There are no “issues”. They just got the one that was cheaper.

Dead week, dead thread, dead scene.

Sorry, I promise to do at least 50 lines of shinimasu just for you this week anon.

>>21453767
Thanks, Zaka.

>>21454061
My apologies for that, I missed them when putting the thread together as the status page on their website didn't include those updates. That set of updates will be included in the thread next week.

>People are buying this game with the hope that it'll make them laugh, not educate them about Japanese humor.
No we are buying because we want Japanese humor, if we wanted bad western humor we would watch youtube or something.

This is like the who Blizzard thing with wow classic. Fans ask for wow classic and Blizzard goes like "no you dont really want that, you think that you want it but you really dont". Now that they started losing money they finally realized that fans actually want we say that we want.
The only difference here is that VN fans are dumb and keep eating up all the crap the companies shit out anyway.

>>21455845
They also have two secret projects through translation and editing, however it doesn't give what type of projects (VN or LN) they are.

>>21455845
>8% translated
Why the fuck do these faggots announce an estimated release date before even starting to work on the damn VN?

>>21455845
OniKiss clearly says 88/85, not 85/81.
Also, it seems to be the most popular one.

>>21455479
I don't know why you guys even bother complaining about NN. Their staff clearly have a stance toward localization. I even bet most of their buyers like what they get, and it's not you anymore. Sorry guys, but the time your opinions mattered shit is long past gone.

>>21455898
Onikiss and Nukitashi will be quite popular with the community who closely follows VNs, although Sol Press is likely going to have a headache trying to figure out how to distribute them and reach a broader audience since Valve is extremely unlikely to entertain either.

>>21455878
At least one of those is a dlsite rpgmaker game, someone on /vn/ said it's supposed to be RJ221870.

>>21455944
OniKiss is a perfectly wholesome VN with no H in the first 4 or so hours. That’s a lot for a 20 hour game.

DUDE
U
D
E

>>21455992
I doesn't matter how wholesome the beginning is when the endgames is still to fuck your very obviously underaged blood related sisters.
There's also the fact that if they tried to make an all ages version the routes would be practically empty and they would even have to cut or modify some stuff from the common route like when you see Asahi's boobs. No way Onikiss will ever be allowed on steam.

Someone translated https://vndb.org/v2183

https://ulmf.org/threads/re049913-onee-san-to-amaero-milk-kissa.13117/

>>21456199
You can put just the common route there, like DI or SubaHibi.

>>21455992
>>21456199
You also need to consider how astringent steam has gotten with their policies.
If Yotsunoha and Hello;goodbye got banned (albeit the latter got put back after heavy editing), what makes you think Onikiss - a game with very obviously looking underage characters - has any chance to get on steam?

>>21456368
>how astringent

>>21456422
It’s probably conjueror.

>>21455941
Dovac used to say the same thing when the fad of normies buying VNs because they're favorite streamer did was over, he was left with just us again. Good times. Besides, the only larger market that matters besides us is the Chinese market and not every company is jumping on the latter.

>>21456553
Remember when Dovac lied about stepping down from being CEO as a PR stunt?

https://twitter.com/SolPressUSA/status/1135349671528808448
It looks like Sol Press is probably going to follow the NekoNyan approach, as Sol Press noted they are in discussions with other storefronts to give Yotsunoha a broader release.

>>21457178
They should've done that from the beginning.

>>21457208
They really should have worked on a back up plan months ago, but Sol Press probably figured they could simply edit out enough content to get any title onto Steam right up until Valve rejected their heavily cut build of Yotsunoha.

>>21457249
I would have thought that the age-old saying of "don't put all your eggs in one basket" was a commonly known life lesson.

>Describing eroge as 紙芝居 is a common thing among people that try to be condescending to them so seeing that line with absolutely no knowledge to the original context, I assumed that the original used that hence calling them power points, and the rest was just dressing added to the line that fits the overall condescending demeanor.
>Out of curiosity I checked to see how close I was and I was actually completely off the mark. It was just エロゲ、ですか？ So yeah there was no negative tone and I guess it was just randomly added, oh well.
>On a different note, she uses ノーチェンジ in that conversation which the translator translates as "I will not change my ways" showing that he probably has no idea what that's even referring to. Granted it's not something that an English audience is likely to understand anyway so you could argue it's different on purpose, but you could come up with something a bit more creative that that while you're at it.
>Albeit I guess I can relate to giving 0 fucks while translating a game you don't care about. Personally I'd feel too guilty to get a paycheck for that though(after the 1st time doing it, anyway...)
https://vndb.org/t12411

So NN games not only are grossly liberal but also mistranslated?

