>Aiyoku no Eustia - translation of the web trial released
How long is the trial?

>>7264932
5-ish hours.

Best thread of the week is finally here!

Second Majikoi release not too fat, that is nice.

Who works on Kichikuou rance?

>Himekishi Lilia- "I've decided to announce a FIRM release of May for my localization of Lilia", "I will say before and no later then May 27"

>Aiyoku no Eustia
Holy fuck this was actually kinda awsome.
..Untill the moeblobs showed up.

I still hope they translate the full game though.

Since the last thread got deleted 5 minutes after I posted, I'll repeat my opinion on Eustia:
>That trial had only made me mad. It has a nice start with an interesting setting, then suddenly moeblob appears, and everything goes downhill.
>Fuck Japan and their purity fetish. The three hookers and the bar owner are more interesting characters than the fucking meek winged girl or the Saber/Octavia/whatever-clone captain woman.
>I very mad. Picture (>>7264942) related, in every route she will die a horrible, painful death from dehydration and loss of blood, half-insane in some small, moldy room locked from the outside while suffering withdrawal symptoms because she's not pure enough to get a route. Fuck this shit.

>Muramasa - Chapter 5 complete, but because it is Nitro+, it is uncertain what will come from the project
The only one I care about won't even budge.

>>7264969
no one expected much. it's a shitty company anyway. makes me wonder what the fuck were they thinking when they picked up the translation

Best thread etc
So, Demonbane is coming out in a couple of weeks at worse? Yeah, right

>>7264971
Prepare to wait for another 3-4 years.

>>7264969
Why does /jp/ have such shitty opinions?

I can learn and speak Japanese fluently before Demonbane comes out

>Princess Maker 5- 25% translated
So this got picked up again? I'm glad

>>7264998
I'll read moonrunes better than you when ataraxia comes out

>>7264969
I hated every second of Tia. The yandere doctor, blind saint and captain more than make up for her though.

Is the Aiyoku no Eustia trial worth reading despite a full translation of it not being guaranteed at this point?

>>7265026
Let's be honest, do you have anything better to do with your time?

Why is nobody translating Steins;Gate?

>>7265052
Support JAST USA's official localizations of Nitro+ games!

>>7265064
...fuck you.... jasttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

>>7265064
JAST can't touch Steins;Gate or Chaos;Head without going through 5pb.
And probably one of the main reason's there no project for it is because the PC Port was an extremely shitty job.

>>7265064
Will they even translate it? Somebody should just grow some balls and translate, fuck C and D letters, it means shit. If you just translate it without telling about body big or not put it on a wiki, cant you just translate it right under there noses anyway? I never got that.

>>7265031
Perhaps, perhaps not, but it takes quite a bit to overcome my apathy, so I don't want to waste effort on something that isn't worth it.

>>7265099
>i will type all these words and say absolutely nothing

What is the point of these companies if there just not letting us translate things, and in the end we get nothing, and fan translators still translate everything and at a slow as fuck pace. we were better off without jast and manga gamer.

>>7265115
Welcome to /jp/. Please don't try too hard to fit in.

>>7265115
>Businesses shouldn't try and protect their interests

>>7265115
MangaGamer's nice, fast, and dirty, and we still got ef in spite of them.

Support JAST and MangaGamer. Get a shitty product. Receive everything censored and "localized." Pay too much.

Keep taking it up the ass, forever, OR THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WILL COLLAPPPPPSSSSSEEEEEEE.

>>7265115
Considering the time that some take, they'd be as as well just letting fan-translators have a crack at it and buy the translation off them later.

I would like to see Django translated in my lifetime. I could either take steps towards prolonging my life-span by dieting and regular exercise or I could bitch about it and hope things will change in my favor. I have chosen the latter and I do not regret it.

>>7265131
I read ef a year ago.

>>7265137
grats

All manga gamer is wasting there time on, if when they do try to do their job, is on bad eroges, also they better not try to be dicks and translate vns we already have, like clannad and kanon. I mean if your gonna give us eroge, translate fucking resort boin.

>Real Imouto ga Iru - translation: 1064/16108 (7%) editing:438/16108 (3%)

Nice to see this moving.

>Harukoi Otome - 4 arcs translated thus far
>Translation and Editing for Riru's arc in #Harukoi is all done now. That's four routes down, and only two left to go!

