Maitetsu is a 30+ hour long visual novel with train info dumps, a lot of loli fanservice, and a whole lot of other boring shit. The H-scenes aren't even part of the main game. Needless to say I didn't particularly enjoy myself, especially not in comparison to Monobeno.
Anyway, I don't think that they'll release it on Steam without heavy censorship due to the fact that Lose really doesn't shy away from the loli pandering whatsoever. Especially considering with what happened with Yohjo Simulator. Stuff like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILBSdb4vza0&feature=youtu.be&t=180
Is exclusive from H-scenes. They will have to be cut, and there's more than a few of these in the very beginning of the game iirc.
Personally I don't think this title will do too well with the English audience. Lolicon material is compartively more niche, not to mentiont he subject matter in the visual novel overall for the main story won't be that interesting for most people. Trains, politics, economics, industrialization, etc. all these are thrown in a bag in a really boring manner. Throw that on top of the inevitably high price tag and I can only assume that it will fail like G-Senjou, Root Double, and the recent Grisaia fan disc.
>>15501188
Fuck if I know. I literally have no idea why those two are doing business. Mangagamer is based in Japan so it'd be no problem to give them Maitetsu, but Sekai? That's a fucking PR nightmare if they don't do it right, and it's a PR nightmare if they DO do it right (and by which, I mean gut it completely to get it on steam).
>>15501242
You know you'll like it
>>15501236
I don't think anything was added or changed, someone just did a repost of this weeks thread because of how fast it went after AX. Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart being picked up was also discovered since the previous thread was made.
>>15501253
Konosora Maitetsu edition soon
>>15501271
Ha. Are they going to give everyone bath towels? Well, it's Live2D so I doubt they could even if they wanted to.
>>15501258
Forgot about Nora. That was just a small update in case people hadn't checked MG's twitter
>>15501253
The right way to release that is to do an all-ages version with a sekrit day one patch (and actually release it day one). And make it clear.
>>15500846
I'm gonna try to get it done by Friday, but it might be next week depending on how dead I am from this cold.
>>15501329
SP doesn't have the balls to do that, unfortunately. The only release will be the cut release and it'll probably underperform Tokyo Babel.
>>15501334
Get better, Haro. And thanks for everything.
>>15501336
I know. And they can get fucked in the ass. They deserve to flop for not being able to deal with the situation accordingly. I mean if they cry on twitter about how the game has not performed because of lolifags boycotting who else is going to buy the game?
>>15501334
Is it a japanese cold? Try to not die.
>>15501334
Don't die.
>>15501329
The thing is, it's risky.
I don't really reconcile lolis with actual kids since they often don't act or actually look like kids (Toddlercon is a whole nother ballpark altogether, and I don't like that), but Lose pushes it a bit closer than a lot of other companies do. Then again they are proportionally--aside from height and bust size--too out of means with actual children considering the exaggerated hip and ass sizes many of them have in the CG. Those are distinctly womanly proportions. Not childish ones.
But bear in mind the public outcry stuff like Rapelay has caused. I can see the theoretical headlines on gaming websites already; "There's a Child Fucking Simulator on Steam!" wherein they would focus on how you can patch your game to have sex with some lolis. This is what I mean when I talk about a PR nightmare. Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions here or over-exaggerating.
>>15501336
>>15501347
At least Lose will know to stay in Japan from now on and not care about EOPs.
>>15501370
>But bear in mind the public outcry stuff like Rapelay has caused. I can see the theoretical headlines on gaming websites already
Honestly surprised this hasn't happened already. Steam is getting flak for some other shady business practices but nothing about the fact that there's about 10 games you can easily patch to have R18+ content, or a game that's deliberately selling a R18+ DLC.
>>15501253
Those sprite tits look so bad.
>>15501236
Isn't that some kind of "Well we could work on it if minori asks" announce and not the official obligation?
>>15501550
Yeah, they look like implants don't they? I really don't know why a lot of artists can't do tits properly. Y'know. They don't need to sag like grannie's tits, but they DO need a bit of sag. And space them out, jesus. You'd think a lot of these people have never seen tits before.
Actually, a big thing that pissed me off about Maitetsu is how unnatural the Live2D stuff felt. Everyone looking at you 24/7 really bugged me. The animations felt a bit wonky and overly exaggerated. Downright weird in some of the H scenes.
I would rather have a shit ton of still variations for sprites rather than fully animated ones, honestly.
>>15501519
Probably because nobody really cares about chinese porn novels. The media has plenty of other things to attack nowadays than shit that comes from Japan.
>>15501253
Reminder that if you don't buy Maitetsu you are are le entitled and le killing the VN industry :^)
>>15501544
Bethesda is safe in said exmaple. They have the ultimate card "Its unauthorised user modified files/textures/modding/w.e and hence we don't bear responsibility for it". 18+ patch is a different story it IS official patch that officialy supported and distributed and thus its said company responsibility.
>>15501184
When I said this to dovac he told me "Why? The game's erotic content isn't even part of the story" and "You want us to prioritize 18+ content and give it out for free" and then he blocked me.
gaijins don't don't deserve loli desu
>>15501226
Hilarious, thanks for the laugh, anon
>>15502517
That really bothers me. The 18+ content is a part of the game, it should be treated the same as the rest of the content. You shouldn't be able to take stuff out of a game and charge more for it while acting like everyone should be thankful for even getting it.
50% of baldr sky cg are going to censored
http://exhentai.org/g/181166/ad886e091f/?p=2
>>15502667
Well, who knows? They've been evasive but maybe with all the bitching they'll change their minds.
Personally I didn't care for the H too much in Baldr, I was too per-occupied with the game itself most of the time. That being said there are some decent scenes. The game can easily stand on its own without H.
That being said I'm still against a strict all-ages decision simply because of the idea surrounding it rather than the action itself. I won't support censorship of any kind. No exceptions.
Any chance of 12riven actually coming out?
Maybe some new fan project to translate it, that gets a "sudden burst in progress" wink wink?
MG used to have a terrible reputation.
Maybe Dovac will stop being public, and they'll publish their backlog.
And maybe JAST will release Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa
Maybe MG will actually get sales for their Kamige.
Maybe Doddler will get the loli laws overturned in Canada, and get a massive payout from a lawsuit so he doesn't have to work another day in his life, and can do this full time.
>>15502517
>"Why? The game's story isn't even part of the gameplay" and "You want us to prioritize story content and give it out for free"
We sell games, not novels. Why do you even care about the story? It's not even part of the game, and Odin Sphere is a game. And yet you insist on also having the story? What an entitled little piece of shit you turned out to be. /blocked
>>15502698

/jp/ should just crowd translate games. Round up a dozen or two weedlords and put them to work.
>>15502729
/jp/ already does some stuff like that, look at the Kikokugai the Cyberslayer updated version. Done by a single /jp/sie.
Now, if someone could hack Phantom of Inferno (2013), we could go from the DVD only version to a new version. Depending on laziness, we could even manually transcribe the script from the 2000 version, and edit it. Though I don't know if they actually have the same script, I'm just spitballing
>>15502735
>Kikokugai the Cyberslayer updated version
I love that this was worked on. Love it.
>>15502735
>The game can be difficult to play on a PC, as many media players will not display the video and subtitles properly or at all. Two known media players that do work include VLC and PowerDVD. VLC will run with no problems, allowing the player to fast forward scenes with the slider bar, but the password system will give the player a blank screen if the player attempts to use it. PowerDVD will run fine as well, but sometimes it will not let the player to use the slider bar to fast forward scenes, which can make it more time consuming to replay the game and obtain different endings. PowerDVD also has a working fast-forward option, however it can cause the game to freeze up and stop responding at certain scenes.
>The DVD version removed the save/load system from the PC version, replacing it with a password system to jump to selected points in the story. The CG gallery was also removed in porting, and there is no way to go back and re-read the text in previous scenes. The English subtitles suffer from various quality issues, such as a large amount of typo or grammar mistakes, liberal translations, and sometimes fail to show up at certain points in the story. One particular instance has the character Cal say "Thanks" in the English subtitles, at a time when Zwei is asking about her age.
>>15502735
No hacker will do work before there's some proof that it would be used. Maybe you could get someone to dump the scripts for you, I guess.
>>15502761
I was just spitballing.
Seems like an "easy" title that is a kamige but in total disrepair

