Hopefully they finish with Umineko soon so they can do the Tatarigoroshi art patch.

Despite making the OT, I've only really played the first chapter. I didn't want to rush and play it only to wait for further chapters to be released every six months. Glad to know it's getting a little faster, I might go back and play the other two soon.
this is an absolutely insane time for visual novel localisations.
I hope somebody brings watanbe's games next.

That's promising! Hoping the eventual question arc bundle will do well.

Wow, this is some day for visual novel news, huh? It'd be really nice if they are speeding things up and we won't have to wait until 2022 for them to finish things up.

Holy shit. That IS promising, if they really are getting their shit together.
Two reasons for this, I think. There were a lot of organizational problems getting the first three chapters together, due to staff coming and going (both the TLer and Editors changed around a few times), and chapter 4 is just shorter than the other chapters to begin with.
Dies Irae is getting leaked and we have no thread about it. Sad times.
Using the release Dies Irae ~Amantes amentes~ as a base, the game's text is being translated to English.
Steam will be used to bring Dies Irae to users around the world!
The latest version of light's game engine will be used.
The game will support Windows Vista/7/8.1/10, and the resolution will be expanded from 800x600 to 1280x720 (HD)!

Uhh...
I meant a seperate thread because its one of the more well known VNs like Muv Luv or Steins;Gate.
Talking about Steins;Gate. Some interessting infos from his translator regarding Dies Irae.
Within the VN community yes, but not outside of it. A lot of people know Steins;Gate and F/SN because of their anime, but Dies Irae does not have the same recognition outside of the VN community, so it's not at all surprising there's no thread.

The vague impressions that I've read indicates that it's better, but I'd like to hear more too.

Relatable, I keep confusing them too.

Other people on the Steam forums seems to have the same issue. Apparently one person fixed it with some .dll files.
Weird thing is that it ran on my tablet, although very, very poorly.

Reading The House In Fata Morgana. Shit went places real quick (ironic for a VN about a house), and I closed it for now and I'm waiting for it to get dark before continuing- gotta maximize immersion!

You should play it, Fata Morgana is great.

I'm so looking forward to it and not looking forward to it. Everything I've heard about this game is interesting, but at the same time, I don't know if I can handle this much chunibyo.
Got halfway through chapter 6 of DR2, and man, I love it when games purposefully break
One thing I can't understand is why Nagito purposefully
Still, I really liked how they managed to use an ability prone to ridiculous ass-pulls such as Nagito's super luck in a fair and interesting way, so I've got to commend the writers for pulling that off.
their graphics. Turning mesh textures off and rendering only wireframes (with no culling, to boot), having random geometry floating about, breaking the screen space into blocks to have them fall off one by one and applying missingno-style distortions to both text and player sprites was really cool.
One thing I can't understand is why Nagito purposefully
left the clues that'd let the rest know about the poison, rather than just hiding the flask back in the pharmacy or something (since he couldn't actually get rid of it due to the 'no littering' rule). That was the only way the others managed to learn about what had truly killed him, and thus led them to correctly guessing what was going on. Messing with the evidence would've made it more likely that they would get nowhere once they tried to find any explanation that didn't amount to suicide.
you should probably spoiler tag that first part
Of course there is >_> The goal better not be 250k or anything...
Next is Meakashi-hen, eh? Kinda want to re-read that.
Does anyone know if they plan to fix Kai OST? Mangagamer release was missing quite a few tracks.

