I buy on MG mostly so thats great news only issue with MG i have is for some reason my downloads have extremely limited speeds

Do people really like playing it on the steamdeck? I find a windows tablet like the Microsoft Surface much better, infact I've been playing exlusively on that since 2015ish Afaik I only had issues with one or two games not reacting to the touchscreen, I forgot the name but one of those games was that love triangle game by that company who was evading taxes (weird description but all I remember )

surprised no one here is talking about this, Akatsuki no Goei was one of the most requested things here back in the day

I forgot which VN it is, might've been Chrono clock but if there's an option to view the H-scene later seperately from the main menu thats works best for me. In most VNs after the first one I end up skipping most of the rest since its usually just pandering to different fetishes lol

Was always interested in reading because of the anime but not really a big Muv Luv fan so lets see

Haha, when I joined this board, new translations were so rare and there were numerous VNs dropped halfway through and never saw light of day Atleast now with official companies something being dropped is rare and we get quite a few releases per year on the other hand FanTLs are getting very rare now due them joining the official companies i guess?

Since no one mentioned it so far Sorcery Jokers and Ayakashibito

Depends on what you mean by early. If its going to be released in 2 years no please dont announce it Nekonyan learnt that the hard way when they announced too many things too early and there's still I think 2 titles in 2018 they announced thats yet to be released. They dont announce that early anymore. More companies should follow that example (mainly the likes of Sekai and JAST) They can just message the fantlers though

If I already played a fantranslation and it wasnt the sort of VN that'd be in my top 10 list then definitely not buying it.

the worst type of drama

I mean yeah those two that had anime adaptations would probably be a nice release for them since some people would've heard of them but knowing Sekai's track record we wont get shit for like 3 years

AkabeiSoft- They started the trend of moving away from dumb passive MCs for me atleast, most of their titles had pretty unique settings and twists. Wish we get Akatsuki no Goei trilogy translated one day Yuzusoft- Have to mention them since a lot of their stuff comes here and they are mostly fun little reads, their moege writing just works and they dont try to overcomplicate it. and third hard to say, Akatsuki Works deserve a shout but i've only got Comyu which is one of the best of its genre i've read from them since Hello Lady seems to be in an infinite state of delay, I wanna say Frontwing because Grisaia is one of my fav ever reads but thats all they've released thats good. Purple Software always does very interesting settings, Hapymaher still ranks in my top 5, Chrono Clock not far behind either and i've heard good things on their other titles as well but no one seems to be picking their games up (Nekonyan picked up one now though, thats exciting maybe we'll get Amatsutsumi later. If they are as good as the other 2 they'r def up here.) We need more than Nekonyan releasing stuff though lol, wtf are Sekai Mangagamer and JAST doing

They seem to be the only company thats not sleeping atm, after Totono all JAST have done is release nukiges, mangagamer doing the same, after Maggot Baits its mostly dumb Overdrive games and Nukiges from them, its been like 3 years since Hapymaher and they still havent done any other game from Purple Software even though i'm pretty sure it was one of their bigger releases (even without steam). Guess Nukiges make more money? I hope Nekonyan doesnt start mass releasing those though, looking at their projects though we'r good till late 2022

yeah I think so, Sony's main HQ is in America, explains a lot of the stupid decision-making. Atleast we still got Nintendo i guess

to be fair even Sony doesnt seem to anymore given how hard they go down on anything Japan/anime related (Western stuff doesnt get censored but games like DMC5 does for example...)