It's supposed to come out in English around the same time it launches in Japan, which is early 2017, unless they reannounce it at Anime Boston next year, then this is its official announcement. Honestly, they should have cleared it with MG first, because that really should've been listed with their other announcements instead of being overlooked for the most part.
>>15502690
It will most likely come out officially, since the translation group went legit.

Apparently now that Sekai has licensed SakuSaku, it's supposed to come out around this December.
Why make a second thread? You fucks should just wait for the next update on Sunday. If you want to whine about the VN licensing industry go to /vn/, there's plenty of that there.

Why not wish for them to turn into a not shit company, and transition like Mangagamer?
I'd rather have two good publishers that release stuff, instead of just one. Mangagamer is great and all, but competition is a great motivator.
>>15502956
Their CEO is a retard, unless they replace him I will never support them.

>>15502959
Payne's an absentee CEO.
Would you prefer an absentee CEO or a retard?
So, I know Doddler didn't have internet for a while.
Was there ever some news story on what happened?
Were charges dropped?
>>15502965

>>15502944
何ダファっ久！
>>15502974
He wasn't confined or detached from internet in any way, you are misremembering things.
Police decided to not go to court with case, Doddler voluntarily accepted certain terms (stay away from kids, visit counsel) and they dropped charges, so he's not convicted and not on sex offenders list.
>>15502977

>>15503002

Jast has mad potential but they seem to not have any dedicated staff. Their twitter is barely updated, they have 3k posts while Sekai which is much younger has 9k. They stealth release their games and shit, games enter limbo territory permanently, etc.
>>15503007
Their crappy localizations don't show mad potential.
>>15503007
JAST got J-list, good partners and most of their VNs sell decently.
>>15502895
It's not really a surprise if it they list down 6 things and only announced 5.
Also, considering that this is the "surprising announcement" that minori was hinting, Good Haro seem like she knew about it, so I guess the rest of MG was in the know.
>>15503051
It might still get officially announced, like Supipara did last year, or the Fata Morgana fandisc did this year.

>>15503229
If you add to his hate for anime the fujoshi/yaoi/lesbian series of this season, then you can see why he is so busy, poor guy.
>>15503214
It would be really dumb if dovac negotiated like they already had the fan TL licensed from Aroduc, and if they can't work something out then the Baldr license might not come out or be delayed forever.
>>15503241
I can only imagine the drama. Almost orgasmic
Aroduc should make a patron account so we can pay him to never work with with Dovac.

>>15503475

It's a best case scenario for us if Aroduc tells them to fuck off and still releases his patch.

>>15500095
>>15503504
Do you really think that NTR fans are going to feel pandered by a BL nukige that only uses it as a background?
And Haro could be talking about loli too and cosidering how well Sweet Sweat sold it is really possible.
>>15503612
Sweet Sweat sold decently for a short nukige, that's not the same as it being a great seller. NTR titles have also been frequently requested.
>>15503612
>And Haro could be talking about loli too and cosidering how well Sweet Sweat sold it is really possible.
Good lord, this makes me think of MG announcing Monobeno. Unfortunately I don't think it'll happen but there are several other loli VNs out there. I'm looking forward to Otakon but as usual, not expecting anything earth-shattering.
>>15503529
And then Aroduc gets lawsuited into the ground.
>>15503634
When is the last time anyone got sued for a fan TL, even of something licensed?
>>15503171
It wasn't. It was boring shit and it took me 2 months to finish.
>>15503664
Dovac will launch an indiegogo to pay the lawyer fees.
>>15503631

