This general is for the discussion of Japanese visual novels.
Kindly use spoiler tags appropriately when discussing plot spoilers to facilitate smooth discussion.
First for MG getting absolutely BTFO
This is what happens when you trust a lolicon.
Someone bomb Sekai please
I like lolis and dovac ruins everything once again.
>Nekopara anime

I never asked for this.
Chuee you piece of shit you guys better not let them take the lolis in AstralAir from us
I can forgive you guys for SakuSaku, DONT FUCKING GIVE THEM ASTRALAIR
Why haven't you started learning Japanese yet? The VN translation scene is just going to get worse and worse and SP hogs all the good games and shits out censored titles with shitty translations. You're already a fucking weeaboo playing chink dating sims, might as well embrace it and start understanding what your waifu says.
I want to rail the trains.
I fucking hate sp but damn how do they do this shit. Why can't jast or mg get any big name titles?
>>147398758
MG pays me $1/30 posts insulting SP or other competitors. Better yet, I believe it to begin with, so it's literally free money.
If MG doesn't win the Augustbowl I'm out
>>147399098
Cause I already barely have enough time to play my Japanese localized games (not just VNs), let alone doubling my backlog through and learning another language. This year especially has a shitload of releases and I'm just buried.
Why learn Japanese when in a year's time I can do other shit, and then play Baldr Sky?
>>147399098
stuck behind the kanji wall anon ;_;
>>147399207
Maybe they should spend that money getting better licences lol
You didn't think you were getting out without a kickstarter announcement, did you? Pay up retards, keep eating up our shit.
>>147399180
>but damn how do they do this shit
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien official localization?
>>147398815
Chances of this hot blonde bimbo maid being a virgin?
>>147399057
I'll count a win for SP once they actually fucking release anything good that wasn't already translated.
This is the world you choose to live in
>100 dollars for 8 cat-nendos
The Nekopara meme has gone too far.
>>147399394
You know what, you can shit on SP all you want on 4chan and reddit, but all of that doesn't matter one bit in Japan where they're actively getting more and more licenses under their belt. They can keep on using the prestige from these big announcements to score more.
>>147399394
>I really like Frontwing and have wanted to support them
after Purino Party and Sharin no Kuni I'm not sure if anyone can say this anymore
>>147399543
You're right. I should just support Sekai.

What's going on here?
>>147399685
Or you could shut up and learn Japanese
Only August can save MG now.
>hey anon you dirty eop baldr sky is going to get translated congrats for you
>oh nice thank you weeaboo friend who's in charge of it

is this concrete proof that there is no such thing as a benevolent god?

>>147399843
Hopefully they go under within the next year.
https://twitter.com/The_Doddler/status/749812735349706752
Poor Doddler. Dude had been helping with Baldr Sky for awhile now and they didn't even tell him it was getting licensed. He's probably not going to get paid with the others too.
Being Doddler is suffering.
>>147400002
Doodler confirmed cucked.
Did SP say anything about FUCKING CHRONOCLOCK?
Don't answer that, I'm sure they didn't.
Someone bombs SP's HQ when?
https://twitter.com/enjoievan/status/749823101865635840
>>147400002
I'm still confused if they're using Aroduc's translation or not. Someone was saying Conjueror was being sarcastic about it.
I doubt SP would just disregard other team member's work on the game though. They're not that shitty to the people that buy TLs from.
>>147400091
This will never come out. How foolish can men be, to defy the gods?
>>147400002
Maybe his company should take a risk for once in their existence
>>147399394
Man, they could have been our saviors if they hadn't fucked up pr and management. Even with the maitetsu thing, people would have made a fan patch with less backlash. I just hate their business ethics
>>147399447
>$100 for 8 nendos
Cheaper than most nendos tbqh.
If we remove pre-existing/currently being made fan translation and kickstarters, how much did they actually announce?
>>147400091
kimi what now
Chuee, you traitor you. I bet you'll sell AstralAir to the enemy too.
>>147399180
It's because SP is mismanaged. They haven't had a single year that they've been in the black despite having ridiculous advantages in this market since the start. Dovac is a retard and overspends to get licenses, draining all the Kikestarter and OELVN money away. He's basically in a race to get all 'dem BIG NAME VNs, when the reality is that they that profitable and marginally risky unless you manage to have a good deal or a Kickstarter. To make things worse, since Dovac sucks at business, he overpays for everything.
Contrast to MG who is used to working with low inventory movement, so they tend to make percentage based deals combined with lower prices, and aren't afraid to not pursue more popular titles. They tend to go after middle-of-the-market moege and niche titles, usually older ones that are affordable. Generally speaking, MG is presently very well-managed and will survive for the decades to come, and has been for years, thus creating a very good reputation and general goodwill that none of the other competitors have. Sekai Project is built on a rickety foundation. Worse, the situation might be so bad that the reason he desperately keeps localizing everything under the sun that has a nearly complete fanlation is because of the almost immediate profit, which helps to get around his cashflow issues. It's only a matter of time until Dovac's house of cards collapses under it's own weight.
>>147400091
Is Degica going to make a kickstarter for it as well?
>>147400194

Some of you guys are okay. Don't go to SP HQ tomorrow.
>>147400091
To the surprise of no one.
I'm totally okay with that though, assuming they knew ahead of time and had this actually planned out.
>>147400342
Godspeed.
>>147400129
>I'm still confused if they're using Aroduc's translation or not.
Yeah, I'm not sure about that either. There's conflicting information.
I'm assuming Aroduc is working on it for now since I don't think he even works at JAST anymore.
>I doubt SP would just disregard other team member's work on the game though.
Yeah. I would think so too, but The Dodd has absolutely no info on it seems. Herkz knows about it and he wasn't even working on it.
Hopefully he didn't get cucked.
Don't worry guys I'm hiring Daiz to eliminate Sekai Project. He's the best hitman there is.

THIS WAS POSTED LIKE SECONDS AGO AND IT'S ALREADY ON VNDB. FUCKING MORPHOGENIC FIELDS, STOP PREDICTING THE FUCKING FUTURE DAMNIT.

You work fast anon.
>>147400569
If they announce a partnership with August they will have won. They have multiple god-tier titles.
I know a lot of people have been saying that Conjueror's secret TL project might be Eustia since he's been dropping hints about it for awhile. But who knows
>>147400569
Monobeno or any other good lolige uncensored.

LOL /jp/ confirmed better general
>>147400569
The death of sekai project.
>>147400569
Eustia, Daitoshokan, or Hatsuyuki Sakura. That, or Rance.
>>147400554
They had a rocky start, sure, but they're pretty much the best in the business at this point in terms of consistent quality.
Interest in titles is something entirely different.
>>147400669
I was really confused when the Degica/age guy was talking about spamming sayori with requests for Kiminozo.
But since it's unclear, the remake would be done with Sayori's art. I would get behind that.
>>147400569
A hostile takeover of all SP licenses, a straight up firefight happens between the two companies while on stage, everyone dies, ZUN comes out from the side after the last combatant expires, puts his hands up and says "werr, guess dey shud hav dodge de burrets!", laughtrack, end of act 7.
>>147400859
>That, or Rance.
I'd be fine with Evenicle too. In-fact, that may be a pretty safe bet for them considering how much of a meme Nan Yaegashi is in the English community.
>>147400212
I guess in time we'll see. After falling for one of the early SP kickstarters and experiencing their shit, I'll never be supporting them again. Still, I hope MG gets at least one big title this year since poor jast is falling way behind
>>147401013
Rance is also a meme too. Guarenteed success. Even my fucking normalfag friends know about Rance.
>>147401143
>Seikai Project does Rance for Steam
>Chuee hasn't shown up
What does this mean guys?
I hope Visual Arts eventually translates Hatsuyuki Sakura. Literally a timeless classic.
>>147401013
Evenicle would be fine too. I wouldn't get as hyped as I would with the other options, but it's still pretty gud.
>>147401216
He posted last thread. I hope the guilt eats away at his heart like his betrayal has eat away at mine ;_;
>>147401216
Dovac managed to buy him, he has now converted to cowtits and has no interest in lolis anymore.
>>147400091
That one anon that kept posting about KimiNozo is finally getting his wish granted
>>147401216
He's a SP employee now hopefully he fucks off for good.
Chuee betrayed us. Now he's going to translate AstralAir and twist that dagger once more by giving it to dovac on a silver platter when it's near completion.
Traitor. If you sold it to MG or JAST, I'd be okay with that, but Sekai Project? reeeeeee
>>147401216
An absolute disgrace to all lolicons. Worse than kirby.
He'll probably fuck off to reddit.
>>147401046
>poor jast is falling way behind
They have to know that at this point. They've probably got a secret weapon or two hiding away.
I'm not worried about MangaGamer, they're playing the long game for the companies they work with. I'm disappointed that they're going for Maggot Baits (it's really one of ClockUp's mediocre titles out of all the ones I've played but that's me), but I expect something out of the Alicesoft partnership and stuff and other future partnerships. Weaker titles or titles that aren't as popular to get your foot in the door and convince japanese companies to work with you (and prove you do decent quality work without having to shill for Kickstarters) and get you later titles (As in Rance or Evenicle for Alicesoft, other titles for other companies. Trying to do anything to please Lilith as a company is near impossible so I've given up hope on that ages ago.)
>>147401216
The threads might be good again.
>>147401216
Fuck (((Chuee)))
>>147401445
Their only secret weapon is the ability to delay releasing things long enough for their licenses to expire.
Not even shitting you, it's going to happen soon.
>>147400091
Degica? Are they cool dudes?
>Muv-Luv x Nekopara VR collab idea being pushed by Kouki and Sayori
Literally what the fuck am I reading
>>147401409
