It's probably good and pedobait at the same time, but most of the people who bought it and will buy the eng version will be pedos.

I wonder why MG decided to stay so low for this con. SP went all out and now they're getting all the hype and media coverage early while nobody hears or gives a shit about anything MG. The hard release of free friends was absolutely not con-announcement worthy as a announcement. That sort of thing is like a side mention.

Now that Imopara 2 is confirmed, what are the remaining possible titles based on the hints given on the poll results?

That aside, it's guaranteed that this will be an all-ages release. So if the main draw of it is the hot loli sex, and SP strips that out, there won't be anything left worth reading. Thus my question of whether or not it's good enough to stand on it's own without the ero.

Haruka has reseated itself on top of the sales chart this week and by my estimates is likely to be closing in on 1.5k. Ozmafia aswell seems to have had a pretty strong opening, and is probably at 250ish sales. I wonder if that will have any impact on Steam Performance, as there are no steam keys, and it has taken a good chunk of sales that would have helped potentially propel the title up the best sellers list?

You didn't read Furifure if you think it's not edgy. It's as edgy as "story" stuff can be, they are from the same studio. ImoPara is on the light side of ero so it's a given that vanillafags and imoutofags are waiting for this type of nukige. So ImoPara isn't a surprise but Furifure getting a HC while nobody fucking care is surprising. A bad surprise and a wasted candidate for hardcopy.

I actually think freefriends is something special, as far as hardcopies are concerned. I highly doubt it's sold more than 1k.

Sales data from that far back is limited but, we can make a few assumptions.

Mangagamer's order number total was 33030 on 5/5
Freefriends went up for preorder on 5/22.
A bundle occurred on 5/28 with a potential of 7528 codes. Let's split the difference since it was the highest tier and call it 3764.
We have an order number one day after the bundle launched for 34913. A good chunk of that was probably bundle sales, but let's ignore that and run the usual math to say that at the point in time free friends has 470 sales. From this point on until mikan launched, we have 5562 orders. When we remove the bundle orders, we have 1798. Assuming it was the number one seller aside from bundles that entire time, that's another 450 sales max. After that, we have chart data that shows it not charting further. That's 920 sales, and that's a very generous estimate. With that in mind, you can also take it into account that it failed to make the top 10 best sellers of the year, and I'd estimate the bottom of that chart is probably in the 700-800 range.

Basically I'd say that mangagamer probably did a smaller order run for free friends. It's not up for preorder on jast either, so maybe they're using a new company that gave them a better deal?

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 27 07:13:47 2016 No.14984114 >>14984060 I would say the Sekai Project/Winged Cloud steam market has taken over much of the community now. /vn/ is more reddit and Fuwanovel than 4chan these days. Just the other day, someone unironically recommended YMK.

Also, for further fuel on that argument, if freefriends truly was an impressive sales success, then mikan and euphoria are even bigger successes by extension, as we know they sold more.

In reality though, if I were to simply pull a number out of my ass, I'd say it probably sold 600ish copies and mangagamer only had a hundred or two hardcopies printed.

You should have realized by now that SP only ever gets the scraps from the "big" companies. They're always struggling companies who maybe had a success in the past but are desperate to make a profit off their new games. Do you know how little Maitetsu sold? It's not good. They will never give Monobeno to SP. They only intend to attempt to change the narrative about Maitetsu.

Is this a joke attempt?

Maitetsu sold amazingly in Japan. I know cause I was there two days ago, seeing the lines.

Or maybe you're mistaking Maitetsu for Shoujotachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu? That's considered a disappointment and Japanese buyers are pretty unhappy.

The reason you EOP pals aren't getting Monobeno is you can't really take away the sexuality from Monobeno, it has sex in the main story, as a plot point in some routes. Even in the Vita version the sex happens, just offscreen. Maitetsu just has it all as separate H scenes, it can be sanitized easily. Although it's still debatable if some English internet circles won't make a fuss about it anyway.

