< report >Before celebrating, like that VN is in my low priority wishlist, one major question: is this a VN with fake strong girls? you know, following the tsundere scheme while not being necessarily of that kind but more like impersonating strong figures before every one of them fall in front of the protag's dick and become all deredere. Can I expect strong figures all the way like the original rounins they are supposed to impersonate for at least 50% of them?

M-May I ask if there is... let's say... k-kind of fff... of f-femdom in it, even light? Or is just a tasteless moege with rounin flavor?

Ileca, it's a pretty highly acclaimed VN.Last modified on 2016-03-10 at 20:37

< report >$210,000 for an all-age novel with no physical editions and only crappy rewards that nobody really cares for?
This will utterly fail.

< report >I'm apparently expected to paya $100 shipping fee? And I have to pay $60 just to have voices? Fuck this shit.

Which doesn't mean anything. I didn't like it. This kind of story flow concept is the worst.

< report >That is disturbing too:
Also, in order to promote Otome games we will utilize our social media outlets like OtomateWorld (facebook page) which has over 30,000 registered fans.
ChiSinGura Otome????? WTF?????

< report >@Jazz: That doesn't mean anything to me. It's not like people love their waifuu to be submissive and do the cooking between two battles. I was asking because the look of this one make me feel it won't fall in this trap I called "fake strong girl". (Of course, I am not requesting a femdom nukige if that what you meant but if it is possible that the h-scenes tend to that side, or at least, to a side where it's not lovey-dovey boring sex with submissive girls.)
Btw, I would want to know the same thing for VN written by Takahiro like Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai! or Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road.Last modified on 2016-03-10 at 20:47

< report >What's confusing is that the main text of the campaign only mentions making the game for a "mobile playform", but then mentions steam keys in the rewards. No, wait they do mention steam just under the graphic at the top of the page. In general the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

It might be a great game but they don't do themselves any favors by admitting it didn't sell particularly well at first.

< report >No physical copies, no uncut version, and it seems like they aim to only release it at Steam. Yeah, I'm also hoping that it fails.

Btw, here is a good review of the vn:

< report >Yeah I hope it fails also. And I would actually back this if it was some sort of reason to.

< report >I hope it fails and becomes an example for other companies, so that they won't try to release Steam-only censored crap ever again. >_>

< report >This would have been a more interesting translation, but seeing as it is the fandisk I guess that would be putting the cart before the horse. It's also only 18+ with more emphasis on the h-scenes from the looks of it. So I doubt they would offer it even as a stretch goal or separate campaign when they're not clear about an 18+ patch for the original game.

@14 There's only one other series listed here besides this one so I dunno if we'd be missing much if they did decide against pursuing more english translations?

< report >Is it because I am not well informed or the KS just appeared out of nowhere?

Edit:

Also this KS makes the Root Double one look well done.Last modified on 2016-03-10 at 21:14

< report >Just had a look at their website.
Is this all some pre-released April's Fool?
Our Mission:
We aim to be a bridge to introduce "Japanese contents", people and services to the world

Sounds like some asia shop at the corner selling udon nooddles.

< report >@20 Oh, so the engrish hidden in the KS extends to the official page. Or perhaps they're into human trafficking? Shipping containers marked with "Japanese contents" filled with Japanese people? I can only imagine what services they mean.

Quite troubling either way you take it.

< report >@23 lol, I find that simultaneously funny from the perspective of soylent green and disturbing because the first thought that came to mind was they won't sell in Japan because they're 3D women. /sigh.. Otaku culture.
