Maitetsu is a 30+ hour long visual novel with train info dumps, a lot of loli fanservice, and a whole lot of other boring shit. The H-scenes aren't even part of the main game. Needless to say I didn't particularly enjoy myself, especially not in comparison to Monobeno.

Anyway, I don't think that they'll release it on Steam without heavy censorship due to the fact that Lose really doesn't shy away from the loli pandering whatsoever. Especially considering with what happened with Yohjo Simulator. Stuff like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILBSdb4vza0&feature=youtu.be&t=180
Is exclusive from H-scenes. They will have to be cut, and there's more than a few of these in the very beginning of the game iirc.

Personally I don't think this title will do too well with the English audience. Lolicon material is compartively more niche, not to mentiont he subject matter in the visual novel overall for the main story won't be that interesting for most people. Trains, politics, economics, industrialization, etc. all these are thrown in a bag in a really boring manner. Throw that on top of the inevitably high price tag and I can only assume that it will fail like G-Senjou, Root Double, and the recent Grisaia fan disc.

>>15501188
Fuck if I know. I literally have no idea why those two are doing business. Mangagamer is based in Japan so it'd be no problem to give them Maitetsu, but Sekai? That's a fucking PR nightmare if they don't do it right, and it's a PR nightmare if they DO do it right (and by which, I mean gut it completely to get it on steam).

The thing is, it's risky.

I don't really reconcile lolis with actual kids since they often don't act or actually look like kids (Toddlercon is a whole nother ballpark altogether, and I don't like that), but Lose pushes it a bit closer than a lot of other companies do. Then again they are proportionally--aside from height and bust size--too out of means with actual children considering the exaggerated hip and ass sizes many of them have in the CG. Those are distinctly womanly proportions. Not childish ones.

But bear in mind the public outcry stuff like Rapelay has caused. I can see the theoretical headlines on gaming websites already; "There's a Child Fucking Simulator on Steam!" wherein they would focus on how you can patch your game to have sex with some lolis. This is what I mean when I talk about a PR nightmare. Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions here or over-exaggerating.

Honestly surprised this hasn't happened already. Steam is getting flak for some other shady business practices but nothing about the fact that there's about 10 games you can easily patch to have R18+ content, or a game that's deliberately selling a R18+ DLC.

Yeah, they look like implants don't they? I really don't know why a lot of artists can't do tits properly. Y'know. They don't need to sag like grannie's tits, but they DO need a bit of sag. And space them out, jesus. You'd think a lot of these people have never seen tits before.

Actually, a big thing that pissed me off about Maitetsu is how unnatural the Live2D stuff felt. Everyone looking at you 24/7 really bugged me. The animations felt a bit wonky and overly exaggerated. Downright weird in some of the H scenes.

I would rather have a shit ton of still variations for sprites rather than fully animated ones, honestly.

Bethesda is safe in said exmaple.

That really bothers me. The 18+ content is a part of the game, it should be treated the same as the rest of the content. You shouldn't be able to take stuff out of a game and charge more for it while acting like everyone should be thankful for even getting it.

Well, who knows? They've been evasive but maybe with all the bitching they'll change their minds.

Personally I didn't care for the H too much in Baldr, I was too per-occupied with the game itself most of the time. That being said there are some decent scenes. The game can easily stand on its own without H.

That being said I'm still against a strict all-ages decision simply because of the idea surrounding it rather than the action itself. I won't support censorship of any kind. No exceptions.

MG used to have a terrible reputation.
Maybe Dovac will stop being public, and they'll publish their backlog.
And maybe JAST will release Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa
Maybe MG will actually get sales for their Kamige.
Maybe Doddler will get the loli laws overturned in Canada, and get a massive payout from a lawsuit so he doesn't have to work another day in his life, and can do this full time.

Now, if someone could hack Phantom of Inferno (2013), we could go from the DVD only version to a new version. Depending on laziness, we could even manually transcribe the script from the 2000 version, and edit it. Though I don't know if they actually have the same script, I'm just spitballing

>The game can be difficult to play on a PC, as many media players will not display the video and subtitles properly or at all. Two known media players that do work include VLC and PowerDVD. VLC will run with no problems, allowing the player to fast forward scenes with the slider bar, but the password system will give the player a blank screen if the player attempts to use it. PowerDVD will run fine as well, but sometimes it will not let the player to use the slider bar to fast forward scenes, which can make it more time consuming to replay the game and obtain different endings. PowerDVD also has a working fast-forward option, however it can cause the game to freeze up and stop responding at certain scenes.

