Maitetsu Fixes and Updates

The anger is multilayered.

1) We get porn scenes, but have the ecchi scenes censored. Makes no sense and can only have been done to infuriate customers and belittle their intelligence.
2) Lose and Sekai never wanted to release anything but the all-ages game to begin with. It was threats of never buying from them again that made them even bother with discussing the 18+ version. So it is a version neither Lose nor Sekai cared about, and then they managed to "discuss and agree on a version they are both happy with". Shame that doesn't involve a single happy customer.
3) I don't understand how publishers of games can be so irresponsible that they never tell companies that "Oh this choice you made means we lose thousands of sales, is that OK with you?". Why would Lose ever agree to miss half their market due to censorship of scenes? It just can't be a choice they made aware and informed about the western market.
4) We wanted a proper product to show the world the market of loli games. Instead the opposition just gets an excuse to claim "See, loli games don't sell. Only sell big breasted girl games".

And we don't like where these things can lead. Lose might stop releasing western VNs because bad sales, all due to Sekai not telling them that fog scenes and bath towels are despised in the west. So we'd lose a whole franchise from Sekai's "don't care" attitude. Sekai may also use this as an excuse to never again listen to fans, because we don't buy their 18+ games even if we request them. So we might get all-ages games only from all the top tier japanese eroge companies.

Right now we are playing right into their hands if we don't buy the game. Because then they can do only all-ages Baldr Sky and claim there isn't an 18+ market. But if we buy the game, we also accept that they can replace the entire game with all-ages content and just add on HCG scenes as an appendix.

It could have been twice as big if companies didn't alienate customers and promote piracy though. Because when you need to download torrents for good translations and CG restoral, you kind of lose motivation to go to the stores and buy the games. I'd personally rather donate 100 dollars to a fan that made a restore patch, than pay 20 dollars for a VN a company didn't put effort into.

I would have actually paid 50 dollars for an uncensored Maitetsu. Now it bothers me to pay 30 dollars for a lesser version. And I won't even bother paying 12 dollars on Steam just to own the game twice, because that is way more than it is worth in this censored state.

If you ask me, they should replace most of the staff at Sekai and Lose, and just hire cosplay maids. At least those know how to listen to customers and deliver a service.

Yeah, good evening fellow friends. I'm Hata from Visual-Novel.info and we decided to help to fix bad releases to get back to their old glory. We are currently working on a Trample on Schatten Patch together with our fellow friends. But what we finalized is a patch for Maitetsu.

We made a fully working Drag & Drop Patch for Maitetsu with that completely fixes the game to the state, which it should be if DenpaSoft actually made a worthwhile release. However, it will not decensor the mosaics, thats just too much effort we are willing to offer. Also badly redrawn genitals ruin the experience imo...

We are trying to make an impact in our community not only for the EoP side, but also other visual-novel enthusiasts.

You are all welcome. We will try to keep you all up to date and create patches, when the community needs them. Trample is a tidbit harder to understand...own compiler and such, but we will find a way. The mastermind who is working on these patches does not want the glory, so we keep their identity a secret.

Edit: We found out our programmer based this one on helios patch mostly. We're going to add the missing lines asap so we actually did some modifications..orz.

Make Eroge Great Again.

And now thanks to Fakku, we have a butchered release that can't seem to decide whether it wants to be an eroge or an all-ages title, which in turn damaged Fakku's rep thanks to SP and Lose's poor handling of the localization. Lose's interference was an unexpected hinderance in this debacle, but SP's bugged/lazy/meek handling of Lose's request was a perfectly predictable hinderance. If Sekai wasn't already hostile to loli content, they would've done a better job to persuade Lose into changing their minds. Clearly this didn't happen.

In the videogame industry, the developer is subordinate to the publisher, not the other way around. This makes the publisher responsible for whatever the developers put out, because publishers are often the ones providing funding to the developers (and in this case, a storefront to sell the games). This gives them huge control over what the developers can/cannot release, as well as a good chunk of the profit from sales. DICE wouldn't have tried to implement lootboxes with Battlefront 2 if EA wasn't requiring them to do so.

Sekai Project already has a questionable reputation in the VN community thanks to numerous controversies stemming from their poor localizations and confrontational staff members. By agreeing to publish this game and profiting off of this release, Fakku automatically assumes responsibility for any issues that Sekai Project creates with this release.

If Fakku wanted to avoid putting their name on the line, they should've known better than to be Sekai Project's publisher.

You are doing gods work sir thanks.

I will never understand why jap devs want to censor their products in the US. It never helps sales. It still a loli game with porn, come on. Kudos to fakku for at least being honest about the whole situation. Also Sekai Project is cancer, trains deserve better.

I'm 99% sure this is more related to Steam than anything else. Most likely the 18+ CG gallery part is locked from screenshots, but the in game is not. So they can let all-ages users play the VN and share screenshots and create hype for the game. But then they could screenshot naked lolis in a bath on Steam, and they don't want that.

So people buying the standalone version will just have to suffer because they want Steam sales for 12 dollars. Well, I guess we only have to be angry and hate publishers, as we can solve it with 3rd party patches.
