>Stuff like this has been either added or updated since the last thread

>MG may not release anything in Febuary

It's been 1 whole year and 3 months since MG put out a moege

>>32664707
It's a miracle.

>>32664707
Kimihane is a moege.

>>32665827
yuri shit doesn't count

>>32666267
Why not? Because you don't like it?

>>32664707
Good

>Eiyuu*Senki GOLD - 100% translated
I recall playing the first one and it was pretty good. Basically a cheap, moe Sengoku Rance. Anyone knows how long before it's done? 1 year maybe?

Another week of nothing huh.
>Rewrite+ - Overall 55% translated and 44% edited, Q2 release planned
Ahahahaa so much for the January release. How fucking incompetent are they? The dead guy was already at like 60% 1.5 years ago before Ludo jumped on it. He did shit all and they hired 3 or so co-translators and still nothing.
Well, at least they'll rerelease Leyline 1 soon in December 2019 and the rererereretranslation of Hoshimeme will be ready any day now lol.

>>32664382
Hopefully they will release a lot stuff faster then their normal monthly releases to even things out.

Was there ever a serious effort to translate Kishin Hishou Demonbane? JAST sure as fuck won't do it.

>>32673666
Don't think so. No one but the mad really want to touch Nitroplus titles because DMCA. I wonder about JAST's plans after they release all their big titles like Sumaga, Muramasa, Django etc. in 2060+. I honestly don't see them licensing more of these games.

>>32674459
>Sumaga
>Django
Didn't you know? These titles don't work on windows 10. Pic totally unrelated!
https://discuss.jastusa.com/discussion/255270/so-outlaw-django-is-officially-cancelled-now/p1?new=1

>>32674459
That's a shame. A long time ago I spoke with a JAST worker at a con and they actively scoffed at the idea of bothering with the second game, so unless a fan group can stay totally under the radar I doubt we'll ever see it. I guess the first didn't sell too well, not that JAST was particularly good at marketing back then.

>>32675092
>These titles don't work on windows 10
And why would I care about that?

>July 2018
>With Nitroplus titles we put our best translator on their games to be in charge of either the TL or TLC. Work has been done for Django, but other newer titles keep pushing its priority down. I personally would like to see Django out before 2020, so I'll be talking to our team about that.
So those higher priority titles were what: Flower 2+3, Totono, Lilium x Trianalge, Mamono Musume Lamia, Amayakase, Daraku Otome, Princess X FD, Shoujo Dominance, Kanosen, Sadistic Blood, Majikoi.
I'm certain their best translator didn't work on a single one of these crap titles. Is makoto even still alive?

>>32675139
Something tells me not even GHS will pick it up lol.

>>32676368
>And why would I care about that?
They will never be released for that reason (even if that reason is a lie).

>>32676368
Makoto edited Princess X, he is in the credits.

>>32678526
Waste of his time on that kusoge.

>>32662435
>Django - Waiting on translation.

Is the translator okay?

Dead thread

>>32694214
Dead medium. New releases are just flies rising from the corpse.

>>32694754
We are getting this in two days https://store.steampowered.com/app/1277510/ReZERO_Starting_Life_in_Another_World_The_Prophecy_of_the_Throne/

Are there any VNs that I can play on a phone?

>>32695246
Some Cherry Kiss stuff

Let's just do it and send it to Light guys:

https://www.change.org/p/light-silverio-franchise-localization/share_for_starters?just_created=true&tag_selected=other_topic

>>32662435
Jast is just plowing through the slow damage translation are fujobucks really that much better?

>>32695881
It's probably a contact thing since they originally wanted simultaneous release.

>>32695690
Didn't they go bankrupt?

Fan translations 5 years ago were faster than professional now.

>>32664382
Who cares. It's not like they have anything worthwhile to release. Literally Shovelware Gamer.

>>32705354
>Literally Shovelware Gamer.
Besides maybe Uchikano, what Shovelware do they have? I'd say it's Sekai that has the shovelware, some of their games aren't even listed in the OP because they're so low quality that literally no one has heard about them.

>>32705562
>what Shovelware do they have?
Literally everything besides Rance.

>>32705642
Stop using words you don't understand the meaning of.

>>32705724
Ignore the rancefag. Anything not rance is worthless to them.

>>32703251
I believe they kind of went indie and started publishing light novels.

