Which ones are the PSP games?

MangaGamer's panel at AX is Thursday July 4th at 9:15pm Western US time.
Jast panel at AX is Friday July 5th at 10:00pm Western US time

how many years has it been since jast announced django and sumaga?

>>11113599
Did MG say anything about announcing new titles?

>>11113607
7 years

>>11113611

Nothing at this point. Perhaps there isn't anyone want to read out loud their embarassing titles anymore.

>According to Doddler on twitter, 16 unannounced projects total, roughly half non nukige, 7 which need engine porting

Should be 15 now, since WEE was going to be one of them before DLSite put it out before the corrected version was done.

>>11113611
Staff on the forums (before WEE was leaked)

Wait so SubaHibi is being translated again? did he say he would finish it this summer?

>>11113646
Two big releases this week get the image over a new announcement.

>>11113663
actually that is right monsters want the D but if youre not doing the raping then theyre going to rape you

>>11113666
I guess someone threw money at him so he translated 2 or 3 lines.

>>11113646
Two big releases this week get the image over a new project starting

So is Grisaia no Kajitsu the next vn we will be getting?
What else might we see this summer?

>>11113658
what is the gameplay like?

>>11113679
Supreme Candy is better than some random psp game.

>>11113690
its nothing as interesting as monster girl quest

you either attack them or use ero attacks. using ero attacks depletes their mp. if you deplete it all the way you "rape" them and get some kind of skill. there is magic too but the one spell I have isn't really worth switching over to mage gear.

not great, but somewhat interesting.

99.8% translated.

>>11113767
Still at 99% I lost the key on my keyboard that has the period on it so I can't finish the last sentence and so the project is on hiatus

ClaymoreSmiley is translating Hakuisei Renai Shoukougun. 1,000+ lines translated so far (stated via his twitter account)

>>11113787
Well, that's disappointing. I hope you find that key soon.

>>11113787

Bummer.

So in short, we should have 16 announcements from AX between MG/Jast, plus updates to already announced stuff. Going to be a rather busy week.

Please elaborate this hilarity.

>>11113679
whatever man

Honestly I wonder if you could crowd source this shit out. Make some sort of "Learn to read Japanese" website and have people translate lines from visual novels as a drill.

>>11113876
Theres an 70% chance I will buy it but I don't know how I will hide it from normies.

>>11113901

You might as well use google translate.

>>11113897

grow some balls and tell the normies to f*ck off.

soon

>>11113915
Late october confirmed.

>>11113888
Best Makura girls. Only the trap in sakura no uta comes close to them.

>>11113904
But in this imaginary system maybe you could compare your translation with a list of translations from other users, and ask the user to pick the one that makes more sense. Over time the correct translation would bubble to the top. You could even seed it with the machine translation.

Meh, I'm thinking too much into this.

>>11113901
someone had a kickstarter but they closed it even though it seemed like it was going to reach its goal

>>11113925
That requires a bunch of good translators working on the same thing where their work would be put next to complete dipshits and then read by complete dipshits to decide which they think is 'best.'

>>11113915
Too bad the writer went completely retarded with the sequels.

Thanks for the quick update, king of fags.

>>11114393
Duolingo. They actually profit off it by selling the crowdsource translations.

For everyone who's interested:
sweet pool has been completely translated and is undergoing editing at the moment.
Current ETA is before the end of the year.

Futsuu's off translating ANIME now, like a guy who translates anime.

I hope to play translated Princess Maker 5 still this year.

>>11115378
how can you be this new to /jp/

>>11114239
Enjoy your butchered translation.
You could already use ATLAS at this point.

>>11116096
The translation seems fine to me.

>>11116122
Yeah, it's absolutely fine.

>>11116122
Editing it after the others told you it was wrong isn't really reassuring.

>>11116122
>>11116142
Especially not when the 'translator' has a history of kicking people off the project for finding errors.

>>11116146
How come it always feels like only mentally ill people translate anything? VN readers are sane people but translators tend to be off their rocker.

>>11115325
>>11115852
Waiting warmly

>>11116152
I think Insem is the only one.
I feel a little bad for him though, those mistakes are being posted so often. Those are probably just careless mistakes that happen once in a while for reading too fast or something. It's unimaginable for someone who's able to genuinely read Japanese to knowingly commit mistakes like that.

>>11116142
Isn't this from an old patch? I'm using "Cirno 1.2" and I'm not seeing any of that.

