Wow, the first translated title from Tone Work's. That's quite impressive, I'll certainly give it a try.
Really? If so, that would smell a bit fishy to be honest. Either they worked with almost inhuman speed, or they used... other means to get it done so fast.
from what i´ve got from /vn both have pretty much been in the process of non-stop translating (8h+ each day), editing and fighting technical shenanigans for about 17weeks, so yeah, whilst stuff might seem "a little" unorthodox at first glance, in reality it all comes down to the size of ones inner masochist. ̶n̶̶e̶̶u̶̶r̶̶o̶̶c̶̶i̶̶l̶̶ ̶&̶ ̶̶h̶̶a̶̶l̶̶d̶̶o̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶d̶̶o̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶r̶̶e̶̶s̶̶t̶

the most beautiful header image alone makes me want to promise you my firstborn (asuming there will be one). this, and my continuous support on the future endeavours of yours. cheers & keep going!

guess this was bound to happen, eh? did read it shortly before my mind collapsed and definitely had a blast whilst doing so, quite happy for others being able to experience the same somewhat soon-ish as well. from what i get the whole kickstarter thingy is to bring over an enhanced version (+goodies) of its, isn´t it? anyway hope it does well for you and possibly more to be brought over titles of theirs future-wise wouldn´t be bad either, especially a certain beautifully written jqv.
edit: don´t you ever go mainstream, doujinshi are the industry´s real alpha & omega.
edit2: just noticed that amoeba called malamasala commenting on the prefundia of yours. better not take his simpleminded whatsnot of an opinion as a measurement for the community as a whole, because that´s what it is. neither high res visuals/ famous voice acting, nor ero content which often feels out of place is what should matter most. if the writing is shit, everything is shit. simple as that.- novurdim, PhleBuster, Narcosis and 2 others

start annoying mg for their aparent lack of interest in localising waffle´s yabai! for whatever invalid and non comprehensive reasons.
& nah the former ocassionally doing some of amenonuboko´s works is no good either, granted most males are the dominant species in there, BUT at the same time almost all female swines do sound like them suffering from bloody hemorrhoids. simply disgusting. not even to mention their titles being utmost garbage tier.
other than that, and in case your fine with japanese works turned into nothing but whiteghetto movies on a literary level, go ahead try reading clockup´s eu4ea. -

That's fast indeed, maybe too fast in my opinion, I hope the TL is at least readable and mostly correct, from a fan-TL I am not expecting anything of super-quality but still, readibility would be something I'd prefer to if it's possible xD
that is because of him translating up to 8h each day, which still doesn´t rule out a possible non-readability of its, but asuming his editing counterpart is at it with determination similar to his, then things should probably work out, maybee.
more concerned about what lies beyond, and how, means what are their minds going to look like after being thoroughly worked to the bones. -

being made available on steam or not doesnt really matter much to me, since almost every title of theirs ended up falling flat, btw started to bore me out whilst reading through, mostly due to its fairly underwhelmingly written characters/semi-mediocre drama aka pulltop syndrom.

Well according to my VNStat:
i´m inclined to second natsu no kusari. no great many thought through and well written character studies floating around, yet said one is gravely missunderstood in its nature by many.
also wanting to mention kawarazaki-ke2 here, which too is a masterpiece of its own, much unlike the literary abomination silkys plus dared to create. -

Maybe some day they will start making these things "smarter", so that they can understand when there is slang / other unique forms used in the sentences they are translating, making them a lot more accurate. (This would of course put translators out of their jobs, so please don't do this scientist-san
)
as far as i know google did announce just recently of them plan on releasing a vastly improved version of the translator of theirs, though it´s only in the case of chinese <->english for now (if i remember correctly).

Groups like MoeNovel are why I hate the mindset of "any official translation at all is good, no matter the quality. We should support them to show that there's a market for visual novels in the west", because then we get steaming piles of crap like IMHHW, and then other companies like Debonosu and Co. see that people are willing to buy anything with cute anniemay grills no matter how shitty the translation is and how ham handed the censorship job, and want in on the mad rush to reach the bottom.
I mean, Jesus, look at what MangaGamer and SP alone have announced this year. We don't need to give every random company our money in the hopes that the industry will grow and we'll get more translated VNs. If anything, we should be pickier about who we give money to now, if only so that we can prevent more Konosoras from happening. Accepting and rewarding garbage in the hopes that we'll eventually get something better is moronic and counterproductive.
that´s exactly what i meant in my comment above, as said "choosers can´t be beggards" attitude some peple have is what keeps this pile of crap growing infinitely. this is late 2016, not the 90´s and there´re more than enough good quality works available these days to pick from. deluding oneself that supporting each and every thing which pops up will come to fruition eventually is nothing but detrimental to the industry as a whole.

just had a talk with a certain someone reagarding a similar topic, so i´d say go for gun-katana, as it should both entertain and calm you down (in terms of not having to think much into it). no getting (forcefully) educated of ethics & morals, no vast amount of moe & its females have no balloons attached to them either. enjoy!
on another note you might want to look into elf´s avk as well because it´s quite the hillarious read aka good popcorn entertainment for when a bad mood hits you hard. -

