Formlose Gestalt

I have many questions.
- "Is this an out of season aprils fool joke?"
- Did someone just need a bit of fresh paint?
- Is this a way to profess his love to her ? (I approve!)
- Is Jast about to release Tokyo Necro? (Please!)

Something went wrong with your post so here is the tweet again:
And the steam link for good measure:

EDIT: Sometimes the tweet isn't been shown and I am unsure what's causing this problem.
So here is the content of the tweet as an quote:
 

Made my Monthly Visual Novels New Recap for October 2019! Lots to talk about including important releases on Steam, a whole bunch of crowdfunding related announcements, the bombshell of announcements related to Muv-Luv and more localization industry controversy.
 
 
 

I'm probably a bit late to the party but I've just noticed that Ouka Sabaki, the novel I kept requesting in surveys, is now available on Steam by the courtecy of some new folks called ShiraVN. If Doddler is to be believed, the TL should be more or less fine so it would be great if they gained a bit more support, poor Magistrate seems to be doing pretty bad for the assumed Ace Attorney: The Eroge right now.
I also remember seeing that ShiraVN have close ties to DMM Games so Magistrate's success (or, well, not a complete failure) just might open up the possibility for a decent official TL of the stuff like Iwaihime, Ryuusei World Actor or, say, DiGination titles. Though currently it feels more like we are drifting away from those possibilities. 
Ah, right, there's also a very weird release format and they pushed it out as the Early Access game. Quoting VNDB page
Sure doesn't look like a wise decision in hindsight. Even though I bought it, even I'm not going to read it in a "three chapters beta" form yet. Oh well, maybe more people will buy a complete version next year (?), who knows, I still have some hope that this will trigger a new player on the market with an actual access to some of the more demanded VNs.

I must say Mangagamer did a good job selling Maggot Baits with their little series of videos:
 
 
 
I think there is a interesting core to Maggot Baits, but I am still probably going to stay away since I have seen the CGs.
Here is a blog post showing waht you can expect of Maggot Baits:

Seiya-Saiga is a known Site for guides:
http://seiya-saiga.com/game/clockup/maggotbaits.html
But I can't tell you how good/acruate the guide is.

I was already pretty pessimistic about the VN industry and it was quite obvious that there where a lot of problems. (Sekai Project having to let go staff, Sol Press comments about piracy, the comments about there not being enough translators and so on.) But it is quite shocking to see these problems being pushed in the spotlight.
Maybe the VN translation business is really not viable in it's current form. Really sad.
And no one can dismiss what he says, there are a lot of people from the VN scene that confirm these problems.

We finally have a proper update!!!
 

For a second, I thought "Wow, that's certainly a new and kinda strange expression", and then I realized I'd somehow managed to slightly bump my TV remote, making the cursor show up on screen in a pretty perfect position.



(the quality's so-so, since I had to take a photo of the screen for the cursor to be visible)

I have heard nowhere that they declared bankruptcy!
In the article that Seraphim88 quoted it states "The official Twitter account for the sprite company revealed on Sunday that the company will cease operations at the end of March, and its "sprite STORE" online store will also close at the same time." Cease operations is not a bankruptcy. In another article it is state that they halted operations.
So their financial situation was never so dire that they had to declare bankruptcy instead they decided to stop and sell their brand (Sprite) and the rights to their games. What is left open for interpretation is if they made a loss with Aokana and decided to stop or if they thought that the profit of Aokana was to small for the effort that they put in and considering the trend for the Vn industry (declining) they decided to stop before they make a loss. But I guess it matter little in the grand scheme of things.
Here are link to the arcticles I am referring to:
