Definitely related. Vgperson always does an excellent job. It is a pity that some developers have especifically asked for their games not to be translated.

Vgperson seems to be a bit more popular, though, as there can be seen some threads about translations around, see, for example,
>>11734041

I though these people deserved some recognition as well, especially here.

Towelket 1 translation is still a thing. One day it'll be completed, when anon stops being lazy.

>>11767809
Did they? Which ones?

>>11767816
It is really a pity that Towelket is so slow. There is great potential in the saga and I can see plenty of people gathering at the threads.

I hope the saga gets eventually translated...

>>11767822
When the first one is finished, depending on how succesful it is, some people might pick it up. Sometimes the translator asks for opinions how would certain dialogues be translated, and certain dialogues are completely crazy, like repeating the same word several times and writing in really strange speech patterns. No wonder the author is mentally ill. Also, he said it's about 75~80% translated.

>>11767818
Vgperson avoided mentioning the title or the author due to respect, but she stated the translation being finished by the time the cease and desist letter arrived.

Tosiaki intended to translate Butsunen Sekai (物念世界), but was informed that the author had prohibited translations.

Also, Memories of Fear (the guys translating the Corpse Party doujin games) are translating Toilet in Wonderland (トイレ・イン・ワンダーランド), which looks interesting.

http://memoriesoffear.tumblr.com/

CURRENT PROJECTS:
Toilet in Wonderland
- Translation: 80%.
- Status: Currently playtesting.
- Release Date: January 2014.

>>11767839
That's the japanese-as-fuck one about hanafuda right? I can sort of understand why a translation would be out of place

>>11767963
yeah... that one had a really hard japanese setting. Still, I am actually happy that these people are bridging the gap and bringing as many projects.

>>11767836
Sure, the translation of that saga is highly challenging. I wish it drew more attention to translators but not many seem interested in that project.

Started playing Forest of Drizzling Rain, but I can't seem to get endings 1 and 3. I've checked http://tosiaki7.tumblr.com/kirisame-walkthrough, but I still can't figure it out.
Please assist.

>>11768854
perhaps it would be a good idea to ask at Uboachan as well?

Is Uboachan really still active?

>>11769096
It hasn't really grown nor shrunk.

Is there any horror games that focus more on atmosphere rather than a monster chasing you?

>>11769167
Body Elements (above) can be considered to be all about atmosphere, for instance.

Hope you enjoy gore, though.

>>11769240
I actually enjoy gore, thanks.

Great timing, I've been looking for something new to try out.

I only played Ballad of Akemi so far and while it has some enjoyable elements, the triggers in that game are the worst I have ever seen. Most progress is by finding the next spot where usually a small jump scare is so that the next trigger can be activated. This includes having to wait in a room 10 seconds or going on the way to the dark part of the forest, where she says she has a bad feeling then choose "stop" so that you can finally take the other route, because unless you do that you can't progress. That you progress through triggers instead of riddles mostly pulls the game down big.

>>11767839
I will be intending to make a translation of that game, as well as Shigen no Chou (死幻の蝶) and Akagami no Onryo (赤髪の怨霊), but I will not be releasing those translations publicly, as the creator does not wish for such. However, I will be willing to privately give out my translation to a few people over Skype. Though it should be kept in mind that it is about 4 games down the line of what games I would want to translate.

(Continuing >>11776918)
Also, in case anyone missed this fact... my Skype is publicly available.

Where can I find the original versions?

>>11777208
if you google the japanese names, most likely in the first results.

Many let's play in youtube or niconico include a link in the description to the game download. For instance, the youtube user 'NyaaTo ASCD' includes them systematically.

>>11777208
Freem usually has them.

>>11776918
>>11776967

tosiaki? I didn't expect you to pop up here! Glad that the interest in your work is growing.

Your offer is very kind. Perhaps it would also be a good idea to leave these projects aside.

I am very sure that many people who appreciate your work will address you to request translations of games that specifically have (or potentially have) translation approval.

So which of these do people recommend as the best or their favorite?
I've been looking for a new one to try, but I've got limited time to really try them all.
My favorite I've played so far is The Witch's House, if that helps. I've completed most of vgperson's stuff.

>>11777560
You may like Forest of Drizzling Rain then.

>>11777668
Just got finished playing it, thank you very much for the recommendation. I was a bit put off by the sprites to start, but the atmosphere combined with the sfx and background music quickly sold it for me.
I enjoyed it a lot, thanks again.

>>11776918

Thanks for the TL's! Currently into Forest of Drizzling Rain, which looks promising.

As a side note, you may want to bring in an editor to smooth these translations; it's been really stiff in English thus far. For example, things like:
"Ah, the passengers have gotten too few, that it is already out of service"
->
"Oh, lately there've been so few people coming that the bus has stopped running altogether".

"But somehow a feeling of hurt starts"
->
"which has become painful to look at".

The general goal should be to convey the context and concepts over a more literal sense of the words; it should flow naturally for a native speaker. Try actually speaking the lines aloud to determine if they 'feel natural'. It's ok to deviate a little from the literal text as long as it conveys the idea correctly (there are some cultural gaps after all, and some ideas don't translate directly.)

But, in general, keep at it!

Is Forest of Animals an Animal Crossing parody?
The Japanese name sounds rather similar.

Explain this puzzle, because I can't for the life of me figure it out. It's fro the White Curse (Shiro no Noroi) game.

>>11779367
I think it's the name of the orginal N64 Animal Crossing.

>>11779397
Hint: the + is a plus sign.

>>11779367
Animal Crossing: Doubutsu no Mori
Forest of Animals: Doubutsu-tachi no Mori

Quite similar names, and the reference was probably intended.

>>11779641
Still doesn't help me much. Frankly a spoiled solution is all I care about, since I've wasted enough time on this puzzle. I have no interest in 'solving' it for myself at this point. Nor does the Walkthrough say anything, for a walkthrough it is extraordinarily vague on the matter.

>>11779845
Watch the playthrough video on YouTube.

Toilet in Wonderland, by Memories of Fear, has been released.

"Toilet in Wonderland is an adventure game where a constipated girl named Mira explores a toilet-filled Wonderland inhabited with many wacky characters."

Mary's screwed ;;

>>11789148

NOPE

>"Toilet in Wonderland is an adventure game where a constipated girl named Mira explores a toilet-filled Wonderland inhabited with many wacky characters."

