This is really piss-poor editing. I get the intention of the "quirky English girl using English in her speech, so render it in Japanese to have that non-nativeness feeling", but that's a terrible way of putting it and they already did the stereotypical British dialogue thing, so why did they have to add another speech quirk into it?

>>16668790

So you'd just leave the English as English, and not even bother making an attempt to represent her quirk?

>>16668760
>Really bad machine translations
Translation actually very good.

>>16668807
Readers can hear it (which, by the way, is the first argument of anti-honorific shitters)
If you really want to emphasize it, use bold or italics.

>>16668566
I really hope Purple Soft learns from this and avoids SP in the future.

>>16668807
Not him, but it is a VN, you can leave it as it is and let the audio do the job of informing players of the quirk.

If you really want to force it in, I would say the British thing on the specific lines might work. Changing random English phrases into random Japanese phrases is just terrible in how lazy and hackney it is. It changes her quirk from "peppers her speech with English words because she's from England" to "peppers her speech with Japanese words because translation".

>>16668807
>making an attempt to represent her quirk
This would be the correct way to translate. Not a literal translation, but a translation that preserves the meaning of the original text.

Leaving untranslated expressions expecting the readers to somehow understand them is not a good or professional approach.

Although I say this, please note that in regards to honorifics exceptions may be applied. I'm personally speaking of course.

>>16668807
No its just a weaboo and a poor attempt at sounding British.

>>16668854
>Changing random English phrases into random Japanese phrases is just terrible in how lazy and hackney it is. It changes her quirk from "peppers her speech with English words because she's from England" to "peppers her speech with Japanese words because translation".

>>16668863
>poor attempt at sounding British
Of all the things to pick, they had to make her sound like a chav. There are plenty of regional dialect quirks in the UK they could have gone for but they went with one that least fits her.

>>16668988
This really illustrates the poor job in the editing/translating department. They had the right intentions but instead of choosing between "making her sound British" or "fine-replacing all the English words into Japanese for a '1-to-1' feeling", they did both as if it would be better.

It's kinda sad that SP will probably make more from CC than MG from Hapymaher and will convince Purple Software to give them Amatsutsumi.

>>16668988

I finally understand the SP vendetta vnts has.

>>16668448
Kawaii is unfortunately a real English word.

But at least we can roast them for kakkoii

>>16668807
It's not that much better, but inserting random French would work. XSeed did it for Senran Kagura, and it ended up weird because of the blatant differences between the voices and the text, but it's better than this catastrophe.

I've seen people use Spanish because everyone knows a tiny bit, but the problem with that is how it's not associated with foreign white people.

I'd personally just stick with a straight translation though. You know she's speaking Engrish in the game. As long as the characters react to it, it's fine.

Looks like Shadows of Pygmalion is still having some issues.

>The game isn't recognizing text I read. Skip is useless unless I enable skip all text. I remember someone else posting about having gotten all other endings, but couldn't unlock true end. I'm wondering if this is the reason, because the game doesn't recognize you having read anything for it to unlock.

>I've also been getting random crashes. When it does this all of the settings I've adjusted get reset. Then I have to enable skip all text again once I've accessed my most recent save.

Sasuga MG. Zero quality control.

>>16669739

>>16669776
I think the possibility of not being able to get the true ending is the biggest issue there. You can easily skip back to where you were before the crash, but not being able to get the true ending is a problem.

I don't think it makes sense to make the true ending unlockable after seeing 3 other endings in what's almost a kinetic novel that only has one choice. They could just enable the value that lets the true ending be reachable from the first playthrough.

>>16669088
>It's kinda sad that SP will probably make more from CC than MG from Hapymaher
I was under the opinion Hapymaher would obviously be the bigger seller

>>16670127
CC will be on Steam though, which mean it's likely to sell more. It's also on Nutaku too whereas HapyMaher will be stuck on the MG store.

