Thread 1817336

A 3D ARPG gacha with """baseball""" minigames. EoS was already announced, but it can still be played until November.
Partly created by Kodaka of Danganronpa fame, he announced that he plans to continue it with the other project leads through non-commercial works.

Saizo was too good for this world

3 months for refund application and then one more month for the actual refund...

I will never forget KINO Nine and Tsuki!

a week until kaiju 8 any% RTA TAS eos speedrun

>>1817336 (OP)
Yes! Thank you for making this thread. We need to wait to see what happens with Neoneon. But it's still good to see what will happen next.

>>1817476
I am going to miss this game. I really liked the Action Gameplay and the Characters. Production team and Developers really knew what they were doing. Just was bad management.

i wanted enoki's maid skin so bad

>>1817336 (OP)
Is this how you honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Nine?

Surely they'll cancel the EoS announcement before November
All of this was just a big stunt

>>1818086
I hope they don't because I want my refund.

>>1817660
save the animals

>>1817906
I did as well. It's sad we never managed to fully see what it looked like, but I could imagine it being cool with some flair to it.

I had a dream anons.

>>1818266
It's still so funny to me that the tools to save the game where literally right there but they decided to drop no actual content that the majority of new players would want.

Interview with Neo NEON tribe
>Shuten Kyodan was originally going to be announced the day after Tribe Nine announced EOS but Kodaka begged DMM games to postpone it
>Shuten Kyodan's illustrator, Shimadoriru, was a fan of Tribe Nine and played since the closed beta
>there are several unused finalized character designs ready to be turned into 3D models
>Kodaka wrote the scenario, character personalities, and the city settings
>Kodaka initially wanted to discuss with Akatsuki to let the game staff write the story to its conclusion rather than him [from the way the answer flowed I think it meant Kodaka was set to write the game's ending if the game didn't EOS? not sure]
>the circle's name comes from the character NEON
>they don't know where the Minato Tribe characters are, the connection between Zero and Kamiya Shun, or how to incorporate the Ota Tribe
>this is the first time Kodaka is writing using someone else's scenario
>Yamaguchi tried to get an official license but various circumstances made it difficult and the only reason the doujin circle was allowed is because there are former staff working on it
>Kodaka admits that it would be easier to start over with a new ip that is a spiritual sequel to Tribe Nine but that goes against the point of not wanting to leave the Tribe Nine fans with nothing so they had to make it official or equivalent
>they want to ask fan volunteers for help with translations and illustrations
>Kodaka said Takada can make Tribe Nine-esque music for them but getting Rui Komatsuzaki or Shimadoriru involved is difficult
>two companies expressed interest in joining (not confirmed)
>concrete results in autumn 2025

>>1819150
Concrete results just means they might show something by autumn by the way. I wouldn't expect anything big like a new chapter

Tribe status?

>>1818389
That and I will always find it weird they were thinking it would be like Umamusume but difference is Cygames kept pushing and changed managers and they kept making QOL changes to make it better. Akatsuki just gave up which is just sad.

>>1819150
I really like this comment by Kodaka. It seems like what they are going to do is to try to do is basically make something so compelling more companies would be interested in getting the license from Akatsuki Games and potentially making it into a Game itself. This is perhaps what also Yamaguchi mentioned about getting everyone to reevaluate what Tribe Nine is and to pick it up.

Also what is interesting is it seems like he will be starting from Chapter 5 and continuing it.

>>1819150
>>Kodaka said Takada can make Tribe Nine-esque music for them but getting Rui Komatsuzaki or Shimadoriru involved is difficult
I can agree, I guess it's due to the whole copyright thing and it can not use original works. They can only make it adjacent to the work. So it might need another illustrator that can basically be similar to Shimadoriru and Komatsuzaki. I do hope they can do a Web Format justice, and make Neoneon much like Tribe Nine but with a whole Visual Novel bent like they have been saying.

>>1819155
TRIBE ONLINE!

tribbers we are so tribbing XBack

>>1818526
>flat brown girl
ughhhhh... I might have to try this game after all...

Is there any place I can buy official 100 Line merchandise?

>>1819459
akatsuki got another...

Just release Project Akatsuki and make it a waifu game. I know it has the Tribe Nine Engine underneath.

>>1819150
>>Kodaka wrote the scenario, character personalities, and the city settings
>>this is the first time Kodaka is writing using someone else's scenario
What?