Sekai was already negotiating for it before it came out. They just got lucky that someone "just so happened" to be working on the machine translation. And yeah, I know what you're thinking. Was it really a coincidence? Of course not. Sekai told them right off, start this translation and we'll buy it off you. We don't care if you know Japanese or not. And you know why?

Maitetsu can be called risky too. Most of the story is still lolis blushing at you and long explainations about trains.

I guess clueless EOPs on Steam will just see that it moves with e-mote like "muh Nekopara" and buy it without thinking. I still feel bad for the writer. On every prerelease event you could see his passion for trains is absolutely genuine and now his railway love letter will be poorly translated by some Sekai Project schmuck.

How come Auschwitz had a pool available for inmate use and even had monthly puppet shows for kids?

How come no Zyklon B was ever found in the alleged gas chambers, despite intense, rigorous forensic testing?

How come only camps inspected by the Soviet Union were implicated in a genocide?

How come the Soviet Union never made public their findings on the four camps that only they inspected which would later be the only camps implicated in the genocide?

How come the over a dozen camps inspected by the allies were all definitively proven to have never had any executions occur?

How come the military peddled rumours like soap made of humans and lampshades made of skin which were later definitively proven false?

How come no mass graves were ever discovered?

How did the nazis manage to incinerate over 6 million corpses in three years using 1940s technology if there were no mass graves, an impossible feat for no less than one hundred modern crematoriums?

How come the allies never intercepted a single transmission about a jewish genocide despite the fact that Alan Turing had cracked all the nazi codes including those going two and from the SS, military generals and Hitler that resulted in allied victory?

Why would Hitler waste money feeding, clothing, transporting and housing jews just to kill them with valuable gas over many, many years, during wartime when resources were precious and limited instead of just having them gunned down by the army?

How was pic related, the gas chamber door at Auschwitz, able to form an insulated gas chamber from which people could not escape?

>what are the remaining possible titles based on the hints given on the poll results

Purple could mean Sona-nyl.
An HD release, provided they meant 1080p, likely means Iwaihime.
The orange hints could still mean the expanded editions of Shuffle and Soul Link, with Steam versions of course.
The fantasy hint could be Kyonyuu Fantasy.
It's almost guaranteed we'll see Supipara 2 by the end of summer.
Another SonoHana game is likely, given the one they started with, it's likely going to be Maidens of Michael.
An Alicesoft title, hopefully Rance, but it could be just about anything.
And another Propeller title, I'd guess Ayakashibito or Bullet Butlers, since they both have all-ages PSP versions. There's also their crossover fandisc, Chrono Belt.

I really don't see how Sekai could do it. This isn't Nekopara with three short sex scenes removed. The very first scene has MC whipping out his sphinx in front of all the girls, there's a ton of sex jokes and innuendos, more than a third of every route is spent on sex, girls go on dates to a sex shop, all the drama is resolved by sex... It is a nukige through and through and SP won't go for it if they can't put it on Steam.

Dovac runs into problems because he is combative and often vents publicly on twitter (and formerly other locations). Additionally, he feels everyone should be happy about how Sekai Project (and him in particular) has handled things, and can get quickly annoyed when people disagree. With regards to this, he often tries to make (likely correct) economic arguments to try to convince someone with no economic stake in Sekai Project to approve of his decision on something because such disagreement bugs him personally. It also can bug him when people aren't happy with the official company line, thinking that just because he says "we can't answer now", that once said discussion should stop, or how no one heavily involved in the community treats Denpasoft as an independent project separate unrelated to Sekai Project. It is fair to say he has improved somewhat, if only by limiting where he vents to twitter instead of all over the place and how upset he gets over certain issues, but he still has the same basic problem.

It doesn't take a programmer 9 months, to do literally anything with these things. And if they pay the translator around $10k, $5k for two editors each, and let's say $5k for the programmer (all of these are too high for most MG games because they tend to be shorter), that's still $20k split between them and the Japanese company.