>>32704490
Most fan translations 5 years ago died or got bought up. Seriously. What (good) fan translation worth a shit has come out in the past 5 years? No offense to Irru and Trip, but they were the only ones to do stuff in a timely manner but they only translated kusoge. Ntranon did a few decent nukige, I guess, but for the most part his fetishes don't align with my own so I never read them. I guess there was Daito but that was hardly timely nor was it a good translation. A fun read regardless, but still.

>>32709121
Baldr Force

>>32704490
Musicus got translated real fast and yet it hasn't released.

>>32709722
Blame steam.

Hi. /vg/agdg indie game developer here. Sorry if this isn't the most appropriate thread to use, I'm not sure where to ask.
Must erotic content that people consume in Japan be censored per se, or must it be consumed censored?
The question might be a bit confusing. If I release an erotic game with an option to enable censorship so that genitals will be occluded, would this game be legal for Japanese people to play, as long as they enable the censorship option themselves, and only in that case? Or should I make two versions: one where censorship is mandatory because that is what the law asks for Japanese people for their erotic content?
Thanks and sorry for the bad wording.

>>32712326
You have to make two versions.

>>32695169
Is this supposed to prove that post wrong?

>>32670915
Nobody really knows. Your estimate may be good though.

>>32712326
Are you planning on selling your game on a Japanese platform? Otherwise why would you care.
And if you are, why? I doubt there are many japs that give a fuck about foreign eroge and the few that do would find a way to get it from whatever western platform you use, it wouldn't be illegal for them to do that just like how it's not illegal for them to access pornhub.

>>32712326
If you want to sell on a japanese platform you need your title to be censored, if you don't give a shit about selling it on a japanese platform, you can release it uncensored with a japanese language option. It's legal to own uncensored pornography in japan, just not legal to sell it in japan.

>>32713056
>>32720808
>>32724484
Thanks a lot

>>32695690
50-ish sigs? This is going places.

>>32724598
You're welcome

>>32714416
Maybe

Assisting

>>32675092
Excuse my lack of knowledge for a moment here.
But what even makes a Windows game/program/whatever unable to run on W10 even if it was able to run just fine on older versions of the OS?
Isn't W10, and Windows in general, meant to be backwards compatible? What is W10 missing that say Windows XP had?

>>32744209
The way it reads hardware is different, the way it launches software is different. Normally it can calculate for all that and you only need a few minor changes to get it running smoothly but we're talking about japanese code here which barely works on the original intended OS.

>>32662435
Aiyoku No Eustia

unofficial work?

How's the translation of the Saya no Uta remaster compared to the original?

>>32745261
equal or slightly better. The big takeaway is the removal of mosaics.

>>32745284
Oh wow, unexpected. Good shit, someone told me it was more westernized and toned down but they were probably talking out of their ass

>>32745378
Westernized? I guess that's technically correct but no more so than the average piece of translated media. That tends to happen when you officially translate anything though. It most certainly isn't toned down however.

>>32745413
Sweet. So what, they just got rid of honorifics and added burgers or something then?

>>32745454
Probably just the honorifics, I didn't notice anything particularly excessive.

>>32744209
Most games do work. There are a few that don't, but most Nitroplus titles definitely do. If I'm remembering correctly there is literally no difference between their old release of Muramasa and their new Windows 10 Support Edition apart from the name.

>>32744209
Over newer Windows versions certain graphical functions that a VN uses can get deprecated or even removed. An example would be some VNs use to use DirectDraw which was deprecated in Windows 7 and basically became near unusable in Windows 8 and later without lots of workarounds.

Dead again

Why are there almost no releases in January? Even the list of Japanese releases look barebones.

>>32758897
January is usually slow.

I want to extract demonbane animations and try to make a patch adding the new CG's/animations from the remake.
I tried quickbms method, but several of the extracted videos are still corrupted, even using the fixed script.
So there is a method to extract .NPK format using Garbro, but i receive pic related error everytime i try to open a .NPK file.
So can an anon test it? And if it works, could you upload the videos?
This is the method: https://zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13989#p58159
And this is the .NPK with the animations: https://mega.nz/file/FeRyCbQQ#pU8gElHM-e6XH2abab2r0yJo2OrrmUJ9JHx9NtTjc98
Thanks for your time.

I'll let here one of the few not corrupted videos (heavy spoilers) https://files.catbox.moe/o5kdi5.mp4

>>32760325
Do you know if there's a way to get a fully voiced version of Demonbane to work? Tried the voice patch, but failed

>>32760694
Did you saved Demonbane before applying the voice patch? If so, go to "C:\Users\Anon\AppData\Roaming\Nitroplus\Demonbane USA" and delete everything.
I'm fixing the demonbane eng voice patch as well, since it have serveral missing voices. And everytime i change the script to add a new voices, i need to delete that appdata folder, or it won't work.

