>XMAS Drawing Event - Last week of December
So how many people will actually be up for this. I'd imagine everyone will be busy with Christmas and actually playing 5D and VI
Should a holidays edition drawfag thing be moved to January instead?
Jayden Moore
Is the uncensored Shizuka cg as good as I hope?
Jonathan Russell
Looking forward to Nagi
Jack Diaz
Was it really that troublesome to upscale it? And what exactly made you love the game?
Jack Ramirez
Her CGs are some of the better ones. I'll be honest, not all uncensored CGs in Rance VI are going to look great, but generally they are much, much better than you'd expect from a game that was originally released in 2004. And for the most part the CGs for the important bits look the best. Monster Commander CG is one of the worse ones, and even that looks better than some Da Capo 3 stuff.
...Interestingly, the uncensored art of 5D looks generally better than what VI has. It's actually great at points. Maybe Orion was hyped about being able to work on mainline Rance game alone?
Nolan Rodriguez
Orion has good taste so he probably spent extra effort on Shizuka
Aiden Rodriguez
Nagi is pretty cute and would be nice if she doesn't end up becoming a complete jackass if she still has her memories.
Lucas Harris
She will model herself on her idol Rance
Jordan Wood
There were lots of technical problems and bugs to overcome. While I was playing through the game earlier today getting screenshots for the blog, I ran into some last-minute graphic-bugs that ended up being fixed. If the game was entirely based on 2D elements, I imagine it wouldn't have been that bad, but there's quite bit going on with the dungeons. At one point the minimap was particularly broken, going all over the screen. Here's an early screenshot, back when we were still planning whether or not to do the upscale and hadn't added any of the higher-resolution art. I'll also post finalized version for comparison.
Anyway, what I liked... The story is great. It starts very small-scale, but steadily grows into very epic adventure. It's also not all success, there's some good downer parts that make the good bits feel all the more better. And even more so than in Sengoku, Rance feels like real idiot at points of VI, there's lots of points where he doesn't make the smart choice. I really liked being able to go NO NO NO NO at some of his shit. The characters in general are fantastic, while there are twists, nobody acts in a way that'd feel off... if that makes sense. Save for the initial Ice Flame recruits, pretty much everybody sticks along through the story, and gets several chances to shine, both in missions that focus on them, and in main-story.
And for the gameplay goes, I'm not really big on dungeon crawlers usually. In eroge particular the playing fields feel very flat, or tend to have lots of obnoxious puzzles like teleportation. Rance VI has really good dungeons, with lots of floors within same area(and not just locked behind load screens like in Bunny Black), overlaying areas, traps that can be avoided if you pay attention and some pretty decent puzzles. The battles aren't anything special, but that's not really a detriment, the format would work in regular oldschool JRPG. I just feel they're not highlight of the gameplay.
Liam Parker
And here's the final version. ...Looking back to original, I really can't believe I played through the game like that.
Xavier Thomas
So what you're saying is, the game with Rizna and Copandon as the main focus, has one of the best uncensored artwork?
Fantastic news, the only way it could be better is if Urza's scenes are also on the great side too.
Ethan Parker
Hers are alright. ...the CGs are, at least. Honestly, I'm not fan of the sex-scenes where Rance is overly mean during sex, but that's just personal preference. Kaoru's, Megadeath's and Kaloria's scenes were more to my liking.
Anyway, for things that ended up looking surprisingly good, the Zeth Beauty Booklet is of particular note. The redone text along with higher resolution art pieces really did these images wonders.
Jacob Bell
> Been bogged down with work and snow storms for the last 3+ weeks. > It just hit me that it's really almost time.
What a wait it has been lads.
My schedule is now clear.
What time of day do downloads go live?
Blake Wood
How is Kamilla's cg?
Juan Murphy
Does anyone have that screencap that Guyzoo made where it's an h-scene talking about exploding magma or something but the background image is a kitten?
Connor Martin
On the better side. La Seizel's are on the worse, which is a shame since she has more CGs.
Hudson Hill
>Preferred type of man >Refined older gentleman Ohoho!
Jose Young
First is good. Sad for the later but still better than her KR ones
Hudson Turner
Well they pay more
Matthew Sullivan
It's not like she loves the body
Jack Lee
Can't wait to pirate it!
Noah Price
...
Wyatt Jackson
Literally why is X just another RPG? The final should be another strategy game. They could even make decent dungeons now with RPG gameplay.
