HYBRID BEING

Who's doing Love Cube? There's no info (yet?) on VNDB, and i can't seem to find any recent news about it on the net. On a different note, i stumbled upon this - says sprite is not doing well (as in indefinitely terminating production of Aokana Extra 2 and Zwei, with a bankruptcy looming over), but there is a slight possibility of English release of Aokana (maybe?).

Just wanted to say that those NekoNyan guys sure know how to score some points with me. Releasing an original game with console content, fandisc and adult content intact in a single package is much appreciated. Did anyone read Fureraba already? How's the translation? Heard it's not bad, but somewhat liberal and heavy on swearing in places where there wasn't any.

Hm? Did i miss something?

Aren't most status updates on translations here come from 4chan though?

Never said otherwise. I'm probably just desensitized by the internet (hard to be bothered after you've read about Mai-chan's Daily Life (and yet still won't disregard the possibility)). That said, i can understand people liking yuri or DFC, and i can't understand them liking lolicon or guro, but as napoleon said - "Isn't it fine if every gets their kicks as long as no one gets hurt?" Anyway, i think we should stop discussing morals in VNs. Let's bash Steam instead It wasn't mentioned here, but Steam retracted all censorship notices and said it's going to "re-review" those visual novels th

Nah, i'm not trying to say yuri is as bad as lolicon nor i have a problem with people liking it (don't care about both, same for guro), it's just not up my valley, and i find it funny when in some discussions yuri/lolicon/DFC/anything else i don't like is assumed to be something everyone enjoys. I've mentioned Daitoshokan recently (been a year and a half since last update), but perhaps people are clinging to the glimmer of hope that it will see the light of the day

Haha, they both go the Ugly tier then. How refreshing to see people bashing lolicon. I know preferences and shit, but sometimes people talk about lolicon (or yuri ) like it's the most natural thing to like. For example, topic on Hajimete no Okaa-san's vndb discussion page.

Why put Hajimete no Okaa-san in a higher tier than Maitetsu though? Both are about fucking lolis but the latter is supposed to have some kind of a real plot at least (also delicious MILF).

It looks like SP got their hands on Zombie no Afureta Sekai de Ore Dake ga Osowarenai. Heard it was a kind of a sleeper hit, so i am a bit interested in it.

What was that joke? Everything will be releases JAST in time, right?

Tsundere Idol is out on Steam with free patch and JAST USA, btw. Latter doesn't seem to have regional price for RU region, though :C

On a topic of shit overdue for western release, i certainly wouldn't mind FSN or Tsukihime (or Mahoyo). Well, unlikely that would happen before we see the day Tsukihime Remake is out, lol.

Might as well remove Daitoshokan. It's been a year and a half since it finished editing. So close, though ;_;

I don't think all-ages versions are accessories to the adult ones. Quite the opposite, Steam is rather big source of income to abandon it just like that (heck, MoeNovel is not even bothering with adult content). Either companies will keep trying to comply with Steam vague guidelines or we are going back to pre-2012 way of things. Some discussions do seem to point to the Hot-Coffee-style patches as the main culprit, but i wonder about Kindred Spirits (sex scenes without genitals not fine for Steam after all? strangely the ordeal passed Gakhthun), Mutiny! (adult content is inside patch, so wh

Eh, i usually buy VNs on Steam, cause regional pricing. No way i can handle US prices. Not seeing your point here. Do you mean the fact that no adult version coming will cripple demand for all-ages versions? I think, it would give them less incentive to release adult versions and more reasons to censor stuff. Not sure how that would affect SP's Kickstarter-mania, either. I wonder is those DLSite games got notified by Valve as well, those seem to be greater offenders. That said, we still do not understand what is fine and what is not, sasuga Valve.

Use Bugmenot, Luke! Well, i think Ninja_Named_Bob summarized it pretty well on a 3rd page. NorzZ felt targeted (chiakisan is trying to buy 2nd on-going translation from him) and that chiakisan is trying to use him by getting his translation for "measly" $500 while aiming at huge profit, so he pretty much went into refusal the moment he heard the amount proposed. On the other hand, chiakisan was interested in not having fan-translation together with an official one (so it wouldn't hurt the sales), and tried to talk it out with NorzZ about what would be a fair agreement, willing to up the mo

I'd like to think that people came to understanding that buying out fan translations is better than C&Ds. Good publicity and low investment (if it works out).

@Dio Brando, Well, at least Phenogram renders ELITE not entirely useless. Oh, and Monmusu is out. I'm not really crazy about idle games, but it's free and has monster girls drawn by Sayori so...

And choices. How much of the original + Phenogram did anime cover though? I would imagine they'd have to do additional animation for everything else (or blatantly reuse existing). Besides, that would be the only official english Phenogram release.

They are probably too scared about Japanese getting their hands on demosaic patch (cause that would be a lot easier than importing Physical Edition). BTW, never seen this mentioned here, but Steins;Gate Senkei Kousoku no Phenogram got a Ren'Py port with Chinese to English translation last October. Hiyoku Renri no Darling is getting the same treatment. Not exactly sure which i would prefer though: Youtube translation or Chinese-to-English translated port (or Steins;Gate ELITE version, for Senkei Kousoku no Phenogram).

...Glad we resolved it. Meanwhile, 2236 A.D. is out on Denpa.

Heh, i remember being surprised that TYPE-MOON was blamed for milking F/SN around the time Fate/Zero aired (i never really separated Tsukihime and Melty Blood, so i considered F/SN and Tsukihime tied atm) but it really went south from there, going as far as getting an F2P spin-off (then again what doesn't nowadays, even my all-time favorite Red Alert is getting one T_T ). Jeez, no need to get offended over a little sarcastic remark, even if it was a misunderstanding on my part. It wasn't my intention to offend you, but please do try to word yourself better. It's really hard to understan

I think you missed the part about it getting stalled, stkrge.

That's the power of catgirls for you. Saiyori sure stroke it big there.

Unlike LoveKami it was originally released in Japan as allage though, and cases of VNs getting H-upgrade are rather few in numbers (only Little Busters and eden* come to mind). Then again i won't be surprised at this point...
