Kill yourself.

being an eop is suffering these days. I can't even get excited seeing green because I know 90% chance it's machine translation. why do people let fuwatards get away with this? they're like anti-matter for translations.

The number of evangile wallscroll bundles has dropped from 30 to 23, and it has moved to the second spot on hardcopy sales chart. Est hardcopy sales for entire week 18-26.

Although a surprisingly large fraction of anonymous appear to have bought yurirei, Haruka is beating it in preorders if the popularity sort is to be believed.

>>Hara Miko Shimai - Released

Any comparison screenshots made already. I want to see the mistakes.

>>14661499
Don't bully Loe.

Seinarukana soon!

Mangagamer appears to have taken on some new translators as neither the evangile fandisk nor pygmalion appear to be being done by any of the usual suspects.

I have a feeling conjueror's next next project is a mangagamer project as well given his shilling, which is something that allows one to narrow down that bizarre tournament of his a fair deal.

And of course, all of the usual suspects themselves are finishing up something, or will be finishing up something likely before con season. I guess eroge e3'll be something this year.

>>14661483
Well that would match up with Euphoria and the pattern of best selling games being rape/scat. It is funny because it means rapeplay would probably have been among the best translation options the industry could bring here, even though it almost killed the industry.

I guess what feminists wants and porn consumers want is complete opposite. What a surprise!

>>14661574

That statement was more focused on the honest surprise at how much of /jp/ bought yurirei. While Haruka will probably sell fairly well on namepower alone, yurirei will have the power of steam behind it in the end.

>the pattern of best selling games being rape/scat

I have not observed this pattern. While Euphoria has done surprisingly well, I do not believe it to be entirely due to it's selection of content but instead on it's more memetic status.

Rather, instead the pattern of mangagamer's best selling games instead seems to be more a matter of getting on steam. Beyond that, it would appear that having pretty art and a diverse cast of waifus seems to help a title sales wise. With diversity in this instance meaning both tits and atleast one girl that is/borders on loli.

>>14661621
I'm not the least surprised at yurirei sales. People want to tell Valve their steam censorship is shit, and buying Yurirei is the best way to do it. Many people think the games only sell because of Steam, but there are plenty of Steam games that don't sell well at all.

>>14661621
Isn't it just the trend MG has stated themselves? That a title with an anime and with gameplay and sex will outsell other things? It has little to do with body sizes or actual content, just that it hits all the standards for a good seller.

Not to mention that Yurirei really has no claim to fame other then lesbians and tits on steam. It has no anime and isn't really a title anyone has been proclaiming as kamige for years.

It makes complete sense that at least on MG's site, Haruka would sell better as it fits every criteria for selling well.

I see gameplay as a negative in this market. Because there is literally nothing worse than multi route gameplay titles that force you to replay the same levels dozens of times.

But yes, a highly linear with no routes and no options game would be fine with porn. Not sure if Haruka fits that description.

>>14661483
159346 - 2016-01-23, picked up FF2, Haruka and of course, Yurirei.

>>14661502
Pygmalion's being done by BlackDragon or Good_Haro, isn't it? Both just finished their projects and one of them is the one who wanted to do Pygmalion and is the reason it is being brought over, so that would make sense, I just can't remember which one.

>>14661829
That's what you see, but sales rankings disagree with you as to what most want. Any gameplay seems to be enough to make something popular.

>>14661630
Anon, I really admire you for keeping up with this for so long.

>>14661502
>>14661836
It's BDH doing pygmalion. MG has also always had some lesser-known translators who don't expose themselves to public scrutiny much. It's probably one of those doing w happiness.

> have a feeling conjueror's next next project is a mangagamer project
Nope. He already said multiple times that the Japanese company is releasing it themselves and that no other western company is involved.

>>14661836
Definitely BlackDragon. GH doesn't care about anything but BL.

>>14661360
>>Kuroinu - Being released as 3 seperate chapters, 20% TL 18.13% edited
Is that 20% of chapter 1, or 20% in total?

>>14661859
Just chapter 1.

>>14661873
I'm pretty sure she's not exactly enjoying translating it. She rated it like 6 on VNDB, too.

>>14661853
He is ON a project directly from Japanese devs.
He has a POSSIBLE OFFICIAL NEXT PROJECT that is unknown completely, aside from being on the first 48 of his contest. (since he added suggested titles on it later which dont count)

>>14661856
>GH doesn't care about anything but BL.
You're aware that it was GH who translated ultimate boob wars right?

>>14661907
Yes, and? Most first-time MG translators can't afford to be picky.

>>14661929
Considering MG have recently been constrained by lack of TLs, I'm not sure that's true anymore (if ever).

>>14661856

I care about other stuff (fwiw I'm probably the only person at MG who finished reading Fraternite). I've worked on way more non-BL titles so far too. No one else at MG is particularly interested in josei-muke titles though.

But, no, I am not working on Pygmalion.

>>14661941
>josei-muke titles
Do those actually exist outside of handhold devices? Any recommendations that might appeal to men too?

>>14661941
Cool, thanks for the info.

>>14661955
I'm wondering about this too.