>The DVD version removed the save/load system from the PC version, replacing it with a password system to jump to selected points in the story. The CG gallery was also removed in porting, and there is no way to go back and re-read the text in previous scenes. The English subtitles suffer from various quality issues, such as a large amount of typo or grammar mistakes, liberal translations, and sometimes fail to show up at certain points in the story. One particular instance has the character Cal say "Thanks" in the English subtitles, at a time when Zwei is asking about her age.

I would temper those expectations. It could just as easily be another short ammolite game, they've made a few more games with loli heroines since then.

If it's actually a title of note, they might have gotten in with galette. I remember kouryuu remarking ages ago on them on his ask.fm. Most of their titles are also less predatory than most lolige so they'd probably be better for probing the water.

That's if you dare to hope at all. I personally wouldn't.

>>15504186
To be fair, that's pretty par for the course for most feitshes. Fetishists are willing to dish out money for the content they like because they realize that it is in comparatively lower circulation and that they need to support it to keep getting those kind of titles. Just look at all those furfag patreons, with some furfag creators literally raking in tens of thousands per month.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15504131
I am guessing a lot of it is the long delays for already paid for products. WEE, Grisaia, and others have been behind schedule and are still not finished, and any Vita stuff has yet to happen. It probably is difficult to convince the people who were supporting Kickstarters to pay for another one while they are still waiting on the previous kickstarters. Now something like Baldr probably could overcome that through sheer strength of the title, but for a generic doujin title or even a decent moege, it becomes much harder to get people to pay to wait for something else.

It's funny that Doddler's the one causing the drama to spill over.

>>15504186
While I'm not sure the Kickstarter is really indicative of the size of the loli fandom (it barely passed its goal, but some people avoided the KS due to fear of being FBI'd, fear of the company censoring it, or because they'd already read the source material), I also get the feeling that loli is probably the largest fetish within the anime community. A proper lolige would probably do decently. I think if Monobeno got released it'd do fairly well, especially since people love smug anime faces.
That said, it's a really touch subject and I'm sure more than a few people who are into it would be scared of buying the material due to the odd legality surrounding it.

[Kouryuu !!hxCrfH6N6FL No.]

>>15504145
It's not a mistake, just a differing localization choice. When I worked on DEARDROPS, we used the official spellings that condensed the vowels.

It's a perfectly valid decision to use it.

We generally use Hepburn, and either way of writing it fits with that system. A lot of engines don't support macrons, after all.

Every single thing that made it to denpa is there only because of major community outcry or imposed on sekai by developers.

First, the japs are inconsistent too. She's labeled as yu-ki on chuable site.
Second, you mean the promo page which had "Yuuki" in the cast for almost a week, and was only changed yeaterday because I told Haro several times that the site has it differently than what Arunaru stands for?
Third, I'm not talking about consistency with one name, but with all of them. For example, I'm sure Arunaru will go with "Souta" even though it's long form. Why? Because he only dislikes double u. He himself said so, and that is exactly what happened in BBH.
Fourth, you said you responded now, but I still don't see anything regarding my argument that Yuki and Yuuki are both common female names.

Don't say it's too late to change it for the better, because it never isn't. Especially not in this stage.

If it makes your feel better, Subaru's (first) breakdown was really the major turning point for his character for the rest of the show. He stops blaming other people and instead works his ass off to earn the acceptance of Emilia and co, and eventually gets it.

Don't get me wrong, his twisted love for Emilia is never fixed and it only gets worse as his own situation (and of those around him) becomes more dire and hopeless, mirroring Satella's love for Subaru, just as the direction Subaru is going (becoming the Sage) is analogous to the one Satella went through herself. He becomes less insufferable every arc that goes by, but even still he grows more broken as a person instead. I mean, in one of the arcs he's forced to watch everyone he loves and cares about have their skin slowly ripped off over a period of hourswhile he listens to their shrill cries, only to have himself follow the same fate afterward. He's utterly broken as a person for the subsequent loop.

Generally-speaking though, people have been trying to self-insert as Subaru when they've never been intended to. He's supposed to be a broken, incredibly flawed somewhat unlikeable (but sympathizable) character. He's been that way since the first arc, it's just gotten worse because the situation he's in would break even the most stalwart of men, and he's just an ordinary guy.

