I see Herkz has really convinced people that this lie is the truth. Only reason the translation never came out is because of internal Commie drama. They wanted to cut ties with Nanu so they shat on his translation and never released it so people wouldn't realize there weren't really any problems.

Because they're all really shitty cash ins with no effort put into them. Almost all simply put the anime's script into a different format. Some invent some kind of shit like a dream world (Shana) or amnesia (Toradora) as an excuse for going through literally the exact same thing. Others don't even try that hard. It's like watching a really fucking long recap montage. They're made for nobody but the mouthbreathing, drooling fanboys who have to own literally everything associated with an anime, and nobody else.

When people said his Japanese sucks, you said he's a native. That does not mean his Japanese does not suck, you illiterate dumbass. That does not mean he is incapable of making errors in understanding when reading it. Judging by what he writes in English, extremely major errors. Either his Japanese understanding is not 100% flawless as you seem to believe, or, as I said previously, his English must be so fucking atrocious that he strings together entire sentences having nothing to do with the Japanese. Those are your two options. Fucking pick one.

You probably know the feeling since your English is apparently shit too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12842831
I'm aware his translations read like shit and are pretty much horrible, but if anything it seems that these problems come mostly from a poor english comprehension. But yes, a native japanese can have poor reading comprehension. I still think calling him a native does imply to an extent that his japanese can't be bad, but there were assumptions from my side.

I think mangagamer's biggest fuckup was the pricing.

I mean, look at dovac's kickstarters for comparison. Clannad has 4000 backers, but 350 grand. Averaging 90 dollaridoos per person.

If 4000 people bought eden*mosiac, mangagamer would have... 60000 dollars. I don't think the fanbase is quite there yet for pricing that low.

They should have had mosiac launch at 25 dollars, and thrown in super ultra-limited-edition 1,000 dollar hardcopy+dakimakura+onahole shaped like doddler's anus signed by him editions for the suckers that have money to burn.

But Romanesque on steam is weird as hell. Even if they cut the h-scenes, there's all those loli nipples and the lewd card art and lewd events. Either they're going to horribly massacre the game or it'll be pushing the limits of what normalfags will tolerate.

Insem confirmed for janitor.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12847638
I think MG considered at least three variables regarding the price which are:
- Eden* is a high profile so it'll get more attention than the usual story-driven titles they release.
- Make the game accessible to be bought by those that don't have much money to spare and at the same time somewhat reduce the all out piracy that will happen once the game is released.
- Steam release.

With this said, I agree to some extent that the discount is a bit too much but given what MG is trying to achieve it may be their best move in order to get more people to buy Eden* plus mosaic version.

Now I only have a problem. MG Eden* page actually looks nice but I can't help but notice that I didn't freaking saw any news anywhere. Even on VNDB there's not a single post about Eden* release date. Right now, Eden* and the Supipara project is only being promoted through MG twitter, blog and forum. In other words, if I didn't check MG site, twitter, blog or forum I wouldn't even know of this and this is something that most people, even those that claim to be serious VN fans, don't do (and yes, I'm aware of some news sites mentioning both Eden* and Supipara when they were first announced). Quite frankly, Eden* and Supipara project are too under-promoted at the moment.

Well, I suppose Eden* will start to really sell when it's released but by then there won't be any discount on MG site so only time will tell how successful MG will be.

[Anonymous No.]

I disagree.

I really briefly worked on the project several years ago and did some editing. Since my Japanese is really elementary I copied several sentences and sent them to a fluent friend, while she phrased them better than the TL on the project, they were really functionally the same and she thought the translations were fine.

The only qualms I had with the project is that, at the time, they were using metric spelling and British terms. Also the the project was really slow so I felt like it needed more speed in the translating department to justify me sticking around as an editor.

But unless the whole staff has changed since I worked on it (which is possible) the translations checked out, or at least the sampling I did of them.

The PC version they released is already the PS2 port but with h-scenes added back in. It has all of the content new to the PS2 version, so all they have to do is cut at the same places they did for that version.

After playing a bunch of Romanesque, it really doesn't seem like a non-adult version would be a big deal. There isn't much ecchi at all and the h-scenes are almost all total non-sequiturs. So they just have to be halfway sensible in where they make the cuts and it will probably be fine.

It's totally possible. It's been forever since I worked on it, but at the time, everything had checked out, maybe things changed.

