>Stuff like this has been either added or updated since the last thread
The number of evangile wallscroll bundles has decreased from 23 to ... 22, and it has remained at the second spot on hardcopy sales chart. Additionally there is literally no number five on the hardcopy sales chart which is peculiar. Perhaps literally only 4-5 hardcopies sold this week?
If you're considering purchasing one of mangagamer's older titles, I would advise you to consider waiting a couple weeks. If the past is any indication, there is likely to be a valentines day sale of some manner.

> Seinarukana- in preorder
How long did Yumina stay in the 'preorder' phase, out of curiousity?
>>14692911
You could preorder the game pretty soon after they announced it so that would make it literally years.
>>14692751
Place your bets. What's going to enter preorder after Haruka?
Tokyo Babel is looking likely, or could Himawari endter as surprise?
Or maybe My Boss' Wife, for something that nobody cares for?
>>14693262
Well, the PC version of Himawari is releasing next week in Japan, so they've finished porting it from the Vita, so it's a good bet for March.
Then again, a cheap nukige could be a good break from the heavier titles of Haruka and Yurirei.
>>14693262
I won't be surprised if Boss' Wife ends up mid March with Supipara being the end, or vice versa.
>>14693262
himawari's coming out in japan this week so I doubt it'll be that quick.
anime boston is march 25-27th. I wouldn't be surprised to see supipara 1 go up for preorder or come around then so mangagamer can try to get it extra exposure through the con news reports
>>14693262
Himawari is nowhere near. MG side didn't even receive revised PC scripts, and after that translators will have to merge them with stuff they have and re-translate differences, and then send back scripts to frontwing for building eng version, then beta-test it, then send list of stuff to fix to frontwing for another build and so on.
It could easily take 3-6 months to do.

>You should see the kinds of reviews Gahkthun’s been getting “wow this game is so bad and dumb for <intentional stylistic thing>”
Gahkthun sales were average at best. This makes it clear that the english market isn't ready to support these kinds of VNs, specially when they're written in a style that most of the fanbase can't understand and therefore, those that review it usually don't really make a very positive review.
Also, there wasn't much discussion about Gahkthun and this doesn't help at all its sales. If it was a moege I'm sure there would be more discussion...
>>14693444
Well, to be honest Sakurai steam punk and Liar-Soft games aren't that popular in Japan either.
It's kind of interesting to see how nowadays the major parts of the projects are from official studios, I would've never thought they would last so much, let alone start releasing so many novels.
On the other hand it's sad fantranslations are dead.
Not only is BB2 a much worse game than 1, its translation is also a lot worse than the first one's. That's a big deal, considering Aroduc is not that good in the first place.
60 days left.

>>14693759
I guess she puts effort into her job in order to search them out, because I haven't seen any gahkthun reviews
>>14693759
Unless these "reviews" are posts on /vn/.
>Sometimes I wonder what the point of doing a good job is. Why even bother when doing a shit job & lying/cheating would get you further?
I see the Sekai Project method is gaining traction.
https://twitter.com/Good_Haro/status/693256232308703232
>>14693793
Posts on /vn/ about Gakhthun are made by one russian retard, who was bragging on russian board how he "trolled" /vn/ with "otome shit" "meme".
Not something one should consider as public opinion.
>>14693793
No it wasn't /vn/ they were actual reviews. It's not like /vn/ has discussed anything of substance about Gahkthun anyway, it's all "is this an otome game? lel".
I don't really care if people criticize games or dislike them, I just find it frustrating when the critiques are based on some fundamental misunderstanding or are, for lack of a better way to put it, "really dumb". I'd really like to read some thoughtful negative critiques of VNs to be honest.
>>14693812
I've seen different posts warn people about it being repetitive. And there have been posts about people being 2 or so chapters in and wondering when it gets good. People think Tesla helping some of the students were "filler" chapters.
>>14693568
Examples?
>>14693444
Most people play vns for fun/fap and waifu-shitposting. I don't really know why someone unironically would waste their time reading that pretentious garbage with otome-style art unless you're literally braindead manchild like moogy and his gang. Read actual books for stories instead of fucking chinese porn games.
