Are there any torrents for Detective Masochist yet?

It's a bit sad that people here are uncertain that Dies Irae, literally the most hyped game in the scene, will succeed. You realize that it's only even coming out in English because there's been so much hype for it, right? People have been begging for the game nonstop for years to the extent that even Japan noticed.

>>15822095
It's being brought over because it is being developed into a huge multi-media franchise next year (centered around the anime), and they see their title as comparable to Clannad, Grisaia, and Muv Luv, all of which were runaway successes on Kickstarter.

The reason why people are concerned is that as much as the VN community may want it, most of the revenue for the hugely successful kickstarters did not come from the VN community, but rather the broader anime community, at a time when the market was more favorable to VN kickstarters. All three of those titles had reasons they were known by that community, something Dies Irae does not currently have.

Nope, not at all. Being in the list is not an indicator of quality.
VNTS guy is autist and he is known for supporting a lot of machinetl project. He don't give a single fuck about the quality of the translation. About 70% of the fan tl list is fuwanovel-tier.

I wish they would let you play 4:3 windowed mode at least. There is no excuse to not let you do that, while you can always claim the CG looks fat if stretched and black borders look bad.

>>15822969
I doubt they had a choice in the matter. Waffle probably wanted the HD version to be put out and that's what they did.

>>15822969
Into the trash it goes

>>15822993
>I wish they would let you play 4:3 windowed mode at least
the HD release does do that, but in both the Japanese and English versions it still utilizes the cropped CGs. which is weird.

it's like, why did Waffle bother including the 4:3 option unless they were going to let you see the original artwork?

>>15822572
>>15822652
I am not that anon. But I actually care to some degree.
We don't use the imperial system for anything whatsoever. I have absolutely no clue what these numbers mean without a calculator and a conversion table.

I'd be lying if I was to pretend it's that big a deal. But I would also be lying if I would say that it's not a let down to not get anything out of their weight and three sizes.
I don't know how feasible a patch would be. But I'd really appreciate it.

I don't understand how an entire industry can fail at HD. Making the word mean worse edition is not good PR.

>>15823024

some do it right. the Rance VI HD version will not be widescreen and is at the original aspect ratio.

euphoria HD release is another good example.

>>15823029
MG should take the opportunity and write "True HD" as a tag for that title. Would probably sell more on that alone.

>>15823029
Rance version is upscaled though not original assets so that's hardly 'doing it right'

287KB, 1920x960px

>>15823037
no, that's wrong. they're using original resolution assets for the assets that still exist, and upscaling the rest. it's a combination of the two.

can't be helped i suppose, it's a really old game, assets are bound to have gone missing. they are working with Alicesoft though in that regard.

you can make an upscale look convincing enough with enough editing, really. they just need to hire someone to get autistic with it.

the preview image of one of the upscales looks perfectly fine. though i'm not sure if this one is an upscale or if it's an original asset.

>>15823037
Doesn't really matter since you can modify the resolution anyway.

>>15823045
The majority are upscales according to Haro.

Whether or not they look good isn't the point though. Crops look fine for the most part, but they're still bad practice because you know what they've done, and upscaling is no different.

>>15823054
>Crops look fine for the most part, but they're still bad practice because you know what they've done, and upscaling is no different.
this is a pretty bad comparison since in a crop you inevitably lose a lot of the art.

you don't lose any of the art in an upscale, and i don't see any cause for concern at the moment since >>15823045 looks perfectly fine.

if it ends up looking like shit i'll eat my words.

>>15823154
Except it's spaced out like N _ M _ _ A I _ _ _ N _ _ _ _ _ I _

>>15822433
MG used all the names that the Japanese writer wanted to them to, so there's your answer.

>>15822364
Apparently so many people are complaining that vns are too low res at 800x600 that companies, MG included, have become more determined to release HD versions when possible. It's why Rance VI and Sona-Nyl are getting HD upgrades.

>>15823045
I think that if it's obvious the upscales look bad, it'll be because the original assets look much unusually better.

As long as they edit enough, the upscales will be fine in and of themselves.

>>15823334
Rance VI isn't even that, the Japanese release is 640x480. While Sona-Nyl those assets already exists in Japan, so if they are able to use them, might as well.

On the other hand, the Sonohana title they picked up is 800x600 and they are keeping that.

>>15823334
The crowd that wants HD is probably bigger than the crowd that hates cropping and upscales. Though, I'm personally fine with the latter as long as it's not too half-assed, and even the former isn't usually a deal breaker. At most, it's just an extra reason to not buy something.

>>15822588
They probably did it because it will most likely get a hardcopy and they sell most of those at cons in the US. As an North American buyer though, I don't care what system they used, so they could've just left it like it was, or have both systems side-by-side.

>>15822579
All full length titles are this price on MG.

>>15823350
>The crowd that wants HD is probably bigger than the crowd that hates cropping and upscales.
This and the fact that people don't even notice it half the time. Most don't bother checking or looking into that kind of thing, they see HD and are good to go.