>>21458854
THIS is who they translate for...

>>21458465
Sounds about right. There's that one guy that posts comparisons sometimes, but the vast majority of complaints are about editing and come from people who wouldn't know any better.

>>21458875

Has it ever mattered? VNTS has always gone against the grain. We have never had a great influence on how the market moves. It's been painfully clear for many years now that translation quality doesn't matter - the majority of the fanbase are ill-informed ESL morons from fuwanovel or ironic weebs that pick up on titles through popular e-celebs.

>>21459952
Maybe deep down Chuee and co are tsundere for us?

>>21459952
Commercially, the script quality matters, but only to the point where it becomes a problem to the average reader. A full price release using the original Edelweiss script would still be a train wreck of a release today. However, the overall translation accuracy isn't something a reader can generally tell, so that tends to have much less of an impact as long as the script reads well enough.

That said, most readers seem to be fine (or even prefer) if the comedy is over the top in a comedy VN judging by how Nekonyan's two comedic localizations have been broadly received, although if it done in a way that sufficiently distracts from the script it seems like it can backfire like it did for Chrono Clock..

>>21462423
>Commercially, the script quality matters, but only to the point where it becomes a problem to the average reader.
Does it though?
https://legendsoflocalization.com/sword-art-online-hollow-fragment-gallery/

>>21462451
Not sure why you are pointing that out, considering it was a SEA release and it was so bad that they did actually retranslated it when it was released for NA.

>>21462551
No it didn't. The PS4 port two years later got a new translations. The Vita version only exists in that garbage form.

>>21462575
Slightly touched-up garbage form. It's basically an edited version of the Asia version.

>>21459952
>VNTS has always gone against the grain

Nice way of saying being ineffectual whiny EOPs who are too lazy to learn Japanese.

>>21462423
Well, yes, there are exceptions in all cases. If a script's quality - whether good or bad - is abundantly clear to an average reader, then it is quite likely it's on the extreme spectrum; that is to say that it's extremely good or extremely bad. That being said I think you can get away with a 'bad' script in most cases, as its commercial viability is going to be more dependent on other factors. At least by comparison. Sekai's Hoshimemo is a good example of a script that was so bad it failed to escape notice from even the average reader, but then again I'm not so sure it was fully responsible for its commercial failure. ChronoClock was just as bad and it did well enough.

>>21459952
> It's been painfully clear for many years now that translation quality doesn't matter - the majority of the fanbase are ill-informed ESL morons from fuwanovel or ironic weebs that pick up on titles through popular e-celebs.
Is it normal for me to want them to die with every fiber of my being? Maybe that they all collapse and deserve nothing for being normalfags obsessed with shit quality? Accepting what they are given?

I don’t think you should compare this to CC or Hoshimeme. Yes, there’s a bunch of memes that were added when the original lines were normal. However, the game as a whole is still a memege at its core.

JAST being fast wtf

>>21463651
I'm curious to see when Totono gets released. It was announced last summer and is in QA now. Sweet Pool was also released less than a year after its announcement. It would be nice if they improved their speed.

>>21463681
I would be happy with 2-3 releases a year.

>>21463811
I'd be happy if them announcing something meant that it would actually be released in a reasonable timeframe.

>>21463681
>>21463811
Still no updates on Flowers 3, Machine Child, Princess X fandisc, Togainu no Chi, Dramatical Murder, Lamento Beyond the Void and Slow Damage since they were announced.

>>21463823
Yes I know that but like I said a few releases would be good. Even if it was not a huge novel
>>21463822
That is what I am saying. One in Spring another in Summer and a final one in Fall would be good.

>>21463993
>like I said a few releases would be good. Even if it was not a huge novel
I don't see how 2-3 releases a year is any different from what they usually do, in fact you're asking for them to be slower by asking for 2-3 releases a year.

>>21463823
Can't comment on Flowers or Princess X as I don't know anything about it. As for the others, the Nitro+Chiral games were all announced at the same time so I assumed they'd be going through them individually. There was a tweet about Togainu no Chi about a week ago so apparently that one is next, and Sweet Pool was released in December, so it's only been about six months really. Slow Damage and Machine Child are apparently not even released in Japanese from what I can tell? So I think those are a different situation entirely.

New announcement

>>21464175
Didn't this guy say that Subahibi was a masterpiece or something like that? Hard to believe his words. The game probably is NTR shit or smth like that.

>>21463379
I did not compare it to Hoshimemo or CC. I don't consider it is as bad. It's pretty bad in some regards, but Hoshimemo and CC are on other levels of horrible.

