>>12214515
It could be worse. Much worse.

>>12214515
That's not even that bad.

>Koi iro Chu Lips released

How the fuck did a game like that get translated?

>>12214058
Yes, exactly. Except in these cases it wasn't far away, so you're pretty dumb if you think good translations for good games are that easy to kill.

>>12214515
I like that this is the only image people ever use to criticize the translation. Because they've never played the game so that's all they got. It doesn't even make a compelling argument.

>>12214591
Looking into it now, I don't understand either. It just looks like an incredibly normal game. Not that I'm against something like that being translated, but that's usually something that fan translators completely avoid, so I'm surprised.

I thought that it was the PSP version of Girl's Side 3rd Story translation that was released, not the DS one.

Also, kinda surprised more people aren't up about a (relatively) complete F/HA patch doing the rounds.

So Tokimemo Girl's Side 3 has a very high rating on VNDB (EGS only has two votes, giving it 68/68). Why is this? Is it actually good, or...?

Habluka: gay, I just reset the font puu dot sh /9Etve/17e36e195b.jpg
herkz: quality english
Moogy: uh
Moogy: that's directly from shakespeare

Sasuga our dear best-of-the-bestest-fan-editor. Who needs Shakespeare when you can insert some cool memez.

>>12214736
Fujoshi. Blame fujoshi.

>>12214591
Nothing wrong with a somewhat generic, lightweight moege. I wish we had more of them and less of those edgy chuuni shit kusoge.

>>12214789
I'm fine with either, but it'd be nice if translator's actually chose good ones with ratings above a 6. It's their choice of course. They probably liked it a lot.

>>12214771
My post really got to you, didn't it? You poor thing.

>>12214779
Yeah, but even a fujoshi is right twice a day (that's how the saying goes, right?). There's plenty of bishoujo games that are great even if you're not into bishoujo; is this game worth playing if you're not into bishounen?

>>12214789
I'm fine with it just incredibly surprised because it seems so normal.

>>12214771
If it hadn't been a Shakespeare text you would be agreeing on how that English line reads like shit. But because some overrated hack wrote it a couple centuries ago it's beautiful instead of poorly written.

>>12214797
The EGS scores are decent (hope you're not quoting vndb scores there, vndb users are terrible)

>>12214831
I can't go on EGS, unfortunately. Keep getting blocked no matter what proxy I use.

>>12214728
I think the fact that it took this long for F/HA to get a finished translation shows just how little the VN community cares for Fate. Unfortunate since it's got a lot going for it, but what can you do? On top of that there's going to be a lot of hate about the translation quality in this thread. Maybe /vg/ is discussing it more actively though, I don't go there so I don't know.

>>12214779
>>12214736
What this means is that it's very highly rated amongst the people it's made for, so if it's the kind of game that's up your alley, you can feel confident that you'll get a particularly enjoyable experience from it. "Good" is subjective, but yes, of course it's actually good - if you're the kind of person that would play it. Are many of the people in this thread that kind of person? Unlikely.

>>12214830
So because you don't understand Shakespeare, he's an overrated hack. Right. You probably don't know this since it isn't your first language, but the English language has changed over the years. What sounds strange now was perfectly normal back then. On top of that your "point" is completely empty, since if it wasn't from Shakespeare it wouldn't have been there in the first place. It's like that BECAUSE it's a Shakespeare line.

I also think it's hilarious that herkz is so classless that he doesn't know Shakespeare, so he just jumps right to calling it "quality English."

>>12214821
Nope. It's just a stat raising dating sim. Nothing worthy about it at all.

>I'll be back when FHA Vita comes out. The only way to fix this problem is to get out a patch that is voiced.

Great. I wasn't going to play it until it got voiced anyway. I still think this whole situation is very entertaining, though.

>>12214867
So wait, what specifically happened? Some random guy put together a 100% patch himself with the stuff that was available? And the Jack person got pissed off at that and then said fuck it and uploaded it himself? Or am I missing something? The post got deleted so I'm not sure. Sounds like the person that "leaked" it was very confused himself though.

>>12214854
>What sounds strange now was perfectly normal back then.
Which is precisely my point. Maybe it did sound good back in the day. Nowadays, however, it reads like shit. But because we agreed that it's good - because it's written by Shakespeare and therefore automatically good - it's considered beautiful, even though if we encountered such a sentence without it having been written by Shakespeare we would call it awful writing.

Picture related, it's art far more beautiful than the art in that image; people once decided it is, therefore it's true. If you disagree you're a philistine.

