As Otakon starts today, the usual thread for Visual Novels at

>>2116252
Apparently Sono Hanabira New Generation is going to be one of the MG announcements.

Oh this exciting time again. Once more we learn what gets sacrificed to EOPs. As I always, I really hope it's not ８月.

>>15672004
It makes no sense to license that when Maidens of Michael and Snow White's Knight are basically required reading for it.

Hoping for Rance VI, anything else is a bonus.

>>15672004
>New Generation
But why? Like >>15672393 said, they need Maidens of Michael to work. Alongside, using another couple without the Reo/Mai is like shooting in the feat. They (or at least Reo) is the most popular girls in Hanabira series.

>>15672491
*are the most popular.

>>15672393
>>15672491
The post they linked is to a shitpost.

>>15672502
Maybe with the New Generation title, but we're gonna get a new Hanabira tomorrow.

Maidens of Michael makes the most sense. MG could even call it a sequel to Remembering How We Met.

it would be nice if we could get another lolige like sweet sweat in summmer this time..

>>15673308
I doubt they'd save a short nukige to announce at Otakon, since it's where they announce their major projects of the year. It could be a moege that's lolige-esque, but it's just as likely going to be a NTR title.

>>15673354
NTR is so weird. In general most porn could be NTR if you didn't decide to self insert into the person having sex.

As far as lower profile titles/nukige go, MG has an extra contention this year at Anime Weekend Atlanta at the end of September, and they would likely hold any such unannounced titles until then.

If they don't announce Rance, i'm ending it

>>15673900
Take Dovac with you.

I can't wait to see what new license(s) SP announces they're going to ruin tomorrow

>>15674126
They'll announce a partnership with Iris and will bring all-ages version of all their games to steam.

What if it's loli AND NTR?

I'm crossing my fingers that the New Partner announcements at the Mangagamer panel might mean more Otoge or BL, but I can't think of much I've seen staff talk about on Twitter that wasn't already announced at Anime Expo.

Mashou Megane's too recent of a release, even if I'd really like to see it stateside.

Please no, keep save that disappointment for Atlanta or Boston, wherever the September con is.

Okay sorry I didnt really look under game translation news, so I am gonna ask something everyone already knows and probably annoys you guys.

Anyway so Sekaiproject wants to release Maitetsu in the west, cut h-stuff probabaly some other filtered stuff, okay okay all that i get.
But isnt the game about romancing lolis?
At least one of them isnt a robot, so how are SJW even okay with that or do they want to neuter it even more?
(I just played Monobeno, so I assume Maitetsu is similiar)

>>15675727
They at last have better art then oelvn shit.

>>15675745

Technically they haven't said that an 18+ release is impossible yet. I fully expect them to keep stringing people along on it.

646KB, 1000x1622px

>>15675745
Maitetsu is a plotge about anthropomorfic trains with loli porn as extra. Monobeno was algo a plotge but with loli porn between the story.

>>15675808
Monobeno is yes a plotge but the romancing loli stuff was still there.

Well suppose Maitetsu might be different and those few scenes where prota has any "impure" thoughts can be rewritten to make it fitting for the western market.

>>15675745
Isn't it because they have people in the team who don't want to translate/touch pedo art?
I totally understand someone not wanting to be involved with such sinful content. Probably working in a company that translates and publishes 2D loli porn as business isn't the best idea.

>>15675745
SJWs don't care about VNs. Not sure why you'd even bring them up.
The reason SP avoids loli is the reason every other company does, it's a legal grey zone, even in the US which is one of the most liberal countries in the anglosphere when it comes to loli. They want to avoid it at all costs.

SP also believes the game will sell on its own merits (I have serious doubts about this, from both my own exposure to Maitetsu as well as the Japanese reception), but the Japanese developer also thinks people will play it for the story.
Monobeno would work as all-ages (it even has an all-ages version),so Maitetsu probably could. If the developer helps. Regardless, in both cases there's "objectionable" content other than the sex scenes that SP is very likely to want to cut or edit.
One of SP's staff also said Maitetsu is cute not pedo, so that's certainly how they'll try to market it.

