    Codesterz got a reaction from CausticFox in Thoughts on Fakku distributing eroge   
    These official h-places need to get past this barrier though, otherwise the free alternatives will always be superior. I'm sure I've read some things from them and didn't even know it was by them and thought it was just a fan translation.

    Since I had nothing better to do I went and looked at their site. No loli tag no small breast tag so I'm gonna consider them a fail site in my book. If they want to become the go to place for buying digital h-content they're gonna need to get rid of that bias of theirs.

    You really should have bought it from FAKKU instead.
    No one should be supporting visual novels on Steam, buy them elsewhere.

    Based on the post they don't have an actual translator anymore but are looking for one. They are pretty much just doing all the tech work(hacking and text insertion).  I'm sure if you contact them they'd be more than happy to have you do translations otherwise it sound like they'll just use a machine translator(probably googles auto-translator).

    That doesn't mean they won't have any influence on the English translations. Unlikely yeah, but not impossible. I'm sure there will be at least a few Chinese people who will want to read the English translations to improve their English. Keeping the translations more accurate would be beneficial to Hikari Field for this reason.
    It's also their loss since they aren't getting money from me. Sooner or later I'll get to reading some of them with machine translations since they are more accurate than NekoNyan.

    One of the main problems I have is a lot of the times it doesn't accurately represent the characters personality. In Fureraba there is red haired chick that's supposed to be a classic tsundere, but all the swearing in her dialogue turns her into an American bitch. I'm pretty sure most of us that read VNs are weebs and we actually enjoy the Japanese anime trope character archetypes. Localization companies seem so hell bent on removing those aspects of a character and changing the characters into an American archetype that is similar. I know I sure as hell don't want that. I want a translation that keeps as much of the Japanese anime culture present as possible while still having sentences that flow well. A lot of the times I see people try defend the overly liberal translations by saying 'native English people don't talk like that'. The fuck do I care about how actual English people speak. I want to see how the Japanese anime character speaks, but in English.

    No it wouldn't, injecting boorish westerm vulgarities into a non-vulgar speech is not an equivalent of referring to someone informally.
    Example:
    "O-omae!" (informal, somewhat disrepectful way of referring to someone by saying "You".)
    Murrican libral translation:
    "YOU asshole, I'll fuck your shit up bastard!"

    Sekai is heavily to blame for this though. They should have understood that and aimed to release as fast as possible instead of putting it in the icebox. Hell the title I'm looking forward to the most from them is still in the icebox(Tenshin Ranman).

    Codesterz got a reaction from Swim Swim in It's Official, Almost 1 Year After it's Release Subarashiki Hibi One of the Best VN Ever Made Didn't Sell   
    Not surprised this didn't sell well. I didn't buy it, the aspect ratio and resolution are way too out of date. Other things that keep me away from it are multiple protagonists, cut content, and the art doesn't look all that good. I put a lot of emphasis on the 'visual' part of visual novel. You can have the best story in the world, but if I don't like the art I find myself having very little motivation to play it.

    I kind of hope it goes horribly bad and it leads to Moenovel finally dying. I don't want their hands on more titles after this. The sooner Moenovel goes away the better.

    Codesterz got a reaction from ekmll in Can Visual Novels really change you?   
    While I've never experienced a change like this from a VN I do believe they can impact someone this heavily. Pretty much any form of entertainment can impact someone like this(music, movies, tv series, book, etc). I feel like it's more likely to happen if you are younger or are going through a harder time in your life.

    When I've read all the routes I'm interested in. No option for it so I figured I'd post it. An example would be Hatsukoi 1/1 where I read all routes except for Kyou because her pizza obsession annoyed me.

    MoeNovel devs gave me a warning on the steam discussions for this topic http://steamcommunity.com/app/745960/discussions/0/2906376154330413460/
    It's the most I've ever heard from them though, now if only we could get the same for the censorship. For those interested in seeing the warning message I'll put it below. It's just a typical response you'd expect though. I put little edit on the bottom of the steam post to try keep it from getting deleted again.
    "Hi, I'm afraid that I have to issue you a warning regarding your post. Both the original post and this post have been flagged to us as encouraging hate within the forums. As much as we want to allow our users free speech and the freedom to express their opinion openly, we still have to abide by Steam's rules. Should this thread deteriorate down into a hate-encouraging speech, we will be forced to remove it again. We hope that you will understand this and consider the Steam forum rules.

    Probably not, your best bet is to wait on the re-translation patch at this point considering how close it is to getting completed. As a warning though from what I understand the patch will not be compatible with the English Moenovel version of the VN. Hopefully it remains this way otherwise it incentivizes people to purchase the MoeNovel version of the VN.

    This does not allow you to contact the developers. I sent a message through it yesterday and received a response from a Nutaku Customer Service Specialist. This was the reply I was given "Hello, Thanks for contacting Nutaku Support. The developers of Tenioha! : Girls Can Be Pervy Too! decided to remove this content. We were not aware of this until it was reported by our users."

    If someone releases an uncensor patch for it I'd be willing to play it. This means adding the missing CGs into the game and translating the removed scenes. Otherwise no this company can go fuck itself.

    Not every VN is some masterfully written work guys. The vast majority of them are focused on the "how they got from point A to point there is a dick inside this girl now". Hate me all you want, I'll still enjoy what I like.
