Let's work on Meikyuu, first. Or rather, SP. Get to work you lazy fucks
Andrew Hall
That's what you think, but when you actually start seriously thinking about it, it's suddenly mount fucking everest. Think of writing a book, sure, you have this grand idea, amazing, bet it would sell a trillion copies. Then, you get into the details and that's where most people stay/leave. Remember the story? It needs characters, personal motivations, quirks, looks, ACTUAL DIALOGUE, background and up to simple things like names. Then you get world building, it's fine if you take things from real life, but then you still need to actually research them. Now story is the interesting part, it's nice and easy in your head, you try to think of the way to convey it, but then you hit a brick wall when you realize what is in your head is nowhere near as well spaced as it should be, so you try to space it, make a plan, fit all the little things, characters and story together, think of twists and stuff to keep reader interested and attain good coherent story. In addition you have to watch your writing, avoid any and all Idiosyncrasies that are unrelated to story, keep the flow at all times, avoid using the same terminology or repeating phrases. Unless you want to make a fucking moege, then it's an autopilot
tl;dr You can think of a better story, but you sure as hell ain't gonna make one
John Rodriguez
Hi newbie, eroge isn't a erotic game but a VN with h-scenes.
Matthew Allen
Couldn't you have used an image without a big-ass watermark?
Evan Turner
>He thinks Nasu wants his VNs to be in the west
Nathaniel Cooper
>the great writer is busy with a fucking mobage kek
Jonathan Cook
I think Nasu just got lucky
Landon Diaz
>tfw said mobage has better plot than any of the shit usually posted here
Samuel Richardson
what's a mobage
Thomas Edwards
mobile garbage
Brayden Harris
Mobairu Geemu.
Nathaniel Hill
>He thinks Type-Moon is rich AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.
Is he fucking retarded? Type-Moon is literally employed by ANIPLEX for Fate multimedia projects(anime, the mobage), they are literally employed to work on their own IP because they don't have the rights for it.
The only thing TM owns is visual novels, the rest is all corporate stuff. Sure Nasu is making some decent enough money but he's far from rich, Japanese business doesn't work like that, at best he's getting 5% because of royalties and then whatever Aniplex pays him whey they hire him
Type Moon is not rich, they're doing better than a lot of VN devs but they're still not rich.
I bet he's one of the retards that spout about FGO making 1 million dollars every day
Liam Morales
>1 million dollars every day It makes 2 million a day.
Adam Thomas
I hope DI kikestarter fails :)
Nicholas Barnes

Nathaniel Green

Dylan Wilson
Can i pay with Amazon on Kickstarter like it used to be?
Nolan Baker
Didn't know that was a thing ever.
Zachary Lopez
thanks for fixing the OP >Stop abusing of the trips like a random autistic kid from Reddit. is not necessary however as it will further encourage tripfaggotry
Brody White
Well i don't plan on getting a Credit card so if they have no other options than paying with a CC Kickstarter can go fuck themselves
Colton Stewart

William Cook

Gavin Miller
She can't be sad, she has a cat. You can't be sad if you have a cat.
Jose Ramirez

Logan Taylor
Oh wow
Chase Myers

Eli Jenkins
Poor guy will be slaughtered by buttmad backers. If they got him all the questions would be why is the KS run so badly.
Thomas Long
I'm shaking!
Josiah Roberts
Wtf are you smoking?
Dominic Adams
I'll see you all there my fellow redditors
Eli Roberts
eroge is literally erotic games. ero-ge. Blame the japanese for not being able to spell game.
he's saying that "eroge" is short for erotic games and that the OP image saying "eroge games" is redundant
Lucas Fisher
Only cringy neckbeards have anything against reddit
Mason Hill
>eroge is literally erotic games No, it isn't. Or would you call the PC version of Kanon "erotic game"?
Liam Ortiz
Literally pleddit game.
dropped pledge
Dylan Young
vns aren't necessarily eroge. shit like Rance is. You're just being retarded at this point.
Gabriel Gonzalez
you could just call them visual novels but the genre listed for Kanon on wikipedia is eroge and the link provided says that eroge is a portmanteau of erotic game what else is there to quarrel about
Brody Moore
Because eroge is a VN "with" erotic content but not an "erotic game". Is like saying that Saya no Uta is a romantic game because has a few scenes with romance. That desn't make any fucking sense.
Justin Phillips
it's a game with erotic content (and a fairly huge emphasis is put on that factor) and it's thus an erotic game this is far from being difficult to grasp
Jordan Mitchell
you would wanna kill your self if you find out how much money they are making everyday by with even the most shittiest phone game.
Colton Jackson
This is so stupid like discussing it the glass is half empty or half full.
Andrew Diaz
plus in all likelihood the name "eroge" is just there both for ease of expression and so people can classify visual novels accordingly, depending on whether they have sexually explicit content or not
Wyatt Perez
It's obviously half full
Caleb Bell
I like upskirts.
Nolan Murphy
Oh fuck I'm excited, his art is absolutely gorgeous.
Kevin Wilson
2 DAYS LEFT AND WE HAVENT EVEN BROKEN PAST THE 150K MARK

Ass or tits?
Owen Rogers

William Fisher
Explain Takeuchi's Ferrari.
Kevin Martin
I hope Akabei Soft does more guro games, desu, their last one was pretty hot.
Owen Myers
Yearly revenue for FGO came out and it was around 3 billion yen.
Aniplex(SONY) takes 90% of that and the music revenue.
TM and DW take the rest
Isaac Johnson
>3 billion yen
Kek, fucking Toriko made more money than that.
Jaxson Martinez
I thought so too.
Evan Moore
...
Jace Myers
I asked some time ago but no one answered.
Which of the Air translations is better?
Christopher Diaz
The non-sheeta one
Brandon Hill
None, read it in moon.
Thomas Garcia
How complicated is it? I could handle a very simple moege, but Key's VNs are more difficult.
Camden Hernandez
Around N3-4 level.
Kayden Jenkins
Air is garbage, don't bother with it.
Juan Allen
This, just watch the anime and be done with it like all Key works except Little Busters.
Lincoln Bailey
I hope people bring this up to him.
Chase Miller
I don't want to get banned from reddit....

Colton Baker
Through determination, the dream became true. Learn Japanese and you too can have a happy ending.
Nathan Jones
Too hard...
Lucas Adams
I'm lazy.
Carson Kelly
In comparison to a flat chest they are.
Liam Robinson
Her boobs look big to me though.
Evan Ward
I have a job user.
Camden Gray

Tyler Wright
That he wanted to place some joke to increase sellings of this shitty VN.
Luis Brooks
Are you participating in Conju new twitter tournament?
Camden Harris
Real talk bros, is Dies Irae going to make it??
Charles Lee
Probably, will depend alot on how well the Thunderclap campaign does.
Ryan Johnson
Hopefully not. t.Translator.
Tyler Reed
It better, I'm ending it if it doesn't
Wyatt Morris
The final rush of kickstarters usually get around the same as the opening rush. So yeah, it'll make it.
Ryder Cruz
of course goddammit and there's nothing the usual retards can do about it
James Price
We failed to stop it, nekobros.
Evan Peterson
Just 10k left guys, we can do it!
Austin Moore
It'll limp across the finish line. I'm calling 180 to be the final.
Julian Diaz
Thats a stupid criticism for a game whose art is inspired by old Japanese paintings.
