I'm sure it is just a measure of surprise that some English speaking shlubs would come up with something that the society that brought us tentacle sex hadn't thought of. :lol:

The thing is that tentacle-rape society, or at least one of its members, was who actually thought of the concept.
Isn't it sad, gaijin-kun?

See, you know he hasn't played the game. Hanako's not deaf.

No idea.

Also, we seem to be getting some Japanese Anonymishas on the Shimmie...

I'm still intrigued to see where this is going. I think a lot of Japanese people are just gonna dismiss it without trying because it's made by BAKA GAIJIN. :P

But then again, we do already seem to have a few Japanese fans. Which is positive. Unfortunately, it might be difficult to communicate with them. On a fan-to-fan level, I mean; their feedback will (hopefully) be sure to reach the dev team.

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I think a decent percentage of the Japanese reactions are going to end up falling under the "Baka Gaijin" category. I'm not sure if that's because they internally scorn us for trying to imitate them, or if they're just ignorant of the quality of the game, or what, but that seems to be a fairly standard reaction of theirs with stuff like this. I've got to wonder how many of the people spouting those kind of reactions actually bothered to play the game though.

On another note though, I'm pleasantly surprised by the generally positive reactions from the rest of the Japanese community.

Then, is Lilly God?

It's because that's just how the Japanese are. Very insular, there's a lot of xenophobia. Sad But True™

But yeah, the people who are giving it a chance seem to actually be having a positive reaction. I like that. I feel a sense of pride even though I had nothing to do with it being made.

I wouldn't blame it all on Japanese society being insular. There were more than plenty of English speakers who were willing to vilify KS simply through 2nd, 3rd or 4th hand descriptions and didn't even bother to look at the website or download it; let alone playing the game. It'd be more accurate to point at human nature to be lazy and make assumptions. I'm sure there are plenty of folks in Japan who are like that too, but it's a world wide attribute.

To look for the silver lining; when Act 1 was first released some folks came to check it out because of the trashing some people gave it.
