Jast released Cosplay Fetish Academy on June 19th, and will release Family Project on July 17th. What the fuck happened to the Jast who never did releases within 2 months of each other, let alone a month.

Ready for it?

Coming at the end of the month, which route do you plan to do first?

Post Anime Expo Visual Novel industry thread.
Summary

MangaGamer
Shuffle and additional Navel games confirmed
Da Capo II confirmed
Higurashi confirmed, the plan is to release 2 sets with 4 arcs each (so questions then answers). In addition it is the original Doujin version
Shin Koihime Musou was confirmed at the panel it appears
They are planning on translating ai sp@ce
They are still in the red ;_;
They surely have more titles, but they used the panel to get people to buy their stuff, not make announcements
Of particular interest
22:55:59 <zalas|MangaGamer> Q: Lots of fan translation out there, what efforts are there to work with fan translators?
22:57:02 <zalas|MangaGamer> A: I think it's a case-by-case situation. We don't have any ideas like fan translations are bad. If we're able to use that and get it at a relatively affordable price. Might be able to release video gaems at lower prices as well


Jast-
Family Project end of this month
Cat Girl Alliance this fall
Raidy II this winter
2 Yukkuri Panic games being brought over
1st Downhill Night possibly this fall
NitroPlus partnership, Demonbane and Jingai Makyou confirmed, they have at least one more planned, see nitroplususa.com/

HgameZ.net
New site, trying to be like MangaGamer
Only games from Underlip thus far, and they are all free trials (so take a look), and uncensored. They say that they have multiple companies "We, at HgameZ.net, made exclusive contracts with major manufacturers of Bishoujo/Hentai games in Japan."
Located in the Republic of Cyprus

The Trials
Nurse Call Fuck- poor translation for the trial
Sex and Friend- Bablefish level translation for the trial
Teacher's in class gang rape- decent translation

So we are finally fucking getting this.

Jast's anime expo panel is tonight. Think they will have any useful news?

Fucking release where?

By the end of the year, we should have both Cross Channel and Family Project translated, two masterpieces.

>and so, what will our next game be after cosplay fetish academy? right now, we are actually trying very hard to release a second game in time for the con season (now you know why we havent been active as of late :P). we are trying, but no guarantees on this one really. but which game? it will probably be either moero downhill night 1 or family project. which one? i really dont know; you can pretty much just go flip a coin and guess, but my guess (as well as peter's) would be family project. so keep your fingers crossed but like i said, we are trying but no guarantees :P

English release fucking when?

Release fucking where?

>Greetings from JAST USA, your number one source for bishoujo games in English! It's been awhile since our last official forums communication, so we thought we'd get you up to speed with some recent developments at the company.

>Our first item to report is the somber news that the economic downturn has necessitated the strategic reallocation of approximately 12,000 personnel from our offices in Redmond, WA, who were formerly responsible for the year-round endeavor of crafting our April Fool's jokes.

>This has unfortunately resulted in the temporary suspension of all April Fool's activity for the calendar year of 2009 while ongoing restructuring continues. The 12,000 employees have not been sacked, however, and are now all hard at work editing the voluminous text of Family Project using a single manual typewriter and half a bottle of White Out. As a result of their diligent labor the game is expected to see release some time this century.
