Also why is the KS linked in a tiny thing on the bottom?
I don't know how to give it more emphasis without looking tacky.

Wondering if that would be censored considering cultural differences on violence.

That depends on whether or not Degica just keeps whatever censoring was done for the PS3 Japanese release or if they revert things that would be ok in the west.
But while it's important I can't imagine they would cut anything that truly matters... Right? You don't take one of the highest rated VNs and chop it up.
Remove sex scenes? That's fine. I just dislike the idea of missing something that might matter. But Vita would be preferred (I'm assuming they'll reach the goal).
Ugh, decisions.
Edit: for people that know the ps3 censorship... Does it harm the game in any way?

You wouldn't be missing important content, the worry here is more that removing some of the gore might make things less impactful.
The 360 version is censored like the PS3 version correct?
Given how long Alternative is I hope some gore removal doesn't impact too much. I can always wait for reviews as well. Not like I have time to play it anytime soon (I.e. when it releases. It's been sitting on my pc unplayed for a year)
I'm seriously glad this is doing so well! It's already the most successful first day for a VN kickstarter ever! Hoping it hits at least $600,000 stretch goal but I can certainly see this hitting the $720,000 one.
CHOMP is toned down (Takeru half covers the gory part with his hand) and that BETA scene doesn't fade to black but at least it's more tasteful than the 18+ scene. Puts the focus a bit more on the dismemberment than certain parts being... "enhanced".

Put it at the top.
When I clicked on the thread I was wondering why it wasn't the first thing there.Yoshimune Kouki deserves all the success in the world as the creator of both Muv-Luv and Kiminozo. I'm looking forward to watching people going through this wild ride now that it'll release on Steam.

Going to keep an eye on this, will probably end up going for the Digital bundle. I really don't understand why so many of these projects fail to put up complete digital bundles at launch (the highest digital tier in this case misses out on the artbook even though there's obviously a digitial copy since it comes with the $150 tier).
He already has enough success to drive his own Lamborghini. Here's Kouki's Gallardo:
His Lancia Stratos:

I'll pledge if they add a Vita reward tier, otherwise no point.

It has voices. Are you confusing it with the Umineko talk above?

I guess he's come a long way from having to sell his house to fund MLA.
The stretch goal isn't there for nothing. If they meet it they'll give people a way to buy Vita copies.
Misreading previous conservation then, sorry >_>
But I'm so glad, can't back this but I'll buy the final product.
Muv-Luv series providing some of the best experience in fiction that I had.

Vita ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I bought a Windows tablet to play VNs, but controls can be a bit iffy and not everything works. It probably would have worked better if I bought one with better quality, but I didn't want to spend too much money just to play VNs.

Yeah, Muv-Luv is basically the most extreme example ever of a thing that starts out bad but gets really good later on- Extra is cheesy, stupid, and made of 100% pure high school harem/love comedy anime cliches, Unlimited is a dramatic improvement but still pretty cliche, Alternative is more than good enough to make going though the first two games worth it (and no, you should not skip either of the first two under any circumstances.) And then after you finish Alternative you go back and re-play Extra, notice all the foreshadowing for the events of Alternative they put in it, and your head fucking explodes.

I'd play these if I could get them on my Vita. BTW I couldn't see it anywhere, but is there an ETA on it?
Yeah. Extra is so intentionally awful that it almost makes you want to stop (and some friends I've introduced to the series have stopped here). It's a shame, because the payoff is great once you do push through that awfulness.
The problem is, most people won't take "it gets good later" in good faith because it's such an overused line, even though it's absolutely the case here.
Grabbed this as soon as the email came through. Nothing beats plastic models!
Honestly really happy that this KS has been a (big?) success, I've wanted to play through this series for a number of years. Hopefully it will help further interest in VNs, maybe we will see Ever 17 get re licensed one of these days. Also Muramasa, but Nitro doesn't seem too happy with their attempts at selling in the west...
Oh, wow, it's already past 350K. It's definitely hitting the Vita stretch goal, and most likely the other 2 as well.
Kinda disappointing that the Vita copy only comes with $150 or above tier. I would've been in at $100, but $150 is too much. I'll be playing this on my Vita, but I want that physical copy. I could get them separately, but that would be $120 with no soundtrack or artbook. I'll have to think this one carefully.

I really don't get why the pillowcase is $200. That's more than the difference to get the plastic models.
They do. The two "photon" discs are Altered Fable and Supplement without the porn, plus some extra side stories.

They'll probably offer a Vita copy as an add-on, no?

Also, see the FAQ. This info wasn't in VNDB so I added it from the FAQ.
There will be an 18+ patch.

Will buy this for Vita!

Where are you getting the pricing on the Vita from? I don't see any place they've detailed that. We probably won't know until the stretch goal is met.
Who said this? Someone from Degica? The Vita port is being done in Japan and there were implications that they'd also release the port in Japan, so it makes sense that it would be handled better than with Sekai Project.
It's in there, under the stretch goal for Android and Vita:
"With everyone's efforts in unlocking the goal, people who have pledged 150$ and above can choose one port digital copy for free!"

Ah missed that. Hopefully they add other methods of acquiring it because it'd be pretty shitty to lock a digital copy under such a high tier. I imagine that they probably will make some changes though.
Oh, will this be an official one at least? If so, that's good, my interest is renewed.
(fact is, I always failed installing the game on my PC, so an official release would help :V )

Their exact quote from the Prefundia:
So yes, it seems official. They can't talk about it on the Kickstarter page though because of KS's policies on adult material.

Eh to be fair, I love the idea. Starting things as a cute dating sim and then everything going insane into a post apocalyptic thing.
Also, I hope the PC version will be touch screen friendly.
