Supposedly, they're going to do another QA pass for the steam release and putting up a patch for those who already own it. They also hired a freelance editor that was pointing mistakes on their forums.

Pretty much one guy is doing the hacking for all of the Alicesoft games too. After fixing up whatever bug reports he got from Evenicle, he has to work on scripting and doing post beta fixes for Sengoku. The earliest plausible release time is summer 2019, and that's if Sengoku releases this winter. Don't forget that Sengoku is a sandbox game and Rance Quest Magnum is just plain huge.

On the plus side, 01, IX, and 03 should be straight forward enough as all are linear enough and not quite as big as Rance Quest Magnum. Unfortunately for MG, Rance X is pretty much dwarfs everything else they have released. I wouldn't be surprised if that game was stuck for a year in just scripting and beta testing.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 22 19:36:04 2018 No.18876014 >>18875732 Fun fact, the script of Rance X is 8.4MB. That's not counting for anything like tag names or code, just plain script. Clannad's script is 3.16MB. Fate/Stay Night's script is 3.85MB.

Don't forget that in addition to its large size, it happens to have gacha elements. Double checking if every card that is supposed to drop actually drops and checking if all of the ticket scenes work properly on top of that will be hell. Cheat engine arguably can't help because you have to check if it works naturally.

>>18876897
If anything file size is the most accurate measure for scripts. Regardless of whether part of it is copypasted, it's still text that the reader has to go through. It's not like a lot of text from Clannad for example is exactly relevant, but the reader still goes through them. And the amount of unique text in Rance is still enormous. Almost everyone I know has taken 120-150 hours to get just the True Ending, although obviously there's also the gameplay, but even then most players are far from done with the game.

Anonymous Mon Apr 23 00:01:46 2018 No.18877529

>>18876897
In Rance X itself, there's very little copy paste, at least based on what the game considered previously read text on a replay. The ending quite a few similar scenes are copy pasted, but it's otherwise very rare. At most the copy pasted text is 10% of the text, which still makes the amount of unique text very massive.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 23 01:21:11 2018 No.18877816 >>18877529 Literally every single H scene in most Alicesoft games is copy pasted, one version for in game, one version for the gallery. Very little copy paste my fucking ass.

And I only say most because I haven't looked at any past the Escalayer remake. It's 100% in the ones I have looked at. Some scenes are copy pasted 4-5 times, and the scripts have included dummied out text that isn't accessible in any way whatsoever. Especially the earlier you go (Daiakuji and Daibanchou) have entire scenarios that aren't accessible in any way, but exist as text in the script.

I really liked the english translation of it. I read up to about 50% of it in japanese but it didn't feel authentic enough because sometimes I'd encounter a sentence I could only half understand like:

>何かを焦っていて本来の自分を見失っているような。

The 8.4mb file from Rance 10 has duplicate lines cut. It's the text extracted from the data file with all the excess code, nametags, and duplicate lines stripped. The only remaining content is the raw text of the script. About half a meg or something of it is content not used in the main game (cut scenes and the rough draft) but the vast bulk of it is actually used in scenes that all exist in the game. The game is just that big.
Source: The people on /haniho/ who ripped the script in the first place.

Another look at MangaGamers's Top 5 weekly chart:
Not many changes this week as Magical Marriage Lunatics is still 1st, Sideboob Story is still 2nd and it's now over 2 months in the Top 5 weekly chart (ever since pre-order on February 21st).
Fallen ~Makina and the City of Ruins on 3rd place and still on the chart ever since release, people really are starved for gameplay titles aren't they?
Newcomer to the chart is Desecration of Wings, looks like one of those titles that you make in RPG Maker.

Funny enough 3 out of 5 titles are 3rd party titles.

Third party titles selling well is a good thing for MG if they want to succeed as a marketplace in general. Whether or not third party titles are selling well can be more attributed to the third party titles themselves or to first party titles not releasing fast enough is arguable though.

It is Sekai. Their publishing strategy is to harass their customers and offer as bad service as possible.

I've been muted in their chat for like 2 years for stating games are better without removed content. Apparently I offended Dovac as he believes games are perfect as long as published by himself. No other things like QA needed, just Sekai Project stamp of trolling.

