ZOMG SUBAHIBI IS DEAD.

>>10030015
wahhhh moogy u baka!111

Dramatical Murder is at 65% for those who are interested.

Not many interesting projects with green, huh.
Maybe it's just me.

How dare you purposely left Fuwanovel's first translation project out!

Rejoice, people, for there will be finally a Da Capo III machine translation.

http://vndb.org/r23703

So how about that Baldr Sky, eh fellas

>>10030036
Never to be translated, like so many VNs.

>>10030036
rip in peace

>>10030021
Rewrite's still moving at a steady rate whilst there is progress for Princess Maker 5. Would like to see Majikoi moving again but it updated last week so at least it's still alive.

But honestly there's not much to comment this week, all the steady projects have continued to report progress.

Not sure how I feel about Kud Wafter though, it looks pretty shit to me.

>Hunks Workshop - ~75% rough translation

>>10030015
>>10030036
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4Ho4uZLf14

I'm satisfied as long as Grisaia is green.

>>10030030

I wonder what MangaGamer will say to that.

Is Gamepatch finally putting out Tick Tack?

>>10030036

>Overall progress: 23834/91443 (26.06%) lines

Did it decrease since the last time?

>>10030074
Mangagamer currently doesn't plan on working on Da Capo III.The series aren't being profitable AFAIK

Aroduc has 2 blocked forums up. What does it mean!? Probably nothing.

>Mangagamer
>We're going to release a game that we've gotten a bunch of requests for and we think will be really popular.
>HERE'S TICK TACK!

Remember all those hilarious people speculating that it might be OreTsuba?

>>10030095

It's Twinkle Crusaders.

>>10030019
Neat. If this keeps up may have it by the start of 2013.

Twinkle Crusaders translations when?
I don't really need it, but I want my friends to play it too.

The best thread of the week is here again!

>>10030100
>>10030107
That coincidence is 2spooky.

>>10030102
I believe that they said they wanted to release the full patch by the end of this year.

I would have prefered Essence+ or Really? Really! over Tick! Tack!, but I'll take what I can. Hopefully those two titles can make it over

>>10030122

The real question is why they go with the most shitty Naval series and don't bring, let's say, Sekai Seifuku Kanojo over. That would be an interesting title, at least.

>>10030143
Or even Tsubasa. At the very least that has an anime to help boost sales a bit here.

>>10030117
Good to hear. Hadaka Shitsuji should be getting released around then too, so we can expect a fabulous Christmas.

With this trend it'd be great if Lamento and Sweet Pool got some focus next year.

>>10030149
Apparently shuffle was far and away their best selling game

>>10030158
Not surprising, really. Shuffle is for some strange reason a fairly popular series. Koihime Musou is too polarizing with its historical edge, and Higurashi has that art.

>>10030015
What are the chances of another partial patch coming out before the end of the year?

>>10030190
0

>>10030158

That says a lot about MGs customer base.

>>10030159

Oretsuba is way too serious for MG. I fear they will never again pick up non-nukige/moege title after the Kara no Shoujo debacle.

>>10030149
Lamento has been unofficially picked back up by someone who has done many of the scripts already, but they don't seem to have a team or anything yet. The thought of them working solo is a bad one, hopefully it works out. I can't recall where I saw it exactly, but you can find their posts on aarinfantasy.

>>10030107
I'm unofficially working on PSS's demo for now. If that fuels any kind of interest in a real translation, then that's all for the better, I guess.

A berserk Illear is love too.

>>10030197
oretsuba has a serious plot? Looks like one of those comedy high school things.

>>10030107

We all know you don't have friends anon. You don't have to lie here

>>10030117

I think that might be a bit over-ambitious. I'd put DMMd at early next year. Hadaka should have a patch out by Xmas (editor had to take a couple weeks off because of exams) though.

>>10030097
>Remember all those hilarious people speculating that it might be OreTsuba?

To be fair, they got the company right.

Tick Tack is 0.77MB and will surely sell well, OreTsuba is 3.77MB and will have questionable sales. It's obvious why they want Tick Tack

Though those hoping for OreTsuba, it is good news that Navel is talking with MG again after nothing for a couple years, which is an important prerequisite

>Princess Maker 5- 59% translated

W-what...really!? For real? Wait, how long has this been going on, how often does it go on and is there hope for a full patch before 2014!?

I've been out of the loop for a while, did Daiteikoku get dropped at some point? I haven't seen it on the list in a few months I think.

>>10030397
They finished working on it.

>>10030404
Ah, true. Thanks for the heads up.

>>10030397
I'm currently translating it

>>10030397
The group working on it did quit but there is a very amateur group working through google docs to translate the CORE route.

Forecast: Not good.

>>10030303
Well yeah, I mean the people who I talk to on the internet.

>>10030190

There might not even be another partial because of various reasons. Mostly because vvav doesn't want to translate the remaining ero in Invention.

