I remember that it was mentioned that usually Alicesoft stuff were announced at Otakon. Now I wonder if these are mainly new nukige announcements or something.

At least seeing Doddler tweeting his work on it gives some hope on this 2018 release being true. Though, as he said in his tweets, how is that going onto Steam? I guess we might find out soon

QA and testing. You need to make sure that changing the strings to English or editing images hasn't broken the thing in any way and for gameplay titles this can take a lot of time since you have lots of different things to look through and test.

I am going to take a huge guess and say 2 are moege and the other 2 are Nukige. As for the partner one has to wonder who it is.

>>19586150
>This made me wonder, just what happens after editing that can take quite some time anyway before release? Quality Assurance?

You would be surprised at how much Quality Assurance exists. They are more than likely having editors combing over every single line and having certain people test out if there is any bugs when playing the game at all.

Mangagamers release of Luckydog1 is about to become the inferior version.

https://terracannon876.wordpress.com/2018/08/03/lucky-dog-1-bad-egg-release-date-and-other-info/

Tennenouji is releasing an updated version at the end of the year with more content (epilogues for original routes + new routes).

Also 99% of the voices are being recast. Only 1 character is remaining the same.

Most likely disappointed by the initial sales numbers of KnS 1 and 2.
KnS sold horribly the first few years and only later it became somewhat of a hit. They also had issues with Kara no Shoujo 1, where they couldn't afford to pay the seiyuu company and it was initially released without voices, just like Koihime Musou.
Seeing that Innocent Grey went to JAST with the Flowers series makes me wonder if we're ever going to get KnS 3 translated, hopefully not by JAST.

>Figuring out whether we can adapt the translation to the e-mote version is basically what’s delaying it, but I think it’s finally starting to move along. I don’t think it should be long now, and I hope we can use the e-mote version too.
In short, they are trying to get the translation to work with the remastered version which came out this year in Japan.

I'll go with:
>Kami-sama Nante Yondenai!

>Sakura no Mori Dreamers
New partner should be a ''bigger'' nukige since Quof said that his translation project will be announced at Otakon and so far he's only translated nukige for them. He also posted that one of the characters speaks with a kansai dialect. Taking a quick look at vndb and at visual novels with that tag I found Maou no Kuse ni Namaiki da!
>https://vndb.org/v10325
It seems like a gameplay nukige to me and it's by Luxury, which are part of Nexton.

Conjueror also said that he's translating a medium sized plotge/chuunige for MangaGamer and we still have the Sorcery Joker hint left.

If it sold well later on surely they would not leave. My guess is as good as anyone else's as to answer may happen. But I am hoping MG at least Secured KnS 3 license and did not ask anything else. My guess is KnS 1-3 will stay with MG while anything else after will be with JAST.

KnS 2 was released almost 3 years ago, if MangaGamer asked for anything else from Innocent Grey they would have already announced it by now.
KnS 3 doesn't even have a release date in Japan and even if it gets release don't get your hopes up for a translation of it anytime soon.

IIRC, the remaining hints are sakura, language, otome, and Sorcery Jokers.

Sakura Mori Dreamers and the Kalmia8 otome games would clear out two of the hints. I personally think that the other titles are also related to the hints, though they could save some notable titles for Anime NYC. It's also possible that Sorcery Jokers was never meant to be a hint.

Language is far too vague for me to guess. There's Kotonoha Amrilato, but that's yuri overload. As for the Sorcery Jokers hint, I think it refers to another 3rd Eye game. Maybe Sorcery Jokers sold okay enough for MG to want to try another 3rd Eye game. I remember Kouryuu saying that MG was willing to try to get more Propeller titles.

>>19588895
People mostly guessed Galzoo Island during AX because Min-naraken was there, and MG was emphasizing Gal Monsters. The Gal Monster art pieces that were being sold were Rance X designs, but no one was crazy enough to assume Rance X.

