Well, at least Umineko and OsaDai are almost done. Waiters gonna wait.

okay, can anyone make the % of Flyable heart if it has 47000 lines, it's something about 15% I believe.

>>5549487
Killer Queen always updates in big chunks. I doubt there hasn't been progress on it.

>>5549498
A couple of weeks at most, Beato.

>>5549496
You're asking us to divide for you?

>>5549507
I think so, i haven't done maths since forever and I tended to fuck up at % for an unknown reason.

>>5549510
What? Just divide 7200/4700, it really shouldn't be that difficult.

>>5549497
That's great to know. I was just being a bitch, anyway.

>>5549503

It's rather overhyped, the anime is actually better than the VN

>>5549678
It's also up to 5400 lines now.

Oh look, no progress on Togainu n-

>Togainu No Chi- 61.78% translated

can you include the recently (100%) translated ones?

Fucking fangirl, i want to play to TnC ;_;

I want too experience a dating sims visual novel and fap to it, i'm tired of romancing slut i don't even like.

>Lamento ~Beyond the Void~ -4%
Awesome. If this speed keeps up this will be translated in two years.

Even though TnC has broken 60%, it's after taking two years to do so. I think that we should appeal to the translators to make a partial patch just before the anime comes out.

>>5550669
I know who are, ATLAS anon.

>Little Busters - ~60%
>Love Plus- Dialogue translation: 23.6%
>To Heart2- 46%

Weekly dose of disappointment.

>>5550963

>>5550963
There was a bit of translation done for Loveplus in the past week, the status on the front page just doesn't get automatically updated.

>>5550963

Little Busters only releases updates per route. There's probably a fair bit more progress than that.

Hoping to see Komari's route by August, at least.

Remember 11. I will wait for you till the world ends.
Also, Symphonic Rain side stories progress?
I loved the 2 stories so far.

>Raidy II- Released

torrent where?

>Yumina the Ethereal - announced, expected to be released within a year

Bump.

Now that the AX is over (and all our dreams and expectations have gone with it), it's back to monitoring this thread in the hope we get better news than what the AX delivered.

Unfortunately the progress stats are just as depressing as the news from the AX.

Hey, www.visual-novels.net dev, be a man and copy this tl status in your website and I will be able to completely abandon this /a/ infested shithole, previously known as /jp/.

>Concerto Note - Prologue Patch released!

>>5549503
>A couple of weeks at most
Just in time for us to start bitching about translating episode 7, yay!

This thread looks... calm this week.
Not that I complain.

>>5550669

So many shitty games on the list and troll projects all over the place.

Let this thread die, it's just shit.

>hurr
At least you were stupid enough to bump this thread, despite wanting it to die.

>>5551011
What, you actually WANT to play that shit?

What the fucks wrong with you?

>>5554247
A good number people here were pretty excited about it when it was announced before, so it's not that surprising. It's not as if it's just a straight up sex romp.

>>5554247
It's pretty shocking to imagine that someone else would like different things than you.

>>5554375
it is, so don't do that anymore.

>Lamento ~Beyond the Void~ -4%

>Part of the team who was working on Ijiwaru MyMaster are now working on something else with good progress
Would you mind asking them how much they've exactly translated? Or is it dead?

Best thread of the week.

page 6 already? i guess nothing exciting happened this week

Last Higurashi chapter is announced to be released on 28th July.

and from Amaterasu:
>Total: 30/44 scripts (68.18%)
>Total (KB): 735.23 KB/1124.07 KB (65.41%)
>Total (Lines): 17419/27257 lines (63.91%)

>>5556834
I meant 29th sorry

So what's this game all about? The only review I got from Google is in Vietnam; luckily they got tons of screenshot despite lolartifacts.

http://buzplanet.com/showthread.php?t=7013

Looks like gameplayfag should rejoice.

>>5556834
I liked it when they updated the site nearly every day better.

>>5556939
its good if you dont mind the fucking grindian dungeon cralwan shit

good thing you don't really need to do those as they are optional.

>>5556959
actually, they sort of do coz' the days since start counter increases everyday and the percentage done each day keeps decreasing (which makes me cringe everyday btw). I'm suspecting Ixrec couldn't translate for a few days then went berserk mode to make up for it (I have the impression he's crazy enough to do that).

>>5557029
No, he never double or increase his daily quota even when he got sick/mood leave so no berserk mode.

Anyway posting some more Matsuryuu (who also happens to be lead artist for Cross Channel).