>>11116152
Because only mentally ill people are idiotic enough to attempt to translate a Japanese porn game several times the length of most novels for no recompense aside from NEETs complaining about their translations and gaining a slightly larger e-peen.

le translation arguments :^)

>>11116171
I think you are in the wrong thread bro.

>>11116162

He has a history of making 'translations' which are totally off, though. Other bad translators like Ixrec might make grammar errors here and there but Insem rewrites entire parts of the games, like he did with Hoshimemo.

His Japanese is simply ass and he shouldn't translate.

>>11116189
Protip: He translates from chinese translations

>>11116189
Ixrec hasn't figured out that the first word in sentences is supposed to be capitalized. "Grammar errors here and there" don't quite cover it.

>>11116163
No clue, I only had this pic saved on my hdd. Even if this got corrected there are other mistakes anyway. Hoshimemo tier tl incoming.

>>11116233
That doesn't change the meaning of the sentence, though. I'd prefer a translation which is entirely written in lower cases over Insems hilarious guesslations.

>>11116245
That doesn't change that it's still full of grammar errors.

>>11116248
sheeta does the editing , not ixerc

>>11116248

Not properly capitalized words aren't grammar errors.

How do I become a VN translator?
I want to earn some money

>>11116248
Or translation errors.

Unless you're a shoe string.

>>11116262
Yes, moron. They are. You need as much a refresher on elementary school English as he does.

>>11116274
1. Start a project.
2. Post about 'progress' every week.
3. When you're about 60% into it, start slowing down and saying you are having issues to deal with in real life.
4. Put up a donation page saying it will help to let you have more time to actually devote to translating and get a patch out sooner.
5. Once you get however much you want out of it, delete your website and pretend your translation project never existed.

>>11116274
Make patches for lolige and make people pay you.
They probably would too.

>>11116291
How do I make patches?

>>11116305
You strap on your patch helmet, get into your patch cannon and fire yourself off into patchland where patches grow on patchies.

>>11113901
Duolingo does this for Wikipedia articles, iirc.

Not JP though because fuck you.

>>11116305
You ask a genius to make it work on toaster.
Someone like Message if possible.

>>11116306

>>11116253
But Sheeta doesn't know English.

>>11116310
>patchy ass

>>11116966

That's the joke.

>>11116966
I'm guessing it's just becsuse ixrec just doesn't let her edit too much.

>>11116966
I'm guessing it's just because ixrec just doesn't let her edit too much.

>>11113782
Delicious Italian hobo route.

>>11115852
Oh boy, more google translate projects!

>>11116287

I'm not going to discuss with snotty dimwit like you. Come back when you understand the difference between orthography, spelling rules and grammar.

>>11118388
You, uh, do realize that spelling and grammar are what make up orthography, right?

>Grisaia
>Totals 5913/5913 (100.00%) 5913/5913 (99.99%)

Either herkz is close to finnish his part or the project is going backwards.

>>11118470
It was dropped from 100% because the second editor isn't complete, while just listing 100% makes it seem like editing is complete.

>>11118484

Surprised how many people don't realize this. Just wanted people to stop asking us "Why isn't it released if it's 100% done?!"

>>11118615
Why aren't you releasing it if it's 99.99% completed?
0.1% shouldn't take so long.

>>11118853
They spent all this time at the game and now they should release an incomplete version just for a few days work? Brilliant.

>>11118932
All of those bent spines...

Anyone tried to get in touch with that translator, it seems kinda waste if the translation is already done but not being released...

woah, this game is actually really good

can someone link me to the download for danganronpa?

>>11119246

>>11119246
She's not even the best girl

>>11119403
Why do you have such a shitty taste?

>>11116274
vn translators who work for MG/Jast get payed in coupons
not much money to be made

>>11119695
>>11116274
MG pays 0.01/character. So for example, a 2mb script is 1m chara, or about $10k. It's not awful, but given that it probably takes 4-6 months to do a script of that size if you're on it full time, it's not really 'good' money unless you're in some 3rd world country. I imagine JAST and MG always need new translators, although you'd have to not completely suck to get a job.

>>11119264
It just... worked basically straight out the box.

>>11119510

>>11110044

>>11122079
Hahahaha
>fan uncensor patch
They do realize that actually requires them to translate the ero scenes? I dont think anyone participating in that thread even knows jap.

