/vn/ - Cute Imouto edition

first for Koiken Otome is garbage and MTL

If Subahibi doesn't come out today I'm ending it

this place is only good for shitposting about celebrities from the eroge scene desu

I like lolis.

Koiken Otome might be the most intense Battle-Action Visual Novel I've read

Moege with some chuuni elements thrown in. It's average but you'll enjoy it if you like moege.

There's nothing that needs to be said about moege.

I dunno. I read it last year and the writing felt pretty standard fare for a moege. I don't really get the fuss about it being terrible or whatever.

I mean, at least the setting tried to be somewhat different than the norm for moege.

>I'll have to think about the rest of the VN like that if I want to make it through to the end.
Just think of it like a crappy B movie. This is what I do with most moege/nukige. Though the latter usually steps into the "so-bad-its-good" territory more often.

>>148381578
Oh boy. I wonder what he could be upset about, if they were just announcing something.

Guys can you find the mobile on the carpet?

>>148383183
Dovac has said he got the go-ahead to announce it hours before AX. It's likely after the announcement he tried to talk to aroduc about his translation, or aroduc approached him so he could try to get paid, and in discussing the release and other elements of the localization they just got really pissed off at eachother. Doddler tweeted some stuff about it, too.
In other words, more drama.

>>148383738
But moogy/herkz implied they had known for a long time that it was happening, but doddler had been out of the loop.

>>148383892
It's most likely Dovac agreed to something without informing Aroduc

>>148383448
Yeah no problem. Now that I'm thinking about it, almost none of the other girls interest me. The girls in this are just so damn plain. When you finish the route, can you spoil it.

>>148384887

I sometimes wonder how semen tastes like but I lost any motivation to taste it after the big O. And I'm not gay

>>148388837
Depends on your diet, but it's pretty plain. Salty. Tastes a bit like fish.

I'm not gay either, but why waste the protein?

>>148388905
Yeah true. Giving that protein to my girlfriend sounds like a better idea though. I just need to find a gf first. Might take a while

IT'S OUT.

>>148389170
Just keep it in a bottle till you get a gf.

>>148389457
Omgod brainfart. I meant machine translated... and that will be picked up by SP I'm sure

>Sekai still hasn't put out Root Double's OST to backers

I'm really confused

>>148389457
AstralAir won't be 'finished' until Q1 2017, and even then after they sell it off to Sekai it will probably be another 6 months after that.

The next fan TL that is likely to be done is probably Clover Days (unironically pretty good moege, Tsubame an absolute best).

>>148389676
The Clover Days translator works for Sekai project lel

>>148388774
Go sign into backerkit.

>>148389918
Alcot is already partnered with another company, I'm pretty sure. So it should be ok.

The translator is pretty stubborn about it being strictly a fan effort, too. So I dunno.

>>148389918
Alcot is with JAST. And they aren't really doing anything with the license.

>>148390107
>>148390193
And Mangagamer is partnered with IG. Didn't stop IG from giving Flowers to JAST.

>>148390627
And I'm sure they're regretting it heavily considering how absolutely terrible that translation was in the demo. Supposedly they have fixed it up by now, though.

>>148390107
>Alcot is already partnered with another company
yeah JAST, sadly they only released my GF is the president which I loved, and no other title from them.

>>148390627
Man that was such a hilarious tidbit of drama. The best part is one of the translators works for both MG and JAST and she absolutely adores Flowers and instead of her doing it we got that meme demo.

>>148390107
The translator is pretty stubborn about it being strictly a fan effort, too.
How does that work? What if Alcot and Jast or SP say "either you give us TL or we give you C&D ku ku ku"

>>148390949
MG just can't catch a break. I hope they have some good licenses coming up, or SP is going to eat them for breakfast, assuming they actually release anything.

>>148390969
I don't think SP would do that considering how awful their PR is and how badly everyone thinks of them. Plus, doing that to one of your own employees would be shitty. JAST is too lazy to do anything.

>>148391164
EUSTIA ANNOUNCEMENT AT OTAKON

>>148391164
Just need another Alicesoft title which Maria strongly hinted was coming at otakon.

>>148390019
Fuck me, I just found out that I apparently completely forgot to ever even make a backerkit account, despite all the e-mails telling me to. My own stupidity is so astounding I'm not even sure how to respond.

>>148390949
I loved her thrashing of the translation. Quite entertaining.
http://luminance.org/flowers/

>>148390969
Of course. I suppose it's better to be cynical in this case, me pointing out that tidbit was more-or-less to illustrate the intent behind the fan translation, which can go a long way.

But yes. Expect nothing I suppose. It's better that way in the long-run because at least you won't be disappointed.

