Looks like the moeday "flash" sale was dropped in favor of a fall sale. That seems like a bit of a strange choice considering they literally just ran a long sale so I wonder if it was a spur of the moment thing to try to sell that cartagra+kns bundle?

Is there's going to be three translation projects for something, why can't there be three for a good project like White Album 2?
>>14237365
Don't worry, White Album 2 already has the best machine translators we could find working on it.
>>14237365
Why don't you learn Japanese and read whatever you want whenever you want?

Those first two projects are never going to be finished. The number of projects basically means nothing.
Hrm. I'm oddly interested in trying the Euphoria demo even though it looks like a pretty shitty game. Problem is, Zestiria will be out that day, so I'll have another shitty game to play. (I think everyone is lying about that game being shitty because the Tales fanbase is full of some of the dumbest people I have met in my life.) Decisions, decisions.
Well, I could probably try it while installing it. Though I don't think that will take too long. How long are demos, usually?
>>14237365
Does that list include Cokesakto? (RIP)
For people who missed it, here's the conclusion to the Doddler drama: http://ask.fm/The_Doddler/answer/131656071921
Overall a nice story but the pacing was horrible.
>>14237570
There's still one unsolved mystery, though. What character was the onahole of?
>>14237519
The demo are at least one hour long (it's a demo after all). And if MG is smart enough, they'll do it like KnS demo, being also online.
>>14237519
Looking forward to some quality writing
>>14237646
I've heard it's actually pretty deep, and not just in the "lol deep (innuendo)" sexual way. I wonder how true that is. Like if it is actually a genuinely well written game even if you set aside the edgy ero.
>>14237645
Errr, I think the KnS demo was a different situation since it's all ages.

Maybe worse is the right word.
There's not much difference between this thread and the /vg/ thread now.
>>14237365
Commie project is a troll project to make you wait for a translation that does not exist.
By the way, White Album 2 is a machinetl project.
If you can't wait you just have to read it with VNR because it'll be the same result. Stop spreading hype for fuwanovel retards.
>>14237695
>>14237698
I can't believe this stupid "kuso" thing managed to become a meme on /jp/. You idiots have low standards.

