Qrqe Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 1 hour ago, Decay said: You're ignoring option 3 of selling the new game in English and set the price appropriate for the English market. They'll be two different prices for the two different markets. This already happens, just with launches that are somewhat close instead of simultaneous. Kara no Shoujo 2 is cheaper here than in Japan, for instance. Wagamama High Spec is releasing maybe within the next four months and that came out earlier this year, you can bet the prices will be different. Nope, The japs are already sensitive about the price of the games since they are already very overpriced, if some company would try to release them at the same time and make it cheaper for the english market they'll just boycot and make them go bankrupt. Kara no shoujo 2 got released in english after "2.5 Years" of the original release date, and wagamama high spec will be released at least after "one year" of the original release date. Sure you can sell like this, if they put one year between those releases no one will mind the price diference, but at the same time? As I said, just impossible. Quote

Huh, so the Japanese are like Chinese in my place. Racists in their core and will abandon their own if they tried to curry favor for others. Makes sense since they share the same descendants. Quote

I wouldn't recommend using it as an abbreviation because it will offend people. Please don't use it. I wish they'd translate G.I.B.. I'm aware that it's most likely an average moege (aka shit), but I'd still buy it You mean TRIGGER? Alright, I just edit it out just for saving those people's insecurity of a word~ Huhu~ Hard to say when in my place, jap is a short for another word which means "wait for a minute". Oh well, differences of culture and place I suppose. Some things people find offended won't make any sense, especially in today's era. Quote

Well first of all most of their japanese customers dont really want to do anything with western market and will blame them as "instead of wasting time with translating, make better games first!" at their first mistake, so yeah they have some kind of racism but I dont really think the "price" problem is a part of it. $95 is just too expensive for an eroge, specially for an average moege. They are barely swallowing that price just for the sake of supporting the industry, and if you release the same game at the same time for a different price because "those people wouldnt buy it for $95", they'll go like "oh we wont buy it for such a price as well then". There are many alternatives after all, instead of buying Whirlpool game they'd just buy another game from the same month. As I said, japanese people (or at least the eroge customers part) are really sensitive at some strange points, for example there were a huge shitstorm about the Sagaplanet's Hanasaki game, just because one heroine made a joke about cheating and other one used a vibrator. Another example is Chrono Clock, they took out the h-scenes from the story, and added them to the galery so it'd be easier to make it all-ages but there were so much complains that both of the company and writer had to apologize about it. Its not like "releasing at the same time" will have any impact at western sales anyway, why would they bother with all those shits instead of releasing one year later and get all the money from both of sides, doesn't make sense at all.

yorikbad Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 While we were talking, someone made a bold move http://store.steampowered.com/app/493450/ How you can turn nukige https://vndb.org/v19773 in all-age? Apparently, it has dog girl, fox girl and even racoon girl... So... another smart market research? Quote
Forgetful Frank Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I'd definitely be interested in it, the more translated VN's the merrier. Although I do agree with the general consensus in getting more medium-longer VN's rather than the short ones we've been getting like Nekopara and Corona Blossom. I can't comment on CB, as I haven't played it yet, but as much as I did enjoy the Nekopara games, they're too short! Would definitely love more VN's with Princess Evangeline's length coming our way officially. But saying that, of course I won't turn away more of the shorter ones, especially if they're at least decent and worth the read. novurdim 1 Quote
Satsuki Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Digging this thread up. This is Whirlpool's next title, which really is a low-price one. No mention about an English release atm though. http://whirlpool.co.jp/nekonin/ Okarin and Nandemonai 2 Quote
Okarin Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Know little and less about Whirlpool, but this is always great news. Bought Harmonia and probably will keep buying this kind of release (if the TL is any good, no more Konosoras plz). Quote
Asonn Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 A bit sad that it's not the same artist that did the latest few titles from whirlpool.. but it's still looks okay I guess. Quote
Yuuko Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 Steam release date confirmed to be April. No other news. Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Of course it's catgirls. Did the nekopara success just make every Japanese eroge dev go "we can make big bucks if we release a catgirl VN on steam!" ? WinterfuryZX 1 Quote

Benji Price Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I honestly hope they get get huge profits from this and encourage other companies to do the same. Be old titles or new, once they see how profitable the western market may be, I'm pretty sure next step will be getting in with a higher cost title. As everything, it's a matter of time to see how this works out. Quote

Yuuko Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Just now, Zenophilious said: Has anyone read the JP release, and is it just as bad as it comes off as? While it might look like Nekopara and has fluffy moments with cat girls it is still different from Nekopara on many levels. Of course it is still a short game that isn't exactly good but it wasn't bad either. Spoiler Quote
Yuuko Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 20 minutes ago, Zenophilious said: Is the "bit of action" at the very bottom of the Steam description an exaggeration? I can't imagine they'd have any satisfying fight scenes in a short, fluffy moe-filled VN. If it's anything like Nekopara, the plot will just be an excuse to for the MC to play hide the pickle. The ending is "bit of action" after all the fluff. (See the screenshot in the spoiler in my last post.) I don't know if I can call those fights satisfying but it does have fighting scenes. Quote
