How bout this?

It’s from ANIM which I think is one of CROWDs sister companies. The artwork is very nice and if some who speaks japanese could give us a rough idea of the story that would be cool(I hate babelfish). It looks like a dark game since the page is all black. The music in the demo movie is good too.

Sincerely to you looks good, I dont see why PP can’t do non-H B-games as it would open up the market a bit and stop people thinking of these games as simply just cartoon porn.
The CG in Quintet says to me that it is a dark game. G-Col is bringing out plenty of dark games so I think that PP should focus on other types of games so that we have a bit more variety.

For a side note, the Italian "motto" of this game is badly mangled and totally incomprehensible. But I'm not surprised. In my opinion, knowledge of Japanese (kanji, in particular) requires most of the brain resources of a normal human being (the Japanese people truly suck in gaijin tongues... this is the reason!!!

I'm sorry for you, but the "story" is, apparently, merely an excuse for another, and conventional, rape/sex-training mix (besides, this game seems a sequel, to me).

I wouldn't mind non-H games myself (I've bought a couple of Hirameki's already) but from what I can tell the market doesn't (currently) exist here, especially for Peach Princess. Most of their existing customers would not buy non-H games, and thus they would have to depend on attracting a whole new group of customers. That would make the venture quite risky, and PP's current financial situation doesn't lend itself to such risk-taking when they're barely getting by as it is. All I'm saying is that the proposal is unrealistic. It's like badgering Konami to bring over Tokimeki Memorial. Konami has already decided that it's not going to bring it over, and nothing we fans can do is likely to change their mind.
It’s a crazy thought but why haven’t any of these companies tried a joint venture for some of their non-H games? Say for example, Konami, Gainax, PrincessSoft and maybe even Playstation who already has an ‘in’ with name recognition, join together under some umbrella company concept to release some of their games for either the Playstation or the PC? Is that not possible?
If it is possible and if they do it, the risk to each individual compnay is greatly minimized or at least spread out enough amongst the four that no one individual company is losing a lot of money (taking a bath on this venture) if it proves to be a loss and if it is a gain and continues to prove a gain they might be able to someday split off and each be successful on their own, or has something like this been tried?

It might sound easy in theory, but I’m sure the contract negotiations involved in such a multi-party endeavor would make it entirely unfeasible.

The problem is showing [b]there]/b] is alot of money in this venture
True, but there was probably a real problem getting this industry started, and okay it has been around for a while is not excatly a multi-billion dollar a year industry, so the same sales pitch probably would not work.
Putting aside the lack of profits argument, many companies have no interest in seeing their products sold outside Japan. especially to non-Asians.
And their lack of interest isn’t very helpful for us.

I also don't think you can entirely put aside the profit issue, because, I know while at this point it does not exist for this market, should it ever that money might be more tempting and they might feel more pressure from stockholders or whatever to enter into this market and get more money. Yes I know not yet, but still that is why I don't think the profit issue can be put aside entirely.

"Sadly"?
I hope PP stays true to the X-Change series and translates the Yin-Yang game aswell.

Agreed. Anything with a pixel art world map is worth the trouble >_< give us more games with isometric world maps!
Is that Crowd’s newest game, or something?
What I would like to see:
I am a fan of dark games. I am not looking to see more dark games translated, rather, I’d like to see darker games translated. I’d happily make the tradeoff to see fewer dark games translated but much darker dark games translated. The game I want is the one which would lead Benoit to run screaming from the room. I recognize that there is a need for variety to satisfy all market segments and I support variety. People who don’t want dark themes should not have to put up with them in the games they buy. On the other hand I get very dissapointed in games like “Slave Pageant” which is the lightest dark game I have ever seen. Greater market segmentation would allow people who don’t buy every game which comes out to get the kind of game they want.
What I would like to see is greater darkness and greater interactivity, particularly in the sex scenes. I’m sure that I’m in a minority among posters here in that I would like to see games which are MORE pornographic. I may be representing a larger segment of the market however, when I say that I’d like to see sex scenes which are more interactive, as opposed to a)Do her on the bed, or, b)Do her in the kitchen, and then reading the scene.
I guess that I would like to see dark games which are less plot driven, are more interactive, and perhaps more character driven. I am sure that there are, lets say, slave training games out in Japan which have these types of characteristics.
