Someone above said he'll only read KEY when they get +18 patches...... I can't lol enough. Although I could just endorse the stereotype of them being terrible, I can add that the newest novels don't have any sex content - Clannad, Rewrite, Planetarian, and that other short one. It's way wiser to read fan fics instead of waiting for something that doesn't even exist.

About this....... I love that they are doing this this way, instead of overpricing the KS and the game itself, and it's nice to see "Key's old style" again, but the coloring is terrible, just horrible. I can get past this if the story is good, and I doubt Mangagamer would risk their reputation with a mediocer game.

 

I said 18+ versions not patch. I'm fully aware that their new stuff don't have 18+ versions. I'm mostly referring to Little Busters where they didn't release the Ecstasy Edition in English or should they translate Kud Wafter to English I would only read the 18+ version of it. I might as well just watch the anime instead since their is nothing to motivate me to go and read the VN instead.

I'm confident enough in Mangagamer that they won't start going to Kickstarters all the time and that this will only happen on rare occasions. You can quote me on that.

If it becomes regular people will probably flip shit. I really don't like how SP does a kickstarter for literally every project to use it as a way to sell stuff rather than to fund an actual project. Especially when its moege.

You literally know that's literally not true and you're literally wrong, right?  Sekai does do a lot of Kickstarters but they also release a lot of games without KS.  They release a lot of games, period.

As for this Kickstarter, it seems to me to be a way for MangaGamer to gauge how much demand there really is for the project.  If their project pulls in five hundred dollars, it's probably not worth spending more than the bare minimum.  If it pulls in five hundred thousand dollars, well, that would be a sign that a lot of people are really interested in this project.

This game will be good

[solidbatman]

says they already invested $30k. they likely don't think they will make any more cash back off the game if they invested more w/o going to kickstarter.

Seems that they only plan to have voice acting if it gets $80,000. It not having voice acting could probably turn a lot of people of.

As if the art style wasn't doing a good enough job for those people who only play VNs for the art.

Yeah, professional Japanese voice actors/actresses are expensive. Especially if they're approaching well known anime seiyuu.

I actually don't mind Itaru's artwork (except maybe pre-Clannad) but I'd agree that in this case it doesn't look great. The coloring in particular doesn't look well done.

100% agreed, the colouring burns my eyes. Reminds me of a circa 2002 flash game.

Just looked at Mangagamer's twitter and found this comment

Mangagamer has released a new update on their blog with a poll regarding 18+ content for Koropokkur. For those of you who wish to see this happen head on over there. http://blog.mangagamer.org/2018/03/06/koropokkur-page-is-now-live-on-kickstarter/

Please take a moment to a fill it out and let us know your thoughts on including adult content drawn by Hinoue Itaru!

Lol. Are they actually trolling her in that sentence, or is it just me?

[bakauchuujin]

I find adding H-scenes to a title that originally didn't intend for it to be rather stupid.

They do mention the scenes will more so be bonus content you unlock rather than be a part of the story. Which is disappointing to me, but I'll take what I can get. Point being it won't affect the game in a negative way if you don't care for the h-scenes.

Personally I am not really interested in the VN, it was just a general stance on implementation of H-scenes. While I like H-scenes that work in the plot, for instance in a nukige or romance VN I just personally feel like if it isn't something that can be put in the VN but needs to be seperate bonus material, due to it not fitting in they should just not have it.

This is the last thing people need in this VN. Horribly drawn h-scenes.

Actually it's even worse. It's horribly drawn and horribly colored h-scenes.

To be fair, I don't think I've ever seen a black-and-white h scene before.

You weren't gonna read it anyways.

The same people who say that "companies are censoring games with all ages" are asking for a +18 content in this one. But eh, in the end, Mangagamer will do whatever is better for their sales.

I am one of the people who always ask for an uncensored release and I don't want to force anything into 18+ if it isn't planned to be one. Though I am only one person and many people do what you just wrote.

[Dergonu]

It's extra content added as DLC for those who want it. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. Those who want to can. Everybody wins. I don't see the reason to complain, tbh...
