Shiravune announced yorou, no? https://x.com/shiravune/status/1804695872011157720
>>47164193I was convinced MG would announce this and that they hinted at it this year, interesting.
>>47164193Way to destroy a nukige. Clockup VNs have always a good translation and were mosaics free, now...
>>47164193I am surprised at the fact Shiravune managed to get this before MG. I am starting to think it might be because MG is too busy with Rance to get much out in a timely manner.
I am going to guess JAST, MG and Shiravune are going to be at the Anime Expo this year?
>>47164744Don't think Shira has ever done an actual panel.
>>47164744The AX schedule for VN panels looks like this.
>>47165026The hype is real
>>47164193Turns out that it's release date is September 30th, and will be censored with Mosaics for 20$. This also has the Fandisc version sold separately for 15$. There is a pre order discount on MG. It's also on Steam. I do have to wonder if this will be the game case as usual where it's censored on Steam but there will need to be an 18+ patch off site or if Steam does not care on this due to its violent nature.
>>47165026>Why Steam sucks for VNI would say it sucks overall because of the fact not only is it not transparent about VN's but when it's rejected there is no way to appeal the decision and there is bias against even the most vanilla scenarios and fanservice when it comes to the wrong approval person. Only other option is GOG.
>>47166910Also I forgot to mention Dungeon Travelers 1 and 2 being denied but the To Heart version managing to get on is ridiculous.
>>47166837>censored with Mosaicsso like japanese version>for 20$. much cheaper than japanese version>Fandisc version sold separately just like japanese version>for 15$much cheaper than japanese version
>>47168361the fandisc is too expensive. main game price looks good, but i've no idea about the quality of the vn itself. the premise isnt too promising.
How good is DEAD Days? I was hyped to read it but that was years ago not sure I really care about it. I also assume the other one that just got localized is worse than DD
>>47168419bad. clockup havent made a good game since 2015
>>47168415>the fandisc is too expensivecosts 27$ in japan, so idk why you crying about price
>>47168441this is not japan, western otakus are more poor and less idiotic.
>>47168452costs 50% less here compared to japan price
>>47168475they should have raised the main game price to 25 and cut off the fandisc to 10. and offered a 30 bucks bundle. cant believe i gotta teach basic marketing to a shill.
>>47168485I'm not a shill, I just want to watch dumb entitled eops making retarded excuses
>>47168530>btw im a jopclearly no entitlement here
>>47169050I don't identify myself as jop since I shitpost in english on english language imageboard
>>47169420didn't ask attention seeking tranny
>>47169436Didn't ask if you asked or not, my entitled eop friend.
>>47165026No JAST industry panel?How else am I supposed to find out that Sumaga has been delayed again for over 15+ years now?!
>>47169568>No JAST industry panel?
>>47164426MG is dead, just wait for them to release all the Rance titles left before going bankrupt
>>47165026"Why steam sucks for visual novels" seems like a discussion that's 5 years too late. If even fantia/dlsite/DMM are forced to give up on american payment processors then what are the chances of an american company based in america ever becoming more tolerant of this stuff. The whole world is currently retarded and treats 2D eroticism like a human rights violation, valve were arguably smart to get on the train early to avoid any lawsuits.
>>47169617>>47170225Glad to see jast is full of shit and double standards as usual, imagine talking about how steam sucks while begging people to wishlist your shitty vn on steam
>>47170344Cry more Shirashill
>>47170225In practice, for VNs the biggest problem with Steam has been the random perma-bans (which Valve seemed to have backed off for roughly a year after the Chaos;Head rejection, but have started up again) rather than the variable content restrictions, something like Muramasa could have easily been resubmitted with whatever content Valve happened to object to had it not got perma-banned. After that, the next biggest problem would be the unexplained extended review process when a reviewer just doesn't want to move things along (it took NekoNyan months to be told that their first submitted build of Aoi Tori was too "incomplete" by the reviewer who reviewed it).Though yeah, obviously things are never going back to the period when Evenicle was allowed on the platform uncensored.
>>47170812The main problem with Steam is that it lets shitty companies like SakuraGame, Shiravune, etc keep operating despite fucking with the fan base simply because the chinks save their ass.
>>47170853NekoNyan too would have been long dead over their dumb meme translations if not for Steam.
>>47166916dungeon travelers 1 is the toheart version bakayou mean 2 and 2-2
>>47165026Will anyone have lolis?
>>47171636there's the yuzuge, no idea when they will manage to release it though.
>>47170853>>47170869Weird backwards logic. If not for Steam nothing would get translated. Your purist asses are not the audience, you're just the scraps
>>47168361I am the original poster you are commenting on. I never said that these were bad, but just the messenger of the news and the pricing for those who do not know much about the VN and the price. There are people who wonder these questions about Mosaics, Pricing and Release Date, if there is a pre-order etc. >>47170344Wow they have a Guilded. That is awesome. Honestly it's the best alternative to Discord as long as it does not merge with Roblox.
