I don't know about that game but it's a good thing

Not even on steam yet, it's on greenlight

Eitherway I think it's a great idea...

>>9658026
Analogue, "kind of" VN is released on Steam.

Hell yes, unless you're a nerd, then you won't like it.

OELVNs are not /jp/ related, that goes to /vg/.

That game was made by Canadians and it's quite old (and boring) what is it doing on steam?

Good thing for sure. I see nothing negative on it. Though I think many of these will never leave the greenlight. Or rather never get the greenlight.

I'm fine with it. JAST might be able to get some of their titles through it since apparently they can't get them on steam normally due to publishing porn games

>>9658043
I don't quite understand these rules, The Witcher 2 has porn and is released on steam, so why not VNs?

Is this for reals? ):

>>9658047
It's not that VN's aren't allowed (Christine Love got one of her games on it), it's that Valve aren't willing to put games on steam from a publisher that's put out porn games in the past. Witcher is smutty but it isn't porn.

>>9658052
Gaben is idiot.

Vote down all of them please.

>>9658029
I was talking about OP's picture

>>9658050

How about Higurashi?

>>9658050
sorry off topic
>let's help hollywood find the perfect snake for metal gear solid
whoever got the role for snake i hope they dub it with David Hayter voice

They could have changed the default ren'py font.
VNs on Steam are cool though

why do normalfags have to contaminate everything that I love? Is no niche safe anymore? I just want some corner of the internet where I can be left alone
I mad

> Are you going to disappear from society, not take showers, and stay in your room all day?
What the hell is this? I can disappear from society while still acting like a perfect british gentleman, take showers, have a cup of tea, read books, et cetera.

Also, am I the only one amused by the fact that they put this screenshot on Steam? What are they trying to say? Am I overthinking this?

Also,
> VNs on Steam
I don't like where this is going.

It'd be an interesting idea, but I don't see it happening. You need a ton of likes to get anywhere, and the down votes apparently counteract it. The highest thing so far is one of those 2spooky4u slenderman knock offs at 8%.

I don't want to see any more OELVNs on Steam, they make me sad.

Lets upvote more moe games!

>>9658050
Fuck, it's true.

As long as they are not shit then why not.
Then again, it might attract many new people to /jp/.
It will be our job to educate them and make them into good posters.
Be prepared

Why is that retard Aaeru still alive?

Good lord. Get out.

Please stop this. Moe is neither a genre nor an aesthetic.

>>9658356
Yes, I will pray that you will hit yourself in the head so hard you will forget to ever come back in here.

>>9658340

There is this even bigger retard using her tweets as a news source and posting it elsewhere for normals who don't even give a shit about untranslated stuff but keep posting "gah I wish I knew jap :(((( xD cute art tho"" I want wait till [whatever] gets an english patch xD" and so on

>>9658016
Fuck off Reddit.

>>9658347
>>9658385
lol the fuck you cock commandos gonna do about it? thats right sit your ass down

I couldn't care less for anything related to steam.

>using steam

An hero you'reselves pls

There's too many pending games on here to find stuff easily.

I'd gladly trade more popularity of the works for the chance that more stuff will get translated. I mean, what if one of the publisher groups over in Japanland sees it as a great distribution means (assuming all-ages versions) and decides hiring translators directly and putting their games right onto Steam themselves is a viable method?

It's maybe a good idea. Maybe a horrible idea. Only time will tell, and I guess there are already quite a few doujinworks on Steam anyways, such as all the goon's translations of games, those Gundemonium games, silly corean VN-things, and others.

Is there Japanese steam for people like us?

steam is shit, I won't buy their gay western vn's.

Test.

>>9658946
What does Kotick have to do with EA and Steam?

>>9659058
So you would buy proper VNs?

Your opinion is irrelevant if you've never paid for one and aren't interested in doing so.

>>9659224
localization of VNs shouldn't exist
lazy fucks that cant into jap
pls die fast and easy assholes

>>9659234
>pls

>>9659234
I agree.

>>9659234
Says someone who only reads boring crap that wasn't even worth translating.

>>9659241
stay mad 4ever english only pleb

>>9659244
Two languages are nothing. Come back when you know four, nerd.

>>9659245
im trilingual

>>9659293
No. You're a lazy NEET so your work will be half-assed and never make it past the voting.

