So I just learned this sold 30k in the first week.
What the hell? Isn't that crazy good for a short novel like that?
Anybody knows what was the final number?
steam is great exposure.
>>14409489
Want to see another great exposure? *unzips pants*
>>14409407
because catgirls sell
>>14409656
Vol.2 comes out next month right?
To be honest the prequel volume was more fun. They are much better when they are hanging out with that loli than with the boring baker dude.
>>14409489
I'm glad for Sayori. She's a good artist. And she designs the best catgirls. Vanilla is perfection.
A bunch of e-celebs played it. Free publicity.
I really hate that they went with a generic dude MC. These girls deserve better.
>>14409707
Yeah, there's a shitload of kids out there that manage to not have the attention span to even read video game reviews, so an e-celeb covering anything like this is a huge deal.
Fuck, there's a fair amount of them that don't even play games any more but watch people playing them on youtube or twitch instead.
I realize every generation hates the generations after it, but jesus christ how do you not have the patience or will power to play a VIDEO GAME?

>120 000 owners
You've got to be fucking kidding...
120k people paid for it on Steam alone? What the shit?
>>14409902
Should I remind you that the people on steam also greatly bought shit like Goat Simulator?
The normies are stupid but heh, you can make easy money if you pander to those idiots.
>>14409914
Well, at least I'm glad that the cute chink pervert made a lot of money thanks to them.
>>14409902
quite a few popular e-celebs bought it. which by extension means quite a few easily-influenced kids and teens bought it as well.
I sorta doubt more than 20k played it for more than 10 minutes.
>>14409929
Average play time seems pretty high.
Is sayori cute IRL?
>>14410351
Of course.
>>14410397
>How artists depict themselves
How artists actually look
>>14409407
>>14409857
And remember that all the ero stuff is cut off!
>>14409689
>She's a good artist.
Her art is generic as fuck. It's not terrible, but still nothing to write home about. Just adding cat ears and a bunch of ribbons does not make your art stand out from the rest.
>>14410741
Maybe but look at what it's up against. Most of the VNs and such on Steam are either super old so the art is kinda shitty or it's done by an artist who can barely draw and colour. The cat girls in Nekopara actually look good, even if they're generic as you say. It has been on sale a few times, many big names on Twitch and such have played it "for the lulz" and the 18+ content is extremely easy to enable so it's not really any surprise that it sold decently well on Steam.
>>14409856
Simple.
Youtube videos and live videos are spontaneous and passive.
Video games require a commitment.
>>14410482
Well, Sayori did get married a while back, so there was someone out there for her, unlike most of you.
>>14410690
I'd like to see the statistics on how many people patched it. I'd be willing to bet at least half, if not more.
>>14410741
>a bunch of ribbons
Jesus Christ, don't tell that to Tinkle.
>>14410741
>generic
Who cares? It looks good. Her girls are hot as fuck and she draws some nice fashion.
>>14411773
Generic means average, boring in this case. Looks flat with the same plastic shading all the dime-a-dozen artists use. I'll give you the fashion part.
yeah sure its a pretty generic nukige but it has nice art and enjoyable characters atleast.
The best thing about it is that it releases in runes and english on the same day.
>>14410397
Still rocking a CRT, huh.
Is that something artists do for color accuracy or something?
>>14412265
no poverty
>>14412265
Sometimes. Gamers also use it for good refresh rates and color accuracy.
Judging by the Windows XP, though, its probably an old machine.
>>14409689
>She's a good artist
Not really. The design itself isn't anything special, she's just polished her generic designs to a near mirror shine.
>>14411683
Tinkle
God I love her lolis. When is she going to return to eroge? Even Kantoku does porn.
Also where the hell is Emily? Did she die?
>>14409407
Steam + weeaboos with not taste will buy literally anything Japanese that comes on eaily accessible places like shitty cons full bootlegs and as said Steam.
Because it was hot. If you downloaded a patch which added the real content, of course.
>>14414452
Or, you know, bought it anywhere other than Steam?
>>14409407
Sonyfriends will tell you different but steam made pc plattform explode once again and this time worldwide for all games.
Has Sayori said anything about the sales? I imagine it was a bit of a shock.
Also, with the apparent success of Clannad on Steam, I wonder if that fuckbag Takahiro "play your own games" Baba will admit he was wrong about VN sales in the West.
>>14415447
I'm pretty sure she commented the crazy good sales on her twitter.
