Mr Poltroon

Can we have creepy Makina face?

I guess I could settle for .
 

I noticed. Spiffing job! (all dat spam, wat if i get banned?  )

I've got a full list prepared, don't worry. The problem is that I don't want to PM the wrong people, and most on that list are based on usernames we found in the staff section from various projects that matched those of some members on this forum, leading to the possibility they may be just plain wrong.
This is totally just to save us work, I'm not expecting anyone to really post here.
  Wait, you're an editor?! 

This is probably more disheartening to SP than to us, tbh. Can't imagine how hard that hit them. Anyway, even if it's not the complete package, I will still back it.
 
I was reading reddit thread about this and I found this comment to share perfectly how I see things. Both of them were made by LeafCascade, so credits to him for writing this.
 
At first I was about to get really mad at you guys for going "MUH PORN", but I can see the problem. It's bothering me too now. I personally don't give two shits about losing the h-content, but if they're going to cut out other dialogue/scenes, I can't help but to feel that we will be missing out on things, especially in Meikyuu and Rakuen.
But then again:
As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, I have no doubts about that there'll be patches to restore the cut out content. Someone will find a way. And even if they don't, well... regardless, the 18+ versions will be released anyway, it just won't be through the Kickstarter (is how I've understood it), but only if the Kickstarter is successful.
While this will have an impact on the magnitude of the Kickstarter's success, this is after all Grisaia. I really don't see 160k being difficult to achieve, especially not with how the Clannad KS is going.
All in all: if you want the sequels in English, you're going to have to contribute. If you feel the censorship will ruin the VNs for you, to the point where you'd rather have nothing at all - go ahead, don't contribute, but make sure you know what you're doing by taking this stance; I imagine the sequels won't be translated for many years, if ever, even, if this KS does not succeed.
As western VN fans I don't feel like we can get caught up on things like this, we don't have the luxury to. We either move forward or we won't be getting anywhere.
 
A couple of months ago, I had given up on playing the sequels completely, and I simply feel very lucky to be given the chance to get them translated. It seems people are forgetting what we'd be stuck with if it weren't for SP.
As far as I can tell, pornographic material isn't even allowed to be Kickstarted per their policies, so it really isn't that huge of a surprise - I did expect the 18+ version to be downloadable off-site or something, though. I think part of the problem lies here. As for Japanese companies thinking "we" only want all-ages content, who knows. But it seems we'll have to change the method of funding if we want to change direction.
Anyway, this is just how I feel right now, and I'm sure as soon as new information comes to light I'll change my opinion accordingly.
EDIT: I don't have any solutions to this, or any understanding of what SP can do regarding negotiations etc. I just don't want to ruin this chance we've been given by making a nuisance of ourselves to Frontwing over 18+ material. Damaging relationships is the last thing we'll want to do.

I'll be honest here, I misunderstood it so much you wouldn't believe it.
 
I thought you were supposed to take a photo of a photo where you signed over it. Something like that.
The kind of thing common sense wouldn't let through but since I lack any kind of semblance to common sense I somehow come up with this kind of stupidity.

So I can make some crappy pancakes and have the same chance of winning as somebody who made a four-tiered cake?

The atmosphere is quite different over there because of it :3

It's never too early for a Merry Christmas.

No harm, no foul.  Gotta say, though, that moment also blew my mind.  My head was full of wut for hours afterwards.  The writers for Sharin are such trolls.

Props to Fiddle for making this thread,
and for his avatar, I mean look how much painstaking effort he put into adding that Santa hat

I'm convinced. DESTROY THE EMOTICONS (except Waluigi, I'm on board with that one).
But really I would limit the number of emoticons and their trollishness to something reasonable

Good luck to everyone who will be participating.

If My Heart Had Wings: Enjoyed all routes, but no route suprised me.
 
Little Busters!: Haruka's route surprised me. I was annoyed by her character during common route but after going through her route and learning about what she went through and all that I deemed her best girl 
 
Rewrite: Lucia's route was my favorite... But Shizuru's route surprised me the most in the shock aspect


 
Steins;Gate: Obviously true route was very intriguing, but I'll give a special mention to a little something that suprised (or rather, disturbed) me in Suzuha's 'route'.



 
Chaos;Head: N/A
 
Grisaia no Kajitsu: Amane. Angelic Howl is self-explanatory.
 
G-Senjou no Maou: all character's BAD endings.  


Hoshizora no Memoria: Komomo             

I think someone mentioned, somewhere, how we were looking to retain the style of the original emoticons...?
Must've just been my imagination. 

Thanks Run! I wasn't able to fully comprehend the prizes from the pictures. The 9 minute video sure cleared things up for me though. 

HYPE
 
I must say though, dem clothes man. These characters are way more... Revealing than anything Key has ever made. Just look at that bra 0_0

(It was actually a scam attempting to fool you into liking it. He's an erudite man where it concerns human psychology)
 
 
Downloading this patch as charity. You get +1 download. Enjoy.
Now, where did I put that garbage bin...?

Update 5/15:
Miyako route translation (Dowolf) at 100%
 
 
 
Kosuna and I agreed to just use Dowolf's translation, as Kosuna is not at the same level in neither English nor Japanese.

That Majikoi S is making my mouth water. Do want.
