Thanks, Haro.

>>17463672
Ok, going to be out of this thread until the pannel is over.

That ragnarok game was pretty cool.

>>17463702
Don't worry, just click on it, there's nothing.

>>17463672

I don't know if it's just coincidence either or mangagamer delayed their PRs, but none of the usual suspects have uploaded images either. I guess it's down to guessing website addresses

>>17463672
Might be funnier if it gave fake images like Albatross Sky Butler. Probably would take too much effort for just a side-gag.

Welp.

SUPIPARA CHAPTER 2 FUNDED GET HYPED YA'LL

I really hope no one expected any major announcements from this panel, must be incredibly disappointing.

I'd like to see more art from the chuunibyou thing.
That title art looked pretty good actually. But anything OELVN sends pretty loud warning sirens blasting in my head. So I am very cautious. But that title art at the very least almost didn't look like western trash. I think.

Aahahaha, that disappointment from crowd when Lunasoft logo came in.

Supipara isn't a surprise, although it is a surprise that they are continuing the Minori fundraising for more Supipara.

The Spirit Master of Retarina

https://vndb.org/v20487

>>17463833
I can't help but admire the minorifags persistence.

Supipara Chap 2 is at least 100 percent TL'd and Trinoline has been confirmed to help the Supipara fundraiser.

Also, Eien no Aselia spinoff?

>>17463851
I love dungeon crawlers. I hope the gameplay part of the game holds up.

>>17463854

No

>>17463851

Okay that was a good one

>>17463847
Rance fags

Room No. 9

Huh, actually a tiny bit surprised at Sono Hana.

So mangagamer was able to license the backlicense doujin games too?

Heh, the Sonohana guy is so nervous he's on auto-pilot. He's got nice voice though.

Boring.

>>17463910

Well he's a terminal autist at the best of times, so it's probably for the best

This is seriously fucking grateful

Who's this guy on the left from Sonohana guy?

Yay we got rance

>Sengoku shills were actually MG employees

SENGOKU

>sengoku rance

can't wait to see /haniho/ burn tonight

I fucking knew it they're doing Sengoku before Quest fuck me i'll be dead before i get to play it.

>>17463933
I'll happily replay the game.

>>17463933
Course they were MG shills they're terrible at fucking hiding it.

>>17463951
Sengoku Rance was obvious. You don't need to be some insider to know that.

lmao2rance

RANCE QUEST BABY

What a twist

>>17463943
loool

I'm actually surprised here i didn't think MG would've been smart enough to do Quest and Sengoku at the same time.

>>17463981
I kept posting it on the blog, but I didn't think they would listen.

>>17463981
Afterall the shitposting over Buy Haruka they probably knew what the reaction would be.

All those Harukas paid off.

>tfw not a rancefag or fujoshi

quiet day for me

Did he just say they're doing the magnum expansion too? I didn't hear him that well.

I didn't think they would do Evenicle, Sengoku Rance, and Rance Quest all at the same time. Three massive games from the same partner. Well played Mangagamer.

>>17464001
Yes. The announcement image is actually of RQ magnum.

>>17464001

Yes, we're doing Quest Magnum as a single release.

>>17464008

So who do I pay for that stream

>>17464041
>Justifying reddit
get out

>>17464062
Buy Haruka

>>17464062

That Twitter dude I guess. He was just some guy in the audience as far as I know.

>>17464011
Damn, MG is actually using competent website naming?

>>17464038
inb4 Rance 01, 03, IX, and 10 all announced at the same time next Otakon.

Where is Umineko?

>>17464068

But how do I pay someone without an ask.fm or curiouscat

Not quite the Otakon that last year was, but it would have been hard pressed to match that. Sengoku + Quest obviously are quite a respectable set of announcements.

So why the hell was conjueror there?

Was he that disappointed to miss AX?

>>17464122
to promote Damekoi, duh

>>17464105
It felt too obvious compared to the wildcards of titles last year, I think. Room No.9 and SonoHana and more Rance are very obvious and safe choices, while Lunesoft came out of nowhere.

In contrast, Hapymaher, Sorcery Joker and NewGen was more unexpected. 5D+VI might be too, if you didn't think it was going to be more Rance or a bundle.

>>17464132

That seems like a pretty extreme reason to fly to another country

>>17463851
I wonder what ETA we could expect for this.
Would some time in 2018 be naïve?

Ritaania should be a decent play/fap.

I wonder what that SECRET LOLI TITLE is.

Yes, I was the dumbass that asked for "something similar to Sweet Young Bride".

