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.

So what's going on with the Dies Irae kickstarter? I heard there was some sort of wank over stretch goals.

Light unveiled the stretch goals where reaching $200k in pledges would unlock a 16-page art booklet for $50 tier backers while $250k would unlock digital Vita copies ($200k in the original Prefundia) for those who pledged at least $100 to the campaign. Also, the original stretch goal for the localization of Interview with Kaziklu Bey apparently got scrapped in the end.

A lot of people including at least one of the translators weren't too happy about it and the campaign lost about $2k in pledges in a single day after the announcement.

something i've been wondering about since the dies irae ks started

who is rusalka and why is everyone begging light to add a route for her

black wolves saga: bloody nightmare translation complete!

[baaaaka]

hey guys, it's me!

golden spirit fell through, and i was unable to convince any companies to pick up the game. HOWEVER, someone else picked up the last few routes I hadn't finished in my translation of this game, and so, the entire game is now available in english if you play using visual novel reader!

there's a guide on how to use VNR here posted by the second translator here on my blog. please enjoy! this game does have dark themes, so take care if you're sensitive to such things.

According to a tweet by the scenario writer, Harumade Kururu will becoming out in English with both an all-ages version and an 18+ version. Here's the vndb.
https://vndb.org/v9198

I'm betting on Sekai Project being the one to license it. I wonder how they're going to handle taking out the sex scenes since there's a lot of them before the vn undergoes a genre shift.

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

not too familiar with the game so I can't comment on too much on the sex scenes themselves, but

lots and lots of fade-to-black I'm guessing assuming they're not going to replace the sex with new content?

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

an all ages release for a game with the premise of 'guy gets a harem'

right, like reading playboy for the articles

VN Bloggers?

Question since I'm curious: Which bloggers/reviewers do you follow for your VN recommendations and such?

Ladykiller in a Bind is coming to Steam. I've heard it's pretty explicit so I'm a bit surprised that it got in. But then again Steam's policy is pretty inconsistent.

Spoilers for the seventh day in Ladykiller in a Bind

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who played the game, I'm amazed the game could get in with no edits whatsoever.

IIRC, things like clits are depicted in visuals, but they aren't super explicitly drawn (if they do appear) so I can see that getting past Valve. However, there are two scenes that you can get on the final day depending on your choices that I'm surprised made the cut since they're pretty damn explicit by Valve's standards.

Examples (NSFW):

Valve seriously needs a clear policy on what kinds of h-scenes are and aren't okay. Last I checked, scenes depicting visuals where the gay protagonist gets a guy's jizz on her hand during sex (for plot-related reasons) and another scene where the same gay protagonist gets raped by a guy aren't exactly tame compared to, say, the h-scenes in Kindred Spirits on the Roof.

MG just released their top-selling games for 2016 under three categories: First Party Titles, Third Party Titles, and Steam Releases.

Kindred Spirits hit 8th place under first party titles and 1st under Steam releases. Meanwhile, Gahkthun hit 8th place and Ozmafia hit 2nd both under Steam releases. Also, NTY hit 10th place under first party title rankings again despite being a 2015 release.

you know how good haro said they're looking into a more "normal" bl game (a.k.a. something tamer than nty despite that game's content being standard bl fare) for mg to license before licensing anything too "hardcore"

since con season's coming up, any guesses on what that'll be? i remember one anon in a previous thread bringing up shinkon-san and another brought up kami-sama kari, but are there any other games that could be considered "normal"?

the only other thing that comes to mind are games from spray (gakuen heaven series) and pekoe (bokura wa minna, koi o suru)*, but that's... pretty much it.

*the reason i bring up spray and pekoe is because they're are both owned by visualarts. mangagamer has vavasyatyou, the ceo of visualarts, and itaru hinoue (artist for bokura wa minna, koi o suru) added as "staff who help make these games possible" on their twitter lists:

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

that being said, it's admittedly a bit of a stretch since visualarts is publishing games in english by themselves right now without relying on another publisher and so far they've only expressed interest in localizing their all-ages stuff from their key brand.

Speaking of Mangagamer's licensing survey, have you figured out what you'll request?

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

i'm hearing that light decided to add in a rusalka route because of fan demand, and i'm also hearing that the dies irae pr person has no clue what they're talking about and that the loc team said they didn't receive any new rusalka content to translate

what is truth

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

[(Anonymous)]

stupid question time! why so much fuss about censoring visual novels to all-ages version? witcher series is on steam and there is a lot of sex in this franchise. why can't localized vn get the same mature rating and be done with it?

Who's been playing Himawari so far? How is it?

For me, I'm on Asuka's route and while there are some fun characters (save for Youichi and [Rot13'd for 2048 spoilers] Qnvtb) the pacing feels... off when it comes to balancing the slice-of-life bits and the drama itself.

G Yuusuke, the artist for Dies Irae, will be having an AMA on Reddit later today at 8:00 pm EST on the Visual Novels subreddit. It will last about two hours according to the update on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1986219362/dies-irae-english-localization-project-commences/posts/1778522 This is actually pretty neat. I wish we could get stuff like this more often.

Re: VISUAL NOVEL CANONS

this might be just me but

why are popular otoge blogs on Tumblr giving E2 Gaming (a.k.a. the company that stole fan TLs) attention just because they released two screenshots filled with grammatical errors

we're getting more otome games localized now. can we please start adopting this thing called standards by not promoting shady companies?

Sekai Project will be opening an otome brand and their first release is The Bell Chimes for Gold.

On one hand, I'm a bit excited but on the other hand it's Sekai Project so I've got mixed feelings.
