Huge kudos to Alka. If it wasn't for them pushing the release date of their TL patch so hard, the official release would probably take much, much longer. Gg, guys; thanks for the effort.

And I expect the very same to happen with AB! - once their patch gets close to release, Visual Arts will do everything to push out their release on Steam before the TL patch comes out.

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck Steam.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22953942
That's how I feel about it as well. I'm sure Visual Arts felt very pressured by the success of the fan TL. Alka did a great job. I'm really enjoying Summer Pockets, too. Shiroha's route was unusual but very cool in the way it didn't let any scene be unimportant. Currently on Tsumugi's route and it has that great classic Key vibe. I'm hoping AB gets released sooner rather than later. And then maybe Rewrite Harvest Festa will finally come out so I can have my happy ending to Kotori's route that I've waited so long for...

>>Marco to Ginga Ryuu - Demo out, February 28th release
I totally missed that the demo was out. Localised honorifics are a nuisance but it doesn't seem that bad otherwise. What threw me for a loop more than anything else though was that one of the songs in it has the same melody as one of the songs in Strange Journey. I guess they're both based on some classical piece?

[Anonymous No.]

>>22954119
The game seems pretty fun, I played a bit of the demo and was very surprised at the amount of effort the creators have put in. The animation parts seem a little out of place though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22953994
My only issue is that I actually think Alka's translation way just plain better. Comparing the two, side by side, it's so obvious that they cared for the vn and wanted to give it their very best. Visual Arts' translation - while good - lacks this elusive style of fan translation. You can kind of tell that there's no love behind it, but money in and of itself. It would be great if they released their patch as well (Steam-only compatible), so that with both versions out people could compare and choose their preferred script. A bit of a shame it's not going to happen for obvious reasons.

Still though, a terrific job on Alka's part. If anyone from their team lurks around in this thread: a genuine thank you from me.

Looks like a new peak for Venus Blood Frontier. At this point, it seems retarded to not try to get (gameplay) eroge on Steam with any means necessary along with a chink translation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22954119
Huh, for some reason I had not heard of this one yet. I take it it was designed in part with western audiences in mind -- I noticed a reference to The Shining in one of the videos, and there's the obvious western cartoon style. Does anyone know how long the full game is or who the writer is? VNDB doesn't say.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22954964
It's not out yet so who knows but it's slightly cheaper than the average so it might not be that long. And the staff is all the same as noratoto, good humor but I wouldn't expect too much from the writing.

The shining is a huge meme in Japan, anon. Also the western cartoon styled stuff barely takes up any of the game, I think there was two of them in the trial and they were like 2-3 minutes long.
Like the other anon said it's the same people from Noratoto, and the trial is around 2.5 hours.

Shame about MG and Navel, they have quite a few titles with a cross dressing protagonist which seem interesting. I remember reading Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling for Me back in the days and enjoying it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22961258
Regardless of how the rights are reverting back to aNCHOR, the motivation is that the developer likely decided they no longer need a middle man and are directly targeting the Western market themselves, especially with the projects they announced at that 20th anniversary broadcast in the pipeline. They have been doing English PR and recently put out that survey to get a feel for which Age titles they should proceed with localizing.

I find it really weird how there is not a whole lot of trap VN's despite the outcry for them. Then again it could be a limited genre like it is for Hypnosis.
>>22961185
I am going to guess it is due to how bad of a middle man Sekai is. They seem to lose a lot of huge publishers and get a lot of negative comments when it comes to adult patch's, and getting any set goals when it comes to releases. Not trying to say they do everything wrong but not having a clear goal or plan really hurts them and especially so when they have so many titles licensed really harms them overall.
>>22959576

Most likely, the contract with Sekai ran out and they decided to not continue working with them anymore. It's like with Yuzusoft and the titles they used to have with Sekai. Navel tried to do something similar when they left MG, but that was a disaster.

Probably few factors
1. Only a not official 18+ patch
2. $50 instead of $40
3. Medieval Fantasy genre eroge might be more popular than Sci-Fi eroge by default.
4. SRPGs might be more popular than ARPGs
5. There's more 18+ content in VBF, and more fetishes pandered to as well. Or maybe Steam just likes rape porn games; Kagura Game titles seem popular enough as well.

