How long until eroges overtake the inferior western market.
Won't happen until most of the people who play them stop pirating them.
One of the MangaGamer translators let sales numbers for one of their releases slip at one point, and when people checked Nyaa, the torrent literally had over 10X downloads.
Imagine how fucking hard western devs would be yelling if AAA titles were pirated that much.
>>338801352
it's hard to justify paying for porn.
>>338801436
As it is for anything else otaku related. People have had fansubs for free for years, why should they suddenly start paying for simulcasts?
That's the kind of mentality these companies are dealing with.
...Well, it's not a problem solely over here. According to Alicesoft, at one point recorded sales numbers for Sengoku Rance were 50K copies. but the patch for the game had been downloaded 500K times.
>paying for weebshit
>>338801740
Fansubs have been dead outside of certain unlicensed shows for years.
Now people just torrent the rips
>>338801887
what are you talking about, any decent show still gets a fansub
>>338801767
>Paying for western 'games'
>>338801075
There's not enough people in the western market that are willing to pay for them unlike in the Japanese market where there are people willing to pay for them. Both sides have ridiculous amounts of piracy though and there's nothing they can do about it. Tt's already been shown that using invasive DRM completely kills the sales of eroge with it as people actively boycott them
>>338801978
The fansubbers just edit the simulcast subs.
>>338801075
>erotic anything overtaking in the west
Eroge developers are too stupid to realize their games get pirated because they aren't translated, so instead of wanting to localize them they want to cut all translation projects to fight piracy, never.
>>338801075
Never because of people's reactions to stuff like rapeplay
Due to a combination of most eroges sucking ass, and porn games usually being a pain to actually buy, they won't penetrate the market any time soon
If they make it more convenient to buy then I could see them being met with moderate success, like that shitty cat game that got put on steam and did fairly well
>>338802615
Ofcourse they're going to be easy to buy, everything is going digital copy now a days.
>>338801075
??????????
it's ridiculous how many hours i've put into sengoku rance. probably more than any other game i've played

>>338803956
It will be translated.
It will never be released, though.
>>338801075
Never. It's sexist, remember? Western markets future are games with strong independent trans-helicopterkin-women. Unpure games from based japs will be banned and whoever bought any will be arrested, and put into reeducation camps with daily estrogen pill diet.

No shit, Quest blows. Basically everything but 5D is better than it. 5D has some quirky charm though so honestly maybe not even that. 6 shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Quest.

>>338804116
>I personally think Rance VI is better than Quest and should be translated/released first.
It should definitely be released first considering Quest is very referential to the rest of the series, so the more context you have the better. Gameplay-wise though Quest feels like a direct upgrade to 6.
>>338801075
Sengoku Rance is an exception in terms of an eroge with decent gameplay
99% of eroge 'gameplay' is just boring filler until you get to the fap part
Eroge without game play aren't worth playing.
>>338804545

Oh but japan wins
Me and an artist friend of mine are making a survival rpg porn game. An all female class crash on an island on their way to wherever for a field trip. Island is filled with monsters during the day and demons during the night. Heavy focus on crafting and all deaths a permanent, if a party member dies it triggers an erotic snuff scene of that character and you lose them forever. Some monsters though will just kidnap the girls and use them as breeding stock, increasing the encounter rate. There will be a bunch of fetishes, but in the end it'll mostly focus on snuff. Also we got some neat ideas to play off tropes to twist em around and end in snuff.
>>338804718
Of the ones I played, Daibanchou, Kichikuou Rance and Kamidori all had decent gameplay. I agree that the majority is shit, but there are a few more exceptions worth mentioning.
Friendly reminder that seinrakuana released this month after peter fucking payne hogged the tl for years.

>you'll never play Sengoku Rance for the first time again
It was so fucking magical. The world felt truly alive with the amount of events you can trigger. So much hidden stuff. So many characters. So many options. And when I was finished with my first playthrough, I hadn't even seen all the factions and had something to look forward to in NG+.
>>338804964