They are putting most of their staff on Neko-nin 2 to release it as soon as possible to cash in on the Nekopara fans, while neglecting pretty much everything else. Tenshin Ranman for example was announced 3+ years ago.

The question though is why it was delayed. If it hadn't gone through QC and was going to be another Leyline or Hoshimemo then a delay is probably for the best (although that is something they should have figured out before announcing a February release date). A second possibility that comes to mind is perhaps someone (Sekai, Sayori, or Smile) made some last minute changes about how they wanted to release it, perhaps changing to something like how Tropical Liquor was released (when Sekai was teasing a February release they were also treating it as a Denpa exclusive and not mentioning it with the main Sekai Twitter).

They have reason to push for the 30th, because they are also launching their first two LNs on the same day to mark their debut as a company.

I've read Koikuma and I can see that they most likely are having a technical nightmare cutting all the H-scenes from it and trying to make the steam all ages version work properly, they most likely are going to make a paid patch for it too.

It's a straight up nukige and there's a H-scene in the very first 10 minutes or so, just imagine something like MangaGamer putting Ultimate Boob Wars all ages edition on steam.

Funny how the all ages version delays the release for months and it has so much more work put into it than the 18+ version, yet it's always cheaper.

Don't bother. If you're reading it for the porn, then it's not that good. It's basically a plotge and it's heavily entrenched in Japanese folklore and mythos.

I have to assume you weren't being a complete douchebag as well. I know how bad Sekai is. I actually was hoping SP had improved after they announced Maitetsu last year (no, announcing a Steam version doesn't count) and I was thinking of actually buying it from them when it comes out. However, considering all the bullshit they are prioritizing over it, even if it does come out, I definitely won't be buying it anymore. Unless maybe if it turns out they've done a pristine job (which would sort of justify the waiting) but we all know the chances of that are basically zero.

Didn't really impress me. Sure, there's a high amount of CG, which means plenty of variants and different expressions - though it's pretty subtle most of the time - but what's there just didn't stack up to the best of my eroge faps. In terms of things like angling, positioning, the fetishes represented, the facial expressions, and the way that the artist drew bodies - nothing particularly clicked with me to an extraordinary deal. I still got off to a few scenes, but primarily because I liked the characters enough, which is more-or-less bog standard as far as most eroge go; pretty sure everyone has managed to squeeze one out to garbage artwork because they liked the characters enough.

I especially don't like how boring the artist's facial expressions were outside of a few scenes, pretty substandard and not very interesting. The way that Cura draws bodies is a bit too hard for my liking as well; all his angles have this sort've solid aesthetic about them and none of the girls looked particularly soft, the boobs and areola? Standard. The areola especially just don't look erotic enough for me, where's the volume?The boobs are typical circles with no real softness to their aesthetics most of the time. The asses are only saved in a few scenes by optimal angling, which even shit-tier artists can pull off. Another thing, too, is the lack of impactful visual communication in regards to the action being committed - there's a vagina and a dick going inside that vagina, but aside from that and the facial expressions, the action is pretty static; nothing like crease marks from grabbing onto their girl (and when there are, they are usually too subtle to matter), very little amount of shifting movement or things to represent shifting movement. Just very plain stuff, which is disappointing given how many CGs the scenes will use per scene, games with a much lesser budget do more than what Monobeno provides in that regard.

Just my opinion.

Ah, one more thing that really sealed the deal of mediocrity in regards to the H: the voice acting. There are loads of great voice actors in Monobeno, and some of them have been in a few of my favorite nukige, but many of them turn in fairly mediocre performances. The voice direction just feels plain and not really inspired - gave me a feeling of, "We're here to say our sex lines and go home." I figured maybe I was just not feeling it that day, but I later read Maitetsu and got more-or-less the same opinion. I don't know if the voice director was consistent through both titles, but it seems like Lose don't really care for extracting great performances in regards to the H, which is a real shame. It's serviceable, but these voice actors are capable of far better than what they turned in for both titles. My memory is a bit fuzzy, though, so perhaps it's a bit better than what I'm recalling.

Not particularly. Ahegao and rape are fine, but I love good vanilla as well.

As far as lolicon artwork goes, I'm more of a fan of something like santa's artwork in 通心ぼ, which is very soft and anatomically more pleasing to me than Cura's artwork - santa can actually draw a face in profile properly. He also does a lot more, with less, in my opinion.