It's 4am and thinking about Fata Morgana isn't letting me sleep. It's like I'm playing Saya no Uta, Umineko and YU-NO all over again. At once. Holy fuck. Haven't enjoyed a VN this much since YU-NO last summer.
Absolutely beautiful sprites in every way possible (contender for the best style I've seen), pretty good CGs (but 4:3 really, really hurts), 10/10 OST. I love this game.
P.S:
Also, played another 2016 release besides Zero Time Dilemma so now I have a game I can call GOTY 2016 without cringing, whee!
edit:
I'll just drop this OST here, if you needed a reason to get sold on this VN.
It's not indicative of the whole atmosphere, but rather the level of prowess you can expect from this VN when it comes to establishing mood.
edit 2:
holy hell
I'm in the fifth door and fuck, Giselle's backstory hit HARD (not that I have any similar experience, but...). I just got to the part where they are as happy as they could be, and I know the only road is downhill from here. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I'm at the point where it utterly breaks my heart to guess what's next, but I can't really keep myself from reading onward ANYWAYS. I LOVE IT.
In the Fourth Door, accidentally finding hidden text in the backlog was insane.
Then, when I was almost done, two characters (who I assume to be Michel and Giselle) started to TALK TO EACH OTHER INSIDE THE BACKLOG. Fucking crazy. And then there's the red intermissions by Morgana.

P.S:
For the choices, I kind of chose to "act" for every one of them- took the key from the portrait, looked in the mirror, etc. Got Endings 1, 2 and 3. Don't know if I'm on the true ending (if there's one) path, or if I'm anywhere close to the end for that matter and I don't want to know.

I guess I should look into Fata Morgana. I assume it's one of those VNs where you don't need a guide?
I used one, but you can make do without one. Just save often.
You don't need one. Every ending is a "choice A/choice B" scenario. You need to mark a couple of flags to pass a certain point, but they're really obvious.
Higanbana 3th Night
Eheh, this was pretty good. I think I said before, but the pacing is really excellent, the scenes flow one after another without interruption, there is no giant wall of text repeating stuff every time a character tries to do something, I finished this chapter in one sitting!
As for the final twist, I'll admit I didn't see it coming
As much I enjoy Higurashi, it really feels self-contained stories may be the best format for R07. Actually, Meakashi-hen is his best work and it's sorta self contained too, a very personal story.

The whole "Princess" thing tipped me off, but I just dismissed it as ANIME. Marie character development has been pretty good, she comes off a pretty strong character, I'm curious to see more of her.
Oh boy, you're in for a ride then. Can't wait to see people's impressions when they finish.
I'm using a guide now, I don't want to drop the game because I'm hitting arbitrary bad endings.

So, yeah. Binged possibly close to 5 hours of Fata Morgana last night.
holy shit.
holy shit.
That got very real, very fast. It's been a while since I've read anything so strikingly painful as the seventh door. Fuck the seventh door. Holy fuck. I haven't got many words- I've never been under similar pain-, but holy fuck. I think it was tastefully done, for what it's worth, and how the VN then briefly returns to previous scenes (such as Giselle and Michel interacting for the first time) and how you see the scenes so differently after going through the fifth, and then the seventh door. At some point after the seventh door, the game returns to a particular scene (forgot which), and it was incredibly impactful- knowing the true mechanics beneath those interactions, the reactions, the dialogue- it was incredible. I'm cis, and I think that the VN did a great job of portraying just how frustrating and painful lives trans/intersex people can have if they are not accepted. I didn't expect the VN to go there... but ultimately, I'm glad it did.
I'm currently in the final door, and to be perfectly honest it feels like a sort of epilogue. The pacing has slowed down -not too unwelcome after that hell of a door-, and to be perfectly honest Morgana's door being a half-hour affair before this makes the whole deal fall somewhat flat in comparison. Yesterday, I stopped at the part where Mell was just about to explain why he got involved in Morgana's imprisonment.
I love this VN so far, it is a journey wholly unique to its own, and has a fan-fucking-tastic art style and unforgettable OSTs to boot. GOTY.

Not quite at the ending yet, my dear.

Haha, guessed so. That was more a statement about
Giselle and Michel finally being united in a way, which after all the rollercoaster since Door 4 and onwards felt like the main story came to a close, and especially with the slowed and relatively lighthearted pacing, we were in the phase of tying up loose ends.
