Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Mangagamer and Sekai Project put up their con schedules.

I can't wait to see what Mangagamer announces for Anime Boston. It probably won't be anything big since they save those for AX and Otakon, but I hope it's interesting.

Now the CEO of JAST is doing damage control.

You do know that it's a demo, and alpha? We're totally going to fix any problems

https://twitter.com/jlist2/status/703029802085711873

Um, that is an alpha and all problems will be correct. Sure wish fans could dial down the hate just a god damn bit

https://twitter.com/jlist2/status/703029802085711873

Well it's an incomplete translation since we're still working on the final version of the game

https://twitter.com/jlist2/status/703042767287513088

Supposedly, this game is supposed to come out in three weeks (though since is JAST lol). The fact that demos tend to be representative of what the final product will look like and their current status of the full game is "
Editing 60%, Coding" as of February 17th according to this does not fill me with hope:

Kindred Spirits apparently did quite well. Not that that I has any doubt, but it's good to hear it confirmed.

Kindred Spirits sales? Good?

Doddler replied:
Quite good I hear. Sounds like even Liarsoft were surprised at how it's done... I guess that's the power of steam.

as glad as i am that kindred spirits did as well as it rightfully should, this is kind of sad considering how poor gahkthun's sales for.

Sekai Project also got hit with Steam key fraud. Though it seems like they only offered it for one title.

Luckily for Sekai Project, they managed to catch it two weeks after they got hit. Mangagamer apparently has been dealing with fraud for a few months now.

Wonder if it's by the same person/group of people?

Does anyone know if Tokyo Babel (https://vndb.org/v9205) and Shadows of Pygmalion (https://vndb.org/v12072) are both worth checking out? I know they're chuunige, but how are they in terms of writing?

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

[(Anonymous)]

what is a chuunige? i tried googling and can't find a definition

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

[(Anonymous)]

Can't speak for Pygmalion (I think it looks cool and I'm glad for a yurige that probably won't put me to sleep, but I don't know anything about it and there being three scenario writers is kind of scary), but Tokyo Babel is written by Higashide so I'm willing to bet it's pretty fun if nothing else.

Gare and Conjueror both looked excited to work on it too, and they usually have good taste.

Demo of the first Flowers game now out on Steam.

Also, pre-orders are up on JLIST.

Is the demo only out on Steam or can you get it from their website?

i can't tell if i'm nitpicking or if something about that font feels off to me

[(Anonymous)]

as a word of warning, apparently the translation is really bad. after seeing tulipgoddess and blackdragonhunt's reactions to the demo, i tried digging around to see what was wrong. apparently this is the problem:

Talking to TLer peeps on twitter and IRC and apparently the Flowers translation is really bad. Mistranslations, weird Japan-isms (using the Japanese name of Wuthering Heights as an example), obvious spelling/grammar mistakes, and the engine hasn't been altered so the font is some weird looking full width thing.

well, that's disappointing

aaaand someone tweeted about the bad translation to InnoGrey's PR account in Japanese. could there be hope?

For anyone who wants examples of half of the things wrong with the demo, someone compiled a list on Twitter.

What annoys me the most about this is that JAST had the competent translator work on SoniComi, a short game (VNDB says it's about 2-10 hours long) that probably isn't even that text-heavy since it's supposed to be a photography sim. Meanwhile, they put a terrible translator in charge of a story, text-heavy game like Flowers.

How does this even work

https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/703323232112386053

[(Anonymous)]

JAST released an update to supposedly fix all the errors in the demo. The mistranslations are still there and the new update introduced even more problems with the translation:

https://twitter.com/KurosakaRyuuko/status/703330974210232320

At this point, JAST is better off accepting that there is no saving this translation and cut their losses.

2016 Con Predictions

[(Anonymous)]

The mess that is the Flowers localization aside, anyone got their guesses for which company will announce what this year?

Re: 2016 Con Predictions

[(Anonymous)]

Personally kind of interested if the fact that Mangagamer has the CEO of VisualArts/Key (vavasyatyou) added to their list of other staff whom they've worked with and Itaru Hinoue (hinoueitaru) to their list of illustrators whom they've also worked with means anything:

https://twitter.com/MangaGamer/lists/other-staff/members
https://twitter.com/MangaGamer/lists/illustrators/members

Since Hinoue's added, I wonder if there's a chance Mangagamer will announce Rewrite since there's an anime coming up?

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

Now that Mangagamer's payment processor is up and running, Kara no Shoujo 2 is back on the rankings at number five. It's nice to see it there. I wonder if part of it has to do with the whole Flowers shitstorm and people are just showing their support for Innocent Grey titles released through Mangagamer.

Whatever it is, hopefully they can get some more sales for it.
