Lucid9 Kickstarter Launches January 1st, 2024! Exciting news, everyone! The Lucid9 Kickstarter is officially launching on January 1st, 2024! We've poured our hearts and souls into crafting this campaign, and we can't wait to share it with everyone. To be among the first notified when the campaign goes live, head over to our Kickstarter pre-launch page today! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/618620552/lucid9-a-mystery-visual-novel In the meantime, we're gearing up for launch by reaching out to content creators and journalists. During the month of January, we also plan to host a series of development livestreams. We'll be posting more details about the stream schedule and guest appearances as we draw closer to the new year. As we've always aimed to introduce more people to the magic of visual novels, we hope this campaign will reignite the spark of interest in Lucid9 that emerged upon its initial release years ago. With the backing of our passionate community through this Kickstarter campaign, we confidently anticipate completing the game by the end of 2024. And to further fuel your excitement, we're proud to unveil the brand-new story trailer today! Take a look! Why Kickstarter? Since its creation in 2014, Lucid9 has been in development for nearly a decade. Despite some notable releases, such as Inciting Incident in 2016 and the heroine prologues in 2019, progress has been slow and inconsistent due to the game being a free project. The COVID-19 pandemic has only made things more difficult, with many of us having less time and resources than usual. A Kickstarter campaign would allow us to complete the game in a reasonable timeframe and open up opportunities for additional features and polish, depending on the amount of funding we receive. Without funding, we are limited in the content we can create. A fully funded project would cover the cost of character sprites, backgrounds, CGs, music, programming, and writing, and potentially include additional art, voice acting, and an animated opening. While the full game will still be released for everyone to play for free, we have a number of exciting rewards lined up exclusive to backers, including signed physical illustrations, digital wallpapers, artbooks, Lucid9 themed t-shirts, and more! Story In the heart of the bustling metropolis of Isamu, Japan, a dark shadow looms over the esteemed Isamu Academy. Yama Ishimoto, an intelligent yet jaded high school student, finds himself thrust into the center of a chilling mystery as a wave of gruesome murders sweeps through the school. These killings bear an eerie resemblance to the unsolved Independent Murders that once plunged the city into chaos years ago. As Yama delves deeper into the enigma, he uncovers a labyrinth of secrets and hidden truths that intertwine with the city's dark past. With each revelation, he navigates a treacherous path that draws him and his companions closer to the heart of a sinister conspiracy that has cast a pall over Isamu. Lucid9 is a tale of suspense that delves into the depths of human nature, exploring themes of friendship, betrayal, and the unwavering pursuit of truth in the face of overwhelming darkness. How You Can Help We would be grateful if you would consider supporting our Kickstarter campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated! You can pledge as little as $1, and every pledge will help us reach our goal. You can also share the project with your friends and family to help us spread the word.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. As for the title since we have Sono Hanabira 13 translation patch released, I decided to just combined it with Precure All Stars New Stage movie with Sono Hanabira, and so we have 'Sono Hanabira All Stars New Stage' as the title. Also yes, I did use the similar title from my past VNTS Review, because back then we have Sono Hanabira 11 in that it also has the all casts with the continuation of their stories, and Sono Hanabira 13 is the second game with the similar premise (Hence I use New Stage as in it's the second trilogy of Precure All Stars movie). Anyway as for this week compared to the last week it's definitely an improvement, especially with the release for both Sono Hanabira 13 and Inochi no Spare from fan translation section, and not to mention that Mangagamer finally about to release IX in less than a month. Overall I can say that this week is an interesting one thanks to the releases, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Sekai did already have Amairo Chocolata 2 was fully in QA along with it listed as 'Pending Approvals', which from what I can understand is that it seems Sekai planned it to be their next release after Qualia. Speaking of Qualia release, Sekai already listed February 3rd later as the release date so you can note the date if you've been looking forward to Qualia. For Sekai updates, I can only say that both are not in regard of Madosoft VNs, so whatever. artlink released another translated DLC story for Obedient Women, and this time it's in regard of Kaede Kagami who is a young wife that is competent in houseworks. Mangagamer announced that they'll release Rance IX on February 23rd later, so you can note the date if you've been waiting for new Rance game, especially for the one who've been waiting for the English version since 2014. Shiravune did license another new title that they'll release on February 10th later, and said new title is Beta Sixdouze which is set in the same world as the prequel (Alpha Nighthawk). While I can't say that I like the design as much as I like Miriya's design from the prequel, the art in Sixdouze is still good, so at least you can note the date if you want to see more of Nighthawk world. I'd also mention that I look forward to see if Shiravune will be able to localize Sixdouze as well, and they prove that they can so good for them. We have Chronos released, and from what I see it's about the spaceship with the female crew that will suffer a lot of rape by tentacle. No much to say other than go get Chronos if you've been looking forward to it or want to see more Black Lilith VNs, and have fun. For the rest of fan translation updates, we have H2O was fully translated with the translator now focusing on the editing works for the VN (Image, script, and video), Maho's route of December When There is No Angel was fully translated and now the translator working on Yukio's route, and Senmomo is at 86.95% edited with side stories was past halfway (54.36%) edited. We also have Committee of Zero announced the exact date for Chaos Head Noah fix patch release, and it'll be on February 3rd later. Yesterday we have Inochi no Spare release, in which it's the well known utsuge with the bittersweet ending. I'd say that I hope that someday it'll get English translation so that more it can be enjoyed by more people outside Indonesian (It's available in Indonesian language for the reminder), and I get what I hope thanks to PyroCyan out there. As for Inochi no Spare itself, while I said that the fictional heart disease is the plot device, it can't be denied that it show on how all human are understandably very fearful of death. That said, while it has fictional terrible disease, the author here clearly didn't ask us to have him explaining on how to cure it, but instead the author ask us to see on how the main couple (Ryuuji and Meguri) who have their days numbered thanks to the disease spent the last days of their remaining life. Go get Inochi no Spare if you want to play sad VN and didn't mind the sadness. I mentioned that we have Sono Hanabira (Sonohana) with all casts, and said Sonohana VN is Sonohana 13 aka Snow White Knight, which is another big Sonohana VN that featured all previous couple with one new couple (Rikka x Sayuki). Which of course, we'll going to see on how the new couple will gradually open up to each other and then have sex. For the reminder, Sonohana series was known as nukige in the past, even with the sex scenes are quite short. By the way, even though I mention that all Sonohana couple will appear in Sonohana 13, only five couple that got their stories, so there's not spotlight for the remaining two couples (Takako x Runa and Shizuku x Eris). That said, there's also Sonohana 14 (Which also translated as well) that featured Shizuku x Eris, so at least technically we have six out of seven couples get the spotlight. Go get both Sonohana if you want to see more GL romance (Or maybe just want to read the whole series), and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
