I really hope people are reaching out to JAST USA. If enough of us do then maybe we can convince them to pick up Great Deceiver. It will be extremely disappointing if no more Empress titles get localized and release uncensored. I've been legit considering offering them a five-figure donation (2) to help push them to localize this title. I'm sure I could pay for someone to do a fan translation itself at that point, but I want the real deal with it being officially released an uncensored.
Probably fapped to Starless more than any other game, and it always starts and ends with Marie for me. So it'd be a damn shame if this is the end...
the problem is, most if not all Empress games tend to have extreme content of sort (scat, bestiality, gore...etc)
and that's a red line for the U.S , that's why trying to license any of Empress games is a real trouble for any official release group, JAST USA had to cut content from the game and somehow were able to release an unofficial uncut version later on
and in the end it wasn't even worth all that trouble sales-wise, let's be honest here, Starless is definitely not for everyone
JAST probably think Empress isn't worth the trouble they go into
as for fan translations...I said before you'd need a decent programmer who knows both english and japanese
first, you need to remove the script files from the game (need some software for that) translate the script and then re patch the files into the game, re patching is where things get complicated, beside many fan translations are machine translations
so in the end you get a half assed translation and the game still censored, unless you found a good translator
probably if the content isn't too extreme in Great Deceiver JAST might pick it up with enough demand or so I hope
