i love how large parts of the VN fandom generally shits itself with rage any time a company comes in to legally release a a desired VN.

?? Both Sol Press and NekoNyan have released two titles, and there haven't been many concerns over quality in either one (after the initial Newton demo which was reworked for the complete title). It is true Sol Press has been delaying Sakura Sakura, but that's because they've had to practically make the engine from scratch (incidentally, they plan to release it around a month from now). They've been upscaling and porting higher resolution sprites into the game. Doddler's tweets on the subject were actually quite fun. It's strange to think of going to conventions as 'showing off', but I'm willing to bet the main reason NekoNyan doesn't visit conventions is because they're based in Europe.

Sterilizing content for consoles will just push people towards PC. This segmentation of content targeted at adults vs. a general audience already exists in the Japanese market. Sucks if you own a console, but for PC gamers this just makes it more likely that the games you want to play will be available on Steam. Given that PC games are usually cheaper than console games, are more likely to get deep discounts, and don't require investment in fixed-function hardware, that's a net positive. If Sony wants to shift away from adult gaming, then my response is, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

Please PM me if you're interested in working as a TLC for this project. That's all for this week. See you in another couple of weeks.

I've been watching their panel. While they didn't say anything specific, they said they always try to get the most uncensored version they can. They explain to the Japanese side that mosaics do affect sales. They mentioned that no major localiser wants to have their releases with mosaics, but it all comes down to negotiation. Sometimes the Japanese side doesn't have the originals (happens a lot with older games), and sometimes the Japanese side is scared of the legal ramifications. "On their side they have legal concerns, and we respect their wishes." "If we have to."

On their panel they just announced Irotoridori no Sekai. Really interesting seeing it getting an official localization would have expected it from Nekonyan or SP instead though. Other than that they also announced Hitotsu Yane no, Tsubasa no Shita de and Mirai Radio to Jinkou-bato

It came out and nobody noticed. Grab it, it's 10% off and the 18+ version is ON STEAM! Support Sayori or go to hell. Long live the queen.

Oh wow sprite viewer (full sprites at that!), after stories, a zip file with wallpapers, scene-jump to any chapter within a route and designer commentary from Sayori and the VAs. Coupled with the good UI and settings menu, this is some S-rank stuff Technical stuff and the gallery rarely get a shoutout, so make sure to praise it whenever you can. EDIT: Steam Achievements actually give us a ranking list for the girls based on who people picked. 1. Miyabi (12,2%) 2. Yuu (12%) 3. Emiri (11,9%) 4. Arle (11,2%) 5. Riria (10,8% rekt) Side girl rankings: 1. Reika (12,3%, everyone going for the milf action) 2. Tama (11,6%) 3. Rin (10,6%)

As someone who loves physical editions I am quite glad that in their Q&A they said they plan to have a focus on physical copies.

Nukitashi, Himawari no Kioku, Onikiss, and two other ojousama VNs (Shitsuaru and Kimi o Aogi).

Fair warning about the Nutaku version: they uploaded a weeks-old build instead of the most recent build we supplied them, so it doesn't have the dual language support and is missing a fair amount of the QA. It will hopefully be fixed soon. I'll let you all know when it is.

Foreword - Yet another week with no VNTS, so hopefully by the time of Sanoba release (Four days left) we'll gonna see another VNTS Review there, and for the reminder Decay was worked on Sanoba. So here's another VNTS Review from mine here, and I hope that you'll enjoy this week review. For the title, seeing that we have Bishoujo Mangekyou release at the last week, I thought that it would be appropriate if I parodied 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie into 'Fifty Shades of Kirie' even though I'm belated a week for that. As for the reason of why I chose that particular franchise, it's because in Bishoujo Mangekyou we have young looking vampire girl (Kirie) and we surely know that Twilight here would be associated with romance between vampire and human. Being the popular work obviously mean that Twilight here would have a lot of fan fiction/doujin work, and one of those works was the basis for Fifty Shades of Grey with Christian Grey in the novel was supposed to be stand-in for Edward Cullen, in which Edward himself is a vampire in the original Twilight. Therefore I changed 'Grey' into 'Kirie' simply because she's a vampire like Edward and did have some sadistic streak like Grey, even though the sex scenes in Bishoujo Mangekyou didn't involved BDSM lol. Fifty Shades of Grey rambling aside, welcome to this week VNTS Review in which unlike last week we didn't have the releases at this week. That said we have a bunch of the updates from Mangagamer after a while so at least this week was slightly interesting for that, although of course we still have some usual updates from fan translation here at this week. Other than usual updates, we also got a good news that Frontier KS was officially confirmed as successful one along with many stretch goal was also funded. Let's see what I could write for this week as well. From Cherry Kiss we'll gonna have elf angel demon nukige will be released at November 7th so congratulation to mod Dergonu in regard of that his second work was finally about to be released, although personally I'm just pass on this though. Other than Cherry Kiss announcement release, we also got an update in regard of Lamunation in which the current progress was at 17% although I admittedly late in regard of reporting this because LoveLab was already posted the update since back at last week (14th) at their Twitter here. As for Frontier KS, congratulation for the successful campaign in which they managed to gather more than ~23 million yen with the base goal was only at 16,665,000 yen for the comparison. While personally I think that the stretch goal was mostly only a cosmetic one, it's nice to see though that Ninetail would do their extra effort to provide new content there such as new soundtrack and new side episodes. Anyway what I can say is that after I did try the gameplay demo, easy to say that I'm gonna looking forward for the full release even though I'm need to wait for 14 or more months here. As for the updates from Mangagamer, obviously their most biggest updates at this week was Bokuten was about to enter the testing in which if we know it's been frozen for several years because of the editing hell or something like that. With this update, obviously it mean that all of the editing process was already finished. As for me while in the past it's one of the big title that was announced by Mangagamer, nowadays there's a lot of more attractive VNs announcement that was announced by either Mangagamer or other company so I couldn't help to think that Bokuten was already having the trope 'Seinfeld is Unfunny' there, but it's still nice to see that finally it managed to get a word from them about that after a long while though. Other than Bokuten, we have Steam Prison was about to enter the testing too, Amatarasu was fully translated and 78% edited, Trinoline was fully edited, Sukehime was at 23% translated and 13% edited, Escalayer was at 91% translated and 58% edited, Maggot Bait was at 55% edited, Room No.9 was at 45% translated and 30% edited, Sona Nyl was at 64% translated, and Rance X was at 18% translated which is a lot more than it sounds. That's all for Mangagamer updates. Right now we have Eustia was at 55.35% translated, Harugi's overall was at 24% translated with Miyabi's route was at 10% translated, and Loverable was at 44.39% edited. We also have new project for Gore Screaming Show with the obvious goal was to fully translated the VN in question, although technically it's not the new project though because the team was been working on that for a while. Right now the team was finally find someone who can make the patch, so hopefully they'll be able to keep the stable updates there. You can visit their homepages here (There's two websites for the info), and for the current progress right now it was at 20.97% translated. As for Screaming Show itself, personally I didn't quite interested with that but I see that some people who like the disturbing content took a liking with that, so I hope that the project will be successful if only for them. For the last update, we got Marika's route of Hoshiori was past halfway (52.79%) translated and overall was at 15.6% translated. There's also the plan that they'll release Marika's patch along with announcing the route order at November 3rd because Urrim want to go to Japan, but keep in mind that the plan may change. That's all for this week VNTS Review, and see you next week.
