SUPERB.

Also, I feel sort of overwhelmed with getting both Curtain Call, and ef at the same time.

Still looking for Yosuga no Sora manga.

More than 6% of Umineko 6 is actually translated... apparently it's very hard to say how much there really is translated so they just left it at 6%. You can go to animesuki and just read what they have to say...http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=65140&page=187

Except it's wrong. TLC has been proceeding at a decent rate, they just don't update the statistics much. Look at the user pages of the TLC and editor of the project and you'll see what's being done.

ef is out, but Muv Luv will be here in a week.
What to play...

>>5018559
Clear ef this week and play muv luv next. Simple.

>>5018538
>Unfortunately, fixing EP1 and EP2 up to our EP5/6 standards will take me several months personally
We're never going to get EP6 at this rate.

>>5018559
Fuck it, just play ef now.

I'm going Curtain Call -> ef -> Muv Luv.

In an Umineko thread that's still being replied into here, one of our /jp/ translator bros said that the translation is actually between 30 and 50%.

>Galaxy Angel: Moonlit Lovers
>still no progress after 4 months

Goddamnit, looks like I'll have to wait until next year for this one.

>>5018575
That is because he is translating Daibanchou -Big Bang Age at a rate of 3 to 4 thousand lines a week.

>>5018575
They're working on Daibanchou instead. I'm okay with this.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- A messy snapshot patch released. Project 35.2% translated

>>5018589
This is awesome. But I wish their beta patches had the user interface translated first ;_;

Fixing:

>Umineko 6: At least 31% translated, possibly more

So people don't have to keep thinking there's been no progress.

>>5018614
No, because they played it and it turns out bad.

>>5018646
Oh. That makes sense, I guess. I wouldn't want to work on bad game either.

>>5018614

Not to mention, didn't the old Cartagra translator have a fair amount of scripts done? Why isn't he on board the project to help them out?

>>5018671
Because he diseappeared. Trust me, we tried to contact him, but didn't get any kind of response.

>School Days- Chapter 1 completed, work on chapter 2 at ~68%, translation at 100%

Every fucking week.

>>5018570

I want to believe ;_;

>>5018682
inb4 Overflow C&D's and sends the project to mangagamer.

>>5018639
Yeah, they've had two separate teams working on the EP1-4 editing and EP6 for a while now. Their page just hasn't been updated.

>>5018762

A new teaser was posted for Da Capo II on the staff blog today, hopefully they eventually do additional teasers for the unidentified stuff.

I'm bumping the best thread of the week.

>Osananajimi wa Daitouryou ~My girlfriend is the President.~ - 152/170 scripts translated (89.4%) , Putina alpha patch released, Yukino/Ell routes fully translated

Unfourtunately it has been like this since last week.

"Galaxy Angel: Moonlit Lovers - 110kb/2.91 mb translated"

What in the world is going on with this?

>Ongoing talks with a company whose bread and jam you would not want to eat

Got no idea who.

>>5019533
Nothing.

>>5019518
Is it really that far already? What the fuck? Why do the fast translators always do shitty games?

>>5019571
The other two fast translators are doing Muv Luv and Daibanchou. Two out of three isn't bad.

>>5019581

I would assume people would settle for a "shitty" translation for a "shitty" game making it run along faster as well.

>>5019518
>>5019571
>>5019581

>>5019571

It's not a very long game.

>Lilith-soft may be interested in official translations.

Considering Lilith type of games I find very unlikely unless they do it themselves (were they go from "dark" to "unintentional comedy") , especially their Dark label.

Yes, they thrown a notice to Dark Translations but their usual stuff makes Rapelay look tame.

>>5019604

And the fact the routes are very straightforward helps.

>>5019600

>>5019607
It's possible, if they are having financial issues in their domestic market.

>>5019571
>Why do the fast translators always do shitty games?

A couple more Asukimi scripts are nearly finished (I've been skipping around), so expect the update status to jump in the next few weeks.

I have the manga gamer versions to higurashi. does anyone else's computer freeze when trying to run the games? it only started happening after i downloaded meakashi.

Wonderful, thank you.

If I feel like it's worth the money, yeah.

Depends. I don't buy sexromps, but I've bought most of story centric official English releases. Also got Demonbane on preorder.

I swear this is dead T-T

No, VNs usually cost $100 or so per game (though, officially translated games are cheaper but I don't play translations), I don't have that kind of money as a NEET living on benefits.

>>5022339
Well that's a downer. Let's hope the awesome guys who's doing Cartagra now will pick it up later.

Also the terrible BALDR trolls should just disappear and make room for someone who's really devoted to translating them

Fuck yeah fangirls, move so i can fap to a vn for the first time.

I hope I can get to read F/H and Umineko 6 before I get childern, it would be pain in ass to read VNs and take care of them.

>>5022649

>>5022610

Same, really looking forward it.

>>5022649
Umineko 6 is at least at 31%, said by gamefaqs translators.
It's between 31-50%, so it's already 1/3 done.

I belive F/HA will have its translations finished in 3 years. Then there's editing...

>Himekishi Lilia- Lilith-soft may be interested in official translations. Because of this, this translator will continue his localization, but with a wait and see attitude before releasing it

Looks like he is scared Lilith-soft will steal his translations


>I DO plan on doing and continuing my translation of Lilia as a localization BUT I am concerned about finishing it now and then witnessing Lilith-soft "rebrand" it as their own translation and make money from my hard work.

>I've decided to continue my localization, I really do enjoy Lilia and what I've "done" with it. I will however wait a little to see just what Lilith-soft is up to before publishing it. I expect that if they DO translate their games we should see something soon...

Great to see this progressing again.

>>5028381
I think it's been progressing consistently, the status just doesn't get updated very often. Now if only someone would start on editing it.

>>5027183
I have noticed that people with aspergers or slight autism tend to do it. It is quite fascinating really. I was told that they do it as a form of emphasis that would normally be applied by accenting words in daily speak. While typing this type of emotion is generally conveyed by punctuation such as "." or "!". But these people do not seem to grasp that, and instead write in an odd fashion which is generally unappealing to the reader, giving a bad impression of the quality of the words written and of the author.

>>5019647

I still doubt it, they cannot release it by normal retail channels and even a online shop would be murder with the normal pricetag AND the shipping costs.

Sure it could be digital copy but still its a substantial risk and considering how the Japanese eroge companies pussied out with Rapelay incident ...

I'm fine with this.
They can "recruit" the translator (pay him, whatever), and push the game into their edit machine
