably use API's limited to XP+ related to font handling, but at least it should support all promised platforms.

MG needs to advertise more effectively. Pic related.

I'm not sure there is a cure for stupidity. The guy seems to think everything is released on Steam through kickstarters.

If he bought anything from MG on Steam then he should know they're a publisher. If he doesn't even know who they are, then why did he even vote in the poll? Maybe he's one of the people that thinks that erogedownload admin translates all of the games on the site.

Yes. That is the majority of VN audience. The same audience who thinks that if half the sentences are in passable English, it couldn't have possibly be machine translated.

That's is the LN audience who likes shitty mtl

>>14525657
It's both.

It's very easy to not notice publishers on Steam. They're not exactly listed prominently.

Got a feeling that JAST is gonna stop translating VNs next 5-10 years when they've released their current projects. Farewell Nitro+...

So in Gahkthun, apparently a bunch of voices stop working if you get too far in the game.

Fantastic QC from MG as always.

They already released a patch for that.

In other news, Noble Works full TL just released

As much as you can call any Fuwanovel garbage a translation.

Despite all the denying, it was predicted so many times here. Kinda obvious with all that wink-wink going on and sudden hiatus for completed project.

And there were no fan translators left, only Fuwa.

>>14526247
Fuwa works for MG and SP already.

There is only one thing I can do about this. Hit google translate and make my own translations, with hookers and black jack.
