Now it has been out for a small while, localisation issues aside, did SukiSuki live up to the hype in the end?
People were hyping it up ever since one of the rejection scene images started floating around and then the whole bankruptcy thing turned it into a never ever meme for a time.

>>20429316
It's hard to live up to 2 years of hype, especially when it was exaggerated by the unfortunate events of Chuablesoft's bankruptcy.

I don't think it's the best thing ever but I'm liking it. It reminds me a lot of older visual novels with its style of direction and the numerous events which affect other events and so on. It's a good change of pace to actually think about choices for once and the small rewards like slowly getting your love rank up with the girls and having them ask you on dates is nice. The first time playing through the common route I focused too much on one girl and blew it relationship wise, after figuring out how to manage the events it was a cinch.

The art is really nice and music is good stuff as well. I have a few complaints: initially I didn't really feel like any of the heroines grabbed me, but I do think they develop well over the course of the game in a positive way; I really disliked Yuuki at first, for instance, but she turns out good. I can see why the Japs liked her the best now.

Of course, my biggest complaint is Maya. She's really good and the fact that she didn't get a route upset a lot of people - it's pretty obvious she was written to be a heroine. She gets more events with the protagonist if he isn't making gains on the other heroines, and I believe she was supposed to confess or something if the protagonist got rejected by Mahiru, which is neat. In my opinion, Chiho and the other side girl (who I haven't even met yet) should have been canned and made way for Maya.

Otherwise pretty solid title so far. Good art, good VAs, good girls (if you let them grow on you), good music, interesting gimmick which gives it replay value, good H. Most of what I want out of any moege so I can't really complain.

As a final aside I hope this shuts up the people who think that MG somehow has a problem with loli or something, because Mahiru is one of the most unabashedly underage girls amongst translated titles. The game gets very specific with it (though without ever actually saying her age, of course) That being said because of that I'm 100% certain it'll probably never get on Steam - well, aside from the fact that it's a school setting and that seems to be an instaban now.

The sale numbers were already going back to normal VN levels before they opened it up to 18+ content.
Though in the end it is still a platform with one of the largest audiences so it won't exactly ever stop publishers putting titles on it. The concurrent player count of Evenicle showed it still has a large potential for some titles.

None of their replies really say anything other than they have a content policy or officially confirm the reasons for removal of something like the all ages Hello,good-bye. I am not sure even saying "we will look into any cases you bring to us" does anything either, as MG had so much trouble with little to no communication from them when they had a title taken off.

To be fair, Kouryuu has said that MG will probably never do anything with randoseru. I don't think he or at least MG personally has anything against loli; they just doesn't want to risk the controversy.

>>20429636
I would say that gameplay titles and moege that get on Steam are consisently above pre-Steam levels now. I don't know about general sales outside of Steam though; any increase in sales on that side can probably be attributed to better licenses rather than an increase in the buyer base.

I would say that the cheap HRPG buyer base definitely swelled in size once Steam let them in. Kagura Games seems to sell a shit ton, and I wouldn't be surprised if even DLsite benefited (they seem to be translating stuff much more frequently recently, though that could only be me).

After ImoPara 2 and Yuzu having one of those typical loli ''red backpacks'' it's clear that they are fine with loli content.
But yeah Mahiru is on another loli level since she clearly says that she never had a period which means she's around 12 years old.

They buy out licenses to shut down their competition and never release them or at least sit on them for 3+ years without doing anything.
I remember him saying that if you don't constantly license titles, you've already lost in this business.

This strikes me as overly optimistic for now because the whole "everything is allowed except illegal" statement. Valve said the same thing and look where we are. What is illegal depends on where your company is set up. One of the first things these guys should do is make a list of stuff that is illegal in a FAQ or something so people know what to expect from either a customer or developer perspective.

Hoshimemo and the other thing SP rushed out for the steam sale at the time would disagree that SP isn't as bad. And Maitetsu and the h scenes. Hell, i see them as MUCH worse than when they started.

For 50 posts in one day before the thread died. Nothing against Mahiru’s quirk being removed, even though she is literally a 12 year old moron, while the main argument of “professionals” who usually want it removed is that it makes the girl seem more stupid than it should.
Then the dozens of sentences entirely in Spanish. Maybe commiefornians know as much Spanish as the every Jap knows English, but most of us don’t.
Dude doesn’t need an explanation.
Normal honorifics everywhere and then suddenly Mr. for the teacher.
Speaking of those, I didn’t see many typos, but I did notice characters dropping honorifics for a line or two in many scenes and then using them again later, even though there was nothing like that in the original. But that’s the usual.