The half-assed editing might be enough to deter people away from this game, but even if that was the case, MG still has to compete with all of the copies already sold on the KS.

>>16670117
I don't think it is a question about professional but if it is cheap and if they praise Sekai as a god.

>>16669918
I really hope, for their sake, they realized that the Japanese replacement thing was a really stupid idea and tried to go with the British dialect and not the other way round.

Not really an excuse though, cause if they wanted to change it, they should have been more thorough with it. They already missed their estimated time frame, they should have just used the extra time to make sure it's 100%. Then again, can't expect much from the money-grubbing SP.

Actually, this is LESS buggy than the original game.
https://vndb.org/t4549
>Before patch 1.01, you couldn’t even initiate Full Screen mode and while this I find to be rather trivial (the resolution would look bad anyways in full screen), can easily break the experience for a user with small screen laptops.
>In fact the only thing that the patch fix was the Full Screen, and there are still buttons that don’t work as expected. ‘Resolution change’ for one, does not work. The ‘Textbox Transparency bar’ works, but you’ll only see the effects when clicking into the next line of words which could be utterly misleading. There’s also a setting that allows you to add… borders? On the sides of the overlaying text box (not the dialogue one), but they were barely noticeable and completely useless in my opinion. I honestly do not understand why there would be so many bugs present in the VN; perhaps they’re testing out a new patch on their engine and have not ironed out the various bugs yet. Who knows?
>And this wasn’t the only problem. For me at least, the game was guaranteed to crash when a certain sprite transition (often used during battle scenes) happens. I had to turn off animation and get pass that transition every time or there would be no way to continue. Luckily this doesn’t happen often enough that it would frustrate enough a person to quit, but the bug definitely wasn’t rare enough that I would call it so.
>Lastly would be the voices of some sub characters. I have no idea why, but the ‘Politician’, ‘Old man’ and ‘Researcher’ voices did not come out even though when I checked the backlog they were clearly there (and can be replayed). This game is unsatisfyingly buggy, and this is after the patch fix too.

>>16670420
I remember when Pygmalion was first announced and some people tried to claim the Japanese version was never a buggy mess. The current issues that some people are seeing with MG's version aren't surprising, but I hope the worst get patched quickly.

Seems during testing they missed a line flashing above the characters head in the demo mode (wait 30 seconds on the title screen) and so didn't translate it. It doesn't appear if you access it from the memories section.

Isn't that good enough then? Why do you want a high quality localization if people don't appreciate it in the same way novel readers appreciate a good localization work.

>>16672078
This logic is retarded.

Just because idiots like Steam users will accept a garbage TL job like CC doesn't mean it's okay. One has to have standards for oneself that lie above the standards of the masses (which will always necessarily be lower).

If we just allow shit like this to go through because idiots will buy it then we'll have a bunch of machine TL's being sold around again.

>>16672473
>There were only two options they had until we arrive. Either they mustervate or they become lilly.

>>16672473
Basically a machine TL.
Never forget mustervate

>>16671510
inb4 they hired this guy for translation instead of Aroduc.

>>16672473
It's above machine TL levels but below what would be considering a commercial product.
It is like a very amateurish project by one single guy whom native language isn't actually English.

You can tell it was written and not just machine TL'd because most of the typos are common errors like "an, a" and skipping spaces or lines and just words mistypes and not whole sentences that don't make sense at all.


This was back in like 2008 when projects used to take years to be finished even by competent groups.

>>16672078

>>16669522
>You know she's speaking Engrish in the game. As long as the characters react to it, it's fine.

thus the question, HOW EXACTLY?

she's a weeaboo and admittedly a cringeworthy character. you have to translate it in a cringey way just like how SP translated it with utmost cringe. good job at being a cringe SP.

>>16668767
Could just use italics or bold on the words. The argument that people always use against honorifics is that you can hear what is being spoken so I don't see why it can't apply here as well.

>"Look hooker, I'm trying to be nice here."