>>21464215
>Didn't this guy say that Subahibi was a masterpiece or something like that?
Anyone with good taste in VNs has said that.

>>21464168
>unlike no other
He's not giving people reason to be confident about the translation's quality.

>>21464256
God forbid someone make a common phrasal error in a tweet.

>>21464256
They have editors for that.

>>21464168
Why are they getting a guy who doesn't know Japanese to translate a Japanese game?

>>21464215
Moogy is full of shit and a hack but Subahibi is a masterpiece. How can you not see that? It's a league above the rest.

The last twenty nine things that group has described as being a unique must play were all IWBTG needle games or RPGMaker games from before 2010.

Okay but what about Hello Lady. I know you are here.

>>21464175
Garbage not worth playing confirmed.

>>21464215
I felt a bit miffed when Himawari turned out to be bad, but SubaHibi absolutely is a masterpiece.

>>21464915
>I felt a bit miffed when Himawari turned out to be bad
I don't think it was bad. Certain aspects were done very well, but there were a lot of things I had trouble relating to and certain parts of the story really got on my nerves. I enjoyed Island a lot more.

it's 2019 and people are still talking about moogy lol

>>21464956
i heard he's translating tokyo necro so I'm keeping an eye on him

>>21464997
It's Muramasa, not Tokyo Necro.

>>21464997
Stop with this fucking meme, moogy does not have any kind of attachment towards tokyo necro and he read it relatively recently. It's painfully obvious he's working on Muramasa.

>>21465010
I hope it gets announced this year.

>>21464915
>>21464950
I thought Himawari was a 7/10 but Island felt more like a 6/10 or even a 5/10. Guess I just don't like G.O. as a writer. He does some things extremely well, like humor, but I feel like he has absurdly bad pacing issues especially. Also, the dude can't into tone for shit.

>>21465034
I don't agree at all regarding Island. I don't want to argue about it, though. It seems like it's kind of a "love it or hate it" sort of game. I don't really understand why, though; the negative reaction some people had to it surprised me.

If it doesn't have ero then it isn't an eroge, retard.

>>21467196
Ecchi would be considered eroge, it'd just be softcore ero.

>>21467213
It's literally not eroge since there is no porn.

>>21467234
I'd consider excessive bare boob fondling to be softcore porn, especially when the nipples are shown.

>>21465334
I noticed some(?) anon(s) talk shits about Summer Pockets and was initially held back abit, but after looking at this comment I went back to amazon and pre-ordered the switch copy of the game.
I was so stupid. I should have done better than trusting a random anon on 4chan over both Key and moe gameaward.

>>21453121
>Amagami - "Script translation done. 699/2329 original edition scenario scripts edited (30%)"
Judging from my few and intermittent visits to this thread, this editing moves at a pace of 0.5% per month. Anyone know if there's a reason in particular for it or just small team + little time?

>>21468351
They have no editor.

>>21467213
An eroge without ero would probably just be called a galge. Unless it revolves around dudes.

MG put up a hard copy for Evenicle to make sure they have it going on sale during AX.

>圧倒的な物量の前には、所詮精神論など焼け石に水なのですよ
Translating an early-00's VN, and 2 years of Japanese is doing shit for helping me figure out the above proverb. Any ideas?

I kinda expected them to include EveRance with it, but oh well the fanTL is good enough.

>>21473111
I doubt they even went back and did the Evenicle Alice Mansion, with a bunch of bonus stories and a bonus H-scene.

>>21475447

Chuee didn't work on SukiSuki or ""Plain"" Autism.

Translating アウトロー (outlaw) as "outro sequence" is pretty impressive.

>>21475346
>>21475834
You know, I feel relieved when I know NN targets the casual audience. In no way a botched translation filled with reddit-tier memes would be accepted here. Good thing there're a few peeps out there like Tripli who appear out of nowhere to deliver an actually decent tl.

>>21476004
>In no way a botched translation filled with reddit-tier memes would be accepted here
Not like it matters.

>>21475834
I don't understand how someone could even come to that conclusion. That sentence makes no fucking sense.

>>21475834
>>21475346
This is just plain bad. Of course there is a lack of effort.

>>21463823
Lamento has no work done on it yet as the translator is finishing off other projects first and then taking a vacation at the end of June. I don't blame her; Lamento is long as fuck.

>>21468351

As the person who runs it, I do want to explain myself and apologize for the lack of updates. A lot of the blame for the initial editing stalls were on me trying to figure out how to best release the translation. As translation was going on at the time, I made the choice where I would have multiple people translate per route but then tie it together with one editor in the end to make it more consistent.