I just read it. I can understand where he is coming from with wanting Plotge. But he really makes not the best arguments for it. Why does everything need to be just plotge like 999 visual novel? And also why even attack MG when they are finally getting current games which is going to open up more options for them in the future? Sex is a huge seller or at least enough to give them the money needed to keep going.

To me I even understood this year was going to be full on BL, Otome, Moege knowing the industry they follow trends or what they think will sell. Expecting anything more than sex would lose them sales just look at Sekai and how they have to bend over backwards to appease customers with Maitetsu.

He is also missing a few other games with plotge elements like Grisaia Full Trigger, that is on its 5th episode, Steins;Gate Elite, I walk among Zombies(yes I will give Denpasoft credit on this one despite them being a shell for Sekai).

Lastly though I do predict next year or even at the end of this year we will see more Plotge and/or Gameplay orientated games. But I don't think it will be like that guy says where all sex games are gone and its just that though. That's him using his feelings and not understanding economics.

Both words 'Sorcery Jokers' were italicized so it's safe to assume that it was one hint and not two.
Also, they have had that as their twitter background for a long time, way before AX or any other indication that Galzoo Island will be translated.

And that's the reason people thought it was going to be Galzoo Island.
That combined with min-naraken (GI artist) showing up at their panel and because announcing even more Rance before releasing Sengoku and Quest wouldn't be exactly a good idea, Galzoo made for an easy guess.

I personally think that plotge and chuunige will always be second fiddle, but the fact that they are being considered at all despite the huge risk shows how passionate companies like MG and JAST are. If all they wanted was profit, every company would do pure nukige, but that isn't the case at all. Heck, none of the announcements from the 3 main companies were pure nukige.

>>19592770
Personally, I can respect MG's decision to announce Rance X at AX. They just want to assure people that they are finishing up the series even if X won't release for 3 years or so. Ys left Xseed, and people thought Flowers was a shoe-in for MG before JAST got it, so there is some logic in outright announcing a hyped game as early as possible. Any issues I have concern the probable release date of the remakes being after Rance X, but Alicesoft will likely release Rance 04 in the future even though they already released Rance X.

There apperently is a fan translation, I have no idea on the quality though.
If you meant officially, Aksys or Idea factory, would probably be the one to pick it up, if ever.
It's also developed and produced by Rejet though, and iirc they thought overseas piracy is killing them so their attitude could hold localization back if content/lack of interest doesn't.

X was also a super-last minute addition that they just got right before the panel, so the hannies were speculating if they really did intend to announce GalZoo because of Min but swapped it out for X (and IX) latter on because of the X confirmation.

So, you could continue hoping for GalZoo Island. I mean, I'm still hoping for the new partner to be Otome Domain.

So, if the hints are those four listed earlier, my guesses would be
Otome Domain

Just like Yuzusoft titles were reserved for them too?

Not every company can cost themselves an exclusivity deal. Jast managed to get Nitro+ with their J-list money but that's pretty much it.

I believe this as well. But even then it's difficult to find good licenses for plotge and Chuunige on vndb. Which makes me wonder if they are going to try their hand in trying to find small companies etc.

Geez, it seems people are forgetting already that MangaGamer used to be called NukigeGamer a few years ago and only thanks to certain titles which did extremely well on steam (from the early Eden*, Go Go Nippon to Kindred Spirits) they managed to get better licenses.
MangaGamer currently has the best licenses they ever had, saying that you're let down just because they didn't announce 3+ all ages story focused plotge is quite silly.
They kinda should be thankful that they are even getting plotge at all considering how much more expensive they are to license compared to some random moege or nukige which would be less risky to pick up and on average more profitable than plotge.

Definitely agreeing here. Maitetsu is a charage with an infodump integrated into the story and "comedy". I mean the whole game is advertised with Hachiroku, figurines, wallscrolls, on the main cover etc.

