Remind, Dovac hates visual novels.

https://twitter.com/dobacco/status/759289075098460160

He got into a huge pissing match over cut content in his games, publicly telling all of his followers that a free patch exists and he's a salty vagina.

Enjoy your censored Baldr Sky, translated by Trantez, released in 2025.

Mangagamer got some mainstream press this week from kotaku. It was some shit about about the credit card fraud from months ago, but still, better than nothing.

Haro also added another announcement to the announcements page as she's been doing the last few weeks, but once again you all killed the thread in the middle of the week. http://mangagamer.org/announcements/

Fata Morgana got updated with a younger looking meido.

>Panel: Saturday August 13th at 22:30 EDT in Panel 1

MangaGamer panel. Should I quit my job so I can stay up for the announcements?

>>15612327
Can't decide if I like the new one better or not.
Both are really nice designs.

>>15612231
What's with all the sucking up on twitter? Jesus look at these guys.

>>15612499
no

Why Supipara instead of Natsuzora no Perseus or something else? Supipara was already a huge bomb in Japan and I don't see it making a big splash in the West. People are already going to be turned off of it being episodic, strictly all ages and the fear of it never being finished. Just seems like a waste of effort. Minori should have just let it die.

How bout that Dovac meltdown

>>15612580
It's easy to see - if they can sell it in the west, they can recover from their initial losses in Japan and the game isn't a total failure. Since the west is (or used to be) a sucker for any shitty game as long as it was translated, it might have even worked for a time. But it might be too late now, with VNs being thrown around left and right light cheap garbage.

>>15612231

Life's good.

https://vndb.org/v5160 guy, did you start your translation?

Has anyone worked on a Tomoyo After patch for the super ultra best edition that contains everything?

While adult content is not necessary with all other Clannad being all-ages, I figure I'd still rather have the most complete game.

>>15612741
Is he referencing SukiSuki? Or Baldr Sky? The former seemed like a lost cost considering Ishida knew Bamboo and SP is slow as hell.

I believe it's both but wouldn't be surprised if there were other japanese developers. Remember that SP got mothefucking Favorite to censor their games for western release for whatever reason.

>>15612630
>>15612605
Karakara 18+ (full game) and the 18+ DLC (as add-on for the all-ages game) have, combined, been sold only 15 times (9 + 6) on DLSite, and it sounds like sales aren't any better on DenpaSoft. Meanwhile, the 18+ version of Karakara has been torrented 4300 times on Sukebei alone, not counting places like Erogedownload, Anime-Sharing and other sites.

Basically: /jp/ keeps telling Dovac that he should just release 18+ patches, Dovac releases an 18+ patch, it doesn't sell at all and gets pirated to hell and back, Dovac gets frustrated and rants on Twitter.

>>15612580
>Supipara was already a huge bomb in Japan and I don't see it making a big splash in the West
Supipara is doing horribly on Steam. The hype is shit, the discussion is shit.

And to think Minori was such a big name on the VN scene years ago...

Anyway, in a recent interview nbkz ((Nabukazo) I think that's his name) said there are currently no plans to localize other VNs as he is completely reliant on MG about information of how the western market is evolving to different type of releases / games.

>>15613386
Last I checked, it's not a fan TL.

>>15613399
I think that's pretty damn funny, overall.

>>15612231
I hate this twat. I hope he keeps crying until 2030 when Baldr releases so nobody forgets how vile he is.

>>15613399
>>15613414
Cool, I like seeing the Western "market" dying.

>>15613399
I never supported the idea of a patch. When I get the game, I just want to install and play it. I don't want to install a patch after I install the game just to get the uncut content that should have been there to begin with.

This is the reason why I completely support the way MG handles games such as PE without exploring a loophole on the rules and thus having the risk of potentially being nuked from Steam (which is other companies are doing).

MG providing Steam keys by buying on their site was a fantastic idea. It's pathetic how someone tries to abuse that system to make money for themselves at MG huge cost...
Given how MG stopped with the Steam keys, I believe they could encourage people to get the adult version by offering something extra when people buy on their site. Naturally, they shouldn't be that obvious on Steam but they could have the community doing exactly this for them. There will certainly be people saying that if you buy on MG site you get something extra.

>>15613261
It'd be amazing if they lost a deal that MG will announce at Otacon. Can't wait to see the next meltdown.

>>15613399
Yea release an 18+ patch for free. Stop cutting content from a game and then charge extra for it. The complete game includes the H scenes, stop pretending that the H scenes are extra and optional.

