Yosuga no Sora still alive huh?
>>14629188
Only if you're on the wrong side of the argument. For the rest of us, they are fairly funny.
New manga gamer boundle out that will give them plenty of sales numbers again. Poor tracking guy.
But it is mostly no name porn titles. I guess even though they cost barely anything to translate, they don't really sell much. At least in the 25 dollar range.
Just when you thought the bundles sales obscurification might calm down, time for a groupees bundle!
The number of evangile wallscroll bundles has dropped from 40 to 30, and it has moved to the first spot on hardcopy sales chart. I suppose that's a good week for hardcopy sales, relatively.
In other news, I've been tracking the weekly sales chart for awhile, and recently started doing the same for the popularity sort. Given Mangagamer recently posted their end of year sales totals (http://blog.mangagamer.org/2016/01/13/2015-in-review/) and I've actually got a fairly good chunk logged, I figured I'd start pastebinning so you can go back and get an idea of how things faired. and also see just how much gahkthun struggled.

Does this mean they're going to retranslate the entire thing, like with Never7 and Steins;Gate?
>>14629599
At this point, I don't think VNTS has much choice, because you guys call EVERYTHING a machine translation, regardless of whether it is or not. You can't exclude things when you can no longer distinguish them from valid projects.
>>14629319
It's entirely no name nukige. It's no surprise MangaGamer isn't taken seriously and is only perceived as a 'porn game company' when they keep doing stuff like this.

