I don't think his understanding of Japanese is an issue. It's more that like many translators he translates the Japanese it is, instead of actually trying to convert it into decent English.

Rance IX is a better source material than Index so it shouldn't be as jarring.

More translations for the rest of their games, for one thing. If they arranged a deal of some sort for new titles it definitely could result in much faster releases than what we're getting currently - with the right deal we're talking same day releases here. It would also have the benefit of bringing their games to a wider audience, which is undoubtedly a good thing. The only people I see denying this are /jp/ hipsters who wouldn't buy the games, people who don't deserve any right to decide such a thing anyway. Don't forget how far-reaching the consequences could be, either. The success of the Alicesoft games will just lead to more and more good things for the medium. Just think, with all these games doing well, eventually someone will lay their eyes on Monobeno.

Those are not two mutually exclusive things. It introduces a shitload of grammatical problems, run on sentences, sentence fragments, and other mistakes, therefore it both reads like shit and is inaccurate, because in Japan, it was not full of errors.

If it's not word for word substitution, maintaining Japanese punctuation and sentence structure, it's a rewrite and you might as well be making things up. It's not a real translation unless it doesn't look like English.

I created the current Gust thread and even I didn't know it's a VN; I figured it was a story-heavy RPG like Ar Tonelico.

That said, 'nobody cares' comes quite close. It's the second half of a story that's apparently only comprehensible if you've read the first half, and the first half was never released in English. Furthermore, the release itself seems very much botched as well. Only hardcore Gust fans are interested in something like that.


And to futilely combat the usual misinformation...

At this point, Sekai Project has not yet released any game that was originally an eroge. Grisaia will be the first one. You are likely referring to Konosora aka 'If My Heart Had Wings' by Moenovel/Pulltop, of which only an all-ages version was released in English (by the original developer).

Though, to be fair, he's answered later questions about blatant loli content to the extent of "I'll consider risking the possible life-ruining lawsuits if lolicons make themselves heard and put their money where their mouths are."

Given imopara's supposed good sales, I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it's obvious that there's a lot of reservations about going that far.

That's the one. So much of mangogamer shit sells under 1k and only breaks even that if imopara suddenly sells 3000 copies, it's not hard to imagine mangagamer slowly edging towards more and more blatant content. Hell, that's pretty much what's happening already. In 2009 there were scared to show satoko in one scene. In 2012 they whipped out koihime rinrin riding your dick. Now in 2014 we've got full on red backpack "onii-chan what's that strange thing between your legs?" imopara. I wouldn't be surprised if mangagamer put out an all loli heroine game in the next few years so long as nothing in the story conflicts with their "They're all 18, we swear!" boilerplate.

Monobeno in particular I don't think will happen though. By time mangagamer is ready to risk for going that far, it'll be too old for consideration.

>>12540965

This scenario has several factors behind it.
A: loli content has to continue to sell well for mangagamer to
B: continue to push the envelope in the loli content they're willing to publish and
C: survive long enough and not get sued into oblivion along the way

While

D: a fantranslation starts up right around when mangagamer is ready to throw caution to wind and
E: whoever's translating it is willing to work with mangagamer and
F: mangagamer can negotiate the rights and
G: given the tumultuous state of the japanese eroge industry, the company itself didn't go under and still exists

Of the two, I'd say a lottery win has a better likelihood.

Please source. I never saw any announcement from MangaGamer saying they would remove some Rinrin scenes from Koihime Musou. Also, I don't remember any backlash from the community about this.

MangaGamer over the time (specifically since their monthly SH releases to make some money) has been improving their releases in both fronts (story and nukige). The success of higher quality nukige (ImoPara, Eroge, Ultimate Boob Wars) has proved that there is a great interest in actually more developed titles. Not necessarily loli focused titles. Of course, this will help the company to continue licensing more high-quality nukige so this is something I'm glad about.

The US law regarding loli content may change in a few years so who knows if MangaGamer will indeed be able to license titles such as Monobeno. Anyway, as the law currently stands, I hardly see the company venturing into VNs with themes related to stuff that happens on adolescence. From what I read on his ask.fm, Kouryuu seems to have a sense good enough to not get himself in jail.

Sure, that's why they're translating Princess Evangile instead of the early Moonstone games that are actually good.

There are a lot of factors that go into choosing which games to localize I'm sure, and age is certainly one of them. They don't just pick the best games, obviously. Most of their catalog is mediocre or outright shitty.