Hell, some guy got mad at me because I pointed it out to him, kek.

>>15823357
Not all. Though yeah, it's usually about the 35-45 range. Harukoi Otome is $50 for some bizarre reason though.

>>15823334
It sounds like your attempt to explain HD releases would be about as true as claiming they are doing all-ages because so many people complained about the porn.

I'm sure it is just companies attempting to keep things fresh. If they make a HD version they can sell to those who own the normal version too.

Best is doing normal -> Hard copy -> HD -> HD Hard copy so you can sell 4 games.

>>15823067
Hopefully they throw enough money to around to get an 18+ Baldr Sky release, or as they say "Baldr's Sky". Even with their iffy history, they should be fine with most of Sekai's relatively tame stuff aside from Maitetsu, even if they would have no shot of going after something like MG's Clockup titles, Alicesoft titles, or dark nukige.

>Cropping in Kyonyuu Fantasy
Literally only a problem in the HD release of the first game as the rest of the series is native widescreen

>>15823409
I don't even care, honestly. I haven't fapped to it once and am just reading it for the surprisingly enjoyable story/characters at the point.

Lactation and tons of paizuri isn't really my thing. Though some of the H-scenes are pretty funny.

>>15823367
Any full length titles being $35 has been a recent thing. Haruka for example had very little voice acting and it's the same for Kindred Sprits. Rance VI isn't voice acted either from what I remember.

Harukoi Otome likely suffers from Baseson's extremely expensive VAs. Koihime Musou ate up the cost by breaking even at 2,000 copies sold, but with Harukoi Otome they likely just increased the price to make up for the high costs.

>>15823380
Haro mentioned on twitter that HD is a bigger deal to people than they claim it is, until the game is out and say it's too small or blurry in lower res.

>>15823429
That's probably true, but >>15823380 is also correct. Basically every media industry loves re-releasing shit and using 'remasters' as a reason to do so.

Can't tell you how many fucking versions of this one album I have. Jesus christ.

>>15823380
Except MG's surveys have shown that a majority of people prefer HD releases. Which would mezns they would aim to have them over not having them.

>>15823429

Yeah, it's one of those things people whine about a lot without really being cognizant of it as a selling point. Like, they're not thinking "I will only buy HD releases!", they just don't like how SD looks and bitch about it. Hell, a lot of them don't even seem to understand why fullscreening a game doesn't magically make it perfectly crisp.

>>15823367

Generally MG's pricing is related directly to script length. Longer games cost more. We've been experimenting with pricing more lately though, so it's not strictly true for everything. Steam titles have other considerations too.

>>15823457
Why Doodler started working on SukiSuki when DC3 is not finished yet?

>>15823467
He's busy being a font slave.

>>15823441
Now let them make a poll if people want cropped graphics with 20% of the art missing. Will it be the same result?

You need very little intelligence to be able to tell that when people read HD they assume the company owns big art assets and that instead of cropping 800x600 from the image, they will crop 1920x1080 from the image and you'll get so much more content.

>>15823467
sukisuki confirmed for coming out this year

>>15823462
I'd be more worried if they didn't understand why fullscreening 4:3 on a 16:9 doesn't keep the ratio and cover the entire screen.

>>15823421
>Haruka for example had very little voice acting
"no"

>>15823493
Not little, but partial.

>>15823521
If by partial you mean absolute majority.

>>15823429
This is probably an issue for anyone who plays windowed. Even I can't play some earlier titles windowed, they are way too small to read, or all the space occupied by my wallpaper just annnoys me. When those sorts of games don't have scalable windows then you have no choice but to do fullscreen, which probably isn't ideal for everyone.

>>15823538
I want windowed fullscreen, so I can do stuff on my other monitor without the game crashing to desktop or completely. Sadly, very few games actually do this (from the recently TLed ones, I can remember that Koiken Otome and Frontwing games had it; MG never has it), so I am forced to use windowed and lower my screen resolution on the main monitor.

>>15823556
>MG never has it
You're full of shit, anon.

What the shit is up with Tokyo Babel's fullscreen?

>>15823565

>>15823583
I'm playing Princess Evangile right now and it has borderless windowed.

Japanese developers in general just don't put it in, that's why it's not too common. I'm pretty sure eden had it as well.

>>15823478
Where?

>>15822364
That sucks, if only MG was able to frankenstein up their version by mixing in the original 4:3 with the 16:9 art, so that you could switch it on the fly.

CG in question:

>>15824033
You can usually see more of the CGs when you make the dialogue box more see through. The fact that you couldn't connect the dots is kind of sad.

>>15824062
actually not so, in this case. everything above the border in >>15823959 is the entire image. even when you utilize the old, original resolution it still uses the cropped assets.

you can adjust the textbox opacity, yes, but see the blue box behind the textbox? you can't adjust the opacity of that at all.

