You can find out the status of the game on their Staff Blog, though I won't put up a link because, of course, most of what they do is 18+. Looking at the blog, their current status for the Higurashi rewrite is : Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (Re-Translation) –Onikakushi: Double Checking Script, Updating UI –Translation: Watanagashi at 14.7%

This is probably old news but that weird lookin thing that 07th Expansion is releasing looked really familiar. Then I remembered that old "when they cry 3" picture that got posted around like a year or so ago and the chick on the right is the same so uh maybe it secretly is? Title even has the one red letter thing that Higurashi and Umineko had. Wouldn't be surprised if Ryukishi just ended up recycling that design or something but I want to be hopeful that WTC is not dead. edit: nevermind that new thing is just a collaboration, RIP.

Finished Aiyoku no Eustia: Angel's Blessing except for the bonus stories that I'll get back to someday. The entire game was really amazing and solid up until the last chapter which completely sucked. I ended up skipping through the bulk of the last chapter to the end, which was at least pretty good and wrapped everything up nicely. They must have gotten someone else to write the last chapter or the writer must have choked or something because it's on a whole different level from the rest of the game. Still, that's only about 5 hours of an otherwise stellar 50 hour game, and the rest of the story is definitely worth reading. Now I just need to figure out what to get next. I want something a little shorter since holy cow I never realized how long reading a 50 hour game could take. (it takes 50 hours, for those wondering)

Nate RFB posted:It would be nice to like something by Ryukishi07 again given how boring Rose Guns Days was. Though it would've be nice I guess if he had kept the character designer from it given whatever the hell that girl is supposed to be in the teaser image. Did you read Higanbana? It touched feelings I thought I had repressed for good.

Was Higanbana pre or post the death of his best friend? Because it clearly affected all his later writing.

Ugh, I see they still have that ugly UI in the bottom right hand corner. Assuming it's the same basic engine it might be possible to hide it by tinkering with the files. Also thank Christ it looks like they'll be using A.D. years rather than Showa Era. God that got annoying after a while in the first translation.

Rollersnake posted:Is Fragment's Note worth playing at all? It really doesn't look like it, but I've seen people mention it as a highlight of the PlayStation Mobile game library. I'd like to grab it while I still can if it's any good. Just answering my own question from page 1—this VN has no redeeming qualities, and it's too generically bad to even find humor in it.

It is cool that this release is infinitely moddable, compared to even the original ONscripter release. Every sprite, background, and music file is right there out in the open.

So how do the different routes in Steins; Gate actually work? So far I've just been looking at every text and choosing replies pretty randomly and answering every phone call. Do you ever get a VLR style flowchart with what routes and choices there are? Also there's a trophy for deleting a text without reading it but I can't work out how to delete them at all.

Regarding Steins;Gate Vita, is there anything I should know about going in, like game breaking bugs? VLR's made me wary ever since I first tried the PEC room.

Do you ever get a VLR style flowchart with what routes and choices there are? However at the end of a few chapters there is a very specific, obvious, binary choice presented to you that will allow you to instantly splinter off into a side route/ending. These are very short and again should be fairly obvious that they are kind of a sidestory rather than something that wraps up the main story. Once you've splintered off there is nothing left to do until you reach that sidestory's ending.

I mistakenly interpreted the Europe release of Steins;Gate on Vita as the U.S. release. And now I'm bummed. Do we have any idea when this thing will land stateside?

It's also written by the guy who wrote Spice and Wolf, an anime that made economics fun and interesting, so the guy knows his stuff. It got some rough reviews when it first came out because it was one of the early VNs on Steam and people didn't really know what it was supposed to be, but from what I understand it's supposed to be pretty good. Alternatively, now is the perfect time to grab a bunch of the cheap VNs and try them out so we can get some reviews up to help future generations out.