>>15503666
Dear devil,
Eden is a story of breaking the chains that bind you from doing something, of hope, of fulfilling one's life, of love.
It's only natural someone as evil and cursed like you could not understand and appreciate such tale.
>>15503732
No, that's not happening. Don't want you guys getting your hopes up for that. As far as I understand it, the developers have no interest in releasing the original doujin version of the game.
>>15503738
You're being extremely rude.
>>15503738
I like raburabu moege though.
I bet he shitposts on the Jay.
>>15503631
I would temper those expectations. It could just as easily be another short ammolite game, they've made a few more games with loli heroines since then.
If it's actually a title of note, they might have gotten in with galette. I remember kouryuu remarking ages ago on them on his ask.fm. Most of their titles are also less predatory than most lolige so they'd probably be better for probing the water.
That's if you dare to hope at all. I personally wouldn't.
>>15503845
kouryuu posted on /jp/ many many years ago, but I doubt he does anymore. Probably just uses the archive to search for mangagamer to see what the current buzzing is(since it's his job and all), and perhaps gets posts about him pointed out to him by people that do browse regularly.
>>15503855
Hi Kouryuu.
>>15503845
Nah, I don't think he does anymore. It's really just me, doddles, cucumber-kun and aru that post on 4chan regularly afaik.

She doesn't care about customers? I don't believe you for one bit.
>>15503898
The only other cum-breathed skank at MG is BDH.
Huh, it looks like that whining on the sharin no kuni kickstarter actually had an effect, daily pledges increased with it.
Still a long way to go, but if they can keep 2k per day they might atleast have a shot.
>>15503845
SP needs a Kouryuu to shake things up like he did for MG. The first big thing he did was even to overturn loli censorship after all.
They're gonna make it! How can this prediction be wrong?
>>15503923
SP's problem is Dovac. There's no overturning that.
>>15503923
I don't think that's really possible for SP. Mangagamer needed someone to take control of their English side, and Kouryuu was the first to step into that role. Most importantly, management was able to be convinced to let him do it. SP's issues start at the top, and I don't think that can easily change.
>>15503935
...and part of his staff, especially Herkz.
>>15503924
It's theoretically possible. It's keeping pace with how root double did, and that just barely made it.
It's going to require some pushing though.
>>15503949
I don't think herkz is involved with anything outside of grisaia so that problem should sort itself out eventually.
>>15503954
RD is Sekai throwing in their own funds to get the rest of the pledges.
>>15503968
Even if you subscribe to that conspiracy theory being true, there's nothing that says the same thing couldn't happen for sharin no kuni
>>15503971
They just haven't thought of it yet.
>>15503971
Even the greediest of nip companies have too much honour to stoop that low.
>>15503988
>>15503988
You obviously know nothing about them. It would reflect poorly for it to fall. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2 top tier backers were asked to do it. I mean, who would pledge $1500 to this? Someone that interested in it would have already played the translation.

I used to post on /jp/ back in our early days when I had more time too. Now a days keeping up with press and stuff takes up too much time for me to frequent it. I generally rely on Doddler/Good_Haro/Cucumber-kun to filter things my way. I've beenreading the recent /jp/ threads post-AX though, since DC3's done and I'm in-between projects atm. (About to work on some internal stuff this month that'll help the company, but might not be seen for a while~)
I can always be reached on my twitter though. I check that often, and my ask.fm somewhat often--(It's manageable now that I don't have 100 questions backlogged, lol)

