There's absolutely nothing stopping you from creating your own copy of the mosaic if you wish to do so. It's not difficult to make a meaningful contribution to the mosaic, even if one has no drawing skills. A1 was the addition of two images to that tile, and it was accepted.

In practice, rejection is used very rarely, only for tiles which are the result of the application of random filters/blurs/etc.

Didn't he already get the expenses covered by the IGG?

>>150056902
Honestly, FUCK you dovac. Im not one of those people who rail him over and over, but in this case, the H content was not worth the money, at least not the money they were asking.

>>150057010
He probably promised the Japanese devs that it would be. Plus he likely had high hopes for it too.

>>150057348
>but they really need to get something like Baldr Sky.
Futa Morgana is unironically the best officially translated plotge. Same EGS as Baldr, too. Himawari will be coming out soon and that's a fantastic and very highly rated title as well. Honestly both of those titles are better than anything that Sekai has touched. And it seems that MG is interested into doing more high-production moege.

>>150057515
True, I'm looking forward to Himawari.

Fata Morgana seems to be doing really poorly for MG, probably due to the art style. You can compare it to a hyped kamige all you want, but most people aren't interested in it.

>>150056902

>good writing

at least he got money at all, 5 times more people pirated Fata Morgana than bought it

karakara's piracy ratio is "merely" 60%

>>150057348
I dunno other than Baldr, Sekai kind of has jack shit. Mostly just stuff that we've had for years. Root Double was the only thing I was looking forward to from them and it ended up being shit.

Like >>150057515 says MG does have some pretty good titles underway, but I've enjoyed other parts of their library as well.

I mean I prefer a moe art-style as well, but I was able to get past that. It's a really good title and delicious on the ears as well.

I think it'll age well. Its reputation is only improving as people talk more and more about it. Plus, it's not like it could've been a huge loss for MG in the first place even if it did sell poorly. Novectacle is a very small studio.

The real flop that probably hurt MG financially was probably Tokyo Babel. And unlike FM I've heard mostly luke-warm reception regarding that title.

>>150057687
Wallet Status: At the polls

>>150057687
2 years later, dovac is absolutely winning in the license acquisition department though. Even though he's barely delivered on any major ones aside from Root Double.

I've said this before, but they have a good reputation in Japan because none of these complaints about SP filter over to the eroge devs in Japan. Other companies will see all the big licenses that SP licensed and sign on too.

I'm sure someone will tell me that SP is taking bad deals on the licenses, and that they'll lose a lot of money and it's not sustainable, etc etc. Firstly, that's speculation, and secondly, that's actually a good business model. Burn through some cash, acquire a portfolio that is impressive to the companies you're wooing (eroge devs) and use that to keep building up the portfolio.

>>150058049
Sounds like a Ponzi schema to me.

>>150058049
Most devs drop them and go solo after 1 or 2 games though. Sekai's recent sales on Steam haven't been exactly stellar either. G-Senjou flopped.

>>150058049
It's not speculation that Sekai is making shit deals to get "big" licenses. They've been consistently in the red over and over despite getting a large majority of their work subsidized by kickstarter.

>>150058049
which is a god damn shame.

They have all these licenses, yet the progress on them has been 0 in most cases, and they continue to fuck the scene up with butchered titles, or make it sound like it was a god damn chore to put the fucking full game on their adult store and that we should all feel gracious for them doing so.

I hope Degica makes a power play down the road and becomes the 3rd competitor since we will only benefit from it in the end.

>>150058049
>but they have a good reputation in Japan because none of these complaints about SP filter over to the eroge devs in Japan
Not exactly true. There was an article posted in /jp/ awhile ago and it went over what the reputations of MG and Sekai are in Japan, and from what I gather most of the Japanese audience thinks that Sekai is feeding lies to studios like Lose, promising Nekopara-tier sales for everything.

I think that while their license acquisition may seem impressive right now (not like they're doing anything with most of those licenses in the first place) their reputation will plummet and plummet as they continue to do bad business and over-promise on their deals. Frontwing dropped them. Akabei dropped them. Lose will drop them once Maitetsu flops. Ditto for their other acquisitions.

