Hello everyone… I was gone a long time but I have seen and done many things.
I know that the big developers like Key and elf etc have no interest in bringing their games over. But I think they should out of the goodness of their hearts.
In all my honest belief I think that if Brave Soul does well, it will be the turning point of the Bishoujo Gaming industry.
If we can make the sales go really high where it would sell at least a million companies. It will turn some heads in Japan.
Himeya went down because it’s approach was all wrong. G-Collections is very serious and handled piracy very well. As a Adultbouncer subscriber I am happy to report that no Bishoujo game by G-collections has been found on any website in the avs network… Same with peachprincess. AB used to be a major piracy hide away for such things. Someone took care of business…
Anyways… Himeya was really good… I loved their games… (Except for Amy’s Fantasies, Love potion and some third one whos name I forgot).
I was STUNNED and AMAZED by the EVE series. I was up at night thinking about what would happen next during the entire MONTH AND A HALF of playtime. It was a long fullfilling game and I am very sad that I can’t see TFA translated since Adam the double factor ended on a major cliff hanger. To the pirates that are reading; I hope you’re happy… If Himeya was still operating today we would have amazing games… They have ties with all the major companies and C’s Ware’s Divi-Dead was something I wanted more of.
When Himeya went under I’m sure they gave the English Bishoujo game market a bad name amoungst the hotshot companies.
I have played some Japanese games and I am also quite impressed with them. Utawarerumono,Wordsworth,Dvine Luv,Kanon,Da Capo, Wind- a Breath of heart and many more of such games are truly a delectable change and are some of the greatest play experiences I had. I barely understood what was going on but it was fun.
I saw the Da Capo OVA and I must say it was truly stunning and great.I also saw the canvas OVA. I really wish I could play the games (and understand them), but I am more likely to die a horrible death than see such things become reality.
I for one shall purchase any game that catches interest. I strongly believe that if we can make it profitable for these existing companies to sell here to the point where their sales will outweigh the Japanese ones it will really get the attention of some of the bigger producers…
But even then after all the blood and sweat and money poured into such an endevour, it will still be a delicate situation. All it takes is one slipup and the the big companies will leave forever.
My next few statements may offend some religious people so if you are offended I extend my sincere apologies. My intention is not to offend, I myself have nothing against any religious group, only certain people who see it fit to control our lives through thoughts opinions and beliefs with no circumstantial evidence to prove anything.
I must express extreme disgust with the church however. They are the ones responsible for the age limits and the sheer taboo of anything with even a modest erotic theme. They DECIDE what people will do and not do and use it as a method to control us.
They preach illogical things about how the thigns we do are unwholesome and immoral. WHO ARE THEY TO DEFY HUMAN NATURE IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY? To deny us these things is to deny humanity it self so they are contradictory.
My philosophy is that if you are old enough to want to see that stuff then why should anyone stop you. You will find a way to do it anyways.
I’ll tell you right now the #1 reason for piracy of these games is because the pirates are underaged and can’t buy it themselves. But they want to see it. They are too ashamed of asking their parents to get it for them. When those people grow up they are gonna start buying these games (if they truly understand how the industry works they will).
Right now an old generation controls the world. When the underaged grow up and get a steady income things wil change for the english industry.
On another note even if the taboos and age limits on sex were gone many people think naked anime women and anything related is sick and uninteresting. Not to mention the fact that many would rather play graphic intensive action shoot em up games over slow deep plotted adventure games where you date anime girls. There is a level of appreciation given by fans (like me) to these bishoujo games that many people just don’t understand.
I don’t want to offend anyone in particular but the american gaming community has a farely short attention span (in my experience) and would rather pull out a sword and start slashing some things instead of clicking through tons of text.
As for me I hope to see more erotic themed games with plenty of romance,love and plot and not just sex. I don’t play these games for the sex. If I want just sex I’ll watch a few hentai movies. For me the sex comes on the side as a bonus benefit.