>>14661955

Yeah of course. BL is josei-muke and primarily a PC-based genre and there are a number of PC otome games (I mean look at Ozmafia). There are a few 18+ otome games that I could see guys enjoying too and a couple more plot-oriented all-ages ones that people might find interesting. I mean, there are a few BL games I think y'all would enjoy too if you could stop being babbies about a extra few dicks.

Anyway, I've got a few titles I'm gunning for. Hopefully it'll happen, but it's not really up to me.

>Bunny Black 2 - Translation mostly done, beta release

This has been posted as complete and a release date given since the 16th. You've missed updating it twice now.

But at least all the Fuwanovel machine TLs are fastidiously updated.

>>14662286
Where, when i checked the forum there was no release date.

>>14662327
>I'm going to give my editor/whoever wants to poke at the images/interface about a week to find any lingering issues. Full release, barring catastrophe, is penciled in for the 26th.

>Not stalking Aroduc's every move
Hah, amateur.

>>14662338
If you want to be pedantic, translation was finished three weeks ago.

>Otherwise all further textual work on my part will be purely reactive to any issues/bugs/errors/typos/etc made. I expect Tolrin's editing pass to be done within a week or two. Once that's finished, it can be released as soon as the image work is done to my satisfaction. The more of that I have to do myself, the longer it's going to be until that point.

>>14661483
>Although a surprisingly large fraction of anonymous appear to have bought yurirei, Haruka is beating it in preorders if the popularity sort is to be believed.
Not surprising, since most people will likely just wait for Kindred Spirits to come out on Steam.

>>14662361
Sure, which makes it even stranger than Dan or whateverhisnameis forgot to update the chart 3 or 4 times now.

>>14661802
I know some people that are on the fence about Yurirei because of the artstyle and it mostly being a kinetic game like Gahkthun was.

>>14661836
It's BlackDragonHunt and Maria that just finished their projects, Ozmafia hasn't finished translation yet, so Good_Haro has to still be working on it.

>>14661978
I remember there being a Phantom of the Opera otome that I thought looked interesting. Not a usual fan of the genre, but I'd consider checking that one out if translated.

>>14662373
>>14662361
Are you new? Dan88 hates Aroduc ever since the Himegari thing. Seinarukana updates were also posted by him all the time and it was never updated.

>>14662394
What? The only thing I remember from the ''Himegari'' thing is Aroduc dropped it because it was too lewd or some such.

>people are discussing in KS comments about if a physical PS Vita release for Root Double will be possible
>while PS Vita port isn't announced yet
this is sekai professionalism for you

>>14662446

they're probably trying to heavily imply a Vita port without actually promising it in the campaign so that they're not actually obligated to deliver if things don't work out

>>14662472
That's exactly what they're doing. They italicized the letters for "ps vita" in the KS text. That way, they can hint at it without getting caught in another broken promise.

>>14662446
Looks like Sekai changed the description for the game.

>From the makers of Ever17, one of the highly acclaimed Visual Novels, comes a title called Root Double which wants to release on Steam!

>>14662439
One of his editors told Tinfoil he was working on Himegari while he was working on Duel Savior, so Tinfoil tweeted that it was Himegari and posted it on vntls.org, which propagated around. It never was Himegari.

>>14662485
They should really just cut out those sekai fuckers out of the whole thing already.

>>14662485
>which wants to release on Steam

>>14662487
Sure, but Dan isn't Tinfoil, the VNTLS guy is long gone.

>>14662485
lel

>>14661941
>I'm probably the only person at MG who finished reading Fraternite

Next Clockup title by MG ? I hope so because Maggot bait is terrible.

>>14662771
Eromanga probably. I hope for Mako Hunter or that hypnosis game(the name escapes me).

>>14662771
I hope it's https://vndb.org/v7805.

>>14662794
Ingyaku no Gakuen ?

>>14662812
This one seems funny and cool anon but if i have to make a choice i would choose https://vndb.org/v10948 but it's impossible because the girls are too busty or old "milf" for MG customers.

>>14662817
This one: https://vndb.org/v2225

Apparently it's not from main Clock Up team(but artist is Hamashima Shigeo) and relatively old, so it has low chance.

>>14662827
Hmm. It shares characters with Eroge and Eromanga, so I wonder if they'd want to do Eromanga first, even though this one came out first.

>>14662864
Too old. If MG pick a new ClockUp title it'll be Eromanga! because it's recent and there is a hentai anime adaptation. Or maybe Fraternite because it's in the same style as Euphoria and i heard Euphoria did great sales wise.

>>14662771
I think something from https://vndb.org/v1061 and on would be good. https://vndb.org/v5100 look like the best of their older works. It will probably be something more recent though.

>>14662886
The said that euphoria likely did well because it had a sizable female fan base and people defending it for being art. They're concerned that those things might not translate to other similar works.

>>14662886
A 2012 release is not too old. They've released games from 2006-2008.

>>14662937
I know but if you look at their last releases you can see that they want to focus on recent title with appealing art and chara-design. Erotsuma! looks old if you compare with Eroge! or Eromanga! even if they are from the same "setting".

>>14662931
Euphoria did great because the anime adaptation is really popular in the west. Hamashima Shigeo art is gorgeous too.