Which is unfortunate because some of the early script was good and I thought the editing passes I did were of decent quality and I was confident in the translations on those files, because, as I said, I sent samples for review. Granted, that's only like, 2 text files of a lot.

This is definitely not true. I think the only change to the PS2 version that was backported for EP was the game being fully voiced. The PS2 version has additional/modified CGs, events, and completely different gameplay. Here's the PS2 version's page. Watch the promos. There are CGs not in any PC version there.

Hay, how about we break it down and look at what's wrong with it?
白と茶色-> white and brown
基調-> basis or key
真新しい -> brand-new
洋風 -> western-style as seen by the Japanese. We in murika take western to mean cowboy/wild west looking.
外壁 -> outside/exterior wall

The biggest problem is the added redundancy in the line that is unnecessary and is more confusing than helpful in explaining the scene.

The brand new English-style (store) front was set in white and chocolate tones.

Yes, the words 外壁 have the literal meaning of exterior wall but it doesn't mean copy down the exact words to be right. If that was true then 不動産 would be unmovable products. No, we have words for things in English. It's real estate. Stop writing the definition of words and write the meaning of words.

Although, like Fuwanovel, I'm sure he rationalizes it as "It's a shitty game, I'm sure I'm good enough to get the gist of it, and accuracy doesn't matter because it's a moege."

12Riven is not an infinity game. It was intended to be the first game of a new trilogy (integral), but KID went bankrupt before they could finish 12Riven. Takumi Nakazawa, one of the two main people behind the infinity series (together with Uchikoshi), left KID before production on 12Riven started and as such he didn't work on it.

>>12842109
>>12842121
And you are new to VNs in general and to /jp/, aren't you? Please stop trying so hard to fit in.

The reason the Psycho-Pass game may be good is because the series was made by Gen Urobuchi (though he only did some minor supervision work on season 2). While to newer posters the name 'Urobuchi' may be more associated with edgy anime, before his anime debut he was one of the most famous VN writers. Unless there's news to the contrary, I'd assume the Psycho-Pass game will probably be written by Urobuchi and thus worth looking forward to.

>>12842149
That's not the real reason. Genuine machine "translations" aside, VN translation works very differently from anime and manga translation; it's tons and tons of work and you get practically no e-penis, so 'doing it for the e-penis' is not a thing among serious projects (though it does happen for machine translations and projects that are dropped before hitting 10%).

The real reason is that it's simply tons of work to translate a VN, so only the VNs that translators feel MUST be shared with more people get translated.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12848803
>I really briefly worked on the project several years ago and did some editing.
It's that several years that make the difference here. The Yosuga no Sora project started out well, and I played a bit of it back when the project was new (way before the C&D) and it was fine. All evidence since then suggests that things have taken a turn for the worst, though, with work being split among many translators and editors, most of which have no idea what they're doing.

>>12849196
>>12849204
The common route is most likely fine - it was back when I played it, and I doubt they'd actively go out of their way to make it worse. The sister's route was apparently translated by the original project guy so it should be acceptable, too, but I haven't played it myself.

>>12849707
>The brand new English-style (store) front was set in white and chocolate tones.
But that changes the meaning. When you say 'English', I think of British. On the other hand, I'm used to characters in Japanese works referring to 'Western style' architecture, food and clothing.

But regardless of your preference of wording, the translation of that line is fine. The only issue you could have is with the editing. (Personally, I'd leave it as-is except for maybe removing the word 'wall', since from context it's pretty obvious he's talking about the wall.)

Also, it's 'milf autist' (as in 'a person with autism'), and he's called that because of his obsession with milfs and because nobody on 4chan has any clue what autism is. His writing style is really sloppy and his rambling completely incoherent; it's as non-autistic as you can get, really.

Never. I can hardly bring up the motivation to finish stuff I loved (I read Forest until a late-game bad end all the way back in early 2012 but have yet to finish it), so stuff I simply can't get into gets dropped like a brick. (It's for this reason I still have yet to read Muv-Luv; Extra is just too terrible.)

I do sometimes sit through stuff that have at least some redeeming factors; I got through Little Buster's Komari route because it still had entertaining slice-of-life segments even through the drama was terrible (other than Kurugaya's I couldn't bring myself to finish any other routes, though), and though I find I/O's story very boring in the short term (it's just not fun to read), I find the long-term plot very interesting so I've slowly read my way to the end of Route E and plan to continue slowly reading until the end.