Uh

Played Forest of Drizzling Rain, this game must have been made by someone with mother issues.

Posting in a superior thread.

I would never have found out about Ib, Miscreant's Room's games, or probably the existence of the RPG Maker horror genre at all without you, /jp/. I have you guys to thank as much as the creators and translators for showing me the way.

This new crop of stuff is quite good. I can see that some of them are lesser in quality than the stuff VGPerson picks for projects, but I'm enjoying them all anyway. I'm not going to lie, Akemidan is freaking me the fuck out worse than Ao Oni ever did.

>>11789148
The graphics look fairly well-done, but that premise... pass.

Tosiaki has announced a tentative line for his projects:

Upcoming:

Oni Asobi (オニアソビ)
Mayohiga (マヨヒガ)
Oshichiya (オシチヤ)
Doll
Red World (赤の世界, Aka no Sekai)

Afterwards:

Monochrome Train (モノクロ電車, Monokuro Densha)

the 'Memory Girl' saga, which includes:
- Memory Girl (記憶少女, Kioku Shoujo)
- Memory Girl 2 Cannot Meet (記憶少女2 アエナクテ, Kioku Shoujo 2 Aenakute)
- Memory Girl THE END (記憶少女ＴＨＥ ＥＮＤ, Kioku Shoujo THE END)

Charon's yandere ERO ADV games:
- Mikoto Nikki (みことにっき)
- Mikkusuore (みっくすおれ)
- Makoto Möbius (まことメビウス)
- Yanderella (ヤンデレラ)
- The Dark Side of Little Red Riding Hood (赤ずきんDS)

In the far future:

Utahono Curse (哥欲祟, Utahono Tatari)
Infection Nightmare (感染性ナイトメア, Kansensei Naitomea)
Scapegoat Girl (身代わり少女, Migawari Shoujo)
Possibility (カノウセイ, Kanousei)

>>11795974
Ib sucks my eggs.

>>11797118
Picture is from Mikoto Nikki (みことにっき), btw.

>>11795974
While indeed true that the quality of some of these projects may be poorer than the line of projects that vgperson picks, I believe that these people are doing a great job in bringing emblematic games to broader audiences.

I have already seen many of these project re-translated into other languages (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese), so they are single-handedly revigorating the scene.

>>11797150
Playing Akemi ballad left bad taste in my mouth.

>>11797170
Indeed. You can continue with Save Meee, then.

Is there only one end in Body Elements? I got the one where I hang myself should I dig more?

Are there any good new translations of doujin whore RPG games?
heh
*unzips dick*
I IMMEDIATELY REGRET THIS DECISION

>>11797118
He is going to translate the games from Charon?
Excellent, I been playing Yanderella and can't get enough of Hinata~

>>11767802
Six more to my colection, many thanks, anon.

And somebody should go and help the anon who is working on Towelket, those games are cute and bloody gory to leave behind.

>>11797444
afaik, that is the only ending. Perhaps we should ask vi2222 if there is anything else besides this one.

>>11797452

These are good if you're ESL, otherwise he's done a piss-poor job as actually writing English.

>>11797494
Just sent him ask on tumblr.

Am I the only one with text problem? I tried running it on full screen but it's the same, should I install some font or anything?

>>11797759
System local in japanese, redownload and reinstrall the game and the rtp. It should work afterwards.

>>11797763
It's working, thank you.

>>11797744
Only one, the game was kinda weird but it's kona5.

>>11797463
Check the thread to see some more.

The Towelket guy also seems to have vanished... no thread of him anywhere and no way of contacting him... perhaps it would be good if he could work jointly with another translator...

So I'm playing Ichiro's Modesty and I found "minus driver" any idea what that is?

>>11793196
I got end 1, 2, and 4. 1 is the best ending it seems.

>>11798137
#towelket@rizon

>>11798137
Will make another one once there is some progress!
I'm still around so no worries!

>>11799354
Oh!!! Nice to see you around! Thank you very much for responding!!

Don't worry and take your time. We have been discussing how the script of these games is highly difficult... Tackling these games has great merit.

It's nice to see that you are still working on the project!

We will try to keep this thread around (with a new one after it dies), so it would be great if you could also report your updates here!

>>11797133

is there a translation for this ?

>>11799354
Take your time?
Could you give us a percentage of completion?
20%?
Man, I tried your demo and the game is really good, I wish it was more famous.

I'm guessing there's more to it than opening an easy to spot scenario file with notepad2 and modifying it, so...?
What does one need? The corresponding RPG Maker? Anything else?

>>11801243
it's been chosen as a late project by tosiaki (after a large string of projects).

At a pace of one game per month (which would be an outstanding rate, btw) it would take at least 10 months... so perhaps for next Christmas?

Really? Really?

It was apparent the TL was having some trouble but... this just makes it blatant that they either copy-pasted straight from machine or didn't care enough to even -try- phrasing the English correctly.

Followed by a 'Here is dangerous' to boot.

It's not even funny, just bad.

>>11801454
It is an amateur attempt, that's true. Keep in mind that vi2222 is learning English as a foreign language, too. If you take a look at his tumblr you will notice instantly.

The translations will get better as the translators gain more experience as well.

The good part is that now any user with a limited knowledge of RPG maker can download the partial English translation of WOLF RPG maker at:
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58125

And follow the guide from vgperson at:
http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/58450838593/how-to-translate-wolf-rpg-editor-games

This way, the English text can be edited to something more cohesive and of a better quality (it will take a lot of dedication, though).

>>11801838
Yes, in particular, when vi1222 mentioned to me about the games he was translating, I said I'd like to look it over. I haven't done it yet, but I will.

>>11801838


The point is that they both need an Editor, badly. It appears that tosiaki at least writes intelligible English in his blog, but for some reason doesn't carry this through in the games.
It might also have something to do with trying to push a TL out in 5 days....

>>11787660

well that deteriorated quickly

>>11801838
>>11802046

If anybody is interested in becoming and editor, perhaps it would be a good idea to send a message through tumblr offering yourselves.

This way, they can release a "version 2" of their already released games and make better quality projects in the future as well.

Horror and gory games, I like what am I seen.

CORPSE-PARTY if PAST END progress, from http://memoriesoffear.tumblr.com/

- Translation: 50%.
- Status: Currently translating.
- Release Date: TBA.

