You're not allowed to photograph Hamashima.
Albatross Sky Butlers hype!
>>15471724
You'll get Sona-nyl, BL, and Chuablesoft and you'll like it.
No alterations were necessary after all.
Just 35 hours left to get those bets in.
>>15471764
Do we know Degica is only announcing one title?
>>15471803
All we know is that yoshimune is there and it's "not just muv-luv".
>>15471764
Reposting mine.
Praying for you EOPs not getting anything good and/or relevant.
Especially not August.
>>15473118
You again.
>>15473200
Yeah, my wishes stay constant.
>>15473118
I'm wondering whether I, an ESL, should counter-pray that and pretend that I'm a karma or do not bother and keep the neutrality.
>>15473118
wording this tbqh
Is there going to be a stream, or that live transcript thing?
Half expecting only garbage announcements.
27 more hours till panel, isn't it a bit too early for thread?
Granted it doesn't mean much with regards to licensing, but MG had a bunch of Maggot Baits stuff in the images they showed from their AX booth setup.
>>15473433
VNTLS got shitposted to the bump limited and died is why this popped up so early I imagine.
>>15473255
I hope so. I wanna shitpost with /jp/ in real time.
>>15473495
They already said not to go by their merch, because they sell whatever they can get their hands on.
And they already said that they didn't have any plans for Maggot Baits on twitter.
I remember last year when I had high expectations. This time? Fuck them all, we're gonna get average tier stuff and like it. Not me, I'm done.

>Add on panel coverage. I will also be streaming MangaGamer panel on Friday night at 10:45 pm
>>15473953
Until con internet renders those plans moot.
>>15473118
We need to get based moogy in here to put these EOPs in their place desu
>>15471803
>>15471839
From their new Muv Luv Kickstarter update in the part about AX
>and new games to announce!
So it looks like multiple announcements
https://twitter.com/MangaGamer/status/737027605879128064
how many years has it been now since sumaga was announced?
>>15474312
They'd say that right up until they did announce it, so it's not like that means anything.
I'm personally starting to lean eromanga though, since this is lining up right with kouryuu finishing DC3, and eroge continues to be a top seller to this day.
Frontwing's new AX post indicates we will be getting at least some type of announcement from them at AX. Relevant part of the post.
> *Exciting Announcements*
>There will be a video playing at our booth. To see what plans we have in store in the future, come and see for yourself, before everyone else!
If there was any doubt left about chuable soft, Ishida was on the flight with bamboo and is now complaining that he can't sleep because LA hobos are being too noisy rooting through the trash outside his hotel.
>>15474516
Eromanga makes a lot more sense then Maggot Baits. As far as we know, Eorge has done a lot better then euphoria at this point, and Eromanga came out first and has an hanimation. I would expect Maggot to be next year at best and Ero this year.
>>15471764
>Maitetsu
>uncensored
>Sekai Project
Reminder that their co-founder says anyone liking loli should be send in jail. Do you seriously believe he'll allow Maitetsu uncensored?
I can't wait until Maitetsu becomes the meme game of the year and it becomes trendy to be a pedophile.
>>15475136
It's gonna be all age only with all nudity removed though.
The only way MG will sastify me is by announcing a new InnoGrey title.
>>15475136
>>15475142
All-ages and a snore-fest because people will read it for the loli and will drop it because of the huge info dump on TRAINS.
>>15475237
Probably not gonna happen and if they did I'd expect it at Otakon. AX is going to be filled by guest announcements, otome-esque Sona-nyl, and BL. There isn't even room for anything else.
>>15475241
Are train otakus only a thing in Japan?
>>15475278
My father was a model train otaku. At the time of his death, he owned model trains at an estimated value of $50k.
>>15475278
Trains are cool.
>>15475237
>KnS3 simultaneous release in the west and Japannever
>>15475395
The new partners are likely LevoL, a BL company since parade is tapped out at the moment, and Chuablesoft. The existing partners will be Sona-nyl and Ero Manga. The guests and Haro's twitter comments to BL and otome fans just about confirms such a lineup.
