They'll probably release it on August 31st, at 11:59 PM.

There will be no Princess Evangile hardcopy, at least until after W Happiness is released.

>>14014300
Grisaia 18+ was just released on denpa's site.

https://twitter.com/Denpasoft_pr/status/637346375710019584

>>14014691
Big whoop.

>>14014658

Looking forward to the merged "moege of the year" edition.

>>14014691

Are these thumbnails for ants?

>>14014691
Do they give Steam keys for buying the 18+ version like MagmaGamer does, or are they stupid?

>>14014872
They're considered separate versions, so you won't get a Steam key. Not only that, but the versions run in separate engines, so patching them is basically impossible since the tools to do so aren't public.

Let's kick this off.

MG is the savior of all VNs.
Dovac is god's gift to us all.
Ixrec is the best translator ever.
There's nothing wrong with wildly inaccurate translations.
You don't need to look at the Japanese to know if a translation is good.
Herkz is a great editor.
Moogy is god.

>>14014636
I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

>>14014897
Not bad, but you forgot JAST's translation speed being reasonable, since their quality is so high.

I am deeply disappointed that none of the Majikoi games have a route for best girl.

>>14014897
What is that line about "MG is the savior of all VNs" doing alongside all that false stuff?

>>14014888
I don't see how that's an excuse to not give a free key. MG's games also have separate versions but they still give a key, because they're nice. This is just greedy.

So, how is the translation of Lamento?

>>14014971
Sekai is the developers bitch most of the time and in Japan you have to buy both versions separately, so it's entirely possible that this is just as much Frontwing's doing as Sekai's.

>>14014300
>Tokyo Babel - 15% translated
Dis gon b gud.

Just checked out Good Haro's twitter. Some posts about piracy sparked by the release of Amnesia. Also, funnily enough, some people think that MG is a fan translation group. I know the 7th Expansion fan patches they hosted didn't help with this notion, but I never knew that so many people thought that. Of course their site doesn't exactly look like it belongs to a professional company. Expanding their marketing efforts may help, especially once they start releasing more prominent games. It would probably help if they got news sites to do more articles on them, so that people know they're legit. They know which sites people frequent due to their survey, so that would be a great place to start.

>>14014926
Nobody ever says that.

>>14015010
So, fuck them both. Just pirate their shit. The KS is already over. They're already translating the sequels. Fuck giving them anything further if FW going to be this shitty.

>>14015133
The problem with that is a lot of sites just won't give them coverage since they do adult games, and the sites which do cover them are either small or just places people go to to see what to pirate next.

Also, how the fuck does someone think MG is a fan translation group? Unprofessional site or not, how do you reach that fucking conclusion?

>>14015235
Some people think the admin of Erogedownload translates all the games they host. People are fucking stupid and probably 10 years old.

>>14015133
To those that don't follow twitter here's what she said:

>So, since everyone's freaking out about people pirating Amnesia, let's talk about piracy and visual novels!
>A lot of people like to cite specific dollars of hypothetical lost profit & you get the counter-arguments about piracy not being lost sales
>Honestly, I think all that's pretty beside the point. The bigger issue is really the way people value and interact with media now.
>Be it games, movies, tv shows, comics, books, whatever, a lot of people don't seem to ascribe much intrinsic value to these things
>And it's definitely not just because of how prevalent piracy is (I mean look how people interact with Steam)
>This kind of thing hits VNs and Japanese media (in the West) particularly hard because for a long time fan efforts were the only option
>"Why would I spend money on that when the fans would have given it to me for free?"
>Like I actually had someone tell me that NTY was too expensive compared to DMMd which "was free"—no, it wasn't free, you pirated it!
>Which is whatever but it's not exactly a fair price comparison!
>Piracy's so much the norm in our community that the thought that you even /could/ buy something doesn't even occur to a lot of people
>I guess you could say that's a failing on the part of localization companies' marketing efforts, but it's a very difficult notion to change
>Some people still think MG is producing fan patches
>Anyway, imo the real hurtful thing about piracy isn't so much the individual download numbers, it's the environment it creates
>People feel entitled to content and don't feel it has any value. Maybe that's just the way our culture is going in general, idk

(will continue on next post)

>>14015262
(continuing)
>Also I guess it doesn't help that people have some really skewed ideas of how big the market for this stuff is
>While I can't give numbers about the US side of things, if you just take a look at the charts for otome games on handhelds it's p. telling
>UtaPri might be selling 100k p. regularly but literally thing else is at least 10-100x less than that
>DMMd sold like 6k on Vita! That's minuscule!

>>14015235
Siliconera and nichegamer have done MG articles before. I've heard oprainfall is starting to cover adult games as well.

>>14015133
They didn't host the patches, they sold the untranslated game so people could buy it legally and use it with the patches.

>>14015262
>>14015270
Why the fuck did she do one tweet for each of these? Has she never heard of TwitLonger?

>>14015308
They linked to the fan patches on the store pages for those games, which still didn't seem like something a professional company would do.

Speaking of Amnesia, does that have a good translation? The Steam screenshots look acceptable to me, at least.

>>14015262
What is this about "Everyone's freaking out about it"? Who is talking about it in the first place? Have not seen any of this.

>>14015346
People in the #mg channel.

>>14015329
Haven't read it personally but there is a thread on reddit calling out spelling errors in the game.

>>14015365
It's not really spelling errors as much as it is typos all over the place. There's apparently dozens of instances where "Mine" (character name) is "MIne".

Time for order numbers. And damn, these numbers are sky rocketing right now because of the bundles.

I think I already gave my order of 18 July. It was 040528.
From the groupees bundle: order number 044751 - August 25
From the Indiegala bundle: order number 067385 - August 29

>>14015377
Oh my bad, didn't really bother reading into the thread. If that's all, I guess the translations fine.

>>14015243
What? He doesn't make it obvious enough that his site is just a collection of torrents from different localization companies? MG should add an extra screen right before the game starts that triggers if a pirated copy is detected. It will say that "This is a pirated copy. Please support official localization efforts." and have a large link to the MG site on the screen.

>>14015404
I didn't say that. I have no idea about the translation. I just know that it's full of typos. However, poor quality control isn't usually a sign of a bunch of skilled people who take pride and put a lot of effort into their work.

>>14015399

Yeah, last bundle a few months ago jumped the total about 4000, so the indiegala/groupees/sale had to give it a giant kick in the ass.

It's actually going to make tracking a pain if euphoria comes out in september, because people keep redeeming those codes for a little while too.

Also, if any of you guys bought either of those bundles, you do get order numbers from those if you want to post them.

>>14015405

if I recall, doddler actually tried to rig cartagra to do something similar to that, but the guy that cracks the games caught them.

>>14015443
You can't defeat pirates.

>>14015443
I wonder if he could stealth code it in, or name it something inconspicuous. Or put in message in all copies, not just the pirated ones that says, "thank you for your purchase. We at MangaGamer are proud to be the official localization company for this product. Please continue to support us." Then include a link to their site.

>>14015563
Have you actually played any of their games? They do put a big official thing in there with a link to their site, and also their logo before this, and everything. It's hard to believe anyone could actually think this is a fan translation group. Like, you would have to be legitimately mentally impaired, and we shouldn't treat those people as the majority.

>>14015638
I just noticed the mistake in that, though. Come on, MangaGamer. I guess they don't expect anyone to actually read it closely, since it goes by so fast.

Although, this is a pirated copy I've had for a while. Maybe they fixed it.

Apparently Aroduc's translating Princess Witches.

>>14015708
God damn it, stop stealing my shtick. I'm much better at finding random games that nobody has heard of and saying that Aroduc is translating them.

>>14016085
Oh yeah?
http://tenka.seiha.org/category/games/princess-witches/

>>14016100
>http://tenka.seiha.org/category/games/princess-witches/
That proves nothing? He said so himself, that he would start covering games in episode like chunks because all the anime he is covering is all on like one day.

>>14016189
That's just your opinion.

>>14016100
Why does Aroduc hate literally everything he talks about? It seems to me like people only suck his dick because they're trying to encourage him to release more translations.

>>14016234
He's just being a cynical little fuck, that kind wants and attracts attention with their hot opinions.

I don't give a shit as long as he continues to translate.

>>14016234
>Why do I review crap? Simple: for pleasure. For the sheer joy of it. Every piece of crap you like is an immense world of delight waiting to be explored. Crap is a driving force, crap is inspirational: nothing urges me to set things right more than seeing them done wrong. I'm especially pleased when the crap is so bad it makes me angry — for anger is a pleasant sensation. To feel your bile rise and your blood boil, to feel a rush of fury — why, it's the pleasure of being alive, of feeling some actual emotion instead of the constant dull fuzz of the easily contented.

>Why should I deny myself such pleasures? You preach abstinence, but that's because you're a Puritan. When you look at criticism, you see only whines and complaints; you fail to see the joy. Energy is eternal delight (as they say where I come from), and to damn something with energy is a more joyous and thrilling act than to ignore it, or say "it's nice", or fob it off with other half-hearted compliments.

Has there been any update on Sumaga? Or are they just being silent on purpose?

>>14016284
Yes.

>>14016247
Hm, I guess it's the same principle that is the driving force behind clickbait journalism. You're right though. If someone is a competent translator, I don't care about their opinions being shitty, because if they're competent they also won't let what they think affect the quality of their work.

>>14016265
This sounds like some fucking comic book villain's monologue. I doubt he actually puts any thought into it.

>>14016284
Sadly, the thing with JAST is that if they're being silent, you can safely assume that no work is being done.

>>14014953
I'm more surprised that nobody has called him a tsundere in his face yet

>>14016826
I think that did happen in either Wanko or Yukie's route.

>>14014987
I heard it got cancelled for some reason, don't know details but they just stopped translations.

Also any info on the Brothers Conflict psp translation? It was suppose to come out during the summer this year but never did.

>>14014987
Apparently they've mistranslated things, as expected.

>>14017041
Lamento's translation is out.

>>14017047
Yea kinda saw that coming. Kinda salty about it cause the patches were pretty ehh on translations.

