And Caucasus sounds pretty nifty.

>Ok so the bottom line for this eroge is this. If you’re not going to slug through replays to complete the eroge, then don’t even start. It’s not close to even averagely easy and leaving this halfway through is absolutely pointless. Coupled with the fact that it has gore and rape among other things, it’s best you are prepared for it before you play. There is also the huge pain of trying to trip flags throughout the entire game just to get that one ending. This certainly isn’t an eroge for everyone, but it’s pretty damned good for those who can accept it.

>The Kara no Shoujo guys are considering doing Caucasus next

I really hope they do it.

Well, they're slowly coming along I guess... ;_;

>>4857576
That's an odd complaint. What kind of eroge doesn't require multiple play-thrus?

TL dude said on IRC he probably won't to caucasus, he completed one route and didn't like it much.

>>4857583
About G-Senjou no Maou, TNA has actively been doing TLC on it, despite translation and edited not going up.

>>4857590
I think the point is that Caucasus is needlessly frustrating to play.
>>4857593
What the hell, he didn't say that. He said that nothing has been decided yet.

Does someone have the real VA list for Majikoi?

I'm certain I remember the oldest girl being Yuu Asakawa and the blond(?) girl being Shizuka Ito

Why?

>>4857659
Gameplay sells.
>>4857650
Extra and Unlimited aren't that great. Alternative on the other hand is fucking awesome.

>>4857650
Muvluv Extra is Wind tier.

>>4857650
Extra is standard love comedy/ slice of life.
I'm currently unable to think of a proper description for Unlimited.
Alternative is the super amazing part, which will inevitably get trolled to death when released.

>>4857668
No it's not, faggot.

>>4857650

Muv Lov is about average. Unlimited though is one of the best VNs period.

>>4857659
Saya

>>4857680 Unlimited

I mean Alternative, my mistake.

>>4857677
Oh, hit a nerve? Seriously, Extra is not good. Don't get your hopes up. The patch will disappoint you in terms of story.

Although it's great to see progress on Kara no Shoujo, Big Bang Age, and Air.

>>4857690
There are far worse VN's than Extra. Also luckily, I enjoyed Wind.

>>4857690
I played it, unlike you.
Extra is very entertaining, it doesn't do anything new but it makes you spend a good times with some good humor and great characters.

To compare it with Wind is a fucking travesty and show you never touched it.
And they are completely different anyways.

>>4857660
>>4857672
>>4857686
Is it really that great? Starting to get a bit excited about its impending translation, now!

>>4857724
It is on top of the EGS chart, and fully deserves that rating.

>>4857716
Actually, I have played it, at least Sumika and Meiya's paths. Physics Teacher's random wild antics drove the story almost completely, and were pretty much complete non-sequiturs. Add in a side order of ridiculously cliched childhood promise story vs childhood friend and you get an entirely average VN. Just like Wind.

>>4857724
It's going to be great, until it generates enough fanboys just like current Type-Moon.

>>4857757
Not enough powerlevel.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- A messy snapshot patch released. Project 34.1% translated

Stop taunting me.

Current EGS top

>>4857757
Why are the All-Ages version pilot suits so much better than the normal version? I mean, sure the normal ones are like "Oh, wow it's like they're wearing nothing at all", but they still don't look as nice as the All-Ages version.

>>4857755
Extra however, has coherent main plot in which some of the early wacky scenes can be explainable due to the characters' situation (and protag's refusal to grow up).

Meanwhile Wind is just randum, with stuffs coming out of nowhere and not explained well/entertaining at best.

>>4857784
The blue/black version are when they graduate.
The skin color version is when they are still students, it's partly to make them forget their shame, to become less self-conscious since they are soldiers basically.

I don't know where you heard that these suits were made for the all ages version.

Actually I thought most Muv Luv characters were pretty meh. It's one of the biggest flaws of the game I thought. Well, there are a ton of other stuff that stopped me from liking it too but that's probably the biggest.

Extra is better than Wind though because it's at least funny for a little while. After a quarter way through the game the humor gets old and stale and crappy and what not but at least it's enjoyable for a decent portion.

>>4857649
I think you're doing it wrong, HgameZ isn't the one wanting to release the game in English.

>>4857797
My mistake, I keep confusing the blue/black one with something else entirely.

>>4857698
;_; Fucking yaoi fans. They're worthless.

>>4857797
Some anon from older thread said the transparent suit was meant to prevent the pilots from getting cocky, just because they can ride huge mechs and all. That's quite a contrast with what you said.

>>4857829
Actually, it's pretty much the same thing.

What >>485780 said is directly stated in the game, so yeah.