>>32760914
Thanks, I will try this

>>32754235
>DirectDraw
DirectDraw is gone? I had no idea. Why?
I wrote my first SHMUP using DirectDraw. That's a shame. And that means my shitty little game hasn't been compatible with modern OSs for about a decade already and I never even knew. That's sad.

>>32765344
It was fully removed for a time but it was brought back. It is mostly only exists just as a compatibility layer now but most of the time it is broken on anything past windows 7 (even then it is buggy and crashy) from when ever I used anything that relied on it.
You can see some details on the wiki page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectDraw
>With the release of Windows Vista, DirectDraw no longer dealt with hardware-accelerated 2D graphics, and instead became a compatibility layer implemented using Direct3D.
>In June 2010, DirectDraw was removed from the DirectX SDK package,[2] but in 2012, the DirectX SDK was merged into the Windows Platform SDK, and DirectDraw was included once again

Heh, I never upgraded to Windows 10 because I wanted to play VNs.

Dead

>>32772969
A reason as good as any other.

>>32758897
Because people spent all their money for Christmas and have none leftover for games.

>>32772969
The only vns I had problems running in Windows 10 were My Girlfriend is the President and Comyu. But even those ran with a windows 8 .dll file(s) I found.

>>32797244
You can run anything in Win10 as long as you have persistence and some knowledge. I made to run even some vns from win95 era.

>>32662441
>Amatsutsumi - "Waiting on build"

>>32797590
I couldn't make Koichoco work on Win10 no matter what i did. Did i lack persistence/knowledge, coach?

>>32798002
Not him, but yes, probably. I just played Koichoco on Windows 10 a few months ago. For reference, I used the the Animebytes download. My only issue was I needed to have the virtual disc always inserted for it to work.

>>32783716
Deader than dead. But VNs have been dead for a while now

>>32803742

Major release incoming.

WA2 translation is almost complete

>>32823338
Isn’t the available translation bad?

>>32823496
They are redoing CC while retranslating huge chunks of it. They completely retranslated the coda common route throwing away the work done by the old translator. Let's just give them a second chance. This shit ain't gonna get official translation anyway so I'm hoping this at least turns out readable this time.

>>32823338
Why did they stop updating the progress

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/75jrvbvqey6gykm/AAAODJgQf2NB8WPIv3kJ90tla/stats.txt

>We’re nearing the end of the first month of 2021, and we’re pleased to provide you with a short update and roadmap of what’s coming.
>As of now, CODA has since been fully translated with the exception of its H scenes, which primarily includes the retranslation of CODA Common by @frogstat from the ground up. I myself have been busy with @Krizs tinkering with CC side girl routes (which were admittedly heavily flawed in quality), sometimes nearly retranslating entire segments, and since then, Koharu is now fully edited, Chiaki is very nearly complete, and Mari will follow shortly after. H-scenes and the digital novels in the base game are what remaining of translation work for our intended patch, with the bulk of the remaining work being editing from here on out.
>Once again, I’d like thank each and every one of you who have continued to support us throughout this project, and we’ll continue updating you on what’s to come as we continue to progress.

>>32821908
Now you guys can stop whining every thread. That is until 1 week after its release when you start crying about IX.

qureate VNs doesn't belong here?

>>32831211
IX is going to be a while since it seems like they haven't had any editors working on it since the translation was finished 2 years ago.

>>32831534
Aren't they simulreleases? There's no progress to talk about.

>>32664382

Now that's clear MG will have a big release in the end of Feb

tools were released for tanuki and kaeru soft, so they can finally be translated

>>32840965
Good luck with that.

>>32797795
Holy fuck I forgot it was even licensed

>>32831211
And after IX it's gonna be hell because it's gonna take years before X will release. Hopefully we will get something else than Rance from Alicesoft during that time.

>>32843873
If any manga gamer employees are reading, get Alicesoft's milf games.

>>32844580
Ignore this anon and pick up a good nukige instead.

>>32829870
Quite the surprise, I thought the project was dead. OP might want to include this again?

>>32844642
The milf games are good nukige.

