Cool, I came here just in time. Check this out:

SC2VN tells the story of an aspiring professional gamer who has moved to South Korea, the mecca of esports, in attempt to break into the highly competitive scene. The protagonist, Mach, must not only face the challenges of the world’s best StarCraft 2 players, but also the issues that come with leaving everything behind to pursue a dream in an uncertain industry. Players will have the opportunity to interact with various progamers, team managers, and fans as they attempt to build themselves into the best StarCraft 2 professional player in the world.

I'm aware. But MangaGamer doesn't target Japan as market, right? You could make the same argument in Russia, games hardly cost more than $10 over there, but publishers don't see that as a reason to sell games for $10 in other regions of the world.

That's comparing apples and oranges. I'm not sure if you have any idea how much money flows into the development of your average game, and in turn, how many hours of gameplay they offer. VNs cannot compare in any way, so naturally, I'm expecting to pay less money for less value.

Average full-price VN lasts around 25 hours, 40-50 for the longer ones. There are a lot of shitty AAA games with way less content that cost more. And they don't even have porn.

And again, there's not enough of a customer base to make up the development costs if they cut prices further than they already have. It's basic economics, man.

>>14055155

That's not what I said, try again. Why waste your time on something you think has so little value compared to a "real" video game?

Also, you do realize that the reason those multi-million dollar AAA games can sell for a mere $50 is because they know they can sell hundreds of thousands of copies. A VN's lucky to sell four digits in English and cost a lot to license and localize, so they're priced accordingly. If AAA games sold like VNs they either wouldn't exist or they'd cost several thousand dollars.

How do bundles work? Not him, but I always assumed it was a bad thing for the creators of the game and they only ever do it as a last-ditch thing. So when I buy humble bundles I throw all the money at the site to support what they're doing rather than the developers because I feel like I'm essentially pirating the game anyway. I just own it to say I own it legally because that makes me feel good, or for multiplayer because you can't pirate that.

Basically the bundles model works because most of a title's sales come close to their launch. At some point, you're basically selling 0 copies.

So you take older titles that are making you no money, sell them at a massively reduced price to makes some money, and maybe convince people that have never bought your products to look at your new games with their new game prices.

It's advertising, basically. Advertising that they get paid to make.

It's seen as a bad thing because the indie scene today is a tumor. Games go straight into bundles because nobody will buy them because they're shit, and nobody buys those bundles because all the games are shit.

When it first started good games were bundled and it was seen as a good thing, because a lot of copies were sold and they made decent profits. But they don't make good games anymore, because Steam has cancer.

When you think about it, it's actually preferable that he hurries up and gets to Baldr Force, because that one is so old that it's never going to get picked up for official localization.

Aroduc's promise was more along the line that he would definitely do it, probably, eventually, unless he has something better to do, or if he couldn't get the tools, or if he could get the tools but just can't be arsed.

You realize they can and have made all ages versions for Steam for games that did not have them before. Even if MangaGamer wasn't totally fine with releasing 18+ only games they could make one for Baldr Sky.

Also, Baldr Sky's translation will take a while. It's entirely possible that Steam will have sorted things out by then and 18+ titles will be allowed. They're going to reevaluate it as early as next year.

GOG has this weird-ass anti-visual novel policy, to the extent that they refused Huniepop simply because they thought it was a visual novel and ignored the response email explaining that it is not in fact a visual novel. Which it isn't, it's a fucking match 3 game.

I dunno, the people running these stores are kind of retarded, which is a shame because I like CD Projekt Red. Hell, VNs only even made a breakthrough on Steam because of Greenlight, which forced Steam to actually allow VNs instead of refusing them for some arbitrary reason. That's what I like about Greenlight, it just lets you tell Valve, "Fuck you, this game is getting on Steam whether you like it or not."

Considering the average person can read a long visual novel in like a week if they're actually trying, there is no fucking reason that an editor should be taking three months on a single game.

I haven't looked at mangagamer's prices but I was going through eroge shops in akiba today and the games weren't terribly expensive. Some older stuff was in 1000-2000 yen range unless rare. Especially dime a dozen nukige was cheap. There's a fuckton of it in the shops, more than anyone could read anyways.

Newest bishoujo mangekyo was 3800 and 4000 yen in two different shops. Rance 9 was 4500 yen I think. Can't really remember other specific examples.

>And in case anybody was curious, yes, it is something I have contemplated working on since decent tools exist and I wouldn’t need a hacker. Moreso recently than in the past because the only actual progress made on any actual hacking I’ve needed done since, uh… mid 2014… was “I showed up.” The problem, however, is that like DS, it doesn’t run well on modern systems, to put it very mildly. Even gets upset when you try to window it with things like dxwnd, so it’d… be as much of a mess, and people already didn’t care at all about DS to begin with. Not right now though. Not next. Not the one after that. Most likely not the one after that either (although at least two of those are very short). But maybe some day, if for no other reason than to undercut Sky.

