Looking at MG's lineup, there's quite a few titles that I actually want to buy on the way.

Looking at JAST I am filled with hate and scorn and just want Sumaga and Seinarakuna. After that I expect nothing to actually get released for 5 years. I don't even know if I expect Sumaga in those 5 years.

Looking at Sekai Project, it's re-releases and promises that are unlikely to be kept. I am glad that some of these people are making some money. Others not so much. But the properties Sekai is bringing to market anger me.

Looking at the unofficial translations, after SubaHibi... there's just so many shit projects. I just wonder, why the fuck were these titles chosen over other things that are actually either desirable or good. There are so many mediocre titles. Unofficial translations do not even have to pay for the IP, licensing, fucking anything. And this is the shit that gets picked?

Then of the titles that are good, there are very few that look like they will receive a real translation rather than a machine translation.

Compared to years ago, things are pretty bad. And since JAST doesn't actually deliver projects, that puts the scene in a pretty bad place other than MG.

What toes are there to step on? Until MG gets the license for TRi, which will be a long way away if ever, I don't see what's stopping them from translating it. Though given the trouble they ran into with real life schedules towards the end of RGD I'm not confident they actually will pick this up.

I'm not surprised but I'm sure this makes all the people who were freaking out about "OH GOD NUKIGE IS DYING" very happy.

I just hope things like Cartagra sell well enough for MangaGamer to be able to justify doing them. Because I find them really interesting. MG still seems like one of the cool companies that localizes stuff because they really want to, and not SOLELY to make money.

Ryukishi gave explicit permission to witch hunt to translate his games.
Also, MG didn't do anything regarding Umineko fan-translation project so there's no reason to think they'd stop the fan-translation. If anything, they'd likely try to license it and release it.

Besides, witch hunt must revise Umineko translation because of the official release so I'm not so sure they'd work on Trianthology right away.

It's hard to tell because huniepop was released so close to it, but january was mangagamer's most successful month with somewhere in the realm of 3700 orders placed. If I recall, at the end of january, the minori fundraiser stood at about 65k aswell, and if you assume that 50k of that was eden, that comes out to about 2000 edens sold on mangagamer. Not to mention that the eden bundles weren't mangagamer keys but steam keys.

Huniepop's sat on the charts far longer than eden, so it's no doubt beat eden. If you compare steam sales too, it's likely completely eclipsed eden.

But mangagamer pushed eden quite hard, which will likely mean that it will be in the top ten for the year.

Story-driven games and gameplay-driven games cater to two different demands. It is a legitimate desire to want to play either the one sort, the other sort, or both. For example, sometimes I just want to have fun, or have a challenge. Story-driven games usually don't provide this, as their main development focus is on the plot, the characters, and so on. Thus I'll turn to other types of games.

Saying "most people only care about X" is a gross oversimplification of the issue.

There's a reasonable number of story-oriented VNs out there but if we're talking about sales numbers, fan-service games/nukige usually sells more. I was talking in that perspective. There are people who care about the story in their VNs, but those people are the minority.

Well, gameplay games certainly seem to be in higher demand of the two, in my experience. Which is why VNs/eroge seem like a different medium entirely, since to be into them at all, you have to be into reading. They're for people who want books, of some sort. And I guess there are all sorts of books people want, if you look at women's romance novels. So then what you said applies here on a smaller level because sometimes people want story, sometimes people want to spank the monkey. So the fact that both types of games are doing pretty well makes me think, maybe when it comes to VNs, there's legitimately a good amount of people who like both, even in the west? Possibly.

I like my chuunige and moege but I like nukige the most because it's one of the last medium that feature explicit sex scenes (dicks in vags) outside of porn video/animation and ero manga and fan fiction/literature.

It would be a sad day in hell if explicit sex scenes go away.

You say "one of the last" like it's dying out, but were there ever any other options? I can't say I remember something with sex scenes that used to exist that doesn't anymore.

I think what makes nukige superior is that you don't see some goofy looking guy with a porn mustache. Or do you?

For example, movies perhaps.

There are some mainstream movies with detailed sex scenes or nudity, but those are the minority and are actually fading away what's with all the PG 13+ trend.

I wouldn't mind more explicit sex scenes and/or nudity in movies in general.

>I think what makes nukige superior is that you don't see some goofy looking guy with a porn mustache. Or do you?
For me, nukige is superior because it's not just a dude fucking a girl: the end, it has context, dialogues and generally more fetish-y which makes it more enthralling to read and hotter to fap to.

