I’m in the middle of finals, so this’ll be pretty quick. There are two projects I know of which I should have added this week, but which I skipped due to lack of time. Sorry about that! In case you haven’t been following our weekly posts, this post (and the three before it) were built by tracking our own updates, instead of using the /jp/ user VNTL’s weekly 4ch post. So. 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
- Amnesia was licensed. Otome Game TL has stopped its work on the game and is encouraging interested people to purchase the game when it comes out in August (link). Here’s the game’s new website.
- Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki – A few hundred lines’ progress (still at 64% TL). Yuri route is done, new plan is to release a partial patch for it. Ann route next.
- Lamento – I never really know when I should mark an update on this one. Berugii92 gave us an update on the project here. Sounds like a few things need to come together, still.
- Koiken Otome – Gave us a progress update here. They’re still alive, but most of their work is QC stuff which doesn’t easily show up on these sorts of VNTS updates
- Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort – Almost a 10% bump in editing. Great job, MDZ team!
- Lilium x Triangle – Congrats, Tiny Lily team! They hit 100% TL and are already at 28% edited
- Lovely x Cation – Website still down. Anybody know what’s up?
- Mangagamer – Lots of project updates! See below.
- Muv-Luv Chronicles 2 TDA01 – Patch released! Please congratulate the team here. You’ll also find the patch/more info on that page.
- Rance 5D – Bump of 3% TLC
- Rance Quest Magnum – Up 1% to 29%
- Rance VI – ~5% bump up to 49.4%
- Subarashiki Hibi – ~1% bump up to 96.1%
- Yosuga no Sora – A small, <1% bump. BUT! The project is still going and Akira’s TLC is ~20%. See this post. (< Really good to hear from you guys!)

Zakabox™ Commentary
(Tay, here: Due to finals I had to do this post on Saturday AM, waaay later than normal. Consequently Zaka probably won’t have a chance to add his famous commentary. Apologies. You can always get your daily dose of @Zakamutt on Twitter)
「I’m sure people will be thrilled to know the frequency at which I take showers; this can be found by perusing my Twitter.
But do you really want to?
Anyway, the Amnesia thing is interesting. At one point we were actually considering writing something bigger on the project(s) (progress info etc was really scattered) (we being me, me being lazy) somewhat like what eventually happened for JOAT-Translations. God I procrastinated writing the questions for that a… bit long.
Speaking of JOAT-Translations, their QC (and my main contact back when I did project recruitment posts) Ryechu is working on editing Lilium x Triangle. May he ganbatte with all the sex scenes. I may or may not be planning to abandon everything else on its release.
The fact that I spent actual effort adding two nukige to MG’s section… doesn’t actually surprise me, because if we’re going to do this kind of list we might as well make it actually comprehensive. Still, I wish Tay would at least realize Free Friends 2 exists. And is more edited than 1, what’s up with that?
Fata Morgana was moving really slow earlier; I wonder if this bump is just the result of steady progress or tl has actually picked up the pace. Fata Morgana itself looks p. cool, and I will never say no to a female protagonist.
Anyway, looks like this is probably getting auto-posted in five minutes or so – and thus, I should conclude with an edifying statement…
…that Romanesque pic up there is pretty random, and knowing that is half the battle. *is shot*」
Yay for Zaka making it in time to write the Zakabox™!
And that Littlewitch Romanesque pic is the official logo of the Zaka-Tay post-game discussion (of which only the Zakabox™ made it this week). At least for now. And I think it works pretty well: we have our quarrels (dd/mm/yyyy; ” I wish Tay would at least realize Free Friends 2 exists”; etc.), after all.
*vague, grudging acceptance noises*
Also, found this on reddit. Damn man, always stuff off the radar… though considering who we’re dealing with, it’s not that strange. But I did know he was doing a hanahira project actually… oh well whatever.
https://georgehenryshaft.wordpress.com/2015/04/17/hanahira-translation-patch-release/
Yeah. It showed up in the VNTL-Moon feed. I sent a few messages and was going to wait to hear back before I mentioned anything about it, tho.
Amnesia is gonna be for vita and pc?
i rll dont get how it works to port vita for pc the games that were at first for vita and got ports ended up bad but i hope vns might be more simple ;;
hard copies would also be nice….
i hope the series get popular enough to get the whole series licensed cuz its rll nice and without Amnesia Later x Crowd and Amnesia World would be such a pity
Yeah, Amnesia’s also going to be on Steam. Which is an excellent thing. I can continue refusing to purchase a Vita.
I don’t hold any optimism for Lamento yet… They seem to want to put a lot of extra details (FAQ of installation problems for the game itself, fancy-looking walkthrough, glossary, etc) into the work which will push back the release date….
Subahibi, tho. 1% is 1% and good in my eyes.
It seems like Lamento vndb link turn into Lamune vndb link. Please fix that. Thank you
HighHope on this process.
Hey, you know Sunrider Academy has been officially released on Steam right? They just updated the page about a week ago.
What ever happened to Cocoro@Function? Was that project dropped?
Wondering about a project for SISTERS ～夏の最後の日～ Ultra Edition, make a english patch for the game.
Other projects that are not done yet, will they be done later or cancel for good?