>>1820037
I think they mean that Kodaka wrote the general scenario, the general outlines for the personality and the overall broad settings for each city and allowed the writers to fill in the blanks.

>>1820055
So we have indeed lost the actual writer and it's going to go to shit now that Kodaka's taking over writing duties. Great.

>>1819705
They got me with this one. Though I don't think they're the main dev.

we could've ended Hoyoshit with HIM :(

>>1820669
I will miss Saizo. I wanted to get him just for humor sake and make everyone mad.

technically he made everyone mad, even the suits at akatsuki

>>1820994
Can you imagine it lol
>We did not make Genshin numbers
>How will we get our retention back
>Here is Saizo he will save our game
>EOS
To think though that right after we would have had two maids, and a great backstory to really kick it up a notch in the next chapter.

>>1820669
>buffed attack speed just so he could be GOD tier
>added a whole ass new pet mechanic just because of him
>would likely have gotten a dedicated event since he barely showed up just so people would have a reason to maybe pull on him
We were robbed.

>>1821091
>whole ass new pet mechanic
I know she was ass to play, but that was Oi's gimmick too.

>>1821098
WE WERE ROBBED OF SWIMSUIT OI AND JK (false) OI I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM

>To think though that right after we would have had two maids, and a great backstory to really kick it up a notch in the next chapter.
I want to think he was planned around a successful launch as the typical "skip bait" banner inbetween the good stuff but they didnt think itd flop THAT hard or so im hardcoping with

Never forget

Another interview with Neo NEON Tribe. Not much in terms of new info. Suginaka apparently worked at Game Freak and was in charge of stories and events for Black and White up to Sword and Shield. He also knows about Tribe Nine's latest story settings and is working with Kodaka to mesh things together

>>1821287
I also really like this answer
>Kodaka: Personally, I think it's better for Japanese game development to be more dependent on creators and have a high degree of individuality. I think that this will result in more games that are truly Japanese. That's my goal, and with that comes a sense of responsibility for the work. If I'm Kodaka and I'm using the name Too Kyo Games, I feel a sense of responsibility to sincerely face our users, in good times and bad, regardless of the actual rights.

>>1821287
>Suginaka apparently worked at Game Freak and was in charge of stories and events for Black and White up to Sword and Shield.
The same guy in charge of the best and worst of Pokemon?

>>1821319
The only game I played was black and white so I can't really comment on the other games. His company Chronogate is mostly a support studio so I think he just isn't the type to have a big say in what the direction of the story is going to be like

>>1821098
True, but it wasn't distinguished enough to be a keyword on Tension Cards until his patch.

>>1817883
The bringer of EOS... and refunds

Who actually wrote for Tribe Nine and how do I get them to make their own JRPG

>>1821201
The one that always made me laugh the most was how they kept talking about how hard the game was to play and how you needed to be a NEET or 700 hours of Action Game experience to beat the grind Dungeon. I swear those people are retards. They deserve to get their mediocrity and slop from Mihoyo.

>>1821866
We just don't know.

>>1821287
Kodaka is absolutely right on this. I think this is what is hugely important about EOS and ending Live Service games. Is seeing them to completion whether that is a game to sell because the Live Service was successful for a long time, a Doujin Circle to bring back interest, or to allow it to come to a conclusion. It needs to be ended properly. A lot of Live Services need to do a better job by the fans and the creators for that.

>>1821288
Agreed, I think this also is an issue as well. Sometimes I feel like in the Gacha space, Japanese are too focused on fitting between standard lines due to IP Gacha that is Anime and Game based. But when it comes to original IP Gacha I wish we had more of that, Tribe Nine, Umamusume definitely feel like those types of things that feel like a lot of money, high degree of individuality and were heavily dependent on creators. It also felt really fresh because they were not always playing it safe in terms of storytelling, characters, but also the gameplay was sort of fresh as well and highly stylized aesthetic.

I just wish they were not so paranoid where they felt like they have to look exactly like Genshin Impact or Fortnite in design and play it safe.

>>1821136
That's my thought as well. I think nobody over there was believing in their minds it would end this early, not all of us, not the devs, not the director. It seemed very premature for Akatsuki to just cut everything when it did not work out. Usually from what I have heard in Japan usually they wait a year before saying they will cancel the Gacha or they will keep continuing it as they give a fixed amount of money per year on the game or up it depending on the money internally. If something last longer than 2-3 years it's usually safe. Umamusume being the case of that. It's why Tribe Nine's cancellation and EOS is unprecedented in the Gacha world and to creators of Tribe Nine and to all of us. Whoever the CEO is should be fired or replaced for making such an error like that.