Lol, Sekai Project's Vita hail mary for Root Double is restricted to $225 or more tiers and will take at least an extra year to release. RIP Root Double Kickstarter.

>>14662485
And it'll cost them no extra money or development time too! Wow!

>>14663103
Did they ever get approval from Sony for any vita port they promised?

>>14663126

sounds like they just got the greenlight from the devs, not any kind of sony approval

>>14663126
Wait nevermind, it says they did. Though dovac is a known liar.

>>14663126
They claim they have Sony approval for Root Double. But who knows if you can really believe them after all that bullshit they put out about how it took them almost 2 years to push paperwork through Sony.

>>14663159
And you know they'll just wait until 2017 before announcing that it's harder than they thought, then in 2018, announcing that it won't be happening after all, but anybody who wants a refund can have $40 of their pledge back.

>>14663159
I've seen it happen for another dev. And that dev delayed the PC version to release at the same time as the Vita version. I had to wait ages for a finished game.

>>14663176
If they get their money back did they just waste theirs and everyone else's time?

>>14663190
Only the theoretical cost of the Vita game out of the $200+.

They get to keep the rest to go into Dovac's vault so he can swim around in like Scrooge McDuck.

>>14663190
They won't get any money because this Kickstarter is going to fail. The Vita was their last hope, but now it's dead with how poorly they delivered on it.

>>14663212
Has SP ever even delivered on a promised vita port for any of their kickstarters yet?

>>14663223
Nope. They've claimed that they have finally made progress but have offered nothing concrete.

>>14663231
Remember when they announced that the patch they were about to release for WAS had all the voice acting that was the entire point of the Kickstarter, then a month later, announced that the recording hadn't even been started yet?

Promise anything to get their money in your pocket. When it comes time to deliver, blame the devs.

It's served them well so far.

Takumi Nakazawa just has the worst of luck. Zero Escape series becomes massively popular in the West even though it steals all of its twists from his earlier works, with Uchikoshi entering popular perception as the creator of the infinity series (while nobody has heard of the arguably more influential Nakazawa) while Nakazawa's post-infinity works remain really obscure here, then his game almost gets cancelled because of a nuclear disaster, and when he gets the chance to release something in the West, Sekai Project royally screws up the Kickstarter.

>>14663774
Same for the Lemnisca, too.

lawl where's my popcorn RD train wreck going at full speed to failure

>>14663774
Not just Uchikoshi, Hayashi Naotaka(Chaos Head, Steins Gate) became pretty popular too. He was another KID writer.

>>14663243
They're now blaming the weather for why they can't ship physical goods for WAS yet. The California weather.

>Nov 6
>Physical goods are on their way, we're going to have them ready to ship before the holidays

>Dec 8
>Physical goods have arrived, we're ready to start shipping

>Dec 15
>Actually don't have all the physical goods yet. You have until January 4th to finalize your address and then we'll start shipping.

>January 19
>Physical goods have arrived, again, but not going to ship until it stops raining.

Christ, Sekai Project.

Just got spammed by sekai about a giveaway they're holding. Pledge at least 30 and get entered in to a raffle. Isn't that against the rules? https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prohibited

>>14663943
So report them.

>>14663943
And kickstarter isn't supposed to be used as a pre-order system. Like they really care.

>>14663796

I actually think they're doing better than they were a week ago. If they can manage to keep up their current rate of pledges for the next 8 days, they'll probably actually make it with the final push+them covertly adding a bit to the pot.

>>14663865
Yeah, but Naotaka became popular due to making good new stuff (arguably Chaos;Head took inspiration from Never7, but it's very different). Uchikoshi became popular due to rehashing the stuff he made with Nakazawa, receiving all of the credit for the twists even though he barely did anything new, and in the process completely eclipsed Nakazawa's works in the Western fanbase. Ever17 gets lower ratings due to people already having seen the twists in Zero Escape.

>>14663962
They needed this Vita push to get them at least 15-20k or to raise the baseline. It doesn't look like this has enough legs, they'll be back at doing 1.5k per day soon and they'll fall short.

>>14663978
It's still financially well worth it for them to donate $20k of their own money, 'paying' only $2k to KS fees, to make sure they get the $90k that they sure as shit wouldn't make with a normal release.

They also won't need to fulfill those high rewards since it's themselves.

>>14663943
While I doubt Kickstarter is happy with this, the linked page just implies that the campaign itself may not be a raffle or contest. What Sekai is doing is not really explicitly prohibited.

>>14661630
Until what?

Also, did the amairo islenauts translation die?

>>14664020
Yes, although it was a Fuwalation by random Fuwaists, so it was never really alive to begin with.

>>14664020
The project doesn't have translators. They are begging for them on Fuwa.

>>14663996

It may not be prohibited by Kickstarter but what they're doing would be considered an illegal lottery in the US because they're taking something of value to enter

>>14664071
I can't wait for him to shut down his twitter for the 5th time.

Fucking little drama queen bitch.

>>14664071
It's been some time since dovac closed his twitter after damaging his company's image. How many times did he do it, is anyone keeping count?

Chaos;Head was one of those VNs I had to suffer through to a good ending. Game should have been much shorter and not as much NEET autist simulator.