15% off was quite nice for me since I bought WoW Legion this month too.
I'm fully expecting Yurirei to be a big success for MG because of all that coverage when they announced the game would be out on Steam completely uncensored.
>>14629849
While that is undoubtedly true, the same cannot be said for Aokana. Yet people are trying to convince people of that through underhanded tricks like lumping it together with a machine translation project and proving the other project is a machine translation (therefore the one I associate it with must be as well!).
>>14629832>>14629890
Are you both using dates from MG site?
400 orders in less than 6 hours is kind of too fast even for bundle, and bundle itself shows only 900 sales for whole duration.
>>14629925
Yes.
>>14629849
like every TL.
>>14629925
>>14629930
yup
Don't complain about machine TL on fan projects.
Just don't read them.
Or read it. Since you don't know japanese, you won't even be able to know if its machine TL'd!
Everybody wins!
Machine TL with professional tier English writing is better than perfect translation with 1st grader writing.
Machine TL with 1st grader writing is Ixrec.
ok i'm done.
>>14629319
Actually, the Harem Party hard copy sold very well and had to be reprinted several times.
>>14629319
Most of those games are several years old, so them not selling very well anymore isn't very surprising. And as mentioned many times, nukige sell around what story titles do, and actually have longer tail sales.
>>14629925
>>14629930
>>14629948
Yuri fans are thirsty and uncensored porn on Steam! Preorders only available from MG for 15% off!
The actual numbers are kind of amazing though, considering that many people will likely just wait and buy it on Steam.
>>14629925
>400 orders in less than 6 hours is kind of too fast even for bundle, and bundle itself shows only 900 sales for whole duration.
Bear in mind it's multiple games in a bundle anonymous, not to mention there's still straggles redeeming shit from thje last one
>>14630026
Most of those sales are from the Groupees bundle...
Magical Eyes - Feb 29th release
Magical Eyes - Winter release planned
Second week in a row it's listed twice, and no one notices because no one cares.
Bonus: Even the reddit repost faggot copypasta'd it unchanged
>>14630047
Highly doubt it.
Bundle is up for 3 days and amount of bundles delivered didn't change much from what it was 12 hours ago when I checked it. Yet there are 400 orders in one hour according to their screenshots. Even at 5 orders per single sold bundle, they would need to sell 100 bundles per hour, while its about 5-10 bundles per hour from what I observed.
>>14629846
Doubtful.
I wonder if Lemnisca will release their translation if it doesn't. Would be a shame to translate the entire thing only for it never to see the light of day.
>>14630120
Its too popular to fail.
I bet people will increase their pledges in last days radically if it will look like not reaching the goal.
>>14630137
I'm just going by the current rate of pledges, but I think it slowed down way too much too early for it to reasonably make the goal. I mean it's not impossible for there to be a huge push at the end, but I think it's just too far off for it to be a reasonable expectation to happen.
It is kind of a shame, I'd have preferred this one succeed than that vampire game, but it is what it is I guess.
>>14630137
The problem is people don't want to back Sekai anymore and they're sure they'll just release it anyway. No reason to do a glorified preorder.
>>14630147
Is it possible for them to lower the goal or accept a smaller amount if they don't make the full amount? Or do they get nothing unless they raise the full amount ?
>>14630137
I pledged $150 (+$10 shipping) from the start. I'm not rich enough to raise my pledge even further without having to seriously question my sanity.
>>14630156
>they're sure they'll just release it anyway
Nah man, I can see Lemnisca going full butthurt and throwing their entire finished translation directly into the garbage because they're mad their Kickstarter failed. I very much doubt they'll release it if they can't make money off it at this point.
>>14630157
Pretty sure you get nothing if you don't make your goal.
>>14630157
>they get nothing unless they raise the full amount
That's how kickstarter works. The most they could do is relaunch the campaign again at a later time if the devs still want to try it again after the first failure.
>>14630159
Average pledge is lower than Narcissu, and much lower than Clannad/Grisaia/MuvLuv, so I'm sure plenty of backers didn't go full out and got minimal tier. If SP plays damsel in distress well enough, I'm sure they could raise average pledge up to 80-100$ range.
>>14630194
The problem is that the rewards are shit.
>>14630194
I don't follow Kickstarter much, but is it really common for projects that are this far below goal and have clearly tapered off on pledges (only getting around $1,000~day or less from what I've checked) actually turn it around and succeed?
I just feel like this thing is doomed. Where are they going to get another 80k+ from when most of the people who actually cared pledged at the start?
>>14630206
Narcissu was supposed to be doomed almost all the way till the end and then it miraculously got tons of pledges and reached goal with decent margin.
>>14630206
Some projects can get a surge at the end, however given the circumstances surrounding RD and Sekai's pissing off former backers, the lack of daily pledges is not a good sign. There may still be a surge at the end, but going by the numbers, I doubt it'd be enough to save it. Most people who were backed due to worrying it would fail have done so already as well.
>>14630210
Even Narcissu didn't perform this badly and its goal was thousands less. Sekai most likely helped bump it with a few grand themselves, but Root Double is most likely too much in the hole at this point for that to work.
>root double fails
>it tanks all confidence in the western market's appetite for anything that isn't moege

>>14630224
>Narcissu didn't perform this badly
What?
It did much worse at this point. 400-600$ pledges per day vs 2000$ per day.
>>14630277
I'm talking about how it relates to the % of the goal.
>>14630115
There were 11 bundles sold in last hour, btw. At 5 orders per bundle, it would be only 55 orders per hour. So at least half of orders come from some other source.
This is weird, but I can see a post about Kindred Spirits on r/visualnovels on my phone, but when I look up the same site in my browser, it doesn't show up. Most likely reddit being shit, but it's weird.

Trying to calculate anything during bundles is a crapshoot which is why I don't bother. You might also want to keep in mind that there's also a lot of leftovers from the indiegala bundle that are still getting redeemed.
>>14630120
Lemnisca releasing this on their own after all of this is really doubtful unless they really want to get sued.
>>14630277
What's with those spikes in the end?
>>14630596
It's typical for a Kickstarter's final days to get a spike at the end, usually in alignment when the 48 hours left notice goes out. Root Double will get one too, the question is if they can get close enough for that spike to push them over the goal. Their daily funding has stabilized at around 2k a day, so they're not completely doomed yet if they can get a boost from something else before the end.
>>14630596
There's a notice sent out for all kickstarters at the 48 hours left to go mark.
>>14630596
pretty sure that a good chunk of it was sp throwing their own money in to it
>>14630741
That doesn't even make an ounce of sense as Narcissu was overfunded by 22k. And that same trend happens with pretty much every single Kickstarter.
>>14630760
Sekai was getting worried about the Narcissu KS and were desperately shilling it everywhere. Then an odd amount of over 1k pledges appeared really close together. They may have wanted people to think it was closer to reaching its goal than it was, so that people would push it over the threshold and continue supporting it.
>>14630760
Things don't need to make sense or be true if they reinforce your existing beliefs.
>>14630913
By the time of the last few days it was clear that it was going to get funded. Your theory is nonsense, they didn't risk their entire business to cheat Kickstarter and waste their own money (KS gets a cut of funding) for a project that was already on its way to reaching the base goal.