>>11767802
Okay. Which one are horrors, and which one are gorns?

>>11806399
The one with the most prominent element of gore are the ones by Kona5, i.e. The Blood of Akemi, Save Me, Oyadori no Ko and Body Elements, being the last one the one in which the gore is most abundant.

The others have a minimal element of gore and are more focused on horror.

ageru

any news on what game vgperson translates atm?

>>11812274
She is currently translating a novel by Fafoo, a writer in 2ch.

Anyone know the sauce of this game? Have been looking around, but have no luck finding it. Had to reset my computer, so I was looking around to download/play this game again.

Basically, you end up playing a game of hide and seek with a dollized kitchen knife, or something like that. Guess who has to hide?

>>11813302
A quick google gave me this result, I hope it is what you are looking for,

http://t-o-k.sakura.ne.jp/yuugi/l/houwasa/houtyoutop.htm

A new game translated by Tosiaki is out:

Oni Asobi (オニアソビ) by Die Blaue Laterne (青色ラテルネ, Aoiro Raterune)
http://tosiaki7.tumblr.com/post/73690189863/oni-asobi-or-oni-play-translation-complete

Next project: Mayohiga (マヨヒガ)

>>11816983
Thanks.

Tosiaki's work is very appreciated.

>>11817384

It'd be more appreciated if he actually bothered to write intelligible English.

File for Oni Asobi was recently updated about 10 minutes ago. Anyone who has previously downloaded the game is encouraged to download it again...

>>11818728
His English was actually intelligible, albeit poorly and awkwardly phrased.

>>11819446

>Even if I want to read them, my field of vision is really poor.
>An amazing number of books. Do they keep in charge of all of them?
>The humans of this area, have been disappearing off somewhere.
>I am a human of this town. I at least know the backways.
>The ones in this town... If I can be introduced to your family, there's no worry, is there.
>I am especially all alone.
>Is that so... sorry for my discourtesy.

It's 'awkwardly phrased' to the point where it -actually- interferes with the story. And not in the prude 'TL is never' better, but in the actual sense of 'this isn't even remotely scary because of how awful the dialogue is'.

More importantly, he isn't -trying- to correct it. He continues spewing these 'translations' out in a matter of days, either choosing to not seek out help or refusing to acknowledge how bad it is.

So, no, it's bad, and it's not appreciated by persons actually fluent in either language.

>>11767802
I'm having trouble getting Akemi to work.

Every time I load up the game it gives me a graphic error promto, oh and the character as well as all other npcs are invisible.

Any of you experienced this? Or have some advice on how to fix it? It would be appreciated.

>>11820521
>>Even if I want to read them, my field of vision is really poor.
I guess it could be "even though I want to read them, my field of vision is really poor."

>An amazing number of books. Do they keep in charge of all of them?

I guess it could be "An amazing number of books. Do they keep maintenance over all of them?"

>>The humans of this area, have been disappearing off somewhere.
Just two prepositions to be fixed here, I suppose: "the humans in this area, have bene disappearing off two somewhere."

>>I am a human of this town. I at least know the backways.
A minor word-ordering fix, I suppose. "I am a human of this town. At least I know the backways.

>>The ones in this town... If I can be introduced to your family, there's no worry, is there.
Could perhaps be, "At least for the ones in town right now... if I can be introduced to your family, that wouldn't be too troublesome, right?"

>>I am especially all alone.
Perhaps "I am especially lonesome."

>>Is that so... sorry for my discourtesy.
I see nothing wrong here.

>>11820567
Some files could be missing, in which case it is recommended to download it again. It might help if your set your system locale to Japanese too.

I can't Boy Ichiro's Modesty running. When I start up the game I get an error "Missing vehicle file" or something like that (in japanese). I tried redownloading it, I'm in japanese locale, and I already have the rpgmaker 2000 rtp.

>>11820687
I think the "vehicle file" is part of the RTP, so you should try re-downloading the RTP and installing it again.

Have any other games been translated recently?

>>11820629

I'd have to see the source Japanese first (and I realize you're being ironic), but an off-the-cusp translation:

>Even if I want to read them, my field of vision is really poor.
"It's too dark to read." (these lines were said in a dark room).

>An amazing number of books. Do they keep in charge of all of them?
An amazing number of books. Do they really take care of all of them? ('keep in charge' isn't actually a phrase.)

>The humans of this area, have been disappearing off somewhere.
"The people of this town have been disappearing." (Translating 人 as 'human' instead of 'person' is a textbook example of someone not knowing English).

>The ones in this town... If I can be introduced to your family, there's no worry, is there.
Fixing this would require rewriting most of the lines around it. The concept of an 'outsider' doesn't work quite the same way in Western society as it does in Japanese.

>Is that so... sorry for my discourtesy.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." (-The- stereotypical phrase used when accidentally reminding someone of the death of a loved one).

>>11820735
>Fixing this would require rewriting most of the lines around it. The concept of an 'outsider' doesn't work quite the same way in Western society as it does in Japanese.
I don't see what this has to do with the idea of "outsider." The exact line is

この町の方なんですよね……。\|身内の方がいらっしゃるなら、心配になりませんか。

It's simply just asking Satomi about introducing Mikoto to her family (that happen to be in town). I don't see what this has to do with any "outsider" concept.

>>11820735
Also, I have to say that I really don't like "It's too dark to read." Maybe something like "Even though I want to read them, I can't see very well right here."

>>11820735
As for translating 人 to human, (by the way, it used 人間 here, not 人, but let's ignore that for now), it's because 人 can be seen to be very often referring to "humans" and not all "people" (for example, to the exclusion of supernatural non-human people). Although I suppose "people" here would be more appropriate even if it is 人間.

>>11820521
Well, the good part is that anybody who is especially interested in updating the translation can create their own version of the script. The tools are already there.

Also, some people especially concerned about the quality of the translation offer to join in as editors, perhaps.

>>11820801

The Air TL Wiki had a similar line:
<0417> But the girl before my eyes is a person from this town.
// だが、目の前の少女はこの町の人間だ。
http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=Air:SEEN0180

I don't see why your game had to use awkward translation like human in that particular line.