English doesn't have a letter for "a sound somewhere between F and H". But it's represented as best as it can.
English doesn't have a letter for a long o/u either, but it's best represented by either using the made up macron letter OR using u as the second vowel. Leaving it out completely misrepresents the sound when you have another option.
While that bothers me, what bothers me more is that she gets her name fucking changed. If Souta was written as Sota, it wouldn't bother me on this level, as Sota is not another name. Yuki, however, is. Yuki means fucking snow. TL note this shit.

Nah, it's because their initial Kickstarter was as jewish as possible, cutting shit like CG and BGM out as DLC.

Also, they've been condescending as fuck, it's been translated for a decade, and isn't remotely as popular like Muv-Luv, meaning there's very little incentive to back it in multiple senses.

It's well-known, but the faults intrinsic in both the company and the Kickstarter is too much to save it.

A decent Kickstarter of something like Kimi ga Nozomu Eien with a stated, acclaimed translator would raise $150k+ easily.

It's really dependent upon your interpretation. I don't particularly see why there is so much shaming of adult content like sex and what not. There are many well renowned books that don't shy away from this and I don't see people trashing those for having that sort of content therein. Media like moege are supposed to emulate actual relationships (or, at least, emulate the foundations and generalized aspects of these relationships, with multiple overdoses of 'cute') and that includes sex. There's a reason why romance novels are so popular with college aged students and though the comparison might not be apt I think the two are more-or-less along the same lines of intent for including these kinds of content, though doubtless many VNs do include sex primarily to boost sales in Japan.

And though sometimes the H can be intrusive and awkward (usually happens in plotge) it is an aspect of the original product and as such I don't think it should be forgotten. There's an opera called Z mrtvého domu (From the House of the Dead), based on the same novel by Dostoyevsky, and in it there's a scene where the prisoners depict sexual acts on one another during a play (among other things). For many years this part of the opera was edited out during public performances of the work because it was deemed not to be tasteful and as such audiences never heard the music accompanying it. Though it may seem to be an over-exaggeration to draw a parallel between these two kinds of censorship, I believe similarly worse things could happen to visual novel localization in the west for the future is this kind of censorship is normalized in any way. How much longer before entire scenes are cut out because they're deemed not culturally appropriate for the west? Perhaps this is overly-paranoid but It's a slippery slope that I think no one wants to go down, even if the off-chance at such a thing happening is slight.

I'll also add that having an all-ages version on Steam is obviously expected and I don't particularly have a problem with that. What is important is that the original product is at least in some way available for English audiences to obtain elsewhere (in Sekai's case, Denpa), and it should have as much of a priority as the all-ages version. I would also argue that it shouldn't be paid DLC either, but perhaps that may be pushing it.

If paid DLC or charging a premium off site is required to make 18+ releases viable here, then I am all for it. Even if the 18+ version sells significantly less then the Steam release, getting a portion of the audience to pay a premium (and without giving Steam a cut) makes the economics of an uncut release much nicer.

In Bishoujo Mangekyou, Kirie literally calls the teacher-protagonist a lolicon, though. So even the Japanese can be inconsistent about this.

I don't know if I would called the PE heroines oppai lolis, since other than being toothpicks and having huge uguu features, they don't really appear all that short. At least in comparison to Kirie, who is 148cm. Which is decently below the average height of women in Japan.

I know the ship has sailed long ago regarding this topic when it comes to tagging on English sites but lumping every somewhat petite girl into the loli category just dilutes the point of it.

This so much. It's not a matter of choosing one of alternative spellings, it's a matter of renaming a character for no other reason than "just because". This is where the personal taste of the so-called translator goes against authors' vision. It's fucking stupid to even discuss that ゆうき != ゆき (pic related), let alone pay the translator to make him use the only correct version.

>>15507464
Your opinion is the only thing that is trash, my friend. An authors' wish as expressed in the original release must be respected at all costs in the translated version. This is how it should be, and this is what must be done.

I doubt it. Higurashi was ported to bgi hundreds of years ago, which is why doddler made a new engine(or reused his earlier work to be more specific). umineko never had that happen and doddler didn't work on it. Probably still nscripter

Still that's pretty well known so someone who cares will probably do the work.

I have a huge love hate with Umineko. It's more fun than it is good, especially if you have the voice acting and that killer OST going on. It's kind of hard not to get somewhat swept up in it with top tier VA work and top tier OST.

It is probably Rance VI and Evenicle, Arunaru talked about being actively translating his new project and his rance VI translation was pretty much finished, what make me think that he is not talking about it.

And they added Anime Weekend Atlanta to the convention schedule and it has a panel, so the loli or NTR game is probably going to be announced there along with some hardcopies.

