It may not be finished, but it is something definitely worth discussing.
It's more worth discussing if they stopped Multi-translating it and actually released and Act 2 or something.
There's normally no book/novel publisher that focuses on localizing their unfinished story...
I Like Katawa Shoujo as much as the next person, but they should
FOCUS on completion, not distribution first...
what irritates (personally) me more is, People starting to say that
It's the best VN, even though it's not finished. hence the "Don't count your Chicken before they hatch" proverb
Usually
After a VN is announced the release date should not be far, at least 2-4 months
example
Kizuato by LEAF, they announced it around May 10 2009, and it was released at June 26 2009, that's not even a month yet. Even though it's already in progress,
this short time between announcement and release is one of the more important factors of Vns success.
now let's look at
Cross Days by OVERFLOW, it was announced at June 26 2009, but it was eventually released at March 19 2010. It took them
9 Months to get it done, and what reaction did they get? Some people forgot about it completely, some people got disappointed to see nothing has really changed, some people just raged quit.
I am particularly fine with
4Leaf Studios if they want to make the 1st act as a trial version, but now from the actual 1st act release till today, it took like
16 months with nothing more but Graphical, sound, technical cosmetics and translations to 4 languages (2 more pending).
See the point?
I'm trying to make people see that
They need to "lubricate" the fan base with REAL updates, not cosmetics and languages. People wants VNs for the story NOT THIS.
Tl;dr
Point is, THEY NEED TO DO A REAL UPDATE ASAP Or at least
Announce their REAL progress.
not, "oh, look we actually translated Lilly's "My, My" into 4 different languages."
It may seem that I'm ranting, Raging, or whatever you think about me, but I'm one of the guys that really anticipated Katawa Shoujo for it's High Potential. But waiting for more than 16 months for this...