It would help if JAST wasn't hogging the Nitro+ licence while doing very little with it, then it might relieve the problem sightly, but even then it is still impossible to release good plotge after good plotge.

> Which makes me wonder if they are going to try their hand in trying to find small companies etc
I feel this is a double edged sword. You might get something on the cheap but it will be some no name title by some literally who and then it will go unnoticed. Even something like Myth, which had a few people know a bit about it, ended up being a complete flop with something like 300 sales on steam.

While it's not too uncommon in the mainstream localization industry for a Japanese company to let different localization companies do different works, the Japanese companies that work with eroge and visual novels are small. There's also how there are a wide variety of localization companies for mainstream Japanese stuff while for the VN/eroge industry, there's only 3 established ones, maybe 4 if you count Frontwing.

It is a boring game made for Japanese train otakus and lolicons. But they butchered the release for lolicons, so it is almost only for western Japanese train otakus.

It was really heading towards Haruka sales first, as most lolicons would buy multiple copies. But then they failed the launch, and kept censorship in the fix. Removing all motivation for people to buy multiple copies to bring in more Lose games.

Right now they are still selling above expectations as people will still buy it for the loli content, despite that they'd rather not pay over 50% of the price for a censored product.

I'd have angrily bought one copy myself, but I had two big expenses hit so I had to save money for later. I'm kind of hoping they change their minds and fix the release by then, or offer a discount.

It is nice, but much more difficult to follow than your average VN, as it is dense with politics and train talk. I think most people will find it boring and/or difficult to follow and engage with. The loli aspect is also mostly the Hscenes which are nearly all after-stories, so the perverts will have to get past the story hurdle. Overall, I don't see it having a very broad appeal. Personally I like it and don't think the censorship is very meaningful, though.

There aren't that many changes from last week apart from what >>19600089 said.
The Top 5 Hardcopy Chart is more interesting this week:

1. Princess Evangile Limited Edition (6 copies left)
2. Umineko When They Cry - Answer Arcs
3. Princess Evangile Whappiness Hardcopy Bundle
4. Kindred Spirits on the Roof Limited Edition
5. Umineko When They Cry - Question Arcs

Despite not even being on sale (50$ and 60$) Princess Evangile climbed up the chart. Kindred Spirits on the Roof seems to be one of MangaGamer's most successful hardcopy titles since it's in the chart almost all the time.
I'm not really a yuri fan but the limited edition, which includes an art book, 2 disc soundtrack and other goodies looks great. Wish other titles would sell so well and got this kind of limited edition treatment.
Umineko Answer Arcs hardcopy was released last month and people most likely bought both Question and Answer Arcs together.

The other surprising thing is that Imouto Paradise 2 hardcopy isn't in it. Maybe most people already pre-ordered it some weeks ago or they are going to buy it at Otakon in a few days.

>>19601472
It's most likely going to be Sisterly Bliss, since I doubt they want to put 2 nukige in a row (Bitter Exclusion).
Damekoi will most likely take another month or so to script and test the new version.
Everything else is stuck in the pre-scripting phase or getting ready for beta test.
Half of the industry has issues with getting their visual novel approved on steam and MangaGamer will most likely have the same issues too once titles like Steam Prison, Hashihime of the Old Book Town and Lilycle Rainbow Stage!!! finish beta testing, so we'll see more MangaGamer store only titles until steam releases their new tools in the upcoming months.

I don't know about Hashihime, but both Steam Prison and Lilycle were both originally all ages and only have all ages versions, so getting them through should be painless. Lilycle might run into the same pedophilia issue Maidens of Michael had, but at a glance, there's nothing as extreme as teacher x elementary student in there.

While yuri games seem have sold okay in the MG store, they seem to thrive on Steam for one reason or another (Kindred Spirits compared full length Sono Hana in MG store only or even the one Steam Sono Hana game compared to the ones not on Steam). I think Lilycle will be able to demonstrate if this is a fluke or not. It won't sell as well because it won't have nearly as much coverage, but it should sell much more than the average MG game on Steam if yuri is really a big factor.

