Wait till they realize they have to pay for a PEGI rating...we're never getting this game in Europe.
Does anyone use a windows tablet for PC VNs? Any recommendations or feedback about the experience?
I'm looking at a surface pro but feel like it's probably overkill if VNs are going to be my main use case.

Nintendo's new console right? We're just about to start porting it.
I do! I have a cheap Windows 8 (now Windows 10) tablet that I use to play a few VNs from time to time. Honestly, PC gaming is finnicky, specially with something low specs like cheap tablets. Not all visual novels run properly, some don't even run when they clearly should, it's very hit or miss. Unless you can go big and buy a very expensive and capable tablet (like the Surface you mentioned), don't even bother.
Already have an import preorder in for Clannad. If it does end up getting localized I'll absolutely double dip.

Really can't decide if it's worth finishing the SP release on Steam or just getting it for PS4 instead...
Good news. Wishing them well and hopefully they'll be able to bring a bunch of stuff over.
ROI on Vita development must not be big enough.
No potential for future sales, since Sony EOLed the platform.
Switch is taking off around the world, better to focus there - less memory/CPU constraints, no need to downscale the artwork to 544p.
(You can still Moonlight/PS4Remote play to your Vita if you really need to read there)
Whenever Siliconera is the source you need to expect they'll screw something up.
Ughhh... and everywhere else listed it as though it was a sure thing. One website went and ruined it... So Spike-Chun has to do it now!!

Time to make annoying campaign of begging so then they wil have to release it?
Before anyone does this, I know some people who had been planning to do this for months already (and almost canceled due to the "confirmation"). I think they'll be talking with one of the Spike Chunsoft PR people soon to get the go-ahead. I'll definitely post here if anything comes out of that.
Time to get out the Phone Microwave (name subject to change).

What is it with VNs having completely stupid save/load implementations?

There are definitely things that can/should have been implemented to avoid this, but compared to other types of game, it's not surprising to see VNs commonly have easily breakable save systems. I have to imagine these engines weren't really made with post-release updates in mind, and so adjusting scenes could mean saves try to load lines that no longer exist, or load the wrong lines, and so on.
Obviously there are solutions to that (ex: if a scene has been changed, have it start at the beginning of a scene) but that depends on how you've structured the game in the code and that's again a thing you'd need to be prepared for in advance.
MG with three new announcements. Go check their twitter for the first one cause I don't really care but these two are "oh cool", and "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
This release of Kindred Spirits is a full voice version with new CGs. If you already have the base game, you can purchase the upgrades as DLC. It'll also be ported to Mac and Linux!

YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! That was my main gripe with the base version (it wasn't fully voiced), glad we're getting the remake. Hopefully the upgrade wont be too expensive.

Well played, MG. (not properly linking the tweet since it has a semi nsfw image)

It gets better:
At this point I am simultaneously dissappointed and relieved that I missed out on this Kickstarter.

Maybe they accidentally shipped one of the backers a Vita port as well.
Same... This is really starting to seem like Murphy's Law in overdrive... Can't help but feel bad for the backers tbh.
I assume this was some personalized shikishi or something?
I have to say I'm surprised when a company didn't know when they found out that mail systems are different globally :/ Why would you produce items if you didn't know how to ship worldwide?? That's honestly my biggest surprise. I still wait on my physical goods :x
I have no interest in the game but it's been bizarre to see how much they've flubbed this. Not knowing how to ship worldwide was like... did you do absolutely no prep for your campaign? That should have at least been heavily researched in advance even if you couldn't get plans in place till things were closer to shipping.
In other news, been sloooowly playing the first chapter of Chaos;Child over the past few weeks (so like 20 min/week for a bit and then a few hours in the past few days). Definitely getting a bit more hooked now; the main character is handled much better than Chaos;Head's so far and most of the cast are at the very least interesting. I don't like a lot of the character art (particularly the guys) but I'm sure I'll get used to it over time. The delusion triggers also feel overly frequent and sorta disruptive, but maybe that'll taper off?
On that note, I wish my memory of Chaos;Head was a bit less fuzzy; I found some summaries (like on Wikipedia and such) but they seem to completely ignore some aspects of it (like the cops) at times. I'm picking up on a decent number of references so far so I'm not sure I'm missing anything, but I wish I knew everything for certain. And am I right to think they added 2 New Gen murders in Noah? Cause I don't remember the last 2 at all.

From someone on r/visualnovels who got someone else's reward:
They will, first two chapters are full of them, rest of the game, not so much.
Also, real talk - Chaos;Child > Steins;Gate
Speaking of VN kickstartes, the Koropokkur in Love ~A Little Fairy's Tale~ kickstarter ended today. They didn't reach any stretch goals but at least they got funded.
One Last Crane got funded too.