>>32844872
Oyako Rankan is the only one that approaches good tier and the milf in that was the worst girl.
The plot of Tsumamigui 3 is batshit insane (in a bad way) and Ai was a god awful character.
Heartful Maman had okay scenes and Shiori was nice, but the ""gameplay"" part of the game is absolutely retarded and makes you save/load sometimes more than a dozen times to get the correct choice for the route you're doing since someone at Alicesoft decided to make it RNG based. Following a walkthrough is pretty much required.
I dropped Haha Ranman about an hour in because I couldn't be bothered with the ""gameplay"" which was also RNG based.

>>32845213
Don't care just want to coon to mommies

>>32845875
Based and cringe

>>32845875
Then ask for a MILF game that makes it easier.

>>32845875
I support you

>>32846960
Eh. I get it. Not like MG has a partnership with another company with mommyge. And I doubt any other localizer would even consider going after that market

>>32854574
I guess, but are games from companies that release MILF stuff really that hard acquire? I'm sure they'd be able to get something like Musumama if they wanted.

https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/1354989011622711299

>>32867333
Bet it's random nukige again. Fuck jast.

>>32869953
What's wrong with nukige?

>>32875493
Nothing, but the ones they release are shit. The last good one they released was Sweet Home.

>>32876143
Sadistic Blood was good shit

>>32876328
Maybe if you ctrled through it and only read the h-scenes.

Thank fucking God, no more vtuber shit here. Now I don't have to keep this thread bumped.

>>32876449
Finally back to taking it easy. Hopefully that guy who used to bump every thread on the catalog that was on page 10 goes with them.

>>32876449
What happened?

>>32876715
They got their own board, finally.

>New board added: /vt/ - Virtual YouTubers
Is /jp/ now saved?
To be perfectly honest though. Why they didn't make a straight up Idol board is beyond me. Virtual Youtubers are just virtual idols. That stream.

>>32877284
More like wannabe idols.

MG > ShiraVN

Did Sekai give up on doing long VNs, feels like they haven't had any major releases for a long time?

>>32881459
Just Sekai things I guess. Who knows what's going on there. Better to just ignore them.

>>32881459
I hope they're dying

>>32883630
I don't think so.

>>32662435
I pray that the English release of DMMd also entails a re-release of the soundtrack considering all the torrents are dead

Still dead.

>>32881459
You're right, their last game more than 10 hours long was Baldr Sky.
They do have a backlog full of decently sized games, but who knows if they'll ever release them.

仕方が無い

Imagine people who paid for the first Leyline and are still waiting for the sequel for years.

>>32898985
y-yeah, imagine that lol

>>32896676
You asked this a few threads ago and already got a response.

>>32898985
I didn't even pay for it and I still feel like I wasted my time reading it when it came out. It has been so long since I read it I only vaguely remember the details from it and I don't feel like reading it again if the other parts do eventually come out.
I know it was Sekai Project handling it but I still didn't expect they would basically just give up entirely on the thing and leave it to rot after it was said to be mostly translated.

>>32905353
just finished learning kana and all variant. Now onto common sentence then kanji. Will probably know how to read before they release that garbage. Oh well, that's very sad.

>>32905379
You'll quit in a month.

>>32905405
learning kana was pretty fun but it's indeed the complete opposite for sentences. Don't know how it'll turn for Kanji. Hopefully you're wrong, pretty motivated. Trying not to burn by limiting myself with 30min/per day, 5 days a week. Weekend is rest time.

>>32905460
Why you're trying to learn common sentences before you know basic grammar is beyond me, but you do you.

>>32905379
you're nvgm, dekinai-kun.
bragging about learning kana isn't impressive. everyone here knows kana. learning kana is like declaring an expression of interest to learn Japanese, not overcoming any hurdle or barrier to learning Japanese.

>>32905500
You're probably right, I was following some videos and that was the next phase. Thanks for pointing this mistake, I will go back to grammar. Vocabulary shouldn't be a priority, should've thought about it sooner.
>>32905525
of course. Not bragging, just started. Sorry if that was how it was portrayed. Pretty motivated thought so I don't think I will give up that easily.

Typical sekai move. I didn't picked it up because i knew it was going to be like that and trust i really want to read it because the series looks neat. Never trust SP.

>>32903963
the last answer I got was that it was going to be delayed but no one said until when

>>32905744
I don't see how that doesn't answer your question. Also you can always just ask them directly. Haro doesn't browse this thread anymore so far as I know and I don't think Doddler does anymore either so there's no one here that would know the answer to your question.

>>32662435
