Can't wait til August because that is when Steins;Gate is released on consoles in the US. I should rewatch the anime adaptation again. And for the record, I really liked the English dub of that adaptation especially since they, IMO, were pretty faithful to the original dialogue. It helps that the English voice for Okabe, J Michael Tatum, was one of the writers for the dub. In the meantime, I recently got a Wii U, so I'm experimenting with it. That, and trying to 100% the bestiary in Order of Ecclesia especially with the five-star item/Glyph drops.

Well then. Coming from Sekai Project: G-Senjou no Maou - Coming to Steam this summer Chrono ClockNarcissu remakeRoot DoubleClannad - Release set for November Coming from Mangagamer: HimawariBeat Blades HarukaUmineko no Naku Koro niNow I'm mostly excited by Umineko and G-Senjou, but the big win overall here is Beat Blades Haruka. Its developer, Alicesoft, has been pretty staunchly set against exporting their games, so this may be a sign of some really positive things to come for the western VN community. But holy crap! Umineko, G-Senjou, Grisaia, Muv-Luv, Clannad... 2015 wins this decade. It just does. |

So, correct me if I'm wrong. The Muv-Luv Kickstarter campaign is planned to launch next month, right?

Late August to early September is the time frame they gave. Nothing more specific yet. Also, here is some more news on the Muv-Luv localization. All information is subject to change: - They will be using the fan translation as a base, but are going to be doing QA on it to get a more polished result,re-translating in spots if needed.
- age is providing the most updated assets for this release(probably from the PS3 version), so expect high resolution art.
- Kimi ga Nozomu Eien(aka Rumbling Hearts) translation to be late stretch goal for the Kickstarter.
- Possible Muv-Luv anime series and/or movies!
- Looking into the possibility of a DRM-free release as well as Steam.
- Possibly re-recording Engrish sections of Alternative so that it isn't inadvertently hilarious to English speaking audiences(no more "Blabo Reader! Dis is Command Post!")
For those unaware, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is an earlier age VN that involves characters found in Muv-Luv Alternative(in an alternate universe). It's almost as big as the entire Muv-Luv Trilogy itself in terms of script length, and I was pretty sure we'd never see it localized because of its size and its relative obscurity. There is an anime version that is actually pretty good(though obviously truncated from its 50 hour+ source).

So, can we expect a release still in this year? Maybe not, but certainly early next year. Possibly re-recording Engrish sections of Alternative so that it isn't inadvertently hilarious to English speaking audiences(no more "Blabo Reader! Dis is Command Post!") That was hilarious even for non-native speakers like me, sad that they are re-recording them ._. Looking into the possibility of a DRM-free release as well as Steam. They must release on Steam, there are a lot of people (like me) who hasn't another way for buying PC games, and just putting the game there is a kind of marketing. Possible Muv-Luv anime series and/or movies! That isn't necessarily a good thing, the chances of a horrible adaptation are way higher than a good adaptation. |

Does that mean they will be localizing the All-age version, and not the adult version? Also, Muv-luv team is doing a free giveaway if anyone is interested. |

Possible Muv-Luv anime series and/or movies! That isn't necessarily a good thing, the chances of a horrible adaptation are way higher than a good adaptation. - No word on a release date. No real predictions yet either since we aren't dealing with one of the usual companies here(JAST, MangaGamer or Sekai Project).
- I and others have responded that changes to the VA should be made optional for those that want the original content, and they have responded favorably to that. That said, it's not supposed to be funny, so I'm for the change.
- They are definitely releasing it on Steam. No question there. But a lot of people prefer DRM-free releases, and they said they'd look into that possibility.
- I view it as a good thing because a horrible adaptation can be ignored(Tsukiwhat now?), while a non-existent one cannot be seen. The quality will mostly be determined by what studio picked it up, and how many episodes/movies they order. Another reason it would be a good thing is that even a bad adaptation can boost attention and sales of the VN(e.g. the Grisaia no Kajitsu adaptation was awful, but reportedly it still drew attention to the VN and improved sales). It's too early to say "I have faith," but I'm at least willing to give the idea a chance. Well, we are getting a Muv-Luv anime anyway. It's just going to be for the Schwarzesmarken Light Novels. So I guess look to that as an indication of what sort of quality we'll be getting.

They aren't saying anything definitive on that yet due to Kickstarter's stance against 18+ material, but they did kind of let slip that they were planning on doing All Ages on Steam first, with an unrated version to follow. |

Muv-luv is one of those VNs I haven't tried that I actually intend to. My game backlog grows faster than it shrinks but it's like... uhh.. one of the ones I think I'll actually get around to playing within this decade.
That said I saw some kind of report form JAST stating the translation for Seinarukana is to come this fall.. *EEEK*. I've been wanting to play seinarukana for over 5 years now!...
That said Nobody played aselia the eternal eh?... *sniffle*.... *hic*... It's ok... I *hic*... already kn...kn..kn.know *SNRRRK*, I... I.... I'm nobody *runs away wailing*.

Normally I'd say drop whatever you're playing and get to Muv-Luv right now, but since we now have an enhanced official localization on the way... But really, Mu-Luv(Alternative, specifically) is one of those VNs that is held in equally high regard by both the English and Japanese speaking VN communities. If you're into VNs at all, it's not one that should sit on your backlog forever. |

I never understood the story-wise decision of excluding Arcueid from far side routes. There's indeed a reason in the story, but why is that?