>>14693826
>I'd really like to read some thoughtful negative critiques of VNs to be honest.
As it's a niche medium, I don't this is possible due to the self-selection among the readership. You will either end up with people that enjoy a title(or atleast don't hate it), or people that are retarded and were stupid enough to select a title that wouldn't be to their tastes on accident.
>>14693444
They should've advertise it as "Buy Gahkthun now and get Oiran Rouge later!".
>>14693759
Although, I wonder which piece of shit VN reviewer reviewed it without playing the whole thing.
>>14693826
I think you are looking at the wrong reviewers. Maybe not here, but i'm pretty sure the average VN reader is looking for something that light hearted with only drama at the end of a route. Which is why something like Princess Evangile was such a big hit.
Where are you even finding these reviews? I did a little search and the top 5 review from google are all pretty positive. Even reddit seems to like it a lot
>>14693463
I'm curious about this now. Do you have any sales figures for her games?
>>14694027
It's mostly stuff we get back after sending out review copies. We got like three in a row with a fairly high numeric score but the entire text of the review would be like "this was boring and repetitive and stupid". It's just kind of grating.
>>14694036
There are sales ratings available from various shops. For Gahkthun on getchu, for example:
http://www.getchu.com/pc/salesranking201212.html
>>14694046
>a fairly high numeric score
>the entire text of the review would be like "this was boring and repetitive and stupid"
mangagamer confirmed for triple A publisher
>>14693832
I haven't been saving the errors, and I'm not going to replay the kusoge just to make screenshots.
The only thing I can give you is an obvious typo from the end of the game, which proves lack of QC.
>>14694062
But MangaGamer doesn't have enough money to pay off "reviewers" for those good scores.
>>14694062
I wish.
Anyway, my point with bringing any of that up in that Twitter conversation was just that it's not only EVNs that get shitty reviews.
>>14694068
>it's not only EVNs that get shitty reviews
Those EVNs deserve it.
>>14694066
The first game, combat was literally broken.
It doesn't get much worse QC than that.
>>14694066
Jesus christ, its time for you to grow up and get over your shitty akame ga shit anime.
>>14694047
Thank you. I expect worse but 12th ain't so bad. Now on the subject of bad, I can't believe this was released in 2012. The characters themselves look nice but the gameplay looks like garbage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzvFrMGnSaY
>>14694077
I am talking about text now, not about how Aroduc breaks the games.
>>14694081
12 of MONTHLY is very bad.
If you look at year/half-year rankings for 2012, its not present in list at all, because its below cutoff point.
>>14694081
The gameplay is passable: rock-paper-scissors with some abilities at first, but then turns into a mediocre RTS.
>>14694083
You're not giving many examples of either, so I thought I'd give you a benchmark.
>>14694090
Oh. I just saw it being on a list of 30 and assumed it did better than it did. Interesting that it couldn't even make the half year rankings.
>>14694110
I'm sure someone will start posting them soon enough.
If you want to see them right now, go on seiha forums, to the thread where people report TL errors.
>>14694026
I could see Teito Hiten Daisakusen or Shiei no Sona-Nyl -What a Beautiful Memories- being their next game.
>>14694009
Get Aroduc to do it. He hates everything.
http://tenka.seiha.org/2015/02/brain-damage-and-haphazard-boners/
>>14694068
While not applicable to gahkthun, perhaps you might consider suggesting a recommended route when you provide review keys? Given how most VNs tend to have some routes that are more story-heavy than others, if reviewers aren't going to play the whole game anyway, they might as well be sent down a catered route.
For those reviewers that actually bother to play beyond common routes, at least.
>>14694174
Read his Beat Blades Haruka review. He sounds like a different person.
>>14694254
BBH was when he first started blogging and before he really began translating in earnest and turned bitter and hateful.
>>14694201
I remember a review of Armored Warrior Iris where the reviewer thought the entire game was too hardcore for him, but by the sound it, he only did one playthrough, and likely didn't get the true ending. On top of that, some of the scenes, like Bunix, were tamer and he likely didn't see those.
>>14694254
2008 vs 2015
>>14694066
so why where you playing it when the TL was that awful? Are you a masochist?