>>4857581
I wish they would do Cartagra instead.

The link to the translator website shows nothing indicating a translation.

And my hopes were so high ._.

>>4857910
Dote up a cat is being done by a translator at Iko-Subs, and an editor in Enter The Wired

>>4857890
>>4857904
Interesting tidbits: sca-ji writes and illustrates his eroge at commercial level. Subarashiki Hibi can be considered his magnum opus.

>>4857954
I think the astonishment/confusion is due to the image, not the discussion.

>>4857910
As far as I can see the “Dote Up a Cat” entry is incorrect. It links to http://www.enterthewired.org/ team whom are responsible for the Air translation and Kanon PSP port. Nothing on their page or forums indicates they are working on a translation of “Dote Up a Cat”.

I did however find a .swf file of a translated opening for the game posted by someone named Cyber Akuma on the swfchan.net achieve and some limited conversation which may or may not indicate a translation.

Links:

All the information I have on Dote up a Cat has been from IRC.

>>4857954
sca-ji, so good.

A quick question, about how long does it take you to prepare your weekly post, Translation Status Anon?

To go back to Alternative, personally I liked it a lot but I pretty much consider it the same as a blockbuster movie.

It's very entertaining, even "epic" at times, the production are godlike, the plot is good and full of twists.
It just make you spend a great time.

But it lacks impact, at least for me, while it make a great movie/anime it doesn't really make a great novel.

>>4858025
To a fair extend, I agree with you.

>>4858025
I dunno man, it may just be me, but I've always found well written prose to have a much greater impact than any movie.

>>4858013
seconding this. I'm curious about it as well.

>>4857988
The only english screenshot posted under the "Dote Up the Cat" english entry (http://s.vndb.org/sf/65/9465.jpg)) was added on the 24/06/09 by a user named jonhmaster, which is quite a few months ago.

>* Topic is ' "Air" translation project SEEKING TRANSLATORS! "Dote up a Cat" Translation project IRC'

It has since been changed to
>Air Translation project IRC chan Current Status: 55%'
with the following justification for changing it as moving it to one of the iko-subs channels. Also upon asking, I was told, Aeka (also known as Lunch Box) is an editor, and one of the translators from iko-subs is translating it, and making decent progress on it.

>>4858179

>>Dote up a cat- Being translated
FUCK YEAR
This is one of the first eroge I stumbled across, so I would really love to play it translated.

I always wondered, how come no official companies do AliceSoft games? Seems like they would actually make money on just one or two.

Does AliceSoft not allow it or something with too much rape for US laws or something?

>>4858919
Licensing fees up the ass perhaps?

>>4858944
This.

>>4858944
>>4858952
hmm, it might be expensive but it seems like they might actually sell. I have a hard time believing more than 5 people buy any of their other games.

>>4858919
I'm pretty sure the US doesn't have any laws saying you can only have X number of rape scenes in an eroge.

>>4858970
Have NIS America localize it, get shoddy translations.

>>4859008
On an unrelated note, the localization effort for Sakura Wars 5 is actually decent.

In theory MangaGamer, Jast (or some future company) might make a deal with Alice Soft, however until recently the only modern company was Jast, and until they got the Nitro+ deal they brought over games they could get for cheap. MangaGamer is getting a number of deals, however I doubt that they would quickly go for another big deal if they do negotiate a deal with Key, and Jast releases stuff slowly enough that Nitro+ is the only big deal they would need for half a decade.

>>4859056
I think you mean until 2050, not half a decade.

>>4859043
It helps that the game takes place in America.

No, I'm not making this up. Its a cute cherry intro..... but a ridiculously sad and depressing game.

>Lamia no Baai - ~10% translated, first bad end finished

Which bad end? You get eaten?

>>4860704
Its actually not really a bad end, its more of a nonstandard end. Lamia says she wants you to leave with her and get married and become part of her clan, and you IMMEDIATELY agree and go to live with her, instead of hanging around for a while and stuff.

I think the bad ending after that one is when she forces you back with her and turns you into her sex slave.

I don't consider that one a bad end either if you know what I mean

>>4860768
So that's like an instant happy end?

>>4860768
>>4860787
Wait, so there isn't really a bad end? It's more like true end/normal end/fap end?
This is the next eroge I'm playing.

Also, when does Eruru game come out? I'm looking forward to that one more, I think.

The monster girl games don't really have separate endings they're just 'dead ends' that you come upon after selecting the wrong choice. They're extremely short so they're hard to call actual 'endings' but after each one the girl gives you a lecture on what you did wrong.

>>4860815
Well, there are other ends that are bad, its just the first one isn't.