This has been 100% translated but in the middle of QC for some months now, hasn't it? Is it ever going to be released? I don't actually even remember why I looked forwards to it so much, but I did and I guess I still want to see how the translation turned out.

>>16674427
The translation quality was confirmed to be pretty shitty with lots of line being completely wrong.

>>16674427
Because the anime aired.

>>16674427
Because it's one of the best charages out there.

I'm happy it seems never ever for you EOPs. Also I have to genuinely question what fags that can translate for shit yet try anyway are thinking.

>>16674452

>>16674253
>Insert whatever they want in her lines

As long as they are close to her personality and the translation is not too far off NISA is doing really well on it.

But one thing I did notice is Yosuke and a few other well known voice actors are in it this time. Which I do not know how to feel about that.

>>16673691
Pretty much its just a cluster fuck and something I would suspect with ESL English translation. On Steam it is funny to see the huge amount of downvotes on users who are obviously schilling the visual novel.

>>16673691
>you have to translate it in a cringey way just like how SP translated it with utmost cringe
Since when romanizing japanese words is "translating"?
How the fuck would someone who doesn't know the meaning of the romanized word understand that they should cringe at the character speech?

Please refer back to >>16668855

Reading through Pygmalion's forum, it seems its main issue (and possibly the root cause of its other issues) is that it does not run well with certain anti-virus programs.

As http://steamcommunity.com/app/549850/discussions/0/133258092245506857/#c133258593387419608 shows, even marking the executable as an allowed program isn't enough.

Sasuga MG. Bankruptcy when? SP is objectively better.

Sekai has its own fair share of questionable licensing choices. They went after meme titles, like the creature dating sims. I'm at least looking forward to Ley-Line Trilogy.

In case you´re not, well exclude yourself from the seemingly delighted majority and try accepting the fact that accuracy/non over the top wording is no longer what matters most, but ends justifying any means instead for making titles sell no matter what.

>>16675123
Poor guy having to deal with SJW bullshit for 3 goddamn hours. Just let the guy draw his cute girls doing cute things in tanks.

It is actually a trap. You can't claim girls are sexualized unless you think they look sexy. And if they look sexy to you, you are a pedophile.

Not sure why Sekai is bringing over 4 guests from Japan for AOD of all conventions, but they are. Perhaps they are going all out on guests this year and will have a ton at bigger conventions? They also did bring over karory to AWA last year.

Main focus for information though is they have their panel on Sunday the 18th at 2pm.

>>16675545
Didn't Kio Nachi attend a con last year too?

>>16675555
Karakara2 is in the works. Publicity needed. Publicity needed & aside from that its good for boosting egos.

>>16675545
>>16675555

Kio Nachi and P19 at least are going to be there for KaraKara 2, as its been confirmed by Sekai's clame that they will have info at AOD on KaraKara 2, and both worked on the first.

>>16675595
>Karakara2 is in the works
Literally why
The first one was so unremarkable I already forgot about it

>>16675665
It's not their fault people threw money at them for garbage.

>>16675691
Didn't it sell badly, or something? I mean, hell, it's the game that made Dovac throw such a hard fit that they took away his Twitter

>>16675698
It sold "badly" in the sense it wasn't a Nekopara success it was designed to be. It still sold a fair number of copies especially for the post-Steam craze market.

Not to mention whatever it managed to do in Japan, being developed by a calme, which is a brand Sekai created.

>>16675698
It didn't sell badly, but it likely still performed at a loss all things considered

>>16675665
Honestly if they move away from the Nekopara clone bullshit it has the chance to be good. The setting is basically Mad Max. Surely they'll try something more creative this time around r-right?

Damn CC. I haven't felt such bitterness and disappointment about the lack of (o)nii-sama in a game since Boob Wars 2.
Fuck you, SP. Fuck you, MG. You are both killing my boner.