There was plenty of complaints about it in that thread as well.

I mean, I don't really see why we need a complaining quota for SukiSuki when a lot of people seemed to have already made a case against it. It's an Arunaru translation so was anyone expecting anything less? It's not like VNTS exists in a bubble either - I've seen loads of complaints on other websites about Arunaru's choices insofar as SukiSuki is concerned. Especially /vn/ which has been non-stop posting about the translation decisions for the past 5 days. Which is ironic considering they let something as bad as Fureraba pass.

You know what’s bad? Changing a girl’s name for no fucking reason. Kouryuu was here 2 years ago bullshitting about how some of their releases drop the long vowels. Guess what, SukiSuki doesn’t do that. All the long vowels except for Yuuki are in. Amazing job. Nice romanization consistency. Good for them, to drop the vowel without realizing that Yuki is a different name. They got $38 and several free mandays of effort out of me, but damn if I’m not laughing that people don’t like their release.

Consistency doesn't exist in Arunaru's world. Actually, as someone who generally isn't bothered by his translations, I think that's probably his biggest issue overall aside from nameshit. He'll do something controversial in one area, but in another area where you expect it to also be it'll just be the same as usual, and you're left with a big question mark over your head. In some cases the lack of consistency can be perfectly explained, but in others it's just pure nonsense and in the latter's case I would say generally Arunaru falls prey to it.

The only other translator I can think of who is even more inconsistent than Arunaru is probably Conjueror.

After Tokyo Babel and now SukiSuki, can we all agree now that there's no right way to translate honorifics or at least that we don't have any skilled enough translators to properly handle them, especially Conjueror. I can understand when MangaGamer hires him for their niche chuunige and plotge titles which nobody reads, since out of all translation companies they need translators and freelancers the most due to their monthly release schedule, but hiring him to do Rewrite+, one of the most popular titles out there seems like a really bad idea. Though the main target audience is Key anime drones and steam, so I doubt they will complain much about translation quality.
Also, it's beyond ironic that Chuee and Co are shitting on SukiSuki when they used to furiously defend Chrono Clock on vndb and fuwanovel by saying for example that ''buster'' is a common word used in the UK, especially among sailors. Both of them are bad.
What a circle jerk this ''professional'' industry is, thank God I'm not their target audience since I haven't bought a title in years and honestly I doubt anybody here can with a straight face say that title X had a good enough translation worth supporting this year.

>『Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~』 is a visual novel released by Lair-soft in 2002. The game was praised for its unique settings and the story. Soon after its release, 『Kusarihime』's scenario writer Hoshizora Meteo (who later joined TYPE-MOON to work on 『Girls' Work』) gathered several people from around the industry, including scenario writers Nasu Kinoko, Tanaka Romeo, and Urobuchi Gen, to talk about the game, which later resulted in a 『Kusarihime』 fanbook.
>Inspired by their discussion of 『Kusarihime』, Romeo went on to create 『CROSS†CHANNEL』, Urobuchi Gen made 『Saya no Uta』, and Nasu came up with Heaven's Feel route for 『Fate/stay night』. Not only is 『Kusarihime』 is considered a classic, but it is also considered a cradle of other classics.

That perfectly sums up what I find so awkward about SukiSuki's translation. They leave in honorifics, they leave in weeb words like fujoshi and nukige, they make you have to look up stuff like Shichi-Go-San, but for whatever reason Onii-chan is singled out for removal. Consistency is the most important thing. Either make a translation that leaves in the weeb speak or make a localization that removes the weeb speak. Leaving in some while removing others is not only confusing, but frankly insulting. The defense of "people won't understand it" is treating readers like idiots incapable of learning.

The only defense of 'dude' I've seen is that some people think it is a hilarious meme. That in itself is silly because we are told over and over that translations are all about conveying the original intent and not necessarily word-for-word accuracy (or even sentence-for-sentence accuracy). You'll have a hard time convincing anyone that Japanese readers were supposed to be laughing their ass off every time Chiho says 'Onii-chan'. So Arunaru has effectively changed the intent and turned an entire character into a meme because he thinks his weeb readers are too retarded to understand or learn that Onii-chan can be used in situations outside of little sisters.

>>20435380
>With the others left in I honestly feel he did it out of spite in this case.
That feels painfully plausible. He seems to generally hate weeb speak and made no secret of his distaste for being forced to translate a moege like SukiSuki. He'll never admit to it, but he may have been looking for ways to release his frustrations.

memer decides to create extra instead of working on any of the projects that were already piled up. then he decides to create a sequel to it that's just a heavens feel rehash with less interesting characters. then he decides to create a "sequel" just to create more meme lore so that FGO can have a part 2. then he decides he wants this game to have atleast 2 sequels as well and gets one of his buddies to write a filler game inbetween. but while he's writing the sequel he decides that he loves the setting so fucking much that he has to write an extra anime too.