The real question is, can MG pretend it's not blatant loli? They've done games where there are quite loli characters (Imopara, Boob Wars 1 & 2, Eroge, Koihime), but at least they can on the surface pretend that it's not a loli game by just publicly ignoring that those parts don't exist. I'm not sure that's possible with Monobeno...

I'm not the guy saying it's impossible, but I really doubt mangagamer is going to be willing to go full pedo in the next three years.

What's more likely is that, if sales permit, mangagamer might release something like one galette's titles where nearly all the heroines look very young, but the story itself isn't too blatant about it, as a way of pushing the envelope a bit further. Slowly dipping more and more of their foot into the water.

Gift is the only one, and that's the game that marked Moonstone's transformation into a mediocre moege brand. Ashita Deatta Shoujo and Doko e Iku no, Ano Hi are the only worthwhile Moonstone games.

>On top of that, the games MG did choose are already three years old.
You don't seem to realize that they announced Princess Evangile over a year ago, and of course they started talks with Moonstone even before that. When they started the process it was Moonstone's most recent game. MG is just slow as shit.

I don't see them going for Monobeno at all. It's not something that would sell well enough to warrant the risk you seem to think they want to take. There are many more games with a single youthful character that would be far better options for sales then going for a title that's synopsis is your sister having her first period. While they might be able to get away with it.

I just don't see them going out of their way for a title that's barely requested and not famous over in the west that could destroy their image completely. Their job is to make money, not push an agenda.

MG has been playing up, and outright exaggerating, the extreme content in euphoria since they announced it. And it actually IS good marketing. There's a market for dark eroge that is almost completely untapped, and that group isn't shy of spending money to get their niche fetishes fulfilled (anyone remember Dark Translations?). In addition they're going to lure in people who are simply intrigued by "the most extreme visual novel ever translated" (almost a verbatim quote from Kouryuu) and want to play it simply for novelty's sake, which can be a very strong selling point.

It'll turn away some people but that's the case with basically any product. Some games can appeal to a broader market but if you're marketing to a niche you gotta pander the hell out of it. Those people on twitter weren't going to buy euphoria in the first place unless they do zero research on the shit they buy, like not even reading product descriptions. And note that the second response is saying they WILL buy the game because of the excerpt posted, illustrating my points in this post that's getting way too fucking long for some reason.

Fraternite has plot-related loli content that puts it off the table to begin with.

I suppose that it's worth mentioning how long Evangile is (more than 3MB of text). See http://ask.fm/MangaGamerStaff/answer/115963835378

The translation should have taken more than a year to complete. Naturally, MangaGamer can't keep asking for more titles from Moonstone when they still didn't release another title from them that they're working on.

Speaking about Moonstone made me remind of Magical Marriage Lunatics. The group that was translating this title doesn't update for about 2 months. If this keeps up I can just think of two possibilities:
- The group started to work with MangaGamer
- The project was abandoned

On the topic of fan-translations going official, MangaGamer on their ask.fm said that they've already turned down some groups because their translation wasn't up to standard. See http://ask.fm/MangaGamerStaff/answer/118247279858

The question really isn't what happens to Grisaia no Kajitsu (although people care about this because of the sequels Sekai Project wants to do), but rather will Sekai Project be all ages only and become a company well known for censorship or follow the dual 18+/all ages release model that MangaGamer is working on.

It's likely they will be picking up more titles with 18+ versions down the road. For example, they quite likely have Nekopara (the official company said that they were doing Chinese/English releases, and Dovac has retweeted stuff from the NekoPara twitter account). So with that in mind, will Sekai Project release that 18+, or will they only release a censored version they make themselves.

Dovac has brought up Nekopara multiple times, so either he has a large personal interest in it, or Sekai Project has some involvement with bringing it over.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12546021
To be honest, I much rather have Nekopara being localized by MangaGamer but anon >>12545989 is probably right. There's absolutely no evidence that MangaGamer is involved with Nekopara.

Then again, there's also the possibility that we're just being fooled into thinking that Sekai Project is the one being involved in such localization. However, as an anon pointed out in a previous thread, there's a big problem. This problem is how Sekai Project will sell the game and have a digital platform for people to download it. Due to Previous Dovac comments, MangaGamer relationship with Sekai Project may not be the best so I'm unsure about selling Nekopara on MangaGamer store. There's also the problem of credit card payments.

It's true that they may decide going only into hard-copies but that would only demonstrate how Sekai Project is jumping the gun yet again (the plain incompetence they previously demonstrated regarding information disclosure about Grisaia localization project seems to not be enough).

[Anonymous No.]

