Got my copy of Maitetsu. Unfortunately I don't have a drive to put the disc in so I'll just have to buy one or wait and download it with the rest of you guys. Need to finish Natsuha's route anyway, so probably won't be starting it for a few weeks (will be busy playing SO5 when it is out next thurs).

Got it at Sofmap, first time buying an eroge. The bag they give you has advertisements for Floral Flowlove and 千恋＊万花 (they ask you if you are OK with that bag). Then it seems they put in a bunch of other advertisements in it, got a 15 page full colour "First Review Book" for ナツイロココロログ, a 恋クマ FD bookmark and some other stuff.

Considering the contents of what I've got I can say that I'm glad I live half the world away from my family. Now to decide where to put things, will have to avoid having loli nipples in plain site or I'll end up just spending all my time fapping.

Ended up getting another clear file in the lottery. Wonder if I'll ever get a decent prize.

Is this a nukige or what? It should make up if it wants to be a scenario-ge or a nukige.

You can change it to one of a dozen others if you want, but I don't see a need to.

>>14972865
It's definitely not a nukige. The number of h-scenes is pretty normal moege territory.

Maitetsu has a L.A.C. card, uses a service called buddy.

http://www.lose.jp/official/buddymanual

>>14972953
Any chance you could put it on mega?
It's not traceable

>>14972996
Unfortunately it uses Buddy, so you'll need a L.A.C. code to play it even if you do download it.

Anyone can access the download link, anyway (or so I think)
http://183.182.44.212/dl_card/lose/01/01/download.html

>>14973021
Does the game access buddy everytime or only for the installation?
Because otherwise the easy way would be to simply share the game folder

>>14973030
Buddy is hardware-bound, it needs re-activation on different PC.

>>14973030
It runs buddy every time.

The Maitetsu disc itself has no protection at all, so you just need to wait for one of the uploaders to get their hands on it.

He's not wrong, but considering how piracy works, he should focus on preventing it on his own side - making good games and giving good extras.

Why do you think Lose had a super long line for Maitetsu's lottery event? Because they made buying it worth it.

And besides, I don't think Akabeisoft president can cry too much, Hatarakaku Otona was the best seller in January, wasn't it?

Pretty much this. The best form of DRM for me is making a product that's actually worth buying and supporting the company over. Putting "uncrackable" DRM on a mediocre moege I'm unlikely to spend much money (if any money) on just makes me read something else instead, not buy it.

>>14973386
>You didn't miss much but it was a pleasure talking to the staff there during the autograph signing.

I already had a chance to talk to the writer before on a different event, which was pretty nice.

Was the producer (to-san) also on your event? He certainly doesn't look like someone I'd guess works in the eroge industry.

All this hype around Maitetsu has really driven it home that "moe" makes me really uncomfortable. Everyone's hype about Maitetsu, and it looks really good... but I just can't bring myself to read it, because the vast majority of it is the same manufactured moe and pandering in every other moe game, you know? I'm not above moe, I'm not too smart for it or cultured or whatever, it just makes me uncomfortable. To read a novel where the characters are designed from ground up to be cute and appeal to people looking for cute. To read a novel written primarily to serve as a medium to railroad the reader through moe scenes and then tidily hand them H-scenes. It feels so fake, I can't get behind it. Maybe it's just that I've read SO MANY moe games now, that I can't see Maitetsu as anything but as a teenager might see a mall santa: Good in heart, but commercial and fake through and through.

It took years of playing them, but now, moe games are no longer sources of cute heartwarming friendship, but manufactured discomfort, to me.

>>14973408
Don't almost all VNs have moe elements?

>>14973403
>Was the producer (to-san) also on your event?

He just stayed in the back of the audience. Probably seeing as the writer, the VAs, and the artist seemed to be the main focus of the event.

>>14973408
>Good in heart, but commercial and fake through and through.
Good thing I see myself as a teenager might see a mall santa. Maybe you're just burned out. Nothing wrong with commercial because that's about every industry ever. Also have you at least tried the trial?

I just wish all the developers would just put their games on DL sites.
I wouldn't mind paying for Maitetsu really but fuck importing it in my country, I don't want to go to jail

At least Akeiro and Jeanne are in DMM so I can buy them

>>14973021
You could try replacing the protected .exe with one from the trial or monobeno. It might work, I know it does for some games because VN engines are like that.