>>15676020
Maitetsu is in a bad spot if the only localization will be all ages. It seems like it'll be both too long and too expensive for the Steam people who bought Nekopara for <$10. Along with that, pretty much every plot heavy game that didn't already have an existing fanbase (Muv Luv) has not done all that well this year.

I don't see a lot of success for it if this past calendar year is anything to go by, but I'm just an anonymous guy on the J.

How many projects do sekai have going at the minute anyway, it seems like they have a lot of stuff yet to be released

>>15676100
They can hijack as many fan translation projects as there are.

meanwhile JAST only has 12.

>>15676169
It takes a long time to gut the ero from a game.

>>15672447
01 is more likely. Even so though, I think a Rance game is unlikely.

>>15675525
Maria's a fujoshi though, so I think a yuri game's more likely (because there wasn't one announced in AX).

>>15676429
>fujoshi
>yuri
I don't think that means what you think it means.

>>15676437
Yuri's a weird genre that has both a prominent female and male fanbase. It's not like Yaoi where the fanbase is overwhelmingly female.

>>15676447
I'm not talking about the word Yuri.

>>15676169
Wasn't Subahibi completed last year, too

>>15676497
I think Subahibi's its own thing.

>>15676497
It became legit, so we have to wait. I'd give it at least 3 years.

>>15676414
Arunaru said his secret project was what you think or something similar, and that he didn't have to do a lot of work on it. This means its either the mostly finished Rance games, or some really short gameplay thing. I'm going to go with Rance on this one, and since 6 is the one Arunaru worked one I'm expecting that one.

>>15675742
Last year in the Otakon thread I made I said Supipara was part of the announcements and it was. I'll say it again. Expect Supipara chapter 2 to be part of the announcements.

Is this panel live streamed?

>>15676752
I doubt Mangagamer made 35k in Supipara/Eden sales in a week.

>>15677102
Anything is possible when you fudge the numbers.

>>15677108
While I can see them faking the numbers in the future, it's too soon. Ch 2 will be funded in a year at worst through Steam sales.

Probably trying to draw attention to the changing colors of her twitter avatar.

And also, while I haven't caught all the colors because I haven't been paying attention, I kind of think it's just a subtle reference to 5d's roulette.

>>15677039

Outlook for a stream seems poor. What's worse is no live transcript either. We'll have to do it the hard way, searching for people twitting about the panels.

these "predictions" just end up as projected blind hope.

Is there anybody who actually deduces based on hints/reason?

>>15677525
I feel you. Go read hmanga if you want to fap!

>>15677843
"Reason" is for squares.

>>15677843

There's pretty ample evidence lying around for the rance predictions.

Mangagamer confirmed a yuri announcement, and everyone's favorite autist craig donson is hyping it up, so there's your sonohana evidence.

Koestl is hyping up the con, and there was that purple hint earlier in the year. Not exactly hard proof, but sona nyl seems like a fair guess out of that.

Those are all pretty common predictions. There's also more spurious stuff like sorcery jokers matching the hint earlier in the year, or stuff matching up to that lolige/ntr genre title.

>>15677953
Purple soft as a new partner would be more suitable for a purple hint. But I don't really think their hinting skills is top notch.

>>15677978
>Purple soft as a new partner would be more suitable for a purple hint. But I don't really think their hinting skills is top notch.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but the steampunk games all have color-coded titles. Just as, for example, gahkthun was yellow(golden) lightning, Sona-nyl is purple shadow. Not to mention that the entire game has a purple theme. And that Koestl is the one who's hyping it. And that he said he'd be working with mangagamer again near the end of the year. And that it's got an all-ages cut so as to be steam-ready.

And also that purple soft is already with sekai.

>>15677430
Good prediction.

http://mangagamer.org/announcements
MG has a timer on the page.

>>15678630
why

>>15678634
Huh, It didn't appear due to script blocking.

