I’m thinking probably nothing from Higurashi Kai or Golden Fantasia until after Umineko Chiru comes out but I’m still going to be hopeful
Well, they’ve said that Golden Fantasia is coming out “#soon,” so news about it wouldn’t surprise me. Don’t know much on Higurashi’s status though.
I’m sure Tsumihoroboshi will pop up any day without warning
I tried that for a while but their constant flooding of news that I really don’t care about was too much for me to handle. I’ll be fine to check in here once or twice a day instead, much more fun that way anyway.
I mean, you’d probably be better off following the Rokkenjima Twitter. If there’s any Higurashi news then we’ll be sure to post about it!
Aspirety: That’s exactly my thought at well. 
Anyway, judging by the first message in this thread posted by System which cited Mangagamer to have started editing all three remaining chapters of Kai, do you guys think we’ll see the next chapters faster than before? I’m hopefully optimistic that we will.
No idea… Guess we should start bugging Mangagamer for translation updates again.
I personally hope they don’t release them all at once, but faster would be nice~
It’s very old now since it’s been posted in January of this year, but one of the translators mentioned that “We’re hoping to try and have most (if not all) the answer arcs released by the end of this year.” Since it’s been so long, it’s subject to change since then but it’s still something.
Fortunately the remaining chapters for Higurashi has already had TLC (Which I believe stands for Translation Checking in this context) and editing has been completed for months now.
The status of Higurashi, Umineko, and Golden Fantasia and the weird way on how they’re being worked on was also answered there on March.
"There’s a few different reasons. The work currently been done on Higurashi for the answer arcs is a little different than usual, so our standard weekly updates wouldn’t convey its state of progress. In the case of Umineko, we’re working directly with Witch Hunt, an independent group, so once again, it’s status is rather different from normal projects.
As for Golden Fantasia, the Umineko Fighter, there aren’t any status updates at the moment because we’re focused first on the programming aspect and making sure all of the gameplay elements will function properly, especially in terms of enabling netplay. Those goalposts have somewhat nebulous timelines, so again it’s hard to report at the moment.
I can say work is definitely being done on all three right now, and we hope to have them released as soon as reasonably possible with hurting quality."
That’s probably just a typo at end and the intention is “without hurting quality”.

Excelent news! I’ve been waiting to finish Higurashi Kai for far too long.
Golden Fantasia seems like the kind of battle game that I usually don’t like much, but since it’s Umineko I’ll approach it with a very open mind!

Woaaaaah! Excellent news!
(B-But how am I supposed to replay all of Umineko Chiru until then?)
But… the future refused to change.
It’s been seven months… What is mangagamer up to?.. Sigh

Now that Umineko is released, I hope Higurashi gets pushed more in 2018.

They probably will be. At least two will be released is what I am thinking. I think most of the reason we only got one this year was because they were working on Umineko Answers and Golden Fantasia.

I can understand/respect that Umineko’s editing would push Higurashi back. However, frankly, I’m miffed that Golden Fantasia was released before the rest of Higurashi. Especially seeing as Higurashi’s remainder was out of TLC and editing eight months ago, I just feel kind of betrayed/sidelined that Golden Fantasia, ultimately a spinoff, was prioritized.

I would imagine that there were two different teams for that seeing as all the work being done on Golden Fantasia was online multiplayer bug fixing. The team that works on the translations of Higurashi were probably doing all of Umineko while Golden Fantasia was being fixed. It was probably more happenstance then deciding that Golden Fantasia should come out first

Keep checking in every day for an update regarding the translation of Chapter 6 but still nothing. I really want that sweet Hinamizawa fix right now! (sorry if this makes any expectations go up, I just wanted somewhere to vent this).
