How much I enjoy a long common route naturally depends on the quality of the visual novel. As long as I don't find a visual novel boring, I much prefer a long common route to a shorter one. A long common route gives more time to world building, character building, and makes for a more organic segue into the character specific routes (or at least generally speaking). If I had to pick one over the other, I guess I would say I would prefer a game to have a long common route as opposed to a short one. Ultimately, you can always use the skip function or load a save after all.
 
I enjoyed Grisaia's common route in particular. The humor never fell flat and each scene developed my impression/interest of Mihama Academy's student body. This might sound strange, but I was actually a bit bummed when the common route concluded.

I guess it's time to make an update. I've been behind on the editing since I just started a new job and my composition class is about to finish in a week so there's been a lot of school work and online work to do. I'm 50% done but I need to re-edit what I've done so I'll finish in a week or two. Hopefully.
 

yay for a censored version and reusing the translation that was available already.

SP

If there was, I'm pretty sure I'd hate them instantly.

FAQ:
Q: Why so many TBAs?
A: Things are subject to change at this stage, so until things have settled in I'm leaving it as TBA. Also waiting for script count.
 
Q: Expected release date?
A: Too far off to say for certain.
 
Q: Will you be translating the sequel as well?
A: Most likely.
 
Q: Does this mean you gave up on Clover Day's?
A: No, progress is still moving. Working on the same game every waking moment gets kind of stale. I'm going to be working on this for a change of pace. This won't hinder the progress of Clover Day's much, as I have a bit of downtime while I wait for other people in the team to finish work.
 
Q: Best girl?
A:

I've already accepted SP as an all ages store, that's fine, as long as they make the 18+ version of their games available on Denpasoft.
It doesn't hurt anyone to have 2 separate sites and it's beneficial for the company for multiple reasons, although I personally think they manage Denpasoft poorly by always releasing things way later on it. Imo it should be simultaneous, that way you'd likely spare yourself a big chunk of the hate from the community that you're essentially ignoring when you focus solely on the all ages port and then months later you bring up the 18+ version.
The eroge community is still a viable market and they deserve attention as potential costumers too.

Okay, I wanted to respond earlier, but got swamped with work.
 
I'm glad to see another fan of kitsune and miko outfits~
 
It just so happens I've actually bought Tenkiame a while ago and I'm loving every second of it. I have to admit, when I came upon the first news about the game, I instantly feel in love with it and couldn't wait for release. The game had that something special - perhaps it was the setting, characters and quality; maybe it was the overall atmosphere (the game is quite similiar to Monobeno in that manner), or a mixture of all of them. At first glance you might think it's no different than any moege, but this game is actually a classic, laidback slice of life romance drama with japanese folklore and supernatural elements. You may argue it's not really that special - and that might be true, as decent the game remains, but it's incredibly good at what it aims to be. Right now I am certain Sun Shower is definately the best August release and possibly, one of the best vn's released in a longer while.
 
Regarding translation... I was curious myself, therefore I took the game apart. To be honest, Sun Shower really deserves to be translated and I'd be glad to see that happen as well. On the other hand, I'm not really the kind of person, that sits doing nothing; especially, when it's about things I adore. In the end, I decided to give it a try.
 
And this is the result:
 

 

 

 
Some screenshots I did during the testing, along with a quick translation.
 
It didn't took me long to figure it out. Game uses SystemC along with E-mote plugin for the live animations. I'll be honest - Tenkiame would be incredibly easy to translate. The only troublesome thing I found about the game was the data repacking, but I guess nothing's impossible when you're so madly in love with your resident fox girls. So yeah, here you have it. Unfortunately, I don't really feel proficient enough to tackle the translation myself, but I'm willing to help anyone serious enough to start a translation project.
 
Aside from that, Tenkiame has literally everything I need:
Kitsune + cheerful imouto + sweet older sister + shrine maiden outfits + countryside + folklore
 
Is this how true happiness looks like?

Thanks.
 
Going to announce here that translation for the Ichika route was finished today.
 
We're finally out of hell boys!
 
(Not really. It's just me who dislikes that route.)

Aaaaand the Translation is done

Well I was waiting for Astro to update this thread but I may as well post myself since he hasn't in a while, though he did update the website.
 
I've joined this project as a translator and so far have "signed up" to do Tsubame's route.
 
I'm already about 40% of the way through it and I gotta say, she's blowing my mind. It'll probably only take me 3 months to get through her entire route since it's so enjoyable.

Good luck and keep up with the projekt.

After that conversation with Arunaru, we've have established that it's pretty likely that Daiteikoku will get an official release by MangaGamer, so this translation project has been rendered obsolete. though myself and Lost/逸れた are planning on moving onto translating Asuseka (Soshite Ashita no Sekai yori). I hope everyone respects our decision to do this after it has come to light that both it is likely that the game will get an official translation and that if this project advanced and released a patch, it would probably have been C&D. This translation project will remain on the translation board until 12/09/15 to let everyone know about the project. Have a good day everyone!

From the creators of Aselia the Eternal and Yumina the Ethereal comes Seinarukana, the sequel to Aselia. Set in the same world but with an all-new cast, Seinarukana is a highly rated and respected H-RPG/VN hybrid. The gameplay resembles Ogre Battle a little where you order multiple parties around to fight for control over a larger map, capturing towns and harvesting resources. From what I know, playing Aselia first is optional. Description gracelessly stolen from VNDB (thanks sanahtlig!):

 This game's translation has been in the works for a very long time, and after years of delays and poorly scheduled development, it's finally releasing. When? This month! Maybe early next! But it's really soon! Seriously, its release is actually imminent. Not that you'd know this unless you were REALLY closely paying attention. But at AX JAST announced that it would be released this September. And, well, it's September! When Shiny Days was delayed, someone asked JAST if Seinarukana was still on track for September, and they basically reaffirmed it. Their project status page says that all they have left to do is produce some of the Limited Edition goodies and they'll be ready to ship. I'm still not fully confident that it will be out this month just because it's JAST and you never know with them, but it's seriously not going to take much longer. 
 
So where are the preorders? The PR push? Any marketing at all, even simple tweets? You've got me. Shiny Days and Starless were preceded by months of promotional tweeting, which isn't that big of a deal but at least it's something. JAST is taking the bold strategy of "release the game and tell no one about it until it happens." Ask Sega how well that worked with the Saturn. I wonder how salty the translator Aroduc will get over this, considering his reaction to Romanesque's release. My guess is that they don't want to get hopes up with pre-release hype and then get hit by even more backlash if something unexpected happens and they're forced to delay. But that doesn't really explain the complete radio silence. They really ought to be telling people about this game. Because it's good! And people deserve to know about it, and it deserves to sell well! Aroduc is a solid translator and his work should be rewarded! So I guess I'm here to do the job JAST won't.
 
And yes, yes, you can unleash all of your jokes about how this game is never getting released, JAST time, etc. But also feel free to actually talk about the game. These dark times are finally coming to an end.

There are 2 possible scenarios. They start the marketing after Shiny Days release or its getting delayed a few months.
And yes there could be a third option aka jast is dumb and dont marketing the game at all but i rule that scenario out for now.
