In terms of variety and production values, the latter.
Subjectively, might give that honor to 999 instead solely because it has so many tracks I love it isn't even funny.

Frontwing is localizing (Summer Kickstarter) Sharin no Kuni; I'm not even sure how to react?

Will they be translating it too?
Basileus777

They don't mention the script, but I imagine they will be licensing the fan translation.
Which is kinda bad tbh, it could really use a new translation.
Basileus777

I think you're right, though it's been like 6 years since I've read it. But I kind of doubt they'd retranslate it from scratch, especially given that they are going the Kickstarter route after G-Senjou didn't exactly tear the Steam sales charts.
The whole thing is strange. Frontwing self-publishing their own titles on Steam is one thing, but becoming a localization partner for other Japanese companies when I don't think they have any staff outside of Japan?
They want to cash in on westerners, probably.

Tons will back it for more VN support in the west. (If physical copy, I'm pretty much required to pledge for my rare item/limited edition... I know Imma hypocrite since I don't always agree with some of the KS projects, but want the goodies :/)
Is it a good game?

Sharin no kuni ?
It was fun game. the true route shit on every other route , because it actually make the game SO MUCH BETTER.
The rest is average.
It's a good Vn with GREAT and BAD moments

There's a core of a good game if you can get past some of the bloated and poorly paced parts of it.

Wait
Is sharin for steam ? Are they going to cut "all of those flashbacks" ?

Of course it's for Steam. And Sharin is easily adapted for Steam, there are already all-ages versions of it.
Eh....not really? The main villain is voiced by Norio Wakamoto and is pretty cool (one of his rare "serious" roles), some of the themes are solid, and bits of the last chapter are pretty good. But I found the protagonist insufferable, several of the setting elements and plot developments to be really dumb ("society is so broken that it punishes this pure girl who would never even look at a man for being a slut!"), the two big twists at the end utterly predictable (I called
the protag's sister being next to him the whole time
society is wrong to force its values on us! and we should totally be allowed to have sex with our sister and also three other girls at the same time!
Bolded is what I wonder. What "risk" is there when Grisaia made a good amount?

I think it'd be pretty obvious if you've played it.

I've played it, the italic was my special blend of sarcasm.
Unless they rewrote some parts , the motivation of that character SPOILERS

Seems like a waste of money to be honest.

Not really, they just don't need to explicitly depict it. It's not a big deal.
The frontwing kickstater had me laughing. I mean, if they license the fantranslation, what need do they have for a kickstarter (I know the answer). But I'll wait for the KS to start.
In other kickstarter news, looks like MangaGamer has partnered with Ingrasil Studios for their kickstarter VN.

Not anymore.
I looked it up, and it did get released on consoles. Not sure why people don't just automatically assume that it's a console release. It's Steam, of course they are using the console version.
The All-Ages version. Key H-scenes are notoriously bad, so I don't really care about them.
Also Memorial Edition. Not the console version.

I'm seeing this picture and "Sequel to Clannad" on the same page... Either someone made a mistake, or this is a very different game than what I thought it was.

No. I'd say it's a minigame in Tomoyo After. Also more side story than sequel.
"Beside the Adventure part that makes most of the game, Tomoyo After also has RPG elements. In order to complete the game entirely, the player must finish eight of the mini RPGs games called "Dungeons & Takafumis" which are available during certain scenarios as the player continues to play the game." - Wikipedia
Shocking? Hmm.. MangaGamer and shocking. I don't know if I'm reading into this incorrectly, but I only know of one game published by MG that makes me think of that word. Maybe it's a fandisc for a certain radiant game.

Or a steam version of it. I think a fandisc would be something they would announce at a Con.
But we do pretty much know what game it's related to. I don't know how they'd do a steam version, since IMO the H-scenes are very important to the story.
Well except a certain scene, I can do without.

It's not important to depict them explicitly. Honestly I'd have liked Gahkthun better without them. The game is something that could easily be altered to be Steam friendly.
I'd say the scenes were completely tasteful, and them not being there would completely ruin the experience. But it's okay to feel differently.

What a thing to say.

I was just saying it's okay to have your own opinion. That not everyone has to agree about everything.
Basileus777

I know, I just found the way it was phrased amusing.
But I think Gahkthun's sex scenes could be cleaned up to a Steam acceptable standard without impacting them on a story level. There aren't even that many CGs worse than what was is in Kindred Spirits.
