What the hell happens with these projects

>>46992231
Not sure about the first one, but the latter had an MTL scandal which I think made them go back and re translate it by hand. But they never reset the progress count for some reason, so who knows if we'll ever see it or how far along it actually is. The whole thing was really fucking shady from the get-go.

Sukimazakura to Uso no Machi - Translation 100% complete TLC, editing, QA, image editing left

>>46992231
>Is this really forever locked behind patreon? its been 2 years man
They guy got outed for using MTL like a year ago.

>>46991830
>Aiyoku No Eustia - In progress 100% TL patch leaked, project to continue, 100% Translated/edited/TLC
How has this been getting "QC'd" for over a year? I genuinely can't even imagine what these people are doing. I get that people have lives/jobs/etcetc but it feels like these people probably dont even put a single hour/week into the project at the rate it's going.

>>46993682
The speculation was that they were trying to shop it around. But then it got leaked because I guess someone got impatient and I imagine that killed the team's interest in finishing whatever editing there was left (which they said that there was).

>>46993682
trying to sell it like kusarihime and possibly tsui no sora remake

>>46993719
is eustia even worth reading in its current form?

i really wanted to read it, but i also don't want to read something 1 tier above MTL slop

>>46993985
From what I understand the translation is actually completely finished and edited. I saw some complaints that there were text box issues with the leaked version, but others said it was completely fine so I'm not sure. After the leak came out the translators backpedaled and said that was actually "an older version" but considering they had said it was already done and edited for a whole year at that point, I think they're just lying.

>>46993719
>>46993753
I think this is probably right. They do have a document where they're tracking the QC, but it's been moving at such a snail's pace I find it hard to believe any real work is being done.

https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=2AA0C152F3ABC311!169&ithint=file%2cxlsx&authkey=!AMiZoMMtMwT6WaI

I think the last 3 green bars is all they've done since last Novembver or so.

Selling out again?

>>46994250
From reading this, selling out but with a catch.

It's making it sound like there's something like a publisher, but if the publisher stalls too long they will simply release it this September.

There's a mention of leaning onto Patreon.

Also, Reminiscence translation? very interesting.
Seems like that was what he was doing while being on hold.


While honestly, while i like free translation patches... if not that then i'd prefer this translation group being funded rather than fading away.

>>46994681
>i'd prefer this translation group being funded rather than fading away
they are a bunch of retards and their translation are literally edited mtl tier (possibly literally). if you're so desperate just learn japanese.

>>46994733
Nah, not that desperate.
If i was then this would be the last place i'd look at.

Having high standards for translation quality on VNs of all things is what i'd find desperate.

>>46994754
you're talking about funding a bunch of clowns, sounds desperate enough to me.

>>46994775
Never said i'd be the one doing the funding.
I just know that some like will.

If someone doesn't translate a VN and convey their meaning as you prefer.
Then people should indeed follow your own tips, "Just learn Japanese"

Feeling as if Shiravune has been seemingly on a slow pace recently, used to release crap left and right.

>>46994908
They're on track for their strongest year yet in terms of release numbers.

>>46994908
they gotta build the hype for amakano. i'm afraid to say shira is now unstoppable, also thanks their rivals releasing nothing at all.

>>46994935
Oh hang on i have indeed been wrong, i assumed they mostly did Fandiscs recently.
>>46994938
Hold up, Amakano?
Where is this news coming from?
I am aware that there were some MTL stuff from the Amakano 2 and 2+ out but Shirvaune is going to do the series?

>>46994975

>>46994935
I just want a new loli route to read, is that so hard to get

>>46994997
Oh damn, that says something alright.

JAST announcement https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/1797353457713639562

>>46995159
>chinese vn
>joe castleton

>>46995159
another garbage no one cares about
is this supposed to save industry from shira? lol

>>46995159
Jesus what are JAST and MG even doing, not even trying any more.

>>46995182
>>46996795
According to VNDB it has a Studio Zizz soundtrack and a song by Itou Kanako so I can see why they would be interested in publishing it. Doesn't look like some random crap game.

>>46995159
Looks like it might be ok. I know there are a lot of oldschool eroge fans in China so this type of project that's essentially fanwanking old nitroplus is unsurprising.

>>46996823
>Studio Zizz soundtrack and a song by Itou Kanako
they both done ost for random kusoge before

>>46996823
Could always go for the real deal rather than some off shoot stuff but this is how JAST rolls now.

>>46994250
Not Sekai because they already tried that in 2019 and it ended terribly.
Doubt it's MG since they're pretty much a walking corpse.
Not NN since they've said they're not working with Akabei again.
That leaves JAST or Shiravune.