There are a fair number of titles that have been ported to new engines, usually for one of two reasons. Either it is easier to port it then to get the original engine work in a non-Japanese locale, or in some cases it is simply cheaper to get someone to port it than to license the Japanese engine.

Unity gets a lot of flak because it gets associated and used in lots of shitty indy or asset flip games which are put on Steam. The engine itself is fine if you actually have someone who knows what they are doing and you might even end up with a better result over the original in some cases.

Looks like valve is messing with visual novels again or it's maybe just a bug, but if you search certain visual novel on the top right they won't show up.
For example Princess Evangile W Happiness (original visual novel shows up), Kindred Spirits (drama CDs show up), Eiyu*Senki, Nekopara 1, 2 and 3 (Extra and OVA show up) and many more.
All those titles are still on steam and you can see and buy them when you click on the publishers page or click on a direct store page link, but on search they won't show up.

They were saying on /v/ that these strings were added to the steam client, and some companies that had games getting filtered got replies from valve along the lines that part of the filtering update went live by mistake.

Retarnia was originally a Unity game, I didn't do anything to it except change the text and swapped out images. I'm aware that opening the menu is slow... but there's not much I can do about it. The entire menu UI (every single page and screen) is loaded in one massive scene with thousands of entities and components, all with nested references to other components all over the place. The whole thing gets loaded in one go (unloading all other scenes and content at the same time). And yeah, it takes a few seconds to load, which is terrible for something you're constantly accessing. I tried to salvage it by separating individual menus into their own prefabs or scenes, or even just avoiding unloading the thing from memory, but the design made it almost impossible to change without rewriting the whole thing. I'm not happy with how that turned out, but it's an issue that plagued the original just as bad.

I doubt they'll ever allow full-on porn on steam. There's the legal issues, payment processors, and potential backlash/controversy to consider. And all that effort would be for what?

I don't see how it's any more convenient than having a well organised folder. I'd probably argue it's less convenient considering that you have to apply 18+ patches to everything.

Surprised to see other people who played Retarnia.
I ended up quitting and starting the game every 40 minutes or so, which would solve the slowdown issue for me.
Retarnia was mediocre at best, but since I paid like 15$ for it I can't really say I'm disappointed, at least the pricing was right.
We need more gameplay titles. I'm surprised nobody has picked up some older title from Gesen 18, Astronauts (Demonion has a popular hentai too), SofthouseChara and many more smaller ones.

The convenience would be if you can store it on a server somewhere and then just download it when you want to play it.

If someone wanted to host all eroge for direct downloads for everyone, it would be roughly just as good. Just a bit harder to manage ownership and money transactions to publishers.

It's not unusual for MG to release just one small eroge in a month. They released the Imopara 2 hardcopy, so that's something notable for August. The soonest anything is likely to be announced is 2 weeks from now, but I don't think they will. They could announce Hashihime, but they are likely to wait until they are sure that they can set something for preorder by the time they release that game. Tsui Yuri, Bitter Exclusion, and Hashihime would let them stall for three months, which might be enough time to get one of their bigger titles ready for release.

They seem to be padding out releases with smaller titles while waiting for the ''bigger ones'' to be release ready.

Damekoi has been scripting for a while, so they could be ready by the end of the year. For all we know, Suki Suki could have had its legal troubles fixed by then too. Both Lilycle and Steam Prison could also possibly release by the end of the year assuming no major scripting or beta issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if they prioritized Sengoku Rance. MG might consider Steam Prison a priority if they really want an otome release for this year. Bokuten happens to be a vague possibility, but I doubt it. It seems to be winter themed if nothing else.

MG's yuri stuff has done well on Steam in general, so I expect Lilycle will do well.

That's likely true, but it's also important to note that MG's initial marketing schtick in that regard kinda backfired (along with spoiling one of the biggest twists -- the fuck were you thinking MG?) and it initially sold horribly. It wasn't until months and months of word-of-mouth that it eventually started getting some notoriety going.