Fuck yeah Riru-Riru.

>>Himekishi Lilia- "I've decided to announce a FIRM release of May for my localization of Lilia", "I will say before and no later then May 27"

Key word: "Localization" (AKA making shit up).

Also I suspect there is only a date because someone got pissed enough to attempt a translation, granted it a machine translation+edits but it certainly beats another GamePatch ... besides anyone wants to bet when 27th comes there will still be nothing?

Ah, the yaoi fans have given up crying?

I used to look forwards to the two posts a week.

..at least Sweet Pool would have been good to have translated, since it's impossible to read with AGTH. I hope that new game N+C is putting out is on a different engine.

F/HA went up a whole .2%

I guess thats better then nothing

>>7265289
'sup Cudder

>>7265324

Wrong, I have a account at Hongfire so I have been seeing this going on for quite a while and I am just fed up with this, I wish Krayben did not made that post so this would eventually stop being reported as a "translation".

The funny thing (or not) is this is a Black Lilith title so its pretty much rape and moar rape with a bit of rape to spice things up. In fact I think Dark Translations was brought down by Lilith that makes this game a bit too much of a poison to work with.

Oh and nice try ... are you REALLY trying to call me Cudder when I am calling out on a project that as far anyone knows have absolutely no progress?

Well we will see in 27th of May ... well 27th of May of 2011 ...

>Little Busters - ~70%, new patch released with Mio's route translated, Haruka route 73.9% translated, Kud's route 81.84% translated

Not this shit again.

>>7265399

That is because you have not read Satin's comments on what he was going to do ... it goes well beyond removing honorifics.

What is the update on demonbane?
There is only like 7days left.

>>7265091
>And probably one of the main reason's there no project for it is because the PC Port was an extremely shitty job.
Eh, bringing up the menu and looking up the text history has always been shitty for Nitro games. Well, not sure on 5pb but yeah.

>>7265093
>Somebody should just grow some balls and translate, fuck C and D letters, it means shit.
Somebody already made a C&D Wiki last year when the Nips were going full out Xenophobe and C&Ding everything. Forgot what came of it.

>>7265418

Nothing new I am afraid ... I wish it comes out at least before the end of May since I intend to buy it.

>>7265459
I meant more how the PC port of Steins;Gate is supposed to crash randomly pretty frequently.

Go, F/HA! At this hate you might reach 50% before Lilia is released!

>>7265459
>Forgot what came of it.

Its already been overrun with spambots

>>7265473
seriously, I want to support them so we can get more English releases but they aren't helping at all. I've had $40 earmarked for Demonbane just sitting here waiting to be spent.

Well its Demonbane and School Days HQ I want to buy, one because its Demonbane and the other because the game takes A LOT of space.

>Love Plus- 684/900 scripts translated (76.00%), 3nd partial patch out

>Love Plus- 684/900 scripts translated (76.00%), 3nd partial patch out

Truly, the person translating this is a god(dess?). Such efficiency and dedication.

Will we ever see a Grisaia translation or should I just continue studying moonrunes?

>>7265748
If you have to ask..
Keep studying.

So close!

>Baldr Sky - Translation ongoing
What the fuck is going on with this? Are people still working on it?

Baldr Sky should have gotten translated instead of Muv-Luv.

>>7266477
Uh, no.

>>7266523
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

>>7265315
What exactly happened with those (3?) N+C TL projects, are they on indefinite hiatus or are they legitimately dropped?

>>7266491
Piss off, Moogy. Go back to translating DraKoi.

>>7266545
>He thinks Moogy is actually doing any of the translating!
laughingTLwikidevs.jpg

>>7266549
Even if he's not, do you realize just how many titles that have been translated that wouldn't have otherwise simply because of the existence of TLWiki itself, not to mention all the help that he has given to these projects in one way or another? You fucking ungrateful assholes make me sick.

>>7266554
> You fucking ungrateful assholes make me sick.
All the translators should band together and make a month or so-long strike against /jp/'s autism. The frustration would be glorious.

>>7266554
Sup, Moogy-dono. Still butthurt over SubaHibi? You gotta admit, NNL had you there.

>>7266554

Sound slightly frustrated there.

I'm not Moogy, just a random anon sick of your bullshit.

>Katahane

>>7266561
You're not the only one, but pointing out bullshit only makes it stink more, so chill out.

