ValiDate - an upcoming (and unsurprisingly racist) visual novel made by SJW's, for SJW's. Currently MIA.

Outside of Christine Love - whose last 2 games were a BDSM lesbian smut game and a game about hating white men ( back in 2012, before it was cool) - is there ANY non-Japanese Visual Novel that has actually made any reasonable money?

I don’t count Huniepop, because that was closer to hentai Puzzle Quest. Did that gay dads game make any $?

Basically, what I’m getting at is; Love only made decent $ on her smut game, and even that was her 4th, and 2 of them were free and not terrible. So diving into one with no word of mouth and no final product seems DOA.

Long Live the Queen sold pretty well, I think.

im not exactly sure, but Dream Daddy(“that gay dads game”) was popular with youtubers and letsplayers at some point so I think it probably sold well. I mean it’s definitely one of the better VNs anyways, in terms of lgbt and western dating sims.

I have an question, I was going through the character profiles and I'm wondering exactly what is France's relationship with South Korea? I know that they had a stake or two in the colonization game, but I think that's an very weird heritage since the frogs were nowhere near Korea...Except for that time in the 1860s when they sent 300 Naval Fusiliers in retaliation for the deaths of a few French priests.

Dear sweet Jesus, please protect me from running into anything that looks like Isabelle in real life. Amen. 🙌

What the ever loving fuck are those patches on her arm and face? Revitiligo?

Ashlie is less detailed than a lot of the other sprites. She looks so flat. She and Isabelle look like they are from two different games.

I don't know anything about this game but it seems the creators read the thread.

i can only imagine how they feel after seeing this thread and looking deeper into the kiwi farms
"Person we hired because of diversity, Other person we hired because of diversity, It is just as I feared, our work has unleashed a forum site related to people who act differently in society known as the Kiwi Farms, We must find a way to stop them before they destroy our project's reputation and we lose all our money with it." - probably whoever in the VailDate team who does the research and lurking on Kiwi Farms.

Looking into this further for the rest of you since it's unfolding now on Twitter. Unable to grab the screenshots right now but I did grab archives of tweets.

Seems they're trying to cover their asses and claim the project was never originally meant to be paid. (Archive Link)
The NOHUA person refutes that with evidence from February that their statement is untrue. (Archive Link)

It seems artists were brought on board under the pretence that they would be paid quite a bit of money for their participation. Due to crowdfunding going poorly they went back on their statements, unsure if they'd be able to pay artists or not.

Edit: the name being blocked out in the tweet is Twitter user Laionders who is Dani person making the tweets on the Validate twitter.