>>15475473
Yeah, I forgot about this https://vndb.org/v17376
But still, they may announce it at Otakon
>>15474569
It's gonna be that shitty match-3 game whose name I didn't even bother to remember.
>>15475496
MG mentioned "girly boys" in an interview which makes me think they have such a game planned. If not the BL title, then it could be this trap MC game from Chuablesoft.
https://vndb.org/v12482
I'm in the hall early as a dealer and checked frontwing's booth they're playing baldr heart intro.
>>15475241
Nobody will read it m8. Do you seriously think people are gonna buy a loli VN will all the lolis removed?
>>15475278
No, the game is liked for the lolis. The twitter account mostly advertise the main girl.
>>15475496
>"Watashi ga Suki nara “Suki” tte Itte" is about a protagonist that likes gardening and cooking.
Holy sheet. This is the VN for me.
https://twitter.com/shigeo_h/status/748907125947019264
I want to marry her
>>15475524
>No, the game is liked for the lolis.
Perhaps mainly, but most definitely for trains too. Remember those train ride events the writer held and paid for fans?
Or fans tweeting about trains?
>>15475553
Yeh and the only train ever advertised was the android loli's train.
>>15475565
Yeah, that's the main train appeal, as Hachiroku is the main loli appeal.
Have you played the game? Remember the scenes introducing it and lovingly showcasing it?
>>15473255
>Is there going to be a stream, or that live transcript thing?
While he hasn't mentioned panels he is covering, but our usual live transcript source updated his site indicating he is at AX.
>>15475549
>Shigeo is amazed by all the big-breasted girls in America.
Pretty sure she's a lesbian, but a lesbian with good taste.
She's going to be so fat after she leaves.
>>15475570
Nope, I don't want to be spoiled. I'm going to pirate Sekai's translation though, so I'll eventually get to know.
>>15475584
Then why do you comment on the game and its appeal? Especially when it's clear you wouldn't be able to understand it.
>>15475582
Koihime Musou sequel confirmed? The blonde loli is exclusive to the sequels...
>>15475592
Don't assume their merch is next license. They sell random stuff all the time.
>>15475577
It's California, so everyone is more attractive than other places in the US. Alot of those boobs are probably fake too.
>>15475602
Man disappointing. When I saw this daki, I had my hopes increased. MangaGamer would had won AX if they announced Koihime Musou's sequel.
>>15475615
They can't afford to do Shin Koihime Musou, since last I heard they needed to sell 6,000 full price copies on their website just to break even. Most of Baseson's games are equally as expensive. I'm not even sure a kickstarter would work with how high its goal would have to be to cover the costs. Baseson priced themselves out of the western market.
>>15475336
artist? Tried all the usual methods and searching through artists I thought were similar, came up with nothingI thought it was Milky Holmes when I saw the ribbon
degica announced a VN Maker.
http://vnmaker.degica.com/
>>15475660
At least that is separate from the announcements they plan at AX, as they announced it in their same Muv Luv post that said they had multiple announcements planned for AX.
>>15475650
Kinku
>>15475716
I hate that thing. It's extremely wrong and the numbers change radically as the campaign progresses. Strong start, slow middle, followed by a usual last 48 hour flood.
>>15475733
thanks man
I'll abstain from 4chan as payment
>>15475716
Glad to see they'll make it. Based FW saving VNs
>>15475950
The kigurumi mask is disturbing but wow that's a really nice body.
>>15475577
>landwhale con-goers with """""""big""""""" tits
Eh she was probably being sarcastic
JAST stealth released Sonico O:
>>15475132
No, but it will be nice getting a valid reason to pirate all his games for a decade. Else my poor sense of justice would make me buy stuff.
Visual Arts/Key decided to steal release Tomoyo After as well.
>>15476099
Uh, there was a release date on their website and they did some promo vids on Youtube.
>>15475575
He updated his schedule for today, and indicates we will have a live transcript of MG tonight, so even if the video stream has problems there is a backup.
