Acen 2017

[Yotek]

Hey all, as usual here's my once a year post before I go back to lurking again. Today at ACEN was the Denpasoft panel. Below are the videos from today. I recommend sticking around for the Q&A, it gets funny and weird. I'll post pictures later when I'm not drunk/tired. Tomorrow is Sekai Project and Mangagamer. I'll add them when I can.

Thanks a lot for this!

Cool looks like I can finally buy G-Senjou no Maou if the game ends up not being horribly cropped.

Honestly I'm quite glad they finally gave denpasoft a panel...about damn time.

Thanks for the thread.

Anyway, we apparently already saw Denpasoft announcement which is 18+ subsidiary for Sekai iirc. As for my comment, quite mixed to be honest but at least we got one new partner there. For Wagahigh, at least it got 18+ version if I may say something. G-Senjou ummmm....., at least they'll be able to buy uncensored version legally I suppose (It's very redundant if I may blunt). The new announcement was Re:Lord, and looks like it'll be had some kind of gameplay (Albeit ecchi one, stripping). Looks good, but apparently it's still the first part of trilogy so not interested.

Well, that's all for now and I'll looking what Sekai and Mangagamer will offer later.

They say that the 18+ version will probably be cropped.

Damn it. I'll have to wait and see then.

[Codesterz]

So still nothing on an 18+ Maitetsu?

Sekai Project just announced the Hoshizora no Memoria kickstarter with the potential for the fan disc as an add-on. Which means you'll have to pay extra for it even if you back the main game. I honestly don't really support kickstarters anymore but the good news is that the game is also coming to denpasoft so I'll just wait for that.

There will be a full uncensored version on Denpasoft with the H scenes included!

Re;Lord is also getting a sekai Project steam version

[Tatanka82]

Wait why again a Kickstarter??? I thought the game is already retranslated? (I just wait till they announce a Sakusaku Kickstarter too....)

personally i´m more turned off by those suddenly popping out of nowhere, completly lacking a prefundia of sorts, or where the whole thing basically consists of 2-3 sentenses at the beginning, a short summary of its story and some tabulary whatnot, almost like taking a successful campaign for granted a la things will probably work out anyway as long as there´s a somehow moderate funding-goal to it.

[RikiSanic]

They're not really advertising it that much but I noticed this note on the stretch goal section.

If I'm interpreting it correctly, it looks like you'll be able to get the complete box for $60 without any digital items for those who are interested in that.

They've mostly shifted to using them to fund physical copies.  They explicitly state that they've already obtained the money required to translate the original VN, and the money is for making physical copies and producing other physical goods.

SP confirmed that physical copies will be 18+.  Think I might actually back this one 

Oh thank you

I guess I should inform myself better ^-^ 

[Yotek]

Based on what they have been saying it sounds like the biggest issues they have are costs related to physical copies. Thus, the kickstarters. I'll have Sekai Project panel up tonight so people can interpret it themsleves.

Finally had Mangagamer announcement, and .....let's just said that at least we had Funbag Fantasy fandisc (Sideboob Story) there if you interested with that franchise. The other announcement was from Atelier Sakura, and it was another NTR called Marina's Cuckolding Report.

Well I didn't expect much from Mangagamer at this announcement anyway in the first place, although at least it was no hardcopy announcement like last year if I may say something.

PS - Here's their tweets for the proof.

Mangagamer seems to have used ACEN primarily for their nukige as they announced Funbag Fantasy Sideboob Stories and Marina's Cuckolding Report. (neither link is sfw) Bit disappointing but then they usually save the good stuff for AX and Otakon anyway.

I don't see that on the kickstarter page tho. Just the $90 for the physical copies. Which I think is ridiculous when MG does their physical copies for $50 and that includes art book and ost disc. Unless the fan disc is guaranteed to be included.

FYI "Sideboob Story" is more of a proper sequel than a fandisc, as far as I'm aware. It's Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden, which it and its further sequel are considered the best games in the series, with more actual story in addition to the copious amounts of titties. 

[Tyr]

Announcing Marina kinda proves my hypothesis that Mangagamer isn't really interested in bringing NTR eroge to the west. They are only interested in bringing cuckold nukige (meaning consensual adultery aka the most boring subgenre of NTR) since that is a porn genre already established here and normies are familiar with the concept.
But NTR games with actual drama, meaningful relationship problems, suspense, angst ... you know, all the good stuff? Eh, probably not.

If that's the case, then this tittle, while witty and funny, is strongly missleading.

You want to confront this special snowflake generation that only plays these games for wish fulfillment to get a taste of reality? Might as well tell teenagers to play games instead of looking at them on Youtube. Or tell fat people to run a marathon. Or otakus to get a real life and a GF/BF/*F.

 

One does not simply put reality in something used to flee from it.

 

And let's be honest: Eroge/VNs turned into nothing more than "AnImU-BEEWBs" or "I-want-a-gril-but-will-never-get-on-in-reality-cuz-I'm-weird-and-or-ugly: The Relationship Simulator".

Disclaimer: Nothing in this piece of is meant to be taken serious. It might be true, but it's not to be read as serious opinion. NOT SERIOUS.

Uhhh...yeah, it's there, I'm looking right at it.  It's on the image for the Eternal Heart TL stretch goal, right underneath the section which lists the contents of the upgraded box.  I have no idea what you're talking about.

Way to be condescending. How about being helpful and friendly Mr. Mod instead of treating others like they are idiots. I see it now. It is not in the actual tiers. So for $60 which gets you the Complete Box set, you get eternal heart?

Sorry for the wait, took 6 hours to upload on my horrible internet connection. Also... anyone else think only of Tay and his trolls when they saw Sekai Projects "Maiden Voyage"....

Videos for Sekai project and MangaGamer have been added to the main post as well as a picture of their booths and discount codes. I'll be at the con again today and they close at 4pm. If anyone has questions they want me to ask let me know and I'll see what I can do. Please no mean questions and make them easy to see. I'll be in a sea of 30,000 people.

Have you compared them? Mangagamer's physicals are much smaller.

How so? Box does not count. Do you get more stuff or something? Not trying to sound like a dick, I am actually curious.

100% agreed.

2017, and not one good translated NTR eroge. Sad world we live in.