Well AstralAir is already done, actually. I can empathize with his team about wanting to get paid for their work. Sekai sucks, but they pay translators well. So, yeah. I feel a bit miffed that I'm not getting it as soon as I wanted but whatever.
I'm praying AstralAir doesn't get taken too, though.
>>147401479
Euphoria is probably their best selling game of the last year so it's a no brainer they'd go for Maggot Baits. The fetish stuff is what sells.
But yeah, I'm disapppointed that they haven't announced any Kamige.
>>147401651
how new
>>147401691
Fata Morgana is kamige.
So what would happen to stuff SP announced if they go bankrupt?
>>147401684
The translation is done, but QC isn't. Ripe for SP to rape it.
Announcement at Otakon. Are you ready to have your dreams buried in gravel?
>>147401719
About 7 months
>>147401684
Sekai has Hoshimemo. They're definitely getting Astral Air and Irosekai.
>>147401651
They're the guys who localized Deathsmiles and Mushihimesama but I don't know if they've done a VN before. The Muv Luv kickstarter was done by them so we'll see in a couple of weeks.
>>147399401
100%, she's in Majikoi.
>>147401776
They sell the licenses to the highest bidder to pay off their debts, since they're considered assets.
So anything could happen. Some might be purchased by some company who only intends to sit on it forever, some might be released by MG or someone else.
>>147401691
Fata was quite good. Honestly better than anything SP has put out in years.
Too bad it sold poorly. It's actually quite popular in Japan.
>>147401691
Thing is though going from Euphoria to Maggot Baits is going to disappoint people in my opinion. You've got all the different routes for each heroine and all the different ends in Euphoria, and in Maggot Baits you get like one normal route and then you have to go back to the route split choice and those choices give you two other routes and that's it. One route that goeslol MC died time for despairandWhat if all the witches were really weird futas
Could have localized Tera Beppin or even Ma*Ko Hunter from them instead or EroManga/EroGoods. (Eroge did well for them didn't it? Eromanga is great.)
http://www.strawpoll.me/10660681
>>147401216
How oldfag do I have to be to actually understand VN politics?
>>147401965
Degica because it's literally a VN that should never be laid upon by virgin westerner eyes. It can't be done, it's a transgression against God himself.
Seriously though, fuck dovac.
>>147402016
If you don't know, you're winning.
>>147401901
Yeah, I thought it was quite weird they went for Maggot Baits as well. Shiggy's a great artist, but if they wanted to utilize her already-known-art to push a title, they could have done it with Eromanga like you said.
Eroge is still their top seller, I think (?)
>>147401880
Thanks for the info
>>147402069
>it's literally a VN that should never be laid upon by virgin westerner eyes. It can't be done, it's a transgression against God himself.
Explain further
>>147401834
Hoshimemo isn't even released yet though. Would a company allow them to acquire another title before they have even delivered the goods?
W-well, at least we have Koiken Otome coming very soon..?
>>147402180
How long have you been here?
>>147401901
That's not quite accurate, there's the normal route, the futa route (really just an extended bad end and a way of locking off the futa content so you don't have to see it if you don't want to), and the true route from making the correct decisions at the new choices that appear after seeing the normal ending.
>>147402348
Two monthsPlease no bully
>>147402394
It's still one of ClockUp's lazier titles in the past few years is my point and that there are better choices. If they were going for the guro meme and whatnot they could have even gone for Fraternite first
>>147401216
I'm right here amigo.
>>147401409
I kept telling you guys fan-translations were dead but you never listened...
>>147402343
Just wait for Otakon. Koiken Otome and AstralAir announcement.
Can't wait, can you?
>>147402619
Fuck off
>>147402343
Don't worry. I'm sure dovac will pick that one up, too.
>>147402619
Can you leave please?
>>147402619
Hand in your lolicon badge Chuee, you don't deserve it anymore.
>>147402619
How much did SP pay you?
>The Age of Fan Translations is at an end
Time sure flies, doesn't it? It was almost like yesterday that I was waking up and eagerly checking progress on /vn/ and chatting with everyone herewhile everyone else was shitposting about MLA.
How does it feel knowing I read Baldr Sky 6 years ago and you faggots are only just getting it now?
>>147402580
As far as porn goes I think it's pretty fantastic but I wouldn't actually recommend reading it just for the story.
Seeing SP sniping good titles is like going back to your room to see your waifu on the floor, legs spread and cum from another man dripping from her snatch while she has the widest agehao face.
>>147402868I still remember the very first VN general we had.
>>147402619
Burn him at the stake! Traitor!
>>147402838

