Not him, but it doesn't deliver.

There's a good chance one of them is AoKana...

I wish we would have been able to see Usami in the final cg instead of just the child
But yeah man that ending was just so powerful

Well, there goes the neighborhood.  I wouldn't be surprised if they respond to this by launching more Kickstarters, it brings in a chunk of money up front in exchange for a lot more hassle down the road.  And obviously they're hurting for money.  Companies that aren't hurting for money don't do this.  And wiping out the ENTIRE marketing team is a very questionable long term move.
Look on the bright side: If worst does come to worst, Jast USA has a long history of license rescuing titles from bankrupt localization companies.  There's a decent chance they could clear Sekai's backlog by 2030.  Perhaps the early 2030's.

Over my dead body!

I'm sure Hobibox is also looking for any opportunity to bring more of their unique take on localisation to the West. They may also rescue some titles

Nothing interesting, not that i was surprised by that.

The Order of Restoration presents you with Trample on Schatten uncensoring patch https://mega.nz/#!HxxThYrI!gcJEwW-cwJIiWWnMVLWx_Z3AQgS07mKKUFHtifKeBOA

I knew it! All those Steam engineers where lurking here to see if they could get away with this.
 
But jokes aside it's good that it's fixed/changed again. And hopefully this is not a sign of what is to come with steam.

Man even without the censorship thing Subahibi wasnt gonna sell, its so obvious
Its good but you guys need to realize that just JOPs have this dumb kamige meme doesnt mean its going to appeal to a general audience, especially
If you guys wanted it to sell better, darker VNs like this with older art woulda needed better word of mouth and press and not just staying on a forum talking about what the best JOP visual novel is

What's more puzzling is that developers think that good titles will just sell themselves.  That's not how it works.  You need to find the audience for your game and get them interested in it.  You need to reach out to sites that get a lot of traffic from your audience.  You need the right sales pitch.  You need to convince people that you're worth supporting.  You need a message that will resonate and will get people to chatter about your game.  If you can't be bothered to do any of these things, then you're literally just rolling the dice and hoping some combination of factors beyond your control will align to make your game a success.  Doesn't sound like a good business strategy to me.

Yeah, the Steam page is pretty much an incomprehensible mess - and I see it just like I've said before, as something directed mostly towards people that already know what they're buying, with a chance for a few lucky sales from people intrigued by positive user reviews. As usual, the publisher thought they can just rely on their existing fanbase, without any kind of effort to reach out to anyone else. It's this attitude, among other things, that keeps VNs as isolated as they are now.
Yeah, that pretty much proves my point. I might be a rather open-minded person with decent knowledge of the VN medium, but the "deeply philosophic porn game" is still not something I can that easily wrap your mind around. And it's not like anyone even tries to communicate this properly to the potential buyer. On the Steam page, you have some info about an award it got (I'm sure it tells a lot to a Western reader, "Moe Games Awards" sounds very dignified and dropping the names of artists will also surely captivate people a lot), a few words about how awesome it is and a short plot summary that sounds like pure gibberish. I would never even add it to my wishlist if not the word-of-mouth knowledge about it (which I wouldn't even have if I wasn't this peculiar, double-niche brand of weeb).

Well, the thing is... not everyone thinks this is the "best VN ever made". People have different tastes. Even ignoring the horrible Steam description that does a poor job selling the game, Subahibi is not a game for everyone, for many reasons. It doesn't appeal to the Steam crowd at all. It doesn't matter how great you say it is, I can't see someone that plays VNs mainly for moe anime waifus and ecchi ever thinking this is a masterpiece, even if they do end up buying it.

And it looks very bad....    Steam Link  ... No word on 18+ content 

And it looks very bad....    Steam Link  ... No word on 18+ content 

For me I'll go with the best girl first and save the rest for later. Of course, most of the vn's I've played had three or more girls after the best girl that I liked so I still had the desire to play through all of their routes.

Both of them were have pro and con just like everyone said, so at first this might be hard to choose here. If anything, both of those were have same situation in regard of anime adaptation, namely that both of the anime quite well known for not be able to adapt the VN material properly. That said, both of the VNs there definitely have some good points though, so in the end I guess it's up to you which genre that you're in mood in. For more explanation, if you want some sci-fi and some mind screw then I would suggest you Chaos Head, but if you just want some simple action VN then 11eyes is should be your taste. Keep in mind that the latter did have serious flaw just like Sparteh said, so you may be as well just finished one route only if you've been too busy.

Both of them were bad, so I would go with the one which I consider to be lesser of 2 evils: Chaos;Head. 
I will try to put this without spoilers:
11eyes has multiple routes, however they all differ by only a few scenes including h-scene. Otherwise they are identical. After I read this VN, I sincerely regretted wasting time on it. There is literally nothing worth mentioning about the story or characters. Seriously speaking, OP of VN was worth more than entire VN. Chaos;Head had a great concept, but completely failed in using it. Heck, if you can deal with protagonist being what the rest of the world imagine otakus to be, then the beginning of C;H is pretty decent. Though, it completely shifts its tone later on. However, the main idea/concept was interesting enough. 