>>15824062
You merely need to look at the top of the screen to see the difference.

>>15824069
Weird, having nothing behind it but a blue box is unusual.

>>15824077
well, it's just there to fill in the gaps from the cropped widescreen image when you're in 4:3 instead of 16:9.

kind of weird they didn't just make it so it used the old images.

>>15824082
Were the images polished in the HD re-release or something? Unless they look different from the original, I can't see why they couldn't just use two different images depending on the resolution chosen. Aside from the bloat from twice the amount of images, I guess.

Maybe it would be a good idea to remove the blue image and instead show the full original arts.

Or well, I guess considering the resolution it would be original art resized.

>>15823462
Speaking of pricing, this isn't won't be an issue for a while, but how will Sengoku be priced? It's an old full length game, and unlike VI and 5D, can't really be bundled with anything to justify $35. Except maybe Slash, Thrust, Burn, I guess.

I doubt with all the Nekopara and Sakura money that Sekai is too poor, just they don't see it making enough money on Denpasoft alone to be worth it.

>Assuming they don't nuketaku the content.

They aren't really doing that anymore, and even if they did, CG swaps are easier to fix then needing to translate everything.

>>15824517
Somehow I think having Doddler negotiate on behalf of Aroduc, and anyone but Dovac negotiate on behalf of Sekai Project, is to the benefit of both parties.

>>15824553
I bet the person who voted "yes" on Aroduc strawpoll was Doddler.

>>15824371
>Alla sätt är bra utom de dåliga
Aroduc is Swedish?
I wish him luck either way. Hopefully we'll get a proper Baldr Sky some day. And hopefully Sekai Project doesn't profit from it.

>>15824517
>Though with the phrasing Aroduc put with how they told them to walk away after handing it over I am not sure it is going to work out.
What did I miss?

>>15824588
If it's uncut thanks to Nutaku and Aroduc translates it, then they can profit all they want as there would be no longer a reason to complain. After all unless it does well, Baldr Heart won't follow.

>>15824594
SP got BS but didn't bother to tell the translation team, the team offered to sell it to SP, SP gave some shit offer for the partial that not only was low but stated that they didn't want the team involved to translate the rest of it, Aroduc ate some hot sauce and spewed some words at Dovac that give him some anal pain. And thus the VN community got some oishii drama.

>>15824588
>Hopefully we'll get a proper Baldr Sky some day. And hopefully Sekai Project doesn't profit from it.
My hope is that if negotiations fail, Sekai will end up being forced into doing it themselves. Once released (in 5 years) some guy called Cudora releases a fan patch that "retranslates" the game including the 18+ content. Is a lot harder for them to blame the fan patch for anything after that, since if someone wanted to pirate they could have just pirated the official version.

>>15824626
I'm hoping Sekai does a KS for Baldr Sky and it succeeds, only for Sekai to not be able to deliver nearly on time.

Stalling on World End Economica is one thing, Baldr Sky is another.

>>15824670
Why would it make a difference? Clannad is the only KS of theirs that hasn't suffered a ton of delays.

>>15824572
How many "yes"s were there?

>>15824687
2 so I assume the other person was Dovac.

>>15824694
One of them was me so it couldn't have been both.

Cropped CG
Terrorist named heroine

Thank you for this gem, Sekai- I mean MG.

>>15824758

>>15824758
>No honorifics
Where does this game take place? If Japan then I drop this shit.

>>15824758
>Imperial units
Not even a problem unless you're autistic. The cropped cg is bad though, I'll agree with that.

>>15824790
Fictional medieval kingdom

>>15824816
Not a problem then. I love honorifics but there's nothing wrong with removing them in not-Japan setting.

>>15824810
Only autistic people want to look at units and understand them? You what mate? They went out of their way to change them too. This is next level localization. If I didn't know better, I'd say Herkz worked on this.

>>15824789
It was Eset actually. Fucking romans and their name localizations.

>>15824758
>Imperial units
Triggered.

>>15824810
You realise that for anyone who was never exposed to imperial system those numbers are nothing but gibberish? It's not a matter of personal preference like honorifics/no honorifics. It might be something of a low importance in a nukige and when imperial units are occasionally used somewhere in text usually it doesn't bother me. But when a game has entire datasheets in it and their contents looks nothing but a complete nonsense due to the system being used I take it as an offence. If converting everything into imperials is so important for Americans at least they should've left an option to choose the measurement system being displayed which really isn't much of work.

>>15825196
Yuuki isn't called Yuki either, sometimes in life you just have to accept things the way they are.

>>15825196
Isn't Imperial more correct for the time period? Most of the more important English speaking countries know what they are.

>I doubt with all the Nekopara and Sakura money that Sekai is too poor, just they don't see it making enough money on Denpasoft alone to be worth it.

