seems to be a release. nice to see a mostly peaceful kickoff for this year's summer of love. many fiery releases are coming soon.

>>44107520
Fiery releases?

Sukimazakura to Uso no Machi - Translation 100% complete TLC, editing, QA, image editing left

>>44108187
Hopefully he meant furry releases

Nukitashi retranslation status should be posted here as well. There are people who are waiting it, you know.

>>44113160
it's an awful vn with an awful translation, it's perfect as it is.

>>44113160
thanks for the heads up, i'll hold on finishing it after it's released

>>44113160
>Nukitashi retranslation
You do know it's being done by an EOP right? He's "translating" (TL note: MTLing) the references verbatim without even knowing what they're references to.

>>44113466
still better than official fanfic for zoomers

>>44113160
Schiza moment

>>44114777
Wouldn't a rejection be immediate?

>>44118112
DT2-2 presumably got rejected (or rejections) without bans since it doesn't seem to have formally got banned, unlike DT2 which was formally banned.

>>44118358
>DT2-2 presumably got rejected (or rejections) without bans since it doesn't seem to have formally got banned
Pretty sure it did get banned.

>>44115547
It was quite disappointing

>>44118358
Probably didn't bother with 2-2 without 2.

I can't believe that no one here could catch the leak before Hapa reported it to Shira.

>>44120701
What leak? Most people here don't have an account on THAT site.

>>44120870
Apparently there was an unannounced game shown on Johren for like 5 minutes. Hapa discovered it with one of his staff, said he will tell Shira and then deleted the posts.

no one cares about you, retarded subhuman nazi

>>44120940
qrd?

>>44120940
Please explain what's going on before I decide if I care or not.

Misinfo agent, I'm still working on it with my team of highly trusted Asian-only people so it won't get leaked. I don't like working with non-Asians.

>>44121485

>>44136335
They delayed it again?

rip Key

>>44140196
So Key and their IPs are in the hands of chinks now?

>>44140196
Visual Arts is much bigger than just Key
https://vndb.org/p993
They basically own 20% of the entire industry now

>>44140269
Are Saga Planets and Tonework's included in the deal? I was under the impression they both somehow changed their relationship with Visual Arts during the last few years.

>>44140196
Resorting to mobage means it was already too late, I expect Alicesoft and Aquaplus will also die soon enough.

>>44140756
Saga Planets separated from VA a few years ago

>>44140196
Modern Japanese companies have the choice between sucking american ESG/DIE tranny dick or sucking CCP dick. The latter is usually less overtly destructive to otaku culture.

>>44141782
>American culture is so fucking cancerous that people would rather lay with Chinese communists than them.
When you're taking a fat L from literal fucking communists like that you'd think the Americans would learn that their shit stinks.

>>44142111
>you'd think the Americans would learn that their shit stinks
our defining trait is that we never learn until the consequences become too serious to ignore

>>44141782
>>44142111
Japan has been pozzed for years if you weren't aware. Their economy is ailing and have they have no significant military power, so they aren't in any position to resist American cultural hegemony. Also enforcing LGBT is "central to U.S. foreign policy" (pic related) and good economic relations with America is contingent upon this. I'm not sure who "took an L" here, unless you think that any American business would actually want to buy a failing eroge company (???).

Does Canada count with that as well? Subjectively, all of our forests are burning to the ground and nobody seems to give a shit. Except for the folks in New York when their air pollution levels got so bad that their city looked like it covered in an orange filter.

>>44142668
>Does Canada count with that as well?
I wouldn't know. I'm American, and it just so happens that our other defining trait is not giving a shit about basically anything that happens outside our own country.

my favourite country is germany because they just import a different kind of immigrant by the millions every 4 years, their welfare websites literally come with Ukrainian language options now

>>44140196
I like that they mention Kanon and Air first and no mention of Little Basterds, Rewrite, Angel Beats or Summer Pockets.

>>44140781
i tought summer pockets had good sales. i start to suspect the management of many jap companies is full of incompetents.

