Considering that it's the title with the lowest tl percentage other than Rance X (with a stalled TL) and the two BL titles without any TL percentage, I wouldn't expect it this year. It's possible though, if MG gives enough bias to the title to let it slip through the pipeline, and no one would blame Mangagamer for showing favoritism towards an Overdrive game (assuming they know the role of Bamboo in both companies). Overdrive isn't my favorite vn company by a long shot, but it was one of the first ones I was exposed to, so I can't help but be nostalgic and a bit biased for them. Kira Kira was great ... other than the true ending, Deardrops was fun despite various flaws, Dengeki Stryker was /m/fag out of 10, and both Bokuten and Edelweiss are in my backlog. It'd feel wrong for me to not play their final title.

The whole "fragile male ego" made me think, why do VNs attract so many trannies, feminists and left wing pronoun people? Aren't 99% of VNs made to cater to male fantasies by setting unrealistic standards, thus they're "problematic"? Why would you as a person holding progressive views willingly associate yourself with a medium that even regular anime fans see as wank material for misogynistic losers? How can you work for a company that publishes games with rape scenes made for the sole purpose of arousing the reader, isn't that what they call "normalizing rape"? Not to mention the pedophilia - the Fata Morgana translator worked on a game with loli scenes, do they really want that on their resume despite their views, how about some integrity? Even the highly regarded titles contain ero scenes and the "problematic" bullshit they all love to complain about.

It's even worse when they complain about "nazis", "pedophiles" and "misogynists" invading their precious medium, like, don't they realize they were here to begin with? Or is it they were originally a part of the core group but got somehow radicalized by the left (just like Moogy went from an edgelord to a 2hu yuri spammer)?

>> No.23856975

>>23855724
Yes. All other things being equal, gameplay titles with a lot of H-scenes sell the most out of the various genres MG sells. The Rance series is the most famous franchise in that category. Some titles that have gotten on Steam outsell the Rance titles to be fair with Evenicle being the most obvious example due to its similarites. That said, Rance consistently scores high on the overall MG store sales if you look at the yearly sales report. Rance VI has been in the top 10 for every year since its release so far, and it was released at December 23rd, 2016 (2016 being the year it got 4th place). Even in 2019, VI got tenth place while Sengoku got 1st despite already having a fan translation and only releasing September of that year. Judging by Haruka's sales (only got 1st place at 2016, the year of release), I expect Escalayer to make the chart for a year while not coming back afterwards, though it might sell better since Escalayer's anime is somewhat more well known.

Speaking of the 2019 sales report, I completely forgot Trinoline got 5th. That explains the fan disc.

It's not dead. Just, uh, "on hold" for the time being.
The translator is a health worker (and a murican one at that), so he's being overwhelmed with work at the moment. Progress was something like 1300/8586 before the whole thing was halted.

As far as I can tell, they are drifting towards the indie game market. They are still releasing visual novels, especially if those visual novels can be released on console, but it wouldn't surprise me too much if they just stopped altogether in the next few years or so. Most likely, they'll release both VNs and indie games for the time being like Fruitbat Factory or such.

>>23858679
There's not enough proof that Nekonyan is a child company of Sekai, but it really wouldn't surprise me if they were. My guess is that if Nekonyan is the child company of Sekai, they'll only pick up the moege stuff while leaving every other license by the wayside when it comes time for Sekai to leave the VN business forever. Nekonyan possibly being a spawn of Sekai isn't the main reason I haven't bought any of their releases though; I just don't have a huge affinity towards moege.

Given the resources put into Rance Quest, mangagamer won't be able to make a profit on it. They are better off just releasing what they have and ditching Rance.

>> No.23866749

>>23866626
I doubt that Mangagamer put that much extra money into Rance Quest. It's probably something as mundane as adding 5 extra beta testers. If they added an extra programmer or something crazy like that, then I could see RQ being unprofitable. All of that said, MG did spend 5 years on Bokuten, a title which probably didn't sell well because Overdrive titles never seem to sell well, so MG's persistent. If nothing else, I believe that Rance X will come out, even if it's by 2030. Furthermore, dropping Rance would probably sour MG's relationship with Alicesoft. Even if the Rance series ends up being unprofitable as a whole (which is unlikely), that might not be worth losing the potential profits of Evenicle, the Beat titles, or whatever else they decide to release from Alicesoft.

Speaking of stalled titles, I wonder how much JAST USA stays afloat on its own sales and how much is kept afloat only because J-List exists.

The only way a Rance game that might not make a profit (in the first few months) is 03 since they'll have to pay seiyuu costs. But maybe things will balance out since the new games seem to have code that's easier to modify (see: Rance 01 - Out of Beta) so it will probably require less programming work.

Rance 01 is also ridiculously shorter than Quest and is just throwing chips at people. It's simpler overall than Quest.

>> No.23875289

>>23874028
Rance 01 is short with 02 being shorter than that. Rance IX will definitely be easier than Quest unless it hits a random programming snag like Evenicle did. The game is only about as long as VI, with very minimal alternate routes (only the final chapter differs for the various routes). Rance 03 is also relatively simple compared to Quest and probably simpler than IX. Rance X is an absolute monster of a game though; MG will probably have to go through hell to release that behemoth.

Maria is the answer for both.

I'm guessing that if Aru didn't quit, he might have done 03 but considering the length of X, Maria might have done 03 too if he was really going to be the only one on X.

Speaking of which, what's going to happen to that? Can they use the Aru's stuff for it or are they going to throw it all out? Maybe Maria will pull a Cartagra on it and just go through his stuff while adding her own?

More than half of 10's script is virtually the same shit and you know it.

IIRC, Rance 02 < Rance 5D < Rance 01 < Rance IX (side routes included, none which are long) < Rance VI (including postgame which isn't that long) < Rance 03 < Sengoku Rance (assuming you go all 4 routes) < Rance Quest Magnum (without new game plus antics and grinding to fight the bonus) < Rance X. A lot of the length from Rance X comes from how almost every "playable" character has two or three event scenes to themselves and how you'll have to play the game multiple times to get the various endings. Though, even a single playthrough for an A ending takes a substantial amount of time assuming you don't skip previously read text. Playthroughs for B and C endings are usually easier and shorter though while the "epilogue" is sizable but not too long.

>>23875678
>Can they use the Aru's stuff for it or are they going to throw it all out
Since they pay per character they probably just paid off the amount he had already done before quitting and then will pass it off to someone like Maria to complete.

If Aoi wanted me choose her she needed to do some heavy lifting. The amount of passion and will displayed by Miyuki actually made me reconsider choosing her. I was trying to be mean to her in the loop but the way she genuinely loved me made me feel bad being mean to her.