>>15475516
I hope it is something like まにょっこみのりん or 女装山脈.
>>15475660
Now we can make more OELVN.
>>15476099
Got to remember to pirate that. After all, I own the PS3 version so I'd just avoid paying double.
I think Sona-Nyl and the ChuableSoft title will be announced at Otakon.
Minori announcement will be Supipara release date and +18 patch for max profit.
>>15476023
>not liking mommy milk
Reminder that Hamashima Shigeo did only one character for EroManga! so if they announce a game related to a guest it'll be Fraternite where she did all the characters.
I hope i'm right and the Clockup title isn't Cosscos! because she worked on this one too.
>>15476110
>All ages
>>15476181
According to this >>15474749, Chuablesoft's president is in LA for AX now. Was at the MangaGamer booth just an hour ago, in fact.
One of the new partners is definitely going to be Chuablesoft.
>>15476394
It's great that they took our advice to not go to SP.
>>15476467
I'm waiting for official confirmation but if that really happened, I'm glad he listened to the tweets.
>>15475522
They don't have a panel though do they? I doubt they'd be announcing anything, but that's still pretty interesting.
>>15476273
She's very famous, so even if she had minimal involvement they would still use her to promote Ero Manga. It fits in with MG doing sequels and Kouryuu translated EROGE and now's he free.
>>15475522
They did say they would be showing off what they were doing next as a video in their booth. Baldr Heart wouldn't be a surprise as I'm sure Giga isn't oblivious to the rise of the Western market, and their new Baldr title would probably make more business sense then the two part Baldr Sky.
>>15475660
Can't wait to see AJTilley's abominations in Live2D.
The shit is surreal to even try to imagine.
>>15471425
Living four hours in the future is awful. It means Mangagamer and JAST panel will happen at like 4 pm down here. Can't even watch the streams :(
>>15476827
I mean 3 pm actually
>>15476827
>:(
Back to plebbit you go.
>>15476913

I was in front of the booth waiting to see if I won the most awkward weeaboo dinner of my life, and even the dedicated Keyfags like myself had no idea it was stealth released.
Kazamatsuri apparently had a post on it earlier today and we're surprised as well.
I guess they borrowed marketing tactics from SP after CLANNAD.
Fuck Mangagamer.
>>15478022
Woah dude, rude. At least until after the announcements.
>>15476147
I don't know how likely any of these are since the Witch Boy kickstarter bombed and would make such titles appear undesirable for licensing.
>>15478029
Then you'll just bitch that it's sour grapes. Fuck them now. Fuck them forever.
>>15476181
If they do otome they might do Sakuragatari instead.

Not gonna lie. I would buy 3 copies of Dies Irae if is truth.
WA 2, please.
>>15478333
Lol, you know jackshit about Dies Irae and only base your hype on memers from Twitter and Reddit. And you'd buy 3 copies? How easy to take advantage of are you, sucker?
Even Conjueror, one of the biggest Dies Irae memers, knows you suckers wouldn't handle it.
>>15478346
Jokes on him though, I bought Tokyo Babel.
>>15478346
I know thatI going to buy it, faggot.
Also, I liked Tokyo Babel and yes, I bought it.
>>15478346
Once you pass it through a Conjueror salt filter, you come out with something that's actually praise!

Seems like MG wil start their pannel late again this year...
>>15478563
It's a panel tradition by now, isn't it?
>>15478563
Gotta let people get inside before you start your panel
https://twitter.com/shigeo_h/status/749117679940702213
>>15478598
You realize that's someone intentionally baiting you/him right?
Are you faggots really so antsy that you have to follow a stream chat?
>>15478556
Panel is on, stream is not
Stop arguing with fuwatards and do it the old way
Rance announced!
>>15478620
Stream is working silly.
>>15478620
Stream's up now.
Fuck, I'm afraid some good games will be desecrated by an EOP release.
>we've always named the panel "the now and future of visual novels"
Aside from when it was called "the now and future of bishoujo games"
Who's the fat guy doing translation?