>>16675810
I remember Kotone calling the protag onii-sama quite a bit in Boob Wars 2. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

>>16675852
I checked her first scene in the gallery to make sure I wasn't bullshitting and "brother" is used there.

>>16675863
Maybe an inconsistency in editing? I loaded up a random save and found an "onii-sama" fairly quickly.

>>16675863
Oh, but all the other scenes have onii-chan and onii-sama. I guess people remember the wrongs more than the rights.
Still, fuck you for inconsistency.

Sekai deleted my negative review on steam. Fucking ridiculous that developers can so easily censor.

>>16675364
NTY is doing more or less as well as any other large nukige for Mangagamer, and Ozmafia sold well enough to get a hard copy. Fujoshi have definitely become a significant part of MG's audience, so the first officially localized 18+ otome game selling well would hardly be a surprise.

It helps that Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome seems to have some appeal outside of the fujoshi demographic.

I can't help but wonder whether or not it's a good idea for MG to launch an otome/yaoi branch instead of simply launching everything under Mangagamer. It's probably more trouble than it's worth though.

>>16675364
It's a bit scary to see how big the female influence is getting in the western VN industry. I know fujos have a lot of money but still, i don't want MG to become a yaoi/otome company.

>>16676702
What a stupid post

>>16676712
Found the fujo.

>>16676702
I sort of understand how you feel, but I wouldn't worry about it yet. 1 fujoshit game per year is their current rate and they are ultimately still overshadowed by other VNs. Well, unless you count yuri VNs, but they don't usually pander to fujoshi in particular.

I'd worry if it's 4 major fujoshit games a year. At that point, they are disproportionately catering to fujoshi (assuming the 30% women statistic the survey got is accurate to the current potential buyer base of Mangagamer).

>>16676783
Yuri/shoujo-ai pander to males so it's not the same. I know it's not the case and one game a year is ok it's not like it'll affect the whole company but i feel like among the visual novel readers the women are growing, and quickly. I have no doubt that the otome will sale way better than something like Pygmalion, Sorcery Jokers or Hapymaher but that's why MG will surely notice this demand and focus more on otome/yaoi game from now on.

>>16676804
Do you forget that women were a visible market for shit like Euphoria too?

>>16676846
And Rance, weirdly enough.

I know 2 girls who aren't even really into visual novels, and both of them own and have played the shit out of Rance 6.

>>16676642
Were you the one who posted 5 paragraphs on how you like to penetrate your own ass, which everybody except your m8s downvoted?

>>16676804

Honestly, like, more otome/BL doesn't mean less of other things. It's not like staff or resources that could be devoted Boob Wars 15 are being diverted BL instead, it's not a zero-sum game. Games that sell well are good for the whole company. It makes it possible to take risks on weird niche stuff and things that are less of a sure hit. There are people with all sorts of different tastes advocating for all kinds of different games within the company. The more diverse the userbase is, the more robust it is too. And you never know, maybe those fujoshi who were drawn in by something like NTY might want to look at ClockUp's other work or might take an interest in the Liarsoft stuff or whatever. New audiences buying stuff just means there are more people who might buy other things.

Also, I still think you guys will like Bocchimusume.

>>16676804
As mentioned above, Bocchi-Musume has a lot of draw potential outside of the female demographic too, it wouldn't be that bad if they focus on getting more titles that can do dual-appeal.

18+ otomege is a curious creature.

>>16676852
Rance is like an exaggerated shoujo male love interest. The old Rance OVA opening even went full shoujo anime. I'm actually starting to wonder if Sill is the way she is in order to be a self-insert for female players.

That aside, they could have simply have been into first person dungeon crawlers. Or lesbian.

>>16676880
The female protagonist is fuckable enough that I'm tempted at least.

>>16676870
When you put it that way i can't blame MG for going after the otome/BL market but can i really trust you on :
>Honestly, like, more otome/BL doesn't mean less of other things.
I mean, Haro be honest, if you have the choice between a storyge/moege which pander to males and a BL/otome title, you will translate the latter.