Just hoping Brothers Conflict is still underworks now I don't have Lamento to look forward to.

>Princess Nightmare PS2 ver. translated never
>Ayakashibito PS2 ver. translated never
>Hounan route never
Why the fuck do they never port the best version to PC so that people would translate that instead?

>>14017041
You are pretty out of touch if you heard that. It literally just got finished.

>>14017115
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm sure the potential existence of an unofficial English patch years later would definitely lead to more purchases by their Japanese customers. It certainly wouldn't result in people simply pirating said PC port rather than buying the console version.

>>14017115
There's actually someone here who cares about Princess Nightmare? I'm surprised. I thought it looked interesting (though the art is questionable) but when that patch came out everyone here was just like "What the fuck is this?" and it was never spoken of again.

Ok so I'm a huge fucking newfag who has been lurking for a fair amount of time but don't really think I grasp VNs well and how to actually get on the pulse for VN releases. The main issue I have is finding translations/finding what is translated and what isn't. I used vndb for a while but they're not very accurate for where resources are available.

What websites are good resources for keeping track of where to actually get translation patches, or torrents of the original works to begin with (or legitimate sites to buy them).

>>14017250
I took it because I thought the MC looks cute. Got some bit of chuuni shit that's my cup of tea too so I enjoyed it a bit. The only problem is just like Ayakashibito where the route that I wanted isn't there in the pc version

>>14017258
Legitimate sites for buying english games are mangagamer.com or jastusa.com, and you can find some on steam if you are okay with all ages.

For finding games, honestly if its not on sale at the above then erogedownload.com is a decent site for downloading anything else that has patched along with the patch. You could also use certain filters on vndb to find just english stuff and then google the games.

>>14017258
VNDB for links to the patches and information on what just got released, Sukebei for the torrents (use the Japanese titles).

>>14017277
Well hey, those are my reasons for being interested in otome games too, so I can't fault you for that.

Now I'm mad too because I see this has Rekka Katakiri in a voice acting role and I've got to hear that. Would be nice if they'd at least do text translations for the missing routes if they're gonna be working on the game anyway.

>>14017241
Shit seriously? I stopped following the updates for 3 months and didn't know it was complete. But they havem't released a patch yet from what I looked through.

>>14017408
Where are you looking? It's posted by the translators on the Aarinfantasy forum and there's even a patched version on Nyaa.

>>14017408
Maybe you don't know because the forum where they worked on the patch requires an account, but it's hard to imagine missing this information after visiting its vndb page. Also when >>14017047 said "out" did you somehow mistake that for "cancelled" because that makes no sense.

Well, at any rate, it's definitely done so just go get it from Aarinfantasy and enjoy. It's got one of the easiest patches to apply ever too.

>>14015666
What's the mistake?

>>14017738
>>14017943
Somehow I get the feeling that they're talking about the shitty otome game.

>>14017115
>Ayakashibito PS2 ver. translated never

If Propeller's games sell well, MG might try to get the PSP version of Ayakashibito on Steam, or maybe not, since the existing fantranslation may have killed the chance of that happening.

>>14018001
Didn't stop them from doing Umineko. If they can strike a deal with this moon eating guy they will have less work to do on the translation side and so it will be an even easier project.

I'd personally prefer Bullet Butlers first though.

>>14018052
Good luck getting ahold of the fan TL team, since they haven't updated their blog since the Ayakashibito patch was released in April 2014. They're likely a dead group at this point.

In the case of Umineko, they already had the rights to the game, they just had to pay for the patchinko artwork, which was cheaper than the console artwork. I don't think the game is voiced either, which makes licensing alot lower, since voices can drive up the cost of a license significantly.

>>14017977
Damn, you are probably right. We were all vague with what we were talking about so I didn't even notice.

>>14018226
His Twitter isn't dead, though he hadn't made a tweet for over a year until just the other day. It's almost like he came back by an act of God specifically so that I would be able to prove you wrong. Gonna have to whip out my rosary after this post so I can adequately give thanks to the Lord. I say "whip out" but it's always hanging over my bed so I know exactly where to find it.

Anyway. You're still right about licensing costs and stuff, but at least there's one less potential obstacle. Even if it happens, I wouldn't expect to hear anything about it for a long time, but I also wouldn't give up hope. In the mean time I'd recommend taking up Christianity, since as you can see it has served me pretty well, just as I serve the Lord Himself.

>>14018052
Umineko is one of the most popular titles in the West, it's guaranteed to sell no matter what. The same cannot be said for Propeller titles.

Looks like denpasoft is planning to find a way to use paypal for 18+ games.

Is this doesn't break the rules, MG should do this too.

>>14018481
That may change if Tokyo Babel is enough of a success. Let us not forget that Propeller is known for their top-tier chuunige, and that is without a doubt the most popular type of game in the western scene.

>>14018497
Is this Alpaca thing Dovac's new account after he panicked and deleted his old one?

>>14018877
Different anon here, I mostly play VNs in Japanese, so I haven't had much contact with the translated side, and I feel the need to ask: how have other translated chuunige fared until now, and how popular do you think Tokyo Babel (and other future chuunige) can reasonably get at this point, with 1 being instantly forgotten and 10 being F/SN?

