I've been seeing a few people comparing Long Live the Queen to Princess Maker. It's nice to see people enthusiastic about the titles, but the developer, Hanako Games, has two Princess Maker Clones and LLTQ isn't one of them. :)
The two titles you want are Cute Knight and Cute Knight Kingdoms. Cute Knight is the older title, but these are the games that got me to Hanako Games.
There's a decent selection of english developers making Visual Novel games, the other indie VN site I spend time watching is Winter Wolves.
It's good to see these titles getting into the major digital distribution sites like GoG and Steam. In fact, Hanako Games has one of their titles, Magical Diary on Steam. Typically, these games have to be bought through BMTmicro, which, as a consumer, is not a service I'm fond of since the download links they provide have a time limit. I infinitely prefer buying a game and having it added to one of my digital libraries. Most indie developers using BMTmicro are happy to provide customers with additional download links, but this often involves an email process, rather than just re-downloading the game whenever you like.
So rejoice! Or feel ambivalent, or grumble if these games are outside your preferred genres, displease you, and you somehow read through everything I just typed despite that. Eh, whatever. Just assign your preferred emotional value.