>>15678637
I like seeing the heroine nude, enjoy her reactions on sexual scenes and I feel sort of a connection with her because she loves me enough to give herself to me. I guess that part of the reason of me thinking like this is because of how sexualized this industry usually is along with 4chan lurking and multiple doujins.

However, I can appreciate a VN that doesn't include sexual content on its japanese edition. However, if it's localized and censored that's obviously a problem.

>>15678678
you know your responding to an obvious troll right?

>>15678687

>>15678008
>Sona-nyl
It would be retarded to safe another steampunk crap for Otakon when gahkthun tanked. Given how many people get disappointed with gahkthun, Sona-nyl going to sell even less.
Wouldn't put it past MG to do this though.

>>15678733
>gahkthun tanked
MangaGamer said Liar-Soft is satisfied with Gahkthun sales. You shouldn't rely on /jp/ asspulls when it comes to measuring success of VNs, 90% of time /jp/ is ridiculously wrong.

>>15678607
Sekai's panel is 12:45 PM. So about 3 hours from now.

With any luck, it'll at least provide entertainment of the internet shitstorm kind.

>>15678792
Where did they say that?

1 hour to SP's panel.

Its funny how sekai doesn't have booth but has panel. Licensing shit but never releasing anything.

>>15679315
Cue "Unlimited License Works" chant with "Yet these hands will never release anything." line in it.

>>15678927
Aren't they the new JAST? They can announce all they want but they don't have the staff to translate. In fact, I'm just gonna call them LAST.

>>15679331
Nah, that's JAST's. Sekai's is "I have no releases. This is the only path."

>>15679334
Funny thing is, they have WAY more shit announced than them. They managed to out-JAST JAST.

>>15679334
JAST never picked up the volume of titles SP has. While both of them are extremely slow at releases, SP probably has more stuff licensed right now than JAST has released/licensed in their lifespan.

Sekai released Root Double.
So, they CAN release things

>>15679370

>>15679378
>>15679376
So when JAST pays translators, they're the ones translating it, but when Sekai does the same thing, it doesn't count?
It wasn't a released fan translation, it was an official translation done by a legit company, Lemnisca translations

>>15679386
It was done before licensed by sekai.

>>15679391
Wouldn't be released if not for Sekai

>>15679394
Yes, it would be, like every other fan-tl by lemnisca. And it would be released earlier and we would also get other games from series and we wouldn't have previous patches deleted.

>>15679394
The point is that SP so badly mismanages their projects that anything not nearly complete before they touch it gets delayed forever or never releases.

Was looking at steamspy, Grisaia no Meikyuu sold on same level as fucking Fata Morgana?
Uh huh, seems like all that NEKOPARA CROWD didn't work well for you, herkz?

>>15679428
They're waiting for the +18 version.

>>15679386
>a legit company, Lemnisca translations
Funny how prior to the license, it was a fan group, but by some magical alchemy it becomes a "legit company" overnight despite nothing changing about the people involved.

>>15679432
But every sekai project shill claims 18+ versions don't matter and nobody buys them, this cannot be true.

>>15679404
Probably wouldn't have that shit editing job, too.

They can't have constant announcements

>>15679829

Good things never happen, be prepared for a 'but wait' after Q&A, so that nobody can ask questions about what will inevitably be an 18+ title getting stripped down.

Maybe Sekai really is leaving VNs

>>15679837
You'd think they would've saved at least 1 noteworthy thing for Otakon, but apparently nope.

Where is my main man Ryan Caldwell?

Nobody at a con is a normalfag.

>>15679837
Honestly Baldr was literally the only "wow" announcement they have done in 3 years

>>15679838
They're not asking about loli porn. They're asking if they're only going to release a butchered, incomplete version of the VN.

>>15679844
They can publish on Vita and PS4 now. They're also getting into manga and anime. What do they need the visual novel crowd for now?

So, what did they tell during QA? Any news on maitetsu / baldr 18+?

>>15679838
If I was there, I would. That shit ain't illegal in my state, I got no worries.
Like anyone gives a fuck what congoers think of them, anyway. How the hell is somebody going to an anime convention going to judge a lolicon? Especially at a VN panel, of all things.