>>11820773
>I don't see what this has to do with any "outsider" concept
The Japanese line may not (now that I've seen it, although I was really referring to that entire conversation, not just the line), but the English one does. In English, the line is effectively saying 'everything'll be ok if you introduce me to your family', meaning that she's an 'outsider' and that's causing problems.
What was the TL trying to convey? That she was scared, looking for other people? That she didn't believe what the lady was saying? That she thought the incident was caused by not belonging to the town? It's not clear in English.

>>11820767
Well, what did she -actually- say? I'm inferring the original text from what's written in the game.

However, remember that lines do not need to be 'the same length' in both languages; it is often the case that something which takes a lot of words to express in English takes very few in Japanese, and vice versa.

Is she acting like a 'typical schoolgirl'? If so, then she should say lines that reflect a 'typical schoolgirl'. A scared little girl? Then she needs to sound like one. In English.

A TL needs to translate the concepts over the literal text. This is what the respected TLs, such as vgperson, do. They translate the idea in a way that conveys it to the EOP audience and isn't garbled by nuances or poor phrasing.

>>11820801

Yes, I understood why you choose 'human', but that's not the issue. The issue is that Shintoism isn't ingrained into Western society. The distinction between 'people' and 'humans' in the supernatural sense is almost completely lost on an English reader, because they don't think about it in that way.

There may be a way to phrase it to include a supernatural distinction, but using 'human' doesn't convey that on it's own. Not in English at any rate.

Reading the scene for myself, it seems like it should have read like this.
I’m not sure where the entire greet and meet with the family came from.


美琴
「あの、おばさんにはご家族の方とかいらっしゃるんですか？

Mikoto:
Uhm, miss, is your family with you?

美琴
「この町の方なんですよね……。身内の方がいらっしゃるなら、心配になりませんか。

Mikoto:
“You look like a local of this town,
if your family's here, aren't you worried?”

保坂 里美
「……ならないね。

Hosoka Satomi:
"... I'm not worried."

Mikoto:
"...Huh?"

保坂 里美
「私はとっくに独り身だよ。旦那とは数年前に離婚。子供はあの世行きさ。

Hosoka Satomi:
“I'm unmarried.
I divorced my husband quite a few years ago, and my children have already passed away since.”

Also, when it comes to the awkwardness of the 'human of this town' line, I'd localize the line as:

“I grew up in this village.
… I know a little something about the back alleys.”

>>11820858
Basically, that she's trying to figure out more about the old lady's background because she's suspicious of her due to what the old man at the shrine said. That's why I suggested earlier, "at least for the ones in this town...\| if i can be introduced to your family, that wouldn't be too troublesome, right?"

>>11820894
Ah, reading the dialogue again, it seems like there was some kind of mis-reading of the original text. This makes more sense now.

>>11820567
Don't bother.

It's shit.

>>11820894

Yeah, that sounds about right.

So the file for Paranormal Syndrome has now recently been updated. The only files changed are:

Map0030.lmu
Map0039.lmu
Map0065.lmu
Map0159.lmu

So it's only a minor change, but it at least addressed the specific concerns pointed out here.

>>11820735
>('keep in charge' isn't actually a phrase.)
Just a little nitpick, yes "keep in charge" is a phrase, and not a rarely-used one at that.

>>11821315

Not unless you're referring to shady blogs about finances.

More importantly, it's an incredibly unnatural way of phrasing it.

All of the games are that way, and he either needs to slow down and QC for find an Editor that can do it for him.

>>11821328
>Not unless you're referring to shady blogs about finances.
Wrong yet again. It's used all the time

>>11821336
It's used all the time in the context of 'Hello, my name is Grammatical Genocide, I'm in charge of the books here in this library." Or alternatively, "He's in charge of the Nuclear Power plant." It's never ever used in the context that Tosiaki provided in Paranormal Syndrome. And personally, the only time I see 'Keep in charge' ever used is in the case of advertisements and slogans.

(Continuing from >>11821336)
Though... it must be admitted that 管理 does not exactly mean "keep in charge of." So I guess that you are right that the meaning doesn't fit in that part.

>>11821348
Although it is true that "keep in charge" doesn't exactly fit the meaning, I think that you are thinking two hard on the idea that there is an absolute "right" or "wrong" when it comes to something like diction. If you are talking about usage of English, there is nothing incorrect syntactically there and one always has a degree of liberty when choosing which words to use, and it depends on what kind of meaning, tone, and mood one is going after. To that effect, one might also use non-standard words in a non-standard manner, and it works as long as one is aware of its effects. Of course, in this particular case, you are correct that "keep in charge" does not exactly have the meaning that the sentence was going after, it does not mean any mistake in using the English language. In this case, it is merely a mistake in what is being expressed, not how it is expressed, and thus is more of a semantic error rather than a language error. One must not confuse these two things with each other.

>>11821364

He makes enough 'errors' that it needs to be addressed, regardless of the type:

>..... In the beginning, I was only thinking about hiding in the forest a little, and making spiteful remarks to that government official.

>But, somehow, in the middle, I couldn't remember anything, and when I came to, I was in the forest like this......

>>11821393
>..... In the beginning, I was only thinking about hiding in the forest a little, and making spiteful remarks to that government official.
I see nothing wrong here... at all.

>But, somehow, in the middle, I couldn't remember anything, and when I came to, I was in the forest like this......
Perhaps "But, somehow, when I was on my way, I started not to be able to remember anything, and when I came to, I was in the forest like this......"

>>11821427

With the Japanese? Possibly not (don't have the Japanese source to reference). The English? Completely unnatural and awkward. It should be something closer to:

"....I only meant to hide for a little while, venting about that stupid bureaucrat."

"But, before I knew it, I got lost and passed out... and woke up here."

If tosiaki doesn't see the original TL's as awkward and unnatural he needs to work on his English.

>>11821464
First, I see nothing wrong with starting out with "In the beginning." Furthermore, you got rid of "in the forest," which I see as quite problematic. Also, "venting" could work, but I don't see it as much different from the phrase "making spiteful remarks." Also, "government official" is simply what that person is.

For the second phrase, I do think that "somehow" does work. Furthermore, "I got lost and passed out" is not what this is about. It's about "not being able to remember anything sometime in the middle" so you missed the point of that with the way you changed it. Furthermore, "when I came to..." makes it more apparent that it's about suddenly waking up In fact, this particular phrase was used in Silent Hill:

"When I came to, everyone was gone."