>Also, for Koiken Otome? That's like buying a restaurant so you can eat hot pockets.
I am a stupid chuuni with shit taste. I liked the demo a lot, I'm a sucker for chuuni magic battles, and I liked Akane's endless determination in spite of her weak power. I just need my shitty chuunibyou stuff, man, it's like the shounenshit I used to read but with moe and waifus.
Also I want to learn Japanese so I can read whatever weebshit I want, not just for one game.
Yea I also constantly wonder why I don't put more effort into Japanese. The amount of loli games with simple text should be easy to play through with just a little work. Compared to the slim chances they get translated by anyone else.
>>14631945
Mitsumete Knight
>>14631989
You keep saying that word in reference to fucking Koiken Otome. Do you think Da Capo is chuunibyou too?
>>14632074
Kanon is my favorite chuuni game.
>>14632074
Koiken Otome isn't chuuni? It's a fucking magical school battle harem with made up terms like "douryouku", how the fuck is that not chuuni?
>>14632155
So you think that anything with magical powers that, if we're going by Koiken Otome's commitment to its 'battle' premise, at any point ever has two characters competing in any minor way, is chuuni.
Good to know you're an idiot.
>>14632155
This just in, every single LN ever made is chuuni.
>>14632178
>>14632171
Nah, it goes beyond that. All fantasy is chuuni now.
>>14632182
Only if it's a harem.
>>14632171
Then why does anime, wherever it wants to parody chuuni, usually portray characters doing superhuman stuff with magic powers, named attacks, and made-up terms?
Chuuni to me isn't just any Fantasy ever, it's stuff that has superhuman characters who get into over-the-top fights with lots of extravagantly named attacks, made-up terms, and a giant overdose of anime cheese. I mean, of I'm wrong, I'm willing to admit it, but that's what I lead to believe it meant.
>>14632233
>over-the-top fights with lots of extravagantly named attacks, made-up terms, and a giant overdose of anime cheese
So not Koiken Otome at all.
>>14632238
So there's not as much action as the premise would have you believe? Fuck.
I just want to read some unapologetic escapist battle harem trash. I have shit taste and I don't deny it.
>>14632269
So learn japanese and go read 11eyes, fortissimo and later Masada's stuff
>>14632269
Let's put it this way. Every character gets one CG where they pose with their weapon. Some heroines have to share. The main heroine gets two CGs. That's all the art devoted to the 'fighting' in the game. Even Fuwanovel machine translators call it generic crap.
>A definite like for those who want a game similar to Kamikaze Explorer and similar games with mild drama and magical powers. The big downer for this game is that it goes through all that trouble to introduce such a weird setting and turned it into just another magical gakuen love-comedy eroge

Any chance for Mirrormoon to pick up the sequel of Utawarerumono ? I know they are still alive because sometimes they update their patch of Melty Blood.

