Victory Belles So, this is a real thing now, I guess?

OK, they managed to make the KS work. But, from the absolute madmen here who play Kantai, or even better, wargames, what would they need to do to be to make it good? I'm talking about mechanics here. Gameplay. It seems like they did some research on the ships I wonder if it's correct., so, they have quite a bit of information about the speed, weapons, history and other stuff. How could it be a good strategic naval battle game, besides the waifu bait?

what the fuck am I looking at?

This? kickstarter.com/projects/blackchickenstudios/victory-belles

Yup.

Wait.
Ship girls?
That sounds mega gay, but I guess it could be fun.

It looks like they want to make it an RPG or something.

See Japan, this is the shit that happens when you keep ignoring the thirsty as fuck western otakus.

Bootleg anime. In this case, bootleg Kancolle.

Like fuck, it's not a dating sim or anything like that, they straight up say it's a


They couldn't be more fucking Kancolle if they tried.

Some Info about one of the ships. And the voice acting.

I really hope the fuckers manage to delivery a good strategic game with the waifu bait. I mean, it's possible to have both good looking and good game, look at games like Senran Kagura, or Atelier… So, maybe?

user pls

Fuck the allies.

Dude, there is an Italian and a freaking Third Reich ship over there, Swastika and all.

Also why the fuck are all the girls smoking? Is chain-smoking waifus a thing now? The mouth of heavy smokers is fucking nasty when you're kissing them.

Love Live had shit like that to. Adding 10 seconds of pick a choice or worse, kinect novels to 10 hours of card grinding doesn't really make a dating sim, but we'll see if that happens.

...

I don't know how to feel about this.

Well, no dark skin for European or Asian ships, and no shame to show the Nazis. I would say they are doing a good work.
For now.

Now, can you say that in Russian? German? Japanese?

dropped

You guys seriously need to learn how to read whole phrases. I said no dark skin for Asian and European!
But, seems like India will be on it too.

Do the english ones just seem so much worse because I'm familiar with english? The french and italian ones sound good.

Probably they didn't hire English VA. But really, why so many people do this? They get American actors for english roles. I'm form Brazil and even I can listen that something is not right.

DESIGNATED

I… don't get it.

at least the art looks good.

It's fucking shit that only the most degenerate of most pathetic of most retarded, mongoloid, cancerous fucktards could enjoy

I wonder if the english navy build warships on India. That would explain the lady with the huge machine gun.

So is this literally just knock-off Kancolle?

It's pretty common for battleships to smoke, user.

Well, some people said Fatal Fury was just a knockoff of Street Fighter back in the day. Right know we have little to no information about the gameplay. Could be a directly knock-off, or might be quite different.
But people will still be able to head pat warships. Probably.

...

Please kill yourself

Why the fuck is there so much gay porn of that boat girl?

Good point. And I think smoking was pretty common with people serving on those ships at the 40's.

Please shill harder

also no, smoking was not common, unless your navy wanted the ship to go up in flames from an accidental spark igniting something flammable.

From my experience at Comiket, around 90% of cosplayers doing a skank character cosplay is in fact a ultra high quality trap.

...

Those are not their combat poses. From the video it seems like they have different drawings for combat and for talking.

Better be careful in those places user. Who knows what lurks under those shirts…

...

user from you not knowing a common chan meme, as seen here and your obviously off hand knowledge of everything about the aspect of this game it's clear you're involved with this somehow and only came here to shill your kickstarter.

Whatever it's all shit anyway.

Well it's not creative. But it is a cute

How is that gay?

How cute, you are looking at all my posts. You make me blush.

But, there is something I asked and no one talked yet. What would make a good strategic games with only naval battles from the 40s?

No, it isn't. Generic character design isn't cute.


Penis

How the fuck else are you going anthropomorphize a boat?

I wished a game would go the whole Arpeggio route of making the actual fucking ship but putting a digital ghost girl controlling the whole ship.

Oh look a common shill tactic: ignoring points made


Either do it discretely (have hints in clothes and character behavior) or go full retard (actual anthro ships).

Or one could just bypass anthro boats entirely and just put in the actual damn boats and quit pandering to autism.

This also works too.

That is not nearly as fun. The point is that the single character has their own personality (typically based off the whole crew or the ship's performance in battle) and so on while the one commanding them is you (admiral), not a ghost.

It's interesting you said that, because it it's kind of what they want to do with the enemies.
This Arpeggio anime, it did had a cross promotion with World of Warships. But, mostly it made the ships go all neon from what I remember.

But it would make the game a bit more interesting in some ways. But, at the same time, wouldn't you need a crew, even if small? It surely would be harder on the story side.

Arpeggio's ship are basically a bunch of supercomputer with a human ghost interface controlling the entirety of the ship which is basically a semi alien construct with retarded level of Sci-fi gear crammed into the frame of an old WWII ship.

The main crew got the one based on the I-401 and befriended the AI, they serve as decision making, sensor data interpretation, bit of engineering and choosing the targets, she does everything else.

There is plenty of Deus Ex Machina, right?