Actually anon you do have to realize that was kind of years ago with Nekopara and the Sakura train is kind of dropping due to the oversaturation of it infiltrating the marketplace. I know everyone might say they are selling well now but with the amount that is hitting Steam with Sakura (insert title here) it will eventually start to lead to boredom with the titles just like all things. You can have a fanservice type of game but those eventually fall flat on their face because its mostly about that and not about the story. Just watch next year we are going to start hearing about how they can not afford anything and that the office move was a bad idea.

>>15824619
Not only that but it was way lower than what was asked Sekai did not even buy it from him before they got Baldr's gate they just decided to do it after. Kind of unprofessional really on their end.

>>15826457
>Actually anon you do have to realize that was kind of years ago

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the translation for Kyonyuu Fantasy. It doesn't seem like it was edited very well at all.

I kind of wish I had been taking screenshots of all the typos and awkward lines.

>>15826772
The translation was done by some new guy, not sure who did the editing.

Stuff like pic-related has happened more than a few times.

It should be, "So you were here as well, General Zant."

Simple mistake, of course, but when these things start piling up it's a little frustrating.

>>15826780
Also there's this weird issue where in sentences with italics, the adjacent word to the italicized word sticks to it for some reason.

Pretty consistent. I've seen this happen on every line with italics so far. This isn't really so much of a big deal, though.

>>15826457
Nekopara and Sakura both have done well this year, a few others have done decent, and they managed to get another big hit with Rabi-Ribi taking off. Their parade of crowdfunding for any significant title helps any title from being an outright failure, and even if a title like Root Double didn't live up to their expectations, it should have done at least well enough to avoid a meaningful loss. So at least in the short term they shouldn't be having significant problems yet.

Going forward might be a different story if the Steam market keeps contracting, though they now have the Sony and Nutaku deals to fall back on rather then being completely reliant on Steam.

>>15826780

>>15826893

Steins;Gate is still holding to the first page of top sellers on Steam, at 19th place at the moment.

>>15827089
famous anime and adv;sci fanbase is huge. what do you expect

the best vn business strategy is probably to make an amazing anime adaptation first to build the fanbase and then localize the game
hell it doesnt even have to start from the game. If the re:zero VN gets localized it'll sell like hell.

>>15827115
I'm thinking the Re:Zero VN probably will actually get localized because Re:Zero has gotten to be such a big deal here (especially since 5pb's actually looking our way now), but I'm conflicted because it seems to miss everything that's good about the series in favor of doing a fanservice-heavy waifu romp. I'd like to be mistaken but the screenshots and premise don't inspire much faith. At the same time, the girls really are excellent so I'm not entirely against the idea. I dunno.

>>15827129
Let's not get delusional about the flavor of the month.

At any rate. Steins;Gate's success even after all these years proves that VNs still have huge potential to sell in the west, especially via Steam. It's all a matter of finding the right game. And while it's certainly improved by the right timing, look at how well this is doing despite having taken so long.

Also, we sure have come a long way for it to be the case that anime VNs like Mandatory Happiness are actually getting official localizations. In the past I would have thought "Great, I'll never get to play this." But now, there's actually hope. Hell, it's not anime but we may still get 428 in English thanks to Steam. It's mindblowing.

not him but rezero pretty much is a FOTM. If it doesn't continue to air / get further adapted people will start talking about it less and less and then eventually move on to the next big (isekai) thing. SAO is smaller now and No Game No Life is like nonexistent now which were both FOTMs

>>15827205
It seems hard anon

>>15827263
Technically, everything is a flavour of a month thing in that case. People will talk less and less about something until it dies down. The test of impact is whether someone will still recommend it months or years down the road.

48KB, 1280x720px

>>15827263
The thing that separates Re: Zero from shit like SAO and NGNL is it's setting is unambiguously high fantasy, it's got a large cast of characters, it's slow paced, it's got a tonne of world building and it's not afraid to take some very large risks that are genre challenging, such as a main character who actually has a personality and isn't a carbon self-insert (and is at times very unlikable because of this) and completely burning all bridges of romantic possibility with sideheroines to subvert harem expectations in shows like this.

Long story short, what Re: Zero has going for it that other shows haven't got is that it's actually good. It's almost reminiscent of modern day Slayers just in an Isekai setting since that's the new hotness. So long as the author keeps moving the series at the pace its at, actually has an end goal in mind and doesn't get arrested for tax evasion, I'm sure the series will keep relatively high levels of popularity (especially since the LN series is currently being published in the west and a S2 is almost inevitable given it's popularity in Japan).

>>15826916
Any proof that is contracting?
Sounds like bullshit. Never seen a market saturate so fast.

>>15827548
Not him, but it may not be contracting but I feel it has peaked and going back to more stable numbers. Just flicking though some of the steamspy numbers seems to indicate that growth has been stagnant or being spread across too many titles causing consumer fatigue. Even the outliers like Nekopara and Sakura games are getting diminishing returns with newer releases.

https://steamspy.com/dev/Sekai+Project
https://steamspy.com/dev/MangaGamer
https://steamspy.com/dev/Frontwing

Steamspy may not be fully accurate but it gives a rough indication of where things are and datapoints to work with.

