Aw, the story in Aselia wasn't anything to write home about either.

Seinarukana has way too much of the school harem stuff with your standard super dense main character.
I'd argue otherwise: it's surpisingly well written and handles itself very well, though the twists aren't particularly surprising, but they're not super easy to guess, either. It's probably the best RPG/VN hybrid I've played.
Funny enough, I imported the original version a few years ago and loved it's mechanics/characters as a more forgiving Rance game.
Fast forward to this year and I decided to get Gold too, since I liked the original so much and usually replay sim SRPGS eventually. It was...weird. Not bad, just jarring how some really irrelevant things changed while some things that SHOULD have changed stayed the same. Really odd, but also a good game, I just liked the first better.

I hear he's joked about Chaos;Adult before, haha
AX has their schedule up. JAST's panel is on Saturday, Sekai's is on Sunday. Mangagamer has two panels, with their main one on Friday and a seperate panel just for Shigeo Hamashima on Sunday. I enjoyed No, Thank You a lot so I'm really looking forward to that last one.
SP is the only one that doesn't have a super late panel.
This is because it's not rated 18+. I don't expect much/any discussion about their 18+ titles here. JAST's and MG's panels will likely be more informative and open about their products.
Founder of Overdrive will also be there. ChuableSoft is likely one of their new partners.
I wish the Karakara Indiegogo was that well managed. Still trying to ask SP in the comments questions, but no answer yet
I and others haven't done Backetkit yet due to it.Oof, my flight leaves at 4:15 PM Monday. No way I'm making that.

Ask me here, I'll try to answer you though I don't work on KARAKARA
Some of us were asking about details on the rewards, which would determine on upgrading in backerkit. Some I think still had issues on receiving the survey itself.
OK, I'll ask about this at the office tomorrow and PM you.

Yuri + demon and spirit mythology? I'm seriously tempted to back this one. Art is pretty cute looking, too.

Anyone knows a good 100$ Win10 tablet for VNs?
I am in China next month again, so would love to buy one for my VNs on Steam.

They sent out KS codes? Huh, I didn't get mine.
Um... I guess this is the trial version?
What a saga this game is on.

Apparently it's the first chapter. And it has a new publisher.
New publisher or "new" publisher?

"Good" at sub-$100 is definitely grading on a curve, but I have the HP Stream 7 that I managed to snag on sale for around $50-ish, I think. Any VNs with really hi-res art aren't going to work because of the low screen resolution, but I've played Tsukihime, Higurashi, Steins;Gate, Grisaia, and Fate Stay Night on it and they've all run fine. Only warning is that some games or parts of games don't behave well with a touch-screen (e.g. Higurashi menus), so I have a micro-to-full USB converter and a little wireless mouse I keep around for when I need it.
I'm looking for something better when I have the cash to afford it, but for dirt cheap, it certainly works.

Who knows. NextNinja is a Japanese mobile publisher, but maybe they were the ones behind Japan Contents all along?
NextNinja were mentioned in the dodgy prefundia/kickstarters from before under staff anyway.

Is there something better? The HP Stream 7 is just 40$ in China it seems. Wonder if there might be a 150-200$ Tablet.
That bad? The ride never ends :lol
In better news: The Labyrinth of Grisaia has been released. You know the drill, 20% off during the first week.

Dell had some decent cheaper tablets that could be had for around $100 on outlet with a coupon.
Asus had couple as well but they were a bit more then $100.
Edit: if you are actually buying this in Chjna maybe look at some of the better local brands? Bound to be cheaper.
Visual novel of the year until Steins;Gate 0 comes out.

Finally finished House in Fata Morgana, heavy stuff, 10/10, can't heap enough praise. One of the most mature VNs I've ever read, now all I can do sit and wonder why more people haven't read this.

I would argue thats because of the artstyle. Its the same with anime. If it doesnt have the generic anime artstyle, a lot of people dont even want to watch it.
That sounds... Like a hell of an ass pull, really.
Personally I'm waiting till I'm finished with RD and ZTD.

It's probably that more people just don't know it exists (or at least a lot of the people that would enjoy it), but I've seen people with bad taste complaining about the artstyle.

shit, for me not having that generic anime artstyle was a YUGE plus for the game.
now I'm gonna read something else that won't be nearly as good as HiFM.
how's Tokyo Babel? and Root Double?

I dont know. I encountered that in a lot of anime-communities that dont want to watch an anime, because they dont like the generic moe artstyle.
Kaiji - Damn. Looks shit.
Kaiba. That looks like some Disney Art.
Tatami Galaxy? What is that shit?
I can guess a lot fo VN-fans are put off by the artstyle.
Thats what I mean. Yeah...