>>338804610
This anon's got it right.
I stopped caring after playing koukaku and soukoku no arterial and that was pushing it. They went dead after himegari meister desu. Kamidori was the last straw for me.
>>338805420
that fucking feel
i'm also pretty sure I got a bad ending with shibata on my very first playthrough, something about lolicons. I could never recreate it. I have no fucking idea how I even triggered this chain of events
>>338805531
you sound like the generic indie dev from steam.
all talking, no showing of anything.
>>338805124
>I'm surprised people aren't all over this
It literally only dropped a month ago. We've had Kamidori and SR for the better part of decade to play it. Chill out, yo.
>>338805275
It should be valid both ways, if that furfag of Fenoxo did one thing right was that you had the choice to be dominant and win, or get ravaged if lose/submit
>>338804814
>No, Quest is a massive downgrade to VI's system
The dungeon crawling is pretty similar, but I thought the way it expanded on Sengoku's limited number of attacks system + large cast forcing you to swap out worked really well, especially considering it's a character fanservice game. Meanwhile 6's combat is...well, not terrible, but it really needed some sort of MP system or whatever.
>>338805698
Yet I saw 3 million threads about Nekopara or whatever garbage VNs got released on Steam.
>>338805251
I hate its art style and overall "feel"
The attack names are funny ironically at least
>>338805820
yes, because they got released on steam.

Well I mean the game will be free, so we're already nothing like steam devs.
Also I'm not in charge of the art, so right now all I'm using is placement holder shit, so it's kinda hard to show anything off.

>no OC guys but here's some placeholder art i didn't stole.
>>338805779
>limited number of attacks system + large cast forcing you to swap out worked really well
But the thing is that that system was inferior to VI's design, only a 1/3rd of the cast is actually useful and some classes are straight out inferior to others. With VI's system almost every single character (baring 3) were viable for use for the entire game
Limited amounts of battles with infinite skill usage > Infinite amounts of battles with limited skill usage.
>but it really needed some sort of MP system or whatever.
Doing so would have been overkill as there was already a system in place to limit usage of characters. Characters could only participate in a limited amount of battles before getting too tired and having to sub out.
VI's gameplay is easily the best outside of SR/KR.
>>338806132
>>338806172
>>338806206
What's wrong with RPG Maker?
Vanilla music yeah, battle mechanics are a bit different.
>no OC guys but here's some placeholder art i didn't stole.
Well obviously I didn't make that art, place holder is just to have something there so we can swap it out when the real stuff is done.
>>338805779
It's mostly a matter of preference but I prefer VI more simple combat system. I found the whole crowding of characters and necessary swaps in Quest rather annoying.
>>338806312

5 bucks sounds good enough for an indie eroge.
Also, steam is about the convenience of the service. People even register non steam games just so they'll show on steam.
If they offeerd an easy way to download, without obtuse patches and shit like that; a simple way to pay for it digitally and the convenience of having all in one place I think it could work out. Or at least beats having 99% of your copies pirated even though there are clarly people interested in throwing money at them, as kickstarter and patreon have should us recently.

On the upside, being able to read Japanese is nice since it allows you to occasionally sidestep stuff like censorship or forced dubs for regular video games, so I don't think it was a waste of time in the end.
>>338813235
It takes awhile before you can quickly read in another language. For some people, it never comes. Even then, yeah you don't have to deal with a middleman as long as you aren't actually buying shit.

Hey, Brave Soul was made in RPGmaker and that shit was tight.
>>338813235
I'm nearing the 4 year mark too, I think. I stopped actually learning and started reading along the middle. I don't do reps or anything like that anymore.
I read pretty quick unless it's historical drama, but I consider myself to be pretty good with languages to begin with.
Also, learning Japanese was one of the best decision I ever made. So many games I could play, and even games that are translated are better in their original language.

>>338801075
Never. It's a tiny, insignificant niche that will never be mainstream. Even games on major services like Steam rarely sell over 2000 copies. Official websites that offer localizations such as MangaGamer and JAST rarely break 2k as well. It's a dead medium. Dying in the east, while *slowly* growing in the west, but to no avail.

Well, learning a language for one thing only is a complete waste of time. Many are honeydicked by titles such as Muramasa and Dies irae, but they're vastly overrated and complete and utter garbage compared to traditional literature. Hell, westerners already have game that shits all over them in terms of writing.Planescape: Torment

1.) Panders to my fetishes - I'm not going to pay for vanilla anime porn when there's so much porn out there.
2.) Is officially translated into English - I'll import a game if you show me that you want my money. If not, you didn't want it and I'm not going to give it to you.
3.) Has no additional censorship.
4.) Is somewhat reasonably priced.
I'm into loli stuff mostly. The last one I bought Little Witch Romanesque at full price (double the steam price) to get the uncensored version. I would probably buy that train loli VN that I think Sekai Project is localizing if they weren't censoring it, but they're not getting a cent from me regardless of whether or not a fan patches stuff back in.
I'd buy official localizations of something like Monobeno or any Eushully game at any price, as long as they put in the effort to make it a good localization for the intended player base, but the teams currently officially translating Eroge have shit taste.