Dovac is actually in a really strong market position. If you were to ask japanese developers about localization companies they know of, they'd turn up only Sekai project largely due to their very public kickstarters. That in turn is getting companies to approach them, rather than the other way around. Mangagamer isn't even on their radar.

At most they'll get a few sales from normalfags who thought the art looked good and retards who think they're supporting Lose. Bullying them by saying that the original game has plenty of porn with those childish looking characters will be fun.

Considering the numerous Denpasoft releases since, and that G-Senjou is a very safe title to release 18+, it's believable that the original developer is at fault. That said, Sekai Project could sure as hell have made it clearer if that is the situation.

No it's not. Are you some kind of enlightened Tibetan monk or what? Either way other people aren't.
Emotions aren't a choice, they're a reaction. Circumstances and your state of mind certainly affects them, but they're still in no way a choice. If they were indeed a choice, there wouldn't be entire industries built around trying to manipulate and affect them. People would just choose to feel good than to pay money for psychologists and whatever else.

Only half true. What you feel in the short term is, mostly, out of our hands but what we feel long term, and this is well known by psychologists, is governed by our choices.

Well, other than their philosophy of heavily rewriting scenes, their localizations are very high quality. Her point was that they have localization testers who know the game very well and give feedback about the lines and how they're used in context. They also give plenty of resources and time for the localization. I can certainly believe that.

Most of their core audience don't give a shit about altering the game from the original, so who's to say they're bad localizations because of that?

Something like Rune Factory 4 was a huge amount of effort in terms of testing and making sure all the translated lines made sense in the game since the script was just one big list of lines. Nintendo probably has a better workflow and more resources.

Rance ___ is already pretty much fully translated as well as progress on other ones. Pretty sure MG already relayed to AliceSoft that the west really wants Rance and have been waiting for year(s).

What I'm most interested in is any new parters that could lead to a ~REAL DEAL~ VN for the west.
Also, now that MG and Navel broke up, we can pretty much say that OreTsuba is not going to officially reach the west any time soon, if ever. The more time passes, the older it gets and more less likely it gets to be picked up. It might get fanlated but can you really trust the quality of translation of prose of ESLs with machines? The trend for localization is now brand new shiny things and simultaneous JP/Eng attempts like Gahkthun(new/shiny), Harmonia from Key and Corona from Frontwing (eng before jp) and Maitetsu, (absolutely brand new, translation announced same day as release). The older things get, the more incompatable they get with newer editions of Windows.

To EOPS out there, if you really want to read aged XXX shilled kamige, you're better off learning JP. If none of the titles revealed at AX are good or interesting, that'd be a perfect time to start.
We still don't even know when Muramasa is going to be un-stalled, and then finished translated, and then stalled again before release like sumaga.
Subahibi has also been in stasis ever since the official deal was made with no word.
Anybody could probably learn japanese and become proficient enough to read something before it gets licensed, translated/edited/scripted, and scheduled for release. You could also then read whatever the hell you want at any time without waiting inbetween. That's probably something many people overlook.

So, dovac deliberately goes after VNs with sexual content to get a all ages release and then either gives very little priority to such release or just entirely ignores such release. Then he comes out saying he does care about the sexual content and in some cases it's simply impossible to get the version with it.

This really says a lot about the intentions dovac has when he approaches japanese devs. He's pretty much telling them the west doesn't care about it and rather have censored versions.

Why do you think G Senjou didn't get a adult version? Simply because dovac didn't care enough to put effort into getting such version. What about Hoshimeno? Denpa Soft didn't say anything about it and given the loli content, you can pretty much expect a censored version too.

Dovac does this and even comes out saying this shit? Does he simply expect us to think "well, he says he tried so let me give my money to him"? And even if he licenses some VNs with sexual content to release them on Denpa Soft is he saying they sell like shit because he's comparing the numbers with Steam or just because he's having unrealistic expectations and poor market knowledge about these type of VNs?

Fucking hypocrite.

