六月捐赠活动。
大家好！我们正在举办六月捐赠活动，时间为2026年6月1日至2026年6月30日。
每捐赠（总计）2000日元，我也将额外捐赠500日元（在我自己捐赠的2000日元之上）。
捐赠请尽量使用日元支付【Amazon.co.jp、Eneba或PlayAsia有日元礼品卡】。
优先接受日区任天堂礼品卡，以便数字购买游戏。
为什么？
今年是Switch和乙女游戏最忙碌的一年，更多游戏将在Otomate祭典发布会上公布（预计会有其他移植作品的日期，以及去年公布的一些项目）。
由于夏季档期非常紧张，我希望确保我们能从六月到九月每款游戏都在发售日当天入手。
以我们目前的捐赠节奏，七月的游戏在资金上可能会比较吃力。
你将获得：
我的钦佩
一个炫酷的红色新角色身份，表明你参与了这次活动（在Discord服务器中）。
可自选一款2026年或2027年初（截止日期为4月31日）的、在90天窗口期之外的游戏。 -
6月の寄付ドライブ。
皆さん、こんにちは！2026年6月1日から6月30日まで、6月の寄付ドライブを開催します。
（合計で）2000円が寄付されるごとに、私も追加で500円を寄付します（私自身の2000円の寄付に加えて）。
寄付は可能であれば日本円でお願いします【Amazon.co.jp、コンビニ には日本円のギフトカードがあります】。
日本円のニンテンドーギフトカードが優先です。デジタルでゲームを購入できるようにするためです。
なぜか？
今年はSwitchと乙女ゲームにとって最も忙しい年で、オトメイトフェスティバルの発表でさらに多くのゲームが発表される予定です（昨年発表されたいくつかの作品や、他の移植版の日程が期待されています）。
夏のシーズンは非常に忙しいため、6月から9月までの発売日に各ゲームを確実に確保できるようにしたいと考えています。
現在の寄付のペースでは、7月発売のタイトルは資金調達が難しい可能性があります。
あたが得られるもの：
私の称賛
このイベントに参加したことを示す、赤色のクールな新しいロール（Discordサーバー内）。
2026年または2027年初頭（締切：4月31日）の作品の中から、90日の期間外のゲームを1本選ぶことができます。

Hello everyone, near the end of August already! wow the year has gone fast! We have a small few updates here, things are getting a little slower.
Projects being funded:
Total estimated is around 41,470円 to fund the rest of the 2026 releases. However more titles may be announced. We are also looking to get OOE switch port this year with help of the BL community.
Funded Projects
We will need a push for the Q4 releases and are currently deciding if in 2027 we should still continue funding ENGLISH release due to the frequency these are uploaded on popular rip websites quickly.
The main reason for this change is simply cost and efficiency of the group. The second is targeted hostility received from outside of the community and its effects on my mental well being.
Going forward it is likely ENGLISH LANGUAGE GAMES will be funded at a limited capacity in 2027 onwards. We may only fund projects after a certain length of time has passed or if funds are received in support to get them. However this will be entirely up to the community and the group's vote (as we are a democracy). Please be aware this may mean that game patches, updates and fixes by the otome-switch co buy group may come slower or be limited to the group only. However, all Japanese releases will remain unaffected.
Please be aware due to my geographical location I do not order US/ENG games physically, as it would take several weeks to receive them.

If that's okay, I have a couple of questions about the model used in the otome section, since it seems to be the only one and it confuses me a bit. If someone could clarify these doubts for me, I'd feel more reassured about what the goal is:
1. Why stop funding English versions? because they're being uploaded to piracy sites? I don't quite understand why since this has always happened. The important thing would be to maintain a safe space for those who share them, right? Of course, this includes crowdfunding members so that the links they share are respected. They'll decide what they want to share, and if it's not possible for them, others will upload it using their own methods.
2. Has an explanation been given for the new waiting periods? Is it to filter by roles and grant benefits? Because it doesn't guarantee that link leaks will be prevented, right? (and I'm not trying to point fingers. I'm just sharing my opinion that the new model might make people more impatient and indirectly encourage the very thing it's trying to prevent, I think). I've noticed that someone tried to share a game on their own awaiting for release through crowdfunding, and the post was deleted for no reason. I understand that there are priorities, but this makes it feel like others are being held back, when at the end of the day, the goal is to be a supportive community. This is another problem with the wait times I found.
3. Is the purpose of the roles themselves to restrict the section? I see that they have their benefits, but the truth is that with wait, the basic and intermediate don't seem to make much of a difference. Plus, the wait will only encourage members to find their own ways to get the games or to get impatient when the countdown ends.
Sorry if this is long or sounds off! It's just that I get the impression the new model is more focused on restrictions that end up affecting its own members, so I wanted to know what others thought to see if I'm the only one ;;