>>15827548
It's common knowledge that the steam market is very bearish right now, particularly for Indie games. The steam market place is full of trash due to Greenlight so Steam buyers are far more skeptical of purchases than they were several yearrs ago.

Plus stuff like Go Go Nippon and Nekopara released when they were a novelty title. Now steam is full of weeb visual novels, most of which are very poor quality OELVNs, so newer releases are less likely to be noticed due to their being so many titles on the market.

What's the fullscreen hotkey for Funbags?
Alt+Enter doesn't work.

Is MG only going to translate the edgiest titles from Clockup from now on? Eroge was a bestseller, why not go for Ero Manga or Ero Goods? There's also Ore Tsuma, Tera Beppin or MAKO HUNTER, so many quality titles get passed over.

Well, Euphoria sold very well too, so maybe they just wanna stay on the edge-train while it's going.

I want Ero Manga too. Ero Goods was shit though.

>>15827790
Euphoria was probably more popular, and a lot of people vocally wanted Maggot Baits more than Eromanga.

Not to mention that they already have Imopara for a more normal long nukige release, hyper incest aside. And Rance since that has enough lewd to count as a nukige for the purposes of sales.

>>15827760
Indeed she's really cute. It's unusual to see a voice actress hyped for a english release.

>>15827790
Clock Up's titles sell well. I am sure they will get to them. I don't think they're passing on them.

>>15827760
>listens
Shes a cutie no doubt 8/10

>>15827790
>Is MG only going to translate the edgiest titles from Clockup from now on?

What's wrong with that? Clockup actually makes some unique games. Not every game needs to be about straight laced sex only.

On a sidenote I am playing through Euphoria and i am absolutely liking it so far it definitely will be in my top 10 for a long time. I can tell why it sold well on Mangagamer and would recommend it to anyone. I will be picking up Maggot Baits when it releases.

>>15827790
I am guessing Euphoria sold better, and considering how many titles MG has on their plate at the moment, they seem selective in what they picked up. They have upcoming titles announced from 20 Japanese developers, but aside from Circus, Moonstone, and 07th Expansion, they don't have multiple announced titles by a single developer to be released as multiple releases (along with Alicesoft with 2 Rance titles being done as a combo, and Hadaka Shitsuji to be released with its fandisc)

Kyonyuu Fantasy really surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to be so good. Hope they pick up more from the series or Waffle in general.

>>15827115
I've been saying for like 10 years that I'd buy the anime spinoff VNs. But you never get those because apparently anime VNs are expensive.

>>15828159
Probably because anime VAs are expensive. Plus making a VN from a well-known title means a lot of secondary costs (the original author has to get paid, maybe his publisher too, etc etc).

>>15827875
Rance 5D and Rance VI are nothing like nukige at all.

The scenes are like 20 lines max, have static cgs and are unvoinced and there is lots of gameplay in between.

>>15826780
>>15826893
You should make a list of errors Flowers-style.

>>15828214
The sheer number of them is enough for people to buy into the games thinking they're sex-romps. Doesn't matter what the ratio of ero to gameplay is. Sengoku has dozens of hours of gameplay but it's still known as being a Rance sexquest.

>>15828247
I know it as a Rapelay title where you have to rape all the women.

>>15828232
Flowers was completely wrong translations. FF is just auto correct run amok. And I'm curious if the font issue is in the commercial release, or if it only exists in torrented copies of the game.

Morals are just decorations of the heart

What did she mean by this? That morals are ONLY decorations or that morals are righteous?

>>15827089
I guess that's pretty good. I bought the collector's edition thing JAST USA had when they first localized it. I love it, but that's enough for me. I don't really feel like purchasing it yet again only on Steam this time. And I hope they don't disregard my purchase, instead only looking at the Steam sales.

http://store.steampowered.com//app/512600

There's a cooking VN on Steam for some reason.

>>15828214
I know that, but most potential buyers don't.

As they say, come for the porn, stay for everything else.

>>15828272
Lol, no. There's probably more consensual sex than rape by Rance in a given modern Rance game, though sometimes, consent is a term used loosely. Kichikuou Rance might have more rape than consensual though.

Not that I blame people for focusing on the rape. Gleeful rape to rock music is pretty memorable.

>>15828533
Considering that 0 has been announced for months, it seems obvious they know that S;G is fairly popular. The question is if we'll ever see any other Sci;Adv games get localized. Nobody seems to care about robotics;notes, but with the chaos;child anime I'm sure people are really hoping for that one to get picked up.

>>15828712
While not Sci;Adv, I wonder if 5pb has contacted Phar about getting his fanTL to work on bringing the upcoming YU-NO remake over.

Speaking of S;G, I find it pretty funny that people think Ludo/Steiner translated the game when the only thing he translated was basically the song lyrics.

