NekoNyan announcements

[Anonymous No.]

ITT we discuss the titles that NekoNyan will be announcing this Thursday 30 and Friday 31.

Hints so far:
>Both are from new partners
>Neither are from Favorite (Chuee himself confirmed this)
>One is a plotge/chuunige and Steiner will be translating it.
>According to Tamaki Sakura (NN freelancer), the other isn't Aokana, so there goes that rumor.

There are rumors that the Nekonyan head is rich. When starting up a company, it's not unusual to have heavy losses as a way to build a foundation to growth and future profits. I don't think Aokana has enough appeal outside of the core VN fanbase to do that, but we'll see.

>>19772687
Coincidentally, that person used to work with Alicesoft. We'll probably never know, but it's interesting to imagine that connection was relevant for negotiations. She also happens to be the writer of Luckydog1, which almost definitely how MG got the license.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19772790

If that's true, it probably would have been better to license something like Eushully (Himegari or Amayui in particular).

She did assistant writing for one game and main writing for one game by a dead sister company. I doubt that it had any effects on negotiations.
That said, I'm still angry that MangaGamer will never license Yoru ga Kuru.

If they cared about money then JAST could probably have tempted them ages ago by channeling J-List money to them. They are just well known for thinking the west is full of pirates and so don't want to licence anything over here.

People were saying the exact same thing about Alice Soft five years ago. And, at this point, there's probably more people who've pirated Eushully titles than there ever would have been if they were officially translated.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773072
It took lots of negotiations, and for Haruka to sell lots, to convince them to open up for their good stuff. Same as it took JAST 4 years to negotiate for Majikoi.
I am just pointing out that throwing money at a company won't just instantly convince them to hand over a licence, especially if they are as wary of the west as Eushully. So it doesn't matter of they are rich or not.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773150
Wouldn't that make it also impossible for them to have licensed Daitoshokan like this anon said >>19770637, since August are also anti-gaijin.

>>19773174
Each company is anti-gaijin to different degrees (and some not at all). Eushully is the one that really went out about how much they think we are all dirty pirates.
>impossible
I never said anything was impossible. Just that some licences are unlikely. There isn't even a Steam boom to point to now to show how well most things would sell in the west any more to help ease away the fear of flops.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773023
Funny cause there are thousands of Japanese IPs pirating Eushully's new releases. Hasn't killed them. It would be nice if Mangagamer can show off those Alicesoft sales as a point of persuasion to prove that their titles have a good chance of having success regardless of any pirate action. Kamidori was basically the Sengoku Rance for them in terms of getting recognition. In fact it even has more votes on VNDB than it which is pretty insane considering the popularity of Rance. Eushully have a name in the west, and I think they're being stupid to not utilize that. But I'm preaching to the choir aren't I? Watch the first game they use to test waters be that pirate game lol. It would be almost poetic 'justifying' their wariness of the west.

>>19773174
It would be nice if there was a compiled 'proof' list of companies being anti-gaijin as grounds of not licensing their content.

At least in Alicesoft's case, it was more from the fallout of Daiteikoku and how China eroge players didn't like how it glorified Japan and portrayed China as idiots.

Also, Daiteikoku is terrible and I weep every time it appears on MG's list.

Not related to Nekonyan announcements at all (maybe?), but it looks like one of Quof's titles might get announced in within the next month, the way he described the company as one that "has released many absolute classics over the past five-ish years" makes me think it's an Orcsoft title since they did say they were interested in overseas localization and Quof is a big fan of their titles. But speculation as to what the title/company is aside, I can't figure out what localization company he's working on it for, since it's only Sekai Project who have a convention next month and they don't really license nukige.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773291
No, I don't care about its message or themes, I just think it's a shitty game.

They could have just decided to publish it themselves with no real fanfare. All they have to do is negotiate with someone like Nutaku and ask to put it on their store.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773340
That would make sense. The other option I was thinking of would be FAKKU, since they seem to be showing interest in getting into the localization scene, although I don't know if they have a panel at AWA like Sekai.

It would be funny if Quof's game was the Nekonyan announcement, but it could be Cherry Kiss Games for all we know.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773630
>but it could be Cherry Kiss Games
It would be very surprising to me. They currently only have licenses for Norn and Miel shovelware games. To move up to licensing games from a company that according to Quof has released "many absolute classics" would be very impressive. Although, Quof does have pretty shit taste so a classic to him could be just your average nukige.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773664
Remember, Quof has translated titles from Miel in the past.