>>17463951
It's popular in VG and it has some mentions in V. Do not imply that everyone who likes Sengoku are MG Schills.

>>17464154
He's only working for pennies. Paying for his own trip and working for a deficit for the sake of passion isn't that large of a leap.

>>17464164
>I wonder what that SECRET LOLI TITLE is.

Wut

Was there something in the QA that the stream cut?

>>17464192
>VG
>V

You aren't really helping your argument anonymous.

>>17464192
The only people excited for a Sengoku retranslation were shills. Why else do you think Mangagamer announced Quest? They knew what the reaction would be if they didn't.

>>17464213
Yeah, we let them know of the reaction, alright.

>>17464213
>The only people excited for a Sengoku retranslation were shills
im excited for it because the current translation reads about as well as my gaping asshole

>>17463788
He's a balticfag so he must be really mad to hear that.

>>17464077

In the QA they said they're finishing up the answer arcs, so sometime next early next year would be my guess

>>17464164
>SECRET LOLI TITLE
probably nothing great since all the the good ones are too creepy for any localisation company to pick up most likely

not that i'm blaming them..

>>17464213
It would bother my autism if Rance VI and Rance VII got officially localized, but not Rance VII, so I'm happy because of that.

>>17464288

If there really is a secret loli title, that's actually some pretty interesting news particularly because they're kind of out of "easy" loli titles. If they continue doing ammolite titles, the next one in line would be https://vndb.org/v19092 which is pretty pedo

>No overdrive kickstarter reveal
>Nothing fits the rocket scientist hint
>Secret loli title

Is mangagamer not done for the year?

>>17464309
i guess there's also that lolige that ChuableSoft did, but i doubt they'd announce that at a later date since that's a bit more substantial than a short nukige

>>17464328

That's getting kind of old at this point though.

>>17464331
it's a 16:9 title, at least

>>17464309
Could Sisters ultra edition fit the loli part?

Haro, are you guys contemplating doing a HD release for Sengoku? I find the "screens not representative of final product' pretty strange otherwise.

It would be baller if we could get SR in even slightly higher res, but considering the headaches you guys had with upscaling on Rance 6 I wouldn't blame you guys if you didn't try again.

>>17464356
Vodka in /haniho/ said no.

>>17464356
>I find the "screens not representative of final product' pretty strange otherwise.

Did you not notice that they're all still in Japanese?

>>17464375
I-I don't see any Jap on that image I posted though

>>17463854
I wonder if finishing Supipara is just a passion project for Minori at this point, as it is clear Supipara isn't going to become profitable no matter how they manage to fund it with other projects.

>>17464383

I used the same template on all the images in the gallery.

>>17464388
Whatever the case, it's pretty funny. I mean, come on. It's obvious no one wants it. minori really need to stop pushing it and move on already.

>>17464390
http://mangagamer.org/rance/
The page makes it seem like I-IV are prequels. That's bullshit. I-IV lead to KR, not 5D.

>>17464388
That was kind of obvious soon after chapter 1 came out. $350k goal doesn't seem that bad though. They might get it in a couple of years if Trinoline does half decently. The main problem is the staff surviving long enough for all of the chapters to be funded though.

>>17464346

I'd certainly say it wouldn't, but who knows. You'd be better off asking >>17464164 what their exact response was.

I'd personally guess mangagamer probably just bit the pedo bullet and is doing little twins because it's short and easy and they already have a business relationship there. For a longshot, I'd say maybe they picked up a galette title

>>17464407
KR isn't canon.

>>17464424
It is in its own timeline. I-IV belong in that timeline.
01-04 (04 yet to be released) are the canon prequels.

>>17464356
>>17464387

In addition to that, I'm pretty sure arunaru twitted that they wouldn't do that again sometime in the past.

>>17464427
Nope. That's just something people had done for convenience.

01 and 03 replace I and III. The basic plots are pretty much the sameshit anyway.

>>17464402
If it is just a passion project that they want to complete instead of leaving it half finished and they decided to funnel their extra profits from the West into it rather than trying to fund it with their domestic operations, more power to them.

>>17464407
They lead to both, at least when 5D was made. Divergent timelines and such.

I, II, and III were all retconned with IV probably going to be retconned soon, but 5D and VI was made while assuming I-IV were fully canon.

>>17464431

and just recently as well apparently

No shame in that. That's something that a decent part of MG audience wants.

Can you go into more detail on MG answer? The stream ended after the start of the Q & A.