>>1819209
The only companies that would do this are ones from fucking China at this point.

Tribe Nine crawled so Kaiju No 8 could run.

>didnt even last enough to sell goods of the game
tfw no tsuki nendo

>>1822875
That is what strikes me as odd to. Like did they not think to have Merchandise, Advertising and everything else ready when it began? Or did they just assume this would be a slow burn and then they can have everything up and running.

>>1822943
Considering the known leaks, I think it's safe to assume they switched things halfway through production of what was going to be a sport management gacha, into a ZZZ competitor and they blew all the money in the process, as well as time too.

Semba merchandise...

>>1823292
Semba's official 1:1 onahole...

>start the game with male limited
>a literally who

Kaijubros...

>>1823647
They learned from Tribe 9, male banners are a great way to kill a game you don't want to support

No kaiju thread?

>>1823700
It's even shittier and lower quality than I expected. The animations are lazy as fuck, the UI is zero effort and doesn't even tell you what effects buffs actually give you, and it runs like shit too when it doesn't even look particularly good.

>>1823700
we are IN the kaiju bread bwo, this is akatsuki games graveyard

K8 eos status?

wait its out already? i wanted to try it to see how bad it is but id rather continue playing modded engage instead now

Tribe bros? are we playing Kaiju?

kaijudeeznuts

>it's doing better than tribe nine on launch
Nyo...

>>1823825
I don't know why everyone's so obsessed with hateplaying it.

everyone here is just tsundere for akatsuki

>>1823861
I've not watched the anime, and I doubt Akatsuki can make a good game. I would like to see the company implode, but I won’t negative review bomb it out of spite any longer.
Although warning people about how they mishandled tribe nine is more a civil service desu.

>>1823864
Can agree they also did have issues with Atelier.

>>1823847
Lol that's not saying much. IP Gacha always have a great launch and then really plummet after 3 months. Then basically stay low in userbase until it dies.

>>1823864
>I doubt Akatsuki can make a good game
But we're in the thread of a good game they made (before they fired all of the talent responsible)
To be clear I'm not defending them necessarily, but I'm not interested in supporting them so I simply won't engage with their games. Though I haven't decided if I'm going to buy HYKE yet or just pirate it though. I would like them to be able to say that single player non-gacha games are viable since that's what Tribe Nine should have been all along.

>>1823870
I think that's the issue at hand. Akatsuki seems to know how to make good Simgle Player games. It makes me wonder though what they intend to do after Kaiju fails.

>>1823847
>not even top 10
yep, eos soon, some akatsuki suit probably

Why are all the Kaiju girls flat? Not complaining btw.

>>1823870
I thought HYKE looked awful so that's an easy decision for me.

>>1823872
>It makes me wonder though what they intend to do after Kaiju fails.
Continue coasting on Dokkan Battle money, of course.

>>1823873
>>1823868
you guys have to wish for it to succeed for it to actually flop or else it won't work

>>1821201
Woah I made that post
Honestly I wonder if the game staying alive and me seething over the badge would've been a better timeline over the blueballing EoS which we got. I think I ended up using pulover's macro creator to macro the first 100 notes of that stage, it took about 12 hours of painstaking work and i still had 600 notes left to do. Never had a NEET like me felt such drive to fuck over the devs by beating it with a macro and gloating about it on /tng/.
I recall in the end they announced all events added would never go away in the roadmap, so really I stopped caring about the badge after that since it would be permanently attainable and not FOMO.
I miss Tribe

>>1823825
Waiting to review bomb it on steam

Kaiju 8 chads won

>2.6
Not so fast, Kaiju 8 is losing.

nigga this gayme is gay

>>1823994
>5 girls
>12 guys
Is this an even worse gender ratio than Tribe Nine had?

>>1823994
holy homosexual, surely this would make the resident fujo happy

>>1823994
>Kaiju No.8
Well at least we had the Otherkin representation for the LGBT community.

>>1823986
What are they saying about it?

>>1823961
Honestly I think it was on a good path to fixing everything I like the idea that these events would be more permanent and attainable. Also I did confuse your comments for those on Gachagaming because there were people who flat out lied about Tribe Nine in the grind dungeon being too hard with Red Shark or how everyone needed to be a NEET to get through the game and have immensely huge power levels.