Who is then? The Nekopara audience doesn't give a shit about anything other than Nekopara as shown by the Karakara sales. The "core" audience was told to fuck off as well, so what is left?

>>15679739
I had a good laugh but thinking about how much some of Sekai's drivel has made compared to Fata just makes me want to die.

>>15679435

They were registered as a "legit" "company" months before Root Double's announcement but for god knows what reason, they only announced they were a company after the release.
Maybe to ship from Sekai Project and reach out to other publishers.
Or maybe they're working on getting licenses of their own.
Conjueror did joke about working on Dies Irae with Lemnisca for April Fools...

>>15679970
The Playstation audience

>>15679844
They don't want dirty gross VN fan money anyway, makes sense. We've only been told we're not the target demographic a million times.

>>15679980
We know that GundamAce works on some (big?) project though.

>>15679976
Such is life. Unless it has cute cat girls on the cover no one will buy SP's shit either.

>>15679991
The PlayStation audience doesn't care either, although maybe they can get some of their indieshit jRPGs to sell on Vita.

>>15679991
Can't wait for inevitable failure to sell even 1000 units since western consoles audience doesn't read books.

>>15679980
>to ship from
to jump ship from*

>>15679728
I hope that it will turn out better than Sound of Drop since I couldn't connect with its characters or feel something about its story at all.

>>15680001
>to sell on Vita
I feel trying to go for the Vita is a big mistake as it is mostly abandoned in the west. I mean you might be able to corner the market with no competition, but that market isn't exactly large.

Forgot to post mine. What did SP announce?

>>15680001
The non-existent Vita audience will eat literally anything released on vita, though. As long as its anime.

>>15680027

Nothing.

BL sucks and is utterly unreadable, otomege is best.

Fight me.

>>15680027
A lot of all-ages Indie VNs (a lot sound to be OELVN) and a JRPG. Nekopara Anime Kickstarter already was announced I think too.

So you got everything right except them getting a single really good 18+ VN that they would censor which thankfully wasn't the case.

>>15675696
I would legitimately suck MG's dick if they did WA 2. It's too fucking long, though.

>>15680021
The market does have competition, though. Companies like Compile Heart, NISA and Experience have the niche weeblord audience in the palm of their hands.

So I think I have a full writeup of SP, please make any corrections

Old Stuff:
(Anime) Nekopara Anime Kickstarter
(Manga) GATE Manga
(OELVN) Human Reignition Project
(OELVN) Sakura Spirit
(OELVN) Yume no Sono
(VN) Memory's Dogma
(VN) Narcissu Hardcopies

New Stuff:
(VN) Fatal Twelve
(VN) The Emerald Tablet
(VN) Dairy Princess

>>15680059
Why isn't Monster Monpiece uncensored on Steam yet?

>>15680067
Emerald tablet and Dairy princess are games.

>>15680067
> (VN) Memory's Dogma
Is not this OELVN also?

>>15680059
I think even some of them are starting to give up on the Vita as they are now porting lots of their titles to the PC market.

>>15680067
Sakura Spirit announcement was about its manga.

They also talked about the Sekai Project shop along with their Nekopara merchandise.

>>15680078
http://lizarts.info/
No, it just hasn't been released anywhere yet.

>>15680078
Japanese doujin that was kickstarted.

>>15680078
It's developed by LizArts. SP is only publishing it.

>>15680075
>>15680086
Thanks

All VN are games

http://www.strawpoll.me/10984103

>>15680102
Yes, but there's a big difference between something focused on gameplay and something focused on story.
If the story is just a foil for the gameplay to fit into it's more game than VN.

>>15680095
>>15680097
>>15680099

>>15680069
Currently in beta testing afaik.

>>15680102
Nah. They're under the vague umbrella of "interactive electronic medium" with real vidya and walking simulators. Some also happen to be games, but that doesn't mean all of them are.

>>15680133
That guy doesn't even seem to be at the con, how would he know that?

