People claim that they are consistently better than JAST and Sekai, not perfect. Other than regional pricing and the choice between honorific and non-honorific (something Sol Press has done for one game), MG is consistently better than other companies though JAST is about the same, slow release schedule aside.

While regional marketing makes sense from a market standpoint (different regions have a different ideal pricepoint for vidya or other goods to max out profit), I find the notion that poor regions deserve lower prices just because they are poorer entitled. Just go ahead and pirate the game if you can't afford it, don't demand lower prices if you want it only for certain people and not for others.

Has some good girls but the gameplay is mediocre as fuck. Still, the side characters are among the better casts they've made in awhile.

That being said it's hardly a kamige. I'd probably give it a 6 / 10 right now on the gameplay alone. Very few Eushully games are actually worth anyone's time though

[Anonymous No.]

>>20353490
Eushully hasn't improved in the past 5+ years or so. The last few titles have been a hybrid of past ones with questionable design choices.
This time it's Ikusa Megami Zero with shared health bar for some reason, because Eushully was too lazy to balance their game. With most monsters having some sort of AOE attack, they also give you 3 healers to ''balance'' it out. Another thing that I don't like or which I find straight up pointless and annoying is the slave system. You see your character is a slave and each time you leave a dungeon they take all the items you found in it, unless you have special container for HP potions, SP potions or seals with which you keep them. You also can buy back the items which they took from you, but I found it pointless and a waste of money. Just get some SR equipment and fuse all the trash items to it before you leave the dungeon and don't waste your money on seals.
Another annoying thing is the random enemy encounters. You see enemies are visible on the map where they patrol certain areas, but there are also out of nowhere random battles. Now add 1-3 random battles IN A ROW with 4-5 enemies for each battle and it will get annoying pretty fast, especially if just try to explore or run to the end of the map where they end up attacking you from behind, they get to attack first during the battle and they all have AOE attacks. Dying isn't really painful or anything, it's just annoying since the only punishment is paying 1000-1500 credits on average and you can continue the fight, unless it's a boss battle. It also may be one of the easiest Eushully titles that I played so far, due to the shared health bar.

In the end it's just another mediocre Eushully title, where they used most of the assets and ideas from their previous titles.

Looks like Quof's nukige (presumably an orcsoft one) was for MG after all, because Fakku didn't attend Anime NYC (pic related). This also means MangaGamer actually did plan to announce things at Anime NYC but didn't for some reason.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20361245
I think it's because they have 5 titles right now in beta testing, meaning that the next 5-6 months are already full. Announcing anything right now means that it won't be out for sure next year due to everything being filled with release ready titles, so the best option is to delay it and announce it in 2019.
The other theory could be that they don't have enough secured licenses for 2019, so the NYC announcements will be pad material for bigger conventions like Otakon and Anime Expo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20361321
>I think it's because they have 5 titles right now in beta testing
6 if you count Kindred Spirits: Full Chorus.

Also I don't know if it would have had an effect on anything but apparently the weather was really bad around that time and there were a lot of delays in getting there, so maybe there was stuff planned but they didn't have enough time to finalise them.

>>20361321
>>20361381
I doubt the weather is a huge factor since preparing for the announcement seems to mostly amount to making the website and uploading the video to youtube, but that's possible. I think that so many titles being in beta testing at once is probably the biggest factor. 6 titles leaves an almost full schedule until Anime Boston if they minimize the spacing of the releases (A title release every 2 weeks starting from January 3 would let them have 7 titles released by the time Anime Boston rolls around.). I think that it's unlikely for the release schedule to be that compressed since every title in beta right now is at least midsized, but they did release Hapymaher two weeks after Evenicle. However, if MG wanted to, they could just have monthly releases until AX with just the titles currently in beta.

Once those games release, there are even more titles that are likely to be queue to be in beta or possibly be ready to release by then: Amateratsu Riddle Star, Hashihime, The Expression Amrilato, Sengoku Rance, Farther than the Blue Sky, and chapters 7 and 8 of Higurashi. Maggot Baits, Funbag Fantasy 2, and Escalayer might even be 100% translated and edited at that point and be ready for beta soon after. In addition, Rance Quest scripting and beta will likely begin soon after Sengoku Rance releases. 10 releases is definitely a lot.

That only leaves the last 3 chapters of Higurashi Hou, Sona-nyl, Room No. 9, Luckydog 1, Fxxx me Royally, Rance IX, and Rance X. I would say only a Higurashi chapter or two and maybe Rance IX has a chance at releasing 2019. Any big titles announced during AX or Otakon 2019 are unlikely to be released in 2019 unless they were already being worked on a long time beforehand, and even then, they have a lot of competition for being on the release schedule.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>20362011
It is a mistranslation, because he is effectively the same person. He sent his feelings and memories, which merged with the existing soul and molded it into the same soul he had before restart. Nene did the exact same thing, except on a much larger timescale. The original body has nothing except for feelings of deja vu from the parts which are missing (which were overwritten by different events by the magic).

