So it'll be finally out this week?

Ignored for another week.

Saddest week in a good while.

Yeah, this is a really bad week.

Nothing catchy this week

Weak week

>>Maman Kyoushitsu - Saera Kanzaki, Honoka Mizushima, and Mimeri routes patch released, ~8 scenes left in Emiko route

Neat.

>>11368410

Next week for sure

>>11368488
At the latest, he has a goal set for himself which is currently 25 days from now

hit hard by school starting back up

You should have added that Rance IV is planned to be released next week. I forget exactly the date Maria said.

>>11368695

Any idea how much better the translation will be? I've been wanting to reread CrossChannel but after hearing how the translation didn't capture the essence of the writing or some shit like that, I swore to myself that I wouldn't read it again until I could read it proficiently in moon... Needless to say that wont be for at least a year.

>>11368948
It's also bad from the samples he's posted, but bad in a different way.

>>11368871
There hasn't been a week with good progress in a very long time, despite everyone always saying summer is when translators have the most time to translate.

The translation seen is dead, in case anyone needed further proof.

>>11368948
I've only seen a couple short samples but it looked even worse than ixrec's translation. Definitely not something to choose over waiting a year to read the original writing.

is yumina the first game jast has managed to put out since demonbane?

MODS

Great week!

>>11369008
>It's also bad
>>11369436

>>11369831
No Miu no deal. That fag said best for last and now he stops translating.

>>11369848
He hasn't stopped. He was in China for some time. And he dosen't update progress that much. Like you have 0% for route for 3 months, and then suddenly 100%. I'm sure Miu route is translated to some degree.
You can play Yumina in the meantime

this is going go fast i think.
gundam ace and blick are the new ixrec.
And 12 riven is already translated a bit.
they are on a roll.

>>11370449
Call me when they translate something good then.

>>11370457
you mean like the shit we have been getting for the past 2 years? the last thing that was fun reading with actual plot was never 7. its because of you we get boring shit.

>>11370463
>Never 7
>Good

>>11370466
It was actually the last thing that was somewhat decent, yeah. I actually finished it so yeah it must have been better then rewrite or Grisaia which i cant even get through without exiting out every 5 minutes. actual college students was a fucking huge plus.

12 riven is actually mentioned in root double.. Is root double related too all the infinity vns in some ways? the only thing im not liking is the art style, why couldn't they keep using the remember 11 artist. he was perfect for these types of vns.

>>11370477
I'd recommend you work on that taste a little bit.

>>11370482
When you get older you tend not too like shit like sol and boring "high school problems", one day you will understand.

>>11370488
When you learn that you are have over-inflated self worth and false maturity, you will stop denouncing games for being of a high school setting.

>>11370449
>new Ixrec
You are aware that Ixrec is a speed translator with relatively low quality to his work, right?

And the two of them TOGETHER still aren't translating particularly fast.

>>11370493
high school setting itself is what makes vns lacking. if it had more college or adult settings it would be far more interesting. there is only so many places you can go with a fucking HS student. you dont even see real love, but with a college student you can see a real person deal with real life. its what made steins gate so popular and many other vns/anime. you get much deeper characters with actual personalities.

>>11370494
Ixerc is fucking a fine translator. Hes gotten a shit ton better since CC.

>>11370498
If you really think a high school setting has any effect on that you are extremely pretentious.

Like I said, you've got a false sense of maturity.

>>11370500
As someone who adores Cross Channel, MLA, and Rewrite; Ixrec is a shit translator and his translations read poorly.

>>11370501
>If you really think a high school setting has any effect on that you are extremely pretentious.

um because it does, a lot.
Your not even living your life in HS.
your not even fully grown or your true self, any love in high school just seems fake. you dont have the real time and life with your lover like you can as a college student or older. if they got rid of the hs setting we can have much better romance like maison ikkoku.

>>11370504
you would say that about any translation though. he actually gets it done and the translations are completely fine.

>>11370506
In a majority of these VNs, the high school setting is irrelevant and, in most cases, barely even a high school. You could literally replace it with college if you wanted and not a thing would change.

>>11370508
You should have a look at the report thread for Rewrite some time.

And that's a simple VN that he filled with errors.

He utterly buttfucked the prose in the WAB games. He's about as good a translator as a midlevel Mangagamer guy, but instead of working on shit moege and nukige, he tries to translate things far out of his league, can't understand metaphor in writing, and has shit English skills so can't put anything in any more than awkward overly literal English even if he could. Speed is all he's 'good' at.

