I like Wanko.
EOPs getting keked out of their own general again.
>>123089090
no just ignoring the /jp/ retards
Is SubaHibi actually still being worked on, or did Herkz drop it and Kirby doesn't want to say anything because he's afraid of upsetting the cartel?
>>123092578
at this point they have to be in talks with a publisher to see if they can get picked up and be an official release.
Why the delay otherwise?
>>123092694
It is a bit odd how silent everyone went on it so suddenly, when before it was constant updates with every sign it was very close to release. I wouldn't be surprised if you were right.
>>123092578
Dude, herkz is working day and night on Subahibi. I don't think he' had more than 3 hours of sleep a night for the last couple of months. He's the most devoted worker I know.
I'm having trouble with Bunny Black. I think I've figured out most of the systems and whatnot, but I'm just getting absolutely destroyed in battles and my party members are almost all useless. What am I doing wrong?
>>123092864
Put the MC in the front, and only him. Focus on the skill that gives more defense and hp. Basically make him a tank so you can reduce the cost for reviving monsters.
Also let him learn all the healing spells and shit.
>>123092864
If you're at the point where you're seeing a ton of yellow encounters with strong mobs everywhere, this is a story related event and they go away soon. Just run from them for now.
>>123093187
I haven't actually leveled up yet. I've only seen a couple fights where I can actually kill them without having to immediately go home and heal after. Not the most practical way to grind.
>>123093615
If you haven't been grinding in the beginning then you might have fucked up because of this >>123093548
You can't grind properly because of the yellow mobs but you can't advance the story to get rid of them because you're too weak. The start of the game is the easiest time to grind since the maps are small so you can stay there for a long time and when things become bad you can easily find the exit.
>>123086906
To the Anon that asked how we know how good Maggot Baits is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNK7WZRVZtQ
Look how fucking edgy this video is. In all honesty though, I am so fucking excited for it. Also, I consider Clockup to be the best hentai VN developer. They pretty much consistently make AAA games. Hopefully soon we'll get Ero Manga translated, along with a lot of their other games.
>>123094361
>lots and lots of black bar rape in the YouTube trailer
Alriiiight. Looks like the average torture porn nukige, though.
>>123094361
Maggot baits name is so fucking edgy by itself desu. It reminds me of those old disturbing italian horror movies.
>>123094361
Even the music is edgy!
I can't stop listening to subahibi EDs someone please help me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjQx4sI8bdY
>>123094159
>You can't grind properly because of the yellow mobs but you can't advance the story to get rid of them because you're too weak
I thought you were just supposed to avoid them and do easy missions until they fuck off. Just do stuff like cleaning graffiti or whatever.
>>123095023
here, more censored youtube rape for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve1R55x_p3k
>>123095023
Sure. As average as Nukige torture porn is, this one is made by Clockup. They have a pretty good track record with their shit. Also, Fraternite was not that bad.
>>123095546
Pretty sure it was because theprincess was kidnappedand once you meet her then they leave.
>>123095750
>Deputy badge over her Pussy.
This made me laugh way too much.
>>123095921
I don't even remember meeting her at all, I think it's just based on a certain number of missions
ohaaaa /vg/
>>123096267
Why are you posting a VN only you can read?
>>123096267
These japanese houses look really big, I thought the japanese lived in closet-sized rooms?
The more I got into a girl's route in Rewrite the less I like them.
>>123096267
Well, big open rooms are a symbol of wealth actually. Some clearly has cash-money.
This is the professional environment Sekai is using to repack backer goods for Grisaia. What a fucking joke.
>>123097272
>they are not in a sterile warehouse
I shit on SP as much as the next guy, but who cares as long as the product is delivered in the end in perfect condition?
Ok, quick question.
Which VN should I read next between these? I have on my pc
-Chaos; Head
-Da Capo
-Divi-Dead
-Remember 11
-Tsukihime
-Yu-No
if you wanna, rank them from top to least
>>123097483
Divi-Dead is the only decent one in that list desu.
>>123097402
It looks like they just shipped em to someone's house and processed them there. That probably is what they actually did. Absolutely no professionalism.
>>123097272
Yeah, this is fucking crazy. Why is he not in a warehouse that's pressurized and sterilized? He better be wearing a full hazmat suit to ensure that those products aren't messed up.
Time to boycott.
>>123097483
Wait for the Tsukihime remake dude, it won't have those filthy H-scenes.
>>123097483
Drop Capo, Divi, Tsukihime, YUNO. Those are pretty bad.
Flip a coin for Chaos Head or Remember 11.
>>123097483
Yu-no.
>>123097683
You're an idiot.
>>123097483
1 - Yu-No
2 - Da Capo
3 - Tsukihime
4 - Chaos; Head (dropped)
? - Divi-Dead
? - Remember 11
>>123097815
Why are you posting a VN only you can read?
>>123097483
Legit shit tier:
Da Capo
Unfinished tier:
Chaos Head
Remember 11
Pretty good tier:
The rest

>>123097929
>>123097967
Thanks a lot for your advices guys.
I'm a newfag about VNs (red about 10 of them), so I'm open to any different suggestion if you have them
>>123097483
Tsukihime is a must-read for anybody
Rest are bad to meh
>>123098387
Read the recommendation chart, most VNs on it are better than the ones you listed.
>>123098159
Those are some cute girls.
>>123098387
Disregard the second one.
That Tsukihime remake won't come any time soon, so just read it.
>>123098159
Why is the blue-haired one so badly drawn?
>>123098803
Just your typical DI art. I mean look at this disgusting shit.
>>123098448
> newbie makes a list
> "check the recommendation chart, there are better VNs

Do you even read posts of other users before shouting this kind of shit?
Interesting.