>>10030095

He started working on his next project because the current one is translated but stuck at hacking/image editing.

>>10030714
>He started working on his next project because the current one is translated but stuck at hacking/image editing.
He already finished it? Must not have been very long.

>>10030743

About 15k lines.

>>10030714
He should have called in the genius hacker Cudder.

Somebody translate Crayon Tulip

>>10030793
But I'm already translating it.

>>10030800
Don't bother, I'm almost done translating it already.

>Baldr Sky - Translation of new scripts stalled for a few weeks while existing scripts get revised.
I guess this is really dead huh. ;_;

>>10030804
How far are you

>>10031144
First pass finished, save for ero. My revision pass will begin shortly.

>>10030097
At some point we made a tally of requests that we got in the license threads on the forums, through email, and on the blog. What we found was Tick Tack and Really Really were the most requested titles. Really Really actually was a little higher up, but Tick Tack came first chronologically.

>>10031183
Oops, meant to post this. I realize at this point that adjusting the colors and flipping horizontally was kind of a dick move.

I wish Tick Tack or Really Really would get translated. Shuffle was my first VN about four years ago. I wanna find out what happens in the rest. For old times sake.

>>10031220
Well seeing that MangaGamer has Tick Tack, and probably wants to get Really Really, you shouldn't have that much to worry about.

>>10031210
What am I supposed to be looking at here?

>>10031326

That's the teaser image MG posted like a month ago.

>>10031183
Why still no Essence+?

>>10031453
I've been hoping that they'd do it too... I imagine if the fandisks do good it might get translated, but I couldn't say for sure.

is there a crack for boob war yet :(

>>10031183
Consider this a formal request for Oretsuba.

I know it'll never happen. I guess Ixrec is our only hope at this point.

>>10031567
Yes.

>>10031584

where? the mangagamer one right

>>10031597
What?

No 11eyes makes me sad.

>>10031637
No. 11eyes makes me sad.

>>10031649
No, 11eyes makes me. Sad.

>>10031586

It won't happen because MG can't afford it.

>>10031637

New translators and old staff currently considering bringing the project back

http://vnsociety.wordpress.com/tst/

>>10031739
I really hope they will work on it again.

http://www.erojiji.net/index.php?/topic/3087-classified-information/
From these five SS, which one do you like and want to be translated?

>>10032185
they still haven't finished their project yet they make a side project? and their primary project is moving slowly so.. finger crossed to this news

>>>/lit/3132927
There is hope for Baldr Sky

>>10032202
They're machine translating anyway.

>>10032218
well, at least their machine translating project is seemed to be more readable than cud-tan's FH looking at their SS

>>10032244
I think your post tells us all we need to know about what you find readable.

>>10030149

> Sweet Pool

yes please.

The guy in charge of the Rance translation hasn't updated his page in a while. Rance 3 is now at 49% and super secret Rance 5D is at 77%.

>>10032918
[citation needed]

>>10032954
It was stated in the Alicesoft/Rance general. You can look at it in the archive if you want.

>>10032980
Here's a pic of the translators' posts.

I just notice that the Rance translation website header was updated to those percentages. Must have been done earlier today.

>>10032918

>>10032215
I don't even really care how fast the progress is, I'm just glad to hear that it's moving forward.

>>10033632
But it's not.

>>10033656
The posts in the linked thread indicate otherwise.

>>10033736
"Entering the later stages of months long revision" is far from "moving forward."

>>10034039
That's exactly what "moving forward" means. Are you retarded?

>>10034051
>Moving forward to reach where I was 3 months ago

If your definition of forward begins with first moving backward, then yes, it's "moving forward"

>>10034077
I shouldn't need to explain this, but since you appear to be dense, I'll help you out. If revision needs to happen before the translation can be considered complete, then progress on revision is the same as progress toward completion.

You're just upset that it's not moving forward fast enough for your taste. If a rushed, shitty patch is what you want, why don't you ask Cudder to translate Baldr Sky for you? I'm sure it wouldn't take very long at all to run all the scripts through Google Translate.

>>10034097
>U MAD U MAD U MAD
Sure thing, bro. It's not your failure to understand what forward means. I'm seething with rage over the lack of translation on a game I've already read. You got me.

I'm excited about Stein's Gate

Does anyone have an idea when it will be released?

>>10034115
It's being revised, which means it's moving backwards and will thus never be released.

>Ef: The Latter Tale - work on hold until after minori's next release in Japan

>>10034307
I NEED PICTURES, PARKER. PICTURES OF MOOGY.

Is it just me or are these threads like groundhog day? There's someone who posts a picture of wall Moogy and some argument where people get hung up on semantics with the possibility of the thread ending on someone getting in a heated discussion with Cudder.

It's been going at a steady rate ever since it was picked up again.
Ignoring the hiatus, it's progressing smoothly. I compliment them.

And PM5 is a great PM game. The progress really is quite sweet.