Nothing for me this year.

>>17464288
>>17464309

>>17464478
The exact response was:
>about to suggest Sweet Sweat in Summer
"I already have both (Ammolite titles), meant any loli upcoming titles?"
>Imopara 2? that does have a loli
>suddenly, oh wait, we do have that one thing--
And then they cut it off there, saying any more would fall under "hot leaks".

>>17464402
The way they brought it up was hilarious.

"Who here are eden fans?"
>some cheers
"Or ef?"
>few more cheers
"Or Supipara, hopefully?"

How will SP ever recover?

>>17464522

Yeah, vague as that is, I'd still say it sounds to me like they're doing little twins.

>>17464567
White Album 2

These mangagamer announcements were straight up 0/10 for me. Not a single title I am interested in.

Between Evenicle and the two Rance titles, Alicesoft makes up quite a large portion of MG's big announcements for the year.

>>17464699
I was surprised by that. Makes sense because they're so profitable for MG though.

No otome announcements at all, but 2 BL announcements is kinda funny.

Otakon exceeded my expectations, because my expectations were very low to begin with. I predicted 4/6 announcements.

https://twitter.com/tulipgoddess/status/896216390390214656

how much of Quest was done

>>17464726
More than half iirc.

Seems like Alicesoft is pretty happy with the sales they got so far.

>>17464744
I hope it causes a budget increase for the final Rance game

>>17464726
Maria had done like 70% before betraying everyone.

>>17464626
What announcement would you have liked, dovac?

>>17464861
Now that they got 5D, 6, and soon to be Quest+Magnum, I doubt they care very much.

>>17464886
Literally any moege. Gameplay VNs are autistic as all hell. Only the aroduc translated ones were good like bunny black. Didn't like kamidori though.

A yuri and two otome games? I guess fags buy games because they feel like it's part of their identity. Consumerism is pretty exploitative of that subculture.

How much nameshit will sengoku have

>>17464886
Not him, but I was kind of disappointed as well. Rance Quest will be the only thing I play from the list and I'm already worrying me that I may not like it. Like I played the shit out of Sengoku Rance and loved it but every other Rance game I've tried hasn't nearly gripped me in the same way so I always get bored and drop them. Here's hoping I like it.

>>17464920
You should give Alicesoft your money if Sengoku Rance is that good.

>>17464904
They didn't announce any otome titles this year. Only one BL game was announced at Otakon. It seems like MG might be holding back a few announcements for a more minor con. Kind of like how Golden Fantasia and other titles were announced after Otakon last year.

>>17464904
SupiShit is moege kind of. But it's an all ages depressing piece of shit, so I understand.
>>17464920
I played all the Rance games which are translated and loved all of them. Not for the gameplay necessarily, but for Rance.

>>17464924
If they give it a hardcopy I definitely will.

Next year will be more interesting and unpredictable. We'll likely get more Rance, but will they go to Rance IX or start the remakes?

Unless they announce more titles at a later con, then Trinoline, Magical Marriage Lunatics and Supipara Chapter 2 are their only moege announcements this year.

But keep in mind that MG has released alot of moege recently with Da Capo 3 R, Dal Segno, and W Happiness launching really close together. Sukisuki is still on the horizon.

>>17464904
There's only one yaoi game, and rather than "identity" most fujoshi like yaoi as a sexual fetish. The yuri fanbase has a bit more lesbians around, but it's only 30% identity at most. Obfuscating identity and fetish is silly.

>>17464972
Probably release order, so 01, IX, 03 and 10.

If you count the OELVN titles, then Otakon had 3 yuri announcements and a futa game announcement.

>>17465021
Release order doesn't seem to matter, because they skipped 02 to go to quest.

Did MG reveal which announcement was secret project #1?

>>17465039
SonoHana: Girls of St. Michael.

I feel like the Alice Soft announcements couldn't have been better. I quite want Escalayer some time though but I am sure we'll get to that in due time. I'd imagine.

And I am very pleased with that Luna Soft dungeon crawler. It was a surprise I would have never predicted. But it looks like my type of game.

>>17465053
You'll most likely get Daiteikoku, because besides Evenicle it's the most requested non-Rance game.

>>17465034
02 is just a graphic update of the original II, so it still has a lot of 80s-ness in it. It was also just a piece from a compilation disc released by Alicesoft and not a separate game like 01 or 03.

It's in a very weird spot so I can see why they might not get it. Not to mention that TADA wants to make a proper remake of II eventually too.

