DUDE, YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO. ARE YOU RETARDED?

GAHH I can't read this route it's embarrassing me. Jesus christ Tatsuya get your shit together.

Did the SP damage control work?

>Right now we have dovac strapped to a bed with a mouth guard like Hannibal Lecter. We only go near him to feed or to get budgets approved.

The new Sakura game actually looks awful.

How the fuck did they manage to go backwards in the art department?

Audi is lying out of his ass

Can you not fuck with the OP? Retard.

I think their sprites always had that look to them.

Sakura CG by that one artist looks great though.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Why do two of them think I can't learn a language

>sex involving smegma

Does anybody here actually like this. All it does is ruin perfectly good blowjob scenes for me to the point where I end up skipping them.

They shit these out every few months, it'd be more surprising if the "quality" didn't fall apart.

It's the fetish for intellectuals.

I read one such a scene in Heat Blades Haruka. One of the ninjas went and sucked some kids.
It was okay

Some SP guy named Aginyan:
>While there's no stopping rumor and speculation, I'll jump in here with a few comments that don't violate people's personal privacy and/or confidentiality.

>As far as I'm aware, the site's issues seem to be stemming from ongoing work w/ the site and general tech hiccups. Issues will be fixed as we become aware of things.

>As for everything else...

>Overall, Sekai Project has, in 3 years time, grown from essentially 2 guys in a spare room to a company that has an office with multiple full-time employees and contractors.

>With all that growth into a formal company means that employees will join and leave for various reasons, even long-time employees. It isn't the first time people have left, and won't be the last. The organization remains and is still dedicated to the goal of bridging language barriers between creators and their fans.

>Incidentally, dovac is alive, well and working. Anyone secretly rejoicing that he's forever gone can start being disappointed now.

...

I like that guy's screen cleaner.

Oh fuck.
Well, we can always try one more time

>well
Why would he lie?

Was this all a false flag to purge the anti-Dovac staffers among SP? He probably got this idea from Erdogan himself.

That's pretty amusing user, someone should post that on the Reddit thread

>You're in the club and this guy slaps your girlfriend's ass
>What do you do?

Pay for the hotel

>Dovac was ACCIDENTALLY removed from the staff page
>The site was ACCIDENTALLY redirecting to "It's the end"
>Dovac ACCIDENTALLY removed all mention of working for Sekai Project from his twitter

It's all just a coincidence. Nothing going on here.

>IGNORE THE BURNING BUILDING EVERYTHINGS FINE

Nearly identical to Audi's spin. I'm impressed, Sekai Project can actually coordinate something!

...

Can you not fuck with the OP? Retard?

What if hes just going to work in the shadows since every time he opens his mouth on one site or another a massive shitstorm follows?

He just fired two people for telling him he needs to shut up and stop running his mouth.

Their regular artist, the guy that did Sakura Dungeon, Spirit and the others I forget the names of - he's actually really good.
Wasted on Sakura games. Their scripts are always terrible.

Its those fucking faces. The rest could be fine, but those faces are Ooyari tier

He has tried doing that before. He has deleted his Twitter account, what, two times? He always needs to come back for attention whoring though.

I seriously have no idea what a nut case like him is doing in charge of a company. He has the mental fortitude of a middle-school drama-queen.

we dont know that, not yet anyways. Maybe they hired them at the same time and their contracts expired and they never renewed, instead going to be looking for another job.

Im just going to wait for some announcement or concrete proof is all.

>Dovac tries to vandalize SP's page when they cut him off from the public accounts
>Can't even do that right

Ooyari is great though, I love his alien faces.

God dammit, is it really that hard to write up some basic Moege tier script? I can do that shit in 10 minutes with basic plot and event outlines. It could be really successful if they stepped up their writing game and got some half decent VAs

>two PR guys are "let go" conveniently after a public outburst from Dovac in which he tells everyone he hates the visual novel market and never wanted to do visual novels anyway
Yeah. Very convenient.

Have you looked at anything they've posted at all? It was obviously a surprise to them, and they're obviously not happy about it.

That's not how people react to finding a new job or something they knew was coming like a contract expiring.

Dude, this guy obviously didn't leave of his own accord. Watch the video. twitter.com/Regris_Kallen/status/760623515795992576

What is this kind of sensible bullshit answer doing in a VN thread? Get your ass on the conspiracy theory train like the rest of us.

maybe his investors or licence holders advise him to be "socially interactive" thus him coming back

Hey im enjoying the conspiracy theorycrafting as much as the next guy, but I like to look at it from a more "positive" side before shit gets revealed eventually.

t. aginyan

They could do away with VAs entirely if they just got a better writer. It's the aspect of the game the player is in contact with most, so having it be terrible brings everything else down.
They have a good thing going with their games; apart from the writing and general lack of porn, Sakura Dungeon was pretty good.
They may have ripped off Demon Master Chris, but it ended up being better than the aforementioned game.
Apart from the lack of porn. Nude CGs lasting for a few seconds doesn't cut it.

