>Air -New team working on it from the beginning
It would be interesting to compare the amount of time Air has been "in translation" (not counting times when there was no active--by vntl status standards -- project). Anyone care to run up a percent?

>Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni -3785 / 803 (47.13%) lines translated

>>8287895
>Air - New team working on it from the beginning
So, all of the progress in some previous threads are lost or what?

>>8287958
they decided working on it from beginning because controlling or retranslating would be more work

>>8287958
If you saw the quality of what was already translated you would want them to start from the beginning too.

Wait?
So what is not translated in TH2?
So lets say if I go after Tamanee would everything be in english? What about the common route?

>>8288150
>would everything be in english?
No. All the Tama-nee events and her route would be in English (assuming no hiccups like the last patch and her H scene translation not being included, of course), as would all the events for other characters, but not every scene would be translated.

lack of Yosuga no Sora updates for a month are already worrying me again...

>Osananajimi wa Daitouryou

Any idea if this will be releasing soon? Haven't been really following it. It does say late December but I'm not entirely sure.

>>8288150
Sasara and Ruuko are what's left untranslated, according to the readme

I come to these threads every week hoping deep inside that I'll see Muv Luv Altered Fable.

It's never going to happen, is it?

Best thread of the week is finally here! Merry Christmas, VNTS guy!

>>8288271
I thought it got localized.

>>8288298
No.
No one wants to touch rUGP and besides, unless the translator really loves Muv-Luv, there's not much incentive towards doing it, and in that case, something like TDA00/01 would benefit more from a translation as TDA01 is better than Before the Shimmering Time Ends, by quite a margin which is only really good for the "healing" bit which suffers from pacing problems and stretching the one joke much too far, as well as the cock sucking TDA00/01 would presumably produce.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Before the Shimmering Time Ends quite a bit, but I don't know if I could say I like it better than TDA01.

Before the Shimmering Time Ends, also has Volleyball hell, and all the other gameplay stuff AF has could also make hacking more difficult, but I don't know anything about that.

>>8288304
Merry Christmas to you too anon and to all of /jp/. This is the best thread of my week and it seems that everyone is releasing partial patches this week.

Togainu actually updated this week, a new patch came out with Keisuke and Motomi's endings.

>Aroduc has been working on something new, though has yet to reveal the title. ~62159 /76521lines translated, First route done
WHAT IS IT

I actually believed those Baldr Sky christmas partial release... I am not only sad, I am full of self hatred...

>>8288659
Wondering this as well. He says he's completed 62159/76521 lines, and just now completed the first route. So what does that mean? An extremely long common route, and then very short routes? Or has he just been hopping around and not translating the routes in any particular order?

>>8288730
Christmas ain't over. Keep hoping, Rika.

>>8288659
Prism Ark.

>>8288762
Either or, really. Like one title I was reading a while back, the common route was was 30-40 hours or so long at the rate I was reading, but the character routes were 3-5 each.
Could depend on how the scripts/lines are arranged too.

>>8288769
Kozukuri Banchou

Was anyone else really surprised the first time they saw/heard Riki in Little Busters?

>>8288789
Yeah, I am not used to the whole shota as a protag thing. Not that I hate it, it is just a little new to me. Great game though.

>>8288789

I'd already known how he looked long before I actually played the game, but yeah, I can see why you guys would be shocked. He's so... little.

>>8288835
He's also a real wuss.

He is unable to look after himself.

>>8288789
Yeah, I mean with the protagonists in previous Key games, I would've expected Kyousuke to be the main character.

>>8288872

Terrible fucking protagonist.

I'd kill to have Yuchi from Cube3 as the protagonist. What a man.

>>8288844

He does man up a fair bit, when he has to, though.

You guys gone through Mio's ending yet? It was awesome.

>>8288872

Kyousuke is too insane to be the main character.

>>8288911
I've finished the game. He's still too effeminate for my tastes, although I was raised in the old British way.

Kyousuke isn't too insane to be the main character but his social skills are far too good.

>>8288271
Per JAST's site:
>The latest word is that printing will finish late next week, so keep your eyes peeled for further announcements!
That was posted on the 14th, so theoretically it should ship any time now.

>Irotoridori no Sekai - 11,000/51,105 (21.52%) lines translated, up through chapter 7 translated, prologue patch released

This isn't a tech support thread but am I supposed to see this and then have the game crash?

Stop being so gay, Riki is super cute.

