Kusoge.

>A visual novel that isn't attached to a gacha in current year
Holy fuck it's a miracle

>>281562797
>miracle
...no? Most VN releases have no relations to any gacha. I can think of one release from this year that was funded with gacha money (anemoi probably will be too) at most

>>281562724 (OP)
>officially released in English
By this kind of "translator"?

>>281562724 (OP)
>check staff
>like 5 different writers

Is this how VNs are now? Produced like films and games with a bunch of different scriptwriters, often conflicting each other? What happened to when they were closer to novels driven by one vision?

>>281562955
It’s a good translation

>>281562991
Key has had at least two different writers since the very beginning, it was never "one vision"

>>281562991
>now
There's always been VNs like that.

>>281562991
Yeah big ticket VNs have studios behind them.
The average VN is made by a small number of people but you get the occasional high effort release

>The project changed directors partway through development, with Sayuki Shun (director of Tsui no Stella) taking over.
>The scope of the project grew significantly, and the game is now about 1.5 times longer than Summer Pockets, which is why its release has been delayed.
>One of the main heroines—the protagonist’s younger sister—was originally announced as not having a romance route. However in today's stream, Kai (the writer of Rikka’s route) left the matter deliberately vague, possibly hinting at something more?
>The developers have no plans to release an expanded edition later on, stating that the game is already massive, with every character receiving a route, much like Clannad.
>The story takes place from early summer through late autumn.
>The longest soundtrack in Key’s history.
>The game will feature multiple mini-games.
>Anemoi will be available in English on Steam, with the release date still to be announced.
>The Japanese version is scheduled to launch on January 30, 2026.

>now
Let me show you the writers of Little Busters

>>281562991
It's always been that way, otherwise you'd just get one writer shilling his waifu in every route instead of every girl getting a proper story

>>281562991
Not every VN studio is structured like 07th expansion where it really is "one vision" - many times different people handle different routes, and the workload is divided (though they work from a common blueprint/outline so it all makes sense)

>>281562724 (OP)
Will Kyoani finally redeem themselves by taking on its anime adaptation after years of nothing but endless faggotry (and that one show about the robot "waifu" that turns out to be a ruined whore in the final movie)?

>>281563234
By the way, I'm still mad at Kyoani for not taking Little Busters and doing random fag shows instead. Those fucking shits!

Looks like shit

>>281562955
>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE YOUR OWN INDEPENDENT OPINIONS OUTSIDE OF WORK HOURS
Fuck off

>>281563121
This definitely doesn't work in LB's favor by the way, there is a huge difference in quality between writers. The game is worth at least a 9 if you only take Maeda's routes but every other route ranges from mediocre to outright shit. So you end up with an overly bloated 6 or 7/10 VN with a great common route and final routes

>>281563109
Forget the little sister route, when will us milfbros be catered to?

>>281563234
We should just go back to Toei doing Key adaptations like the good old days.

>kusoge for casuals has a translation that appeals to normalfags
I sent a signal to every inch of my body to get mad and none of my cells responded

>>281562724 (OP)
>No Madea
>No Romeo
>No Itaru
What's even the point now?

>>281563683
Itaru tried to get back to Key, but they didn't accept her lmao
Now she is doing art for random galge for nexton
https://nexton-net.jp/nexton30th/nvm002/

The heroines look like shit.

>>281563683
>romeo
shit writer

>>281563770
I can barely tell what Nexton even does these days because they have a million brands. Last thing I remember was the ONE remake

>>281563683
Maeda turned into a yurinigger (it's especially hilarious because he is far better at writing male characters)

>>281563683
>>No Madea
>>No Romeo
Jun hasn't written anything worth while in over a decade. Romeo never could write. Rewrite was bad, Kagari is probably the most wasted opportunity of a good character I have ever read. The true ending was completely botched. Can't believe I spent so much time on that VN. And Kai did a good job with Summer Pockets and Tone Works.

>>281563518
WTF is wrong with the mc's face?

>>281563886
He uses alias when he writes for BL/otome games.

>>281563496
Who could adapt Gore Screaming Show?

>>281563234
I don't know if they are interested in making vns. I really enjoy the anime they are doing rn. I also have a question, do the clannad anime and vn have different soundtracks?

>>281563837
>>281563988
Did something change in the past 10 years? Romeo Tanaka used to be considered the greatest contemporary Japanese writer.

>>281563683
Reminder that Key's only good writer was Hisaya (you cannot dispute this)

I'm still waiting for my Sasasasasasegawa After Story.

>>281564058
It's kind of like r07. 10 years ago people were just happy to get whatever they could and beggars couldn't really be choosers kind of thing. Now there's been time for people to form their own opinions.

>>281564188
No, I mean by Japanese speakers who have access to all VNs. Romeo was considered the pinnacle of writing along with the guy who wrote Subahibi. But these days he's barely talked about and no one seems to care about his new VNs.

>>281564218
Go ask Japanese speakers then. Also you should rephrase it as "greatest contemporary Japanese *VN* writer" or something. VNs are pretty low brow, wouldn't put any VN writer on the level as actual novelists.

>>281564218
>along with the guy who wrote Subahibi.
Scaji is a horrible writer lol.

>>281562955
Has Kazusa as profile pic and translates VNs. You do nothing but whine about your retarded online drama. Guess who brings more value?

>>281564408
B-b-but it was all in the MC"s head! It's so meta!

>>281564455
I have your mom as my profile pic.

>>281564188
Well 10 years ago we also didn't have GouSotsu, Higurashi Reiwa and Ciconia being on eternal hiatus

>>281563234
Kyoanus's intentionally been picking up mediocre source material for adaptation for a longer while now. If this game will be any good, it wouldn't have been something they'd be willing to adapt anyway

>>281563998
He's just got a strong chin.

>>281562724 (OP)
This is gonna be another tear-jerker, isn't it? I won't let the cute girls fool me. I can already feel the tragedy coming.

>>281564044
The anime's soundtrack is mostly the same with some songs added and some altered. The added vocals to "town, flow of time, people" is a nice touch.

>>281567678
It's Key
What else what you expect?

>>281565180
that can't be real

>Summer Pockets clone
So more garbage with maybe like one good non-canon side route?
