>>2028213 Censored of course. No lewd in this game, only "cute" as per the game director. If you want lewd 3D you can keep playing azur lane (of course, every penny that game makes goes into this one), or gfl2 I guess, since snobble is dead.
>>2028244 Its sad to think about, really. Took like 3 years to come out, only for no one to care about it. Not as bad as endfield I guess. Will this finally kill manjuu?
>>2028265 I didn't mean that quality or fun wise it won't be as bad, but rather that endfield spent more time in development hell and that it probably costed way more than promilia to develop.
>>2028300 >but rather that endfield spent more time in development hell That's literally my point. Endfield was concepted in 2021 and released in 2026. AP started in 2022, was revealed in 2024 and won't release until at least 2027. It's literally the same dev timeline, but manjew is doing worse because HG actually has to self-publish and market the game by themselves. >that it probably costed way more than promilia to develop. manjew has to split the cake with Nexon and Yostar. AP feels way cheaper to make because they cut so many corners, no self-publishing, no KR or EN dubs, no factory computing 24/7, instanced battles etc.
>>2028336 RetardGOD, AP has an economy pipeline going in the background PLUS actual unique units managing stuff instead of default nodes which you have to track and calculate separately, because they have unique traits and separate hunger meter. Enflield system is really primitive, yet it fails to calculate properly if something is off with your supply, collapsing the whole thing. Their code is that bad.
I'm really tired of the gloom & doom being projected by some shitposters here. Some news copied from some other place.
Looks like manjuu changed Azur Promilia's website domain. https://azurpromilia.jimi-global.com/en/ Ive heard that jimi-global is gonna be their singapore based publishing company (for anti censorship purposes and 1000 more other reasons) This is good as the game didn't have a global publisher before. Self-published is the way.
>>2028344 >Enflield system is really primitive, yet it fails to calculate properly if something is off with your supply, collapsing the whole thing. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth arguing with people who don't have a fucking clue how this works. Endfield like any other factorio sim, relies heavily on serial processing. You have machines depending on products from other machines, also production loops where end of chain products can get looped back to the inputs near the beginning (so if there's a clog everything goes down). Then you have mechanics like Pulse Width Modulator dynamically adjusting inputs and outputs. Since this kind of computing is inherently serial, calculating all of this 24/7 while players are offline is incredibly hard for the servers. That's why the devs took a small tradeoff, instead of calculating everything every 2 seconds (the actual tick rate of the factory), the server only updates it like once a minute. So while this cuts the server farm load by 30x, it also means that if you don't design your factory carefully to prevent clogging, things will desync and glitch out, which is why your entire supply chain suddenly collapses.
AP on the other hand, just uses separate units to manage stuff that the server can track individually. That's literally just parallel processing, which is literally child's play for a server farm to handle. It's also a million times easier to code. This was the whole point of the original argument, there is no 24/7 factory computing in AP so it should be a much easier game to make. Then there's the instanced battles where AP is cutting corners which is a whole other can of worms, it's 2027 and an open world game is still using instanced dungeons right in the middle of the open map. LOL. LMAO even.
>>2028415 >This is good as the game didn't have a global publisher before. You heard wrong. We've known Jimi is just Manjuu's shell company for publishing AP outside of CN since literally 2024. Jimi was also supposed to be THE publisher for KR and JP too, until Manjuu caved and gave the publishing rights to Nexon and Yostar. Back then, the AP JP website listed JIMI as the publisher instead of Manjuu's JP branch so they really wanted to self publish there too. Basically nothing has changed for global since then. Don't get your hopes up.
Why do westernbrowns always think that CJK companies will give them any special treatment? If you don't live in CJK, you literally don't matter. You are probably a f2poor in the 7 gachas you play.
>>2028214 I have no issue with some shorts, not all underwear needs to be the smallest panties. But this looks terrible, I do have an issue with all underwear must be shorts. Some girls look fine with shorts like Cathbelle because she's a maid but panties suit some girls best. This is so fucking sad I hope it's not live on global and modding is easy.
>>2030715 >while every other Chinese 3D game gets censored to hell and back. It's self-censorship, Lin literally says in an interview that she wants the game to reach a wider audience with cute characters.
