New thread. Re-did this one since I missed the subject line. The 3rd anniversary for global just started along with the second Taimanin event.Also, in case ICYMI from the last thread:>That thread along pretty much emphasizes the crowdfunding thing again although them having plans to explain more. It also repreats some info regarding why the game got the axe, and it was honestly a lot more than I was expecting even if they came go into extreme detail. Basically, it is a combination of complicated contracts and resources. Even though sales have gone down, they were still making plans going forward.https://twitter.com/MGCM_official/status/1697214274719092924>This one here follows a bit on how they still want to talk with the fanbase and answer questions in mid September. Aside from that, the plot is 90%. I'm not sure if they mean from what we have seen or from what they have so far, but good on the communication either way.>Going back to the complications, the team was also talking with various other affiliates since they rely on more than the parent company and DMM. We probably won't ever know all the details of these contracts, but maybe that complication is the reason why there is even a small glimmer. Also, I say they got the axe, buy the team is asking that it was their own decision to end things given the circumstances. So maybe it really was a case of funding getting cut rather than an official end.>No news on global. The admin from the official Discord has said that there are no plans for cancelation right now. It may or may not end early still, but I honestly wonder how much overhead they worry about
Here is the last key visual. I say last, but I truly hope and believe that this franchise won't die.
>>1272959I will miss the little sluts
>>1272959>but I truly hope and believe that this franchise won't die.Straight up abandoning the IP would be extremely retarded business-wise. They could easily pivot into making non-gacha games ala Granblue
>>1273544Well we have the offline version to look forward to for now
>>1273544It wouldn't be the first time a franchise got locked up in a dark dungeon. I don't think that will quite happen here since the team seemes to really like what they were doing and they seem to have some wiggle room along with this having been high investment and highly produced, but businesses do these sorts of things all the time. Not gonna lie though, a Persona-esque game would be pretty cool since there are a few similarities already and I imagine it would be slightly less resource intensive.
>>1273569btw why did you adopt the "I=MGCM: I am Magicami" as your name
>>1273574I mis-clicked something. It wasn't intentional.
>>1273594just remove it anon
>>1273544Granblue a shit
Dude these goodbye stories are kinda sad even if they aren't voiced...

>>1274798I think this is a fan game that has been in the works for a while now. Kind of tempted to buy I even if I don't play it.
This anon >>1275063 isn't very bright
Depressing how we will never get a proper interaction or scene between these two lust queens. AI is literally the only outlet.
>>1272959It's over
>>1276026damn that's good
I kinda wish there was a way to see what you already have from the gacha with these year UR banners. Also kinda wish they just straight up gave everyone 5 copies of everything in the present box but I can see that being annoying for both parties.
>>1276026>AI is literally the only outletI mean, you could always commission an artist or try drawing it yourself.AI art always feels like an emotionless void to me because it's like 99% machine black box and 1% some dude inputting a text prompt hoping to get okay hands.
>>1276294Yeah. Some AI art is very much more lively, but it feels surreal how often you can tell when something is AI art. >https://civitai.com/user/Galliano/modelsThis one above is pretty decent, but some characters do look slightly off in comparison.We joke about being rich and buying the game or assets or whatever, but I do think there is a lot to mine from the game. I'm not sure if I'd ever try to do something like fanfiction, but expies are a thing.
There's no way these anniversary missions could've ever been done to completionOh well. Maybe next year..
Almost forgot about Mari's incredibly small behind. I do really recall any scenes that make her butt look even slightly big either like most of the girls do.
>>1276645What? It's pretty easy. If it's the orbs just buy it at the coin shop
Is there only one artbook? I can find only one with all the character sheets, but almost no banner art nor scenes are shown. Anyone know?
>>1278139Three, actually.MAGICAMI CONCEPT ART WORKS: https://ecs.toranoana.jp/tora/ec/item/040030763299/『マジカミ』公式ビジュアルブック: https://ecs.toranoana.jp/tora/ec/item/200012121777/『アイ・アム・マジカミ』公式ビジュアルブック: https://ecs.toranoana.jp/tora/ec/item/200012460958/The first one was a doujin release, but most of the content was reprinted in the first Kadokawa release (the second link). I don't remember what's in either of them, so I'll check out my copies and get back to you.
I want to get that sabbath gold mission done before the end. Do I just hit up sabbath at reset and spam pots until I get it?
>>1280750Sure

Well that didn't work, line up was the usual 8-9 full beast teams with one npc. Oh well.
>>1273544>Straight up abandoning the IP would be extremely retarded business-wise.You really have no experience with hentai franchises, do you? Sometimes the lack of sales, or in gacha cases, players/purchases is enough. Ever heard of the Makai Tenshi Djbril series? Completely dropped the moment Frontwing decided they wanted to do more "wholesome" R18 content.
>>1281874It's a shame that the people who draw the hottest girls also tend to draw the most degenerate content, so this tends to happen alot to official releases
>>1281859>refresh>9 full 80 teams>1 team of 60 or 65>lose>repeat 5 times>spend 30 jewels>5 teams of 1 lvl 30 dresses>regain 20 sabbath pointsYeah, it's like that some times
Considering that Unity is gonna charge 20 cents per download I wonder what is Studio MGCM gonna do...
>>1284010Huh?
>>1284165Unity announced they're gonna charge the developer for every download/installation after certain threshold is surpassed. The gacha dies next month so I doubt it'll matter for that but the offline version might be hit.
hey would you guys mind keeping an eye on this imposter while I pick up some milk from the store
>>1284265Ok, they could just make the offline cost 20 cent then
I thought Sabbath rafreshing was supposed to give me new opponents but 50% of these are the same as before wtf
>>1284988Storefronts take a cut of sales. It wouldn't work unless they offer it in their own website or just change engines.
>>1285054Then just adjust the price so that it covers the cut and the 20 centsBut they'll probably come up with something else
>>1285081Since the offline version will most likely end up as a VN + model viewer they should just port it to Godot. I also doubt the parent company would be fine with losing money with each download for an IP they no longer care about, if they really own it.
I'm so fucking retarded... I forgot to do last month's babel tower and now the game will EoS before I can unlock the scene with keys...
>>1286244Rip brofingers crossed global manages to keep going until then or that it will be in the offline
>>1284566is that the new Illusion game
>>1286328Yeah HoneyCome
>https://twitter.com/MGCM_official/status/1702608127710142532There might still be hope for voices in the offline version
>>1287625Maybe it'll be a stretch goal for the crowdfunding campaign. I also hope they can also make a deal with the parent company about the IP rights.
should i roll trying to get luxuria on the global with 50000?or does the global version will live enough for me to get her with 90000?i started 20 days ago and i feel in love with this game.
>>1287751I predict global will last until Q1 2024
I know that rerun dreeses don't have h scenes, but does Anubis Ao have no story whatsoever?
>>1288001it was removed because it was bestiality
>>1288071That's Seirahttps://spankbang.com/7j9uc/video/anubis+seira+new+versionhttps://spankbang.com/78q1j/video/anubis+seira+old+version
>>1288171I wonder if they'll put the original scene in the offline version. I guess it probably depends on where they do the crowdfunding.