I dunno about that. I interpreted Haruka just as a feeler type game. It seems to be a habit for new licenses to always start with an old game, but that doesn't necessarily mean the next one will be old as well.

I think Evenicle would be quite successful and much more so than Haruka. But then again the same holds true for Rance.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15510339
They did 5 announcements at AX, so 6 for Otakon wouldn't exactly be a stretch. My guesses for Otakon are:
1) Sona-Nyl
2) Supipara Chapter 2
3) A Kiss for the Petals: Maidens of Michael
4) Rance
5) Sorcery Jokers
6) NTR or loli VN, if it's NTR, then it's probably from Alicesoft and MG will punk everyone by announcing it before Rance at the panel.

[Anonymous No.]

They announced Supipara Chapter one last year after they'd already announced plans to localize it. Then there's what happened with the Fata Morgana fandisc this year.

MG hasn't updated the minori fundraising page since the Steam sale and with Supipara 1 launching before Otakon, they likely planned to announce Chapter 2 then, because they predicted it would reach its goal by then.

On literally what basis? I mean, I imagine it'll probably do a few thousand atleast, but I don't think even pulling the same amount of sales as eden is a sure thing.

[Good Haro No.]

>>15510495

Well, generally I might add something like that to mess with you guys, but it's not like an announcement like that would change the number of "actual" announcements. To be honest, I'm a bit more inclined to do it if there's an ugly number of slots on the page and I could even it out with a HC announcement or something (assuming there is one).

Why would they announce two Alicesoft games

[Anonymous No.]

>>15510567

The steam audience is a fickle thing and most of eden's sales are a result of it's own momentum. If supipara can't get that momentum, it won't be featured prominently in sales thenforward and could end up doing mediocre. It being an episodic game is another element against it.

The better question is, has Moonstone stopped working with Mangagamer? Angel Ring and Magical Marriage Lunatics showed up briefly on E2 (even if that looks dead), Moonstone is doing Love Sweets themselves, and Mangagamer is currently translating W Happiness and Imouto Paradise 2. Moonstone appears to be trying to get as many titles as they can to the West as fast as they can, and I doubt Mangagamer would be willing to do more than a couple titles at a time, so Moonstone is looking for other avenues.

The same angel that's actually the first Saint Irene and is using her power to float the city. But she saw humanity didn't get better even after she saved them from apocalypse, so now she wants to destroy it too. So she created the wing disease and Eustia is a produce of that too.

I'm the same way as him so I'll take a swing on explaining. If you have fake spoilers then you can check whatever you know isn't true off the list of possible theories reducing the fun. It might also send you into a different direction of thinking so even if you do guess what the mystery might be it'll feel hollow because you feel like you only got it because of someone else. And also when dealing with fake spoilers you aren't sure what is true so you have to take someone else's word for it but they themselves might be lying so it's always in the back of your mind that the spoiler might be true.

He thinks VN devs teams are no more than 5 people and that charging more than a bare minimum for VNs is anti-consumer. It doesn't matter what VNs cost elsewhere, it's Steam so they should be dirt cheap.

It's a brilliant look into why focusing on Steam is for fucktards. Sekai is already screwing themselves over and if Mangagamer had put more eggs in that basket they'd be on their way too.

>And quite frankly the whole "it's pricey because it's voice acted" doesn't sway my position either when the voice acting is a bunch of squeals in japanese (which I don't understand anyway), not that I think it would be the most immersive thing ever regardless of if I understood it or not.

>>15511659
Personally I'm a huge fantasy reader, so any VN with that setting gets me excited, regardless of quality. Eustia also has meme status and it's one of the few above-average games that the English audience at least got a taste of. I believe when the demo came out it was probably one of the prettiest looking English VNs, and it had a unique setting since 90% of VNs are a high school setting.
As a former EOP I hope it gets brought over so everyone can experience it and so I laugh at people who will actually be mad to see August show an interest in the West. As long as SP doesn't get it, at least.
Eustia definitely has meme status but it's not like it's bad at all.

