>>41763187
Sorry y'all, had a rough week at work and didn't have the energy to get any translation done. I worked on a couple other random tasks though, so it wasn't like I was doing nothing at all.

>>41763187
That's understandable, after all this week we got a lolige. Concentrating in such circumstances us impossibke,

>>41765428
He's right, but GSS hasn't been popular in the west since like 2011 where it appeared in MG's proto-licencing survey

>>41765428
yes moogy, GSS on steam is definitely more impactful than Muv-luv uh huh sure
how do you even become so out of touch within such a niche community you're still working for

>>41766202
I'd actually say it was more impactful because unlike the official muv-luv release, it wasn't butchered to hell and back with a bunch of content cut out that they never mentioned and can't be patched back in.

>>41766217
There are more people playing both Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative individually on Steam right now than GSS, and GSS just came out.

>>41766231
Maybe everyone playing in Jast?

>>41765428
It must be hard to be Moogy... to hate EOPs so much and yet depend on them for a living

MG already said at a panel earlier this year that they weren't doing it.

The guys doing Caucasus are doing KnS3 anyway according to them.

>>41768438
Are they good?

>>41768364
Hope they at least have some announcements.

>>41768438
>>41769483
I'm waiting for Caucasus to judge them. I don't know the name of the translator and they seem to be pretty discreet so it's a good sign.

>>41771038
If you want to judge them now you could read their TL of Kamaitachi no Yoru.

>>41767799
>Moogy - she
Yup, "she's" cute kawai desuu.

>>41770316
They probably won't announce anything decent sadly.

>>41773635
I expect from them even more gay stuff, tentacles, maybe a very cheap moege (like Lunatics) and also another very cheap 2hours nukiges.
...and most likely an announcment that they're dropping the Sakuranomori Dreamers sequel same as they did with KNS3.

>>41773635
They better announce a release date for IX.

>>41772184
Release this year?

how will they ruin the game with rewrites this time?

Hopefully next month sice they seem to have stalled most other project for it.

How many more Rance titles are left for Mangagamer to translate?

IX, 03 and X. Unless Alicesoft decide to make 04.

>>41781285

Never happening. Rance series is over for good. The turnover was way too powerful at Alicesoft.

>le age meme
Why are zoomers like this?

>>41783153
It has soul.

>>41785227
It's not really that hard to understand. When you release something from 2006 almost 20 years later, there has been plenty of better or similar things released since then. Imagine if Ocarina of Time got released today AFTER Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild, Twilight Princess, and everything else. You're naturally going to think it is fucking dogshit.

>>41786004
>2006
Muv-Luv Alternative is still the highest rated title on VNDB
> You're naturally going to think it is fucking dogshit.
well yeah its a zelda game after all

>>41786440
That shit has been in the top spot for as long as I can remember on vndb (2011) because it was among the first major VNs to be translated

CoZbros................... it's over................ we lost........................

>>41787360
Did they get a C&D?

>>41783437
Huh, 5 years since the KS. That's a bit shorter than I expected. Felt more like a decade.

>>41786512
VN fan translation is a decent bit older than that. If you only count notable titles, Muv Luv Alternative might be in the first 100 TLs or so. If I had to say which titles count as one of the first, I would guess Ever17, Tsukihime, or Kanon, but those are probably wrong. I've only been around since 2010

>>41786440
Muv-Luv is just babbies first visual novel. Of course it's going to be at the top.

>>41786512
what's the reason it's highly rated on EGS then

>>41789181
Twizzlers are popular in Japan.

>>41789155
so what you're saying is there's nothing holding a 2006 game back

>>41789155
Wasn't that YMK?

>>41790596
No what I'm saying is everyone reads Muv-Luv first so it defines their perspective moving forward. I'm sure I would've loved GSS if I hadn't read 300 other visual novels before it.

>>41791220
A lot of people seem to be loving it.

>>41791331
>a lot

>>41791451
delete this

>>41791220
White Album 2 and Muramasa both got higher average ratings when they came out in english, both over a decade after they were originally released. Neither are on Steam so you can't pretend it's an influx of newfags with either.

>>41791072
No, that would be a high-middle just behind Ever17.

>>41791072
Do people still recommend YMK to newfags? It's a good VN, but kind of old. To be fair, I think F/SN is still recommended to newfags, but that's F/SN

>>41791451
>steamcuck
lol, the absolute state of zoomers

>>41792175

>more clockup shovelware
>still no Rance
It's not coming out this year is it...

>>41793640
Nope.

>>41792439
It probably varies per title. It's probably true for Nekonyan moege, but GSS was butchered to be on Steam, so it's plausible that more people bought it on JAST than on Steam. GSS can't compete with fujo titles, but it probably sold enough to warrant more Black Cyc stuff. I'm definitely hoping for Extravagance.

>>41794227
I hope for Mindead Blood.

>>41793590
>Still sold more on jast store, cope
Source: dude trust me. Or some faggot from jastcord said it so it must be true, cope.

>>41794227
Pretty much this. Most people didn't know it was on Steam until JAST mentioned it themselves. So the only ones buying it there would be the ones that are anal about having every game in the same Steam library. Why else would you buy a butchered version and deal with patches?

>>41793590
Rance sells like shit, I doubt GSS sells better. The vast majority of VN readers are not interested in buying

Man GSS just feel bland i hope Tokyo Necro is good

>>41795652
Only two routes are really good

>>41795397
>Why else would you buy a butchered

>>41796492

>>41796326
I would say one. Quite disapointing as N+ VN. I don't understand the hype.

