Even if you know Japanes to certain degree, it doesn’t guarantee that you will understand most of Japanese works. Problem has to do with mostly kanji. Even many Japanese have difficulty with understanding kanji. Especially, something like Demonbane where they use vocabs that we don’t use in daily life, it becomes much more difficult to understand(translate for my part currently). Though that can be said to other languages as well.
My point exactly, although turned around a bit. My Japanese grammar is pretty bad. I often have difficulty constructing sentences or understanding convoluted sentence patterns. On the other hand, I have a good memory for kanji; I’ve seen a lot of them because I play a lot of eroge and I’m also used to looking them up with skip codes and other systems in the rare case that I do come across one I’m unfamiliar with. I had no problems with Demonbane.
I understand. It’s been a year since they announced the official translation. So Nitro+ wants to test their new engine for Demonbane so next games will come out easier, faster and smoother. But seriously, affecting products are ready for sale?
it is basically ready we have to wait for nitro+ to add the uncensored cg’s and insert the english text
but nitro+ decided they needed to move so after they get http://www.jastusa.com/demonbane-update
Jingai Makyou was added to the list of games in production based on a schedule that is no longer operative, so it’s been removed for the time being. Once Demonbane is out we’ll be working with Nitroplus to update our plans for future games from them.
On a tangent, we’re working on a pretty big announcement for December that we think will bring some joy to the eroge world (holiday pun partially intended). More info on that as the pieces are pulled together!
Also, I can confirm that Yumina will not be released before Demonbane. We’re very eager to see this first Nitroplus project complete.
Does that mean the game is cancelled? On hold, but definitely 100% still going to be done? 100% guaranteed-to-be-the-next-game but only if Demonbane sells well enough that NitroPlus doesn’t pull out altogether? Or are you going to completely reassess everything and Jingai Makyou’s status is unknown?
“We” are indeed. I am highly anticipating this game. I’m a big fan of Lovecraft.
Pro-tip. The game uses lots of Lovecraft materials, but it is more about hope and love than cosmic horror and despair.
I am not saying it is impossible to like this game and original Lovecraft works. But I have seen quite few Lovecraft fans criticizing the series because it doesn’t follow the original theme. So I am giving an advice before you play this game with too much anticipation.
To be fair, Demonbane sticks to certain elements of Lovecraft works, especially in prequel novels.