Hi there.
The roles thing for releases of content was just mostly up to group decision where members who have contributed more to the website could earn the game earlier than those who simply only come to download.
If others have to go else where to get the game, that's fine. But as it is, we are barely able to fund US releases in advance. And the prior model of "release it day 1" had many many instances of games not being able to be funded in time. We want to have games ready day 1, but if no one is incentivised to donate then it won't happen.
The wait time allows me to also ensure I can make plenty of backups, across several hard drives and gather additional materials like tokuten content, mini books, dramas etc and get those translated if needed for release.
US funding isn't stopping yet but is in consideration. Ive been the target of a lot of online harassment and slandering, and it's taking a strain. It also financially doesn't make much sense when the 2 week period we voted on as a group seems to be too long, and US games tend to get uploaded very quickly within those 2 weeks to other websites whom have much more crowd funding. We are a very small community, we don't have unlimited resources.
We already reduced the wait times once already. Only the lowest rank has the longest wait time. Every other rank should have a shorter one.
Roles themselves were designed to protect users. As there are several users who are the largest uploaders, they were often finding themselves having to constantly reupload content to the point it could cause exhaustion and cause them to stop uploading all together. Role ranked locks allow them to gradually release their works or owned content.
Edit: as for wait times I did start with 3 roles wait but at the end of my pregnancy time is limited so I have had to reduce it down to 2 for releases due to being uncomfortable. It will likely go back to 3 once things stabilize on my side.
Tldr:
Ranks created for DMCA protection and to prevent bots from scraping the website.
The wait period is what the group voted on. We want people to actually buy the game and support these companies and that has always been our stance.
US Funding is very difficult as we get very few donations for these games and they end up being leaked or purchased by larger websites.
Edit: I also want to mention that this group exists with the oversight of the server admin (check) and we are very transparent about what the group is doing to prevent rule violations.

Thanks for replying! It's true that cofunding members have the right to decide, but as for wanting the game to be ready from day one I feel that it's actually is possible, since with monthly updates, the goal is reached before the game's release (at least for the most popular ones or so it seems to me). I respect that those who contribute the most get access first, but it leaves me with a question: so, for example, if I'm an intermediate level user and want to post about my own purchase of the game, I can make a post to share it? (I'd feel like I'm being restricted otherwise, since we all have the right to post.) If necessary, I could wait a little! But waiting two weeks for everyone to have access isn't any different from looking for it on other sites, as you say, so the sense of a community would be lost a bit.
I'm sorry you've been the target of attacks btw that's excessive.

You are allowed to post your own funded game If you obtained and ripped them earlier. thats fine. There has never been a restriction on this. there have been some instances with Otome-dream where they have accused us of (rightfully) reposting limited member works or contributions.
We have no bars on holding members from uploading their own copies if it is before the group, this has happened before with prince of tennis. :) And there were no issues.
If there are updates it means we can reliably upload patches even if the original uploader vanishes or if the original files are deleted.
EDIT: We only ask that if there is already a thread created, please use that thread to prevent thread duplicate spam. It makes the site easier to navigate and categorize for the directories as these are all manually done.
For me US games are also an issue as I do have to wait nearly 30 hours from the "release date." to even access my digital copy, so I'm often asked "is it ready." when the US cash shop doesnt release US games to me until about noon US time on release date, being in Japan - this means a full day and a half extra wait.
Edit2: I have also noticed an uptick of people who take files from anime-sharing and then share them privately on reddit, which, hurts me personally as an uploader as I do not want my personal files shared outside this website. I specifically say this on all my posts, DMCA laws in japan are super strict and I could be facing actual serious repercussions.
