I can't say anymore when exactly I started the game, but it was before 2014.
No idea. We'll see about it when I continue the events in Dorgania. ^^
I don't remember exctaly how we came to it, but someone from the first page I posted the game at gave me a lot of feedback and later sprites for sex scenes. So before I used CGs the scenes were done with some sprites. But they were not free to use in "commercial" games and I'm lacking a sprite artist, so don't bother asking about more of that. XD
Might depend on what kind of game he made. I don't think I have any problems with animations, apart from the very first one always lagging as the game loads all animations in that moment for whatever reason. But to me the animation editor is worse in MV than in VX Ace. It's just not a big deal to me as I don't use a lot of custom made animations.
You can decide yourself how itch pays you. Either all earnings get directly send to a bank account or the money is gathered by itch and you can have them send it to you at any point.
I always give my artists as much information as I can, usually involving a reference image for the pose of the scene that I search for on the internet beforehand and as much of my character as I can to show what she looks like.
Currently I don't focus on any particular games. I have a wild mix of games I play that constantly change recently.
Kamidori Alchemy Meister (神採りアルケミーマイスター) has a complete fan translation made by Tenka Seiha. Not sure if any other Eushully games have been translated by now but that one is definitely (inofficially) available in english.
No need to get worked up so much, of course I know that there are eroges in english. XD I just tried to explain that the varying and nice gameplay in eushully games made them more interesting to play even in japanese, while visual novels would be too much work for me.
Eushully is also the company that got me into eroges due to that reason. I didn't play them before a journey to japan where I bought a used copy of "Mine Fukaki Se ni Tayutau Uta". I couldn't understand much of the story but because the gameplay and CGs were very nice I bought some more games and got into the genre.