Perhaps a better overall example, though (in a similar sort've hard-colored style) would be Shintaro's artwork in はるるみなもに! That's about as "dull moege" as it gets, but the artwork is, in my opinion, some of the most erotic vanilla artwork ever drawn for a moege. Everything has this clear weightiness and soft feeling to it - there's also a lot more impact going on visually, more interaction and stuff; the belly and thighs get played with, the vulva gets teased, the areola and nipples get harder as the girl gets more aroused, the hands actually sink decently into the flesh when they need to - there's even a clear physical difference in regards to when the dick goes into the vagina. Of course, はるるみなもに! is also less heavy on the censorship than Monobeno is, but still. It's that kind of attention to detail that Shintaro provides that Cura lacks.

It's possible that a VN as notable as Hapymaher, Damekoi, or Evenicle might have a release date announced during Anime Central, which would place the release date of one of those VNs a week or so before AX. Other than those 3, the VNs that are in the pipeline to release soon are 2 short nukige, the short bl VN Hashihime, and Higurashi Ch 6.

If the localization is finished and they continue to release 2 titles a month, Higurashi chapter 6 would be a good follow up to their mid month releases (as it would follow Supipara and the Fata Morgana fandisc), and is noticable enough to be a good choice to announce at their Anime Central panel.

The Steam release of Fureraba was delayed again because it is still in the Steam review process. That would be in line with others who have said they were getting increased scrutiny from Valve in recent months for VNs.

It's either industry slang for:

They use the same language for Melty Moment. It is a poor explanation, but regardless of the exact reason the result seems to be that they simply don't have access to proper uncensored CGs for either title seeing that they have them for the other three titles and realize it is an important enough issue to include it within the FAQ of all of their titles.

It was pretty funny when MG got Hapymaher (an older title from the same dev.) and the mosaic free assets for Chrono Clock magically appeared despite ''being lost''.

Sadly the only older Yuzusoft title is in SP hands and they don't even bother to ask for the mosaic free version since that would be additional work, so we most likely won't know for sure if they are lying that there isn't anything beneath.

Sol Press is based in the Western US, and are also establishing themselves as a LN publisher in addition to their VN publishing.

Cherry Kiss wasn't involved with the original release of Wild Romance. That was the Japanese developer who made their own attempt to get their Nekopara success on Steam. Cherry Kiss jumped in as a new company and snatch the license (along with apparently anything else from Norn they want to work on) only after the original developer didn't find the success they were looking for with a cut in half nukige on Steam.

There may end up being Nutaku like bullshit from being based in Canada and working with Nutaku ( >>/jp/thread/S18732356#p18770548 was posted here a few weeks ago) and it is easy to question the wisdom of releasing nukige on Steam with R18 patches, but they aren't the equivalent of SakuraGame by any measure.

It's funny at times, but also depressing since it touches on issues of self-loathing and alienation from society. The game also introduces several prostitute characters and brings up child prostitution.

The society in the game is more screwed up the more you find out about it. It's a sci-fi setting, but I think there's hints of the supernatural as well.

They've put out demos for sakura sakura and newton and the apple tree. Sakura sakura's demo was not super great, but they promised they would improve the quality for the official release. Newton's demo was pretty good, and had uncensored art, unlike sakura sakura. Both titles have an honorifics toggle, which is I think a first for a translated VN.

A yotsunoha demo has been promised shortly, so we'll have a better idea how that will look.

Chuusotsu is a very odd VN. It's technically all ages, but could've easily been made 18+ with all the stuff that happens in the VN. None of the lewd events have CGs.

- Flirty lesbians, where the Onee-sama buys the kouhai a butt plug tail.

- Background cast includes prostitutes.

- Not actual child prostitute runs a dildo over the MC's panties, then acts like she's going to rape her with said dildo.

Frontwing really is Sekai Project 2.0, kickstart everything possible and delay it for years.

As someone who just buys the digital DRM free version only once it's released I really can't understand people who back one kickstarter after another despite almost all of them being delayed for years.
Even if you take away the delays you're still left with a questionable translation quality, mosaics and by the time you get your physical edition, the visual novel is already 50-60% discounted on steam or worse bundled like Root Double.

