    feng is filing for bankruptcy

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Well, I hope that all feng's staff can find a job... Or they will go under WillPlus, like it was with Studio Ryokucha (Mirage Soft).

    To be honest, I'm really appreciate the effort that devs put into game development, because it's really difficult. And you can understand it only if you create something like that. As a player... it's quite difficult to understand, until you plunge into this hell yourself.

    ------

    I'm more interested in why companies are closing quietly, without any official statements, they simply turn off the official website, and as if nothing had happened. How is it possible?

    I just remember situation with Studio Ryokucha - they reopened their site, deleted all their released projects (product pages on site) until Hanikami Clover, then released Natsuiro Koi Uta in 2017, promised DLC and never released that... then... we suddenly heard about Mirage Soft in 2018 with staff from Studio Ryokucha. They released Koi Flag, and then disappeared. WTF...

    And then some guy hacked their site and Twitter, and wrote something strange... 

    imi wakannai.

    About feng company... I thought their last full price game "Yume to Iro de Dekiteiru" was well received. But... eh, no? 60mln debt still, they closed in May, but we find out only now.

     

     

     

     

    Nexton asking your opinion about localizing titles in English

    If you don't know, Nexton company asks your opinion about localizing their titles in English.

    Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7IzCIx0bNv5208-akYxzrf-DmX9MuWbKZCVRtrZLccIGA4Q/viewform

     

    They have official site and English Discord, when you can discuss their titles and ask questions. And also Facebook!

     

    Nexton plans to localize their games with Mangagamer and "one else localization company" (Nekonyan, maybe?)

     

    If someone of you don't know anything about Nexton company, you can see their site and information on VNDB.

     

    What you expect from them? 

    And yes, all their titles will be uncensored in English, so don't worry about that.

     

    P.S. I voted for Amakano series. And you? ^_^

    The game starts after the prologue. Trust me, it changes character fast. I'm not a fan of the prologue either.

    Unfortunately, such behaviour in prologue can give wrong impression of game for players (by the way, that's why we need demo versions of game to test it before buying).

    My friend also dropped that VN and even didn't finish prologue, and my words about "please, read next" don't convince them to continue. Eh... That's minus of that game.

    I'm pretty sure people downvoted it because of its episodic nature rather than anything else. The game itself looked pretty decent, but it was way too short to give it even approximate rating. Like, do you rate a manga after reading just one chapter or an anime after watching first 10 minutes of its first episode? I sure don't.

    Probably devs don't have enough money, and decided to release only 1 short part of game, thinking, that they can be able to continue with profit (people will believe in project and support it).

    But... Something went wrong...

    Oh my God.  If this article is true, and the Sol Press CEO did not give an interview in a bad mood ...
     And the VN market in the West is so saturated that players simply have no money to buy novels ...
     What to say about the countries of the second and third world?

     I live in Russia.  And honestly, I can call this country the third world country.  I never hope to see official translations of VN into Russian, this is just a useless idea.  Once in the West, where everything is bad, and if the English language (the main language of the world) novels do not pay off... What to say about other countries and translations into other languages?
    Only silent...

     I don’t want to talk about my life and expenses (I was politely asked to shut up when I started doing this on the forum), but if I can, I buy games, although I know perfectly well that I don’t have time or energy for them.

     I do not think that +1 copy, especially for the Russian regional price (1/4 of the original price) can solve something, but I am happy to support those VNs hat interest me.

     Sol Press pleasantly surprised me by picking up the great Witch's Garden, as well as Happiness 2.
     But Windmill and other companies are so little known among all the others... Niche eroge studios...
     That I have a feeling that these VNs are needed only by 2.5 anonymous.
     This is sad.

     And, apparently, the employees of Sol Press themselves really like these VNs, which is probably why they are working at a loss just to see their favorite title published officially.

     Thank you, Sol Press.  I would cry if I were you.
    We have very, very similar tastes.  I am glad that you have the means and opportunities to localize VN in the West, and ... Those who, let's be honest, are not needed by anyone (almost).

     So I will support you to the end.

     (I bought Majo Koi Nikki on the first day of release and am very happy. And you?)

    Sorry for my English.
