The fifth session of the Rance RP just concluded! Things got pretty hectic this time.

...

Annis is such an Annis

...

Finally done with Rance 4

Fuck those stone monster were tough

>stone guardians
every fucking Rance game

Who was your best unit?

Are they fighting for the shower head or something?

They were a joke in Rance 02.

I appreciate this thanks user

What's this Rance RP and how do I get in on it.

just go on irc during a session and make a character

Which IRC?

#strategytime

Not like they could do it. TakaJun is missing, and taking somebody's free work and releasing it commercially without their consent is illegal.

they could just redo it from scratch which Aru said he would like to do at some point

Well yeah, that much is sensible. I just meant that they can't re-release the Yandere patch with some edits.

I pump the extra weapon damage on kanami, she dodges like everything.

You will be happy to know that her Evasion-tanking can continue in VI.

too competent

...Is Julia being trained by Hanny King canon? I don't think she has appeared in current timeline after IV.

Rance IV is one of my favourites.

nah, since its optional i believe.

off to sleep. Stay alive

It's confirmed in RWN so it's canon.

>Did you grab em by the pussy?

You're that guy I was giving tips to yesterday? Congrats on the finish!

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I'm a little upset that my random choice of troop number for a second data set happened to land nearly exactly in the right place so as to have come right up to toe the line where it would have started making an effect, but didn't cross over and actually do so. I've saved your information in my spreadsheet so I won't lose it again and have to go traipsing around the internet wondering where I saw it for several unproductive hours.

I went to graduate school for physics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Am I the only one who had never noticed Rocky on this pic?

We doing a collage?

I don't remember them and I played kaikai just two months ago

I also never noticed that before.

In the blue room just before the final boss

Why Kaba?

>Can
I have a feeling that there's a catch. Considering the fact she's in a country of mages, she's going to be nerfed considerably.

...

Everyone else should be taking damage from his scream since it goes right through defense.

Also off and the thread is getting to 10 every twenty minutes.

RIP

What would Rance think of eating Shark?

Haha oh wow.

Couple new entries in the MG top 5, but Rance remains in the top slot where there is a good chance it will remain until at least the end of the year.

An early 1000 sounds likely.

If it's tasty then it's good.

How did Haruka do?

It takes 1000 sales to get a physical release and Haruka got a physical release. If eroge companies really only sell 30K copies, even 1000 extra copies where they only get 15-20% royalties isn't anything to sneeze at.

Rance will likely be 1000ish at launch. Through the 9th it was probably 500-600 sales, and then through the 16th it probably pushed at least another 200-250 sales, as a rough estimate between sales chart performance and order numbers. From the 16th it will have another week worth of sales before launch.

That said, the question remains how it does at and after launch, especially as word of mouth begins to pick up. Ideally it will remain in first or second to a new release on the sales chart for most of January.

Haruka was released as they got their new payment processor, so its pre-launch data isn't going to be comparable. Haruka sold very well at launch though, but more importantly it had a number of weeks in the top slot on the chart near launch, and was included in the MG charts for the rest of the Spring and most of the Summer.

What was Haruka's child's name?

What animal is that?

How large are those sales in the US?
Because I remember that even flops in Japan sometimes garners 10k.

Obviously what MG pulls in isn't going to be comparable to a new Alicesoft release in Japan, and Haruka's sales to date seem to be a several thousand (and Rance should either match or exceed that, being Rance). Although in the end any money made here is extra revenue stream they wouldn't have gotten otherwise, and Alicesoft commented that the Western sales of Haruka were quite good.

haniho

I see. That's pretty good, let's hope Rance will do much more.

>We'll be playing Rance VI in 100 hours

>They were a joke in Rance 02.
Depends how much you grinded, if you were at the point of getting the Willis scene, they were trivial.

Well we will be able to, but we will be playing 5D instead.

5D first.

>Can't tell if Pi-R, the Sengoku points runner user, or one of the Sengoku hacker anons.
>I went to graduate school for physics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
I sware, there's some sort of correlation between doing STEM and loving SR. Don't we even have a maths PhD here? I remember we had a guy doing his thesis on numerical approximations to solutions of DEs.

I'm literally shaking. What if Rance VI is not as good as we hyped?

What proxy do you use to see ASoft's page

They never became trivial in Rance III.

user. Most of us speak Jap. We already know exactly how good VI is.

...

We should distribute questionnaires to students of the most prestigious universities and ask how many of them are also part of secret rape clubs

SJWs would horribly skew those results.

I'm not any of those, but I'm also doing STEM so you might be onto something.

I imagine Rance will do better with a far broader known and appealing game, although there is a bit of an open question of how many MG nukige customers will grab Rance compared to Haruka.

Well if people keep insisting that Rance is just a rape nukige some people might buy it believing it is.

Some people probably don't know how depraved nukige can be. Sure Rance has a lot of sex, but there's other content in there.

Maybe they'll buy it even if they don't know Alicesoft because it's by the same maker as Haruka.

That said, I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't know. Most places with discussion of nukige (ulmf, hongfire) also talk about H-games, and Rance is pretty famous in that community.

are those spurs on his boots?

I'm guessing most people that buy eroge don't post about it online.

>5'10" too large for a coffin
Was that coffin meant for Poppins?

I'm looking forward to seeing the calculator cube dungeon.

Does Rance have Sill stuff herself before they have sex in Rance VI?

So Rance already has Chaos in VI. When does he get him?

He doesn't start with Chaos.

The question is how many people brought Haruka for the porn vs purely the gameplay.

Rance should do better regardless, as it will enjoy far stronger support from those looking for an H-title with gameplay, not to mention that Rance is a well known franchise and a shit ton of people have played Sengoku. Just one part of MG's regular customer base, those who buy eroge solely for the porn, might not be quite as enthusiastic about it.

He gets Chaos later in the story

I wonder what's the name of Rance's shit not-Chaos sword. He seems to wield it quite frequently. Though on the other hand, I'm not sure if it's the same sword every time or a different one.

He gets a new one for each new adventure

Is that part of his contract with Keith?

I'm pretty sure they all have names if you bother to look them up in the equipment screen.

Names other than iron sword or long sword?

>other than

I don't think so.

>Haruka
>gameplay

user, I hate to break it to you but the gameplay certainly wasn't anything to write home about.

>I remember we had a guy doing his thesis on numerical approximations to solutions of DEs.
Wow, really? I'm actually trying to prove the existence of solutions on boundary blow up PDEs.

...

Have you accepted Arunaru as your lord and savior?

Kill yourself Arunaru

Don't die.

did /v/ take a nosedive, cause holy shit. Sengoku discussion popups and it gets awfully neogaf tier shit now

I thought it had hit rock bottom half a decade ago already.

/v/ is what's left after all the discussion on a board evaporates into a better one. Been a cesspit since 2012.

>pepe su ragarl

Oh please, that's as silly as calling a demon a fiend, and only 4kids would do something like that

Whats the pepe su ragarl?

He is nagi's brother.

/v/ Shitposting.

Pretty sure that is shitposter.
