For those still wanting the Reflection Blue content in the West, a fan patch has just been released

It's so good this patch is finally out. Visual Arts should have released this version on Steam to begin with, hence it's no wonder fans have had to step in.

I hope key don't waste the fans effort if they actually localize themself, . This game can do partnership with alka, there game called trails from zero and trails to azure that using fan localization for official release.

This is sadly where the JP VN makers fall flat, they realise the western potential when its too late, once fan patches are out they then decide to officially translate... which means less sales as many just wont buy something they already read. I myself continue to support official projects but I wont say i don't understand the people who don't after waiting years with no release or announcement and then get one after the fans step up.

That is great news!

Though, I still hope that there will be a official release of reflection blue.
Its a shame that it was only the base game to begin with, but now that there is a English fan translation.... why would anyone not just pay the extra bit, go to DL-site and then use the fan-translations to get the full expierence.

And to add to that, publishers may look at this and say ''The English translations are not selling so we will stop translating them''.
I would almost say, that Key just buys the fan-translation or something and releases it as DLC or something. But that will not happen.

This has been an pretty big thing since they started showing interest in official TL of more than hardcore porn VN's mangagamer was well known for in the beginning. They almost universally aimed at properties that had well regarded fan TL cause they thought it was more of a sure thing to recoup their costs. If anything I wonder if the fan TL will get them off their ass sooner.

Hello there HaruIsMyWaifu,

Thanks for the link to Blue reflection.
I have installed it, as well as the fan translation and just started on the adventure.

So far looks Identical to the original game. But I am sure that will change.

Can you tell me if this title and the fan translation I acquired through the link you provided is All Ages or if it is R18?

I would like to know what I am getting myself into Before anything unexpected pops up.

Key no longer makes R18 games. Summer Pockets was created long after they stopped. I believe the original Kud Wafter was their last R18 game, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Additionally most of Key's games which had R18 versions have received substantial content updates over the years, but only to the All Ages version, and those are generally considered the definitive versions with the most content and best version of the story. Since Key no longer makes R18 games, most theier R18 games are kind of stuck in the past at lower resolution, too.

Thanks for the REFLECTION BLUE patch,but it is the english version.Where can i found a chinese version bro?(Although i have a good command of english,but to some extent, chinese,my mother tongue fits me better.)

[Navitas]

Just picked this up to try myself. Expensive.... almost had to close my eyes when buying it...
Bit fiddly to get the English patch and everything working too.
I'm going into this knowing next to nothing about this game so hopefully the extra content is worth it!
If it gets a proper release on steam I'll probably grab it again (hopefully for much cheaper!) as the character spacing is still a little off.
