H2O √ after and another Complete Story Edition Release Download the patch (Google drive, Mediafire) (ver. 1.01, dated September 8, 2023) Description In H2O -Footprints in the Sand-, Hirose Takuma is a blind middle school student, though the cause for his blindness is undetermined. After his mother died unexpectedly, it left a deep emotional scar on him, causing him to become lonely and reserved. Due to this, Takuma moves from the city out into a rural area to live with his uncle and Takuma is enrolled into a new middle school. There, he meets several new girls, including the firm and obstinate Kohinata Hayami, the kind and obliging Kagura Hinata, and the cheerful and mysterious Otoha. In √ after and another, there are new after stories for two of the heroines from H2O (Hayami and Hinata), plus new routes for Yui and Hamaji/Yukiji, the latter of which also unlocks Maki's route. A version merging both games into one was later released, H2O √ after and another Complete story Edition. H2O VNDB: https://vndb.org/v473 √ after and another VNDB: https://vndb.org/v561 Where to purchase The game can be purchased legally from DMM (https://dlsoft.dmm.co.jp/detail/mnphs_0007/), but a Japanese proxy/VPN may be necessary to purchase it. That is where I obtained my copy. It goes on sale quite often, although it's pretty cheap even at full price, considering its age. Project The English localization project is being conducted by Studio Frisay, fresh off the completed Imasugu Onii-chan ni Imouto datte Iitai! project. As before I (Tooko) will be doing all of the translating and editing of the script, along with probably most of the image editing, and any engine work that needs to be done (of which is very little). Studio Frisay discord server Progress Programming: The game is built on the BGI/Ethornell engine, as with Imaimo before it, so I'm already familiar with how the engine works and have all the resources necessary to apply any hacks and build the completed patch once everything is done. In fact, there's a lot less work this time around on that front because the structure is a lot simpler, being a NVL game instead of an ADV game. Translation: The translation officially commenced on August 10, 2022 and was completed on January 28, 2023, although progress was initially very slow because of the ongoing work for the Imaimo patch at the time. However, I already translated a decent amount of the script (20%) by the time I announced the project a couple months later in October. The game has 73,547 lines across 167 scenario files split up between the common route and six character routes: Common: 6953 / 6953: 100% Hayami: 20620 / 20620: 100% Hinata: 14112 / 14112: 100% Yui: 13151 / 13151: 100% Hamaji: 4973 / 4973: 100% Maki: 5437 / 5437: 100% Otoha: 8301 / 8301: 100% Total: 73547 / 73547: 100% Images and videos: Aside from minor tweaks, all of the in-game images in need of editing are now completed. Editing of images is shared between me and nReus, who will also be typesetting lyrics onto the 9 OP/ED videos. The images include about 110 for the UI, and about 335 for the rest of the game, although most of those are minor variations on each other, so the actual number of unique images is much less. Editing: The editing of the game's text officially commenced on February 10, 2023, and it was completed on July 10, 2023. QC: The quality check phase involves going through a normal playthrough to check for any problems with the patch files and their rendering. This should took about two months, completing in early September. The patch is scheduled for release on September 8, 21:00 UTC. Progress link on Google Sheets

Come into being, oh starlight written across the heavens... for we are a shining falling star. Oh how foolish, you blind and ignorant master of the throne! How could you believe that you could take from my heart hope for the future with a mere prison at the bottom of the sea and an endless labyrinth? Look within these two eyes. Know the fierce and undying flame within my gaze. I already fly far into the distant sky, seeking the solemn flame (the sun). Even though my wings burn and melt away, there is nothing for me to fear. Fly oh Icarus, that you might obliterate the sins. Rage, smash, and burn everything away! Let us bring down judgment upon all that is impure as we burn in the light of victory! Upon my fall, so shall the flames of creation arrive! For that reason, oh all that is evil. Submit and quietly die out. Metalnova-- MkBlaze Hyperion! Shine brightly in the heavens, oh my guardian star, that I might raise up the iron flame. You are so beautiful, oh treasure that stretches as far as I can see. The jewels I stole when I killed my father, the mount of gold wet with crimson... oh why do they shine as they grab hold of my heart and never let go? Now nothing is reflected in my eyes but what shines oh so brilliantly. I won't hand it over to anyone, for it is mine! The dragon relishes his joy as he breathes poison breath upon it. Oh steel sword that pierces and tears apart that joy. Oh death scream that resonates through my nest. The evil creature is slain, and the epic saga begins! Oh immortal hero who knows not fear. I acknowledge that you are true treasure of mankind, and the true form of the gold I desire! Before the solemn light, my overflowing desire brings life to my dead flesh! For that reason, I will devour you whole. For you are mine, I will hand you over to no other! To speak a prophecy of ruin and endings, I will thrust a sword into your back! Metalnova--- Sigurd's Bane, Dainsleif! (Demon dragon's war story, the hero-slaying sword of ruin)

Fall from the heavens, oh my guardian star. Obliterate everything within the iron abyss. I have served at the side of Hades for many ages. I am the beastly and arrogant wolf who prays for the fall of all that is bright and noble while easing my hunger with the flesh and blood of the dead. Spit out curses, devour hope, grind the jaws of despair. The deadly poison that drips from my fangs desperately, oh how desperately desires the collapse of the heavens. Let the shining brilliance be corrupted, without exception. Go extinct, go extinct, let everything be reduced to garbage. The shrieks and tears have fallen into the abyss. The only thing I have left to cling to is the sound of the harp that plays within the darkness. For that reason, sleep for now within the depths of the dead sea at the side of your love's corpse, oh minstrel. Oh my grudging scream, reach the heavens. Howl out to the empty moon! Metalnova- Howling Kerberos (Shriek in madness, oh accursed silver wolf!)

Nope, only the trailer video there was English dubbed (and quite badly). The game itself is full Japanese dubbed.

hmm, it does sort of get shown but it's further down than the recent topics. Of course, I use "unread content" like a chad so I would see it, but few people have achieved my level of chaddom. If your main blog has an RSS feed you can make the blog feature pull it automatically here, which is pretty low effort.

This song that plays towars the true end of Taishou Mebiusline just became my favorite on a VN after i finished it a few days ago.

Is this really English Dubbed?? I hope this is not going to become a thing for future visual novels in general. Anyway, I am happy this is getting a PC release for those that were really looking forward to it. People are getting sick of censorship and their voices are being heard.
