Quest will get delayed by virtue of spacing out Evenicle and Sengoku right?

Lia is the rightful ruler of the world.
Helman is a barren wasteland like Shiela's body.

I am looking forward to this.

I would Say the difference in time between the translations would be enough of a buffer.

Yet they are already delaying Evenicle. Actions speak louder than marketing words.

Hopefully so. The one thing MG does well is not rushing to give release dates, and end up delaying them multiple times like Sekai Project (but that's not really a discussion that would be too productive)
Yes. MG likely won't say that, but that is the logical conclusion to reach. Especially since there are other titles that will be worked on before Sengoku.
I really want to look forward to it, but me being too dumb to learn Japanese, combined with it being almost guaranteed to not get a translation in the next few years is really depressing my hype for it. I mean machine translating is an option, but it wouldn't be enjoyable.

Hornet is nothing like Kenshin. At all.

Man, I REALLY like the art design for DonnaDonna (Is that even the right name? The English at the bottom says Dohna. DohnaDohna?).

I wonder why they are delaying Evenicle. Is this actually some sort of inscrutable marketing strategy, or are there actually technical problems with hacking/modifying the game? If anything, I would imagine that they would want to release Evenicle as soon as possible since it has been a while since Rance 5D/VI, and that way they get to have as much time as possible before Sengoku releases.

They are delaying Evenicle because Alicesoft isn't the only company they deal with and they are releasing other shit instead.

Oh... that makes a lot of sense. Now I feel like a dumbass.

Is there a penalty for letting a commander get "killed" in a dungeon in SR? Other than not getting to use him for the rest of the dungeon and turn, of course.

I don't think so

And Rance's hyper weapon is the fertilizer that can cure the Baren soil of Hellman, just like it can cure Green Aids.

can it make new dragons?

Asking for too much there

Any dick juice can revive Helman, in other words.

Man, Noce fucking sucks to fight, but his theme in his final form is pretty good.

Implying any dick juice can cure Green Aids

I'll be really disappointed if Hornet is just around to get fucked by Kayblis and then have no other meaningful interactions with Rance other than a token h-scene

Sheila got so much special treatment so if Hornet is just KR plot 2.0 I'll feel like I wasted my time caring about her up until now

...

We don't even know anything about what her role in X will be like yet.

Isn't it less of delaying Evenicle and more of beta-testing is a bitch? Even if it has it's own programmer to do that portion, the bottleneck is the beta-testing which, for a title like Evenicle, is way worse than the usual VN stuff.

Also, ImoPara's been in the pipeline way longer too, it deserves its time. Also, I want ImoPara3.

Just wait for Quest to enter testing. You will know the true meaning of QA hell then.

I was just responding to the speculation from last thread

Please be in X

We don't really know how the Monster Army appeared in the Human Territories and attacked everywhere at once yet, do we? Whether Kayblis chucked them off the Continent or Pi-R invented stealth fighters.

If they want to put Hornet into early if not mid-game, they could do something like after her defeat, they placed her into some kind of thing that allowed them to teleport into the centre of the human territories and it's guarded by Stroganoff.

The reason that Silky and La Hawzel joined up in the invasion could be to protect Hornet inside that thing

I think she is. She really grew on me in 03 with her voice and adorableness.
Top tier daughteru

Quest is neatly arranged into so called "quests" which will help with QA a lot. They just need to cheat the grinding.

If you make a country a vassal in SR, can you annex it "for real" later or are you stuck with it as a vassal?

the latter.

Generally your stuck with it. There are possible exceptions like Tokugawa will declare war on you even as a vassal if you go to war with Takeda or if you wait for an event triggered by the Demon Army.

Generally speaking vassalizing is good for short term benefit and for speed runs. Otherwise you get more out of conquering.

There is a shitload of dynamic content in Quest.

...

The natives and 11s had it coming.

>There is a shitload of dynamic content in Quest.

Especially like mid-quest scenes that only occur if you have specific party members when moving from one area to another, or bringing only specific party members from the start-to-end of the quest. Quite a few characters have more than 3 of these kind of scenes as well (like Aegis, Crane, or Shizuka for instance).

Definitely not something that can be done quickly even if they take out the grinding.

...

t. Crook the liar.

Post ALL Rance-related tegaki you have.

no

Seriously, where did she pull that from? It's one of the most arbitrary retcons in the whole series.

>twintails
Why

>No Hitler
What the hell.

Hitler's already in the game.
HIEL MM RUNE
YES

Why can't the answer be "They just overran everything"

Because they can't "overrun" the line

>Artstyle is stylish as hell

Donna Donna will be better than X.

You forgot

How much do we know about it?

is black Kanami a hooker?

Art-bait nukige, its all you need to know

Not much other than the basic premise (various gangs compete against each other to cause chaos to oppose the restrictive government), some character designs/vague character descriptions and that it's being handled by the same team that did 01 and 03.

Wasn't a screenshot already released of a party screen showing the protag, one of the girls and some guy who looks like Ashikaga Shit? That makes it seem like there'll be gameplay.

