I try to make sure that I read every comment that I can on here, and I can guarantee that I understand the position that you and Sol Press are in.
Hopefully, I can provide you guys with some information real quick, and be as open as possible!
In terms of licensing, this is something we've even discussed with different partners of ours. We are still small, so it is difficult to actually acquire anything substantial. The titles we have though mean the world to us, and we wouldn't have picked them up if we didn't like them. It's a growing game, so hopefully, in a few years you'll see us up near the top.
For Kickstarters, I have the exact same worries as most of you. Translation quality, becoming reliant on Kickstarter, and reliability are all issues that are currently plaguing the industry.
I personally have read each and every complaint about the translation quality of Sakura Sakura. We hesitated to release a Kickstarter Update until just a few days ago because there were so many changes happening each and every day in Sol Press to fix this. It was literally a "Let's wait until tomorrow to announce this because this is happening tomorrow also" that would repeat every day.
In the Kickstarter update, we addressed the issue of translation quality by doing the following:
We brought on more experienced translators (TBAC and Ningen) to assist with the translation. We also brought on two very experienced proofreaders and beta testers, Kitty-tama and Haerts (whose names I think most of you will recognize). 
To address issues of becoming reliant on Kickstarter, we've already begun projects that are not reliant on Kickstarter. We don't plan on announcing any of them through until they're much closer to release, but I can guarantee you it is something we want to move away from in the future.
 
In summary:
We'll get bigger titles as we slowly grow our name, but in our personal beliefe, each one of our titles is special and worth a read.
I personally read all the criticism I can find, even if it hurts. We're actively taking steps to improve on our weaknesses.
We're going to be moving away from Kickstarter, although the first few Kickstarters are to Kickstart the company as a whole. They help to build a rhythm and structure our deadlines/timeframes.
alice is super cute.
 
I've always been available on Discord for any DM's. If you see an issue arising at our company, please let me know! It's a lot easier to fix issues before it becomes ingrained in company culture than after.
 
 
I also want to point out that we are trying to identify issues we see are arising as well. An example would be honorifics. To help alleviate this issue, I came up with the idea of a honorifics toggle system.
Our surveys have pointed out that there is a large demographic that was being ignored with this. 13% of readers prefer no honorifics, while 54% prefer honorifics (33% don't care).
Our entire goal is to make reading visual novels a more pleasant experience. From our review poll, this was a highly utilized and appreciated mechanic.
 
If anyone sees other similar issues, please let me know and we'll try to brainstorm solutions!

Forgot about "Memories OFF" . It is very popular console exclusive series with many games.
Memories Off 6: Next Relation                 Memories Off 6 ~T-Wave~ Memories Off: Yubikiri no Kioku                 Memories Off: Yubikiri no Kioku - Futari no Fuuryuuan

Net high... Just play it!

Also, maybe KonoSuba if you like anime games? Or "Date-A-Live Twin Edition Rio Reincarnation" is very good choice(~2 games in one)

Asakura Nemu from "D.C. ~Da Capo~" is obsessive
But you could achieve a hate for obsessive heroines after her Be aware.

But language doesn't matter. If you want to download, you will download any version regardless of language.
Theres is no point to buy japanese version if don't understand that language. English fan TL brings only new potential customers that may(or not) buy this game. Also if we assume the English community as a bunch of filthy pirates, then prepackaged edition is even better, because it is useless for those, who want to play in original, and people who download it - will never buy original version. Then what the point?
You should be proud if someone want to translate your work for free(bad TL is another story...) and share it with more people. I just can't see how this can bring any harm for sales...

I guess price tag was too low for him? 
That guy an asshole, btw. https://vndb.org/t8891

When I finished one specific game, that come to mind how I "love" those endings.
I would like to put VNs with them in my "wishlist" with "high" priority to play "asap".
I already checked all of them on VNDB with opening major spoilers, so any recommendation is fine, even with spoilers pointed on specific route(that would be better).
 
So I will be appreciated with any recommendation. Especially with japanese only titles, because I am sure vndb lack many tags in them.
 

I would suggest putting everything by that writer "on high priority" He is known for it, though I've personally only played this one among his games, which indeed had multiple parting endings, including the true end:
Edit: actually, it's not really parting endings, just sad endings where the protag doesn't care about the heroine much.

Not entirely, but in many ways:
P.S. I can't help but feel sarcasm from your thread, are you sure these aren't going on your blacklist?

Wondering, which game made you feel this way?
Of the games on the list, I liked December without Angels/Tenshi no Inai 12-Gatsu (though generally not all that highly-regarded),
but I can't remember off the top of my head any ending where the MC and heroine are actually apart (then again, neither do they tend to be 'together', per se).
Oh, there was that one
But I don't think that counts as a parting ending.

This question doesn't make sense to me. How are you contrasting a game with romantic heroine routes and being forced to pick only one girl? The route structure is
Don't read Chaos;Child if you want a stress-free romance. Read it if you liked Chaos;Head and want something similar.

Ah, I got it. They want to tell me, if white guy wears a black coat, so everyone will think he is a black man(who good at penetrating).
Good to know.

They even changed image translation ON bat after last patch.
Why you ask? It is simple. Look at protagonist name. Asaba. Asa-ba-ka. Asa-ba-t.
Bat can be mean as idiot, referring to

 

I don't think they are using machine translation. Just ching-chong english.
Did you know in China some people using english language? Thats why they even include english in some console games with same translation. SAO HF for example:
 
I mean MT is on much worse level. But yes, even that way is unacceptable for official release.
 
At least they are not cuting/censore it like moenovel or NISA(god I hate them!)...

No, I think you're confusing "shit" with "not happy". It's just plain shit.
Despite that, it's still shit.

You sure?
 
I don't know about you, but I don't see any logical sense to this ending.
Simple is best. if they call it a GOOD or HAPPY ending, it MUST BE GOOD OR HAPPY.
 

So far it's definitely not bad. A bit of Moe is always good for the soul.

Hi there! I'm so sorry I didn't check Fuwanovel until today!
Just as a note, I own Sol Press. We're building Sol from the beginning to directly communicate with the community. Anyone can contact me when i'm awake on discord (Xeviax#9453) since I use that for a lot of my communications. If you want to communicate with any specific members of the team about your concern (such as the editor or translator), you can send me a message and i'll connect you to them.
The website is without a doubt old. We were originally planning on only doing light novels and manga, which is why the site looks like it was specifically designed for that. We've since updated the VN portion of the site to directly link to the project page. I saw @littleshogun and @novurdim mention volumes, and this was just a byproduct of that book system.
We've updated the about us page to more accurately reflect our company goals. I have had the exact same complaints as most of you, which is the main reason for starting this company up.
You guys can ask me any questions. As long as it's not confidential, I am more than willing to answer anything!
 
Also, if you're wondering why I don't have a picture up on the about us page yet, it may be because I'm ugly and am getting some professional photos taken tomorrow to try to hide that.

Btw, they also want translate a FD for that game, and still thinking about Hoshi Ori.
I must say, this is quite a work...Good luck for them anyway, they have a good taste.

Also, i presume they already did a trial translation?
