I blame being on time today on reading Narcissu yestoday (Haeleth’s translation.) I recommend it.
Moderately obnoxious reminder: if you want your updates fast (usually, unless I couldn’t be arsed for a day or two), the new official fuwanovel twitter has you covered. Anything I’m too lazy to cover here will be there. I’ll note that other people do have access as well, so not all of the tweets are mine. Just most of them.
This is more or less a copy of a post the user VNTS does on 4chan’s /jp/ board weekly, with some edits, potential additional entries and such. Entries in green have progressed since last week; this week, we saw progress on 11 projects, the release of Nekopara, and Sekai Project picking up fault -milestone two-.

January 4, 2015 at 5:53 pmPlease Little Busters be done this century, ok?
aoishirosays:
January 5, 2015 at 11:27 amlittle buster will be done, when all of our hair turned grey….
so that we will remember our youth…..
DTheFlyersays:
January 6, 2015 at 7:34 amSomehow its depressing.
NeoAnkarasays:
January 4, 2015 at 7:11 pmKoichoco is soon finished. Subahibi is also progressing. Majikoi is also progressing too. Another title I’m waiting is Sumaga, SakuSaku and Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai.
Zakamuttsays:
January 4, 2015 at 7:20 pmI wouldn’t be that optimistic on koichoco being finished soon, to be honest.
Gianlucasays:
January 5, 2015 at 5:25 amIn Koichoco case, i suspect that they are deliberately delaying the release of the patch because they earn money from clicks of the people visiting their page. Is really so difficult to QC the remaining 80 lines already translated in english?
NeoAnkarasays:
January 5, 2015 at 11:01 amDoesn’t really matter for me though if it purposely delayed or not. Waiting one or two more month is nothing.
Gianlucasays:
January 5, 2015 at 1:29 pmI hope they can release the patch in one or two month. That would be a nice 2015 gift.
Lambdasays:
January 4, 2015 at 8:00 pmDot Kareshi, an otoge that includes nods (/is mainly set around) 8/16-bit rpg gaming, got a patch on the 2nd. There’s gonna be an update in a few days that translates the bonus features that got left out, if you’re not incredibly impatient. http://otomegirlkawaii.tumblr.com/post/106807808546/happy-late-new-year-and-dot-kareshi-i-eng-patch
…No other otoge/BL-ge updates that I know of.
Checked on Subahibi. It apparently updated today, as well as the 31st, and now sits at 92% translated. So, y’know, it’s actually moving, I guess.
Zakamuttsays:
January 4, 2015 at 8:16 pmo-to-me-ge. 乙女ゲ. otoge is rhythm game. 音グ. aaaaagh #analretentive
It’s good to have these side updates. I guess I’ll assign someone to dot kareshi patch tomorrow (though maybe I should just post after the extra features are done…)
(If I forget or procrastinate later poke me)
febreezesays:
January 5, 2015 at 12:14 amShinyDays finally entering editing stages with a planned release in later this year! Nice!
GabrieliosPsays:
January 5, 2015 at 12:33 amRose Guns Days’ translation did progress. Editing is still stuck in 60%, but Translation is now 100%.
Zalorsays:
January 5, 2015 at 12:40 amGlad you liked Narcissu. Sorry it distracted you from your work though.
Zakamuttsays:
January 5, 2015 at 12:57 amI’m honestly happy with being “forced” to complete a VN, it’s been a bit too long of a while since I read any. I’d also consider it part of my job (though admittedly, ask me to do the same for MLA and I’d give you a firm nopeface. This might get to be a problem…)
I’m honestly not sure if I would have worked more otherwise anyway; I essentially started reading at somewhere around 7am (having not slept).

January 5, 2015 at 3:41 am12riven yessssssssssss
Silversays:
January 5, 2015 at 7:01 amAnd yes! Seinarukana is nearing the goal line. Been waiting for this for years! Wait for someone to translated when the game first came out, then finally someone decides to translate it, MIA, another translator, MIA again, and finally arduoc (who translated all of Galaxy Angels and a few other games all by himself).
Besides that, somehow it felt like there’s been quite a lot of progress over the past month. Probably winter break and such…
KISARAGIsays:
January 5, 2015 at 8:20 pmcannot wait for Majikoi released, Fuwanovel BANZAI.
nerokidsays:

railgunsays:
