First for totally talented not-a-tire.
Henry Davis
fuck thee
Wyatt Price
So when is SPs Subashitty announcement?
Elijah Davis
>He's right though. America and the western world in general is extremely afraid of nipples and lolis for some reason. We need a new Hitler to gas all SJW. SJWs are bigger puritans than any christfag I've ever seen
Jose Howard
SP isn't doing Subahibi, are they? I thought that the company was directly publishing it.
Jayden Murphy
Only Conjuerors secret project can save us now
Juan Lopez
Ah, I'm out of the loop.
Jaxson Ortiz
Dovac hates lolis. Don't support sekai.
Dominic Garcia
HELLO COMMUNITY. Hear me out. Consuming translated VNs is all right but let us not be confined by the speed and reliability of them. Learn small bits of kanji and grammar on the side and eventually, even if 3 years later, you'll be able to enjoy any porn you want.
Thomas Morris
What is this nigger doing
Liam Ortiz
Yeah, I agree! In the end it will be worth it.
Mason Bailey
Wishful thinking 101
Dominic Bell
Please make sure to fund the Nekopara anime for us
Gabriel Mitchell
Grammar is too fucking hard to learn, I keep trying but I can never understand what sentences are trying to convey, even when I understand all the kanji and words and particles
Benjamin Stewart
...
Owen King
Just go watch Asobi ni Iku yo or something
Jack Smith
This is normal in the beginning. Just read more.
Ethan Baker

Mason Hill
It's pretty damn different from "western" languages but it's possible. Someday I'll be discussing kamige with the celebs too!
Henry Davis
Too bad VNs stopped being relevant years ago :(
Gavin Smith
VNs were never relevant retard
Jordan Jones
if you have programming experience, try visualizing a sentence in Japanese as a stack data structure
push words onto the stack, and upon encountering certain grammar structures, pop words off the stack and then combine them to determine their meaning
of course, if you're not a programmer you will have no idea what the fuck I'm taking about
Levi Harris
At least Clover Days is almost done
Hunter Reyes
It'll be picked up by Sekai when it's 99% done.
Jeremiah Ross
After sitting in QC for months with no updates or word from the translation team.
Isaac Richardson
That translator works for sekai.
Elijah Smith
Is there someone left who hasn't sold out?
Robert Cox
Me
Kayden Gonzalez
Quof. He's our guy.
Angel Morris
That's the main organizer/translator. There have been a few other translators that have been helping out with that project as well, and the main organizer seems pretty adamant on Twitter about it being strictly a fan project.
Also, they've been pretty good about releasing partials whenever they make decent progress. So who knows? Better to expect nothing though, I suppose.
Nolan Morris
He works for sekai so what I expect is lies.
Jason Perry
Is he right? Is everyone acting entitled?
Kevin Anderson
I thought most of the comments there were pretty tame. Most don't seem to be blaming their team for selling their translation, but just expressing disappointment that Sekai was the one who picked them up.
Luis Rivera
...
David Davis
everyone who doesnt agree with my opinions is entitled
Jaxon Phillips
Literally who?
Sebastian Lopez
>vn community: 'we want to play A' >sekai: 'nah you don't want A. you want B and C' >sekai: 'but wait, there's more. instead of B and C we're changing it to b and c' >vn community: 'fuck off' >sekia: 'lol stop acting like your entitled to anything and just be glad we're releasing something' >sekai: 'its your fault that the vn scene is dying, not ours'
Jayden Perez
Entitled TL team thinks they're entitled to my purchase even if they chose a partner I don't like. It's a two way street.
Kevin Myers
>Most comments boil down to "It's cool you guys are getting paid but it's a shame it's with Sekai project they suck" >OMG SO ENTITLED
Adrian Campbell
>translator responded seriously to the Milky Way pasta kek
Ayden Perez
Surprisingly Maggot Baits isn't that far behind Baldr Sky in terms of retweets and likes.
I'm honestly a bit shocked that so many people are hyped for it. I guess more people are into guro than I thought?
Mason Hill
It's a difficult situation. After reading the comments I feel like most of the people aren't upset that they ended up giving the TL out, but they're upset that they have to pay Dovac and his cronies to support the original publisher.
The VN community is autistic as fuck and they don't forget slights against them. Sekai fucked up numerous times with PR, delays, and censorship and people remember that; grudges go a very long way. People are more likely to not purchase it out of spite even if it means that they also won't give money to the original publisher(s). After all, they can always support the original publisher(s) via purchasing it through imports, buying their merchandise, etc. and then just pirate the game later on.
Benjamin Green
weird fetish shit always sells extremely well because the crowd that likes it realize that very few people actually supply that material and they are willing to support it strongly to ensure that they keep getting more of it
need i point you to the patreons that some furfag creators have? those niggas bring in mad bucks for fucking pictures and shitty games.
Adrian Flores
>The VN community is autistic as fuck and they don't forget slights against them. Like how everyone remembered the Shiny Day's patch fiasco when Seinarukana came out? Like how everyone recalled the Flower's demo when Sonicomi came out? Like how everyone boycotted Karakara and Nekopara because they're published by Sekai Project?
Hudson Ramirez
who is this qt animes?
Easton Powell
>Like how everyone recalled the Flower's demo when Sonicomi came out? The person who shat all over Flower's awful initial translation eventually recalled his statements after seeing the latest progress on Flower's. It is supposedly in a much better place now than it was when the original demo came out.