>>14973408
I understand what you mean, although I haven't read Maitetsu yet. Before I used to read and watch moe stuff without any issues, but as of late it doesn't really inspire that "moe" protective, heart-warming feeling in me anymore even if they look cute. Maybe because the majority of the time they don't feel like actual characters but just a bunch of traits thrown together to appease otaku (note I'm not saying there's anything wrong with appealing to them). But for me to grow close to characters they have to have personality, which a lot of these moe characters tend to lack.

>>14973386
Feel like uploading the exe+sig to see if that's enough to run the DL version from >>14973021 ?

>>14973432
>Nothing wrong with commercial because that's about every industry ever.
Ahhh, well, I see what you mean, just about every VN is sold after all, but there's a lot of VNs I see and don't get this "fake" feeling at all. VNs that do seem they were written as artistic expression first and foremost, or at least the expression was morphed to be commercial but didn't become fake moe to hook buyers.
>Also have you at least tried the trial?
I got some ways into it but I couldn't finish it, like I said, felt really uncomfortable before I even downloaded it.
>>14973431
The distinction I'm seeing is "characters made to be moe in a game about moe" vs "characters with a primary narrative purpose being moe at points in the narrative". I don't think you could look at Maitetsu and say that the characters were designed with a narrative in mind. I think Maitetsu may end up having a strong narrative, will have to wait for the full game, but even then it'd be a strong narrative drenched in manufactured moe constantly taking the spotlight.
>>14973459
>Maybe because the majority of the time they don't feel like actual characters but just a bunch of traits thrown together to appease otaku
I know exactly what you mean. Putting aside actually high quality games like Maitetsu, mass-produced moe games are seriously pathetic in characterization. They're almost indistinguishable from nukige, that's how bad it gets.

>>14973486
I think it's interesting how Maitetsu had merchandise up even before we knew the plot, characters, or even the title of the game itself. I felt kind of uncomfortable at that, like they were already whoring out their characters.

>>14973517
They were selling based on trust Lose earned from Monobeno -happy end-.

August is also selling tapestries with Sen no Hatou characters already.

>>14973524
I remember an anon here buying the tapestry for his Sen no Hatou waifu. When asked how he knew she was going to be his favourite, he responded that he could already tell what her character would be just from her design. That really struck me.

I also think it's a bit meaningful, that the trust Lose earned went to purchased anime girl merchandise, I kind of feel like that's what I mean, that Maitetsu is more "cute anime girl merchandise" than a meaningful story with meaningful characters.

>>14973540
>Maitetsu is more "cute anime girl merchandise" than a meaningful story with meaningful characters.

Maitetsu is the writer's tract on his love for railroads and trains. And the artist's picture tract on his love for lolis and pissing.

And yes, I firmly believe Hotori-chan will be the best Sen no Hatou girl, but in the end I abstained from getting her tapestry just yet. Surely there'll be a better chance on summer Comiket.

>>14973540
We will see. Maitetsu looks like it's going to be good but I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as I did monobeno, part of the reason being what you stated above, even if the girls themselves are appealing and the story is interesting.

>>14973524
They haven't sold any H-stuff yet for Sen no Hatou, or at least I haven't seen it yet. Not that it matters. I just think we're gotten quite shallow if we'll put down hundreds of dollars on merchandise that has a cute and/or naked girl on it, because we can. And the cycle repeats every few months. People are free to spend their money on whatever they want, but we're not much different from the fools who buy every newest reiteration of the iPhone and forget all about it as soon as something newer and shinier comes along.

>>14973540
Yeah, but I'll still have to wait for the full game to be uploaded before I start. I hope we're mistaken.

>>14973554
I recently had a bad experience with あの晴れわたる空より高く, it may have been written with the authors love for rockets but holy hell were the character interactions and the girls themselves painfully artificial. Well, to me at least. It was like the love of rockets having a fake moe girl tortilla wrapped around it, and to get to it you have start chewing.
>>14973562
I don't doubt it's going to be good, all this maitetsu posting and its mass marketing just really made me face how uncomfortable it made me. At the very least it will be a shining example of moe in comparison to raw garbage like 恋する気持ちのかさねかた.

You just needs to control yourself, so you don't end up like the last guy from this video (40:00 onwards).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szhEIStK8FQ

I mean, at some level I respect him, but once he starts pulling multiple copies of the same game he bought to get different store extras, a bag of games he bought the previous month and didn't open it, tapestries he only looked at once and keeps them rolled and shelves full of games he says he never got a chance to play, you can tell he's going too far.

