I didn't have the time to write my comment beforehand as I usually do so here's the slightly delayed update for this month.

I've updated our VN Patch List with two new unofficial translations: one for Majikoi A+ Disc and another for Daiakuji.

The first one technically released a few months ago but it was more or less a soft launch with some of the localisation still missing (mostly UI related, I believe) and a few general issues. Recently released V2 of the patch is intended as a final version which is why it finally made it onto the list.
The latter is fresh and full from the get go though I can't say I know much more than that.

On a gaming side, I started playing D1AL-ogue. It's a cyberpunk story heavily inspired by VA-11 Hall:A (even has a direct reference to it on one of its main screens). The main difference is that drink mixing is replaced by cyber repairs in the form of a simple puzzle game. It has great are and really enjoyable, if a little clunky at times, writing. Music choices on the other hand are... not bad but they certainly aren't as good as in its inspiration. There's also no playlist, just a bunch of songs you'll have to change manually if you want to avoid looping.
As mentioned before, puzzle gameplay is pretty simple but there's fun to be had in this simplicity. You just match colour blocks on a round play space and position them according to instructions. It's a neat way to differentiate yourself from other "clones".

Game is completely free so if you're interested in android mechanic simulator/VN, I'd say it's worth a shot.

Edit: Devs dropped a new post talking about working on an expanded version of the game and improvements to English localisation. They're also planning a crowdfunding campaign for said expanded version so it looks like they're planning for it to be a significant update. Love to see it!
