I don't even know but probably some Mangagamer nukige.

Here's the thing:

JAST has some very cool licenses and a bunch of licensed games that aren't crappy sexfests with bad art. They have one fantastic translator and connections with good fan translators. Why can't they just get something done? Is it really all Nitro+ delays?

This is what I don't understand. Nitro+ clearly gave them permission to translate Saya, etc, or they wouldn't be advertising their work on them. Once you have licensed a title, how the fuck is the original Japanese company holding you up for months, years at a time?

Are they checking every line with the original creators? How terrible are these contracts? Why doesn't someone at JAST say "Hey, these delays are ridiculous?" Are these guys even running a business?

> New all ages title - in translation
Wait, wait, when and where the hell was this announced? Source on this? MangaGamer releasing a non-nukige is pretty notable news these days...let's hope it isn't a re-release or fandisc this time.

>>10558916
Alas, it's rarely that easy. It seems most Japanese companies are really anal about things, wanting to do the entire technical side of stuff among other things, leading to months-long waits for new engine builds and the like.

>Why doesn't someone at JAST say "Hey, these delays are ridiculous?" Are these guys even running a business?
They don't have the balls to do it for the hell of it, and no pressing need to publish the titles (they make plenty off nukige) so they keep to the safe route of nodding repeatedly and accepting anything. And when the fans complain, hey, it's not our fault! They're the ones causing the delays!

>>10559030
We can always create some. For example, I could just point out how Dra+Koi has made zero progress since February 4th, two days after Moogy's announcement he would resume work on the project, leading Ixrec not to translate it.

It's also the only project which is remotely interesting besides SubaHibi with a reasonably chance of getting finished in the foreseeable future.

Ixrec only translates flavor of the month stuff, TakaJun is busy with work, Makoto is trapped in the Eternal Hell of Delay which is called JAST and all the other people are only translating stuff which doesn't interest me at all. Good thing that I'm now able to read allmost all the untranslated stuff I want.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10563360

I think it's pretty obvious that mangagamer won't work on Umineko because the probability they'll lose lot's of money with it is quite high.

For now, my vote goes for Higurashi Rei however, I'm keeping an eye out because mangagamer was talking to a new company about story based stuff.

It's like Doki loves to do shitty speedsubs of anime, but when it comes to VN translating, they love to delay and make people wait for no apparent reason whatsoever. Same thing happened with Tomoyo After, you should know how much that one bombed thanks to their actions.

It's not like I can do anything if they're this shitty.

It's because Moogy has helped shape the community in various ways, along with his tinfoil friend, and he's helped/influenced Ixrec.

He is also the top reviewer right now while Ixrec was still struggling to read Umiunko in 2011, I wouldn't be surprised if Ixrec just took a sentence of what Moogy said and added games to his list.

These at the two that make me laugh the most. Parfait was never a project period. And Rance 6 was the one where the translator claimed to do 20,000 lines in two weeks, later admitted it wasn't true, and has since thrown up his hands and declared it to have hacking problems too severe to continue.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10575461
You misunderstand me. I'm saying weeks are more accurate because these updates are weekly. Unless someone actually went through the trouble of checking every single date first hand on the translator's website or IRC, that is.

You have a point though, months do give a better idea of what's going on.

Clannad has no proper translation because it's extremely fucking long and very few translators have interest in translating a game like that.

I think there is a difference between a horrible translation and one that is tolerable. People like Ixrec aren't great translators, but they still do a decent enough job.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10579630
Why are people so rustled over the prospect of someone releasing a potentially shitty patch for a game that most likely no one cares about anyway? No serious translator would consider a horrible patch to be a big barrier if they wanted to translate the game enough.

A myth. You think a good translator is going to look at a Cudder tier translation and say "Well, it looks like there's nothing for me to do here"? Of course not, that's completely ridiculous.

But even many games that are extremely worth it never get translated. You're acting like it's some kind of inevitability that every game that is at least somewhat decent will get a translation sooner or later, but it simply isn't true at all. I'd say it's worse than 1 in 50 that any given game will receive a translation project within the next five years, provided it's not something very high profile. It just doesn't make much sense to me to hold out on such long odds. And if you really are that patient it would be easier to just learn Japanese anyway and thus make the bad translation irrelevant.

If you're going to practice in translation, translate. If you're going to practice in hacking, hack. I think you should concentrate on translation first and then (having translated prologue/first day/chapter etc.) check whether you're determined enough to go until the very end. If you are, find out which engine VN in question is built on and then check whether it's already been hacked. Try arc_conv http://desu.ru/forum/topic/330/ and AnimED http://wks.arai-kibou.ru/ae.php - these can help you determine the VN's engine.
As for immediate future, I'd say translate into a simple text file using clear phrase separators to make (possible) future text reinsertion easy. For example, split phrases with an empty line and start choice lines with '*'