>>12214890
Yes, that's exactly what happened. The person who released the patch quickly released the project leaders did NOT like this, so he deleted his mediafire download. But it was too late already. Now everyone is either really mad at him or laughing uncontrollably.

>>12214893
I don't know how I'd react if a VN came out with sprites and CGs looking like this though.

>>12214893
But we WOULDN'T encounter a sentence like that outside of the context of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. It also does not read like shit unless you are somehow incapable of understanding it.

"Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."

It is a fact that this is beautiful regardless of who wrote it and when it was written. It being written in a different time only serves to explain why the style is so different from today's writing.

>>12214900
That's pretty silly. But hey, if it led to a release for a patch that wasn't coming any time soon, I'm all for it. Looking over that thread, that place has an extremely unpleasant community, so I'm glad something like this happened to shake things up. It's also much more amusing than someone intentionally (and maliciously?) leaking it.

>>12214591
This ungrateful plebs is the reason people should stop translating stuff.

>>12215007
There is no reason for people to be grateful for random shit. If you want gratitude from people, then ask them what they want translated.

Translator just ruined VNs anyway. I hope they get less and less gradually.

>>12214893
Don't compare drawing with writing, you idiot. It doesn't work that way.

>>12214890
Feels like /jp/ might be related.
>>12182262

>>12215023
That's not quite true, since there are people like myself and possibly that person who enjoy getting translations of random stuff we've never heard of. I like the surprise and it might turn me on to something I never would have thought of trying otherwise. So I'll always be grateful.

>>12215058
Doesn't talk the same way so it's probably not that guy. I'm amazed that someone could have the brains and attention span to put the work into something like that yet somehow not realize that Jack might not appreciate it. I guess he didn't know Jack.

>>12214837
With constant movies and series, there'll still be interest in the Fate series for a while. We might even get Fate/Extra CCC at some point.

Though never Fate/Tiger Colleseum.

>>12214837
What? Fate probably has the strongest userbase in the VN community. It's just that we have this "unspoken rule". If someone picks up a project, no one else will pick it back up, no matter how long it takes, unless it's officially cancelled, or a machine translation (F/HA had that accident but it was already fixed).

>>12215100
Well, perhaps, but that userbase isn't here on /jp/. Though I think it's less an unspoken rule and more the competent translators being lazy/uninterested/pansies. That sounds like a good name for a Fate spinoff, come to think of it.

I was looking up Moonstone's games to get an idea of what MangaGamer might be licensing in the future, and I found out about this project.

http://magicalmarriagelunatics.wordpress.com/

Looks pretty recent, but it doesn't seem to be listed here. Any particular reason, or did VNTS dude just not know about it?

>>12214179
Another big jump on Kichikuou Rance. Translator's been on a roll recently.

>>12215263
I don't think there's any reason. There are other projects that are not mentioned in the OP. People mention them, but they never seem to be added.

>>12215309
Meanwhile, all the ones that have been shown conclusively to be machine output or have been dead for 6+ months are kept.

>>12215449
Oh well. I think everyone that comes here every week and keeps an eye on this thread knows which translations are still moderately alive and which are not, so it's not that important.

>>12215263
I simply didn't know about it, it shall be added to next week's thread.

(I had meant to include Aroduc's project this week as well, but had forgot about it when I was putting together the thread)

>>12215449
As to dead projects, I'm planning to clean up the list again the week of AX.

Steins Gate sold 6000 copies of the limited edition of Steins;Gate at $60 each (in addition to regular edition and digital downloads), MangaGamer has numerous projects that digital sales are over 1k and a similar amount of hard copies, those sales figures from the Kickstarter aren't exactly new for VNs from the Western community.

>>12215835
Do you know what the important difference is there? The word "sold." Because the Kickstarter has sold 0.

>>12215852
They have sold 274 hard copies through Kickstarter thus far, as well as 821 digital copies at various prices with various extras. Excluding the few people who offer less than $20 and get nothing, they are selling products on Kickstarter to people, it doesn't matter if it's being sold well in advanced. Those people who are getting a digital copy through kickstarter won't be back to buy a copy at release because they already brought their copy, and the hard copies have to be printed and shipped to the people who purchased them.

>>12215871
Fuck off, Dovac.

>>12214771
>Kabutoyama Mitori
>Side character
why.