>>5557029
That's probably done automatically.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprSc_7pQFQ

That's it for the moment. Can't kill the best thread of the week with imagedump even if 'related'. I'll delete these posts in few hours as well.

It's about grinding. And more grinding. And more grinding.

god damn the clueless janitor is here again
>>5556939
its good except for the optional dungeon crawling/grinding

Page 10 age

>Remember11- Everything translated, 96/155 scripts edited

oh come on I've waited a year for this to be finished and it stops because of something like this?

Speaking of Remember11, what exactly does it take to help with the editing on something like that? I have more than enough free time and would love to get in there and do some of it, but I would hate to mess things up.

>>5559344
Generally a good knowledge of English and some writing ability. Japanese knowledge is usually left to TLC.

Seems a slow weekend at BTotW, Back to first page, so it is easy to find.

>>5559577
Everybody's still recovering from the AX trolling. Plus, nothing much is happening in the translation scene - C&Ds appear to have quietened down, NNL aren't doing anything important and there're no TLWiki projects near release.

>>5557029
>>5557076
It's not fully automatic. I type a command every few days to make it check for new scripts and update the stats. It wasn't updated in the last week since I was way too busy with other projects to even remember about the stats.

My computer broke for a few weeks and i haven't been around much, could you explain me what the AX trolling is?

Let me pull a few quotes for you from the transcript:
22:16:48 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> Kouki Yoshimune, representative of age
22:18:07 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> You may know MuvLuv and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
22:18:45 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> I'm director, character designer, mecha designer, scenario writer
22:19:12 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> kouryuu: As you mentioned, your company released these famous games, does this mean you're interested in localizing these with MangaGamer since you're here?
22:19:42 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> age: If we have a reason to, we will release it

Critical hit to everyone in the AX thread
Then, to rub it in:
23:21:27 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> Next up is... Minami Kuribayashi (singer)
23:21:34 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> In Japan, I sing and write anime songs
23:21:40 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> I also do voice acting.
23:22:03 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> So far for Kiminozo, I do the opening song and voice act.
23:22:22 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> This uniform I'm wearing today is the uniform for KimiNozo
23:23:19 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> (Missed previous line, believe it was that it was her first time in the US) And I actually had a great experience being brought here. And I'm really happy to meet all of you.
23:23:03 <bay|AX|Mangagamer> So this is the song from my debut title, KimiNozo: Rumbling Hearts

>>5560958
It still hurts.

>>5560993
I know ;_;

On another note, I'm looking forward to the "powered up" version of D.C.

>>5560913
Don't forget:
Mangagamer: "If you buy more, we'll release more." Pic related.

>>5561020
As am I. Older sisters, so good.

>>5561024
That was actually Navel, but yeah. The point stands.

>>5560958
I'm not hurt a slightly bit. None of the age games seem interesting to me.

bump

>>5560958
;_;

>>Osananajimi wa Daitouryou ~My girlfriend is the President.~ - was listed as fully translated, however because of retranslating that is going on, listed progress in now 142/170 (83.5%) translated

Come on, come on.... I want this.

Any torrents for Downhill Night 2 yet? Needs something to fap to.

>>5562351
Not yet.

>>5562259
If you're waiting for a final release, it's a long time coming. Kugyuuu is a blazingly fast translator, but editing is slow and God knows how long TLC will take. There's a patch with full translation, though Kugyuuu removed it from the discussion page for some weird reason (http://tsukuru.info/tlwiki/images/f/fe/Patch.xp3).).

>>5554247
I don't know about "play," but... I like ZYX porn. So much the better if I can get it in English.

When is Koihime Musou coming out?

>>5562706
When it's done

Bumping

>Little Busters - ~60%, new patch released with Kurugaya's route

My waifu on the left..
>>5556939
Grinding for levels is easy, but grinding for quests is nightmarish..
I'd say good luck translating this one, many texts displayed in this game are actually images.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING RAIDY2 TORRENT?

Where are my cool things, Moogy?!

Page 13? Really?

BTotW seems unpopular.

>>5566693
The first and 2nd game aren't really all that different in quality, if first one is shit, so is the second one.

Granted I don't think either of them are really shit.

>>5566693
Still better than any Rance game though.

>>5570323
If you say so.

Talk it up guys, whatever VN gets the most positive comments, we translators translate faster!

>>5570805
I'm sure we all wish it worked like that.

>>5570815
It worked with Moogy-dono. Or was that just NNL pulling his strings?