>>148391164
Fata is better than anything that SP has put out, in my opinion. And unlike SP, MG at least seems to be doing well for itself.

If the rumors about the August license are true (I'm pretty skeptical) they will have a pretty huge partner on their shoulders. There are some pretty good August titles.

>>148391548
Did you fill out the survey where you entered in your physical address? I'm not sure when your credit card gets charged though.

>>148391593
Fata seems to have sold really poorly on Steam though. I can understand why, since it doesn't look very appealing.

Meanwhile SP will cash in on the Nekopara audience with Ponkotsu, and of course Baldr Sky

>>148391731
>Did you fill out the survey where you entered in your physical address?

Yup. I'll probably still get the physical copy in a couple months, and it's not like I haven't played the games already, so I'm not too upset, but man, the one time I actually pay for a game I fuck it up.

>>148391593
Fata being a legit 10/10 doesn't help that people buy nekopara because it's a meme
>>148391731
Ponkotsu is exclusively Denpa last time I checked, I doubt the Nekopara audience even knows Denpa exists

>>148391731
Sales =/= Quality
And the Nekopara audience is not the same as the Baldr audience. The former isn't even aware of it most likely.

>>148391954
You don't need to make an account. Look up the email with the survey code and click it again, and you should be able to get your Steam key there.

>>148391164
They teased at least one big title for Otakon.

The popular guesses for Otakon are:
1) Sona-Nyl, MG hinted in purple in their teaser earlier this year, though considering that orange ended up being Naked Butlers, I'm beginning to doubt this one.
2) Supipara Chapter 2, if Chapter 1 does good enough to reach the goal for Chapter 2. It's just under 40k away from the goal now.
3) A Kiss for the Petals: Maidens of Michael, the first game they did in the series sold good and this the 3rd most requested vn in MG's poll this year.
4) Rance, this was the top requested title in MG's poll this year and Haruka seems to have sold well.
5) Sorcery Jokers, MG teased an HD vn that was "no joke".
6) Good Haro said that there would be something for either the NTR or loli crowds, but she didn't say which.

>>148391954
If you still want a digital legit copy on Steam you could probably get one by emailing [email protected] and explaining the situation.

>>148392093
>>148392319
I just got the e-mail with my key anyways.

Boy, oh boy, am I a stupid fuck.

>>148391963
Ponkotsu devs announced the Steam release.

>>148391731
Fata moved 1.5k iirc. Honestly that isn't too bad considering it has no moe factor, no voice acting, and is a plotge. It's a niche within a niche.

>>148392646
Please stop using Steamspy numbers when it's already been established that they're basically useless for games that sold under 30k copies. Evangile and Dengeki Stryker have been know to fluctuate up and down in the thousands.

>>148391731
I've said this before but Baldr's success isn't guaranteed. It's highly dependent on the price of the title and the marketing surrounding it. The Nekopara audience is mostly comprised of faux-weebs and memers who buy it simply because of brand recognition. That--in addition to the extremely low price and the numerous steam-sales it has been in--is why it sells so well.

The intended audience for Baldr is closer to ""hardcore"" visual novel fans, it mostly has a meme status within the more deeper circles of visual novel fans, due to endless years of cock-teasing and the failed english translation. In spite of this most of the discussion surrounding it on here, reddit, and even fuwa has been negative primarily due to the lack of confirmation for an 18+ and the general drama surrounding it. Hell, some Sekai employees are even already on full damage-control on Twitter. Sekai's failures in regards to PR has gathered a lot of scorn over the past few years to the point where it can no longer be ignored, especially when they're adamant on continuing to license titles that are aimed at the 'core' visual novel fanbase rather than the memebase which is comprised of Nekopara and Sakura players.

If Baldr is too expensive I believe there's a high possibility for failure if the PR/Marketing surrounding it aren't handled well. Many people seem to estimate that it will probably be priced at $50+ which is quite a lot.

>>148392518
uhhh pretty sure that one is not coming to steam unless they changed something.

>>148392868
I didn't mean that the Nekopara audience would buy Baldr Sky, just Ponkotsu.

I think Baldr will do fine, even if they price both parts at $40 each. Any game that's been hyped up in the English community for so long will sell.

The average audience doesn't care about the SP controversy.

>>148392868
You're overlooking that baldr isn't just a good VN, it's a real fucking good GAME too.

>>148393049
Baldr has a surprisingly low amount of retweets on Twitter. That Otome game and Maggot Baits weren't too far behind in popularity. Actually last I checked the Otome game was more popular than Baldr.