>>44142721
They listed their most popular anime adaptations and their most recent project.

>>44142755
Summer Pockets did okay but wasn't as big a hit as previous games. Not having Maeda on it hurt sales a bit. In hindsight that was better for Summer Pockets. They fucked up by making Reflection Blue so soon after and announcing it at the same time they released base Summer Pockets internationally and saying RB will only be done if SP sells enough. They've only released short kusoge since Summer Pockets and then a gacha. People want a new full length nakige.

>>44142516
America is such an embarrassing faggot country. I'm glad that global de-dollarization is progressing quickly and that transvestite faggotry is being recognized as a demographic existential threat and outlawed in China.

>>44140196
FUCK THIS SHIT

This should be prohibited by law.

>>44143392
What does it change exactly?

>>44143730
Remember when Blizzard got bought out by a money grubbing corporation with no soul? Same deal. New leadership telling the same employees to work on more profitable projects.

>>44143872
I've not played a Blizzard game since 2008 so I wouldn't know.

>>44140196
Isn't Tencent mostly hands-off?

whats with all the random chinklets lol

>>44146101
Chinks are the reason this scene even stays afloat in the first place. Learn your place.

>>44146101
Shills

>>44145391
lol no

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy
>In October 2019, American video game developer Blizzard Entertainment punished Ng Wai Chung (吳偉聰) (known as Blitzchung), a Hong Kong esports player of the online video game Hearthstone, for voicing his support of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests during an official streaming event. Blizzard also terminated their contract with the two livestream presenters who were interviewing Blitzchung. The public's response, which included a boycott and a letter from United States Congress representatives to Activision Blizzard, prompted Blizzard to reduce the punishment, but not to eliminate it.

>>44136335
So it didn't release?

>>44151296
looks like it's out now

the fuck is happening here

>>44153153
What's wrong?

>>44154413
Kara no Shoujo seems to be doing respectably for Shiravune, peaking at 187 concurrent users thus far. On the other hand, Grisaia Chronos Rebellion has peaked at just 16 concurrent users thus far after being out for about 30 hours

Kara no Shoujo seems to be doing respectably for Shiravune, peaking at 187 concurrent users thus far. By comparison the MG release had only ever hit 25 concurrent users. On the other hand, Grisaia Chronos Rebellion has peaked at just 16 concurrent users thus far after being out for about 30 hours.

>>44157415
I don't know why they keep milking Grisaia if it keeps flopping.

>>44157415
>Shira dabbing on MG yet again
holy kek MG in fucking shambles. It will be even funnier if kns2 does better as well

why are all the fan translators doing DLsite h-games now? They've moved on from VNs. I've seen some of these h-games though, and they're fucking terrible. Always awful art, RPGmaker shit, NTR and female POV. How worse can people's tastes get

>>44160537
aren't they mostly just edited MTL?

>>44160537
Maybe the fanbase isn't filled with autists who will screech and insult them over translation issues no matter what they do

>>44160553
yes.

>>44160561
That makes a lot of sense actually
>>44160553
And they could be doing edited MTL of visual novels.

>>44160817

>He's only now learning about what daddy Elon did to Twitter.

>>44164015
Honestly, not paying any attention at all to the 24 hour news cycle is pretty based

>>44160537
DLSite H-games are shorter than even most nukige. And those "translators" often run patreons to try and fleece money off of people who would pay for their edited MTLs. If they do that shit with a VN the company might try to lash back at them, but for these little indie H-games on DLSite those folks don't have as much threat behind him.

>>44164036
There's also tools out there to auto translate RPGmaker games in a matter of minutes.

>>44160561
Instead the autist are the ""translators"" themselves

Saga Planets, tone work's and Frill broke up with VA. The latter two did so just last year which makes me think this deal might have been a factor in that.

>>44174624
I wouldn't blame them for jumping ship the moment VA started looking for a buyer when most of the value to a an external buyer would be tied to Key (and especially this past year to gacha)
