It is funny that the proofreader makes a typo! (OK, I am usually care-free when it comes to spelling, but I couldn't resist this one!)

Actually, it's a parody of Mario's "It'sa me, Mario!"

Hahah damn bastard. Well at least flount your new powers by making reviews of the games dammit. I dont’ wanna be the one to always start them Grats on being the proofreader You know, now that I think about it, I don’t think it was a good idea to let it be known your the proofer. Since now we know who to blame when we find errors in the game

#13

Bah! Everybody but me gets the cool jobs

Congratulations!

It's no use crying over spilt milk.

But hey, now that the cat's out of the bag...
How about we now bomb him with questions as we usually do with Lamuness?

After all, up to now, G-Collections just was a faceless group that couldn't be addressed directly. Sure, we could write questions to their official email-adress and if we were lucky, they even replied, but now...

Well, I for starters have plenty of questions.
But first a small suggestion to Vaga42Bond how to deal with them:
Don't answer just on your own, but take these questions to the others and discuss if and how you are going to answer to them!

And now here goes:

  • Is G-Collections still in the phase "evaluation" or has the english market already proven profitable for you?
  • Of course, you can't give away the sales figures, but is it true (as most of us suspect) that the more plot the games have, the worse they sell? So, may we expect even less games with great plots like Kana or Crescendo in the future?
  • Is D.O. still involved? There are at least two games from D.O. that I would at least know if they are in closer consideration to become localized: Kazoku Keikaku and Sumeragi no Mikotachi. If no: No prob because I still can get them in japanese, but I want at least know for sure that there is no chance yet.
  • During last year, there was an unofficial announcement on the G-Collections BBS from G-Collections staff regarding Kuroi Toshokan - Bibliotheque obscure. Now the list of upcoming announcements even contains games from the survey but not this one. So may I assume that this project is canned?
  • Is it likely that we'll see any games with gameplay beyond "choose-your-path-NVL" from G-Collections? G-Collections released now a lot ot games and all of this kind, so I see a kind of specialization here. Of course, I am aware that the japanese bishoujo-market is also dominated by this kind of game, but there are others too!

So, I hope this tought you that taunting us with such information wasn't the best idea. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
Let's see, with which questions the others will come up!

Oh, and congrats to your new two jobs: Not just as a proofreader, but also as a voluntary liasion agent between us and G-Collections staff!

Yeah, but I'm being paid for only one of the jobs. XD

Well, don't forget that Proofer currently ranks about 2 steps above the Office Fax Machine, and just below the Coffee Maker, on the "Chart O' Powah". Also, I'm not the one who gets to pick the next games (Though I will scatter as many hints as I can as to what I want translated. Expect to see a surge of Trabulance if I get my way. (Not likely.)), nor do I deal in sales, purchasing, or other fun stuff. All the info I get is what I pester for, and some things I'm not allowed to talk about outside the office. So come next week, I'll pester away.

NOOO! Not Trabulance!

#18

Am I one of the few that actually likes their games? I think D.O. might have better games, then again the only ones I know of by them are Crescendo and Kana, but I really don’t think Trabulance games are all that bad, I actually liked a majority of them.

They're not bad. They're just not as good as most non-Trabulance GC titles (that aren't dark, I pretend the dark ones do not exist). They're all by and large mostly the same; and while they're okay, for what they are ... when I said "porn is porn, and if the games aren't more than just porn, then they're forgettable and won't last" - basically I'm talking about Trabulance.

I see what you are saying but it is strange, to me anyway I remember more scenes from Tottemo Pheromone and Kanga Shicyauzo 1 and 2 then ones like Snow Drop or Chain. They do tend to have more sex then plot, a lot more, but don’t know, still think they deserve higher rankings then whoever makes DYLHB, which are well not sure, better then the dark games I will say that much about them.
