I think the EN VA is probably for Claire, from the Arrivel of the Goddess, since she is canonically American on the Doujinshi.When it comes to hentai game, a Japanese voice is a must, I dont wanna hear any English porno voice crap cause it doesnt fit at all

100% agree. My native language is Spanish but I wouldn't want to hear any of that in Spanish either. Japanese as a language lends itself much better for that kind of thing along with avg JP seiyuus being leagues above even the best that any other nation has to offer.When it comes to hentai game, a Japanese voice is a must, I dont wanna hear any English porno voice crap cause it doesnt fit at all
I've also noticed that for whatever reason, EN voice actors and general scripting tends to have a slightly comedic bent for this kind of thing whereas the JP are able to actually take things seriously. IMO this goes a long way toward making things less retarded.

So what are the chances of him releasing the lust voyage earlier than in the next 4th week of May? Also does he is more active in his discord server? Does he share some wips over there? if that was the case then someone already would share some of that work in progress here i guess.

I feel like such a weeb saying this; but Japanese seiyuus are in general objectively the best voice actors in the world on-average. Mostly for the simple reason that they are unlike the majority of the globe, well, actually professionally trained and schooled for voice acting (sometimes even for years on out), it's like an actual major and not something that just any randos pick up. I heard that auditions are also extremely competitive that even masters like Yuki Kaji said that he does't get selected for 90% of the roles he tries for...

I know what you mean, yeah. I 'feel' luck that Spanish is my native language since it seems to heavily separate me from the broad weeb 'community'. I'm positive you understand and know the kind of guys I'm referring to.
Absolutely, but it's even more than that as you alluded to.
There have been bigtime seiyuus that have taken parts in H-productions and I don't mean one or two semi-obscure guys. In Japan voice acting is very competitive industry and taken very seriously. I've talked to native JP in some comment sections and gotten slightly mixed responses but some of them say that a lot of Japanese view animation + voice acting as a more serious enterprise than live-action productions. The total opposite of people 'overseas'. Anyway, I agree with you.
....
EDIT:
I'm not from the U.S. but I have a pretty good guess as to why U.S./'western' dubbing is garbage these days. It's due to the ultra-corrupt unions that do not allow talented voice actors to thrive while at the same time rewarding crappy ones. If you recall, in the 80s & especially the 90s there was an up and coming dubbing industry that never seemed to get off of the ground. That's the reason or at least part of it.

Understandable fam, I'm in the same boat actually. Well not Spanish, but I am Moroccan, probably the closest non-EU country to Spain ironically. The whole "weeb" thing and community around it in general doesn't exist here. I think Anime is just considered like a normal nerdy hobby like any other in a lot of the North African countries (I went to Algeria and Tunisia as well), it was often considered just " kid cartoons", but as the years went by it became more widely accepted. While it is still considered a nerdy hobby, people look at it here the same way as any other foreign media instead of a specific niche.
Exactly. It's more of a professional and serious medium in Japan, which in its case is even beating live-action in broadness like you mentioned. While in the West many still downplay animation as a kid thing, in the exception of the occsional adult centric show which doesn't change much considering how little that happens in actual cinema, and that reflects as well on the lack of experienced VAs and unique voices. Plus, in general the majority of the voice actors sound the same and try very little to ground or add unique differences to their tones, which again reflects heavily on the views of the average US consumer on animation the corrupt agencies/unions around it. Heck, you probably know about/remember when the Oscars called animation a "genre" and "for kids", that even Guillermo del Toro had to correct that dumbass take during his award acceptance speech for Pinocchio. It's no wonder dubbing is still so centered around big name actors and only in rarity are professional VAs involved, while even then those "professional VAs" are often not that professional..
Either way, it's still whatever. There are outliers out there in the mix too, so I hope respect for the medium grows more eventually, though it's hard to change the current state of the industry in the US
.Do someone know when will he release his games, in the next week or the forth week of this month?

Sadly that's not in the cards, at least not within our lifetime is my guess.
A game called 'Senua's sacrifice' semi-recently won the BAFTA award for best voice acting in a video game because of the protagonist 'Senua''s voice over. The 'voice actress' had literally never done any voice acting in her life. She was just a regular staff there that ended up helping with the mocap and they were like 'Fuck it. Let's have her do the voice acting too'. Look it up. I'm not lying or exaggerating. That's how bad the corruption & awful standards have gotten so it's unlikely to improve anytime soon. Yeah I know that's not in the U.S. but the general point stands.

So speaking of the English voice, is it confirmed that the new game "Lost Voyage" is gonna have the English voice?