But pinning it on the one editor I had was unfair and unrealistic and after giving it more thought as progress stalled, I decided we had to have multiple editors work on it to deliver it timely and so we made the next best effort with trying to get everyone to follow a style manual and edit that way which is the next best option I currently have. I have now around 3 people and inducting a 4th one this weekend, but it seems to be already paying dividends on speed. If we don't finish this year, hopefully we'll be done by next year. Yeah I know I missed the 10th anniversary of the game coming out but hopefully not going to miss the anniversary of the anime coming out.

Lamia got a release date and pre-order

>>21478504
Thanks for the explanation. Well, I've been waiting so long, so what's one or two more years I guess.

>>21478504
Thank you for the explanation, it's nice to hear directly from the source, and good luck.

Number of games in progress with even a single loli main heroine by company:
MG: 1 (4.3% of titles) - Amatarasu
JAST: 2 (14.3%) - Sumaga, Princess X FD
SP: 4 (12.5%) - Sanarara, Tenshin Ranman, Hoshimemo FD, Nanairo
SolP: 3 (33%) - Yotsunoha, Irotoridori, OniKiss
Nekonyan: 0 (0%) - jack shit

Are MG and Nekonyan just the worst companies?

>>21481369
I used to like MG best but they kinda suck as much as the rest as of late.
Sol Press picks up better stuff but it seems they struggle to release anything.
The tier list right nowi would be:
Very bad: MG, Sol Press(?)
Terrible: Jast, NN
Unforgivable: Sekai
Sol Press could move up to Bad if they get their shit together. MG Used to be in Bad but has moved down to Very Bad. A solid release for Sona-Nyl might change my mind

>>21481369
Rance has lolis.

>>21481369
Nekonyan has Senren＊Banka, so that's 1 loli.

>>21481593

She's too big.

>>21481559
And so does Baldr Sky, Nukitashi and Escalayer. There's probably even more that he missed.

>>21481369
>Are MG and Nekonyan just the worst companies?
MG is still good to me. As long as they do not fuck up the major titles like Maggot Baits and Higurashi i really do not care. NN is just too meme tier and does not even seem to try to be good.

>>21481559
I said main heroine.
>>21481815
Baldr Sky doesn't have one. Escalayer is called Escalayer for a reason, the robot has like 2% of the H-scenes. Nukitashi is the only one I'm willing to add. Other than that, I went through all the CG galleries to make proper judgement.

>>21481856
>I said main heroine.
??????????

>>21481860
Rance fucks her only after she grows up. Story character does not mean conquerable heroine.

>>21481856
>I said main heroine.
Good thing that Crook is a central heroine of both Quest and X then.
>Baldr Sky doesn't have one.
So, Makoto calling me a ロリコン was all a fluke? Damn, I've been living my life the wrong way all that time.
>Escalayer is called Escalayer for a reason, the robot has like 2% of the H-scenes
And also has lots of screentime, a route and appears in the OP in the same style as thousands of other main heroines in different eroge OPs. Then number of h-scenes doesn't matter. Or what, are you perhaps under some silly misconception that Escalayer is a nukige and not a moege?
>Nukitashi is the only one I'm willing to add.
Wow, thanks for your kind judgement, all-knowing stranger.
>I went through all the CG galleries
sasuga EOP

>>21481946
>Good thing that Crook is a central heroine of both Quest and X then.
Not a loli. You might as well call Kino a loli.
>So, Makoto calling me a ロリコン was all a fluke? Damn, I've been living my life the wrong way all that time.
1. Japanese usage of the word lolicon is different from western, but you surely must know this if you know Japanese. Kind of like pedophile is used over here by retards when speaking about people who lust over 16 year olds.
2. Not a main heroine

Yes, I am under the misconception that a nukige is a nukige. A nukige which is called after one heroine who is the focus of absolute majority of the H-scenes. She's the sole main heroine.
>sasuga EOP
Going through the galleries shows me the body as the artist intended it to look. It shows me the face, height, bare breast size, and the leg length of the heroine. Also, it allows me to compare the number of CGs between characters.

>>21482014
>2. Not a main heroine
Damn, is this true, bros? Seems like I was living my life the VERY wrong way.

>>21482094
She's just a secondary observer, senpai, totally an unimportant role. Her route being a unique one since the prologue chapter also makes her just a side character. You better listen to this guy, he actually knows stuff.