>>11122076
They went through the official agency ratings, which kind of prevents them or at least discourages them from officially adding in an 18+ patch. Also it would be foolish to release an 18+ patch under the brand Moenovel, as for the moment their brand is clean, if they want to release 18+ stuff it should be be through another brand.

>>11122107
Well, translating ero scenes isn’t too hard. Just put random noises there.

>>11122117
You've never translated one, have you?

>>11122107
/jp/ isn't doing it

>>11122107

Why would they even want to make it a rated e game, dont they get is that people in their late teens to 20s play these games too begin with? Anyone below that wont play these games or ever here about it. they would rather play call of duty. this is like trolling your own customers for no reason but to make them to not buy you product.

If your heart had wings it'd probably had evolved to work that way, probably it'd use them to move around to an advantageous position depending on your posture.

And for the record, it'd use then as leverage, not as fucking wings.

Is the Little Busters google docs page current up to date progress or have they stopped updating it?

December 8 2012 prediction actually did happen,

Their last prediction though from December 8 2012 actually did happen, although just barely.

>>11125350
good

Grisaia patch got leaked, find it nerds.

>>11128352
omg for realz?

>>11128373
So I have to register a Twitter to get it? Fuck this.

>>11128394
they're just trolling

>>11127574
Just in time for AX11!

Maybe Grisaia is taking so long because it's one of the new titles JAST is going to announce at AX.

>>11128715

I wish.

>>11128725
Are you retarded?

>>11128751

No.

>>11128715

Or maybe because it's long.

>>11128859
Nah, that's pushing it.

No you didn't. If you did, you'd remember how we used to discourage spoonfeeding.

>>11129185
Not him, but no we didn't. We didn't help people who did no effort to fit in because they should lurk more, but if it's clear the person isn't a crossboarder we would help them. Then at some point the term 'spoonfeeding' started popping up, and it soon escalated to refusing any form of asking for source, even instances where the source (or answer to the poster's question) was genuinely hard to find.

>>11129845

Like >>11127253 ? So how exactly answering that wouldn't qualify for spoonfeeding?

>Then at some point the term 'spoonfeeding' started popping up
According to your links, you meant "when /jp/ was 2 months old", didn't you?
Thanks for proving my point, I guess. I'll prove some of yours in return then:
https://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/S5433055

Also I won't give any off topic replies in this thread any more, it's older than mammoth's shit and doesn't interest anyone anyway.

I wonder how Harukoi will sell for MangaGamer now that they are getting it out. Ever since they've got it years ago though it has always seemed like a poor choice to pick up, being quite long (and thus expensive to TL), rather meh in quality, and nothing like Koihime has for somewhat widespread appeal.

Any interesting non-teenager VNs out there since the last 3 years?
Economica sounded interesting because i like economy-based stories.
According to VNDB a developer called "Spicy Tails" translated Episode 1. Are these translations any good? I never actually read a commercial translated VN and I'm kinda scared trying it out.

>>11130406
DLSite jumped the gun on the release before all the problems were hammered out, so there are some problems with the current release. MG says a patch is coming and it's probably best to wait for that.

>>11130406
>Any interesting non-teenager VNs out there since the last 3 years?
>Economica sounded interesting because i like economy-based stories.

MC-kun is 16 years old and ditching school 24/7 while also being too cool to go home.
also, the edit job is bollocks and expect to re-read oftenly a slightly differently phrased bit about being on the moon and how gravity is lower on the moon and if the writer doesn't stop every 10 mins to repeat his spiel about the moon you might just forget you're on the moon in the first place.

And while I do harp on those points, the story isn't all that bad. It's definitely a nice change of pace from school-based stories.

>>11130406
SpicyTails is the Japanese dev/group.

>>11130075
>So how exactly answering that wouldn't qualify for spoonfeeding?
Because while it's clear it's from a Japanese language learning site, which one of many it is remains unclear to anyone who doesn't frequent the Japanese learning threads. I've been here since 2008 and I don't know what site that is either. There's no phrase you can search for to identify it, and stuff like IQDB is totally out of the question. There is simply no way to find out what the source is without either already knowing it except for asking the poster.

>According to your links, you meant "when /jp/ was 2 months old", didn't you?
No, I mean the phrase 'spoonfeeding' was used twice in 2008 and 'spoonfeed' was also only used twice, one of them meaning it literally. Then in 2009 it became more frequent, but still nowhere near how often it's posted in the later years. Patterns like these almost always indicate crossboarders bringing over the board culture of other boards.