Ixseal has gameplay too. Doesn't make it any less of a nukige

If it's full price length game, it will likely be very fun and around some of the most fun Alicesoft games. But Rance X looks like will easily be my favorite Alicesoft game ever. Just for it's size, resources and scale it already had a chance to do so, but being part and the conclusion of the Rance series just increase it's chances even more as it's building up on a lot from many other games.

It'll be the darkhorse victor when X ends up being an enormous bomb.

>it will likely be very fun and around some of the most fun Alicesoft games
Its already confirmed to have shit gameplay.

What exactly makes a character look like a chuuni?

You heard me, post them now.

Red eyes with dark circles around them and a scarf mysteriously covering his mouth to make him look like a tryhard.

Either that or he's really sick.

And those gang members are bad children which conduct bad actions like ヒトカリ (human hunting?) and ハルウリ (prostitution?).

And here all posts by Gyokai on twitter about this so far:
twitter.com/i/moments/873905615797604352

Also Donna Donna is a temporary name but the director said they will likely use it the end.

Hey, he also made the genius that is Hare Urare.

But yeah, he's the new blood of Alicesoft. Not sure why someone said that HIRO was a new recruit who created Haruka when he's pretty old. Isn't he the CEO after TADA stepped down?

How is Donna Donna confirmed to have shit gameplay?

This is all we've seen of gameplay so far, and it basically says nothing.

HIRO's been around for forever. He was the director of the first Pastel Chime game (and the other two).

I know that hence why I was so confused with someone saying that the new bloods of Alicesoft made Haruka.

Maybe some newfag meme-ing about Haruka again.

Oh another thing. It's probably not coming out anytime soon. For instance, they have yet to draw any of the ero scenes. It may come after RPG3 at least. And with the usual Alicesoft wait of at least three months between games, at least between full price ones, chances are we will be seeing that late 2018 or 2019.

We've seen way more of it than we have of RPG3, though. That at least makes it seems like it's farther ahead in development.

Donna Donna will probably be late 2018.

>Slutty prostitute Sill is a villain
She's one of the hottest girls I've ever seen Gyoukai do.

Too bad she'll probably only get a single gangbang rape scene.

RPG3 seems to have gameplay advanced, and apparently already has lots of CGs done but yet to be colored because Ixseal and Rance 10 were hogging their CG artists. We see colored character art for Donna Donna because Gyoaki colors his own key art.

Is clown guy just a goon or is he an actual character?

She is a member of a different gang. So while an adversary at first like Kikuchiyo, I think she is probably not a villain. The villains may be the government / society?

is Kikuchiyo into enkou JK?

Unclear. Probably just a goon.

She definitely has a distinct "NPC" vibe in her design, though. Whereas Kikuchiyo will obviously become playable just from her design alone. Plus the leader of slutty lady's gang has his face obscured in the image released of it, so he'll probably be the big bad/one of the big bads.

Looks too colorful for an eroge. I can't picture an H scene with that saturated of a palate.

They said each clan conduct their own bad deeds to disturb the orderly society, so maybe her clan doesn't do prostitution like yours? Probably not you can't fix. I wonder if kiKikuchiyo is a reference or mean something in particular. As all other characters with name revealed so far are silly. Kirakira, Antenna, Porn.

I wonder if

that 3D background though

Not gonna lie, the whole masks and beating random people up and complete degenerate delinquency really reminds me of A Clockwork Orange. Hopefully we get to give purple Sill a little of the ol' in-out-in-out.

Pretty much as colorful as 01 and 03 just with an added style like hair having a mix of colors or at least a mix of tones on it.

Would make sense if Clan C is a Yakuza-styled "human-hunting" organization while Clan B (where Porn is maybe from) focuses mostly on prostitution. And Clan A dabbles in both.

Not really ugly. It works well, I didn't notice.
Well maybe after a few hours it starts to be an eyesore though.

From the sound of what the game is about, I think he's just supposed to look like a misanthrope who doesn't give a shit about anything.

Hype as fuck for Donna Donna.

Considering Gyoukai's involved, wouldn't be surprised if he went around punching girls in the stomach. Especially long-haired straight-bangs girls.

There is not enough info out for me to be hyped, but its a game I'm looking forward too. Overall their current projects are looking good. I may even try the new tsuma one when it's out.

...

This is the most excited I've been for a wave of Alicesoft games in a long time. They all seem promising.

Antenna-chan best girl. She had a fanart even before we knew her name.

>DonnaDonna (Is that even the right name? The English at the bottom says Dohna. DohnaDohna?).

Wait... why are we even calling it Donna Donna? That would have been ドンナドンナ。But it's ドーナドーナ which is more like Doona or Dohna as you said (and from the image it seems like they're going with Dohna).

Someone please correct the name in the next op.

I can already tell that shades guy will be the best boy.

The logo also has dohna dohna written twice but with the H in the middle shared between the two. I wonder if it's a pun. ドーナ -> Dohna -> ドHな

Antenna > Porn > Slut Plain > Kikuchiyo > Kirakira > other girl

Considering his current competition consists of the protagonist himself and some juggalo who may or may not be a generic, that's not hard.

You mean Punk Rance?

Too tall.

Retard.

Who is the one on the bottom left?

Some american who bombarded Japan.

Some conquistador who was notorious for stealing gold in South America.

My bad, bottom left is a conquistador