Baldr and Maitetsu 18+ confirmed.
>>15504047
Why would anybody jump to the conclusion that there'll be no uncut version when that's literally happened in the past? Especially when it was announced at a panel that was supposed to have uncut version announcements and didn't? Utter Madness.
>>15504067
>Maitetsu 18+
I think that's literally the only way to even possibly get some people to think he might be genuinely.
It's also never going to happen
>>15504047
This is much better than his usual rants. Not that it likely means much for the end result of Baldr, but Dovac probably would be in much better standing within the community if he addressed concerns like this as opposed to ill advised rants.
>>15504062
Thanks. The tire wasn't too bad since I had warranty/coverage on it. We'll see how bad the rest hits later. I'm just glad I'm not driving on a spare anymore for now.
>>15504047
Hey, that's actually an improvement from Dovac. He's not spitting bile everywhere, Doddler shamed him into being civil for once.
>>15504047
Even when he copies what better people from proper companies have tweeted recently he still can't get it right.
>>15504081
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If we had shit like this all the time it would be a lot easier to sympathize.
Like we said in the last thread though, the relationships is a tough one. It's been neglected and treated poorly for so long now that we can't really take it too seriously straight away.
If they keep up this kind of behavior for a long time and actively try to encourage what people say they want, then that'll be good progress.
>>15504095
He'd also have to actually deliver in addition to chilling the fuck out.
>>15504081
Well, it at least means that he's aware people are angry, probably even angrier than usual. So it's not like they're unaware of the demand.
I'm sure his "wait for news" will really end being "no 18+" or super delayed releases to where nobody even cares anymore.
>>15504086
More like Aroduc.
>>15504036
When are you guys going to announce Dies irae and show Jast and SP how a kamige should be treated?
>>15504081
Nah he's just gearing up for LOL BALDR KICKSTARTER OR YOU GET NOTHING LOL
Cmon MG localize this https://vndb.org/v17284
though doddler should probably stay away.
Given that that kickstarter for that japanese school life title of theirs got cancelled, I think dovac's probably a bit more skittish about kickstarters these days. Probably realized that the well is starting to run dry.
>>15504124
They had to get real desperate to reach the goal for Root Double and it probably cost them a fair share of money. After that they immediately switched to flexible funding on Indiegogo and it's probably not a coincidence.
>>15504131
>>15504124
ﾜﾛﾀ
>>15504118
If mangagamer were to pick up a loli title I think it'd be anything but that one.
>>15504036
>>15504085
Kouryuu, you clearly agree that double u is superior. What do you think about Arunaru making Yuuki into Yuki, which is another common name?
>>15504118
desu this art is downsy as fuck
>>15504131
Yeah. He knew what he was doing when he made those "mistakes". He's now going to stop making those "mistakes" because he can't get away with it anymore. It's a joke that he wants to sweep it all under the rug by saying they're a growing company.
See, the MG people never insulted their customers (to my knowledge) so it's easy to believe their recent tweets were genuine.
>>15504145
Your dedication to this is impressive.
>>15504134
Pretty much. Rather than a kickstarter, I just expect both episodes to be 60 bucks each.
>>15504163
It bothers me a lot.
>>15504158
Even if he doesn't mean it and still holds the same scorn for everyone like he used to, so long as the company changes in accordance to a "nice-guy" facade, then that's fine by me.
>>15501253
>Lolicon material is compartively more niche
And it gathers 180 000 dollars in kickstarter projects. You probably want in on that niche, at least if you are going to kickstarter something.
>>15504186
To be fair, that's pretty par for the course for most feitshes. Fetishists are willing to dish out money for the content they like because they realize that it is in comparatively lower circulation and that they need to support it to keep getting those kind of titles. Just look at all those furfag patreons, with some furfag creators literally raking in tens of thousands per month.
>>15504131
I am guessing a lot of it is the long delays for already paid for products. WEE, Grisaia, and others have been behind schedule and are still not finished, and any Vita stuff has yet to happen. It probably is difficult to convince the people who were supporting Kickstarters to pay for another one while they are still waiting on the previous kickstarters. Now something like Baldr probably could overcome that through sheer strength of the title, but for a generic doujin title or even a decent moege, it becomes much harder to get people to pay to wait for something else.