>>7266524
>>7266523
This person is awesome. First Katahane, then Second Reproduction and now this?

Awesome.

>Katahane
>Second Reproduction

After two shit titles I hope the new one will be better.

>>7266602
It'll take a while, the game is basically twice the size of Katahane, approacing Majikoi as raw script size goes.
I honestly hope she won't release partial patches, I don't think a great game like that one deserves that.

>>7266615
Oh, are you mad?

>>7266616
No plans for partials, unless the future editors will be bitching about wanting them.
>>7266615
I can't even begin to grasp the logic why'd you compare these 3 games. They literally have nothing in common with each other.

>>7266616
Nobody is forcing you to play partials.
>I don't think a great game like that one deserves that.
Great games don't deserve to be translated in the first place because faggots like >>7266615 insist on calling some games shit.

>>7266760
>Nobody is forcing you to play partials.
You're right, but I do care about how a game I like is going to be recieved. I personally think partials only degrade a game's experience with unnecessary wait and hype, so I don't like seeing them for projects I like (Majikoi comes to mind) .
And people saying translated games are shit are nothing new, I figure translators don't work for these kinds of people either, for every vocal shitposter there's a lot more grateful readers.

>After two shit titles I hope the new one will be better.

The terms are "Disney" and "Real Deal". We don't use shit and better here.

>>7266790
>for every vocal shitposter there's a lot more grateful readers.
This. The sad thing is they samefag a lot, making it seem like there's more than just few of them.

>>7266803
That's why they are shitposters and people like Ixrec don't take them seriously.

>>7266826
Ixrec's case is different, the one being attacked isn't the game, it's his behaviour. And honestly it's pretty funny seeing him all defensive. It's like he thought internet attention would only get him praise and no criticism. Doesn't work like that.

>saying translated games are shit
Do people really care if other people call the games that you like shit?
I like what I like, who give a shit if some people on 4chan doesnt like it.
You guys care too much about hivemind/collective opinions.
If I follow /jp/ opinions on any games, I wouldnt even be playing any.

All games turn into shit over time in /jp/. Just deal with it.

>>7266832
When has he gotten defensive? The only time I've ever really seen this happening was when his SubaHibi review was attacked. I haven't really seen him doing so as far as people attacking his other decisions, it's usually his staff members or other regulars of his site that jump in to defend him.

>>7266854
>it's usually his staff members or other regulars of his site that jump in to defend him.
Oh, the irony.

>>7266854
Really?
But it was his staff that leaked the patch right?

>>7266930
Yeah. Apparently (if his story is to be believed) a staff member's friend had begged them to share the patch, they did so, and said friend promptly went and leaked it.

>>7266523
Awesome to see this getting a translation.

Also, thank you Yeah321 for all the amazing work, finishing 3 translations and starting on a 4th in less than 10 months.

>Umineko 8 - Translation: 45%, Editing: 15%
its useless, its all useless!

Bumping.

>Love Plus- 684/900 scripts translated (76.00%), 3nd partial patch out
Oh neat, it's three quarters of the way done.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- 49.0% translated, second partial patch out
Oh wow, that I might see this reach the 50% mark astounds me.

>>7267034
Have you tried reading his raw translations? There's a reason they're stuck in editing hell.

How do you cancel pre-orders from jast? I've tried their forums, followed their advice by going to the help site and submitting a ticket, but they haven't replied back.

>>7267909
I wish I knew. I've done that plus called their voice mail and still nothing.

It's like signing a contract with the fucking devil.

>>7267909

You're better off making sure nothing gets withdrawn by contacting your bank.

It's one of the many reasons you don't buy from jast.

>>7267893
>his
Actually, it's "her".

I know that Rance 2 is getting edited now, but... it's over a month since the hacking problems were fixed. I am confus.

>>7267919
>It's like signing a contract with the fucking devil.
Well, of course? You ARE signing a contract with Peter Payne, after all?

>>7267941

>Princess Maker 5- 25% translated

Holy shit, wasn't it 19%-ish in the last time?

The hacking and translation are complete but the image editing is still in progress.

>>7267893
The reason is that editors are lazy.

Oh shit! I didn't notice this thread!

Brool story, coo. If every other line needs to be fixed, then you clearly lack the facility in one of the two languages you need to know in order to translate.