This kind of aggressive license-acquisition is only a good thing for Sekai if it pays off in the sales, which, other than Nekopara and their other cheap meme titles, they haven't. This is why Dovac is so noticeably frustrated on Twitter constantly over his companies reputation. Unless he can deplicate Nekopara success on other titles, it just isn't happening on their other license acquisitions.

Not him but a company can survive for a pretty long time in the red if they are producing results. I believe Amazon only recently became profitable, for instance.

>>150058415
Plus, Chunablesoft no doubt spread the word after they got told by 4chan and reddit to stay the fuck away from SP.

>>150058415
>duplicate Nekopara success on other titles
That's like trying to get lightning to strike. Now that vns as a Steam fad have decreased and the market is so saturated, it's especially hard to get a vn to sell more than a few hundred or thousand copies.

>>150058678
Well, that's another thing. I don't know if the President of Chuablesoft did actually spread the word about Sekai, but Chuablesoft is a good example of how a piss-poor reputation in the West CAN affect license acquisitions for them in the East.

People on /jp/ only went after the Chuablesoft guy for persuasion purposes due to their hatred for SP. Dovac was incredibly salty over this.

>>150058754
Yeah, but it's likely what they're promising their partners. It's really their only golden sales figure. Aside from the Sakura series and a few other very cheap meme VNs, that is.

The original Grisaia did well too, but that had an anime going for it.

>>150058578
Man, I honestly dont want that. I just want them to get their head out of their ass and stop doing dumb things.

>>150058645
Sure, twitter is still in the red and just had to make major cutbacks. The difference is the scale of operations. You're not going to get investors to bail you out constantly like major tech companies do if your yearly gross isn't even 7 digits, never mind in the adult, questionable legality lolicon industry.

>>150058945
If they don't keep making big promises that they can't keep then the big licenses they've managed to get until now will likely dry up.

I'd honestly hope dovac grows a fucking brain and admits he's a filthy shill, fixes SP, they stop bleeding money out every possible orifice, and actually attempts to contend with the other companies for releasing decently localized VNs.

But that's about as fucking likely as the Pope declaring in public on Holy Friday he's converting to fuckin Islam.

If memory serves, karakara and corona are priced exactly the same (including the 18+ patches) but corona ends up offering quite a bit more content. (Story lasts about 10 hours for vol 1. give or take). So Frontwing already wins in that respect (I'd venture to say Corona's much better than Karakara as well).

>even when Sekai Project does things right people don't support them
That's really going to make them want to do it again.

How do people like Dovac justify their beliefs? How the hell can you charge $10+ for literally 2-3 scenes that were supposed to be included anyway? If Baldr Sky actually comes out I'm sure it will be $50/game with with $20 18+ patches.

>>150073780
$18+ patches are a revenue source, I find it hard to believe they'll miss out on it. It might take an extra year to come out though, once they realize that so many people won't buy a butchered version.

The case with amazon is that they're reinvesting every bit of profit back into the company, which makes it look like they're "unprofitable" cause they dont hoard money. Sure at the end of the year they're either red or barely black, but they've expanded yet again.

Amazon doesnt care for profit (for now) they care about expansion. Just this year they built 1 new serverfarm 2 packet locations and are now trying out drone delivery. In my country alone.

There are laws in place to make that impossible you fucking retard. If you could reduce profits by reinvesting back into the company then everyone would do it and nobody would pay taxes.

The irony of someone as ignorant of basic accounting as you lecturing me about "finance".

I should've expected this exact reply honestly, I knew you would've said something to the effect of "do you hate investing bro?". Let me me rephrase my previous post and make it as clear as I possibly can:

Money spent on future investment does not count as expenses.
Money spent on future investments doesn't reduce profitability.If it did, you could do it to pay less taxes. Furthermore, even if they could, amazon would probably want to make itself seem more profitable, because they're a publicly traded company.

