LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Is "best untranslated visual novel to get an official localization thus far" not enough for some people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Have it ever crossed your mind that it may be "best" for you but "worst" for some other people? (not me though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I knew you'd pull out that argument. Sigh... whatever. I'm just really frustrated, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I do think this is a good vn (not "best" in my list, but should be somewhere around 8/10), but imo, I just think that they are doing a pretty bad job with KS and reward tiers on this one. That may be one of the reason why this KS is struggling so much, even though it should have been funded, like, in the first two weeks, optimistically speaking. That's why I don't really want to back it. There is also another reason, since I just backed Libra, and I will be moving to another city soon, and the shipping fees for my mountain of anime goods are killing me, so I have to restrain myself from using money recklessly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't think you can judge it to be "somewhere around 8/10" for you when you only know background information about the story, but okay... Regarding tiers, I don't think it's all SP's fault; I mean, what they have to work with is what they have to work with, so yeah. PR/marketing though, yeah that's probably more of SP's problem.

Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Nah, I played about, 1/3, or 1/2, I don't know, of the common route (Japanese ver), so I can kind of tell how good the game is. Don't know about heroine routes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about heroine routes though. Wait what, there is no "common route" in Root Double... and no heroine routes either. If you mean you just played 1/3 or 1/2 of Root A, then I don't think that's nearly enough to judge the overall quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Don't ask me, I haven't done with the game yet, so I have no idea if there is a route or not. I stalled it half-way because of...reason. I can't judge the overall quality, of course, but from what I have read, it seems to be a good game, that's it. I rated a lot of other games base on the trial too.

LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Alright, sure. Fine. Let's stop this now, please. I've just been trying my best to help out Root Double's Kickstarter so I'm much more frustrated about this than all of you. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterfuryZX Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 It was prediCtable since the 1st day of the campaign, but not all hope is lost, it's still doing 1,5k per day. It better increase to at least 3k per day asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We gotta prepare to infiltrate /r/vita. The big news should come today at 11:00 AM probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterfuryZX Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I think the problem here is not the PRs but SP overall reputation. I keep reading of people that won't fund it specificAlly because it's a SP project, like..."dovac is a dick", "they have to learn to finish their ongoing projects before starting new ones" , and such...

Did people decide that just now for Root Double? This is the worst possible time for people to give up on SP... save it for some run-of-the-mill VN, not Root Double... gahhh.

WinterfuryZX Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't care, VN are hard to translate, and I'm a WEE backer. Also, they retranslated Clannad in 9 months, it was an Incredible feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Vita version confirmed: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/root-double-before-crime-after-days-xtend-edition/posts/1473372 > programming will be handled by Regista, will take at least a year to release due to multiple factors. That's not great, but at least it's something? edit: Oh, I almost missed it: > the PSVita port is exclusive to the $225 tier and up. So yeah, if you were waiting for the Vita port, maybe keep on waiting until it releases on PSN some time in 2017. Unless you are just that dedicated, I guess.

LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm not sure how to feel about this update honestly... the gameplay video looks amazing, but... $225 and above for the Vita, along with taking at least a year to release... that's pretty rough. I'd feel much better if the Vita were in the $150 tier. I was expecting tier updates to be more than just Vita + name addition to the True Ending credits...

Crayten Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Honestly if someone wants to play VNs on a portable device buy a windows 10 tablet and dont stick with a PSV. Its the way better choice in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 this is way this project is struggling so much, what's the point on adding vita if you are going to put it in a 225 dollar tier? anyone that wants to pledge for the vita version only they can't :/ so all the backers of vita players are escencially screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterfuryZX Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Win't happen it's too late for that... Anw... no new tier over 275 usd, I'll probably make a custom pledge during the final day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrt Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The whole can't be physical copy because the VN is too big is complete bullshit. They could easily spit the game into two discs (or whatever it is the vita uses) like they used to do for games in the past. This kickstarter has been one mistake after the other and honestly I've yet to back it because of it. Every time I get a slight inclination to maybe back at the 30 dollar tier they do something else to make me think this is just a mess. The fact they plan to get it out by March (unless I misread and they meant next year) means that it's quite obvious that the game is already complete or close to completion as far as translation goes. I am not quite sure why they are bothering with a kickstarter they could of sold the game normally and likely would have made over their goal by simply doing it that way. Sekai Project simply needs to learn to not announce a game as releasing with the "If the Kickstarter is successful". Japanese companies are trying to take advantage of Kickstarter. I backed the Libra Project primarily because of the fact it was a new game and by a studio trying to push into the market...they also had an extremely successful kickstarter both in tiers, feedback, reaching out to the community, etc... This has been the complete opposite. I would love to play Root Double but I am not going to be kickstarting it. If it makes Kickstarter then I'll pick the game up for 30 to 40 dollars upon successful release on PC. I have a theory that if (big if) the game has already had so much work done for it that they won't simply ignore trying to make back some of those funds and we'll see the game again with either a better kickstarter or as a normal release...that's assuming they've put any work into it. The only difference is they might release the game without voices to try and recuperate expected loss.