If you think that the word choices in Silent Hill had bad English, then I don't know what kind of bad English you're talking about.

>>11821464
I think that in this area, you're just trying to push how you personally talk onto someone else. Different people talk different ways, and the sentences you pointed out are not particularly unnatural-sounding, even if they may be different than you you personally might say things.

>>11821464
What game is this line from?

>>11821494

……最初は、ちょっと森で隠れてあの役人に当てつけてやろうと思っただけ。

“... At first, all I thought of doing was hiding in the forest for a bit to vent about that official.”

The main thing here is that ‘In the beginning’ makes it sound like the start of a storybook and isn’t something someone would say while self-narrating.

I used the word “official” in this case because 役人 can mean administrator, bureaucrat, or official. I personally haven’t played the game, so I don’t know his exact occupation.

でも、どうしてか途中から何も覚えてなくて。気がついたら、こんな森の奥に……。

“But, somewhere along the way, I blacked out and when I came to, I was deep inside the forest…”

The two offenders here are the ‘in the middle’ which is not something any Western English speaker says when talking about their own physical movements. Most say ‘en route’, ‘during’ or ‘along the way’, etc. Furthermore, tosiaki's translation completely omits the key factor of this ENTIRE sentence: The fact she ended up DEEP in the forest (森の奥) after blacking out.

>>11821570
Then "at first" could work too. The person is indeed a government official.

As for your suggestion for the second sentence, yes, that seems to work perfectly fine.

Okay, the kirisame1.06.rar file has now been updated to address those two particular lines.

>>11821648

Tosiaki, I think you’re really missing the bigger picture here.

The fact that we're trying to bring to your attention that you sincerely need an editor for your English and, if you can get it, someone else to double check your translations. These small examples we're bringing to your attention are just that, examples of either hard to read or mistranslated lines, not an all inclusive list of mistakes; they’re far from that.

We're not asking you to fix every wrong or awkward line we bring to your attention. We appreciate the fact you're trying to bring a bunch of these games to the English speaking community, but they could really benefit from a week or two being quality checked.

>>11821687
Well if anyone wants to volunteer, contacting me will be easy.

>>11821648
>>11821704

Thank you very much for addressing the issues.

Everybody is very thankful to you for being so pro-active and open to suggestions. We really appreciate all the efforts you are making and all the time you are investing.

We are looking forward to Mahoyiga!!

Vgperson has confirmed to be working on a new project called "The Gray Garden" (灰色庭園)

http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/73924218185/so-im-still-a-long-way-from-being-done-with-it

Her next project will be the new game by Uri, "The Sandman", which is coming out on January.

>>11787660
Woah there amigo, ubuuchan's just pretty much been taken over by kids, you've still got /jp/ so take it easy.

>>11787855
What game is this?

>>11823602

Rather, this was a critical point for him as a TL; if he wasn't open to improving then he'd remain 'obscure/shitty TL X'. But, since he's willing to improve (and if he can find an editor/QC) he's on the path to being a respected TL.

Guys i think you were being a little to jugdemental to tosiaki over such trivial things as "spelling" or "punctuation, sure you can point it out to him kindly but you guys don't need to keep correcting him, seriously, I bet he's trying his hardest to make us happy by bringing us these games but you guys just kept repeatedly telling him, he was wrong or he's an awkward translator, jeez at least he's trying and sucessfully knows most Japanese and English, he knows more than most of us here, admit it, that's impressive

My main message here: at least he's trying, but i will admit you guys do have a point, but could you tone it down a bit...please...

>>11824444


Well, let me put it this way:

I passed some of the games off to some EOPs I know (ones who enjoyed games like Ib and TWH). They played them for ~10 minutes; long enough to laugh, and then languish, at how awful the English was.

So he needed to understand that his TL needed some work. It looks like we got that across to him, so there's not much more for me to say. Hopefully he improves and we get good games, and I can pass them on to people who will enjoy them.

>>11824444

I'm happy that he's open to criticism, but all of these games have, I'm not going to mince words here, atrocious English that actually influences how the game's story is received by the average player. The interesting factor here is that tosiaki clearly knows English, but for some odd reason this does not apply to the games he releases. It's not just the English, either, there's also cases where he mistranslates Japanese that I learned within my first semester. This baffles my mind and is part of the reason why I think he needs to be under the wing of a senior translator so he can learn some of the intricacies of stuff he misreads. Kind of like how professional companies have interns under senior translators so that the latter can pick up on their mistakes and train them up on it. My point is that there is a certain amount of slack that I can cut people. No one's perfect and I am willing to cut someone slack on a mistranslated line or two and a couple of misspellings, even commercial grade translations have these, but the releases we're presented have been unplayable for both me and all my friends I've shown them to. Tosiaki's heart is in the right place trying to get these games out to people, but they're so unpolished that they're unplayable.

For example, aside from the mistranslations and awkward English, I feel none of the characters presented have any personality. The translations of the text feel sterile and awkward. I feel it’s insulting to the work the Japanese authors have put into their games. This kills a game for me due to the fact that I PLAY games FOR the characters. This is yet another issue I have with these games. I load up the Japanese version and lo and behold, they do, in fact, have personalities and their own quirks in the Japanese. Just, for some reason, it wasn't brought over in English. All in all, the games need more polish and I want him to be aware of that.

>>11824444

One of my issues with tosiaki is that in the span of two months, he has released approximately 8 games that are filled with mistranslations, typos, awkwardly phrased sentences, and still didn't even bother to completely translate all of the Japanese. The final boss of Paranormal Syndrome was left completely in Japanese! That's incredibly lazy!

I'd rather have tosiaki release 1 or 2 games in a month that fixes all of these problem above. Rather than his current pace with him churning out 3 to 4 bad games with tons of errors that needed to be fixed.

I'm sorry, but someone was stupid enough to call him the "new upcoming and rising vgperson". What a joke! He's nowhere close to vgperson's quality!

>>11824610
>I feel none of the characters presented have any personality. The translations of the text feel sterile and awkward.
An important point is that putting "personality" into the characters' speech is not an easy manner. One has a great tendency to impose one's own manner of speech into whatever one writes, and therefore to "put on" a different personality is a whole different manner than simply translating things.

Message from Tosiaki here.