>>41796553
Which one? Kiriri's? that one is so fucking good. And yeah, I don't get it either, the OP is really cool I guess

>>41796488
>>41796492
I don't mean the pixel pussies and dicks. I mean everything that has something that might have schoolgirls in it. Or who knows what the rules are right now. You never know what will get banned and what not. Only pig disgusting 3D WEG shit seems to get a free pass.

>>41796934
Yeah, steam is pretty shitty in that sense. I'd really like to have all my VNs just in one store

>>41796934
rules are: fuck you eop
deal with it
jast trash (except nitro/nitro chiral stuff maybe) won't ever gonna sell as much as yuzushit or kekopara or sci-adv on steam does, no matter how much you cope

>>41796934
That only happens if it's a western release. Look at Monobeno; asian publissshier, has schoolgirls, lolis and it's the 18 version. Steam allowed it.

MG confirmed announcements for Saturday at Anime NYC. I don't think we'll get anything more notable than Uchikano 3, but it would be funny if we got Kara no Shoujo -Bishoujo Gakuen 1

>>41799477
Isn't it time for another otome title or something.

>>41799477
Rance 9 release date onegai

>>41802080
They just announced Kenzen 2's release date yesterday. They aren't going to announce another release date till that's out.

>>41802197
They could announce something in the beginning of December or so since they've had overlapping preorder periods before, but that's pretty unlikely.

>>41801384
Maybe one day, we'll get an otome game that actually resembles the ones protrayed in isekai villainess stories

Everything JAST does sells from decent to good on their own store. They would have never done GSS if DEA had flopped. And DEA Steam numbers are worse than GSS. GSS Steam numbers are actually good for VN standards, compare them with recent MG and Sekai numbers, or almost everything Shira.

GSS has to have made a lot of money because otherwise JAST couldn't afford to pay people to talk about how successful and great the VN is in this thread.

>>41802931
GSS has been one of the most requested VNs for a decade now, of course people are going to talk about it.

>>41802908
>or almost everything Shira.
the fuck are you blabbing about, retarded shilltranny?

>>41802959
>mostly everything
>picks the one title that took somhow took off with chinks as exanple
That is literally the only Shira title that didn't flop, aside from Utawarerumono.

>>41802957
>GSS has been one of the most requested VNs for a decade now,
No it hasn't. It was an irrelevant relic and almost completely forgotten by 2010. It ONLY became 'popular and highly requested' when it was announced by JAST, the same as all sorts of other VNs nobody gives a shit about are claimed to have been popular and highly requested masterpieces all along.

>>41803048
>while I will keep enjoying kamige
like gss? (laughs)

>>41803051
Anything that's translated and out of JOP's hands isn't "kamige" anymore. Just another moving the goalpost tactic they always pull. It gets old after a hilw.

>>41802957
If you search on /vg/ b4k then you'll see that GSS was only really mentioned there after it was announcet and most of the posts pre-announcement were from fucking Hata.

>>41803177
I agree that Gore Screaming Show is super niche, but /vn/ is the moege general. It's not really a great indicator of the popularity of anything other than moege.

>>41803159
No, GGS was never kami among JOP circles. On the other hand, Muramasa is still kami, Subahibi is still kami, White Album 2 is still kami, etc

>>41803051
You have no fucking clue, its ridiculous. GSS gained popularity due to a long ass thread on the old JAST forums in 2006! and JAST said back then they will not localize it which is why many years later fan tl projects started over and over and never got anywhere. This game is one of the most coveted eroge releases and that's why it is going to sell thousands of copies on both Steam and JAST. It is JASTs evenicle if they could advertise it well enough.

>>41792158
>but that's F/SN
what does that even mean?

>>41808357
NTA but Fate as a franchise is popular enough that people who don't typically read VNs might still read it. It's a higher grossing franchise than either Naruto or Zelda.

>>41808405
Thanks, was't sure if anon meant that or just that SN is simply superior to other things.
Anyway really? Even more than Naruto, are you sure?

>>41808405
>It's a higher grossing franchise than either Naruto or Zelda
because of a fucking mobile game, not the visual novels.

>>41808510
well, we're talking about franchises here.

>>41808456
Yeah, I meant as to how normalfag it was. I'm pretty sure Type-MOON is the most relevant VN company right now.

>>41808510
yeah duh i literally specified as a franchise. in fact it's why it's the most popular VN
No one cares about for example Muv-Luv outside of VN people so even with how high its ratings are it likely won't be your very first since the layman wouldn't have reason to look into what VN readers like. Fate having a massive gacha means as long as the game is running there will be new people reading FSN out of franchise interest alone.

Nooo, they are not actually bad, you are bad for not liking my kamige.

When the fuck was that. I still remember putting this on hold 5 or 6 years ago waiting for it. It has supposedly been translated and editted for over 3 years.

The "HD" version.
You don't really need it, OG Katahane is fully translated and playable.

Yes, so what? Has many cringe parts but as I stated before the high score (9) is because mechas... and animations; I'm fan of these. Otherwise the score would go lower.

I agree with you with some of these flaws. BS; to many repetitive fragments + flashbacks, YN second half was good until the family drama and revenge part, to rushed, 9Nin I enjoyed more the first 2 chapters than the late one, I consider WA2 too overhyped din't enjoy it as much, Rance?... got burned with it till boredom, and Rewrite to chuuni, specially the Moon part and that weird ending.

I mean when was "Progress being made again", last year I remember checking and there was an update in 2021 saying they were still working on it but it was translated back in 2019.