There's always going to be people like that, but I think Baldr Sky will be successful. Clannad, Grisaia, Kindred Spirits, and Princess Evangile were all "costly" for Steam VNs and they were successful. The only real failure was Gahkthun, and I'm not sure why that failed other than not being extremely well known to westerners.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15512532
Princess Evangile came out when VNs were still selling really well on Steam. It also got lots of Lets Play promotion. Waifu games tend to sell better as well. Kindred Spirits got alot of press as uncensored porn on Steam. Clannad and Grisaia were riding on anime popularity.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15512532
Most Steam VNs are not dong well right now. Grisaia and Root Double both had Kickstarters but their sales seem less than stellar.
I don't think that Baldr will pull garbage numbers like Tokyo Babel did, but it's not guaranteed to be a top seller. It has a lot of prestige in the VN scene right now, but if you check any social media lots of people are bitching about the lack of 18+, that's likely the reason Dovac backpedaled on it, because of how many people are complaining about it. It's certainly not contained just to /jp/ right now, and even Steam's forums show that people are refraining from buying VNs without ero.
Baldr's one selling point that will help it reach mainstream is the gameplay. If SP can somehow convince people (or streamers) that the gameplay is good, it'll be successful. If they can't do that, it'll probably be decent, but I don't think it's fair to compare Baldr to VNs with anime adaptations or ones that have been translated already. Clannad is on an entirely different level than Baldr because of its multiple TLs and the popularity of the anime itself.
If Baldr is $50 or $60 and they can't convince people the gameplay is good, I don't see a lot of the mainstream audience buying it. They'll equate it to an indie game that they can buy for $10-$15 and get 200 hours of gameplay out of without having to "read a book."
I doubt Baldr will bomb but it's too soon to assume it'll be a huge hit.

It's not necessarily cash issues, even in the past they had Gift brought over on mobile so they have been interested in the West for some time.

It's more along the lines of that they are acting like Visual Arts is right now, they made some money in the West so now they want to cash in on as much as they can, and they don't want to wait a decade for their titles to flow through MangaGamer.

Probably a good chance that one of the announcements for Otakon is Love Sweets. At this stage, releasing it will probably cause problems for Moonstone, which might affect any future Moonstone games released by MangaGamer.

Moonstone has not stopped working with MG. They're just doing their own thing too for whatever reason. I'm not exactly privy to their internal decisions so I can't really comment (not that I'd likely be allowed to even if I did know).

>>15513856

Game length has very little to do with how long a game will take to port. It's running on BGI though iirc, which Doddler has a fair bit of experience with.

>>15512382

That's pretty much how they always are in my experience. The best part is if you try to clean up the forums to make them not hellish cesspits for the handful of people trying to use them for actual discussion, the blatant trolls bitching about pricing or whatever (99% of the time they have no VNs in their library and never had any interest in or intention of buying the game in question, they just want to bitch about weebs and how VNs aren't real games) will throw even bigger tantrums if you delete or lock their threads and argue with you endlessly about how unfair their ban was because they were TOTALLY asking a serious question for realsies.

I honestly wish we could just disable them. The worst part is people posting actual support/tech issues on the boards instead of e-mailing us and getting lost in the sea of garbage since we don't have enough staff to babysit the steam forums for every game indefinitely.

Maybe MG and JAST should work together to create a Steam/Nutaku like store for VNs. They could make a agreement that MG and JAST keep full profit of their games from that store while they split the cut for third party VNs. I think that doing this would make it easier for new people to find the VNs that cant be on Steam while also making it more convenient for everyone since they could get most VNs at the same place. This would probably result in more sales too.

But for this to work MG and JAST as the two most important VN publishers in the west need to do it together so that they can both keep the full profit for their VNs because otherwise it wouldn't make much sense for the other party to join.

Well, reading the rest of Doddler's tweets on this and the general attitude from Dovac's twitter I can see where you can arrive at this conclusion, especially considering Doddler was claiming he was a mediating party between two people, and now his recent tweet confirms that there is something a little shaky going on.

Whether or not it is as we are imagining it is another thing altogether, but one thing is certain; something certainly going on in regards to the translation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15514620
Given how Doddler knew absolutely fucknothing about the deal, and Aroduc isn't the type of guy to go around other people he's working with, it's most likely that Dovac got the license right before AX and decided to announce it - either wasn't aware that Aroduc was translating it, or because he had no time to enter talks before AX.

Now they've entered talks, and Aroduc either doesn't like the price that they'll pay, he flat-out doesn't want to sell his translation to Sekai Project because they're cunts (and thus triggering dovac 'maturing up' on Twitter post-AX to try to make himself look better), doesn't like the terms of the agreement in terms of his stake in the final state of the script and censorship, or he was pre-emptively hit with a C&D by SP when they found out he was translating it and are now trying to buy the translation off of him.

Either way, he feels like the type of person who fucking hates censorship, and as >>15514663 said, he's a cynical bastard. I'm sure he'd be fine with just cutting the H-scenes, but I doubt he'd be willing to do what SP did to Grisaia, which is what they'd probably want from him.