>>10034783
God beware, what's moogy doing there?

>>10035210
He sticks himself onto every halfway promising project he can just to get his name on them. He never does any actual work.

>>10032980
>>10032918
I don't really have enough energy to care all that much. But I will state it again, splitting the VN community was fucking stupid. We had a /vn/ board, and now it's all scattered.

Granted that having /v/ browser frequent /jp/ would surely have messed things up some, but this was no improvement and we no longer have a designated VN board.

>>10034126
>It's being revised, which means it's moving backwards
The leaked patch is pretty horrible though. This revision has been a long needed and awaited one.

Does no one remember when everyone but those new to the translation scene simply laughed at the project with its shady status reports? There was no way that they would have broken the speed record by almost 100% compared to guys like Ixrec and Aroduc.

The project was naive from the start. But I hold them in high regard for actually sticking with it rather than simply dropping it by the end of the anime adaptation as many predicted. A quality product was promised, and if they keep working at it like this, it might become a reality some day.

>>10034783
Looking forward to Commie quality.

>>10035189

Agreed. If they keep this pace up then a full translation be the end of next year is very much possible.

Then can we hope for PM4 to get the same treatment?

>>10035359
I think it was okay considering it was:
A newbie's work
A newbie's work that nobody had even given a once-over

>Expert Witness: Moogy
should be:
>Jehova Witness: Moogy

> All the people from Amaterasu were busy and didn’t/couldn’t work on it at all.

As if anyone from Amaterasu would have anything to do with Moogy's lot after their constant tryhard trolling and assorted harrassment. He needs to get over his Ixrec fixation.

>>10035945
Awesome. Very refreshing.

>>10036011
>I think it was okay considering it was:
>A newbie's work
>A newbie's work that nobody had even given a once-over
Well sure. But Steins;Gate is a high profile work. And it was far from ready for release.
While on that matter though, Blick recognized his own translation as premature, but by the end of the anime the others in the project released their latest beta patch in order to save themselves some e-fame before the franchise was forgotten by the anime crowd.

The patch was premature. It was a bad translation for a high profile work.

>>10034783
>Expert Witness: Moogy

Hell yeah!

>>10036162
Someone need to update the chart and add Commie on it.

>>10036506
Where does Mangagamer stand there now too? Doesn't he have connections to Doddler and co.?

>Cross Channel translator
Ixrec has translated Cross Channel. (Though this was already the case back then.)
>The Tomoyo After project
Resumed and completed by Doki.
>Haeleth
Left a message before disappearing for good; his translation of Narcissu 2 (one of the two) was released by the other translator, Agilis.
>Sharnoth translator
Ixrec translated Sharnoth.

Wait...

Is it just me...or did all the projects of which the staff disappeared get picked up or replaced by projects from Moogy-affilated parties...??

>>10038436
Just... your imagination.

Unnamed project - 8.14%
KNNWSNY - near release

>>10038444
No one interested, pooder.

>>10038436
Ixrec isn't really Moogy affiliated. The two got along alright for a while but after a big fight over Ixrec's SubaHibi review I don't think they've really been on good terms at all. Also I think he's banned from Amaterasu forums.

>>10036506
That chart is outdated. Moogy has moved Makoto to work directly for JAST, so he has more direct control of its activities.

>>10038436

>>10038661
Wish we had one for today, like the MS Gundam theme though. Don't think there's enough characters for all the translators today though.

>>10038729
Just ignore the irrelevant ones or group them

Was the second podcast ever posted?

>>10038729
So make one.

>>10038514
It wasn't Ixrec that banned Moogy, it was his slut Sheeta. Ixrec didn't even get mad because of the comment that ended up getting Moogy banned, and it wasn't particularly rude. I don't understand why it warranted a ban. Pretty dumb move too since Amaterasu forums died the moment his Majesty was banned.

>>10040253
Not to mention Moogy and co. are the ones hosting the ammy website. Sheeta should offer some apology blowjobs to all of TLWiki.

>>10040545
I second this.

>>10040545
No they are not. They never were. Originally Moogy and Ixrec were both mooching off some other guy whose name I forgot and now it's TinFoil, who certainly does hang around Moogy's crew a lot but it's not as if he's Moogy himself.

>>10040618
It's the guy who owns imouto.us or whatever the name site is right now. Davoc I think?

>>10040668
dovac quit hosting VN translation-related sites (*.is.moelicious.be). Amaterasu is now hosted on Tindabox, owned by Moogy's right-hand man TinFoil. TLWiki is also hosted there nowadays; it was originally also hosted by dovac.

>>10038436
I don't give a shit about "community" drama usually, but I do remember there being another Sharnoth project. The page was still up last I knew; I stumbled across it while cleaning out my bookmarks the other day.

It never did make much progress and seemed to be one of those Imma-try-to-translate-this-for-practice-in-my-off-time, which have a way of not getting far before they outright disappear.

>>10044341