That said, it's far more likely that it's Orcsoft. As for the licensor...it's probably either JAST or MangaGamer, since NekoNyan licenses almost exclusively moeshit and Sekai/Denpa never localizes nukige.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773664
I'm not exactly sure how well Cherry Kiss Game's titles have been doing, but upgrading from small to large nukige wouldn't be a stretch. They also happen to have experience with crowdfunding, if a nukige company wants to go that route.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773664
Not to mention "many absolute classics" could be said in jest. I hope not though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773731
The thing that makes me doubt it's Cherry Kiss Game's (if it's not a Miel/Norn license) is that their survey a month or two ago for what new titles they should pick up was exclusively Miel/Norn titles and didn't allow any choice outside of that, so I don't think they are quite ready to pick up higher costing licenses just yet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773736
He called Escalayer "a big deal for the world" which isn't completely wrong since the Escalayer OVA was one of the few H-OVAs that made it to the West back in the day, but it's fair to temper your expectations.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19773764
I believe Quof mentioned that that was said in a half joking manner and he didn't expect people to take it at face value. That's what prompted my suspicion of it possibly happening again. So yeah my expectations are more in check this time, and I can't imagine he'd want to juggle too many large scale projects at once (LxC2 and Escalayer), so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't something special.

Assuming it is Orcsoft, their VNs aren't exactly the longest, especially when compared to something like LxC2 or Escalayer.

I'm still surprised that they did. Like, how can you get more obviously hyperbolic "it will be a big deal for the world" when visual novels are as niche as they are? With that in mind, "many absolute classics" is definitely a very tongue in cheek statement.

Eh, there's practically 0 risk of MG not finishing Higurashi at this point. It's long overdue though.

MG sales of the Higurashi series have dropped with the newer episodes, but they should spike back up when episode 8 comes out. Or maybe people will wait until 11.

>>19774712
The localization was finished in 2011, MG is going back to fix it because the original translations were garbage.
Point is, Higurashi was finished, and the ending wasn't complete garbage, which is more than can be said for most episodic VN releases.

2018 Anime Boston's announcements were more noticeable than expected since MG announced both a sizable moege and a sizable all ages otome game, both which seemed more appropriate for Otakon. It might be the same for Anime NYC, but MG needs some small nukige to ensure that it can keep its at least monthly release schedule.

We know Conjurer's project is being announced there, so there could be a chuunige or plotge there to make up for the lack of those in the previous 2018 conventions. I personally think that there will be about 4 announcements: 2 small titles and 2 medium to large titles.

It's not coming from Hikari Field, they just announced a partnership with them to share licenses for different areas. The NekoNyan version will have an 18+ patch unlike the Hikari Field one.

>As some of you might know, Hello Lady has already been released by the Chinese localization company "Hikari Field." We were fortunate enough to get to know the people from Hikari Field and actually to meet up with them.

>Unlike certain other companies, to them, it's not about making a quick buck. In fact, they're coming from a very similar background as we do, having originally started out as a fan translation group, and are likewise a small team of people with a passion for visual novels. As such, it was never their intention to release subpar English translations, and they took the criticism they faced with their previous attempt of releasing one of their titles in English very seriously, reevaluating their plans of releasing titles in English.

>Having found that we both have the same passion for the medium and also follow the same philosophy, we decided to engage in a partnership for mutual benefit and release visuals novels together. In other words, we're going to handle the English localization while they're going to handle the Chinese localization. Other than the obvious benefits of getting our games out in one additional major language, this partnership also makes it easier for us to get new licenses; getting both a quality English and Chinese translation is very attractive to developers.

Looks like a mutual benefit decision to help them both get better licenses.

Don't forget that Moonstone tried branching out on their own a while back. If MG doesn't want Sakura Mori Dreamers because it's not a moege or a nukige, I wouldn't be surprised if Moonstone decided to license it to someone else.

That said, I think tomorrow's announcement is somewhat likely to be Aokana because of the rumor that Aokana was in talks with a Chinese company.