>Commie project is a troll project to make you wait for a translation that does not exist.
The same is somewhat true about Subahibi. I'm actually friends with Kingshriek and while we don't talk about it much, it came up the other day and he said they completely stopped work on it after that last patch (80%?) was leaked. They just keep pretending they're working on it because they think it's hilarious to fuck with the people who keep coming into IRC to ask about it. Which, to be fair, it is.
I wasn't very surprised, but I guess you guys might be interested in knowing this.
>>14237735
Is it a meme?
It's just a goddamn word.
You want me to say it the other way? This thread is shit.
>>14237745
Oh, and before you ask, this wasn't on IRC or something, he's an IRL friend. We went out drinking that night. I had one of those Orchard Pig ciders, very tasty.
>>14237767
And why is it shit?
I will explain to ya:
- all the Doddler drama has jackshit to do with translation
- people here don't even play eroge anymore, they just use this thread for blogging their stupid shit
- no one wants to learn jap and the jap speakers have left the thread
It's just EOP blogging EOP shit.
>>14237767
You're shit. Also, all of Elf's games are shit.
>>14237005
Have any good games been translated since 2011?
>>14237782
Oh, the same guy.
No wonder.
>>14237778
>It's just EOP blogging EOP shit.
Welcome to the VNTS thread.
>>14237783
Seven good games.
>>14237745
Subahibi was supposed to be released during August. We are at mid-october and people still think that it'll be out soon.
How can they be so credulous and naive ? Maybe the newfags don't know that Herkz and Kirby are like teenagers who make pranks channel on youtube. They crave attention because their mothers hated them when they were little.
>>14237783
Starless.
>>14237787
Yeah, your shitposting style is very obvious. No wonder.
>>14237198
Do you think they realize how much time they're wasting on this game since hardly anyone gives a shit about Da Capo?
>>14237788
VNTS was something bigger, people even discuss translation quality and back up their points.
Nowadays nobody know jap so it's just blind pointing at blind.
>>14237792
I think people are just so desperate for translations of the "kamige" that they'll take anyone, really. From what he told me Kingshriek doesn't really even associate with the project anymore, so it's basically just those two and Moogy trolling it up. Commie has no credibility on the scene so I think Herkz is only getting away with it because the other two are still somehow respected names.
>>14237802
>VNTS was something bigger, people even discuss translation quality and back up their points.
Who the fuck cares? /jp/'s been saying for years anybody who reads translations is a shit-eating retard, all the people who actually want to discuss translated eroge are in /vg/, unless they want to hang out exclusively in /jp/ under the delusion that it makes them a better person.
This thread is basically nothing but shitposting about fuwanovel and showing off your l33t Japanese skills, and the latter got boring. Oh no. What a loss to civilization.
>>14237792
vvav hasn't talked in IRC in months and plays DOTA all day.
>>14237798
Yes, but I'm glad they're not letting that stop them.
>>14237818
I care because the thread WAS better.
It is not now.
But yeah, I guess I should just stick to the other VN threads on /jp/ and ignore this one.
>>14237816
wav is a respected name now ? since when ? the people from tlwiki are all cunts and i know that 4chan love to laugh at them ironically.
>>14237828
>I care because the thread WAS better.
It was always shit, unless you really like watching people edit the grammar of retards, in which case you should just hang out in DJT all day and watch people nitpick each other to your heart's content.
I mean, yes, there was a point in time where people actually did fan translations and organized in the loose vicinity of VNTS, but that ship sailed over three years ago and you picked a really fucking weird time to complain about it now.
>Kara no Shoujo hard-copy is now 4th on the weekly ranking of MG.
Wow I'm proud of you guys. Keep up the good work and maybe they will make a HC for Cartagra and KnS2.
>>14237089
Some people complained that with a flash sale they couldn't get the funds ready on such short notice, or didn't become aware of the sale until it was already over, so they suggested having sales that actually last awhile.
>>14237834
I don't know why he is respected, but he is, for some reason.
>>14237838
It's not a really weird time since the thread is getting worse, it's not even a slow decline anymore.
People don't even talk about fucking eroge here anymore, just random ass internet celebrities that haven't done shit in years.
>>14237838
Go back to /a/, /vg/ or whatever shithole you came from this summer already.
And this applies to all imbeciles incapable of writing more than one sentence per post as well.
>>14237167
I'm sure google translate-kun will give it his best shot.
>>14237844
i think it's because of his shitposting skill which impresse /jp/
>>14237838
He's complaining now because he's mega salty about Elf dying and seeing not enough people crying about it got him SUPER MAD.
>>14237645
I don't think they can do that since CLOCKUP is doing their own programming for that.
>>14237852
>Go back to /a/, /vg/ or whatever shithole you came from this summer already.
I got during a summer but it wasn't this one.
>And this applies to all imbeciles incapable of writing more than one sentence per post as well.
There are, in fact, two (2) sentences in that post.
>>>14237848
Yeah, this thread never had any dumb drama about moogy-sama-heika-dono in it ever, it was only ever 100% discussion of new releases and how much we (not you, since knowing Japanese you really don't give a shit) were looking forward to them.
>>14237862
>Yeah, this thread never talked about moogy-sama-heika-dono ever, it was always 100% discussion of new releases and how much we (not you - you, knowing Japanese, really don't give a shit) were looking forward to them.
A slippery slope. Moogy was influential back then, his team was worth talking about.
Nowadays he does jack shit except reviewing games while this thread talks about him more than back then, which is weird because as said, he does less than back then.
But yes, never mind, I don't think I have the patience to discuss how shit this thread is back and forth.
YOU FOOLS! Pay the proper respect to Elf or he'll call us shit!
>>14237778
>no one wants to learn jap and the jap speakers have left the thread
Not true. Some of us have stuck around for the shitposting.
>>14237903
Even worse.
Well, I wouldn't be no fucking fly that's attracted to shit.
Bye bye.
figland, pls go.
>>14237906
You said that last thread and you're still here, you fucking Elf freak. Just "kutabare" like they did.
>>14237840
Considering the volume of hardcopy sales, that means it's probably sold a whole two copies this week
>>14237844
vvav never was. He was a guy obsessed with losing his virginity and a incredibly depressed guy.
I miss him.
>>14237878
Moogy never did much of anything, what the fuck are you talking about, milf-autist?
>>14237915
Hello.
>>14237878
This guy isn't me but I'm super glad I have a fan.
>>14237989
He never did much, but the point remained that he did more than he does now, which is nothing. It's his team that was worth talking about and he was their spokesperson.
And no I'm not milf autist.
Sekai Project is apparently incompetent.

