Well, here we are again! This is the second of our self-sufficient VNTL update posts (read: we’re tracking our own updates, not using the /jp/ user VNTL’s weekly 4ch post). If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let me know in the comments. Any new updates are marked by orange text.
The Short Version:
Only the New Stuff
- Amagami – A little progress (~2%) by Ni Shi Shi TL

- (Did you read about our new VN TL updates aggregator yet? It’s worth 30 seconds of your time after you look through this post)
Help Wanted
- The Golden Spirit team needs translators (and only translators at this point)! This will speed up TL on Ken ga Kimi, but they also need help on their two new projects: Starry☆Sky ~in Summer~ AND Black Wolves Saga -Bloody Nightmare- (see this post)
- Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete TL team needs editors, TLers and TLCers

Let me know if you find any errors, bugs, or I missed a project!
Golden Spirit’s got a lot of projects going right now… Might just read In summer in JP, though….
I’m impressed by these new posts! You even got the stuff on aarin! One correction: the site that’s hosting White Album 2 is Baka-Tsuki.
I’ll also add a translation for the trial version of Un:Birthday Song came out, although I can’t really expect Moon to catch that, especially since they’re not doing more than the trial. The site’s not worth actually following for translation patch news, but if anyone’s looking for the trial patch, it’s here: https://yuscake.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/unbirthday-song-demotrial-english-patch/
RE: Golden Spirit — I know. It’s crazy. And very impressive.
RE: Impressed — Glad that you find them helpful! < 3 RE: Aarin -- I don't spend much time on Aarin, so I do rely on comments to tell me when I miss one on there. RE: Correction about White Album 2 -- Hm. Not sure I understand what you're saying. Where's the mistake? And thanks for the Un:Birthday Song link! Very cool. I'll add it to the top news recap.
Re: Aarin I’ll be sure to update if you miss anything! But I didn’t even see the Sweet Pool one…. Maybe between us we’ll be incredibly reliable.
White Album 2 -> Under Team it says Baka Suki. Should be Baka Tsuki.
You’re welcome! If I didn’t comment on these posts with news I’d feel a little lost somehow…
RE: White Album 2 — ah, thank you. Nice catch! Fixed here and on the aggregator (http://moon.fuwanovel.net).
Bit of a shameless self promotion, but a friend and I (we’re calling ourselves Kuoee) are working on our own TL project. We have a thread on the forum here [ http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/9374-blue-tl-project-demoprologue-released/ ] and our demo’s up on our blog [ http://kuoee.tumblr.com/blue_extra ]. We also have a comprehensive set of process notes to go with the demo on that download page as well. If you need any more information, I’d be happy to provide.
Oh, cool! I wasn’t sure whether or not your topic had gone up. I’ll be sure to add this going forward.
whats the first image related to?
Princess Evangile (released by MG this week)
It isn’t listed on their site but it was tweeted that Kouryuu from MangaGamer finished translating the Da Capo 3 common route this week. https://twitter.com/MangaGamer/status/580667731504205824
And the Free Friends translator announced that was at 90% https://twitter.com/tulipgoddess/status/580523267817148418
Also, another not-so-obvious status update: Editing on Bunny Black is complete and it seems like all that’s left to do is the patch creation. http://games.seiha.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1092
Dang. Sorry about that. I always have a really hard time with the two Seiha projects. Big miss, though.
Sorry, everybody!
Welp, despite the editing being removed from BB’s to-do list, Herkz, the editor, says it’s still in editing. So… disregard and sorry for the incorrect information.
Some more news:

😀
woohoo wtf bunny black´s editing already finished?!? how fast are they anyway…
You might want to include Brothers Conflict: Passion Pink and Brothers Conflict: Brilliant Blue the next time you update the list. Both are otome games for the psp and will get patches.
Progress for PP (translation) is at 99%
Progress for BB (tra.) is at 5%
You can track the project here: http://passionandbrilliance.tumblr.com
———-
Also,a translation project for Re:Birthday Song started: http://estearisa.tumblr.com/post/114888815084/re-birthday-song-translation-project-recruiting
———-
You can use englishotomegames.net for easier tracking-> upcoming games-> translation projects and visual novel reader.
—————
Btw, you can track MG’s project status on their staff blog, they update it pretty often. Or you can stalk MG’s twitter- they RT when someone of their team posts an update on the progress. (I guess you didn’t know because you missed the update on the 25.3.)
I hope I helped a bit. Good luck with the future updates.
any news for Irotoridori no Sekai?
