Our team is currently working on a professional quality Bishoujo-esque PC game (and I do mean professional quality) sans voice. It'll be done in the next 4 months.A few questions though:
(1) Is there be a market for a U.S. made, non-Japanese fantasy "bishoujo-esque" game, or is "Japanese-ness" an essential ingredient?
(2) What would you like to see in such a game?
(2) How important is voice acting to your enjoyment of Bishoujo games? Would you consider purchasing such a game with no voice, but music?
Voice acting is important...
That said, no voice is better than bad/mediocre voice acting.
Japanese seiyuu seem to be much better at faking orgasms than do American voice actresses.
Japaneseness? Well, since bishojo games are Japanese to start with, Japaneseness is always present. That said, there's nothing wrong with something that isn't Japanese on a cultural level. However, it does add an extra layer of "exotic" to the products, but that's not something I'd advise you try, as faux exotic is often something that backfires, badly, for products.
What would I want?
No lolicon!
Fantasy? What type of fantasy? Swords & Sorcery fantasy or that one with the current line-up of Victoria's Secret models and myself are castaways in a tropical paradise?
Although you've not specified whether this is an adult bishojo game, here's something else I want:
No scat!
If we're talking Swords & Sorcery here, nekkid female elf nookie is a must.