Probably 2019, but I wouldn't bet too much on it. The issue is that things might come up in beta that could take a while to fix. Same thing goes with anything currently in beta or about to be in beta. Damekoi in particular took a while since MG wasn't sure if they would do the updated rerelease or not, but they went ahead and managed to make it work.

Trinoline is almost assuredly next, Steam Prison and Bokuten are probably soon after that with perhaps a 2 week gap in between. After those are when Damekoi or Lilycle are likely to be released, though they're still the chance that any title that is currently 100% tl'd and edited could have a short enough scripting and beta period to be released before those two titles.

Reading SukiSuki made me realize how much I miss visual novels with many choices or some sort of mechanic. A huge chunk of visual novels have like 4 choices, one which leads you to the heroines route which is so boring and lazy they might as well make it linear without any choices at all. If it wasn't for the VAs you might as well read a book.
Fureraba was good because each day you could choose to speak to the girl you want and I like SukiSuki for the same mechanic. It makes you feel more invested when you choose multiple times the girl you like then click once and you're now in her route.

I think it mostly depends on the visual novels length and the amount of heroines. If a visual novel is 30-50 hours long or even longer and if it has 5-6 heroine then multiple choices can only make it better, especially when they have optional stuff like extra scenes or CGs which aren't tied to any heroine or gag endings. I love that shit and it makes the visual novel more fleshed out.

If it's plot focused or even porn focused, linear is better. I don't want to jump through too many hurdles to get to the true end or to see all of the porn. I can see why a ton of choices is good when the VN is a moege or a charage though since the point is to get to know the heroine more.

It appears to still be in a pending state hidden from view, where it isn't expected to be publicly known yet. While it could end up either getting denied approval, or pulled after approval like other recent titles on Steam, the only indication this shows is that it has been updated internally recently and that they have not yet made the page public.

Westerners seems to be obsessed with this SJW thing. It's called shitty writing and Alicesoft definitely can't write good H-scenes, that's all. The whole point of Aster is that he's the opposite of Rance, a bland vanilla protagonist set in a harem setting.
Another thing that I noticed in the latest western release of SukiSuki for example is that everybody dislikes Mahiru because they get a pedo vibe due to her being an actual loli and it gets confirmed in the visual novels that she's literally 12 years old. I personally loved her because there's no BS like: she's actually a shinigami or she's actually a 100 year old train, so it's fine you don't need to be creeped out, I promise.

If you can't enjoy some shitty Japanese visual novel without having some SJW thoughts while reading through it then they honestly aren't for you or you should get your head checked, because you may have a problem.

I suppose that depends on a lot of factors. It's a difficult conversation. But as long as localization companies only deal in distribution and not production - especially in this fanbase - it's going to be their reality. As far as eroge goes, you can only appeal to so many people before you run out of potential customers; that's the reality of any niche. Massive successes like Nekopara are fickle and impossible to reproduce reliably, so localization companies are going to be saddled with the same core audience no matter what. Even if we step outside of eroge there are very few big success stories, and many of the most successful ones are in the hands of bigger companies, and are usually on console.

Even the Japanese are pirates, yet they are still alive and kicking. Piracy is part of any industry be it games, music, movies etc.
Marketing is the most important factor in any industry, it doesn't matter if your visual novel is good or not as long as you can sell it to your potential customers.
Look at Evenicle, it's main selling point is Senran Kagura but with porn and it worked. It's the most sold visual novel this year.
Kindred Spirits on the Rooftop had good marketing too, it was promoted as the first uncensored visual novel on steam and it sold 10k copies on steam alone, it sold so well that MangaGamer got the Full Chorus license a few months later after the Japanese release.
Another example if you want is Libra of the Vampire Princess, one of the blandest and worst visual novels that I've personally read, but it still managed to get 183k $ because they had fantastic marketing and people promoting it.

Localization companies are lazy and chase the next big thing that seems to sell. It was Nekopara a few years ago and now it's gameplay RPG titles.
I will bet that almost all of them will announce at least 1 gameplay title next year.

I agree it has potential, but you never really know, honestly. If they market it correctly, and if it ends up in the hands of some big streamer, then it could blow up, yes. It's a total meme title in every sense of the word and frankly doesn't deserve success, but it certainly has the potential for it.