>>14664098
I thought it was at it's best when it was being a NEET autist simulator.

>>14664098
>NEET autist simulator
That was the best part.

>>14664098
But the ending was the worst part. It was better as a NEET autist simulator.

>>14664098

it went to shit when it stopped being a suspense thriller/autist simulator though

>>14664101
>>14664103
>>14664106
>>14664111
Well this explains its popularity. People only played it for their Autism.

>>14664179
Did you play it for the magical swords and action?

>>14663985
I doubt they have 20k sitting around to just throw at a kickstarter.

>>14664071
I doubt he'd really do this.

>>14664344
Why wouldn't they? You seriously believe Dovac's constantly claims of poverty? Or that they wouldn't put in $20k to immediately get back $90k?

>>14664356
I believe he already blew the money on Star Citizen and doesn't have that much cash on hand at the moment.

>Prizes:

>5 Grand prize winners which include a Physical copy of CLANNAD, Physical copy of The Fruit of Grisaia, and a choice of 2 Steam keys from our pool of released games on Steam.

>20 winners who will get 1 Steam Key from a pool of our released games on Steam.


>How to enter:

>Pledge $30 to our latest Kickstarter Root Double- Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition and you will automatically be entered as long as the email we have on file matches your Kickstarter email! It's that simple! Also this applies to everyone who already pledged! (Unless you unsubscribed from the Newsletter)

This is definitely shady as fuck and against KS rules to promise shit outside the project's scope for backing it having nothing to do with the project.

>>14664425
Everyone report this to KS. Raffles are explicitly prohibited.

https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prohibited

Although that may be what they want so they can relaunch it at a lower number and handwave an excuse.

>>14664456
KS probably wont do shit unless several people report it.

>>14664456
Dovac's too stupid to come up with a plan like that. He no doubt probably honestly though it was a good idea, and 50% chance was planning on 'randomly' giving the prizes to his own people anywaay.

>>14664472
They won't do shit because raffles done off their website are probably not against the letter of the rules.

>>14664472
That's why after I reported it for that, and explained why, and cited why, I encouraged other people to do the same.

Was it that hard to understand? You don't need to back things to report them.

>>14663978

It's still going, I think if sekai can come up with 10k to dump into the campaign at an opportune time, it's gonna happen.

>>14664477
He just sent out an e-mail saying that they 'accidentally' forgot to include that you can also enter for free via letter.

They're flailing.

>>14664566
This is after one of their staff posted on neogaf having no idea at all about and completely ignoring everyone asking what the fuck was up with the raffle.

The most beautiful thing about this statement is the tacit admission that original goal is not for funding the project in the first place. Afterall, if the money was doing anything other than being pocketed in the first place, there'd be no room to use it to fund a vita version.

>>14663243
Pretty much describes the ML kickstarter daki illustration delays too
>age delays Japanese release by like 7 months
>degica still claims sample illustrations will only be put back a few weeks

> Sekai makes 9000$ from vita scam tier
I can't believe this shit actually works.
Seems like no delicious RD KS fail drama for us.

>>14664566
Some people emailed sekai threatening them with criminal charges if they don't provide free way to participate. There are some california laws against this kind of raffles if there's no way to participate for free.

>>14665184
Yep, Dovac won. Root Double is probably going to succeed.

>>14665703

Will the desperate measures this required stop them from kickstarting everything in the future?
probably not

>>14665703
Unless enough people report and rule (and law) violation.

>>14665184
some anon claimed to be making donations he was gonna refund on the last day so who knows.

>>14665740

I'm pretty sure you can't do that, it locks pledges in near the end.

>>14665805
You can freeze your card or ask bank to pull out funds if they are reserved.

>>14664071
The desperation is almost palpable.

>>14665184
Do you really believe that there are so many Vita owners willing to shell out $225+ to get a *digital only* game a *year* after everyone else has done reading it on PC already? I'm not saying there are none, but I'm sure it's SP backing themselves out of the failure, like >>14663985 said.

In other news, it's now possible to dump Vita games in decrypted form:
http://hackinformer.com/2016/01/23/dumping-games-apps-without-pfs-protection/
Who's been doing Vita-to-PC voice patch for FHA? There are your voice files.

>We need $135k for 1.5 months development
>We need $0 for a year of Vita development

Is SP allergic to telling the truth?

>>14665909
Well, saying "I need $20k for new image of space ship, $30k for another trip to japan and $100k for gifts to my friends among doujin developers and gaming media" wouldn't help him get projects funded.

Hey haro, if the forums are staying nuked you might consider putting a con schedule up on the blog since anime boston'll be soon and I imagine there's probably something to be announced there?

Unless it's just gonna be a huge showing at AX and Otakon.

>>14665840
Is it not more likely the Vita news caused increased exposure? Kicktraq lists a greatly increased number of backers.

If it doesn't impress even the most devoted of SP shills, I highly doubt that said exposure converts into money at a favorable rate, so to say. Mostly because it's even uncertain whether it was positive to begin with.

Buy Haruka

Yurirei and Haruka

>>14667459
I'm actually a bit surprised by how many people are buying both, since they're totally different genres.