>>14973590
>It was like the love of rockets having a fake moe girl tortilla wrapped around it, and to get to it you have start chewing.

This kind of thing makes me uncomfortable as well, even though I completely understand it. They have to sell a game and you sell eroge based on girls primarily unless you've got the top names in writing or VAs. No one would buy a game that's just a pretty pictures documentary about some topic the writer loves. It does however make me feel like games that could be a "break" of sorts from the usual fare are wasted on aspects the writers are not strong at and therefore end up mediocre or outright bad.

What's wrong? He seems happy enough. It's not like he's poor, he's clearly making good money.

>>14973540
Because most eroge these days sell company trust and whatever marketing assets (artwork, big-name staff) they have as opposed to the actual story. They need you to want the game before it's out, to preorder it because the moments it's on the streets, it's available in second-hand shops for half the price and that IMO is a much worse problem than piracy.

Company trust is essentialy what made Yuzusoft the giant it is now - you know you're getting Murikobu art, lots of moe and a speck of plot - so it's nothing to sneeze at.

>>14973675
Yeah, I said I respect it, living happily like you want is something I see as good, but pointless excess isn't ever a good idea.

>>14973680
Yeah, that's what I mean. I'm not sneezing at it, just pointing to it as indicative of what makes me so unenthusiastic about the game.

>>14973692
Think of it the other way: every year, there are 2~3 dark horses nobody counted on that turn out to be honest-to-god good games, or at least better than what were they sold as. It's more fun being surprised.

https://vndb.org/v10001
This is a prime example, as I don't think anybody expected for Yatagarasu to produce a decent, fairly innovative story-driven game with it's dying breath, not after such masterpieces as Tentacle Lord.

>>14973736
I still need to get a vita to play the port of that.

>>14973736
It is a weird cycle, isn't it? You wish there were more dark horse out-of-nowhere pleasant surprises, but they can only exist because there's so much generic shlock. The more pleasant surprises there are the less of a surprise they are and the less pleasant they feel.

And you can't search them out either, because then you're expecting it to be a pleasant surprise which fucks with your expectations and will usually produce a letdown. So you have to pretend like everything's gonna be terrible.

Liking things is actually kinda complicated.

>>14973459
>Maybe because the majority of the time they don't feel like actual characters but just a bunch of traits thrown together to appease otaku
I often feel the same. Heroines in plotge usually end up being a lot more memorable because they're characters first and heroines second. The reason, why f.ex. Muramasa heroines are so memorable is because they have their own ideals, goals and also faults that aren't just suddenly overwritten by the power of love.

Conversely heroines in moege usually exist in a vacuum and revolve around the protagonist's dick. I know that you can't really run from this since the games are obviously supposed to be about dating cute girls and I'm not saying that no moege has memorable heroines, but there's only so many times you can recycle the same heroine, setting, humor or relationship development archetypes before they get stale.

>>14973590
>あの晴れわたる空より高く
I dropped the game for the exact same reasons. If you disregard the abnormal amount of infodump on rocket development the whole game felt like just the same as any high school club / festival project fare with cliche heroines.

>Heroines in plotge usually end up being a lot more memorable because they're characters first and heroines second

And often it happens so that when you try giving the heroine agency, she ends up getting backlash from wota. Yuuna from Kanishino springs to mind, IIRC she was the least popular heroine even though I thought her route was was really cleverly written.

Then again I don't get the Takehaya age Marutani sage when it comes to that game.

>>14973804
Because Sumika and Misaki's routes were crap and the other three were really good romance routes that played well with the heroine in question.

>>14973817
What? Takehaya's routes were borderline unreadable and both Sumika's and Misaki's were way more entertaining than anything in his half of the game, even if they weren't on the same level as Yuuna's. I don't understand how anyone can unironically say that they even enjoyed the routes marutani didn't write in that game to be completely honest.

>>14973834
And I can't understand how you couldn't enjoy Miyabi or Shino's route, they blew the fuck out of Sumika's and Misaki's

>. I don't understand how anyone can unironically say that they even enjoyed the routes marutani didn't write in that game to be completely honest
That's like the most common opinion ever about Kanishino
Or what do you think everyone who played Kanishino and enjoyed Takehaya's routes are just trolling you?