I don't know for Bocchimusume, maybe i'll like it? My sister wanted me to read Ozmafia and it was impossible. The males characters were way too gay and obnoxious. It's just that i'm not the target audience.

>>16676923

I mean if it was something that interested me, I'd work on it, but I'm not going to waste my time working on something I don't like. That goes for most people in this industry after you've paid your dues. It's not like there's any real shortage of people to throw on nukige, and again MG's staff has diverse interests. It's honestly harder to find people interested in working on otome and BL than the other stuff MG does.

Ozmafia's honestly pretty mediocre. Bocchi's really funny though.

>>16676923
Haro's not the only translator though?

I doubt others will be forced to work on fujoshit considering there are very few of those being released yearly and a tiny fraction of those will get localized.

There's no shortage of male-targeted vns and their other translators will happily work on those I think.

>>16675118
Let them hit their "stretch goals" once everyone realizes Sekai is shit and slow, and awful at translation then there will be less money going to them.

>>16677215
Sekai has been shit and slow for years now and people still give them money

>>16675123
By the end of the day stupidity exists on both sides of the west. Its not a matter of SJW's but also a matter of older people and not understanding the medium before criticizing it.

If you notice the Baby Boom and conservatives is often the generation that hates it because it is not "family friendly"and impure. And then you have extreme left which thinks it sexualizes females all day long. But if anyone actually took the time to watch the anime or play the video games like this younger generation has(Gen X, Millennials) they might understand its not even like that and at times it can be silly and funny and interesting. I just see it as Japanese people expressing their creativity over what they think is fun and interesting and not caring about boxing themselves in. Remember censorship exists on either side right or left of these are just censorship of freedom no matter what it is.

>>16677236
I think its because they feel like Sekai is the only one willing to do it. I hope Frontwing and Mikandi can at least offset the abuse Sekai is doing.

Also i wonder though when will there be any announcements of the secret games for MG?

>>16668051

>Mandatory Happiness coming to Steam soon by Gen Urobuchi.

>>16677388
I'd like to believe people give them money since they ransom it with "Give us money or we do all-ages only". It at least shows you can buy them into the right direction.

Now if they just ran kickstarters promising "If you pay us, we will keep honorifics and not memefy the game", maybe they'd get even more money.

>>16677544

Even SP is fine at this point.

The initial burst for Grisaia has gotten to a bit over half of its $80k goal in about 10 hours. It should be able to reach $80k, but it is not on path to be a runaway success.

>>16677881
That normally means he pops in the office once a month and answers email about it. Just look at all the anime "supervised" by him and you will see it isn't a sign that it will be like a work that fully involves him.

Now the question is, is this translation above or below Moenovel quality?

>>16679059
Moenovel was a machine TL, so CC is still better

>>16677627
Most people 18+ have learned honorifics. Your only excuse to remove them is if you are 12.

Maitetsu is 100% translated according to the Sekai Project website. Get hype.

>>16679067
One could argue, though, that at least machine TL doesn't leave random Japanese words strewn all over the sentences.

>>16679169
>Get hype.

>>16679169

>a game that lives or dies on loli sex translated by Sekai

>>16679059
Moenovel was trying to target 12 year old french girls with their "translation" so you got shit like "mune" being translated as "eyes". Also they took a R-18 game with no all ages version to make it all ages and it ended up a garbled mess.

>>16679172
The thing is I remember some parts of the machine TL literally meant the opposite of what the character was saying.

>>16677627
>This is an +18 website.
Indeed, so get the fuck out if you can't handle honorifics.

>>16679739

>>16676663
>I can't help but wonder whether or not it's a good idea for MG to launch an otome/yaoi branch instead of simply launching everything under Mangagamer. It's probably more trouble than it's worth though.