Do you read posts before responding to them, retard?
>>123099589
do you english?
>>123098448
Hi, I'm still the one who asked about an advice.
Honestly I tried some of the VNs in the chart and I
- Really loved Fate
- Found interesting Saya no Uta
- Found boring Kana Little Sister, and REALLY boring Yume Miru Kusuri
So probably I have different tastes from the author of the recommendation chart
>>123099992
Go read Tsukihime then.
>>123099930
who need english when all vn is in japanese
>>123099992
>I liked some and didn't like others
So..? Look at the descriptions and check out stuff you find interesting.
>>123099992
You won't like Da Capo then. Yu-No and Tsukihime seems like your best options.
>>123098448
>>123100375
>>123099589
Whoa... I bet you are a real pain in the ass in real life.
No wonder your maximum achievement in your life is to play the alpha giving irritating answers to noobs on 4chan... well done mate, living the dream !
>>123100973
Go back to Reddit.
>>123100973
You reek of new, do something about it.
>>123100973
Those are all reasonable responses, how much of a sheltered crybaby can you be?
>>123101734
THis is /jp/? That explains all the untranslated screenshits
>>123101321
> a sheltered crybaby
So it said the crybaby who pretend to be 3 different people posting each minutes
Your need of attention is somewhat filled by seeing a (You) on the screen?
/jp/へようこそ!
>>123102354
Why are you posting a VN only you can read?

goddamn that art is so disgusting
i just threw up in my mouth a little
>>123092819
I always see him ranting on stuff and people on Twitter, my opinion of him is low just because I've never seen him do anything other than ranting
>>123102518
Maybe you forgot to turn on the screen.
>>123097483
YUNO is pretty good, give it a shot.
What are you guys reading?
Why don't you faggots read a real novel? Or play a real game? I feel sorry for you wasting your time on these mediocre dating simulators.
>>123104781
VNs are better.
>>123104781
because neither does the fluffy cuteness the way VNs can do.
>>123104942
Why are you posting a VN only monkeys can understand?
>>123104781
If we, including you, have enough to be shitposting on 4chan, then we aren't really wasting time.
>>123104781
>real novel
All trash.
>>123105314

>>123092694
If that were true then the partial would have been pulled from tlwiki. I think it was mentioned at some point that kirby was re-translating some scenes. Or maybe it's just being delayed for fun. Who cares?
>>123105619
All trash. Even Scaji is better than those idiots and he's a talentless hack.

How good is Shikkoku no Sharnoth? A friend recommended it to me but he does have kinda shit taste.

>>123106438

>>123106438

>>123105706
As soon as they pull the partial they show their hand though. Could be the deal isn't finalized yet and they don't want to spook the publisher by starting rumours
Is Rewrite worth finishing? I already completed 2 routes and some anons told me the Terra route is worth completing, but I'm having my doubts.
>>123107106
which 2 routes did you complete?
>>123107106
Yeah, Rewrite is great, but if you're disliking it now, it's probably best you put it down. Which routes have you done? Kotori and the black-haired girl's routes are pretty shitty.
>>123107568

>>123108234
>Lucia's route is trash
>>123108234
Is that what her name was? I knew it started with L.
>>123108234
Which would make him a moebuta manchild as well.

Where in my post did I imply that it wasn't trash?
>>123107568
>>123107361
I completed Kotori's and Lucia's route.
The more I read the more I hated them.

/vn/ can't into tech
>>123110707
This is painfully true, I still can't install MajikoiS
>>123110828
what exactly is the problem you are having with it?
>>123111085
When I try to install it a windows pop ups saying something about config.html
>>123110828
are you using daemon tools to mount the images?
>>123111243
maybe you are missing some files from the download
>>123108706
sasuga ryukishi07
>>123111335
Yes
>>123111335
What? No, I just use my hand. There's technology that allows you to mount images? Is it like Oculus Rift? Sounds fucking great. I'll check it out, thanks.
Are there any visual novels you've played which you keep thinking about even though its been months since you completed them? Cross channel has turned into this for me. I just can't get Miki's"Even though I loved you..."out of my mind, which is driving me crazy because she's my most hated fictional character along with Griffith.
>>123112030
MLA since it was the first one I played.
>>123112030
C+C art is legit bad.
>>123113220