That award moment when Tim wanted to homo hug Cucumber-kun.

MG announcements were trash, all they ever release now are faggot games, cuck games or rance games.

>>17465244
As opposed to SP and their metric shit ton of moege? Sign me the fuck up for some Rance. At least Rance games don't take place in high schools.

Speaking of SP, is their dumb Maiden Voyage sub-brand dead? I know they fired/laid off the girl they were planning to have run it. What was the point of even making it if they don't give a shit?

>>17465350
god help me i'm honestly starting to warm up to SP, Wagahigh was really nice

>>17465244
They've already released 3 moege this year. Sukisuki will be the fourth.

And they've announced 3 moege this year, even though one of those three is Supipara.

>>17465361
I can't stand the art, the girls look like a bunch of Sonico-esque dumb cows. Not like PE's art was anything special, but at least I can bear to look at it.

>>17464309
Holy shit, tan lines again! I hope they do this one.

>>17465361
I want to buy Wagahigh but their broken store needs to be fixed first. I have no interest in creating a steam-lite in my email to hold download links.

>>17465361
>god help me i'm honestly starting to warm up to SP, Wagahigh was really nice
Yeah, it only took them more than a year past their scheduled release date to get it out.

Get some standards, retard.

>>17466055
Just because it's good doesn't mean you have to buy it. Never buy from SP.

Where the fuck is Muramasa?

>>17466430
>>17459570

>>17466453
Buy lesser games in order to get the game you want. The penny pinching pricks should just kickstart the damn thing.

>>17466155
I have standards which is why I don't read cuckge and BL/otome

https://twitter.com/Conjueror/status/896405913388679168

>>17467402

The weird thing is that conjueror is literally the only person twitting about their panel

Not even sekai themselves are

Wow there literally was nothing from SP's panel

>>17467427
I guess that's why no one was twitting about it then. Was wondering if the timing was wrong or something, seeing how there was radio silence about the panel.

>>17467427
They announced the Fata Morgana manga adaptation. And to no one's surprise, they can't spell manga.

I'm surprised. I was half expecting a wagahai OC announcment.

>>17465361
I'll agree with the second part of your statement, but not the first.

>>17467478
Sasuga SP. I'm glad they are releasing it digitally so I can keep pirating their stuff.

>>17467478
And how much did they release of the Gate manga again... Last time I checked I could not even find out if vol. 2 had been released >_<'

>>17467402
https://twitter.com/Conjueror/status/896050785686962176

So this is the retard that fucked over the Rance fandom with his years of lying.

>>17467702
Not as ugly as I expected

>>17467478
Might be cool for a few of the characters that never got sprites, but I'm not really particularly interested since the art for the manga looks pretty bad.

>>17467839
Going into Fata Morgana already knowing the plot twists takes alot out of the experience. And one of the great things about Fata was its soundtrack, so the manga will most likely feel lackluster.

How much was Conjueror bullied at the MG meetup?

>>17464436
>Nope. That's just something people had done for convenience.
Yeah. Even i-IV have many small things retconned by KR. Which is understandable, back then they didn't know the series was going to get that long and the setting was being developed which each new game.

>>17467427
No new info for Teaching Feeling either. Faggots.

>>17468380
No one cares about Teaching Feeling until the author actually finishes it. I want my wedding dammit.

Good thing nobody wants Supipara chapter 3.

>>17466453
>>17466594
how can we buy their other games if they won't even release them?

>>17467849
I actually re-read it recently and still found it very good. It's impressive how early the author laid the foundation for practically everything which came later. The main twist is hinted as early as the first CG with the WHG.

>>17468539
I just realized they are just counting up. So translating the game costs 100k dollars and making it costs 50k dollars.

>>17468958
>translating the game costs 100k dollars
No, it doesn't. That's just how much minori wants for it. They said it's development costs.

>>17468539
I really wish they would just shelve this. No one liked it

>>17468792
I should also write some retarded garbage with tranny MC and get english vn fans salivating over my "masterpiece". Damn fata author.

>>17469024
There are no trannys in Fatal.

>>17469083
MC is a tranny *twist*

>>17469099
You're wrong *twist*

>>17469099
MC either had a body like God's or was some kind of hermaphrodite. Which one is ambiguous, because his appearance like an angel is constantly brought up like he's supposed to be supernatural in some way.

>>17469182
Gay

>>17469182
It's not really *too* ambiguous. When Aimee is torturing him she makes it pretty explicit that his junk isn't a vagina, but it's not completely a penis either. He likely just has a microdick.