>>14633596

How were the sales for Tears to Tiara II ? If it flopped then they will never work on another Aquaplus title. Or maybe it's possible that Fruitbat Factory strike a new deal with Aquaplus ?
>>14633613
Atlus doesn't release numbers and niche JRPGs don't sell enough to make it onto sales charts in the West, so who knows. I figure they'll be interested in Utawarerumono because it's on the PS4 and they've done a bunch of Aquaplus titles recently (including Dungeon Travelers 2).
>>14633607
there is actually interest in it, the game has already been hacked.
>>14633669
That will never get finished, at least until PS3 or Vita emulation is fully viable and that's only if an official localization doesn't happen (which it probably will).
>>14633613
They've also released Aquapazza and Dungeon Travelers 2, both Aquaplus.
>>14633691
the hacking has been done via a hacked PS3, only thing holding work back is the hacker and most likely TL are each already working on 2 other games which won't be done for some time.
>>14633712
I know. But no one is going to finish a project of this size when only people with a hacked PS3 could use it.
>>14633736
Well they did it for Vesperia so it isn't completely out of the question. But yeah I think people are just waiting to see if it gets announced before actually making a move.

you're very much underestimating how crazy people can be. if there was an available TL the project would pick up fast, but an official release would make it all pointless so i don't blame you for being pessimistic.

its been many many years, so many other projects have been started and finshed with this one just going along at its own pace.
Had it been announced previously that Seinarukana will have a Steam release?

Nice.

2016 ? With only 40% editing and Jast policy it's more like 2017.

>We fixed a minor bug in euphoria! The last mosaic was removed from a cut-in CG. New master data upload.
What scene? I didn't even notice. Now don't tell me it was a anus...
>>14629846
Certainly the fantastic performance of RD is showing how kickstarters are the future of VNs isn't it dovac? Even appealing to a different audience SP is having trouble with their recent kickstarters and this is bound to continue given their ever increasing excellent reputation!
I'm sure dovac feels proud of all the shit he has done so far. It even baffles me how someone who says he's been following the industry for several years (and even says he was related to tlwiki) can make the decisions and have the attitude he had so far. Only idiots don't know how this will hurt in the long run.
>>14634500
>Now don't tell me it was a anus...
No, it was one of the cut-ins, an x-ray/internal shot.
Neither of those 4 games is the secret project that conjuror work for.
>>14634545
Could someone fix the copyright thing on the blog? It reads 2008-20015 and it's triggering my autism.
>>14633302
Tracker anon needs the date that MG provided in order to track progression. Standardized time and all that.
>>14634679
I know, and some retards think it's Dies and that they need to support RD for them to see a value in story games. Sekai shills are really desperate at this point. Does Conjurer have any idea how mad/annoyed everyone of them is going to be when it's not Dies?
>>14634679
it's chaos;child. moogy said so
>>14633767
>you're very much underestimating how crazy people can be
One of such crazy people here. It doesn't matter how crazy we are if the object of our craziness doesn't match your preference.
Utawarerumono 2 does have a better chance of getting a fan dedicated and skilled enough for the job than any other PS3 exclusive VN (maybe except for S;G0 - "exclusive" as in "only works on one hackable console"), but I wouldn't count on it. The project of such scope needs team work and fans like that don't like to be a part of the team.
>>14634679
>neither
>4
That's how Jast announces a Steam release? Through a progress update?
>>14634789
I hope not. I don't give a shit about these ; titles give me eustia or baldr sky for fuck sake.
>>14633079
MG usually releases games at the end of the month though, so having Yurirei at the middle would indicate a second game in February.
But as you said, that hasn't happened with their full-length ones, only their Steam releases.
>>14635011
>would indicate a second game in February.
Magical Eyes: Red is for Anguish comes out February 29th, though it's a 3rd Party title.
http://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=1&product_code=160
>>14634766
While you're correct, in this instance I can figure out the date due to other order numbers.
>>14629331
Order Number - 156896
Order Date - 2016-01-19 03:34:04
>>14635324
Question, if Kindred Spirits is ~30 hours long why is it only $35 full price? Is it because it's only partially voice acted. Discounting its voices, G-Senjou was much cheaper.
>>14629331
Princess Evangile Limited Edition (hardcopy)
Order Number - 156916
Order Date - 2016-01-19 03:55:34
>>14635374
Because it's going on Steam.
>>14635446
But it's not cut. All of MG's all-ages games are cheaper then their adult counterparts, though it's hard to tell now that most of the all-ages versions of adult titles have been removed from their store due to getting them rated.
This is good new if true though, since I could get some vns I've been hoping for at a discount, plus a preorder discount.
>>14635457
I meant that they're pricing it with the Steam marketplace in mind. And since there is only one version of the game the price is the same on MG's storefront.
>>14635465
Tokyo Babel might end up being around the same price then. All-ages titles haven't typically sold well for MG in the past, so copies sold on Steam or bought from them for the Steam key bonus will likely make up the majority of its sales.
>>14632745
73 days until what?
>>14635539
Until an incompetent Chinese -> English translator said he'd release his partial work on translating a Japanese -> Chinese project he filled with lolreferences to his past Chinese -> English translations.
>>14634679
can't believe baldr sky is losing the poll wtf
>>14635786
Nobody gives a shit about Baldr Sky.
>>14635786
I voted Eustia. I rather have Eustia than Baldr Sky.
>>14636013
Thanks for explaining what a vote is. I wasn't sure until you explained that.
>>14634807
i'm not sure what the hell you're trying to say or thought i was saying but the game is pretty much completely hacked, text insertion and all. at this point there wouldn't even need to be much teamwork, one dude would just need to TL a script by himself for the most part.
>>14636149
That's Aroduc's secret project.
>>14636023
You're welcome :)
>>14636227
don't even bring him up. poor guy is working on so many games and has no hacker to get them done, on top of that he has to beg people to image edit for him, it's a shame. wish i could convince him to work on other stuff so he would have an actual team.
>Check the Root Double kickstarter
>If you want to hear from the translator's point of view of why this game is better compared to Steins;Gate you can read an info dump here (We didn't directly embed the image due to the possibility of spoilers)
Is it really better than Steins;Gate?
>>14636988
No, the translator is just trying to get paid. Also, someone just posted this same image in the /vn/ thread on /vg/
>>>/vg/129033842
>>14637012
Well that is me after all.
>>14636988
Soon: BDH explains why Pygmalion is better than Dies Irae.
>>14637012
Sekai Project saying anything and everything to get people to give them money? That's never happened before.
>>14636988
I think it depends on your personal taste in the end, but both Root Double and Steins;Gate are great games.
>>14637034
Sounds like advertising to me. The Sekai shills are out in full force it seems.
>>14637012
Anon posting the same post on different boards is 100% acceptable and pointing it out like you are is just being an obnoxious newfag
>>14637034
> posting on /vg/
> acceptable
Wat. Get out of /jp/ right now.
>>14637042
No need to be pretentious bro, /jp/ is not exactly a beacon of quality anymore.
>>14637038
The complain about shills or whatever, don't whine about making the same post twice.
>>14637038
Pretty sure the guy is pointing out how desperate they're getting by having to name drop a really popular title like Steins;Gate and to say RD is better than it.
>>14637048
Fine, they're spamming posts for advertisement purposes, like support RD to get Dies earlier.
Libra is now at 162000$, with 3 stretch goals reached.
Quite impressive, considering how it was on the road to fail week ago.
RD, however, shows no signs of recovering despite intensified shilling.
>>14637066
Give it another week or so.
>>14637066
They added another stretch goal, which seems unnecessary, since they probably won't even hit the Vita port goal.
>>14637058
He has made 2 posts, both on-topic to the threads they were posted in. That is not yet spam, even if he is an evil shill conglomeration that you have no evidence of.
I'm starting to sound like a defensive shill but really I'm just pissed that you went so far as to link in between threads like a smug motherfucker. Fuck Sekai Project, Nekopara translation was awful, they took on too many projects haven't delivered and STILL want to add another? Are they stupid? Etc etc etc etc
>>14637080
They also haven't been able to do any of their other promised Vita ports so far, so this one is extra bullshit.
>>14637092
I was talking about Libra.
>>14637092
>haven't been able to do any of their other promised Vita ports so far
This is first Mikandi game.
>>14637083
But why would someone who doesn't work for Sekai Project care so much? lol
What amount was Libra at before the 48 hour reminder?
>>14636452
What other stuff is even out there?
>>14637194
http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/mikandijapan/libra-of-the-vampire-princess-visual-novel-english/#chart-daily
Calculate yourself.
>>14637205
He should translate Shin Koihime Musou.
Do you have faith in the current fan TL's team's quality?
>>14637205
That has teams and is hacked, I mean.
>>14637223
The current fan TL who has literally posted that he can't read Japanese at all?
>>14637228
They're fuwanovel approved.
>>14637233
Yep. Same as his idols, Clephas and mdz. All you need to do is spend a week studying grammar. Kanji is just memorization, so it's okay if you skip it and read everything out of machine translation.
>>14637224
i just meant in general. i'm not interested in anything he's working on and everything he needs help with sounds like it'd be a bitch to work on which is why i don't wanna try to help.
but i mean, just as an example, if he or anyone else wanted to work on something easierhacking-wiseor something a little more popular, like sakuta or whatever, i could probably throw a team together.
Who is the love triangle between in Kindred Spirits? Is it the MC and her 2 friends, or broadcasting club trio?
>>14637380
You're not interested in Baldr Sky?
>>14637430
How many sides do you think a triangle has?
>>14637430There isn't one.
>>14637449
Vndb fails me again.
>>14637449
Anything anyone could've mistaken for a love triangle?
>>14637473
Not really.
>>14637475
Vndb users are frustrating. How does something get a 2.0 for a tag when the game contains none of it? That's just misleading.
>>14637488
> believing random posts on /jp/
>>14637497
>believing random vndb users
>>14637435not really, but i'm not too familiar with it other than knowing it has like 20 games including sequels, fandiscs, etc.
does he even need any help on it? i wasn't even sure if he was actually working on it or if it was a meme that he was. i thought there would have been alot more excitement about it at least.
>>14637515
Why not both?
>>14637515
>Game script translation complete. 6+ technical issues persist.
Sure sounds like it.
>>14633079
Haruka is up for pre-order and its release is dated at Feb 23, so they guessed pretty well.
>>14638204
That's very fast for game of such huge size.
They could probably finalize another deal with alicesoft by summer cons season at this rate.
>>14629087
Someone from Fuwanovel Forums has translated Bishoujo Mangekyou into Finnish
http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/12531-bishoujo-mangekyou-norowareshi-densetsu-no-shoujo-finnish-translation-is-out/
Also someone else on the forums has started an English translation of the Finnish version. Currently at 3%
https://euphemictranslation.wordpress.com/
>>14629087
>Mahou Tsukai no Yoru
Never ever ever.
>>14638250
Much of the game are H-scenes, which are usually translated poorly and quickly.
>>14638446
A machine translation of a machine translation. Wonderful.
>>14638446
> Japanese --machine--> Finnish -> English by random Indonesian
I'm sure it will be very high quality translation.
>>14638446
>Someone from Fuwanovel Forums
Dude no. It wasn't anybody from Fuwa, somebody from Finnish imageboard decided to do it.
Why they did it is a mystery.
>>14638469