I know, right.
Why won't anyone translate Aiyoku No Eustia?
>>123113429
Give me a few years to learn japanese and I'll translate it myself.
>>123111534
i can upload a disc i made to mega if you want, can't say it'll fix your problem though.
>>123111923
i refuse to use daemon tools because it's a bloated piece of trash, i use virtual clone drive instead but it doesn't read .cdi image files so i had to convert the majikoiS files to read them.
not that anyone here knows wtf i'm talking about.
>>123113220
At least the girls look cuter than ones with Key art.
>>123113368
Why is this a thing now?
>>123114857
Likely the autist who was butthurt and made a fool out of himself in the original argument. His way of getting "revenge" is turning it into a joke.
>Majikoi A-1 - 64%
Awwww yeee
>>123117148
This is going awfully fast, it worries me that the quality will drop.
>>123117358
Its MT TL just like S was, and i thought that S was good considering it.
>>123117531
Yeah me too. S was a fun read despite it being machine translated.
>>123118069
Just like Clephas - a god amongst men - experiences VNs. Be proud. Be snyde. You're reading Japanese now.
>>123092578
>>123092694
Subahibi isn't the kind of VN to be officially licensed and you know it. It's either delayed for fun or it was a lie since the beginning and there is nothing more than the partial patch.
Just forget about it please. Let's talk about Sakura no Uta the new KAMIGE.
>>123102518
Better than Dies Irae at least.
>>123118780
Dies irae looks like an anime without the animation. In other words,shit.
>>123113429
Conjueror said that a japanese company approached him to translate a VN with a score above 80 on EGS so maybe it's Eustia ?
>>123118069
S wasn't full MT'd.
>>123119067
He also said he was reading it, so chances are it's not a game he's played before. There's also a fair number of games on EGS with a 80+ score.
>>123119784
Oh, boy.
>>123121124
Why are you tilting a VN no one wants to read? Tilting it won't improve
>that anime shading
>that bloom to hide the lack of detail
>>123119367
>>123121124
That's some extreme tilt.
>>123121312
But i want to read it, and im hoping Chuee and his crew actually finish it up sometime next year, or that the project wont go the way of Subameme or Koichoho
>>123121312
Heh. Everyone wants to read this VN.
>>123121463
Small chance of something like that happening.
Have any of you guys played the My Girlfriend is The President vn? I ask because I've been thinking about writing a game of a similar nature that features the generals from the American Civil War as kawaii schoolgirls. It takes place at Westu Pointo Military Academy. Some characters would be, a morally uptight Stonewall Jackson, An energetic Custer, a vain Stuart, a calm and caring Lee wanting to help the MC reach his peak potential, a Grant who appears calm on the outside but deep down is faced with a lot of demons the MC helps her overcome, I guess a no nonsense Sherman, and I don't know, a yandere Forrest? I know it sounds weird but I think with a lot of polish it could work.
>>123122068
Will it feature a scene where you rape a woman pressed up against a cactus?
How does one make the transition from visual novels to real novels? I've never read a real book and they seem kind of hard to get into, with the variety, depth and whatnot. Also the front page of /lit/ is all very old bearded man instead of cute anime girls.
Kind of off topic but I thought you guys would be the best to ask.
>>123122345
Maybe, probably, yes.
>>123122487
Just read books that are basically anime, like wheel of time.
>>123122487
Just find a book that sounds interesting to you and go read it. It shouldn't be that hard.
>>123122487
Just put on an audiobook while you jerk off to cute girls. Literally the same experience.
>>123122487
>I've never read a real book
Not even for school?
>>123122487
Good fucking god, man. Sounds like the young adult fiction would be right up your alley - start off with that and then move your way up.
>>123122487
>I've never read a real book
The hell is wrong with you?
>>123122578
>>123122581
I've gone through a couple of descriptions but for some reason none seem to click. I don't like most of that high fantasy stuff with elves and other "typical" Western books that seem to be very popular. A lot of the stuff just feels very disconnected from my interests and I'm not sure what genre to browse, like if I really liked Cross Channel, what book would I like? That kind of stuff. Maybe I should read something Japanese to feel closer at home culturally.
>>123122804
Picture related is the only one I remember.
>>123123071
B-But I'm a big boy. I don't really want to dumb down material and get to the real meat.
Maybe you guys can throw something in my direction to look at if I tell you about my VN taste?
>>123124373
>Maybe you guys can throw something in my direction to look at if I tell you about my VN taste?
Go for it.
>>123124373
Post your top ten VNs in order.
>>123124373
Most VNs qualify as young adult fiction, dude. If you jump into the adult fiction section, you'll fall over and smash both of your kneecaps.
>>123124765
>Most VNs qualify as young adult fiction
Most pretentious post I've seen all week.
>>123109687
So how well would you say you understand the language in terms of reading?
>>123125061
>they don't
Dumbest thing I've heard this month.
The funny thing is that there is more creativity in young adult fiction and VNs than in actual contemporary literature these days
>>123124373
You should acclimate yourself with something fast paced and constantly entertaining like Catch-22 before jumping into the fray
>>123124373
Try reading Crusade in Jeans
It's very anime-esque
>>123124630
>>123124668
I guess I really like VNs where a "theme" is set and throughout the game it's played off of. Especially when it really comes together in the end. Big examples of this were C+C, F/SN and Sharin no Kuni.
For setting I tend to prefer modern settings. I have a hard time inserting myself into a fantasy world in sixteen hundred or whatever where people are riding horses and fighting with swords.
Non-VN related but I am a big fan of Ikuharas works and I also liked Romeos Humanity Has Declined.
>>123124765
Is that really so? The term always sounded to me like it'd target teens and people who read things like Twilight. I guess not all are equal.
>>123125851
>The funny thing is that there is more creativity in young adult fiction and VNs than in actual contemporary literature these days
Sounds interesting, mind elaborating further?
>>123126524
>Sounds interesting, mind elaborating further?
There is nothing to elaborate, good stuff can really only be produced with a true creative freedom.
The literature world is governed by other force these days, like didn't you see all the talks about the novel called City on Fire in the past few months, not because it was good or whatever but simply because the publisher bought its rights for 2 millions?
Both young novels and VNs are getting more and more standardized these days too though, for VNs the golden age of creative freedom was the 00's and young adult novels have been far too influenced by the few female oriented smash hit in the past few years
>>123126524
Try John Green. His stuff is pretty overtly direct, and it's mostly the type of slice of life high school stuff you get in anime.
You might also like Steinbeck. He's similar in his directness, but his stuff is set mostly in the 20's, and it tends to deal more with societal issues than the issues of a single person. I'd start with Of Mice and Men just to get a taste. It's pretty short and it's a good introduction to Steinbeck's usual themes and settings.
>The term always sounded to me like it'd target teens and people who read things like Twilight. I guess not all are equal.
You're not wrong with the Twilight comparison, but there are a lot of different things that are considered YA. In general it's just stuff that isn't particularly hard to read.
>>123126524
Young adult is a lot of teenage stuff or stuff that isn't particularly complex and hard to read. Rewrite, Fate, G-Senjou, Majikoi et cetera - all examples of young adult fiction.