The overall literary purpose, though, isn't to make some sort've SJW-esque statement on gender or something, but, as you say, to tie in some divinity aspects to his character.

Please refrain from discussing all-ages kusoge which have nothing to do with the thread.

>>17468973
Supipara has been released in Japan for years. There is no chance it is development costs. And if it is, then it is the Steam conversion cost. Which I've yet to see any other kickstarter list in their expenses.

>>17469254
No need to be so triggered, anon-kun~

>>17469254
But it does have to do with the thread because Sekai announced that they're localizing its manga adaptation.

>>17469281
Do you not see the "VN conferences" in the subject? Adaptation of trash does not count as a VN announcement.

>>17469277
>There is no chance it is development costs.
They were saving money for chapters 3+ anon. That's how MG justified the goals for chapters 1 and 2.

>>17469284
>Adaptation of trash
I didn't know you were getting an adaption.

I find it pretty strange how butthurt people are about the announcements. This past month has been heaven for me, never thought I would be getting Quest and Evenicle so soon.

>>17469372
I think it's mostly people who wanted moege or otome titles that are upset.

>>17469372
It's just dumb moebuta who are angry that they aren't getting their generic moefest #1432423

>>17469377
Which is odd, because MG announced 2-3 moege titles this year, but I guess some people aren't happy if it doesn't make up at least half the years announcements.

>>17469379
They're getting 2 minori titles and Magical Marriage Lunatics.

>>17469379
We get it, you only read mature all-ages chuunige for mature people like yourself.

>>17469430
If that were true, I would be angry as well considering no all-ages chuunige were announced. Try using your brain next time, if you even have one.

>>17469446
I'm sure the OELVN will satisfy your shit taste.

>>17469430
no he's probably into the cuck games

I wonder why it wasn't at the panel
https://twitter.com/Denpasoft_pr/status/896516853199142912
SakuSaku on August 25h.

>>17464249
but your asshole reads fine

>>17469392
Neither Trinoline or Supipara are really new announcements. They are only technically so. If you're including Space Live, no one wants that.

Out of the localized titles that are at least 10 hours according to vndb announced by Mangagamer:

1 charage
1 yuri
1 BL (Neither Hashihime nor Room No 9 have an hour count, but it's fair to assume the latter is at least 10 hours)
1 moege (not counting Space Live or minori)
1 nukige (a bit surprisingly even if it goes up to 3 if you include short nukige)
4 erotic gameplay titles, 5 if you count Quest and its expansion seperately.

The emphasis on gameplay titles isn't surprising since such games have historically sold well, but the sheer volume of them is a bit surprising.

Because it's not Mashifoni.

Rance crowd is large, vocal, buys game and was largely expected to go postal if Sengoku was announced with no promises about Quest.

That makes no sense. If you break down those tiers based on it being development cost then it is 200k per new episode, and we aren't getting episode 3 until 75% of episode 4 is covered.

Not to mention it means each episode will be funded about a year before they are decided to be released, which means they either have to make games they aren't sure to they will sell, or they are going to have funded their development a year before they start working on it.

minori acts like vns take hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop a single title. And the fundraising campaign only factors in minori's profits, not localization costs or MG's share that are deducted from that.

MG published the VN but they went with SP for the manga...

MG doesn't publish manga and Sekai has a manga branch.

Kaitsu btfo some female vn panelist acting like the 18+ vn market doesn't exist.

You're not allowed to criticize anybody female. Why is this shitlord working for MG?

>>17473461
Don't worry, GH is on his case already, he will receive thorough stap-on augmented reeducation and will be fired on next such offense.

>>17473461
>>17473491
Kaitsu is a woman.

>>17473493

You'd think more people would be aware of this given that she's ds55's girlfriend.

Kind of funny how a company called MangaGamer has nothing to do with manga

>>17473493
A real woman or "woman"?

>>17473550
I know, huh? They should've been called SlideshowGamer.

>>17473555
She has always been a woman.

>>17473550
But western people only know of manga and games. So a visual novel would be a mangagame. It is logical.

Meanwhile we have Sekai who think people can read a Japanese word in the west! Such a bad name pick!

>>17473561
They don't publish SHAFT anime either.

>>17473550
Oddly enough, they have a manga (physical only) that they sell because it was a Kindred Spirits spin off.

The biggest thing that bothers me about that website is the anime tab. Just why do they keep it there?

>>17473999
Kind of funny that they are named after the worst girl in School Days, a VN they themselves translated.

What? This happened?