It's funny that Doddler's the one causing the drama to spill over.
>>15504186
While I'm not sure the Kickstarter is really indicative of the size of the loli fandom (it barely passed its goal, but some people avoided the KS due to fear of being FBI'd, fear of the company censoring it, or because they'd already read the source material), I also get the feeling that loli is probably the largest fetish within the anime community. A proper lolige would probably do decently. I think if Monobeno got released it'd do fairly well, especially since people love smug anime faces.
That said, it's a really touch subject and I'm sure more than a few people who are into it would be scared of buying the material due to the odd legality surrounding it.
>>15504145
It's not a mistake, just a differing localization choice. When I worked on DEARDROPS, we used the official spellings that condensed the vowels.
It's a perfectly valid decision to use it.
We generally use Hepburn, and either way of writing it fits with that system. A lot of engines don't support macrons, after all.
I think Atelier Sakura could be a good partner for Mangagamer. NTR seems popular judging from what i see on sadpanda.
>>15504228
I'm not saying it's a mistake; I'm saying he's making it into a different common name.
Plus, he's not consistent in the system, he only shortens it for one vowel combination and leaves it long for the others.
I'll stick a wet blanket on you lolicons right now. If you even get a title at all it's gonna be some weaksauce shit like https://vndb.org/v17897
You ain't getting galette titles or iris titles, and you certainly aren't getting monobeno.
>>15504229
Heard this series is pretty good https://vndb.org/v12949
>>15503634
Not if it is the 18+ version. Sekai hasn't licensed that for all we know so it would be totally legal and a competely different game that no customers would want to buy anyway. Just ask Dovac or Herkz, they both know what sells.
>>15503742
>As far as I understand it, the developers have no interest in releasing the original doujin version of the game.
This is what is killing VN in Japan. They stopped producing what people want and decided to just masturbate and do whatever they felt like.
A lot of people have no interest in paying for censorship, so they are just setting themselves up for poor sales and high piracy.
>>15504078
Yea, I'm using that as a flag. If uncensored full adult version, the Dovac route opens up with hot steamy sex. If cut content, then yandere bad end with Dovacs dick cut off.
>>15504336
Who would want to fuck a skeleton?
>>15504343
But anon, Skeletons are the ultimate ero
>>15504219
Physicals yes, but I doubt anyone into loli has a fear of downlolading loli materials. It is after all how they survive.
>>15504352
Source? I really like public nudity/x-ray comics and have all too few.
>>15504047
This is a good attitude however, dovac himself should know what happens when you make last minute announcements without having all the details worked out.
I sincerely hope this attitude he's demonstrating isn't something temporary but a sign of him changing for the better.
This doesn't mean SP doesn't continue making stuff that bothers me though.
>>15504369
Yuusha ga Shinda! c.32.
Google is your friend.
>>15504067
It's confirmed he's trying. Doesn't mean it will work out, but the effort is there.
>thinking dovac is genuine
Wouldn't be the first time he tried placate the VN fans. He'll just lie for a few months, people fund his kickstarter, and then it's "fuck you, entitles twats".
>>15504537
I don't believe he's genuine either but at least there's an effort there. He needs to keep this up for a long, long time before I buy into it.
>>15504537
Even if he's pretending to not be a cunt, if it results in 18+ releases then it's an improvement over him just insulting the fanbase then doing nothing to improve the situation.
>>15504492
Should probably use google more yes. I used my 3 old image detectors from 2009 or something that were the thing back then. Not very useful in this case.
>>15504537
Dovac can be a cunt all he wants, I don't care about the man. I just want good, uncensored VNs. If he can deliver that then he can be as big a prick as he wants, I couldn't care less.
>>15504543
He'll keep it up for as long as all those twitter self-exiles or his.
I want a Nukige with a good story
Reminder that you guys wouldn't have VNs at all without dovac. The market would be FLOUNDERING.