Dovac needs to learn that all-ages or adult doesn't matter.

If it is a good game, in a bundle, for 10 dollars, 3000 bundles tend to sell in 2 days. It is the pricing that matters, and Denpasoft is extremely overpriced compared to Steam.

Just try me Dovac. Set Grisaia at 10 dollars for 1 week in your denpasoft store and marvel at how fucking well adult games sell.

Or try the opposite, and put your all-ages titles at 45-50 dollars. (As far as I know, only Clannad has this price, and it sold rather poorly for being one of the most famous VNs around)

I'm rather dubious knocking prices through the floor works in a niche market, especially one where a full length game is 30+ hours. People don't need backlogs of VNs they only bought because they were cheap/on-sale.

If anything, they need to find ways to allow passionate people to pay more. Say, $80-100 for a digital deluxe with translated drama CDs, wallpapers, progression of CG sketches from concept to completion, naked/underwear patches etc.

Eh, so just don't buy things that aren't complete. Most people that care about VNs are completionists, official translations are just someone doing the bulk of the work for fan patches and translations if they choose to screw us over. We might have to put in a little extra work to patch for the extra CGs and text, but we get what we want. In the mean time, pirate and wait for them to learn. It's easy to make an all-ages version for steam and just release that 18+ version through other sources. You don't even need to maintain a whole website for something like that. You could even simply put it out as a patch (something that will inevitably be made anyway) or sell it via j-list or amazon. Tons of sites would probably love to exclusively work with a company for something like that. Just don't pay them if we have to go through the trouble to fix it ourselves, cause it's a slap to the face.

Of course it is. It has story-relevant sex scenes in the main game and then dozens of separate extra H scenes, except some of them contain important character moments too. And some other content is much easier to call creepy by shitty Westerners, like Natsuha getting her first period or how's she totally flirting with her brother etc.

>>14991895
>>14991931
It is hard and isn't. There's some medical jargon, there's archaic speech, there are dialects, all of this would be hard to properly convey in English without losing the atmosphere it gives off in Monobeno. But most normal speech by Tooru, Natsuha and other human characters isn't hard, that's true.

And doing base Monobeno and Happy End separately would be fucking retarded. Base Monobeno is pretty unsatisfying in the end and Happy End is nothing if you don't read base Monobeno.

As far as censoring goes, it depends heavily on the game and the amount of censoring done.

IMHHW was a disaster in part because they went well beyond what was needed censorship wise, getting down to a relatively mild ESRB T rating. Grisaia all ages was reduced to what a CERO D title needed, which kept most of the plot in tack, though some unnecessary censoring was included as well. Muv Luv Alt all ages is restoring some content for Steam which wouldn't make it through a CERO D release, but is no problem for Steam. MangaGamer with Bokuten appears to be trying to figure out what they can get away with for Steam, which judging by Yurirei might end up being "quite a lot." Though that could end up being Dovac's next headache, seeing MangaGamer getting away with minimum censoring while working with Japanese companies that hand them significantly censored titles for Steam.

Perhaps you shouldn't judge how difficult is something to read when you "read" with automated assistance. And perhaps you should realize the problem isn't really jjst reading it, but properly conveying the atmosphere in English. You think some cuck from Sekai Project would be able to do it?

Perfectly understanding the text isn't even all that's necessary for translating. To translate, you need to be able to write well in the output language also. Even if someone is good at understanding JP and ENG, if they can't write well in ENG then the translation won't be good.

Given that sake is a catch all term for drinkable alcohol, it could mean beer, wine, spirits, cider or regular run of the mill rice wine depending on the context. Just leaving it as it is all the time would not be accurate because sake in Japanese and sake in English have different uses.

Herkz, there are more people in the community who don't understand English writing and want honorifics for certain games then there are masters of English writing like yourself, which is something someone selling a translation officially should consider. I'm saying this as someone who is generally opposed to their inclusion, but can recognize my view is going to be in the minority of the English community.