>>15613460
The only thing dying here is the prospect of future 18+ versions. The all-ages version sold fine. The 18+ version didn't sell at all. Business-wise it makes zero sense to invest in 18+ content when it does not net you any additional revenue.

>>15613472
You could also buy the full 18+ game immediately from DenpaSoft or DLSite. But nobody did that; either they bought the all-ages Steam version, or they just pirated it.

I wouldn't be surprised if dovac reads these threads to get ideas for which VNs to license. So really, he's the fag that trying to get VNs from us first. That's why people are mad. He gets the eroge and then removes the ero. Just fucking license all-ages from the beginning then people wouldn't give a shit.

>>15613492
>Stop cutting content from a game and then charge extra for it.

Wasn't this game made primarily with the Western market in mind? The alternative is to not add 18+ content as it apparently makes no financial sense. But then /jp/ starts complaining about Sekai Project forcing developers to make all-ages versions.

Dovac needs to beg people to fund his all-ages only Kickstarters of fan-translated shit and claims there's no adult market.
But somehow Nutaku has 2mil to invest in the development of Western ero, plus the money to try and make an 18+ version of Steam. Funny how that works.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2016-07-31/game-publisher-nutaku-launches-2-million-adult-gaming-investment-fund/.104845

>>15613495
>You could also buy the full 18+ game immediately from DenpaSoft or DLSite. But nobody did that; either they bought the all-ages Steam version, or they just pirated it.
Then why doesn't the exact same thing happen with MG? It doesn't make sense.
Is this a lack of visibility by the Denpa Soft brand? Is it because MG is much more recognized with regards to adult games? Is it because SP has effectively allienated most people of the main market (people who activelly buy +18 VNs) and try to squeeze what they can from Steam fags that actually care?

Such a mystery...

>>15613525
I hate dovac as much as the next guy but that's an unfair comparison. Pornographic browser games are a far bigger and more profitable market than visual novels and eroge.
Nutaku would probably make more each day than Sekai or Mangagamer does in a month.

>>15613503
The game is like NekoPara where it takes under 2 hours to read the entire thing and half of it was fucking. It wasn't made to be all ages.

>>15612200
Dead End Junction was picked up by Culture Select.

https://vndb.org/v10106

>>15612580
The early Steam vn boom made people optimistic about its prospects, only vn sales have rapidly declined in the last few months. It's because the fad is loosing its interest and so many shitty vns have been released to turn people away from the genre.

>>15613300
But think about how his staff translates an average vn, there'd be all kinds of other issues.

>>15613414
>Anyway, in a recent interview nbkz ((Nabukazo) I think that's his name) said there are currently no plans to localize other VNs as he is completely reliant on MG about information of how the western market is evolving to different type of releases / games.

That statement pissed me off, because it sounds like he has no faith in Perseus and the other well-regarded vns that released after Supipara. They skipped them all for Trinoline, a completely unproven title.

>>15613472
> I believe they could encourage people to get the adult version by offering something extra when people buy on their site.

It's possible, but look at what happened when they offered exclusive MG bonuses for the first Kindred Spirits drama CD. People felt they were getting ripped off by buying it on Steam and still refused to buy it on MG's site. MG had to backtrack and get Steam to allow almost all the bonuses to get them to buy it on Steam.

>>15613823
So is Supipara the worst thing that Minori has made? I haven't heard anything good or bad about all the other Minori games after Eden.

>>15613473
Given the hints at what's going to be announced at Otakon, it doesn't sound like anything dovac would've wanted. The new partners are most likely the NTR or loli vn and Sorcery Jokers.

>>15613492
It costs about the equivalent of $20 in Japan, because it was a simultaneous release. People want new vns in the west, but the reality is that it jacks up the price.

>>15613838
It doesn't have H-scenes, which is what arguably killed it in the end. That and the episodic thing combined with being very expensive to produce, leading to very little returns.

>>15613495
How many people wouldn't have bought the all-ages version if the 18+ patch wasn't available? Some people do it out of principle, while other wouldn't have bought the all-ages game if they couldn't have pirated the 18+ patch. They consider paying double for the 18+ version to be buying the game twice, so they refuse to do so.

>>15613843
In the same vent, I also don't see Trinoline doing well either. A simultaneous release would probably mean a higher price and the H-scenes are most certainly going to be fully censored (although I don't think even Eden* has gotten the reduced mosaic treatment yet, so it could be a moot point). That would probably rile up the anti-censorship crowds.

>>15613525
I doubt how much of this will go to vns that aren't made by Winged Cloud or AJ Tilley. I'm expecting more browser games and ero RPGs to come out of this more than anything else. It could also end up as a total flop.