>>148392934
It will be the next Nekopara. There's a page for the game on Sekai's website too, it's not just denpa anymore.

https://sekaiproject.com/products/boku-to-koisuru-ponkotsu-akuma/

>>148392646
>499 ±562
It's amazing when the numbers indicate that it may have sold less than zero copies.

>>148392518
There's no way they can possibly make an all-ages version of that. There's so much fucking lewd shit. It's basically a 15 hour nukige. There's even an H scene in the common route for christ's sake.

An all-ages version of that would be like the localization of Konosora x 10. They'd have to cut so much scenes.

>>148393049
>Any game that's been hyped up in the English community for so long will sell.
G-Senjou sure didn't.

>The average audience doesn't care about the SP controversy.
I dunno. I might agree with you if I saw the drama mostly contained on here and on /jp/, but I've seen it just about everywhere at this point. The English market is a pretty small one when it comes to the more core titles, mind you.

>>148393057
I know. I've played it. Which is why I'm saying that if they market it hard enough, it might be possible for it to creep into the video game audience. That being said we can't really tell how that will turn out. I suppose time will tell.

ever17's ost is chill af
i keep listening to it every now and then after all these years

>>148393772
Nekopara already cuts H-scenes. It's not hard for them to sell a low-priced version that basically functions as a demo for the full game.

>>148393173
I'd say that the Otome fanbase are probably more active with stuff like that
>>148393057
I wonder if it's possible for some gaming site to review Baldr, would be hilarious if that happened
>>148393470
they have a page for everything, and it doesn't say where they are releasing it on, unlike the SakuSaku page which lists both Steam and Denpa or Baldr which says Steam only and they're all announced at AX

>...as I stroke her drills

Who is the genius that translated this in KO?

>>148393853
Yes, but Nekopara doesn't really have that many H scenes nor does it have nearly as much of a focus on lewd stuff.

>>148393884
>I wonder if it's possible for some gaming site to review Baldr
Nope, its impossible, no gaming sites can come even close to baldr

>>148393772
G-Senjou was already translated

>>148393057
I doubt most Steam casuals would pick up a game in 800x600 resolution.

>>148393772
G-senjou already had a fanTL, baldr doesn't

>>148394075
>>148394251
And? So was Grisaia. It still sold more than well enough. G-Senjou is a big meme in the English and Japanese community. Thousands of votes on vndb.

The reason G-Senjou sold like shit was because of the numerous PR failures and the high price for the full-game.

Having activated Muv-Luv on steam, I figure now would be as good time as any to reread the series, but it's probably an all-ages version isn't it?

That, and also even if I go offline people will be able to see my playtime.

One word:
Undertale.
One word:
Recettear.
And so on.

Price matters. No one wants to pay 40 dollars or more for a censored title. This is why the recent Grisaia fandisc was a total flop.

>>148394414
The H-scenes are shit anyway, it's one per route at the very end.

>>148393884
>I wonder if it's possible for some gaming site to review Baldr, would be hilarious if that happened
Well, lewdgamer is technically a gaming site, and it wouldn't surprise me if websites like destructoid did a review of it. Though, the last big Game/VN release was Seinarukana and that doesn't seem to have reviews anywhere.

>>148394337
The kickstarter for Grisaia also was for the whole series and a spin off.

>>148394028
I'm only just starting the tournament, but does she ever stop being a super bitch?

>>148392123
probably Rance 01 which is a meh game.

>>148394502
Yes I'm aware, I did say that I would be re-reading

>>148394552
Well, Baldr will be released on Steam all-ages so I'm sure some gaming sites will pick it up, especially since it's something so highly regarded. Seinarukana seems to have a Steam version but it's not released until September.

I like lewd stuff, but I dont like visiting Lewdgamer. It's way too fucking blatant with shoving adult images everywhere, especially the advertising on the sides of the site.

>>148394337
Also Grisaia had its anime to promote it

>>148384887
Okay, the Yves route was shorter than I thought and I just finished it. Basically,

Yves thinks her dad hates her because he refuses to meet her, but it turns out it's because he's in the last stage of brain cancer and about to die.
She then becomes the Successor by defeating Akane in a duel and gains power from the ritual.
Then she uses up all her douryoku to cure her dad's cancer and loses her powers, but lives happily ever after with Seiichi.

>>148394424
But those aren't visual novels that casuals think are flooding Steam and have to be stopped at all costs.

>>148394703
Yeah, she becomes less bitchy after everyone becomes friends.

>>148394928
First of all, undertale is a visual novel.
Second of all, casuals don't operate on that sort of level, they buy what's on the front page, what looks good, and what they see the media praising. Like undertale.