>>47170225>>47170812 I can agree Valve's lack of transparency, the lack of appeals, the lack of trying to help legitimate VN creators get on Steam is annoying. >>47171543lol correct i forgot about that. I had it in reverse. I just wish Aquaplus would try to put it on Switch/GOG/JAST/MG so that way it can have a chance to sell really well. But i have a feeling that we may see a DT3 and potentially a work around with a Remake of DT2-2 and 2 with some Live2D movement of the flat sprites to get back on all platforms in the future.
>>47172149the first VN translation was Nekopara, thank you dovac-sama
>>47172963>There are people who wonder these questions about MosaicsEveryone knows shira only releases stuff with mosaics
>>47171636No
>>47168361>just like japanese versionThat's the problem, ClockUp offered to MG the superior uncensored images which Shira can't accept by law as they're based in Tokyo.
Nitroplus is going all age with AI translations https://twitter.com/ErogeAreAlive/status/1805861784307356139
>>47182317I can't believe that Nitro+ is fucking dead
>>47182317I wonder if this means that JAST is no longer going to be publishing the VN's from them or if this means JAST publishes all the VN's but beyond that it means that it will be self published by Nitro+
>>47183130It's not like they still had a lot of new titles to translate. If they can work on the older ones it won't really make a difference who owns them.
>>47186805Big corpo goes "Why should we share profits with JAST, when we can just dump it on Steam with AI tll and the losers will eat it up. And even thanks us for it"
>>47182317I don't understand what the tweet have to do with AI translation and all-ages, a bigger company bought Nitro+
>>47188237The company that bought Nitro operates an AI localization center https://twitter.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1805834907924476242
>>47187014>>47188861If they have proofreading then that's an improvement over localizatin

>>47189724If it's used as a base to start off, then sure. But an edit pass is STILL needed. Just look at this: >>47189698
>>47189742No reason edited MTL can't be good, especially considering modern language models and if the text is simple - which it is, since it's a moenukige.>spreadsheetUh-oh. Wonder if he just moved it elsewhere to avoid trolls or these issues are still in
>>47189755Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it got a pass and that isn't in the current patch version, surely that guy can't be this autistic. I'd dive into the script files to check but not home rn
>>47189761in order to be good you need someone who knows japanese, but then editing mtl turns into partial re-translation, which costs too much efforts and meaningless if you have person like this to begin with, for fantl that's itsome companies trying to save money this way, they hire mtl proofreader who still does translation but at much lower rate than actual translator>>47189761>Uh-oh.

>CyberAgent (the parent company of Cygames) has acquired Nitroplus. It purchased 72.5% of its stocks for 16.4 billion JPY (around $102 million). [Thanks, 4Gamer!]>Nitroplus will be allowed to maintain its work culture, as well as continue to release works in genres it’s interested in. CyberAgent letting the workers do so is part of why Nitroplus accepted the offer. Another reason is because becoming a subsidiary of CyberAgent would let Nitroplus focus on content creation and production, and is better for the overall stability of the company’s future.Will this change anything?
>>47182317does this include their nitro+ classic studio that they split off a while ago?
>>47189800>>47189698I checked the patch files since im not retarded enough to judge by an editable doc and quite obviously no such line is there
>>47189853Probably not. Nitroplus has basically stepped out of the VN market already and this acquisition is likely just for Touken Ranbu.
>>47189853Nope
>>47163150Destiny Star Girlfriend 3 announced.
With the problems getting it onto Steam and the late launch, Aoi Tori only managed to hit 10 concurrent users on Steam thus far. Purplesoft probably fucked over its sales by forcing an early off-Steam launch while the Steam release was still pending.
>>47200512okay steam shill.
>>47200512Why would that have an effect on sales?
>>47202519Less people will buy it on steam which makes it less likely to get on the New and Trending page, which means zero discoverability.
>>47200512aoi tori, like every other purple software, is shit. So nothing of value was lost.
>>47200512Splitting the release by 2 months definitely hurt them and not even including Japanese subtitles probably costed them more sales too.Shiravune seems to be the only publisher that works well with Purplesoft at this point.
>>47202562That is what people would think, but most JAST buyers are anti DRM/Steam fags, they would not buy it on Steam even if it was up there first for months.
>>47203181That's the reality. It's the reason Nekonyan aren't releasing Tenshi Souzou on other platforms yet, even though it's been ready for half a year.
>>47203181>most JAST buyersmost vocal discord freaks and reactionary incels*
Only the most slovenly and retarded cattle are willing to put up with the experience that they paid for being worse than the one of someone who simply pirates.
This is almost comical.
>>47208617Is this a shiravune release?
>>47208617The Poison nukige on steam are MTLs. They don't care about the quality because they are pushing the game on steam for chinese sales.
>>47209035jast
>>47210030Shira shills lying again
>>47210415
>>47210472Retarded Shira shill, that is not even close to the level of mistakes above, nor to the level of mistakes of almost every Shira game.
>>47211434> our blessed mistakes> their barbarous mistakes
>>47208617Which game? VNDB?
>>47211537Yamizome being the only problem you got to show says everything. Can pick any random game from your masters, and it will have a ton of problems.
>>47214912>ummm akshually this game doesn't count please pick another one!!11
>>47214924All minor mistakes, and never said it doesn't count. Every company fucks up at some point. The difference is for some it's rare, for others it is the every release.