I think its true reason for being so successful is that it simply has wide appeal, in spite of all appearances. It's a really simple and humble story that's easily understood but impactful to a lot of people regardless. And the really great OST doesn't hurt, either.

Escalayer was not that surprising although I wonder if it was supposed to be at AX but got swapped out when they got the X go-ahead from AS.

Haretaka is great and I was hoping they would get to it before Chuablesoft collapsed, so it's nice to see that they are doing it now. Also, knowing SukiSuki is out of legal hell is fantastic too.

not that anon but the fact the groundwork is perfectly laid out for a harem ending and everything implies that it's a thing and then suddenly nope no harem ending is what makes it much worse than a typical moege or even PE.

If not MG then who, though? Should Fakku try its luck with visual novel studios and start translating nukige? I'm sure there is a lot of stuff they would be able to market just fine compared to MG. Problem is it is Fakku. On the flip side, because it IS Fakku it still means there is a lot of good potential to the bad -- like being able to get CG without mosiacs. Every other company out there that is translating smutge are more incompetent. Cherry Kiss Games have my heart out for them, but they're just a small boy team that translates Norn/Miel titles.

Cherry Kiss needs to kickstart some bigger nukige licenses. If they got 10k for some norn game, they can definitely do better. Quof mentioned that they were interested in the EroMahou license, so if people encourage them on stuff like that, we may see more interesting titles from them.

There isn't a compelling argument to why, other than the Wani takedowns. Which weren't even done by them. The problem is that by associating with them, people on chans and panda will now automatically hate you. I mean, I really fucking hate that all that older Wani content will never really be touched on too, but that is really Wani's fault at the end of the day. And Fakku's stuff can be ripped off the net, anyway. Maybe if they started going Denuvo tier with their shit then I'd probably shit on them more. The current status quo is fine, though.

Not only is the title expensive, but it's also not a very good title.

Quof's view on Farther than the Blue Sky.

>I gotta say, あの晴れわたる空より高く taking place on Magic Rocket Island at the Rocket School for Rocket Kids where every student is Big Into Rockets and joins Rocket Clubs and makes Rockets is pretty damn disappointing. I envisioned some crazy group of crazy rocket enthusiasts challenging the odds and accomplishing the impossible, but in truth it's like reality is literally bending around them to make it possible by altering the scenario into the maximally optimal situation for making a rocket... I dunno, there's just not a lot of excitement or daring in it for me anymore. I hope the scenario really emphasizes how hard rocket science is and whatnot to give it back that daring feeling. As of right now it just seems like the scenarists managed to make high schoolers building and subsequently launching a giant rocket seem boring and par for the course.

>I'm also not a big fan of how the game opens up with the end-game rocket launch, like c'mon you're gonna show me the finished rocket NOW instead of after hyping it up all game? How disappointing, well at least thats how it seems, this game has multiple routes/endings so they can't all end with a rocket which gives them opportunities to prove my pessimism wrong.
>I'm definitely dropping this game. It's kinda funny but the characters are pretty shallow, to quote an amazon reviewer

>That's definitely the feeling I get, the game is dripping with stale characterization and empty passion, well that's pretty much buzzwords that don't mean a lot so to put it concretely I'm not interested in the characters at all nor in their goal to make a rocket.

I presume they have plenty of data to back up their licensing decisions. More niche communities just tend to be more dedicated, I suppose, which makes them more reliable profit, and a smaller publisher like MG wants to make sure it has a good few sure bets going even if the maximum possible payoff isn't always as big.

I don't know how it is for the fujo side of things, but the Hella Yuri curator is a big assist for SFW yuri titles, ensuring that pretty much everything that goes up on Steam immediately hits a big chunk of its most dedicated audience, whereas straight male-oriented stuff is a bigger group, which means that audience can more easily pick and choose to suit their exact preferences and might just leave a particular game in the dust.

