Is this the metathread now? Okay.

Honestly, I think "generals" are a flawed concept. It's turning imageboards into subreddits, building constant circlejerking communities. If you have something you want to discuss related to a certain topic, make a thread about it. If there are too many threads about a certain topic, split it off into a new board. There, problem solved. That way we'd have less shitposting, since only people legitimately interested in a certain VN-related topic would even bother to open the thread. It would also increase the abysmal signal-to-noise ratio immensely, encouraging well-written, thought-upon posts, instead of general-style ADHD inferno. Alas, that likely won't happen, because mods are afraid that making new boards (and thus threads) is going to overload the moderation team. That's not the case at all because these extra boards and threads would be smaller and slower, and thus actually easier to moderate than a huge, monolithic general.

People have been fine with generals for years, I don't know why you're still trying to change the will of the majority. If you don't like the thread, hide it and go away. The best part is that since it's a general you won't see any more threads about the subject. Literally how is this any more than the most minor of inconveniences to you? Or do you just like bitching that much?

The project isn't complete (Doddler wasn't clear if he meant only completed projects or not). And the fantranslators plan to offer their translation to MG. It was also 1 of the top 10 most requested titles on their survey. Maybe Princess Evangile's sales made them consider giving the title a shot.

You know, you're not going to "drive people away" by making a few stupid posts in a thread that most people are simply using for normal discussion. You have no power here. Only the mods do.

Six months ago, Takamura Hitoshi watched Famille, the cafe his deceased brother established, go up in smoke. The employees and the memories they shared might have survived, but without a building there can be no cafe; Hitoshi and co. are left with no choice but to abandon Famille.

But as luck - or perhaps fate - would have it, Hitoshi gets a second chance when he receives a phone call from a new mall asking him to open a branch of Famille inside their building. Hitoshi can't refuse the offer to carry on his brother's will, and after a few twists and turns a new Famille is born with Hitoshi as the manager.

Of course, life never quite goes that smoothly. Things are a mess both in the kitchen and on the floor because two key staff members refused to return. Hitoshi himself had to take a break from college in order to make opening the new cafe a reality. But perhaps the biggest problem of all is staring Famille right in the face - Curio, the popular cafe that Famille was "inspired" by in the first place, happened to open a branch in the same shopping center directly across from Famille...

And thus the new Famille's battle for survival begins.

It just can't be helped.

There are people (I can't say EOP in general because nukige has a dedicated fanbase in the West who buy the games) who prefer the games being sex-free because they dislike sex or fetish sex.

The entire game (writing, visual, music) being entirely based around sex or fetish sex would be antithesis to them.

Are you serious with this? I have no real problem with nukige, and in fact am highly looking forward to BBH, but it seriously disturbs me that someone could consider an entire story worthless simply because it doesn't have any sex scenes. Your post reads like you're condemning people who aren't open minded and displaying a horribly closed mind in the same breath.

I really don't see why everything has to be about sex, or why people are so obsessed with sex in both real life and fiction. Plenty of good stories can be told without the use of sex, and that's fine.

Well, I'll take a different tack here.

I consider romance stories to be worthless if they do not contain sex or implied sex.

Part of what separates VN romances from anime "romances" is that there is consummation on the relationships. Sex is an irrevocable act that forces relationship progress and answers questions.

In harem shows, you have billions of almost kisses, or kisses that are later said to be a joke, etc-- so there's never any progress. But it's really hard to treat sex the same way.

I don't think a good love story can be told without sex. It just leaves things very vague.

You do make a good point, though I would say it is mainly only relevant if the story actually does aim to be a romance story. I certainly don't think sex should be removed entirely if there's a good reason to have it, myself. What bothers me is if the sex is still implied but people still dismiss the story just because there wasn't an actual scene for it. Sure, some people like seeing sex scenes, but they don't NEED to see them to know what happened. Especially if, rather than having the scene cut, the game was written without such scenes in the first place but still addresses the matter.

I'm not sure why but the idea of comparing sex to a battle cracks me up. It kind of is one, though, so it does make sense.

I think the important thing to take from all of this is that VNs have something for everyone and it's wrong to say that certain things are better or worse to have, because it really just depends on the preferences of the person reading them.

No, I come by every Sunday for the thread, just don't want to see it turn into a copy of the /vg/ general. It doesn't need to be up all the damn time, nothing's happening until Otakon anyway. If there wasn't one up, in fact, maybe people would even go to the trouble of starting a VN-related thread with a topic that isn't "shitpost about MG and SP until Saturday."