>>14667474
They both have grills getting tenderly loved.

>>14667498
You're not very familiar with Haruka, are you?

>>14667013
My written Japanese sucks and dear old google is giving me some mixed results. Can anyone translate this?

>>14667474
I've stopped being surprised. It seems like regardless of what weird fetish is put out, it sells. Would be nice to see one of those VNs with only boys dressing as girls and watch it sell a ton just to prove my point.

>>14667516
Are you saying Haruka wasn't loved until she was tender?

Anything with scat or guro as a focus is an instant "no" for me. I'm not fond of games that are tentacle rape only either. I like games with a variety of scenes.

>>14667785
I never said it had to sell to you. Just sell the usual average amount.

can't believe that sekai's scam is working people are really stupid to believe they've would be giving them free stuff for a pledge

>>14669044
I thought the raffle thing was a joke some anon made up. If people believed it, then that's on them, though Sekai should probably make a statement telling people it's not true.

>>14669044
They only have to give shit away to 5 people, no need for conspiracy theories about how they won't actually do it.

It's against KS policy.

What's with the sudden increase in $1K pledges? Are they donating to themselves again?

>>14669149
I think KS won't give a shit until you tweet to them. That way it's there for everybody to see. If you just email them, they'll just throw your concerns in the trash.

>>14669462

I do not believe such a confirmation was ever made. In fact, if I recall when asked months ago who was going to be translating evangile, doddler dodged the question.

Which official translators should I support?

I know that Sekai and Denpa are full jew and mostly incompetents, what about the other ones?

>>14670393
support the actual translators, not the companies

>>14670393
MangaGamer and JAST of course. MangaGamer because Doddler is kawaii and JAST because their translators have the patience of saints.

>>14670404
What does that even mean? Translators don't get a cut of game sales.

>>14670496
He means enjo kousai. Dibs on Maria.

>>14670192
is it actually good? I didn't play the first one when it was translated because everyone said the dev was shit compared to alicesoft and eushully. I think the 2nd or 3rd game was supposed to be better, but I don't remember which one it was.

>>14670765
Well it wasn't nearly as good and Kamidori or Sengoku Rance but it was a fun little time waster. Supposedly the second game is much better than the first.

>>14670496
pirate the game then fax them money

After the brief spike from the Vita bullshit, looks like RD's quickly returning to previous pathetic (and deserved) levels.

Can't wait for some ridiculous tier change or similar this weekend as an excuse for Dovac's shell accounts to pump in the money they need.

>>14672616
I mean wouldn't it cost even more money for it to be on the Vita? At minimum, they will have to re-license the voices. So to say that you can get the Vita version at the current price goal is a bit disingenuous.

>>14673024
Yes, obviously. SP lies through their teeth all the time.

I enjoy the 1280x720 embedded video forced to display at 1200x900 myself.

Some grisaia news from herkz:
<herkz> so guys, have you heard about how hard sekai project plans on censoring meikyuu and rakuen?
<herkz> this is unacceptable
<herkz> they're removing "problematic" incest and child porn
<sacredgeo> will the one Learning Anatomy scene near the beginning of meikyuu remain
<herkz> sacredgeo: no, it has been CENSORED
<herkz> and will not appear in the steam release

>>14673763
Why are you posting herkz's unfunny trolling?

>>14673763
herkz supports this kind of stuff because he's a SJW.

>>14673763
If thats true fuck them. Im sure well get a fucking censor patch, they are fan disc games to begin with.

>>14673774
That's not trolling though. SP is releasing Grisaia with all Kazuki, Asako, Julia and so on scenes removed and scenario retconned as if they never happened, which is going to fuck up dynamics between Yuuji and Asako+Julia and leave some things about his personality unexplained or bullshitted. Don't want to even guess what they are going to do with epilogue in Rakuen, Yuuji vs Kazuki standoff was only decent thing there and now its not going to happen.

Herkz is trying to laugh it off by making it look like people care only because of weird fetish porn, but he's not fooling anyone here and issue is very serious.

>>14673836
Is there a source for this?

Moogy was pretty pissed about SP cutting out some stuff for the Steam release of Kajitsu so I can't see him being happy about this.

That being said, Moogy is a sheep who'll probably just go with the flow on how other people in the tlwiki circlejerk feel.

>>14673836
Are you just talking about the stuff that's already been cut from the Vita version?

>>14673763
baitfish.jpg

>>14673857
Moogy is the shepherd, not the sheep

>>14673881
Moogy's old and busted.

Conjueror's the new patron saint of all visual novel translators and visual novel taste. Not a single one of his translations has been released yet, and he refuses to do porn, so he really is just like Moogy.

Embrace the new dick to suck.

Moogy doesn't know Japanese.

>>14673881
You're wrong. Moogy likes to pretend he's a Shepherd, but the guy's got more self-esteem issues than your average /jp/sie. He goes along with the party stance so he can appear as if he's shepherding them, when really he's just being led by the nose.

SP putting in those immediate 1k pledges right after an update.

>>14674004
Heh. They also seemed to have moved the Vita pledge down to the $99 tier. It was a minimum $225 before. They should've just moved it down to $60. Afterall, it doesn't matter the tier when they're not going to keep their promises.

