The anti-government guerrillas were fighting agaist the government in the country which was politically unrest.
There was an incident that a little girl was raped and murdered by the guerrillas in a small village.
Mr. Prosper, who is the commander of the military, advanced his men to this small village to hunt the guerrillas.
But the incident was all planned out by him, so that he could have a raping party for himself. The girls, who were suspicious as guerrillas, were arrested. That was the beginning of the insane raping party.

So is there any sparkling, major difference in how MG treated Kira Kira (scripting, cut material, editing, etc)? Or should I test it out before buying?

>We know that you’ve been asking for cheaper prices on our download to own games for a while, and we’ve decided to give you all an early Christmas present by lowering our prices! We’re dropping the prices on almost every title in our catalog, so if you were on the fence before, it’s a great time to get a little something for yourself while buying presents for all the 3D people and waifus in your life!

The version of KiraKira I have has typos here and there, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the game. Not sure if they have something updated on their site now.

Is Edelweiss any good? Maybe I'll buy that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6581730
I wasn't aware of any cut material from Kira Kira. Plus apart from a few typos the scripting and editing was satisfactory.

Wouldn't hurt to purchase them anyway. Just think of it as Try then Buy?

You could buy it anyway for the sake of supporting it. Instead of, you know, being a worthless leech that contributes nothing to the greater good. I know you're a unique and beautiful snowflake, and the universe revolves around you, but could you try just once to not act like a spoiled 13-year-old girl? You can still be the little girl, just don't like one.

If you're really from Manga Gamer then how about fixing Koihime Musou so people can actually buy it?

[Anonymous No.]

The sooner they go out of business the better. They haven't translated one interesting game yet and I'm sick of their bullshit.

When your target market is a group of people that don't have jobs and spend 12 hours a day on the internet and know how to pirate everything you should question your sanity.

Would if I could - the web system we have doesn't support preorders. Yes, those of us on the ground know it's messed up. No, there's not much we can do about it at the moment.

And yes, the game's well into beta testing so should be out on time.

This is pretty much the only way to save yourself mangagamer devs. Sadly AliceSoft would probably want too high royalties or not want to go to the English market to begin with, but it would make people rich.

Jast rode the wave of the Anime Boom.
Haven't you seen their main page? It says "Your powerlevel must be this low to enter"

[sloanereinja !!R7qj0Z7h8Tz No.]

>>6581934
Not at the moment - our demographics don't look like they'd support it and our parent companies don't have much of a BL/Otome catalogue to choose from.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6581940
Seeing as JAST are reluctant to release Chaos Head (no porn) and Saya no Uta (because they're pussies) how about negotiating for the rights to them? There's definitely a market for those games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6581952
It's not Jast it's Nitro+. Jast has everything finished they are just waiting for Nitro+ to put the finishing touches/clear them for release, but Nitro+ is too busy actually making money to put up with their shit.

I would buy something from mangagamer but they have only old crap.Why they dont translate something new...

[Anonymous No.]

>>6581940
That's a shame, but understandable. I'm not sure if the BL titles would sell (I heard that Enzai and Absolute Obedience sold atrociously - but then again, they were perhaps a bit too kinky to be the first licensed BL games), but otome ones probably would. Hell, over the past few days we've had people coming into random threads asking how to patch Starry Sky, as if they've never installed a VN before.

Well, uh. This is pretty cool, I guess? But I already got Kira Kira, Curtain Call, Edelweiss, Eiden Fantasia, Shuffle, Soul Link, Suika and all of Higurashi. And all but Suika I bought at their full price. Sex romps don't exactly look interesting. Maybe I'll grab Da Capo or something?

Seriously guys. You should get at least something from them now.

Having the option to buy physical copies is a smart movie, dev-kun. Even if it's that extra bit pricier, it's what people would pay for just to have a box.

The site says Da Capo runs on Windows XP and Vista 32 bit. Has anyone got it to work on Windows 7 64 bit? My system is more than powerful enough. Is my OS too new?

The demo does not work.

Internet says it runs okay in WINE. Might have to reinstall Ubuntu in a virtualbox. Any other option?

Also, when I try to run it in Windows 2000 (again not stated as a supported OS) the title screen shows up. I can get into the options and load screens. But when I click Start the windows goes black and this error message comes up. I can't read it. That OS happens to be in Japanese locale... will try in English...

But I'd really prefer to play it on my host OS (Windows 7 64 bit) if possible.