>socially interactive
>"wahhh my tommy hurts"
>"wahhh i passed out again"
>"wahhh im coughing again"
Have you seen his Twitter? It's 90% whining. If the license holders knew about this I doubt they would encourage him to keep at it. Let alone do business with him.

Is the japanese name Abe pronounced the same as the english one?

...

ah-bay

It's pronounced ah-be, with be pronounced the same way you pronounce "bet" or "bear"

>that broken spirit
Has Dovac gone too far this time?

Business is business. Some people just have to go.

He probably got let go for a shitty reason, though.

The guy was obviously fired or forced out somehow. For what reason who knows, but no one who has read his twitter feed could argue that he left for some opportunity.

Reminder moogy is the one orchestrating all the chaos happening at Sekai Project because he wants the Baldr Sky deal to fail to spite EOPs.

Impressive. I don't get this game, though, or any like it. It's just softcore porn that leaves you feeling uncomfortable in your trousers. Why buy a full price game for that feeling when there's actual porn available for free, or eroge for a smaller premium?

Well, console games, ecchi or not, tend to have higher production levels and are actually fun games with decent design and some depth compared to a lot of gameplay eroge or doujin stuff that /hgg2d/ plays. They also put more effort into the story and characters since it can't sell on the porn alone.

And playing them can just be build-up for full-on porn which is useful too.

Will Amagami ever be picked up officially?

By someone releasing games for the PS2?

They've ported PSP and Vita titles before. They could probably do it for a PS2 title.

No, they haven't.

Do you have proof?

I’ll be honest, I’m quite a bit blown away by the attempts at rationalizing and downplaying the blatant misogynistic and apparent sub-par quality of this game. I haven’t played it, but the screenshots and videos I’ve seen have made me cringe and nearly gag.

I mean, are you guys seeing what I’m seeing? This game is nothing more than rehashed generic anime bullshit(even for 2003), catering specifically to horny men of varying ages who want to delve into masturbatory fantasy.

I don’t want to come off too judgemental, people are entitled to their fantasies and escapism, but lets not pretend that this VN is representative of quality, meaningful storytelling. This is nothing more than censored hentai(till the patch) with a plot shoehorned in as a vehicle to indulge male-centrist fantasy. I mean, how many dudes are playing this game and not jerking off? I’d be hard pressed to believe those who aren’t are not in the stark minority.

This steam review alone had me groan:

“A few minutes in and I’ve already hit my girlfriend three times and cheated on her.”

UGGGGHHHHHHHH #GROANZONE

This is great pasta, okawari kudasai.

I know this is bait but I have to say I'm kind of disappointed. That Steam review could have at least used a creative interpretation to make the protagonist sound bad instead of just making stuff up.

Was there ever a scene of this, or is it just a single cg?

It's just promotional art, not from in-game. Unless it's in the fandisc

You're attacked by a wild Midori, what do you do?


Seriously though, it's rare you actually get a sizeable best girl route.

> MIsogynistic.
> Literally almost the entire cast consists of strong independent women because all the men got themselves killed.
> Takeru is the least competent person in the entire HQ until he's taught to proficiency over months.
> There's no harem at all. Just a love triangle.

Yeah but did you see their body suits?

They're gross.

That's not how proving things have been done works.

I'm not sure I'd consider most of the cast strong and independent. Pink loli and Sumika most definitely aren't.

There's totally a harem. I don't know what story you're reading if you don't think all the girls were after Takeru. They just weren't as blatant or aggressive as Sumika and Meiya.

>Strong independent women
>Completely subservient to the protagonist's D

Who cares?

The person I was responding to, obviously.

I do you misogynistic shitlord.

hey guys , any of these intallers is working.

any help???

I must have low standards for comedy because these small jokes about Chihaya being a mecha always crack me up.

Common route is literally the only good part of this kusoge

So Grisaia and Rewrite have something in common, that's neat.

Can you not fuck with my penis? Slut.

I hope Japan steps it up and start making VNs that don't appeal to misogynistic male-centric fantasies.

Will he regret this?

It's okay

I'm going to save everyone

so how's that mosaic going, boys?

pretty pixelated