>>14238158
Me. Hello.
>>14238176
I know that, but what do you do that has caused people to remember your name?
>>14238166
This reminds me. Think if Japanese developers know about this, that will be less likely to agree to kickstarter, now that they know it can end in failure and embarrassment?
>>14238189
I think in the first place most of them have only agreed because they're confident it will succeed. The Witch Boy Kickstarter was like the only no-name one, and they were just cocky as fuck for some reason (I'm not sure why, why the fuck do they think their game is special? Binan is way better.)
>>14238183
I shitpost on IRC and sometimes scan things no one cares about. I don't post here much anymore.
>>14238228
I watched a friend play this and was literally laughing out loud at all the cliches. The game isn't even funny.
>>14238241
>I was literally laughing out loud
>The game isn't even funny
Okay Mr. Tsundere.
>>14238247
Okay, I was laughing when I wasn't supposed to be laughing.
Here's another good one from earlier.
>>14238255
What can I say? Toby's a master of humor.
>>14238200
They think they're special because apparently that game is helping gay people in Japan.

Don't just take my word for it - check out all the good things professional reviews are saying!
>>14238200
WEE and Lepidopetc were complete nonentities as well. They definitely saw that success and thought themselves invincible.
>>14238281
Yeah, that's pretty funny that the developer picked those quotes. The review scores are real though.
Reminder that KnS and Cartagra are now DRM free. It's quite possible that KnS 2 will be DRM free too but there's no confirmation yet.
Doddler, can you give confirmations about this?
Also, MG should say on twitter or even sticky a post on their forums informing which games are DRM free.
>>14238400
>Isuna Hasekura
>non-entity
I think you underestimate Spice and Wolf's popularity in the west.
Leopardwhatever I'll give you. I think that one got lucky by riding on WEE's success, since SP was getting a lot of attention at that time.
Man, I forgot WAS has some damn good VAs. I should play it, but how is it still not fucking out? This company...
>>14238432
KnS2 will have DRM (for now), but that could change down the road. I believe the Mac and Linux versions will be DRM-free from the get-go though.
>>14238432
Or just use the category tags on the games. They have one called "kemonomimi" for god's sake
>>14238438
No one really cares about WEE in the japanese VN community. It doesn't matter if the author was popular before, it was a random forgotten game.
>>14238438
They ran into issues with licensing the voices.
>>14238450
>No one really cares about WEE in the japanese VN community.
Which is totally relevant to a Kickstarter that was funded by the English community. (That was sarcasm. It is not relevant.)
Rokka no Yuusha's anime was popular as hell here despite not selling at all in Japan. These things happen. The point I'm making is, they knew their audience with WEE, it doesn't matter what Japan thought.
>>14238463
Considering past experience with Sekai Project, I have to wonder if they even asked before saying "HEY GUYS, WE HAVE RINA SATOU! HELL YEAH!"
>>14238477
Except it is? I'm very sure a Muramasa or Baldr Sky kickstarter would be funded in just a few days, because they're *known* titles. No one who cares about spice and wolf knew about WEE before sekai started to advertise it and opened the kickstarter. It was a irrelevant title that no one gave a shit about. Just because the author is famous isn't enough for a kickstarter to be succesful like WEE was.
>>14238493
That is because they used Spice and Wolf's name to advertise it. Of course Muramasa and Baldr Sky would be funded even faster. I'm just saying there's a reason why WEE's Kickstarter ended up doing well. It had a recognizable name attached to it.
>>14238463
Are you saying a company really launched a kickstarter that promised voices without actually securing the rights to them first? Anyone even remotely familiar with nip IP rights should know what a minefield it is.
Too excited for Sonicomi and Gore Screaming Show. The last few novels I've played were Clannad and Downhill Night about 5 years ago.
Sumaga when
>>14238879
After Muramasa for sure.
>>14238444
Thanks for answering. Regarding KnS and Cartagra, with the exception of the bundle, MG site lists these games as needing a internet connection for activation. If I re-download one of these games can I expect them to be DRM free or weren't these releases (as well as the website) updated yet?
>>14238876
Gore Screaming Show's patch will not be coming out any time soon (I'd like it to, but it won't). Don't get your hopes up too high.
That's ridiculous though. You really have not touched anything for that long, and one of the few things you did play was Downhill Night, of all things? And neither of them have very good translations...
Why don't you play the Kara no Shoujo series? You've missed out on the first two and the third one is coming out very soon. It's very good timing and you won't have to do any waiting.
>>14239016
Yeah, I know it's not coming out anytime soon, but I'm just excited it's being translated at all.
Yeah, it's been a long time since I've spent time in this neck of the woods/with this hobby. I've recently tore a ligament while skateboarding, and have surgery coming up on the third, so I'm going to have all the free time in the world to get back into the swing of things. I played Downhill Night because I always loved Initial D, but yeah it was pretty damn lackluster.
Kara no Shoujo, huh? I'll grab it. I haven't played many of these things so far. Saya No Uta, A Drug That Makes You Dream, Wanko To Kurasou, Discipline, Fate/Stay Night, and the other two I mentioned.
Thanks for the suggestion, anon. I want to play more since I'll have the time.
>>14239056
You gotta read some of the ones on the recommended list. Most of the ones you've read aren't that great.
>>14238959
I know it's been removed for the bundle, but I'm not positive what the status of the individual games is at the moment. I'll have to check when people get into the office in a few hours.

