Top producer of unplayably buggy and endlessly delayed eroge Overflow has announced that “Shiny Days” will be its “final” work and that it is “not going bankrupt or anything like that!” – and, surprise of surprises, its release will be delayed 2 months as well.
As might be expected from Overflow, there is total confusion following their admission on a live Nico broadcast that upcoming title “Shiny Days” will be their last title ever (and that it will be delayed until April):
“They are going bankrupt and Shiny Days will be their last game, they say. Unless it sells really well they have no chance to survive. They say they need to sell 20,000 copies. Buy it guys!”
“Endless delays and now a ‘final’ game?”
“Isn’t this just a marketing scam? This company will say anything for sales.”
“Finally. These fools have been mocking their customers with the buggy trash they put out for years.”
“I saw the announcement, they seem half-hearted about starting a new brand so this is going to be complete dissolution.”
“Their CEO looked pretty gutted.”
“There aren’t 20,000 people who like Kokoro-chan enough to order this, are there?”
“So they are saying they need ¥200,000,000!?”
“If it is a bankruptcy, why are they still able to release it?”
“Their creditors financed it based on projected sales. If it sells OK they can pay them back, but there will be nothing left to run the company.”
“They have been saying this sort of vague and ambiguous stuff on their official Twitter account:
‘This is not a bankruptcy or anything like that. This is our last work. We will continue to provide support for it.’”
“So they aren’t going bankrupt? What the hell is going on?”
“Perhaps they are continuing the company but withdrawing from the eroge market?”
“If they don’t make enough they’ll withdraw, that’s probably it.”
“Don’t they mean they’ll withdraw irrespective of how well it sells?”

God damn Cross Days that was NOTHING but yaoi crossdressing shit was a gigantic "FUCK YOU!" to any fans that they might have still had left over from School Days..
Seriously..
they deserve some credit where it's due, though: loved that Kotonoha got it up the ass in that game. ^^ Sucks that the scene cuts away right as it happens (not that you could see it well with the mosaic anyway), but still, it greatly amuses me that the best girl in School Days has been anally devirginized in OFFICIAL media.
I dunno, it's "nice" but the whole sequence is like MAYBE 5 seconds of showing anything.
Just a shit load of nothing going on, faces, and animation loops, much like the rest of that crappy eroge, heh..
Tsundere company is tsundere
It's not like they need our money or anything.
Overflow is over the line
It's not like I like saying it's not like.
If the company does not reach 20,000 copies quota they might turn yandere....
As long as they don't turn yangire on customers, it's all fine.
This is what they got for releasing Cross Days.
If you know what I mean...
AH!!!! the buttsex, away with thee yaoi!
Cross days was released at last? Man, after so much delays I just frogot that game XD
Yeah I was so excited about it but it's been so long the fire just died. They should realize there's a timing and time limit for some products...
I liked 0verflow before they even started making the "Days" series. Then again, I'm a pregnancy fetishist...
You are not alone.
*pun (not) intended
buggy games comes down to a few things
1st; crappy programmers
2nd; no enough alpha/beta testing ( or any at all )
most likely this.
3rd; crappy directors asking for too much of there programmers.
Vaporware: The Eroge
They are doing this so they won't make the same mistake like what they did with Summer Days. Cut them some slack!
Don't forget School Days HD is getting an official English release!
They're going on a trip with a "nice boat".
Don't you mean taking a seat on the nice train?
I guess they're working on getting all the mosaics straight or thinking of a way around it.
Coming up next a few months after the game's official first launch:
40GB Patch for players to download to fix unexpected glitches.
But well, anything with Setsuna is fine for me :)
Why do those girls look so familliar?
Those eyes - they're so - OMG!....
(faints)
Nice Delay.
Hey, What about School Days HQ (Eng Ver.) it release this year (2012)
with their game import to oversea I don't think they are going to bankrupt
so easily.

Don't worry about it. JAST Densetsu (read: J-List) is releasing the English version. I doubt a "possible" bankruptcy will stop its release.
DUKE NUKEM FOREVER
or so I heard
But I like 0verflow… :-(
Shiny Days is their final game? What's gonna happen to TearMail?!
All for Kokoro :)
I don't understand 0verflow now.... Why is this going to be their last game when they're not going bankrupt?
Is the company changing from a visual novel production to something else? :(
Please 0verflow let this be some silly joke >_<
They are expanding into the ship-making industry.
Nice Boat.
But either way 0verflow will be no more after Shiny Dayss, right? To the fans, that's just as good as them going bankrupt.
They probably change their name and release works under that. Maybe they want to focus on a different genre or something?
i think THQ said the same thing btw.......... now look at it.
Better hope that there's a Taisuke Route on their final game!
Here goes to hoping!
the twist is Shiny Days doesn't have h-scenes
yay
get a life pls
Download link pls.