This is very different if you compared this to for example Chrono Clock, where all the routes exist simultaneously. MC gets the memories from the other routes, but they feel like someone else's memories since they don't have feelings connected to them. While the 4 girls get both the memories and their feelings from some point during their individual routes (before H-scenes in all cases), the original still exists and keeps progressing regardless of this. So it's a copy, rather than SB's soul transfer.

Might be what is going on. It seems like MG is getting ready to release everything and their backlog and then focus on Rance, another Clockup title, and a few titles from Alicesofts library. I would not even be surprised if we get another Evenicle announcement and a few unique partnerships. Maybe even possibly a good Kickstarter to support with the feedback given. MG can focus on better selling titles and moege now without having to rely on some of the cheap stuff as they use to.

>MG can focus on better selling titles and moege
By moege you mean Moonstone right? Because I can't remember anything in the last 2 years or so that sold well or got a hardcopy that isn't a Moonstone title. Even Da Capo 3 didn't get a physical release or even one of the fandiscs.
I would love for the to get some Yuzusoft title, maybe Amairo ＊ Islenauts, just to see the cluster fuck of having 3 different localization companies all handle each release on their own and compare them with each other.
Also, hopefully the Orcsoft rumors are true and they got the license, I'll buy any mosaic free title from them just so we can finally get rid of that Ammolite trash and replace it will 1-2 Orcsoft/Dwarfsoft titles per year.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20366348
Suki Suki is probably selling solidly, (I myself was pushed over the edge to buy it because of Chiho) though that does somewhat depend on how long after release it stays on the chart. It's a bit hard to interpret the chart nowadays because of Kagura titles flooding the top 5 though, and even if it does sell well, a hardcopy isn't guaranteed because they have to negotiate with the new company that owns the rights, whoever they may be. Same goes for any future Chuablesoft titles, not that any of them are notable except for niche fan bases (Sweet Robin Girl has a loli focus while Noblesse of Rouge has a trap protagoinist).

Yuzusoft would be funny, but I doubt any Japanese company would be that haphazard with its licenses. There's Visual Arts, but that just seems like the Japanese hiring other companies to translate their titles rather than Visual Arts actually making a localization deal with third party localizers.

Hopefully, said Orcsoft title is mosaic free. It should be though, especially if it's that Shigeo title. Any other titles from them might not be mosaic free for one reason or another, but hopefully they didn't lose the uncensored assets like what probably happened with Ammolite titles.

I'm kind of expecting 2019 to be a slow announcement year for MG as they focus on clearing out their backlog. Ideally, they should speed up releases, so they can have a decent amount of 2019 and be able to release most of them by 2020 (along with the rest of their backlog), but I doubt MG has the resources to do that.

I've been saying since that VNpocalypse thing that even if they started allowing more content, Steam is NOT a worthwhile long-term release store to release titles exclusively on solely for the reason that they can fuck you over at any time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20366918
Most VN publishers nowadays seem to try to release on multiple third party stores when possible. Sekai tried to release with Fakku, but I suspect that they burned that bridge with Maitetsu. I don't really consider their Denpasoft store to be a viable storefront. On the other hand, MG's store is definitely viable while JAST's store probably is to some extent. Speaking of MG and JAST, both companies were willing to give titles to Nutaku and Fakku, and the same may go for Sol Press's store when it reveals itself. Frontwing has released its newest titles on JAST (despite Grisaia being stuck on the Denpasoft store), and Nekonyan has been releasing in multiple places for a while. I think Visual Arts is stuck on Steam, but I don't think any of their titles are ecchi enough to be at risk (at least for now).

I think Visual Art's has too much money to care about anything else besides Key titles for now. They could have gone like WillPlus and give almost all localization companies a few titles here and there, risk free too.

He's talking about non-Moonstone moege. Come to think of it, none of those titles got a hardcopy so far. I'd be surprised if Evenicle didn't get one, but MML might not have sold quite well enough to justify one. The Fata Morgana fan disc and Funbag Fantasy Gaiden might not get one either by virtue of being side titles, sort of in the case of the latter.

Honestly even moving 1000 units would be - all things considered - selling well on a title like that. It has no voice acting and isn't from a big name company. I imagine it didn't cost much to license, especially when they probably did so before the original FM exploded in sales.

Sounds like Sweet Pool is doing well on the Jastblue discord.

On preorders alone they've apparently nearly sold out of the limited edition and premium editions. The limited edition has a print run of 1000 while the premium is significantly less (I would assume about 200).

>>20368636
While all the Nitro Plus Chiral titles seem to be notable for BL fans, I'm pretty sure that Sweet Pool isn't quite as famous as Toganu no Chi or Dramatical Murder (based on my limited knowledge of the BL fanbase). All of the recently acquired BL titles seem to be guaranteed to be hits for JAST. I'm a bit curious as to how easy or hard it was for them to get Sweet Pool on Steam.

