Apparently Sekai Project is no longer the publisher for Winged Cloud (Sakura games). See this VNDB thread. Also, their statement on Patreon for why they dropped SP:

"We will just release them without sekai. From my personal feeling most of the people at sekai just disagree with our ecchi / hentai games. We where just feeling very awkward working with a company where a lot of people straight out dislike our games. Its really regrettable but they prefere more "serious" storys and many of them just dont like our games."

I think we can replace "more serious storys (sic)" with "actually good stories". :p
Sekai Project did it! Amazing! Need to bust a bottle tonight.

By now most of us should have it from the Alienware giveaways

Let's put it this way... I checked my calendar and I have to be somewhere about 30 minutes after you guys start.
So yeah, I could play 1 game, maybe, and still be on time; so unless you happen to be playing for awhile and are still active when I get home (probably about an 90 minutes after this starts at the latest), it looks like I can't make this one. :\

Uh this doesn't stop Sakura Games from happening at all though. That bottle is pretty worthless.

If more ratbird dating games are coming, there's no reason to stop Sakura games from happening.

Going back to winged cloud though it is a shame they can't put that art work to good use. Say what you will of its style it's better than a lot of other VN games which hit steam.

God save us from the 30fps.

Jesus, if you people think it's so fucking terrible, don't buy it. Simple, ain't it?

I only just now saw this, but you're really twisting my words here.

I am not part of the framerate police, and I don't boycott games that are frame locked. I played Dark Souls on the PS3, and even Blighttown didn't bother me too much. Frankly, I find the idea that 30 fps is unplayable a bit silly, but then everyone has their own priorities. 2-3 fps though, is unplayable for me, to the point where I get headaches, but I digress.

I didn't mention the framerate because it is such a horrible offense for a PC game to not be running at 240 FPS. I mentioned it because I noticed it while playing, and it was a bit distracting. I would have mentioned if the game had really bad aliasing as well, but so far that hasn't been the case. In case you missed it, my comment about the framerate was immediately followed by calling the port "pretty solid". It's not perfect, but it's certainly not going to ruin my enjoyment of the game.

You criticized the game for being 30fps. Not sure how else that's supposed to come across, even if the port is "pretty solid". It definitely didn't come across as some sort of tongue in cheek commentary on the mouthbreathers of the #PCMR running around claiming they only got half a game, etc., either.

It wasn't intentionally directed at you, though, so if you took offense to my comments, I'm sorry; that's wasn't the point of my post. I just had a Bernie Sanders moment where the posts about Zestiria not being 60fps (and people wasting their time trying to unlock it with cheat engine and the like) were Hillary's emails. "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damned framerate."

I'm in the US, do I need a VPN to buy Vermintide from Nuuvem?

Quite possibly.
yes
You know how you can add the game to your cart and then try to checkout?
Well, when you try to check out, it will tell you that the game is not available in your region...
At this point, nuuvem will tell you if the game isn't available in your region; if this happens, you're going to need a VPN to change your region before you can try again.
This may or may not work, depending on if there's a paypal/cc address check for the game during checkout.
Also, it goes without saying, but make sure the game you're buying is redeemable in your region.

I suppose I can see that, and I hadn't really kept up with the thread, so I don't know if it was full of people complaining about the framerate (though I wouldn't be surprised it it was).

Though, I had basically the same reaction to your post. I literally had one minor comment about the framerate (and it wasn't even anything harsh), and you respond as you did. I wasn't really offended, I'm just "sick and tired" of having every minor criticism about performance being twisted into an argument about PCMR and framerate police. I don't really mind if you call out people for PC elitism, and frankly a lot of the times when you do I agree with you. But you need to pick your battles a little better (and that's not just directed at you, but everyone who gets super defensive about criticism of PC ports), otherwise you are just crying wolf.

I think you read too much into his post, surely there must be some middle ground between barely mentioning that a port is locked at 30fps as a negative, and master race dick swinging?