>>14674056
And it doesn't cost them anything to do, apparently, so put it at the $0 tier.

>>14673763

We all knew the steam version was gonna get raped to hell and back, which is why nobody gives a shit that it's "releasing" soon when the real thing is gonna be next year at best.

Still though, herkz is pretty problematic. I wish someone would localize him so he'd appeal to a broader audience.

>>14674080
I bet 18+ versions are going to be released without incest and yuuji-shota molesting. dovac would never risk incurring wrath of western media.

>>14674095
He's already releasing games where you fuck your pet teenage catgirls.

Oh look at that. Root Double just got literally thousands of dollars at the last minute to keep the daily progress looking high.

This is definitely not shady.

>>14674249
2 2k pledges tonight? Totally not shady.

>>14674249
Yep, two 2k backers within an hour or so.

>>14674299
And every night until it ends.

>>14674305
>>14674302
Got to spread the extra $20k out to keep it from being too suspicious after all.

>>14673650

They're just using an off-the-shelf template theme for everything. They don't even bother modifying the header image's positioning so it doesn't look like shit.

>>14674302
And now a 3rd 2k backer. Haha. The KS has gained like 10 new backers but 7k in funds tonight.

>>14674430
It'll get a bump in the last few days, but they need to push it close enough first.

>>14674430

It'll probably make between 20k and 30k in honest pledges in the final push.

>>14674430
There's nothing to really worry about anymore, it's getting funded.

>As for BB3 in the future… even post-behemoth, I wouldn't hold my breath for a number of reasons. The most important one is that SH Chara's engine by default is double-width unicode, so it needs to have some… stuff… hacked to it to make it display English correctly. The hacker who did that for BB1/2 is with MangaGamer now and wasn't returning any messages for fixing the few lingering issues with BB2. I have, however, been told that MG and SHChara have been in touch with each other and they're not totally against it, but not now. Not soon. Not next month. I wouldn't even put bets on this year. But that is a possibility I've heard rumblings of in the future. The point is, until that issue is solved, I'm not going to lift a finger to work on it.

That's interesting

>There's also quite a large chunk of extra text for the replacement scenes and I think maybe some extra stuff, which I got the offer to work on, but declined, so any further delays are totally all my fault. My bad, everyone.

>>14674458
If MG was going to partner with a gameplay company, I would've liked to have seen Astronauts. Demonion has the makings of a successful release. They also have Spocon! ~Sports Wear-Complex~ in their catalog, which I've been interested in since I watch the OVA.

And he's already translated everything he really likes or can't translate it, like Prism Ark.

>Not right now though. Not next. Not the one after that. Most likely not the one after that either (although at least two of those are very short). But maybe some day, if for no other reason than to undercut Sky. Spite can be a decent motivator and without all the chaff, the game’s not tremendously long, although a real project would get the same treatment as Duel Savior with pulling in the best content from all dozen releases…

I can't imagine he'd fan-fic major plot points because he didn't like them.

But let's say you're right. What (presumably game play based) VNs are out there with oodles gratuitous English and foreign references and shit?

According to reddit danganronpa is the most complex vn. Is that true?

>>14676036
No.

>>14673763
If it's only the steam version i don't give a fuck. Problem is that it's going to take so fucking long before they release the 18+ version. I hope it'll leak so i can torrent it day one.

>>14676115
dovac is not going to risk releasing incest and child porn.

>>14675983
Pretty much all of them.

And if you're talking about strategy games that would have lots of foreign shit because they're based on random historical crap, that narrows it down not at all.

>>14676128
Why Denpasoft exist then ? If Sekai plan to release only the all-ages version Meikyuu and Rakuen will bomb hard.

>>14676128
I think he couldn't care less about incest porn. It is everywhere and not even feminists talk about it. He'll just be a regular SJW and refuse to cover child porn.

Which will just make him even less kickstarter funds in the future because people don't tolerate that shit unless they are already SJWs themselves.

Now this is just embarrassing.

>>14676339
Even JAST wouldn't put out an official fully uncensored version of Shiny Days. I don't see dovac taking the risk. I don't see denpa ever doing hardcore games either, since everyone basically knows they're Sekai Project under a different name.

>>14676449
On the other hand that game did so terribly they sold it at 50% off at Christmas Sale. So censorship and game crashing bugs are not the stuff you want to go with unless you want it instantly in a bargain bin.

>>14676470
dovac can't afford to be associated with any questionable releases, since he dreams of getting his games published on consoles. He wants to be mainstream.

>>14676430
What the fuck, Jast?

>>14676374
The last Fire Emblem will be censored in the west because of innuendo about incest.

>>14676449
'Even JAST'? JAST has been known to censor titles in the past. It's more amazing they went on for so long without censoring a title.

And I doubt Meikyuu's 18+ release will be an issue for DenpaSoft. Kajitsu had a little girl (though indeed not canonically underage) have sex with a guy she called 'Papa'. You'd have to try hard to get more controversial than that.

>>14676719
They are never confirmed to be underage. You could argue that due to the circumstances, they're all adults attending their special 'academy' (which I don't think is even ever called a 'high school').

The question about the general level of translations is missleading because if i add SP then the bar will be pretty low.
MG>JS>>>FanT>>>>>>>SP

>>14676901

what is SP? Yeah I know what you mean but I'm fine with a general answer. I will keep that in mind though.

>>14673763
Who cares if it's only for the Steam release?

However, since they're tailoring it for Steamfags it means they're basically rewriting the plot.

Gas them, gas them all.

Though I think the elephant in the room is that Steamfags get their version first while the 18+ one is a total afterthought. SP is awful, I hope they die and the void gets replaced by Mangagamer who seem to be the only vaguely competent folks in the industry.

>>14676901
Sekai Project; they're pretty well know for making "cheap" translations, editing the fan ones and claiming them like "new/improved translations" or releasing VN without without proofreading. Excluding Koest or the guys from Lemisca they level it's a la par with MoeNovel.

Don't be silly. dovac obviously broke into Doddler's place and destroyed his hard drive, because he doesn't want Yurirei on Steam.

>>14677436
I wonder why dovac even bothers with VNs. His kickstarter shows that you can sell shikishi for 4000 dollars in black and white, or 6000 dollars in color. If he just mass produced like 100 of those and sold it would get him 600 000 dollars.

SP wouldn't *quite* be paying for it, the employees would be on paper, which enables them to donate whatever the greatest remaining reward is, so they can to not arouse suspicion, as I doubt that it's against KSes ToS for employees of said corporation to invest in projects, since that would be borderline unenforceable, especially if a larger company was hosting a Kickstarter.

In exchange for the employee backing whatever amount, they'd get the same amount back with some extra, either through raises, stock options, or whatever for 'good performance'. Nothing about this would be on paper.

The ridiculously expensive options for almost anything on Kickstarter always felt like a dev pledge device, to be honest.

On third day, 80 backers pledged $4851.
Today, 43 backers pledged $7505, making it best pledge-per-backer day of campaign. Totally not suspicious.

Comparison of daily funding data.

> http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/mikandijapan/libra-of-the-vampire-princess-visual-novel-english/#chart-daily
> https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/sekaiproject/root-double-before-crime-after-days-xtend-edition/#chart-daily

Compare and contrast. While Libra had a longer funding period, it also had gradual incrementing and decrementing pledges throughout the period. The only massive drops and rises were at the very beginning, and at the very end immediately during the final 7 days, ostensibly when the final week notice is sent out, and from possible additional advertising on Kickstarter for soon-to-be-expired projects. Regardless of the cause that's the important point, that it's the final week that you get a massive spike in donations, in fact, most of the donations actually come in at the end (72k+ was donated in the final 7 days of the Libra Kickstarter, despite it nearly reaching it's goal of 125k beforehand). Essentially, what I'm saying is that Root Double would almost surely be funded even if SP didn't pump any money into it, because almost half of the pledges commonly come at the end unless there's immense hype riding on it (e.g. Muv Luv).

However, looking at the Root Double data seems somewhat unnatural. It starts out fine, ranging all the way to the 24th, but then you have a very strange spike at a zenith, from 1.4k to 9.4k, then a slight drop for two days, then back to 7.5k. It's unnatural, momentum does not work that way, based on the Libra and Muv Luv Kickstarters. Especially since this is right before the final 7 days, which tends to be one of the most inactive periods.

My conclusion is that SP is pumping money into it.

>>14678468
That's a minor expense. The basis that scum use Kickstarter for is for financial security. Doesn't get funded? No security.

Even if Root Double was only 70% funded and SP had to pump 30% into it, it's a minor loss when that 70% may or may not purchase the game if it was released, and if they release the title despite the Kickstarter failing, they'll lose reputation with the public for just looking for a cheap buck on Kickstarter rather than actually using it to fund a project that wouldn't otherwise get funded. Conversely, if they didn't release it, they'd lose reputation with VN publishers for being unreliable and wasting company resources in a tight-margin industry.

The only path to victory for them is ensuring the Kickstarter succeeds, despite the costs, because the alternative is far worse. It's ironic really, that a platform that wealthy jews use for financial security, is also the platform that can and will ruin them.

I'm sure this won't be a disaster

>>14678503
You can tell on the Libra KS when they shilled the hell out of it. In the later half, first bump was themselves and the second bump was MG.

>>14678534
They got really stupid when they raised the goal from the prefundia, now they need to eat these losses just to ensure it gets funded.

They just increased the number of 1K pledges. Thoughts on when it'll be all gone? *wink* *wink*

>>14678568
Not even being subtle anymore.

>>14678534
>Even if Root Double was only 70% funded and SP had to pump 30% into it, it's a minor loss when that 70% may or may not purchase the game if it was released,

That's a weird notion. Why am I willing to pledge on kickstarter but not buy on steam?

>>14676718
Because on steam you already know that if you wait a few months instead of buying now you'll be able to get it cheaper on a sale.

>>14678658
I see what you mean. Yes, it could be a way to secure full price preorders. I suppose the ultimatum (get it funded or else) would have been more convincing if it hadn't been such a quick turnaround

>>14678639

1. Kickstarters are more notable than Steam releases for niche games, and, as I said prior, people would see the subsequent release despite the Kickstarter failing as attempted financial pilfering, and thus being far more likely to resort to piracy, or waiting for the game to be on sale.