>>11370512
A lot would change, a fucking lot.
just reading never 7 or remember 11 you see that.
your not reading about fucking kids. even steins gate is way more fun because its about a bunch of nerdy college students chilling together. instead of fucking boring school scenes where they sit in their chair and do the same shit in every vn like it.

>>11370514
literal English doesn't mean its bad. I would rather have it literal then made up shit.

>>11370517
Explain why it would change Muv Luv, Grisaia, Rewrite, Cross Channel, Symphonic rain, etc. at all.

In fact, Symphonic Rain might as well be college since the school pretty much is that in the first place. Grisaia's isn't even really a school. Cross Chanel's isn't used as anything more than a place for them to be stuck. etc.

>>11370519
First, you're making a false dichotomy here.
Second, being overly literal IS changing it when it's NOT literal to begin with.

>>11370517
You realize that Ever17 is high school students, right?

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia hasn't moved for a while now. :(

>>11370524
Its not a hs setting and and has nothing too do with it at all. the infinity series was at its best with college students anyway.

>>11370553
Why don't you help them then?

>>11370562

I would if I could, unfortunately I can't read Japanese.

>>11370574
I can somewhat read Japanese, but the problem is, the part that isn't translated is the ero scene and no one wants to translate that/

>>11370577

That's to bad. :(

>>11370506
>Your not even living your life in HS.
that's why it's popular. truOTAKU hate their lives and don't want to read about people dealing with adult problems. they think "things would be different now if only I had made friends in high school and maybe also been a wizard." if you can't understand this you must be a crossboarder.

>>11370577
Translators sure do dislike the ero in eroge. I guess it fits with their generally pretentious behavior.

>>11371268

Do you have any idea how fucking boring it is to write sex scenes?

>>11371273
I've translated h-scenes in random games so I could fap to something I wrote. There's something really hot about it for some reason.

>>I/O - All scripts and 212/256 tips translated. 74/249 scripts edited
So, partial patch when?

>>11368410
No, after this comes the final final check.

>>11371392
Wanna final suck my dick retard??

whjat dont you get about the word final???

>>11371394
and then we have to wait for him to make an installer from scratch.

After that, a separate installer for those who installed the original-jp version of the game.

and after those are done, they need to be further debugged so they work on native 64 bit systems.

>>11369715
I even don't be hesitate to call it shit

>>11370487
Root Double has passing references to infinity, I/O, and even Myself;Yourself. I don't think it's actually related to any of them besides the obvious connection to Takumi Nakazawa.

Storywise, though, it's pretty similar to infinity.

The only things I don't like about the art style are that some of the girls' boobs are ridiculous and the guys don't get consistent proportions in some action shots.

>>11370524
Kid and Sara are the only high school aged ones.

>>11371527
And Kid and Takeshi and that includes Hokuto and Coco (or is she middle school?) and Tsugumi in 2017.

>>11371665
Takeshi's in college. Tsugumi's a fugitive. Coco's middle school.

>>11371665
Coco's in ninth grade, which would make her a third-year in middle school, yeah.

>>11371277
You're kinda in the minority.

Though honestly, for me, the kicker is all the moans and kissing and whatnot. If it were up to me, I'd honestly just leave those as is or something.

>>11371854

At least the moans generally translate directly and take zero thought to do. I'm more held up on descriptions of the sex. There's just only so many times I can write a description of dick being thrusted into vag.

>>11371866
I guess it helps that the h-scenes from the games I pick tend to be pretty short (200 - 300 lines)

>>11371873
Yeah, when they get double that size is when things get mind-numbing.

Then again, scenes that long are liable to get ctrl'd by the reader just as well.

>>11371873

The game I'm doing just has a lot and they go up to 600 lines. It's pretty grueling. Big problem with Alicesoft games, more than likely why more people don't pick them up. When I play them I can just skip them, at least.

>>11371893
>>11371883
>>11371873

How dare these eroge have so much ero in them?

>>11371905

Yeah, I can see why Aroduc never touched Alicesoft anything again.

>>11371911

I've got no problem with it's presence, just translating it is no fun and for most people translating VNs it's a hobby.

>>11371911
It's boring and unpleasant to translate the weird mechanical descriptions of sex favored by most japanese eroge writers.

>>11371931
People should translate railsoft games. They have fun ero.

>>11371931
It's boring and unpleasant to translate anything, which is why I don't do it unless I'm getting payed.

>>11371946
>payed
Let's all be thankful you don't translate more often.

>>11371911
The medium could be so much more.

>>11371958
Not like it would drag the quality down much further than it already is.