>>14018877
We'd probably get Evolimit and Bullet Butlers before they'd consider doing Ayakashibito. They'd pretty much have to do Ayakashibito if they'd want to do Chrono Belt though.

>>14018992
>how have other translated chuunige fared until now
The Propeller games and Gahkthun will be some of the first games to test the market for them.

>>14019019
Dengeki Stryker is pretty chuuni as well. Though everyone seems to forget about that.

>>14019028
I think it has a Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic, which makes people think it's more silly than it is, while they view games like Tokyo Babel and Gahkthun as more serious games.

>>14019039
>Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic
I really liked that about the game. Also, the cliche of hero living next to baddies and getting along well with them, while neither side sees through the obvious double-identity is hilarious.

>>14019028
Well, if you want to count that, I've heard that Dengeki Stryker is one of the best performing expensive VNs on Steam, right after Evangile. So that's promising, I think.

But yeah, most of the popular chuuni games so far have only been fan translations.

>>14019019
What about Demonbane? On this note, someone knows if it sold well?

>>14019028
I personally found Dengeki Stryker a bit boring. It has nice production values and some scenes are decent but it never left in me a strong impression. Demonbane is the chuuni VN that left in me the srongest impression mainly because of its writing. Damn, I really enjoyed reading it (only counting Al's route because it's the best route).

>>14019171
Thing about Demonbane is it's a mecha VN, and mecha doesn't count as chuuni. Rather, it's science fiction.

>>14019171
The Super Robot genre is kind of its own thing.

>>14019308
It's been around for so long that if you described a super robot show as chuuni to a fan of the genre, they'd just laugh in your face because it has about 30 years on the concept. And then they would be like BIG BANG PUNCH.

>>14019184
stop making shit up

>>14018877
If Propeller is so top-tier then why is the cimpany going under? No hate, just curious. I enjoyed Ayakashibito somewhat so I will give their other works a chance, but honestly I don't see what makes something like Ayakashibito better than your average chuuniage, it's definitely several tiers below FSN.

>>14019351
What exactly am I making up, lowercase kiddie?

>>14019358
Because they were top tier but they fucked up with their latest game, Sougeki no Jaeger, and Japanese companies are known for being ruined (or nearly ruined) by a single failure. See Bokuten for another example of this, although that is actually a good game that was just poorly received because it was different.

>>14019358
>If Propeller is so top-tier then why is the cimpany going under?

Their good writers left. Tokyo Babel is considered the last great Propeller game. Shadows of Pygmalion is OK, but is largely considered inferior to their previous works. Sougeki no Jaeger is a mess because it had multiple writers who didn't coordinate well.

>>14019358
By the way, of course it's below FSN. This is because FSN is a nearly unmatchable kamige. If Propeller's good games are some of the best steaks money can buy, FSN is the perfect steak cooked by God himself which you would have to pay $1000 for a single bite of. There's a reason why it was one of the earliest VN translations.

>>14019060
That actually sounds kind of charming. I might check it out.

>>14019171
I heard it didn't sell too well because it was so heavily pirated, but I don't have hard numbers on hand so take that with a grain of salt.

>>14019382
>See Bokuten for another example of this, although that is actually a good game that was just poorly received because it was different.

I read a spoiler review for it awhile back. Honestly, if what I read was accurate the story sounded awful. It also qualifies as an utsuge, which not everyone is a fan of.

>>14019421
I believe what you heard was about the initial sales, which also had to do with oblivious people getting mad about the "all ages" label since it was the first such game released on Steam. Once people were properly informed, sales started to rise. I think rumors of sales being worse than they were may have also been spread by Sekai Project agents, since they had released Planetarian at around the same time.

>>14019442
MG made the mistake of releasing Dengeki Stryker on Steam during the Tokyo Game Show, so the JRPG announcements likely overshadowed it.

>>14019406
FSN is unmatchable? So how are stuff like Dies Irae/Murasama stand up to FSN? Are those actually not as good as FSN and only hyped because they're untranslated?

>>14019406
I know you're joking, but the fact that some people actually believe this is somewhat cringe-inducing.

>>14019495
I'm currently reading Hanachirasu, which was written by the same writer who wrote Muramasa, and I'm really getting sick of the frequent info dumps.

>>14016234
I have never seen any Aroduc dicksucking. There's more Fuwanovel dicksucking in these threads in a week than there's been Aroduc dickucking in a year.

>>14019425
That's the fanboy and company line excuse. The company they love could never do any wrong, so if something's poorly received, it must be the fault of the fans for being assholes.

Did sekai/jew project or whatever even test the 18+ version? Buggy piece of shit the fan patch worked better then the ""'official""" release

>>14019591
The Doddler must be slipping.

>>14019591
What's wrong with it? It was ported right? I tend to avoid ports until they get the kinks worked out.

>>14019609
Not really, most of the ports he's worked on required a patch...or several.

>>14019523
That's depressing, since that's a big reason why Hanachirasu is so good. Although the people who dislike it do tend to have the same problem with it as you do. I personally find it amazing how much detail went into it, I felt like I knew everything about swords after reading Hanachirasu.