I think it is both. Niche and not niche.

Otome games would be selling terribly if they were all focused on abuse and rape and tentacles. Just imagine Euphoria with just guys eating poop and being fucked with strap ons and you might imagine a slightly smaller sales count.

Apart from that it is probably mostly the backlog syndrome. I have over 300 games in my backlog, my motivation to buy new ones are slim. Meanwhile many women are most likely not backlogged to hell, and will be buying those few titles they want when they are released.

Anonymous Sat Aug 11 06:17:17 2018 No.19631918

I don't see why people are mad about the Yuri and Otome/BL announcements, they are genres that are heavily misrepresented in MangaGamer's current catalog of games.
As of right now the only two Yuri games are Sono Hanabira and Okujou no Yurirei-san. The only Boys Love game is Hadaka Shitsuji. And Otome only has Bocchi Musume x Produce Keikaku and Ozmafia!!. A total of five titles (not counting the Sono Hanabira sequels as standalones) out of their whole release catalog, so of course they would want to expand it, especially if these games sold well, which in most of these games' cases they did.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 11 06:19:42 2018 No.19631937 >>19631918 I'd say it's just that they're all being announced in close succession and those voices are combining with people who aren't happy with anything. Not to mention that inevitably fujos are an ultra-minority here.

Probably because people want certain other genres. Like loli... that is barely sweet sweat and nothing more. Dickgirl doesn't exist outside of gangrape genre. I think cross-dressing has about 2 titles?

These are all things that also needs expending.

I do agree that they should release an actual lolige (not an Ammolite one) to test to see if there is a market, and I'm pretty sure there is one considering how hyped Maitetsu was and how much outrage there was when they fucked it up (although that could just be people who don't care for the game joining in to make fun of Sekai Project).

This year has been the year of BL/Otome and Yuri. More so Yuri this year than at any other time due to demand being heavy in Japan currently. There is demand for other games a bit.

>>19631948
>Probably because people want certain other genres.

This is true as well. Hypnosis (unfortunately not going to happen), Reverse Traps and Reverse NTR would be great.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 11 06:43:22 2018 No.19632056 >>19631990 To be fair I do like Maitetsu for how good it looked and also how it seemed to be much different than the rest. Especially with philsophy and train stuff. Anything with a decent plot or unique elements is interesting.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 11 06:45:06 2018 No.19632065 >>19632036 Oh well that sucks. But I can understand why. Nukige and Yuri could take that spot that can give better sales. Maybe someday.

It was only for the stuff they had already picked up that things were solved. Picking up new licences will be a lot harder especially if that ever company now owns them has had no previous business with the west. MG probably still has the highest chance though. They can say these were the terms of our other contracts and we would like something similar, but they might wait a bit to see how well Suki Suki does before they start negotiations. If Chuable titles are going to flop then it won't be worth it for them.

In the olden days, they probably were as bad as Sekai censorship wise, but nowadays, they at least go out of their way to release unofficial patches. Sekai's censorship has stopped for the most part too, but their censorship antics were way more recent including the still all ages Baldr Sky. Sekai's only issue isn't censorship anyways, so it's not shocking that some people are willing to tolerate JAST when funneling their hate towards Sekai.

they're also the only company that has a kind anonymous individual who unofficially posts restoration patches with really good photoshop edits to uncensor. They also don't fucking DMCA the restoration patches like some *cough frontwing cough* companies do. I most definitely don't agree with them censoring their products, but so long as this kind anonymous individual continues to properly restore the content I don't see an immediate issue. They used to be really bad yeah, but as of now they're the lesser of evils since you know that one way or another the content will be restored to the highest quality possible unlike MG/Sekai/Fakku who don't care if a product is censored or not. Or frontwing who threatens legal action against anyone who attempts to undo their censorship. We don't need to mention Nutaku, everybody knows Nutaku.