Well, shit, you're right. I stand corrected.
>A machine translation of a machine translation. Wonderful.
Well, I don't speak Finnish but I don't see where it was claimed that the original was a machine translation.
The second one definitely seems like a hands on translation.
>>14638453
This is oft repeated, but H-scenes don't really take any shorter or longer to translate than anything else on average. If anything most average conversation is more effortless than the amount of descriptive narration in H-scenes, which balances out the moans and screaming, I guess you could say.
>>14638469
>Why they did it is a mystery.
Iunno. Biman is one of the best looking nukige on the market. Seems like a good reason to me.
>>14638250
Well they had to get it out early so they could do Shaman Sanctuary
>>14638446
>translation of a translation
>translation of a FINNISH translation
Fucking hell
>>14638525
Christ. At what point are they going to sell the actual Rance games? I don't care for the majority of other AliceSoft RPGs. Of course they have to sell well before MangaGamer would even consider bringing Rance to the west, even though it's a goldmine, it's a shame that AliceSoft seems to be clinically retarded as well.
>>14639026
Please stay in /vg/ ranceposter
>>14638204
Also no DRM.
I hope Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo gets translated someday
>>14639690
Why, considering the ending?
>>14639691
I started reading it yesterday and only finished Yui's route so far, so I've yet to see the true ending a lot of people have been mad about. But I've been enjoying the novel so far, maybe I just missed reading a comfy high-school romance VN.
>>14638204
Birthday nukige? Oh MG, you shouldn't have.
It's also cheaper than I thought it would be for a full-length nukige with gameplay. Could MG actually be lowering their prices a bit? Between this and Kindred Spirits, it seems like it might be happening.
>>14638204
They forgot to tag it for having battles, but at least the description mentions that it's an RPG.
>>14638525
No, they'll do the AliveZ fan TL they were offered. And what a coincidence, it was Alice Soft's next release after Haruka.
>>14639791
Almost poetic.
>>14639705
You mean reading or "reading"?
When the fuck is Seinarukana finally coming out?
Reminder that Mahoyo was out in 2012 and we are now in 2016 without a translation even if it's a fucking Type-Moon visual novel.
>>14639836
Never.
>>14639876
But Mahoyo is worse than F/E CCC so it should get a translation in priority
>>14639892
Oha pal, I see that you're following Moogy-denka's twitter too.
>>14639791
>>14639804
No. They will do Mamatoto to prepare the west for their release of the mobage version of Mamanyonyo
>>14639915
Of course, how would I know what is good or not otherwise?
>>14639916
Too old and there's already a patch for it that Aru released.
>>14639690
there are better games that deserves to be translated anon
>>14634679
So now there is no hope that his secret project is one of them. Fuck i really wanted Eustia.
>>14640020
His secret project is probably Chaos;Child
>>14640036
How come ? It'll be a huge disappointment if it's true.
>>14640040
It's either this or Dies Irae
It's supposed to be a title that everyone heard about in the west and that is high quality.
Chaos:Child fits the bill and there is a PC version and anime getting released this year
>>14640048
I'm guessing Chaos:Child too, since I don't think he could even list Dies as a possibility if it really were that, because the project is supposed to still be a secret.
>>14640048
Dies Irae is popular because of his meme status for being the "hardest" visual novel to translate but i don't think people really care about Chaos:Child.
Steins;Gate is pretty popular in the west because of the anime adaptation but i don't think that's the case for Chaos titles. Robotics;Notes flopped hard too. I'm sure most of them watched the anime for Chaos;Head and it's known to be shitty, i don't think people make the connection between S;G and Chaos;Child too.
>>14640068
Moogy acts like Himawari is a kamige, but that's not a popular opinion among western players either.
>>14639919
Obviously. I would also recommend Kastel-sama and Hadler-sama's twitters.
>>14640090
>but that's not a popular opinion among western players either
Actually it is, at the very least for those who are vocal
Why would it be Chaos;Child? If anything, it would be Chaos;Head Noah first.
Might be Steins；Gate 0 though.
>>14640175
Chaos;Child because there is anime coming to increase the hype.
It's either that or Dies Irae, i wouldn't be surprised by any of them
>>14640172
I've seen people who said they don't want to play it because of loli. And I've seen people who like loli seem interested until they find out this release will be all-ages, then they immediately lose interest.
>Himawari is a no-name lolige and the art looks as expected.
Quoted from the now defunct MG forums AKA people who actually buy vns.
>>14640186
>I've seen people who said they don't want to play it because of loli. And I've seen people who like loli seem interested until they find out this release will be all-ages, then they immediately lose interest.
That's just the opinion of people who didn't play it so who care?
I'm talking about people who did play it, I have yet to see any bad opinion about it
Afterward, if it will sell or not I don't know but
>Moogy acts like Himawari is a kamige, but that's not a popular opinion among western players either.
imply that are talking about the critical reception of the game, not whether it will sell or not