>>14019495
No, they're also about as high up. FSN, Dies Irae and Muramasa are the Holy Trinity of chuuni visual novels. Kamige in its most literal form.

>>14019660
And before anyone wonders about Baldr Sky: as we already went over, that's a mecha game so it's not chuuni.

>>14019660
MangaGamer updated their progress status blog. Here's what made progress this past week.
>Asuka Final Chapter - Now on sale

That's a bit of an understatement.

>>14019184
Gahkthun has big silly robots, so I guess it doesn't count as chuuni either.

>>14020144
Yumina's not chuuni either because there are robots.

>>14020733
F/SN is chuuni, but later games in the franchise aren't because they're sci-fi.

>>14020104
I feel sorry for whoever thought "haggy" was a cool name.

What the fuck is wrong with MG's mascot? That shit is disgusting. Their logo is shit and that site looks amateurish.

>>14020802
I liked their old mascot better. Not because of loli-appeal, but shading was way nicer. And new one looks kind of overdesigned.

>>14020811
I liked their old mascot better. Because of the loli.

>>14020823

poor loli comko

The old mascot is definitely better. She's very cute.

>>14020811
>>14020823
>>14020831

Hey, what's the the site you can use to find line counts and file sizes?

That guy with the terrible accent is interviewing kouryuu about mangagamer again

>>14020802
>>14020811
I think the old one was drawn by a Japanese artist and the new one was not.

We used to have both of them coexist peacefully, but then MangaGamer got rid of the all ages section of the site. A sad day.

I heard /jp/ left for their own board? Abandoned /jp/ to the normies?

Any truth to this?

>>14021001

It's true, I no longer post here

>>14021001
The thread is moving a lot faster than previously. I remember when it was 1 thread/week

>>14021001
>normies

Fuck off back to reddit

>>14021072
no, what I meant to say is that this board is now reddit, and original /jp/ went to some other board.

>>14019627
He did the fan tl patch of Kajitsu too and the only patch needed there was to fix one choice box they forgot to translate.

>>14021097
>implying I go to redshit
Where did all the "original /jp/" go then, huh?

>>14021104
they killed themselves

>>14021104
They learned Japanese and confined themselves to the untranslated eroge thread. Then left for IRC when that thread went to shit.

>>14021150
If we're talking about smug assholes who got condescending because they learned a bit of Japanese, that's the entirety of this board. The "original /jp/" was the people who didn't know Japanese but just liked Japanese stuff.

>>14021152
The "original /jp/" was Touhou shitposters. I don't see how things have changed significantly.

I've been on 4chan for nearly 10 years now and /jp/ isn't all that much different to when I first started browsing, and certainly nowhere near as infested with redditors and normalfags as other boards have become.
Keep fighting the good fight.

>>14021167
>>14021204
You're right, the only difference is that there are now also people shitposting about how "the original /jp/ is gone" when nothing is really different.

The question is why some fucking piece of rat brought it up in this of all threads.

VNTS general rules:
If you got Jack in your cup, go raise it up.
If you ain’t got enough, go fill it up.
If you had too much, don’t throw it up.
And if you ain’t got shit, throw your hands up.

>>14021167
Uh... we have Kancolle shitposters to help them out? I get the feeling there's a lot of overlap there though.

>>14021449

>applying high school physics to motherfucking Touhou

And you have the gall to call someone else retarded.

>>14021050
Because there's one fag that replies to every post as a separate post to increase the post of the original VNTS thread. Why you ask? So they can hurry can create this general.

>>14021607
That's a funny conspiracy theory, but I stopped doing that some time ago. So anything that happens is all on you.

>>14022066

>>14022149
Do you want all these shitposts to clutter up the thread?!

>>14022178

Holy shit it's been almost 3 month since I didn't visit this thread or /vn/ and when I come back the untranslated vn I'm wanting to read the most is picked up by a translator ! What a time to be alive, thank you MG !

>>14022378
Yurifags stronkest

>>14022306
I'll make a thread whenever the fuck I want. You have no power over me.

>>14022066
It wouldn't be so much of a problem if we kept to one thread a week. Having multiple threads means we run out of discussion.

>>14022445
I mean fall release for a JAST title is very fast. Still it's a shame it's not a Mangagamer title because I trust modern Mangagamer more than JAST or Sekai for sure, and their staff actually thought they were going to work on it right until JAST announced it.

>>14022811
This thread was probably created by the same person as last week's thread. By last week, I mean a month ago. They were desperately bumping it everyday for 3 weeks so that people would only reply in "their" thread. Well, if you saw what they were doing but still used the thread anyways, that means you condone their shitty behavior.

>>14023003
I wouldn't hold JAST to that fall release window. The translation might be progressing fine, but Innocent Grey's games need ported because of the issues their engine has running on English OSs.

>>14023333
And nobody's able to port games but Doddler. If he's not doing it, then nobody else could possibly do it, and even if they did, it would take them years to do what he does in a day. Doddler is our god and savior. -slurp slurp slurp-

>>14023409
I don't get irrelevant sarcastic posts like this. Are you really making a dig at someone for being active? Fucking idiot.