Yeah, you have at least read a few great ones, but it sounds sounds like you've got a lot ahead of you. The injury sounds unfortunate, but it's just as well, I guess.
Incidentally, Cartagra is the first game, so make sure to play that one first. It goes Cartagra, KnS, KnS2. I think the series will be right up your alley.
is shiny days patched yet
Why doesn't anyone translate this? It's not even that long. It's probably the most craziest 4th wall breaker I've read in awhile.
>>14239209
Because it's shit.
>>14239209
Why don't you translate it yourself?
>>14239229
Because he read it with Atlas, which is why he didn't mind the extra shitty writing.
>>14239209
Probably >>14239219
But I think the main reason is that only the best and most moving stuff gets translated since it's A LOT of work to do for free.
Meanwhile, I liked Totono, but the gimmick is up.
>watch clip of girl going 4D yandere and fucking shit up
>WOAH THIS IS PRETTY COOL!
>realize that's the high point of the entire story
Now do I really want to spend like 4+ hrs on a moe blob yandere VN with no action where you already know the best part?
I think not. Tsundere is infinitely better anyways (would read a VN if there is tsundere vs yandere).
>>14239125
10 months of healing and solitude. I'm not too worried, I'm just glad I'll be "normal" afterwards and will be able to walk and do sports again.
Cartagra first, got it. Thank you so much, anon I really appreciate it. I forgot how much I liked it here. Anything else you'd recommend based on my shit taste? Or just anything you really enjoyed?
>>14239233
The ending is pretty satisfying. Plus, the feeling of having a sentient game is pretty interesting in itself
>that 10 year dialogue.
Pretty sad if you ask me.
>>14239258
what if
>100 years since last played
What would it be?
>>14239242
Not everyone here is a fan of it, but I think Umineko is a really good mystery series, so I'd also recommend that. It does a lot of stuff with unreliable narration so there's a lot of opportunity to really put some thought into what happened and what the solution of the mystery could be.
Reading all the episodes is pretty long though so for some shorter titles, I also recommend Hanachirasu and Kikokugai. They're both some very solid action stories.

What went wrong?
>>14239433
This isnt't he tech support thread.
>>14239441
I know but I was hoping the others who have installed it could tell me what method they used to install the game so that it works with the patch.
>>14239496
Read the patch instructions and drop the .xp3 files in the right folder.
>>14239510
The patch didn't come with instructions, unfortunately. I'm assuming the xp3 files are to be copied into the game's main directory where it's .exe and other patch.xp3 files are, right?
>>14239521
No, it goes into savedata\patches. There should be instructions somewhere though.
>>14239537
I got three patch files and a folder for a Win8 patch. The Win8 patch has it's own individual readme.txt but nothing for the patches. And where is is savedata\patches supposed to be? Is that a folder I have to create myself?
>>14239558
Not the fucking tech support thread. Go to the place you got the fucking patch for help using it, you fucking idiot.
>>14239567
That thread died before I got a chance to install the patch. So is savedata supposed to be in the game folder or a ProgramData folder?
>>14239580
>that thread
Go to the people who made the patch, you retarded cocksucking shitstain.
>>14239593
Dude son, just answer my questions real quick if you have the answers.
>>14239601
Then you will continue treating this thread like your personal shitpost area instead of going to place where you should be.
>>14239293
Sounds good, I remember Umineko getting a shitload of threads back then. I'll check out Hanachirasu and Kikokugai as well. Thank you again, anon. Sorry to ask to be spoonfed, but I believe in you and your taste.
>>14239388
Thanks! I'm going to work on some titles on this list. Always wanted to try Higurashi as well.
>>14239580
Stop being such a fucking faggot and like >>14239593 said, go to where you got the patch and ask there.
>>14239614
Then stop responding if you're going to be a dick about it. The thread wouldn't be filled with shit if you didn't keep responding with deliberately vague answers.
>>14239620
Or you guys could just post a screenshot of your installation folders real quick.
>>14239629
Let's recap what you did. Instead of going to the site who created the patch, complete with instructions of how to use it, you lazily downloaded it from someone who rehosted it, and have now come here to a THIRD place to bitch that it doesn't work.
Go fucking somewhere else, you shit eating faggot.

