Since last week’s posts seems to have been well received, we’re continuing with this new weekly concept. This post will provide a summary of visual novel news from both English and Japanese titles over the past week (Jul 10 – Jul 16). Just like last week the news has been split between English Visual Novels, Japanese Visual Novels, and Nukige games specifically.
English visual novels
Eiyuu Senki now accepting pre-orders
Turn based strategy / simulation game Eiyuu Senki is now accepting pre-orders for the PC version by publisher Jast USA. Its release is stated for summer 2017. You can read more about the game and the pre-order specifics in this dedicated post or you can head over directly to J-List.
Kickstarter preview for Wonderful Everyday (Subahibi)
Frontwing has published a Kickstarter preview for Wonderful Everyday, or if you’d like, its Japanese title Subarashiki Hibi. Estimated delivery for the first chapter is Aug 2017, so the Kickstarter campaign is expected to be starting up soon.
There are plenty of tiers available for you to choose from so it’s recommended that you check out the page yourself, and provide feedback if you’d like to see something different.
The first stretch goal will aim towards creating an English version of the Wonderful Everyday art book, and the second stretch goal would make possible the creation of an entirely new story in the world of Wonderful Everyday.
Crimson Gray by Sierra Lee now released
Crimson Gray is a branching visual novel by Sierra Lee in which your choices will impact the main characters’ mental states. The game has adult content available for those that are into that. You can get that (uncensored) version over at Mangagamer, or you can opt for the “safe” version from Steam.
