MangaGamer and Winged Cloud have always seemed like a match made in heaven, with both companies focusing on sexually charged visual novels. No longer, however, as MangaGamer has this morning announced that they have severed ties with the developer.
The recent events regarding Bokuten ~ Why I Became an Angel's removal and then reinstatement to the Steam storefront has probably left you as confused as many of us. Thankfully, MangaGamer is willing to shed some light on this strange saga.
"Just recently I got a chance to sit down with the erotic games developer Winged Cloud. Well, we ended up talking about everything from erotic game development, the Sakura series, censorship to their plans for the future." - Robin Ek, TGG.
Nice interview!
I really liked the answer for dealing with censorship and cancel culture. Developers should focus on how to stay strong and handle the potential emotional harm that can happen if targeted. Good advice in there~
@Simon_the_sorcerer "I sure hope so, because the censorship is already bad as hell when it comes to lewd content..."
- Well, just look at Sony...So it would be a real nightmare for fans of lewd content if other platforms follow down the same path as Sony has on that front.
If this were a game with hunky bearded guys, we'd get comments on how an agenda's being pushed or something along the lines of "Stop shoving this crap in everyone's faces!".
But since it's just anime chicks with big tiddies and 7 year old anime girl faces, it's totally okay. >_>
I played and finished one of the Sakura games on 3DS. Will probably never play another one again. The game is just so one dimensional with it being all about school girls with big breasts. Anime folks obviously like this garbage.
Today publisher MangaGamer provided a string of updates on its current localization projects on its official Twitter account.