>>14694162
Sona-Nyl is by far the hardest Liar Soft title (not counting raiL stuff) so I imagine they're more likely to retranslate Inganock or something like that.
>>14694375
Hiragumo-chan -Sengoku Gekokujou Monogatari-
Teito Hiten Daisakusen
Fairytale Requiem
Take your pick.
>>14694375
>retranslate Inganock
Unless there's a version that they can put on Steam, then that's not likely to happen.
what happened to rance quest?
>>14694422
All Rance translations are on hold. Alicesoft wants to see how well Beat Blades Haruka does first, before deciding what (if anything) to license to MG next.
Free Friends 2 is a pretty good nukige. Only thing is the music which it's kinda out of place at times. Besides that, it's a good fap.
>>14694472
I played 1 and didn't really care for it. I've heard that 2 is more popular though.
>>14694122
I did. For every one actual error, there were about ten people who can't follow installation instructions.
And of the errors, almost all are relatively minor gameplay things. If XSeed/NISA/T-K games had only that many errors, it'd be a miracle.
help social media root double: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/37185-let-s-kickstart-root-double
>>14694775
Unnecessary, they'll manage, barely. And that's all they deserve, if that. Terribly kickstarted project with lackluster reward tiers (somewhat rectified with recent updates) by a company that hasn't finished a lot of their previous kickstarted projects yet.
>>14694775
Sekai should just start an alias and make kickstarters because their current brand is ruined.
>>14694794
They don't deserve that, and they'll only make it because they seeded the fuck out of their project with $10-20k in mysterious thousand dollar+ pledges in the middle of nowhere on announcing nothing.
>>14694799
It would be fantastic if, like every single one of their other projects so far, they missed the one month deadline for release they have for this. Maybe that'd finally get it across to the peasants how big a fuckup they are and how all they can do correctly is prey on already completed projects and add problems to them.
>>14694794
every little bit helps, no? doesnt cost a thing to tweet
>>14694865
Just your dignity and morals.
>>14694865
I think you'll find that this thread, and 4chan in general, has little love for sekai project. This is something that tends to happen when the CEO of the company tells you to your face that he doesn't give a shit about what you want, as you aren't his audience.
I understand you're desperate to shill a floundering kickstarter that you support, but to shill here is a fool's errand. In fact, the harder you do so, the more you risk upsetting the more autistic inhabitants into concocting newer and stupider ways to attempt to sabotage it.
>>14694905
>>14694891
>deleting and reposting because of a small typo
You sure you ain't one of those "more autistic inhabitants"?
>>14694794
The Kickstarter is probably going to break 150k, it's not going to barely make it.
>>14694852
They probably will miss March, but the PC digital game is basically finished already and will come out soon enough. It's the suckers backing for physical rewards or Vita ports that I feel bad for as SP always fucks those up.
>>14695038
Who are you quoting, friend?
>>14695066
Stop with this meme.
>>14695038
no u
>>14695064
They've got a year before they need to start making excuses for that.
>>14694162
More like Gathkun is the last Liar-soft title you will see in MG catalog. Same thing for KnS2 and InnoGrey. Fuck. Now i'm pretty sure i'll never be able to read Caucasus.
>>14695070
I will when you stop misusing the quote function.
>>14695064
In a year they'll announce that they couldn't make Vita happen after all and offer whatever minuscule portion of the Vita pledge tiers the Vita version accounts for as partial refunds (consider that there's no Vita-only tier or Vita addon)
They've just been using it as bait to get people to pledge to higher tiers
>>14695091
Gahkthun can't be the last Liar-soft title from MangaGamer, another one is coming in a few weeks, despite Doddler's attempts to sabotage it,
>>14695129
Doddler killed Yuritopia and you know it anon.
>>14695127
That they're claiming it costs $0 for a year of extra development to create that port should be a red flag, but peasants are fucking retarded.
>>14695091
It depends on if those two titles sell long-term or not. If memory serves, KnS 1 didn't sell that well on release, but after half a year or so it did pretty well.
>>14695136
But he saved Baldr Sky, so it balances out.
>>14695144
To be honest it's not really a bad thing if i can trade Yurirei for Baldr Sky.
RD seems to be pretty desperate to add a ''''new'''' tier that costs 1 dollar extra if you're smart with add-ons. Pretty scummy
>>14695211
Any time someone deliberately obfuscates a 'deal' using your money, something shady is up.
>>14695222
I wonder if Sam is this >>14694775 dumbfuck.
>>14695222
Sekai Project's next kickstarter will have a tier where you get 25% of the pledge of anybody you convince to pledge, completing their evolution to internet scam.
>>14695138
But it is 0$ from this kickstarter. Next kickstarter will be used to fund the vita. It is the whole point of begging for money, you can fulfill last projects goals with the new money.
>>14694162
>>14694397
It's not like any of those would sell much better than Gahkthun.
(Also, if MG does license Teito Hiten, I feel really bad for whoever has to translate Mareni's chapters.)
>>14695540
Eh, if people primarily got bothered by repetition in Gahkthun, then I see little reason to assume the same issue will happen with something like Fairy Tale Requiem or Teito Hiten. Hiragumo requires a bit of historical knowledge to fully enjoy though so there's that.
Apparently Aroduc's translating Utawarerumono 2.
Do you think people that are not into yuri would like yuri ghosts if they gave it a chance?
>>14696089
It doesn't sound like the translation is going to turn out very well, so probably not, considering the garbage production values and lack of real ero.
>>14696089
I think so. It's a cute game.
>>14696089
Yes, its pretty good school comedy/slice. Ero there is insignificant, so "yuri" factor doesn't matter that much.
>>14696104
dovac, pls.
>>14696126
And it'll actually get some exposure from being on Steam.
>>14695144
source? since when did mg have a deal with giga?
>>14696048
but its terrible. anyone watching the anime would know that
>>14696089
sure why not, I'd give it a shot. even though it would be kinda hard to self-insert
>>14696660
The idea of Yurirei isn't really to self insert. Yuna is pretty defined character, so point is to see the story of lesbian ghosts wanting to pair up girls, rather than place yourself in the shoes of the one hooking up girls.
I regret this already. Fuck you, Maria.
>>14696948
I might take the plunge myself soon. And maybe Phantom Carpet Munchers too since it's Liar-soft.
People have always been irritated by Liar-Soft's repetition. Don't know why people are suddenly getting annoyed with it when the criticism is aimed at Gahkthun as opposed to Sharnoth.
>>14697144
Sakurai's steam punk games != liar-soft. Liar-soft has titles from different writers with entirely different writing styles and Sakurai is continuing her series independently from liar-soft now.
>>14697160

>>14697191
Having penis is not a problem for true fan.
So Degica's finally going to admit that they're localizing Schwarzesmarken.
>>14693812
poshel nahui, suka
>>14697281
I hope it's just as machine translated as half the other 'bonus' shit they're using.
It's so weird how every day for the past week, Root Double's daily funding has been a consistent trickle up to around $2-3k through the day, until evening Pacific time when they get multiple multi-thousand dollar backers to push them up to around $10k, every single time.
And Dovac and his cronies are in California.
What a funny coincidence that is.
>>14697317
Weak conspiracy theory is weak. Sekai fixed their kickstarter and was rewarded.
>>14697425
Sorry, Dovac, but that doesn't explain how you keep getting $4-5000 from 3-4 people in the waning hours of every day for a week.
>>14697281
does anyone even want that though? animes kinda crap so far
>>14697438
i dont particularly care what they are doing. if they succeed we get a game out of it, if they dont we might get it anyway.
>>14697484
It's probably the most sensible thing for ixtl/age to want localized next. It's new, has an anime, and people will buy it because it has the Muv Luv name on it.
>>14697438
You mean why do Americans supply the most money to an American focused funding platform? Top analysis, genius.
>>14696875
I can self insert as an invisible voyeur watching all of this take place then.
dovac forgot to drop today's part.
With natural rate down back to 2k$/day, its going to be interesting final race. With usual 2x increase during last 3 days, its going to be 14k$, bringing them exactly to goal number.
How come there's no rewards fulfilling in planned budget? Will all these mugs, t-shirts, collector boxes and so on materialize out of thin air?
>>14697555
Same as Vita port.