>>147402970
Fuck off
>>147402619
>I kept telling you guys fan-translations were dead but you never listened...
They should stop being advertised as such and getting hopes up then. Just call them, "SP Applications."
Really though, I'm not mad at you guys. Just disappointed that of all of the companies you had to do business with, it was SP. I would have told Dovac to kiss my boot.
Glad you guys got paid though. Good for you. After working on those titles for so long you guys deserve it. It's a shame your lolis will be murdered in English though while we get cucked out of more content.
>>147402343
>>147402634
Kokien Otome is, like, 96% done with QC. It should be released relatively soon.
>>147402868
We got like six porn fan translations over the past month or two, although I wouldn't say any of them were that good.
>>147402970
Yeah dead lolis. Dovac will murder them I hope you're happy
Happening
>>147403108
Yeah. Yukikaze was decent though.
>>147403071
That 4% is them factoring in the SP negotiation.
>>147403071
I think the only route is through SP. Apparently MG can't land these licenses.
>>147403108
I wouldn't really say an h-game is the same as a VN.
>Sekai Project announces Baldr Sky
>Mangagamer announces practically nothing
It's true. The good guys never win.
>>147403214
P-please. How can they possibly delay a 4% QC until Otakon? Will we get HDD shenanigans?
>>147403242
Well, when you put it that way, yes. What I meant to say is that I would have told them to piss off not matter what. And if there were no other companies to work with, so bet it. Then again I have a pretty huge hate boner for SP to the point where even money wouldn't make me do anything for them.
How do you guys take screenshots?
I'm getting tired of using snipping tool and making a less-than-perfect crop.
Do you guys have some other software?
>>147403384
>JAST is too busy racking up on the Sonico meme to even release anything else

>>147403619
From hero to zero.
Nah I'm not that mad at Chuee and his team. They took money like most people would.
I'm mad at Sekai for being an absolute shit of a company.
Might as well cast aside hopes of AstralAir within the next few months though. We'll get it in 2 years I bet
>>147403759
Oh. I dipped out of /vn/ for a few years while I went through college. I didn't know it could get that bad.
Funny how Moenovel has a spiritual successor in Sekai.
>>147403765
Yes, ideally he would have went with MG, although SP probably pays much more since MG's apparently a lot more conservative with their spending.
>>147403664
except you still have the border which is what I'm trying to avoid you fucking retard
>>147403427

>>147403427
Sharex is pretty good but I still haven't figured out how to tell it to not include the window border.
>>147403536
this
>>147403765
Why would you not be mad at Chuee? It's fair enough that the VN is going commercial, but he's still been an annoying cunting tripfag from day one.
>>147404068
Yeah it takes a little work to get it right but it's the best
I know they're not that related, but should I play Tsukihime before Fate
>>147403891
It's more a licensing issue I think. MG probably pays their translators well enough (supposedly SP claims they have overpaid their translators out of """"""respect""""""" (read: for PR purposes)) but SP already has a Favorite license in Hoshimemo (still unreleased) and they've shown that they're willing to get any license they can get their grubby hands on no matter how hard it hits their bank.
>>147404142
Hey, you can be mad at him for me. I've personally never found him annoying though so I can't be bothered.
>>147404068
I just select Region then click on program within the window.
>SP actually localizing Baldr Sky
Holy fuck
>>147404193
Nah, they just share the same universe. Tsukihime is better than Fate though.
>>147404193
I'd play Fate first unless you're an experienced vn reader
>>147404193
You shouldn't be playing TMshit.
Tsukihime is a bog though, is only worth suffering through if you're going to fully commit and read KT and Melty. Tsukihime alone is not worth it
>>147404193
They both have bad art and dated music but Tsukihime is even worse in that regard. If you think this may bother you more if you go Fate first than read Tsukihime now. The latter can be augmented by a good manga with better art, though.I prefer Tsuki
>>147404193
Fate is objectively better but they are both absolutely worth experiencing. They're both on the rec chart for a reason
>>147404390
The rec chart has no standards and the moment something is released that isn't explicitly nukige it gets slapped on?
>>147404334
Tsukihime alone is worth it thanks to best meido.Though Len is pretty cute as well.
>>147404193
both have utterly shit pacing and awful translations and both have you go through a bad route first
fate is easier on the eyes and has voice acting in the realta nua patch at least
>>147404334
>Tsukihime alone is not worth it
i think its fine standalone. of course the other entries make the journey better, but most of the interesting stuff was in the main title for me
melty doesn't have a ton of text to read through and it's really silly. silly in a good way, at least.
>>147404352
They both have such a different vibe that I can respect that. I am so close to liking them equally but I like shit when it's newer
So did anyone take a pic of or with Sayori?
>>147404285
Is it steam only or is there no other confirmations yet
>>147404496
Then why isn't Fata Morgana in there yet?
>>147404538
For me it's more about the grounded approach and the atmosphere. I like both as well but have always preferred Tsuki for those reasons.
As well as the girls. I liked every girl in Tsukihime but the ones in Fate were more polarizing to me. At least the latter gave me my favorite Nasuverse male characters.