>>15478636
They stole the fat guy from Sekai Project.
Why Bamboo keeps calling MangaGamer "MangaGamers"?
Supipara July 29
Looking forward to seeing supipara finally getting episode 5 in 2030
So is this Supipara thing one of the announcements?
>>15478683
Pre-announcement announcement, according to their twitter.
Whatever gets announced, I probably played it years ago already :^)
At least he admitted that it didn't sell well.
>>15478683
No, but everyone knew it was going to get pimped
>>15478683
They haven't updated their announcement page, but that might not be meaningful.
I wonder if the Japanese hear this they will get mad.
minori talking about pandering to the West. Brave new world.
>>15478687
Supipara 3,4,5 announced to be west-first, JOPs BTFOd.
>>15478694
Why would they? They didn't really care for Supipara.
Lol at this pander to EOPs.
Noone in Japan wanted their bland non-H shit, so now they have to push it for EOPs.
>and we're going to start thinking of different ways to see what games, what titles, what types of genres will sell in the foreign market, and work very closely together with bamboo-san to get more information
And there you go, enjoy more cucked shit faggots. This is how you EOPs ruin the eroge industry.
>>15478694
I don't think so. Supipara sold like shit for a reason.
I wonder if anyone'll stream nbkz's panel
I submitted some questions to that that would be interesting to see answered
VLC quality.
>>15478698
This shit was literally announced years ago, do you guys have the memories of an insect or something
Chuablesoft confirmed.
>>15478719
Pretty much everyone knew that one though.
>>15478701>>15478717
LOL at this buttmad JOP.
Chuable
Well, they were open about wanting EOP cash.
>>15475496
You called it.
>>15478721
Yeah, I'm pretty mad at the possibility of subhuman swines like you ruining eroge industry.
>Hadaka Shitsuji
Awww shiet. Gay Butlers.
Good Haro is ridiculously cute.
>>15478739
Who is the fat guy sitting next to her?
I guess mangagamer's willing to give releasing already translated games another shot?
>>15478741
Kouryuu
>improved features
>>15478739
Not really?
If you were capable of getting into college there is like 200 girls like her
>>15478741
I don't think kouryuu's that fat
>>15478743
It's not like this is new. They did it for ef and Umineko
>>15478745
Cute. And the asian guys are?
I'm surprised no one guessed this despite the fact that haro was raving about it so hard
An otome.
>>15478751
There's only one Good Haro you homosexual.
No Eustia or WA2. mugi lied.
>>15478756
They literally announced them anonymous
You should pay more attention
>two fujoshi VNs
t-thanks good haro.
>>15478758
Protag seems super cute.
>>15478767
I'm late, sorry.
The aboslute madman
Kouryuu's going back into the Circus hell, it seems.
MadRaven and other urusai moebutas should be happy, they are getting tons of moeshit just like they kept begging.
Another two years to translate this.wwwwwwwwww
>>15478769
Fujoshi actually buy games.
lol EOPs expected eustias wa2s and dies iraes
instead you get Dal Cuckno
Last announcement is Rance 01.
maggot baits
Oh shit, it's Maggot Baits
Haha, they fucking did it. Maggot Baits!
Duuno if Good_Haro can see this from her laptop right now, but the Dal Segno's website is 404-ing.
https://youtu.be/MUskdz3LajA
>no Rance.
Why live?
Hi good haro.
>>15478800
Rance wouldn't even be at AX, at least wait for Otakon for one year to pass.
>>15478796
Maggot Baits site has broken images too
>>15478800
Rance'll be otakon if it's announced, like everyone's said forever outboarder.
Good outing for MangaGamer.
How long until Maggot Baits actually comes out?
A game for everybody. It's was pretty good.
Overall better than expected. If minori wants to kill themselves by EOP pander, it's their idiocy.
>no plotge
Well shit
>>15478821
Maggot Baits is plotge.
Any interesting questions so far?
