Higurashi's already released in varying capacities, and if the art bothers you it's probably less your speed. I prefer vns that have actually good writing. I'm not reading novels for waifu fap bait.

Higurashi is getting a new translation, too. Even if you don't care about the art, that's kind of a big change.
And only a single one of the announcements could qualify as waifu fap bait, really. So I'm not sure where the vitriol is coming from.
But moving along, you ever give Kara no Shoujo a go?

[frostshotgg]

Eh, translation doesn't exactly matter to me. Most of the best stuff isn't translated anyways, so if you're interested you're going to have to take the dive and learn moon. Yes, I've read KnS, as well as Cartagra and KnS 2. Good reads.

[ToonyMan]

None of the good novels are coming to steam, move along. None of the stuff MG announced is worthwhile, move along.
Comyu was decent, though. Certainly not more than a 6/10 or so, but better than most of the crap MG puts out.

Probably going to finish Comyu soon. Do you have a VNDB page?

Do you think KnS 2 is an improvement over the original? I'd like to try Cartagra too but those moonrunes...

The last route almost isn't worth it. It's mostly Kagome being a bitch and not suffering consequences, but it was nice in that Hisoaka gets to be the only character to tell her to go fuck herself and mean it.

KnS 2 is really close to 1. It's pretty much second verse same as the first. If you want to read Cartagra, at this point you'll probably get it faster by waiting. It's very, very close to being released; it's done being translated and edited but the technical guy is making the engine behave. KnS 2 is also being worked on, but if you're willing to grind through it slowly while you can read it with a text hooker and some basic grammar.

The whole uproar surrounding the game was precisely about there being sexual bits, but isn't it more offensive to dismiss emotion, romance and sexuality in the lives of the disabled ?

[frostshotgg]

What, are you talking about Katawa Shoujo? It's hated because it's mediocre at best and the fanbase is worse than the demonspawn of bronies and whovians or whatever they call themselves.

[Apokaladle]

I don't have much experience with visual novels, but I found Katawa Shoujo quite charming, and I've never run into any horrible fans. Then again, maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I know a lot of people who were really into VNs recommended 999 to me, and that left me completely cold.

True, most of the good VNs are untranslated. I can read moon, too, but I think most of the people here can't. And for those that can't, this does make a pretty big difference.

If you liked KnS, you might want to give euphoria a go. It's advertised as essentially a torture porn nukige, but it's really much more than that. I think it's very much possible to enjoy reading it without enjoying the sex parts.

[Leafsnail]

What would you regard as the best untranslated VNs?

I'm going to be the butthurt guy here and say I liked The House in Fata Morgana, at least the two chapters the demo shows. Does it go to shit after that or something?
Because that VN was pretty far from being waifu fap bait, especially the second chapter.

[Krath]

I'm pretty damn happy Chou Dengeki Stryker is getting a Steam release. That's gonna be a must-buy for me.

[frostshotgg]

What would you regard as the best untranslated VNs?

Of the ones I've read, Cross Channel, Baldr Sky, Subahibi, and the Grisaia sequels. I haven't read a lot of the stuff praised as kamige, so I can't say absolutely, but those rank highly regardless.

I missed that announcement; Fata Morgana is decent, solid read but not life changing.

Following.

Also noting that Steam is getting Hatoful Boyfriend.  Or maybe it's released already.  I can't remember.

[Trapezohedron]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this earlier, but Steins;Gate does have an official English translation by JAST USA. And those who like Spice and Wolf can look forward to World End Economica, which is on Steam and has an English translation.

My Girlfriend Is the President

"If you've always wished your porn games had more political debates and international diplomatic impasses in them, My Girlfriend Is the President is the game for you. The plot starts when an alien spaceship crashes into the White House and kills the entire Japanese government (yeah, the game can't quite decide what continent it takes place on). To cover up the disaster, the alien in the spaceship brainwashes the entire planet into thinking the president is actually a random teenage girl ... who happens to be your next door neighbor.

Since you're the only one who knows the truth, the alien names you vice president. At this point, you reach that important moment in every young man's life when you must decide whether to pursue romance with the president, your other neighbor (and childhood friend) turned chief of staff, a female version of Vladimir Putin ("Russian President Putina") or the physical embodiment of the alien spaceship. All of whom look like 12-year-old girls.

As far as we know, this is the only dating game where your objectives include solving a missile crisis in North Korea (which isn't even a metaphor for boners), dealing with the political tensions between Japan and Russia (caused by the fact that both presidents have a crush on you) and still finding time to spy on the girls as they're bathing nude together. Thankfully, you have a squad of crack commandos at your disposal to help you with that last mission.

Meanwhile, you and all the other characters still have to attend high school, because, come on, you're teenagers, and not doing that would be unrealistic. The school scenes are pretty much normal, except one of the teachers is a panda with spectacles and another one is secretly an evil alien hiding under the most inconspicuous disguise ever: a combination between a child-molesting priest, Emperor Palpatine and a Nazi scientist.

In the end, you and the girls team up to fight Evil Space Nazi Pope, and everything goes back to normal. Whether your brain will ever do the same thing remains unclear."
