I ignored the part about "localization" and voted as if it covers fanTLs as well. 4) is the least I'd be willing to read through. As you go up through these options, you'll notice that way less and less translations of those qualities are available in the western world. If I only looked for VNs with 9) I'd never have anything to read (and I'd be forced to read and reread maybe 5 VNs that may exist with that TL quality).

A family friendly version of Cocoro Function would be a shadow of its former self.

There's no such thing as family friendly version of Cocoro@Function. Gomen

It's done. Next, Hoshi Ori.

TakaJun, you're a legend. Your TLs might not have been the best out there, but you're definitely the hero we never deserved. If only what's left of the fanTL scene was as half as good as you. Edit: Thank you for everything you've done for this community!

First, The Emerald Sea... and now this. Fuck you, Cabbit/Skyfish.

As I already said, just give me my Chronobox! That's a straight 10/10 title, and it has no episodic mumbo jumbo.

It seems to not be doing so well at the moment:

If that didn't help, then I have no idea what it could be. But I do know the engine it uses is a pain in the ass, and also, it could be Win 10 that has some kind of a problem with the game. Not sure what problem though. I have executed the game fine on Win 7.

I had an issue starting it recently. The fix was to switch to JP calendar mode as well. The option for that is in the regional settings in Control Panel (I assume it's the same on Win 10 too). Just remember to restart the system.

Good! And I was just planning to buy some of these lately!

Why? Is he that bad?

That's why I said they should have aimed for ChronoBox. That's a license to kill for. Then again, I am guessing it was easier to get Anagram than HobiBox. So yeah...

An episodic VN. RIP They should have just picked up ChronoBox instead.

I seriously doubt it's Fate. It smells like a chuunige, but I really doubt it's Fate. Edit: Maybe something from light? KKK would be too hard, so something like Silverio Trinity or any other light title.

Ah, yeah. I can see the analogy. I definitely understand the problem of "doing everything all over again" and I can see what you mean. But the reason I said this wasn't only because of Hatsukoi 1/1. I remember him not liking Tsujidou. I hope the same thing doesn't happen with HoshiOri. I know it's a project they wanted to do from the beginning, and I hope that passion they have for it holds them together for at least that one VN they wanted to do all along. Also, I am afraid of HoshiOri's length. Only few can survive projects on VNs of such length. That's why I am hoping they'll have the will, love, and energy to see it through the end. Err... I never feel empty when I finish things I like XD You may be right, though. I don't know Trip personally, so he may very well be one of those people who feel empty after they finish doing something they like.

The way he is talking lately makes me slightly worried. I think he is getting bored of all of this. Maybe they never finish HoshiOri if he keeps getting bored of TLing.

Unlike SakuraGame, they aren't doing Chinese releases. So, I am guessing people like their English releases enough and keep buying them in droves.

I like how the entry on VNDB says 12+ https://vndb.org/r58996

They are gonna do Snow Presents, Fine Days and Cocoro Function too at some point (maybe even the FD for Cocoro Function), provided they don't go bankrupt or something. Good news for some people I guess.

I see NekoNyan announcing AoKana in 2 weeks. I can almost feel it!

Financial troubles.

I didn't know this. Interesting to hear. Do we know who will be working on it? (i.e. TL, editor?)

Not one KS ever (well, maybe except Cherry Kiss one) delivered the goods on promised time. So don't hope for Ninetail to make an exception, especially not with such a huge title such as Venus Blood Frontier.

Experience is not the only trait you can judge someone by But yeah, I know that for JP TLers they often just ask you for JLPT and similar. And yeah, I don't think that's enough just by itself either. Didn't even notice it. RIP