I think there is a bigger problem upcoming then Dovac. Everyone seems to be forgetting about Degicas Visual Novel Maker, if its anything like the RPG maker then the upcoming flood of VNs could kill the Steam market completely.
>>15504948

Though, it's weird how the Japanese site has a free, less-features version while in English there's only the paid version.
It's based off of this:

>>15505050
Nice font, Degica
>>15505123
Why is the ellipses there...
>>15505124
It's indicating a pause or delay in the narration where a comma would be too short and a period would improperly divide the sentence. In this case, it is used to indicate hesitation or a delay between the brushing aside of the hair and the kiss. I can't comment further on exactly what without better context.

> we didn't have time at panel to announce 18+
What a pile of bullshit.
They had more than enough time to be asked about 18+ specifically, and they answered with non-answer.
> we just signed contract, we still don't know
Holy fuck, how can you not know what you just signed? Intellectual Property related contracts are very detailed, it either says 18+ is included in what they got rights for or it doesn't.
> we made symbolic 18+ shop to dump nekopara patches there, so you can't call us porn-haters!111
Every single thing that made it to denpa is there only because of major community outcry or imposed on sekai by developers.
dovac repeatedly stated that VN fans and porn-lovers are not his audience and that we should fuck off and never bother sekai again. Those rants feel much more genuine than this half-assed atttempt at damage-control.
>>15504948
It's like 10 years too young to pay attention to it.
Here, have a more substantial reason for your paranoia:
http://www.siliconera.com/2016/06/13/unity-game-engine-will-support-renpy/
Flowers fucking when?
>>15505440
Exactly, and the fact that the Giga dude confirmed that it was only all-ages make that even more obvious.
And when the game was announced all-ages you had the moogy squad and several sekai employees defending that decision.
The fact they did the same shit with maitetsu, saying that they were going to say something later just make it even worse, and makes me question that the people saying that dovac is changing are just naive or simply dumb.
>>15505459
Isn't that a dovac project?
>>15505470
Seems like a Sekai Project to me.
Isn't it even more lovely if it's indeed dovac's?
renpytom seems like a cool guy.
>>15504047
I will have to see a list of SP-published 18+ VNs -- with the uncensored content in all its entirety -- which is as long as that post chain before SP gets a singe cent from me.
The talk is cheap, I'm not trusting a single word SP staff utters.

>>15505674
Man it'll be a hell of a saltstorm if dovac tries to pull a kickstarter without confirming 18+ or not.
>>15505674
Considering the 1.25 million Muv Luv Alternative pulled in I can imagine that Giga wants a kickstarter.
>>15505674
Does SP staff suffer from mass amnesia?
They negotiated with GIGA for several months according to my sources, you'd think they would memorize every clause by heart by that time.
>>15505724
What, you actually read what you sign? Man, no one's got time for that.
>>15503732
>>15504301
Why do people persist in whining about the shitty porn in Himawari? The scenes were shoehorned in to make sales as an unknown doujin game, which is no different to porn being cut to make sales on Steam or the like.
>>15505710
It would be even better if they do a Kickstarter and the core fanbase he says he doesn't need to pander to just tells him to fuck off, 18+ or not.
>>15505745
Fun as it would be, you know it wouldn't happen.
>>15505753
Sadly, I do.
>>15505745
The core fanbase knows what's he's doing is shit; however, the meme-loving normies just wants that game because they "heard" that it was good. They will fund it for sure with all-ages version because they expect other fans to do the work of giving them the uncut version.
>>15505710
Remember when Grisaia was supposed to have an 18+ hardcopy release, then he changed it post-kickstarter and told everyone to deal with it?
Fuck if I'll ever believe his lies.
>>15505745
They can justify having the kickstarter, and not tying it to the Steam release, just by saying something like the kickstarter is for a physical release. They could also tie the 18+ patch to the completion of the Kickstarter, saying it requires extra work beyond what they need to release it on Steam.