>>12546116
With Sunrider (one of Sekai's OELVNs), they plan to sell a censored version on Steam, and distribute an uncut patch for that version off of steam. That said, it sounds like that is general nudity rather than the H-content in eroge, so Steam very well might be less fine about a patch for the Steam release which makes it 18+ because of H-content (MangaGamer has 2 separate versions).

[Anonymous No.]

>>12545998
Isn't that version of Suika more of a Circus project then a Moonstone one? I mean, it was Circus that got them the project, not ties to Moonstone and Circus is credited for the game...

And as for it being 8 years later... It's not like Shuffle or Da Capo were any more recent when they came out. That doesn't mean they want old titles, but they had them and the names were famous enough to make sales.

They're working with JAST on Shiny Days so it wouldn't be crazy for them to sell nekopara through jlist. Also if both dovac and koryuu like money, which I'm pretty sure they do, they'd be stupid to not sell it through the MG store, regardless of their current relationship.

This is setting aside that it doesn't even make sense to consider Suika (even A.S+) a Moonstone game in the first place. It's a Circus game. It was made by Circus, and some of the staff who worked on it later left Circus to found Moonstone, and later helped with releasing an updated version of the game. Suika (and A.S+) is on Circus's website (http://circus-co.jp/product/suika_as/index.html)), it isn't listed on Moonstone's page for their works (http://www.moon-stone.jp/p-seihin note again "No.#0001 あした出逢った少女").

It isn't unheard of for eroge companies to help each other out. You sometimes see a company listed in the credits for another company's game, but that doesn't make it their game.

I'm going full autist right now but Suika just isn't a Moonstone game. At best it could be considered a spiritual predecessor like ONE is for Key (well, maybe if Moonstone had kept making darkish scenarioge and didn't abandon them after doing just a couple).

The price or the actual VN is not relevant here, the only relevant point is Sekai Project is distributing an uncensor patch of chapter 2 outside of Steam for the version on Steam, and Steam was good with that distribution method working with the Steam client.


However, if that is only general nudity which Steam is good with in this case, it doesn't say anything about Grisaia or other eroge (other than they could probably patch in the general nudity outside of H-scenes in something like Grisaia).

In short, we know Steam is at least good with dual releases (MangaGamer), and we know they are good with some uncensoring for a Steam release with an off Steam patch (Sunrider).

[Anonymous No.]

But would they be willing as they are now? MG now and the way they were when they were founded might as well be considered different groups.
They have sales numbers that tell them bad looking or older games don't sell as well, back then they didn't. That and Circus was one of their founders, if they gave MG a game offer they were going to take it regardless of the quality of the game. Nowadays they can be a bit pickier and with GGJ's success they can actually start bringing some good numbers to negotiations. So the question becomes would the market for this lesser known game be worth it(or the good will from bringing it over) or would this shiny HD/newer game that has/is getting an anime a better deal?

I just don't see them purposely going for older titles that are not offered to them for cheap like the two nukige brands they got in the last two years. Or forced on them like the Lilith titles were before they could get to the requested/better known stuff. It just doesn't make sense to me why they would.

And the best way to do that is to sabotage the only Western release planned, because certainly MangaGamer, JAST and MoeNovel will all release it in Sekai's stead, right? JAST releasing anything at all is out of the question, MoeNovel definitely wont' release it, so you'd be placing a huge gamble on MangaGamer. It's nice and all that you really like to hate on Sekai (good job, you fit in, you can stop trying now), but if you really want to help the creator your choice of action definitely won't be helping. Just state outright that you want to fuck with Sekai Project if that's your actual goal.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12551790
>so you'd be placing a huge gamble on MangaGamer
dovac, is that you? If MG is "huge gamble" by your measure, then Sekai is "definite suicide".
Sekai doesn't have any qualified translators, it doesn't have any infrastructure for 18+ releases, it doesn't have any established market presence for 18+ games. Chances of them doing nekopara justice are zero.
So yes, I'd rather prefer sayori to "gamble" than do "sure suicide".

[Anonymous No.]

>>12551807
Oh, forgot to add, Sekai also doesn't even have funds to translate it. So either they are going to extort sayori into investing her own money or to run yet another kickstarter, except you cannot kickstart 18+ stuff, so he will use it as reason to not release 18+ version.

[Anonymous No.]