The game never made a savedata folder on my system. Only a patches folder in my Documents folder.

The additional voices hadn't been recorded yet and one of the delays was that the VAs they wanted were busy with anime. I'm not sure if the issue is with the old voicework or if the new work cost more than they thought.

No problem, I think "spoonfeeding" is silly to be concerned about in this context anyway.

http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Winged%20Cloud
Over here.
I wonder if this means Winged Cloud is just self-publishing now. That would be hilarious if Sekai Project lost yet another asset because WC realized they can do it on their own and make tons of money. Cut out the middle man.
I don't know whether to take it that way though because indie devs can be very misleading about the publisher for various scummy reasons.
>>14239901
Aroduc was doing that last time I checked, what happened?
>>14240550
He's incompetent.
>>14240364
Sekai Project's problem is they quickly become irrelevant as a publisher to the original developers. They don't handle any meaningful amount of distribution themselves, as they have no large platform for selling titles, they just put titles on Steam. Currently if you go to Sekai Project and click "Shop", you see a single T-shirt, while Denpasoft has been mostly neglected to date and hasn't got any traction. Additionally, for Japanese titles much of the localization work is contracted out, while for OELVNs they often just throw their name on it and put it on Steam. This leaves Sekai Project is, in most cases, helping newcomers to get started, selling their brand name, and setting up kickstarters (which still requires significant input from the original companies). Once a company no longer requires those services, there is no reason not to cut Sekai Project out.
>>14240582
I wonder how Dovac feels about this. Knowing him he probably did not even think of this potential issue.
>>14240582
Well, getting games onto Steam isn't trivial I guess. Seems like associating with SP and getting promoted by them helps. Most people don't think it's a bad brand.
>>14240600
Yes, they surely offer a huge amount of help initially, but once the original developer has some traction, they no longer need Sekai Project's for getting onto Steam, or general publicity, depriving Sekai Project from being able to cash in on the future success of the efforts they help get off the ground.
>>14240364
Winged Cloud has 11K per month on Patreon. Use some of those funds to pay back the kickstarter, you pieces of shit.

Amane's route is still majority a flashback. The sex scenes are pretty loaded upfront, but removing them doesn't really impact the story if you know they're happening and they're fade to blacks.

According to their kickstarter page they already did.

If any of the MG staff are here, what are your plans with the SonoHana series?
I know the first 9 of the main series games have already been fan TLed, and you started with a Miya/Risa game, which is actually a good place to start. What about the 10th game, Lily Platinum? It was never fan TLed at all, so unless MG releases the games before Miya/Risa, that will be a gap in the series. I can see issues potential licensing issues with games 7 and 9, since they have an obviously underage girl dating her teacher.
For those of you who were asking about the DRM status of KnS and Cartagra outside of the bundle––yes, they should both be DRM free shortly. The bundle was a new item so it just got taken care of first. KnS should be done and Cartagra is being reuploaded now I believe (The note about requiring an internet connection to activate the product should be removed from the product page when they DRM-free builds are uploaded). If you already bought either of them, you'll be able to redownload from your account page to get the DRM-free version.
>>14241346
None of us can really comment on stuff like this prior to official announcements, so there's not much I can say other than that we are paying attention to what fans are saying/etc.
I wish Mangagamer would release Himawari back on Vita where it came from. With Steins;Gate selling pretty decently, Muv Luv saying "no risk" for physical due to S;G sales, and Grisaia soon, it seems like a good platform, where people are more willing to buy games than pirate them.
>>14241559
Sony has completely abandoned the Vita, and I expect within a year everyone else will too. Damn shame.
>>14241618
Well, Sony NA/EU hasn't done much the console in years.
Third party devs will still put out localizations and people are buying them. The point is that the Vita has an audience that would be more inclined to buy VNs anyway. I think S;G on consoles did pretty decently (considering the cost is just a port) and there seems to be a good amount of Vita backers on the Muv Luv kickstarter right now.
>>14241618
I don't know why they even bothered with the Vita. PSP was great too, but Sony literally repeated history and fucking ignored the handheld they made. Just, WHY?
>>14241663
Well, the Vita is still fairly successful in Japan, although of course it doesn't have that huge mainstream appeal of the 3DS.
A PSP successor absolutely had to be made. It became an unviable platform with how trivial piracy was.
>>14241536
Thanks for the update on the releases.
Keep up the good work.