>>15828799
Speaking of S;G, don't talk about S;G because it's an all-ages kusoge.

>>15827089
Lets hope this makes them put SG 0 on Steam as well in the future.

>>15828232
It isn't THAT bad. Flowers was a catastrophe. Funbag Fantasy definitely just needed another pass of editing to clean up typos/incorrect words.

I would go through it again from the bottom up and maybe email the issues to them, but I don't really have time for that between classes and work.

hi

So the jast version is still the best for S;G right?

>>15821789
Of course not.

>>15829099
What's the difference?
Also, why aren't Jast involved with this? Didn't they do the actual localization in the first place?

>>15829142
How the contracts between the parties (5pb, Jast, and the fanTL team who did the translation) worked out most likely resulted in 5pb getting ownership of the translation itself that came out of the localization.

>>15829142
>why aren't Jast involved
No one wants JAST involved if they can help it. In 3 days, S;G has already outsold JAST's entire Steam library, and likely their version of S;G as well. At full price.

>>15829193

Jast releasing Steins;Gate on Steam would have done just as well, as after all it is selling because it is Steins;Gate on Steam, not because of the publisher. 5pb just has no reason to give Jast a cut when they have the ability to release it themselves.

>>15829233
You're underestimating JAST's ability to fuck shit up. Thank god Nitro+ has so little to offer other than Muramasa, which is still never getting translated and released after Dies irae bombs. The best we can hope for is that JAST doesn't pick up any hyped titles.

>>15828922
I don't see why it wouldn't. Either way, porting the PS4 translation to the PC version is simple enough.

>>15829247
JAST is just slow, they do pretty well with the rest. Even censorship they tend to solve with a patch.

It is if they are fast, like Flowers, that you have to worry since then it seems it is some unknown new person speedlating.

>>15829142
>What's the difference?
The 5pb Steam release is backported from console. The changes seem to be that it was upscaled to a higher resolution, but introduces a bad font and UI problems.

>>15829284
They already have a PC release in Japan as well, putting Steins;Gate 0 on Steam seems to be more of a "when" then an "if".

>>15829464
I'm guessing Flower's speed was greatly aided by bypassing their internal bottleneck of sending everything through their one in house person, thus its quality was much more dependent on the quality of the contracted freelance staff, which in the case of Flowers was not the best.

>>15829099
Depends on what you're judging by. The PS3 and Steam versions look better as they use higher quality assets but have some minor issues that aren't in JAST's release.

>>15829464

Bad news for kickstarter backers, now their reviews will be filtered out from Steam reviews by default, because they weren't copies bought on Steam.

http://store.steampowered.com/news/24155/

>>15830785
>We are also changing the default review score that we show at the top of each product page (and in search results) to not include reviews written by users that obtained the product through a Steam key.

>>15830785
That sucks. Kickstarter backers shilling for the product probably helped sales one way or another.

Though, doesn't this mean all reviews from people who bought it third party don't matter? That seems like a misguided attempt to make the Steam Store be more reliable.

>>15830785
I like this part: But in many cases, the abuse is clear and obvious, such as duplicated and/or generated reviews in large batches, or reviews from accounts linked to the developer. In those cases, we've now taken action by banning the false reviews and will be ending business relationships with developers that continue violating our rules.

Please be sekai that's been doing fake reviews on their games.

>>15830803
Each user would have to enable the Steam key reviews manually, but it's more than likely that they won't and will see them as less reliable. And even if the review is visible to the user, it won't effect the Steam review score.

>>15830804
It could be but I kind of doubt it. Sekai shut down WAS because the developers did that type of thing.

>>15830821
No, they shut down WAS because a Japanese journalist pointed out what the devs of WAS were doing.

>>15830825
Ah, that makes more sense.

I have more hope >>15830804 is true, but even if they were doing so, there's no guarantee Steam will figure it out. I personally think that at the very least, most of the Winged Cloud reviews are honest.

Actually what it means is your review counts, but it does not effect the negative/positive meter at all whatsoever. It will also count on those who had a 3rd party key in the past and it will effect the algorithm of what shows up on Steam. They say its like 14% effect on the Steam Store once it goes into effect.

Because there has been constant abuse by Early Access and various other places for positive reviews and also Devolopers trying to use alts to bring their own positive reviews on top and the truthful reviews to the bottom they are working on that as well.

It's not. At all. It's been considered kusoge for nearly a decade.

Kusoge and also stuck in never ever getting an English release anyhow hell, courtesy of your prisoners of choice, JAST.
>Kikokugai
Both versions have translation patches.
>Dra Koi
Translated.
>Phenomeno
Translated.

Urobuchi and Narahara have retired from writing VNs. There is no relevant future for Nitro+, and everything other than Muramasa and Django that's actually worthwhile has been translated.

>>15831263
Are you calling fucking Phantom of Inferno a kusoge?