I actually wanted to say something like what you just said about nukige but I couldn't really figure out how to word it so I just said something jokey instead. I'm glad we feel the same way, though.

Anyway, I dunno that they're really fading away, it's just that they go in and out. And it's not like they're ever gone, so I think it will just make a resurgence every so often based on the whims of the creators.

I read bits of their blog when it was in development because the consent thing sounded interesting but their attitude completely turned me off

they act like anything that doesn't fit their image of perfect vanilla consent is wrong and bad and they have this very stereotypical perspective about what women really want in porn (nothing kinky, no genital focus in the art, and so on). I'm fine with this stuff existing, but I can't stand this bullshit attitude about being super progressive while shitting on anyone that doesn't conform to your views (which are pretty fucking old-fashioned in a lot of respects)

doesn't help that they seem to know fuckall about what kinds of vns are out there too

If you're legit serious, nobody gives a shit about about the consent part, other than the fact that it's being paraded around. You triggered people with "safe spaces", something that a large portion of 4chan disagrees with in principle on a cultural level. That, in addition to posting that shit here when it belongs on /vg/, in addition to clearly not being a /jp/ native, makes you look like a shill.

Now that Witchhunt is working with MG to release an official English version of Umineko, and now that MG has removed all of the fanpatched versions of 7th Expansions games from their site, it's likely that all future 7th Expansion games will have official releases only. They released that with improved art that 7th Expansions games can make them alot of money on Steam.

Uh, yeah, I would say even the most recent version of this is probably too old for MG. 2007-8 seems to be the farthest back they want to go at this point, though there are exceptions (Rance VI will probably be one).

Someone would have to find this game VERY special for them to ever pick this, I think, and they'd have to be very confident about yuri game sales. I like that the subtitle is just ~an epic~, though.

MG, of course. While I also like JAST, they don't have enough of anybody to finish off their current lineup. Do you even want to see it this decade? Very bad form to license a game and then just sit on it for years. Nitro+ is already pissed. MG has the staff to do it (although, at a slower rate currently) and it'll get out at most within a couple of years.

I've seen comments about this this game before. The people who played it said it was boring and that the consent is repeated throughout the game. The game constantly asks if you're OK with what's going on. It's consent porn, where the entire focus is choosing to consent. The developer even said the main point of the game wasn't to arouse, but to educate.

He usually makes some reasonable arguments but some of the stuff he says doesn't make sense. For example, he actually told ChuableSoft president to sell the non-adult and adult versions of VNs at the same price. Perhaps he doesn't understand how this would utterly canibalize sales of the adult version and give even more reason to people justify pirating the adult version when they only bought the non-adult version through Steam.

That may or may not be true since I don't think we have real life data to decide currently. One has been sold at consistently higher prices. If they were both sold at the same price, it might even be that the mature version might sell more since people are getting more out of it -- the definitive version as it were. That's of course if they were sold at the same store. The steam version will always sell more since the have millions of customers.

You need to take into account that selling both versions at the same price wouldn't be fair because of content differences. For example, if the non-adult version has the adult content simply removed (Cho Dengeki Stryker for example) with nothing to replace it you shouldn't by any circunstances price those versions equally (unless you want to receive loads of complaints from people who bought the adult version). In the case of the existence of content to replace the adult scenes (this is the case with Princess Evangile), I still think the adult version should be at least a bit more expensive (not as much as the first case I mentioned) because of the sex (basically, market reasons).

I remember some guys discussing this on Steam. Let me check the thread... Found it. It starts here:

>the tone I got before was that mangagamer(or kouryuu specifically) seemed to think there was a gentleman's agreement between the two of them

And I have to wonder what gave him that idea in the first place. Did they just have some casual exchange, and what Kouryuu took from that was that JAST wouldn't go after any companies they were partnered with? Maybe this happened back when MG released a mountain of softhouse-seal nukige and he meant he wasn't interested in those partners. Then, MG gets good partnerships and all of a sudden Payne changed his tune.

It's one of their best-selling games, but we won't know how it ranks until MG posts their end of the year results.

It had issues at launch like lines repeating, but overall, Doddler mentioned that they didn't get as much negative feedback about the translation as he was expecting.

Correlating equalities, what the fuck. What does that even mean? I think he just wanted to sound smart and made something up on the spot, like Doublelift and "autospacing."