>>4860852
Oh. Well, whatever.
Any idea on how long the script is? Whether or not the translator wants (time permitting) assistance?

Just because the project has been started, doesn't mean it will be finished. I doubt they'll even make good progress on it, just like Gore Screaming Show and a few other popular eroge.

>>4862477
I know theres russians here, come on translate it to english!

>>4862226
Is Pure Pure a purely one man team??
Progress is so slow. ;_;

>>4862425
> Is Baldr Sky actually being translated? I haven't seen anything posted about it in aaaaaaages.

Strato is the guy working on it, but he has been generally quiet about it (after his initial posting on gemot). There is little reason to believe that he is not working on it since about a month ago I got confirmation from him that he was working on it, he is a good translator who has done a number of projects in the past, and the engine was hacked so that he could work on it months ago.

>>4862505
What he translated?

>>4862498
Isn't Comrade General a Russian dude? Ask him about it.

>>4862492

Where's my Killer Queen eng patch? :/

>>4862513
I don't have progress, and I'm not going to bug him since if he wanted to give progress reports, he would have done so already. Timeline though of what I have seen.

End of November/Beginning of December - He posted on gemot about his interest in translating the game
Shortly thereafter, Zalas began hacking
Late January - Zalas hacked the engine for Baldr Sky and Majikoi, focusing on Baldr Sky first since TakaJun was doing Swan Song
Beginning of March - I got confirmation from him that he was working on Baldr Sky

>>4862547
No edit.

>>4862552
No, I mean, what other projects he worked on?

>>4862513
Strato is the one man army of a.f.k.

In case you don't know, a.f.k. always makes the best translations (in whatever anime it subs) but fucking suck with their video quality.

It's impossible to fuck up a Visual Novel's images unless you really suck.

>>4862577
Tell him to gb2/a/.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- A messy snapshot patch released. Project 34.1% translated

ONE PERCENT WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

>>4862570
>No, I mean, what other projects he worked on?

Oh
He is the A.F.K. translator, and worked on the Haruhi light novels as well.

>>4862547
You have to wait with that until it's edited and TLC'd as they are kinda shaky right now.

>>4862582
He doesn't go on 4chan. He waits on his private irc channel never coming out.

>>4862552
You forgot where someone questioned his commitment on Gemot, and he posted his screenshot with hundreds of hours logged playing Baldr.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- A messy snapshot patch released. Project 34.1% translated

Have that screenshot?

Thanks.

It is doubtful that Air will ever see a 100% fan translation get released, assuming MangaGamer and Key create a partnership then Air would likely be their first title.

>>4862766
That'll be for the better if so - we can probably get a full translation in within a year instead of who knows how long it'll take for the fan translation to finish.

>>4862928
IMO waiting is better than MG's QUALITY.

>>4863315
Actually, MG's recent translations have been quite good. I guess we'll see if that holds up with rest of Higurashi Kai and Curtain Call.

When was the last time you played one of their games? only their first games were complete trash.

>>4862577
>In case you don't know, a.f.k. always makes the best translations
Eh, they're good, but really, really literal. To the point where, imho, it starts making things sound a bit "off" and whatnot.

>>4863324
Uh, well, I played Maekashi, Eiden Fantasia and Soul Link. All had really good translations.

>>4863326
Don't know about literal, but I really like a.f.k's translations. Too bad they are so slow though

>>4863324
Last one I played was Shuffle!, I think.

A MangaGamer translator posted a couple old vs new comparisons of their ongoing redone Edelweiss translation a few days ago.

//He seems like he was annoyed.
Sempai sounded really annoyed as he lit his cigarette. He inhaled deeply, and breathed out the smoke.

or

Rei:"No way! They ate my panties!! They’re perverts!"
//Kazushi:"We didn't eat them!"
Kazushi: “Hang on, we didn’t eat them! Who the hell would eat panties?!”
//Rei:"What!? That's exactly what you did!"
Rei: “Hah! That’s exactly what you did! I can’t believe we’re so unfortunate to be in the same class as these things.”
Fusen:"Doesn't it smell bad around here? I need to disinfect it."
//Husen sprays odor-eater on us.
Fusen pulled out a bottle of perfume and started spraying the air around us.
//Kazushi:"What is this!?"
Kazushi: “Uwah! This reeks! What is it?!”
//Husen:"This is an expensive perfume."
Fusen: “Hah! Commoner! How can you say that Dior’s Poison reeks?!”
//Kazushi:"Smells like poison!"
Kazushi: “Oh, so it is poison! Are you some kind of wrestling heel now?!” *Cough cough cough!*

>>4863540
...Oh wow.

