HAHA DUDE THE SAKURA SERIES IS SO GOOD MAN HAHA BOOBS HAHA 18+ PATCH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THIS IS THE BEST, AND ONLY VISUAL NOVEL SERIES EVER RIGHT?
I'M ON THE WEIRD PART OF STEAM HAHAHAHAHA
Christopher Morris
How do I fix my resolution in Hoshimemo? it's kinda shit atm
Luke Gutierrez
better question, how the fuck do I zoom in and out? Some of these sprites are cut off
Michael Jenkins
are you alright dude
Logan Williams
Finally got all the stars.
Wyatt Scott
What are all those apples?
Jeremiah Butler
...
Ayden Murphy
Nothing in that shit is canon come Rakuen anyway, who cares.
Luke Ward
When are they going to make a Sakura Kill Yourself?
Evan Cook
Why is Sakura Dungeon twice as expensive?
Jeremiah Foster
Sakura dungeon is the only game that's remotely okay to own until someone comes out with a better monster girl Pokemon like game.
William Campbell
What happens when Himawari bombs?
Leo Ortiz
Because it's the only one that's truly worth anything.
It's a monster girl game that's pretty much legend of grimrock+senran kagura+pokemon.
It's okay.
Carter Turner
If Sakura Games can sell, then I can make an ironic Chess game and then slap waifu skins onto the chess pieces and it'll make money.
John Thomas
Grimrock II is a dollar on humble bundle right now.
How funny.
Isaiah Hill
How can Sakura Games sell but kamige like Fata Morgana have to be shilled hard to get any sales?
Nicholas Long
Because Sakura spirit got mad attention on YouTube similar to HuniePop.
People dig the almost hentai games.
Even though both have 18+ Patches.
Ian Miller
Because one has easy appeal while the other doesn't.
Joshua Torres
One is actually good.
Leo Baker
...
Parker Hill
Would you play a candy bar VN?
Joseph Gomez
Wake me up when Gore Screaming Show has a translation.
Dylan Murphy
Nah.
Famous last words.
Carson Russell
t. Rip Van Winkle
Connor Hall
I wouldn't. But the normalfags of Steam were estatic over getting to date pigeons in Hatoful Boyfriend.
Jordan Sanders
Sakura Games had people shilling it via youtubers let's playing it, and because of that normies bought it on steam. Fata Morgana doesn't have that.
Brody James
Fata Morgana will go down in history as one of the best and most prestigious visual novels ever created, while Sakura series won't even be remember as anything else than "that pervy game for faux weebs on Steam", if anything. Value isn't always measured in sales.
Nicholas Adams
Go away already MG shill
Adrian Watson
Our guy Conjueror will cry about it on Twitter like with Tokyo Babel.
Cooper Cook
Quality isn't quantifiable, sales numbers are. If enough people like something that something becomes "good" and "quality".
Michael Jones
Maybe the idiots will stop releasing all ages lolige
Cameron Russell
Is this copypasta?
Jordan Phillips
Sakura games will go down in history as one of the most profitable shovelware endeavors undertaken, while Fata Moragna won't be remembered as anything else "that pretentious doujinshi game with shit art", if anything. Profit isn't measured in EGS ratings.
Jackson Foster
The thing people forget about the Sakura games is that no mater whether you think they're ok or they're shit, they were some of the very first VNs on Steam.
They essentially proved that hey! people WILL pay for cantonese adult slide shows! even of they're fake cantonese adult slide shows with no adult content done by weeaboos.
Noah Thomas
Is this copypasta?
Matthew Perez
I love how MangaGamer said they would release the Fata Morgana fandisk this year but then put it so low on priority that it's nowhere to be seen.
Really forces one to ponder...
Michael Mitchell
They know their audience is mature and patient enough to wait for it, and we'll gladly pay for it regardless of how long it takes them.
Jeremiah Smith
What audience?
Jason Richardson
>audience
Logan Jones
>tfw no sensei route
Mason Campbell
>still no english lolige
Carson Torres
Damn, I only got like half of them, I didn't know there were bathroom scenes either. Guess I gotta redownload.
Jace Carter
Demon Master Chris is literally the same shit but slightly better.
Easton Morris
Is I true that most people's first VN is Katawa Shoujo?
What was yours /vn/?
Isaiah Morales
What are you talking about dude, we have literally 2 (two) translated lolige. Marunomi and Sweet Sweat in Summer.
There's also Unteralterbach but I find the designs creepy.
Luis Morris
Kira Kira. It was pretty okay, better than a lot of other shit I've read.
Gavin Diaz
I'm gonna serve you.
Matthew Wilson
Think it was Demonbane or Sharnoth.
Jaxson Clark
It was actually, I was new to Veeky Forums around the time it was released so I decided to check it out. I only finished Emi's route though.
Ryan Garcia
I think it was that one about wrestling lesbians that is in asenheim. It was awful. Then I think I played the Paradise Heights ones and Time Stripper Mako. Then I played True Love. That was the first one I actually liked. Man, I wish asenheim had existed back then.
Nathan Robinson
feels bad desu
Brody Edwards

Landon Nguyen

Justin Jones
I fucking hate it when they make you pick between two girls but there's really only one option and it's the worst girl.