From here on, in order to possibly get feedback on translations before making them public, I first will be releasing the translations as a publicly editable spreadsheet on Google documents (Japanese and translated English side-by-side) so that anyone who wants to look at it can offer feedback (mainly, by inputting text in one of the cells to the side to offer suggestions for improvements).

Continuing >>11824737
I will also slowly be making spreadsheets for all 7 games translated so far so that suggestions can be made for them too.

>>11824715

This is partially true, but the same could be said for authors. The answer is not to just remove all styles of speech in an attempt to be 'pure' in your approach. That just robs the end product of all personality and makes it an unenjoyable read.

Okay, another message from Tosiaki.

On second thought, perhaps a wiki is more convenient than a publicly editable spreadsheet. So, I shall be using a wikia for now in order for people be able to easily look through the translations and offer their suggestions.

Okay, the wiki is now on wikia. I will be creating all the pages so that it will have all the translations, eventually.

http://tosiaki.wikia.com/wiki/Tosiaki_Wiki

Also, a continuation from >>11824904
If anyone can assist in creating the pages too, that would also be appreciated

Hey, if you ask me, he's already improve, look at Oni Play, i played a bit of it and no typos i have seen so far and by the way guys, he's just starting out, don't need to lose your anger over this. In other news, looks like he got the message, and hopefully becomes like what some anon said in

>>11824614

hopefully he will rise up to be of Vgperson's quality and we could respect him more (oh! and vi1222 too)
(p.s. wow don't you think that's a teensy weensy bit to mean)

>>11825461
>lose your anger
Would you really notice typos if you saw them?

>>11825470
look it up that's not a typo dumbass

>>11825470
I've test-played Forest of Drizzling Rain about 5 times, and on the fifth time, there were still some typos I didn't catch. Reading is something that is processed in the brain half-unconsciously, and therefore catching every single typo can be quite a task.

Also in other news.

I will be playing the game and recording it to be posted on YouTube where I will be putting the translations first in annotations first before doing any tinkering with the game itself. I find that this helps with reducing the amount of typos and allows an extra look-over before inserting the translation into the game. I also invite everyone to look through the videos and its annotations and offer suggestions in the video comments about any improvements to the translation. (After the video series is done, the translations will be then moved to the new wiki for a further chance to look it over, before modifying the game itself).

>>11825489
No, you're right, it's not a typo. It's also not correct at all. It's so incorrect that I don't see how someone that thought it could possibly be correct would ever notice a typo.

>>11825493
I find this post quite silly. You're trying to lash out at someone unrelated, and I'm not sure if you misunderstood this "Anon-geko" to be Tosiaki (myself), but if you are assuming as such, I'd just like to point out that this assumption is mistaken. First of all, my window looks something a lot more like this.

>>11825519
Damn nigga close some tabs.

>>11824269
Akemi Ballad.

One of the worst RPG maker 'horror'game I've played.

Please no i am not tosiaki please don't think i'm him, i am not i swear to the bottom of my heart that i'm not him

>>11825546
Why are artists on deviantart so obnoxious when it came to watermarking their works?

You wouldn't see faggotry like this shit anywhere on Pixiv.

>>11825548
ORIGINAL CONTENT DO NOT STEEAAAAALLLL

>>11825548
That's because on pixiv, there's a lot of focus on these "events" that take place in real-life, rather than making yourself famous on the internet.

>>11825538
huh, why so I thought it pretty neat....

>>11825538
>>11825571
Perhaps it was too scary for him.

Guys, guys, let's just all be friends and agree that tosiaki needs a bit of work, and he will improve cause he is a good willed person
So this hopefully will be tha last we here about "ametuer translations" or "he's a joke", he oviously will improve cause he won't stop, so let's all be friends just let it be, peace guys peace!

>>11825578

Nothing scary about poorly drawn picture.

>>11823602
Agree!

>>11825571
What's so neat about it?

The game only feature shitty jump scare of bunch of weird monster things that has no explanation whatsoever and the story is nothing special.

Not to the mention the drawing is real shit.

>>11825623
And for a game that relied so much of jump scares, this game doesn't even feature decent gore,

and that Deus-ex machina ending.

>>11825616
Even though, THE JUMPSCARES
(p.s. It's still something)

>>11825633
Deus ex machin ending? I suggest you replay it

>>11825642
What of it?

You want jump scare that was done well?

Witch's house.

>>11825646
Even Ib's jumpscare part was better that Akemi Ballad, and it doesn't even rely or "hurr durr in random non sensical" picture too.

>>11825646
Ok guys, just settle it like this, some people think it's terrible, some people think it's great, seriously, respect eachother's opinions

>>11825663
Can you explain what's so great about it?

>>11825674
not me ask the guy who said it was good i just want peace here

>>11767803
Here I thought my day was going to be yet anoter boring day, but now at least I have games to play. Thank you for indicating that site, I had no idea there was such a thing.

>>11825674
well my explaining wouldn't get through to you anyway, plus i agree with
>>11825681
i'll respect your opinion and just keep going with my opinion and move on, peace!

>>11824740
>>11824904
>>11825495

Tosiaki, thanks again for not taking criticisms to heart and offering so many possibilites.

I am sure that those who want to collaborate with your translations will find means to do it, as you are offering many ways to deal with them.

Obviously, it is very easy to criticize a certain point of a translation, but I hope those of you who have the knowledge and capability to collaborate with Tosiaki also show the willingness and commitment that he has in translating those projects consistently.

>>11825707

But I am really interested in what redeeming quality you found it Akemi Ballad.

I mean, the drawing is shit, the plot is shit, the pacing is shit, the ending is shit.

But those are my opinions. If you can say it to my face that any of those are good( which you never did) then I'll end the discussion right here.

>>11825733
its good, done

>>11825730
I agree with this anon, thanks for putting effort into these translations and being cool about everything Tosiaki.

>>11825730
agree

>>11825733
As for myself personally, it was watching a playthrough by a well-known let's player named レトルト that made things interesting. It was not so much the scariness as it was simply how much I was able to laugh listening to the silly things that レトルト said while playing this. Here is a link:

http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm18447253

Though unfortunately, it probably won't be as funny if you don't understand enough Japanese.

>>11824737
>>11824740
>>11825495

Tosiaki, I am the person who started the thread (and who normally updates the thread with new announcements and stuff).