Meanwhile on the MG side of things, Hashihime, Room No 9, and Luckydog1 especially seem to be stuck in dev hell for one reason or another (though the first one should be far enough along to release sometime in 2019). MG still seems to be the only real option for the otome side of things, unless you count console devs like Aksys or Idea Factory International. Sekai's attempt was dead on arrival. Things may change, but otome seems significantly more niche than BL especially when 18+ titles are involved. That provides less incentive for localizers to try their hand in that market. At the very least, it's probably way too soon for Sol Press or Nekonyan to try diversifying their catalog drastically by including either BL or Otome. I could see Frontwing trying it as an experiment though.

As for yuri, that seems to be a genre EVN devs seem to be more willing to jump into than Japan. Even if a 3rd party localizer tried to license yuri VNs from Japan, there simply aren't a lot of titles to actually license. Other than MG, who is the biggest localizer of yuri VNs, Sekai is the only one who dabbles in it, and I don't see that changing. In theory though, slapping a yuri title onto either Nekonyan's or Sol Press's catalog would be less jarring than a BL or an otome title since the demographics are less different from their current target audience.

Its Nitro+Chiral's least famous title but generally considered their best. The problem is the content isn't widely appealing to fujos (Gen Urobuchi was involved so its heavy on horror and squick). The atmosphere and soundtrack are A+ though.

>Luckydog1
The translator for this is just super slow. According to her blog she completed her PHD a year ago. Translating is her stress reliever. She started translating Luckydog1 back in 2011. The same year Jast licensed Sumaga. Mangagamer just waited until she started the last route to license it.

The annoying part is that the Japanese company announced an updated re-release about 2 years ago, to release just after Christmas 2018. It'll have new routes and extensions for the previous routes. Mangagamer should have waited for the new version (it'll have all the content she's been translating plus more).

>At the very least, it's probably way too soon for Sol Press or Nekonyan to try diversifying their catalog drastically by including either BL or Otome. I could see Frontwing trying it as an experiment though.
I believe Visual Arts might be looking to experiment. They included Gakuen Heaven and Kichiku Megane in their last licensing survey.

Bara is one they haven't really tried (unless you count No, Thank You from Mangagamer). The weird thing is that many of the Bara companies (Mousou Wakusei, HanRanGen, etc) have openly expressed an interest in a western release on twitter but no companies have apparently taken an interest. Moritake (from Mousou Wakusei) is now commissioning translations of his titles since he couldn't find a western partner.

It is somewhat amusing that moege are losing traction on Steam despite selling well there in recent memory while ero gameplay titles are gaining traction. For the Steam version, it might be a decent idea to slap on university or college every time they mention school or academy in the VN. That depends on how half-assed Steam is about the whole idea, but I'm willing to bet that Steam is that half-assed.

Pretty much.
It's not something they could heavily merchandise. The game also contains no light and fluffy endings. Every ending is either a bad ending or the true ending (which is still considered a bad ending by most).

In terms of classifying it, I'd consider it a horror VN with BL elements, instead of a BL VN with horror elements.

I think it depends on 2 major factors on what MangaGamer puts on steam:
1. How fast the license contract can be updated to allow them to put the visual novel on steam. Most of their titles are for MangaGamer's store only.
2. How fast steam approves the title. According to Vodoka, Evenicle was approved 4 days before the actual steam release, so even if everything is ready to release it on steam, some random steam employee can still fuck up everything during the approval process.

In the first image he drops a line about how Aozaki is avoided/feared by the teachers as much as she is relied upon by them, which is shitty but I don't really care.
Then the teacher makes his statement that is more or less the same the translation, however, at the end of his sentence he clearly says in simple hiragana "だからじゃないよ" which means "not because of what I just said"
so what he's really saying is that it's NOT because she's a hardcore student council president.
Translator somehow completely misses simple hiragana and reverses the meaning of the sentence making it even more Positive when it should be negative.
Could honestly be written off as working on the script while half asleep or something if you're generous. But he should have instantly realized his fuckup by Aozaki's response which is something like "I really can't think of another reason I'd be standing here right now though."
That sentence would make no sense in his translation, because it plays of the "だからじゃないよ" from the last sentence. So he just rewrites it into something that fits and we are left with two mistranslated sentences.
I'm pretty sure he didn't even rewrite it on purpose, his actual knowledge in japanese is probably pretty low and he saw the "それ以外"
which can be read as "other than" as an indication/confirmation that the first sentence didn't end with a negative.

The english guy taking the time to put his TL into a patch and release it to the public when he can't even get his fucking TL right and has to be 100% aware of it is everything that's wrong with the translation community.

He doesn't have any favorites as he is incapable of loving anything. His "hobbies" are just the things he attaches to so he can complain about them and feel superior.

To be fair, there's the fact that various countries have varying ages of consent. But yeah, most eroge have teenagers screwing regardless of setting, especially mainstream ones, if only because high school settings are mainstream. You'd have to look into niche titles to see titles that only have clear 18+ sex like Funbag Fantasy.

That means zero. Age of consent are unrelated to pornography. In pornography it is always 18, because you have to be considered an adult and able to enter contracts.

Which is ridiculous to ask from cartoons, but I'm not the one writing the laws to include cartoons.

People like herkz make me happy to be alive, honestly. Pretty much every post he makes is a great reminder that no matter how bad things get, at least I'm not herkz.