Dovac's in the middle of fucking with Aroduc and Doddler of all people over Baldr Sky too.

He needs to start by shutting down his twitter, and then taking a long hard look at his belief that he's god's gift to visual novels. Never happen obviously.

>>15613845
In what way is it episodic? Are the routes half done, or is are there heroines that don't have routes that will get them in the next one?

>>15613823

What I heard (well, overheard while he was chatting with kouryuu) from nbkz re: Trinoline was that they're trying to make something that combines eastern and western sensibilities. The one specific thing I remember him mentioning was that science fiction-y stories tend to be much more popular in the US, which honestly sounds accurate as far as I know.

I might be wrong but I sorta get the impression that minori's using it as an opportunity to try something a little different.

>>15613541
>From today onwards, I’m dropping all new visual novels from Sekai Project.
Well that was unexpected. Looks like no more Nekopara patches or the like.

>>15613399
No, /jp/ tells him to off himself and disband his company.
After all shit he said and done to 18+ crowd, only utter cucks would ever buy anything from him. Its now matter of principle.

>>15613852
This is how I see it. Not even mainstream games can often get people to buy things they think they should get for free. I believe that many people bought the all-ages version with the expectation of getting the 18+ patch for free, whether officially or otherwise. Of course, I have no data to support this, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised to find out it's the case.
To complain about people refusing to double dip is pointless. The large amount of downloads of the patch proves demand. The question isn't if people want ero, it's if they'd care about the product without the sex scenes in the first place. The recent string of all ages failures make a me think the answer is no.

>>15613887
Even sci-fi manga and anime do better in the west so that doesn't come as much of a surprise.

>>15613541
Am I reading this right?
This guy was translating h-content for Sekai games for free, dovac then was reselling these free patches for monies, and now mad that something he never paid for was distributed by author separately?
dovac's entitlement sure knows no bounds.

>>15613838
The vns after Supipara have sold quite well and had much better reception in Japan. Soreyori no Prologue is especially well-regarded from what I've heard.

>>15613921

Oh come on you guys aren't actually this stupid.

Karakara had an 18+ version and an 18+ patch available from Sekai/Denpa. This guy I guess didn't realize they had a patch and made his own redundant patch for the Steam version from the standalone 18+ release.

Apparently, Aroduc hates anime.

>>15613874
The second one, if I remembered correctly.

>>15613874
Each chapter is its own route, but you don't need to read previous chapters to just jump in a random chapter and understand what's going on, however doing so provides more background. Only chapters 2 of 5 currently exist.

>>15613887
Seems about right, Trinoline itself seems to about the Three Laws of Robotics, hence the title.

>>15613887
Adhering to western sensibilities (or what they perceive to be western sensibilities) could really backfire, because it could be taken as a cheap attempt to pander to the west. If it's targeted at Steam, I'm also expecting it to be short and have H scenes like eden* that aren't part of the story at all. I'll try to be cautiously optimistic though.

That's the wrong lesson to draw. GOOD stories, well written stories, clever stories are what sells. You can't just make a generic moege with robots and spaceships and pewpew and call it a day.

Not saying generic stories = huge cash money either. Just the notion that a good story always means high sales (and that a crappy story can't sell well) isn't really in line with reality. VNs sell for a lot of reasons but the quality of the story seems to be a rather minuscule factor compared to most other things.

>>15614403

>>15614403
Obviously more people will buy a game at launch than people willing to preorder it. The question is if it can stay on the chart after its launch period.

>>15614295
Karakara has sold roughly 4000 copies so far, based on SteamSpy, which isn't bad (just not great). Corona Blossom's sales are currently still too low for a decent estimate (1,361 ± 940), but keep in mind that it has just been released so not all sales are counted yet and it'll probably sell some more over the next couple days.

>>15614445
Steamspy numbers can't be used for games under 30k because the numbers are unreliable and fluctuate in the thousands. They were also likely expecting Nekopara level sales.

>>15614497

>>15614497
We still have one month for Kyonyuu Fantasy, meanwhile, the Supipara fad will die in a week or two.

>>15614497

AJ Tilley/Darkher has been getting all of their cash from Kickstarter. They've run three this year alone and funded like 20 games for the next few years.

They don't need Nutaku's filthy money, so expect some other entry-level devs to jump on it.

That is true though, you don't see random nukige on the top of VNDB and EGS. There's many VNs with cute girls, but far fewer VNs with a memorable story.

I wait on the store page to offer Kyonyuu Fantasy as a purchase. Not touching Funbag Fantasy store page out of spite.

