With the survey questions it looks like they're working with AGE to make a definitive version of Alternative which would be quite nice!

Thread I made on vndb on Flowers. It pretty much answers what's going on.
His response is complete conjecture. No one has any idea what's happening. All I've heard on the topic is that Payne had no comment on why they were working on flowers instead of MG when asked by someone at the panel, and it seems like no one was told anything else ahead of time which has left quite a lot of people scratching their heads. Most notably after the announcement is the fact (as mentioned by The Doddler, who has done engine work for KnS/2 and other titles) that IG's engine had enough problems that he basically had to port everything to a brand new engine, so he's calling in to question the projected fall release date unless JAST was provided source code, which seems unlikely (and would anger a lot of people at MG, I think) given that my understanding is MG didn't have engine source code to work with.

The survey questions are pretty insane, I'm not sure there is much to be taken as concrete from them. I mean there are even questions about an anime, which would be wildly out of bounds for this KS to fund.
The KGNE stretch goal they've talked about sounds far more reasonable.
Are they really at the same time, that's crazy

I like how all they hid the MuvLuv original stuff behind Alternative.
Apparently they'll be at the Sekai Project panel.

Yep.
I'll just watch the Aksys event, and find out what happened at Degica's panel later.

2 minutes to 4infinity reveal, FUCK
Root Double localization was leaked to be a cooperative project between Sekai Project and Lemnisca Translations. As someone whose GOAT is Virtue's Last Reward, this might almost make up for the possibility of 4infinity not being Zero Escape 3.

No details on ZE3 is pretty disappointing. Everyone knew the game was coming. A platform announce at least would have been nice.
At least we have a time frame.

Any news on Degica's thing?

There's a press release with additional info.
3DS/Vita, "fully voiced cinematics", options for both Japanese and English VA.

A bit disappointing then no info on a game we knew was coming, and not much new about the Muv-Luv deal either.
I got what I needed for ZE3, definitely wanted more on Muv Luv though. Whatever the case it's a real good year so far and that's good enough for me.

There's going to be another panel with Uchikoshi tomorrow at 4PM, so we might get more details then.
It's annoyingly named "Art of Localization" without any hint of his involvement, so it's a pain to find it in the schedule.

Feel like im the only person that doesnt want more info on ZE3 besides a name and a specific release date. Want that game to stay a complete mystery to me.
Voted for the ports (vita please), high res sprites/CG and the in game database. Honestly i wanted to vote for them all.

Yes! English VAs and physical!
Soooo when will these announcements be? I've been looking everywhere for news on the NISA panel and this is literally the only place I've seen anything mentioned :/
I'd expect more VNs too since they don't have a lot going for them without GUST and IF. Kadokawa, but that's about it.
There are no announcements.

It's a reference to this: (from your own link)
The press release part sounds like speculation that turned out to be false. We'll probably get those announcements later.

Less than one hour left in 2infinity! http://a.lemnis.ca/2015/06/2infinity-and-beyond.html
What could it be?

It's obviously a new Toy Story game.
What is that?
A totally unexpected title that will make our jaws hit the floor.
And now it's going forward.

This must be the "and beyond" portion.
How long do we wait now?

Well, I assume it's counting forward because it's an absolute time difference, and the blog post hasn't been touched.
This could be
an elaborate ploy

A Vita localization was never in the cards. No one working with IG does console work.
Yes but my point is that it's on Vita and that's not coming. A few years ago localizations of 5pb. games were unfathomable as well.

Innocent Grey is not 5pb or Steins;Gate. It's hard to image any publisher being interested in localizing their titles on console.

You aren't the only one. Japanese voices and physical Vita release are the only things I wanted to know before playing it, aside from release date. I don't even care about the title. Just let me know when it will be at my door, and I prefer to know absolutely nothing else until I boot the game up for the first time.
Still nothing?
Spike Chunsoft, 5pb, Idea Factory, Arc Systems... Not that hard, actually.
It's Root Double, which is a VN directed by Takumi Nakazawa (the other half of the Infinity series duo). The OP got leaked earlier today. From what I hear it's supposedly very good, with less emotional impact than Ever17 but better constructed than I/O. This is supposedly "one of" the surprises at the Sekai Project panel, so expect at least one other cool game out of them and at least one whopper of an announcement from Mangagamer. Every Mangagamer person I know is really excited, they have something big.
EDIT: This isn't exactly news either, a translation of Root Double has been planned for a while now. Sekai just bought up the planned fan TL.
Isn't that blog related to the TL team of S;G?