>>14023472
You're exactly right. You don't understand them at all.

>>14023477
You're imitating someone praising Doddler in a conversation where he's not even brought up just shit on the guy.

>>14023501
You already convinced me that you're ignorant and stupid. You don't need to specify the exact level of ignorance and stupidity.

>>14023524
Jump off a cliff or something.

>>14023409
Have JAST mentioned the porting progress of Flowers? If someone has to port an entire game, it can take up to several months.

Oh boy. People on Reddit claiming that it's not a machine translation if you're copying straight out of JParser because that's understandable and accurate.

>>14023551
Are you gonna post a link, or are you just gonna be "that guy"?

>>14023003
The question is still who is actually translating it. I'm sure it'll be in the credits or something, but I'm concerned that a known translator hasn't stepped forward to take credit. Could just be some new jackass who isn't actually any good.

>>14024203
Time for you to step forward and do some translating then, instead of sitting back in your basement and flaming random guys on the internet who actually try to contribute for ungrateful EOPs like you. Lmao.

>>14024228
What a pitiful trolling attempt.

>>14024203
Maybe it's the Starless translator.

That's exactly what they are.

not enough fanart
drpgs are shunned in japan

explain to me why there are now two VN translation status threads

Bakemonogatari PSP when??

>>14026998

These threads have become generals now and some retard doesn't realize that while they move quickly, they don't move so quickly that they can fill up in two days.

Some anonymous are really autistic about vnts not being allowed to be a general, but I don't mind it being one. That said, I really wish that guy would stop making them when it's only a day or two until the real thread though, because having two threads at the same time isn't really kosher to me.

>>14026998

VNTL has TWO threads. Soon it rival Sachikong herself!

>>14027095
Plot twist: Sachiko is creating the VNTS threads.

>>14027072
Why would it really matter when you already agreed to have a second thread?

>>14027205

Because it's rude?

Imagine you're sitting in a plane in a row with three seats, some fat guy sits down and takes up two spots and goes "why does it matter, you were going to have the two spots next to you occupied anyway"

>>14027245
...Uh, what's wrong with that? Fat people generally NEED to take two spots, which means they paid for two tickets. They have every right to sit there.

>>14027260

Let me know when you're paying to make these threads

>>14027321
I'm paying with my time and doing you a service. If anything you should be thankful.

So I started Majikoi S, rushed straight to Kokoro's route, and then just as it was getting good it suddenly has the confession, a heap of sex scenes, and ends. Then I do Margit's route and it's barely even ten minutes of content that isn't sex scenes, and is even shorter.

Please tell me the rest of S isn't like this. Kokoro's route already crushed my dreams. I don't want the rest of the game to trample on them.

>>14027810
Tsubame's route is actually quite long so go for her route next if you're tired of the constant sex scenes. Kokoro's route has a lot of fighting too.

Rose Guns Days, the COOLEST VN that ever existed.

>>14027893
>Kokoro's route has a lot of fighting too.

>>14028356
Now I'm curious, how does she handle the voice acting for that line?

Are those people still working on Daiteikoku?

I know some people were doing the special campaign on hongfire, but I don't know what happened with the main campaign.

Are there any differences between the original release of Grisaia, or the steam/denpa version? Apart from ero scenes, of course.
Seeing how faggot herkz has removed the original off nyaa when it got licensed, despite it being an illegal file sharing website. All because sekai project hired him.
Does the steam version or the denpa version have any other differences, such a the MC fully voiced? Before I start playing the version I downloaded last year, I want to know if either version is voiced or different, which may be patched into the first version.

>>14028772
> Seeing how faggot herkz has removed the original off nyaa when it got licensed, despite it being an illegal file sharing website. All because sekai project hired him.
I was surprised to read this and checked. The game's up in multiple versions.

>>14028804
No, it's not.
Removed from nyaa and removed from TLwiki and fuwashit.
You can still get it of shokan or other torrent sites/eroge, but it's gone from nyaa, all because herkz wanted more money from it. It's ok to have copyrighted stuff, unless the nyaa devs are earning money from it.
Prove your point next time herkz, try linking it on nyaa(with the actual TLwiki patch intact).

>>14028772
Yeah, the official version works on English OSes without having to be in Japanese for non-Unicode etc, and is a shitload buggier.

>>14028815
>using a prepatched game

Not that guy, but how fucking retarded can you be? The same Grisaia torrent from fucking 2011 is still there on Sukebei and well seeded. The so-called "original" you mention is still perfectly intact, but you're dumb enough to think original means something else. As for the TLWiki patch, it's hosted elsewhere. Anyone with a brain knows you're supposed to patch the game yourself if you want to avoid problems.

Hell, I've had the actual patch sitting on my computer for a few years, so I could even share it if I wanted. But I don't much want to share it with a jackass like you who doesn't even know how to search for games.

>>14027245
Having this thread is already rude. More people being rude doesn't make a difference. That's the choice you made, didn't it?

Are you asking why it has a bad reputation? It's because people are stupid and equate "I don't like this kind of story" to "This story is bad". Certainly, there are actual bad stories out there, but this isn't one - it's just not something that's going to appeal to everyone. Some are just good stories written for a certain audience.