The problem with visual novels is getting them somewhere normal people will buy them, so all ages steam products sell very well because it satisfies that. There is no reasonable way to get 18+ content to normal people (outside of perhaps offering an upgrade to Kickstarter backers after bidding is closed). The question is do enough 18+ copies sell to make it worth while to have another release (probably not a huge bar because it's not much extra work, as long as they don't cause problems for all ages releases.)

If there isn't enough to make 18+ releases worth it, expect the future to be a ton of all ages releases with an occasional uncensored patch put out by Fuwanovel for bigger titles.

Well, as someone who doesn't know jap when I pay for a localized VN I expect its quality to be acceptable. By acceptable I mean english dialogue that flows well and doesn't have many types and a translation that manages to convey the original meaning. A company that fails to deliver on these aspects isn't worth supporting because it just shows their lack of respect not only for the original work but also for the people who'll buy their product.
It's completely beyond me how there are people that pay for VNs and barely care about this. And I'm not even a native american.

Wait seriously ? They said they hired the guy that translate Shingeki no Kyojin, it was a lie ? I heard some bit of the current translation were machine translation, they can't sell something like that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12863177
When they first announced they were releasing Clannad, they said it was a 'brand new version.' When pressed, they said it was from Doki, a group that has no translators and had years ago said that they were going to clean up the fan translation. So people started posting all the many problems with the fan translation and they finally said they were going to redo it from scratch and recruited that guy you mentioned.

But that said, it's one of the longest VNs ever made, this guy is doing it part time for chump change, and they plan to have the translation done in about 8-9 months. One person cannot possibly do that (with any quality) in their spare time in that time frame. So either it's going to take a lot more time than that, or maybe they're not being entirely honest when they said they're starting from scratch after everyone gives them all the money.

Since they've already released far subpar versions of NekoPara and Fault, you guess.

[Anonymous No.]

While I doubt that Sekai Project cares about the quality, if none of the BakaTsuki translators (as awful as they might be) are involved in the Doki editing project, I have to think that it is a potential PR problem if Sekai Project gets accused of "stealing the fan translation" and only paying Doki (who has only edited it) for rights to the translation that they had no rights to.

Also, I wish people would stop using 'machine translation' like some kind of buzzword. Machine translation is the very worst of all possible "translations"; comparing poor translations to machine translations gives people the idea that machine translations are somewhat acceptable since poor translations are frequently accepted. >>12849052 is machine translation: complete gibberish. The original Nekopara trial was very poor translation (and maybe, just maybe a well-interpreted machine translation): simple meanings are kept but anything complex is lost in translation. (Nekopara's translation has since been cleaned up, I don't know how accurate it is now.) World End Economica, at least the original DLsite version (not sure if it's changed since then, I don't think so) is sub-par translation: Though not grossly inaccurate, it doesn't read well at all. From what I can see, Fault is what I consider a decent translation: No major accuracy errors and while it's no literary masterpiece the text flows well enough to not disrupt the experience.

There's no technical work to be done. Giga's engine is fully reversed. However, Baldr Sky is gigantic and ever since moving to England and getting a job, he translates pretty slowly.

Because they simply don't care. As long as the translation is not MangaGamer Edelweiss, where the average reader regularly has a hard time reading the English sentence, the English community as a whole simply does not care.

The only way to turn "good translation" into a selling point is to sell on the reputation of a well known translator. MangaGamer can sell Gahkthun advertising that it is by the Grisaia translator for example. But Cartagra might have had a great translation, but there is nothing they can sell it on and it made a tiny difference in sales compared to having someone like the Imouto Paradise translator do it.

Because, if left on their own, they will release only nukige. Check >>12840779's chart. Just what non-nukige VNs did they release in two full years?

JAST:
Saya no Uta (had already been translated without a problem and released)
Yumina
Steins;Gate (proper retranslation)
Osadai fandisk (fandisk)
Romanesque

MangaGamer:
Tick! Tack! (fandisk)
Harukoi Otome
ef -the latter tale- (had already been translated without a problem and released)
Really?! Really! (fandisk)
d2b vs Deardrops (fandisk)
Cartagra (had already been translated without a problem; release delayed for several years for official release)

The previous two years were even worse, with MangaGamer only releasing Otoboku, ef the first tale, Dengeki Stryker, Deardrops and Kara no Shoujo - one already translated and released, one already translated and delayed for official release, two Overdrive titles (read: free licenses) and Otoboku.

JAST managed to do even worse with only Demonbane (delayed translation for official release), Aselia (already translated), Osadai (delayed translation) and School Days (delayed translation).

Back when MangaGamer was new, I found a pattern in JAST's release patterns: The quantity and quality of JAST's releases are directly correlated to the quality of the competition they face. With no competitors releasing good games, they release only garbage, and vice versa. (The famous Nitro+ deal came into being when MangaGamer suddenly started kicking their ass hard.) Now, several years later, I am noticing that MangaGamer is starting to do the same thing as well. Without Moenovel shaking things up we'd hardly be seeing any decent releases, and without Sekai Project offering serious competition we wouldn't be seeing this many good releases at the end of the year and even more coming in the future.

In a more serious interpretation, them still being in the red implies their kickstarter campaigns don't give them immediate money (otherwise they'd be filthy rich by now) - most likely they won't be paid until project completion or something like that. A move towards more immediate funds would likely include more releases like Sakura Spirit.

Personally, I'd take endless kickstarters over shitty OELVNs any day.

If you're seriously suggesting that MG only picked up all it's good upcoming shit because of SP's influence, I think you need to reexamine the timeline of those announcements (and recall that licenses are usually negotiated a ways in advance of announcing them). SP wasn't any kind of serious threat until AX 2014 when they announced Planetarian and Grisaia––MG would have already had all their titles that they announced that year acquired for months by this point.

Are you retarded? Deal with Liar-soft, for example, was in process long before SP appeared. Pretty much everyone who cares about VN scene knew about it even back in autumn of 2013.
Each MG license takes about year of negotiations and groundwork before it is announced, so none of their big stuff was affected by SP.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12866503
Unless you're going with the 'anything dovac says is 100% lies and serves only to make him even richer' approach, the tweet implies that their current situation leaves them in the red. Their kickstarter campaigns net them tons of money, leaving only two options:
a) Their expenses are even greater than the money they get from their kickstarter campaigns (even someone often accused of being a 'Sekai shill' like me would agree that Sekai is clearly making big cash with their kickstarters, this possibility seems very unlikely); or
b) They do not consider the kickstarter money part of their general company funds (because it's reserved for the execution of the project and they're likely bound by contract to keep it reserved).

If you have a better theory of why Sekai is in the red despite makings tons of cash, with 'even more kickstarters' somehow being a solution to that, I'd love to hear it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12866508
Having licenses and releasing titles are two entirely different things, as JAST has made very, very clear over the past decade. While it's hard to clearly determine when a company is 'sitting on a license' and 'rushing a game to the market', it is without a doubt related to the pressure the company feels to release games in order to remain relevant. The most obvious example was Family Project's extremely rushed 2009 release to compete with MangaGamer. MangaGamer has similarly been sitting on Cartagra's license for years - it wouldn't surprise me if MangaGamer conceded a bit in negotiations (say, giving IG a better share of the sales) (or if MangaGamer had even already licensed Cartagra but had been sitting on it for a long time) so they could release it in time to stay relevant in the VN market.

Furthermore, it definitely has an effect in choosing which titles to license (and how much to spend on those licenses). JAST's licensing history is a very clear example; you can see their licensing decisions ebb and flow according to the competition at the time (with the biggest peak being their Nitro+ deal, announced when they were being outcompeted hard). MangaGamer announced Gahkthun, their biggest title yet, at AX 2014, after Sekai Project started to become a serious competitor. Do you think it's a coincidence? With my past experiences with VN localization companies I'd say it's anything but a coincidence.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12866567
>Deal with Liar-soft, for example, was in process long before SP appeared.

Yes, negotiations were ongoing since before the MLA/Sharnoth debacle. But negotiations aren't some loading bar that fills itself over time. Once the balance shifts such that one company is offering enough to make the other companies agree, most of the negotiation work is done and only some bureaucracy is left. I'd say the length of the negotiation efforts only confirm that the market situation was essential to completing negotiations, if anything. (After all, MangaGamer suddenly offering more makes the other parties far more likely to agree.)

>Pretty much everyone who cares about VN scene knew about it even back in autumn of 2013.