I just want to thank you again for your patience when dealing with all of us. I didn't expect that the thread would so thoroughly discuss your work. I am happy to see that your works are gaining popularity, but I am even happier to see how well you are managing criticism and all the efforts you are making to cater for those who criticize your work.


The concept of respectability is being discussed a lot here. I think that Tosiaki's (and, by extension, Vi2222's) translations are VERY respectable. They are doing what they can within their capability, and it is thanks to that that we are being able to discuss the outcomes.

We can criticize a work because there is a work to criticize in the first place.

Putting up a wiki is very demanding and time consuming. So are the Let's play videos.

I have just joined the wiki, but since my Japanese level of JLPT5 is next to useless in this case and I am not a native English speaker, my contributions can just resort to spell proofing and checking that the grammar structures are basically correct.

Decisions regarding character quirks, speech mannerisms, puns, plays on words, etc are sadly over my head.

I hope that more capable volunteers step up and join us as well!

Ps: I will keep on updating the thread with news on the scene, starting a new one once this thread reaches its limit

>>11825978
Damn right

>>11825978
Finally, some clarity!

>>11825978
I can't help but to agree with you

VG-hime is pretty awesome. Awesome musical tastes too. Wonder how long her cock is.

>>11825978
At least people are starting to act kinder and thank tosiaki and vi1222 now, yaay! ( i felt bad for the corrections they were getting..)

>>11826018

BOO!

What the fuck is even going on in this thread. Is this tumblr?

>>11826166
Either tumblr cocksucking brigade or just one tumblrcocksucker.

>>11826166
>>11826215

It is to be expected that the arrival of new content always raises controversy and polarising opinions. It has always been like that.

Also, this might come as a spoiler to some of you, but tumblr people have been in /jp/ all along, even if some now feel compelled to use tripcodes to show bonds of solidarity with the translators.

As long as they give me new content, I don't care where they come from. Everybody is welcome if they making material that I am interested in more accessible to me. This is the land where "taking it easy" is our motto.

>>11826714
We can't we all be like this chill-ass anon right here

wow....

>>11827260
Nobody wants your poorly packed game collection, tumblrite. Go back to your shitty blog.

>>11827260
Just have caution that games might be updated since they have been put into the compilation.

>>11827260
Much appreciated.

>>11827260
OFF is a horror game? The only scary parts of it were encountering the Secretaries in the Purified Zones. Jesus christ they made me leap out of my seat a few times. The other parts like the Critic-Burnt battle and The Room gave me more of a "WHY ;_;" feeling more then anything.

While you guys all talk about "English" and things like that, you guys talk about things in completely uneducated ways. If you want to point out grammar, it would be more instructive, for example, to diagram the sentences to separate out the nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. You guys know not a thing about grammar, and I doubt any of you are grammaticians. Leave your uneducated criticisms to someone with real expertise.

>>11828225
If we were doing that the games would be getting translated by a professional translator. Fuck off.

Just finished playing all the ending for Oni Asobi, and I thought it was alright. Not wonderful, but it was okay. Personally, I hated all of the chase scenes though, because I felt that some were too difficult and time-consuming. Then again, I'm not a very big fan of chase scenes in the first place.

Overall, it wasn't very scary though, and I didn't love the story.
I've played all of the games listed in this thread, aside from maybe one or two of them, and so far my favorites out of these recently translated ones have been Paranormal Syndrome and Boy Ichiro's Modesty.

>>11829842

New update by Memories of Fear status (http://memoriesoffear.tumblr.com/):

CORPSE PARTY if PAST END (RPG MAKER XP)
- Translation: 100%.
- Editing/Playtesting: 80%.
- Release Date: February 2014.

Next project:
AO ONI VERSION 4.2 (RPG MAKER XP)
(is it even such a diferent version from the previously released one?)

>>11825611
Would you mind posting that picture, friend?

>>11833397
Good to know that they're starting work on the PC version of Corpse Party. Hopefully they'll figure out how to get the sequel working as well.

>>11833397
even if, ao oni was one of the worst ones i've ever played

it wasn't even scary, the characters sucked, the plot was something a 10-year-old thought of and the chase scenes were boring as shit.

>>11835333

I watched the Lets Play of some japanese guys playing it. It was pretty hilarious. Wish I could remember their names..

>>11835363

Do you mean this one? It's the most watched Ao Oni LP by Niconico.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hcBadjvGU

>>11835464

Yeah that's them!

Yet anoher update by Memories of Fear (http://memoriesoffear.tumblr.com/):

HAND IN HAND (RPG MAKER 2000)
- Translation: 10%.
- Editing/Playtesting: 0%.
- Release Date: TBA.

Hand in Hand is the English title for Musubareta Te (結ばれた手).

It is a short horror RPG Tkool game where two students are trapped inside their high school and they have to escape. There are also some shōjo ai (romance between girls) elements.

>>11797118
A new update ofTosiaki's future projects:

· The project Possibility (カノウセイ, Kanousei) has been expanded with the Visual Novels Possible World (カノウセカイ, Kanousekai) and
Inevitability (ヒツゼンセイ, Hitsuzensei).

· Scapegoat Girl (身代わり少女, Migawari Shoujo) has been scheduled before the Memory Girl saga.

Besides that, the line-up for games to be released in the far future has been updated to:

· Utahono Curse (哥欲祟, Utahono Tatari)
· Infection Nightmare (感染性ナイトメア, Kansensei Naitomea)
· Haunted House Exploration Team (お化け屋敷探検隊)
· Black Labo
· Devil Plug-in
· The Girl of the Birdcage (鳥籠の少女, Torikago no Shoujo)

(picture is from Possibility (カノウセイ, Kanousei))

>>11789148

That was a nice game. Getting 100% (Gold & Silver Toilets) required a bit of back tracking, but the alternate final battle scene was worth it( '100 Butt Cracking Fist' was pretty cool ).

Especially loved the Mario house.

>>11839779
fuck that mario house.

Speaking of toilets how did you complete #5 on the list of things. I can't figure out what it is.

The new translation by Vgperson is out!

http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/74514586295/the-gray-garden

The Gray Garden: a world where angels and demons live in harmony.
Yosafire, a demon who likes flowers, enjoys a carefree life with her friends.
Then one day, a mysterious bat appears in the garden…

The Gray Garden is a pseudo-RPG with a heavy story focus, made by Mogeko (site name Deep-Sea Prisoner) in RPG Maker 2000. I say “pseudo” because the story is what you’re here for and the RPG elements stay firmly in the back seat. Being bad at RPGs shouldn’t be a concern.