Having titles that target multiple demographics helps keep the company from being branded one way or another by the general public. Back when the great internet culture wars first started to heat up back in late 2014 there were people trying to label them as a "sexist" company(for the crime of producing pornography that targets men) and I'm pretty sure that the only thing that kept that from sticking was NTY's launch. Avoiding that kind of reputation is probably worth it.

Not to mention they've only got three or so people willing to do otome/BL titles so there's probably not enough to even warrant splitting off a new brand yet.

>>16679169
>get hype for an all-ages release when the point of the fucking thing is loli sex

>>16679273
It's actually a very common British and Australian phrase. If you have problems with the line, it's because you've had limited exposure to the English language.

In Red Dwarf, they changed it to "taking the smeg" :)

>>16680157
Continuing on from this, seeing as the character is British she'll obviously be using modern British phrases.

It's cockney rhyming slang for "taking the piss". Americans *BAKA*

Their bimonthly bullshit affecting their browser titles have not, at least through now, affected their downloadable store guidelines as there has been a noticeable relaxation of those. The question of them being involved in any Maitetsu "solution" is still pretty much in the same place, has the relaxation of standards in their downloadable store that allowed Koihime and Romanesque relaxed far enough to allow Maitetsu.

Holy fuck this guy is based.

Using backers to gain a rough idea of initial popularity at the launch of the Kickstarter (instead of dollar amount which is much harder to compare), Grisaia Phantom Trigger got roughly 465 backers in its first 24 hours. To compare to some other recent Kickstarters, LeyLine had roughly 833 backers in its first 24 hours, while Chrono Clock was at roughly 395. Additionally, the original Grisaia Kickstater got roughly 1365 in a bit over 24 hours (with obviously a much higher average pledge seeing the difference in campaigns).


Separately, LeyLine managed to reach its $105k stretch goal earlier today, and has tapped on another thousand or so since. It is also about at 1160 backers with 11 days (and associated ending boost) to go. It's obviously long pass Chrono Clock's dollar total, and should be passing Chrono Clock's 1207 backer total in the not too distant future.

We addressed this in the comments for the Kickstarter preview; unfortunately it seems that those comments get wiped completely when you launch.
The manga itself has been delayed for unrelated reasons, and rather than make people wait for the manga to finish before we ship their rewards, we decided to ship the manga separately for free when it's finished; that's why the stretch goal was adjusted.

I wonder if Pygmalion sold enough copies to get its drama CD translated, like Kindred Spirits did.

Looking forward to a future where Sekai is known to make worse translations than machine TLs. If you can't kill a company by insulting your customers, you can always try and make it unreadable to them.

Does Misaki even have a speech quirk? It seem like they just tackled buster on to random lines. Were they using it as some replacement to covey her tsun? Or to make her sound more like an "ojou-sama"? At least Misaki was readable unlike DD where you have to rely on her voice lines.

Don't reply to the sellout

>>16684327
prob not a great idea to engage like that. reflects poorly on the company

>>16684422
Chuee isn't the editor for the game anyway. He's just an editor in general.

>>16684432
does work on favourite´s titles, the one he sold out + all that will follow coming to said company

>>16684422
I don't think SP could be seen any worse than they already are but hey, some people like to live dangerously

>>16684529
Sekai Project are literally Hitler at this point.

>>16684225
Same, the artist is pretty good in my opinion

Sekai keeps making me want to just do rewrites and mass produce "translations" just because it feels like we are already at that point.

Why do good translations when all that is required is that it is filled with localization?

>>16684749
Proper translations are localizations too. The act of localization is just making something accessible. Technically, it doesn't even require a localization to be a localization, just accessible. Of course in practice, a localization without a translation wouldn't be a very accessible to the general market. Making it a relatively poor localization.

>>16684749
Those would still be hard. If you ignore the Japanese entirely, you've got to fabricate, what, 30,000 lines of dialogue? That's as hard as writing a new book entirely (which is hard). Even machine TL, the worst TLs of the worst, maintain overall flow of the story and scenes, inaccurate they may be to the details and... everything.

