Well, already own all the GAs you've put up so far---but, well, why the hell not? I funded 'digital copy tier' anyway..
Just be sure to do Starlight of Aeons as the next giveaway... and only for backers... that signed up in the last hour... who are specifically me. XD Seriously though, best of luck on the goal.

We have no plan to make an 18+ version but this game may have some implicit nudity and fanservice.

Oh boy... Not to be contentious or rude - and please correct me if I am wrong - but that's just the worst of both words though, isn't it?
By doing that, no one can take your story seriously. If you meant for it to be a serious game that touches on various human emotions and relations in the wake of cancer, all of that falls into water as any and all integrity (and legitimacy) of the story is lost and it instead becomes otaku/neet/weeb fantasy fulfillment (on top of all the ill-conceived tonal shifts).
Yet ironically, if you don't fully commit to the pornographic part of the game, then it just comes off as half-assed erotica doesn't give the consumer what they want.
I do like VNs as a medium, but I do wish Western authors would stop emulating Japanese ones... If you want to write a serious or even lighthearted story, do it - and don't ruin it with unwarranted sexual pandering ("fanservice", such a dumb term); If you want to write erotica or porn, do that and don't surround it with pseudo-serious dramatic content.
Worst thing I can see on Steam is a some big VN that the fanboys hype-up as some literal masterpiece, but then I find out it has a "18+" patch/version.
Good luck either way...

Not to be contentious or rude, but the guys working on this game aren't "Western authors." :P

Thanks for the info. I did honestly mean it when I said "not to be contentious or rude" jsyk, so thanks for being polite too.

This isn't a novel written by any Western authors though it is developed in English. Thank you for your advice, we'll seriously consider it.

My bad, I didn't know!
Assuming your were being hones about the "advice"t: Glad to hear that. Just my PoV, which seems to be oddly-enough very alien to anime fans...
If you weren't: I understand, but I do stress I wasn't trying to be mean or anything. :S

Will the LN and Manga be available for purchase once the game is launched on Steam?
Comment has been collapsed.
It depends. Our current plan is to release two exclusive DLCs unavailable for purchase on Steam, only for the pledgers of Light Novel Tier and Manga Tier.

If it's not a complete rehash of the content in the VN and you are not limited by contract, please consider putting them up for sale. I can see it's a bragging right for the owner of limited/backer edition, but please limit them to purely cosmetic items/features.

It's been three years since I've devoted my spare time to game development related things.
Things in this year for me is a little different, I cooperate with some awesome people abroad for the first time and we have a joint production on a new visual novel called "One Last Crane". It's a story centered on a boy named Yuuki Murakami who has a brain tumor. After a long year of treatment without any positive results, Yuuki asks for his final wish: to return to his hometown and fulfill his promise to meet again with his childhood friend, Saki Nishimura. However, things are hard for him.
Now we are holding a Kickstarter campaign for this visual novel. In Japanese "paper crane" is usually written as "千羽鶴（せんばづる）", which means a thousand paper cranes. It is said that anyone who have a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish. Making this project come trus is my wish, now we already have about 500 out of 1000 cranes, will anyone help fold a paper crane for us?

Please help us spread the word, every shout from you means the world to us. Thank you very much for your support.
As mentioned in the title, here are giveaways you may have interest on, among the games we've published, Coffin of Ashes is my personal favorite one, but Gun Wings is not bad in my mind. (the brush writing used in the title banner is also written by me)
