rpanons | Trapped in the city of one loo

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
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.

Ken ga Kimi got a Vita port last year and Black Wolves Saga is getting one this year. http://www.otomate.jp/bws/wus/

As for Mangagamer going after Diabolik Lovers, I doubt it. That was simply the most popular otome game requested on their survey. They'll take it into consideration but doesn't mean they'll be able to get it. They go for PC titles so a PC otome game would be far more likely at the moment.

oops, i misworded that - i knew about the vita port already and i'm pretty excited for that! i meant the localization. afaik nobody has expressed interest in localizing it or hinted towards it, unless i'm missing something. if i had a twitter, i'd try pinging one of the usual companies, but i don't.

I think what that anon meant was that having a vita port would perhaps help them get localized. I don't know about the other companies, but if you're serious about trying to get BWS localized then you could email Mangagamer at support@mangagamer.com and go from there.

Whatever happens I wish you luck!

i don't think there's been any word about the BWS Vita port getting a localization, but iirc most localization publishers that aren't an in-house publisher for a company don't really try to license unreleased games until after they come out. the devs/jp publisher could express interest in an english release for that game, but don't expect any chance of a localization announcement until after it comes out in japan first. there are exceptions where a third-party publisher makes a localization announcement before the game's even out in japan like zero escape 3 and himawari, but i wouldn't say it's super common.

so in other words, i honestly wouldn't expect any chance of bws vita getting licensed until after the game is out in japan. if someone does pick up bws, aksys would probably be the most likely candidate since bws's story > romance aspect fits well into the type of otoge they've been localizing so far.

maybe i'll try shooting aksys a line, then, since i'm honestly not sure what's happening with the patch at this point in time.
