… is there anywhere I can actually order a copy of Togainu no Chi for the PC to use with that patch? (considering the size of my backlog I should probably be grateful if the answer is no)

Is the translation patch compatible with the Vista/7 rerelease from earlier this year? If so, Paletweb has it. Otherwise you’d probably have best luck getting it from Amazon with an intermediary. You’ll want to get a few things, though, to amortise the cost.

EDIT:

thanks, internet!

The Vista/7 Edition never leaked online so I haven’t tested it myself. I own the original edition and it works with that (with the 1.01 update). I’m hoping someone on Aarinfantasy buys the vista/7 version and can confirm it for me cause I don’t wanna have to buy the same game again just to test compatibility.

Dear lord I am looking forward to this fandisk so very, very hard. Next to Sweet Pool DRAMAtical Murder is definitely one of my favorite BL games. I’d also like to point out that a group of people on Aarinfantasy are working on an English patch for dmmd, and they’re already 54% done! I can’t believe how fast they’re progressing.

Current Overall Translation Progress: ~54% (327/602 files)
Common Route: COMPLETED
Koujaku Route: COMPLETED
Noiz Route:
Clear Route: COMPLETED
Mink Route:
True/Ren Route:

Sadly it seems that the Lamento translation project is dead and I haven’t heard anything about Sweet Pool lately either.
Sorry if this is totally irrelevant to the conversation here, I just wanted to bump this thread up and show you guys that there are some very dedicated fans out there!

There’s a Kickstarter program for a gay dating sim, Coming Out On Top. It’s already much more than met it’s goal with the game due out Jan 2014, but there’s a very long demo available to play with only one love intrest available in the demo.
The game is about a college senior who comes out and is looking for love with the support of his quirky roomates (including hunky straight Ian, who apparently will be datable in the complete game). The demo was loads of fun, and very sexy. I joined the Kickstarter program and I think anyone who’s into yaoi games will like this.