>>16684145
I don't know who it is but the translator must be pretty pissed off that a cunt like him ruined his translation. A bad editor is even worse than a bad tl.

>>16684783
The translation team should have looked over the final copy. I don't understand a world where the translation team doesn't see the final copy shipped out. Is this common?

>>16684813
>final copy
Yeah... about that.

It's still not done. It's not fully edited, they shipped out an incomplete copy. Stuff like the context menu is still completely untranslated, too.

>>16684826
Ah. Well if it was rushed out the door than these are the sorts of things that can happen, I guess

>>16684832
It was already late so delaying another month probably wouldn't have really mattered as much if they actually explained that it needed more work to polish it, and if anything it would have been better than releasing something unfinished. After all nearly every other Sekai VN has had some kind of delay so we are kinda use to it by now.

>>16684813
At that point, it would be a large undertaking to review all the dialog if they decided to reverse course. Games of this length are pretty hard to just fix up things like how one or more characters speak all their lines.

>so we are kinda use to it by now.
I'm not

>>16685217
They are not quite JAST but since the time they Kickstarted WEE back in 2014 there has been delays for an awful lot of their shit.

>>16684422
Most of the people that "work" in the "scene" are just former NEET internet losers who haven't held down a real job beyond menial retail level makework employment. I can't really blame SP because of this.

There is a reason these people don't understand professional norms. Most specifically it is those who don't actually know Japanese or have technical skills related to game engines.

Take, for instance, an unnamed transsexual independent contractor working as an editor who ruined SPs relationship with FW because they though they could handle a product release delay like any old internet drama and insult the other party.

>>16685475
I've been a NEET for years and never held a job but I'm still not an autistic retard who thinks it's right to spew abuse at people when you're a representative of a company.
Being a NEET makes you fap to 2D, not completely delete your common sense. Sekai just employs spastic fuckwits.

>>16685989
how does one live as a neet for years

>>16684225
The localization is poor and Sekai Project are utter crap. But Chrono Clock is pretty shit.

Sekai might not take /quite/ as long as Jast, but they make up for it by taking forever to translate AND unless they're taking it from someone else, those translation are garbage. It's like a company that produces nothing but Duke Nukem Forevers.

>>16686071
With parents who gave up on you and support your manchild ass.

Sometimes I miss Dovac. He was entertaining.

>>16686150
Chrono Clock is the best moege released since OsaDai though. And its very good moege. Not a crap like PE.

>>16686820
You can't be serious. I liked the characters but the routes were absolute horseshit.

>>16686820
CC is average. Characters are likeble, pretty CGs. And interestingly enough a proper protag, whos not emotionally blind retard and actually has personality wich is rare for moege. At the same time the story is short bland and boring, D.D route is just ''golden'' in that regard only seen this done 114 times before. Other routes is underwelming as well.
PE has all of the good things i mentioned about CC whithout the downside. And what makes it special is that they actualy bothered to do ( a proper ) romance here. There is emotional build up and linear progression between "yes i like you too" and "let's fuck". While 99% of the time those things are lumped together.

>>16686820
Chrono Clock is pretty sweet, but you can't be serious.

SP doesn't give a fuck about their PR, much less on 4chan. I imagine anyone shilling for SP here is trying to make a joke rather than them trying to sway people on 4chan to their side.

DC's Nakige, duder.

Oh, really? Haven't played it yet. I know that DC1's somewhere in between mediocre moege and mediocre nakige, and DC2's nakige.

I thought the entire series was nakige based.

>>16684749
I'd suggest waiting a few years for machine TLs to get a bit better before unleashing mass production.

>>16686731
Tell me about it this visual novel season is so slow right now. Any news besides Shitkai would be great right now.

