Can a Japanese speaking /jp/er try to get us an update on Otome Function. Could you ask the devs to start a crowd funding campaign
in order to speed up the development process. I personally would be willing to dish out $100 on it. Their contact page is here:

Didn't the artist did art for another games already?

Why would your idiot ass think a crowdfunding campaign would speed them up?

Why would it not speed things up? Being an indie dev myself, I realize how hard it is to get something done. Being a full time software engineer for a local startup consumes most of my time, so I am only able to put a fraction of my time into my own projects. If any of my projects got crowd funded I could quit my job and work on my project full time. I guess websites like kickstarter have received a bad reputation with certain people running away with the funds, but I doubt that would be the case with these guys.

Assuming they started development of this game in 2008 then they're approaching their 7th or 8th anniversary.

Here is the dev's blog:

To the japanese speaking /jp/ers, let us know if you find anything important.

They have too much characters. They need to accept the fact that they're behind on schedule and drop one of the characters. I would keep Kousaka Rino and Mochizuki Nonoka and save the other two girls for later. Assuming this game has similar gameplay to Hizashi no Naka no Riaru, then you're essentially multiplying the development hours that it took to make one girl by a factor of four. Combine that with the fact that Otome Function has a more complex art style than Hizashi no Naka and it's not surprising that they're in development hell.

INO is probably not the bottleneck since she's released quite a lot of other works in the meantime this has been in development.

Since it says it will anounce something "personal" that must be it.

Hell no.
Don't even get me started on iVirgin either.

The biggest problem with this will be that the concept was nice 8 years ago but you can find it in cheap games nowadays like RJ136140.

They're probably going to drop the original game and remake it in Unity.

No, just concept videos on one of the BugBug CDs.
I'm confident it'll be out sooner than Otome Function, though.

Assuming that Otome Function is the spiritual successor to Hizashi no Naka no Riaru then I find any comparison to it to be laughable. Hizashi was a one of a kind masterpiece. Some people have reported fapping to that game at least 30 times. There's so much hidden scenes and gameplay elements. I don't know of a single 2D eroge game that comes close to its level of depth.

Hopefully Otome Function will have the same gameplay but with more characters and scenarios. Not likely though, I just don't think it's possible with the new art style. Its uber long development time might be proof that they're trying to do something special with this game.

Yeah sorry for my ignorance, couple of hours after that post I was into the first scene and well... how did I miss this gem untill now, wow.
Ultra edition apparently adds scenes and animations, which are god tier.
