    What will be the next Nutaku game, with Kamihime-level popularity?

    I know, that might sound dumb, but there are quite big time periods between release in Japan and widespread release in English.

    Is there any game that you think may repeat Kamihime success and isn't avaiable in English?

    I don't really bother to touch untranslated games but I can say it's hard to tell as several games DMM have on their top rank list, Nutaku has or 'had'. Emphasis on had. Several games didn't do well with the nutaku community and were discontinued despite doing well in Japan. Idol War Z for example, as of posting this, is their #3 which barely lasted on Nutaku. Though Kamihime is still the highest ranked adult game on there, so it's unlikely anything will beat it unless some new contender comes out of nowhere like say an adult version of Fate Grand Order or clone game of it like Kamihime is of Granblue Fantasy, which there probably is already I dunno.

    At least Kamihime only censored by modifying some text to what is actually said and not any actual visual censorship like past games have gotten like busting up flat girls.

    Granblue Fantasy would never be on Nutaku. It's not even a hentai game to begin with.

    But yes, censorship is a big issue with the west. The boat game is Kancolle and another game, Girl's Frontline recently just came out, both having a system where the girls clothing tears and rips as they take damage, showing off some skin. Despite it never going to the point of full nude, Girls Frontline has already showed off censored character art.

    Long story short, none. Aigis, FKG and Kamihime have been DMM's most successful R18 games for a good while, with no long-term competition in sight, and Nutaku essentially ruined two out of three (Kamihime, I suspect, only survives because the original DMM team keeps a tight rein over Nutaku). They can't switch to a new top-tier game to generate interest, because they ran out of these.

    There is still some potential: Games like Otogi Frontier, Sora no Kanata no Dystopia, Idol Wars and Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena are consistent R18 rankers as well, recent and upcoming titles like Jewel Princess, Unitia and Girls' Symphony: Encore may make a lasting impact, and there are also high-ranking worksafe games like Kanpani Girls (another Nutaku victim), Shiro Project, Touken Ranbu and of course the elephant in the room (Kancolle). But with the lack of major DMM localization announcements during the past few months, it seems to me that even DMM teams are aware of Nutaku's incompetence and wary of handing their games over.

    DMM also recently started adding foreign language support to their games, so the best course of action is probably to let Nutaku die so that DMM can take over as a platform. The Taiwanese version of FKG, for example, recently moved to DMM after its foreign developers announced service closure, and it seems to be pretty well-managed now.

    If you guys actually go ahead and kill off Nutaku's FKG, there's a good chance that it'll move to DMM, and you'll get to experience the trademark FKG dev generosity in English (if you think that EN FKG is in any way good, consider that DMM players get something like 400 flower gems in a good month, with ~1500 stones available to free players during the last six months).

    @OP

    I don't think we are going to see any more DMM games on Nutaku unless the developers themselves decide to take a chance.

    The trend seems to be more about western or primarily English speaking developers/companies releasing on this platform.

    Sad truth is, there is not enough money being pumped into the western adult gaming market to make eastern developers/companies happy. There is also the problem with overly religious prudes in power, that have the capital to create (expensive) problems for the said developers/companies. Just take a look at what is going on over at Valve....

    We may get more DMM games to localize when mindsets change and the market for these kind of games improve. I feel that the market has generally improved since companies like Nutaku have established a presence, along with peoples feedback and criticism of censorship.

    We still have quite a few people and groups screaming for censorship, but I feel it's just a matter of time before enough people stand up and put their foot down to this kind of oppression. Similar to what violent games when though a few years back.