Regardless, they're probably at a deadlock.

They took forever to both release the game and pay him.

Gotta remember that JAST pays translators when the game is released, not when it's translated or edited. I swear, JAST's strategy is to wait so long after a work is translated, that they forget to collect the money. That poor Sumaga translator has probably long-since forgotten the project existed.

I think he actually wrote several blog posts regarding that (according to his POV.)

You know what, maybe Aroduc has soured to the whole corporate translations thing and wants nothing to do with SP/MG/JAST ever again?

Maybe. He did decline Jast's offer to translate the additional all-ages content for the steam version of Seinarukana

Frankly I delt after the events of the last few years that he was the only translator that I could reliably still trust to do fan work. That being said I hope he secured a good occupation. He's given a lot to the English community at this point. I don't know how his life situation is but I hope it's good.

Not the only one, apparently.

I've never really understood why he did fan translating anyway, most people would work on translation projects for e-peen, business opportunities, cash and sometimes out of the goodness of their heart. With Aroduc, I just don't know. All possibilities seem unlikely when it comes to him.

Hatred for the Japanese language.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15514818
There's a really obvious possibility you missed.

Maybe he's just bored and he finds translating fun, or at least a way of distracting his mind from the tedium of life, or improving his own understanding of the language?

There's not exactly alot of reasons left.

That genuinely never crossed my mind. Translating and fun? I already hate translating things from DE -> EN, and that's ridiculously easy compared to JP - > EN.

Truly Aroduc must be a rare creature. Or I'm defect myself, probably the latter one.

>Given how Doddler knew absolutely fucknothing about the deal, and Aroduc isn't the type of guy to go around other people he's working with, it's most likely that Dovac got the license right before AX and decided to announce it - either wasn't aware that Aroduc was translating it, or because he had no time to enter talks before AX.
You are fucking crazy. Aroduc was informed about negotiations with GIGA months ago, and everyone on his secret irc channel knew it and discussed it there openly. Its bizarre that Doddler wasn't informed, but there's certainly no issues between Aroduc and dovac.

>>15514953
Right, because you are part of Aroduc's super secret IRC and have access to Aroduc's super secret forum.

If you like writing or languages translating can be real fun. Even moreso if you like the source material. I like translating myself but it's too much of a time sink for me to ever want to work on a VN, but if I had the free time I'd probably give it a go. I'm sure there are others like that.
Like any other hobby or skill, I think it can be enjoyable, just depending on how you apply it. Professionally I'm a programmer but I hate what I work on at work, but when I go home and work on side projects I always have fun with them.

For same reason he called Baldr Sky shit in his review but still spent time translating it or calls every fucking anime shit but still watches it.
His public opinion doesn't align with his actions.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15514953

I am not doubting that Aroduc knew of the negotiations and had been, at least to some degree, involved with them.

On the other hand, I could easily believe that Aroduc isn't happy about the terms of the license with Giga, especially if Sekai had to make concessions to get Giga to agree to the deal without his input.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15514953
Sekai has been trying to get baldr sky for years, there's no secret there. Actually everyone has tried, including Jast and MG. The question is, did Aroduc know a deal was actually struck, and more importantly, if he had agreed to anything. Things could also have changed drastically, including status of 18+, cut content, or use of crowdfunding.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15515378
Aroduc said he was translating porn for it about a week before it was announced. I guarantee the cut content was unknown.

If negotiations fail, can someone who is not Aroduc, maybe someone named cudorA, release a patch?

I find it fun as well, at least when I read in japanese, since I am partly mentally translating in my head anyway, and I think about how I would phrase it in english

So that's why kirby has been acting like a starving hobo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15515801

Thanks. Managed to unpack it with that crass tool I found eventually instead, seems to be a pretty unknown engine, its archives are in the form of ".gsp" files which crass seems to use AGSD.cui for. Scripts are in some painfully formatted ".spt" form.

As the repacker Crass claims it has in fact seems to not exist though seems I'm at a dead end as far as potential editing goes.

>>15514699
Man, if it's true Aroduc sure is unlucky picking publishers to work for.
He should just go with MG like all cool freelancers do.

>>15514776
I can understand the hate behind Sekai Project, but them also despising MG strikes me as weird. The only reason I can think of is that they tried to sell their translation and were told it was shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15515844
He tried to get MG to license Romanesque. It wasn't his idea for Jast to get it, and if he's not signed on with SP yet, he hasn't picked them either.