>>11369831
Is their translation qaulity improved or should I post that old pic?

>>11372669
you should fuck off

>>11372670
You mad for realizing that?

>>11369715
Do more research.

Interesting to see JAST has picked up Shiny Days.

But why not Summer Days?

>>11372724
r u?

>>11374556
Maybe you should look up what Shiny Days is, dumbfuck.

>>11374556
Shiny days is just Summer Days with more content. In Shiny Days you get 5 extra heroines (Inori, Kokoro, Kotonoha's mom, Setsuna's mom and Sekai's mom). Inori is the only original heroine in Shiny Days though.

>>11375193
Is the system improved in any way? I dropped School Days after an hour of gameplay due to all the bugs and clunkiness.

>>11375193
Wow i see you can fuck some nilfs there

>>11375202
Are you talking about JAST's localization of School Days or the original? I only have the localization and I never had a problem, but I only got it after they patched it. Yumina was the same way. Bugs, untranslated areas and crashes already happened and they already have it patched. How hard is it to test the VN before you release it?

The battle system in Yumina is bullshit, and so is the grinding.

>>11376032
>nilfs
milfs*

>>11375193
Konohas mom is neat milf how bout Setsunas mom? Is she pretty? can you fuck her ass? is there other milfs?

>tfw starless is never going to be translated

Fuck off milf autist

>>11377104
I think it's fun when you get used to it. Also most of the really bullshit grindy stuff was toned down by Doddler. Drop rates raised and whatnot.

>>11377469

And now we have Rance 4

http://rancetranslation.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/rance-iv-legacy-of-the-sect-release/

Rance 4 pre-patch:

http://rancetranslation.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/rance-iv-legacy-of-the-sect-release/

Rance 4 from Ludo:

http://rancetranslation.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/rance-iv-legacy-of-the-sect-release/

>>11380347

Maria translated Rance 4, not Ludo. He helped with play testing and other backround stuff though.

Only thing we've gotten from Ludo himself so far is Widenyo, since apparently Roven translated most of Dungeons and Dolls.

Supposedly 5D text insertion is fixed though so it might be seeing release sometime soon, however.

Why is Cross Channel getting a new translation?

>>11380344
I can't fap to DOS era HCG anymore...

>>11380466
The game is pretty fun though. And if you're interested in Rance series, it's definitely worth checking out, since many characters from 2 and 3 get way more personality here.

>>11369715
Why do these people put so much time and effort into something when the work clearly doesn't amount to anything?

Personally, I would loathe myself, or at the very least the work done. And then fall into anxiety from the time I spent on it.

Why won't anyone translate VN's for the PSP?

>>11380817
I think it's shitskinned non-native english speakers (think SEA monkeys and South-American niggers) that cannot appreciate written word above their barely-legible online conversations. And I genuinely think they are of low intelligence.

>>11380817
It's funny to learn Japanese by translating stuff you like.

>>11380850
They're not learning Japanese by using Google Translate.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- 97.3% translated, third partial patch out

Summer ends and so does translation. ;_;

>>11380910

5 more years in editing.

>>11380850
I kind of doubt they are even doing that. And even if they were they attempting to do that they should probably try to at the very least get a decent grasp at English first.

>>11369715
>>11380817
Hey, can you please stop blaming us and actually do some research? Like read a translated script instead of checking out last changes. Since the translation is open/public, anyone can contribute. Obviously, all those lines will be redone by a translator from our team.

>>11370500
Yeah, no.

There was a classroom scene in Comyu with some kid going "Ofukuro ga saa..." that was translated as "My bag".

>>11370553
Where is Entrans located now? Their Maidlab site's been down for more than a month.

>>11370514
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. He and Shitta were total cunts to that girl who submitted all those corrections trying to help them.

Did she ever hook up with Koestl or what?

>>11370560
Yeah, R11 was great. Too bad Kokoro and Satoru acted so fucktarded a lot of the time to advance the plot.

>>11374556
Because loli.

>>11382887
Sheeta? Her last incident was breaking down on Twitter because a group finished translating Air before she did, perhaps not realizing that at her pace, she wouldn't finish for another year and a half. She then declared it machine translation (it's not), apologized for failing all Air fans and had a good cry.

>>11382920
http://winter-confetti.spotblogs.co.uk/2013/08/a-statement-regarding-air.html

hahaha looks like she baleeted the comment at the end of the thread where she got told for being a dramaqueen bitch. priceless.