>>1287761well that's probably enough for me to get luxuria gonna keep playing it until it goes down this game is awesome is a shame i didn't found it until too late
>>1288171sadly, the non-vanilla content like this is likely why this game struggledif you think about it, gacha games rely on waifufagging the most, because only a waifufag (or a metafag) would be obsessed enough with a girl to spend thousands whaling on a jpeg of her, or to get the newest dressquality doesn't really matter, it's about pulling in obsessed whaleswho's going to want to waifu up a girl who gets fucked by dogs and old men every other week?and someone who just wants to coom and doesn't care about the characters can just look up random pornI guess maybe they were hoping for a majority of people spending a decent amount of money instead of relying on whales?
>>1288323The Taimanin gacha has lots of non-vanilla content but it doesn't seem to have any problems bringing in lots of money
>>1288323>who's going to want to waifu up a girl who gets fucked by dogs and old men every other week?>and someone who just wants to coom and doesn't care about the characters can just look up random pornI honestly the girls being huge sluts is one of the main draws for me. The events aren't even canon to the main timeline anyway.
>>1288359apart from the fact that Taimanin is an established and well-known property, and even then it's not really bringing in "lots of money" (it's doing well though, and it's very cheap and low budget so the costs are low)...are you aware of the fact that the RPGX original character, Kirara, is overwhelmingly the most popular character in the franchise and consistently tops every single popularity poll (while asagi herself struggles to crack the top 10)?yes, more popular than iconic faces like Asagi, Yukikaze, Annerose and Ingrid, who all have years of OVAs and videogames promoting themhere's another neat fact: to date, every single scene of her is vanilla with the self-insert. No orcs, no NTR, no rape, no tentacles, no shit-eatingcan you fucking comprehend that? Taimanin, THE orc rape series, with a fanbase made up of people who love degeneracy... and it's most popular character and top moneymaker is the bland generic virgin waifubait OCour girls had no chance :(
>>1288171So they just zoomed in and removed the dog's head
>>1288001It doesn't, what the hell
Aight so I did some digging and it looks like there were a few instances of UR dresses just having no story at all if they were the 3rd UR in a normal set, so Anubis Ao doesn't have oneSad since Ao is one of the hottest girls in the game but that's how it is sometimes
>>1288323>>1288429nah this argument would only works if games with pure waifu that include sex are doing finewhich there isn't gacha games like thatit struggles because it's porn doesn't matter if it's ''degenerate'' or notthe point is porn gacha games that aren't low budget don't last simply because they are pornit has nothing to do with ''non-vanilla''on a half related topic taimanin devs should give more love to chaos order.
>>1288566I see. Kinda sucks.>>1288769This whole thing is weird since I see these ecchi and borderline pornographic games and other things and wonder why they don't just have actual porn. Guess this is the reason why, even when people staying home most of the time isn't exactly out of the realm of possibility given how many things are or can he remote.
>>1289180>I see these ecchi and borderline pornographic games and other things and wonder why they don't just have actual pornI mean the answer is very simpleHaving "actual porn" means you can't be on the big app stores which guts your exposure
Very nice art.. Which artist is this from?
>https://twitter.com/MGCM_official/status/1703988968352866810No collab stuff in the offline version

>>1293744dude
>>1293873Bruh
>>1293744Shit happens
https://www.magicami.net/news/info_article/?id=4210Crowdfunding info is out
>>1294306
>>1294306>55,000,000 yen goalThat seems like a lot.
>>1294333uhh what's the last one?
I kinda want to get the offline version legit but man 15k. Also a little sad seeing that the Iroha cosplay got shafted, though it's hilarious how much the cosplay tiers are.
>>1294348You get that black head that the producer uses and a personal letter from him
>>1294342>almost $400,000 in about 2 months>at least 15000 yen tier for access to the offline version>delivery in September 2024Man that's a really tall order.You'd need 3667 people paying full price to reach that goal. I like the game enough to chip in no matter what but doubt most people feel the same.Will really need to watch the stream next week to figure out what they were thinking.
Negative:ExpensiveNo battlesNot all dresses implemented (collab dresses)ExpensiveExpensivePositive:Voices are included (possibly why it costs so much)Script for the rest of the story will be completed (albeit as a separate text file)Studio function with all non collab dresses.Unclear:The wording suggests that some collab events will remain but without collab character voices.Digital art collection. I'm assuming it's cgs of "everything" in game. Not sure how complete or interesting it will be.Misc:The download keys on Campfire are for the all ages version instead of the DX version. The DX version download keys are distributed separately to backers. It might just be that Campfire as a platform doesn't allow adult content and they're skirting around that.Unreleased image data for 50000+ yen backers. (Unreleased dresses, end of year event, unreleased characters, etc)tldr4 years of story content + voices at the cost of two full price games.

>>1295361Yeah I'm guessing the voices added a lot of extra cost to the final goal. Hopefully we'll make it there, I need Iroha and the rest of the girls to be perfectly preserved in this offline version.A shame about the lack of Taimanin dresses though, they're the sexiest in the game so far.
DX news at the livestream
>>1295503150€ is still pretty steep for DX too
How much will offline cost for those who aren't backers?
>>1295887Free, cause you'll just pirate it.
>>1295894We all here are gonna support the offline version because we all love the girls
>>1295887>>1295894Keep in mind the Campfire page says it's an all or nothing type of crowdfunding. If it fails to reach the goal, all pledges are returned and we might get nothing at all.
FYI if you don't support this and decide to pirate it instead, you are a BITCH>>1295902This is the correct playAll things considered, 15k yen isn't that bad because of how the yen's been in the toilet for the past couple of years. It ends up being just around US $100.I'm thinking about supporting the J course, but I already have a ton of Magicami merch and the only unique art would be the final key visual. If not that, then the F course or something so I can get the unreleased data files.
I'm skeptical because of how smoothly Kamigoroshi no Aria's offline was handled last year.how fucked up does your game/contract structure have to be in order to demand this much money
>>1296341>inefficient workflow and badly managed budgetMaybe that's why the game EoS'd.
https://twitter.com/momomanji/status/1706123263578087798
Aw fuck the event ended and I forgot to read the stories shit
Crowfunding stream linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4241xeE-po
>>1296354Honestly I've been thinking about this and maybe there's another reason for the amount of money they're asking. My copium is skyhigh and it tells me they want to buy the IP rights.
For what purpose
>>1297506It's started
Money is being raised a lot faster than I expected. Does anyone know if they will accept donations even after meeting the goal? I wanted to donate for one of the middle tiers but don't have the spare cash at the moment.
Almost halfway there. Maybe we'll make it after all.>>1300329I also wanna know that
>>1300329>>1300339 I just checked, and it seems that additional donations will still be accepted and put towards making existing rewards better. Honestly don't care about that too much since I'm not sure what else that can add, but at least I can still donate in a month or so. Think I'll go for either the 15,000 yen package or the 50,000 one.
Someone bought the head
>>1300401kek, I wonder what he's gonna do with that
>>1300329>>1300339Still an uphill battle now that the whales are done doing their part. The rest needs to be filled by regular people. Where are we gonna find 2040 more people to pay 15000 yen?
