You know, as much as I am looking forward to a new Edelweiss translation, I just don't see how the time spent on it is justified, considering that it is doubtful that it will lead to a significant increase in sales

>Currently, yes, I am still working on Edelweiss. Mizuki’s arc is finished and I’m nearly done with Ran’s arc now too. I’m sure a lot of you guys can’t wait to see the results of all this hard work going into it, and we’re aiming to give you a little sneak peak in the next month or two by releasing a demo version of Edelweiss. The demo will have the new translation in it, so for all of you thinking about picking up the game or looking forward to the patch, I hope you enjoy your titillating sample. (And for those who keep asking about DEARDROPS, that’s next in line for me once Edelweiss is done, so I should start next month.)

>Editing is also proceeding smoothly on ef: the latter tale, along with the Edelweiss patch which is approaching its final stage after no less than nine months of work.

Edelweiss?
Wasn't it translated years ago?

Place bets now on which title they'll release.

I feel kind of bad for not supporting mangagamer. They're retranslating their fuckups, they left loli in their titles, they're generally alright about prices aside from that higurashi bullshit...

Oh well.

>> No.6725079

>About half of our testers for Koihime Musou are dragging their feet behind schedule. Something about finals being more important than the conquest of Chinese Generals? Hopefully this won’t affect launch schedule, but if it does, there will be more notice later.


God damn it.

>And for those who keep asking about DEARDROPS, that’s next in line for me once Edelweiss is done, so I should start next month.

Fuck yes

>With luck, translation of our MangaGamer exclusive game should begin next month as well, and I can’t wait to share more about it!

They really are going through with this?

>Well, as I said in the beginning, the Season of Da Capo isn’t over yet and we’ve got a special promotional offer for Koihime as well as more great announcements to come in the next few months!

More Da Capo incoming


>We’ve had a couple other projects going on behind the scenes that we can’t talk about yet, but we can say that one of the best games we’ve ever worked on is well through the pipeline.

Hoping this means the IG deal went through.

>The translations for ef ~the first tale~ and latter tale are both finished now. A lot of improvements seem to have been made to the scripts, so I hope everyone’s looking forward to giving it a go!

Hopefully this is well recognized enough that it does well for them, even if the fan translation was released a while ago.

>> No.6725083

I feel bad for not supporting them as well. Too bad I don't have credit card, only paypal.

I have a hard time getting enthused about Mangagamer. First off their prices for download only games (WITH DRM INSTALLED!!!) is retarded. Secondly they don't sell hardcopy disks. Now I know they need to be making a profit to even begin to try their hand at hardcopy but still, I'm not gonna pay around 80 bucks for a download I may or may not be able to play later on thanks to DRM.

They did lower the prices on all of their games not too long ago, and they do have KiraKira and Higurashi hard copies being sold at some places online.

Yeah if those points would be corrected then you'd find another reason to justify why you pirate.

>> No.6725749

>>6725167
None of their releases cost 80 dollars, and they did lower prices for everything else too a while ago. Highest there is is around 50 bucks, and that's for new releases or bundle deals.
And if DRM bothers you, just get a crack. Yes, I know it's backwards, but DRM is being forced by Japanese side, so there's not really much MG can do about it.

>> No.6725775

Errr... Why would they need to translate MangaGamer exclusive game? Can't they just do that in english from the start?
Or did they give the project to some japanese firm?

On the subject of boxes, I was complaining about there being no boxes in a MG thread about a fortnight, and a dev came in and said something like 'there'll be more on that in the new year'.

So, yeah. Let's assume that we actually are getting boxes and all that in the next few months.

You sound like they had several titles with lolis. The only title with a loli so far is Soul Link and she wasn't even H-able. However, it's true they stated they won't censor the 5 lolis from Koihime Musou (Chouhi, the shy loli, the twins and Riri).

>> No.6725953

After skimming the cg's for DC2 PC, I hope they release that. Akane and Mayuki routes seem like win to me.

Hope Koihime doesn't get delayed too, looking forward to it.

Nobody has posted about this yet, so I'll assume that I'm first to notice. Or maybe this is too obvious? I dunno.

nice to see I'm not the only one annoyed that they aren't releasing the P.C. versions.
I bought DC since I figured they would release DC:PC, but I'm not planning on buying anything else from the DC franchise until they release those.
I own DC2:PC already, but it's always nice to read it in English...

Especially since DC2 doesn't even have an Akane route, which seems a bit odd. I guess most people only care about the main girls, though DC was missing Tamaki and the spoiler character.
