21:24:06 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Chou Dengeki Stryker from Overdrive (All Ages)
21:24:14 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> after the success of Go Go Nippon on steam
21:24:26 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> they have decided to rework the game a bit to put it on Steam
21:24:46 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> those who already bought it ... the only thing the steam version does is delete the h-scenes
21:24:54 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> the hardcopy will be the adult version
21:25:04 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Announcements
21:25:10 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> brand new ones...
21:25:38 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> first one...
21:25:57 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> by Novectacle
21:27:25 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> The House in Fata Morgana
21:27:40 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> A Gothic Suspense Sotry, coming soon
21:27:49 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> first new announcements for here...
21:28:05 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> i suppose it's technically an otome game, but it's more a gothic suspense horror story
21:28:27 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> the story begins when the protagonist awakens in the house and is awoken by a maid who leads you through the tale of the mysterious house and the curse
21:28:42 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> going through the ages as they go through each door
21:29:12 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> was this an otome game or? i think technically... not quite...
21:29:22 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> as I said, we got nothing but BL and otome tonight, so sorry guys
21:29:45 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> next...
21:29:52 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> title from Clockup
21:32:21 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> euphoria
21:33:08 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> okay first thing i want to say abotu the game.. it has a lot of bdsm and torture.. it's great if you are into that, but it has a lot of other stuff, so don't write it off
21:34:58 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> so basically the protagonist and 6 of his fellow students and their teacher wake up in a room and the voice tells them there is a game where you have to forcefully get with the girls to get on ... the game is a mystery and you ahve to figure out what's going on
21:35:08 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> the game has a lot of psychological horror and mystery elements
21:35:16 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> for all of its quirks, it's actually interesting to work on
21:35:25 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and you are all actually sick bastards for wanting this...
21:35:31 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> this is one of the extreme games we'll ever release because of content
21:35:34 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and maybe in the west period
21:35:40 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it pushes a lot of boundries
21:35:59 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and it's not afraid to touch into psychological horror that the protagonist and the girls are going through
21:36:04 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it sounds like a nukige but it's not
21:36:11 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> we are doing the HD remaster which came out this year
21:36:14 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> 800x600 was the old one
21:37:51 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it's being bumped to up to 1024 (same aspect ratio)
21:36:21 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it will be uncensored
21:36:26 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> we're not going to cut anything from this game
21:36:41 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> extreme visuals can be disabled in the options
21:36:49 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> there's also a (missed) button
21:36:52 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it has a ton of options
21:37:18 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> for those of you who can't stomache some of the content, you can turn it off
21:37:22 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> movable message box...
21:38:07 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> next title for the night...before we go on to it
21:38:21 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> after our first panel, we left you with the words "keep the minority spirt"
21:38:36 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> we got wayword, but there is one person who kept it
21:38:47 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and i'm going to let him present this
21:39:03 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> eden*
21:39:12 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> minori
21:40:57 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and to introduce eden.. we have our translator who has been working on this for a while
21:40:59 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> roman, take it away
21:41:05 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> to be clear, the translation is complete
21:41:59 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> the game starts out in a pre-apocolypse... so they genetically modify people knowing the earth will be wiped out... and the protagnoist has to protect the smartest of these people
21:42:26 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> before we move on, i want to say, that eden is our first step in a grand and new project between us and minori for visual novels in japan
21:42:31 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and for visual novels here in the us
21:42:37 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> first something, before i go into that
21:42:41 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> there will be two versions of eden
21:42:46 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> eden* and eden+mosaic
21:42:51 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> the latter is the adult version
21:43:09 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> we're aiming the all ages version to steam
21:43:11 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> we are not editing the game, this was the original release
21:43:17 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> plus mosaic was a later addon
21:43:47 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and that leads into the next announcement .... all the profits from eden are going to go into the localization of our next announcement
21:45:43 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Supipara
21:45:52 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> before we continue the explanation of the plan...the plot
21:46:17 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> protagonist comes home for the first time in 7 years... and he winds up on the action committe for a traditional beauty contest at the school....
21:46:24 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> so to give more details about the plan
21:46:30 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it probably helps to give some background of it
21:46:45 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> supipara was originally developed for release in japan, intended to be multiple releases, episodic releases
21:46:54 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> after the first 2 were released in japan, it didn't quite do well engouh for them to continue
21:47:01 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> 1 release with the first 2 chapters
21:47:06 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> so the project here between us and minori
21:47:27 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> once the profits from eden release 100k, we'll do supipara ch1, at 200k, we'll do ch2
21:47:46 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> however, the sum profit from all 3 games will then be going into the development of the rest of supipara
21:47:57 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> if this succeeds, all future chapters of supipara will be released here in the west first
21:48:15 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> this is something that has never been done before in the west
21:48:38 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> all i want to say is that there are further surprises if this project actually succeeds in releasing supipara
21:48:44 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> and supipara will be coming to steam since the game is all ages
21:49:04 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Q&A
21:49:34 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Q: About 2 or 3 years ago, you say you were lookinginto licensing hentai on mangagamer
21:49:40 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Any plans to proceed with that?
21:49:55 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> A: There has been some ties to that in th elogic for licensing some of those games
21:50:04 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> it's something we're interesting into diversifying into
21:50:13 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> the original plans we had fell through... it's still something we're interested in
21:50:22 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Q: How does one get involved with beta testing?

21:50:58 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Q: d2b vs deardrops... i know there is an 18+ version
21:51:23 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> A: There was never an 18+ version... there was a bundle that was released that was adult cause deardrops is adult
21:51:30 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Q: With Supipara, why aren't you going with kickstarter?
21:51:43 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> A: Because both us at mangagamer and minori want to be more professional about this
21:51:51 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Q: Why aren't you accepting pre-orders of supipara?
21:52:12 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> A: Heads up... for eden...we're still at eden.. . and that has to come out first
21:52:18 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> for eden, we're looking at ideally, out before the end of the year...

21:54:57 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> A: (explains that fakku was sending out DMCA after becoming an official distributor of something and then "that's not our thing")
21:55:42 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> We got 5 min left.. I guess this will be the end
21:55:44 <bay|Ota|Mangagamer> Thank you all for coming
