Any more information on release date for Honey Select DLC?
8
The "announcement" at AX was pretty vague (although positive). Just hoping there might be more definitive information coming Soon(tm) since that was a couple months ago.

Bump. I'd like some news, too. I played the game for a while, but I've been sitting on it waiting for the DLC. A lot of fan made stuff is unusable without it.

Any details on what's in the DLC? I assume new cloths, hair styles, etc but any new maps?cut & pasted my old comment from the store page
Japanese version DLC includes =
*Additional personalities = Bewitching (mature seductress), Active (playful little sister), Sincere (friendly girl-next-door type)
*new sex positions, inc. girl-on-girl, 3-way (1 guy & 2 girls, 2 guys & 1 girl) and tentacles.
*new events inc. 2 girls propositioning the player simultaneously.
*New locations (classroom, tavern, flesh-cavern, hot springs, S&M dungeon, game-show studio)
*Heaps of new clothing & accessories, inc. lots of fantasy/sci-fi weapons and armor for battle arena.
*Battle Arena = combat strategy game where you send your girls into battle.

Bumpity bump.
It'd be really nice for someone, anyone from Fakku to give us an update. While I think we can all appreciate that these things take time, there seems to be a bit less communication than most of us would like. Surely it is not asking too much for an update on the upcoming DLC every few months? Especially since most of those asking have already purchased the game.

The information provided was that on the business side there was some discussion about pricing etc.
But what are the challenges from a technical perspective?
Are the games coded in Japanese and all parameters need to be translated to English?
Does the dlc have a lot of ingame text that needs to be translated?
Are there a lot of textures that feature text that need to be redone from scratch?
Is the uncensoring causing a lot of extra work because the Japanese version was not created with that feature in mind?
Will any potential new illusion games be quicker to translate because they will be created with an English version in mind?

HS Battle Arena (2nd major dlc) might be a pain in the ass to localise since there is apparently an online component (not sure, haven't played it), but I see no reason why the 1st major dlc (Honey Select Party) could not have had a Fakku release already. The Hongfire modding community had this cracked and translated within a couple of months in 2017. Adding this to HS Unlimited would add tons of content and solve a great many mod-compatability issues.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, fully fan-translated and de-censored versions of the bootlegged Japanese edition, incorporating at least HS Party, have long been available since before HS Unlimited was even announced by Fakku. It's perplexing after all this time that HS Unlimited is still restricted to the base package.
It would be a really good idea for some communication regarding further updates to HSU right about now, no matter how trivial.
EDIT = I can confirm that there are de-censored, translated versions of Honey Select equivalent to the current Japanese release, fully patched with all the DLC currently missing from HSU (= Honey Select Party, Studio NEO and Battle Arena). These have been independently produced by English and Chinese modding communities.
Whatever is holding up progress with HSU has nothing to do with the technical aspects of the game. While I'd never advocate piracy, if there aren't any impending updates and if Illusion continues to insist on full price for each separate DLC package... well sadly HSU has no hope.

So I found some quite exciting pictures about "Honey Select party" on the illusion website, but unfortunately I can't read Japanese so the site is hard for me to navigate...
Can someone explain what these are and if we can expect all of this content in the FAKKU! version?

Fakku Staff, please acknowledge our request. Its ok to tell us that it isnt going to be ready soon, we understand the difficulties involved in price and translation. We just want to be updated.

Fakku has been tight with respect to how the advance of the honey select update is going, the pirated version has blocked online features only available in Japan, I hope that the fakku version also has those options available.
I am subscribed to AltotDev twitter to stay informed about it.
