That's the real question I think. Even if they polish Ixrec's script, they still need to port the games on the Vita, include the localisation, translate and localise and insert any new content, QA them, and I don't think all this can stick in a single year's work.

The porting shouldn't be a problem as they are releasing a Japanese Vita version next year and Japan is likely handling all the Vita programming.

A port was already announced for Japan to go along with the Kickstarter, and I don't think there's going to be any "new content" compared to the all-ages version they're already putting work into.
The Vita porting is not done by them but by the original creators and will be released in Japan earlier than the KS translation. They only need to insert text, QC etc since the porting is already done.
No. $80 secures you a physical Vita copy of the games and that's it. $150 is the collector's box, where you can get physical Vita and digital PC in a single tier.
oopsShould be 2016, unless it came out 1000 years ago.

It's okay, you were time travelling
You sure? I was going off of the little picture in the kickstarter
Also, didn't they say that any pledge of $150 or more will get digital copies of all the stretch goals? AKA a digital copy of the Vita game?
Edit: Can't seem to link the picture, but it's in the Kickstarter Campaign.
$80: physical Vita or physical PC copies. Nothing else.
$150: physical Vita or physical PC copies in a collector's box that allows you to get all the stretch goals as well. With that, you can get a digital Vita copy or a digital PC copy.
Oh, by new content I mean the content that wasn't in the original PC releases which incidentally couldn't have been translated by Ixrec.
I don't think that's the case.

@Carlos you will get to choose between Vita or PC Digital Copy, but please read the FAQ about the things to keep in mind for Vita Digital Copy.

@Lukra CE will just swap the physical copies, everything's just the same
Edit: Actually, it's in the Faq
How much is the add on? Or in the reverse, if I get the CE that holds the Vita version, how much would the add on be for the PC copy?

The CE for the Vita version already gives you a digital copy of the PC version. If you want a physical copy of the PC version too, I'm actually not sure how they're handling that.

Oh neat, I'll probably get digital for PC along with my physical Vita copies. Not a bad deal.
I don't think I understood your question. Are you talking about the $80 or the $150 tier?
calc84maniac

The $80 tier for PC always included a digital copy as well. Degica is pretty awesome like that.
Both.
$80 Vita come with either a digital copy for PC OR the Vita.
$150 Vita comes with both, it seems
Wow, I'm impressed. That completely passed me by, I didn't get that buying the $80 would net me both digital and physical copies. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
Yeah physical is what I meant.

Is the Codex going to be a website or an actual program? I wonder how much they are going to charge for access to it for those not paying $150 or more.
I don't see anywhere where they give a price for the addons. Just this:
Can we have both physical Collector's Box of PS Vita and PC?
・BackerKit will allow you to add multiple collector's boxes or physical copies.

Well, they've sort of got it here:
But I'm not sure if they've shared standalone box arts at this point.

They should share the big version of those images, I missed those little covers completely.

How much of this game falls into the dating sim category?
I didn't answer your question at first because I haven't played these, but I'll answer from what I've read everywhere: the first game is basically a dating-sim game with your typical harem route. The second and third game change that vibe completely and take a much darker tone to the story.
You won't regret it!

I hope Physical Vita isnt kickstarter exclusive because I'm super broke right now.

Kinda tempted to get this now that I don't need to put $150 down for the Vita version. The thing that bugs me, is that with these Kickstarters I never know if I'm paying extra now, only for the game to release a year later physically for everyone as well, and cheaper too.
They mentioned they'll sell the game (physical Vita copies) afterwards, but for a higher price.
Basileus777

If you're looking at the physical editions, it's not likely to get much cheaper. They said MSRP won't be cheaper and something this niche probably won't have a ton of unsold stock that would make retailers cut prices.

This is good info thanks guys. I'm gonna take note of when this thing ends, and check how my finances are doing closer to the last day.
The most notable feature about this is that if you order the $80 physical Vita tier during the Kickstarter, you'll also get digital copies of the game, for PC or Vita.

Now this is cool and sweetens the deal quite a bit. Is there any info on whether digital will be coming before physical (because of approvals and whatnot)? I mean I'd have no use to a physical + digital copies for the Vita normally, but if the physical were only to come a few weeks/months after, at least I'd be able to get things started on the digital copy, and upload the saves to cloud.
You can get physical Vita and digital PC, if you want. The digital Vita copy will likely be emailed to you (PSN codes) whenever the game hits the PSN and the physical copies will be mailed to you around that time, I'm guessing the physical copies would arrive a bit later, depending on the location the copies are being sent from.
The Vita version will be released a few months after the PC release, which means if you want the game ASAP, physical Vita + digital PC is the way to go.

Great, thanks. I may end up doing this, and keeping the Vita version for collection. I'm really liking the whole concept of the stories, so worst comes to worst if I'm tied for money when I get the 48hr notification from kickstarter before it ends, I'll just snag a PC digital copy and buy the Vita cart once that drops.

Whatttt seriously? That changes everything. Would i be entitled to a digital pc version if i got the LE vita physical copy?
Basileus777

That's already part of Photon Flowers/Melodies, so it'll happen once they reach 720k. Hopefully they have no intention of using those shitty machine translated fan translations for it.
With the $150 Vita copy, you'll get BOTH a PC and Vita digital copies.
