I don’t think it’s unreasonable or ‘chauvinistic’ for me to expect the reviewers I read to have a certain level of reading comprehension for the VNs that they review, and frankly MTL just doesn’t meet that level yet.

Can a food critic review a food they haven't tasted?

After quite a long wait I have finally have the Grisaia complete box.
This is the front of the box

The back of the box

The sides of the box


The back of the things that houses the games as well as the soundtracks.

The games and soundtrack

The artbook (it is quite large)

A random sample from the artbook (sorry for blurry picture, not really that steady when holding a camera).
Extra items

Size comparison with a regular DVD case and a normal japanese physical VN.

As for the quality of this I would say it is amazing. It looks wonderfull and it has quite a lot of weight to it and just feel like an overall really high quality product. If I were going to nitpick some things I guess one would be that I think it would be nice if they had the small extra stories on disc, since they already had so many things on disc they should have just added one more (not a huge complaint though since they are only really short stories, <2 hours each according to vndb). Another thing is that the cover thing for The cleaning of grisaia light novel doesn't really seem to fitt perfectly (seems larger than it should be compared to the book). Though again these are just small nitpicks, overall I am really really satisfied with the quality of the box and glad I bought it even though it was really expensive.

Use our lord and savior Garbro instead.

Those text boxes are kind hard to look at (white text on white background).

I've got a good handful of english manga but it's all at home in Florida and I'm up in Ohio during the school year. What do have on hand though is my Japanese music. Ask me about any of these and I'll tell you what the best songs on them are.
EDIT: I messed up the formatting. There are two more pictures inside the spoilers.

Idk I kinda like them for some reason.

Very small physical collection here. From top left to bottom right:
- Shoujo Shin'iki
- Ooedo Blacksmith - Not actually considered a VN I guess but I'm not retaking the picture.
- Date A Live: Twin Edition Rio Incarnation - Includes all 3 Date A Live VNs to date
- Mahoyo
- Hello Lady! OST - Paid $40 for this just to get the full version of the theme song. No regrets.
- Time Hollow - My first VN before I knew what VNs where. Disappointingly linear plot for a VN about time travel.
- Hotel Dusk: Room 215
 
I also paid for the physical game tier of the Narcissu kickstarter back when everyone thought Sekai Project were going to be the saviors of VNs in the west. It's been 4 years almost and I still haven't gotten that yet.

If the actual VN is anything like the trial version, you can use Garbro to get to its script files.
https://github.com/morkt/GARbro/releases/tag/v1.5.42
They're in the srp.pac file. Inside there you should find a bunch of .srp files. Extract them and open them in a text editor like notepad++ to edit them. After that point things get tricky in two ways. The first is that the script files are arranged in quite possibly the dumbest way possible. The text is all on a handful of lines where any other engine would give each piece of text its own line.
 
Editing is going to be a pain in the butt. And then the second thing is that I don't know how to repackage the script files once you have them translated. I'd cross that bridge when you get there though.
 

Indiegala is running a Mangagamer bundle with:
- EROGE! Sex and Games Make Sexy Games
- Please Bang My Wife
- Sweet Sweat in Summer
- Orc Castle
- Kuroinu Ch. 1
https://www.indiegala.com/erotic-escapades-bundle-anime-videogames-bundle
The bundle is $10 USD. Very worth it imo, even if only for Eroge and Kuroinu.

The superior Hello Lady OP. Legit paid $40 for the Hello Lady soundtrack just to get the full version of this song.
 

Alienworks have been around for awhile but haven't finished what was supposed to be their debut VN (they ended up releasing other VNs first), The Human Reignition Project, which I really want to read. I thought the project was dead, but I guess that put out a new demo just last month. Hopefully that means they're nearing completion.

well theres only a small margin of visual novels with romance that take place in a high school but glad you found it.

i wish they bring back fuwanovel vntl/vnts weekly instead of vntl/vnts quartery/semi annually
 

We should definitely not acknowledge Monta93 in any way.

A'ight this is kind of a pain but I think I figured it out. You'll need to install 2 things if you don't have them already:
Go language compiler - https://golang.org/doc/install
Git - https://git-scm.com/downloads
 
For the first part you'll need to run the following commands in cmd:
go get github.com/regomne/eutil/codec and
go get github.com/regomne/eutil/textFile These two libraries are required for building/running the cst.go file. If you open the file in a text editor you'll see they're imported at the top of the file.
 
Then in cmd navigate to the folder that has cst.go in it. PATH/TO/chinesize/CatSystem/cstTextProc. Then you can build the .go file like this:
go build cst.go That should drop an exe file called cst.exe in the same folder which you run through cmd by inputting its name. It says that to extract text you use the -e argument. So to extract a script you'd write this:
cst.exe -e nameOfScriptFile.cst EDIT: The above extract command is WRONG. See @Shinya's reply on April 1 2019 for the correct syntax. All other steps are correct.

Even with a C&D letter they can't stop you from translating it for yourself. They probably don't care either. They just don't want you to hurt sales of their localization by offering an alternative for other people.
If you want to release a patch for something that is likely already licensed like this the best bet is to do to everything privately and recruit people through non-public channels. Meaning, don't announce the fact that you're working on a patch. Then once it's done just drop the patch out of nowhere. That way you can at least get the patch out there for a little bit before the C&D hits.
 
Sure they're different games and ES Gold doesn't have anything announced yet, but the localization of the original game came out just last year so I think it's too soon to assume that Fruitbat Factory doesn't intend to localize ES Gold. Assuming the original was successful I find it highly probable that Fruitbat Factory are working on Localizing ES Gold already, even if they haven't announced it yet.