>>5570805
Yeah, look at FHA's translation for example. Oh wait.

Does anyone know the actual translation status of Yosuga no Sora, how much it should be after Sora's route, and how much the partial patch covers?

>>5571287
Relevant to my interests, also.

Please post future lists in order of most completion instead of alphabetical

>>5571348
It's easier to find projects you're interested in if it's alphabetical.

>>5571348
What the fuck, no. That'd be extremely awkward, and highly annoying. You're doing a swell job OP, keep it the way you want.

>>5571359
I disagree. It'd be very simple to find whatever project you were interested in either by way of looking or ctrl+f. It would be much better if it was sorted by completion, that way you'd have a good idea of what would come out next so you wouldn't miss anything and had an idea of what the timeline would be like.

>>5571389
I still don't like the idea. It's fine as it is.

In order of percentage is ridiculous. Where should titles like Tomoyo After be, for example? There's nothing concrete in any of the vague ones.

>>5571359
>>5571389
That and the fact that the projects I'm most looking forward to will never be finished. It'd be much nicer if I could focus my attention on ones that are about to be finished

>>5571426
Well put, sir.

>>5571426
They should be put in according to their last known status, or if it's completely unknown then at the end or in a separate unknown list

>>5571448
This sounds overly complicated. Can't we just keep it alphabetical?

>>5571462
It doesn't sound complicated at all. I think you're just bitter about change

>>5571477
I'm not. I don't care much at all.
But it does sound more complicated than "alphabetical".

This way of the list > any other way of the list.

>>5571504
I fail to see how it's complicated. You get a quick glance of what around the corner and then you can see the ones you're interested in further down the list.

>>5571359

>>5571399
>>5571426
>>5571447

Did I just get completely ignored?

>>5571389
>that way you'd have a good idea of what would come out next so you wouldn't miss anything and had an idea of what the timeline would be like.
Considering the huge differences in progress speeds between groups, and the fact that most of them don't progress at a constant pace to begin with, it wouldn't work like that.

>>5571518

That's actually not too bad an idea. A seperate list for the ones that were updated during the week and the ones that aren't, at least for the fantranslations.

>>5571590

I wasn't meaning for it to be the DEFINITIVE UP TO DATE MOST ACCURATE GUIDE EVER, but to just give an idea of what would come out next.

>>5574429
>swells status

Then that is just one act?

>>5574516
I don't think the "demo" part actually means anything. That's just the picture KS Devs made while releasing the first part of Katawa Shoujo. (Hence, the "ACT 1" part.)

...Wait a second. Does that mean Swells is actually longer than the listed 11209 lines? That MAY give a reason for the changing "text block" count.

>>5574539
Gotta love the Red Herrings they've been putting up. I still hope that Swells is Mashiro Iro Symphony. I want to believe. ;_;

>>5574539
I believe it's the original ~50k lines long (the line count before they reduced it)

>>5571287

Bumping for answers.

>>5571287
The partial patch covers Kazuha's route. I really hope they translate the whole game since I'm interested in all of the characters. Then I hope someone translates the fandisc so I can play Yahiro's route.

>Baldr Sky
How far is Strato on this anyway?

>>5577600

Does it have the main route leading to hers?

>>5577624
Apparently you have to play Kazuha's route to unlock Sora's. I haven't played the partial patch but that's what I remember when the wiki was up.

>>5577682

I see. Thanks.

>>5577705
No problem anon.

>>5577600

>Then I hope someone translates the fandisc so I can play Yahiro's route.

You mean she doesn't have a route in the actual game!? Fuck it, I don't care about this game anymore.

>>5577840
She only has a route in the fandisc.

So what do you think JAST will do about Makoto's translation of Muramasa?

>>5549487
Sup Nife. How's the progress on Rainbow Girl?

also
>~60%, new patch released with Kurugaya's route

They'll tell him to atop right before he begins Muramasa/Chachamaru Route. Then release it three years later.

You seriously have no idea on how hard I freaked out at your post. How in the name of fuck do you know it's me?
Oh god man, I seriously felt a chill down my spine. I post as Anonymous and someone just says "HEY NIFE I KNOW IT'S YOU". Holy fuck.

Well, regardless, Rainbow Girl is going ok, I finished the video but the mixer disappeared AGAIN. Been 6 days already.

>>5574429

At least that means we'll know what Swells is soon, right?

Right?

Awesome.

>>5578319

We're 99% sure it's Mashiro Iro Symphony.