As soon as you implied that amazon, or any company for that matter, can make itself seem less profitable than they actually by reinvesting their money, you outed yourself as a dumbass. The sad part is that you thought you were being informative by teaching us of this "clever trick" that amazon uses.

>>150079015
Investions do get deducted over time though.
Just not all at once.

It's for the people who want all their games on Steam, but demand porn too even though Steam doesn't allow it on their site. Official patches are the easiest way around that, but people don't wan to extra for it if the extra content doesn't add much content.

rereading it and there's a scene where kenichi is talking to the rest of the characters about how touka always says "ill murder you" or "ill kill you" (something along those lines) and they all act like he's crazy

>>150089647
but she says it to him during that scene, which he points out to everyone else

they then act like he's crazy and he passes out and wakes up in touka's house thinking that it was a dream; shortly after, he is told that it was not, but there is no explanation about it

later on, kyouko says "i'll murder you!" in response to something kenichi says before a scene changes

you mean to make the reader think that he's crazy? because marijuana usage alone wouldn't really be enough for this in real life. it just seems fishy to make. thanks for all the ideas though.
also-this is probably nothing but from that website tvtropes there is a passage saying "Hey, That's My Line!: Sachi gets annoyed at Kenichi for using her morning catchphrase - "All right! Today I'm going to give it my all at full power!" - twice. On the other hand, when he tries using Touka's - "I'll murder you!" - he only gets blank looks... because the people he says it to either refuse to admit it or are a dream of his." doesn't really make sense

i guess the reason i'm confused is that there are no other examples of this except for with this one catchphrase. maybe it's more clear in japanese

Hmm, I'm not so sure then. Kinda makes me want to reread it too though.

Well keep at it, perhaps it'll be made clearer in the future

the art changes in a few clicks, sorry, should have picked a better sshot

Do the pacing issues in root double get better again? It was a good read at the beginning, but right now it feels just slugish reading through it

the next image is all of them with their sad/concerned art

but...yeah, i agree that they're most likely just fucking with him

>>150090889
It could also be that it's actually you-know-who who's saying it, and since that person had a big influence on Touka's personality, Kenichi might be subconsciously overlapping the two. That's also why no one else notices it, or rather why they ignore it, because it's out of that certain necessity.

>>150092546
"touka never met ririko though - do you mean influence on kenichi overlapping with ririko and touka being similar?

Jesus christ. Someone should translate this stuff to Japanese and send it to Giga's Twitter account.

No serious head of a company would ever act like this much of a screaming manchild, and certainly no one would want to do business with him if they saw them acting like this.

I'm pretty sure they did, but I'm also going off what vndb says in the character description that they were neighbors and stuff.

>>150093105
"oh. at the start of touka's chapter kenichi talks about how refreshing it is to not have to supervise someone from his past, but now that you say that i feel like i remember there being an overlap between the two (dont mind!!). thanks man, i like the idea that ririko is somehow involved in this bit--i still don't exactly understand the nature of it...which is fun!!! after chugging through the stupidity of yoake mae and koiken otome it's refreshing to have things to think about after closing the game. hope you and all others that responded have wonderful lives. peace from vietnam

This desu. SP should focus on improving themselves and keep dovac out of twitter at once. Not even a week since he returned to it and he's already having another meltdown. And this "I hate this industry" attitude is making me lose any little faith I STILL had in them. He should learn to distinguish actual criticism from twitter trolls and retards (most of the people ITT for example), pay attention to the former and ignore the latter.

The issue is that Karakara isn't selling well and people aren't buying the 18+ patch for it. Then someone comes along and creates a torrent for the patch, losing what few sales they were getting for it. To dovac it's like even when he tries to do good people still don't support Sekai. However, $20 for Karakara is too much for the western market given how short the vn is.

He's retarded to get that upset about it. Piracy is simply a reality of literally any company that engages in online media.

All his Twitter rants do is further alienate the actual audience that he has and validate the people who were already shutting him and his company down.