>>15678421
I've said this before, but SP is literally a hot potato. They aren't 'not making android versions because they don't want to bother'. It's that they have so little liquid money that they can't afford to do anything but host more Kickstarters and license/release OELVNs. When it comes to stuff like Leyline and SakuSaku, they're delayed almost surely because SP can't afford to pay them at the moment.

It's literally a Jenga tower on the verge of collapse.

>>15677430
I'd be surprisingly okay with that. The anime was fucking hilarious.

>>15680171
Apparently someone was talking about the Q&A elsewhere.

>>15680173
>they have so little liquid money
Why don't they just put their cash into a blender then?

>>15677525
I stopped playing videogames because they kept trying to cater to a larger market and bakaify things.

Now my niche market is going through the same process. Fuck this world, where do I even evacuate to?

>>15680171

If that's not enough there's also http://disq.us/p/1awdfv6

Face it, dovac lied

>>15680133
OELVNs and old news too. Why did they even bother coming? Do they really think people give a shit about their no-name dual-language doujin crap?

> SP announced more titles when they can't even release a tenth of the ones they already have going.
> They haven't met basically any Kickstarter promise.
> They managed to poison the entire VN industries' well with their own greed.

I don't think you could find anyone to go back in time and manage SP worse from the onset.

It's times like this that I wish dovac didn't nuke his twitter. I'm sure there'd be some amusing shit on it right now

>>15680202
There's still Anime Fest and Anime Weekend Atlanta.

>>15679641
Nah, he's making games now. Good riddance.

I really hope dovac goes bankrupt, he's a terrible human being.

>>15680133
>On AX: We'll have news about +18 versions on Otakon
>On Otakon: Sorry but we cannot say anything
Profissional service as always

>>15680242
B-b-but its all jap devs fault, they prohibit ever telling about content they already licensed!

So, do we all agree that MG wins by default?

They could announce 6 below-average nukiges and they'd be better.

>>15680242
Before that they said they would do it at AX too.

>>15680229
He would just be telling us we should be grateful for all the "great" games they are bringing to us and without them the western scene would be dead.

>>15680242

Actually it was

"Wait for AX for news about maitetsu"
AX comes and goes
"Wait for the next con for news about maitetsu and baldr sky"
And thus now otakon has come and gone

You don't even need confirmation you already know the answer.

>>15680250
They're probably saving most of their low tier nukige for Atlanta. Sekai has a panel there too, but MG will still almost definitely win.

>>15679813
C-can't I just play Atelier instead? I mean, Escha to Logy was some of the most fun I've had for the past year.

Though my sister was perturbed at how I'd spend hours on a menu screen making the perfect equipment.

>>15680264

Play Imouto Paradise with her instead.

We're hours away of MG devastating SP announcements.

We're hours away from delicious Rancefag tears

>>15680230
>Anime Fest
Isn't that going on right now too?
Has SP ever had presence in two cons at once?

She's 2 years older than me. It wouldn't work.

Speaking of that, why is there no translated onee-chan focused nukige/moege? There's a ton of imouto ones, but no onee-chan.

>>15680309
I want to see the looks on their faces when we get Escalayer.

I'd be cool with Evenicle or Rance though.

>>15680293

>Mangagamer

Devasting anything, they going announce shit yuri,moege and nukige.

>>15680311
If /a/ anything to go by its seems west love little sisters more. I am fine with both.

>>15680198
HRPG Maker Games.

>>15680357
Still better than OELVNs and Chinese RPGs.

>>15680357
Which is what we want, of course. Just look at the sales.

>>15680357
> tfw dovac thinks his banana-land doujin oelvns are better than based nukiges.

>>15680357
Only way they could fuck up more than Sekai is if there were 6 hardcopy announcements. Even announcing only 1 Softhouse Seal title would let them beat Sekai, at least for me.

>>15680390
Good Haro confirmed there will be no hard copy announcements.
And there are 2 new partners, which obviously couldn't even theoretically be hard-copies.

>>15680357
> moege
I am honestly more hyped for SukiSuki than all-age Baldr Sky.

We're probably going to get at least a couple moege, since they only really have three of them pending release, none have been released recently, and one is episodic.

