>>46761451
Shiravune should have another batch of announcements ready. I wonder when they will reveal them.

>>46761590
so soon? they shouldnt flood the market, especially when they're gonna deliver a big hit as amanatsu.

>>46761590
I'd imagine in the coming weeks. They usually announce stuff on tuesdays and fridays (10-11am JST).

>big hit as amanatsu

Is it even a big hit? It seems pretty generic moege to me - with mediocre rating on vndb. And writer and artist there is different from Amakano - probably it's just their more low budget lazy project on the side.

>>46761626
>>46762383
Moreover - Mashifoni is not going to be a hit either despite being one of the best moege ever made and much better than Amanatsu. Western market for vns is extremely unenthusiastic place - where only humongous brands like F/S Night is going to make some noticeable splash.

Besides, no one outside of Japan actually use cum tissues in the first place, people use floor carpet, people use their cats (sic!) and people even use their own bodies (yikes).

Why is he plagiarizing this work of art?

>>46762383
1st you shouldnt never trust the ratings on vndb. it's full of shit with flocks of 10 just because it's the trendie vn of the month amongs jops or normies. 2nd the writer is the same guy behind fureraba, making lovers and sugar style.

>>46765638
I thought the writing in Making Lovers, at least the interactions between the characters, was pretty good, but Sugar Style didn't do much for me.

>>46765721
i think he played a little too safe in ss, but overall it's a good vn. he was also the main writer of harem kingdom, another fine one. this guy get all his works translated.

It will be because Nekonyan did not translate it.

>>46763584
do you know better MOEGEs?

>>46768638
What does that have to do with it?

Is Shiravune known for shit translations?
Are they fucked in the head? Why would they translate "onii-chan" as "Shingy" in the recently localized Mashiro-iro Symphony? (the main character's name is Shingo and his imouto refers to him as Shiny in the text bubble of the English translation when she clearly says "Onii-chan".

They've never kept honorifics. Don't know why you'd expect them to in Mashifoni. Isn't the game kirikiri? Just find and replace it and make a patch, takes like 2 minutes.

>>46771158
Nekonyan sucks ass and would fuck it up.

>>46768638
Nekonyan have the biggest moege fanbase out of any western publisher though.

>>46771887
Not at all. If they did licenses would not go to Shiravune.

>>46771946
>If they did licenses would not go to Shiravune.
Yes they would lol. All Shiravune has to do it wave around that DMM money and they could get any licence they want.

>>46771387
That seems fine? It's literally a pet name that a little sister would use for their older brother in a translated sense. If my sister was running around calling me big brother everywhere instead of my real name or something endearing everyone would think she is retarded.

>>46772787
It's certainly better than bubby at least.

>>46772787
you must be retarded or trolling.
She says "big brother" so it should be translated as "big brother", not whatever the fuck the translator chooses it to be.

>>46773388
>She says "big brother" so it should be translated as "big brother"
Dumb EOP who doesn't know terms like onii-san are also used for addressing strangers

>>46771387
>Is Shiravune known for shit translations?
yes, though they're actually a mixed bags, a few times are good but mostly are barely decent due to the heavy localization.

Personally I prefer for certain terms to remain unlocalized since they should be easily understood by the target reader and not localizing them has a high degree of precedent in translations for this medium. That being said I don't care enough to get upset over it and it's not going to ruin my enjoyment of a game.

>>46774083
No one really cares about your preferences, a small bunch of weirdos cries on twitter but most of people clearly okay with localization so fuck off

>>46774200
>No one really cares about your preferences
i do, kys homo.

>>46774200
Why are you getting upset when I said that it's not something that's a big deal to me?

In other new, MG has given a status update. Most importantly Rance X has almost the end of the translation phase, so just 6 years until release I bet. Also Luckydog1 has finally resurfaced. And they have an announcement for Anime Central this weekend. Do any of the other companies have a panel?

>>46774232
Can you post a screenshot of the update? I don't use shitter.

>>46774232
It really is sad that it probably is going to take another 4 years at minimum. It's hard to justify these publishers with those kinds of release time frame. I remember I first played Sengoku back in 2012 and it's looking around 2030 I'll get to finish the series. Could've had a kid, raised then to 18 and put him into college in that time. Just crazy slow shit.

