It'd be great to know if Mangagamer has approached FAVORITE to get a license for Irotoridori no Sekai. Irotoridori no Hikari, the fan disc, got in 2012 the award for best pure love story. Given that Hoshimeno had a pretty good reception by the community, I think that Irotoridori no Sekai and its fandisc would do pretty well. I'm pretty sure that those titles are way better than Da Capo 3.

If Mangagamer succeeded to obtain the licenses, they could try to acquire the translation already done (?) by Tokidan and actually release something. The fan-translation project seems more dead than anything else. The translator could at least admit that he's not working on it anymore.

Comyu's a really pretty mediocre game that's five times longer than it needs to be because it's so bloated with purple prose. And it's being translated by someone who doesn't understand metaphor, so I can only imagine how that's going to turn out. Mahoutsukai is also not much longer than half a moege and there's really not much of a story even there. Neither are going to cause much of a splash.

Most of the big name things that have a good chance of coming out in 2014 are the official stuff that's fully translated. Even Jast can't sit on all their games forever. Steins;Gate, Cartagra, Sumaga, Seinarukana, and Romanesque are all notable and are mostly done. FHA also has a good chance of being released this year just because what else are they going to do once it hits 100% for the fourth time?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11801868
Mahoutsukai, being a type-moon VN, will definitely make a splash.

I could see Sumaga and Romanesque being pretty big, but it'll take a long time before they go anywhere. Cartagra won't do shit, everyone's already read Steins;Gate.

Well, that's just what happens when your 10-point scale ratings are combined with other people's 10-point scale ratings. '5/10 I enjoyed it' makes no sense when '5' is considered strongly in the 'do not play' range. Also, a bias to higher scores is inevitable as you generally avoid bad games. (I myself generally don't rate games until I've finished them or otherwise am convinced I've properly seen what the game has to offer, so most of the things I drop, I don't vote for.)

>>11803098
I think he once removed all titles he read using translations from his list or something. It fits with his 'translations are not representative of the original' stance, anyhow.

This guy is right, averaging at 5 is both unreal and stupid. Why would you go out of your way to play a kusoge for every kamige?

Completely disagree.

There's a lot in Forest worth reading outside of characters speaking over each other. I am really glad it got translated and that I got to read it.

I understand that there are things that cannot survive translation and other things that cannot have the same impact due to presentation limitations, but really, there was so much in Forest outside of that text.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11805351

It's a typo for "In testing", but mangagamer's status updates are 50% bullshit(only the translation part is really accurate).

For example, Chou Dengeki Stryker has been "In scripting" for years. In reality, what happened is that it was pre-doddler, so the translation is all done and they're waiting... and waiting... for overdrive to insert them.

But at the same time, D2B vs Deardrops is also "In scripting". In reality, doddler's still finishing up that new unity engine he's making and then he'll insert it into that.

Softserve Shit games are all kirikiri which is open source and has plenty of tools just laying about the internet, therefore insertion is easy. Therefore Boob Wars is either;

A: Being proof-read/edited
B: Doddler's slammed the scripts in and handed them out to be checked to see how he broke it(he always fucks something up in the softhouse seal games)

But, in all seriousness, please don't knock him. It's unfortunate that his translation is not top tier, but there's no need to laugh or insult him because of that. I'm sure there are people who appreciate his work and dedication despite its flaws. For me, personally, having a flawed translation is infinitely better than having no translation at all. Besides, he'll certainly get better at it over time.

They don't. I mean, not particularly. It's just that most people are terrible writers, and there's no editors or the like stopping the out-pour of shit posted online.

I think there are good LNs, when I made my original post I was thinking of early adapters of the genre (Kino no Tabi, Boogiepop), things that created the formulas for new works (Shakugan no Shana, Haruhi Suzumiya, things by Ryougo Narita) and hipster books (Jinrui wa Suitai-shimashita, Ame no Hi no Iris)

My stance is that most niche entertainment (LNs, VNs, comic books, "genre" fiction, late night anime) becomes formulaic after particularly successful endeavors in the mediumn/genre, only to be shaken up by other successful works that change the formula for later rehashes.

And by the way, the quality is completely independent on whether or not they're formulaic, trendsetters, or even successful.