Okay, so I tried to make a thread about this, but I guess it got deleted by a mod or something.
But I was curious if you could machine-translate untranslated RPG maker horror games or even regular PC games, such as for example Corpse Party 2 using visual novel translation tools like Atlus, ITH, ect.
Is it possible?

>machine-translate
Fuck off, fuwashit.

>>11842884
I can't find anything about it on Google. That's why I'm asking here.

>>11842003
Gray Garden? More like Gay Garden. While it's not horror, it's pretty fun, too.

>>11842881

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha.

No.

Try machine translating this:

知ってるか？！

Google Translate is completely unable to contextually translate what that is supposed to mean.
And that, my friend, is just the tip of a monstrous and ugly iceberg.

>>11767802
Which ones are like Corpse Party?

>>11842881
Alternatively, go to this thread:

http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,16775.0.html

For many, many examples of why no one should ever try to translate even a children's book with a Machine Translator.

>>11842003
Vgperson has announced a new project, which is again a translation of a Mogeko game (same as The Gray Garden).

The new project is titled Wadanohara (大海原と大海原).

New update by Memories of Fear (http://memoriesoffear.tumblr.com/))

HAND IN HAND (RPG MAKER 2000)
- Translation: 70%.
- Editing/Playtesting: 60%.
- Release Date: TBA.

>>11840859
I won't be able to say right now (I don't have the game on me) but, did you find the 'Underwater Palace'?

>>11844607
Can we just spam him until he decides to translate Towelket?


By the way,,. Not Horror RPG related but... What the hell happened to 2hu mother 2?

>>11842003
Looks cute, did anyone translate more games from the author?

>>11845107
The author only has these two games (and a comic). With this, both games will be available in English.

>>11845034
I just asked her on Tumblr. The style of Mogeko's games have reminded many users of Towelket.

Please be a coincidence.

>>11845421
a coincidence on...?

>>11845444
He's probably talking about Homestuck, a shitty webcomic

>>11845525
>>11845421

True! I didn't notice at first!

The first release dates from 12/27/2012. It's a bit overlapping, indeed.

I finished Toilet in Wonderland yesterday. It was pretty good, I guess...

>>11840859
Here's the list.

>>11847585
No wonder he couldn't figure it out, what a loser.

>>11845113
Are you sure? Judging by the site it seems like it, but this game had a lot of what I thought to be references to other stuff.
And there's this game too: http://okegom.web.fc2.com/other/

>>11847585
Under water temple? I've been to 4 worlds, have no idea what to do next.

Where do I go next? I have 1-3 done on the checklist. I feel like I have to do something to the thing in the well but I can't figure out what.

>>11852077
Nevermind. I got all the items, found all areas. Got silver toilet. Still missing 4 and 5 on checklist because I have no idea where underwater temple is.

>>11852220
4 is in the forest in the cave near the beginning, walk into the water there.
5 you need to dance with the girl in the house in the forest, I don't remember if it's the other side forest or not.

>>11851592
The author only lists two games here (http://okegom.web.fc2.com/story/)), that's why I think no other games are developed yet.

Mogeko's Castle looks intriguing, but leads to a 404 page... no idea of what it may have been...

>>11842003
Well this is pretty neato in a retarded sort of way. I like the artstyle a lot more than I ought.

Dare I say I'm having fun?

>>11852557
Found a page with a valid download http://sycrealastudio.lofter.com/post/1c580c_8e5660

>>11852752
It was pretty good indeed.
Also I liked the fact you didn't have to do retarded grinding to proceed.

Bumpity.

A bit unrelated, but I don't know where else to ask.
Does anyone know what this reads? I got it while playing LSD Dream Emulator.

>>11865845
"Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish Samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!"

>>11865845
It has something to do with the pleasure and warmness of coming inside

>>11825538
This is my first time playing a horror RPG and it shows, because I'm jumping and getting all stressed out from playing it, even though admittedly the art sucks.

I can't even play it with the sound on. ;_;

>>11866242
your too scared!

Double update!!

Mahoyiga, (マヨヒガ) is a game created by Field of the Wheat (小麦畑, Komugi Hatake), translated by Tosiaki

>Charon games
cool
みことにっき > ヤンデレラ > まことメビウス > みっくすおれ > 赤ずきんDS
someone should suggest this order

赤ずきんDS is dumb and the MC in みっくすおれ made me want to punch my monitor

>>11868506
>ヤンデレラ
>Yanderella in second

It's fine, I guess, better than being last.

>>11868461

Maaaan, I'm not even done with the gray garden yet.

>>11787712
>>11787824

>>11824240

It's a copypasta.

>>11868461
Well... this game got surprisingly dark near the end.
I loved it, miles better than The Gray Garden. (which was good in it's own cute way)

Regarding neutral end 1...
Was it rape?

>>11868461
Mang vgboy sure is fast (I just discovered she's a grill although she used vgboy for a lot of time time ago and I'm stuck with it).

Also I hope she translates the castle game one day, this artist sure is good.

>>11821704
I can volunteer

>>11870956
>surprisingly dark

It's not like The Gray Garden didn't have cannibalism and torture in it.

ageru

>>11870956
>miles better than The Gray Garden

It's almost exactly the same game only with more water and an appropriately drippy protagonist.

>oh, it's that creepy dude who randomly attacks people for giggles and tried to eat me
>dude, could you look after my injured female friend? Thanks, gotta go!

A+ writing. I preferred TGG, if only because Yosafire was more fun, her friends had more to say than "........................" "...................." "Roger", and the whole world felt a little ethereal and surreal.

rikana = best au lait

not only was there actually a good ending with the best au lait, you got to screw over the faggot from the original

10/10 game
seriously fuck kuntaro

you mean there is a fucking like massive amount of tese spooki games that are old school style?


shit...

>>11883696
>>11884051
I don't really count one unfunny samefag as /jp/.

>>11884668
I think it was 3-4 people, broseph.

>>11884668
dont you think she is cute?

>>11885202
I was one of them and I'd say 2-3 at best

>>11885224
I was another, so there were at least 2

>>11885227
If you're all telling the truth then that makes four.

>So cute, I'm going to play the game just because of her.