>>12215871
If effect, Dovac is using Kickstater as a store to sell preorder copies well in advanced while getting publicity for doing so because the press loves Kickstater. Kickstater does heavily discourage multiple projects before earlier projects have been finished and shipped and notes that they "rarely permit" multiple projects at one on their creator questions page, so if Dovac plans to do this continuously with other projects, at some point it very well might crash if Kickstater decides to stop allowing his projects.

>>12214904
I would think /jp/ would like Shakespeare.

Taming of the Shrew: Stranger takes the strong independent daughter of a rich family, locks her up, and tortures her into becoming his willing slave.

Romeo and Julet: Tragic love between a shy man and a 13 year old girl.

Midsummer Night's Dream: Fairy love potion hijinks.

Let's see, so we have mind-breaking, lolicon, and a magical orgy. If Mangagamer released that tomorrow, nobody would bat an eye.

>>12215887
Steam's already apparently told him that his business model is inappropriate and shady as fuck. It's only a matter of time.

Don't forget the one about crossdressing. It really amused me when I actually found out the original context of "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."

You need to start off with a fair amount of cash.

I'm not him but I survive through betting on sports matches.

>>12216386
That also requires a decent capital to get started and your income isn't quite stable since it requires games with certain ranges for odds, knowledge of teams ect, and a little bit of luck. I don't care about sports whatsoever so I just have a passive farm running in the corner and that pays everything and more for me.

>>12216000
When and where was this said? Dovac tends to have all of his Sekai Project discussion in #denpa, and this conversation never happened there nor have I seen anyone named Kura there.

>>12216224
You guys don't get it, this is actually beautiful writing.

"Place the tongue in addition to mountain twin
shake the motion, let down the river
on the body of Tohsaka.

I suck at the skin along her collarbone as I trace my fingers
along the valley between her breasts over and over,
her sweat-damp skin transmitting its scent
and slightly sticky texture to my senses.

And as I continue caressing her, I strain my ears
and make my whole body an antenna
and confirm the changes Tohsaka's."

Shakespeare could've written it himself.

You're never going to get over this Shakespeare thing are you herkz?

>>12216490

I didn't think it was possible to be this uncultured. I'm guessing you used high school as an example because you never graduated.

>>12216893
Rizon has tons of 'otaku-related' channels, from #tlwiki to fansub group channels to release channels (for example for Japanese music piracy) to imageboard channels. It's basically the primary server for anything /jp/-related on IRC. (There's also some stuff on SynIRC such as #vndb and #denpa and I know #MangaGamer at least used to be there but I haven't been there in ages, but aside from those few exceptions (and the odd channel on a different server) it's all Rizon.)

Anyway, thanks Kura.

>>12216968
>uncultured
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Shakespeare writing is good because society decided it is and you're a sophisticated person if you like it...regardless of whether you actually like his work or not. If you openly admit to not liking Shakespeare you're a peasant with no taste.

What dude. There's nothing interesting at all there. Just that death is the universal equalizer, as if there hasn't been a million people better at writing about that. Nobody intelligent likes shitspeare, it's just garbage. The only reason it's liked is because britain literally controlled the world and made it mandatory reading. Doesn't help that nobody reads anything anyways

Neither did shakespeare

#rekt
#buttdestroyed

It doesn't actually matter whether you like Shakespeare's writings or you think that his work is shit. The undeniable fact is that Shakespeare's plays have had a large cultural influence on creative works, and if you can't identify references to his works, then you are a plebeian. Like Herkz.

>>12216977
How the hell did you get that out of that paragraph? Good grief, people say all this bullshit about hating Shakespeare and then they go and show that they have no idea what they're talking about.

It's amusing to see multiple people in this thread making the claim that fans of Shakespeare only like him to look sophisticated. If anything, such fans are in the minority now, because the hive's mentality is to automatically hate his work because it is supposedly popular. Generally without understanding it, because they're so pissed off that writing that got famous actually requires thought to comprehend. Your posts are just more evidence supporting that.

Anyway, while it continues to disturb me to see people who outright dislike Shakespeare's work for shallow reasons, I will say that >>12217016
makes a good point. Regardless of your opinion on Shakespeare, it's embarrassing not to recognize him (and if you think his stuff is shit but can't identify it, then where the hell did you get your opinion?).

>>12217016
Shakespeare didn't write the plays.

>>12217059
What? Yes, he did. Generally he got the stories from somewhere else, but he adapted them into plays and put them in his own style. Which is why the important parts of the plays are things like the distinct way in which they are written and the clever wordplay he uses.

>>12216978
Anytime, Lieutenant Useless.