Nah, not far enough. Its bringing over the top cute to freedomstan. But it needs to do more. It needs to inspire so big bux Mr.Deep-Pockets to fund a science team to make adorable catgirls a reality.
>>147404579
She's a Chink anyway
>>147404682
i liked both titles though and have literally read every TM work.
>>147404708
the landwhales would have a shit fit if that ever happens
>SP doing baldr sky
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ALL JUST MEMEING
>>147402970
Can you just fucking confirm that you will or will not sell out AstralAir to Shitkai Project?
>>147404675
I can actually respect that opinion, even if I don't fully agree with it. It definitely says something about the writing that I can feel this way
>>147404827
>AS WELL AS SAKUSAKU
So....did they buy the fanTL and made it official or what?
This is rapidfire of announcements. I cant handle this.
>>147401013
>>147401479
Evenicle is even less likely than Rance for the reasons extensively discussed on the relevant general.
Now which Rance game gets done first is a point of interest. VI is a better choice than Quest or Rance 01 but MG might be scared away by its age.
Escalayer is almost just an Alicesoft/Rance General meme. It's possible I guess especially since Haruka sold well.
>>147402843
Best in the biz.
>>147404913
Sum up those reasons for me. I don't see it as unlikely. I don't see any of the older Rance games being officially localized.
>>147403384
I still hate MG for killing Rance VI. I unironically prefer Sekai Project
>PONKOTSU
THANK YOU BASED SPSeriously, was looking forward to that one.
>>147404913
Haven't they remade the older Rance games by now?
>>147405010
It killed itself. The translation was announced, what, in late 2011? It went no where for years. Tons of broken promises and tears. MG might lead us to eventually getting Rance VI at least. Whereas the fan effort seemed to be getting absolutely no where.
>>147404910
They probably bought the fan tl, there is a reason the translator has been "retranslating" the thing for almost a year now.
>>147405010
The whale killed Rance VI. Not MG.
>>147404910
Seems to have bought the fan TL. Hence the Chuee is a sellout thing going on.
>>147405172
Hey if the work thats done is well, Im all for them getting paid.
>>147404819
Just infect them with the catgirl retrovirus, then their ragefits are cute.
>>147405218
I think most of the salt is coming for the prospect of AstralAir not coming out this year, or even the next. And considering it has lolis we might not even get a Denpa.
>>147404827
This is 2016, memes are real.
So is Dovac actually our guy now?
Looks like all the releases that should be on denpa are getting a priority release on it, some not even on steam.
I feel like I cant hate on them anymore. Its almost like they took all the feedback from the recent survey into consideration and turned their shit around.
>>147404984
Alicesoft don't want to give MG anything that's still quite recent.
Evenicle was only released last year and has a good chance of becoming a flagship.
If MG have the clout to get that they have the clout to get Rance which they'll go for because it's the bigger name and because of all the shit they copped from doing Haruka over Rance.
Though of course there is always the possibility that they still have little influence over Alicesoft and get given Escalayer.
For the older games everything before 5D is freeware anyway.
Rance 5D is too old and too mediocre to get localised. But it's not a particularly important game.
>>147405369
No because almost all of the announcements were shit that was already getting fan translated, meaning he effectively delayed them for months while also butchering them to hell.
>>147405094
Arunaru started translating it in late Jan/early Feb 2015 and was 87% done by June when the Haruka deal was made.
Given he had translated and released four Alicesoft games by that point it's also not bullshit.
He also translated Haruka in like 6 months.
5D is also 100 translated and edited just not to be released.
They have remade 01 and 03.
But not IV. 01 and 03 also reference a lot of the later games a fair bit.
You can definitely play VI without them and let's face it most Japanese players did.
Optimal release order would probably be something like
VI (+5D maybe), 01 + (2 maybe), Quest + Magnum, 03, 04, IX, X
>>147405369
Are you kidding?
>>147405531
>butchering
but how
>>147399394
>>147400212
OK wiseguys, what's your business plan? Stay ~humble~ like MG and get BTFO the first time someone with the actual balls to chase the big money big rep kamige steps up to the plate? Seriously lay it on me, what would you do if you were playing Dovac Simulator 2016?
>>147405369
>dodged the question about Baldr Sky getting a denpa release
>completely silent about Maitetsu
>all the titles they announced are getting Steam releases except that one Sayori VN and I wouldn't even be surprised if that got cut up and put on Steam
>still no 18+ Grisaia sequel
What lala land do you live in?
>>147405630
Nope. I mean it. Im not saying all is good, but this is showing that they are willing to listen.
Take ponkotsu. Its not even getting a steam release.
>>147405656
>caring about lolishit
>caring about games getting steam releases when there is full versions already confirmed
>still going on about grisaia 18+ version when a completely valid reason was provided on why its not out yet
come on man.
>>147405640
>what would you do if you were playing Dovac Simulator 2016?
not engage in censorship
not force all titles on steam
stop lying and constantly delaying
thats about it
>>147404230
Dude you have made my life so much easier thank you
>>147405814
>contradicting half your own points to why SP has now "turned their shit around"
come on man.
>>147405814
What was the valid reason? They delayed the recent Grisaia for months and it was well over the expected date it should have been done. And they're going to ask, what, 10 bucks extra for it? On top of the already-expensive game that isn't even that long to begin with?
>>147405814
Grisaia was already delayed to fuck and back. Valid reason my ass.
I can't wait to read Baldr Sky in 2030!
>Degica gets MuvLuv
>Sekai Project gets Baldr Sky
>JAST USA gets Miranda