It has sex in it! And gay stuff even!
>>123096267
Come to think of it, the treatment of Shizuku post A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs was pretty weird too.
In Epitaphs, pretty muchno new events happen, it just explains what happened with Shizuku at two points in the past.She doesn't need to fall in love with Naoya, she already loves him, since he sacrificed so much to save her.But then inHappy Prince and Other Tales, she kinda ignores him, even though the mentioned past events did still happen and it's safe to presume she still loves Naoya.
Okay, I know it's needed to to be like that to advance the story, but it still feels little weird. It's the price Sca-ji pays for wanting to tell a story with chronology like that.
>>123128296
>>123128793
Thanks, I'll check them out.
My problem was probably just with the term itself, "Young adult", it implies that with age one will outgrow them or lose interest in the themes within them, which isn't necessarily the case. I'll look at some in this category as well.
Is Akane's route the same size as other girls? Only read Kotori's route a year ago, and Akane was the only one slightly interesting
>>123129851
Kotori's route was probably the worst by far. Every other girl has a better route, even Lucia.
Here's the official Rewrite tier list:
Akane>Chihaya (More accurately, Sakuya)>Shizune>Lucia>Kotori.
Anybody that tries to tell you otherwise is a liar and probably working for the Jews.
>>123130283
I believe you
Her route being shit is the reason I dropped it after that. I didn't necessarily dislike Kotori, but her route's story was just too retarded for me to care
>>123131005
Lucia's was retarded too
I wish Ti9 senpai would notice me
Any more VNs where a girl is forced to defecate on camera?
>>123132789
https://vndb.org/v12611
>>123132789
besides Euphoria?
Any VNs with a good fuck buddies => pure love route? (Don't mention the one from Konosora, that is a good example of a BAD one.)
>>123133063
Iede Girl is the epitome of this concept.
Don't you hate it when you're playing a VN and they blatantly reuse the same shit for every route, like for example no matter which girl you choose you always go out on a date to the same place, or eat in the same restaurant... I hate it
>>123133316
No, I love it.
>>123132789

Class Rep, it's an optional scene wheree she lose a bet against Takeru and as a penalty game has to shit in the middle of a public street while he record
I finally could install MajikoiS. I feel even more retarded now.
>>123134195
WTF
>>123133587
well not really, I just meant the scene where Takeru walks in on Sumika takin a dump
>>123133936
so what was the cause of your problem in the end?
>>123135004
Can you hear farting and splashing sounds as she desperately tries to hold it in but can't?
>>123133316
that laziness in my eyes is the one thing all VNs could work on. Hell even if its the same scene but from a different perspective, it would still be better then using the same shit over and over.
>>123135219
Me being retarded and just changing the region and not the language.
>>123135237
No, also I think she was just peeing too.

How the fuck do I change the date thing in MajikoiS? I thought it was asking about today's date.
>>123139664
Oh lawd, the fuckups just keep on piling up.
It will most likely be in the registry, which means you either need to find the exact key and edit it, or uninstall the game, clear the registry of related entries, and try it again.