>>1824000
It's a Jump manga what do you expect

>>1824613
A game with more Females than men or an equal gender ratio.

K8 got repetitive real quick. Uninstalled.

where's the kaiju general?

i miss tribe nine...

redpill me on kaiju bros

>>1825635
characters and weapons are in the same gacha pool with a 250 spark system, gameplay focused on matching the enemy weakness shield's elements with your attacks to break them and do big damage and turn manipulation but 99% of the content is auto'd anyways, characters and weapons have the same constelation system as genshit

>>1825649
>99% of the content is auto
god I hate gacha
except t9

>>1825183
How bad is it? Let me know.

>>1825696

Even worse than anyone can imagine. This is an insult to anyone's intelligence.

>>1823986
Is it Kaijover?

https://x.com/neoneon_tribe/status/1963180589311262922
Two new people joined Neo NEON Tribe. I think these are the two unconfirmed people Kodaka mentioned in the interviews >>1819150 >>1821287
Fujihiko Sawai from WACHAJACK and Shunsuke Kamata from VACANCE. Their companies both worked on Death Come True with Sawai's company on concept art and Kamata's company on media contents which I think means multimedia stuff? I played Death Come True and it wasn't that good but I thought the presentation itself was pretty nice for a VN that used live action footage

>>1825913
https://x.com/kazkodaka/status/1963182503700681047
Kodaka said they'll be working on character introduction illustrations

Do people actually care about the story of T9? Feels like most of the appeal is Rui's art. Without him, this project won't be successful.

>>1825913
Sawai's company also made concept art for Hundred Line and that new game Shuten Kyodan

>>1825924
>Feels like most of the appeal is Rui's art
if that were true tribe 9 would still be alive...

please play 終天教団

>>1825924
Honestly, I care more about the story in the context of a game than a passively experienced medium like a webnovel or VN. Yeah I waana know what Trash Tribe and Zero and the NUMBERS are getting up to, but if I don't get to actually roam the streets of each city and fight more inexplicably out of place giant mechs along the way it's kinda like what's the point?

>>1825924
I thought the story was just on point with the cringe kino

>>1825924
Rui's art got me interested in the game at first glance but the story was serviceable enough to keep me around, wich was a huge bummer knowing what happened lol

>>1826066
Where is her nose?

>>1826066
That art is awful.

>>1825924
I feel like the rest here. I was interested due to Rui's designs, then I played the game and noticed Takeda's music, and the writing really was drawing me in heavily. Also count in the fact I am used to playing Action games like Oneechanbara, Devil May Cry, and even Senran Kagura it felt like it was unreal how a game could be that good.

I will say though for a Gacha like these to be successful it has to have great Artists to get people to come in and play the game, the rest is on the writing and dev team themselves to deliver.

>>1825913
>>1825915
This might be interesting to have a Multimedia project to start it off and generate interest.

>>1825948
This might be a good thing then. They might be used as a new Artist to help get the project going due to the fact they can not use Rui much in this instance.

Its nice to see that people still draw Tribe Nine characters

>>1826917
There's still people participating in doing themed drawings. It's cute to see what they're getting up to. Very first pic I saw was Gotanda in a meido outfit

>>1826919

>>1826917
I am glad they do as well. It feels sad we will not see as much Tsuruko.

It's over for Tribe Order

>>1827865
>day after release
>can't even keep a /v/ thread up

>>1827865
>Releasing the same day as Silksong isn't going to have any effect on our g-ACK

>>1827865
This game was mediocre. But honestly I do not feel like this was going to win any awards.

Semba love

>>1827865
I hated 100Ls, should I give this one a try?

>>1829447
You have no taste, so no.

[Sad News] Akatsuki seeing the mild reception Kaiju No 8 had on launch has suddenly released a female limited banner which overtook the initial male limited banner in sales.

~2.5 months for refund request...

>>1829876
>lets spend trillions making high budget games with character designs no one likes
>ob shit this one EoS lets do it again
At this point it has to be inner sabotage

>>1829876
finally, after multiple eos, akatsuki has learned that females sell in gacha

>>1829973
>12 males 5 females
i dunno bro...

>>1829978
everyone make mistakes, now they just have to correct course, perhaps give tribe 9 another shot too while at it

>>1829973
If females sell why did their female only gacha die?

>>1829989
uuh resleriana had males bro

>>1829433
I'm sad she's gotten almost no art since closure announcement, but the rare new piece I see I always appreciate.
