Breja: But no one can tell me that Da Capo game is anything other than creepy schoolgirl porn. It's blatant and at least a little disturbing.
No worries there, mate, nobody was going to tell you anything anyway. You are clearly not a part of the target audience of this type of games, you don't like them and would never buy them - therefore your opinion of them is quite irrelevant to those who like them, will buy and appreciate them. Direct your rage energy towards something worthwhile, please.

Lucumo: Seems kinda weird to start with Da Capo III and not the earlier games.
Da capo 3 is a whole new story of it's own. same with da capo 2. but the first of the series has multiple expansion side stories.

I do find it really odd why they did not include the rest of the pc releases but at least now we know that they have to bring the others here to complement the third game. if not then that is a dick move by Manga gamer and GOG.

Next I hope we get the Ef Tales series which is one of the best VN's ever made.

Sjuan: I have a problem with The Falconers: Moonlight: when I enter the game page, it does not appear with a discount. I do not know if it is an error or they decided to take away the discount.
It's not the only one either. But the correct price shows up at checkout. Last weekend there were games that didn't show the discount on the promo page at first, yet did on the game pages. This time, it's the other way around.

Well, they are loosely tied together by the place and 1 and 2 somewhat by the characters. (That aside, I always play games in chronological (release) order, even if they aren't related at all, like the Final Fantasy series.)

Hehe, absolutely. They are committed now.

I prefer VNs with gameplay elements, like the Rance series, myself. I only buy the physical versions though...because if it's available and DRM-free, why would I not buy it? While the West has dumped us physical media lovers, at least Japan still respects us. So my money goes there.

Maybe they're trying out the water? And if everything goes fine, they'll bring older ones to bear for the old fans and new people alike?
Maybe.

I can't help but notice that all the VNs on GOG currently seem to be the type aimed at a male audience. I'd love to see some otome games on here. (Would also love to see more gender-neutral non-fanservicey type mystery/horror/SF VNs as well.)

We need some shotacon VNs to make a change from all the loli

Ah, Rance series. I would love to see this come here someday. I forgot how many they did now but man it is hard to find English translated official releases. maybe just maybe mangagamer or denpasoft will get it.

Another generalization. There are plenty of women that likes games of this type as well.

Why not?
If thers a demand for it i dont see any reason to not allow Shotacon VN,s.
Its not my taste but i see no reason of denying those that enjoy shotacon art to get it.

Hm? What about the Higurashi and Umineko stuff? Fata morgana no Yakata? What about Hatoful Boyfriend? Even the new releases are 50/50.

A lot, especially if you count the originals as well. Too bad they are finished with the series (excluding possible remakes).

*raises hand*
To be fair though, I'll read anything as long as it has a good story, does something special/unique, or has charm to it. I know I'm not in the majority of female readers... but there are others out there, in other communities, who also consume male-targeted VNs with as much gusto.

That said, I want to see more female-targeted and LGBT+ themed VNs. There are quite a few already out on other storefronts, and more coming in Mangagamer's pipeline (like Steam Prison and Sona-Nyl), so hopefully they'll make their way over eventually.

I did a double-take when I saw that Mhakna Gramura and Fairy Bell's soundtrack was twice the price of the game itself.

MangaGamer does have Rance VI + 5D available on their shop, I'd link it but I think it may be considered a forum offense. >:3 I don't think it's possible to create a censored enough version for them to sell on GOG.

Huh, I thought GOG released plenty of yuri stuff here. I thought that's generally kinda.. targeting females? I guess?

I sure didn't quite feel like I was in the target audience for Highway Blossoms.

They don't seem to have 1 to the recent, is this like a collection of all the past games? but good to know at least one is around.

I agree that there shoud be more varied and not only targeted at only spessific groups that likes one thing or another.
I avoid using male targeted because many women find male targeted games atractive for various reasons.
And vica versa.
Just notice how many males likes to play as a woman in many online games its not just because of the sexual atraction.
Ragnarok online come to mind, Many Males liked to play the female characters becuse they found them cute to make an example. The reason that so few of LGBT+ themed VNs. makes it to the west is probably due to gamer demograpics and a cultural thing. Japan has more games and stuff targeted only at females if you go after the old ideas of what gender likes what.
