What's with everyone saying Lilith has made 4 attempts at a SFW Taimanin game and failed 4 times? There's only AT, GOGO, and RPG if we count that. RPG is successful, GOGO failed for entirely different reasons, and AT during it's first half of a year after launch. It's been doing fine since then. What is the 4th attempt? It's Gremory making these games anyway, not the main h-team.

Sometimes people are bitter about the gacha games' success, but sometimes they're just talking out of their asses, like when anybody ever brings up the "NTR login bonus". I hate how absolutely desperate everybody has become to shit on everything. I blame it in part on this being the YouTube clickbait age, where everything is a HILARIOUS DISASTER in capital letters, with some douchebag facepalming, a giant, glib caption like FLOP, and an arrow pointing at the only thing in the picture. Like, share and subscribe, by the way, because my e-penis is more important than my integrity.

Technically, RPGX Exstasy didn't even "fail" fail. TABA continued for years without much of a userbase, which was why you could actually compete on the leaderboards instead of getting automatic 28 000th place. They could have kept it up and made a steady profit, but after GOGO (which was a total misreading of what attracted people to Taimanin in the first place), the higher-ups seemingly went into cost-cutting mode and got rid of everything that wasn't solidly making bank. It was less a victim of outright failure, even taking the gem debt controversy into account, and more a victim of their "throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks" approach finally biting them in the ass.

Do you think we'll ever see another Kangoku Senkan or is it forever fated to rot in the back of Lilith's catalog with the rest of their non Taimanin properties?

There's technically a chance, but I wouldn't anticipate anything. At the very least, I would expect them to reserve one of their top artists for a game of that importance, but that would mean that artist not having time to do gacha content.

👎.

Anonymous asked:

Does Lilith realize that instead of their last 4 failed SFW projects they could have made 4 more VNs and made a profit? Is their business advisor an orc?

Or, they could make two dozen more cheap ASMR packages and make several times that profit, each. It's just not worth the effort anymore.

This is why I think they should adapt the existing games into RPGX. Take the original scripts, alter the details according to world and continuity differences, add more story, add cameos from the gacha characters, redo the art in the modern style, and sell them in segments for 300 Taima stones each. That way, you can rejig your model so that you're still technically making VNs, but they also count as gacha content, and have enough story to fit comfortably into the SFW version. Then, once you've remade all the originals, you can continue into, say, Taimanin Maika, without having to do all the things that a proper VN requires, like having original background, music and enemy sprite assets. That would fit very comfortably into Lilith's current "profit over effort" business strategy.

Mini-update on the Rentry page.

Almost every year, I swear that this time, I'm absolutely not going to push myself to get some kind of release done in time for Christmas. And almost every year, I turn out to be a lying cunt.

Taimanin Squad has a Twitter account now, what's your opinion?

Hard to have an opinion on the basis of one picture.

Will this replace RPGX?

Probably not. Maybe if it has an adult version.

Anonymous asked:

What are the chances RPGX closes down and they make a new gacha?

New gacha, 100%. But as for RPGX, they already seem to have committed to extending it beyond its natural lifespan. I have to think that, like TABA, it will only get a direct replacement once it's consistently dropped down to 20 or 30 in the rankings.

Anonymous asked:

RPGX had a bug where when selling one of the new units, it gave people something they shouldn't have. They just announced that they will take those back and those who have sold them will have a negative amount until they get the number they sold. Sounds familiar?

I mean, I know it's not the same team as Ecstasy but are those people braindead? It's obvious you should never do that. Your fault for the bug, not the users. And at least one person in that company must know that it was one of the things that made Ecstasy fail, right?

With everything that's happened this year, it's like they want RPGX to fail (which would be nice if that means they get back to making Taimanin vn, but they won't.)

It's bizarre how badly they're handling everything. Now we're not even employing basic pattern recognition.

Anonymous asked:

What are your hopes for RPGX in 2026?

I hope it survives, and that whatever Taimanin Squad is, it isn't a direct replacement. I don't want to go through another TABA-to-RPGX transition, losing all the scene and character plot threads, such as they are.

What can they do to fix the mishaps that they've done?

They could start by never going a single event without at least one popular character getting a unit. Enough of the literally whos. Enough of trying desperately to stumble upon the next big thing. When you're rebuilding a reputation after a trainwreck, go into total fan pleasing mode.

is the taimanin franchise getting enshittified

Yes. It's been on a decline ever since they did Idol Taimanin and Gogo. Now it's directionless, with banner after banner of nobodies, and major personnel leaving the company. Not to mention the two or three months that were one disaster after another, what with RPGX's upgrade breaking everything constantly (in the middle of a collaboration event, no less), speculation about them using AI (which is clearly at least partially true), the apology unit itself becoming controversial when they added a second scene that the artist had no knowledge of, etc. There's no reason why the series couldn't just coast on what they've been doing for a while longer, except that they keep shooting themselves in the foot.

I've been practising nip for a year. Now, when I watch a japanese video with jap subtitles I think I can kind of make out what they're trying to say. Am I actually learning the language or did my schizophrenia finally bloom?

That's pretty much in line with what I experienced. Careful, or at this rate you're going to turn into me. And then we both know what I'll have to do.

My boss gave me a singing card for my 15th anniversary. It "sings" Surfin' USA. How do I interpret this?

Am I being threatened? Only knives and ultraviolence will make those damn cards shut up. Or is a roundabout way to tell me to go threaten surfers instead?

It's a threat isn't it.

I knew it.

Siri, please Google "how to smuggle cash on plane."

Nah, if they wanted to threaten you with song-induced brain damage, it would be playing "Call Me Maybe".
