Yes, that's the full CG from the game I linked in the OP. You can see characters from other Mink games in the picture, like the main girl from Mink EGO's first NTR title.

Tyrosyn pointed out that the maid character is from Hell Guide. I scoured product pages and neither the man nor the loli seem to be in that game.

While playing 13-nin no Uruwashiki Kedamono, I came across some characters that appear to be cameos from another game (likely a Mink title). The picture below is a cut-out from a much larger CG. However I searched through Mink's lineup and couldn't find any matches. Google image search wasn't helpful either (their loli facial recognition appears to need work). Any idea what game these characters are from?

So I was browsing Winged Cloud's Patreon page, since they broke my Sakura Dungeon uncensor patch link and I had to figure out a workaround, and I stumbled on some new info. Two of their upcoming games include Sakura Adventure and Sakura Space. I saw some preview CG for Sakura Adventure and some Patreon comments before my access was revoked and then reinstated (maybe this is content I wasn't supposed to see?). I also saw a backer complain that Winged Cloud didn't even bother to announce Sakura Dungeon to backers when it went live on Nutaku (link). Winged Cloud responded that they didn't have a dedicated PR person and therefore they weren't able to properly manage backer communication. Sakura Adventure teaser CG

I think the better question is: why would anyone learn one of the hardest languages for a native English speaker to acquire just to play video games / do other useless things? There's many more productive uses of one's time on one hand, and more interesting / entertaining things to do with that time on the other.

I approve of your elaborate metaphor for Sekai Project's questionable handling of Maitetsu.

MangaGamer is the same company that leaked their customer database (including real names and e-mail addresses, if I remember correctly) to a crazed anti-pedophilia activist.

Confirmed: This entire video is a rant about Sekai Project's crowdfunding misadventures. I'm not sure why this needed a 20-minute video. Also, Sekai Project is hardly the only English eroge publisher that has mishandled releases. All 3 major publishers have a history of mismanaging various aspects of their business. Calling any of them professional operations would be a bit of a stretch.

Reddit is fine for news on niche topics like visual novels, and for occasionally enlightening dissenting viewpoints that you might not see on mainstream news sites. But at its core Reddit is a hivemind like 4chan, and furthermore relies on popularity as the metric for what gets displayed to you. That metric is inherently flawed. Mainstream news sites also rely on popularity as a metric, but they're somewhat less susceptible to memes and outright pandering at least. In the end, Reddit is at its best when the active users are experts on the subject matter. The broader the subject and the wider the audience, the less likely this is to be the case. The "fix" for issues like these is greater user accountability. Ironically, greater accountability tends to coincide with greater censorship (self-censorship or otherwise). Reddit would be a different place I think if every user had to use their real name and face with a link to where they work.

Eushully games have to be installed with both non-Unicode and region format set to Japanese. If you didn't do that you'll have to reinstall the game.

Fuwa uses 2-3% CPU for me on Temporal theme (Chrome). This jumps to 14% on the Infinite Stomach theme. The reason is pretty clear: it's the animation in the header. That should be disabled in the theme.

Sonico is a pretty sexualized character though. Nigri's "style" is pretty much perfect for this game (even though whatever visual style she might have is completely irrelevant since all she'll be doing is voicing a character).

Nutaku was eager to give me a review copy. You can try them. PM me if you need the e-mail address of the contact that provided me the review copy. They did request however that I mention their store in the review.

Winged Cloud hasn't responded to comments on Twitter for a year. Contacting them there seems pretty useless. Your best bet is to sponsor them on Patreon and connect with them there. They only listen to money.

I'm not "salty" about Zack Parsons. His "reviews" were genuinely entertaining, and he was on good terms with JAST USA and Peter Payne. In any case, he spent quite a bit of time on games he "hated". Just like Aroduc.

What? What does the Littlewitch Romanesque Kickstarter drama have to do with Eushully? As far as I can tell Aroduc hates on everything. Like Zack Parsons of SomethingAwful.

I think I've read so many Japanese VNs that I tend to use Japanese-style ellipses in my normal writing. Oh well, at least I don't throw random Japanese words into my sentences... ... do "loli", "anime", and "otaku" count?

I'd recommend playing on Hard difficulty. It's referred to as "Normal" in the manual, so that's likely the setting the game was balanced around, and it makes encounters challenging without the need for additional grind. Testers might've complained, which is why "Easy" was changed to "Normal" and made the default.

A right-click works for me.

@tymmur @Nekolover JAST made some changes to the coloring. Does the layout still cause physical discomfort? They also fixed the permissions issue the other users ran into.

If you want the best of both worlds, use VNR to hook and Translation Aggregator to display the ATLAS results.

Fair enough. JAST said they'd consider an 18+ version or patch for Aselia. I've notified JAST about the complaints that the color palette causes some physical discomfort.