As for your example, it was 2010, and most of all it was summer. If you feel 'u mad', 'derp' and '>implying' are genuine parts of /jp/'s board culture, I must ask you to leave.

>>11131156
I just want Grisaia to be released. Dangan Ronpa was alright, but it's not at all a Grisaia substitute.

>>11131156

So kind of like "crossboarder", used once in 2011 then forced from 2012 onwards?

You could have at least used "crossposter".

>>11131156
"Spoon feed", "spoon feeding", and "spoon fed" seem to have been more popular back in the day.

I blame Americans. You lot are always trying to prematurely blend words. It has to have a hyphen for at least a century first, damn it!

>Here's some good news: the upcoming English ero RPG Yumina the Ethereal has gone Golden Master and will be shipping in 3-4 weeks!

>>11127253
Bit late because I don't follow these threads but here you go.

>>11131804

About time.

>>11131771
>It has to have a hyphen for at least a century first, damn it!

2013-1864=149

It's had a hyphen for long enough according to you.

What titles do you think jast is going to announce at AX?

>>11132268
This one.

>>11132268
I have a relatively good idea, but I'm not completely sure. If they announce what I think they will announce, no one will see it coming.

>>11132481
So what's your idea?

>>11132481
If you see it coming, then how will nobody have seen it coming?

>>11132524

Maybe he is Odysseus.

So how long 'till MG's new announcements?

>>11134407
probably around 14 hours or so I think.

So did that anime con that was gonna talk about steins gate happened yet? if so what did they say?

For AX discussion today
>>11126386

>>11129845
But the VNTS is crossboarder general. I should know.

im actually translating one too. so far 1% but i cant seem to get it to run, anyone got a crack for momoiro guardian? i managed to decompile the text file and things like that

(pic unrelated)

Grisaia patch soon?

>>11135162
Confirmed for release after the heat death of the universe.

>>11135168

We just have to wait for herkz getting tired of watching and tweeting about shitty anime.

>>11136246

When have I done that?

>>11136282
> love lab filling the void yuyushiki left
Bam.

>>11136294

Haven't even watched it yet.

>>11135139
Hey its me again, if nobody has crack, can somebody send guide how to manually do it? I have no hacker on translation team :(

>>11136933
no

Didn't see a Dangan 1 thread and I need help.
Using an AMD graphic card and the build that allows you to click on objects.

The problem is I crash whenever I enter case 6 data processing room just after speaking to the monokuma. This crash occurs on PPSSPP and transfering the save file to JPCSP didn't help.

Any advice/help? Its at a really exciting part of the storyline and I can't continue. Its so frustrating.

>>11136933
Try the Alicesoft general on /vg/

>Cartagra
>Kara no Shoujo 2
The shock.

But the other thinks is not so interesting except maybe Free Friends.

>>11138654

Quite a few rape games. Do they sell that well?

>>11138670
thought their nukige sold the best

>>11138719

Yeah but this is rape-nukige, not vanilla-nukige. I suppose they learned from Boob War's consensual/comedy rape.

>>11138719
No. They're the most immediately profitable. Non-nukige cost a lot more to do so even with higher sales (although it's not that much higher), they don't turn the same profit. Non-nukige also have a much longer shelf-life.

>>11138734
Boob Wars didn't sell because of anything in the game, it sold because of it's cover and name, nothing else.

>>11138744

So why all the new rape titles? Something must be driving that decision.

>>11138765
They're cheap and so short that they can be done in a month or even less. They only need to sell probably a couple hundred to make a profit.

>>11138765
Probably their other titles besides, Boob Wars as Boob Wars is a big exception with how it sold, a good deal better than their other nukige based on what they have said.

That said, a look at their new titles

The Hentai industry titles, from the transcript
>There is a nukige company who contacted us and they wanted to start bringing games over

So they were asked rather than needed to ask to bring over titles from a company, so of course they accept.

The Lilith titles, MG has been pounded on their forums (and probably elsewhere) from basically day one to get them, so when Lilith said okay, MG got some of the requested titles.

As to the Innocent Grey/Noesis titles, it seems Innocent Grey responded to their calls, so MG got what they could.

>>11138791
I liked the other Noesis games more than the FuriFure titles. I hope they translate them as well.

