You may remember Sakura Spirit from the other day when Matt published an article about his first hour reading the novel. Put simply, Matt's impressions were that it was a very poor release. But what do others think of it? Others think it was poor enough of a release that Sekai Project is putting a QA system in place.
"Sakura Spirit, the short adult-oriented visual novel from Winged Cloud, was the game to signal the coming of what some may call the Steam Pornocalypse. For this game and its shiny assets caused a stir about just how or why visual novels were selling on Steam. And with the short game starting a whole series of similar titles, you have to wonder what it’s all about." - Rice Digital
Marcus Estrada writes: "Sekai Project has taken the extremely unique stance of regularly crowdfunding for titles. If you know about visual novel localization then you’re aware it is a very expensive process. You’ve got to not only translate, but carefully localize every game to make sure the writing is top notch. Of course then there’s the hefty fees of paying for famous voice actor performances where required. With that said, so far it looks like Sekai Project is the only visual novel publisher sourcing their fees through Kickstarter."
Pedro writes "Sakura Spirit is a very short Visual Novel with a fantasy-like feudal Japan setting. The plot centers around Takahiro, a normal teen from modern-Japan who is magically cast into a world that contains cute kemonomimi girls"