>>2030717 Ah the elusive "wider audience" that doesn't actually exist... There are no real people that quit a game because a character had panties, only fake outrage/virtue signalers on twitter that pretended to be interested in the game. How devs still believe them is a mystery. Gacha games need to be labeled as 18+ in every appstore for having gambling so they can stop with the facade of censorship in order to lower the age rating and capture the toddler audience (which is too busy with Roblox to care).
>>2028201 >last in the thread April 2nd What the fuck is all of this? The first like 15 posts are granny panties. There's no way they did this massive 180 on everything like this in a month and a half.
>>2031731 Don't try to fucking gaslight me, bro. The only reason I started paying attention was because it seemed Manjuu was actually committing to their brand reputation. There's no fucking point otherwise.
>>2030716 >That is AP on that image, not AKE yeah so its a little concerning that AP is winning the dead censored game award with no news about a global release innit? like what are you fuckers doing? you made azur lane how are you fucking up this game so bad?
>>2031783 The fuck are you talking about. There were like 2 characters that had pantsu, most of the rest always had granny panties. A handful had panties but got censored between the first and second CBT
>>2032606 >>2032625 >noooo it was only 2 characte- I mean a handful but it doesn't matter It's not going to work on me. I remember way back when the shitposts of the day were removing the female MC and dooming about it being a never ever because of the lack of any official activity. The positive counter was that Manjuu wouldn't just throw it away and that they knew how to do fanservice.
There was always cope about the shorts plague only being for CN like when that stupid panel at some convention showed new characters and spats on old ones, but that clearly isn't the case. This newest round was so hasty that the fucking textures for some of them don't even look the same as the rest of the model.
>>2030737 >Gacha games need to be labeled as 18+ in every appstore in which country? >>2032809 if you think that is going to stop any gacha from coming to steam you are out of your mind.
>>2033010 my choosing not to call you a retard isn't me self-censoring, it's simply me choosing to make a post that happens to not involve calling you a retard. doing x doesn't mean you're censoring yourself out of every other option from a to w and y z that you didn't do.
>>2032725 Unless you're misinterpreting i'm actually of the same mind. >>2033010 The textures have the area which scream "this is the part where we put some safety measures" so i'm inclined to believe that that is the case. Some might argue about the navel being visible but every 3D gacha seems to have it these days.
This game from one of the most anticipated to Hoyo slop censored shit. It's bad when even "r*ddit" lost all anticipation and they shill for pretty much everything.
>>2035347 >watch it become another snowbreak so what you're saying is after a reality check they'll become the most based gacha on the market without the achilles heel that snowbreak suffered from (being headquartered exclusively in china)? because that would be one of the best outcomes this game could hope for
>>2036256 If oversexualized female is what it takes to cause them to go ballistic then every other game would've suffered the same fate. You clearly haven't seen the bigger picture, everyone knows that they cried for less.
>>2036571 Its like someone course corrected the worst bits and then they just stopped listening to that guy and went back to the business of fucking it up lol
This is fucking disgusting, AP devs are completely braindead. If you're writing a gender-selectable protagonist, the MC's thoughts, personality, and story need to actually be gender-neutral and androgynous. This dialogue is way too feminine and makes it feel like the female MC is the canon choice while the male MC is just an afterthought. It is literally Stella Sora all over again.
>>2042129 >It is literally Stella Sora all over again. ...and that's a good thing. Stella Sora feMC is beloved by everyone while nobody has ever given a shit about the male MC. Coincidentally this is also true about literally every other gacha in existence.
>>2042183 beloved by the niche audience that plays it because no one from the outside looking in is touching an all female game that shills a femc, which is why it’s dying
>>2042129 Wow. I'm still gonna pick the Male MC, but this is going to be hella gay. Why are they making it out like this is unusual anyway? Is the world supposed to be racist against non-humans or something?
>>2044748 Pairing between characters. Lacrimoss(the right girl) is paired with Baichang(a male character in NTE) in not so subtle way. >>2044768 There's a big difference between them though. Yume and Fujou won't play AP. So that's a big difference already.
>>2033411 >Just let me have this singular win. I'm sorry but you can't anon, even the most shilled character in this game doesn't wear actual panties >>2034647