Probably the most blatant pricing issue with KS was when Sekai released Hoshimemo on release week for 10% cheaper than its backing amount for the base game. That was an extra dumbass move. I expected more out of them, even as little as I expect from them.

Sekai getting Muv Luv is reason enough to never back a huge VN kickstarter ever again at least for me. Though, at least Muv Luv didn't quite turn out like the disaster that was Dies Irae. Not even the Tsukihime remake could make me back a kickstarter unless it was MG or maybe JAST if I didn't mind waiting an extra decade.

The Steam release of Momoiro Closet was delayed.

Moenovel went with price in between Cross Channel and A Sky Full of Stars for Umikana for a retail price of $12.99. They also seem to be trying to tie it in with IMMHW and A Sky Full of Stars, advertising it as part of a "Coming-of-Age Collection" and making a Steam bundle under that name including the three titles.

The title has thus far peaked at 15 concurrent users, compared to A Sky Full of Star's all time peak of 73 concurrent users and Cross Channel's peak of 13 concurrent users. The same achievement method that applied to Cross Channel looks to be working here as well thanks to a number of achievements and currently limited sales. Thus far using the achievement method and finding the exact value that works for the full set of data (see https://pastebin.com/JNADirmn ) suggests that it had (times Eastern) 54 owners at 3:30AM, 73 owners at 10:00AM, and 87 owners at 2:00pm. That said, these numbers would not give the full picture if there is some set of sales which do not show up in the Global Steam achievements, however in light of no large change to Cross Channel after the privacy switch, it does seem to include private accounts within its data.

Just as an aside, Cross Channel currently works out to be 338 owners using the same method.

Maho is great, but is, unfortunately, one of the few good parts about Zero.

The only rumor that has been confirmed was from an anon a few months back saying MG licensed Luckydog1. The survey includes the hint 'lucky' and the translator has gone quiet, she used to post an update every few months. She also started following MG staff on twitter a few months back.

To be fair,

That one is correct and makes sense in context, people just love to cut it off at mid-sentence to make it sound dumber.

>Just because you're correct doesn't mean that you're right!
From the anime, also another context thing. But, I don't think it was from the VN.

>I am the bone of my sword
That's just crappy Nasu Engrish, wasn't even a translation.

The FSN translation is trash, like screwing up references to the Rhinegold, but those are just memes.

Honestly, F/SN doesn't need a full retranslation. For the most part, the fanTL isn't that much more inaccurate than most; the sentence composition and overall prose quality just blow. If a competent editor could get their hands on it, it could go a long way towards actually being readable.

People die when they are killed makes more sense in context, but it still technically incorrect. Literally, it should be "People die when a lethal amount of force is applied to them," but that's not exactly as direct and to the point. Personally, I'd do:

>Most people are able to die.
though
>People should die when they are killed.
is probably the best way to properly express what's being conveyed, even if it also sounds kind of goofy out of context.

I remember that Coalgirls got shat on by some people for changing that line to something like "One shouldn't be able to survive that much damage".

I have to agree with you. I don't like generalizing, but a huge chunk of the Fate fanbase that speaks out in public is more offputting towards the franchise than anything else.

No one specified anything beyond "plotge, horror, mystery" and "anything other than moege". It's clear that non-moege visual novels can sell like hotcakes. But either way, there are others without anime adaptations like Sengoku Rance and Saya no Uta that probably sold a lot too. Chaos;Child's adaptation was garbage and it's been shown before that Steins;Gate's popularity doesn't quite carry the other titles sales-wise in the west, yet it sold quite well and it would sell way more if it got ported to Steam already.

What's the harm is people making patches based on their preferences? If anything it's a huge step up from people who bitch about things and then do nothing, hoping someone else will do all the work.

What do they want people to do? Complain and then do nothing? Is that the better alternative? Taking action for what you believe in is always better in my mind.

Fata Morgana is still selling and if I remember correctly did sell around 8k so far. I would consider anything that sells beyond 6k for smaller VN's a success due to it not being popular or having an anime Adaptation.

Indeed that is an actual change. Luci is a variant form, so I don't think it's the same as changing it to Beverly; but Luce is in use in English as a given name and surname so I'm not sure why it would be changed. It's uncommon though so maybe they thought people wouldn't know how to pronounce it or something.
