Why are westoids like this?
Even the depths of the vn community have this objectively false brain rot. Im sick of it

Why do the other companies even bother with long VNs when that Living With Sister game will just outsell everything.

>>46435032
The VN community had translators (and even a CEO) very vocally sperg out against the people who played their games and talk about how much they hated them on public profiles. For once this isn't the usual /v/ retardation flooding in, the scene has been mutual seethe for over a decade now.

>>46434632
Is this the last one in the series?

>>46436092
They're doing https://vndb.org/v20604 too

>>46435216
living with shit is not a VN and has miniscule amount of text, plus shitty doujin craps are not a replacement for a VNs, same with winter memories overrated dogslop.

Why tourists like this work in this industry, again? Jast/lovelab qa strikes again.

>>46437089
Same guy btw.

>>46437089
>> mentally ill
>> feminist
you dont need to repeat yourself bubby

>>46437089
Who are you quoting?

>>46435032
Westoids are like this because of postmodernism and irony culture, an actual otaku culture and understanding of 2D never developed in the west so they views all these works through a lens of gay irony and tumblr sociology. The tumblr sociology dictates that marxist oppressor/oppressed dynamics are applicable to fictional characters and that fiction can be exploitative. Following this framework, loli is essentially the most oppressive and exploitative of all art and must be rejected.

>>46428296
Got any screenshots? Proof?

>>46435032
Usually these basedboys are pedos who love VNs with lolis but are afraid of getting criticized on social media by their friends.
To mitigate it they will be very vocal on the social media and at the same time translating porn lines from a h-scene with a loli.

>>46437699
Pretty sure he's speaking out his ass.
Although the translator doesn't seem to be a fan of loli stuff it's still his favorite VN.

just hide with no stubs. its the retarded attention whores bitching over nothing again.

this december, surely, will be one with angels

>>46450553
Soon, i hope.

>>46450564
>>46452580
But they have to finish Rance first

>>46451142
Will they really wait that long?

>>46450553
Have to wonder what kind of problems they are having getting Railore on Steam, as its been out of beta for a while now.

>>46460890
I think it's not only MG. Everyone else has been dealing with this as well. I do think it's due to there being many submissions to where the ones that usually approve Japanese things are having to take longer to go through it all.

>>46440767
>>46451142
Is #ensue on rizon even still alive?

Last update on the translator's blog was in December
https://mercurialtapestry.net/2023/12/25/why-not-try-translating/
>With the Tenina translation project wrapping up and my remaining duties now being mostly managerial, I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the long journey behind me. For the handful of people waiting for any news at all, while there was a rough start in the beginning of the editing phase, a stable team has been assembled and consistent progress is being made. This should be the last December without angels.

>>46462833
Shiravune and Kagura don't seem to have that problem.

>>46466238
Probably because Kagura has chinese capital backing and Shiravune is DMM, while MG is a glorified indie brand. Valve is a lot like sony, they give preference to big guys over small ones.

>>46467911
>chinese capital
What?

>>46467911
kagura is the glorified indie brand, they dont translate anything that is not indie slop

>much chinese capital
Dont care, shitna is a shit country what will collapse soon anyway

mg update
>Funbag Fantasy 4 is now 80% translated and 78% edited!
>Beat Valkyrie Ixseal is 84% translated and 81% edited!
>Welcome to a Sexy, Open World! is 92% translated and 86% edited!
>Rance 03 is 73% translated and 41% edited!
>Rance X is 90% translated and 5% edited!
>Hana Awase New Moon’s PC port is in progress!

>>46472763
Not bad. Seems like summer is going to be packed with releases with Open World, Funbag and Beat Valkryie. Rance X made dramatic progress. I still think it will be two years or less though due to Editing and also Gameplay debugs.

>>46472763
Some poor sap hopes Rance X will be out by 2025, fucking lol.

>>46472763
if they dont manage to release FF4 before KF5 i'm gonna ask shiravune to pick it up.

>>46477973
I hate MG as much as the next guy, but them losing Kyonyuu Fantasy would be horrible. The team that works on those games are some of the best in the scene.

>>46474054
Hope this ends the bottleneck and they start with monthly releases again.

>>46477973
Do they actually listen to requests?

>>46476719
I can't imagine editing and testing taking as much time as it took to translate but I don't see it coming out for another 3-4 years.
I wonder how much this game will have costed to localize by the end of it. We can no doubt add it to the prestigious list of games that took 10+ years to finish.

>>46485052
who knows, they did picked up stuff like kara no shoujo and azarashi.

>>46485631
Well it's 4,133,691 moji apparently. So if Ludo's getting paid the same amount Arunaru was (1.75c per moji) it will have costed them $70k just for the translation alone (if they didn't re-do Arunaru's work). And if we assume editors are paid 1/3 of that then that's another $20k.
I don't know if it's still the case but MG used to pay their programmers quite well so that's another big chunk of change.
There's also the fact that they got the licence for the game only a few months after it came out so they probably paid quite a bit for that too.

So with all that I'd assume it would be somewhere around $200-250k

>>46486027
i'm sure releasing the game when the hype is gone and nobody give a shit anymore will boost the sales. the good old mg's marketing strategy.

>>46486077
They're probably forced to take it slow or else they'd go broke.

>>46486465
New thread up with the updates for this week.

>>46486094
I thought about this when Muramasa came out. JAST was radio silent on it for years then suddenly announced it was coming out in a month (or few months I forget).
That seems like the best way to please fans with the illusion that it's coming out "soon" while also generating hype. I feel like more big releases should do that.
Although, I have a feeling Alicesoft made them announce it because they wouldn't normally announce it that quickly.
