I've finished the basic info images.  I'm starting work on the menu images and I'll try to do them till the end of the month.

Hello everyone,
I'm here with the first update of this year .
I've finished my first playthrough of Kami no Rhapsody. And that also means I've finished translating the game on Lavirie's route (Yay!)
Now, I'll go through my second playthrough for Mistoria's route, the appends and the New Game+ contents. I'll take this chance to translate the information screen and some other side texts as well.
On a different note, I can't believe I've been doing this for a year already lol. At first, it was just a small project I started to improve my Japanese. But now, it has become a full project aiming to release a full patch for the game XD. Well, I'm having fun so I guess it all worked out ?
In any case, I'm very grateful that there are so many people supporting this project. I'll try my best to give you the patch you've all been waiting for (hopefully, within this year )

That's about it this time.
Thank you very much for reading and for your support over the last year. Though it's a bit late, Happy New Year everyone ^^.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your encouraging words ^^. Though it's not easy, it's been really fun. I didn't think I could get into it this much when I first started XD.
About the progress, it's going well, I guess? I've been quite busy with my studies so I can't spend as much time translating as before, but I still try to do it as much as I can. I just finished with the translation for chapter 5 the other day. I'll move on to chapter 6 soon.
As for the Interface, I'm currently trying to combine my translation with ZAP Interface Translation patch. The patch already has most of the images and interfaces translated. With that said, there are places where the translations aren't good enough, so I've sent them back to ZAP and ask them to edit my translation in. I'm still waiting for their reply at the moment.
I don't want to ask you to do something I've already asked someone else, so for now, I think I'll see how things are on ZAP side. If they aren't able to do it, I'll ask you for your help then.
Still, thank you very much for your offer ^^.

Hello everyone.
There's no patch update this time, but there's something I want to announce.
First of all, chapter 3 patch won't be coming out this week. I'm very sorry about this.
However, here's the good news: Mr Poltroon has volunteered to become the editor for this "project?". Since my English is not very good, having his help will surely improve the translation quality. While it'll take some more time for the patch to come out now, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
To everyone who has downloaded the patch, thank you very much ^^. Please look forward to our next patch.
Before ending this announcement, I want to express my gratitude to Mr Poltroon:
Thank you very much for becoming the editor for this project. Let's do our best and make this the best patch we can ^^.
That's it for now. Thank you for reading!

I feel like I'm the only person in the universe who finds Trump amusing in many ways, while not supporting him. It's like everyone else is either a crazy Trump supporter who talks in memes and worships the man, or they hate Trump with a fervor and distrust anyone for whom revulsion isn't their primary attitude toward Trump.
Also, lately I've been fixated on the idea of a moe version of Trump, like "My Girlfriend is the President" except more directly based on actual personality traits. Because there's such an insane number of weird stuff Trump does and says. Think about it. "covfefe" would be the equivalent of "uguu". His stupid nicknames for everyone. His smug obsessions with walls and deals. So much of this stuff is appalling to see in a grown man, but I honestly think it could be endearing in a moe character. Basically some combination of Suzumiya Haruhi (charismatic, unreasonable, rampaging) and Aqua from Konosuba (irresponsible, vain, obsessed with her own personal philosophy and deeply fond of her worshipers). Am I broken?

Looks interesting. The art seems good, but we cant really comment on the summary alone.

Produced by MIYU Studio, MIYU is an upcoming commercial episodic kinetic visual novel about depression, mental health awareness, time, space, life and love.
One fateful night you’re walking along the beach a few days before your vacation finishes and you see a girl standing by herself. Not wanting to leave her alone you decide to interact with her. For this one simple action it catches the attention of Yahdeus the God Of Gods, it leads to a domino effect that changes your life forever and also the world.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES


* Please check back around 3/31/2019 for the next update!



FUTURE PLANS: 

Demo, Kickstarter, Website Episode 2, Patreon for future projects


NOTE:


MIYU is an episodic kinectic visual novel that will be broken up to 5 parts.
The writing for part 1 is around 60% done.
It needs a significant amount of editing and proofreading,
but I’m hoping this story should be released in late July/August.
The character art that is currently displayed is a place holder until future notice when I am able to swap them out for the final character art.
The story will be commercial and should cost around $6.99
For more updates please check this post weekly for weekly updates. 
I am hoping to have a demo done in a month.
Tell me what you think about what is shown so far.
We will soon have a website completed for the project.