>>14973804
>Yuuna from Kanishino springs to mind, IIRC she was the least popular heroine even though I thought her route was was really cleverly written.
I guess people didn't like her route almost veering into NTR territory (though later it's revealed she's still a virgin) more than the other twists, which in my opinion were a little too easy to guess as well. Like seriously, did the writer expect the player to find it surprising that Yuuna's friend (I don't remember her name anymore) was actually a nice person when one of the interludes spoils it or Yuuna doing business when the protagonist mistakes the stock price screen for a video game she's playing? I liked her route to be sure, but not more than the first three.

>>14973834
>I don't understand how anyone can unironically say that they even enjoyed the routes marutani didn't write in that game to be completely honest.
Might be just the case of me getting tired with the game, since like I've said before in previous threads the drama surrounding the protagonist got stale after a while because it's repeated in all the routes apart from Yuuna's, in which it's just handwaved away.

Sumika's in particular was annoying because of both her and the protagonist being indecisive bitches, though I liked the main twist of her parents actually caring for her since unlike Yuuna's friend's twist it was more subtly foreshadowed. Misaki's route on the other hand was almost completely devoid of drama since unlike the other girls she didn't have troubles of her own, though it fleshing out the reason behind the protagonist's trauma could have been nice if it hadn't already been talked to death in the previous routes. Maybe my experience of the game would've been different if I had played through the parts written by Marutani first.

>>14973951
I did Marutani first, then Takehaya, my order was Sumika-Misaki-Yuuna-Tonoko-Shino-Misaki
I definitely enjoyed Takehaya's side more, no question

>>14972207

>>14973951
>spoiler
Oh yeah there was that almost-incest thing. It's been a while since I read Kanishino.

And while I agree the repetition in Marutani is really tiring, I appreciated how intertwined the routes were - it helped the heroines & side characters stay relevant to the overall plot and gave the impression they have social connections aside from the protagonist.

I liked Takehaya's part as well, Shino in particular (she had the most reasonable reason for being stuck in a school in the middle of nowhere as opposed to your parents don't want you anymore) but you really had the feeling you're, well, romancing a moege heroine. I was also confused by that shota who shows up at the beginning of Miyabi's route, does jack shit for the majority of it and then conveniently resolves the plot.

So I guess summing up Takehaya part is character-driven and Marutani part is more plot-driven and it all depends on what kind of game you like.

>>14974025

>>14974025
>Do different choices pop up or what?
Yeah, though the order is locked. Pick all Aqua choices and one of them leads to a new choice. After her route pick all Asuka choices. Also once you're done with the game (I'd suggest reading the side stories as well), like the anons in the previous thread said make sure to download and play Aqua After, which wasn't included in the remake of the main game.

>>14974026
>あけいろ怪奇譚
Thanks for the heads up.

>>14974063
Yeah I bought it too, only 7400 yens and it looks like it's going to be pretty long

Huh, that's kinda surprising.
Aqua is by and far the most appealing girl so far anyways though.

For people who want to buy it by the way

>>14974061
The trial totally spoiled Ganelon's identity tho

>>14974076
Aries' route is the first one aka the glorified bad end
In the orignal doujin version she got her ero scene in a bad end of Aqua's route

>>14974024
How did they decide it was koreans who leaked it? Just looking at torrent IPs?

Also kinda hilarious that the site has navigation in japanese and english instead of chinese, and admin messages directed to koreans aren't in korean.

>>14974076
>No Aries route
If you want more of her, you need to get all the endings (bad endings and side story endings included), then read everything from TIPS section (the Aoi skits, not the keyword list) which are unlocked by getting all the endings. The last one is unlocked by playing through all the other skits.

So that Island game has no H scenes?

>>14974296

>Yukari Tamura
No scenes.

>>14974302
Oh, a shame. All interest lost.

So, I assume this is the thread to ask theses things but if not, feel free to tell me and I will delete this post.

Anyways, I'm most likely very late but I started playing 祝姫 and being a huge fan of Ryuukishi07 I was really excited. I'm not really far into it but I find it pretty... underwhelming? I don't think it's bad but It's not really what i was expecting, especially with the MC who seems to have no flaws and the random english words(please make It stop).
And I'm wondering if It gets better or maybe I am just being retarded (Which is possible since it's my first actual VN in japanese exluding Nukiges)

But there's one thing that's been kinda bothering me, is It my imagination or is 椿子's voice really different in some scene almost like It's another, completely different, VA.