>>1300473It's slowed down since nips are sleeping rn but I expect it to pick up the pace again when they wake up.
>>1300524Even if it doesn't today, nearly having 50% raised in a few hours is absolutely impressive, and quite a few of the donations choose the relatively lower 15,000 yes option, so it isn't all on the whales.Also, there are options like Tenso and other overseas shippers in case anyone goes for any reward tier with physical merchandise. At least they acknowledge international fans.
>>1300528Meant to put 15,000 yen. That is roughly around $100 by the by.
>>1300528Yeah I'm confident it'll succeed
>>1300533I'm not. I don't put too much effort into the game content with user rankings yet regularly come in between 1500 to 2000th place. That's a tiny regular userbase.Gotta do some outreach to more casuals with even passing interest in seeing it finished.If it fails, we get nothing so it's better to have more people onboard the crowdfund rather than waiting for and riding a hypothetical post success train that might not come. The option to buy it later on DMM only exists if we reach the goal.
>>1300643Don't worry bro
>>1300643Is this for global? On JP, I hovered around 40,000 in ranking. Even then, I am not sure if using PVP rankings necessarily means all that much depending on how players engage with different modes. Even moreso since you can be a fan of something even if you don't actively participate, and some may prefer an offline version precisely because they can do things on their own time without the fear of missing out. Not saying you are wrong, just giving another perspective.
>>1300667That's in JP. I averaged around that range for all content, not just pvp. I know the campaign just started and I'd love to be proven wrong but I'm gonna do what I could to increase the chances of success.
30 million yen mark surpassed
>>13015661666 more people.
>>1301581At this rate it'll reach it's goal in the next 15 to 30 days. Plenty of time.Future is looking bright bros.
>>1301604Don't jinx it.
>>1301566We're at 67% now. Even with most of it coming within the first 24 hours, being almost to 70% within the first week is great.
>>1302854Yep. There was a good progress boost in the last weekend. It'll surpass the 40 million yen mark in no time.
40 million yen mark has been beaten
Demo is out if you anons are interested
>>1304497What's this?
>>1304861some fighting fan game getting a Steam release
10 million left
Only 11% left. The last few days have slowed down of course, but it is still good that there seems to be continued contributions. Tomorrow will probably have 10% remaining.
>>1307555We're entering the weekend so it should go a little faster now
Soon
>>1304497Huh, is it good ?
>>1308591It's an interesting concept but I'm not a fg guy
>>1308843LET'S GO
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!
I'm not paying 150 dollars for a neutered offline version of gachaslop.
>55 million yen crowdfunding>to sell the offline version of the game at 15k yen/copy, which is 1.5 to 2x of AAA game in JapanWhat is the next step of their master plan? Japan-Only? No Steam/some obscure website release?
>>1309135???
>>1309124>>1309135The prices around gacha have always been borked, especially this one.>Taiman collab - 5000 paid jewels ($50 dollarydoos) for one (non animated) H-scene and ten tickets.>ASMR gacha, 15000 paid jewels ($150) for 50 dresses and 5 ASMR stories that you can't even download (assuming you're too much of a tard to just use OBS/record desktop audio)>3000 paid jewels ($30) for a single, cosmetic weapon that can only be equipped on a single character. Even if you account for the fact that you might get UR's, without any free access to paid jewels these prices are geninuely just horrible. You can buy eroge/nukige for less than that, and have hours more content if you just want fap content. But in the mindset of someone willing to sell ASMR for $150 dollars, selling a large majority (over 100 or so) of h scenes for $150? Kinda seems like a bargain.>What is the next step of their master plan? Japan-Only? No Steam/some obscure website release?It's very unlikely this is getting on Steam. They are extremely prudish around loli content. e.g. To Heart 2: Dungeon Travelers 2 couldn't get on Steam, even though it was ESRB on Vita- for what was assumed to be loli butt in cg the files ,that wasn't even used ingame.Sex with Hitler is fine though, Evenicle is (somehow) fine despite having actual loli sex but not Evenicle 2 for ironically the same reason.I'm not saying it's a zero percentage chance, they might be able to do the thing that most VN's do, which is have a R-18 patch on their website- but that involves effort.
>>1309514>Dungeon Travelers 2 couldn't get on SteamBecause it tried to get released in all-ages store instead of adult-onlyThese kind of games are doing fine when they don't try to get around steam categories
I don't expect it to be on Steam. The store is wildly inconsistent anyway.It'll have to be DLsite.
>>1309609I believe they mentioned it will be on DMM, though DLsite also tends to have a few of the same things. Also, I kinda doubt that the offline release will be 15,000 yen since that package includes more things than just a download key. Based on the cheaper packages, I'm guessing that the price will be closer to 5,000 yen.One other thing is that there may be stretch goals, but I've always been lukewarm to skeptical about those since I feel they are often tacked on given that those goals weren't exactly planned.They so far got around an extra 8 million yen which is about 53,000 usd. I'm not a budgeting expert and don't know what expenses they'd have to take care of or for what reasons, so I'm wondering what they can do with that extra money. Still holding out for something like a manga or even more of those light novels.
>>1311387Yeah, the offline version will be hosted on DMM. They said it also costed money to do so, kind of like paying rent to use it as a platform like the Apple or Play store and that it was factored into the original goal.Personally, I think the immediate best use of extra money would be to get the rest of the story fully voiced instead of just text as was the original plan. They mentioned drama cds so maybe in that format.If there's a lot of extra money, I'd put the rest of the story into the offline version too. Then reimplement the battle system that's been cut out.
The fact that we'll be able to extract the 3D models with accurate proportions now puts a smile on my face
>>1311554>Then reimplement the battle system that's been cut out.Problem is that the battle system is serverside so implementing it offline would be too much of a hurdle
>>1313370It shouldn't be that hard if they still have access to the server files
Stretch goals announced.https://camp-fire.jp/projects/696164/activities/517909#main75m yen: ED voice drama released on DMM; B-Q Course supporters receive download keys90m yen: above + Part 6 voice drama150m yen: above + Part 5 voice drama
>>1316233eh that's nice I guess
>>1316233It's something I guess ? I'm more curious about what they'll do once this is out.Either way, maybe it's a bit hypocritical to say this, but is the Hscene archive still worked on considering we're technically getting an official one ?
>>1316908Hopefully they won't sell it in several parts...
According to the X account looks like the game will include some goodies
>>1319868Elaborate
did anyone preserve/archive the original games' data files
>>1321123I believe they talked about the artbook or something like that being included
>>1321255Cool
In case anyone didn't know, the official JP Twitter account has been answering questions from fans. Take it with a grain of salt since it is translated by Google, but this tweet here funnily affirms that some of the h content is tacked on when considering the context of the scenario.https://twitter.com/MGCM_official/status/1717460065127678442?t=k2fdXNanHEI0EmszGYejKQ&s=19
>>1322081yeah they've answered a lot of questions
Just a heads up: The first time you log into the Japanese version of the game between 10:00 PM JST on Oct. 30 and when the game shuts down at 11:59 PM Oct. 31, an ending movie is scheduled to play.