>>12217058

>Regardless of your opinion on Shakespeare, it's embarrassing not to recognize him (and if you think his stuff is shit but can't identify it, then where the hell did you get your opinion?).
Yeah, thats the whole point.
It doesn't matter whether he is good or not, but he is essential part of Anglosphere culture, and not being able to identify not just references, but literal citations of his work is clear sign of lack of any education.
You cannot seriously call yourself "editor" if you didn't study even this much.

Why should people know Shakespeare in the modern age? Isn't he overhyped because most of his stories were just retellings?

As with any post-Shakespeare literature, the actual story is entirely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is how it's written.

>>12217421
>Ah, the classic you can't criticize unless you yourself are accomplished.
It's funny because that's not what he said

>>12217897
Romeo and Juliet is overhyped.
Macbeth is not hyped enough IMO.

>>12217229
Here's another gold one.
The first one was something like
>お姉さまと呼ばせてください
And her answer
>え？そっちの方もいけるの？

But really, the whole translation is terrible. I can understand the occasional meme they throw in there, that might have been in the original line (don't know, because they've been in MC's lines so far), but they change the meaning of every third line. Not to mention the occasional typos. I guess the saving point is that they don't go liberal with food naming and keep honorifics.

>>12218014
Adowable is probably not a typo but intentional, she may have said kyawai or something.

>>12218024
The issue with that was getting 'little sister' from お姉さま(onee-sama).

>>12218014
You were perfectly fine with the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~ then?

>>12218024
You're incapable of reading so I'll translate it for you:
Can I call you onee-sama? -> Please think of me as your adowable little sister.
Eh? You swing that way too? -> A-Ah, what? Why, why not just call you 'Nagisa-chan'?

>>12218052
I have no idea what the punctuation looks like in the original, so I won't comment on that.

>>12218075
>Eh? You swing that way too? -> A-Ah, what? Why, why not just call you 'Nagisa-chan'?

Rewriting must be the cool thing translators are doing nowadays.

>>12218024
There is not a single word about "可愛い" there. Seriously, i don't see any reason to change the whole sentence like that. He can translate it as " May i call you onee-sama?" .
>>12218014
Why would translator do that actually? I can't call that translation, really. Even you can't literally translate it to english at least you should make content of sentence has the same meaning as original, not completely rewrite it like that.

>It's not just men, she acts like this whenever someone approaches me

Not sure how to TL the last one without it sounding like shit, but it would be something like
>This is a place for when you grow up

All of this is in 5 minutes worth of reading, in case anyone had some some hope left. Left out the part where the teacher forcefully takes the cute succubus/cupid/whatever and they change the meaning so it sounds like she followed her because she wanted to eat sweets.

Yes, full patch was released a while ago.

[21:26] <Moogy> [20:25:49] <@Cafe> basically we have the original translation, another translator's edited/tlced version, and another editor's version of the cartagra scripts
[21:26] <Moogy> [20:25:53] <@Cafe> so 3 different sets of scripts
[21:26] <Moogy> [20:26:03] <@Cafe> I'm just merging changes from the three of them into one consistent script
[21:26] <Moogy> [20:26:10] <@Cafe> and checking things over while I go

F/HA was pronounced dead on June 24th 2014, sources claim it was cardiac arrest

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia - Translation project dead, 100% translated patch with unvalidated text released

Only 25% of the translation needed to be checked. I'm surprised nobody else wants to pick it up.

>>12218972

needs a lot more then that, the leaked patch is 75% a machine translation, unless his mystery version that isn't being released out of spite is somehow not a load of bullshit which is unlikely.

>>12218993
How can it be 75% machine translation when it's basically the TLwiki content which is 75% released, proofread content?

If someone just cleans up the machine translation into stuff that makes sense, it'll be good enough.

>>12219137
I think he means 75% of the leaked part, so 19% of the whole game.

Not only that, some of the proofread content needs to be re-validated and go through editing since it's inaccurate.

>>12218936
Reminds me of Clannad.

Why the hell would they schedule the MG and JAST panels to overlap at AX. Are they fucking stupid?

>>12222343

It's AX. I'm convinced their scheduling team makes every effort to put events the same group of people might be interested in in competing time slots. Maybe it's some sad attempt at crowd control.

>>12222353
I don't think you need crowd control for JAST or MG's empty panels.

So what do we think JASTUSA will finish next? Shiny Days or Raidy 3?

>>12222343

Alright.

