Suzu Fanatic

looking forward to the eventual release of the 18+ version of Grisaia (3rd chap) - then my kickstarter investment will have paid off and I can unfollow SP/Denpa, which can only seem to acquire lowbudget stuff, or sucker Fan TL teams into selling their efforts for faaar less than they are worth.

People like to say the VN scene is booming - but it isn't, it reeeally isn't. It's basically an echo chamber of indie devs stroking each other off, trying to convince themselves their work is successful and relevant. And SP encourages that mentality, which only breeds more lowbudget works, saturating the market further with fan-fiction level writing. If you think even half those "devs" have an education beyond highschool, you're sadly mistaken.

You can argue education is irrelevant- but I would counter that higher education tests a person on more than just knowledge - it tests self-discipline, professionalism, and dedication.

All the "bigger" stuff that SP has announced? I doubt we will see it within the next 5 - 10 years. Basically Jast 2.0. But who knows? Time will tell~ SP might just collapse in on itself and all those acquired projects will turn into a puff of smoke.

I'm just feeling cranky tonight So that's my random bitch for the time being.