>>11382920
Don't forget that she's not a translator either. Just a bad editor. People bitch about Grisaia being in editing for a long time? Yoake has been fully translated since mid 2011 and she's only halfway done editing it.
And in case anybody wants to say something like the translator is really bad, it's the same translator who she took over for when he quit translating Air nine months ago.

>>11382979
Also, Grisaia's translation is legitimately good.

>>11368392
> Anniversary no Kuni no Alice

Why not the first game?

This is great news, though.

>>11383017
Oh wait, this is the higher-res-and-with-new-graphics-and-content remake of the original, not a fandisk or sequel. Commence rejoicing!

>>11383017
Gay route with Queen of Hearts y/n?

What happened to JAST doing Kikokugai? Still waiting for that

>>11379884
I agree with this guy.

The only time I really had to grind was in the later half of super-hard mode.
People bitching about the difficulty are just to stupid to build effective characters.

>>11382979
>People bitch about Grisaia being in editing for a long time?
Seriously? Editing is outright important. Is that hard to understand for people?
And considering how much time is needed to actually read these thing, you could that people would prefer things to be properly done.

And the translation of Grisaia did turn out great. So there is that.

>>11382883
>My bag

This can't be true, right?

>>11382883
As a pretty much an English only person I don't mind little errors. The Muv Luv games and Rewrite were quite readable and I understood the story fully.
Considering all these VN's that are stuck in translation hell right now, I'm not going to fault the guy that actually gets stuff done. I consider Ixrec translated Muv Luv Alternative and Ixrec translated Rewrite among my favorite VNs so I'm pretty appreciative to the guy.
All I want are these VN's to not to take an enormous amount of time to be release and to be of an acceptable quality. And I consider Rewrite & the Muv Luv games to be of acceptable quality. I'm not holding everything to Grisaia standards.

Icrex should look for a new editor. Sheeta's prose is really bland and harmful for the games.

Also, translating お袋 as "My bag" isn't a little error, it's a huge fuck up, especially considering how long he's already translating.

Cross Channel: Translation complete as of September 4th 2013

Is it compatible with 2003 edition or 2011 edition?

>>11386507
2011 I believe. That had added scenes and stuff.

>>11370500
> Ixerc is fucking a fine translator.

No, he's fucking a limey drama magnet whose translation and editing skills are about on par with her good manners and maturity.

>>11382891
>Too bad Kokoro and Satoru acted so fucktarded a lot of the time to advance the plot.
I can understand complaining about Kokoro, but when did Satoru ever act 'fucktarded'?

>>11384219
Barely anyone appreciates editors. Except maybe with stuff like Katahane or something.

>>11387038
An editor can't make a pile of shit good and if they're turning something good bad, then they're not going to be an editor for long.

>>11387057
They can make something bad or horribly mediocre, great though.
That's all provided the initial translation is good as well, editing disregarded.

>>11387228
You do realize that piles of shit are bad, right?

>>11384219
The Grisaia translator is pretty good so in their case the editors are just glorified QC though.

>>11387057
>An editor can't make a pile of shit good
You're retarded. It all depends on how much work the editor puts in. If they get the nuance of the line (it's not even at the level of shit if the translation is wrong), they can always write a whole new sentence based on that and deletes the original, obviously a pile of shit can turn out good.

>>11387236
Something can be well done but badly structured. Editors can do wonders to the structure, while also effectively proofreading.

And proofreading does wonders primarily because it's not the same mind that wrote it that's re-reading it.

>>11387257
>Something can be well done but badly structured
No, it can't. If the translator can't translate style and presentation, then they're not translating correctly. If the editor is just making up shit based on what they think it might be, then they're not editing. They're making up shit.

>>11387287
It could be that the translator is fluent in both Japanese and English but is extremely bad at writing paragraphs that sound decent.

>>11387250
It's you who's retarded, not the anon you're quoting. A shitty translation cannot be salvaged, and shitty translations are a large majority of the VNTLS scene. It doesn't matter if the end result is "readable" if the translation is inaccurate.

Editing is only there to take the translation and format it into readable, enjoyable prose, but depends on the translation itself being accurate. If it's not, one may as well read rewrites.

>>11387294
Goddamn it, I knew someone would be blind enough to say this even when I clearly pointed that out. As I already said, it's not at the level of "shit" if the translation is wrong. If the translation isn't accurate and does not convey the nuance, clearly it's not even a "translation" to start with.

My standard of "a shit translation" is bad English flow and structure. What is your standard of shit?