Even the mediocre title that was MML managed to stay in their chart for 1.5 months, I don't really see why MangaGamer wouldn't pick up any Moonstone title that isn't moege or nukige just because they are still selling quite well (same with Alicesoft).
ImoPara 2 will most likely be in their Top 3 most sold chart this year together with Evenicle.
That said the only reason I see that they won't pick up Sakura no Mori Dreamers would be because Hikari Field has the rights to it.

In addition to working on Love Sweets themselves, Moonstone was also in discussions with E2 Gaming for MML and Angel Ring, as E2 made pages for both titles (thankfully they fell apart and MG ended up getting MML).

I imagine that MG can get whatever Moonstone title they wish, but Moonstone wouldn't hesitate to license out their title to another company (that isn't garbage like E2) as they seem like they would like their catalogue translated quicker than MG is willing to work on their titles.

At least for Tayutama 2, we know Hikari Field has (or maybe had) the English rights to that title. I think that's the most likely to be the Friday announcement, but it could still be any number of things.

Their audience is primarily composed of Steamfags. They are the main reason why moege are much more viable than they were before the Steam boom.

Chuee implied on vndb that Hikari Field didn't have the English license to Sakura Mori Dreamers, but that might have just have been a hypothetical example. At the very least, it shows that just because Hikari Field has a license, that won't guarantee that Nekonyan has priority.

Now everything makes sense.

It lines up PERFECTLY with what I overheard about us getting outbid by a Chinese company.
With this partnership, if Hikari Field really got the license for Aokana then NekoNyan surely got the English rights.

But that's why it's so good, underage chuunifuag-kun. Moege are the ultimate form of visual novel for those with esteemed tastes.

Does it? They've got like two years worth of stuff backlogged and half a dozen that are at or completely finished TLed/edited already. I don't think they're scrambling to make their monthly release schedule unless they have a bottleneck somewhere in an area that licensing more stuff isn't gonna help. Heck, they're already releasing two "major" things in September if you consider Koropokkur one. (Size-wise maybe not, but it has quite a marketing push as MG's first release as a developer.) They wouldn't do that if they were scrambling for near-future monthly releases.

>>19780427
>I honestly don't remember seeing Imopara 2 being on the chart, at least not for an usually long amount of time beyond 3 months or so. I'm pretty sure it didn't have as long as a tail as Rance VI, but I might be misremembering.
Not as impressive as Rance's last-week-of-year release, Rance finished 4th in 2016 while Imopara 2 finished 7th for 2017, but Imopara is still exceptionally popular as evidenced by Imopara's 1 extremely long tail. Rance then outsold everything in 2017 except PEWH, so I fully expect Evenicle and Imopara 2 are #1 and #2 for 2018 unless MML sneaks in at #2 or MG drops Sengoku Rance by end of year.

>>19782703
>>19783205
I wish, then I might actually bother to read it as a filthy EOP myself. OC has all the good H content.

The English release bombed terribly because it was effectively not marketed at all, and it also had the unfortunate circumstance of being delayed to released one fucking day before PEWH when it was supposed to be done at the beginning of the month.

Agreed. I suspect Rance is easily going to be one of the best sellers and can easily be shilled over on Gaming sites and /v/ due to it having actual gameplay elements and it being unique in the RPG department.

>2018 Anime Boston's announcements were more noticeable than expected since MG announced both a sizable moege and a sizable all ages otome game, both which seemed more appropriate for Otakon. It might be the same for Anime NYC, but MG needs some small nukige to ensure that it can keep its at least monthly release schedule.
I think that may have been a rare time to get enough titles to cater to the Otome, Moege audience that has fallen in recent years despite fan demand. Only three things I can think of is Yuri, Slice Of Life Harem, and Plotge/Chuunige. Those would really sweeten everything and would add more variety especially on the Steam Library for casual fans that gravitate towards that stuff easily if it has good high end art to compliment. Also it would help as well seeing as it may take Steam sometime to get their filters going.

>We know Conjurer's project is being announced there, so there could be a chuunige or plotge there to make up for the lack of those in the previous 2018 conventions. I personally think that there will be about 4 announcements: 2 small titles and 2 medium to large titles.

Going off the hints, I would guess that the 2 large titles would be Sakura Mori Dreamers (or the Da Capo III fan disk) and a 3rd eye game. The small nukige will probably be more from the maker of Sweet Switch and Sweet Summer.