A lot of people off this site like to be condescending about it without really knowing anything about it. Many of them also write "4Chan" like complete idiots. I remember when tumblr was trying to organize some sort of raid on 4chan, hahaha. But no, every fucking community is stupid. Reddit, Fuwanovel, Steam, GameFAQs, none of them know shit about this place. It's not like this is a very good place but they have some sort of awkward meme about 4chan being the dark side of the internet when it's really just another fucking discussion board site with the downside of anonymity.

Moege is probably my favorite kind of VN. But every time I mention disliking one virtually anywhere on the internet, I'm immediately met with these kinds of responses. As if people think moege can ever be mediocre and unremarkable. Da Capo left me with no impression at all. It failed to invoke any kind of emotion, no laughter, no sadness, no anger or hate, not the warm fuzzy feeling you want, just nothing. It came and went and I was left wondering what I just read.

As for what a moege needs to be good, well first of all it needs to be funny. This isn't really optional. Cute art is a bonus (DC's art is pretty damn bad). Strong characters you become attached to are also a requirement. I couldn't give a shit about anyone from Da Capo. I suppose I could break it down in detail if I really wanted to and make a whole dissertation on moege, but I'm way too lazy so you'll just have to make do with my half-assed explanation.

It's not that I don't think there are mediocre moege, it's that the way you worded it made me suspicious of the reasoning behind your opinion. I see I was mistaken in my suspicion, though.

Clover Days is my favorite in a while. It has this warm feelgood feeling I appreciate and I think it's pretty funny. I'm a big Alcot fan in general although I seem to like them more than some people I've talked to. For english translated games, there's slim pickings. The fan translation scene was really averse to moege for a good long while.

Not him, but Osadai sucks compared to Clover Day's. Naka no Hito Nado Inai is also a decent ALcot title.

Magical Charming is another good moege for anyone looking for recommendations. That said, moege, like nukige, are super subjective, so you're best just trying some and finding writers/artists/seiyuu you like and go from there.

You have broken file in a download, recheck the torrent in your torrent client. As for non-system drive, running the game from there avoids permissions issue when the game writes savedata into its own directory if it's in a protected location (such as "Program Files" or root of the system drive). I personally just install everything to D:\Games.
Anyway, this thread is not for technical support. The game works, go ask /vg/ or something.

Thanks for the information. I went ahead and just used a different download and it worked, so I'll take your word for it that I fucked up the torrent somehow.

To think this is what it's come to, though. I've spent so long waiting for Subahibi that I'm playing Sakura Beach. See what you've done, Herkz? See what you have inflicted upon us?

>Why can't other VNs be that reasonable about pricing? Preferably with a better translation.

They did a hack job cutting out the ero, with no regard for how to connect the scenes before and after. The poor translation quality didn't help either. Before getting on Steam, the title didn't even sell well, so why wouldn't they discount it when people wouldn't buy it at a higher price?

Another thing I like about Cross Ange is that it has a bunch of the older crowd of female VAs. People you don't really see anymore because Japan likes to toss them out of the industry once they reach a certain age, for some reason. Who knew Houko Kuwashima could still do a voice like that? I sure didn't, and might never have if this miracle had not happened, because she's nearly 40 and that means she's dead to Japan. Even when she does get cast it's never a character like Vivian. It's not like they're any less skilled, Japan is just fucking stupid.

So it actually started selling well when they put it on Steam? It feels like getting on Steam is essentially a guarantee of success for a visual novel, to the extent that they must have been completely unaware of its influence if they were dumb enough to not even consider putting it on Steam until like a year later.

A lot of the fan translators out there have this really cocky attitude that wouldn't work very well with a company like MangaGamer. Moogy is one of them, and a good chunk of the Fuwa translators out there are pretty similar. I feel like even if he were inclined to do work, he wouldn't pass their test, because he wouldn't fit with them. Look at all the people that actually work for MangaGamer. BDH, Maria, Good Haro, Doddler. They are all REALLY nice on the internet and friendly to everyone. They were like this even before they started working for MangaGamer. That is what they like to see. Not this cocky prick constantly tweeting about how everything is "dank" and "gay."

He was gone for three months, abandoned VNTLS a long time before that, and abandoned his KS even before that. What the fuck were you expecting? A ticker tape parade simply for the return of someone who has flaked out of everything he said he'd do and was barely on the fringe of the VN scene to begin with?
