Hello everyone!

Yup, we're alive.

To cut a long story short, we had a share of difficulties with our script, real life and time zones. Which of course is nothing new.

We have no excuse and we sincerely apologise for the delay. While we are currently doing our very best to get the demo out ASAP

there's no estimated ETA yet but we'll keep you guys updated, tentative release date would be early this year.

Without further ado we leave you with the first update of the year and the changelog (Indeed, we changed a boatload of things)

As you have probably noticed if you checked our main page post, well....there's plenty of changes made to both plot and setting.

From character names to location and framework, Violet Hill underwent a massive overhaul.

The changes are as follows:

--Changelog for Violet Hill v5.0--

- Names and nicknames - Character names have been updated accordingly; some have remained similar or unchanged, most have been changed entirely.

- Lore - all manner of worldbuilding will be adjusted to match the new location of the story.

- Location - Now in Oxfordshire England ~60-100k people in the large town/small city, mainly British in inspiration.

- Backstory - Sarah and Kaylee have been changed (esp. Sarah); some changes to Andrea

- Landmark names - Landmarks have been changed accordingly with the exception of the Wakamoto express which will stand true to its homage *salute*.

- School system - British system; think about A-levels

- School events - Mostly the same; adapted to fit with culture.

- Schedules and habits - Changing them to reflect the new location.

- Mindstorm- Some changes.

- Route framework- Pretty much the same.

- Mindstorm info - Unchanged save for mythology adjustments on the sci-fan end; sci-fi remains the same

- Clothing - Unchanged, uniforms will remain the same also as well as any fanservice resulting in their use.

- Flag events - In discussion. Possibly 1 or 2 flags to keep narrative consistent.

- Exploration segments - Unchanged mostly

- House combing - Still thinking about how we insert this.

- Nighttime events - Mostly moved to later development.

- Geotags - Overhauled to match the new location and lore.

- Audio logs - overhauled to match changes. Need to think about distribution.

- Art club - Changed in how it’s made and its cultural side, but quite similar.

- Club events - Changed to reflect new school system.

- Romance and lovey dovey stuff- Almost completely unchanged. May include a couple of British cultural references tho.

That's all for the moment, we'll keep you guys updated.

It might be abit late but: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!

Many thanks for your support! It means the world to us!!

Kind regards, Red Lattice Studio Team.

4chan claims every translation ever is a machine translation.

 

The truth is much more complicated. But the list posted on reddit was from an unpolished common route patch released a year ago and the team, after rushing the patch out the door for christmas, has claimed that they're going back and giving things a more thorough pass. So you should probably wait if you're really concerned about it.

4chan clearly has yet to "read" a fully machine translated VN to make such claims.

I've seen that hell with my own eyes. *cough* flyable heart *cough* Fixing up an MT? hahaha, yeah right.

-November Update-

Hello guys! How are you doing? We're doing just fine..err..more or less actually.

We're still alive and kicking despite appearances, however there's some good news and bad news to announce.

The good news? The project is very much alive and we're doing our best to complete it ASAP. The bad news....

...is that we were back to the drawing board with the script. That's right, for reasons yet unspecified Alex_Omega

has left the team and we were left without a DEMO script and without anything to replace it. Fortunately we managed

to create a solid and consistent framework which will help us in the future once we find a new writer. It's sad and yeah,

it's frustrating but all we can do is chin up and keep doing our best. For now, do know that we're in search of talented

writers! and we'd very much love to have you if you're interested! So don't hesistate to post below or PM anyone from

the team. I'll also post the pro forma below for those interested

As for our current status, we have more assets and are still actively working in what can be done for now. We can no

longer give you guys an ETA for the DEMO due to these circumstances but we assure you we'll do our best to have it ready

as soon as possible.

Kind regards: Red Lattice Studio team.

Shiny Days it's not a prequel nor a sequel. It's more like an alternate universe or spinoff.

Anyway, good luck with your walkthrough.

>still using WinAmp.

Heeey! XD

Winamp is the best music player there is!

out of curiosity, whats wrong with v1?

typos and minor grammar issues. As for the decensor, I got a better drawing tablet, so..

were all H-scenes uncensored by the patch??? or not all of them (is that why you're going to do an update?)???

I decensored all images. Even the bath ones XD. The decensor update is merely cosmetic.

Edit: Here's a sample of majikoi S decensoring in progress (if you ask nicely I'll share my winamp skin )

At least not for the parts Wairu translated.

Translate the remaining lines and shove it out the door. I know this sounds ungrateful, but I just can't really understand that attitude.

.

*You mean Yandere, right? and yeah, you don't normally meddle with another person's tranlsation without permission, right? Team

yandere has been unreachable for a while, so their part of the translation is not something we could change without permission.

*Check your own grammar before accusing people of bad QC.

*Yes, bolded that for you. It is an ungrateful attitude and this kind of behaviour is what turns off any new translation projects. Translating things for free so we get a bunch of ungrateful banter is not worth it.

*Maybe you should start your own TL project and see how easy it is.

General note for the grateful people: We are working on v2.0 of the tl patch, with fixes and updated decensor.

Is there an esteemed release date? By the way, I know feedback can help but if there is a media-related way I can help, I'd love to. Sharing, posting, running a blog, anything. :-)

Hello Max!

There's no estimated release date yet, but we are working hard to get things done. Now with 2 writers on board, progress has been fairly smooth.

Yes, we are interested in a social media manager and you can help us out with that. I'll send you a PM with more details, so check your inbox.

Regards.

Been a while since I posted my desktop

Anyone know where I can get the crack for majikoi?

Edit: Here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/maa05uaorc1rkj4/Majikoi.exe?dl=0

D.C.III is moving at a snails pace. At this rate Jast will release its entire agenda of VNs before DCIII is even half done.

Why is the world so fucking unfair?

Clannad stretch goals have been posted https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/clannad-official-english-release/posts/1062054

Funding frenzy has stabilised for now, although I feel like it will not kick up again since what people wanted from the start were the console/handheld ports.

380 is a long shot and I suspect it won't get that far but, meh. I'm not a manga fan so...

but hey, remember the potato salad? anything can happen I guess? XD