What's Miranda?
RIP EOPs

RIP JOPs
>>147406693
not really, they have a few interesting titles coming out.
All the dankest VNs are making it west now. JOPs truly on suicidew watch. Baldr Sky is just the beginning.You can use censorship to make yourself feel better, but you will always be dead inside.
>all these announcements
shit son, Its nice to see the industry picking up steam in the west. Year was looking pretty shitty, but now I have quite a few releases to look forward to.
All this glorious Moege. Moege and Bannerlord. Looking like a good year now.
VN newfag here.
So basically all the updates people wanted from SP they were completely silent on?
Fucking hell. Those cunts even told us to spam their twitter and forums with questions about 18+ versions, other games, and Grisaia status.
>>147406986
>JOPs truly on suicidew watch
im on suicide watch and im an EOP. let me know when sekai stops being shit
>>147407180
face the facts, they are on the upswing now. Give them a chance.
>>147406986
I see the Sekai shill is here for damage control.
>>147407239
i gave them a chance for years and they havent shown any improvement in regards to the things that i dislike about them.
time to learn japanese i guess
Guess you really can't trust fan translations at all anymore. That's pretty depressing.
I asked dovac about what he thinks of /vn/ in AX. he told me "/vn/ is a mistake" what's his deal?
>>147407506
Yeah, those kike fan translators sure stab us in the back. They owe us literally everything. How dare they. I will never download a free translation patch ever again. That will show those fucking jews.
>>147407587
You are reading way too far into what I said. I don't have anything against the translators themselves.
>>147407580
no you didnt
At least Rance is confirmed
>>147407956
But Evenicle when tho
>>147407956
Can't someone just look up who won the Moe Game Award for game design last year?
>>147407765
If you ever expect a fan translation to come out then you have the wrong kind of thinking. Until the patch comes out you should just consider the whole translation effort to be a troll. Even more so if "editing" takes longer than 6 months. Aokana and Sakusaku are just more recent examples of how shit goes bad. I'm expecting Koiken to go the same way.
>>147407765
The truth is out there. Trust no one.
>>147406802
Autocorrected version of Muramasa
Is there any point of learning japanese now that all the kamiges are going translated?
>>147408063
Oh. That's in reference to that moeblob game he's tling. Sukisuki3.
Have fun translating a million H scenes again, Arunaru.
>>147408270
To lead a more fulfilling and enjoyable life?
What's up with SubaHibi? I thought it was "finished" and on the cusp of release months ago.
>>147408297
Does she do anal?
>>147407956
But half his former fanbase assumes Escalayer.
Also depends which Rance game
