Not that guy. But JAST do actually appear to be capable of decent work in decent time frames. Just when whatever business going on on the back end of things allows for work to actually be done. So provided it actually gets greenlit then I doubt it would take an eternity.

They seem to have access to Norn's full catalogue, and when they asked for suggestions they tentatively decided on the title that someone sent them a partial fan translation of (and since seem to have committed to). The fan translator previously had set up a paetron page to translate the title, and was at 8,48 % (250 / 2949 Lines) with their last update in June.

It's a shame, as whoever picked up Cherry Kiss seems passionate, but being restricted to Norn titles limits them from doing much meaningful, and their reaction seems like it will become "why isn't everyone else excited for our cheap, mediocre nukige." Not to mention, picking up the redone version of Wild Romance seems to have got them to realize that some costs such as translation aren't cheap for a title that isn't going to sell well, thus the hilarious attempt to fund a full blown nukige through Kickstarter.

That sounds a bit off. Maybe the somewhat wacky nature of their games make the dark/mature moments they throw in seem more dark and mature than they normally would be otherwise. Honestly, the only AS game that I've played that could be considered close to fully dark/mature would be Toushin Toshi II, and even that had a lot of wacky moments.

It may be a struggle to get new releases to sell on Steam (with just Fashoning Little Miss Lonesome, Golden Fantasia, along with new chapters of Higurashi and Umineko making the top 10), but established titles seem to still be going strong. It also confirms Fata Morgana's long tail that had been noted on other metrics, as it was ranked 9th for Steam last year and 6th this year.

It's a tad surprising that W Happiness didn't make the Steam list, even with a Steam patch. Kouryuu had noted that Da Capo 3 showed a small preference for the MG version earlier this year, so it is possible that W Happiness showed a similar ratio. Nevertheless, if the ratio is anywhere near 50:50 it shows that equaling the best MG seller wouldn't be enough to make the top 10 list for Steam.

I suspect that Fashioning Miss Lonesome sold significantly more on Steam than MG to get that 10th place while Ozmafia didn't even register on MG site sales. I guess the otome fan base is more comfortable buying games on Steam than the actual site while moege fans buy about equally from MG and Steam, if the game is 18 plus. I wonder if that affects physical copy sales. Most of the other titles on the list have no real reason to buy on MG rather than Steam except for Eden unless you really want a DRM free copy. It is interesting how Eden is second on the list (not including bundle sales), and the minori fundraiser still seems hopeless.

>>18197688
Rance VI's first month sales were massive, landing it on 4th place in 2017. Many people buy during the preorder period or soon after. W Happiness was massively hyped, so it's not too surprising that it beat Rance VI's tail end sales, but it's still possible that if you include Rance VI's sales in December, it could have beaten Happiness's sale numbers, at least within the MG website.

Of course, if you include Steam numbers, W Happiness would probably win anyways.

MG has always tried to balance passion projects and stuff that sells well. It's probably the only full VN localization company that does it well enough without overusing kickstarter or having a partner company to fall back on (J-List and JAST USA).

For example, I'm sure they hope Damekoi will break even, but the company is hardly at the risk of collapsing if it doesn't, and they are still looking forward to release more Propeller titles even though neither of the titles they got did particularly well. Occasionally though, risky stuff has sold surprisingly well for them like Kara no Shoujo and arguably Higurashi and Go Go Nippon before they were put on Steam. Come to think of it, it's only relatively recently moege have sold well, maybe because of Steam. The Da Capo series has usually broken even, but no one expected III to do as well as it's doing now.

>> No.18208410

>>18208313
I've been following most of MangaGamers staff on twitter and you are totally right about everything.
They all seem like passionate people who just like visual novels. Their top priority isn't licensing visual novels that will bring them a ton of money, they just license stuff that they think people would enjoy reading and that's why I love them.

If risky stuff seems to be doing well recently maybe they should try with another BaseSon title (I would buy it).

>> No.18211043

Episodic is a demerit. Higurashi sells well because it has an anime behind it at least. The Umineko release had the good sense to bunch up its chapters logically. Kuroinu is doing well because of being a nukige, but chapter 2 not being in the top 10 while chapter 1 is 5th place still shows that episodic is a bad idea.

Honestly, rather than being a pure moege, Supipara is trying to be a nakige, which makes its episodic nature even worse.

This was MG's goal with Supipara though, they were hoping for it to follow Eden as a massive seller on Steam (was 75k on Steam before the recent Bundle), but it never was going to do that with being a Summer 2016 release. A quick look at Steam Spy suggests Supipara has made it up to about 3k copies, but even if it was around 10k (like Corona Blossom vol 1, a more appealing and better publicized VN released 2 days earlier) it still would have been a disappointment to minori looking to fund more expensive episodes of Supipara and MG looking for another smash hit, though of course MG would have been much happier with such a performance.

kuroinu chapter 2 isn't doing bad because it's episodic. It's doing bad because they made it episodic in the stupidest fucking way. it's ridiculously jarring and nothing makes any fucking sense. They're not dividing it up in a way that makes plot sense, they're dividing it up so that there's always 3 heroines regardless of what that means in terms of progression. Kuroinu is basically divided into 3 arcs. The opening, (capturing of the dark elf castle) the castle sieges, (capturing the heroines of the 7? castles), and then the finale where you take the heroines to market to pick their H-scenes. And you know the ending but that's a given.

With part 1 of the english release you raid the dark elf castle AND raid 1 of the castles. It's not portrayed properly though. You just raid the dark castle and then immediately raid that one specific castle and then immediately skip to the market phase, but there's no actual market because you're missing 6 heroines so they just cut out that bit completely and instead cuts to your base with options for the heroines.
Part 2 starts you at the castle select screen (Which you've never seen before because they cut it out of part 1 even though this is how you're supposed to select that 1 castle you raided) and now you're given 7 different castles to raid but 4 of them are grayed out (1 in the first game you've already raided and 3 more which are for part 3). Once you've raided the 3 castles it transitions to the market phase where it shows a cg of ALL the heroines captured and being transported to the market even though you've technically only raided 3(4) castles and are missing 3 heroines. It now goes to the heroine selection screen for their H-scenes, but only for the 3 heroines you've captured in part 2.

Not to mention that once you finish up a heroines scenes it immediately cuts back to the main menu which is so stupidly jarring because IMMEDIATELY when the scene ends it just cuts. There's no outro or sending you back to the heroine selection screen. It's just boom, main menu.

Aksys hinted once that they tried to get it but couldn't. They mentioned that Idea Factory was throwing titles at them to work on but their was one series with multiple games they refused to let Aksys license.

Strangely, the most recent version of Kuroinu in Japanese (back when MG first announced Chapter 1) was the episodic version. I assume between that and MG possibly wanting to experiment with episodic nukige, they decided to go with that rather than just releasing the original completed version.

In any case, after chapter 3, they might sell the remastered version when all is said is done. I can't imagine a feasible way to patch all three games together into the remastered version though. Maybe they'll just split the remastered file three ways and have it associated with each individual chapter purchase. It's convoluted, but better than trying to force people who bought all three chapters into paying the whole price for the remastered edition if they ever sell it.

I think I recall something like MG once saying that Kuroinu as a whole was too long or something like? Hence why they went with the episodic version that Liquid put out after the initial release.

Doesn't really make sense with some of the things they translate now (unless Kuroinu is a lot longer than it looks) but maybe that was MG back when they first got the license.

Sorcery Jokers has actually peaked at 22 concurrent users thus far, and it may end up peaking higher as that 22 peak was a few hours ago. It is not going to be a smash hit either way, but exactly how well it is doing depends a lot on what the Steam to MG ratio looks like (Dal Segno peaked at 33 concurrent users on Steam and was 6th on the MG site last year, while Da Capo 3 peaked at 31 concurrent users, likely with a higher ratio off Steam since it was before patches).

On that note, MG called the Steam release of Sorcery Jokers "Sorcery Jokers All Ages Version", which is probably the best hint they could have given that there is a "NOT all ages version" somewhere else in light of Steam's new rules.

Even though Haruka got first place in 2016, there's no trace of it in 2017. Most popular pricy nukige stick a while in the top 10, like Ultimate Boobs War before this year. I wouldn't blame MG if they thought Haruka was only viable because Rance was bait. I guess it's conceivable that the moege audience becoming more prominent on the main MG site simply pushed Haruka down to the 11th or so place, but that's not something I would bet on.

I wouldn't be concerned unless we are told they were removed because of content, or some other titles are removed. While it is possible that it is part of some new crackdown (such as being a title with an R18 patch that has targeted a Chinese audience or going after paid offsite patches) it does seem somewhat unlikely that Muv Luv was taken down specifically for that reason, because the Alternative patch isn't actually out yet and could be halted if that were a problem for Steam. Not to mention, titles which got mainstream press because of R18 patches earlier this year are still on Steam (such as House Party).

Another possible explanation for the Muv Luv titles is this could be related to the transfer from Degica to IXTL that we were told about in the Kickstarter updates last month.

Alright, here's the final verdict. I had missed one scene from the main game previously, which is dry humping - that's really not obvious from sadpanda, so you'll have to excuse me for that.
Other than that, the state of the gallery after finishing the game completely (2.5hrs on skip with no effects) is as you can see on the picture. I removed plot CG for plotfags. You get to access all the girls' epilogues at once, and yes, the epilogues are just H-scenes.
The game classifies it as 3 scenes per heroine, but considering it's 3 CG in rapid succession with one of them being foreplay, I would argue it's more like 2 scenes. So the developers expect you to read 8 H-scenes in a row as a "reward" for reading their chuuni story. That, or reading 1 at a time, only opening the game in future sessions to fap, same as a nukige. I really really don't like this system of detached H-scenes.
All the heroines seemed cute, though their voices were meh. MG kept honorifics, which is good. The fact that it's linear but trying to pretend that it's not in the beginning is absolute horseshit. I guess I will read it, but I wouldn't pay for it.