Angel Richardson
A strategy game wouldn't work.
Not enough factions
Jaxon Bennett
It doesn't need to play exactly like the other strategy games. I'm fine if X is like Suikoden but would like some strategy elements too.
Hunter Davis
> just another RPG There's a lot of different flavors of JRPG, actually, and the series has explored quite a few, I wouldn't discount the idea off the cuff so easily.
I am interested in seeing what they do with it, but I suspect it will be in the same vein as Evenicle.
Jaxson Barnes
Depends where you live
Henry Barnes
any discount codes for rance or do i need to pay whole 30 dollarydoos?
Isaiah Bailey
That is the discount price
Hunter Morales
I've got an advance copy of Rance VI and here are some of the new names.
Carmilla Linepenis Daniel and Abe Nonhazardous Cell Kirkgolf Emily Alphone Uruza Planet Koopa O.Dot Armaggedon Mega Jinnah Cave Squirrel Victory (Sieg was censored because Germans can buy the game) Paper Server Princess Leia (Rick now has a light saber)
Jack Carter
Don't forget Sill in water.
Wyatt Wood
The only good Sill
William Gutierrez
I like the Sill that makes your favourite breakfast at 5am.
Chase Campbell
Pic related and Blue Sill are good too.
Nicholas Murphy
Sheila is a better cook
Joseph Jenkins
Maybe, but she can't cook Rance's favourite meal.
David King
How old is Sheila in Rance IX?
Gavin Cooper
MG is up about 600 orders between the 16th and 21st. A sizable portion of that is probably Rance considering the volatility in the weekly charts these past few days, though it's hard to guess exactly what kind of fraction would be for Rance.
Christopher Phillips
Filthy lies!
Samuel Wilson
16
Justin Edwards
...
Brody Clark
So Patton was 16/17 when she was born? That's quite the age gap.
Camden Sullivan
Yeah. Different mothers though.
I think Pamela was the second wife of the Emperor anyway.
Tyler Morales
>Kou and Mustache are the same age huh
Carter Gutierrez
The new portraits look amazingly better
Caleb Butler
>Rocky is only 16
Huh.
Mason Stewart
I chuckled
Jayden Wright
You should add the dark lords to this list, give em approximate ages based on when they turned.
Angel Cox
List would be to big given at least two are over 4000
Nolan Stewart
Three, Meglass, Kamilla and Kayblis.
Michael Garcia
>Ai is only a teenager >Maris is younger than Rick >Natori is only 30 >Choushin is all of 26 >Pulptenks is 21 >Rance's maid whose name I can't remember is younger than Rance is >Bird is older than Rance >Katsuie is almost ten years older than Rance >Minerva was probably already in puberty when Rance was still a fetus >Kou and Mill are the same age as Kazemaru >Suzume was only 19 >iron hymen is the same age as Kapalla, the Rance 1 shop girl, and Megadeth >Lia is the same age as Sill, who are both the same age as Pulptenks, who are both the same age as Chizuko, Nagi, and Senhime?? >Gandhi is almost 50 yet shredded as fuck and has more stamina than Rance damn, this is weird
Cameron Anderson
Why is Maris being younger than Rick weird?
Oliver Hill
>Pulptenks is 21 Got to remember that Pulptenks was 16 in Rance 01.
>iron hymen is the same age as Kapalla, the Rance 1 shop girl, and Megadeth Again Amitos only appears as an 18 year old while Patty is 13 in Rance 01
Gabriel Richardson
I always saw her like an onee-san type character and the "older" one in that not-relationship. Especially because Rick is the one pining for her if I remember right.
Evan King
>Again Amitos only appears as an 18 year old while Patty is 13 in Rance 01 Ah yeah this is a good point, I didn't think of that.
Also I just realized why Kou looks so much younger than Kazemaru: The artstyle deliberately made Kaz look older. Kou did still look younger in SR but the art on that chart is from Rance Quest which made her a complete moeblob in terms of art, so that exacerbates the perceived age difference. Same goes for Mill.
Anthony Flores
Probably because Rick is a sword fighting savant
Eli Wood
>Pulptenks is 21 By Rance IX, in the games where she appeared she was 16-17.
Cameron Rodriguez
Rance IV stream continues in an hour on hitbox channel Kayblis.
Isaiah Collins
So has Rance gotten 4 figures yet?
William Robinson
Continuing a proud tradition
Christopher Foster
Starting now.