Frontwing also made an update today and there is a preview of things to come.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frontwing/a-grand-entrance-for-new-vn-series-grisaia-phantom/posts/1825978

>>16688538
I'm still surprised it managed to get above 50k. With it being all-ages/episodic I thought it would flop.

>>16688590
It is the power of decent add-ons/rewards. I'd be surprised if even half of the people pledging want the game.

>>16688590
Grisaia is a pretty popular series relatively speaking so it's not too surprising.

A quick look at how Chrono Clock is doing to date. It peaked over the weekend at 42 concurrent users, and has maintained the top spot on Nutaku since release, never falling behind any of the several new releases during the period. One challenge though is judging how much it has sold beyond Kickstarter, as Nutaku doesn't give out any information that would help determine what exact sales look like, and Steam is complicated between the beta period and backers redeeming keys. It's also much too early to get much information out of Steamspy as far as that goes, as enough Kickstarter backers redeemed Steam keys that Steamspy was estimating 600-1400 in daily variation before the release, and has had significant day to day variation since the release.

>>16687496
kek

>>16684145
Oh, it's that faggot Chuee. I remember him arguing that SP was right to fuck over their customers. He must still be licking SP's asshole. This is what happens when you sell-out, folks.

>>16688721
Usually any visual novel that has a anime will give it that popularity needed for a niche fanbase.

>>16688766
3,000 overall. But I think a lot will be severely disappointed by the translation and skip to cg scenes.

>>16684145
>Jlpt level 6
>There is only JLPT 1-5

Then again he would not know how to translate anything seeing how he is shit. Can anyone tell me how much he was off by the Japanese VA scenes alone? I am sure it was a lot.

>>16689044
That was a joke, because 5 is the bottom level, 6 is suckier than that.

>>16689048
there wasn't even a level 5 until very recently. like, it made no sense to certify such a low level of competence and still doesn't

>>16689138
I don't really understand what you're missing. They're just making a joke. They suck so bad they're below the lowest level. N6 is so bad it doesn't exist.

>>16687163
Da Capo? Lol, boring as fuck

>>16689171
The irony is of course that even N6 people can tell there is no guvner and buster in the original. In fact N6 Japanese readers are really good at telling when they read bullshit English.

>>16689323
Mainly because N6 level readers are terribly illiterate in Japanese and anything other than a word to word transliteration is "terrible" to them

>>16689320
>herp derp DC2 is the same thing as DC right?

>>16689327
No you are thinking of idiots. Those are everywhere, including among the translators.

Obviously you want to translate things into good words. The problem comes when people want to pick things like "funbags" and all their customers go "What does that mean? Oh you left the language and went for slang? Sorry, slang isn't part of global education"

It shouldn't be a prerequisite to have been born in the slums of LA to read visual novel translations. It means people with N1 English knowledge are screwed.

>>16689550
The only routes that I like from DC2 was Otome and Anzu, the rest was the same as the main route; pretty bad.
I think that DC1 was good for his time but hasn't aged well.

>>16689652
So long as they don't go overboard and it fits the character slang is fine. An English translation should not cater to ESLs. If they can't understand slang they should watch more movies and study up.

>>16689845
I'm a native English speaker and ChronoClock's slang is so over the top that even I have trouble understanding it.

>>16689858
Yep. Classic example of going overboard. But a few bits of Brit slang here and there would've been fine.

>>16689652
>It shouldn't be a prerequisite to have been born in the slums of LA to read visual novel translations.

isn't this an issue with western media in general being dominated by hollywood?

>>16690254
massive hit for retelling steins;gate...great job

>>16690445
Plot isn't important - there are no new ideas under the sun. It's how the story is told, and Life is Strange was a wonderfully told story and a deserved hit

>>16690465
It is still possible to be more original than simply copypasting a well known existing story. Being """artistic""" about telling a cliched narrative is meaningless.

>>16690504
Originality counts for little in fiction. Cliches are cliches for a reason, and most 'original' ideas suck balls.