The crowdfunding campaign just announced what will and won't be included in the offline version as of right now. I only play the JP version, so I don't know the English names for all of these.https://camp-fire.jp/projects/696164/activities/520548?utm_campaign=696164Not included:- Sabbath- Quests- Team page- Chat- Login bonuses- Missions- Serial code entry- Data transfer (online account sync between devices)- All collab contentIncluded:- Home screen (includes: all conversations, character and background change, limited home screen backgrounds based on PC system clock; currently deciding whether to include remaining 7 characters who were planned to appear on the home screen)- Story (main, Kizuna, dress, event, Babel, birthday, extra)- Studio (including Demon Mode and all dresses/cosplay available in the online version as of right now)- Gacha- R18 scene gallery- Sound player (including those expensive situation voice dramas; may not include some songs due to copyright)Under consideration:- Dress/orb-related functions- 異界ふしぎ発見 (idle missions)- Profile screen- Shop- Character info screen (profiles/memories)
>>1323409That's neat. Hopefully people find a way to mod in the collab content.
https://youtu.be/eGyWIzvX048
>>1323409Ok, that is pretty extensive. How would the gacha even work tho ? Do they just give you infinite currency ? Do dress unlock as you go through story and events ?
I would've thought that the profile and info screens would be the easier ones to implement compared to the home screen interactions. Still, happy with all that we are getting. And I think the crowdfunding should be at like an extra 30 million at this point, and I still have to donate myself.
>>1304497I didn't notice this post the first time, but I just caught an article about it on the Japanese MGCM wiki. Apparently this is more than a regular fan game.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2509830/MGCM_Combat_Edition/MGCM Combat Edition ("MGCMCE") won the top prize in one of the official doujin contests back in 2020 and received official approval from the MGCM team in 2022, so parts of it use the actual assets from the game. No voice acting, unfortunately, but if the super sekrit asset ripping Discord downloaded the voice data before the game goes offline, it shouldn't be impossible to mod them into the game.There was an ad for the game, as well as a "thank you" poster, hanging in Shibuya Station for the past week. Both were also approved by MGCM devs.Wiki article about the posters: https://appmedia.jp/magicami/77308583Related blog post from the fighting game team: https://note.com/koagura/n/ne7959aa777f4BOOTH shop where you can buy the poster: https://mgcm-studiobu.booth.pm/I haven't tried MGCMCE yet, but it looks like it's made in MUGEN. I'm interested in seeing how balanced it is, considering they've been playtesting it for a couple of years.Game trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzNpC_lWOGUGame wiki: https://gamerch.com/mgcmce/
>>1323703Yeah I think I'll donate some after I get paid>>1323887kino
The game may be offline, but the girls will live on forever
By the way, Kaori's sister is one of the characters who is part of the unreleased data they mentioned. Bout time
>>1324565Too bad we couldn't get a threesome scene with her
For those that played global what did you think of the new event? And the event h scene of Aka nd Kaori?
>>1288171That was hot. Is there any other beast in the game?
There are a few JP fans I follow on Twitter, and one of them mentioned wanting to do a novel. I wonder if there will be a boost in fan content now since the game existed in a weird spot where it is prime for a bunch of AU stories, but it also seems that h content tends to leave little room to the imagination.
>>1325011The hm? I haven't played for a couple of weeks now, I missed something good didn't I
Seira is still my favorite, but I sometimes cycle through which of the girls I'm really into. Right now it is Mari. Shame that she is filled out everywhere except her butt. Seriously, it is like she is the only one that has a really flat butt. The tights she wears are nice at least.
I'll be purchasing the F course/50,000 yen option soon, and I was wondering which service would be the best for the physical merchandise? It isn't much, so I don't imagine the package weighing all that much.
https://twitter.com/Magicami_enhttps://www.youtube.com/@iammagicamiglobal9958 So far there still doesn't seem to be any official acknowledgement, either in game or via official channels, of what is going to happen to the global version. I wonder if it is just a simple case of not wanting to spook would be whales? I kind of wonder if there is some weird support contract in place where the global publisher that got signed before they decided to shut the game down which is forcing the global publisher to keep it up still. I highly doubt this is some weird move to swap publishers or some shit like that given the crowd funding for an offline mode and I don't really know of many cases where the original shut down before the global version. It is odd though that they are just making regular content announcements all things considered.On a practical level I also wonder how this would impact the release of the offline version globally. Assuming the offline version is finished fast enough that the global version isn't dead by then, would they run into issues releasing it globally?
>>1327075Yeah they probably don't wanna scare away the people that's still spending
>>1327075If it's anything like TABA Global,they basically bought distribution rights until EoS, so the game will end at the exact same time a year after, with some change.
>>1326937I recommend Blackship. They're more expensive than other services if you're only shipping a single package, but they're also the least likely to break your shit. I've used them to ship some incredibly fragile items over the years and they've always arrived undamaged.https://blackship.com/Unrelated, but this is one of the fragile items I shipped with them a couple of years ago. It was encased in so much bubble wrap that you probably could've dropped it off a building without it breaking.

which tier has the digital game?
>>1328044Thanks for the info!>>1328057 It would be the 15,000 yen package and up that has the game come with it.
>>1328044Man that artist can draw some pretty juicy-looking butts sometimes.
>>1328519Indeed. I'd love to see a doujin from him.
What is the artist's name?
>>1329133I don't know who does the promo images, but the creative director was a guy named GSK.https://twitter.com/__gsk__He's not all that active on social media, but he's posted a few MGCM sketches over the years that haven't ended up collected anywhere else. Examples:Marianne: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1132273515359494145#mEriza('s ass): https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1277919545622052865#mAka: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1409112812371156998#mMonster: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1152532964367990784#mEriza: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1191409416991465472#mHanabi: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1192482138689396736#mCocoa: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1195744401680527360#mKim/Nana: https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1276479229853437952#mHere's a stream where he went over a bunch of concept art, cohosted by some vtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5QL73gMy5kPixiv, last updated in 2014: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/138847
>>1329686Also, this is the guy who created all the animated DX scenes. He posts a ton of R18 MGCM art, but the guy basically lives on Twitter, so you'll have to sort through a bunch of shit to find them.https://twitter.com/momomanji
Thanks guys, appreciate this
Is there anything I should know about before contributing to the crowdfunding beyond using a service to ship physical merchandise? Can I just use a credit card or do I need to mess around with jap payment systems? I assume I can't just use something like paypal to make it simple. I've heard stories about jap websites and payment systems being pretty archaic but hopefully this isn't too bad.
>>1330637Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I actually did see PayPal as an option. Even if that wasn't the case, you should still be able to use your card. Just be wary of potential foreign transaction fees, but a lot of cards don't have them. And when they do, it is often a very small one. I think the only other thing would be that the shipped has already sailed on having your name appear in the final credits roll.
>>1326712>>1330093I do love how I was talking about Mari's butt being flat and then others post examples of the other girls having large rears. What a society we live in.
>>1330637>>1330806>Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I actually did see PayPal as an optionI finally went ahead and contributed, and while I don't know the full details, PayPal is indeed an option. As an addendum, there is a small fee the platform itself charges (I was charged like 1200 yen), but I don't think that was due to a foreign transaction.
