[Anonymous No.]

>>18090009
That or he's one of those people who hates to see a game ruined by shoddy "professional" work so out of some misguided kindness he fixes it so the fans don't have to suffer. I can certainly empathize with that. Too bad Sekai Project has no incentive to ever get their act together if people keep giving them money and then fixing their mistakes for them. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Enabling Sekai Project's shitty behavior can only end poorly for everyone. It would be better in the long run if a handful of games got butchered now and it tarnished Sekai Project's reputation, eventually putting them out of business, saving as of yet unlicensed games from suffering the same fate. The longer this cancer is allowed to live the more damage it will do.

Indeed they did, and I'm not going to defend it, but they doesn't have people who hate their consumers making decisions (AFAIK) like SP does >>18090407 where as long as it isn't a kickstarter, they'll put in the bare minimum of effort. And that's just one example of Dovac complaining about everything. CC was another disappointment, and that's not even mentioning the constant delays. Grisaia 18+ is what, 7 or so months behind, and Leyline was delayed 4 or so times and still has untranslated text, along with Hoshimemo.

>>18090622
Even so, it seems to be a pretty significant nistake to make for a release, but at least I can say it MAY just be a mistake with MG, but maybe not. If it were SP, it would just be sheer laziness since they make the bulk of their profit by doing kickstarters, and not by actually releasing VNs.

And then there are a lot of games that would remain unlicensed forever- I know for a fact that MG would never have dared to pick up maitetsu 18+ for example, and SP did- which is pretty brave of them. Wagahigh was delayed but was perfectly acceptable quality when it released. They CAN do it, they just need to DO it. I personally don't give a fuck about delays, just don't release a delayed product STILL buggy. That's their biggest problem recently.

No localization company is perfect, but what the hell are you talking about? MG doesnt have a problem with 18+ versions or lolis, and released a lot VNs with them already. Granted some only had 1 girl, but nonetheless there really isn't a fear that you're trying to create here. If you want to talk about brave, MG translating Imouto Paradise 1 and 2 is impressive since they have lolis, incest AND are uncensored. Not to say MG is perfect, because they definitely aren't.
I'll be surprised if SP doesn't cut out the lolis from Maitetsu, but time will tell. For example, SP is still translating the 18+ version of Grisaia after 7 months and counting after the all ages release.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091137
not that anon but MG does have a problem with Loli's. All of their actual lolige titles have been released censored with mosaics for an undisclosed reason. I believe all the ones they released were ammolite titles, which is why I don't give a shit about the upcoming ammolite title they have since it'll probably be censored as well.

I could just be horribly mistaken though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091137

I flat out asked Kouryuu a couple of years ago if they'd consider picking up monobeno. He pretty much gave a flat "No", without any room for interpenetration, because it falls into actual red backpack territory. Several other people from the industry (I won't say who to protect their privacy) have expressed some level of concern about the 18+ version of maitetsu, due to potential legal ramifications.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18090407
Wait. Is this an official message from Sekai Project? Well as official as Discord or whatever can be.

And if so did he seriously try to justify the lack of quality assurance, with the fact that the game was too broken to justify it?
Just imagine if he was dealing with food or something. Skipping quality assurance because his food was just too contaminated. Telling people to accept his shipment as it is or not at all and claiming that people's standards are too high.

I really hate them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091150
I personally don't understand the obsession with having mosaics removed- does it really matter that much? Are you incapable of getting off without seeing what are in many cases, not very attractive genitcals (see: anything circus, or PE for example). Unless the decensor is really good (rare)I'd rather see mosaics instead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091150
its not just the lolige, a lot of their low-price games like that still have mosaics because the devs don't care to keep the assets around

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091150
Well, if we're talking about lolige, then Maitetsu isn't really one. Hell, even Monobeno barely qualifies in my view.

Neither SP or MG have the courage to translate an actual, full-blown lolige like 小女ラムネ or 通心ぼ. I suppose I can't really blame them, either.

>>18091163
Maitetsu isn't really a lolige, though. Tons of scenes with cowtits and the usual excuses can be made for (most) of the loli characters. Also, a great majority of the title is focused on boring infodumps about trains. I'm not really sure why anyone would get their panties in a bunch about 18+ Maitetsu, it's comparable to, say, Ultimate Boob Wars in regards to the sexual content. Monobeno, though, I can understand. Even if that title only *just* qualifies for a lolige; a great majority of the H in that title are segmented from the actual title, and around half or more of the game is made up of perfectly adult-looking women fucking the protagonist. And yet I suppose some of the content with Natsuha would certainly give some companies pause. Regardless, most of Maitetsu isn't even focused on anything one would associate with practically every other lolige out there. I'm quite certain 90% of the people who meme on about Monobeno or Maitetsu would be bored to tears from those titles - especially the retards who go on-and-on about "muh smug lolis" and the sexual trait tags in Natsuha's profile.