>Ore no Imouto - ~2.3% (7/299) scripts

What the fuck? the project started like... 2 weeks ago.

>>7268142
Yeah I know, it's pretty rare to get threads like this on /jp/, so when they (very rarely) pop up they can be very easy to miss.

>>7268154
Not very good at math, are you?

>>7268156
Sorry for not being on /jp/ 24/7.

So, is Ayakashibito any good?
VNDB tags and summary make it sound like utter shit, but it's not like I can judge it by just that.

>>7268165
Don't worry, happens even to the best of us.

>>7268180
One of the best action games, I'd say. If people fighting other people with special powers reminds you too much of FSN powerlevel threads to enjoy it, stay clear. Everyone else will find a solid story.

>>7267982
Yes, things are moving along nicely now.
I just hope that the quality in the end, and the editing process, doesn't end bad.
I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt, and pour all of my hope into their work as it is great that it is being translated.

But I can't help but to feel that more relaxed if say, someone with a history like Aroduc or someone would be working on it.
But yes, I hope this will turn out awesome as it is.

>>7268180
It's got great comedy and awesome action, though all propeller action VNs are good, except evolimit.

>>7268045
I don't think you can call Sheeta (the editor for The Second Reproduction, also works for Amaterasu) lazy or slow, although you might have a point for that katahane editor guy, since I haven't seen enough of his work to say anything..

>>7268322
She's lazy too.
>>7268288
Evolimit is better than Bullet Butlers though.
>>7268147
Doesn't make a difference if the editors are lazy as fuck to begin with.

>>7268392
Eh, AFAIK the Amaterasu editing is well-known for its efficiency, am I mistaken?

>>7268322
>Sheeta
Ixrec's girlfriend?

I have just finished reading the Eustia demo and I am hopeful that it will get picked for the main release.
I liked it so far but I have a few complaints as well as compliments. First off I really enjoyed the hopelessness of the Prison and its lack of government intervention unless there is something there to benefit the government. Second I was really pissed that there was nothing but Real Deal story lines and setting and they were dropped and ignored to shove a pure, hard life heroine #5801 and the MC actually has untapped emotions for her. As on anon said I did not enjoy any scene with her, I enjoyed the Fione and Eris though, I am a sucker for duty type heroines and I feel that Eris can be done well in the writting if they actually decide to give her a little more dept and development.
I have how a lot VNs have incredibly interesting concepts and elements in the beginning and then falls into stereotypes and mediocrity after the prologue. This story has an excellent setting but I world hope for more world exploring and developing the story beyond lol magic with less eroge shit. I have faith that this will be good though as it has the all the tools to be memorable.

>>7268409
Yes, that Sheeta.

>Princess Maker 5- 25% translated

it's about time for some progress to be made

can't wait~

Translators and hackers should team up to make software that is able to somewhat accurately translate. All that would need to be done is getting the scripts, running the software to produce the translated text in a certain file format, and reinserting. That would be badass.

>>7268988
I'll get right on it

>>7268273
>running the software to produce the translated text in a certain file format
Like those magic boxes full of magic, capable of magic? Yeah cool.
I too wish we had quantum computers and advanced AIs capable of cognetive learning.

Otherwise, I actually do agree. It would be pretty awesome if it existed.

If a bunch of random people on the internet could do what linguists/cognitive scientists have been dreaming of for the past few decades I'd be quite surprised.

>>7269671
Don't be surprised, most of the technology is already there and VN text is a very domain-specific application. It just needs improvement, which needs human translators to help with, but they don't want to cooperate since it would mean more competition against them.

http://archive.easymodo.net/jp/thread/2061940

>>7269877
Translators don't want to help with it because they know it's a waste of time. Translation is an art, not a science. Context is impossible for machines right now to understand. None of them even get a simple phrase like はい,どうぞ right. Now magnify that by an entire language.

bump

>>7269877
More than meaning more competition, it would make their own jobs all but obsolete. But why should they care? Anyone who creates such a thing would become immensely wealthy in the process. They'd have no need to translate for money anymore.

>>7270787
Stop samefagging your own shitty posts. It's so obvious it hurts.

I remember reading an interview about half a year ago with one of the main devs/execs from Google. He said that they are at the limit for their Google translate platform. They still can do some fine-tuning here and there to improve it a bit, but beyond that nothing can be done at the moment.
So no, the tech is not there at the moment.