>>1329686>https://nitter.1d4.us/__gsk__/status/1277919545622052865#mEliza's swimsuit will always be the GOAT for me. Wish I could properly rip it with boob sliders and stuff
>>1331637This is probably the best costume in the game. Only the Taimanin costumes can compare imo.
>>1331637The best hands down, nothing can compare. You don't have to rip it, it'll be in the offline game>boob slidersHuh? You mean the speed slider?
>>1335080Okay, so have you ever noticed how all the girls in MGCM can wear the exact same outfits while still maintaining their height and boob sizes and whatnot? I believe that's because they all use the exact same body models per costume, but the "skeletons" within said models have a system that deforms them using certain values to reflect a given girl's unique proportions. That system is basically what "sliders" are. I'm pretty sure Koikatsu, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and MMOs like FFXIV, PSO2 and BnS have similar systems.To put it another way: have you ever created a character in an MMO or Koikatsu or something? MGCM girls function in a similar way
>>1335329That doesn't matter really. You can use something like Ninja Ripper and it'll extract exactly what you see on the screen because it rips the assets from the ram. You'll be able to get all the girls with every costume (available) with no issue.
>>1335329>I believe that's because they all use the exact same body models per costume, but the "skeletons" within said models have a system that deforms them using certain values to reflect a given girl's unique proportions.So thats how it works? I have always wondered abou that since it would've been a pain to make models for each of the girls. There is some overlap, but I think only like a handful you can say have the same exact body model.Also, we are now at over 102 million yen. I think we may fall just slightly short of the 105, but it is crazy that the crowdfunding raised nearly twice the original goal.
>>1335329There is exceptions to that rule, see the cow costumes and Eliza's detective dress.
>>1335626True, but those are very deliberate. And at least for the cow series, it does still seem that the increases are proportional to the original sizes to the point where Aka and Cocoa are a bit cursed
>>1335784Compare this,
>>1335788To this.
>>1335788>>1335791
Wow. We actually did it. All the stretch goals have been met for the crowdfunding campaign.
>>1337632Nice
>>1337632So when is the projected release then ? I was wondering if the guy compiling the scenes into an archive would finish before the official one comes.
>>1339047For the offline version release, they gave a window of September 2024 with other backer rewards rolling out in February.
>>1339118>September 2024that's a long time
>>1339118 I see, so entierly possible we get the scene archive before if that's still worked on (although it would require stuff to already have been saved since JP EoSd, or waiting for EN releases.) Good to know, thanks.
Damn, now they have literally raised twice the original amount.>>1339359Yeah. I have absolutely no knowledge of how these things work, so it isn't impossible that aside from getting the administrative stuff done, they have to reprogram some stuff.>>1339454Quite possibly. I have no clue what they plan to do with global going forward, but it would be interesting if they purposely lined up the EOS for global with the release of the offline version.Either way, as it stands now, global will still have a few more months at least before there is not anymore translated material.
10 hours left to pledge, in case anyone wants to get in who hasn't done so yet.https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/696164
I don't understand the gacha options, why are the first three (the one wihh the main characters of the history) only with paid gems, should I roll the other ones? Started yesterday, should I ditch this because it will die or something?
>>1344438Time to let go, anon
Grand total: 143,828,442 JPY5662 supporters, 261% funded
>>1344878lol>>1300473
>>1344438They are kickstart gacha options, essentially limiting dresses you can get to a particular pool. If I recall correctly at this point of the game Takeraho is the most interesting but with Magifest on, this might be irrelevant. Wait for a better answer but I'd say ignore the paid ones. As for the ditching part, we have like, a year of content left normally ? I'd say stay a bit, and then decide to bail or not depending on how you liked it.
>>1344878I hope they make more with the IP after this.
>>1345315Anecdotal, but I have seen a few JP fans talk about doinf things like novels and I've already seen some fan art (both real and AI), so at the very least, interest is still there and can keep spreading since there will still be a tangible version to access.Either way, raising about 1 million is insane and if the series will attract attention just from that.
According to the newest Campfire update, the campaign exceeded the stretch goals by so much that they're internally discussing using the funds to offer another return to supporters. No details yet.https://camp-fire.jp/projects/696164/activities/529185#mainRelevant passage:また、ストレッチゴールを大きく上回るご支援をいただきましたので、何らかの形で還元できますよう、社内で検討させていただければと思います!発表までお時間いただいてしまうかもしれませんが、こちらもぜひ楽しみにお待ちいただけたらと思います。
Is there a mega or drive with all the scenes in one place?
>>1346627As of yet, no. There was a guy doing an archive with some help that is still around, but IIRC it stopped at the second Taimanin event. I believe he's the one who said he was around saving things when the EoS was announced, but nothing since. There's also uploads on some video sites, but not sure where these came from.
>>1345803I'd rather they use that money on the game itself
I wonder what are they gonna do about the VA changes
https://twitter.com/mgcmkyomu/status/1726938887434703297
shit, i just found out about this game not knowing it's gonna EOS soon... is it too late to get into this series?
>>1355430You can still read the story I guess
Weird, I was hovering around silver for Sabbath all week last week and had to actually put in a bit more effort. May just be a coincidence, but I do wonder if global may be catching a few strays from JP. I know at least a few of them are aware of global still going on.>>1355430I'd say it is still worth it since the time investment isn't the exact sameas other gacha games, and the layer story parts pretty much have very few combat sections. You also are able to get episode keys which unlocks story chapters and other content (with the exception of collabs), and these unlocks don't require you to complete the stages. The bigger time investment at this point would be getting caught up with every piece of story and character episode since there is a lot at this point.
I'm happy as long as Iroha and the girls can be preserved relatively unscathed.
>>1355749I'd still say having an unofficial archive alongside the upcoming official one would be better. Just in case.
>>1358093Yeah but that anon has been gone for like a year, and he was the one compiling everything including the collab scenes which won't be in the offline version.
I am once again complaining about Superbia having barely any scenes. Fuck you Cyber Agent.
>>1349129>the VA changesthe what now?
>>1358709Magicami had several VA changes, Akisa and Hanabi are the most blatant ones but I still liked the new ones
>>1358398Yeah, but I can hope.To not make this post useless, we have now hit "endgame" on chapter 3, and I'm honestly left with more questions than answers. I'm guessing they'll be answered, but in case that one isn't : Are Lynx and Mao the same person, or a case of AU versions memories seeping into another ?
late Christmashttps://twitter.com/JACK10706227/status/1738971193133441397
An update post on the Campfire site yesterday has some details on what they've implemented in the offline version so far. Nothing new, but it included a screenshot of the main screen with the Sabbath button removed. There's also a couple of pictures of a functional Studio mode.Update viewable here if you're a backer: https://camp-fire.jp/projects/696164/activities/538256?utm_campaign=696164
>>1369482I really need to know what the resolution options are. I wanna appreciate these models in 4K.
>>1369523Also regarding an english release they can just use AI translation
>>1360687Well, with the event over : nope, still have more questions than answers. The only real answer of this story sequence was "Vivian is indeed a version of Akisa". Welp.