>>14697555
Those expenses will be tacked on to the Aokana kickstarter.
>>14697545
They're going to sail past 150k, there won't be anything interesting to see.
>>14697555
That will be taken out of Lemnisca money.
>>14697584
Even with +2 +4 +4 +8 (best possible progression unless dovac dumps his funds into it) they will barely make it to 140. 150 is certainly out of question.
>>14696948
>>14692751
2K sales in four days is pretty good, right?
>>14697584
They still won't hit any of the stretch goals, and Libra did better than it. Considering how famous and wellregarded Root Double is, that's pretty embarrassing. The devs could've got more money by just cutting Sekai out of the deal altogether.
>>14697597
KS final surges are stronger than that, even Narcissu did 10k in the final day over 23k in the last 3.
>>14697618
They made less than 1000 sales in whole January of 2014. So yes, its about 60 times better than what it was 2 years ago.
>>14697622
In RD's case, people might just wait for the game to come out in March. It'll hit its base goal, but after that I don't see it getting a ton more money.
>>14697619
Yeah, the steps they had to take to get this funded after a similar situation with Narcissu and Witch Boy's failure do paint a pretty grim picture of SP's future on Kickstarter.
>>14697622
Final surges are about 2x increase on day-3, and then futher 2x on last day.
With only 2k they managed to get yesterday, they aren't going to get much in last days, unless they introduce some new super-amazing tiers.
Looks like dovac want to give Kindred Spirits a run for its money. They're releasing Sacrament Sheep on Feb. 5th and might release Atom Grrrl in February too.
>>14697733
there's also nekopara 2.... how much jew gold is he getting this month
>>14697809
How well could Sacrament Sheep sell, since it's not going on Steam? And Atom Grrrl is going to be on Steam, but the game looks ridiculous, and most likely won't get an uncensor patch.
>>14697733
Well I guess I have to buy Kindred Spirits now.
>>14697618
It is important to keep in mind that there are 10250 potential orders since the 15th that are from the groupees bundle. The primary problem is that it's impossible to know how many of these have been redeemed. Judging by past bundles, people tend to keep redeeming keys for up to three weeks after the fact.
It's going to be very hard to nail down a guess for haruka's sales(yurirei's sales on mangagamer are less important to account for, as there is steam and steamspy, 90% of people will redeem the free steam key), but I believe the best way to do so will be to wait another few weeks, sum up the total sales that happened over the course of the bundle, remove the maximum potential sales of the bundle, and then use the popularity sort to make an assumption of what the top five really looked like during this time(thankfully there hasn't been any big sales or releases aside from yurirei and haruka so this should be more or less possible), and then proceed as usual. Of course, this guess will have a greater potential of being off then usual.
Of course I also hear the huniepop sequel could release soon. If that happens, it'll throw a wrench into the process.
>>14694433
what is the reasoning behind this "buy this game that no one asked for to prove that you want the games that everyone has been wanting" shit that jap companies love to pull?
>>14697995
>this game no one asked for
>alicesoft's most popular and top selling game
I mean... you can think that if you really want, but you'd be wrong.
>>14698005
how many people wanted haruka over rance or even daiteikoku?
>>14698031
Problem is the choice wasn't 'Haruka or Rance', it was 'Haruka or nothing'.
>>14697995
brand loyalty is pretty big in japan
it's just how they're used to work and think
Danganronpa's Steam release date is February 18th.
https://twitter.com/SpikeChunsoft_e/status/694068885406949376
>>14698197
This februrary is going to be golden month of en-translated VNs.
>>14698031
Me. Rance is shit.
>>14698434
After Haruka I want Escalayer remake. I don't really see much appeal on Rance games.
>>14698031
I'm fine with Haruka, Rance might be Alicesoft's flagship series, but they have other good games and Haruka is one of them.
>>14698204
I'm going to wait to see if the PC port isn't buggy before jumping in on Danganronpa.
>>14698581
>>14698434
No one asked you, gaylords.

TIME FOR SHATTERED DREAMS
I like that they used better Comko, rather than the titty-monster.
>>14699248
Participated. Told them I only buy VNs in Japanese and than I have no licencing suggestions.