>>9658153
Stay mad and self-entitled, Newbie McTryhard.

You buzzword-dropping, memespouting faggot.

Can I support my NEETing by making shitty VNs on steam?

>>9659241
Things only get translated if they're edgy and grimdark enough

I honestly can't understand why someone, especially if your a shut-in, would get mad that something they like gets popular.

>>9659304
This is why they are shut-ins in the first place.

>>9658029
Analogue is a piece of shit.

I've seen a lot better freeware VNs.

>>9659313
That doesn't even make sense

>>9659304
To stay shut-in.
Or to stop what they like from going down the drain. People ruin everything.

>>9659324
Cruel, but true.

>>9659329
sage goes in the name field

>>9659334
oh thx

What will happen if Touhou becomes full mainstream everywhere on the internet and people start calling Okuu "kawaii megaman anime gurl xDD"?
Will you all abandon your hobbies and look for new ones?

>>9659345
That's already happened.

>>9659345
It's already mainstream.

>>9659350
No, I mean even more popular and known around the net than now. I mean like when it'll be totally raped and no character is save anymore.

>>9659313
>>9659324
Why can't you just ignore people though?

>>9659368
Because they're loud.

>>9659345
It probably won't matter much as the influence won't be felt that strongly on places like /jp/. It's the same way people don't care about /vg/s vn threads much even though they're an eyesore.

>>9659345
>Okuu "kawaii megaman anime gurl xDD"
That isn't very different than what's already posted here on /jp/, so I don't know what you're worried about.

>>9659359
see
>>9659350

This will only serve the purpose of swindling the already existing weeaboo fanbase. People in remote corners of the internet won't be affected and won't buy into this shit. Meanwhile, I'll remove any person playing VN's on steam from my friends list as I misjudged their character.

>>9659546
>remove people paying for VNs in an accessible way

So you're not only a leech, but you don't even like other people supporting things?

Real fucking cool, man. You'll sure show those guys what they get if they cross you.

>>9660027
I didn't say any of that.

If non-ero KS ever gets released on Steam as f2p it will be the end of western VN market.

I sorta pity some of you.

>>9660204
It's implicit.

>>9660218
What makes you think that?

>>9660218
>>9660321

People weren't happy with how popular it got the first time, getting it on steam would make it available for an even larger audience.

I don't think I'd like that, and I enjoyed it a lot.

>>9660352
I will never understand this whole "popular = abandon ship" mentality.

>>9660352
epic spoilers dude

>>9660362
Well, normals tend to ruin everything. Look at the internet now compared to what it was 10 years ago.

>>9660372
How are things ruined? Because their opinions or actions differ from the initial fanbase?

I'm with this guy >>9659368, who cares if retards act like retards?

>>9660383
Things that become popular flood in cash which makes the developers/writers/whatever cater to the "new audience" or "broader audience" instead which ruins the product.

>>9660362
It's more of >>9660146

Uncaring companies start localizing games (cut content and shitty translation job) and people eat their shit up like the lambs they are. It's more of a problem for people relying on localizations though.

Then you get normals ruining the "super sicrit krub".
Also, they tend to spoil shit up. I looked up Kara no Shoujo's intro movie on youtube and the first fucking comment with most upvotes was "I was sad cause XYZ character died ;_;". And I was planning on reading all the Innocent Grey games in a row.

Same shit with Umineko and Kana.

>>9660362
>>9660383

I'd never abandon something because it got popular, but I'd like to avoid things such as My Little Pony fanart of KS (which already exists) and new people coming here once they found out about its origins

>>9660387
Well, I don't think it would be anything but f2p, and my guess is the devs wouldn't even allow it on Steam

>>9660218
You're thinking is narrow.
Any western VN that is going to be financially successful isn't going to have to differentiate itself anyways.

>>9660304
No it's not, you distorted my words to fit your strawman argument.

>>9660544
I didn't distort anything because I'm not the one who made the argument in the first place.

>>9660577
That makes no sense. You took my argument, distorted it, then made your argument based on your petty distortions. Stop being childish and take things for what they are before jumping into righteous rage.

>>9660595
I said I didn't distort anything because I'm not the one who posted >>9660027

I don't mind at all. Not like I read translations, anyway.

>>9661343
What an nerdling.

any way you look at this its just going to popularize VN's
I thought everyone here would be against that