Sorry, I'm terrible at that posting thing so It might have been painful to read through.

>>14974282
>all-ages
The anime was shit too so no thanks.

>>14974296

Which one?

>>14974296
>So that Island game has no H scenes?
Rather than H-scenes, I'm a little worried about how "mature" it is going to be in general.

Himawari had some very mature plot elements and even in the all ages remake they couldn't completely take out underage characters having sex since it's plot relevant, though all of it was still heavily implied to have happened off screen. Aqua After didn't probably receive a remake due to this reason (underage pregnancy) even though the fan disk is technically all ages with no actual sex scenes or anything violent.

Compared, Island is all ages from the get-go. Not that it absolutely has to have mature elements like Himawari in order to be good and I haven't played the trial so I can't say anything about the game yet. I'm still hyped as hell.

>>14974403
Goo already said that Island will be his "sharpest" story yet

This game was pretty disappointing for me, it had too much bad filler gore and madness scenes that didn't add up to the story or charcters and the charcters chapters gave me the feeling of reading rape nukige and also the ending totally sucked. Like I went literally " Is that it? "
This is actually my first R07 work, and I heared that Umineko ending sucked too, Its really a shame because the game had many hype moments and was building up to be something really great just to end up in a forced dues ex machine happy ending. If there is something I enjoyed it would be the battles against evil crazy bitches like the witches is Umineko.

>>14975146
>and I heared that Umineko ending sucked too
I personally liked Umineko's ending and liked it more the more I thought about it. I can't help but feel like most people who hate Umineko's ending didn't figure out the story.

Not worth the risk, sorry. Maybe if it's still not uploaded in a couple of weeks.

>>14974089
The term 'dcmys' written in released game in sukebei refers to a korea board dedicated to topics about VN
Also they did this kind of thing few months ago with Biman3

>>14975442
Rename it, change the extension, and put it with a bunch of other crap in a .rar or something. There's like no chance of getting caught. Be the savior we need, anon.

>>14975526
Why the hell are you begging so hard? We will get it 2-3 days later at worst, just chill a little.

>>14975572
It's a 4mb upload that would cost him very little time and potentially give us, as you said, a 2-3 days head start. I can't do anything if he really doesn't want to. All I'm saying is that the reasons he has for refusing don't really make sense and he really doesn't have anything to worry about.

>>14975629
Mate I understand you, but he already refused a couple times. No need for begging in 3-5 different posts, just play something different for a while. If its still not uploaded after 2-3 weeks (which I doubt since at worst chinese devs will release it after 2 weeks) we can start begging.

>>14975648
If by some miracle a few extra begging posts changed his mind then I, and likely some of you, would've been glad I went the extra mile. Never hurts to try.

Would they really arrest someone just for sharing a 7000 yen thing?

>>14975711
Akabei dude would try to

>>14975629
>don't really make sense
Not risking your entire life for nothing is very sensible thing to do.
You cannot be sure there's no unique fingerprint in these files or that anti-piracy association wouldn't subpoena 4chan to give poster's ip.

>>14975711
Yes, they arrest people who upload eroge from japan all the time.
There's RIAA-like eroge association in Japan, I've posted their bulletins about uploaders they rounded up few threads back.

If that sounds like any consolation, I am looking at that Buddy thing and depending on the crypto I might be able to crack it (my RE skills are still very low still)

Anyway, Justice is probably going to upload the disc before I do it

>>14975740
>Yes, they arrest people who upload eroge from japan all the time.

"All the time" is stretching it, since the first arrest in 2012 they only busted about 5 people

And there are no "uploaders" to speak of since there's only one person uploading a lot of games on regular basis every month, if we lose that guy it's going to be the end of it

>>14974439

>>14975886
That's all piracy arrests in general, not specifically eroge. Also, of course they're going to catch a lot of people on a round up, that's the whole point, to catch as many people as they can before they get scared off by arrests. I didn't notice any mention of how long they were investigating either, so for all we know it could've been a year or more; it had to have been several months at the very least. Overall, your odds of getting caught are slim to none unless you're not being careful at all and/or distributing a lot of material.

Yeah the gore seems too much "in your face" trying to shock you, except it doesn't really work. A shame, I was actually telling myself "Well, maybe the ending will be worth it!" but from what you said, that's not the case. Oh well, I guess I will keep reading because R07.

