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~
Thanks you =) Yes, I can only agree with you. So let's hope that more game devs and publishers will do the same in the future.
I sure hope so, because the censorship is already bad as hell when it comes to lewd content...
I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the interview ;) More is in the making!
I forgot to ask, is there any dev or publisher that you (or anyone else for that matter) would like me/us to interview?
@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. >_>
There's already games like that on the market. So I don't get your point. Furthermore, don't like it? Don't watch, read or play the said games.
What are you talking about? There are already tons of games with muscular god men and I haven't seen anybody react the way you describe.
I know right? So I take it that the said person have no idea (whatsoever) what he or she is talking about...
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.
You must be thinking of "Senran Kagura"? Because I don't recall Winged Cloud releasing any of their games for the 3DS? And you picked up the game based on what notion actually? This is like I would pick up "Doom Eternal" and start whining about violence and metal music.
The game gives the fans what it wants, but if you're not into that, then it's not for you.
Ah yeah that was it. Senran Kagura Burst. I was craving a hack n slash at the time and there was controversy maybe at the time about it being released on a nintendo console so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Yeah anime style aint for me. Nor the whole over endowment features of teenagers. I get that it has its place in the market but theres nothing wrong with being critical of these games for their creepy purvy anime element.
On N4G there is this weird stigma where people think criticism equals censorship when the two are not the same.
Today publisher MangaGamer provided a string of updates on its current localization projects on its official Twitter account.
