Clephas Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Cinders, the English-language VN that is basically an adult (non-ero) take on the Cinderella story with multiple paths and endings, is up on Steam, for those who are interested. http://moacube.com/ There is a review on RPGfan for those who need one to decide, lol.

monkeysrumble Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The art kind of reminds me of Fable, it could just be my imagination though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolat Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 A french otaku have made a short review of this game. She said that it was a good visual novel, and from the screenshots I've seen, it seems interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Interestingly, even though cinders recently got on steam it didn't do very well and moacube is apparently in the red since the leader spent moneys trying to get it up. He got pushed off steam features / new releases quick and there was an activision sale 3 hours after it was put up, so there's that... Prolly they will get more money if you buy it on their site.

He got pushed off steam features / new releases quick and there was an activision sale 3 hours after it was put up, so there's that... Prolly they will get more money if you buy it on their site. Cinders needed to sell 2,000 copies at full price ($40k) to be labelled a commercial success, and they hit that mark a year ago. Well before it made it onto Steam. They used most of those profits and funneled them into Solstice. Because they're developing a new game it's not surprising they are in the red. Game development costs money and the profits made from Cinders was never expected to completely fund their next game. That doesn't mean Cinders didn't sell well, because comparitively speaking it did well. 2,000 copies is a lot for VNs. And Cinders was never expected to make it onto Steam in the first place. Moacube should have let the idea die last year. And yes, please by indie games at full price direct from the developer if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 ^ Do very well on steam. Guess I was unclear. That said, he got some sales after that, so apparently it wasn't the crapshoot he originally thought it to be, if I remember his tweets correctly.