Dude, if you're only here for the thread on Sunday, what does it matter if people have a thread going on any other day of the week?

Also, so many of the 60 fucking Touhou threads are such shit. It's ridiculous that THIS is the thread you pick on when those are around. Go complain about the guy who keeps talking about rubbing butts and farting first. This hardly even qualifies as an issue in comparison. I mean, which would you rather have between 1 bad thread and, being generous, 30 bad threads?

Eroge is serious business and deserves good threads made by people with something to talk about. Or at least populated by people with something to talk about. And when the damn thing's up all the time I'm going to end up reading through the whole shitpost mountain anyway because of my autism, so it'd really be much healthier to exercise restraint in this case. Generals are shitty in an entirely different way from your average 2hu funposting.

I swing my fist at my enemy.
It moves quicky in a horizontal motion towards his face.
"Uuooooohh!"
I shout as my clenched hand nears his cheekbone.
I'm striking my enemy, a display of my utmost hatred towards him.
"Ooooohh!"
A dull smack resounds as my punch strikes his cheek.
"Augh, uuuuh!"
My enemy's face twists in anguish as his body recoils in pain.
I've dealt my enemy a severe blow.
A firm declaration of the enmity I feel towards him.
"Uuugh, urh..."
Now that my strike has made contact with him, we have finally proven our connection as adversaries.
"I have hit you! This displays our difference in strength!"
I taunt my enemy as I inflict suffering upon him.
"Ugh...!"
But my enemy is too overcome with agony to give a proper response.
I'll go further, now that my enemy is distracted enough.
I thrust my other hand upwards at a slight angle.
"Uuuooooooh!"
My uppercut heads straight towards his chin.
"Haaaaaa!!"
The attack catches my enemy off-guard, and he notices it too late.
"Guh!"
"Huuuoooooooo!!"
My limbs approaches his jawbone mercilessly.
"Gaaaaaah!!"
My enemy lets out a cry of anguish as he is hit with the full force of the impact.

If they were going to write fight scenes like this, I'd rather have them happen off-screen. I don't mind H-scenes in principle, but the execution is almost always utterly horrible. If it doesn't fit the style of the story, don't bother including it. That's how I feel about most H-scenes.

(Also, every battle ends in a simultaneous KO.)

What is that, one of Ixrec's fanfics or something? Nothing's coming up on Google. While we're on the subject of fanfiction though, I like this one:

"Emiya!!" Seiji went hysterical. "You think I'll let you win at all? I'll kill you for aniue's sake!!" He held his spell book upfront. The shadows appeared out of the book again, this time surrounding Seiji's body.

"Aarrggghhh!!" Seiji held his hands high. "This is it! Emiya, you will be dead!" Most of the dark entity went to his fists and he seemed to have gone mad. "I have all the power right now!" He dropped his spell book and charged at Shirou.

"Aaaaaarrghgghgh!!" Seiji aimed a punch at Shirou as he charged on. His fist scattered some of the shadows around him, but it seemed to be devouring him as well, turning him into a shadow fighter instead.

"This is the end." Shirou smiled, and dashed towards him with his sword in front of him

"Aarrrggghhhh!! Seiji unleashed his shadow fist at him.

"Uuurrgghhh!!" Shirou aimed his sword at him down the path.

"AArrrrggghhh!!"

"Urrgghhh!!"

Ah. I thought that might be the case when nothing showed up. You did a pretty good job of conveying that then, considering you presumably just wrote it on the spot.

And in a post not cluttered by argh, let me just say that I agree completely. I have seen VERY few actually well written h-scenes. There are some good ones out there, to be sure, but I don't often feel rewarded by them. Just annoyed that I have to slog through this before getting back to the actual good plot, since they apparently put it in out of some sort of obligation rather than because they wanted to write a good h-scene. That said, I don't skip through them and do read them attentively in the hopes that I might find one of the rare good ones. It's important to have the experience to back up my opinion.

1000 touhou threads is quite different from simply keeping a circlejerk alive with no actual topic for discussion due to its timing in the week. This isn't a case of having too many VN threads, it's a case of trying to consolidate it all into one pointless thread 24/7. When the weekly VNTS thread dies, rather than springing up immediately to create a continuation of what was likely a heated shitpost fest, create a thread with a more specific topic if you need to talk about eroge that badly. As you may have noticed, there actually are other threads about VN localization up. /jp/ doesn't just magically wash itself of all relation to VNs when the VNTS thread dies, anon, don't worry.