>>8288804

>>8289741
Irotoridori no Sekai.

>>8289394
Yeah, not just the Unicode, but the region itself has to be set to Japanese. Hoshimemo's English patch lets it work on non-Japanese region though.

> Baldr Force Exe - Project starting up

Are the Baldr VNs really still beeing translated? I haven't seen new info (or %s) about them for ages.

>>8290103
But this is the first time I'm posting in this thread ;_;

What about the images in princess maker 5?
Have they re-included them yet?

>>8290082
EXE had a project on TLWiki which got C&D'd. Then some Hongfire member started a translation, which has apparently gone nowhere. There is a full Chinese translation, though.

Sky had a trollslation project and a pitiful attempt by Strato which IIRC progressed by about 6% between 2008 and 2011.

>>8290138
Ok. Thank you.

>>8287922
I thought that the Gothic Delusion translation patch was dead.

>>8290138
Where is the chinese translation?
I want to play that.

>>8290156
If you are good enough to read the Chinese patch you should be able to find the DL links on this page.
http://bbs.seikuu.com/thread-59780-1-1.html

>>8288659
I've said it before, but Aroduc's project is Kamidori.
If you even bothered to visit IRC, you'd find it's not much of a secret.

>>8289982

And about a head shorter than the rest of the male cast, yes. Boy is little.

>>8290946
Well, being shorter than Kengo and Masato is kind of expected, because of their archetypes, and Kyousuke is a year older, isn't he?

>>8291211
yes, it's also mentioned Riki grew taller half a year after the incident in Refrain's epilogue

>>8290781
Oh wow, I had been thinking lately that I couldn't believe no one had picked up Kamidori, I was starting to think I'd just end up having to play it untranslated. Never played it back when it came out because I don't waste my time on untranslated games that I anticipate getting translated, would prefer to spend that time on stuff that will never get translated.

Now I have something else to look forward to besides Forest and MGQ2

>>8289394
Thanks, it works like a charm. I went to their blog and they said the prologue was short but I didn't think it would be that short.

The shortest prologue patch I have ever played was Concerto Note, it took me a minute to read.

>>8291211
>>8291223

Well, that's cute.

He'll never have a manly face though.

>>8291517
Maybe he can grow a beard.

creator of Yu-No and EVE passed away...

>>8289995
>Hoshimemo's English patch lets it work on non-Japanese region though.
Really? My system locale is set to Japanese anyway, so I've never tested it on English locale. Though if you mean the timezone thing, then yeah, it kinda just happened when we were playing around with the exe...

>>8291531

Japanese men can't grow beards. They look like Mexicans when they try, it's disgusting.

I finished the Irotoridori no Sekai patch just right now. I have a feeling that I will like the childhood friend so much more that the main girl that I will just tune out any scene that has the main girl. I hate it when VNshave a great heroine but the story keep forcing the shitty ones down your throat.

>>8292707
The osananajimi is fine, but who the fuck likes her more than Shinku? Seriously, that's fucked up. You might want to get your eyes checked.

>>8292721
I thought the main girl was that red head that was on top of the lighthouse. Shinku is love though and I like her as much the childhood freind.

All I want for Christmas is a Subarashiki Hibi translation.

>>8292751
That project got dropped. Playing LoL is more important.

>>8292741
http://g-seeker.net/game/a/irotori.html
4 routes, then true route. True route is Shinku route.

>>8292707
nothing will be as bad as princess waltz

>>8292707
>>8292721
>>8292741
Lol thinking inferior-Asuho is the main heroine.

Also, Kyou is awesome. Can't quite rank Tsukasa/Shinku yet, though I like both. I'm meh on the other two.

>>8293356
Yeah, fuck Chris.

>>8288637
Where can said patch be found? All I see is links to yaoi forums requiring signup, to which I say no thank you.

Shinku's route canonically makes all other routes as if they never happened, every.
Enjoy your unimportant filler heroines.

Years of waiting, and still no 11 eyes. Could have probably learned Japanese by now if I were not so lazy.

>>8294848
Which considering how increedibly boring they were, was a kick in the balls.

11 eyes is being translated 1 line per month, expect the release the next millenium.

Osadai is shipping this week.

What's the thing that shot up at #2 on Erogamescape?

>>8297765
That's Ixwreck-chama's future translation project: White Album 2.

>>8298024
Right after Baldr Sky, right?

