Update #1: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/fatal-twelve-a-thrilling-mystery-vn-with-full-voic/posts/1833870?ref=backer_project_update You read right, Shipping is FREE until the campaign reach it's funding goal of 35,000 USD, after that you will have to pay for shipping. As of right now the funding is at 21,380 USD already, so you better hurry up and put a pledge in to get FREE SHIPPING while you still can: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/fatal-twelve-a-thrilling-mystery-vn-with-full-voic

That. But when I went on MangaGamer storefront, that crosdressing game that they released was usually number 1 of the sales though, at least around the time when it was released.

Fuck off with your fake outrage bullshit, you're just a shit-stirring hipster who enjoy making up drama out of thin air. This is a japanese VN, of course it would have japanese audio. aiueoKompany is Japanese dev and their last title "Sound of Drop -fall into poison" didn't have any voice acting, but for their next title "Fatal Twelve" they aim to have voice acting.

You won't be able to get the physical rewards afterwards if you miss this one out though, the other thing you can do is put down 1 USD and then upgrade your pledge and/or add add-ons through Backerkit when you have the money.

Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/fatal-twelve-a-thrilling-mystery-vn-with-full-voic It's a 34 days campaign. aiueoKompany is the developer of "Sound of Drop -fall into poison-" (for the ones interested, you can get a physical copy of that title in english here), but any true VN fan should know that already.

Nothing, the money only gets taken at the end of a Kickstarter and it only gets taken if a project reached it's funding goal.

Oh that sucks, what made the first Grisaia campaign so successful was basically the word of mouth spreading on the internet after the video games/anime/manga news sites reported on it, I still visit the same news sites that I visted back in 2014-2015 and I didn't even hear a word from them about Grisaia: Phantom Trigger's campaign launching, while I do remember quite clearly that they heavily reported on Clannad, Grisaia Trilogy, Muv-Luv Trilogy and such. I am guessing a VN Kickstarter campaign isn't such as novelty anymore, aye?

It's the difference in getting the word out. It's obvious that even people who weren't even into VN back in 2014 or 2015 heard that there was a Grisaia, Clannad or Muv-Luv Campaign going on on Kickstarter because otaku-related news sites reported on it, while here with Grisaia Phantom Trigger the only reason I knew it was launching is because I visited Frontwing twitter by chance a few days before the launch of the campaign which had a message on it that gave the date and time during which the campaign will launch. Not everybody is a true VN fan who checks daily Kickstarter's Video Games category in case a new VN project has launched, so obviously this is gonna bring in less people if not alot of people know about it and if potential backers only find out about the campaign a few days/weeks after the campaign has launched. Here is comment taken from Grisaia: Phantom Trigger: Guy is a "superbacker" and backed 61 projects, most of which are VN or VN-related and he only found out of the campaign launch only after it launched.

100% Funded: Hipsternovel – Make Visual Novels Popular in the West So We Can Whine About How Popular They Are!

GET OUT.

30,422 USD in funding after only 5 hours and all of the spots of the Early Bird tiers gone. ~~~ The funding is at 38,975 USD now, they added a few more spots for the Early Birds, only a few spots are left if anyone is interested. ~~~ 50% funded already: https://www.kickstarter.com/activity?ref=user_menu Take that hipsters!

I see, it used to be 3 volumes when Phantom Trigger was originally announced a few months back though.

It is currently planned as being a 3 volume series, there is also the manga adaptation.

The Fruit of Grisaia The Labyrinth of Grisaia The Eden of Grisaia Idol Magical Girl ChiruChiru Michiru The Leisure of Grisaia The Afterglow of Grisaia The Melody of Grisaia Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Except for Phantom Trigger, they are all available as part of the Complete Box that was released in Japan back in January: https://vndb.org/r49197

Kickstarter just launched, here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frontwing/a-grand-entrance-for-new-vn-series-grisaia-phantom It received 12,561 USD only 5 minutes after it launched, which is 15% of it's 80,000 USD funding goal. Update: The 85 USD Early Bird tier is going very quickly, there is only 63 spots left only 10 minutes after the campaign launch. The funding is at 15,509 USD now.

As the thread title says, the Kickstarter starts at 6:00 PM PST.

Not really, it's still part of the mod that aims to turn MangaGamer Higurashi into Sui, see what they say:

What that? This is not new, it's been going on since MangaGamer released Onikakushi. There is also an actual PC port of Umineko PS3 if you are interested.

Well I am sure it is less if you click click click through the whole thing while skipping voices, otherwise it is about 8 hours in auto-read mode. Anyway most people on fuwa tend to shorten the length of VN, like that guy who claimed that Steins;Gate was 25 hours long...

Corona Blossom was about 8 hours long per volume.

Talking about mobile, Romancing Saga 2 is still mobile exclusive in the West, while it's been released for awhile on the Vita too in Japan, same thing with the Chaos Rings games, all 3 games have been translated in english, yet none of them have been released for the Vita despite the fact that these games have been released on the Vita in Japan.

No this is complete nonsense, for one being an unlocalized game does not automatically make a game "good", I am not Moogy, so don't make stuff up if you don't understand what I am saying. But it is just fact that the Vita has a decent library and good support in Japan, on the other hand Sony gave up on the Western Vita around 2015 (their last titles Oreshika and Soul Sacrifice Delta were digital-only too in the West, just goes to show how bad the support is in the West), while Japan is still receiving a good amount of titles which adds to it's already plentiful library, while the West is struggling with only a few games per year most of which are just multiplatform titles which can easily be obtained elsewhere, one has only to look and compare the release schedule: Japan: https://www.gamefaqs.com/vita/upcoming/2-japan (only cover release schedule until early July) The West: https://www.gamefaqs.com/vita/upcoming/3-europe (this covers the releases till the end of September) Problem is, even if the Vita has a good library in Japan, it is of little value to us who can't speak Japanese, so we are stuck with the Western library. Root Letter is not a PS Vita exclusive? It's on PS4 and PS Vita.
