Finally. FUCKING FINALLY.
If it took so many months for them to release just the second episode, it will probably take two years or more just to release the original sp episodes.

It's unlikely it will take this long for any more episodes. The delays for chapter 2 were due to issues with staff members leaving more than anything else IIRC.

Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works route
This route seems longer than the fate route. Also, so many interludes.
I got my hopes up that after Saber was taken away that the protagonist would switch back to Tohsaka like the prologue. Nope!

It'll get funded, 100k is probably just around the limit of success for it based on how it's tracking, but maybe it'll get done.
Yeah with over 20 days left, it definitely has time, especially after some updates etc.

Sound of Drop is on sale, it's $10. Someone buy it and tell me if its any good.
I totally would if I had the time. This was one VN that I've looking forward to trying, and there's just no time lately for a new game (let alone, games in general for me right now v_v)
It has a demo if you want to try it.

Huh, I hadn't realized. I guess I'll check that when I have time.

Sekai Project's monthly video is up. There are some announcements.
Waga Ie no Koneko-chan (a mobile port to PC)
The Orchard of Stray Sheep A Q1 2016 release
Yume no Sono - Garden of Dreams
G Senjou no Maou coming in November. They apparently have plans for Witch Boy that they will talk about later.
Edit: The Libra of the Vampire Princess prefundia page is up. Their goal is 170k. Though

Translating a project of that size in 8 months doesn't seem realistic.

Good luck. Also:
A $5 early bird discount for 50 people. That's... Why even bother, if you're just offering it for 50 people?
Oh no they have physical copies... >_>
You must resist, you don't have to get them all!

Yeah, 170k is a tall order for something completely unknown in the West that might not get much coverage.
I wonder if it's a mistake.
I was really hoping it would just be a KS for digital copies so I could get later... I can't go back to paying for LEs above MSRP anymore (although I've been very lucky in the past).

I really need to read Narcissu 1st and 2nd to see if I want these. Supporting the campaign and getting a discount is a solid combo
So Key is doing an official English release of Little Busters and Tomoyo After. 
LB is planned for Steam. Not sure about Tomoyo After, but if it's the All-Ages version, which it most likely is, then probably.

Fruitbat Factory is helping and publishing it.
Yeah, there's nothing about it in the Facebook post, just the TLWiki page. And Tomoyo After getting an English version apparently was old news.
I wonder what happened with the Sekai Project partnership.

This probably deserves a new thread.
I'd never heard it before.
It was already in VNDB since June. I wasn't aware, so I added the release announced today, before realizing the mistake I made, so I requested it be deleted.
I can make the thread if you'd like.
Go for it!
I did.
Got an email regarding the Muv-Luv KS. Apparently they have a Thunderclap now, whatever that is.
I'm curious about this too. Is it on part of Key themselves, or did SP not work out for them?
Because Key realized they don't need SP. And they don't, no reason for a middleman.
Mai physical goodies tho.... v_v
I suppose by now, everyone knows Muv-Luv hit the 900k goal, but just in case, I'm posting this.
Edit: Skeleton dating sim.

You broke Jazz's combo.
I wasn't trying or anything.

Can anyone tell me why Sekai Projects image is crumbling?
From what I can see they are acting bad on VNDB, lose their devs (Sakura) and seems now even VisualArts.

Key realized they didn't need them. Also, just a general mismanagement of their KSs and other projects.
I trust Fruitbat Factory to do a good job, given that they're made up of mostly former VN fan translators.

I can't speak to any certainty as I don't know what goes on beyond the scenes, but part of it is probably that once a developer/publisher gets established they don't really need Sekai Project anymore. SP isn't like MangaGamer or JAST who have their own distribution networks and sites. Anyone can put a game on Greenlight and get it on Steam, Winged Cloud (Sakura) can go on their own and do that easily. Sekai Project uses contracted staff members or fan translations and VisualArts can go and do that too as they've done with Harmonia, Little Busters, and Tomoyo After.

Well you can already date pigeons, a t-rex, a cyclops, and a grasshopper, so why not?

Personally, I think Undertale did skeleton dating the best.

I just wonder how come they act like that on VNDB (dovac) and that even the Sakura devs, however bad these games might be, know how the SP team thinks about that and talks about games by one of their businesspartners.
Dovac in general doesn't care about his customers and has actually said as much on Twitter. He just wants the money, that's all.
Basileus777

I doubt dovac saying dumb shit matters much. It's nothing new for him anyway.

Yeah, my problems with the company have nothing to do with their employees.
I guess you're excluding dovac there.

Narcissu 10th Anniversary Update #3: Sorry for the confusion
Well since I'm the resident SP employee in here, I'll just chime in with some stuff here. Everyone is entitled to opinions so I don't mind seeing any of the criticism in here (I write everything down and discuss it in our meetings actually) so please don't stop being honest about how you guys feel. We're all friends be it a stormy night or a sunny day.
First off, I work with dovac every single day, have been for quite some time. Now I'll be honest myself and say that sometimes, it takes me a while to understand his humor on some things but that's the thing, his sarcastic and dry sense of humor can sometimes come off wrong and make things sound bad. This is not an excuse on his behalf, but it is important to state very clearly that if anyone suggest that dovac somehow only cares to make money and doesn't care about fans/the product, then he spectacularly failed his Scrooge McDuck quest so far. He takes great care of us in the company, he always works hours extra when we all turn off the lights. He can be a bit bad at handling vocal minorities due to fatigue but eh, he's not Phil Fish just yet. The new PR and community team is doing stellar work and communication is getting much better by the day.
We are always under NDA, we are always answering to many stipulations, requirements and sometimes confusing requests, and while we love working with everyone it can sometimes cause a bit of a stumble getting this across to the general public. This affects some of the KS projects extensively, since we need final approvals on very small details that can take weeks to clear. Lately though, as I mentioned in the past, the company has hired new people to improve many aspects to SP. Then they hired me and undid all good they ever done.
Seriously though, I don't mind any comments made by any of you and welcome any discussions as free as the sky to take place. I write down many comments, I speak up for them, and its always taken seriously. We haven't had any falling outs or anything of the kind that has been suggested with any parties however. I don't handle the contracts, but I can tell you that we are on good terms with all parties we worked with so far, but we cannot take on every project and that leads to some trying different avenues seeing that there is a market for them even without us doing the work.