>>18091169
Sometimes it works out well. I'm pretty impressed by the uncensored stuff in ImoPara 2.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091150
Ammolite just doesn't want MG to uncensor their titles, or give MG the assets AFAIK, which is pretty simple to me. Although it's nice to see things uncensored, it's really not like genitals are well drawn in most VNs (ImoPara has surprisingly well drawn genitals for example). Has SP even released anything uncensored in recent memory?
>>18091166
Not an official message, but from Dovac on discord. He complains about things in twitter too a ton. I think Wagamama was the most recent thing he complained about saleswise.
Didn't he used to be the head of SP, or am I remembering wrong?

[Anonymous No.]

>>18091163
No idea what you mean by legal ramifications, it's legal in several states in USA and they already have disclaimers setup which say "check to make sure the content in this VN are legal in your area before consuming".

>>18091169
VN's are (were originally) censored because it was(and still is) illegal to have them uncensored. Companies are now given chances to release their product the way it was (originally, no idea how devs feel nowadays) meant to be. If I wanted to read a visual novel with mosaics, I'd just read the japanese release or some fan translation/text hooker it if I was having difficulty.

Okay Imagine Left 4 Dead. That's a pretty common title that people have played. Now imagine if it was created in germany and got a western release, except now all the gore is gone because "who cares it's just some blood and it's illegal in germany". Yeah it's just blood and everything else is still there but to me it still really dampens the experience. If I play an eroge, I want eroge elements and I want them uneutered if it's possible. And also because mosaics look so fucking garbage 90% of the time that they ruin the entire fucking CG. The only mosaics i've actually not been bothered by has been Wagamama High Spec's because of how minimal it is. it's just a line through one spot, it's not blurring half the fucking CG. Seeing mosaics to me just ruins the art way worse than badly drawn genitals do.

Supipara fundraiser was at $207,481.84 as of December 4th. It needs to reach $350,000 for them to do chapter 3.

Given how poorly chapter 1 sold and how poorly chapter 2 is likely to sell, I'd say it either won't happen or will take years. Luckily this means no more "surprise" announcements that most of us saw coming a mile away.

On that note, minori spoiling Trinoline's announcement a year in advance really killed alot of hype surrounding its actual announcement.

Seabed briefly peaked at 29 concurrent users, though dropped off fairly quickly after that. It looks to be a stronger launch than other Fruitbat titles such as Miniature Garden and Enigma, although both of the latter have ended up getting into the 2-3 thousand sales range with time.

Both Hoshimemo and LeyLine don't seem to have useful info as far as concurrent users goes thanks to most users appearing not being tracked because of Sekai's need to use Locale Emulator. Although even with accurate numbers, there would have been an initial surge of users from the Kickstarter making it difficult to draw any conclusions.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18100522
LeyLine would have a smaller surge as they didn't think of handing out adult patches to them so there are only all-ages Steam data.

That game uses the freeware YU-RIS engine, which is pretty common and has been extensively reversed. A lot of tools can deal with it, some titles have xor obfuscation but that shouldn't really deter any half-competent reverser.

I recommend the tool GARbro by morkt from the russian scene because it's easy to extend and upstream is very responsive to queries. Said tool has full support for YU-RIS including repacking, but it has not been tested on this particular game as of yet. That should at least give you an extracted script to get the ball rolling.

Happiness Drops, a puzzle like game using assets from Happiness, was released on Steam by the Japanese developer.

I doubt the guy knew how to do that. Probably bought it as it was. Speaking for myself I don't want moege or nakige. I want vanilla nukige. Vanilla doesn't mean boring sex. Look at CLockUp's Eroge! for an example. To each his own though.

With all the shit that's floating around that's the only way to describe it. A game where you have one guy fucking girls in different scenarios/fetishes but with NO OTHER MALES. NO gangbang unless MC clones and no ntr. Plain vanilla is used on moege/nakige. But nukige like that are vanilla as far as I'm concerned. KF I consider vanilla.

I pirated it of course, as I was like 14 or something back then.

And the issue is that the niche titles are only available in rape/NTR and such. Monster girls? No good version. Dickgirls? No good version. Gender swap? No good version. Crossdress? Hurray, we have Otoboku, one game! Magical Girls? No good version.

The issue at hand is really that if something niche is brought in, it is always together with a rape/NTR fetish.

At the moment, Japanese VNs, especially bigger titles, haven't really ran into any problems on Steam yet besides the new R18 patch policy. With Steam facing the risk of a block though, they certainly could begin to take more drastic steps to try to appease Chinese censors with more significant consequences.

