From a post on GAF, Uchikoshi spoke to 4 Gamer recently.
その古沢良太さんなのですが、Wikipedia で調べたところ、ぼくと同じ1973年の生まれみたいです。つまり40歳の同い年。来年は本厄になります。というと、なにやら不吉な感じがしますが、40歳は別 名「不惑」とも言って、孔子によれば、心の惑いがなくなる歳でもあるそうです。「四十にして惑わず」ってやつですね。ぼくの心はまだまだ「惑い」に満ちあふれて いますが、それでも目的地だけは見失わないよう、がむしゃらに突っ走っていきたいと思っています。来年はいろいろと新しいことに挑戦する年になりそうです。発表 されるタイトルもいくつかあるでしょう。その中には常軌を逸した変態的な作品もあるかもしれません（笑）ぜひともご期待ください！
Translation:
When I looked up Ryouta Kosawa [an author he mentioned earlier in the interview] on Wikipedia, I saw he was born in 1973, just like me. In other words, we're both now entering our 40s, so this next year is going to be critical. Actually, it's a little ominous, but one's 40s are also called "fuwaku" [a Japanese term for one's 40s meaning, roughly, "being without misdirection/not being lost"], right? According to Confucius, these are the years when the bewilderments of one's heart vanish; in other words, once you get to be 40, you stop losing your way. I think there's still a lot of delusions and misdirections in my own heart, but even still, I want to keep charging forward in life without losing sight of where I'm going. Next year it seems I'll be facing a lot of new challenges. There's also a couple of games that'll be announced too, I think. One of them might even be a really unusual, deviant kind of game <laughs>. Please look forward to it!
So maybe ZE3 could be one of those games, or maybe its been put back for a bit, who knows?

Nothing new really.. doesn't sound that good. But at least he recognises its been a long wait. We have to be patient.

Uchikoshi created a new Twitter account for tweeting in English yesterday, and he begins explaining the situation from his first tweet. https://twitter.com/Uchikoshi_Eng
It's clear that he wants to make ZE3. It's just that the managers don't want to greenlight it due to past sales figures. Sounds like he might work on something else if he can't find a way to greenlight it in another way, but if the next game is ultimately successful, the management may be more open to ZE3. He may also look at crowdfunding options, but who knows if anything will come of that.
I'll be sure to bring any further news from his Twitter account here.

As for a kickstarter project, although that sounds a neat idea, doesnt the decision to start such a project rest with the suits in Japan anyway? :(
If it didnt sell well in Japan, what can he (Uchikoshi) do?

It does sound like some of the managers would like to see ZE3 as well, but they can't ignore the numbers. If he could convince them to try a crowdfunding project like Inafune did, maybe there might be a chance there. Of course, a major difference is that Inafune leads his own company, so he can more or less just decide to do that himself.
Now, about that article:
Didn't know Visual Novels were a (big) niche in Japan, but I guess it makes sense. Hard to imagine that genre being widely popular now that I think about it, even in Japan. Even if there are some really good products of that genre. Funny that the niche appears to be bigger than that.
"As a matter of fact, I'm the total opposite of a serious person."
Despite writing some really serious scenarios for 999 and VLR, huh. Interesting. Of course, those had some levity, but still.
"I wanted to create a game where you couldn't do that, because the puzzle is part of the story – there's a hidden clue within the puzzle, and if you don't clear the puzzle you can't move forward in the story."
I guess removing the puzzles in the iOS port of 999 wasn't a decision made by him.
"In the future, I'd like to write love stories or more human drama and things like that."
Hmm... wonder what that would be like. Considering past games like Ever17, it'd probably still have tons of twists like 999 and VLR.
Sounds like he is working on other non-VN games right now for narrative or as director. Wonder if any will stand out. And he's thinking of a genre mash-up too... Ace Attorney is like that, so yes please!

BTW I just became friends with Uchikoshi on FB and voiced my support. I know he's accepting everyone's requests but I still thought that was kinda cool.
On his news feed he said "We're now considering other options" which (maybe) sounds hopeful.

Though I guess without a Zero Escape 3 on the horizon we'll never know.

I heard people say that the new game that Kotaro Uchikoshi is working with Mages could actually be Zero Escape 3 which I hope that it is true
