Couldn't get a straight answer out of /a/, I really should have known better than to try, and there's no WTC thread, so I'm asking here.

With the new anime being a continuation and just having learned about Ciconia, I want to try to get into When They Cry for the first time since the heyday of Umineko.

What is the best order for everything
The VNs are pretty straightforward, 1,2,3, etc, but what about any supplementary material? I know enough not to bother with the anime for the most part.

IIRC, people were guessing that the 3rd Secret Project is a 3rd eye game because bad end was working on it (the same translator of Sorcery Jokers), though it could be a yuri or mystery title based on her track record. I don't think it's an Alicesoft title though since MG's Alicesoft backlog was so large at the start of the year. As for the other titles, I'm not expecting much. At best, one of the other projects will be a notable nukige or a doujin gameplay title since Nekonyan cornered the market on moege, and any yuri, otome, or BL titles would have been announced in AX unless they were extremely niche.

It's worth mentioning that there's potential that FAKKU might have something to do with it since Lune asked on twitter around the end of 2018 for localization companies to contact them or something. JAST and FAKKU both liked the tweet but a few months later Lune and FAKKU both followed each other on twitter, just like what happened with Orcsoft, and it just so happens to be the case that the CEO of Orcsoft and the CEO of Lune are good friends.

Hmm, what could it be. I know it's not much to go on but I feel like that art style looks familiar to me, though I can't place it. Maybe I'm deluding myself though.

>> No.27821882

>>27821643
There's a pretty big gap between Alicesoft and ShiraVN to be clear. The issue is that they constantly give excuses and never take responsibility for their shitty decisions and put the absolute bare minimum effort required into their titles. They also only release on steam and will force people to go to offsite locations to download restoration patches despite the title being tagged as Adult-Only on steam which requires users to be legal adults and manually set steam option to show Adult titles to view and purchase it. They're extremely anti-consumer as a result.

I guess Halloween is a good enough time to announce titles as any. At least, that's when I assume any October announcements would be made. It kind of explains Rance 01's somewhat odd end of October release date; best to announce new titles soon after or soon before something popular comes out.

>>27835865
Decided to handle Evenicle 2 themselves without MG because of the shit tons of money Evenicle 1 made Mangagamer and as a result the title will now have mosaics ("Because we're a japanese company!") and a shit ton of content cut out to get it onto steam (which they never told anyone about by the way, they only brought it up when consumers noticed it in the demo and began review bombing the demo) which will NOT have a restoration patch available. They're "looking into" a third-party storefront other than steam so they can sell a version without any cut content but there's only 2 storefronts they can use to publish Evenicle 2 without cut content. That would be Fakku and Mangagamer because no other storefront can sell all of the content inside Evenicle 2 and they can't use Mangagamer for obvious reasons.

I believe MG doesn't have the manpower to handle Evenicle 2 and release quickly so I'm glad AS decided to translated themselves. As for censorship I don't really care about the amount of cut content the steam version have as long as the game is released uncensored on other stores. I don't know why they couldn't release it on MG's store or go through Jast like that other anon suggested.

>> No.27837006

>>27836559
JAST can sometimes get away with
>Ah yes this loli is over 18! Didn't you read the disclaimer?
but they absolutely wont be able to sell a title with a character explicitly stated to be 12 being fucked for hours. No storefront except MG and Fakku can sell a title that has underage characters being fucked.

>>27836577
>>27836724
The fact that they're forcing mosaics in when the previous title didn't have mosaics, cutting out 20+ h-scenes without telling anyone while explicitly stating that there will not be a restoration patch when they were, caught when the original was released on steam completely uncensored, is absolutely fucking disgusting.
I should also mention that the translation in the demo was dogshit. It was worse than ANY Sekai Project release and arguably worse than Mangagamers original translations from 10+ years ago with entire characters completely rewritten and every single piece of dialogue excessively localized to the point that it bears no relation to the original material. Not in context, not in intent, nothing.

>> No.27837876

>>27837006
Though I suppose I should add that all of this discussion is more or less meaningless outside of informing people that the title will be censored at launch with no way to restore any of the removed content or remove the mosaics. Unless Alicesoft changes how they're releasing it on steam, the amount of copies they sell will be extremely small, exceeding no more than 15% of Evenicle 1's sales based on current market trends. Mind you this is assuming the official release is sold exactly the same as the demo and no major influencers feature the title. This leads me to believe that after the (comparatively) abysmal sales of the title, Alicesoft will contract Mangagamer to publish it on their own storefront in an attempt to recoup the losses incurred bringing over the title given that Mangagamer managed to move so many copies of the original. This will enable Mangagamer to publish a completely uncensored release.

Again all of this hinges on both Alicesoft continuing with how they're releasing it on steam, and steam actually accepting it on their storefront. If steam doesn't even accept it on their storefront, Alicesoft is going to be even worse off because they will have no chance to be able to make back the large amount of money they're spending on expediting the Evenicle 2 localization.

Normally I'd say it was Quof but he made it abundantly clear on multiple occasions that he has absolutely nothing to do with it, nor anything to do with the game other than translating the Japanese text to the closest possible English equivalent word and sending it to other people to edit and rewrite. So I would assume it was their PR guy or the lead translator because if Quof did it, it'd have been a literal translation.

I don't think I've ever seen someone in an official capacity distance themselves so far so quickly on a project in the VN industry. Literally the first day the demo was released. It's absolutely hilarious

>I have nothing to do with the translation and localization of Evenicle 2, nor the company behind it, nor the people working on it other than translating the Japanese text as literally as possible into English and sending it to someone higher on the chain. I have no creative input, I have no political input, I have no localization input, I just straight convert the japanese text into english like a machine and send it down the line.

Two days later someone else in the thread mentions how terrible it was and Quof pops up again
>Again I'd like to stress that I have no input whatsoever on the Evenicle 2 project, none of the text I touched was related to the demo, I don't know anything about localizing the title, I was just told to translate text as literal as possible even if no westerner would know what the text is referencing and send it further down the line and that's all I'm doing.

I'm sure it's a shame for him too since it's a title he enjoyed very much. It's pretty strange how some translators get absolutely no say in the editing process once they hand off the translation. Same thing happened to Kirby on his mystery game that he said we all hated the translation for.