As to the effects of an actual block, it would be complicated and vary from game to game, but for Japanese VNs at least, the general result would be less money for English VN publishers who have been getting some Chinese sales on purely English releases (most moege released on Steam have some number of simplified Chinese reviews) and sharper declines for some titles (most short meme titles, Degica VNs) that included simplified Chinese to directly target the market (Steamspy geography data indicates more than 60% of Nekopara Volume 3 sales were to China). More drastically it would kill the SakuraGame model so there is that, and mainly Chinese targeted companies like Hikari Field would no longer find themselves with a market.

Yet another bizarre move from Light.

https://www.inquisitr.com/4690282/dies-irae-season-2-release-date-confirmed-2018-anime-ova-end-visual-novel-story-episode-12-17/

>The overall anime will be 18 episodes in total, but Dies Irae Season 2 (or the second cour) will actually be composed of six Dies Irae OVA episodes. According to the official website, Episodes 12 through 17 will be released by studio A.C.G.T. in web streaming format with no TV broadcast. The announcement did not specify which website will be carrying the second season nor whether English subtitles will be available. (This article will be updated once more details are confirmed.)

>Besides web streaming, Dies Irae Season 2 will also be released as a Blu-Ray box set on July 13, 2018. Costing 15,800 yen (excluding tax), Dies Irae Volume 3 includes all six OVA episodes in addition to original drawings and interviews.

Either a weird experiment or they just don't have the money for the broadcast slots.

This really sucks. Given the Blu-Ray release date it means the episodes will be delayed. Maybe they aren't even finished currently. The last episode ended right around when Schreiber killed Bey and Rusalka..

I think people are more upset over what you translate them to usually. Like funbag fantasy, that did half-good in at least keping the Japanese in the title image. Since nobody wanted the translated title anyway.

It always takes me 3 minutes to remember the title because funbag is so obscure around here.

>>18124463
Everything is better than not editing/translating them at all.
Leaving them untranslated is in my opinion pretty unprofessional.
When a fan translation does a better job than a company who gets 60k-100k $ on average per kickstarter and doesn't even bother translating them.

Just look at 1 MILLION DOLLAR animations in the Nekopara OVA https://twitter.com/SexIsDisgusting/status/944459471497162754

u wot

it's precisely the opposite.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18124463
While they were mad about the translation itself, that's unrelated to the issue the image presents. Japanese character words in a game should be converted into English or at least romanji. The only exception might be is if the setting is in Japan, and that's only if the words are unimportant. The title is a minor thing, but changing it is still appreciated.

No, they don't have enough time for that given only 6 episodes left. And it already killed off characters needed for those other endings to happen.

It's rather impressive how Light managed to fuck it all up. Dies Irae was one of the most anticipated VN's ever. They made people wait for a 18+ patch that "lol not a patch sry" and fucked up the anime too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18125961
Even worse is that the anime was also crowdfunded and raised over 96 million yen. I feel bad for the fans that backed it

[Anonymous No.]

>>18126014
You might say that is a lot of money, but it isn't. Nekopara OVA made even more money than Dies Irae, if we make the currency exchange.
Now, you could make the argument the fundriser was made to attract invertors but still is a something cheaply made.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18126059
You're right, but the base goal was only 30 million yen, so 96 is pretty good in comparison. Maybe Light underestimated how expensive anime production is or something. Or maybe they just don't care

It's just Yuki autist saying he was fired. He just got sick of living in Japan. And can't comment on Sukisuki status, like no one else at MG will either. The developer dying likely put it in some kind of limbo they don't want to bring up.

They're re-translating it now, because they now see he's a garbage translator. They allowed him to finish Rance, because he said he would release it as fan TL otherwise.

It's in licensing hell then. Hopefully they can still release it otherwise all the work they've already paid for will go to waste. Not to mention cancelling an announced title would make them look really bad.

Releasing the latter part of the season as an online only series of OVAs really takes the cake, especially when the TV aired portion ended in a random spot during Marie's route with no conclusion.

Most likely the 6 OVA episodes will just finish up the story in Marie's route, since there's still alot of her route left to go.

I wonder that as well. I mean it's not that difficult.

>Release the entire VN on Steam for sale than the prologue and DLC arcs

The problem is that people were expecting a patch to add the H-scenes into the all ages version, thus having the best version of the game. One that includes all the story content and gore without losing the Ero. All in glorious uncropped 4:3. Instead they just told us that the patch was just the original game just a bit before releasing it. After making us wait months for it. Now the people who were waiting jut play the all-ages while having another game open to skip to the ero scene. Fuck them
