If they can't respect their own products and potential consumers that's not a company anyone should support. They probably have the biggest sales out of any localization company because they charge hardly anything for most of their games...it gives a false impression that they are successful in sales but profit wise I'm sure it's quite different. They seem to primarily care about the chinese market...shame they can't just license a visual novel by different companies and not have an incompetent half-arsed company try and translate a game in a language they are incapable of understanding.

So here's the thing if a vn company in Japan is not willing to put forth effort and research into what people think of their would be translators and publishers then why should we give them the time of day?

I was here for this and I don't remember what the game that must not be named was... I think a lot of this probably has to do with the SESTA and FOSTA which recently passed thanks to senate, house and T rump passing it into existence despite it having very clear problems and issues for people worldwide. In addition to the crazy christian groups always causing problems of course.

Fire Emblem Switch if releasing this year will likely be announced at/around E3...let's hope it ends up good.

I have 17 hours in Pillars of Eternity 2 at the moment...loving it so far. It is definitely made for multiple playthroughs. Haven't had a huge amount of bugs but apparently one thing did glitch because for whatever reason one of my characters has the funny looking hat from 1 and he's supposed to have burned it.

So here's my policy when it comes to new companies; first impressions are everything.

This is likely not what you are looking for but the main character (male) is an illegal doctor and one of the characters does dress up in a nurse outfit to assist him. This is also however not very realistic and is much more steampunk fantasy: Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People-

I just began Sorcery Jokers...with my vn/game completion status these days I'll be lucky to actually complete it.

I'll wait until I see an actual released game or two (and the quality of the release) before I go ahead and suggest other titles for them to pick up. In the mean time seeing what they decide to pick up without a survey is far more interesting to me until the previous mentioned point in time. I am hopeful for the release of sakurax2 and newton's apple to actually be really good but I am also skeptical at this time.

I started Eiyuu Senki a while ago but got distracted by Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and haven't managed to get back to it or any other vn due to poor time management.

You have to remember that the kickstarter for hoshimemo also managed to achieve getting a translation for the the fan disk as well (eventually) so the kickstarter wasn't redundant from that aspect.

Hmm interesting I might check out a few of them when it goes up for free...

Out of curiosity what did you think of the demo if you've gotten around to reading it.

Pulltop/Moenovel deserves to fail if they don't listen to the people who actually care about their games. The visual novel market is saturated with both quality and crap everywhere and now people are cautious about picking a product up and no longer are limited in what is available to them. I like pulltop games but I won't support a censored or poorly translated release. We have plenty of options to choose instead of them. Hope the sales of this game make them realize that.

Oh then I just installed it wrong lol...also as an anti pirate measure that is still stupid as hell.

Surprisingly no, the post was actually partially written (and saved below) and rather than deleting it I just kept it along with the tweet. Shame about the quality I didn't even notice it had a demo.

Unfortunately the backers of the game really got screwed in this regard as we don't even get anything close to that. Instead we get a patch to get rid of the other version that can only be played on steam and in japanese locale. They may have tried but when the mangagamer version is announced immediately after with none of the issues of the steam release...what the hell Light?

The patch for this game has finally released and is a pain to install by requiring the game to be played in Japanese Locale. To top this all off Mangagamer is currently offering the game for 33.00 for both games in one (DX version or something...think it's simply both games in one and you can pick which game but who knows). Why they couldn't do that for the backers version is beyond me. Quite disappointed in the way this has all worked out. Backers are supposed to more often than not receive the better deal but it seems anyone who has waited is definitely getting the best digital deal out of anyone. NSFW Link: Dies Irae Mangagamer

Was going through the steam upcoming games and happened to stumble across this Tayutama 2 (It seems Hikari Field is going to be working with Abyss Translations to translate the Lump of Sugar game into english.) Before people begin asking according to the official twitter HIKARI FIELD‏ @hikari_field Nov 28 Is there going to be a 18+ patch of Tayutama2 -you’re the only one- ？ The answer is YES!pic.twitter.com/hEDlShScSp This said still hesitant on the quality and it is listed on steam for a December 2017 release...so I guess people will find out the quality sooner than later.

Don't support Nutaku constant failure to disclose censorship even after saying they would just goes to prove that they are a bad vn company. Hell I'd put them next to moenovel in terms of quality even. That is not a good thing. Admittedly I'm not the type who would purchase this game to begin with but point still stands poor translations and censored content (without disclosure) is an issue.

Just from the few images they've released this one looks like it will have it's own share of grammar issues although they don't seem nearly as egregious.

I did not back Sakura Sakura and I'll admit I was interested in checking it out. Unfortunately I've been burned quite a few times by kickstarter and things don't really change. My major area of concern lies in the translation as that will make or a break a game. I really think it would probably be more beneficial to wait until Sakura releases with a translation before doing a kickstarter for this one. I am also interested in Newton and the Apple Tree but I think you would have more clout if you waited for Sakura to release. It would show people the quality of your translations and your commitment to the entire process. The enthusiasm is grand and all but Libra's enthusiasm was also grand and the translation quality turned out to be pretty terrible (but at least they plan to attempt fixing it). I don't think the current state of things is prime for another kickstarter...on that matter itself please remember what month you are going to try and have the kickstarter in. December/January is by far the worst time period to host a kickstarter. It's the holiday season for most people and most people don't have extra money for a month or two after the holidays because they spend it all prior on gifts for other people. Historically the holidays tend to be the worst time period for kickstarters in general. Please take in account the seasons and upcoming events because I would like to see Newton and the Apple Tree succeed (hopefully with an excellent translation)

The AC universe gameplay rarely changes. I played the original trilogy (struggled through AC3 out of boredom), skipped everything after until Black Flag (loved Black Flag but still felt it had a bit too much repetitiveness), skipped everything after and honestly Origins from the little I sampled has a much needed revamped combat system although I doubt I'm going to pick it up. Still playing Divinity Original Sin II but I'm also now playing Grim Dawn with a friend every so often as well. I will probably pick up the .Hack trilogy + vol.4 re-release and Tales of Cold Steel II for PC but after that I'm done with games until next year (assuming I can afford any).

It's excellent I actually quite hope the remake gets a western translation...although I'm not sure how it will compare. The original is great even though it is old (although it sometimes has issues when trying to run the game on more recent computers).

I'm reading/playing Eiyuu Senki at the moment and when not doing that particular game I'm trying to complete the other 10 vns I've started and not finished since the beginning of the year.
