Common in Grisaia was nowhere near Majikoi for me... Damn I'll state it right here Maji's common route is the best I've ever read( I haven't read too many VNs tho) I was sad when Majikoi's common finished...

O_O Holy crap
Disgaea PC (2016 Feb) Metacritic

I-Is that you (Kid)Esdeath? Always wanted to see Uncorrupted/Pure Esdeath version

Well, if you have read this VN already and you really liked it/love it I don't see a point why you shouldn't buy it to support dev/pub and get more of their titles o_O? 
G-Senjou is still one of the best titles for people starting VN journey, so SP decided to license it and upgrade and finally release on Steam(and hopefully off-steam too) If there will be Denpa release, I'll buy 18+ version for sure, if there will be some kind of patch to Steam release version which unlocks H-Scenes, and it'll be released at later date without game being on discount, I'll probably won't buy it then, I'll wait for another sale. I still think that hardcore VN fans shouldn't go up with all this cutting h-scenes/steam release/all-ages version/psvita ports bullshit, cause it's like giving in. You buy once, you'll get the same sh** next time :/
Supporting IMHHW (I mean the publisher in that case) is a bad idea, cause it's crappy translated, and they're not willing to fix it.

He wants to play in 800x600 with uncropped CGs and old backgrounds. Probably?

So much hate here... I thought I won't touch even 18+ version because of cropping, but... With some of CG backgrounds elements cropped we get:
- Better Backgrounds(more things are visible)
- Higher resolution sprites
- New improved UI
- Character portraits on the left side of textbox
- Better Font
- Song titles appear at the top right
- "Polished" translation
As you can see this new version is superior to old one... I agree that they should add possibility to play in 4:3 mode 800x600 with uncropped CGs, however that would nbe really hard to do, probably.
I'll patiently wait for 18+ release and support AkabeiSoft, so we can get more of their VNs.
Stop the hate guys, from the looks of it they did what they could to bring US the best possible version of the game.

I'm really happy that they decided to hire someone to help them with PR, but there's still a lot of unresolved problems:
- Sekai Projects forum is dead for over a month, no one beside dovac(last post a month or more ago) answers any questions or hold up any discussions here with community
- Their twitter focus mainly on promoting OEVLNs/cheap/unknown japanese VNs (It was so active though when Witchboy KS or how this VN is called was up)
- We still don't have any progress updates on their BEST localizations (Root Double, Tenshin Ranman, Chrono Clock) We just know that they're picked up, and we have no news beside that, I'm not saying they should post progress updates every week or month, but they should keep people updated... For now we have silence since Otakon/AA, if nothing's going on or translation hasn't started and they're busy with other projects just say so... It won't hurt.
- What I think is really bad from their side is their releasing style. In order to gather hype you should set up release date... Like MG does with their titles Higurashi Ch2? 13 November, yay Euphoria? 27 November, if it'll get delayed it'll get delayed(rarely hapens, right?) Anyway they have set up dates and now they promote by twitter/forums/reddit other things, and boom they get a lot of pre-orders, and fans swarm their VNs all at once(then write reviews and they get more pick ups) And how it looks for SP? Clannad, we still don't know the release date(hello? it's november? date could be nice, even something like 30 Nov) G-Senjou?(Oh it's released tomorrow, surprise?) Mangagamer = translated interviews, pre-orders etc. SP = spontaneous releases At least from what some guy from SP told me on reddit they're preparing relaunch of their website+forum for months, I hope it'll work out, and they will actually post things on them. Also I'm not telling SP to be like MG, because MG is in the business much longer, but they should take an example from them. I hope SP will look like MG right now in like 2 years or so~~
As for the Kickstarter and rewards, even if Clannad gathered like 540k, 54 k goes to Kickstarter guys, so it's already 490~~k translation/re-translation/translation checking/QCing also isn't free, so some of the money needs to go there, then there's physical goodies (tshirts, discs, albums, tapestries, artbooks etc.) and of course license for voices etc. And yeah, dovac have to be fuck*** rich, because he earned 1,5m$ on Kickstarters... and SP stopped getting more licenses(G-senjou/Tenshin Ranman/Wagamama/Chrono Clock for example)
Some guys may not like how SP is doing things now, to be honest I also don't like how they do them... But, we can say they just started and I hope it will get better, and they won't go Steam route only, and still release 18+ versions for hardcore/"loyal" fans. And their 18+ versions won't get X months of a delay and won't go out without proper QCing(I'm keep telling everyone that Denpa's Grisaia is full of typos(they might just put old koestl/Doddler release with AppLocale fix and new font and bugged text display... but w/e) What I can't stand is that dovac or anyone official from SP didn't provide any fixes to text issues O_O And I got ignored by them on forum, god bless that Doddler/koestl are responding on IRC... Can't wait to see how 18+ Meikyuu will work out.

Welcome to the club! \  /

So, I did like 10 golden ticket roll and, she arrived!
Current roster, have saved up 153Q for Alexander  :
Also, still need 1 plume to 4th ascend my d'Eon

There's opinion of creator of GeDoSaTo(Durante) They guy's been tweaking fail ports of JRPGs, and other games too.
http://www.pcgamer.com/tales-of-zestiria-port-analysis-durantes-verdict
 
Honestly, I agree with this guy. PC Zestiria is the best available version of the game. There's only 2 negative points for current Zestiria port:
- Camera(which is a huge fuc**** annoying issue which they didn't fix)
- 30 FPS Lock(I was literally mad at the devs when they said it'll be 30 FPS... And I'm kinda sad that I didn't pre-ordered it now... The game is running at the CONSTANT 30 FPS(not ranging from 25-30), while it isn't silky smooth gameplay, it can be considered smooth, so it's not that bad)
If they would fix camera, would give the game 9/10 where I'm currently at(in the story)
 
Anyway, according to SteamSpy(http://steamspy.com/app/351970) Zestiria has sold about 65k copies, out of which I think 5k~~ maybe was refunded. So 60,000 x 50euro/dolars = 3,000,000 And it will probably learn more on sales, after updates etc. I think it's very worth it for them. They're only digital copies, so they just had to do some programming and put the translation in, that's all. Pure profit. I wonder how it's gonna go with other Tales games, will Bamco start making engines with thought about PC users? OR will they still stick to 30FPS. Will they release more Tales titles on PC? Will Berseria be available on PC? What do you guys thinks? Basing on numbers/reviews I think it's quite likely gonna happen, sooner or later.
 

It was a fun ride. We have week #65 and finally, I can officially announce that SakuSaku is fully translated.

 
I put up a somewhat longish post concerning my motivation, what I got out of working on this project and little something regarding the 'schedule' from this point on here.

FAQ:
Q: Why so many TBAs?
A: Things are subject to change at this stage, so until things have settled in I'm leaving it as TBA. Also waiting for script count.
 
Q: Expected release date?
A: Too far off to say for certain.
 
Q: Will you be translating the sequel as well?
A: Most likely.
 
Q: Does this mean you gave up on Clover Day's?
A: No, progress is still moving. Working on the same game every waking moment gets kind of stale. I'm going to be working on this for a change of pace. This won't hinder the progress of Clover Day's much, as I have a bit of downtime while I wait for other people in the team to finish work.
 
Q: Best girl?
A:

Dear God, please give it 24eps or more :|
Otherwise I'll be sad.

Localized = translated from Japanese to English and released on chosen platforms, localized games have often the most up to date graphic assets and other things.
This Kickstarter is getting a lot of polishing.
