    Formlose Gestalt got a reaction from Happiness+ in What are some new JVNs coming out this year?   
    I thought you mean VN coming out in Japan this year.
     
    But here are some VN that should receive an English release this year:
    - Marco & Galaxy Dragon (Release is February 28th)
    - YOU and ME and HER aka Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi. aka Totono (supposed to release in February)
    - Senren * Banka (Early this year, 90% translated)
    - Hello Lady! (Early this year, after Senren Banka, 99% translated)
    - Making*Lovers (After Senren Banka & Hello Lady, 100% translated)
    - Master Magistrate (Last I heard was a release around may)
    - ATRI -My Dear Moments- (Slated to release this year)
    - Adabana Odd Tales (Slated to release this year)
    - Clockwork Ley-Line Part 2+3 (Should release this year)
    - Nukitashi (was supposed to come out in 2019, so chances are it will happen this year; it is 66% translated)
    - Majikoi (Should come out this year, was supposed to release last year, preorders are already up)
    - Meteor World Actor (If steam let's them release...)
     
    I left out Mangagamer since they release one VN every month and only announce the next one in advance. But they have multiple project that are 100% translated (or are even further along) and should come out this year like Sona-Nyl or Sakuranomori Dreamers . Complete list is here: http://blog.mangagamer.org/project-status/

    There are two official Discords if think you should add.
    - Shira
    Shira is currently translating Master Magistrate for Hobibox/DMM and since they are working with them they sometimes post news/info about Hobibox/DMM related projects like the translation of Marco & The Galaxy Dragon.

    - Nextension
    The official Discord for Nexton for communication with their western fans.
    Last year they had an poll for what people want localized from them and recently they been working on making merchandise avaible for their western fans.

    They just released Baldr Sky which is a pretty great release. (Even though I haven't played it yet.) And in september they released Nanairo Reincarnation that I really enjoyed. And its not like that where their only releases in the last few months.

    Marco and the Galaxy Dragon
    Hobibox and Tokyotoon  have uploaded an english demo for the upcoming VN to Steam.
    Steam link:
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1202540/Marco__The_Galaxy_Dragon/
     
    The VN is set to release 28 February 2020. And this is worldwide release date.
    Tokyotoon seems to be a spinoff of Harukaze known for there Noratoto games. The character designer seems to be the same as in Noratoto and this time it is an All Age release so there is no censorship.
    From what I have seen from the demo the budget is pretty high, with tons of CGs and even anime cutscenes (even though they are SD).
    I am not the best to judge the translation quality, but since there is an option to turn on Japanese subtitles (or have both at the same time), people that know Japanese can take a look at it.
    But the story is pretty crazy with a girl that gets kidnaped by aliens, to become intergalatic treasure hunter and return to earth. It's pretty over the top.
    Opening:
     
    Just wanted to to share this here. I think it could be an interesting title, even though it is not really my type of humor.

    The blog post is very thorough in what was changed so you should give it a read.
    But here is the TL:DR: About 4% of lines had to be removed, including explicit sex scenes and lines referencing explicit details.

    It's sad that GIGA insisted that they could not release a uncut version but here we are. This still doesn't rule out an unofficial uncensor patch. So that chance still remains.

    AI: The Somnium Files is 59,99 $/€ on Steam so there is that.  I mean $50 definitely looks a bit pricey compared to the usual prices but to be fair it is two VNs in one package. In Japan Dive 1 and 2 where separate games, so $25 for a really long VN (100h+ for both together) doesn't seem unfair. The cut content is another topic altogether, but I think there is still chance that we get a 18+ patch maybe in a unofficial capacity, so I wouldn't rule it out completely yet.
     
    Oh just read that tweet:
    https://twitter.com/dobacco/status/1207093502267363329
    Apparently GIGA wanted to sell the game for $75...

    The long wait is coming to an end! The Steam page for Baldr Sky is finally up and it's set to release on December 20th!.
    After the announcement at AX2016 and 3 years of wait we are finally getting Baldr Sky.
    https://twitter.com/sekaiproject/status/1206997341095387136
     
    Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/741140/Baldr_Sky/
    Unofficial Uncensor Patch: https://pastebin.com/PvNB7ZNY
     
    And this release is going to combine both Baldr Sky Dive1 “Lost Memory” and Baldr Sky Dive2 “Recordare”.
    Earlier this year it has been said that Sekai Project is aiming for a release in 2019 so finger crossed that it still happens this month. (It did!)
    Opening for Baldr Sky Dive1 “Lost Memory”
    For those that haven't heard of Baldr Sky other the years, it is highly acclaimed work that mixes VN storytelling with an action gameplay system.
    Here is an example of the gameplay:
     
    And Sekai Project descirbes the game on their Steam page as follows:
     
    The translation was done (in part?) by Steiner (https://twitter.com/DistantValhalla)
    While Doddler  (https://twitter.com/The_Doddler) worked on the technical side and even implemented achievements
     
    Now to address the elephant in the room. Baldr Sky was an 18+ release in Japan an never had an All Age release, but so far Sekai Project hasn't said anything about an 18+ release or a patch so for now I think it is unlikely that we get those. If this changes I am going to update this post.
    EDIT: There wont be an official 18+ release or an official uncensor patch for Baldr Sky.
    The details and the scope of the changes can be read here: https://sekaiproject.com/blogs/news/baldr-sky-changes
    There is still a chance that we can get an unofficial uncensor patch, and indeed there has been an announcement for this which can be read here . But we have to wait and see if it actually happens.
    Unofficial Patch is already out: https://pastebin.com/PvNB7ZNY
     
     
    Having said that I am pretty hyped about Baldr Sky since it is on of those VNs that have always been talked about and been highly praised by those that read the Japanese version. The cyberpunk setting seems like something I would really enjoy and it's pretty rare in the VN space, so I am going to buy whether it gets an 18+ release or not.

    If I recall correctly, this translation was the very reason why picked up this project in the first place.

    It took a bit longer than expected, but Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi. (YOU and ME and HER) is set to release in February next year!
    You can pre-order the physical release on J-List:
    https://www.jlist.com/NP005
    Announced at AX2018 with the goal to release before AX2019, the last we heard was that it should release this year. Now it's set to release in February 2020 but at least we have something more concrete. For those who say, yeah but it was the same with Majikoi and that still hasn't released, on Discord it was said: "Regarding delays. We understand the frustration it causes you guys, but, can only say that, every game is a different project" So hopefully Totono will release in February 2020.

    Formlose Gestalt got a reaction from ChaosRaven in /cast Revive @ Sprite   
    From what I read they decided to stop making VNs and moved on to other things, so they never needed to declare bankruptcy or anything like that and of course never run out of money. It's anyone's guess how profitable Aokana was, but the curios things is if I remember correctly they sold their IP when they left the VN scene and said back then " that it is not possible to "revive" the company", maybe that was a misunderstanding or the situation has changed since then.
    Here is a link to a news article from back then:
