Aoi Shiro, Success's formerly-PS2-only follow-up to Akai Ito, is getting a PC release! Complete with extended scenarios, new and redrawn CG (all also converted to high-res), and the appearance of characters from Akai Ito! Release date is set for November 11th.

It's about damn time, IMO, and I hope Akai Ito won't be far behind.

I'm all over this. Looks like the release date is 11/21, though. I'm also planning to get the new "What a beautiful..." title from Liar-soft in November; could turn out to be a busy month.

Sounds nice. Hopefully Akai Ito will come out for PC too then, so the translation can be made into a proper patch... *dreams*

An update at the Pia Carrot translation project:

09-13-08 I basically dropped the ball on this and neglected to translate the last block of additional text that was dumped a couple of months ago. Anyway, I finally got up the motivation to finish it and it's been handed over for insertion. That's all for now.

My "visual novel" alert was set off again. For a moment I thought they licensed the CLANNAD game. That would have been sweet.

"Active Anime contacted Matt Greenfield about the announced acquisition, and he did vefiried [sic] that ADV has landed the anime. No word on when the series will arrive on DVD."

People living the the UK might be interested in this story

as it is, the extreme porn policy that will come into affect in the UK should have been bad for the normal porn. But if even *written* porn can get you into trouble... than I guess this means no more hentai for those living in the UK (well no more extreme hentai (heheheeee) )

Wait, does this mean they actually finished the game this time?

Complete or not, the design is fundamentally broken. They'd serve themselves best by removing the game elements and rewriting the whole thing into a standard visual novel.