2. Sales drive down the cost of the game. If that 70% wanted the game, they'll probably get it at reduced prices, which, on top of the 30% Steam cut (much higher than Kickstarter), means they can lose up to 40% of their profit instead of only 15% or whatever Kickstarter takes. Basically, not every one of that 70% would buy the game immediately, and plenty not at full price.

3. That 70% is 'locked-in'. It's a guaranteed 70% funding, whereas relying on Steam sales is a riskier ordeal and many or may not actually purchase the game, and will not purchase at the same time so the income is far more gradual. This also means there's fewer cashflow issues - SP themselves don't have to forward 135k to handle the game, but rather, only a couple dozen, which means they have money to spare for other projects and won't have to accrue additional debt.

>>14678446
>SP will back it with their own money if need be.
>implying they haven't already done that

Look at the timing the $1k+ tiers were taken.

what is the point of conjuerors poll

>>14678849
Attention

>>14678849
To solidify his position as the new Moogy.

>>14678849
To make fun of EOPs. The VN he's really translating is Senshinkan.

>>14678856
>attention whore
>hasn't released any translations
>EOPs hail as the god of translators
>EOPs hail his taste as the godlike

Yep. Checks out.

fire emblem fates got censored.

Also just finished the chiaya route in rewrite.
I lost some brain cells today, whoever wrote that route should never touch a VN or story again. At least I know romeo didn't write that shit. My friend said her route was the only really bad one and Akane was best, I can tell she will be. He doesn't even know really who wrote her, told him romeo did it ( he didn't read cross channel), he could tell R07 wrote lucia though. My god i wanted to kill myself... but I got through it. I cant wait for some R07 next, I really like lucia. kotori was really well written, thanks to remeo.
I hear akane won the poll a while back.
My friend said he hated shizuru, she won second in the poll though but im guessing thats because she is a loli.

>>14678849
His he really gonna write dies irae, I looked him up and hes actually a pro and has degree's in japanese. I think he might be our savior like ixrec and grisaia guy. I think he might even translate baldr sky based on it making second place. If hes really a pro he might be a fast translator.

Thought I would get some opinions on rewrite. Its got good reviews but I felt a lot of the common route was a waste of time. chiaya really tested my will power, what the fuck was that route. It was shounen shit tier and the pace was just awful. It took way to long for no reason other than being horribly written. Im just glad i got it over with because now I can enjoy the better routes. plus terra and moon should be completely different since romeo wrote it. I have a feeling I will not like shizuru, maybe her route is ok though.

I know im ranting but im a bit high on meds.

I like it here more and started here in 2009, you guys are more likely my age and even know more than me since some of you can read jap.

>>14679031
You're the only 13 year old here.

So, SP rep on neogaf posted that at $99 for vita, they are going to lose money on porting if KS doesn't earn them extra beyond main goal and whole project would depend on sales.
Now dovac actually needs to sell his game and act like proper business instead just scamming people with promises.

>>14679165
It'll be fine they'll just tack that cost on the Aokana kickstarter in the summer.

Why can't /jp/ be this good again?

>So, SP rep on neogaf posted that at $99 for vita, they are going to lose money on porting if KS doesn't earn them extra beyond main goal and whole project would depend on sales.

will be real interesting to see how this all plays out. I can't even tell who is subsidizing who anymore, are the PC players paying for the Vita players or vice-versa?

>>14679401
There's like 70 people in the Vita tiers and a late 2017 release on the Vita isn't likely to sell that much. SP is basically doing this port out of desperation because they need this Kickstarter to succeed.

>>14679380
Because some people here are so easily impressed they think posts like that qualify as "good."

>>14679533
And /jp/ can't even reach that low standard.

>>14679380
Holding that as something to aspire to is the real tragedy here.

>>14679380

Literally who gives a shit about discussing ancient chinese porn games as if they were literature. If you wanna circlejerk about that shit so much, why don't you just go to /vg/vn?

I'll stick to the weekly translation and scene drama thread, thanks.

>>14679380
nobody cares that you read sophocles in high school, anon. you are just conflating the commonsense meaning of the word "tragedy" in everyday language with "greek tragedy".

>>14678493
Who cares ? Keep your machinetl away from this thread.

>>14678849
Making fun of EOP because he will never translate any of these titles and his secret project is crap.

>>14678869
We needed a new moogy. The current one needs to retire and become the CEO of TL-WIKI for publishing fan TLs with official devs in japan.

>>14679466

They even said so as much when people asked them about it. I mean the Vita used to be a stretch goal for other VNs yet suddenly here it was included at no extra cost. I wonder if Vita players on KS are fucking stupid. What they are funding is just the original game.

>>14680899
As people have already said, this just highlights that the original Kickstarter existed for no reason but to fill Dovac's pockets and everything in it was total bullshit.

>>14680903
And now it's costing him money. I wonder how much lower future base goals will get?

Are Narcissu: Iris, Zero, and Sumire worth $30?

where can I download some good eroges in english? I'm new at this.