>>8297765
How did you get to the 'highest rated' page again? Anyways, looking at the recent releases, I assume you're referring to White Album 2? For some inexplicable reason it has 99/90 at 82 (yes, that is eighty-two) votes. Not only that, there's barely any variation in the votes - 71 out of 82 votes are 90+, with only 2 votes slightly below it, the rest all belonging to the occasional people who simply don't like the story (i.e. there is likely nothing objectively wrong with it) (of the other votes, 4 are in the 60~69 range, 1 in the 50~59 range, 1 in the 10~19 range and 3 in the 'hater' 0~9 range).

Sounds like a surprise hit, like Steins;Gate (which had 97/somewhere in the 90s at release, currently 95/89).

Other than Maruto being like one of the most loved scenario writers ever.

Starting White Album 2 tomorrow when my download finishes. Waiting warmly.

Blame Subahibi and Irosekai and Kamidori and now WA on top of that for my lack of translation progress.

Yeah who'd have ever thunk people would love the shit out of a Maruto game!? He's such an obscure writer after all.

>>8298024
Fuck that, I'm going to work on it.

As soon as I figure out how to use a proper comma instead of a Japanese one, and how to replace the in-game font with a better English tga.

>>8288730
I'm the one who started it, but with obvious sarcasm and even a "you'd like that, wouldn't you?" in the same post. I didn't expect it to be played along with, but in any case, I'm sorry anon.

>>8291844
That's sad to hear, specially when I've yet to read his work.

>>8298772

Maybe we'll see release this year.

>>8299769

Still need to fix the damn font and the commas.

>>8299951

>>8299951

How big is the script size? I've been curious since I started reading it.

>>8299951
I love you.

>>8299964
~4mb

>>8299961
I wub you too.

>>8299960
Gee, thanks.

>>8299980
Borderline kiminozo then. Though it's intro+closing.
If you are going to translate it, you also need to create those text boxes out of nothing for the radioshows.

>>8299995
To put things in perspective, IC is only around 600kb.

I'm hoping to get someone to help out with the hacking etc. If nothing, I'll rely on txt files like the one in MLA.

"My Girlfriend is the President is back from the printers and will be shipping from San Diego this week"
http://www.jastusa.com/president-shipping

Anyone mind giving me a bit of help on YU-NO?

I'm on Kanna's route - second day - after the detective Houjou phones you up and tells you he wants to meet in the park later. I'm supposed to talk to students at the school hall then go to the City and come across Ryuuzouji but I can't get it to trigger?

>>8300404
You have to speak with every student. What you're messing up is probably the girl at the right side of screen, you have to click her face to talk to her, not the body. Otherwise you'll just grope her.

>>8300074
Yeah, it's a shame. But the radio shows tell you about Senouchi Akira so tehya re a must understand part.

From the comments of White Album 2 it seems the high ratings are due to a very dramatic plot.

It doesn't look like an happy ending kind of thing.

>>8300474
There's also a pretty major announcement made later on via the radio show.

>>8300518
Depends on which route you consider your true end.

>>8300518
>It doesn't look like an happy ending kind of thing.
It has a lot of drama, yes. But it isn't overplayed and ends up in really heartwarming ways after the shit you go in some routes.

>>8300466
Thank you so much! I've spent ages trying to figure it out and this is my last route but I never realised you could click her face to speak to her.

Just thought I'd let everyone know the 11eyes translation is fine.

>>8301218
If the rest of it is like this, I will have no issues with this translation.

>>8301253
Let me revise this. The translation seems fine, but fix the fucking font, it's very ugly.

>>8301269
>>8301253
You should probably tell a staff member that instead.

Where can I find a save file for Togainu no Chi?
I tried google but I didn't find one.

Well, not a lot of drama this week ;_;

"Cartagra - Initial translation complete, future is unknown"

Any news about Cartagra? I didn't hear any since the C&D.

>>8304415
Mangagamer is waiting for more sales of Kara no Shoujo before selling Cartagra. Which means it will never be released.

>>8304268
There's always that touhou video where Moogy talks like a total ass.

In other news....
To get Kara no Shoujo released the translator had to translate two shitty nukiges for mangagamer!

They also paid him in coupons! Of course someone who knows Japanese needs to read translations~

>>8304609
I guess he bought Go go nippon, then.

ive been meaning to ask,

who does these translation status updates?

>>8304937
It's a guy who lurks IRC channels and stuff with an inconspicuous name, kindly asking project members to give him updates if they don't make public announcements.