If you mean technological based asspull there's a major one which mostly exist to give the main characters the equivalent of Wave Motion Gun because the author have a massive hard-on for
Yamato. There's also a whole slightly shonen bit about defeated rivals suddenly becoming kinder and befriending humans which is both not an asspull and an asspull at the same time considering they're supposed to be fucking programs.

Other than that the manga's story is heavily tied to a bunch of big mysteries regarding what's actually happening, including several indications that the MC knows far more than he's letting on, if the mangaka drop the ball then a lot of what already happen will become pure BS, but as long as the manga isn't finished it's hard to say.

If you meant actual goddesses coming from a machine it does have some top tier waifu.

I will read it later. But, I wonder what would make a machine get feelings in favor of humans. I never really understood this trope.

Enemies now.
But, the description they give about the enemies in a bit interesting: The enemy ladies are also part of ships and get prisoners?
So, if what I read is correctly, the ship ladies here are kind of manifestations of the ships, but not "exactly" ships. I'm a bit confused.

These boats run on oil right? So, the chances of accidents came mostly in the cabins or the ammunition. But, ammunition would not explode that easily? Well, I have no knowledge about warships, so, this is new to me.

4a3b78, are you a backer or employee of the company?

They seemed SJW-ish in that they affiliate with the likes of Hanakogames (they're the same makers of Sheherazade) and have an "inclusive" employment policy.

But the fact that they went full weeb with this last project, complete with Le Nazi boats, and possibly shilling on Le Evil 8-chan, makes me actually put more trust in them.

Usually westerners who try to make clones of Japanese games crash and burn if they don't put their own unique take on them. They seem to be getting this right so far.

In universe explanation is that machine are creatively sterile, human imagination allows for the kind of lateral thinking and long term strategy that they are completely incapable of, the greater plot of the manga is that the machines came from SOMEWHERE and utterly wrecked everybody, saying that humans are now forbidden from going in the sea or in the air. The big mother AI realize that without the machine gigantic firepower advantage they would loose the fight, so she made some ship more "human" and encourage them to meddle and try to develop emotions so they too can pull complex and original strategies rather than relying on basic by the book stuff.

And since Japan this ends up with the Takao heavy cruiser being tsundere for a captain.


Probably as confused as the guys doing the kikestarter, they mostly seem to want to corner the market on shipgirls without a clear plan on what to do. Hopefully for the pigeons who put money into this they get their shit together before they start to run out of money. At least they seem to have a solid guy for the art.

That looks dumb as shit, not to mention her face and haircut makes her look like a Catherine sans ponytails.

It seems like there is a fog from where the enemies came form in the game. It's also present in the manga, right? Probably they based on that.

All that matters are the waifus. Kancolle didn't get popular due to its shitty web browser gameplay.

Probably won't, At best I expect it to be like WotHT with ships and better art but korean MMO tier grinding and/or P2W bullshit.

I hate and love those gook bastards so much at the same time.

your wifeubait game looks like shit
go away

...

Whattsa matter user, no battle ship?
Maybe I can be your battle ship tonight.

It's sad but I think you are right. I do think people could make a good game with waifu bait, but there is no reason to believe this will be the one.

I didn't saw your post earlier. I'm a backer. I'm stupid for backing anything, but I wanted to give it a try.
I don't know much about Hanakogames, but I think it's too early to say good or bad things about the company. We will see.
But about westerns not making good Japanese games. I think you are right, but doing something in the same genre might result in good works.

Superior anthropomorphised military equipment games coming through.

Don't know why anyone would play this. Even Warship Girls, aka Chinkcolle, is better and will most likely be in english before this game is even out since they were hiring translators some time ago

Fuck off you shill.

Point is that women that smoke aren't attractive, hence why the Nips don't do it in Kancolle.

Seems like the KS is over. And there is a new one from USSR.
I wonder who is the artist.

I'm a weeaboo and this is garbage doomed to fail.

I think they might want to grab a bit of the market here, and in the east too.
Could work.

Why would anyone in their right mind in asia play this shit when they've got a million better alternatives? Even in the west we've already got shit that looks better not to mention what we'll have by the time this shit'll be out since the release is sometime in 2017 and when you put that in kickstarter years it's closer to 2018 I bet.

What the fuck are you smoking. I get that you backed this pile of garbage and want to shill for it but at least try to be reasonable.

Simple, it can. After some of the things that happened in gaming in the recent years, say something like what you said is really retarded, but only time will tell.

Run that by me again please. I can't understand what you're on about.

>Kantai collection made HOW MUCH DOSH?!
and it's a kickstarter to boot, atrocious

We had western games, using KS, heavily inspired by Japanese games doing very well.

And we also had cases were the public reception was bigger than anyone expected for certain games.
Maybe it will be trash and will be discarded in the gigantic pile of shitware on cellphones. But who knows, maybe not. This shit might work. It's a small studio trying something no one is trying in the west at the moment. I really like when people try stuff more, even if it's just another waifu trap as KanColle.

...

I'm really asleep at the moment, so, no more writing for the next hours…

Yes, you should go to bed Pajeet.

I see where the problem is.