The length of the game is usually what dictates its price. You have cheap ones like Demon Master Chris, and then you have expensive ones like Koihime Musou that are very long.

It's not just MangaGamer either, Sekai Project sell Grisaia for $40 full price, because it's a long game. And JAST USA's gameplay titles are also $30-$40.

Koichoco is definitely not coming this month based on their progress post, and I suspect October is unlikely too. It seems like they're just not very motivated to work on it so they take their time and plug away at it every so often, whenever they feel like it. Which is slightly annoying since I'm sure the quality of the patch is more than acceptable, but there's nothing to be done unless someone hacks them and steals their files or they leak it.

Bundles or sales are your only hope then, since I doubt softhouse-seal et al. intend to just half the prices of their games. Part of what makes sales so effective is that they're for a limited time, if the games just price dropped there would no incentive to purchase them immediately.

No. In a siliconera interview Kouryuu mentioned that nukige have larger tails. It's due to the porn being the draw, while with story games the people interested likely bought it around launch.

With regards to the price of visual novels, it really depends on the demographic of your market. Let's start with the novel/reader audience, with the assumption that visual novels target 'readers.'

In the modern market books are considered to be expensive. It may not seem so, but they are. Comparatively speaking, that is. The price of mass market paperbacks have exploded over 300% in the past few decades, well over the rise of inflation. Not to mention that many older books that need to be back ordered are only available in trade paperback form, which forces the reader to shell out more money because trade paperbacks are a more expensive format of book (I prefer them though.) This is one of the reasons attributed to the decline in the number of people purchasing books, buying a mass paperback book in the 60s cost less than a dollar.

Now, if VNs are targeted at the reader market, and readers view 10-20 US dollars for a 400k word book to be expensive, it really doesn't take much logic to deduce that VNs priced in the 30-40 dollar mark is out of their price range, let alone those priced at 50 dollars and above. You could buy an entire TV series for that money, or a game.

And mentioning 'games' (like my segue? :3) let's examine how gamers would view VNs. For gamers, 35 to 40 dollars is a hell of a lot of money to pay for a game with no gameplay. Where's the 'game' part of it, they'd wonder. Which is exactly what gamers criticise Telltales games for (games which are sold cheaper than a lot of MG's VNs btw.)

So VNs have a problem with both gamers and readers would pass by VNs for different reasons, which is probably one of the reasons why Cho Dengeki Stryker, and Princess Evangile, have only moved a few thousand on Steam, as opposed to their cheaper brethren who have moved many times that amount. You may see an increase in episodic content in the future for this reason *shrugs*.

The Sunflower Himawari -Pebble in the Sky-:
Well, that's the no-name of the announcements. The original developers are Blank Note, a doujin group I've never heard about before. The only involvement of Front-Wing seems to be to act as a publisher for an official release in Japan. The tile itself seems to be a lolige. Probably a little doujin gem comparable to Myth and the art is... as expected. Good ratings though, but I think this title is more intended for lolicons. I doubt I'll buy it.

Well... I'm not very up to date with the way of things on the internet, and with technology in general. I don't get the point of an anonymous forum, usually if people didn't want others to know who was at the end of an account, they'd make a disposable one. But all these anons make it confusing, and hard to have an argument, because you don't have any idea if it's one person or 50 you're talking with. I put my name there so you know who said what, so if you think I'm an idiot or you disagree, you'd know who you were addressing when you make your inevitable loud, and vehement comment.

If I were seeking to build a reputation, I think it wouldn't be by posting on an anonymous internet forum, or any forum actually. If I wanted an internet reputation I'd go about it the normal way - by using eggs, toilet rolls, bricks, a video camera, and a Youtube account.

If I wanted to be arrogant I'd have a tripcode I suppose, but there's no reason to protect my username on this board and so I don't. I take it people don't use usernames around here for a reason? :S

Jast:
Even if they didn't announce much, I'm certainly happy with the ones or better 'the one' they have.

Flowers:
While I did expect an announcement of Flowers, I certainly didn't expect it from Jast. But I really appreciate that they announced to do ALL parts as they are released. If it would have been an announcement by MG, there would be certainly a lot of "if stretch goal x was reached" or an obscure "it the title does well, we 'might' consider the next part". Anyway, it's certainly a must buy.

While I don't disagree with you, I'd like to know how you found your way to this place. Doesn't seem like somewhere you'd really want to come, and yet here you are.