>>7268988

>>7270793
Except it means something like "here you are", when you're giving something to somebody. I can't think of a situation where 'hai, douzo' would translate to 'yes, please'.

Holy fuck you have no idea how excited I am. Kud is probably going to be done in the next couple days as well.

>>7272116
Why should sayas route be a problem?

>>7272111
Why would KEY be interested in Clannad and Kanon given everyone has played them/can just download the patch
Air is a whole different matter though

>>7272169
Fucking long and with mini games.

>>7272087
It's been moving at a decent pace for months now.

I'ma bit pissed about the flyable hearts trans beta, I mean do they need to use this shitty names?

>>7270812
That's because they're trying to do a good job translating every possible Japanese sentence there is, instead of concentrating on e.g. VN scripts, and their system basically learns like a kid, they feed it tons of text and let it "figure out" for itself. OCN et. al. use a more traditional parser-based system, and are largely limited by the depth (context-sensitivity) and breadth (number of entries) of their dictionaries.

>>7270395
We can parse context-sensitive grammars, it's just slow as fuck:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-sensitive_grammar#Computational_properties_and_uses

>>7272179

Why should miniames be a problem? Little Busters witout Ex is already loaded with minigames...

>>7272116

Aren't Rin 2 and Refrain separate routes?

>>7272341
Bzzt, wrong. Thanks for playing, try again. Next time be less retarded.

>Akai Ito- Insertion of the existing translation being worked on, Yumei's route released, Uzuki route 25% inserted
So it's not dead? Fuck yes :3

Wonder what's taking so long though. If you're just inserting an existing translation in the game, wouldn't it just be a matter of writing a tool that parses whatever existing translation and converts it to the format used by the game? Or am I missing something really important here?

>No Steins;Gate

Whatever

>>7272402
There are so many possible things that need to be accounted for. If you're lucky, the in-game text engine already has a valid English font installed. If not, that needs to be put in/replaced. Then possibly text box sizing and placement. And linebreaking.

And most hackers are lazy fuckheads.

>>7272179

Why should minigames be a problem? Little Busters witout Ex is already loaded with minigames...

>>7272431

It's called localization, and some of us like it better that way.

>>7272289
>I mean do they need to use this shitty names?

It's called localization, bro. We're playing a translated game to get AWAY from Japanese words.

>Schalke

>>7272776
Shut up Cudder

>>7272776
Tales of phantasia was so good.

>>7272289

All the names used in the alpha are just literal translations of what the names actually mean.

It's just a carry over from the machine translations. Google translate doesn't know what's a name and what isn't and just translates everything the same way.

>>7272868
Speaking of that, I loved her excuses where he claimed that she didn't use machine translations, but she just knew what all the completely ridiculous ones were and included them in the 'translated' scripts because editing would catch them.

>>7272402
> Wonder what's taking so long though. If you're just inserting an existing translation in the game, wouldn't it just be a matter of writing a tool that parses whatever existing translation and converts it to the format used by the game? Or am I missing something really important here?

because I'm busy and the script is translated from the screen, meaning the scripts don't line up with the game's scripts. Project currently at #tengutrans @ Rizon

One mention of Flyable Heart and all the trolls start oozing out like maggots. Go choke on a bag of dicks, you autistic fucks.

No Steins;Gate!

Somebody go bother Ixrec until he translates Altered Fable.

>>7272111
If you weren't so stupid, you would know that MG's only statement about those "ongoing talks" was that. Even if it's quite obvious that it's Key, they didn't want to say it's name for some kind of reason and just because they reference Kanon and Clannad, it doesn't mean that they are actually a part of the deal.

>>7273232
He already is. He's just not telling anybody because he's still pissed abou the leak.

And you know this because?

>>7274260
He hasn't even played the game.

>>7274263
I'm working on his staff. I also plan to leak the patch the moment it's finished, because he's been pissing me off lately.

He has, he just hasn't blogged about it because he doesn't want people to find out.

Aren't they all dead already? I thought it supposed to be real deal.

>>7274281

>>7274281

>>7274281
You're probably talking out of your ass taking advantage of the fact he's not talking about his project. Were it true, Ixrec would be a huge fuckface for doing a fandisc when he already said he had not intentions of doing any and doing it before the _publicly promised_ Sharnoth and Forest.