He only uses the VNTS tripcode to post the updates. He's anonymous otherwise.

Who's the new guy translating Yandere?

The gurodaisuki blog seems as dead as ever.

>>8304609
>To get Kara no Shoujo released the translator had to translate two shitty nukiges for mangagamer!
Wait, what? The translator was forced to work at shit compensation so that KnS could be released at all?

>>8304995
Welcome to capitalism.

>>8304995

If I were him I would have honestly pulled an Amaterasu and chucked the patch onto the internet right then and there.

Shikiller I think.

Paid in coupons? Bullshit, no one would put up with that.

>>8290136
bump for this.

On a serious note, is there actually someone translating SubaHibi right now?

>>8305128
Koto said he will when he released his april fools patch

>>8305128
I have a gut feeling SubaHibi is the current project by that man who did Flyable Heart and My Childhood Friend Is A Shemale (was it called like that? I don't remember...).

>>8305187
>My Childhood Friend Is A Shemale

Oh, wait, I have found it: "Lover is Male Daughter."

>>8305182
Really? On his TLWiki page, it does list 'secret project' as a potential future project, but...

>>8304995

HURR THE ENGLISH VN INDUSTRY IS IMPORTUNT DURR

Fuck, I hope Blick Winkel gets what's coming to him for selling the S;G translation to JAST. Yes, he did this. Go try asking Steiner, he'll ignore you, which proves it.

>>8305441
Gets what's coming to him? JAST actually PAYS their translators.

>>8304937
Dan88. Look him up on #tlwiki

>>8305441
where is the logic

SubaHibi is at roughly 2000 lines translated if anyone cares~

>>8305554
Machine translation doesn't count,Koto.

>>8305441
You sound mad. Are you mad?

I checked up on the guys doing 死神の接吻は別離の味 and they've done 10% in 5 weeks, which would seem pretty good if it weren't for the fact that it equates to less than 2000 lines. Is the VN really that short?

>>8305590

I'm mad because JAST has a habit of delaying projects by two or three years rather than releasing them in a timely manner.

>>8306234
Nonsense. I bet you can't even name four JAST-licensed fan translations which have been released at a later time than they would have been had they not been picked up.

>>8306743
What about all the games that already WERE released that they took a year or so to release again?

>>8306748
Name the ones that took a year to be released and were polished and ready to be released as a fan translation patch before they got picked up.

>Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - The Code Name is "Shield 9"

There was a patch just released for this, why isn't it here?

>>8307058
Because this is the first update it's had since February? And at this pace, only another 3 years until they finish.

>>8306743

Sumaga, Demonbane, and Osadai. That's only three, but MangaGamer pulled the same shit with Kara no Shoujo and nearly with MLA.

>>8306966

Sumaga was half-complete when they picked it up two years ago. Demonbane was nearly completed and it took them three years to release it.

Steins;Gate was 100% translated and unofficially released, and it'll probably be out in 2015 at this rate.

>>8307116
>>8307133
>Demonbane
one route is 'nearly completed' now?

>>8307133
>Steins;Gate was 100% translated and unofficially released, and it'll probably be out in 2015 at this rate
People are still taking that shit seriously? Morons.

>>8307116
>>8307133
Here's how I know you're both retarded.

Demonbane only ever had 1 route translated before it got picked up. You guys actually got more out of the JAST deal than you would have previously. Sumaga and Osadai were well known to have poor translations so there was much work to be redone there.

If you really consider those things on your list to be polished and ready for release then just read the Steins;Gate patch released on the translator's blog since anything better would be lost on you.

WHILE WE ON THE TOPIC OF SUMAGA RETRANSLATIONS THERE WAS DRAMA I MISSED WASNT THERE

>>8307146

It's true. Mark my words.

>>8307116
>Sumaga
But Sumaga was never released by JAST.

>>8307314

It got picked up by them though.

>>8307287
It's based on someone seeing that Blick Winkel's TLWiki page has "Support JAST's Localizations" on it, but not realizing that it hasn't been updated since 2010 when he was editing some Nitro+ thing.

>>8307325

No, I'm basing it off Blick going AWOL and Steiner refusing to comment on the project's current condition other than confirming that it isn't dead.

>>8307334
Maybe Steiner refusing to comment is because Blick was the one doing all the work and he doesn't want to admit that.

How much did the bundle used to cost?

>>8308113
30. i think

>>8308040
I smiled.