I don't suppose any of you will be in Tokyo on the 3rd of February this year and would like to go to the irl event in my stead (for a small fee of course)?I only bought that support package because it was the cheapest one that had all the non-unique physical goodies. There's no way I'll be able to make it personally, so I would like to try and earn back a little bit of the extra money I spent.
Someone did some digging given the issues and late responses on global, and it looks like global will have its EOS near the end of January. Sucks, but is a lot less emotionally damaging since we are getting the offline version. Only thing would be that I wonder if there would be anyone willing to translate the content that won't be translated. May not be too big a deal since I guess there is machine translating which isn't utterly terrible these days, and I assume that there may be some leeway with modifying since. Either way, it is a bit rare for there to not be a giant gap with localized content like this, and it still amazes me that the crowdfunding got around 1 million usd.
>>1372503Makes sense I guess. At least they finished last years story.
>>1372503No announcement yet, for some reason. Gonna be honest and say it kinda sucks to have the EOS come this month and they aren't even being upfront with it yet. Even worse would be that JP got at least a whole month before the end came. Only thing that is very much cope is that something is happening behind the scenes. Who knows, maybe they will license the offline version. I would actually really like that, and I feel like even though it seems to be a vastly different build that they could import the translations over without too much hassle.
>>1374026I double-checked, it looks like Mist Train Girls had their global EOS'd with 22 days of notice (announcement Mar 9, EOS Mar 31), so not wildly out of character for Johren/Nutaku. But in MTG's defense, there was a good year of no updates, so you could at least see it coming. I can only imagine how upset I'd be if I wasn't already aware based on the JP server's status. That said, I would absolutely shell out for an ENG TL of the offline version, if that's what's in the works. I'm just not expecting it.
Mh, great, now I have one less reason to even go on Nutaku. Probably for the best. So, do we archive stuff ?
>>1374426>So, do we archive stuff ?Sure, if you have all the JP scenes.
>>1374426i just want an archive of model dataat least for lilly
>>1374426The only archival effort I am aware of is spearheaded by an anon that we have not heard from in a year. If you'd like to download what they managed to upload, see https://sukebei.nyaa.si/user/HanabiHanabiHanabiIt's obviously too late to start archiving JP scenes (if you have them already, good for you) but if you want to try your hand at recording some of the EN content, check against what's already uploaded. I'll be doing the same when I have spare time this week.
>>1374026Not just a full monthEOS for japan was announced on 23/08/23game only closed on 31/10/23.They had over 2 months, 69 days form announcement to server closing and I remember they also imediately closed the paid jewelsLooking like we'd have under 3 weeks, and I doubt theyd refund ongoing monthly packs.Seems only hope atm is somehow nutaku fighting to hold onto it and make a zombie game out of it which can be argued if it wouldnt be an even worse fate...
>>1374534I believe that they are still compiling a bunch of content even when JP was around. They just haven't uploaded them yet. I won't pretend that there is no reason to want archived stuff right away even with the offline version coming since there will be a few things left out, but I do want to mention that the offline version will also have studio mode for those who want the models. In fact, as seen here, >>1371111, it looks like a few fans have already gotten the models and have been using them.Also, slightly a tangent, but I keep forgetting that the offline version will also be on sale since contributors will already be getting a key. Wonder if this will be a high seller since it will basically be sort of like a visual novel like some on the Discord have said. And there is arguably a lot more content too even without the battles. Imagine it getting on Steam. Would probably be easier than the other literal eroge on there since the h content has never been overly tied to this game.
>>1374539Yeah, I severely low balled how much time. EOS coming isn't weird. What is weird would be that it looks like it wasn't announced even on CN like I thought earlier today. It is apparently the data mine that they are talking about.I also feel like the end of last year would've been a perfect way to end early if they didn't want to do that with the anniversary event JP had last year.
This is mostly unprompted, but I still do plan on making new threads when appropriate. Even without the project updates, there are still things to discuss and fan works that are still bring made. I still want to eventually do some analysis on the characters, but I don't know when that would be.
>>1372503It came sooner than I expected. Well, I've not been playing since October I think, just logging in to wank occasionally.All good things must come to an end. Been a fun ride
>>1374908>This is mostly unprompted, but I still do plan on making new threads when appropriate.Catch you guys then I guess
>>1374962This thread isn't being closed down right now. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that a new one will be made whenever this one gets archived.
It is official.
>>1375881Kinda scummy it took so long. Lots of people have said it already, but it really sucks that they couldn't do anything like JP did. Oh well. Though, looking at some responses on the Discord, I get the impression that some people don't know about the offline version.I go back to what I already said and hope that the offline version gets big. Especially since I think the SFW will be the "main" one (as in the more easily accessible one) with the DX version to be sent out separately.
Now I'm wondering if the offline version will have the farewell stories since those were kinda more on the meta side, and the story will finish up with the audio drama.
>>1375900It depends where they sell it. I also hope it sells very well, need more of these girls.
>>1375913What were the farewell stories like? I missed the whole JP EOS drama.
>>1377383I only heard about Cocoa & Aka. Cocoa I think had her graduate and think about her future as a fashion designer (I think). With Aka, people said that it went into some of her psychology and made some subtexual things more apparent, like issues of self worth. Maybe someone has already archived them, but it was a bit of a shame they weren't talked about more. Random guess, but maybe the game not dying a bloody death and not being sentenced to obscurity dulled the bittersweetness of the farewell episodes. That, and the game has already featured a bunch of stories about possible futures.Speaking of character psychology, I'm looking through the Discord, and I always thought that it was easy for some to miss the complexities of each of the girls
Just in case anyone missed it, things aside from just the main story are being targeted as well for the offline version. Basically, everything aside from collaborations, online functionality, and the combat are planned to be in.I mention this since someone else thought they may leave out things like the birthdays, and it would've been a shame to lose some of the extra dialogue/stories.
>>1377903Nice
>>1377383someguy in the discord posted some machine translated screenshots and a synopsis for each Aka and Cocoa. Attached image is Cocoa's synopsis.
>>1378296and here's one of the snaps
>>1377844and here are those epilogue stories, in video (jp)https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHPnTS-qpF-cqUqwDLAfKgWUfankT3tmq
>>1378303Cool, thanks!I didn't realize the demons got farewell stories too.
>>1378303Thank you for the post.
I wonder if the studio owns the IP now.
>>1378735Unclear, like a lot of things behind the EoS. I think it's the better outcome if they do, but who knows.
>>1378744Yeah, I want more after the main story ends.
Would someone mind sharing a quick synopsis of what happened in JP after the end of the Global story?
Seems like it's winding down here. Remember: don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
I wish I gave the game another shot after I heard they improved the translations
It was fun
>>1383458Indeed.
Someone ran Seira's farewell scene through machine translation. Not gonna lie, feels a bit more bittersweet than Cocoa's but not really surprising given how Seira was in the early chapters. Easy to forget since all the girls became better people and whatnot, but stillhttps://discord.com/channels/715078145774059561/715078146294284310/1198623174959575142
I believe they posted an update on the crowdfunding page
>>1383458>>1383701Yeah, it was. Here's hoping the offline version is good, and in the meantime maybe the anon >>1374534 mentions will step up given this is a full EoS now ? I'll check these threads time to time, thanks to everyone who was in the club to the end.
