For Sideboob Story it was pretty obvious that it wasn't going to be a huge hit since it's already been available for a year and is a sequel to the previous game so only people who bought the original on steam will purchase the sequel. Any extra sales are okay with me.

you'd be right if it wasn't their very first title of that entire genre. If MG started releasing Hentai animation and promised the very first one they planned on releasing would be uncensored without any cuts and then release it but half the content is cut out and there's various forms of censorship in it you can't plead ignorance to that.

AFAIK he went to Japan just to meet the developer of the series. He also did some pretty neat stuff like manually photoshopping a textbox for the Maidens of Michael youtube theater clips so that people who watch them don't just read them with plain subtitles.

I doubt that. I may have put that in, but I don't actually see that many people really wanting Clochette titles.

Yuri, moege, and gameplay barely count as hints unless that implies that BL and otome will be ignored this year. Still, there'll probably be more moege announced than last year though I doubt MG will announce more yuri and gameplay titles than they did last year (4 yuri titles including Kindred Spirits and 3 gameplay titles including Escalayer). Cat is a pretty bizarre hint; it could mean anything from catgirl VNs to something that panders to cat ladies.

>>21099421
The otomefags are better coordinated than the moefags, and there's more consensus on which otomege are worth it than which moege are worth it.The other companies focusing a lot on moege releases as well doesn't help matters since moege people would have asked for otherwise might have already been licensed by either Nekonyan or Sol Press. It's also possible that there is a lot of overlap between gameplayfags and moefags, so Evenicle 2 ate up a lot of votes.

>>21099441
/vn/ is not everyone. Remember when you guys tried to get Onikiss on the survey?

Otoboku 3 seems mostly standalone, so it doesn't seem necessary to release it before 2. Though obviously, I'm sure Otoboku fans would rather have both 2 and 3 as opposed to just 3.

Thanks for showing me that. I didn't realize there were so few women on Twitter. That said, I still think that a bigger portion of the female fanbase resides on Twitter, whereas male fans are more likely to not use Twitter, comparatively. Women being far more homogeneous in their voting habits is pretty obvious, which does explain why the list looks this way. However, you can't prove that titles that were gang-voted on haven't been removed from the list. Haro did say in the past that she removes votes if it's the same person as another vote. That could be used as a pretext to remove enough legitimate votes so that something doesn't end up on the list.

I hate to say this, but just because people vote in the survey doesn't mean they'll actually buy titles when they actually come out. Princess Evangile was a hit, but I haven't heard about any huge moege successes after that.

Meanwhile, gameplay titles require alot more testing and programming resources, and they might have trouble making new partnerships and it could just be taking time to. And they probably think it's just easier and safer just to mostly focus on Alicesoft gameplay titles for now.

2018 releases from MG, omitting all 3rd party titles

- Sorcery Jokers - mediocre chuunige
- The Spirit Master of Retarnia -Conqueror of the Labyrinth- - mediocre gameplay title
- A Kiss For The Petals - Maidens of Michael - yuri title where you'll be lost on the side couples if you haven't read the fan TLed titles
- Funbag Fantasy: Sideboob Story - good follow up to the original but name makes people think it's a sidestory
- Supipara - Alice the magical conductor. Chapter #02 - mediocre, incomplete, episodic, developer quit developing any more titles
- Magical Marriage Lunatics - mediocre moege that doesn't have a harem route despite seemingly setting up for one
- The House in Fata Morgana - A Requiem for Innocence - follow up to the original that has several sidestories on top of the main one, ruined some of the Morgana's backstory by adding new characters to it
- Kuroinu Ch.3 - finale to the trilogy, but the split version is apparently worse than the full version, but it was the split version that was licensed likely due to cost
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi - new installment in the popular series, but at the rate MG is releasing it I'm not going to pick it up until Ch. 8 is released
- Evenicle - legitimately good gameplay title from Alicesoft
- Hapymaher - I read part of it but thought that certain scenes and dialogues just dragged on, making it feel very padded out
- Sweet Switch - super short nukige
- Sisterly Bliss ~Don't Let Mom Find Out~ - short yuri title that's only main attraction is the yandere endings
- Koropokkur in Love ~A Little Fairy’s Tale~ - MG's mediocre attempt at making their own title, super generic all ages
- Bitter Exclusion - super short nukige
- If You Love Me, Then Say So! - decent quality moege that's main draw is the gimmick of the girls being able to reject the MC based on your choices

The original Japanese title was Gaiden, which can be translated into sidestory, it's not MG's fault that it was already named like a fandisc by the original devs.

MG seems to have submitted Rance VI+5D to Steam, only to see it fail to get approval. It isn't too surprising to see it get rejected after the controversy over Rape Day last month. I doubt Valve would have been interesting in stirring that hornet's nest again by bringing onboard a franchise that is infamous for having Rance as a protagonist, regardless of what censoring MG was willing to do. Sengoku Rance is a strong enough game that MG could probably make an all ages version with or without an R18 patch if they wished to, but the franchise's notoriety would probably still give it a good shot of getting struck down regardless.


That said though, it is quite a bit of potential revenue that MG will end up missing out on, especially if Sengoku ends up seeing the same fate. While Rance VI+5D likely would have likely done relatively well, the upcoming Sengoku Rance would have likely dwarfed most of MG's Steam releases by a considerable margin, considering how well the title is known from Takajun's fanTL release.

They will then talk about what was wrong and what they need to do to get the game on Steam and it will be on there within 4 months. It's a long drawn out process but worth it in the long run.
>MG could probably make an all ages version with or without an R18 patch if they wished to, but the franchise's notoriety would probably still give it a good shot of getting struck down regardless.
It's highly possible that a R18 patch would work only because it would prevent Steam from receiving anything negative.

I am so confused by Steam. There are tons of eroge there already, and among those that are there you'll find both tame and extreme content.
And then you have tame as fuck eroge being banned from the store and other extreme games banned or allowed. Do they toss coins or something? How are these decisions made?

It's even weirder with something like Rance considering it'd actually make more money than most other games, if the monetary gain matters to Valve.

The problem with Rance is most likely it's famous for having a rapist protagonist. Rance's character isn't something they can edit out.

They've been rejecting random VNs with school settings, so that could be an automatic rejection. The other is just characters they deem look too young, but might get away with if they're said to be a 1,000 year old vampire loli in the VN.