Help me please, and I'll be your friend.
Thank you. ^^still stuck in a train (since almost 10h, huh?), but oh well just fuck it, like promised here´re some additional titles which should meet the criteria (not all of them though) of yours in terms of story, setting, visuals, literary value and memorable characters:
• kaihou shoujo sin
• kuroshiro no difference
• tsuyukusa eu4ea
• minstrel -kowareta ningyou-
• titles by kagehoushi, especially "yami o hashiru yaiba no kirameki"
• kagerou, though good luck getting your hands on the sidestory, as it took me quite some efforts when
begging its author for showing a little mercy
• re;world vol. 1-3
• tunneloop
• noesis 1+2
• iranaiko gemu
• kitan
• alice in dreamworld
• w-standard,wonderland lv. 0-1
• majority of amateru´s works
• the rather short, but pretty unique & fun kikikoi 1 + 2
• & lastly a series you definitely shouldn´t miss on out reading no matter what, called "lisbelluru no ma"
might be noteworthy that neighter are they all hookable, nor do prose-fags find most of them appealing.
wish i had more time at my disposal to possibly come up with others, but hope is there you will find at least some of them entertaining, if not great. enjoy!
edit: and as a general reminder that´s not specifically meant at you, always remember to support authors by actually buying their titles, especially if they happen to be small doujin-circles. nothing more detestable than certain dudes & gals calling themselves true fans, while at the same time have no qualms in playing their part of ruining someone´s dream/buiseness, even more so since most doujinshi around are basically cheaper than a sandwich. same goes for ones willingness of lending creators a helping hand if asked to, means going typo-/bughunting as an act of gratitude. -
honestly speaking people only do get what they deserve, since a great many are apparently non willing to end that toxic "choosers-can´t-be-beggars" attitude of theirs. how often did i come across lots of them shitting on said title´s overall quality, how often did i read of them planning to give it a try nonetheless, how much more contradictionary has their behavior to become? as long as producing trash is going to be rewarded financially there wont be adequate changes. simple as that.

*having read through those walls of whatsnot and ended up being too demotivated (as of now) to answer in the same fashion, so-------
you might want to try looking into some of imayui´s works, as they´re mostly, if not all
1) surreal as fuck
2) poetic as fuck
3) unique as fuck

depending on how much you´re able to stomache i´d also recommend reading "kurai nichiyoubi", which should hopefully end up being a meaningful experience to you (at least it was in my case) forwhy said title has quite some values to it - despite its dark-ish aura or rather gloomy attitude, btw. better not go in expecting some fluff only because it´s been rated all-ages, as such expectations couldn´t be further away from the truth. anyway enjoy!
edit: i´ll try to be a little more talkative later and come up with different suggestions, but wont do so until i´ve returned home.

With a little luck, perhaps they've learned their lesson from the response IMHHW recieved.
if that´s the case then they´re even more likely to try doing it in the same fashion, simply because the way it´s been done/handled earned them a rather darn good sum of money - despite all the related flame.

I tried reading Aguni, but I found it a bit boring. Maybe I'll start it after I finish the second chapter.
better stick with it now to not possibly lessen your overall reading-experience. aguni is rather important plot-wise and hasn´t been included there (& at this point) without a reason, even if it might be a little lackluster in terms of overall enjoyment.

Are you saying Frontwing shouldn't attempt to have a diverse catalog?
this. like in whatever post/topic/statement about bringing over whichever title coming from frontwing themselves people only keep on asking stuff related to grisaia or its derivates. gives me the freaking creeps. as if they arent allowed anymore to try out something different after grasaia´s commercial success...& yo, then fellows start wondering why phantom trigger has been decided on...

And if I may answer here, no Fruitbat Factory didn't translate the ero scenes at all because they release it at PS3 as far as I know.
i know that, but since they´ve already translated the main game excluding ero, they may have got contracted by jast to do the rest as well aka outscourcing the workload.
-
no idea how much they (jast) are even involved in the task of translating said title, but there´s literally 80% already done, except for its armada of ero, which fruitbat may, or may not do for them as well.
edit. sorry scrap that, i happened to missread the title´s name and it was meant regarding the standart version. -

As far as the main cast coming back in this goes, I strongly doubt it will happen. It would be cool, but it would make little sense with the ending in Rakuen.
this. everyone is busy as hell with fucking around, so why the hell would they even want to return to a world filled of guns and dread.
-
...da fuck is that...?
edit. basically a new series based of the same universe, though the way it´s presented in terms of possible violence does almost give off some HotD vibes, oh well cant say i´m against such thing
edit2: so yeah, it´s some completely new titles (to an extend). length-wise i dont really expect them to be that long due to being priced at only 1,980円 excl.taxes.
Libra of the Vampire Princess - Releasing May 16th, 2017
in Visual Novel Talk
Posted · Edited by XReaper
this goddamn-ish mentality of yours is exactly what´s keeping companies such as mikandi jp to appear on stage, ultimately fucking up people´s hopes and expectations. you seriously don´t want to get it, do you? like if this (libra etc) was an unofficial translation of sorts, like if some retards suddenly decided on doing stuff they had no single clue about, like them stubbornly ignoring all goodwill-ish feedback in the process of creating an abomination you could either read(?), or refuse doing so, because well, it´d be an unoffical one, so fuck it. but in the case of libra it´s fundamentically different
- licensing costs & whatnot probably at a minimum due to them being all lovey-dovey with xero
- still got an impressive sum of little over 180k out of the kickstarter campaign of theirs
- having put quite some reccources into propaganda and avertisement
- unless all funds were spend on drinking finest shochu and whoring around with schoolgirls, there should´ve definitely been enough left for hiring themselves some competent staff
- & lastly let´s please not forget one of the claims they did make:
"XERO has partnered with MiKandi Japan to complete this giant task. Together we are working with the original writers, and programmers to deliver a superbly translated game"
so yo, from a customers point of view this sure is sth to feel angry about, even more so if he/she happened to back the aforementioned campaign, which as things stand now was build on lies and utterly false assurances.
not even remotely wanting to mention the bad turn they´ve done to each and every smaller-ish publisher who´s trying to somehow get by when doing kickstarters.
edit: and just to be clear, this has so fuckingly nothing to do with being able to read moonrunes or not, because if you´re calling yourself a professional, yet keep on delivering one hell of a garbled mess, getting condemned should be expected. simple as that.