Does anyone here have access to or seen the TAIMANIN and PRISON BATTLESHIP Event Stories anywhere online?
>>1386380Interesting. Maybe we will end up getting the offline version sooner rather than latter. Gotta say, I am really curious what was in their contracts and who the IP belongs to. I think they did mention something about part of the crowdfunding funds being used for things like licenses so I wonder if they had to pay to even get this started.Anyway, I feel like I should be acrambling to watch everything, but there is just so much. I guess I feel less pressure due to the offline version and people aside from Anon doing some archival. I'll still miss the studio mode, though.
Man, I should really look into getting the first art book. I already have the second one that was released last year (the one that has Lux and Cocoa on it), but the first one seems a bit hard to find brand new. Also, it is always interesting looking back at the earlier stages of development. Especially when the Takeraho girls seem to have been latter additions.Is it actually true that the game was originally going to be a visual novel?
>>1388419delicious riri
>>1388419hot af
>>1388419Where did you order the second book from?
>>1389660I got it from Amazon straight from the publisher a few months ago, but I think it is sold out now.
>>1389798Speaking of which, I've actually had the two light novels digitally for a while now, and I was debating on if I should get them physically too.https://amzn.asia/d/3IcuruMhttps://amzn.asia/d/cM1DefWKindle's own translator seems half way decent so it is possible to try to read a machine translation, but it still annoys me how characters like Aka have their names read as something different like "Tan". I do wonder if it's possible to train an AI to fix itself by feeding it scripts as to how these characters would talk or at least know how to refer to different things.
>>1390402Depending on the price, it's better to buy it and regret it than not buy it and regret it.
The dream ends at midnight(EST). I wonder if we'll ever see another H-gacha with as much effort put into it as MGCM
>>1392421Honestly? Kinda doubt it. Even without this being an H game, it has high production values and differs from a bunch of other gachas and even visual novels.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHCf6sjBgoGood night sweet prince.
GG everyone.
It's been fun, I'll miss this game.
I know this is a few years late but>I never recorded Riri's scenes with the original VAFuckWelcome to waiting for the finished compilation global-anons.>>1392421Kyounyu Fantasy Burst has some very thorough animated h-scenes, but the rest of the game runs rather poorly. Most Kuma-san games tend to have good animation. I don't think I've found one that has a separate viewer that lets you play with animation itself however.Story-wise, I don't know. Nobody else does this sort of multi-universe setting where your girls have different lives/situations in alternate universes and uses that as a main part of the story. Nobody really does a fixed cast either, if they do, it's only a handful of girls that get revisited for seasonal limiteds....most of these aren't available in English either.
>>1392421I heard Legeclo: Legend Clover is pretty good, but I haven't played it myself.
Goodbye Magicami, I'll miss you.
>>1393000>lillybased
This isn't the end, anons. I can feel it.
>>1394174If the original Fate/stay night visual novel can finally get an official remaster released outside of Japan, anything is possible.Also, while I assume most anons here visit the offcial Discord, lots of people have been doing archival work. A few people have even uploaded content to YouTube.Also also, MGCM got a reward from Campfire for the successful crowdfunding campaign. Hopefully that brings more attention to it.I do wish that I played around with the studio mode for prosperity, but the EOS announcement kinda depressed me even with the offline version coming. At least studio mode is planned to be included.

>>1394236I tend to avoid most Discord related things, can you link those archives ?
>>1394781https://youtube.com/@LuxuriaTheBestMGCM?si=Tg-FEdZeFfS59M4Nhttps://youtube.com/@redscizor?si=TWMaJLIT3cd5oa89https://www.eporner.com/profile/IkoMyBeloved/uploaded-videos/ (NSFW)The first one is constantly updating with the main story already being done. I think they are focusing on the events now. The second one looks to mostly have extras like studio interactions. The last one focuses on the dress stories and the accompanying h scenes.
>>1394236I'm assuming NA will get some sort of translation at some point. Far worse eroge have gotten translations that were then thrown up onto Steam.
https://twitter.com/MGCM_official/status/1753647722228514818
>>1395847Not even just eroge. Straight up nukige have found their way on Steam. And even without the SFW version of the offline being the "main" one (I think thry mentioned that the NSFW will have a different download or something), this game easily separates it to where it stands on its own.>>1397155We stan a short queen. Wonder how she feels considering all the other third years are on the taller side.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KlCLXvsaJGZ1lat7m3uAhb_UKFr6K6i4Bl4Gqwn4yK4/This be some kind of joke.
>>1402552OK but why didn't you tell them to fix it ?>>1394833Also, thanks, seems the third one has a lot of stuff but is incomplete, the user does seem active tho.
>>1402726I think they mentioned on the main Discord that they have finished. There is another user who has most of the content but is still deciding if/when/how to release it.Semi related, but does anyone who has a background in this stuff know who hard it would be to rip the scripts from the global version and swap them when the offline version comes? I'm curious if the workload would be less since this game had an official localization.Also, is anyone else here a backer? Some on Discord seem to have the thought that nobody outside of Japan is one since there was concern that there would be no way of getting access.
>>1403417>swap scriptsA Unity technician would probably be able to do it>accessYou could buy it on FANZA/DMM with a VPN or wait til it drops on Nyaa. Planned release is around October, just be patient
What's this game about lads, is it a rhythm mobile game like i envisioned in my head?
>>1404516I think you're in the wrong thread, anon
somebody post screenshots of the Kaorin dialogue after this scenewhere she laments she'll never again hear Iroha's voice...hear Iroha's laugh...see Iroha's smile.; _ ;
>>1410014at least Nemesis got her redemption
I saw some nice vids with the redhead Aki(?) I think and got really interested but I guess she also NTRs you with monsters and gangbangs and stuff? Little disappointing since what I saw of her and the main guy was really sweet.
>>1412073alternate universe bs
Any offline news?
>>1413722I did hear that the unreleased data should be available for backers on the 28th of February.
>>1413769Here is the profile of one of the unintroduced girls. The background they have for her is kinda dark, not gonna lie.
>>1415367
>>1415370Was she gonna be another demon girl?
>>1415373Another magical girl, but I think from the alternate world we saw in that origin event last year. The one that had Quantum.
>>1415378Hopefully she'll appear in the offline version
>>1412073Like half of it is cuckshit, don't bother if that's not your thing
M... my m-magicamis...
>>1417604girls...
>>1417606they're all GONE
>>1412073I had a more thorough response to this but deleted it since it's not really worth explaining every time. And I started wanting to watch scenes I neglected to record.The demon/monster girls are technically the other girls.The MC takes on a different role in each story (if he even exists in that story) and the h-scenes are never related to each other and are showing a good end or a bad end for that particular story - which you can't normally view anyway for context.>>1415367>The background they have for her is kinda darkEveryone had some sort of messed up background but I think Iroha and Iko had the most normal backgrounds.>LeftyI see what you mean. Though I guess she's not part of the original "possibilities" with that background and being in a separate world.