>>15614917
How many of the top VNs on VNDB/EGS are on Steam, though? And of the ones that are, how long have they been out compared to those two?

Steam's not exactly a spectacular metric for what's popular.

>>15614922

Popularity is not the question here sales are. Nekopara's moved more units than basically any VN that's come out of Japan in years period.

>>15614920
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. A kyonyuu by any other name will still be as big.

>>15614917
>Oh, right, Nekopara and Sakura Spirit.
The meme game lol streamer bubble won't last forever, and not everyone can be a bad rats.

>>15614846
Unfortunately, very few people actually give money to such titles. Simply localizing a VN with a very good story doesn't guarantee success. The market has been flooded with shit and thanks to that the perception of people is to consider VNs "anime games" and thus not take them seriously. Have you noticed how Steam interest has been gradually getting lower?

Even mainstrem coverage is shit. To get it you apparently need to either have a aspect of a VN that will cause a lot of interest (such as the coverage for Yurirei) or pay the heavens for coverage and review sites to advertise it.

This is the shitty reality on the current western VN market.

>>15614929
You can't prove quality through sales if the quality titles aren't there for comparison.

When those top titles are on Steam for a year or more, you can use Steam to make your point. Until then, Steam means nothing.

All you can prove is that of the VNs available on Steam, Nekopara and Sakura Spirit have sold the most copies over time. Nothing else.

>>15614929
Nekopara has also been sold for 3 dollars and been in 2 different "unlimited sales bundles". If you look at how many has sold and consider the profit is on average 1 dollar, it isn't THAT extreme.

>>15614937

FM is doing decently considering the lack of exposure it has gotten. It's not going to get memecats level sales, but it's going to be steady revenue over time for MG

>>15614996

Kek. That shit sold like 200 copies at most despite all the shilling here.

Lol of course it is, the fags on VNDB are not always right.

Seems like Labyrinth of Grisaia sold like dogshit on Steam. What happened? People finally tired of dovac and SP bullish?

>>15615454
People don't care or are waiting for the ero version. Plus no airing anime so free publicity is non-existent.
Doesn't help that there's censorship in addition to the ero scenes being removed. People also know that there won't be a real patch for Steam, so nobody will buy it in anticipation of a patch that's never coming out.

>people unironically shitting on Fata Morgana

I still want otoboku 2 and Ruitomo and other crossdressing games. But it seems like people only want shit eating games. Woe is me.

>>15615739
And KF will sell more than SuckySucky, like all MG nukige do

Why does this thread always overstate the amount of poop games brought over?

Could you have used some more spacing in this post? Hard to distinguish the VNs with that wall of text

>>15615852
did euphoria succeed bc it was fetish or bc it was plotge?

Neither. euphoria is a meme game

>>15616198

Because it has an interesting story

>>15616198

bs it's also a good game? Games with fetish sex can also be good games, you know?

>>15615569
>garbage nukige
KF is genuinely best MG game of 2016, even for people who dislike nukige. Its sad that it got this terrible title translation and is advertised as pure porn, but porn is not the reason why it got such a high score on EGS.

>>15616208
>>15616214
looks like chuunige to me

>>15616225
Its not chuuni, its just regular action + guro porn.

>>15616222
>KF is genuinely best MG game of 2016
It's interesting but it isn't THAT great. The most interesting thing about it is the rags-to-riches protagonist that uses his head for once.

It only has an 80 EGS too. Which isn't that amazing.

When did you realize that Moogy-dono has shit taste and is completely irrelevant to the VN community of today?

Danganronpa might not be top selling but it has made the most money. Basically you just need to release all ages HD VNs with gameplay and anime adaptations. Utwr 2 when?

>>15616358
Only if you don't count speed.

>>15616409
Euphoria is way better than Bible Black if you go by plot alone. The ero depends on your fetishes.

>>15616575
Euphoria is a fetish game with a ridiculously ambitious plot it has no business having. It's the muv luv alternative of fetish porn. I'm certain lots of people who read it skipped through the h scenes entirely.

>>15616575
Hm, makes me wonder, would there be a point to playing Euphoria and slamming control through most of the H-scenes? Like the other anon, I played Bible Black and enjoyed it, while speedreading the H, but I might be a little too squeamish to read Euphoria's.

>>15616808
>muv luv alternative of fetish porn
You do realize that most people here would consider that a compliment?

Man, there is no way in hell Supipara ever gets finished. If it was 200 grand just to bring over the first two chapters which were already made how much it is going to cost to create the brand new ones from scratch? Supipara would have to be one of the most successful VNs ever in the west to make the money needed for that.

