Decay

The only truly weak classes right now are Priest and Shaman. They both could use some love in the next expansion.

I think this guy will probably liveblog it as well: http://bayoab.info/live/live2.php?panel=0&refresh=1&scroll=131#new

It was specifically in reference to AX: http://blog.mangagamer.org/2015/06/19/anime-expo-information/ Otakon will have announcements, too, but I think they're packing in the most exciting stuff into AX with no nukige (probably) and Otakon will have nukige announcements and more announcements from current partners.

That's a bold thing to say when that's the only VN we know for sure will be there. I really don't have a clue what else SP will have. Root Double is probably the next kickstarter project Dovac has hinted at. If they have both that AND another Key game, that would be a pretty impressive lineup. For MG, they have four confirmed announcements, three for brand new partners and one for an existing one. There is some question as to whether they'll formally announce Supipara at AX or at Otakon, and if they announce it here if that will be their announcement from an existing partner, or if they're considering that some minor side thing because everyone knows they're doing it already. For their new partners, SonoHana has been heavily hinted at already, so that's one. The other two are more nebulous. I think they might try to strike a deal with another moege dev. The options for that are quite broad and maybe we'll see something like Clochette, Unison Shift, or Windmill. I'd like to see them get deeper into the Chuuni genre but I kind of doubt we'll see anything like that.

It seems like very few brawls will have unique heroes so you'll usually be able to complete your quests through them. I think I've gotten out of my arena slump lately and I've gotten like 5 10+ win runs in the last week, include 2 12s.

So, in just a little under 3 hours, Sekai Project will be hosting their panel. And in a little under 5 hours, MangaGamer will be holding theirs. For Sekai Project, Root Double has already leaked out. For MangaGamer, SonoHana has been heavily hinted at. For MG's part, they have at least three other announcements. Any other last minute predictions? What do you think is going to happen?

Pretty funny stab at that kind of crappy ZE3 hype site. Well, it's obviously this, which I posted about yesterday in the AX2015 thread.

Way, way back in the day I used to go by the handle DarkKnight. It was a cool and edgy name for a cool and edgy middle schooler. But it was actually lame as hell and after a while I started using another name. However, most of my internet buddies from back then still call me "DK", and I also use the handle "dk382" whenever I sign up for a site I didn't want others to find me on. That sort of morphed into "Decay" when I registered here.

That's... kind of weird. You realize that S doesn't continue off of Agave, right?

There's a decent chance of something being for you tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if MG announced another moege. And JAST has Comic-Con next week where there will supposedly be another announcement, maybe they saved the Alcot game for that. Or maybe they abandoned Alcot?

Most of the excitement comes from the unexpected way it was announced, by JAST instead of MangaGamer. But also yeah, it's supposedly pretty good.

All of them. They will work on them as they're released.

He wanted to do a 72,000 line game by himself as his first project. Remember folks, even if there's an epic untranslated game you love, it's best to start small.

The 4infinity site lead to the (failed) stream of the Zero Escape 3 reveal, so it was just a code name. Don't think too deeply on it.

Nope, not really. There is nothing like Muv Luv if you can only read translated VNs.

Check the OP. 7PM PDT tomorrow.

So yeah, the obvious Zero Escape 3 announcement was made. And no, I will apologize for nothing.

Oh shit guys, it really is the announcement you were waiting for.

Nowhere. There was supposed to be a stream here: http://www.twitch.tv/aksys_nation

This must be the best day of your life.

I don't think it's as long as both put together but yes. It's a 4mb script whereas the whole muv luv series is around 5mb. That's still very long and since it would be a translation from scratch it wouldn't be cheap.

It should be noted that Root Double has been one of Lemnisca's planned projects for a long time but they've been working on Killer Queen/Secret Game/12Riven and maybe some other stuff as well for a while so it was put on a backburner. I imagine the Sekai Project deal brought it right back to the forefront, since none of their other projects seem to have been going anywhere for the last several months. This would explain their perceived inactivity.

The new content comes in the form of whole new arcs, I don't believe they added anything to the original arcs.

A leak just occurred and it has been revealed that one of Sekai Project's announcements will be that they're working with Lemnisca on Root Double. This is pretty dang exciting. It's a very highly rated survival story where nine people have nine hours to survive and... wait. I've heard that one somewhere before. IIRC there is actually some shared pedigree between Root Double and 999. Lemnisca is a quality translation group to partner with, too, previously doing some Infinity stuff, I/O, and Killer Queen. The leak came in the form of the OP on Youtube which has since been taken down. I haven't personally seen it before it was removed but enough other people did to basically confirm it. Also, a SonoHana event will be held at MangaGamer's booth: http://mikajyo.pink/event.html Yeah that doesn't make it obvious at all...

Don't read too much into that. The community manager running the Muv Luv twitter account is also doing some CM work for Sekai Project so I guess the crossover will just be for some cross-promotional stuff. Meanwhile, on their twitter, they're saying an awful lot of stuff needs to be approved by Age. The extra routes aren't even approved yet?? What the hell? They're making a whole lot of really bold claims about what they think they'll be able to do without seeking approval first.