On Umineko's ending, I think that opinions are pretty divided but I personally enjoyed it in itself. However, whatever anyone say about the ending, I don't think they can deny that the whole "ride" is really fun.

So you can turn off the character movement in Maitetsu right?

>>14978222
>the DRM does not locate the leaker, instead, disabling the leaked version of the game so it can't be played. Games that can't be protected will simply not be released in Mikocon VIP anymore (either this or ban all Koreans). The next step would be to add authentication system. If that still does not work, we'll consider the outside world too hostile and we will stop all releases in Mikocon VIP.

Still very much worth reading, it's interesting and fun to read 100% of the time but it's not what they hyped it to be aka a serious take on the life on an adult eroge writer or the industry in general
Closer to Saekano than Rakuen basically

>>14978387

This is weird. 10 hours is just too short and I remember they said officially that there would be a second adult life half. Maybe people are currently missing a way to unlock the second half of the game and thinking they cleared it?

>>14978452
Its size is 2.5gbs installed.

>>14978452
Takahiro only lied, one route has a bit of adult life and is one or two level better than the others (Teru, the fujo red hair) but there is no second half, it's just routes

But again, it's not a bad game at all, it's really fun to read all the way through

Doesn't really get much easier than moege. Flyable Heart gets name dropped a lot on DJT as a good first untranslated VN though.

Kanon was fairly simple. It gets even easier to understand with the PSP voice patch, since it adds partial voicing for the protag.

>>14978957
Considering how little N4 actually is, I doubt you'll be able to smoothly read any of this. And if you want to read and look up half of the stuff as you do it, that's not really reading for enjoyment, so choose something you don't want to enjoy.

Otherwise you'll end up like that one faggot linked in previous thread that spent 4 months reading Eustia and hated it.

While we're at it, please report that post with the maitetsu translation announcement as well. We need a complete purge, what we got is a start but not enough.

>>14979094
C'mon. Maitetsu's translation is a big deal in the eroge world whether you want to hear it or not. There's a difference between keeping the thread quality and on-topic, and just removing anything you don't want to hear.

>>14979109
I'm glad someone here gets it.

>>14979109
How? It's irrelevant to this thread because the only way we care about translations is being horrified by them. Look at this thread and compare it to the last one. Terrible.

>>14979109
Is this the translation status thread?

>>14978985
Ah, actually, I started Hanahira, but I didn't like it too much. Didn't have many problems understanding the contents though, it just felt kind of dull, even for a Moege.

I've at least practiced reading a bit by reading Manga daily on my Comico app. I just need something that motivates me to read more and learn more Kanji.

>>14979059
>N2 minimum
N2? Wow, that's harsh. Guess it'll take a while then, lol.

>>14979119
How well Maitetsu sells in the west will directly influence their next game and future business practices.

>>14979154
And the result will be horrible no matter what. Fuck you Lose, you disappointed me. Too bad I already bought Maitetsu and related merch, if I had known this I'd have pirated it like everyone else.

>>14979154
>>14979163
They had a good run with Monobeno and Maitetsu.

Not pray August doesn't decide Sen no Hatou could work on Steam.

>>14979169
I trust August won't be that retarded. Though then again, I didn't expect Lose to be that retarded either and here we are. I hope there's some sort of backlash.

>>14979182
Why should there be any kind of backlash?

>>14979191
CP on Steam!
Think of the children!
She's looks like 6 years old!

>>14979182
>>14979191
There won't be for Maitetsu. Japanese buyers have no reason to care about the English translation being shit and Lose always had porn mostly as separate scenes. And Lose won't be insane enough to stop pandering to lolicons, they're the main source of their success.

>>14979204
Oh, you mean on th English side. Well, that might be a bumpy ride.

>>14979213
My hope is that it does badly in the west because people get pissy about the content but wonderfully in Japan, which already has. That way Lose won't distribute future titles in the west.

A few years ago I thought eroge would just be a crapshow in the west, sell like garbage and discourage every company from further trying to release to a western audience, but it looks like the market is actually growing and this Sekai Project thing is all over the place.

Contrary to what people seem to think, success in the west would alter the medium significantly, over time.

>>14979154
>>14979245
It could end up in a huge controversy which leads into Lose deciding to abstain from western releases. Though even if they end up being successful I have a hard time believing they're going to ditch ero altogether in order to appeal for western audiences, as loli is still what they're best known for in Japan. I mean Monobeno already got an all ages Vita release in Japan.