Dovac please.
A japanese company being interested in releasing their titles in the west isn't a bad thing and I as well as other members of the community would never condone them for such an action. However, if the localization company and members involved in such localization don't prove themselves to be actually somewhat competent, inevitably there will be people not satisfied with how things are being handled. On top of this, the attitude of the members of said company may have negative or positive effect on how the public perceives the company image. The case of Sekai Project is obvious.

With this said, I reiterate what has been already said multiple times. Be more professional, competent handling your projects and chill out that attitude of yours. If you can't do this for yourself, at least do it for Sekai Project and the VNs you're trying to localize. Over the time you might be better regarded among the community.

2: Even if it directly involves you. If it's really that important, you can comment on it on a company-wide level.
3: Did someone say something that pissed you off? Don't vent in public.
4: If you have information you can't disclose, don't actually disclose this fact. If you absolutely must for some reason, apologize and say that you can't answer it at this time. Anything else just makes you look like a prick that's full of themself.
5: If you have something to say regarding goings-on in your company that you wouldn't feel comfortable saying on the company twitter itself, don't say it.
6: Be aware that you're speaking to a global audience.
7: Don't sling mud at your competition. That's for marketing.

*not really applicable to dovac
8: Don't comment on politics
9: Try not to comment on Social issues, obviously you can't always get away with ignoring them.
10: In general try not to alienate any potential customer.

/jp/'s probably going to hate you for a long time. It takes awhile to earn back(or even build) a reputation. For example, mangagamer was considered a joke for nearly four years before /jp/ finally warmed up to them. But following all of those is just good sense.

If you want it boiled down further, the literal definition of professionalism

It's likely a dirt cheap liscenses that can sell on the voice actresses alone by a group already involved in kickstarters, and he is offering no physical rewards based on the prefundia page so there is limited finical liability. From a business standpoint, it's a very good pick up and doesn't seem desperate at all.


That said, the use of kickstarter could come and bite him in the ass considering he has at least Clannad and Grisaia planned. Kickstarter discourages multiple kickstarter projects at once (as defined by have they fully shipped out rewards), and at some point it's conceivable Kickstarter would put a halt to project after project, especially as estimated release dates on his other projects start to pass.

Another announcement 2 weeks from now according to Dovac, wouldn't be surprised if that is Nekopara. With Dovac new answer on questions about Grisaia censorship being meant with wait until end of October or beginning of November, and them likely having Nekopara announcement at some point, we will probably learn somewhat soon if Dovac plans to take Sekai Project down the Moenovel path, or if he plans to set up some system of dual releases.

If Steam allows it for H-content, then the Sunrider solution of distributing a restoration patch outside of Steam would work, otherwise he would probably end up having JList and/or MG sell a separate version.

Could just rotate with indiegogo or something if he doesn't mind looking extra skeevy.

Steam all ages digital/j-list hardcopy seems the most likely solution to me, assuming he goes that route.

He just answered 2 more question on Grisaia saying wait for end of October/early November, and also said Sekai Project will be throwing out big portions of the existing Clannad fanTL.

I don't think dovac becoming more professional is going to make /jp/ stop hating him. After all, he's trying to bring VNs to a wider audience, specifically the entry-level anime fans on Steam. It's gonna bring more obnoxious newbies into the VN community, and most of you don't want that.

Myself, I feel that, since there's already those obnoxious newbies that boycott the few companies actually trying to bring us new VNs, adding more obnoxious newbies isn't really going to hurt the community much. It can't get much worse than it is now.

No, he's trying to get rich by scamming people and japanese devs.

Hey dovac, since you can't get enough of these threads; If you can get the seiyuu to agree to autographs, why not offer a stupid expensive tier for getting a custom recorded message? I imagine someone's probably lonely enough to pony up to get a custom lewd message from saaya or an engrish voicemail message.

Remember that time he charged for a free VN? That was pretty funny.

What defines a 'scam'? If I pay him and he delivers the goods or services I pay for, and if he cooperates with developers and pays the royalties/whatever they specified, how is it a scam?

But, but, it included a DIGITAL DAKIMAKURA! How can you say no to THAT?

At least a portion of /jp/ will continue to hate him for that reason even if he started to do a much better job with what he says and did meaningful translations. However that in itself doesn't matter much since it's only the small group here on /jp/ and Dovac already accepted that reality.

If he goes through with no uncut releases on a well known title though, that would have a much farther reaching impact simply because of the strong anti-censorship views that you can find in most communities that would be interested in the titles Sekai Project would bring over.

I did try to bait something out them about it a couple times on their official ask.fm and kouryuus, but haven't had any luck so far. The only reply I've managed to get was one from doddler saying that it's kind sad.