>>15680403
Honestly, I'm more looking forward to Himawari and Bocchi Musume. N-no homo.

We all know all-ages Baldr Sky won't use Aroduc's translation and will be a ghetto-ly put together project instead.

>>15680403
Baldr Sky isn't even that good.
Story is so thoroughly littered with asspulls and deus exes that I'm amazed it was so hyped by certain crowd. And then there's issue with constant flashbacks, and then protagonist who is supposed to be ruthless mercenary with years of experience yet who acts like helpless schoolboy. Chinatsu route of Dive1 was most retarded thing I read in quite a while.

South American devs are based you faggots

>Sekai Project Announces Next Wave of Exciting New Titles for PC and PlayStation Platforms at Otakon
This press-release is such cancer.

Why doesn't Sekai Project just localize actual games instead of eroge if they have such aversions when it comes to anything ero?

>>15680551
> all those random words being capitalized.
??

>>15680399
Joke

Head

That aside, I'm still expecting the most recently added announcement to be a hardcopy (in case the Good Haro in the thread is fake).

>>15680562
>random
Don't You Know Old English? Capitalize Nouns.

>>15680562
Have you ever seen a title? For, uh, anything?

>>15680559
Actual game licenses cost money and have more competition than VNs

>>15680559
That's exactly what they're trying to do. They've been announcing more console games and shitty dj games lately.

>>15680559
There too much competition for actual games that aren't unknown stuff from South Timor for Sekai Project unlike with VNs where they can pretend they are the king in the West.

When was the last time, mangagamer released a kamige?

Fatamorgana but it flopped

>>15680598
Silly anon, you cannot release kamige in the west. The moment you license it, it stops being kamige, and its already complete kusoge when ready to be released.

>>15680598
MG usually releases middle-of-the-line titles.

>>15680598
Himawari soon for the next big meme kamige
Otherwise it's really up to your interpretation I guess. I really liked Euphoria

>>15680598
Tokyo Babel is a kamige

>>15680622
Literally.

Rabi Ribi was fucking great, but these new games don't seem to have the same kind of love put into them. I hope to be wrong because I love these little weeb games.

>>15680598
Maggot baits will be the top of kamige and it'll also be MG's lifetime best seller, that's all that matters.

>>15680598
>but it flopped
I bought it twice ;_;

>>15680631
Dovac pls go.

>>15680598
It was probably dirt cheap as a doujin property, and, given they licensed the sequel/fandisk, it was almost surely profitable.

>>15680645
>It was probably dirt cheap as a doujin property
But it got released on 3ds in japan! Surely it's worth more than most other titles.

>>15680598
> Fatamorgana
> kamige
Moogy shit on it, so its kusoge.

>>15680645
>given they licensed the sequel/fandisk, it was almost surely profitable.
that was actually technically announced in the game itself. once you beat the title for the first time there's extra stuff where the staff makes comments through the characters and stuff, really funny and all.

at the end they announce the fandisc localization. so it was decided before sales hit i think

>>15680652
it's pretty popular in japan, more so than it is here that's for sure.

for the drama CDs they got some pretty top VAs

MG VNs I'm saving my pennies for:

Sukisuki - /jp/'s game
Fata Morgana Fandisk
Dal Segno
Bitchmusume Produce

Otakon:
????

>>15680655
That's actually all the more reason to love it.

Sure thing.

I suppose we'll check the usual place since there's no stream?

Bayoab so far only mentions AX.
But Otakon starts right about now, no? Or what time zone exactly are we talking about?

>>15681150

>>15680107
What is wrong with you guys? It was obviously A rank panel since they didn't ruin any games.

>>15681610
I can't refute with that logic.

If Rance isn't announced I'm ending it.

Speaking of Rance, they have to start with VI right? there not going to go from newer to older graphics.. so the best plan would be to go VI then 01 or quest. Plus wasn't VI partly translated already?

>>15679789
They're just partnering up with publishers who actually can deliver the console promise since their own ass couldn't do it after 3 years.