>>46762383
>probably it's just their more low budget lazy project on the side.
It literally has more budget than amakano, the fact it has more sprites already put it above in terms of budget

>>46795526
the reasoning is that there was period of time where they saw nuclear steam success with a few titles they had thrown onto steam just because, and decided to pivot mostly out of eroge and into all-ages focused titles, including developing their own all-ages VN specifically for steam. This went horrifically with every title they licensed specifically for steam (and the title they developed) selling abysmally small amounts of copies and all being massive losses due to being expensive titles while also massively damaging their relationship with their core audience because there was basically a 1-2 year period where 90% of their titles were all-ages aimed at steam and their eroge userbase was very clearly not their primary audience during that period.

I'm pretty sure pink isn't part of the gay flag. In fact, said flag is just a rainbow and the second color should be orange in this case.

Are you going to say physics/optics are gay now?

Did steam fuck over aoi tori?

>>46795526
I would say they do but not as much as they used to for the obvious reason the other Anon mentioned. But the main thing is the Eroge audience just brings in more money as a whole consistently. Unless Steam allows eroge MG is not going to budge and MG focuses on all ages rarely to put on Steam.

Damn, didn't even know this existed. Well, not that I am surprised when it comes to localizer subhumans, but the fact that you need to check even fan tls for legit mentally ill freaks is disheartening. Well, we are at the brink of a technological evolutionary jump, with how fast AI is progressing. Soon we will have real time translators, so we won't need to read TLs infested by mental illness. Well, I already prefer reading MTL. So that's that.

>>46803063
As you said the difference is "just" that the orange color follows the red instead of pink an it's intentional. The pink isn't included in the spectrum.
But the think is that "just" a small change has different meanings like dessert and desert.

>>46808895
My evaluation of the TL is that it's okay. I don't like localization that removes honorifics like that but it's not bad enough to get me upset or hinder my enjoyment. The main problem with the TL are two things: 1) quite a few editing issues, but that's fairly easy to get around, and 2) the TL in Sakuno's route feels like it was done by someone else and is more localized than the others, in a bad way. Then again I didn't like Sakuno's route to begin with as the writing felt different (even considering the TL) due to it having a separate writer who didn't seem of the same caliber as the others. Other than that I like the game a lot and I'm glad it got translated.

>>46808954
>the TL in Sakuno's route feels like it was done by someone else and is more localized than the others, in a bad way
That's all Shiravune releases. They're rarely by one translator/editor since they use translation agencies.

>>46808995
I suppose so. The others felt pretty consistent though (even with the same sort of editing issues)

>>46801713
It wasn't during the panel but one point they said something about how they prioritized whatever Nitro+ wanted them to prioritize. Totono had the DDLC angle, Muramasa is more acclaimed, and Necro and Mojika are newer so I get why those would be seen as easier to sell.

>>46804881
>>46804897
I was only talking about the colors in the spreadsheet.
The group logo itself doesn't really say much, though. And as for the server icon, the fem symbol does raise some eyebrows but it's not a "trans" bullshit made up symbol at the very least.
If you're really that willing to "investigate", why not join that discord and see if they have any dumb pronoun shit or stuff like that in their rules?

>>46808954
>specific route is more localized than the others
Argh, that's annoying as hell.
I don't mind if honorifics are removed but things are still kept 'tidy' and consistent even if localized (e.g. Daitoshokan fanTL) but it pisses me off when they go the Xseed broseidon route and make up alternate cutesy nicknames (e.g. Nanarin TL with stuff like 'Awee' for Aoi). 'Shingy' is even more egregious, at least Awee kinda sounds phonetically similar to Aoi(-chan), but in Mashiro-iro she clearly says onii-chan.
I might just fire up GARbro soon.

>>46811654
>it pisses me off when they go the Xseed broseidon route and make up alternate cutesy nicknames
Well the route in question doesn't do anything like that. It's just the way the dialogue seemed to me overall. Ultimately it may not bother you, and I ultimately dropped that route because the way it was written (not the TL specifically) made it feel weird in comparison to previous routes I'd read. If I'd read that one first I probably wouldn't have cared.

>>46812292
>Well the route in question doesn't do anything like that.
Or rather I should say, it doesn't do anything in that regard that wasn't part of the localization overall. That specific problem does not get worse in that route. Anyway nickname stuff like that isn't that big of a deal for me since I hear what's being said in the voice acting and my brain converts it automatically.

>>46812292
Maybe that route had a different scenario writer? I'll make sure to not play that one first, then.

>>46815415