>>11138654

I am guessing that them getting Cartagra and Kara no Shoujo 2 probably had a lot to do with Kara no Shoujo getting a hard copy, and that they probably have hard copies for those two down the line.

>>11136328
So we even have to wait for that...

Are they realising something during the Con as well?

>>11138654

>–First Draft TL complete, in revision
How long is this going to take?
Are we looking at 2014 release date?

>>11139767
Maybe ask Kouryuu or Doddler on Twitter.

>>11139786
I dont have a twitter
Ask them for me

>>11139807
It’s too embarrassing

>>11139812
Stop acting shy turbonerd.
You wouldnt have fucking twitter if you are an introvert.

>>11139834
Don’t call me a turbonerd you dweeb

>>11139786
Apoptosis is going over the scripts before sending them over. I have the Japanese engine scripts, but the game engine needs to be ported to Kirikiri for an English release, so that will definitely add some time. I imagine first half 2014? But I couldn't say for sure.

>>11139864

Which one are we talking about here, KnS2 or Cartagra?

>>11139878
Cartagra most likely. Kns2 will be worked on after Cartagra so…

>>11139878
Ah sorry, I mean Cartagra. For Kara no Shoujo 2, that would come down to the time it takes to translate, I can't really give an estimate on that yet.

>>11138815
Tick Tack also was only announced with Shuffle getting hard copies. Hardcopies probably make up a sizable % of sales of their story based titles.

>>11139886
ETA on Grisaia? That last .01% seems to be giving herkz quite a bit of trouble

>>11140809

Herkz is obviously only halfway or something, the 99,9% is symbolic.

>>11140809
They should move it back down to 50% just to shut all you faggots up.

>>11141168
Or they could just make it accurate

>>11141286
it's coming out this month. why do you need accurate numbers

>>11141353

I'm fine as long as it comes out after the 11th.

>>11141448
Why after the 11th?

>>11141457

Here's the latest, fresh from tonight's JAST panel.

please don't fuck up the memes
please JAST, please

>>11142965
well fuck me sideways it's about goddamn time

>>11142965
2011 called. It wants its games back.

How can they be serious announcing a game two years later and still not even being able to produce a release date?

>>11143264
I wondered this same thing myself...

>>11143315
that's a big N-O

>>11142965
So this is not even on sale, NOW?

>>11143315

Ofcourse not, a JAST USA VN is coming out in a month or two, that means no more releases for the next few years.

>>11142965
Game + PC release date from VNDB:

>>11143338

>grandchildren

Don't you think you're a little optimistic there? Now I'm all for optimism, but you're taking it too far.

>>11143338
Oh good, I can finally play a game from 2005! OH JOY

Just why do we have to suffer through Lightning Warrior Raidy again and again and again? I don't think there is a game more shitty than that series.

>>11143373
If I had to guess it's because people with shit taste insist on buying them again and again?

>>11143348
Now you're being too fat.

>>11143373
It's actually pretty difficult for me to imagine anyone buying Raidy games.

I bet Peter bought the rights to the whole franchise at once so it's a purer profit.

Oh wow people in the ann comments wish the Jast release would have English voices from the dub cast. Sometimes I manage to forget how fucking terrible the Western anime fanbase is.

>>11143741
>Nice. I wish it was coming out on consoles, but nice anyways. How does this game play? Is it like School Days where you watch a cutscene, make a dialog choice, watch a cutscene, make a dialog choice or is it more gamey (hoping it's just like School Days)?

I'm fucking speechless.

So when is steins gate actually coming out.

>>11143839
2101.

>>11143839
According to one of the translators (Blick Winkel): "Translation is done and so is basically all the editing. We're just working out all the bugs. And by we, I mean Nagato. Probably the biggest hurdle now time-wise would be QC from Nitro+."

So yeah, this doesn't really seem like much of a case of JAST limbo.

Aye, Jast! Bring forth Shiny Days and Mankoto!

>>11144150
>Probably the biggest hurdle now time-wise would be QC from Nitro+.

This could take years though.

>Danganronpa localization

Really NISA.

>>11147790
Please tell me they are not localising the one that is already translated

>>11147919
Exactly.
You'll never know all the ways western publishers can find to fuck themselves over.

I'm looking forward to Yumina. I liked Aselia and I like story based dungeon crawlers. Not having Aselia's puke inducing artwork is a bonus too.
