Hmmm… apparently my tumblr page is refusing to load. Posts I make still show up on the dashboard, but the site itself isn’t showing up. And it only seems to be affecting my main blog. All my subs still display fine.
I know it was working last night, because I had actually gone to take a look at the code while helping a friend. At first I was scared I had accidentally done some damage. However, I know I didn’t make any changes to the code, so…
Not sure what I should do for now.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bara Game Roundup - Summer 2016
It’s that time again, time for the Summer edition of Bara Game Roundup! There hasn’t been much in the way of newly announced bara titles for the English market, so this installment will focus on any updates to currently released and previously announced titles.
-Upcoming Releases-
Fantastic Boyfriends: Legends of MidearthSince the developers confirmed in April of this year that the English version of the JRPG/VN hybrid, Fantastic Boyfriends: Legends of Midearth, currently sits at 30% completed, there hasn’t been much news, but this past week, 4JH App/Lifewonders LLC has revealed a brand new website chock full of newly translated information on the game. While we still don’t have a release date, nor any progress updates beyond their statement from April, things do seem to be steadily moving forward. With the development of the Japanese version wrapping up, perhaps they’ll have more resources to devote to the English release, so hopefully we’ll hear some more concrete info soon.

The End of Dreams - Chapter TwoAfter the successful release of Chapter One of The End of Dreams in both Chinese and English this past year, Studio HANA has been hard at work on finishing up the next installment of the series. As revealed via HANA’s social media, and confirmed by the game’s English translator, the second chapter is due to be released in Chinese by the end of this month! An English release for this bara RPG should follow in the not too distant future, so stay tuned! For anyone that still hasn’t had a chance to try out this game, Chapter One is available to download for free on the developer’s blog!

EldetWith the roaring success of Eldet’s recent Kickstarter campaign (over 1,200 backers helping raise
$30,000+, four times more than the initial goal), the developer of this VN, Marccus, has been gradually revealing one of the most interesting and unique aspects of this game, the secondary love interests! Beyond the six main men you can romance throughout the game, each of those major story branches also will feature a second eligible man, unique to that route, that you can also choose to pursue, should you wish. Just how each new man will work into the various routes, and whether or not their presence will be appreciated by the central characters remains to be seen, but it should definitely keep things interesting! If you’d like to see the currently revealed secondary love interests, as well as keep up on any other new information regarding the game, be sure to check out Eldet’s Development Blog! (Where you can also find a link to the free demo!)

Bastard BondsAs revealed earlier this year, the bara SRPG Bastard Bonds, developed by Captain GerBear, was submitted for release on the digital gaming platform Steam, through their Greenlight process, and was successful! This marks the first time a bara game has been made available on Steam, and is an excellent step in having bara gaming become more accessible. Also, since the game’s release, it has been met with an overwhelmingly positive reception from Steam users. (93% positive reviews from over 100 submitted.) If you’re interested in giving this game a shot, there’s also a free (and very meaty!) demo available on the dev’s official website. (Where you can also purchase the game directly, if you don’t use Steam.)

Coming Out On TopSince Coming Out On Top’s release in December of 2014, the developer Obscura has been steadily updating this popular VN with loads of content. In addition to a brand new full route for the main game, there also has been eight(!) bonus stand alone dates with original characters released, (including a date with a couple~) with two more still on the way! And all of this extra content is absolutely free for owners of the game! Talk about serious bang for your buck! To learn more about the game, including the current and upcoming bonus dates, be sure to check out the official website. (Including a free demo!)

That’s a wrap for the Summer 2016 edition of the Bara Game Roundup. Hopefully there will be some brand new announcements to feature in the next installment, but even when it seems like there’s not much news, LGBT/bara game developers still need our continuous support and encouragement, so let’s all do our best to show our appreciation! And as always, if anyone has any comments, suggestions, or corrections, please feel free to send them to me. Thanks for reading!