>>11387287
>style and presentation
That's a very vague field. I don't know what your "styles" mean. Extremely verbose, frequent use of a method of expression? Those can easily be translated.
If you're talking about "poetic and pretty writing" territory, it's clearly just about how well the translator is in English to make his own shit up. "I-It's adapting, guys!"

>>11387293
Then they're not fluent in English.

>>11387320
>My standard of "a shit translation" is bad English flow and structure.
Why is accuracy not any part of that? This sentence has perfectly fine English flow and structure, but is in no way a decent translation of ちんぽが大好き.

>>11387323
You can be fluent in English even if you can't write a short story to save your life. The average English speaker is in this category.

>>11387331
They're not writing a short story. They're translating. If they can't transition smoothly between the two languages, then they do not understand them.

>>11387330
Goddamn it, anon, it means I won't even accept an inaccurate translation as a "translation" at all!
It means it's worse than shit! WORSE THAN SHIT.
Nobody should be translating if they can't at least get the nuance across!!!

>>11387335
You can be understand a language without being able to craft anything that people would enjoy reading. Your average high school student is capable of understanding his own native language even if everything he writes sounds like trash.

>>11387339
And if they're introducing structural and grammar errors, it's NOT ACCURATE.

>>11387344
Fucking up a past/present tenses and little stuff like that is fine. If they fuck it up to the level that the nuance is not perceivable to a normal human being, obviously they shouldn't be translating in the first place.
Pretty sure you're trolling by now, fine, you got me a little mad just now.

>>11387363
I will not be aware poor sentence structure and tense errors was going to have been "little things."

Because when people have read that such, it are obvious that they was not capable of having translate accurately and no amount of having edited would made it corrected.

>>11387339
Why is she so perfect?

>>11387378
and yet your example is trivially decipherable, thanks for disproving your own point i guess? Even if they manage an equivalent impressive level of failure, an editor, even one with no japanese knowledge, would be able to correct it with ease.

>>11387339
Epick reaction image, /a/ bro. Please refrain from using them from now on.

You seem to misunderstand the process of translation. It's not a boolean thing, being either a clearly bad translation or a clearly good translation. In reality, no translation is ever 100% accurate simply because you can never convey everything in a sentence in the other language without making shit up (and thus adding to it). A translation has a certain degree of accuracy; it's not just either 'making shit up' or 'perfectly conveys the original writing'; in-between you have all kinds of possibilities, such as 'technically accurate but omits the author's style', 'mostly accurate with some mistakes', 'properly conveys the original style but does not technically accurately translate everything', 'translation and style correct but nuances lost', and so on. If you count any translation with inaccuracies of any kind as a 'shit translation', then every translation in the history of mankind is shit.

Pretty much any writer, even those who don't translate anything.
Have other people proof read their works. It makes a huge difference.

>>11388371
The exception being newspapers and magazines because they are too cheap to pay for people to do that.

Can you actually get the item to buy the shop?

>>11388381
I'm pretty sure these publications employ someone called an "editor" to do just that, Anon.

>>11388717
Depends on what news networks/magazines we are talking about.
There are a bunch of horrible news networks and gossip magazines that focus everything on getting things out before the competition. And a lot of them don't bother with such things.

But then again, the quality of those things things are abysmal to the point that to even acknowledging their existence might be too kind to them.

Is doki ever going to do anything with clannad?

>>11389089
I sure hope not.

>>11388122
Indeed. Nice to see someone with some common sense around here.

>>11382494

I'm sorry. I know that the actual properly done scripts are okay, if a little stiff at times, but it's fun to stir shit up.

>>11388122

I think a lot of people are under the misconception that the more accurate translation is always the better translation. While this is true for non-fictitious works, it hardly applies to movies, literature or, well, VNs were things like style and tone do matter.

Try reading the translations of Majikoi S or Forest if you think literal is better. The translators sucked every bit of charme of the games. They're sterilized. If you can accept this as legitimate good translations, you will also be able to read machine translated games without feeling much pain.

>>11390610
But Forest's translation was very good. Stop the irrational Ixrec hate.

>>11391966
Moogy-sama talks about forest.png

>>11391979
Moogy's a huge faggot though. Also his biggest complaint was that Ixrec transcribed the voice-only stuff into subtitles, saying it totally ruined the effect of having a contrast between voice and text lines. That should give an indication of how heinous the rest of the issues he took with it really were.

I couldn't find a VN general thread, so this was the closest one.

Im trying to install MuvLuv, but im getting an error message, have anyone had this problem, or could translate what it says for me.

Top fucking lel. Are you a feminist or something? I told you to read the "READ ME" file, but apparently you're too retarded to understand.