When you cut lizard's tail, it grows back. But there are also lizards whose tails don't grow back. So what if there are humans whose limbs grow back? The protagonist wants to satisfy his curiosity about this.

Oh, I thought it was going to be released on the 23rd.

So I just finished 999 and I really enjoyed it. Though since it's still fresh ingrained to my head, I can't bring myself mentally to try and squeeze out any plotholes on my own. I heard the reception with 999 was very half and half, either because people didn't like some of the twists or because there were things genuinely wrong with it.
In either case, I want to hear them now since it's a little frustrating being unable to figure this out on my own, but what were the story problems people found with that game?

Best way to self learn jap?
I think it's about time after tons of VN's 350+ anime, and listening mainly to jpop/jrock/vocaloid shit for the 4 years that I finally just fucking learn it.
I tried years ago and forgot all the 1/23rd hirgana rows by the time I got to the 5th row. Feel like I'm in a better place with my life now that I can actually dedicate time to it instead ofworrying if I was going to be homeless since I was hardcore neetlyfe

You a wageslave now?
>>123171574
Don't bother, it's a waste of time. Everything good gets translated anyways.
>>123171662
yeah, shit sucks, but I feel I can appreciate the time dedicated to something like learning jap as opposed to when I was being a useless piece of shit and going "well I can always do it tomorrow"
>>123171751
I know, it's more of a "I want to learn something that I enjoy" thing than a "if I learn jap I can watch raws/read untrans stuff!"

What's the status on it so far?
>>123178406
Who said it was getting translated?
>>123178589
I was browsing a thread somewhere and I picked up this webm. The poster said it almost had a complete translation on /vg/, and I assumed it'd be on /vn/.
>>123178406
If it's not translated it's trash. If it's in the process of getting translated it's schrödinger's trash until completion. Ergo, nobody wants to read that trash.
>>123178830
No, it's not. Go to /hgg/, they should know.

Planetarium
Clannad
Steins;Gate

My Girlfriend Is the President
Katawa Shoujo

>>123185976
*Clephas sighs*
>>123185976
He right though, better starts with VNs with low production values first or you won't be able to stand the art if you come back to DI.Better get it over with quickly. That's like going to Baldr Force after reading Baldr Sky, except it applies to 99% of all VNs.
>>123186068

It's shit.
Also IMHHW has shit a translation. I think I'll wait till the fix.

90% of S is sex scenes. It's really not that good compared to the first one.
>>123186359
But it good. Some of the best build up in a romance related VN, has an interesting story and loads-a-cute.

quality writing.
or quality translation.
I wonder how good is the new Clannad translation.
>>123194637
it's shit
>>123193267
The only thing the kickstarter mentions about after-story is re-translating it along with everything else, so unless there's some major over haul to the script I'm unaware of it's probably as is.
>>123195280
If they said in their kickstarter that they were re-translating everything, and it can be demonstrated that they did not retranslate anything, can they be sued? Pretty sketchy people.
>>123195362
There are screenshots on the steam page, those could be compared to the fan translation for the time being.
>>123195362
Presumably by the original fan translator yes.
As a consumer you can probably only ask for a refund.
>>123195362
It depends. A lot of these projects are done by licensing the original fan translations somehow. If it was used without permission, however, they could be sued in theory but the problem is fan translations are on sketchy legal grounds to begin with so it may not even go to courts.
>>123195362
You could do a class-action suit or something if they refused to offer refunds to people who donated to KS.
>>123195750
>the problem is fan translations are on sketchy legal grounds to begin with
Not really. In America and Canada translations fall under derivative work which is legal. The only thing that's not allowed is them distributing the game for free/profit. They can only distribute the translation.
>>123195750
No actually translations are 100 percent legal. You're only in trouble if you packaged the game with it. If a fan translator, particularly Clannad's Ftranslators, doesn't know that and believes what you said, they would easily have been "blackmail'd" into providing their translation and presumably re-working it also. Since they allegedly have re-translated everything, I would assume this is not the case.
>>123196075
>>123196569
Oh yea you guys are right. It's been so long since I looked it up but I forgot that translations are considered derivative work.
>>123196569
This is for the US copyright law.
Copyright law, Chapter 1, section 106
>Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:
>[...]
>(2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;
Which means if I publish something, like a book, then the copyright holder has exclusive rights to translate it, which is a derivative work.
But it can also fall under the fair use law. It's not 100% legal since it's in the gray area.

>>123197289

>>123098159
I remember when the DI anime was announced and I was still in the middle of reading it, anxious wether or not I'd finish it in time before it aired. Anime production sure takes long.
Fan translators should start relying on Patreon or something along those lines. Technically, it's not profiting directly off of copyrighted work.
>eventually paid as well/more than professional translators
>free of licensing restrictions, can choose literally anything in his skill range
>can tell publishers who want to purchase the translations to go fuck themselves
>the complete patches will still circulate on the net when and if they receieve a cease and desist letter
>can use some of the funds to hire hackers and image editors to speed things up
I think it would work, given that the translator in question is talented and makes it a full-time job. Partial patches, public QA and so on could be made available to the contributors, as well as a promise not to sell the scripts to anyone. He'd have to have a bunch of quality projects behind him to get the initial support, though.This will only happen in Imagination Land.