I thought it would be shit from the release 's"giving up and releasing it as is" post, but I was pleasantly surprised
are the other routes bad in some way?

>>14035414
Like I said, the only "problem" is that it's unedited. And you don't seem to be someone who has a problem with that.

Is there anyway i can play Higurashi with the newest updated sprites without having to wait for mangagamer to release all the episodes on steam?

Let's hope Yurirei 18+ sells well on Steam, that means more 18+ games on it.

>>14035704
Nope!

>>14035414
Though, I guess if you have a problem with tsundere characters you won't like the other ones. But what kind of retard hates tsunderes?

Also, >>14030700 is a joke about copyright infringement.

>>14035728
Ok....whats the best release available for higurashi right now? I don't want to play with the original release that contains the horrible sprites!

>>14035736
I believe that is the only option right now, so either you tough it out or you just wait. MangaGamer's existing release of the games with the original sprites is in fact the "best release", so if you want to play it now you have to go with that. Otherwise you wait for them to rerelease it.

Maybe play Rose Guns Days while you wait?

>>14020862

>>14043661
This thread didn't hit the bump limit. It should last until the new thread is up.
On another note, today is Maria's birthday. Spam her ask.fm with happy birthday messages

I can't seem to locate one for the life of me, but would be baffled if there was not a price tracker for the limited number of venues for sale of licensed translated VNs. Would anyone care to direct me?

This might not be the correct place to ask this, but I've been wondering something while playing this game. Now bear with me, I know that this is a little far fetched, but it nags me a bit in a general manner.

Perhaps I'm just missing something, but is Kawakami City actually placed on top of a border (Tama River)? Is something like that even possible? You'd get a city under two jurisdiction. Their school (named after the city, so obviously also a part of it) is located in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and to get there they need to cross the river, which is a border. Perhaps this is totally normal and I'm just not away of this?

>>14044682
Well, you're an imbecile for one.

And for two, it's transparently Kawasaki City.

>>14044712
Maybe he lives in a cave in the Sahara and has never seen civilization or a river before, and doesn't understand how either works.

>>14044712
I checked and the Tama River is the border to the Tokyo area, right? Might as well show you superior intelligence and explain the basics to this imbecile.

>>14044919
Ahhh, to be honest I don't actually know and just wanted to be condescending. I'm sorry.

>>14045694
Thank you.

Sonohana from MG is their September release, due out on the 25th.

>>14045795
Who was translating it, anyway?

>>14045814
Makoto, I believe.

I'm going to wait a few months to say happy birthday to Maria, just so she suddenly receives a nice surprise out of nowhere.

>>14044682
>Is something like that even possible?

I live on a border. As in, I walk across the street and I'm in a different state. Entirely possible, and nothing strange or unusual about it.

You know, while it was stupid to insist it was the only possible translation and all that other stuff he was dumb enough to actually type out to a bunch of people who are known for being judgmental pricks on IRC, I get how he got "soap opera" out of chaban. Seems to me like the problem was more how he approached translating than the translation itself.

Dude was kind of a dick when he posted here too. I have never seen any other MangaGamer employee misconduct themselves so blatantly, but he couldn't help himself. No wonder they fired his ass.

>>14046211
...who?

>>14045935
Makoto sure gets around.

>>14046067
In the middle of a city? It sounds impractical to me, but thanks for clearing that up.

>>14047120

Look up Florala.

Just because something's beyond you ability to understand it doesn't mean it's impossible.

>>14045795
The game won't be Windows only. It'll also work on Mac and Linux.
Expect my order number soon

I love that roast beast line so much that I don't care if it's "wrong." The key to a truly good translation is knowing when to make edits like that anyway.

>>14047120
AT THE HEART OF THE CITY at the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is. AND THE MAN IN THE TOWER CONTROLS IT ALL and the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist. IT'S LIKE THEY GATHERED UP THE CITY AND NOW it's like they gathered up the city, sold it to the devil and now, it's gone to hell and they wonder how.

>>14047422
What you're referring to is localization, not translation.

>>14047466
Localization is a BIG part of the translation process. When one says "translation", localization is included within that bubble.

>>14047466
>>14047516
That's neither translation nor localization. It's making shit up for lulz, or given how he does it all the time and gets basic words wrong all the time, making shit up because he has no clue what he's doing.

>>14047566
Explain how someone with no clue would put in something as brilliant as roast beast. The man knows exactly what he's doing. He probably understands the world better than all of us.

>>14047600
Go shitpost the Harvest Moon thread, Ti9.

It makes sense if you've listened to the song.

>>14048661
Everything on this list will end up on Steam.

>>14048661
Righteous. I'll create a new thread on Saturday.

>>14048661
>Da Capo 3 - 56.9% translated
Almost there.

>>14048564
>ああ means yeah

Uh, it doesn't.

>>14048577
At least they actually finish their patches. Nekohen only does menu patches and calls it a day. Fuck them.

>>14048700
You're not up to date on either Japanese or Nekohen.

>>14048706
Your mom's not up to date.

>>14048710
Since she's been dead for three years, I'd be shocked if she was.