People simply prefer anonymity on this site out of tradition. There's a prevailing belief that if you only want to use your name for identification and aren't actually contributing something more valuable, it makes you an attention whore. But you're completely right - more than anything, anonymity causes a lot of confusion. The only reason it's still a thing here is because it has been one for so long and people would freak out if it were ever changed. People do not like the idea of actually being held accountable for their posts.

Well, I’m an RPG fan first and foremost with a passing interest in visual novels (mainly because not much of interest to me gets translated.) And if you’re an oldschool RPG fan, there’s only a few places on the internet to hang out. RPGCodex tends to be one of the main places, which is essentially 4chan for old-school RPGers. It’s hated for many of the same reasons that 4chan is hated, and would be even more hated if the hidden forums were available to view by everyone, instead of being only viewable for those signed up for longer than a year.

So I’m familiar with 4chan and 4chan style communities, sort of, but I mainly lurk and don’t really participate. I’m aware that there’s some really good stuff on 4chan, but it’s mixed with a lot of not good stuff. I’m really only interested in the conversations of substance, which can be really quite good, and I have to skim past the moments of nonsense, which unfortunately can go on for a long time :(. I can’t remember much of substance in the last 3 visual novel threads on /vg/ for example.

I’m a moody guy, so sometimes I feel like hanging around a more pub-like atmosphere, like 4chan style communities, and sometimes I’ll stick to more sterile communities, like Reddit. It really depends on what mood I’m in. I’m not actually very active in the VN community, I pop in every now and then but I’m much more active on certain RPG and sport forums. Only I use a different name :P

The information about anonymity is appreciated. I think I'll keep using my username because it's what I'm used to, and I'm a creature of routine. I don't like it when my routines get disrupted, and I'm not really active enough in the VN community so it's not like you'll be seeing my name often :P

For what it's worth, I liked Koichoco despite it not being a "good" game, but I kind of doubt most people are going to get the same kind of enjoyment out of it that I did.

You see, I liked Koichoco because I absolutely loathed Chisato, and seeing her so buttdevastated in the other routes filled me with a sort of perverse glee that I haven't experienced from any other game. I played every route just to make Chisato cry in as many ways as possible.

I, uh... don't think that was the reason I was supposed to like it.

Maybe it's like a philosophical question?

Can "hard" science fiction be fiction? Hard science, by definition, is supported by the objective evidence presented by our universe, things that are absolutely real, true, and observable. Fiction by definition cannot be real or true, therefore is hard science fiction not an oxymoron?

I think it's there because when the tag was created six years ago, the author thought there might not be anything taggable. (I feel like depending on who you ask the definition of hard SF ranges from "science fiction with an emphasis on science" to "science fiction that respects the laws of physics almost entirely.")

Fantasy is a subgenre of chuuni. And yes, before you ask, that means Tolkien and stuff were some of the earliest famous chuuni writers. I also just got done reading a Moorcock book and it was another good example of this.

Demonbane is far more chuuni than Ayakashibito, which is more of a martial arts flick with fantasy elements than chuuni, really.

It really doesn't matter if the thing has sci-fi or whatever other elements (though the only sci-fi thing about Demonbane is the fact that their magic robots seem to be made of metal), it's chuuni if it's over-the-top power level explosion porn where everyone and their mom have dormant secret super-powers they never realized they had before (but always knew in their hearts they were "special").

A good thing about the genre, is that past Dragon Ball Z like nonsense it also branched to a somewhat philosophical path after a bunch of actually smart writers realized that the idea of wishing your bogus super-powers (that you know are real in your heart) into reality nets one a fantastic stage for exploring some of the more common human cravings and even their corporeal manifestations. And that's how F/SN and Dies Irae were born.

He's trolling, simple as that. Or perhaps I should say he's a shitposter, since troll is kind of a weak sounding word and we've moved on to shitposter since it has more oomph behind it. The problem with "shitpost" is that Reddit uses it on well-intentioned posts, friendly jokes and all that rather than specifically for people who are trolling. I feel like the internet would be a better place without Reddit.

Another laughable thing is how heavily they rely on VNDB as a crutch. Tons of English-only folks can be seen saying stuff along the lines of "Well, according to my calculations, it has (list of VNDB tags) so I don't think I'll like it." Occasionally some of them will get really bold and bring the EGS score into it, too.

I have yet to play it, but my impression is that it is a walkthrough game where you get options that don't really give any hints at all on how they'll impact the game.

I don't mind it too much in Fate like games where a wrong choice mainly tend to give you a quick death scene. But I don't like the games I've tried that let you play 30 minutes in vain because you made the wrong initial decision.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 8 13:14:16 2015 No.14068030 >>14067905 Personally I suspect that the point of doing it this way is that the bad ends are quite involved and not necessarily wrong choices, in the sense that there's still a story to tell with them.
