AX booth poster

>New thread for AX visual novel stuff

>Manga Gamer
>Announced thus far- Higurashi, Shuffle, Shin Koihime Musou. Multiple new companies on their ad (see image). This ad is likely old, so a surprise announcement with a company not listed is possible, as evidence we already had a deal with 07Expansion (Higurashi) announce, and that isn't on this flyer. Regardless we should expect multiple announcements of several games from their partner companies at their panel. Their panel is 10pm on the 4th.

>Jast- Had their panel last night, transcript of the panel
>http://bayoab.info/live/live2.php?panel=3.
>Highlights
>Family Project is Golden Master, it will be released by the end of this month. They have a partnership with Nitro+ now, Demonbane and Jingai Makyou were announced, and they said they have at least one more game from this partnership, and will likely have many more if these titles are successful. They said they would like to have both of these out by this time next year. In addition, they announced two games from the Yukkuri Panic Series, and gave some estimated release dates, Cat Girl Alliance this Fall, Downhill Night titles beginning this Fall, and Raidy II this winter.

>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

So he bought the supposed CP at AX, IN the US, then got nabbed by the TSA monkeys?

Sounds like a lot of horseshit, or a whitehatting asshole of a prosecutor.