>>148394776
>I like lewd stuff, but I dont like visiting Lewdgamer. It's way too fucking blatant with shoving adult images everywhere, especially the advertising on the sides of the site.
You can use your adblock to block the images on the side of the screen. That's really the only thing that also bothers me, I don't really mind them posting HCG whenever possible, considering it's the gimmick of the site.

>>148395114
>First of all, undertale is a visual novel.
Steam players disagree, since it's not tagged as one, and even games with no words get labeled a visual novel anymore.

>>148394815
Well that's not as bad as I thought. Still pretty dumb though.
One question, how one sided is the fight between yves and akane? Without the MC to power her up she's pretty fucking weak.

>>148384552
Aroduc said he was translating porn a week before the announcement. The censored version, which doesn't exist in Japan at all, would be my guess. Dovac probably agreed to it assuming it was like any other VN and could just be cut or skipped.

>>148395653
Yeah, it seemed like a pretty big ass pull.
I thought Akane would be crushed easily, but she somehow powered up to fight Yves nearly equally without the MC's help. It made zero sense to me.

>>148369631
Drilljous are love
Drilljous are life

>>148395861
That's actually dumb as hell. I wonder if there were multiple writers on this would explain the inconsistency.
Where there any other side plots? The route seems short compared to Akane's.

>>148396169
Too bad they're all fat.
Show me drills on a girl with a proper figure.

breasts were a mistake

>>148396326
Yeah, another one is how they worked on MC's douryoku. He needed to be able to improve his douryoku within 3 days or risk being transferred.
After failing to do so multiple times, Sada tells him to think about protecting all his friends and lifestyle.
Then, he's suddenly able to boost his amp ability significantly through nakama power.

I honestly don't know why they did a literal translation. It was 動力 in the VN, so couldn't they just have translated it as power?

>>148396910
Under what context would they transfer him? he was already boosting people up almost a full level. Also Nakama power is something that is overused in this

>>148397109
Do only the peeps who got digital backer kits get a code? I got one with a physical copy and no code yet.

>>148397940
The reasoning was that the government researchers really wanted to examine MC, and the teacher would only be able to convince them to keep MC at the academy if they could prove his potential wasn't being wasted there.
If MC couldn't show improvement at the next examination, they would consider transferring him to somewhere he could do better.

How often do you buy digital games on sites that aren't steam, though? Outside of steam, people are only likely to buy the odd humble bundle. No one buys shit from the humble store, GOG, Origin, Uplay, Playism, whatever.
Some people buy games from key resellers like GMG or G2A, but those are just cheaper steam versions.

Fata Morgana is a really great recent one. Read it. Support localizing good VNs.

Drilltits are shit.
Kamikaze Explorers is shit.

Its amusing. A bit on the simplistic side and not as rabu-rabu-rabid as some moege. The art is splendid, value to the HUD fairly good, despite lack of hotkey settings/notifications. Zooming in on CGs is a nice touch too.

Read it if you like a moege with some fantasy elements rather than your 20000% romance levels.

Avoid if you hate shit like the MOMENT the protag is caught doing ANYTHING heinous everybody turns on him in a heartbeat, he's now suddenly Hitler. Then again that's pretty standard anyways.

Just started Umineko, how much of a mistake have I made?

Beatrice is a cross dressing man with a mutilated penis. Have fun.

you don't have enough love to know the answer

Good commentary, thanks.

I want to fuck the teacher.

Basically the first half is the best.

Why is 7 so bad?

I do my best

I'm assuming the teach doesn't have a hidden route and got fandisc baited.

Hours upon hours of info-dumping, introducing completely new characters that had absolutely no relevance before, tons of meta wankery that doesn't really make any sense, betraying previously held expectations (and not in the good way), etc.

Add all this on-top of piss-poor pacing and really the only saving grace of the whole thing was the Tea Party, which is actually pretty entertaining.

>>148406180
I actually very much enjoy meta-plot and meta-wankery. DO you know of any good VNs with good meta-wank/meta-plot?

>>148406256
I agree. I like it when it's done correctly, and Umineko has some of that in the previous episodes, but episode 7 had it at its worse.

And no. Sorry. I'm just a dirty EOP. I'm sure there are probably some good non-translated titles for that, though.

>>148406256
Forest :^)))))

Umineko best sprites torrent when?
Eve burst error R torrent when?

>>148406043
No route on the fandisk either.

Why is Hollow Ataraxia considered a fandisc?

>>148407297
it was an additional disc created for fans of fate/stay night

Would you believe me if I said I wasn't a virgin

Fuck.

It's not very hard to get laid in college. I assume most of /vn/ have had that level of education so at least half the people here are non-virgins.

>>148407669
I can't even afford VN's
