This week’s header image comes from KARAKARA 2 (Sekai Project) which was sneakily announced this week (link).
VNTS (Visual Novel Translation Status Updates Series) is published each Saturday and brings the latest updates from VN translation projects — both licensed and by fans — from around the net. If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let us know in the comments.
From The Team: Well, after leaving Decay high and dry last weekend, I’m back (and, albeit only technically, just as alive as I was two weeks ago!). As I later told him, if it helps, in my feverish dreams I dreamed I did VNTS (and all sorts of other Fuwa work) (… *cough* I’m sorry I haven’t emailed you, yet, Palas *cough* but I dreamed I did *cough*). In any case, happy Valentine’s day, everybody. Here’s hoping you spent it with loved ones, good friends, good entertainment, good homework, or a combination of all the above. As for me, being apart from loved ones, I took naps and studied. Steamy, no? How about y’all? Anything fun?

Zakabox™ 「Hi, my name is Zaka and I’ve got a flippin’ aphtous ulcer on my uvula. I do not recommend this; entirely apart from the pain, my throat also feels unaccountably dry all the time. I wonder when Science will get around to curing this bullshit, if ever… sigh.
Never heard the clockwork leyline trilogy was assured before, they might’ve said it ages ago though. From what I hear this is Very Good News as it gets progressively better. Oh, and hi localized title.
Big jump for Nursery Rhyme, mostly due to it having been ~8 months since the last update. It’s a slow but steady project, kinda like ittaku’s ToHeart 2 translation. I liek.
Seems like the more pessimistic scenario I mentioned like a year ago of how quickly the F/HA voice porting would go happened; they couldn’t fully automate it, and that makes all the difference.
In things of VN community interest: Sekai Project has opened a slacker backer campaign for the Nekopara OVA. Maybe they’ll reach the 1 million USD goal after all.
…I need to sleep. Nyaaaa…..
Yes, five periods. Not six. I wanted exactly. Five. Periods.」
Decay’s MusingsHello everyone. It’s late and I’m tired so I’ll keep this short.
Ley-Line: Very cool. Glad the entire trilogy has been confirmed. I’m ready for magical high school scooby doo.
Chrono Clock beta: Not much more than a moege, don’t expect anything else. But it’s a moege that has a protagonist with a personality and some degree of self-awareness, which automatically makes it better than most.
Train to Busan: Clichéd to a fault, not inventive enough. Still able to pull some emotional heartstrings. Not bad overall.
John Wick: Very fun, mindless entertainment. I typically like more grounded action films, stuff like this isn’t bad every now and again though.
Modern Country by William Tyler: Good, relaxing background music to edit endless h-scenes to.
My next “paycheck” (see below): I’m looking forward to those four packs of Starburst. I hope it’s all FaveREDs this time.
TAYsteful Thoughts™Palas, I swear on Decay’s next paycheck: I will email you tomorrow and we will get all the things sorted out. (For those that haven’t heard, Palas is taking over the Reviews team. I’ll be making a little post about it, and you can wish him well (1), then.)
Have a good week, everybody!
(1) And by “Wish Well,” I of course mean, “Petition him to delete and re-assign Batman’s Key game reviews.“
Finally a great VN coming up (I mean clockwork ley-line)
I really liked the opening and synopsis…character are looking interesting.
I’ll grab it once it’s out
(Now playing comyu )
Will it have any romance in it?

i guess Dangan ronpa count as a vn since it shows up in vndb
also Eirrir translation of most part of the common route of Shinigami to Shoujo on VNR
https://eirrir.tumblr.com/tagged/shinigami-to-shoujo
there is also this one which if someone wants to translate the other routes they can help

and Solar Translations of Arcana Famiglia

That physical copy kickstarter reached $70k and was funded in 8 hours! Damn. I don’t think otome or BL will ever have that kind of result. That’s really sobering and makes me ponder about what being an otome/BL fan means. I’m a year away from 30; am I too old now? As a woman, is my focus and limited budget supposed to have shifted to a proverbial husband and children instead of hobbies? Are adult women not supposed to like video games and electronics?
This week VNTS Review, and it’s quite short at this week (Sorry). As for my wish, instead of Tokeijikake like Decay I look forward to Chrono Clock instead (I knew it’s only moege).

Why does it say there are 4 comment, but I only see 2? is this a bug, or are there some waiting to be approved my mod? Just curious.
Indeed, there were two comments the spam filter flagged and had to be manually approved by us. This usually happens a few times a week.
I been playing the ChronoClock beta at the moment. So far, I am enjoying the VN. I like the artwork, and the story seems ok. Looking forward to the final product.
I was actually wondering,what does ChronoClock beta have? Like does it have a small part of all heroines routes?
It has the entire VN, even the part that isn’t translated yet.
The only thing I can remember that was interesting in V-day was having my mid test of Cellular physiology class …. Right now I’m still having nightmares about me being killed by a bacillus anthracis bacteria :/….