It can depend. If they expand their audience then they will still grow your sales even if the number of pirates increase, especially if it is pushed onto steam or GOG who have an audience who will buy stuff that goes sale even if they will never play it. Also once they feel that something has reached the end of the road of potential sales a year or so later they can dump it into one of those bundles with other titles that are in the same situation to squeeze a few more drops out of it.
It also should be remembered piracy isn't an automatic lost sale as there was no guarantee they would have picked it up. They might even pick it up later on sale or in a bundle if they liked it enough.

Man, I wouldn't have expected that with the glacier pace that SP was going with the one title, announcing a couple more and doing fuck all with them. Wonder if they still have to release Tenshin Ranman and/or Dracu-riot or is it all going to NN?

they kept Yuzusoft titles censored because they didn't like the uncensored assets and the translations are objectively bad because they completely rewrite content that they shouldn't be rewriting and completely change heroine quirks to something entirely different. VN's had better translations 15 years ago than the garbage we're getting today and it amazes me people keep buying from most modern day companies when they're basically pulling a ubisoft and doing a shittier job on each release.

The fact that the 55~ released vn's from 2003-2008 on average had notably better translation quality AND never had a single mosaic is something I find absolutely crazy compared to modern day titles being released with mosaics. Half of NN's catalogue has kept mosaics and 4/5th's of SP's has kept them. The only company that doesn't keep mosaics on modern releases would be JAST and sometimes MG.

Fureraba was the good release NN had this year, even though I feel they didn't do a good job on the translation, the rest of the title was an enjoyable experience. Sanoba had a pretty bad translation on par with cherry kiss titles and there's no reason to read it over Ditzy Demons which does everything it does, but does it much better. I got 2 hours into sanoba and ended up dropping it because I saw no point continuing to read it since I could just go to the gallery on the panda and have a better experience overall.

Making*Lovers is pretty good. I hope they do a better job on it than they did on Fureraba because it's probably Smee's best title overall. Good pick up.

Senren Banka is probably Yuzusoft's worst title in recent years aside from Amairo. I imagine it'll do well for them financially since it's Yuzusoft, but it's really quite mediocre, much worse than Sanoba which was, overall, probably their best title in recent years (Riddle Joker is basically just Dracu Riot all over again but with worse girls)

>The first title we are announcing today is Yuzusoft's Senren Banka. Many of you are probably mildy confused to hear that since this title has already been announced by Sekai Project quite a while back. The short explanation is that things didn't really work out between Yuzusoft and Sekai Project. To prevent rumors before they start, no, we didn't 'steal' the title from SP and there is absolutely no bad blood between us and SP.
This confirms Nekonyan=Sekai Project offshoot.
First, they appear out of nowhere releasing six "AA" titles, which are typical Sekai releases.
Second, Sekai Project hasnt been annoucing new major titles unlike in the past, and instead has been cutting down expenses.
Third, Chuee said before that there were special circumstances between Nekonyan and Sol Press.
These three points indeed raise suspicion.

It's Akerou and Chuee so it will 100% be another poorly edited meme TL with a gazillion typos and grammar issues.

I know Akerou and Chuee are friends, but Akerou should really get an editor that understands English, because ESL + ESL editor is a bad idea and it shows in all of the translations.

I only bought Sanoba Witch because despite its many TL issues it was still better than the absolute shitfest that was Fureraba, and I wanted to support more moege licenses. I dunno if I'll buy Banka, though, because I didn't really like Sanoba all that much in the end. Maybe Yuzusoft games are just not for me; I didn't really care for DracuRiot much either. I'll buy Making*Lovers if it's not a cringefest of a TL.

I'd be fed up too if I were Yuzusoft. They expected Sekai to release their stuff in a timely manner, not sit in the license and never release it just to stop their competitors from getting it. Talk about backfiring.

No wonder Yuzusoft got fed up with Sekai Project, just look at the amount of titles they hold hostage.
It wouldn't be a problem if they released on a monthly basis like MangaGamer does, but damn the only notable titles that I remember this year were Maitetsu (which they fucked up initially) and Koikuma.
Leyline 2 was supposed to be out in Q1 2018 and Baldr Sky in mid 2018, hope Giga ditches them too.

Sekai releases the 2nd most amount of titles per year between MG, JAST, Nekonyan, Sol Press, and etc (at least I think so), but their release schedule is pretty erratic.

As someone who likes Amakano it is a bit boring, yes. But I think that kind of comes with the comfy winter setting. The second game is, however, overall better if only due to the superior heroine selection.

Eh, it's alright. Honestly I think e-mote is kind of a meme. I like it for blinking and mouth animations, but not so much poses. Thankfully Amakano is more minimal than other titles when it comes to its e-mote. The new Marmalade title is using a newer version (or what seems like a newer version) of e-mote which looks pretty alright as well.

Bro, you gotta accept that 1 is a snoozefest.
Now, 2, I'm more into 2. The characters have just enough depth and variety to keep things going. For a moege, it's good. Still kinda boring, but it's alright.
But 1? Nah, man. It actually put me to sleep. I'm not sure I actually know anybody who didn't fall asleep playing it due to the sheer lack of anything entertaining in the game. It's the ultimate snooze cruise. I sincerely can't imagine playing it AGAIN after narrowly completing a single play through. The heroines are basically as two dimensional and boring as you can get.

That said the H-scenes are great. If you want to play Amakano to fap you have the right idea. Amakano is a great moege cum nukige if you ask me.
>>20461481
Now, while I think Amakano is boring but overall fine, Mashimaro is just plain bad.
The common route has drastic structure problems and the result is that two heroines of the four heroines don't really start consistently showing up until a LOT of time has passed, which really makes things unbalanced and sucks for fans of those two characters. To make matters worse, one of the characters has their personality totally misrepresented during the few short scenes they do show up in prior to becoming a regular, so she ended up being the least popular heroine due to no fault of her own. It's really just messed up on a fundamental game level.

But even when putting all that aside and looking at the game on it's own, ouch. The best thing I could say about it is that it mostly avoids having a school setting. Other than that, this game is going through the motions 101, and it doesn't even do that well. There is a legendary sequence in the common route that gets absolutely dunked on constantly by everyone cause it's the most cringeworthy shit of all time. Even thinking about it now I can't help but laugh. Mashimaro is just baaad. EGS reviewers are right when they say it's a game that's literally only good for its pretty CGs and hot scenes. Even as a moege, Mashimaro isn't worth playing for just about anyone imo. Anyone who's not just satisfied by pretty pictures, I guess.

Also, Ushio's route is enjoyable enough for babumi fans, so if you really like Ushio, it's kinda passable if you just do her route and jump ship asap.

>I'm not sure I actually know anybody who didn't fall asleep playing it due to the sheer lack of anything entertaining in the game.
I have a love boner for Koharu and it helps that she is voiced by one of my favorite VAs.
>To make matters worse, one of the characters has their personality totally misrepresented during the few short scenes they do show up in prior to becoming a regular, so she ended up being the least popular heroine due to no fault of her own. It's really just messed up on a fundamental game level.
RaiRai or Saza? iirc they were both pretty badly misrepresented.

Honestly, I still found it sadly disappointing. They didn't play up the onee-san angle nearly as much as I wanted to and her H-scenes (let's be honest, it's the only reason to play the game, really) was a total disappointment. But, well, I've talked about that to death and back at this point. Either way, I 100% agree that it's not worth wasting your time on the title. It's really quite bad.

iirc RaiRai ended up being dead last for the actual poll, but Saza was indeed dead last for the trial. I actually skipped Saza's route because my impressions of her were ruined for the reasons you describe. Recently went back to it after having a conversation with someone and she was quite different. And lewd. Actually, by far the lewdest character overall, which I was surprised by - you can tell the artist had a good time drawing her scenes, probably more so than they did with the boring Ushio scenes. She gets rimjobs, mating press, leglock, heart eyes, kneejobs, animal cosplay, anal. It's like they did all their tricks on this one girl that ironically most people probably skipped over due to her being so mediocre in the common route.

Koharu, at least, is definitely the best Amakano character. The senpai has nothing but her heterochromia and Sayuki is such a basic pure-hearted yamato nadeshiko miko character just looking at her makes me head desk, but Koharu's alright. I have a weakspot for shortstacks so I found her really hot. And cute kouhais are nice. If you're going to play Amakano for a character Koharu is the best one. Then again personal taste plays a big role in this kind of thing.

Well, she's really just there to be a Kaede clone. Piro's waifu is Kaede (from Idolmaster) and I think he wanted a bootleg version of her in his game. I'm glad we agree on Koharu. Shortstacks are indeed the best.

And they're probably like 5% of the fanbase at this point at best. I think Nasu was saying something like 90% of their modern fanbase hasn't even read the original visual novels.

>what the hell do they want with something like Black Cyc.

They revealed a while back on their forums (about 8 years ago) that they actually made a deal with Black CYC and were very close to licensing some titles. However CYC had to pull out since they were unable to get their engine to work correctly with English text (it has issues with punctuation and special characters). I suspect the schism when Black CYC lost most of their staff had something to do with it.

They never confirmed which titles they were in negotiations for outside of 'Black CYC'. Mindead Blood was the assumption at the time.