Uh, no they didn't. While I no longer have the connections I used to have so I'm not aware of what the 'inner circles' know anymore, it didn't get discussed on #tlwiki (and with that spreading to the rest of the internet) until right before AX. Autumn 2013 was WAY before that. If you're going to make questionable statements like these, I'd like to see some evidence.

From what I remember about kickstarter only the money from the kickstarter can only be put towards the project being kickstarted, so it is really hard to move money around to anything else.

And MangaGamer wasn't any kind of serious threat until AX 2009 when they announced Shuffle! and Higurashi (don't laugh, those were relatively huge licenses back in the day). But JAST correctly predicted by their lesser releases beforehand that MangaGamer was an upcoming big threat and started negotiating with Nitro+ and "finishing" Family Project.

The thing about KS money is that it means your operating expenses are effectively zero. And they're saying it covers their licenses too. So... their licenses are paid for with plenty to spare. The cost of localization yet to be done is paid for with plenty to spare. Distribution is done through an outside service. So... What's left? Paying the CEO and head licensor's salaries for... setting up KS pages?

[Anonymous No.]

Have you ever seen a contract? Any decent contract will state when which party is to be paid. And it is utterly retarded to pay a big sum up front because penalizing people for breaking a contract (beyond not holding up your end of the contract they broke) is extremely difficult. I very much doubt their contracts just state all of the money immediately goes to Sekai's general funds and everything is funded from there.

What you probably don't realize is that 'being in the red' is very different from 'not having money'. It just means that the company's general funds (i.e. the money they just have and can spend on whatever they like) are negative (they have more debts than general funds). They have a lot of money with which they can't repay their loans because they won't get any for general company use until the project is completed.

>>12866635
It still costs money to set up the company and pay taxes (bureaucratic stuff), to travel for negotiating stuff and for PR (like holding panels at conventions), having a site made and hosting it, and who knows what other expenses are involved.

>Paying the CEO and head licensor's salaries for... setting up KS pages?
Don't underestimate this part. Even if the employee doesn't do much, they still need to get paid because living simply costs money. And if they don't get that money, they quit, and if they occasionally did do something essential you NEED the employee. And employees are very expensive. When you look at the numbers it seems ridiculous compared to your personal income, but companies operate on a completely different financial level in which huge costs like those of employees are among the minor costs.

Steins;Gate is a clear kamige you have to at least try. I've yet to see anybody actually dislike it, while many consider it the best VN they've read.

Danganronpa 2 (read DR1 first if you haven't read it yet; it MUST be read before 2) is a must-read if you liked DR1; it's simply more and better Danganronpa. If you haven't read DR1, I'd say it's worth trying but it's not for everyone; opinions range from 'one of the best VNs ever' to 'terrible' due to its polarizing unique style.

I've heard Ayakashibito is a really good chuuni (over-the-top fantasy action) game, but I haven't played it myself.

Air is a Key game and that should say enough about whether or not you want to play it.

I/O may be worth a try if you liked the infinity series, or perhaps also if you didn't like the infinity series since it's pretty different. It's an incredibly complicated but slow-paced science fiction story with tons of DEEP symbolism involving Babylonian mythology, computers and the nature of reality, among other subjects.

You can pretty much consider they are fooling a lot of people.

Here's my march post where I've listed games they licensed way before announcement, https://archive.moe/jp/thread/11971097/#11986562, and I knew about liarsoft deal for a long time at that point.

Noticed this too.
I thought it was strange because Mangagamer for example always writes on their website if the VN has mosaics or not. It's a crucial information.
And then there's Sekai pro- I mean, Denpasoft, who completely hides this fact and shows this misleading CG with no mosaics. I am sure a lot of their customers expect the game to be uncensored (why wouldn't it be? It's released outside of Japan after all).

Seriously, fuck Denpasoft. I bought the Japanese release (4000 yen for the game, an artbook, a calendar and the opening/ending themes on a CD). Way cheaper and better.

It's okay friend, Shitkaku was probably paid off to write something good about the game. Since they couldn't find anything, they just went with just-avoid-crossing-the-line phrases.

Notice how they had time for this VN but not the VN that was kickstarted which they blamed the VAs for the delay. Funny stuff.

Delay? It was canceled and they're keeping the money.

>Nekopara has 741 digital sales through English DLSite thus far, not huge but not nothing either. The Denpasoft hard copy will probably do poorly because of low visibility and 2 month delay, unless it also goes through JList.

Up to 1300 downloads now through DLSite, plus whatever they got for the box.
