Muv Luv: A Pretty Sweet Visual Novel Series Kickstarter [MILLION DOLLAR BABY]

[Darklord Rooke]

I think this should be the title on the Box.

 

"Muv Luv - A Pretty Sweet Visual Novel"

 

Instead of Extra / Unlimited. Just have it right there on the box, and that be it's Steam name. Haha.

 

No. 

[BookwormOtaku]

Not sure when they added it, but under the 400k stretch goal they have "Minor voice acting improvements of some scenes with English voices. The voices can be switched back to original under options". This makes me soo happy.

Kind of makes me curious who they'll get to redub the english lines. Keeping my fingers crossed for Team Four Star

[Mkilbride]

No. 

Why not?

Probably because it sounds really unprofessional and self-wanky, it's pretty much an inside joke for fans that could potentialy turn off people who have not already read the series.

But I wanted to gift Muv Luv : A pretty sweet visual novel series to my friends on Steam =(

[Soulless Watcher]

To be fair though, "Muv Luv" already sounds pretty ridiculous.

Gift them ‘Sakura Spirit: Shiny boobies up the wazoo’ instead.

MUV-LUV: Save in the name of true love

[Mkilbride]

Muv Luv: My Girlfriend is the 'Guv

 

But, I'm a fan of Muv Luv and I don't understand the Pretty Sweet Visual Novel inside joke, unless it was just created with this KS.

[Down]

I don't know if it's a joke but I'll make sure it becomes a meme and Degica won't stop hearing about it before a while.

I support this endeavor. I also support Mkilbride's official game title recommendation.

With a Kickstarter campaign, they might engage a true good writer -  as a stretch goal -

Also VNs that are more than 2 hours long. 

[Canicheslayer]

You are creative : you find the second stretch goal

[WinterfuryZX]

ASSO-AMO Extra

ASSO-AMO Illimitato

ASSO-AMO Alternativo

 

translated in italian for the lulz( LOL-LEL Unlimited)

 

amw -17300 usd from the only stretch goal I'm interested in... for now... (I think they better add something else, there's only 3 stretch goals...)

[Decay]

What would they even add at this point, a $900k goal for Kiminozo? I don't know if I even want that. I mean, Alternative won't be out until 9+ months, then there's the current stretch goals, so add a few more months for those. And THEN there's Kiminozo in what, late 2017 or later? Eh. I don't even want to think that long-term. Just give us more shit we can get our hands on now or the near future. 

[Narcosis]

So much hype for nothing. I don't understand you, people.

[Decay]

So much hype for... one of the most popular VN series in the west. It actually makes perfect sense and I don't get what you don't understand, even if you dislike the ML games.

It doesn't make perfect sense; it's just plain obvious and I'm actually mind boogled it took them so much time to consider a Kickstarter for the western release. Not like it makes a huge difference, since most people can't see anything else past their pink-colored glasses anyway.

 

At least now, their success might actually encourage other studios to go in their footsteps.

Well, I put in for $300, but I may either pump it up to $500 or thrown in for an add-on to get that Beta hoodie.  I feel almost obligated to get one somehow since I suggested it on Reddit when they mentioned the plushie.  I kind of meant it as a joke, but...  well, there it is.

It's pretty obvious you don't own a business or have any marketing degrees. Let me explain why this kickstarter was a smart move and makes perfect sense.

 

If we go back a decade or so before Muv Luv became a hit,the VN market in the west was pretty tame. Not to mention if you mention Muv Luv that time, vn readers would be like, what's that game? It took several years for the game to be fully translated? I believe it was 6-7 years from when it was first released. Note that Kickstarter started around 2009, so that's the earliest they could campaign for it, but heck, kickstarter campaigns on its early days were mostly for gadgets or opening a new business. By then, a decent thousand or so in the west would have played Muv Luv but it will never be enough to run an upscaled campaign like they just did this year. It will not be enough to sustain the project and they'll be missing several technologies and many social media mediums to market their stuff.

 

Thus waiting for several more years and seeing a huge movement in the west through their competitors was the best move. With JAST, Mangagamer and all these other companies localizing and bringing over VNs to the west and Steam having their record breaking numbers for greenlighting visual novels, and with Muv Luv fans increasing exponentially in the west after all these years, it was time to finally release it in its masterful form that all fans will love and pay for without batting an eye.

I really wish I could help fund this, but unfortunately it would require international transactions.