>>15831275
>>15831263
Phantom of Inferno's release is impossible to play because it's a fucking DVD.

>>15831279
Except I finished it 3 times.

Still, the PC release is much better due to more contents and even the ability to choose guns.

>>15831263
Please also why you call these games kusoge, kusoposter.

>>15831275
Only the translation, which cuts 75% of the dialog, and only partially and incorrectly translates whatever scraps are left of the script. Also, the remake will never ever get localized by JAST. The only way it'll ever make it west is if Nitro+ is impressed by the S;G Steam sales and wants further in on the action by having 5pb outsource and publish a localization of their few SFW titles. Kikokugai would likely be the first choice in that case, but I doubt even that would happen.

>>15831307
I don't really care about the translation, just asking my dude.

>>15831322
Pointless question then, bro. Context, motherfucker. Make use of it.

>>15827790
Fuck yeah, Maggot Baits looks fucking awesome.

>>15831348
What about Sugita fans though?

>>15830785
We do get a neat new piece of information out of this with onsite vs offsite key review ratio, which is especially nice with titles that had kickstarters. (It is worth remembering though, these are review ratios, not purchase ratios, as people who got a key off steam don't necessarily purchase at the same rate, and there may be other sources of keys for many products)

Couple examples
Muv luv 103 reviews on steam, 204 reviews off steam. Presumably lots of reviews from kickstarter players (or kickstarter backers who played the fanTL and reviewed off of that)
Root Double 33 reviews on steam, 28 reviews off steam. About half and half presuming all or most of the keys are from the kickstarter.
Clannad - 578 reviews on steam, 41 reviews off steam. More of less in line with its successful kickstarter, then big sales on Steam later

Though for whatever reason, Grisaia backers haven't done many reviews (perhaps most who got digital opted for the uncut release). 5 reviews from off steam keys for both major Grisaia releases.

You call it shit?! Really man? Phantom Of Inferno was one of the best when it came out and still has a loyal fanbase to this day.

>gekkou no carnevale(highly requested)
>It's not. At all. It's been considered kusoge for nearly a decade.
Actually has been the problem is just how complex the novel can be and the wording is slightly more advanced and nuanced than the rest. I would consider it underacted actually of the rest.

>Sumaga
>Kusoge and also stuck in never ever getting an English release anyhow hell, courtesy of your prisoners of choice, JAST.

I would rather be a prisoner of fucking Jast, MG or even Frontwing than be a prisoner of Sekai. JAST does take longer and its a criticism that is warranted but i would rather them take their time and make a release that actually looks good and works than to rush it. They could hire a few more programmers, translaters and devs to help the process go quicker. But because they take their time doesent make it shit. They did a good job on Steins;Gate and Saya No Uta. That i could honestly care less about how much time it takes.

>Urobuchi and Narahara have retired from writing VNs. There is no relevant future for Nitro+, and everything other than Muramasa and Django that's actually worthwhile has been translated.

Of course i know Gen Urobuchi is not writing Visual Novels he has been a writer for anime for a long time now and successful i may add.I like how you say no relevant future for Nitro+ you do realize that they work with 5PB for Science Adventure series? Or are you going to call that Kusoge and say its shit.

>>15821766
my order number for kyonyuu fantasy was 210015. is it selling well enough to get the rest of the series eventually? I tried shilling it on /v/ but no one wanted to pay $45 for a porn game.

>>15831263
Anon, I want fucking Hello, World.

>>15831656
You should at least provide date, as reported on your bought games list.

>>15831647
>I like how you say no relevant future for Nitro+ you do realize that they work with 5PB for Science Adventure series? Or are you going to call that Kusoge and say its shit.
More like "they worked". Last work that was developed by 5pb. together with Nitro+ is Robotocs;Notes, and even there their input was more limited compared to Steins;Gate/Chaos;Head.
In Chaos;Child Nitro+ was credited for assistance/協力 and in Steins;Gate 0 was nowhere to be found in staff roll.
Also Science Adventure series are irrelevant now that they've been fictionalized by Science Visual Novel series.

>>15831697
I preordered it the day before it came out.

>>15831695
Because you're a clueless EOP that doesn't know it's like 4 times longer than it needs to be.

>>15831263
Tokyo Necro fan tl is on hiatus until December. That is if the guy doesn't drop the project after that.

>>15831615
I wonder how many people for Clannad double dipped and bought digital, because they got tired of waiting for their physical copies to arrive.

>>15831656
MG released Detective Masochist and Orc Castle really close to it, so it's hard to say how many of the recent sales came from them. And Please Bang My Wife is now on preorder, so that will be effecting numbers too.

MG is planning to release Da Capo 3 sometime this winter.

>>15830785
Do anyone read anything but the negative reviews anyway?

>>15832298
Also the funny reviews.