Pleb.
>>338815445
Alicesoft has already come here. MG released Beat Blades Haruka.
>>338815445
because of China and Korea
>>338801075
What are some games that are close to this? Preferably with NG+ bonuses.
>>338815808
Eiyuu Senki (+ Gold). Only problem is that it's so really easy in comparison. Still worth playing though.
There's a translation patch for the first Eiyuu Senki, porting over the official translation used in the PS3 version.
Eiyuu Senki Gold has a UI translation.

Kichikuou Rance is kind of a mechanical prototype to SR, but is still a lot of fun and shows off the whole Rance world instead of only JAPAN.
Kamidori Alchemy Meister. The gameplay is different, but it's just as rich in content as SR.
Bunny Black was popular for a week or so. Haven't played it, but might be worth looking into.
Daibanchou is another pre-SR Alicesoft game. The gameplay goes through different phases, ramping up in complexity/scope.

Eiyuu Seknki Gold full translation when?
>>338815632
what are some other good translated NTR games?
i've played ntrpg 2 and loved it. playing imazaki imouto now and find it pretty ok so far. tried playing emma but i think i got stuck on progression and dont know how to trigger more events
>>338816893
If you lose in Kichikuou Rance the girls get raped right? The same happens to Daibanchou
>>338817117
Depends on the definition of lose. Some girls also get raped regardless.
You will never save Hawzel and Hornet for instance.
KR has 100% guaranteed permanent death as well
>>338817117
Not that I remember. There are a few story instances of "rescue X or she gets a bad end", but I think that's it.
>>338814638
Those titles are good though, but only because the authors have godtier writing styles. The setting/plot itself is cliché as fuck, especially dies irae. And how the fuck are you jumping between between literature and torment?
>>338816967
>translated
I can't think much other than the occasionally translated rpgmaker titles.
>>338817734
Most people use machine translations. No one gives a fuck about story and writing.
>>338817678
>godtier writing styles
Narahara is god awful, though.
>>338818164
He understands how to write proper fight scenes. That alone makes him good enough.
>>338801075
Rapelay incident
>>338818531
15 minutes of dull infodumping before anything happens isn't good writing, nor a good fight. They're by far the worst part of 装甲悪鬼村正. Take 鬼哭街 as an example of excellent fight scenes.
>>338803173
That's the symbol of Honganji, fortress of the Ikko Ikki and Buddhist fighting monks
>>338806123
So? What's the title?
>>338818051
story and writing are kinda important for NTR
I don't see it happening OP.
>"I let you gang rape my wife and had her split into five pieces. Is that something a sane man would do?"
What did he mean by this?
>>338814904
Yep, happened with this piece of shit and they never recovered. Alicesoft is the only studio left alive since the 80s. THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOPOOOOOOOOHH YEEEEAH
>>338804290
Tenco has been pretty fun. AlsoMinatoSoft as a guilty pleasure
>>338802615
>Due to a combination of most eroges sucking ass
How do you know this if you can't read most of them?
It's like /v/'s a fucking Reddit. Everyone's an expert.

Funny how this kills Elf but shit like >>338815632 is still flying and more success than the original vanilla eroge. Adding NTR to a vanilla eroge is like a recipe for disaster because how otaku can get their boycott done unlike here.
It's not always a good thing because this is how shit like Muv-Luv Altered Fable is made. But then Japanese vanillafags are paying customer unlike here, so good for Age, I guess.
Violated Heroine Kickstarter when?
>>338803173
>Didn't know Nazi Germany was ACTUALLY in Japan.
Step up sempai.
>>338823385
No. It's adding surprise NTR to something marketed as a normal, vanilla game.
>>338823615
This. NTR itself has a market of its own but adding that to a plain vanilla game as a twist is just asking for trouble
>>338823687
I do have to save that I had no issues with the game in question myself.
But they failed to recognise the traits of the market.
The eroge market is highly 'educated' and by that I don't mean schooling I mean that the customers are very well informed about the different games and companies and the history and track record and who offers what . Brand loyalty is a lot smaller compared to the game industry as a whole while the market memory is a lot stronger.
>>338823687
It's probably fine for a worst ending kind of deal where you completely screw the pooch, but plot twisting it is a big gamble. Its not really genre shifting like say Yu-no so the hook would have to really REALLY good.
Never ever
>>338823949
Well bad endings is fine - see Rance games for instance.
Even Shizuka has been raped by enemies
But for generic dating sim/romance sort of games it's pretty brave move.
Elf also doubled down and became a high production value NTR company. Which proved to be a bad mood.
Some of their more recent offerings are pretty decent though
>>338814003
>yuno being remade
>a good thing
not with how they're handling the gorgeous art, anon.
>>338824081
Eushully could well be in desperate need of cash soon so never say never.
>>338824180
I always enjoyed elf, but yeah they definitely just couldn't survive. Makes me worry about AS, but they managed to survive Vanilla Quest and Daiteikoku, back to back no less so maybe they are invincible after all.
>>338801075
They should translate space one. SG was so much fun.
>>338824234
After this they're fucked. Especially 55 is really bad.
And consider the reviews:

>>338803795
That was the symbol used by the Hōjō clan during feudal Japan
>>338824539
Forgot pic
>>338824565
He was ribbing him anon
>>338824423
Add Toushin Toshi III to that as well.
Alicesoft got lucky because they still had Rance to fall back on to.
A lot of Rance fans were disappointed with Quest but not to the extent of giving up on the series.
I'm quite interested in what they will do once Rance finishes. Rance 04 is also going to come out as well but VI onwards don't really require remakes.
Probably spinoffs.
Alicesoft also release 3-4 games a year generally (though only two games last year and probably only 2 this year).
>>338824539
my sides
Is it really that bad?
>>338819238
But, the Buddist monks weren't a state competing for Japan
>>338824661
The numerous detailed reviews with low scores definetly indicate something is wrong.
Honestly I had doubts about it ever since they announced the 6 protagonists thing. It just doesn't sound like something that could be done well in an eroge.
Is everything JAST and MA sells legal in the US?
Would consider buying stuff in that case since I pirated everything before
>>338824539
>>338824607
And Kami no Rhapsody was really shit as well.
I still think that if they went back to their strengths rather than going with experimental crap they have a chance to come back.
They need to do another Ikusa Megami;
They are in big trouble though if Rance X gets delayed to next years Golden Week release
>>338824709
The Ikko Ikki was a massive pain in the ass to Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga did nothing wrong.
>>338824860
Yes. Its' EU and Canada you'll find problems.
>>338823687
It's not really a twist though, Tamaki clearly said early in the game that she already has a boyfriend. Of course, making her MC's childhood friend is a really stupid idea, but still. Can't they make her scenario like Mizuho from Kakyuusei 1,where you have to actively sabotage the local playboy effort to fuck her?
>>338825020
>using machine translations
Kinda hilarious how for different sentences different translations are better or worse. It's like a double puzzle for you, first you need to guess which translation is the closest and then what it's actually supposed to mean.
>>338825020
You just don't do that with childhood friends.
The two worst betrayals in eroge are the childhood friend and your mother abandoning you for your enemy
>>338819929
His wife deserved it.
>>338825239
Worst still, you make the mother reasonable and understanding in every other route but her own, where she is standoffish, accusatory and distrusting.
>>338825020
For a vanilla game, childhood friends are the ones that you never should fuck up. The worst thing they did, is she is THE MAIN GIRL, THE ONE ON THE COVER EVEN IN THE Anime and OVAs.
>>338825239
>your mother abandoning you for your enemy
What eroge does this?
>>338825528
Not him, but YU-NO comes to mind
>>338816357
Just downloaded this, seems fun. Any general advice before I go in?
On that topic, if anyone is planning on playing Sengoku Rance after reading this thread, always release 5 prisoners at a time. The game will give you an item that raises a character's level by 1 (always give this to Rance) if you do that. If you release 4 prisoners, you get nothing, even if you release 1 prisoner the next time you go to your dungeon.
>>338825220
You need to know at least some Japanese if you want to use machine translators, there's no way you'd be able to decipher some of if not most of the sentences it spits out without it.
>>338801075
How long until disgusting tripfags stop posting on /v/?
>>338825668
If you'd care enough to know "some Japanese", you'd probably care enough to know how shitty machine TL ís.
>>338825660
When you get BEST GIRL and get Gullinbursti. Go full crit, she one shots bosses
>>338825779
Everyone knows how shit machine translators are, I'm just saying it's kinda funny how if you want it to actually be usable you need some Japanese.
I'd like a porn grand strategy game like rance without the forced events and actual freedom and depth.
>>338825836
Or you need to train for years like some Redditors/Fuwafags do.
>>338825895
Not happening.