>>46995159
>>46996795
I don't even care i mean JAST finally delivered with Sisters so i will forgive them for this bullshit

>>46999289

>>46999361
It's not a random nukige though, it's a fully animated legendary title. It's been a long time since i've been hyped for a nukige anon

>>46999415
All of the h-scenes have been translated for like a decade.

>>46999415
>legendary title
???
never heard about this shit before

>>46999514
thats cuz will smith wipes your memories every time you hear about it

>>46999511
There is more than h-scenes, the title have a nice mood with some mystery and drama

>>46999514
You are just a newfag and that's ok but lurk more

>As things stood until December last year, we had planned a full trilogy release for September 2024. However, unforeseen circumstances will push this date exactly one year to September 2025 as the LIMIT for us to release the full trilogy. I am not under any liberty to disclose more information regarding this matter, but you can get an idea of what this could mean.

I guess that they sold it to Shilavune or NekeMemelations.

>>46994935
If their parent branch (DDL) stole money someone has to pay the consequences.

>>47002255
Think you misread almost everything, anon. Impressive.

>>46993985
It has some QC oversights but genuinely less than most "finished" releases, including official TLs.

>>46997569
This is odd because this does seem like a Shiravune pickup and it would make sense for it to be them. If it is MangaGamer I would be shocked and happy. I do not know if JAST would get a title like this.

>>47000688
It was a big title over a decade ago as far as nukige goes. It's basically a 100% animated VN. Probably one of the last few of its kind that isn't done via an e-mote system now a days, actually.

>>46992266
>>46992627
MTL was never proven you faggot liars
only evidence was how fast he translated the 2 vinnies
that's not proof!
>>46994250 these niggers use MTL though

worse than the old yandere patch
wouldn't bother with the project since they won't rewrite everything

.... How fucking long has it been now? Might as well not translate it if it's this slow, see you guys in 2035

>>46995159
This is to appease the Chinese audience. Not surprising.
>>46996795
What did MG do?

>>47006959
It'll probably break 4 digits soon. JAST has a bright, uncompressed, HD, uncensored future in store.
If only >>46995159 was swapped for one of >>46997466 or anything else, then things would've been truly swell.

>>47008426
>What did MG do?
They're doing nothing, that's the point.

>>47008670
>It'll probably break 4 digits soon.
No way. It's a 5 hour VN, the people will just fap and move on. No sticking power.

>>47008974
It's precisely because it's a 5 hour VN with nothing to it beyond fapping that it will have staying power because, as it happens, everyone wants to fap and do so without any excesses involved, much in the same way 12 thousand odd players were gung ho about 'winter memories'; so too are they for sisters.
There's no sticking power more magnetizing than primeval lust, anon, and this game as far as steam is concerned, does a good job in relieving that end.

>>47009129
Winter memories peaked on the first day, just like sisters most likely will.

Shiravune doing the Sekai thing by releasing 2 titles on the same day.

>>47005387
>that's not proof!
It's absolutely proof because there's no way he translated an 800k character VN in two months while also reading and reviewing three other VNs at the same time. I've seen people throw out the theory that the reason the "editing" is taking so long is because he's actually translating it from scratch for real this time since he got called out but we'll see

>>47020126
>I've seen people throw out the theory that the reason the "editing" is taking so long is because he's actually translating it from scratch for real this time since he got called out
that is 100% my theory. Those faggots used to post really obnoxious, over-the-top updates in the TL status mirror on reddit, there's no way that wasn't being done to overcompensate.

>>47019790
They win by default.

Any feedback on Biniku no Kaori translation quality?

>>47026731
If you want to read the game then go read it. That's definitely the only TL of it that you'll ever get.

>>47026752
I'm just wondering if i go with the TL or if i use my own MTL tools to read it because i can manage some moon runes. It's just that if the english TL is good enough i want to go with it.

>>47026731
It's fine. A bit too literal in some places when the game plays with the inherit vagueness of Japanese, but I haven't encountered any major blunder.

>>47026574
Kiriya said on /vn/ a month or so ago that they'll most likely be at Otakon since AX is too much trouble.

>>47022555
Yes champ, everyone is a winner. ...autism

>>47027047
AX is probably too expensive for NN since its the biggest con, and you got to fight with the big guys (Sony, SEGA, etc) for the spots.

>>47029238
It really can't be that overwhelmingly expensive if MG is hosting three panels.

News on Ragnorak Kickstarter.

Stretch Goal Calculation Information
In the FAQ, we wrote that the Stretch Goal Calculations will end as soon as the Kickstarter period ends.

However, after much consideration, we have decided to extend the period to 1 month past when the Kickstarter ends. The Pre-order store will likely go up within the first week or 2 after the Kickstarter ends, so any early purchases made within this extra calculation period will still go towards any Stretch Goals we have not met.
