[Locked] Maitetsu patch does not replace all-age cgs

Thanks.

Reminder that Dovac is a liar and will lie through his teeth to save face. To me this whole "waiting the developer in Japan to approve" is just an excuse to evade and do nothing, again. Why wouldn't Lose say "yes, go fix your shit"? I'm really tempted to send an email to Lose myself, I hope google translator is good enough for them.

I don't know if its too much to ask but i was wondering if you could do mine as well? I got the same message.

Well, I retrieved my old FAKKU account just for this game, and there are problems... Why am I not surprised seeing Sekai Project's name ?

I seriously wanted to trust them for this game, even more knowing FAKKU would sell it. THe result is what we have today... I won't ask a refund, because it wasn't a lot of money, but I hope FAKKU will be able to pressure SP enough to patch those issues as fast as possible.

Oh and a word about Dovac : lol. He's known for his behavior, and it seems some things never change. Never buy SP VN unless you can certify the quality is the best yo can have.

I hope FAKKU will be able to deliver us the true ultimate train experience.

With respect to Mangagamer and loli content, it's mostly a matter of degree. Games like Imouto Paradise and Koihime Musou have loli characters, but there's also multiple other characters that don't raise issues. The lolis can sort of get lost in the crowd. Games like Sweet Sweat feature lolis, but the character designs are such that at least you can claim they're on the right side of puberty (if barely). The problem with Monobeno and similar lolige is that the lolis are the main focus, and some of them are unquestionably on the wrong side of puberty. I think it's just a bridge too far, even for Mangagamer. What's weird is Sekai Project licensing Maitetsu in the first place, since even the all-ages version could raise eyebrows.

I think the majority of people realize that Uncensored means that the story is the uncut 18+ story and has H-Scenes. That aside how do i go about asking for a refund? Do I just send in an email?
(edit: Do I just send in an email after AX?)

I am not gonna lie. Until I read all these comments about censorship, I assumed Maitetsu was gonna be equal to If My Heart Had Wings but instead of the group restoring a glider, they restore a train. Didn't realize it had a motif. I guess just going off of the Steam page screen shots doesn't put things into perspective that well, but after examining the screenshots here more closely, I believe I've figured things out.....

In any case, I'm glad Jacob will talk directly with the Publisher during this AX thing, thanks for being diligent.

Licensing: Isn't as simple as it being "your" own game. No way to know for sure how difficult it is without being involved, but voice actors, musicians, artists (music and otherwise), may own a piece of the pie and need to have their contracts renegotiated (although I guess that's much easier doing it yourself than bringing in a third-party). This isn't even including middleware solutions such as the game engine, or other software libraries that may need to be re-licensed. As it stands, Maitetsu uses the E-Mote system, and that doesn't look cheap. I'm guessing that's the largest reason why none of the usual English eroge companies have been able to get the Bishoujo Mangekyou series or Rondo Duo (at least I hope they've been looking at those games... save us Jacob).

No idea about the work needed to make the international store work, but I imagine you need to find a payment processor willing to handle those types of purchases (r18 with controversial content and international purchases), expect a large enough return on your investment on another language, and build your game with the expectation of supporting other languages.

Language barrier: I'd say Dark Souls is the exception, not the rule to follow considering how the souls series didn't even get a Japanese dub until Bloodborne. Obviously devs still need to collaborate with translators as English fluency in Japan is a big problem. I don't think we want CGrascal translations to become the norm (<3). I think Key's been trying that out, self-publishing their games on steam now that they know there's enough interest and have connections built up with translators.

Cultural barriers: I actually agree with you here. Unfortunately though, cultural barriers doesn't just refer to language, see RapeLay and Battle Raper. Negative international attention was one of the reasons Illusion (thank god Fakku fixed that bridge) and other eroge companies decided to block off non-Japanese IP addresses because of the problems it caused domestically. As it stands, Sekai Project and Fakku took a huge risk bringing Maitetsu over, and Sekai Project's the one with the established relationship with Steam to lose.