>>15616820
In my perspective, it is as good as Muv Luv or at the very least have similar plotpoint.

>>15616820
It was intended as a mild compliment. Euphoria is plotge and that's why it sold

>>15616366
Choke on your OELVNs, pls.

>>15616358
Nah, that's koestl

>>15616222
Don't oversell it. It's a good nukige with a decent plot for a nukige. I'm expecting the people who bought Boob Wars to pick it up.

>>15616814
You'd probably miss out on some emotional damage and torture but you can probably get the overall plot by skipping them. There's in-game toggles for reducing scat/guro/ahegao (but not removing them) if you are really worried about being squeamish.
Most of the crazier scenes are plot-relevant rather than strictly ero, which is different from Maggot baits which is a full guro game from start to finish.
If you have an interest you should probably just persevere through the scenes, part of the appeal is how notorious it is, although I personally feel like that is exaggerated.
However, Maggot baits can churn stomachs just with the CG alone. Can't wait to see how that one is actually received once it comes out.
I suppose if you are really worried about the CGs can you skip the scenes then read the backlog to see if you missed any terribly important plot details.

>>15615226
The problem with Karakara is that they charged $10 for what's literally 2 hours long and goes nowhere.

It has a nice setting and characters, and it could probably lead to a nice series, but for now it's just a really short SoL VN. No one wants to pay that much for something they'll finish in one night and will provide no memorable stuff.

This comes from someone who bought it day one and enjoyed it.

>>15616848
According to vn top sellers, it's selling worse than: Danganronpa 2, Danganronpa 1+2 bundle, Danganronpa, the oelvn with gameplay Just Deserts, VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action, Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma, Muv Luv, and a bundle of Sakura games that costs $80.

>terrible title translation
Its Japanese title literally means Gargantuan Breasts Fantasy. And you already admitted that your biased against the word funbags in your rant on MG's blog. On top of that it's become obvious that you worship Kyonyuu Fantasy and think it's above being a nukige. Your opinion on anything involving it is nothing but major bias.

>>15617242
I never posted on MG blogs, paranoid moron.

>>15617263
Someone did a rant about how funbags is a word associated with rapists. Sounded like you, so obviously most people just assumed it was you.

>>15617271
I'm huge fan of rape/slavery/調教/痴漢 nukiges, ranting about rape associations certainly doesn't sound like me.

>>15617288
My mistake, that guy was getting really obnoxious. I'll refrain from accusing anyone who dislikes the title as being him in the future.

>>15617242
>And you already admitted that your biased against the word funbags in your rant on MG's blog
Not him but Link?

>>15617320
http://blog.mangagamer.org/2016/07/22/funbag-fantasy-now-available-for-pre-order/#comment-13249

It's point 3 of 5.

>>15617324
While I dislike the choice of translation myself that reasoning is a bit much.

>>15617324
Is this guy not from the US? It's a really common word here. Even if people don't use it they at least know what it means. The title logo being hands groping boobs should be self explanatory too.

>>15617386
You mean telling your audience that you can't wait to ditch the market and never wanted to get into it to begin with aren't good ideas?

>>15617392
What the hell does that even mean, anyway? Sekai was MADE to translate a VN.

>>15617406
The company is headed by dovac and he seems more interested in developing for consoles and publishing more mainstream games. Raiders Sphere 4th was something he really liked.

>>15617406
Sekai isn't the same people who it used to be.

>>15617415
Yeah, but saying that Sekai was never meant to do VNs? That's like saying the goal of IHOP was never to serve breakfast.

>>15617438
ihop breakfast is disgusting

>>15617459
Just like Sekai.

>>15616222
I really enjoyed it. Better than Haruka.

And Rance 01

Well short of Rance VI in the unlikely event that gets announced before 01

>>15617375
I'm not him but i also think that Sc... Funbag isn't a popular word, if it wasn't for the cover I would never associate this name with a titty nukige.

>>15616882
That a fact ?

>>15616814
Nah, there's quite a bit of character development put away in the (sometimes) over-the-top H-scenes. It's especially important in the first half where it's all about character degradation. And there's some scenes later on which are pretty important as well. I wouldn't say that they're completely essential on their own, but when put together I wouldn't skip any of them. Plus, the art is pretty nice. The artist (who is a woman, by the way) actually knows how to draw genitalia unlike so many other Japanese artists (who, I imagine, probably don't put much effort into something that will just get censored). I haven't fapped to Euphoria more than a few times, but I still liked the art quite a bit. I wish there was an H scene where Nemu had her hair down, though.