Make a SonoHana bundle with the first 10 games in it for $50.
>>14241663
In an interview a Sony rep said that it doesn't intend to make another portable console after the Vita, so it looks like they're abandoning the handheld market.
>>14242402
Source on this? I wouldn't be surprised but I haven't seen such an interview.
>>14242351
Yeah, I think that is a big problem with western VAs, especially these days. Most of them just do not give a single fuck about their work. Meanwhile you've got Hanae who's like "Holy shit I love this game, I can't believe I'm actually getting to do a voice for it." And he's straight up one of the top VAs in Japan right now, so for this dude to feel honored by it just goes to show how much they value their work.
>>14242365
>Make a SonoHana bundle with the first 10 games in it for $50.
At least $100 and sell each game at least $15 each. Any less than this is a huge steal and doesn't follow the policy MG uses for pricing other games.

>>14242471
9 of the 10 games are already fantranslated, so getting people to pay $100 for them is kind of a stretch. They're also all basically kinetic novels. Sure there are choices, but all they do is prematurely end the game, there are no alternate paths or dialogue.
>>14242351
>>14242477

>>14241536
Oiran Rouge when?
>>14242532
SonoHana games are about the same length of Sweet Sweat and some other nukige MG has released so far. $15 for a commercial release of a SonoHana game is a good price.
Also, $100 for 10 games is quite cheap regardless of a fan-translation existing or not. I don't believe that MG shouldn't make the games cheaper just because they had a fan-translation.
>>14242600
>shouldn't
Damn phone. It's "should"
>>14237646
Shall we create a thread for reactions?
>>14242471
You need to play all ten of the games for Maidens of Michael to make sense, so pricing them too high could prevent the series from taking off. MG also chose to start with RHWM, which likely means they're prioritizing the not currently translated games.
Even though a Lily Platinum patch hasn't been released, the majority of its translated script can be found and read online. Trying to sell the old games at a higher price likely won't work when they can read all ten for free right now.
>>14242570
Apparently Aroduc's never heard of Oiran Rouge.
>>14242631
>You need to play all ten of the games for Maidens of Michael to make sense, so pricing them too high could prevent the series from taking off.
In this case, wouldn't individual commercial releases (with a bundle when all individual games are released) work better? MG could try to release a game each month or each two months. I suppose this would help in regards of more people buying the games and potentially further increasing the reputation of the series.
>MG also chose to start with RHWM, which likely means they're prioritizing the not currently translated games.
Makes sense. I suppose fans wouldn't want MG to start the partnership by releasing games that already have a fan-translation.
>Trying to sell the old games at a higher price likely won't work when they can read all ten for free right now.
I never bought the japanese version of the SonoHana games I played so far. As someone who likes the series, I'm more than williing to show my support to these games even if they don't get a lower price (because of the fan-translation) due to the fact that I never supported the developer when I originally played the game. I'm aware some people disagree with this line of thought but this is how I currently feel toward localization of already existing fan-translations. However, I do not agree to localizations similar to what SP is doing with G-Senjou (no adult version) so I won't give my support to such release.
With how MG's hesitant to release more than one game per month I worry about how things will turn out for the SonoHana series.
>>14242626
I like how the dyslexic editor read four as forty.
>>14242747
They've released cheap games on top of full games before, they just won't do 2 full length games in one month. The Hentai Industries and Ame no Murakumo brands have had games released the same month as other games. So if the SonoHana games aren't over $15, then I can see them doing the same thing.
>>14242631
As a fan of the series, I'm well aware it's a niche of a niche. As such I'm happy pay $30+ per game to show support. I get the feeling the fan translators are also pretty passionate about the series, MG getting the translations for cheap or even free doesn't seem that unreasonable (and most aren't that long anyway).
Obviously you're right in general, MG have spoken before about how games with fan patches straight up sell worse. Still, I hope they bring them out in order, maybe bundles of 2-3 games at a time.
>>14242547
Not working is the best job, after all.
>>14242937
They could do 5 bundles, one for each couple. Not everyone is a fan of all of the couples.
Damn Oiran Rouge art is gorgeous, i didn't know that Maybe was in the VN industry too.
