I read about it in the ulmf thread on this game earlier this week. It's not going to be on Steam, they were having issues getting it through the Steam review process. It was apparently mentioned on his Twitter account.

I generally avoid Twitter as well, someone was just kind enough to bring it up on ulmf. The Steam review process is a bit of a shit show. It may not feel like it as much these days, since we're seeing more H games on there, but what we're seeing is the success stories. Unless they were already following the game closely, most people won't hear about the many, many games that get blocked out.

No plans to release it elsewhere as far as I know. It's available on DLsite and in Japanese and that's it for now.
Yeah, I think people that weren't already invested in the writing quality from the previous games just used MTL, and everyone else is holding off because unko morimori maru has phenomenally good writing and we want a translation that preserves that writing quality and the puns and jokes, which are often hard for ordinary translation, let alone MTL. The problem is the level of work to do a quality translation at that level for a longer game like this seems to have scared off all the fan translators who might have otherwise done it.

Damn, I was hoping for a censorship-free version... but what about the English version? Is it just up on Dlsite now?
It's only available on DLsite in Japanese, and as far as I know there is currently no effort being made to translate it. It's a damn shame given the quality of his writing.
Edit: I was apparently misremembering. The translation wasn't canceled, there was just confusion that it was a while ago because of something on steam.

Wait, what happened to the ENG translation that was the whole point of the Steam version?
So I went back and double checked the thread on ulmf where I first got the information, and I was apparently misremembering, because before the steam page went away, there was a big thing about the steam page saying "English Language Not Supported" which had everyone panicked about meaning that the translation wasn't going to happen.
Supposedly it was just a Steam review thing, where they had to say that since at the time it didn't have an English language option. Then the whole steam page went away because the game was having trouble getting past the steam review. So supposedly somewhere in the background the translation continues. Since it's not going on steam, I'd assume it will wind up on DLsite eventually. If there's ambition, maybe it will wind up somewhere else like GOG too, but there's no word on that front, or on when we can expect the translation.