China is a risky business... while it's been pretty lucrative for a while, it wouldn't be surprising at all to see the government step in and have the rug come out from under the whole thing and get a lot of people burned in the process.

I'd say a lot of grind. Everything but the last chapter is the same for both routes.

I managed to finish it twice anyways since it felt like I'd only just started understanding the gameplay and unlocking higher tier chars by the end of my first playthrough. Upping the difficulty also made things at least different to some extent despite skipping a lot of story the second time through but I still need to do a third for an ending I missed which I don't really feel like doing yet.

They wouldn't buy it either way. If a free option exists, some people will take it. I tend to pirate to buy, especially with VNs, but not all people do. With that said, I wish Alka had left up the trial patch at least because it could help some people who are on the fence decide.

A success for Hikari Field at least. We'll have to wait for EU/American hours to see how it does for Nekonyan.

Valve is strict with eroge but fine with normal console games, what do you think is a contradiction here?

If Sanoba Witch is any indication, it should do fine with the Western market. NekoNyan to date really hasn't had any titles that did badly in the West aside from Hello Goodbye which did horribly everywhere.

I wonder if Sol Press and Mangagamer will start doing Chinese translations for all their new releases now after seeing this and Venus Blood.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22986748
no point, there's going to be a chinese only steam client soon which will have to abide by chinese law.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22986734
Odds are that it should hit 1000 concurrent users either today or tomorrow.

>>22986833
MG doing some big Chinese translation project for the majority of their Steam releases which ends up taking an extensive amount of time and failing to finish before the Chinese Steam window closes would be a very MG type move to make.

They would firstly need to license something good instead of no name crap and 20 years old moege.

Pretty sure if they managed to get Rance on there with a Chinese translation it would sell like hot cakes.

[Anonymous No.]

If they could get Rance onto Steam in English it would sell like hot cakes considering what Evenicle managed.

I wonder how does Dovac and Co feel for losing such a big developer under their nose just because their are so incompetent.
I just hope that Silky's Plus jumps ship to a better publisher too since I enjoyed Nanairo.

5D and VI were rejected. If MangaGamer was smart or jewish enough they could cut everything except the main menu and make a restoration patch similar to SubaHibi.
All they would lose is 100$ steam fee and maybe a few days of SLC's time.

I will never understand this argument. The only thing that Evenicle and Rance have in common is the company that made it. That's all. Evenicle is a modern full voiced game with modern art drawn by famous artist while Rance is old as fuck 4:3 unvoiced shit with aciend art. Surely, it wold sold more than 2k on Steam but you are beyond delusion if you stink I would make anywhere near Evenicle numbers.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22989520
Rance is much more popular in the west than Evenicle.

[Anonymous No.]

That's why it sold like shit according to Aru? Even without steam Evenicle charted as a top seller on MG site for much longer that SR.

All Aru did was show that the figures for what is considered "good" (as in constantly at the top of the top 10 for multiple months) sales wise on the MG store aren't as high as people would expect making it hard to really figure out how much stuff actually is selling. You could probably jump up the sales list by selling a dozen copies of something.
The old sales graphs using the order numbers posted here were more useful at getting a rough idea on how much sales were spiking for each release.

Senren Banka just passed 900 concurrent users putting it ahead of Date A Live's 890 concurrent record from last year for paid VNs.

Not including free VNs, the only 3 I found with higher 24 hour peaks are:
Nekopara 0: 960 peak
Nekopara 2: 1,228 peak
Nekopara 3: 2,571 peak

[Anonymous No.]

>>22992381
I wonder if it's so much higher than usual due to the quarantine locking so many Chinese people indoors. Might explain why Venus Blood was also even more explosive than usual.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22992523
You know, that's probably a factor. I can see it being a non trivial contribution to the really high concurrent user peaks.

Up to 495 total reviews and 18 English reviews on Senren. Obviously the Chinese reviews will continue to be the overwhelming majority, but with time it should pick up a respectable amount of English reviews like the other Nekonyan titles have done.

Between this and Aokana's success, there aren't going to be many PC titles out of reach for NekoNyan/Hikari Field if they are looking to license some more titles.

All great, but they're not really on the same level as Sprite, Yuzusoft or Saga Planets. Although I guess Smee/Hooksoft and AsaPro aren't either and their games still sold well great.