>>8308040
$25 for a 4h VN, nice. Guess JAST and Nitro+ couldn't resist the glitter of gold after all.

>>8308472
It's what they usually cost.

may i ask what happened to Sanarara english patch?
vndb says it's complete but i cant find any download link.

>>8308496
>vndb says it's complete
How high are you?

>>8308512
ow sh.... My bad, sorry.
I guess i need some sleep.
Thanks anyways.

>>8305128
There was a project and it died. I've been trying to put it back together but the main TL'er is MIA (playing LoL all day) and one of the editors has completely disappeared as far as I can tell. I've been contemplating doing it myself but I'm slow as fuck and go to college, so I have no time to do a full project of 50,000 fucking lines.

A week ago the main TL'er said he would come back and work on it, and yet he's done fucking nothing since. I'm pretty much convinced he was bullshitting me.

Overall, the project has had no progress for about 5 weeks. I might be able to finish Rabbit Hole I myself, but I really doubt I can do the whole 50,000+ lines without help. There are some scenes in the game that I'm really not confident I have the skill to do, and I was never supposed to be the main translator in the first place. I started out just doing the porn because no one else wanted to, but then no one else wanted to do anything fucking else either.

>>8308583
It's not like people read VNs for anything else than the porn: just release a partial patch with all the sex scenes translated, it will be more than enough.

>>8308596
...Do you know what the porn in Subahibi is like? Almost all of them are nightmare fuel, and most of the ones that are fappable turn into nightmare fuel later on when you learn more about the story.

>>8308640
>nightmare fuel
it wasn't all that bad, except for one scene where I genuinely felt a bit of discomfort
lots of nukige have way worse "WHAT" material going on, most of the fetishes in subahibi are pretty tame

>>8307381
But Steiner always mentioned that Blick was the main translator, so that can't be it.
I guess he's just not allowed to say anything.

>>8308583
Sounds like Koto.

>>8308663
The ones in down the rabbit hole and looking glasss inscests true end are horrible.
The rest are fine, but I've never been a fan of teh ones in jabberwocky concerning Hasaki

>>8307116

Demonbane was 50% done and the translator refused to work on anything other than Al route.

Sumaga said 80% done before it was picked up at AX but it apparently had huge chunks of text missing from the scripts that the translator marked completed, and the translator had a horrible grasp of japanese resulting in many mistls, which Jast has to go through and fix.

The Osadai translator barely knew Kanji when they began translating, I don't think there's anything more I have to say about that translation.

GET OUT KS DEV

>>8309480
Wasn't the Sumaga translator from here?

>>8308496
if it ever gets completely translated,I wonder how many nutbladders will survive when they see widefaces getting wider down there....

>>8308934

Isn't Steiner the project head?

Anyway, do they have an irc channel?

>>8309540
Yes, it was one of those "I'll translate a game to learn japanese" people

>>8310468
Yeah he headed it and did most of the announcements and PR, as well as some translation of the script. But he openly said several times that Blick ended up doing most of the actual translating due to his fast pace.
I think their IRC was #VNTP on rizon but it's pretty dead.

>>8308478
increasing the price on two VNs that have been translated for years sounds like a dumb idea, but it's not like they've got much to lose I guess. Sounds like N+ insisted on the traditional otaku merchandizing strategy of charging the maximum price point per unit in all circumstances. American markets don't work that way, but it's not like the change is that outrageous or anything. But it's very dumb to abruptly change price like that. That move will upset people

bumpin from page 9

>>8308583
This sounds like a case of where even if the guy does decide to translate it, he'll do less than 20% or so and then it'll stall forever. But, if you're that eager to see it translated, I'd say work on it yourself and maybe have the other guy QC it or try to find someone else to. Ixrec would probably be up for it, and he's QCed a project in the past.

>>8305441
He doesn't, I asked him last Friday (or was it Thursday). He says he doesn't know shit about Blick, and will wait a little more before doing the shit himself.

I don't know about the reliability of his statements, but I personally believe him.

Page 13 bump.

I wish someone would translate and patch Hime to Boin and Gothic Delusion...

>>8316514
Do it.

>>8316514
Thanks for bringing these two titles to my attention kind anon. I'll start working on Gothic Delusion effective immediately.

>>8316609
You're awesome :)

>>8316624
You're gullible.

>>8316514
I'm working on both. Expect a patch next Sunday and next Tuesday, respectively.

>>8318337
You're awesome too.