Did you have to go about basically saying "fuck you and what I assume is your laziness"? It's clear the dude just wants to read it in any form since translation progress has gotten to the point where like a pc would say "too long to estimate" on the download estimate. Laziness? for what, not learning an entire language? How is reading it with machine translation a lack of respect?(If anything, it's showing his respect to the series by suffering through MTL because he wants more.) It isn't like he is going to release a MTL patch or something. 
And no, I am not buddy buddy with him, though I do know that this little outburst of yours was pretty childish and just unwarranted in general.

Hello there, I am Ztrepzilius. Some redditors suggest me to use this forum because reddit filters are more sensitive and comments could be buried in older thread. I spend more time lurking than posting stuffs for any medium, looking for gems in the over-saturated world. I don't consume many VNs in comparison to other medium. It's because there are lack of VNs with storyline that interest me rather than the VN itself. Visual novel reminded me of some point-click-adventure games, movie games and gamebook(choose your own adventure books) I played decades ago. I get introduce into VN medium by anime adaption and some lewd image. 

BTW, who the hell are you guys?

I just wanted to say hi.

Subrashiki Hibi only sold about ~2k copies.
Also there was the confirmation from SCA-DI himself way back then:
Basically Subarashiki Hibi that came out on the 30th August 2017 sold ~4.5k copies less than the All-Ages version of Littler Busters which came out on the 1st November 2017, in any case if it's not obvious it should be mentioned that both are terrible sale numbers.
After this, I don't think that Makura are gonna be too eager to release in the West the definitive version of Subarashiki Hibi anytime soon, nor one of the other best VN ever made, Sakura no Uta.

telling you anything about takuji in depth can spoil the entire story. just know that there's a reason for everyone acting the way they are.

Unrelated to the topic, but I'm afraid you have a very poor understanding of what science is. Science does not "tell" people anything; it's a process based on experimentation, empiricism, and induction that people interpret. The reason why our understanding of the world keeps changing is because science itself is based on constant reiterations of experiments to get more accurate results. I mean, the human mind is still pretty limited, so the technology and methodology we create won't get all the answers, so we have to check things over and over and push ourselves to experiment more. If we didn't, we wouldn't be as advanced as we are today.
 
Back on topic: As other people have said, the way we perceive porn and sexuality is a lot more nuanced than we realize. It's very deeply ingrained within our psychology, and due to pressure from culture, it gets molded and repressed into numerous forms. Ignoring the sex aspect of it, if you try to simplify what ntr is, it's a power struggle between 3 people: the thief, the one being thieved, and the one being thieved from. Theft is a type of violence, specifically, violence towards someone's property. From this, we can glean two things: ntr can be understood in terms of violence, and the one being thieved is acting as an object.
Humans are predisposed to fascination with violence. Most of our history is based on war, ingroups/outgroups, and competition. We fill fiction with all sorts of violent content. The entire appeal of storytelling relies on overcoming a conflict. It's easy for us to laugh at other people's suffering, and we are more than happy to ostracize and bully those who are weak and estranged. Sexuality is also affected by this (even in other animals): specimens fighting each other for a mate, aggression during copulation, killing or neglecting children sired by another, isolation of sexually deviant specimens, shaming, the list goes on and on. Violence is thrilling to us, so we go out of our way to seek it. With ntr, it's easy to see what role it plays. It's the thrill of seeing something ripped away from where we think it's supposed to be and watching it being ruined and corrupted. These stories often involve rape, mindbreak, torture, depression, and jealousy.
People have a multitude of ways of responding to this. In my experience, only a minority of ntr consumers are actually masochistic. The violence in ntr can also be enjoyed through schadenfreude. People love watching the girl getting destroyed, the cuck fall into despair, and the sheer brutality of partner stealing. From this perspective, it's not weird or deviant at all. It's pretty normal to love seeing others get hurt.
Something that particularly interests me is the fixation on the cuck's depression and jealousy rather than the girl's suffering. I've met a lot of hentai fans that enjoy seeing girls getting hurt in sexual situations to the point where female suffering is practically accepted as normal within hentai circles. I've seen many people praise netori despite it also being based on cheating. I think this reveals a lot about how people perceive the pain of others. Humans are inherently selfish, and we interpret the world according to our own interests. People are projecting and equating themselves onto the cuck and get frustrated when they don't act the way they imagine how they would act. They interpret the fiction according to their own reality, and it in turn reflects the way they perceive the world.
 
wait what the fuck am i even talking about. pretty sure im just rambling at this point, sorry for the long post ._.
