    Their reply basically means that they will only release it on their own site, no? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

    Some games get their rights re-negotiated and taken in by third companies. But usually they're big games, not sure if Propeller's works would fit the bill.
    I think Amairo will happen at some point, it's a desired title, it's Yuzusoft, it has the way paved by a couple other titles like Noble*Works, Dracu Riot and Sanoba Witch, and there's no major hurdle to overcome that I know of.
    I still got my wishlist from 2013 and most of those games haven't been released in the West, they're covered in a big pile of dust...

    Okarin got a reaction from Happiness+ in Is Kindred Spirits similar to SeaBed?   
    I wonder why everyone praises SeaBed, must be the dreaded "Subahibi effect".
    I generally want my mysteries to be more engaging and better written.

    Shadows of Pygmalion is not what you describe, but it is yuri and chuuni and heavily oriented towards overcoming plot things. I say it's not what you're looking for because it's a 15+ game, not 18+, and it's not nearly as interested in romance as it is in plot (though there is clearly a bit of crushing going on and one very hot kiss to keep you warm at night). I really enjoyed it, at any rate: https://fuwanovel.net/reviews/2017/03/08/the-shadows-of-pygmalion/

    Nakige are good enough for me, it's a formula that really works, and it's nice to see things improving in the end.
    A good bittersweet ending is Rin's in Katawa Shoujo.


    I'm not so big on utsuge for the moment. Too extreme. Why look for a realistic, bad ending, if life provides plenty of that? I thought VNs were escapism.

    Okarin got a reaction from Infernoplex in Just finished Crescendo....(Spoilers)   
    I'd say it depends on the actual timeframe.
    For example, Spike Chunsoft, now, they don't have any qualms about localising just another version of Steins;Gate -ANY version, really, because it's a best seller.
    But G-Collections is ANCIENT and they probably used what was available. It's just that the companies don't return to previous titles with improved versions, it seems like the West needs a constant flow of new localisations and people care more to have as many different games as possible, not return to old ones.
    Another (discordant) example is Rewrite, which is officially arriving in 2 versions I think, and given that the majority of Key fans have already read it, either they buy it out of commitment, or it backfires gloriously (like Little Busters, mind you).
    But of course, Rewrite and S;G are major games in a bountiful age for the community like 2018 is, not an old game like Crescendo.

    Regarding Crescendo and Tsuki...
    No, they didn't cut anything. G-Collections localized these 2 VNs slightly before their later editions came out. And as per usual in the western VN industry, we never, or very rarely at least, get these later editions updates for the original western localized VNs. So it wasn't "cut", but more like "never updated". Not strange considering VNs were selling even worse back in the day, so there was no incentive to update them at all.

    I find it a bit jarring to have cloudless blue skies on my novel where outside my window it's raining buckets. Plus, the temperature it's supposed to be. It's called IMMERSION.