>>14048671
Good. Steam is the future. Of course, it's not like they're not working on 18+ games/versions too, but what will be key in the future localization of 18+ games is that Steam eventually allows games with straight up penis in vagina intercourse (I am only assuming this is how sex works, due to personal inexperience). We NEED to get them to do this.

>>14048696
The last 40% is going to feel like it's taking forever.

>>14048715
Damn! This thread took a turn for the dark.

>>14048692
There's no point. This thread will likely last through then and the regular thread will be up on Sunday.

So, I suppose the next release is that futa OELVN The Menagerie?

>>14048706
I mean, it CAN mean "yeah" depending on the context, but not necessarily. Acting like there's a one to one translation for everything in Japanese is foolish. Synonyms exist.

>>14048760
Looks like it, unless it gets delayed. It comes out a week before the SonaHana game.

>>14048760
Looks like it. I wonder if that will be any good. I'm not a big fan of futa yuri because it's like "Let's take away the reason why yuri is good and stick a dick in there" and to make matters worse they make the dick look like a deformed banana. But this one is some sort of scaly monster girl so I might be able to dig it, because it's kind of like, sure, why wouldn't she have a dick? The thing the artist is doing for Yuri Game Jam might be more up my alley though.

>>14048763
Nobody ever said that, but since you bring it up, he DIDN'T know that it could mean "yeah" and was always translated, no matter the context, as "aah."

>>14048780
>The thing the artist is doing for Yuri Game Jam might be more up my alley though.

Lesbians in space!

I think the developer confirmed that the girls in the poster are a 3way pairing.

>>14048782
Aah, I see.

>>14048668
No, it doesn't.

>>14049065
Explain how it doesn't.

Wait, when in August was SubaHibi released? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

>>14049208
It's not an August release. It's KeroQ.

>>14049208
>actually believing that it'll be released in august

>>14049208
No one said which year. :^)

>>14049208
It's completely done and ready to release, but Sakura no Uta was delayed another month, so Herkz had no choice but to delay Subahibi as well.

Someone raised dovac from the dead. At least his twitter is back.

I want my drama dovac. Do your usual bullshit.

>>14049155
Explain how it does.

>>14049299
Ugh. Again?

>>14049303
It's just the exact lyrics of the song. So it makes sense because you know it's the song lyrics.

>>14049308
The man cannot resist having a place to bitch to his sycophants. We just need to keep provoking him to say stupid stuff so he gets embarrassed again and deletes it again.

I'm worried that the post that says "Don't worry, it'll be done in October" actually was from Herkz himself and that's when he plans to do it. Seriously, October?

>>14049400
The Subahibi patch release date is currently set for 10/23; pray to SCA-Ji it doesn't get delayed further.

The EOPs must suffer with us.

>>14049445
Delaying it until the release of that game seems like a dumb idea, unless they're going to translate that as well. In fact, I'll take this as confirmation that Sakura no Uta will have a worldwide release.

>>14049554
That's correct. Sakura no Uta is getting a worldwide release, in Japanese only, as long as you use a forwarding service.

>>14049568
That is not what I meant at all.

"MILK"

I realized that since these so-called horrible Fuwanovel VN translations are by the same people who have been translating my manga for years and I've had no problem with that, I have no problem with them doing the VNs. They succeeded in making them readable with acceptable grammar. That is all I need in a translation.

>>14049944
Enjoy your duwang.

>>14049950
I do in fact greatly enjoy Duwang, but you can't honestly compare that to Fuwanovel's stuff.

>>14050311
Expecting same quality from Fuwanovel regardless of who is working on the project makes as much sense as saying that Makoto sucks because Kazoku Keikaku translation was terrible.

Duwang reads more like earlier tlwiki stuff than abominations that usually come from fuwatards.

>>14050493
What I mean is I'm expecting pretty acceptable quality from the people who do my manga translations, like Dowolf. I honestly don't have much to complain about in Majikoi's translation.

>>14050548
And I was agreeing with you. My complaint was directed to the jp mentality in general.

>>14014269
>SubaHibi - 100% translated, 2nd editing pass and QC remain, August release
See you in 2016, herkz.

CAST IN THE NAME OF HERKZ
YE GUILTY.

>>14048661
According to MG's twitter, Haruka is 34.5% translated and the second chapter of Higurashi is 86% edited.

>>14049345
Still don't see what the lyrics have to do with anything.

>>14051171
It's a really good song. I just listened to it again and came here and here we are talking about it again.

Holy shit...
I was playing through Koichoco with a pretty old patch (Common+Chisato only) and I got really mad and frustrated about how much emphasis it was putting on Chisato and not the other girls. I lost it when the first H scene appeared thinking this was all still in the common route. It was only after it that it occurred to me that this was actually her route and any choices to change the route had been removed.
That's me done for tonight I guess.

>>14049602
But that's how it's going to happen.

>>14053753
Yes, all other routes are locked until you finish Chisato's. Presumably because no one would play her route if they hadn't done that.

If it makes you feel any better, she gets BTFO in the other routes. Watching her break down into a sobbing mess is incredibly satisfying.