I wonder if any of Sekai Project's games will ever get bundled. I wouldn't mind owning them, but I wouldn't want to pay Sekai Project for it.

MG's already had handful of their cheaper Steam games bundled so I guess it's really a question of how bundles are decided. I dunno how much control they have over this. I could see a bundle with stuff like Sakura Spirit, Nekopara and even Planetarian doing pretty well though.

I wouldn't have an issue if there were 100000 VN threads. The issue here is that this thread completely kills diversity and tries to discuss everything. It was clearly devised by some /vg/ reject who just refuses to accept that his opinion on generals isn't shared by most of the VN community here in /jp/ (and yes, I do realize that the /vg/ thread was mostly seeded by /jp/ rejects back when that board was created. That doesn't make this "/vg/ on /jp/!" thread any more acceptable).

That's probably why there's been no word. There's not enough interest so Sekai Project doesn't feel the need to bother with their 18+ branch. Anyway, I'd honestly rather SP slowed it down and had actual good translations instead of the excrement they spew onto the Steam store.

The value is increasing funding to the Kickstarter by strongly implying that they're going to release them. Only after they have the money months later can they then turn around and say "We technically never 100% said we were going to release them, so fuck off. You're not our market, leeches."

They still seem to have an interest in localizing games for which the 18+ version is the original, it's just a question of whether or not said version will actually be available from them. Which honestly is pretty unfortunate, access to the original 18+ version shouldn't even be a question unless it's some outlier like Himawari.

From the number of reviews, I think it's pretty lukewarm and some people in the community refuse to buy the censored version.

But Dovac is smart because KS already covers all the cost (and it's already a bonus to boot since the game is already translated before KS comes). What a shrewd scammer.

They remain rare in works targeted towards a general audience or a male audience.

VNs basically are the "male romance" genre. And it's superior to the "female romance" genre in nearly every way in my opinion, because good ones manage to tell a great story while also developing worthwhile relationships.

Female romance tends to just have a flimsy story as an excuse.
Male romance (when bad) tends to have sex as an excuse (mana transfer, etc).

I think the second case is a much better one.

Because there's huge "anything is good as long as it barely resembles English" crowd. Ixrec released his fanfics very fast, and thats all they need.
They also loved Insem before he trolled the fuck out of them, and they love TakaJun, and they enjoy fuwanovellizations, so you can see pattern.

No, that's sort of unfair.

Moogy is part of the "japanese is untranslatable" crowd, that believes almost all meaning is lost in any translation.

He challenged Ixrec's translation of a few lines from cross channel once, so I asked for his translation and he gave it.

The result was basically that both were pretty valid translations. I felt they each had their good points.

But I think the random ixrec hating is obnoxious. As is the moogy worshipping.

And no one ever liked Insem. His translations were always mediocre.

I can't believe it's been three whole years since JAST announced Trample on Schatten. What the fuck. I remember thinking "This looks kind of awesome, I might play it when it's out." I did not realize it would never actually come out. Now I don't really care about it anymore, which is a shame.

Sekai Project Industry Panel [I]
Join Sekai Project as we announce our latest titles, explore the world of visual novels, and stick around for some Otakon Exclusive Giveaways.

The answer. "Explore the world of visual novels" pisses me off for some inexplicable reason.

MLA was nothing new or innovative, but it had a solid formula and it ran with it. A cliche premise with an incredible execution is still an incredible work. It probably won't make you rethink life or whatever, but it doesn't need to be deep in order to be fun.

I can only speak for myself, but there are two main reasons why I think MLA is great and the sequels less so (though I did enjoy them myself):

1) Nothing really happens in the sequels. Takeru's story, on the other hand, is an epic both in length and scale (in fact, you could easily analyze it using the Monomyth). Think something like Star Wars or Evangelion. This helps entrance the reader and invest him into the story (the fate of humanity is at risk, etc).

2) The characters are great. The one thing VNs are incredibly good at is investing you into the characters, and MLA has plenty of charismatic people to go around. The MC is also great. His struggle is very human, and most people will identify with his angst all too well. Following those characters will keep you entertained and enjoying yourself even when you otherwise wouldn't appreciate the plot. This is something the sequels kind of try to do, but they're so short in length that they can't really succeed.

So yeah, entertaining plot and mesmerizing cast. It sounds simple but that's not so easy to combine.