Keep the thread alive
Connor Bailey
So Kou is only one year younger than Tilde? Then she's getting scenes for sure.
Xavier Powell
Rance fucked Mill too and she's the same age as Kou, though I guess that what really matters to Rance is the appearance not the real age.
Camden Moore
Hard to say, but I think it's extremely likely.
There have been 2147 orders in all from the beginning of the preorder period to the latest order number. If 50% of those are for Rance (which is very likely since it has stayed on top for so long), it's above 4 digits. A more concervative estimate would be 30%, which would still mean 814 copies, but I don't think that's too likely since it probably sold at least 400 in the first 72 hours.
Justin Diaz
The release day will almost definitely push it above the three figures mark.
From there, it just has to be seen if it has a long shelf life like Haruka.
Mason Campbell
...
Christian Morgan
> we’re working to remaster Rance VI with original assets straight from Alicesoft.
So we are getting a shitty version now?
Ryder Martinez
And then, there is this guy !
Jackson Peterson
Is the MG fag still around?
Has anyone said anything about getting rance 6 to 10 if 5-6 sell enough?
I wou ld preorder it right now if its the case
Hudson Lopez
The case with MangaGamer has always been "if something sells well, similar things will be released". They wouldn't have picked up Maggot Baits if Euphoria didn't do well, so I'd imagine same will apply to Rance.
Thomas Rodriguez
There's no guarantee of anything but the more 5D/VI sells the higher the possibility of getting the following games yes.
Anthony Young
Well then I will buy randce and keep pirating everything else
Hudson Carter
As long as you buy Rance...
Luis Ward
But euphoria was a pretty shitty game
David Walker
Give me games that are actual games like sengoku and I will buy them like I bought the SRPG JAST ones, release eushully games and I will preorder them even if they are 50€
I just can't pay for porn, its not a matter of money
Christian King
>Maggot Baits Is just a VN or it have actual gameplay?
MG is a miracle of the universe but they should fucking have a "actual fucking game" section and a "plain VN" section and then difference by genre
Gavin Walker
Tillday was born in Gi 1006. Mill in GI1007. Kou in GI1008.
Daniel Baker
Maria go to sleep
Evan Williams
As other Clockup stuff, it's just a VN.
If they pick up more gameplay stuff, I imagine they'll seperate those, but right now gameplay is like less than 10% of the whole liblary.
Benjamin Miller
There will be an other section on the survey when that comes along in a few weeks. Type it in there; I will if I remember.
Said survey also lets you request three titles, so it's very important regardless.
I'm going for Daiakuji, Galzoo Island, and Rance.
Nathan Foster
>Daiakuji Good luck.
Aiden Clark
I haven't played Daiakuji, but when I played Daibanchou I felt bogged down by the age of it. Would they really pick up a title that dated? Probably voting for the last two choices, and Evenicle
Henry Hughes
>Carmilla Well I mean, that's who she's clearly based on.
Jayden Powell
Rizna really shouldn't count as 50, she's been 18 for 32 years.
She's achieved what Kikuko Inoue only dreamed of
John Nelson
Isn't Pastel like 80 years old?
Joshua James
Daiakuji is pretty safe to assume not gonna happen short of a higher up on MG specifically requesting it even knowing it'll bomb.
Evan Miller
>Ai is younger than Kenshin Never would've guessed
Luis Wright
The 90s Rance OVA wasn't great, but man it gave us some amazing screencaps.
Anthony Ward
>Gandhi is almost 50 yet shredded as fuck He has a 17 year old daughter, it kinda makes sense for him to be around that age.
Parker Butler
They are going all out with this release
Camden Mitchell
Completed chapter 5.
Upsilon has awaken.
Will complete the game in tomorrows stream starting at the same time.
Grayson Reed
Yeah and you notice the ages don't go that far
Chase Cox
Just beat this fucker and didn't get kikkawa scene. Anybody knows what the fuck?
Jayden Hall
Did you have her before beating him?
Charles King
You have to catch Kikkawa and talk to her before beating Mouri.
Landon Carter
I don't really understand which levelup skills are good in SR.
Isaac Bailey
Since they aren't going to upscale future Rance games, it's probably a lost cause, yeah.
I think Evenicle is a shoe-in by default, so I'm going for Rance, Galzoo, and Blade Briders (because /m/)
Easton Murphy
>I don't really understand which levelup skills are good in SR. It depends on the unit's type.
