While I have to admit the speed makes me worry about the quality, Kusarihime is 718kb. It's not quite a senmono (1890kb) plus even more shit situation. I know the translator, and he definitely knows Japanese (and Bee at akatsuki wouldn't work with him if he didn't).

[Anonymous No.]

Actually, after doing the math this is something like 130 lines per day, since the project was announced with TL half completed. That's pretty doable. No longer that worried about the speed, honestly.

>>41832493
My guess that it's on Alicesoft's end. It coincides with the physical versions of Evenicle and Escalayer being approved by Alicesoft, so they probably renegotiated the contract with MG to let them release those 3 particular titles to other stores. I can see Alicesoft doing something similar once the contract with Johren has to be renegotiated for Dohna Dohna

[Anonymous No.]

>>41832493
https://twitter.com/Alicesoft_en/status/1594526314002014208
It's definitely on Alicesoft's end. Those games are also releasing on Fakku, GOG, and Kaguragames

>I wonder if it's because Dohna Dohna bombed that horribly.
If Johren would require adding mosaics back in, it also wouldn't be as trivial as adding the titles to those other storefronts that won't require modification.

[Anonymous No.]

>>41832580
>>41832602
Alicesoft will have a very good idea about which platforms they can get sales on after releasing Evenicle 2 as an "all platforms besides Steam" type approach (as well as Oku-sama no Kaifuku Jutsu). Aside from MG, Evenicle 2 has been released on GOG, DLSite, Fakku, Jast, Johren, Kagura Games, and Nutaku, and it seems of those this new push seems to be dropping DLSite, Johren, and Nutaku.

[Anonymous No.]

>>41832580
>>41832602
AS just wants more control over its titles now that they are self publishing. Because Steam didn't work and Johren wasn't a viable alternative they want to spread their titles on all available stores like they did with Evenicle 2. I wonder if this means they might announce something else soon.

>I wonder if it's because Dohna Dohna bombed that horribly.
I doubt Alicesoft would care if Dohna Dohna bombed since Shiravune pay a big lump sum for their licences but get 100% of royalties. So whether or not DD sold 10 copies or 10,000 copies Alicesoft got the same amount of money.

They could certainly still submit titles to Steam and hope for the best as plenty of companies have gotten more bans than them and the Evenicle 2 demo is still on Steam, but after the Evenicle 2 ban they don't seem to be expecting their releases to get onto the platform. Oku-sama no Kaifuku Jutsu in particular probably could have been put onto Steam, but it doesn't seem like Alicesoft ever submitted a build.

Sad to see, but on the bright side it should make their licenses dirt cheap if any publishers want to attempt to localize them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>41846280
They'll probably have to do it before whenever they close down, but that's probably true. That said, simply grabbing every license Baldr has is a bad idea because I doubt all of them will break even (can't see anyone being hype for the Jinki series for example) but I can see Sekai doing just that like they did for feng.

[Anonymous No.]

>>41846571
Yeah Baldr/Giga's problem was always that the games require more effort to translate than they're worth with all the gameplay elements. But yeah, I could see Sekai just scooping them all up and sitting on them as long-term projects

[Anonymous No.]

>>41842311
>>41842377
I wouldn't read too much in the Steam build of GSS getting through approvals (or Sekai seemingly not running into any problems with their set of recent releases) when the biggest issue with the review process has been inconsistently applied guidelines. Though if the reviewers have gotten more lenient (or more consistent) after Chaos;Head, it would likely be limited to all ages builds rather than the type of R18 builds Alicesoft has seen rejected. At the very least, it isn't a free for all right now as some DLSite releases have gotten rejected since Chaos;Head was put back onto the platform.

No other company in the VN industry ever produced anything even remotely as good and culturally impactful as Tsukihime and Fate. Hell, they didn't even reach the status of Mahoyo. That's because Type-Moon is literally the only company who actually cared about telling a compelling story and creating interesting worlds. All other VNs are self-insert dating sims for boomers. Almost none of those other companies ever attempted to do something more with the medium like TM did.

You can seethe all you want but it won't change reality.

Ironic. This medium is dead and irrelevant because it caters to mentally stunted boomers like who only read dating sim self-insert garbage because they've never had a life.

Meanwhile TsukiR outsold every VN in the last decade and Fate as a franchise is making literally billions of dollars.

Type-Moon made stories. The rest of the VN industry made self-insert fantasies for subhumans. This is why the VN industry is dead while TM continues to break sales records. Don't ever forget that.
