Just personally speaking, VA-11 HALL-A is probably my favorite Western VN. The story itself isn't actually all that special but it's good at setting a mood and sucking you into a comfy atmosphere. The art and music are great too. And it's pretty interesting how attached to the characters you get despite the fact that most of what comes from their mouths is just blabbering lol.
I have high hopes for N1RV Ann-A.

I just realized that this was the VN that gained notoriety for being censored to an extreme degree on the PS4:
But a quick look at the game assets suggest that the PC version merely has the kind of censorship that you'd expect in an all ages release.
Picked up World End Syndrome for Switch. It seems it released with little fanfare, but the trailer sold me.

I was just thinking of booting up my old version since I never finished Heaven's Feel but FGO has me in the mood to read it again!
the type moon page I added says there are no content changes outside for those made for reprinting it, it's also a DMM code apparently, personally I'm kinda obssessed with Fate so I'm going to buy it anyway at least for the added items.
It'd be nice if they could put them on Steam. I really wonder how much and how fast an official sale of FSN and Ataraxia would end up... Like I think they could stand to make quite a bit!
I wonder if Aniplex, Marvelous/Xseed will try at some point to localize either Realta Nua or at least CCC (the latter I suppose would make more sense if ported) for consoles (and maybe PC in the case of Xseed)
The only other company I could see trying is Atlus since they messed with Utaware which was pretty unknown compared to stuff like Fate, but the latter probably also has higher licensing costs.
Any chance of TM themselves or any of the current VN players getting involved I think it's close to zero both due to licensing and TM being hard to work with (since they already tried at failed apparently).

it's never happening anyway but it's fun to speculate

Oh, shit, I didn't realise that N1RV Ann-A was already on Steam. I'm really looking forward to that one. Just don't wishlist it, for egsvious reasons.

I think I must have been quoting multiple messages and messed up removing the ones I didn't want to include. Sorry about that.LOL. I don;t know why it messed up the quotes but it wasn't me that said thatCommunity - The Visual Novel Council | All Choices Lead To Here

Yeah I got an e-mail about that since it was on my wishlist... Mhm, I will wait to see if anyone comments on changes.
=============
gosh, I'm still waiting for Tears to Tiara! orz

Chances of a PC release though?

I haven't read it (obviously), but the bathroom CGs are still there as is the final confession scene and kiss.
The ages of the characters are also still given in the story, so I'm not sure if anything has actually been changed.
They have a blog post saying they were approached by Valve and thus the game needed no changes
My guess is zero, unless whoever localizes it (if a loc happens) wants itChances of a PC release though?
JAST is having a summer sale on their store in case anyone is interested in some of their titles
twitter announcement with spoiler tag so nobody can click by mistake on their store

Browsing through their catalog makes me realize how little of it is on Steam.
And now with the stricter rules it probably isn't even worth it for them to try. ... Well hopefully they finish Flowers at least.
Great to hear! Is there no options menu to select resolution in game though? Or maybe it won't go past a certain point?
This is VERY likely to be "naughty" one
it's by NEKOWORKs, artworks done by ISHiKEi, it was announced originally by Fakku, but it seems that NEKOWORKs is selfpublishing to Steam as well.
it'll cost $20 for the standard edition on Fakku so I would expect similar pricing

This is the followup game to Death Mark. I didn't realise they're turning this into a series.
gematsu.com
Death Mark is currently 50% off if any of you is interested. I also posted an impression of it a couple of months ago.
NG coming west for PS4, Switch, PS Vita, and PC in October
NG, the second entry in Experience’s “Spirit Hunter” adventure series following Death Mark, is coming west for PlayStation 4, Switch, PS Vita, and PC via Steam in October, publish…

release date for My Fair Princess is 99% to be announced at AX I guess

Frankly, I'm supremely disappointed at this news. I was so excited at the prospect of playing a new Uta game, it never occurred to me it could be a gacha. How naive I was. This isn't what I expected, at all. After all that art teasing, website countdown etc. It's one thing if they're making VN/SRPG hybrid for mobile platforms since that could be the incentive I need to get off my lazy arse and finally set up my Android emulator. But no, this is a gacha with mtx, turning their most beloved characters from past games into cash cows.
I totally get why they're doing this though, with how the Japanese games industry the way it is. The only way to stay afloat and perhaps to make some money is this. Microtransactions.
Anyway, this is a hard lesson learned -- to keep my expectations in check from now on.
I'm not interested in mobile games myself, but I am also not surprised that Japanese companies are increasingly looking in that direction, considering how poorly the VN market seems to be doing over there. Hopefully the Japanese VN market does recover in time. Turning to a more international audience might also be a solution for some Japanese VN developers (and obviously something I would like to see), but doesn't seem like something most them are interested in or willing to do themselves.
I think they're more interested in the chinese market when it comes of localizing VN.
I mean, I'm getting Zan, but that's what basically the game is since it's the same stuff from the previous 2 Utawarerumono games rehashed as a musou.
Sure, fair enough. My complaints are mostly rooted in the fact that they were generating hype by using methods normally reserved for a "major title" release. Hence my disappointment when it didn't turn out the way I expected. I suppose gachas should be considered major titles as well.
They are depending on production values, but it’s not a surefire way to success either.
Forwardworks keeps churning out games that range from tiepid successes to disasters, light was literally bankrupted by trying to make Pantheon, that Muv-Luv gacha shut down really fast.
Not everyone is going to be the next FGO or GBF.

For anyone seeking further proof that we're living in the weirdest time-line, Saya no Uta is apparently coming to Steam later this month:

Song Of Saya Remastered Coming To PC This Month - Noisy Pixel
During JAST USA’s panel at Anime Expo 2019, the publisher announced Song of Saya Remastered is set to release sometime in July on PC-via Steam.

In less outrageous news, you now pre-order the physical edition of Majikoi from J-List:
It is apparently limited to 500 copies, but it is not clear if that applies to the standard edition, the collectors edition, or both.
There's also no release date as of yet, but the page does confirm a Steam release:

I uh, binged the fuck out of the 2nd half of Danganronpa v3 the last 2 days.
That ending was sure something. I feel like the people saying it was pointless might've, uh, missed the point?
Lots of other things I want to talk about, but I'm dead pooped from everything I did today and it's past midnight now.

JAST is partnering up with Kagura Games for localization (outside of them publishing some eroge games on Steam and other platforms I don't really know much about them)
