Shiravune is about to release Taimainin Yukkikaze soon. Do you think they might pick up Seigi no Henshin Heroine o Sasaeru Ore to Aku no Onna Kanbu in the near future?

I doubt it. They're following the same release pattern that Infini-Brain themselves tried a few years ago. I would bet that they're going to focus on Taimanin specifically until all of those games are localized. That said, absolutely nothing is safe anymore, and it wouldn't surprise me if they branch out to games like that eventually.

One small caveat is the weird way that Lilith have been acting recently. First Sasayama tweeted that there was now a possibility of Rinkan Club falling afoul of modern regulations (or possibly credit card company bullshit) and no longer being sold. Then, virtually all of Lilith's games disappeared from their website. There was one Lilith Soft title (the most recent one), no Anime Lilith, one Lilith Mist, and two Black Lilith (TY1 and 2). They've since added every Taimanin game apart from Mama, and don't even have any Kangoku Senkan games up at the time of me posting this. They're not just unlinked: if you go to the URL, you'll find that these pages are completely gone. I think something has them concerned at the moment. And considering that Shiravune is a Japan-based company, they would have to follow Japanese law, even if they're selling primarily to foreigners. Ergo, if it turns out that there is a problem with certain games, then they may choose not to go anywhere near them, just to be safe, even if they are not actively banned.

When translating Tsuma Netori, did you predict exactly what the plot twist (at least I think it's that) of Makoto learning exactly what "the truth" is? (For the record, DLsite English refers to it as that and I'm trying not to spoil what it is for anyone who hasn't played it.)

I was aware that something along those lines had to happen. It's easy to deduce from the CGs.

O COME CU CARALHO. asked:

HELLO how are you?

I wanted to ask a question, have you played any persona, in this specific case, have you played persona 5?

No. I'm vaguely aware of what happens in most of Persona 4, but that's only because someone showed me once. I haven't played any of them myself.

Most annoying VN to translate so far?

Ochiru Hitozuma. It was as boring to do as Tsuma Netori, but I had to figure out the engine problems from scratch. I had to do the word wrapping manually, and then I screwed it up by one character width, so I had to do it all over again. There were lots of leftover KiriKiri2 files, which made it annoying to try and find all the right interface strings to modify. Also, there were many scenes where I had to keep checking back and forth between different versions of the same prose to ensure that they conveyed that difference without losing their consistency. It was driving me nuts by the end.

Do you prefer the old lilith art style or the new lilith art style? Especially with the guest artists for rpgx

I like that they have a unified colouring style, at least. When you go back to early TABA, it's all over the place, and makes a lot of the cards look ugly. There was nothing wrong with what they were doing for most of their games before, but it does feel slicker and glossier now.