>>12217897
>Isn't he overhyped because most of his stories were just retellings?
He fleshed out Romeo and Juliet by giving it compelling side characters and good dialogue. It was a very basic story before that.

>>12219726
With the Vita still not hacked, wouldn't someone have to manually record all the dialogue off a copy and then put it into the game?

>>12221752
If you can't translate into proper English to start with, then you're not a translator. You're just butchering language.

You're working really hard and quickly on games you like and that's awesome. Good luck to you and your future projects.

>>12224436
Thanks. Hopefully in 2015 I can translate more games, too.

>>12224441
Do you already have games in mind?

>>12224444
If I can get better at hacking game engines other than Kirikiri, I'd like to translate either One Lover (http://vndb.org/v5757)) or Mesuinu Hatsujouki (http://vndb.org/v10314)), since nobody's ever translated a bestiality centric nukige before and I like both titles.

I'd also like to work on either Ochiru Hitozuma (http://vndb.org/v8606)) or Koukaku no Ai (http://vndb.org/v9711)) since I'm a big fan of Black Lilith. I'd also like to work on 不良にハメられて受精する巨乳お母さん (http://vndb.org/v9643)) since it was one of my first nukige.

I probably won't get to do more than one or two of those, though, since I won't be NEET anymore. And I'd also like to take another commission if I have time.

>>12224181
The guy is bad and he admitted he isn't good at japanese.

>>12224452
Oh yeah, I 'read' the Delta one. I say 'read' because I don't think there was any text because of their stupid protection thing. It's a real bitch to get working, like most Delta games. I'd imagine it'll be difficult to hack. But I know nothing about that, so good luck.

>another commission
You've taken commissions before?

>>12224459
Was it Mesuinu Hatsujouki? I found that if I set my Region and Language format to Japan, not just my locale, I could read the text. I don't recall any problems with One Lover, although I may have gone out of my way to crack it.

Otomeido@cafe was commissioned. My rate's 1 cent per character although dovac's making me rethink that.

>>12224463
>My rate's 1 cent per character although dovac's making me rethink that.

dovac is a liar. No one is paying $0.10/character for videogame translation, let alone eroge translation.

>>12224463
Your client must be happy to have it translated so quickly.

I have hit a really simple bit that I'm having a hard time translating. I feel stupid, but I can't seem to translate this smoothly while preserving something of the original.

>>12224492
I'd go with "Don't mess up the timing!" or something along those lines, although I can't say for sure without all the context.

>>12224474
I guess, I'm actually bummed with myself because I told him I'd be done by the 16th, and now I'm probably going to be 2-4 weeks late on that. Still better than F/HA, though.

After all these years, Popotan is finally at 1%.

So it seems a new Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas project is starting up.
> 4chan won't let me post the link, so google it.

Currently, they are looking for translators and TLC'ers. But don't worry, they have two editors already! It seems at least one of those has a "less amount of Japanese" and obviously questionable English.

I'll leave it to your imagination what that means for the future of the project.

>>12224974

Who's sucking it up? From what I gather most people that are reading it just don't give a shit because it's not exactly a very good game to begin with, so a bad translation really can't make it all that much worse if you've already relaxed your standards this far.

>>12225815
What can they do ? The will suck anything as long its translated.

>>12224665

That's already been translated. I was asking if anything new besides Oreimo is being done.

how is FHA's translation? dead?

It's complete, sort of. A full, partially unvalidated patch was released. It also has crashing issues on a couple scenes, one at night with Taiga and one on the bridge with Rin. Can only get past them by temporarily removing the patch.xp3 and playing through them untranslated. Taiga's event is needed to go to the pool with Ilya.

There's another untranslated/crashing event, the Bazett eclipse scene in the Emiya household, but I can't figure out how to get to trigger it, anyway. Only even know it's there from testing things with a 100% save.

One of the project's actual team members released his own 100% patch in the Beast's Lair thread; are you using that or the shitty one that some clueless nobody made?

>>12232346
I'm using the one the beast's lair guy released, not the clusterfuck that was first leaked. Still crashing on those three scenes.

>>12232353
v20140627 is the official one right?

Asspull ending. Even KEY should learn from the master of asspulls.

Doesn't have giant robots, so why would anyone care?

>>12236822
Meh, giant robots are superficial

I can add giant robots to Macbeth in no time, but giant robots will never have all that cool plot of Macbeth

>>12236827
>cool plot and characters and setting*
Thane of Glamis & Thane of Cawdor!