Hope it help!
>>14699320
Did you also tell them you were an "Other" gender?
>>14698005
Haruka is neither Alicesoft's most popular or it's top selling game.
That's Sengoku Rance. With Kichikuou second.
>>14698031
Rance VI is objectively better than Haruka.
Haruka completely shits all over Daiteikoku in every single way
>>14698031
Too old so i'll never happen but I want Daiakuji.
>>14699248
I can't believe I had to pick other to be able to fill in that I pick games based on no censorship. Come on MG. By now you should know that is a common factor in sales.
>>14699346
MG killed off any chance of Daiakuji or Atlach barring a remake
>>14699248
What are your licence suggestions? I went with Bishoujo Mangekyou, Boku to Koi Suru Ponkotsu Akuma and Silverio Vendetta.
>>14699248
Shilled Liar-Soft as hard as I possibly could.
>>14699370
>Bishoujo Mangekyou
I picked that last time, and where did that get us?
I'll pick it again, of course.
>>14699248
>>14699370
Aiyoku no Eustia, White Album 2 and Caucasus.
But we all know that the poll will be full of stupid answers like Fate Stay Night or Dies Irae so it's not like the poll will change anything in MG policy.
>>14699370
OreTsuba, Sanshinkan, Baldr Sky.
For that MG survey lets all go with Venus Blood and Liar-Soft
>>14699398
I'll read the recommendations for the laughs...just like last year.
>>14699370
Galzoo island, Evenicle, bunny black 3
>>14699324
>No write-in
Mangagamer's missing out on valuable demographic information. How will they know how to appeal to those of us who identify as attack helicopters?
>>14699436
>bunny black 3
Retard.
>>14699370
Otoboku 2 as all other times they ask. I also suggested games nobody else would suggest, so I'm not really holding my breath there.
>>14699442
>As for BB3 in the future… even post-behemoth, I wouldn't hold my breath for a number of reasons.
>I have, however, been told that MG and SHChara have been in touch with each other and they're not totally against it, but not now. Not soon. Not next month. I wouldn't even put bets on this year. But that is a possibility I've heard rumblings of in the future. The point is, until that issue is solved, I'm not going to lift a finger to work on it.
>>14699370
It's hard to make a choice between story titles and nukige. If only they made two type of suggestions.
>>14699398
why is dies irae a stupid answer
>>14699485
Because Irae dies.
>>14699485
Because most of the time it's just for the meme which say that it's impossible to translate Dies Irae in english and this meme is getting old.
>>14699370
A man after my own heart.
>>14699248
Please remember to suggest using Comko for future announcements.
>>14699248
Can't wait to see FSN, Umineko, G-senjou and Ever17 in the top 5.
>>14699521
But FSN is not licensed.
>>14699526
They'd want a million dollars to license it, since Fate is so famous. It's not viable in the current vn market. MG can't get the rights to the all-ages version of OreTsuba and without it, it's likely not going to happen either. White Album 2 and the Baldr games were on a list that dovac said were impossible to license for some reason.
>>14699370
Gunjou no Sora o Koete, Harumade, Kururu, Natsukumo Yururu.
>>14699526
It's already translated since 2008 you dumb fuck. The goal of this poll is to promote new titles, to have a english translation for new titles. If you want to buy it then buy the japanese box.
>>14699436
No chance of them getting their filthy gaijin hands on Evenicle this quickly
>>14699542
BUY HARUKA AND WE WILL MAKE EVENICLE POSSIBLE
>>14699351
MG release both censored and uncensored versions though, so what's the problem?
>>14699534
>>14699540
Hey, I'm just listing the odd one out. Not saying it's a good suggestion.
>>14699545
Anything is possible with Haruka.
>>14699351
I, for one, do not like uncensored genitals. It looks unsightly.
>>14699563
Fuck, I forgot to vote for Shin Koihime Musou.
>>14699557
Agreed, the artists tend to half-ass the bits they know will be hidden by the censoring.
>>14699566
It depends on the artist though. Clockup's people seem to give a shit about what's under the mosaics
>>14699370
Henshin, Futanari Elf Kairaku Choukyou, and Monobeno.