I think it's much more likely that if Maitetsu western release succeeds (meaning the probable backlash from western media isn't enough to dissuade them) they're going to continue making both adult and all ages versions of their games, with Japan getting both and the localized version only getting all ages. Making both versions means more money, localization or no. I can't really imagine a situation where the backlash from western media / audiences dissuades them from making eroge altogether.

>>14979260
>they're going to ditch ero altogether in order to appeal for western audiences
That is a misunderstanding. They're not ditching ero to appeal to the west, they're ditching ero because if the game's not on Steam it won't sell well.

>>14978921
Axanael was my first untrans vn and I really liked it.

Can the e-mote in Maitetsu be switched off?

Dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Aokana is getting a sequel; http://sprite.org/2016/03/26/id-3311/

Seems like it'll have a Saki route for sure, but nothing other than this confirmed so far.

>>14979337
you're the 3rd person to bring it up.

Akeiro is really good

>>14979260
The part that is worrying me is that a huge controversy could have an effect of what kind of stuff I can import.

>>14979391
Oh sorry about that, I didnt check the thread because its full of Maitetsu's license stuff, which I dont care even a little bit. Its not like Lose will stop making loliges or start making all ages games so honestly I have no idea why are people caring about it this much.

>>14979263
Didn't they release official 18+ patches for Grisaia? They could do the same for Maitetsu.

Also Okujou no Yurirei-san was uncensored on Steam, but I guess that's because it was considered "softcore".

>>14979434
Perhaps because they like Lose's games and fear negative effects all this can have on them?

It's easy to care about things you like.

>>14979437
I like Lose's games too, but I cant see any negative effects about this. As I said there is no way that Lose would stop making loliges or 18+ games, At worst they will abstain from western releases and most likely no one would care about this here.

Having recently played some early 2000s games with bad ends and other crazy shit this really hits home. Modern games seem so sterile and safe. Which has its place, but...

>>14979444
It also easy to fear worse though.

Is browsing EGS's yearly top ratings sufficient enough to find most of the "must play" titles and really good charage/moege I've missed out on? I've only gotten into untranslated VNs very recently and only read a few translated ones before.

>>14979449
What is this, a VN for ants?

>>14979452
What is the "worse" you are talking about? Selling thousands at steam and stoping making 18+ games? Dont worry, it'll never happen.

If you want to worry about something, Denuvo is a better choice since technically they can block the gaijin ips from the activation. Which means there's a slim chance that you might not be able to play the game, even if you have bought it.

>>14979463
Took it from a tweet.

>>14979472
Next time add :orig at the end to get the full resolution.

>>14979458
Not really. A lot of the games I see on the top of sites like EGS are garbage. You just have to read things that catch your attention and pay keep an eye out for discussion. Though I guess its a good start.

>>14979449

Browse tags for content you like.

And when you find some more obscure VN you liked, look it up on Warosu and see if people discussed it in the past and if they mentioned something similar to it.

Overall searching Warosu with "old posts first" for your favorite older VNs can be an interesting read. But some time period can be full of people begging for fantranslations, try to filter out that.

I dunno about the patch itself, but you can download a patched untranslated ver of Standard Edition Kanon here.

>>14979444
They might not stop making 18+ games, but if it's popular in the west, it's possible they could follow something like that frontwing game where I think you had to buy the 18+ patch or maybe have the h content as unlockables.

>>14979478
>>14979481
Alright, thanks, was just curious if there was a convenient list of "essential reads" and significant titles from each year that I missed out on that I otherwise likely wouldn't see brought up here much due to not being a monthly release / something released in the past year. I pretty much just lurk here, I don't really browse any other VN communities.

>>14979487
If I was at home I would post 2ch's 2015 vn chart that goes all the way back to 2000, thats a good guideline but there's lots of trashy moege.

>>14979493
Got you covered
Far from being perfect as a list, it doesn't have Amatsukaze in 2008 for example despite it being much better than everything else released that year, but it's a good way to begin

>>14979485
I think with Grisaia it was an 18+ and all ages version, where the 18+ version actually had the additional scenes and CGs from the all ages version removed instead of being the all ages version with the H content added back in.

>>14979487
Following denka, hadler-sama and their pals on twitter could also be useful, think what you want about them, but they mention various potentially interesting doujin VNs in the tweets.

Sometimes it can even be blatantly obvious when sudden increase of posts about something stems from one of them, like Natsuyume Yawa last year.