>>21483151
Damn, that would explain why I couldn't fap to her h-scenes at all. She is just some UNIMPORTANT LITERAL WHO and my dick can only get hard at PLOT CENTRIC BIG SHOTS. Time to e-mail Team Baldrhead and ask them to turn pic related into a reality so I can finally assfuck Neu... I mean, Gregory.
>>21482014
Thank you, my all-knowing EOP friend. You opened my eyes.

>>21474477
I like this girl. Though, I wonder if she would re-translate/re-edit the first Flowers for free. Jast rushed her for some damn reason even though they are known for being slow as hell.

What happened to the JAST updates on tumblr? Did timdesu quit?

Do people still use Tumblr anymore after all they started banning porn?
>>21484075
The announcement that will make everyone lose their shit is coming next month, though.

>>21485080
>Do people still use Tumblr anymore after all they started banning porn?
Some still do, but a lot of people moved to twitter and somehow made twitter even fucking worst then what it already was.

>>21485080
>Do people still use Tumblr anymore after all they started banning porn?
Rattanman does. And speaking of which he apparently released part two of his TA0 patch.

NekoNyan updated their projects

Aokana is their next release and is 95% Translated and 70% Edited
Making Lovers is 40% Translated and 40% Edited
Senren Banka is 25% Translated 25% Edited

>>21487597
Guess I'll finally see what the big deal about Aokana is. I know adaptations suck but the premise still seemed boring from the anime.

>>21487656
It's overrated. It has one good route and one okay route, the rest isn't very good.

>>21487656
I'm expecting it to be censored in really dumb ways due to Sprite being a shitty company in general and the fact they're working alongside sakuragame or whoever has the licensing rights for the chinese/english release. I'll probably just skip it like I did with Maitetsu.

>>21487855
NN is releasing it i thought

>>21487986
yeah but NN is working in collaboration with Sakuragame and Sprite, both of which are pretty shitty companies from a consumer standpoint so i'm expecting another Maitetsu fiasco.

>>21488044
They're working with Hikari Field, not Sakuragame.

>>21488054
Oh right my mistake, they're both pretty terrible though.

>>21481847
MG still good? Are you exclusively only read moege + lgbtq novels?

Can you look at the OP how much theirs VN in BETA? cannot wait to buy my Rance Collection featuring 7-X in 2030. FUCK MANGAGAMER

>>21491555
What do you want them to do? Rush everything even more?

>>21491567
There's a difference between rushing and putting more than one slave on it. The time between the translation of VI and SR is longer than the time between the development of the two games.

>>21491592
Can they even afford that?

>>21491602
how does anyone make any money in the western VN market

>>21491697
I have no idea honestly. But that's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear people complain about how things take too long; i.e., is the company even financially capable of doing things more quickly? I also wonder if the people who complain actually buy anything.

>>21491555
>in 2030
You remind me of entitled majitards with their exact same complaints. Just learn Japanese, faggot.

>>21491739
I bought Haruka 3.5 years ago to get Quest with nothing to show for it. Fuck you.

>>21491750
Good goy. Now buy Escalayer too, or no more Rance for you. It's pretty good moege.

>>21491567
If they want to do it, then do it alright and in timely manner.
Just drop it and give it to fan, if they cannot do it rather than delay the release without deadline.

I'm also do as project manager & business analyst in software company too, there are reason why all the project need : time, resources and budget planned well before kick off the project.

I don't know what happen at that localization VN company but something clearly is not right
- JAST: Fucked all Nitro+ translation project
- Sekai: GIGA
- Manga: Alicesoft

If Sekai didn't fuck Aroduc three years ago, maybe we already read Baldr, Bunny Black 3 and even Amayui Castle Meister in english.

>>21491750
I bet you are the kind of person that also believed in Jast's "Support JAST USA's official localization of Nitro+ games" effort and that it would meant they would quickly bring across lots of their titles.

>>21491873
Your software company is likely capable of hiring full-time professionals, rather than relying on amateurs.

>>21491873
>I'm also do as project manager & business analyst in software company too
Then you must also realise how dumb it would be to drop a project you have paid license fees for. Ideally they shouldn't pick them up in the first place if they don't have the resources, but we have seen companies snipe projects from each other so I can see why they try to reserve certain titles even if they aren't ready for them.

>>21492300
Thread up with the updates for this week.

>>21491555
Is this what its like to be Europoor and a retarded Autist?

>>21493068
At least he doesn't bump dead threads.

>>21481369
NN is just what's needed although mainstream, others keep re-relasing old stuff or making translations, that already exists as fan tl's. (Thanks anon in last thread for replying to Yuzusoft question.)
