It's all Moogy's fault. With his oldfag status, ownership of tlwiki and elitist sperg superpowers he could meme any game into a hyped kamige. Nowadays he doesn't even write about eroge because every game he praises gets trolled and his industry friends silenced him because they don't want him to betray people's expectations and affect sales again. He just resorts to tweeting yuri and vtubers now like a demented old man in a reitrement home.
Was acting like an elitist prick really worth it in the end, Moogy? You've turned yourself and the very things you love into a complete joke.

They 100% made their money back with the kickstarter alone, I really don't understand what SCA-Ji meant with that tweet. Did Frontwing promise him Nekopara tier sales? He should be thankful that it didn't end up like Light with Dies irae or that Libra of the Vampire Princess kickstarter.
I do wonder how much titles like Rance X will have to sell before they turn a profit, especially with Ludo now being the translator.
>>35240934
>I was going to buy it until I found out that frontwing censored it.
Frontwing is really strange when it comes to mosaics and censorship, they got caught lying that Grisaia doesn't have any mosaic free files when that PR guy gave MG mosaic free promotional CGs.
Sharin no Kuni will have mosaics because they don't want to anger Akabei Soft, yet OPPAI Academy was uncut.

I was thinking about buying it since JAST also removes bestiality in their official releases (only for "someone" to release it unofficially), but then they went out of their way to take down the fan patch.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35243392
Just cause they are desperate doesn't mean that the amount of them is any significant force. Didn't MG's BLges do very well too (or at least was well-received) but wasn't good enough for MG to prioritize them?

If BL actually made mad bucks, you would think MG wouldn't shelve their BL games to never ever land.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35246935
IIRC, No Thank You sold great, most of their other BL titles sold okay, and Hadaka was a flop. Otome and yuri are more consistent sellers because of Steam with the latter not doing too bad even with MG store only releases.

It was a passion project when Peter Payne was in charge. Now they got someone else looking after JAST USA and they're finally taking it a bit more seriously. It only took them a bit over 20 years. This seems to be the most productive year they've had.

Peter Payne, while still involved seems to be mostly hands-off now.

[Anonymous No.]

Announcing decade old titles seems like a passion project to me, you don't do that if you want to make money. To make money you need new modern moege with shiny art or gameplay stuff like Ninetail and Alice Soft.

>Alicesoft lost two members of their core staff in the last day (from quitting). Gyokai (main artist of the Rance remakes and Dohna Dohna, support artist for ~14 years), and Ittenchiroku (Director and designer for many of their games, including the Rance remakes and Dohna Dohna.)

Alas, this is just the inevitable fate of anybody in general who works in anything.

The newcomers will have some big shoes to fill though.

From the leaks and updates in /haniho/ threads in the past few months it seems like the company is being taken over by the new staff. In general we can bid farewell to old Alicesoft. Here are just some highlights:
Their DMM gacha game ranked 1st place for their 0.5 anniversary.
Alicesoft broke their streak by not announcing anything this year, usually they release at least 1 title per year. They did that for 30 years now, yet no teaser, preview or release date for 2021.
Standstill contacted the guy who made the Evenicle 1 video and said that he will most likely do one for Evenicle 2 once it gets released.
Dohna Dohna already sold more than Rance X and he hinted that they want to use the hype to bring it over to the west, would be funny if they make it all ages.

Zack is the Sadistic Blood translator and there were rumors about a remake of GSS.

A remake isn't really a classic any more though. He's talking about older games releasing how they were, not remade.

Didn't Peter Payne actually retranslate a VN because of how shit the translation he got back was? Pretty funny to think Peter was translating all the moans.

The staff were quick to jump in on Discord when someone mentioned Sadistic Blood didn't sell well. So they might have another Black Cyc title.

He's done it a few times apparently.
I believe he also translated one or both of the previous BL titles they licensed (Enzai and Absolute Obedience). They couldn't find translators for them so he stepped in.

Pretty much every company that was big 10 or so years ago has drastically changed or has ouright folded. The only bad thing I feel is that there is less experimenting going on now because every title needs to be a hit. Or just low budget so it doesn't hurt as much when it flops.

Kinkoi looks like quite a success on Steam, and with a peak of 506 concurrent users actually has the highest peak of any Visual Arts title on the platform (although some of their Key titles don't include Chinese, and nothing is going to have the legs that Clannad has had). Have to think that more non-Key Visual Arts titles will be brought over after this kind of success.