See, I brought this up with my director and he checked with that other company whom we have contractual obligations with (I'm just gonna call is company V from now on), they didn't want to risk it so our hands are essentially tied.
IF they cave and let us negotiate a deal with Jlist or something, trust me, I'd be happy to let you guys know. Hell, I want that to happen too.
I realise the allure of mosaic free releases, I brought up that argument while I was still on a probation period before getting hired. So to prevent people pulling out, so to speak, we plan to make this information very clear.

Hmm...To be honest, there are also a few system restrictions considering this game is from like, 2012, so I honestly doubt we can make amazingly huge, crazy changes to it. Extra scenarios, extra CGs etc might still be possible, but something like reworking how the system works is a lil...tough.
 
The tentacle rape is only there if you apply the patch. If you don't, well...You'll find out how Loki gets them on his side in the actual game.
 
Indeed, one twitter user said he won't support us on account of his values or something where he doesn't like the idea that we had to gut the core premise of the game, remove the H, and 'pander' to steam users. 
I...tried my best to talk to the director about this, I really did, but there are just problems that go beyond our own company, Ninetail, when it comes to certain rights or as I said earlier, contractual obligations. I do however know that the director has talked with companies like Jlist or others and I do believe we may have hope for Jlist or similar companies but he says that even if we can, it'll be at a slightly later date while the steam version will come out first, and those who can't wait or are impatient really have no choice. 
Personal opinion though.
I really, really wish this damn NDA wasn't a thing, if I could explain in detail why exactly we are unable to accomodate your(and mine own personal ones tbh) wishes when it comes to this point, you would have more information and possibly be able to understand us as well.
I'll try talking to the director and see if we can maybe divulge information on the prefundia but honestly, I doubt it, because NDAs.

Good Luck guys.. I eagerly wait your TL

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the comments, and for following the project.
If you haven't been keeping up with the spreadsheet, Eris's route has been fully translated as of last week, and is now in the QC/editing process.
I'll be working on the side stories next, before progressing onto the other main chapters. No word yet on a partial patch, but stay tuned!
Cheers.

Game Synopsis
In the middle of summer vacation, the protagonist receives news that his grandfather had fallen ill. Taking the place of his busy parents, he travelled a bit reluctantly to his grandparents’ home. Luckily, his grandfather’s situation wasn’t serious, and he spent time with his grandmother, who he hadn’t seen in a long time. She mentioned that the greenery in the area will soon disappear as it is razed for urban development. He lamented that it was a sign of the times.
As he sat on the porch, feeling the cool breeze and listening to the soothing sound of the swaying wind chimes, he thought it was a very comfortable feeling. He noticed a small girl next to him, basked in the gentle sunlight. He was captivated by her beautiful hair, ears and smile. This is the beginning of a small love story with an innocent and curious white fox and a quiet and meddlesome fox.

INFORMATION
(25/04/2018)
The common route is translated and currently undergoes editing and TLC, translation on the remaining girls' routes began as well. We plan to release the trial version first around this summer, which contains the whole common route. Full patch will follow afterwards. This is also to ensure the final translation will be released as a quality product, since we want to gather feedback after the trial release. The current estimates are rough, as we plan to deliver a polished, self-extracting patch. Either way, it shouldn't take that long, at least not as long as Biman (hopefully)
We want to thank @Arcadeotic and his team. Euphemic Translations will be providing us with additional help and several QC’s that we would’ve needed sooner or later. Big thanks to everyone who is now involved with the translation alongside us.
 
PROGRESS CHART (last update: 19/04/2018)
Common route: script delivered, TL: 100%, currently in editing
Shiro's route: script delivered, TL: ~5%
Kon's Route: script delivered, TL: 0%

Q: Is there any way to know the progress whenever I want?
A: Ask here and we'll answer with the current progress. Alternatively, we will update the progress chart from time to time.
Q: What is your team's translation speed?
A: Bee does 100 lines per day on average except weekends, technically you can calculate the precise amount of days it'll take to complete this translation (we are too lazy to do it ourselves, lol.)
Q: When are you releasing the patch?
A: The translation will be done in a year, more or less, and the patch? No idea, but definitely faster than Biman.
Q: No, but seriously - when will be the patch done?
A: When it's done™
Q: Why aren't you looking for help in regards to more translators?
A: We are trying to avoid that, as it will impact the translation's quality for a game of such length.
Q: Do you even have a team name?
A: Yes, it's "N A N I ? ! Translations."
Q: Do you have a website?
A: Yes, it's up, but it won't be presented until the trial version is out.
Q: Is there any sort of place I can reach you beyond this forum?
A: Yes - we have our own Discord channel, but it's currently not available to the public. We plan to open it after the trial release, though.
Q: Can you show any actual proof that you're translating the game, aka images and stuff?
A: Whenever we can, for now I'll just say that it's something in progress.
Q: Can I donate to you?
A: Better buy the game, when the translation's out.
Q: Will you release a style guide (aka whether "we're taking out honorifics or not", let's get real)?
A: Yes, but once the project is nearer to completion.

I don't know if these recommendation will be alike Just Because anime or not, but let me try on this one. As for the recommendations, I think Dal Segno can be good. Other than that, maybe you can try both of Saku Saku and Wagahigh. I hope my recommendations will be able to help you.