Anyone think Euphoria will beat Clannad in Steam sales?
>>123200517
The problem is that "technically" only works if you're willing to go to court to defend your claim. Certainly it won't be good enough for the third party service that is collecting your payments, they'll drop you at the first sign of trouble because they absolutely want no part of any liability you might be stirring up. Same goes for Kickstarter. You can defend it as fair use or whatever all you like, but they are not interested in taking the risk by siding with you.
>>123201969
Does MG post their sales number?
>>123202417
Not usually, though sometimes they make vague comments about it on Twitter/blogs. (Or rather various employees do, usually not phrased as official MG announcements.)
>>123199774
>DI anime
Has there been any news about it?
>>123202149
It's no different than current translators getting donations from the community for their work through Paypal. No action would be taken against anyone using Patreon as a donation platform. The income would have nothing to do with the third parties. The only trouble that could arise would be if you didn't want to sell off your work, in which case you'd likely get a cease and desist order, which you'd comply with and move on.
>>123202886
As soon as one person complains, Patreon would lock up your account and not let you do it any more. I doubt they'd give a shit even if you said you're not profiting directly from it.
>>123202824
Haven't really looked into it, but I think it's supposed to air 2016 after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwjj6EazvT0 gets released. I hope it has some decent animated fights at least.

>>123202967
Of course they would, otherwise it'd damage Patreon's integrity, causing an outrage they don't want. Fan translators on Patreon is not a new thing. You have everything ranging from retro video game translations to manga and anime, and they all post full, copyrighted content right on their pages for their patreons.

What are you basing that statement off of?
>>123212207
When the kikestarter happened, they said they weren't going to touch the translation at all until everybody flipped their shit and they said they might touch it up a bit. At best they gave it a once-over for any red squiggly lines.
>>123212330
So you're just making shit up to fit your narrative, okay.
Come back when you have actual evidence to prove your point.

>>123214058
They don't make any money off sakura shit anymore. They split off with the developers and the developers are now self publishing their games.
>>123186382
That's surprising, because I felt like S' sex scenes were much shorter than Majikoi's. Felt like Yamato always came at least 3 or 4 times a scene in Majikoi.
>>123214316
It probably has something to do with the fact that they're pulling in 13k a month off of Patreon alone.

The steam translation looks way better than the fan one, I'm actually impressed.
>>123218783
Good, it definitely should be better considering they're asking $50 for it.
>>123218783
It's quite well known that the fan translation was trash.
>>123218783
As far as I can tell that's just editing. Like, they went through the existing TL and edited it. I don't see any information at all in the new translation that didn't exist in the fan translation. It's obviously better but it's not a new translation, I think. One problem availing all of the vn community is the tendency to consider a translation the same as the editing which leads to errors in understanding, I think. Of course, we refer to the finished product as a "translation", so that's bound to happen.
Also, I think this video is 100% an alright, not great, but alright example of how writing is so important to the quality of a VN, even if a fan TL roughly captures the meaning it's far less enjoyable to read than just a smoothly written TL.
>>123219301
>As far as I can tell that's just editing. Like, they went through the existing TL and edited it
While that's possible, it'd be hard to tell for sure. The issue is that it's still the same source material so unless one side took major liberties with their translation, both are bound to be very similar.
>>123202886
If someone complains to Paypal they'll halt your donations and freeze your account as well. You're taking money for what's effectively illegal, but just not enforced most of the time.
>>123219663
The wording seems suspiciously similar for it to be a fully new translation I think.
Though I'm impressed they even edited it to the extent they did. I didn't expect it of them.
It's fuckn surreal having all these VNs going to steam, i remember waiting month after month for the original clannad translation such as it was, now it's being put on steam for a whole new existence.normies, reee.
>>123218783
I have nothing better to do so I started up the game to compare since I had it on my drive anyway.
The fan translation is more literal and follows the exact words used a lot more. The steam version is more of a rewrite.
In the pic, the Japanese version specifically uses the verb "stained", and the expression "a place stained with memories I want to forget". The fan TL is a complete 1:1, and honestly I like the expression "stained with memories" a lot more than "too many memories here".
>inb4 why do you post something that only you can understand
>>123219663
I translate some stuff. It's a fact of life that I cut out tiny bits of information, and add tiny bits of information, just about every line. Every line is a personal interaction where I process the line, understand it through my subjective lens, and then subjectively choose how to best word it in English. On the other hand, this is very clearly just edited. No new information at all. No different perspectives, no different interpretations. It's not bad that they did this. It's just definitely not a new translation and should not be treated as such.
>>123219864
>The steam version is more of a rewrite.
A rewrite of the fan tl
>>123219864
Seems like the original translation is a lot better than the new one.
>>123220319
You can't say that just by looking at one fucking picture
>>123220449
Agreed, it's more about the flow of the lines rather than analyzing any single line in particular, which good editing can improve.

"one fucking picture"
I don't care how great the story in clannad is, i wont play it simply for the fact that the art looks hilariously bad. for 50$ the least they could have done was do the higurashi treatment and remove the ayylmao/UGUUUUU faces.
>>123222645
Exactly, they should have had a stretch goal in the Muv Luv kickstarter to redraw all that awful hair.
>>123222645
I thought this too at first, but the art style can really grow on you.
>>123222801
the obnoxious hair i can tolerate, but when the faces of all the characters look like some lab abominations i just cant get into the story thats being told.
Key games all have such great writing and humour that the art, while an obstacle, becomes well worth getting over. Though, if one doesn't actually give a duck about Visual Novels, and just wants waifu simulators and pretty girls, then feel no need to read Clannad.
>>123222645
This would be a really bad move. Clannad's art is one of its most iconic characteristics, because normalfags know about Clannad thanks to the anime.
>>123223181
If I didn't care about the visuals then I wouldn't be playing a VISUAL novel. Duh.
>>123223297
Genetic fallacy, babe. Look it up.
>>123223430
Would you want to read a great book, something like Lord of the Rings, printed in an ugly font? I mean, the font, while an obstacle, becomes well worth getting over.
>>123223950
I read an old copy of Crime and Punishment which had really thick ink and smudged a lot of words that was hard to read, so in short, yes I would. I would consider someone not reading a book purely due to the font (assuming the book was only available in one font somehow) fairly shallow.

>What about a movie with shit acting but still a good story?
Yeah probably. If I like the movie I'll watch it and shit acting doesn't usually interfere with that.

I know that all too well. A decade ago when I first read Clannad I had no idea what's a nakige and expected some cute girls doing cute things. The feels caught me way off guard, especially Tomoyo's route.
>>123224809
That's really shallow, onii-chan.
We're biologically engineered to be repulsed by shit
A better example is, would you eat a lintels sandwich with great bread and toppings even if you didn't like lintels, or a X sandwich with great bread and toppings if you didn't really like X. And yeah, I would, because I can get over myself, and even then that's really far removed from the actual question of not over-reacting to art

It's a new meme. The guy clearly doesn't know people value things differently.
>>123226262
Nuh uh. The question was whether you'd be willing to overlook something bad. In short, put aside appearance (sprite art). Is not being wiling to put aside appearances not the quintessential example of being shallow?
>>123223181
I dunno if I'd go that far to say key has great writing. It has decent writing, but great? I dunno man.
>>123226493
Stop being shallow.
>>123226493
I call it great simply because I think it is. I read it and thought it was a cut above other things I had read. So, great is the word I used.
>>123226550
You're just making yourself look immature but I mean feel free to keep doing so. The more you do the less people take you seriously.
>>123226726

>>123222502
It's just that the scenes are untranslated right? You should be able to understand most of it anyway if they're voiced.
>>123226726
Well obviously based on your opinion yes you would. I dunno though, I just really don't see what's so standout about it. Maybe I had to have play it back when it first released, but the market has so much nakige with solid writers now.
>>123227194
What makes me consider Key games to be great is how seamlessly the humour is infused... how effortlessly an atmosphere is created... I think by the end of the games the drama and characters kind of frazzle out, but the writing is still great, in my opinion, simply due to the atmosphere and humour. Key games make me laugh like few other games, and key games have such a cozy atmosphere... definitely great, to me.

I doubt most people that bought T2T2 had ever played the first game. It was pretty obscure. Also Uta2 has an anime adaptation which works in its favor here, and we also got that Dungeon Travelers game that sold pretty well
>>123229315
I actually adopted the same attitude when the Higurashi anime was airing, "I'll just wait for the VN to be translated"
It was nice going into it unspoiled.
How would you order the routes in MajiKoi?
Chris' route was the least enjoyable for me. Momoyo and Yukie was a fun read but Miyako's route was a bit disappointing. Wanko's route was the best.
>>123229219
The first Tears to Tiara was just a fan TL, and that series is much less well known than Utaware. The anime was fairly popular back in its day as well. while TtT isn't really. Besides, the first VN wasn't that good in the first place.
>>123229315
Well, Atlus decides to pick it up, it'll be announced in a few months and released after a year. Same exact thing with Tears to Tiara 2. This isn't JAST we're talking about.
>>123229458
Yeah, I think I'll wait a few months to see if an announcement is made, if not I can always marathon the anime at my leisure later if I care to.
the steam translation is actually good, I'd still reccommend pirating it because $50 for a decade old game is a rip off