>>4863540
Opps, I wronged him

>Baldr Force EXE- Total (lines) 1516/26654 (5.69%)

It has been way too long since this has been updated.

>>4863540
How is it even translating the same lines?

>>4864871
I don't know if you read it, but when you could hear the voices it was veyr common for the voices to continue for seemingly a whole sentence or more than what was actually translated.
That and the actual translation was horrible to the point were some of it barely shouldn't even be called english.

>>4863540
>A MangaGamer translator posted a couple old vs new comparisons of their ongoing redone Edelweiss translation a few days ago.
Where did he post this?

>Ongoing
So they are retranslating it again?
I heard that they did something like that in the past, but from what I heard it barely changed anything, so is this something new?

>>4864967
Yeah, announced probably a month ago, last update is they just pasted the flower incident.

>>4864947
>I don't know if you read it, but when you could hear the voices it was veyr common for the voices to continue for seemingly a whole sentence or more than what was actually translated.

There were some lines where they talked for two or three sentences, and the line in English was one or two words.

>>4864973
That's awesome.
I actually liked Edelweiss quite much, but it truly was a chore to read, and in the end it felt like I had to translate it myself as I was reading it.
It actually went a lot smoother to read the original together with agth and my understanding of japanese.

And while I do have a somewhat good understanding of japanese and while it can be fun to translate stuff from time to time, it isn't really what I am looking for when I want to have a relaxed reading time.

So this means that we will finally get edelweiss?
That first release doesn't even count.

It is nice to see how big h-game fan translations have grown.

Kind of wish Manga Gamer or someone would convert popular anime VN titles from PS2 (and others) to PC versions so I could buy those.

Of course that is assuming they are relatively interesting. Ai Yori Aoshi from Jast wasn't exactly interesting with its linearity and lack of events.

Aren't you content with testing the game? Why do you have to flaunt us?

>>4867587
Muv-Luv Extra isn't much to be jealous of.

>>4867587
ok, sorry. But i did more than just test it. You better like it bitch.

>>4867604
Exactly. I think I'll just read the summaries of Muv-Luv Extra/Unlimited and play Alternative when that finally gets translated in a year or so.

>>4867612
I like MuvLuv but I think that I hate you.

I'd like to see Natsuiro Penguin translated, if not for any other reasons just for the yandere idol kouhai.

>>4867612
I'm looking forward to it when Alternative finally gets translated so that I can marathon the whole thing, so thanks!

>>4867666
I heard the game was so buggy (in terms of scripting) it had stuff like the 裸 tachie appearing randomly even though it had nothing to do with what was happening in the game.

Sounds hilarious but not quite hilarious enough to actually bother playing it

age

Is anyone still bothering to check on Witch-Hunt?

>>4866648

why do you call all other games by their proper names and just this one by it its subtitle?

>>4869007
Because Big Bang Age is easier to remember.

It's time now to remove the BALDR games from the list as it should have become clear that they are nothing else than troll poroyeko

>>4869055
Sky is still being translated, Force is on a break for an undetermined amount of time.

>>4869077

>>4871084
I LOVE those bodysuits. One of the hottest designs ever.

>>4871084
Shittiest girl in the series. However she has one of the best scenes in the series.

I would love Sumika tenderly ;_;

Sumika is like the only good heroine, what are you talking about. (Meiya kind of sucks but she's a step above the rest I guess)

Kasumi is the best but I don't know if she counts

I like Ayamine.

She reminds me of Katawa Shoujo's Rin, but more confrontational. Also fucking troll.

I like Ayamine sarcastic humor.
Also Tama is awesome.

>>4871177
Nice butt.

I would pet Tama.

Too bad her Extra route is pure trash.

And yet no one is working on Katahane.

Okay, correction. Yaoi fangirls translate better visual novels than yuri fanboys.

These will both go a lot faster once I get my ass in gear and upload the half-edited scripts sitting on my computer to the wiki (same with Osadai). But don't worry guys, I am BACK! ...almost.

about time!

>>4873266
Oh wow, I didn't even remember you were part of KnS team.

>>4873283
Yeah, I'm the QCer. Rest of the team was working on hacking and image editing before so I haven't had a whole lot to do, except TL check the bits of the script I'd already read, but the wiki update yesterday said "Image editing is "done", meaning that all of the images and menus are in English now but there's bound to be problems with some of them. QC phase is next."

Which means it be work tiem now for me.

We normally never fill these threads up, yet here we are with one filled up, on a monday.

>>4874097
Several translations projects are start to culminate, with more and more seemingly on the rise. People getting quite excited, ends up posting more posts.

>>4874097

At least a third of the posts were from Muv Luv devs posting to show off that they have access to what Ixrec has translated.