>>14979485
It was just 100 yen mate, not even 1 dolar, just something symbolic. I still cant see any problem with this, yeah if its popular they might release all ages and 18+ versions at the same time, but whats wrong with that? just buy the 18+ version, and you are good. As >>14979260
said there is already an all ages version of Monobeno, but does it bother you? Most likely not. Hell maybe you didn't even know its existence.

>>14979487
This copipe from 2ch is actually pretty spot-on. Helped me find lots of eroge I wouldn't have played otherwise.

Shots fired.

>>14979396
Mystery stuff usually keeps me interested, but not so much this time. There are so many different spirits, ghosts and legends in this game, and they just seem silly to me.

I picked it up for the porn though, so I really look forward to that. I didn't expect a horror game or anything.

>>14979504
Yeah I'll consider that down the line, but I've noticed people tend to repost those recommendations here anyways. I guess I'd get more direct commentary that way though.

>>14979507
I guess I was trying to say it's hard to imagine Lose wanting to make two separate games for every game they make. It would be easier for them to make one game and put some h at the end. Especially now if it sells well in the west. It's going to be interesting to see how much change games like this will have on the japanese seeing they can make more money if they include the west as well. All I hope for is that the h content not be made into a dlc feeling add on.

>>14979497
>>14979496
Every time I see this list I wonder, why do they have less and less votes each year? Or is it that they are spread more thin due to the existence of more games and that isn't reflected in the image?

>>14979600
Total number of posts and posters on the board decreases each year => votes decrease too.

>>14979627
Oh, so their board is dying? I wonder why. I also wonder if that made it better or worse.

>>14979640
There's less people interested in eroge, simple as that. I'm not sure whether there's less otaku in general and not enough fresh blood or just neo otaku prefer different things like mobage.

>>14979640
Japanese are moving on to Twitter, I guess.
It's mostly oldfags still using BBS imo.

>>14979658
>less people interested in eroge
Nah, 18+ mobage board posting speed increased 10 times in 4 years.

>>14979677
He said eroge not mobage

>>14979589
I don't find that hard to imagine at all. Monobeno even had a Vita port without porn. The PC version didn't have that much ero in the main plot either, much of it was in unlockable scenes viewed separately.

Not that I'd read them without the ero, but some people are fine with that.

>>14979688
Eroge is any game with porn. Mobage with porn is eroge too, same as dlsite rpgmaker porn games or flash osawari games.
ADV games are only small subset of eroge.

>>14979565
It seems to be way less porn heavy than nanairo, by the time I've been playing it had already had 4-5 sex scenes.

Romeo does it again!
His new game is a disappointment.

>>14979698
Popular mobage with porn?

>>14979705
Kana seems to have the most H-scenes, at least according to Silky's PR person. Apparently the writer really likes her.

>>14979722
She's absolutely great so I don't mind, my favourite by some margin.

>>14979710
If limit to mobage only specifically, Aigis is very popular, many adv scenario writers are playing it too.
If all kinds of sociage included, there's lots of stuff like Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena.

>>14979698
The funny thing is how there's actually a need to someone say this.

>>14979706
Go back to your hole

>>14979705
It's just much longer, the amount of ero is probably similar but evened out.

The pacing and writing in general are really good, Akeiro is a pleasure to go through so far

>>14979728
That's because this thread is VN-specific and most posters here don't pay much attention to other eroge media. RPG/action/simulation games are discussed at eroge thread or game-specific threads at /vg/, mobage/sociage are discussed in separate threads here on jp or vg.
If you sample 4chan general population, stuff like Custom Maid 3D 2 or Artificial Academy 2 would be much more popular than VNs.

>>14979738
Truly, I was thinking it'd be similar to nanairo/neyuki in length but I'm glad to be wrong.
I just wonder if it'll have proper routes for all the characters or the ones that aren't Kana/Velvet will have side character short routes.

>>14979753
I'm going for the twins first so I'll see, but yeah all the heroines have potential to have good meaty story so let's hope they have full routes

>>14979759
I really like how their sprite was scripted, they don't move much, but the eye/hand movement works really well with them.

So Takahiro and Romeo tried to copy Saekano or ride on its success and this is the best they could do?
Maruto is too good for them.

>>14979485
The critical issue is that they will be incented to design VNs where the 18+ content is neatly separable, like an afterthought. Compare with stories where the h-scenes are an essential part of the plot