>>5578497
Anyone know how big Mashiro Iro Symphony is? And what makes you think that's what Swells is anyway?

>Muramasa - no progress
I think I'll go read the Genki books and cry myself to sleep

What happened to the Princess Maker guys?
The thread died one or two days ago.

>>5578538

I feel the same way, if i could eat a japanese person to learn the language i would.

>>5578538
What do you mean no progress? How are you supposed to know that? Makoto isn't one to give constant progress updates.

>>5578548
Check the ghost board.

>>5578571
Oh, I am so silly. Thanks Anon.

He updates after translating a chapter. Be a bit more patient and tolerant ffs.

Majikoi weights 7GB?!

>>5578618
Data doesn't weigh anything.

>>5578618
Mostly the voices that take up about 3gb.
Which is normal I guess considering Majikoi is pretty long and mostly filled with dialogues.

>>5578618
Majikoi is really fucking long and is fully voiced (except protagonist)
How much space did you think it would take up?

>>5578760
How long is "really fucking long"?

>>5578775
Longer than FSN.
And it's filled with dialogues unlike other longass games like FSN or Muramasa that are filled with narration.

>>5578775
More than 50 hours

The prologue alone is over 10000 lines

>>5578775
Clannad, 300+ hours

>>5578796

Clannad is only about 90 hours, and only if you don't skip any of the text.

>>5578796
It doesn't take THAT long, unless you're a slow reader and aren't very good at japanese, and even that is stretching it

>>5578783
>>5578789
>>5578864
Is the language hard?

>>5578886
Well, it's not easy, but it's certainly no Saihate no Ima either

Clannad is 70 hours for me.

Yes they are. Seconding this.

Bump for answer.

50595 lines (check TLWiki in the future). That's within a few lines of the original number of text blocks NNL listed for Swells.

GSS is cursed. Nobody can ever start a translation and be steady with it. It's a shame, because it's the BEST.VN.EVER.

I-it's not like I w-want to bump you back to first page, BTotW. I just happend to post here. Don't start thinking I like you or anything!

>>5578636
>Data doesn't weigh anything.
It does actually. If it carries any information, it need to have information entropy, and finite amount of it. Destroying data would increase said entropy, but at the cost of energy.
Second Law of thermodynamics states that eventually entropy is going to max out, or in other words, all data is going to be destroyed. So if, you attach to data an energy required to erase it (which will eventually have to be spent), and convert that energy to mass via E=mc^2, you get mass of that data. Put it in a gravity field and you get it's weight.

First page time.

How bad is the unedited part when compared to edited scripts?

Is this one still bumpable?

>>5595978
my thoughts every time I see this thread

not that I'm complaining, I love VNs

>>5593162

Not much, their editing is poor anyway.

>>5593162
is readable fine, nothing to complain much about.

>>5593162
It's fine, if you don't mind ellipses everywhere.

>>5596409
Are the Tips translated?

>>5596427

Just read them on the Wiki.

Another bump.

Still BTotW.

From encubed, interview with 0verflow :
>When we inquired further regarding their English version, they revealed to us that they actually have a multilingual game engine and work flow all set up for English translations of their game. (...) In fact, 0verflow claimed that if they had all the translations, they could literally put together a localized version of a game running on that game engine within a day.

who the fuck cares a bout visual novels?

>>5602498
This board.

>>5602472
Welcome to the difference between hacking a complicated engine and having all the tools for said engine available. I laughed pretty hard when I read that. It's more amusing as 0verflow knows about Sekai Project.

>>5602881
Well, let us hope that Mangagamer parters with 0verflow, buys the trans from Sekai, and releases the game.
Or not.

>When we inquired further regarding their English version, they revealed to us that they actually have a multilingual game engine and work flow all set up for English translations of their game.

That doesn't mean it would take a day though. Japanese companies are useless. It took Square Enix 5 years to change a radius variable on support spells for Summoner. It's a 1 minute fix... taking 5 years because they couldn't care less about their customers.

>>5604015
u mad?

>0verflow claimed that if they had all the translations, they could literally put together a localized version of a game running on that game engine within a day.

Aren't these the same guys whose games have had lots of problems due to programming fuckups?

bump

>>5605734
And then had to release patches almost as large as the game itself, yes.

Where the fuck in the rest of my Disability Girls?

>Second Law of thermodynamics states that eventually entropy is going to max out
Words can not express my feelings. After all this time, people misunderstanding thermo laws still trolls me.

Maybe this thread will meet tomorrow's thread.