>>7274294
Well he doesn't exactly have any obligation to do that now that the leak happened.

>>7274298
This is hilarious, why would you think the leak makes his promises void? I really don't see the logic.

>>7275585
>ungrateful fucks

Yes, we're ungrateful fucks for being angry about him giving a game that he promised to translate to a company with no intention of releasing it.

>>7275585

but the leak happened because of his own staff, good job making short of your own word because of a hissy fit and finding excuses for it

At least you're getting Altered Fable you asshole. That's more than you deserve.

>>7275629
You sound emotionally involved and uncapable of making objective judgment, are you part of Amaterasu?
He's not translating specifically for me so I don't see how I shouldn't be allowed to call a hypocrite who tried to appeal to everyone with promises he was unsure of ever respecting as such.

Does he already plan on leaking MLAF?

Quick question /jp/.

What type of uniform do you prefer in VNs? Vests, blazers, regular sailor uniform, etc?

Personally I kinda like a more modern looking twist on the sailor uniform, kinda like love plus's uniforms.

>>7279215
>>7279225
Hmm, really? From the concept it sounded awesome, a shame they couldn't make something good out of it.

>>7279231
This is where we learn that development hell and constant management churn during product development are a bad thing despite how much media spin they put out. It's no a surprise at all that the system is underdeveloped and shitty.

So when do we get Kamidori translation? seeing all the pics posted in the VN threads made me really want to play it, and I have been only hearing good things about it. some even saying that it is one of the best gameplay eroges there is

>>7279247
didn't they basically drop the real time engine and switched to the current one mid-development? They basically wasted time and resources for nothing and had to release a shitty half-finished system.

It's still going to be another two years at this rate.

http://doki.co/2011/04/27/dokis-visual-novel-department-recruiting-tls-for-tomoyo-after/

So yeah. Doki fansub is going to translate Tomoyo After.
Without using scripts from Baka Tsuki.
Because they would need to "check out their work, style and consistency as well as adapting to their fonts and such".
Let me repeat that. "Adapting to their fonts".
And after that they plan to tackle Air.
Oh, and they only need translator to get the project going.

They're going to translate Tomoyo After, all they need is a translator!

That's like saying "I want to make a movie, all I need is someone to fund me the 20 million dollars!"

>>7279766
A project without a translator is not actually a project, it is a suggestion.

>>7279748
it went from 9% to 20%~ in less than one month, I am hoping for an early 2012 release.

>>7279773

It's more like saying "I want to make a movie, all I need is everything you need to make a movie and people to make it for me!"

>>7279701
It stalled for a while, but new TL came in two and a half week ago.

>>7279748
>>7279780
Chapter 4 was already 33% done (by the previous and dearly missed TL) before the new TL touched it, but the new TL nonetheless is pretty fast. Chapter 3 is nearly double the lines of chapter 4, and he said he could have chapter 4 done by end of May at the earliest. But starting June, there'll be slowdowns since he'll be with school and part time job.

But, yeah. Early 2012 release is possible. I can't wait to play and discuss it.

How long until the next Little Busters patch now that the last two character routes are done? I want my Haruka.

>>7279822

I can't imagine it will be more than a couple days. They got the last patch out pretty quickly after the translation was done IIRC.

>>7279766

Well this is one of the dumbest things I've seen in a long time.

>>7279965
I doubt they really understand the amount of work it fucking takes, I have only done professional editing irl and I still marvel at the amount of work people do when translating VNs.
Doki is a fansub group and we all know that it doesn't take much effort to do.

>>7279997

Well asking for a translator pretty much dooms the project to failure disregarding everything else, but yeah. I doubt they really have any idea what they're getting into or what they're doing.

>>7279999
>You will be provided with the Japanese text to translate from
>One of my ambitions is to expand from fansubbing Anime, and make a move into the world of Visual Novels. And after recent developments, this is no longer a dream, but a possibility.

God bless the guy for trying but a. there is someone "working" on it b. the Key craze is in Rewrite and Little Busters! and c. there is a lot of work by someone to be recruited for meaning he has to want it more than anyone else.
The translator in the vast majority of cases is the leader and center point of the group. If I said that I wanted to start a project, Himawari for example, and made a thread on /jp/ I would get my ass laughed off of here if I said I was only an editor that couldn't read anything but english and spanish.