>>1419681>Everyone had some sort of messed up background but I think Iroha and Iko had the most normal backgrounds.Yeah. Even the token "vanilla" school group isn't exactly sunshine. They don't always draw attention to it for some of them, but it is definitely still there. It is sort of a shame we never got more of Aka and Ao's family. I think they and maybe Akisa are the only ones where we don't get that much, which is weird considering their situation.As for the the unreleased blonde girl who I guess is named Yanagi Yuzuki (based on the kanji and the accompanying hiragana), take this with a grain of salt since this is using machine translation, but her deal is something about her father dying by either suicide or homicide by Yuzuki or her mother (translation unclear) with her apparently being happy that it happened since daddy was alcoholic and a gambler. And her father may have also attempted to molest her? Even if he didn't some guy from school did try to do that, and all of this resulted in her not liking men and preferring women romantically.
>>1419698>spoilersOh, I could've told you that, I was making a dumb joke.Father: Became a fleeter/parttimer after being let go from an engineering job. Wasted away money on gambling and booze. At some point started molesting her and eventually raped herMother: Was working part-time at a grocery store to cover for the wastfeulness of the father. Killed the father over distress, commits suicide thereafter. She thinks her mother did this to protect herAt school: One invites her to his house and rapes herThis all results in her hating men and liking cute girlsThere's some more details like mannerisms.I don't know if there was anything more to do with Aka and Ao's family. You know that they are twins right? but to separate fathers. I believe this was what usually caused Aka to not return home on occasion, to avoid conflict. Didn't really get into Ao's stories much, so I don't know if there wasn't something else being told there.
>>1419698>>1419729That's honestly kind of hot.
>>1419729>You know that they are twins right? but to separate fathers.Yeah, thats why its weird that it isn't talked about that much even in the darker stories like the Xeno ones. I feel like their entries on that Xeno Crypto site do a lot more with it.https://xeno.mgcm.studio/magicami/akaohtori/https://xeno.mgcm.studio/magicami/aoohtori/Also, thanks for clarifying the parts of new girl's story. Yeesh, it wasn't even "just" attempted. Pretty terrible all around, and a bit of a shame that we couldn't see more of this new world line. Definitely wanted to see more of Quantum.One last thing; here is the zip that someone dropped in the discord with profiles for some other characters, including that Hoshino girl. There is even some information about James, and it is pretty fleshed out. Mar Mar's parents are in there too, but there isn't much extra compared to what we already knew.https://anonymfile.com/2pONl/f29a65cdeea1b677.zip
>>1419736Honestly I don't want them to drop any of this and want the game fully uncensored so I'm just gonna buy it in DLSite if they sell it there.
We could have potentially had lots of futa or tentacles/monsters, damn shame.
>>1419729>>1419736Dispelling misinformation.Father: 身体を触るようになり、ある日強姦未遂までKeyword 未遂, so attempted, but clearly not successful.Classmate: 行為を行おうと迫られ、乱暴されたAgain, tried to get her in bed and roughed her up, but vague wording on how far it went or if she escaped the worst of it.>QuantumHer name is written 量子(Ryoushi - direct translation is quantum) but pronounced Ryouko. She's a sort of progenitor to Tobio/Isana in the Origin timeline, but that's obvious from her surname and artwork.
>>1276294Don't worry fren, it will get better.Wheter I want it or not, a.i. tech will get better.
>>1423032Hopefully we'll still be alive when AI gets good enough to do the shit we'd want to do with it. preferably with our dicks intact
>>1423043By that point we likely will have some sort of brain tech to feel the same thing even with a permanently limp dick.The real catch is keeping your heart OK.Unless your surname is Soros, you only have one and no quick replacements for it.
Still awaiting the offline version
Qrd please? Dead already?
>>1423976huh? what do you mean?
>>1422745Thanks for the clarification. Still tough all around, and it is strangely ironic that this kind of back story is only now being used when the series had a much edgier phase back in the day.
The physical return gifts have been sent out. I think most people should have gotten the gifts by now, but it'll take longer for me since I need to have it shipped to my country.
>>1424145NvmAlready dead
>>1328044Thanks again for the recommendation. The service is not cheap on the surface, but it isn't exactly outlandish when looking at all the fees other third party places charge on top of the shipping itself. I was happily surprised to get 2 shirts, so I may actually wear one of them from time to time.

I remember a while ago that someone did an animation with Marianne and used one of those meme songs. Anyone has a link to that video?
I just noticed the Magicami artist nuked his socials.
>>1439704I'll post it once I fix my PC. It was the last thread iirc.
Any news?
>>1446371Not too much, no. There was a party held a while ago for certain campaign backers where they showed a few things (and also had a Cocoa cut out), but not too much else. I did hear someone say something about the studio doing another project, but I think that may have been a baseless rumor. Would be happy to be wrong, though.Aside from that, they finally released high resolution pictures of the demon kings.Also, the official unofficial Discord has a few things in the archives thread for some of the unreleased data. It may not mean much necessarily, but there were sketches of a new line called Last Magica. Sort of reinforces that the story was going to end in the next year or so, so we thankfully didn't miss out on huge amounts of story.
>>1450810And they release a developer diary soon after this. Anyway, everything seems to be going smoothly with them still aiming for September. They aim to finish development by the end of May and spend the rest of the time debugging.Most of the features are already done, too. Some things to note would be that Omnis enhancement is in along with "jewel related functions" and plans for a gacha feature. I think the only thing that hasn't been explicitly mentioned in the diary would be those special expedition quests. Aside from that and the combat, looks like everything is in. Even a sound player and what I assume is the gift giving side thing.I think the only issue they are reporting would be long load times for the dress list due to how it used to be done through the server. But they are working on shortening the load time.
>>1450924Cool. Yeah the loading times was extremely noticeable especially in the web version.
>>1281874>Makai Tenshi DjbrilI'm still mad the third season was never completed and the fourth game was never adapted.
I still wonder if they had to re-record the voices
>>1309514>It's very unlikely this is getting on Steam They are extremely prudish around loli contentSome eroge with loli content released last month on Steam, something about living with little sister or some such.
>>1452752Imouto Life Monochrome? It doesn't have sexual content, you have to patch it in
>>1452781>you have to patch it inSo? They could do the same for Magicami on Steam.
>>1452784I doubt they even know what Steam is
>>1452791DMM and nutaku both publish on Steam.
>>1452799It's better if the studio self-publishes it otherwise DMM/Nutaku would get a cut of the sales
I do want to mention that the version that will be front facing would be the vanilla version. The DX version will be released through an emailed code. In other words, when considering how there was already a SFW version, I don't think they would have trouble publishing it widely. The issue would be if they want to publish on other fronts.
I am still madDiscovered this game just when it was about to dieAngry bump
>>1457890Just wait for the offline version anon
>>1427457I miss them so muchWhich is to say once every two weeks or so>>1440733Fuck
>>1452799Yeah and there's a used car dealership selling Toyota in my town, doesn't mean that Miyamoto who installs the engines in the Japanese factory knows of it's existance
Where I will get more of marianne now, at least there is the offline version to look forward too.
>>1460644You could always commission more art