I couldn't think of anything story-focused that I wanted.
>>14699563
Still hilarious how they got cucked on flowers
>>14699569
There's just enough artists who actually care about the quality of their work that all the others are a constant stream of disappointments.
>>14699584
I hope Jast will give us a release date soon.
>>14699416
OreTsuba is impossible to licensed, they already said it. Shame because it was actually one of the most interesting VN I ever read. I put Tsuriotsu instead.
>>14699563
Who wants to take bets on how many people request Muv-Luv this year?
Can't help but notice that SubaHibi is gone from the list.
>>14699599
You mean this?
>SubaHibi - Official release planned
>>14699598
I'm pretty sure it'll be in top ten.
>>14699605
Oh. OH. Dead then.
>>14699584
Will MG try to go after a Nitro+ title in return?
>>14699598
Are their any issues surrounding Akatsuki Works Black's titles? I'd like to vote for one of them, but I don't want my vote to be wasted if it's somehow impossible.
>>14699589
It's not like they'll meet whatever date they'll give.
>>14699611
Your vote is irrelevant either way.
>>14699611
Well, they can still carry it in their store. It'll just won't be translated by them.
>>14699619
Making fun of JAST delays is half the fun.
>>14699611
They're a subsidiary of Akabei who've worked with Sekai before. Doesn't mean they're in an exclusive relationship though.
Should post this to RD Kickstarter https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/438yb1/criticism_of_world_end_economicas_forgotten/
Seems like a excellent way to get backers to stop funding them.
>>14699626
Go away, redditor.
>>14699557
This is about the general censorship of cut scenes, cut dialog, rewriting, etc.
MG doesn't do that, but I'm buying games from them because they don't do like Jast and Sekai. That is the point I wanted to make, and I had to use the other option to do so.
>>14699597
>Shame because it was actually one of the most interesting VN I ever read.
It's your duty to translate it now, anon.
>>14699626
They have fucked people over over how many kickstarters now? At this point, you can't blame SP anymore but idiots who keep giving them money.
>>14699626
>World End Economica
Episode 1's script was also horrible, it was clearly an ESL job. They promised to fix it but never did. I don't know if Episode 2 was also that bad.
>>14699625
They've splintered off from them though.
>>14699565
I don't think that game is ever going to get translated by MG.
>>14699654
Yeah, it's massive and would take around 6,000 full price sales just to break even. I doubt they'd bother, even though their sales are steadily increasing.
>>14699534
>They'd want a million dollars to license it, since Fate is so famous. It's not viable in the current vn market.
>>14699661
When has everything become just about money? Isn't the dream to make money off nukige and pay regular eroge from that?
I want more Clockup with even more Hamashima Shigeo.
>>14699667
You're nuts if you think Muv-Luv is anywhere near as big as Fate as a franchise.
>>14699675
That's my point. If Muv Luv can do over a million on Kickstarter a properly handled F/SN Kickstarter should be able to do 2-3x as much.
>>14699678
Oh. Yeah, you're right actually.
I wonder how probable the Ley Line series are? I've heard the games are quite good.
>>14699683
>>14699692
is*
>>14698098
but why couldn't they give us rance 01 or 02?
>>14699370
I put baldr sky, ikusa megami, and white album 2, and then mentioned kangoku senkan 2 in the additional comment.
>>14699678
I thought MG didn't want to use Kickstarter.
>>14699370
I want to fap in 2016 so Junketsu Megami, Kyonyuu Fantasy and Ikusa Megami 0.
>>14699626
its 10k away from funding and still 72 hrs left. unless people start pulling pledges its gonna go thru
>>14699706
Rance 2 is a 25 year old game. Which received a 'translation' at least 4 years ago.
Rance VI is actually a better first game to release than 01 as well
>>14698964
Hey, it's not me who's sucking Rance dick you Rance fag
>>14699706
Fuck 01 or 02, bring us 03.
>>14699692
I'm interested in it because of Noizi Ito's art. Shana is the cutest girl ever.
>>14699752
That would be pretty stupid by both Alicesoft and Mangagamer.
It would make it hard to sell the games that don't have 2015 graphics and aren't voiced.