>>19784509
It seems to me that they are blowing that investment money early. If they can't keep up sales, they're fucked. Going for high profile titles early on is a good way to make a name for yourself, but it can also be a good way to burn out early as you bite off more than you can chew.

Moege might be decent enough money makers in general, so they might not need a huge money maker since they are largely focused on them, but I have my doubts as to whether they are as consistent sellers as large nukige or not.

It's just that chuunige have never really sold well in the West. At best, they maybe broke even. Relying on the fact that a particular title may resonate with Steamfags is a terrible business model, especially when that usually, said title has to be cheap to actually resonate.

As for Aokana, it's more likely to appeal outside of the typical VN fanbase, but I still have my doubts. Depending on what Nekonyan's deal with Hikari Field is, Chinese sales might be enough to compensate Nekonyan for likely overspending on this license. I just don't see much reason for it to be a runaway hit otherwise. As far as large moege that were runaway hits, there was Princess Evangile, but that was more of a fluke than anything else.

And unlike translation quality, the access to uncensored CGs actually has a small impact on sales, since some people refuse to buy VNs with mosaics. So I imagine they tried, or at least it makes sense for them to try.

With that hinting that either one or both will be from studios they have worked with, Making Lovers or some other Smee title seems like an obvious guess especially considering they have gone out of their way to get more Fureraba content.

Aside from that, if both are from existing companies, the best guesses would be either taking over a Lump of Sugar title from Hikari Field or Riddle Joker.

I don't know why everyone has the idea that Fureraba did so well, to me it looks like it did average, nothing special. I doubt Smee would give them such a recent title just like that.

Besides that they frequently talk about how surprised at how well it did and they are bringing over the Complete version which wasn't even part of the original release plan, you can look at the Steam charts and see that it did pretty above average for a moege. Last i checked, it was still getting active users even today

Also as >>19787492 said, that's only looking at Steam numbers and not Fakku, Nutaku and their own store numbers. Also I think Making Lovers is highly requested in their forum

The only title that seems almost certain to release by the end of the year is Amrilato. Others that might release by the end of the year are Damekoi, Suki Suki, and Bokuten, all which are a bit overdue at this point. Sengoku Rance is a doubtable unless they start beta this month

It seems like they are kind of doing what Sekai is and only focusing on their new licenses rather than working on their older ones.

Offering up preorders ahead of time for a title is a change for them (well, without using crowdfunding sites), but with most other companies doing so I wouldn't be surprised if they make it a regular occurrence going forward.

Most of their older unreleased licenses MG has have some reason for going slow (such as a slower translator or technical problems) that isn't going to suddenly change, while newer licenses in their fast pipelines will continue to speed along.

Yuri titles coming out fast might be because of the yuri hacker autist that is Donson. I don't know if he was involved with Tsui Yuri though. Outside of yuri, I don't see an abnormal focus on new licenses, just a few titles that are in tl hell or dev hell.

>MG has 17 titles that are at least 85% translated

Hopefully, most of these titles will be out by the end of next year. I get the feeling the reason why Nekonyan can approximate dates early on and be confident about the release dates is because they are paying way more for programming than other companies.

Then why do so many games sit in QA for months? Checkmate

[Anonymous No.]

>>19795827
Not him, but probably because they are using it as time to catch up when behind schedule. In some cases that isn't even enough like pic related.
The other reason why things can seem to sit in QA for months is because they need to space out releases.

I know how this shit works. I used to be a wageslave in a big IT company. The timelines we provided and the progress we reported was not actually true. This is done just to postpone the boss yelling at you and the boss' boss cutting your budget and firing half of your team. I was in several teams and it was the same shit everywhere.
Plan for a new project - Very generous timeline of 2 weeks for requirement gathering, 3 weeks for design, 4 weeks for build, 3 weeks of simultaneous QA and bug fixing.
Reality - It's supposed to enter QA, but the PM suddenly finds out the coding has barely even started. Even though everyone was reporting everything as all green every week. Goddamn monkeys.

I can't imagine this is very different. Employees are afraid to report the truth to their superiors, the superiors are afraid to report the truth to the upper mgmt, the upper mgmt is afraid to report the truth to the customers. And they'd rather push out a shitty product, as long as it somewhat works, than shift the timelines.
