The game page on Nutaku has 4 girls in the cgs. And if they removed the loli(one of those 3 girls they mentioned) we'd know.

They probably meant conquered as in those are the main heroines. 4 of the girls are in the game as normal. Only the trap was cut.

>Tayutama 2 - Trial out, December release, R18 patch planned but may not be ready at launch

For what it is worth, Hikari Field intends to make it a paid patch, and the main reason that the patch may not be available at launch is they are still trying to nail down distribution (as they note in an exchange with the 18+ patch announcement, https://twitter.com/hikari_field/status/935467415667851264 ). Questions about should 18+ patches be free or not aside, I doubt that a paid 18+ patch released sometime after the initial Steam release will find much success, especially with the new Steam rule so they can't even announce that they released the patch on Steam itself. Beyond that, they happen to be a new company without any prior English releases and thus have next to no established PR reach to let people know about the patch release outside of Steam (as opposed to Jast who released the Eiyuu Senki patch a bit after release), and Tayutama 2 itself isn't exactly a high profile title that will get recognition from people going out of their way to find out information about the release.

Newton is up to $53k for its Kickstarter. It seems to have got a sizable bump today from a cross promotional thing with Mikandi directing Libra backers towards it. Based on the momentum it has managed to maintain it should be on track to hit its $69k and likely its $86k stretch goals. That said, it is certainly is on track to be a much bigger success than Sakura Sakura, which got $28k and only managed to cross its $24k goal with a last minute boost.

Separately, Cherry Kiss put out something asking for suggestions for more Norn titles to bring over. Interestingly, they claim to have access to "the *ENTIRE* Norn/Miel back catalog", so either they have some type of direct involvement with Norn, or they somehow made a deal where they have their pick about which title to work on.

Has a LOT of typos and ESL grammar, they might've fixed most of that though since I only checked it right when it released. For some strange reason there were entire sentences omitted/added but it seemed rare.
Also most/all of the narration that was first person was changed to third(for consistency most likely. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on the individual but the typos and grammar mistakes were absolutely horrid.

Denpa added SakuSaku to Nutaku yesterday, so combined with the other Denpa releases last month it seems whatever had been the holdup for the Nutaku/Denpa partnership has been resolved.

That said, looking as the daily popularity chart for today, which updates once daily and appears to be based on the previous day's sales, Tenioha appears to have outsold SakuSaku yesterday (thus SakuSaku's release day on the platform).

That said, throwing SakuSaku on the platform does make the (still unaddressed) Tenioha censorship even odder. For Tenioha which Nutaku seems to have had a hand in publishing, they decided they needed to alter CGs with blood, yet they immediately are fine with publishing a third part title which includes CGs with blood the following week.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17998369
Any source on Nutaku having a hand in publishing? It's likely it's self-published and Nutaku is just a storefront. Makes sense since it was an unannounced release that came out of nowhere. I would think that Nutaku knows their audience enough to not edit content especially after getting a lot of bad press from their edits previously on their browser games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17998413
It seems to be a mixed bag. On the one hand, the censorship is exactly in line with the edits that were common in Nutaku's early days, and even if the Japanese company thought that removing the one character's scenes was to make it more popular in the West, removing CGs with blood is something unlikely to be done unprompted on the Japanese side.

If I had to guess, at some point during development Nutaku someone gave the publisher a set of "Nutaku requirements" that were in line with Nutaku's old policies, even though Nutaku's current policies would have been fine with publishing the title uncut.

That or the Japanese publisher just targeted Nutaku and looked into the changes that Nutaku made on their games and lined up with what they figured "the standard for Nutaku" was.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17998445
If Nutaku wasn't responsible for the censorship I'd be pretty shocked. I looked into censorship because I saw the character on vndb and immediately thought "I bet that character's content was removed", and completely unsurprisingly, it was. While Nutaku did change course a bit on censorship, translation for a full length nukige could take 1-2 years, it's possible that the decision was made before the shift. Maybe the Japanese developer made the decision themselves based on the Nutaku guidelines, but I don't doubt it comes down to Nutaku's involvement.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17998589
Indeed, it is plausible that the original publisher might have removed the character themselves. But Nutaku is the only Western publisher to have ever removed blood from HCGs, and regardless of if Nutaku had a direct hand in the localization or not, it is hard to believe those changes were done for any reason other than appeasing Nutaku's old guidelines.

The slightly more promising thing though is this probably was just Nutaku's old guidelines somehow making an appearance again (perhaps as you say the censorship decisions might have predated the new guidelines), rather than some reversion to the old practices, considering the other titles that Nutaku has published on their store recently.

For what it is worth, the R18 Newton demo does not have mosaics on the CGs so I would assume that they'll be removed from the full release.

In light of this, as Sol Press had said Sakura Sakura would maintain their mosaics, I have to imagine that decision was from the Japanese developer rather than their decision.

Their Sakura no Mori page has an English description as well.

That said, if they happen to get the English rights to either title, the translation quality will very likely be poor considering that they are a Chinese focus company, and the Tayutama 2 demo had a relatively poor quality translation with the English demo. Although they are doing an R-18 patch for Tayutama 2, so they would likely follow through with an R-18 patch for either title if they were to get the English version as both Japanese companies have been fine with R-18 Western releases.