>>15832298
No, but people will look at the reception ration just like they do for Rotten Tomatoes. Somebody who is on the fence about something and sees that it's mostly positive is more likely to buy it than if the game has negative or mixed reception. The actual text reviews aren't important, just the ratio of negative to positive reviews is.

>>15831656
I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Full length nukige do well for MG.

Buy extra copies if you really want to make sure. If it gets a hard copy, you've probably succeeded.

>>15830792
>>15830785
>>We are also changing the default review score that we show at the top of each product page (and in search results) to not include reviews written by users that obtained the product through a Steam key.
Wait? What? Why?
I mean ignore Kickstarter. If I buy a steam key from my local retailer or a Humble Bundle or whatever, and activate the product on steam. They won't recognize any reviews written from it?

How does that make sense? I'd understand if this was about beta/early access versus 1.0/finished products. But if it's literally just about where the key came from then what the fuck?

>>15832501
No, because you bought it cheaper than on Steam. They want revenge.

>>15832501
Also observe that they do accept paid positive reviewers if they buy the game on Steam first and give Valve 30%.

>>15830785
Surprisingly If My Heart Had Wings only has 3 reviews from offsite keys. They had no problems buying a a couple hundred thousand likes on Facebook, but no signs of fraud from them on Steam.

>>15832501
It's kind of a no win situation, as there are cases where an off-site key activation should count, but review inflation through key distribution is very much a real problem. That said though, the Steam solution happens to require people give Steam their cut, as Steam wants to make sure they get their cut.

>>15830785
My favorite change is that we're allowed to see reviews in other languages now.

>>15832501
People can still see your review if they enable Steam key activations in their filter. It's just that the default is not to show them.

>>15831974
>Tfw anon used a another anon to make reinforce his kusogeposer self esteem.

>>15832298
I read the positive reviews on Sakura just so I can know whose opinions I can ignore.

>>15832501
>I mean ignore Kickstarter. If I buy a steam key from my local retailer or a Humble Bundle or whatever, and activate the product on steam. They won't recognize any reviews written from it?

Yes because there have been companies that have abused it in the past. Konami is a great example of this. If you bought MGS 5 day one on PC physical you had a Steam Key copy for free. Which did help boost it's scoring.

>>15832511
Not only that buy everyone should look at this

https://www.destructoid.com/steam-will-end-relationships-with-developers-that-scam-their-reviews-system-386578.phtml

this actually explains everything. Looks like the leash for Devs just became tighter.

>>15832603
>it's

>>15832603
>Which did help boost it's scoring.
How? I mean ignoring paid shills the scoring should still depend on what people thought of the game, no?

That's why I don't really get why the keys matter. If you're game is shit it doesn't matter if it's free. People will still rate it poorly.

>>15832621
If someone gets a vn for a $1 in a bundle, plays for an hour, and gives it a negative review because lol it's not something they'd normally buy themselves, then those types of reviews are better off filtered.

>>15832621
This (at least Steam will argue) is designed to be targeting paid shills, reviews done by alternate accounts of the developers, reviews by the developers "hundred closest friends" etc.

Aside from WAS, which paid reviews by the Japanese developer was at least one of the given reasons that Sekai broke the relationship and canceled the title, it really doesn't seem to be an issue with the major visual novel localization companies. But I would think you could find some of that crap going on with the flood of horrible OELVNs by small teams looking to cash in.

>>15832660
Also, many people will shill something they get for free since it leads them to getting more stuff for free.

Isn't that the excuse that sekai used to drop Hourglass of Lepidoptera? I guess that makes more sense, sekai being banned from steam would have been hilarious though. I wonder if steam themselves were the ones that called sekai out on it when it happened.

>>15832697
Probably not but I'm sure some /jp/sie was waiting to tell Steam about it. :^)

>So the translation is shit?
You tell me.

>>15832739
This is what happens when the beta-tester Ctrl all the good scenes.

>>15832739
It has typos but I don't think the actual translation is bad, it reads more or less how I expected it to.

>>15832747
Grammar error =/= typo

>>15832739
Damn auto correct.

>>15832739
There's a lot of these. The actual translation is fine, but the editor did a middling job.

>>15832159
He should. Tokyo Necro is fucking terrible.

>>15832799
Regardless, I'd expect it to be an announcement from Jast next year, now that they can throw it on Steam (thanks to Nitroplus doing an all ages release)

>>15832811
Not happening. There are better options, such as the Phantom of Inferno remake, which already has a popular anime with the same aesthetic. Kikokugai would also be a better and more logical choice.

Do you think Please Bang My Wife will attract the untapped cuck market to VNs?

>>15832872
Yes. Every anon's dad will be buying it.

>>15832872
Yes, they should advertise the VN on Kotaku.

>>15832872
Will it go to Steam?

>>15832872
The majority of its sales are going to come from the fact that they came up with a remarkable English title.

>>15832872
>willingly share your wife
Into the trash it goes. The appeal of NTR is when alpha male cuced betafaggot behind his back.
