The most recent project update says "Since we're nearly to the end of this campaign, we're letting people know that we will also open up a Slacker Backer campaign after the campaign is funded for anyone who wanted to support this campaign but weren't able to for lack of Paypal support." Has anyone used slacker backer before and if so does it allow existing backers to upgrade their tier?

This is just a shot in the dark as I haven't played it, but if you're using an Nvidia graphics card then make sure shadowplay is disabled.

I second the recommendation for Grisaia no Kajitsu. https://vndb.org/v5154 And I'd also recommend... uh... *scrolls through list* *sweats profusely*... well I haven't read it yet, but I believe Loca Love fits what you're looking for. https://vndb.org/v23067 It's available censored on steam, but unlike GnK the steam version has an 18+ patch.

That's what happened for me too. To be honest, I was really upset to realize that I liked Asuka's route more, I was looking forward to voting for Mashiro's route in this poll to give it the love it deserves. Second place gets zero recognition. </3

That's like a Bizarro version of my takeaway from the novel. (Except for the bits about the backgrounds and the supporting cast.)

Thanks for translating. It was a fun read.

After further experimenting I discovered a mistake in my observations. GnM's the Cocoon of Caprice unlocks upon completing Amane's route and all other routes have no bearing on it's unlock.

So at first glance here's how it appears that unlocks work: Bad Ends have no bearing on unlocks. Completing each character route in GnK unlocks their respective afterstory from GnM as well as the short stories from GnM that are focused on them. Completing any one character route in GnK unlocks GnY. Completing any two character routes in GnK unlocks the Cocoon of Caprice from GnM. Completing all five character routes from GnK unlocks the Prologue from GnR. Completing the Cocoon of Caprice from GnM unlocks the Seed of Blanc Aile from GnR as well as GnZ and GnS. Completing the Seed of Blanc Aile from GnR unlocks Eden Afterstory (it will be available as the last option in the short stories section). If anyone can confirm or correct my observations, please let me know.

The switch release of the Grisaia trilogy is now available (at least if your timezone is EST, not quite sure how the switch handles game unlocks.) As a heads up for potential buyers, especially people who've already read the series, it starts with only GnK available and the other novels appear as locked options. I'm not sure whether or not it will require completion of all routes or just one route to progress to the next novel. Also, as far as I can tell, there's only one main title screen (it mimics GnK's title screen) and selecting a specific novel seems to drop you right into the novel without bringing you to that novel's title screen. If you were on the fence about whether to purchase this release or just reread your PC copies, these are some factors to keep in mind.

Is that an unpopular opinion? I haven't talked to many people about the novels, but of my small sample size no one thought GnR was genuinely good.

Y'all read vns? I just save them to my folder then alter my binary file to access the data directly. That said, if I (hypothetically of course) were to read vns, I would say that my time spent with entertainment media is split based on my relative interest level in the current things I am consuming. I'd say I spend on average twenty hours per week consuming entertainment media and on average about 40% of that is spent on reading vns, so about eight hours per week.

I diagnose you with "not sexually attracted to anime boys".

Agreed. I for one was totally hyped for a bishoujo anime that was the length of a battle shounen, but alas it was not to be.

Yes, Grisaia no Kajitsu is good. It's easily my second favorite vn I've read, probably even my second favorite work fiction. I'm not quite sure why you pluralized "visual novel" though, GnK is the only Grisaia VN and was the last novel Frontwing made before they shut down. What? Yeah that's definitely what happened, I'm pretty sure I'd remember a long string of disappointments following GnK.

I'm sorry, but I'm finding the structure of your post is making it difficult for me to follow. I appreciate the response regardless.