Honorifics are known within the otaku community only. You translate for the English audience, so you'll need translation notes.

Also, only the more well known honorifics are known within the otaku community, stuff like domo is not, thus you'll need translation notes.

And if you're including foreign, Japanese words in an English text without translation notes, you've attained a new level of suck.

Keeping 'Manga' as 'Manga' is fine since it's actually a loanword that you can look up in a dictionary.
However, honorifics are not words in the sense that they can be used in the same way in english and retain its meaning. In english, it doesn't have any meaning which is why it shouldn't be used in english writing. It's strange why people get so extremely triggered by it.

'Senpai' when used to refer to someone is literally just a substitute for calling them by their name. In that usage, its equivalent to calling them by their name.
'Senpai' when used not directly at a person or referring to a specific person means 'upperclassman'.

It seems though that the broader audience willing to play games with anime art doesn't care one way or another with regards to honorifics, while a portion of the community cares about them, especially for a Japanese setting. Hard to believe that the inclusion of honorifics has hurt titles like Clannad or Steins;Gate, while their exclusion probably would have caused some problematic vocal backlash. Thus regardless of what may be the best choice in a literary sense, hard to see a business reason to exclude them.

>I contacted MangaGamer about our project so that we could receive some TLC, something we were dying to obtain at the time. They agreed to *take a look* at one of the scenes we had finished translating and editing, and when I sent the files to them, I noticed a lot of unfamiliar usernames browsing the files (Nawhal, for example). I was pleased to see that there were few "glaring issues" as they said, but they alerted me to one translation in particular that sounded strange. Before notifying the translators to review the segment of the scene, I quickly ran the line under a machine translator, Google in this case. What I discovered wasn't what I wanted to see. I saw that the translated line was, word for word, what the translator had written. I can only guess that it this translator had being using a machine TL the entire time, somehow dealing with the test. This particular translator had also done the majority of the translation I had edited, and that was a lot.

I like my translations with Japanese. It annoys me when they go from ojou-sama to whatever word they figure will mean "rich girl" in English. Same with changing sexually loaded oniichan with "big brother" that carries no sexual vibes. I prefer them using last names, even though a proper localization would mean first names always when addressing people.

Kouryuu put out an answer about 18+ content on Steam earlier, concluding with what is probably a preview of the PR speak on the subject.

>If we really want to see more sexual content in the mainstream, and greater support and promotion of sexual freedom in general, what we all need to be doing is to support those actively trying to push the line on what sexual content can be legitimately sanctioned, and supporting the original uncensored editions that aren't broken just to suit one storefront.

As was speculated in this thread, Tokyo Babel apparently hasn't been doing too hot preorder-wise.

A wise man might consider that there's no steam key included, and therefore wait until the steam release to pass judgement on how it will do.

Tokyo Babel hasn't really charted at all, and when it has, it's quickly left the charts indicating single day bursts. If I were to estimate by giving it say, 5% of sales(the same weight I usually give spot 5) in it's sales period, that ends up... 125 copies. That'd be about half of what gahkthun achieved in the first month of preorders(it had a two month preorder period).

Steam will quite decidedly make or break tokyo babel.

If you ask Dovac, only all-ages sell. If you ask MG, only eroge sell. If you ask me, only cheap games sell and get put on backlogs, while expensive games get to wait for backlogs to clear.

You can only sell expensive things if it includes benefits. Like an expensive Haruka with a promise of Rance. Expensive Imouto Paradise, with a hint of future loli titles. Expensive limited editions, with promises of art books and drama CDs.

A neutral expensive title will never do well. Why should anyone buy Tokyo Babel now and not during the 25% summer sale? It would only happen if you are out of VNs to play.

This is true. The reality of games is that even AAA titles aren't always day 1 buys (unless multiplayer).

But MG sales are few and far between, so it's worth getting something at a decent discount even if it goes on the backlog.

Nega0 is a great magical girl transformation game, although with some major flaws, that I wish Jast would bring over since they're already partners with Eternal.