FHA won't be finished. Never. Most of what's done is just random translations done by other people.
isn't it sad?

>>5612206
not really, it's a pretty mediocre fandisk so it's not like anything of value is lost.

Sekai Project basically solved this problem for them.

Somebody Email MangaGamer or Sekai Project. This way we could get Schoold Days much faster.

honestly just go learn japanese you lazy mofos.
easy as hell compared to learning english as a second language for example.

100 times faster to do that than wait for these slow ass patches to come out and you get something out of it other than just fapping material.
most of these translations are terrible anyway.

>>5612386
the simple fact you have to learn a completely different "alphabet", containing an atrocious number of kanji, makes it hardly "100 times easier than english".

>>5612416
The kanji aren't difficult to just remember, and they make learning the spoken language much easier.

>>5612429
>The kanji aren't difficult to just remember
Which is exactly why it's generally considered to be the hardest part about learning the language? You're right that it'd be faster to learn Japanese, but the amount of time and effort it'd take isn't exactly possible for everybody.

>>5612429
Aren't difficult? Certainly not for a chinafag, but hardly something easy for any occidentalfag you see.

That and the fact you have to learn far more symbols, than you cutting edge 27 letters.

Well I don't care, i can read moon runes, but it always makes me laugh that some claim people should just learn that: if it was that easy, we wouldn't have that kind of discussion.

>>5612434
Personally I have a much bigger problem keeping up with spoken language without Japanese subtitles. But then again I read Japanese a hell of a lot more than I listen to it.

>>5612436
>than you cutting edge 27 letters.
>27 letters
>27
lolwut

>>5612447
The hell does that have to do with learning the language? I'm not questioning the usefulness of the kanji - I'm saying that they're the largest obstacle to learning the language for most people.

>>5612452
And I'm saying kanji wasn't particularly difficult for me, but listening to vocabulary without kanji is. My biggest obstacle is the spoken language.

Not that it matters, but I guess it just shows that it depends on your methods. If you're just watching raw anime without doing much reading, learning kanji will be an extreme pain in the ass but your spoken Japanese will develop well. If you're just reading books/VNs 24/7 you won't have much trouble learning to read, but you'll probably have a hard time keeping up with the spoken language since you're relying on kanji.

>>5612416
learning kanji is just a matter of practice and repetition... that and the fact that japanese actually has a phonetic alphabet as opposed to languages like chinese, you are pointing out exactly why japanese is so much easier to learn...

not to mention all you really need is a strong grasp of grammar (no need to be strong in kanji) to play these games with the assistance tools that are out there (such as AGTH).

>>5612474
And just about every study of linguistics says otherwise. It's good you had little trouble, but for most people putting in the amount of time and effort required to memorise 2000-3000 kanji is too much for them (whether it be because they're lazy like most of /jp/ or have other commitments).

>>5612478
>you are pointing out exactly why japanese is so much easier to learn...
Compared to another language with enormous differences from European languages? Japanese is hard to learn for most because it has little in common with English, German, French etc.

>>5612528

Seconded. Japanese would be very, very easy to learn if it just was all in western alphabet. The hard part is the writing system.

>>5612528
Japanese actually isn't that hard for scandinavian people to learn, at least not for norwegian or swedish people.

Almost there to meet the next thread.

I gave up after 5 kanji...

using anki and kanji damage (KD to look them up and memorize) you can learn every kanji's keyword and a reading or two, 15-35 per day no problem. Once you have all those fuckers down, you learn vocab, after that, you're fucking good to go. It's not that bad. You get out of it exactly what you put in, and most people are useless faggots that don't like a 1-1 time commitment like that.

Oh yeah, apparently, we have all been trolled by Gipface. They managed to slip an original ending into Ef and most people thought it was canon.

>>5613625
>You get out of it exactly what you put in, and most people are useless faggots that don't like a 1-1 time commitment like that.
Yes, because everybody wants to put in hours and hours of boring memorisation each day only to forgot most of it because of 'lol rote learning.' If you're talking 15-35 a day for anything but Heisig (in which you're only memorising the kanji, not the readings), you're either spending a ridiculous amount of time on it or you're going to forget most of it.

>>5613664
Why am I not surprised.

>>5613664

Wait, what? What original ending?

Kara no Shoujo is never going to be released, is it?

Katahane trial's gameplay involved dialogues is actually a lot less then what the extracted script contains.

The trial is basically done but unedited yet and the full game's script is already extracted.