>>15478821
realdeal tards btfo
suck my moebuta chode
>>15478821
No point doing stuff that doesn't sell. I doubt anyone will dare to touch chuunige in next several years after this year fiasco.
>>15478820
Yeah, they can pander to the COPs instead.
>>15478827
>>15478821Hadaka Shitsuji.
>>15478809
But tell me, why Otakon?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10644628
Surprisingly good questions.
>>15478840
AX is traditionally new partners(and guest related this year).
Otakon is big titles from existing partners.
And now a sperglord with a question.
>>15478800
Rance is never getting localised
>>15478845
I didn't knew that. Thanks for the info.
>DS and Maggot Baits' sites got fixed already
Sugar + Spice 3's also has broken images.
>>15478800
Jast can still NTR it tomorrow.
So, its official. /jp/ made Chuablesoft to drop Sekai and go with MangaGamer instead.
We should focus on other possible SP partners and drive dovac out of market now that its proven that it works.
>>15478871
Lose, go go go.
>>15476181
Well, crap. I didn't get even a single one right.
Hope I'll do better with JAST/Sekai shit.
As for the announcements, Good Haro isn't doing any favours to the fujoshit/otome community. lol
Really doubt they'll be happy with Gay Butlers and a random cheap otome.
The other three are right up my alley, especially Maggot Baits. I don't want MG to skip Fraternite though, so they better announce that when they finish with Maggots.
>>15478871
>/jp/ made Chuablesoft to drop Sekai and go with MangaGamer instead
I think it was more a combination of things. We aren't the only place that dislikes SP, other people tweeted the same things to him.
More than anything I think the biggest factor is that ishida ran into bamboo himself at denkigaimatsuri
>>15478881
Fraternite is too dangerous with its transsexual themes. Tumblr wouldn't handle it.
>>15478871
This is funny if true.

>>15478881
No homo, but that Otome looked really good.
>>15478881
What's the issue with Gay Butlers?
Did someone take a photo of Hamashima Shigeo?
>>15478893
I actually want to play it too. Reminds me of Nobuta wo Produce.
>>15478881
With everything else they could do from Clock Up, I dount Fraternite will be on table. There's Eromanga and bunch of non-Hamashima games that are well received. Why should they work on a game that's very unfinished?
>>15478897
The livestream accidentally panned to her at some points, I believe. She's the one beside the speech translator guy, right?
>>15478888
Tumblr hates Hadaka, and they still got it.
>>15478895
It's offended a few people on tumblr, but that doesn't really matter since tumblrina's don't make up the majority of fujos that actually pay money for chinese porn games(mostly because they're usually underage).
>>15478897
Credit goes to anon
>>15478901
>Tumblr hates Hadaka
Why?
>>15478893>>15478898
I've got interested in it too. 18+ Otome is nice sometimes, and it got cute heroine and Haro claims is hilarious, so I'll probably pirate JP version and buy it from MG if I like.
The artist of Eroge!, Euphoria, Fraternite, Maggot Baits and Slave Club is female?
That's kind of hot.
>>15478904
Because it is Starless with homo butlers.
>>15478910
Why pirate a game you can't read?
>>15478904
Anyone who enjoys material with fictional rape is basically a problematic toxic individual who should be purged.
>>15478904
>>15478834
I can't unsee that foot being a hand
>>15478881
Got 1.5 right, with the Chuablesoft title and a Clock-up game (was thinking it might have been Eromanga instead). Hadaka Shitsuji's pretty infamous, Bocchi Musume looks adorable and Dal Segno came out of nowhere (thought it would be a minori title or Sona-nyl).
Therefore, extremely satisfied with the outcome.
Big change from last year for MangaGamer in terms of their future aim, AX last year had 4 titles, 3 were 18+, while Otakon had 5 titles, 2 were 18+ (and one of them was Kindred Spirits). This year for AX, all 5 were 18+.
>>15478927
The hand is being stepped upon.
>>15478920
>you can't read?
Joke's on you pal.
>>15478933
There's also the supipara release date, which puts me at 3 points so far
