  1. Do people really like playing it on the steamdeck? I find a windows tablet like the Microsoft Surface much better, infact I've been playing exlusively on that since 2015ish

    Afaik I only had issues with one or two games not reacting to the touchscreen, I forgot the name but one of those games was that love triangle game by that company who was evading taxes (weird description but all I remember :mare:

    +1000 this. All-ages version of Princess Evangile does this, and it worked great, at least for me.

    Also, I wish they stopped inserting cringey, mood killing h-scenes in most random moments just to fill the quota.

    I forgot which VN it is, might've been Chrono clock but if there's an option to view the H-scene later seperately from the main menu thats works best for me.

    In most VNs after the first one I end up skipping most of the rest since its usually just pandering to different fetishes lol

    I trust that Nekonyan will eventually release it.  If nothing else, they have a much better relationship with Yuzusoft than Sekai Project had.  People are pretty spoiled these days, when it comes to VN translations... it was normal only to get one or two a year when I first started playing, and now it isn't uncommon for ten to get released in a single year.

    I honestly don't know what is holding it up, since the final version we handed over to SP was pretty much done as well or better than most professional translations.  For all I know, SP refused to hand it over and the two companies are fighting over it behind the scenes.

    Haha, when I joined this board, new translations were so rare and there were numerous VNs dropped halfway through and never saw light of day

    Atleast now with official companies something being dropped is rare and we get quite a few releases per year

     

    on the other hand FanTLs are getting very rare now due them joining the official companies i guess? 

  4. Depends on what you mean by early. If its going to be released in 2 years no please dont announce it 

     

    Nekonyan learnt that the hard way when they announced too many things too early and there's still I think 2 titles in 2018 they announced thats yet to be released. They dont announce that early anymore. More companies should follow that example (mainly the likes of Sekai and JAST)

    Early announcement may help avoid embarrassment in the case of fan translation conflict too.

    They can just message the fantlers though
     

  5. AkabeiSoft- They started the trend of moving away from dumb passive MCs for me atleast, most of their titles had pretty unique settings and twists. Wish we get Akatsuki no Goei trilogy translated one day

    Yuzusoft- Have to mention them since a lot of their stuff comes here and they are mostly fun little reads, their moege writing just works and they dont try to overcomplicate it.

    and third hard to say, Akatsuki Works deserve a shout but i've only got Comyu which is one of the best of its genre i've read from them since Hello Lady seems to be in an infinite state of delay, I wanna say Frontwing because Grisaia is one of my fav ever reads but thats all they've released thats good. Purple Software always does very interesting settings, Hapymaher still ranks in my top 5, Chrono Clock not far behind either and i've heard good things on their other titles as well but no one seems to be picking their games up (Nekonyan picked up one now though, thats exciting maybe we'll get Amatsutsumi later. If they are as good as the other 2 they'r def up here.)

     

     

    We need more than Nekonyan releasing stuff though lol, wtf are Sekai Mangagamer and JAST doing 

  6. They seem to be the only company thats not sleeping atm, after Totono all JAST have done is release nukiges, mangagamer doing the same, after Maggot Baits its mostly dumb Overdrive games and Nukiges from them, its been like 3 years since Hapymaher and they still havent done any other game from Purple Software even though i'm pretty sure it was one of their bigger releases (even without steam). 

     

    Guess Nukiges make more money? I hope Nekonyan doesnt start mass releasing those though, looking at their projects though we'r good till late 2022 :sacchya:

    I meant because its system is almost identical to that of a PC OS, so conversion would be significantly easier all-around.  It wouldn't surprise me if it eventually got to the point where the system could play PC VNs that have been localized without a need for a port.  

    yeah Microsoft is incorporating windows with their xbox games/services, the xbox app is baseline now for all windows devices and not to mention GamePass. 

    Porting VNs shouldnt be too big of an issue, doubt xbox gets anything exclusive though, I dont think the console is any popular is Japan yet.

    I think the Switch is a great platform for VNs for 2 reasons. You can read on the big screen, and you can read in a more portable manner (like lying in bed with the switch in your hands). In a sense, it kind of baffles me that in the west at least, VNs have pretty much been exclusively a computer thing. Whereas in Japan, the PSP and Vita were a major platform that a lot of VNs got released on. But the Switch is the perfect in between by being both portable and a console. Idk where this will take us in terms of future releases, but I am quite hyped for the Umineko port for the Switch. 

    I mean I've never ever played VNs on my desktop, its always on my Surface Pro. I imagine a majority of the VN readers in the West also reads it on their respective laptops more than desktops, same thing, you can read it lying in bed or sitting in bed or take it to Uni and read (Not recommended :notlikemiya:)

  9. Nekonyan's next release will be Riddle Joker on the 18th of December, so we'll have something new to play over the holidays which is always nice. More Yuzusoft Moeges :mare:. Havent completely finished Senren yet though lol.

    I wonder if they are having issues with Hello Lady's engine or something since the base game has been done for months now and i believe even the fandisc is almost done (already TLed/Edited), hopefully thats their February release