What's so good about it anyway? Apparently it grossed 100 million yen already, which is insane for a small budget work.
>>123233087
A broken girl falls hopelessly in love with you. Pure vanilla. Good art.
>>123233087
There is no filler in the story and it's very short, so it gives you a rather concentrated dose of feels. It's just a great experience if you're into savior fantasies.
The amount of H scenes in MajikoiS it's starting to get annoying.
>>123229684
I don't know how this hasn't happened yet. How hard can this be? I bet it uses the simple form of CEG that is crackable in minutes by anyone who knows what they're doing.
>>123233357
its mainly the continuation routes.
The new character routes feel like the routes from Vanilla.
>>123233357
S decided to go full nukige outside of a couple routes, for better or worse.
>>123233463
People don't bother for small releases. Kara no Shoujo 2 DRM was trivial and it still took several days after the download was posted online for someone to make a torrent with crack.
There's still tons of Steam indie games that have no torrents or they're outdaed.
>>123233270
It has an ending?
>>123233589
The game doesn't end, but by the time you run out of scenes and max happiness it's already technically a happy end.
>>123233463
isnt it supposedly drm free

I feel like a kid that ate way too much candy, it's starting to repulse me a little bit

What route have you enjoyed most so far
>>123233878
Yeah it's kind of killed my interest for a couple weeks so i had to break before i could just work up the interest to finish it. Pretty sure A dials it back, which is very nice.
>>123233991
I have been doing the continuation routes, I liked Agave After the most because Gen-san is a real bro
>>123233704
That was just the physical version, that one will have no DRM. CEG is Steam's built-in DRM system that's free to use. Most devs choose to use it because Steam's offline mode works pretty well these days and most people don't seem to care. I'd be surprised if SP didn't use it, they made no promises as to the digital version's DRM.
>>123234127
The after routes are all pretty much your typical fandisc after stories full of porn. That's the entire point of those routes. The Kokoro and Margit routes are also porn-heavy. Tsubame, the loli whose name I forgot, and Koyuki routes are all pretty much like normal Majikoi routes.
That's one sexy hospital gown.
>>123234371
>fandisc
Don't forget that this is Majikoi Sequel though
Unvoiced male side characters is like a huge glaring flaw in some VNs. They have like 10 lines, just pay some dude 5 bucks to say them, sheesh
>>123234371
>>123235267
How does A-1 start, anyway? Does it use the same system as S?
>>123235249
this bitch is crazy is, she was about to confess that she killed her parents and Reiji was like "wait don't"
surely letting someone with mental problems and a killing record is a good idea.
Just like Kyoko didn't accuse Yukiko so she could go and kill **** in the bad end
I swear everyone is fucking stupid in this game
>>123235476
Yeah, really wish Grisaia had a voiced Yuuji. It's not even voiced in the PSP/Vita ports.
>>123235898
Main characters is just a done deal, when it happens I like it (pic fucking related), but when it doesn't it doesn't really bother me; on the other hand, male side characters with 10 lines getting no voice just frustrates me, like c'mon it'd improve the VN considerably even if they got the janitor to do the lines.
>>123235898
edgy
>>123235495
you pick a route and enjoy a centered route on the character, but there's still choices and shit in said route. It's a fandisc I think, so complexity was dialed back a bit.
>>123236036
It irks me when the MC has just a few voiced lines (MLA). It totally killed my image of Takeru.

Guys, I've just started yu-no and have just finished the prologue in one seating.
How do I know when to use the jewels?
General yu-no tips for a newcomer?
how long until machine translation replace human translators? 10 years?
>>123236628
>How do I know when to use the jewels?
Use a guide
>General yu-no tips for a newcomer?
Use a guide
Unless you've played a lot of old PC adventure games, and unless you're willing to spend a lot of time solving tricky puzzles, skipping through text, etc, use a guide.
>>123236685
Not until the singularity hits, anon
>>123236685
2 days
>>123236628
The best place to use them is where you find items so you can come back and get them again.
Also don't read your dad's letter at least once.
>>123236905
With tricky puzzles do you mean unintuitive shit like clicking a thousand times and going back and forth to places a couple of times until the game decides arbitrarily I can progress?
>>123236926
You mean the instructions for the device in order to find that one jewel?
Also, what's a good guide?
>>123237124
Yes, that. I went most of the game without it and it made my life hell.
Pretty sure TLwiki has a great one.
>>123237124
Kinda. Yuno involves a lot of time travel so the tricky parts is that.
For example: at one point you go into a shed to get rope. The door locks behind you. You are stuck there for awhile. Bad end. The solution is to use a jewel before going in, so you can time travel before the door locks after getting the rope. However, without a guide you wouldn't know that, so you'd have to re-start from the beginning or wherever you left a jewel.
>>123237349
>games are no longer as hardcore as they used to be back in the day
What went wrong? Now ADV games are just click-to-win
>>123237349
I actually found the hardest "puzzles" in YU-NO to be the parts where the game expected you to talk to some random generic NPC that at all other points had just said the same shit over and over. Wasted hours running laps around the map until I figured out who I needed to talk to.
>>123237458
People had less fun with more hardcore game.
>>123237484
It's been years since I played, that was just the only puzzle I remembered that also made me think "wew lad".
>>123237458
Tedious backtracking is not a sign of good game design though.

I can't believe that there are retards that read visual novels without any sexual content. Like, what the fuck? That's like watching a porno where everyone is clothed and having coffee instead of humping.
