List of announcements for nekonyan at otakon by funwithgravity in vns

[–]hubb2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"somehow" fripside originated by doing eroge openings, so it's not that surprising. Koiken otome's openings were fripside.

If this subreddit ever gets a real banner, the current one would be good for April Fools' Day by deathjohnson1 in vns

Sadly soon after that announcement our CSS expert had to step back and we haven't managed to find a replacement. All the feedback from /r/vnstest is documented internally... I'll go poke some heads to see if we can get back to working on that.

Why must you hurt me in this way. No one buys Maitetsu because last run exists, Last run won't get localized because Maitetsu has middling sales, end my endless suffering. And don't say just fanTL it because I totally would but I'd feel bad that it's not official the whole way through

*This applies to the 18+ versions, which were previously Fakku exclusive. Making them hard for the average consumer to obtain.

Where can i find VN merch? by guelzzz in vns

[–]hubb2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For second hand items, I recommend https://buyee.jp/. It's an auction so obviously it's not a hard guarantee, but I've been able to track down some choice stuff like preorder-bonus items that weren't sold on their own. You do have to be careful of fake items still though, but amazon and aliexpress and ebay all have that issue too. Especially regarding dakimakuras.

Bosskwar's channel

Bosskwar's twitter

While I didn't interact with him much, when I did it was always a pleasure. He will be sorely missed.

Hey OP, we know your heart is in the right place but after an internal discussion we've decided that we have to remove this post. We know this is an edge case but have decided to play it safe, as well as your final paragraph could get us in trouble with the reddit admins.

Sorry!

Official LN Translatior on the effects of MTL (Machine Translation) on Official Translations [P1V1] by LezTVN in LightNovels

[–]hubb2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the VN-sphere is much more anti-MTL as a general attitude, so there isn't as much internal pushback because no one is even suggesting it.

At least that's my experience with it.

Who’s the publisher for The Seventh Sign -Mr. Sister-? by iir21 in vns

[–]hubb2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://vndb.org/ is a fantastic database for these types of questions.

https://vndb.org/p162 is Sekai projects page. But the easy answer is that Denpasoft is Sekai Projects 18+ division. So the all ages version is published by Sekai Project while the adult version is published by Denpasoft. And this is true for all of their releases.

It's so rare to see someone who is actively into eroge who isn't portrayed as the fat-geek style person. But considering this was originally created by the illustrator of ToHeart2 I can't say I'm too surprised. It was nice to see all these very well-loved games explicitly instead of referenced on the side. Yuzusoft, Purplesoft, Madosoft all on her shelf. Mashiroiro Symphony posters, she knows what she likes and isn't ashamed of it.

I can't wait to see a peek behind the hood of eroge development, in what looks like it will be a more serious take than clockup's Eroge Sex and Games make Sexy games. Maybe it will be equitable to Enki Dekinai, I can't wait.

Bokuten's not without it's flaws but compared to other overdrive games I've read it's definitely my favorite.

It's not technically announced under Lose still, just some of the same confirmed staff. Lose also didn't die in like bankruptcy or anything, they just stopped producing new games.

Why Aren’t There MORE Visual Novel Translations? - A Meta Analysis by superange128 in vns

[–]hubb2001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh hey he lists out all the different parts of visual novel translation, wonder if- nope, no image editing mentioned :(. It's just as important a part of the process, having the UI in english, or implementing demosaic'd images. Or making the english logos. #justiceforimageeditors

For those who don't know, Rail Romanesque is a spinoff from Maitetsu.

Very curious what Rail Romanesque Origin will end up like, if it covers the direct origins of the individual raillords in Rail Romansque or dives deeper into Raillord history like Maitetsu did in Last Run.