The engine has been cracked. We have decrypted and encrypted succesfully.
I am recruiting a translator to translate it, yes. But this does not mean that my other translators (who also translate anime) can't work on it in their spare time. A dedicated translator on it means that this can be finished faster than without one.

>>7279997
>>7279999
Read this in his post
>Doki has many translators, but all are involved in translating anime.
Yeah, he doesn't have a clue. Anime translators are not the same thing as VNs translators. I can't read a word of the language but I can watch anime just fine without fansubs.

>>7280100

The engine has been hacked for like 4 years. Hope you enjoyed wasting your time.

>>7280101
Anime episodes are also only about 450ish lines. Single lines, not three or four line text boxes worth of lines. So doing the equivilent work on a VN is probably around 200 lines.
You know what we call a project that averages 200 lines a week?
Fate/Hollow Ataraxia

>>7280039
I, for one, am pleased to see more groups trying to get into VN translation with different non-traditional approaches.

>>7280173
Oh you.

>>7280173
>450ish lines
>200
Now that is under the assumption that they can translate that much without context and that they can read well enough to even translate written text.

>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia
;_;...

>>7280175
But people wanting to get things translated without a translator happens all the time yet falls flat on its face enough so often that it isn't really a proven successful strategy.

>>7279999
Who knows, maybe they will actually pay for translator.
I do know that a lot of fansub groups actually pay/commission for a dedicated translator.

>>7280188
>Now that is under the assumption that they can translate that much without context and that they can read well enough to even translate written text.

Honestly, given how poorly animated many shows seem to be these days, VNs could be easier to translate since you could have voice and text instead of just voice.

She's blown hundreds of dollars to make the faggiest builds possible, she uses silly bullshit like obscuring her health bar and painting her builds so that no one can see the parts she uses(as if the builds aren't know to everyone who can just go spectate a cbjp crown game), and she alt-f4's from a match if she should start losing.

>>7280197
If what the other anon said is correct about anime really only being 200 lines an episode then that would be the equivalent of 100 of episodes of anime. It is also hard to find people that are good enough to read the text without the visual cues they get from anime and manga.

>>7280207
FYI, I got my numbers by opening up three Code Geass subtitle scripts I had handy. They were all about 470-490 lines long with about 25-30 lines of formatting and definitions in the header.

>>7280215
And they barely could keep their mouths shut on that show.

>>7280207
>without the visual cues
What does the 'V' in 'VN' stand for again?

>>7280276
Are you implying that a CG every once and awhile and some sprites are as much of visual cues as manga or anime?

>>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia- 49.0% translated, second partial patch out

Holy shit! Somebody did something! It's strange how this isn't getting translated faster considering how popular FSN is...was...whatever.

>>7280295
Project quagmire. I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought it'd be easier to just start it over from scratch instead of trying to fit together all the different pieces that now a dozen different people have worked on.

Good luck, Doki devs.

>doki

>>7280342

Moogy is such a fag.

>>7280101
>people that think they are good enough to sufficiently understand/translate anime but not VNs
lololol
Anyone who thinks like that clearly has poor metacognition.

Reminds me of that manga 'translator' who admitted, "I've only been studying Japanese for six months so far from watching anime fansubs, but I think I am good enough to translate manga now."

Almost made me want to translate it myself. :/

>>7280432
Why is moogy so mysterious? Maybe hes really in the mafia, using the money that he stole to take over the vn market, manga gamer and jast are just pawns in his hands.

so, is someone gonna pick steins;gate up eventually or are we doomed to wait for an official release which will never happen?

also, did the translators of Rewrite trial gave up until full version is released?

>>7281094
Do us all a favor and get out of /jp/.

So about those fonts. They explained:

>>7281136

>this anime
right...

>>7281136
what?

>>7281169
fonts used in graphics is hardly he issue in VN translation. God, they can use different fonts for every image and people won't even care. It's the script that matters

>>7281135
You don't have to worry about that. I don't really care about /jp/.
I was just checking out the status via a link someone sent, since my project's in this list.

>>7281176
yea. i know

>>7281136
Bah, if they're just worried about fonts in the graphics they can just re-edit every single picture with words on it and then join baka-tsuki with translation of the script.Those guys are idiots

Is the 20% patch for 11eyes for the trial or the whole game?