>>14699757
Quest and IX are still ok and i think that the stupid thing is to try to sell fan-translated Rance.
>>14699757
I cringe every time I buy voiceless games. But sub 10 dollars fool me every time.
>>14699370
>First get Rance so /haniho/ doesn't kill themselves
>Second, some real lolige. lose's stuff is impossible due to length, so how about candysoft's loli titles or galette's titles?
>and if they aren't possible either, I haven't played it but even that Sweet Robin Girl title from chuable soft looks pretty cute, and they were interested in selling to the west.
sorry for your 6 second speedbump when you're compiling all the results haro
>>14699757
they could just skip the original series and only bring over the remakes
>>14699780
Is Monobeno that long ?
>>14699781
You can't skip VI.
It's way too pivotal to the plot of the series of the whole and of the later games.
>>14699598
The kickstarter was high enough profile that I don't think it'll be that high
I think it'll be 11th
>>14699783
Yes
Haro, better link the survey on MG main website.
>>14699370
1. Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai
2. Sukimazakura to Uso no Machi
3. Any kamige
>>14699534
>They'd want a million dollars to license it, since Fate is so famous.
They said the same about Kanon. So what's the ETA until Sekai licenses Mahoutsukai no Yoru?
>>14699471
Do you have two wallets, one for story games and one for nukige? What they really want to know is what games you would buy. And if you're more likely to buy the story games, then they want to hear the story games and not the nukige.
>>14699611
The way mangagamer will use this list is that they might actually approach some of the 100+ vote title's developers(that aren't retarded suggestions), and every other title on the list will be only be used in the manner that if a particular translator wants to translate that title, they'll point to the votes it got as "see? there's atleast a handful of people that'll buy it!".
So you might as well just vote for what you'll vote for.
>>14699839
The thing is i want both. I'm into story game like Gathkun and sometimes i want to masturbate to some Lilith titles or even euphoria.
>>14699672
They can't afford it (time, money wise is the problem) is the problem. They'd likely take a loss on it, and as a result BaseSon likely wouldn't agree to license it in the first place.
I wish MG license some dark nukige like yami no koe or gore screaming show.
>>14699957
Euphoria and Kuroinu aren't dark enough for you?
>>14699957
>gore screaming show
Never ever.
>>14699985
I'm not fan of Liquid but yeah Euphoria was cool.
>>14699707
MG might not want to do it, but it's the only way Fate will ever get brought over and I'm sure every other company would love to do it.
>>14700046
It's Aroduc's secret project.
>>14699642
I have backed multiple Sekai kickstarters, and I'm generally satisfied.
Fault: Received my Steam key and played it, entirely satisfied.
WAS: Better games have kept me occupied, and though I received my key a long time ago, I don't really care about it anymore.
Clannad: Received my key earlier than expected, and I'm quite pleased with the Sekai release.
Grisaia: I received my Kajitsu key, but I've been too busy with other VNs to finish Kajitsu (finished 2 routes and half of a route in the fan translated version). As I haven't finished Kajitsu, I'm in no hurry to read Meikyuu yet. I heard they censored Amane's route, though, so I'll have to re-install the fan translation to read that properly, not happy about that. I don't care about the porn (and am actively angry about Michiru's second H-scene taking away from an otherwise great scene in the original).
Narcissu 10th: Received Himeko's Epilogue key some time ago, earlier than I expected, but I've kept myself from reading it because it's been so long since I've read N2 that I'm not even sure who Himeko was anymore. Looking forward to the stories that aren't direct continuations, though.
Root Double: The only one I'm dissatisfied with. The early parts of the Kickstarter reeked of a lack of effort from Sekai's side, and the KS almost failed because of it. I'm glad I'm getting free extra stuff out of it, but come on. Nakazawa deserved better than this.
>>14700105
So what you're saying is that you don't actually play most of the things you buy, and you don't care what timeframe they're finished in.
You could just put your money in a pile and burn it, you know.
>>14700105
>WAS
Still no ETA for the voice acting, which they posted had been added when it had not.
>>14700183
It's never coming. Hell, they're charging money for it on Steam and still refuse to say a word on when it will be finished.
Retards responding to MG's survey confirmed.
