Mr Poltroon

I was really hyped when I saw that this VN get localized. It'll be a day one buy for me when it's released.
It pretty much combines all the things I like: murder mystery, Japanese history and knight girls.
I was even thinking about reading the Japanese version, but fortunately that won't be necessary anymore.

Um, who are you? If you don’t mind, I’m waiting for a reply from my good friend Tiago. I’m sure he’ll be back soon, it’s only been three years. 

I 100%'d this game. And quite loved it, in fact. Yes, weeb stylistic choices and all that, but I was otherwise fond of the writing.
Super cynical view on the idol industry, but all is well because Starnova represents the good side and they always win in the end (Bad ends? What's that? Can you eat those? I skipped through them.).
Even
I mean, this isn't necessarily a commentary on the actual state of the industry or anything. It's an hyperbolic version created specifically to make the main girls an even bigger shining beacon of hope and all that.

This is what'll save the idol industry.

Even if reality tries to get in the way.
But yeah, the girls are good, the producer is good(?), and in stories the good will win in the end.

Sometimes it's more like this, but whatever.

Ah, well.

Kind of.

Honestly you didn't really need to make a clickbait title here for a meme unless you changed your opinion on Little Busters dramatically, because after all you already firmed with your opinion there and nothing should change that. But I'd appreciate your early April Fool joke here (20 days early), and if anything at least you still on your opinion instead of changing it.
PS - Since you rate Sakura Spirit better than Little Busters, back then I thought you would rate Sakura Santa higher than Little Busters only to find out that you rate the former as 1/10. Just want to say it.

I regret nothing

Hm. I'm actually glad to hear this. I really might try it, then.
That said, I have Steam Prison to get through. This forum's lacking in posts about japanese otome games lately.

Well, this is something I've always wanted.
But now that I know it exists, I'm too afraid to go ahead with it, given the tone of the original by the end. I wonder why I have such a bias against fanworks when I make fanworks myself.

We can't know for sure.
And what I meant, is that I really like finding playthroughs of obscure VNs and the fact there's only one on your channel... Regrettable. Shameful even. Record more.
 
 
 
If you ever feel like it, that is. No pressure. :<

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.
I think I recorded like 20 minutes of the game, but it was grating on my voice, and I used a grating voice for the main character, so it'd be enjoyable for no one.

I was rummaging through some files on my computer and found this from last year:

Sharing it since I can. Have a that.
(Supposedly a video. Might not work. Oh well.)

I can comment, if it's comments you want.
Here, have a comment wherein I comment about nothing.

Yes! So glad to see this back. I will savour the next 1 to 6 entries for the year.

Thank you so much for these posts.
Some of the better experiences I've had were shorter, more compact or experimental games like these, and yet I still don't put any effort into looking for them. I remain too focused on longer experiences that let me immerse myself in the character interactions for hours. So, thank you for highlighting these!

Lack of proper romance!?!? Absolutely disgusting.
Look at me just skimming those bullet points.

I had no idea it was common knowledge my permissions were traditionally messed up.
Most concerning, this information leakage.
 
Incidentally, my random playlist happened to start playing https://youtu.be/wuoN9MesbW0 just as I was reading the culprit's name. I would feel this is quite a coincidence if my random playlist were not packed full of ace attorney tracks.
 

Well, I fully expect a significant drop in quality to go with your rebranding

I feel exactly the same. What I've heard about the Law Route is pretty much my "storytelling fetish" - I enjoy that kind of "lawful villain/subverting the expectations" fantasies to an unreasonable degree and it is very rarely done in western games... I'm not sure if I've seen a compelling version of it outside of Star Wars: The Old Republic and that game's Sith storylines (I accept recommendations though :p). 
Plus, if I'm planning to avoid the Chaos route altogether I don't think I have to worry about the censorship that much. I might still download the patch to see the consensual h-scenes (lol, how the contrast with tentacle rape can make those seem like a completely innocent/appealing concept ), but either way there's much less risk of the narrative falling apart than if playing the tentacle rape path without tentacle rape... 
BTW, thank you once more @assasinzassasin for talking to us, you did a great job explaining the difficulties of this particular localization process and answering all our questions. I will try to promote your crowdfunding in whatever way I can - and I hope we didn't get you in really heavy trouble for revealing all that stuff. ^^

I am genuinely hyped. It's actually quite strange, considering how much content I am bound to skip.

My biggest regret with this game is, perhaps, that most plotpoints go nowhere. Spoilers follow.
 

*smiles wryly* most producers end up in the Neutral stage at some point.

I've been making a walkthrough as I go, and this is how it looks right now:
You use the talk choices to gain affection with the girl of your choosing. Once you get enough, you unlock a scene with her. Rinse and repeat until you finally lock yourself into her route.
In the meanwhile, there's also a 'common route' thingie where it just plays random daily life scenes as long as you don't lock yourself into a route. These don't reflect any of those choices or girl-specific scenes, since they're more of a generic common route. But that's fine. They're just filler.

This year's best translation.