File: kamige.png (38KB, 1033x746px) Image search: [Google]

Which kamige is mangagamer going to announce?

>>15618146

All NTR

Something Alicesoft, probably Rance 01, Sengoku or Evenicle.

>>15618230
Sengoku announcement would be fun to watch.
"We promised you Rance game if you buy haruka, well, here's your Rance!"

>>15618245
I could probably buy into it if they did an HD version of Sengoku.

>>15616859
It is ironic that the only game that would benefit from an all-ages game port is probably Euphoria. Because it does sound worth playing, if you can make sure you don't accidentally run into any sceens you dislike.

>>15618256
They're not going to do a HD version

>>15618230
>>15618146
Rance 01 seems more likely but possibly Rance VI.

VI is kamige but 01 is nothing special.

>>15618261
Did you even play it? Its literally impossible to make it all-ages, everything revolves around depraved sexual acts and violence.

>>15617375
Are you? There are many other slang terms more popular than "funbag" here.

>>15618261
I don't know about that because the brutality of many of the scenes sets the atmosphere and the general hefty oppression in the first-half. There's way too much stuff dedicated to this kind of depravity that an all-ages version would be impossible. Maybe a censored version could produce a 17+ rating. Anyway, you can just turn off scat and stuff in the options if you want to.

Also; while it's a very good plot for a nukige, it still has its issues. I would have preferred it if the teacher/loli routes were cut and they were allowed to focus more on the true route. The ending segment in particular felt too short and under-developed.

>>15618146
Why would people think of Sorcery Jokers? Is there some reason for it? Some piece of evidence or something?

>>15617299
You can accuse me, because I am him.

And besides I said that only was my personal opinion since out of over 100 manga titles I've only run across Funbags in Magical Girl Apocalypse where the cop that want to rape all small girls use it for the big breasted girl as an insult.

Not sure I've ever seen the word in any previous VN either. Because it is obscure beyond what anyone can imagine.

And I just hate people who do bad excuses like "it will attract buyers". How do you attract buyers with an unknown word? May as well call it tiggobitties. Would be just as selling.

>>15618275
>How do you attract buyers with an unknown word?
I wouldn't say it's unknown, rather it's fallen in disuse for easier and quicker things to say.

>>15618270

Their hints earlier this year.

>>15618270
>HD title is confirmed
>"no joke" hint
That's about it, I think.

>>15618275
>only 1 in 100 titles have I ran across Funbags
>Hence it gives the game a bad connection as an abuse, rape and torture game
Great perspective there.

>Because it is obscure beyond what anyone can imagine.
Hyperbolic.

>>15618275
>over 100 manga titles

That's not really the greatest frame of reference for an english word anonymous.

It's a pretty common word in the normalfag big titties market.

>>15618276
Maybe people got tired of not having a spelling defined since it is more common as Fun Bags than Funbags.

Which also annoys me since it means Kyonyuu has a dialect spelling rather than the most common one.

It is like if the game had Osakan title in Japan because Osakans wrote the title and didn't have a clue as to what the rest of the world says.

>>15616859
>Euphoria is plotge and that's why it sold
Anon please.
Euphoria has been for a long time infamous due to its content. It's not simply because it has a good plot. There are multiple reasons why it was a success.

>>15618288
>It's a pretty common word in the normalfag big titties market.

And my point is that I am a big consumer of otaku content and completely missed the word. Nothing more, nothing less. It is just a word that won't fit with majority of otakus.

If you are a big consumer of regular funbags porn, good for you. You got a VN title you understand.

I am quite curious. Where do I download visual novels?

>>15618322
mangagamer.org

Euphoria also had a hentai didn't it
seen people in other boards who only know it because of the "human centipede scene" (which funnily enough wasn't in the VN) so I assume it's at least moderately well known

The "Otaku" market is a small one. I can't say that I'd have gone with that particular title("Busty Fantasy" would have been the best compromise, imo), but it's obviously they're tossing shit at the wall in hopes of attracting a more mainstream audience like what happened with boob wars.

That would actually make alot of sense for them to do that, because it gives it more regional flavor. The fact is that translations will be influenced by where the translator is from. I noticed this in Tokyo Babel with some of the phrasings they used.

>>15618743

It gave you a pregnant feeling, didn't it?

>>15618461
The English market dislikes episodic vns. They've been burned too many times by them never being completed or taking forever between installments. The vn market is especially resistant to them because of all the oelvn titles that have been dropped after a single chapter after people paid for them. Look into Sakura Fantasy and Dysfunctional Systems as some of the more famous dropped titles.

>>15618465
It's pretty dull from what I've heard.

After continued sales of eden* and Supipara Chapter 1 they're sure to hit the goal for Chapter 2 by the end of the year or sometime next year. I don't see Chapters 3+ happening anytime soon, though an eden* hardcopy could help it along, but I don't see the point when Chapter 1 is selling so poorly. Chapters 2+ will sell even less.

Clearly the western market was not ready for something like Gahkthun.

>But those nice details are buried under an insurmountable wave of terrible writing. The prose is purple, the lines repeat themselves, and everything is stretched to the point where it loops into some inverse-of-pacing negaverse. No cool story could compel me to fight through that writing, and as I said above, the writing is the story, anyway. Neon repeating everything she thinks half a dozen times doesn’t just make it take longer for anything to happen...
Pretty much same thing that was said over and over for every released WAB game. WABs are intentionally heavy on purple prose, people who can't stomach it should just stay fucking away from series.

>evil Kanae best girl.

Is it ever explained why she hates the MC so goddamn much? I mean even after the whole "everything was a simulation" explanation she clearly states to you that she hates your guts and she hopes to see you dead or something like that. But I didn't even understand the reason why. Was the MC interfering with the Nemu experiments? Was she jealous of her? Was she just batshit insane? I just know she had a troubled childhood and felt abandoned by her parents.

I never played the teacher and loli routes so maybe something else is explained in those.

>>15618913
And this is one of the reasons Gahkthun sold so poorly. It really is a niche of a niche.

How many people bought Gahkthun and couldn't stand its writing? I doubt most of them would pick up another WAB title after that.

>>15618923
Gahkthun is the single lightest WAB game there is. It's not like those people would have enjoyed, say, Inganock and its fight scenes which are always exactly the same.

>>15618734
I'm positive they went for "It should sound like Final Fantasy to cash in on that crowd of adults". And when you got a whole team going "Cool idea" it is just natural nobody will change it.

>>15618974
They should license Liar-soft's vn that takes inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons. Oh well, maybe next year.

>>15618923

Gahkthun didn't really sell THAT poorly. It did slightly more than break evenish at the start and eventually got a steamport, so by now I'd imagine it's probably classed as a (mild) success.

>>15618917
The loli and teacher routes are more or less there for the porn. Makiba's especially has nothing to do with the plot IIRC.

>>15618917
She kinda helped him in the end so I doubt she really hated him. And MC is not very likable person in the first place. Also you should read loli's H-scenes, they're funny as hell.

>>15618923
I found it repetitive but it wasn't intolerable. Sharnoth was way shittier.

>Basically every line of Gahkthun (again, at least as far as I got into it) earns itself several repetitions. Characters talk in circles about simple topics, as you might expect, but even worse are the flat monologues by the narrator. The visual novel’s first major scene involves a man cursing a ringing bell, which goes on (and on and on and on) for dozens of lines about how sinister the bell is, and how haughty the man. Even if these ideas were rendered in beautiful prose (they aren’t – the text has a rhythm, but it’s simply staggered and repetitive, and doesn’t employ the kind of evocative imagery, internal melody, or graceful phrasing that might bring this sort of repetition to life), they still wouldn’t earn this level of continuous re-emphasis. And this trend continues through every other element of the text.

Nobody likes episodic games. Pay 20 bucks up front and maybe get an ending in two, three years? Fuck that

>>15618917
My interpretation is that she was secretly in love with MC.

>>15619008
dungeon and daimeiwaku looks terrible.

Have played this and Gold in the past few weeks - rather cool for a porn game, but now I'm burned out. Anything else in the same vein (apart from Rance, of course) available?

She didn't hate him per se, she just hated how much the MC was destroying the "Euphoria" experiment. After all, he was the one who Nemu was protecting and delaying all the despair she needed to create the new Euphoria.
After that, the lab was closed and Kanae tried to create another Euphoria with Nemu, but because of her mental state, my guess is that Kanae understood that she loved Nemu from the begining and was only protecting her for that reason.

Still, like the other anon said, the last part feels really rushed. I would like at least another hour or two of reading just to explain some shit.
And Rika/teacher routes are like foreshadowing of things, like Teacher's real job and how much batshit insane Rika can be if she was just dumped with the Clan/Nemu's faction

>>15619382
Just a note; The gameplay is a huge bitch in the beginning. Dungeon-crawling is essentially SMT.

Very entertaining world and characters, though.

>>15619394
Oh man rika route. Best mindbreak, even if the 2nd half of the story makes even less sense than the true route

>>15619394
I think the virtue of Euphoria is that while the plot doesn't ever make much sense, it never gets boring. The pace is nonstop craziness and it keeps getting crazier and crazier.

>>15619132
That's all Sakurai, dude. Wailing on a WAB game for repitition is like wailing on ice cream for being high in sugar.

Yeah. Euphoria was my VNOTY hands down. Maybe I'll re-read it in one or two years or just watch the OVA.

>The vns after Supipara have sold quite well and had much better reception in Japan.
That's because the Japanese are fucking children who will not buy VNs without naked tits in them.
And this is a fact.

>>15619582
That and the nukige-esque factor of the H-scenes in the post-Supipara games. Which the English audience will get a taste of with Trinoline, I guess.

>>15619582
Just like the west then.

>>15619592
Trinoline seems geared toward the western audience , so I doubt it will be nukige-esque.

>>15619601
The small snippets of the H-CGs seems to be in the completely same vein as the post-Supipara minori games.

>>15619592
I found it hilarious how the OP for the next game after Supipara looked like it was done in Flash.

>>15619582
>That's because the Japanese are fucking children who will not buy VNs without naked tits in them.

That's like half this thread though

>>15619630
Well, the matter was poor sales in Japan so I didn't want to touch that part.

Is the Steam meme finally dead?

>>15619643
It should be. Ironically some of the best-selling vns on Steam are the ones that have porn.

Steam was always full of tards.

The cherry blossom effects seem to be killing performance on certain computers, not even toasters.

If my system has that issue I go into my Nvidia control panel and switch the game to run on the stronger GPU.

>almost every recent release has flopped
How do we fix this guys?

>>15620021
License vns that people will actually want to pay for.

>>15620021
Quit targeting the Steam audience, since their buying behavior is too unpredictable. Release games that the core fanbase wants and just use Steam as extra sales.

>>15614150
What was Mangagamer's DRM anyway? That soft denchi crap which doesn't even encrypt the whole executable?

Yes.

How do we stop the haro flooding our timeline (with BL to make it worse)?

You are retard if you thinks Tokyo Babel, Fata and Gakhtun is what Steam audience wants.
Its clear as fucking day that they wants light-hearted shit with cute girls/boys.

>>15620111
That BL looks fun. I really wanna know the name because I dont know those kanji.
Haro, if you are here, please tell me the name.

It's not BL. It's an otome game (picture related, it's the protag), and a pretty fucked up one at that.

Thanks Haro. You really hyped it for me with those facial expresion and art.

>>15620111
I thought that was an otome based on a twisted version of Snow White.

>>15620144
Just about everything put on Steam in the early days was successful regardless of what it was, so MG thought they could license whatever plotge's they wanted and that they would automatically profit because of Steam.

Gahkthun wasn't originally intended to have a Steam release, that only happened later because its initial sales weren't that good.

>>15620179

It's really short, but the art's quite good and it's pretty interesting. The bad ends are a fucking riot too. All the VAs are strong, particularly the MC's in glasses-mode.

>>15620195

That's just this one route. It's all twisted fairytales. The prince from Snow White is a necrophiliac, Momotaro is a playboy who is literally fucking his animal followers, and Peter Pan except he's not actually Peter Pan has instituted the death penalty for anyone who dares to have sex in his domain. The MC's dakimakura came to life and lent her the magic glasses saying she could keep them if she went into the fairytale world and fixed one of the fucked up stories.

>>15620213
> was successful regardless of what it was
I don't actually remember any successful edgy/2deep4you vns on Steam without anime adaptation. I can understand why they licensed Fata since its dirt-cheap and worth a try, but what the fuck they thought while licensing Tokyo Babel is beyond me.

>>15620248
It was new, HD, and didn't have to be censored to be put on Steam. And for some reason Conjurer thought it was a kamige. Given it being all-ages only, it relied solely on the Steam audience for sales, which didn't pan out very well.

>>15620144
>Its clear as fucking day that they wants light-hearted shit with cute girls/boys.
Also helps if it is cheapish as well. People on steam keep gobbling up anything cheap/on sale even if they have hundreds of games in their backlog unplayed. Most things expensive end up being ignored until it is on sale unless it has a big advertising campaign or is some AAA title.

>>15620262
If you want to have a shot at mainstream success it has to be priced 10 bucks and have boobs in the steam icon. But even then I'm sure there's many who are content waiting for the next nekopara and won't buy titty cheap VN as well. There's no market there.

>>15620257
Should have done Bullet Butlers or Evolimit instead. But who knows maybe Propeller didn't give MG an option in the matter and thought they could make the steambux using Tokyo Babel because it didn't need to have stuff cut like you said.