Nekopara and Karakara can't really be said to be representative of the fanbase in general because tons of faux weebs love that shit but they don't care about the medium in general. Nekopara especially sells like hot-cakes mostly due to how absolutely cheap it is and the meme status built up around it provided by streamers and other e-celebs.
Hudson Harris
Karakara was fucking shit I refunded that garbage immediately
Levi Gutierrez
You could have read the entire thing before the refund timer came up. It's that short.
Brody Cooper
Will it surpass CHOMP.gif?
Luke Myers
>The person who shat all over Flower's awful initial translation eventually recalled his statements after seeing the latest progress on Flower's. Well yeah, he'd recall his statements on a shitty translation after it gets retranslated. Point being, that was a major slight (Jast essentially hiring someone who doesn't know Japanese and making a pure guesslation patch), and it was forgotten.
When I mentioned Nekopara and Karakara I'm talking about how popular it is even in this thread. Cleaned, Sekai projects slights are not a big enough deal to not play their games.
Caleb Stewart
I know. And I did. The average play time seems to be 2 and a half hours.
Lincoln White
If his project was done well, I will have no problem spending money on it.
Jacob Kelly
SO is it confirmed that Dies Irae will not have 18+ content AT ALL or just on the steam version which is to be expected?
Aaron Thomas
Dies Irae? Wat?
Brody Perez
You mean Baldr Sky? Don't expect an 18+ release for the moment as there is absolutely no indication there will be one.
Aaron Moore
yeah, fuck i got confused.
Joshua Turner
Giga tweeted there won't be, at all.
Parker Wood
welp, into the trash it goes. I wonder if it was a conscious decision on their part or SP.
Ian Powell
Probably both.
Parker Wilson
>SP As expected from Yen press of VN.
David Richardson
Can't we just use their translation on japanese +18 version ? Because I'm okay with some japanese "ah,ah, slurp, ck, hhh" text when it come to that point.
Cameron Richardson
some part of me hopes that nobody buys the all-ages version of Baldr and everyone just pirates it and splices the h-content into it so we can laugh about it.
Elijah Brown
Why ? Is there a lot of taboo scenes?
Hunter Thompson
What will actually happen is Baldr will blow up with normies, and every single future localization will cut out all h / loli content to cater to them because they're the ones bringing in the money.
Hail America.
Jeremiah Hughes
How SakuSaku is going to be released on Steam? It's a incestuous erogame.
Just how ?
They will censor it?
Jackson Young
Giga doesn't like westerners
Jayden White
Yen Press is actually reliably on schedule, doesn't buy fan translations, is backed by Hachette and Kadokawa instead of begging for cash on Kickstarter, and doesn't censor releases. Comparing them to Sekai Project is an insult even to them.
Grayson Perez
Script rewrite
Brody Clark
Nah, they can make her a NBR.
Damn, please kill me now.
Christian Sanders
You guys should be more grateful.
Julian Baker
When they fall in love she'll stop and look at the camera and say, "Btw we're not actually blood related lol"
Christopher Cruz
Fuck off, chuee.
Michael Walker
I agree. Don't care who on this project but the outcome will finally let me read this shit. So, I'm happy. Now if just someone pick up Dies Irae too.
Juan Brooks
Reminds me of that one loli game where they broke the 4th wall to mention that they're actually 18+.
Jaxon Lee
Is he right?
Benjamin Ramirez
is there a source on that? I would be impressed if they still somehow managed to bring it over, I thought most jap companies would be just scared of backlash, like something on the scale of Rapelay they managed to release Nekopara it'll be fine
Jordan Garcia
I wont be mad if they keep the imouto blood related with the MC.
Levi Powell
How will they censor the nazi game?
Ayden Evans
Alcot games are known for doing that
Anthony Miller
Doddler will save the day.
Justin Carter
I will need to learn japanese to play the true and uncensored story then? seriosly?
FUCK MY ASS
Camden Rogers
>they managed to release Nekopara it'll be fine nekopara doesnt have incest
Jaxson Russell
But we must for protect Doddler from the Canadian Inquisition.
David Green
I really hope when the Sharin no Kuni kickstarter fails or performs below expectations, that they use the 18+ content patch as a scapegoat.
Tyler Phillips
Fucking cat girl isn't bestiality.
Jaxon Hughes
i bet dracu-riot has already been picked up in the shadows as well
Jayden Baker
>Vanilla on chocolat action >Catgirl sisters >not incest k
Cameron Cooper
Admit it, if you were translating a VN and Sekai Project came to you with offers of big bucks, you'd sell out too.
Charles Reyes
I agree, both of them are shit but at least YP is less shit than SP.
Chase King
I hate Sekai enough that I would be able to turn down the money.
Isaac Evans
No, no I wouldn't. I definitely would if it was Mangagamer. Jast, maybe.
Justin Torres
To mg or even jast oh yes
Thomas Morgan
I would and then leak the translation shortly after
Mason Evans
thats sisterly love on the next level you fool.
Xavier Gonzalez
Sekai doesn't have enough to give me sufficiently big bucks to sell out like that. I have principles, and all Sekai has is kickstarter. I would sell out to MG or JAST probably, assuming it wasn't a glorified "here's $50, get yourself something nice before we C&D you"
Blake Bell
i want to marry doddler
Parker White
good. Then maybe we will get the complete game.
Owen Ross
Not even for 1 billion dollars if it was a project I was passionate about. Now if it was something I did out of boredom then you better fucking believe it, i'd sell out for cheap too.
Kevin Hall
Also if I already do translating for free at first, I wouldn't sell my work later even if I would get huge money. If I'm asked to join a project, as long as it's not SP, I will join it for fun.
