While I hate SJW stuff, this kind of impotent bitching is just as silly. MG can do whatever it wants because it has power in the industry. It achieved that power by consolidating large enough of an audience base and establishing a foothold that no amount of moral harassment will be able to demolish. Whoever has power sets up the morals and norms of the industry. What are you hoping for, that some Peter Thiel-esque eroge fan billionaire who happens to frequent this board will bankroll a lawsuit against them? Not gonna happen. Neither will asking for a boycott help since people who buy their stuff have already bought into their point of view, while OAGers and whatnot can make a lot of noise but were never a part of their market in the first place. Everyone who willingly buys their product already does not care about 'fragile male egos' and all that shit.

The only thing one can do is to make a TL company to go against them or to try and flood out their products with FanTLs. Of course, none of the lazy bastards here are going to do anything of that sort. That's because nobody here is actually passionate enough to sit down and translate a whole VN or fiddle with the business side of things. That requires actual hard work, that the trannies and cartel members are willing to do because they have tied their work to their identity and are willing to stake a whole life on it. Whether you agree with them or not, they have gained power in the industry because of that, and thus they dictate things. And the VN industry is so niche that no bigger players will be attracted to the arena since there isn't much profits, while those thay already exist earn enough to float by. In other words its a stalemate. And will continue to be a stalemate until someone here is ballsy enough to consolidate a company or movement against them. But JOPs here have no reason to care about EOPs, and EOPs have no ability to actually translate things.

Well, guess what, you're all fucked.

accurate.

someone was saying that MG "was finished" after the recent controversy and I couldn't help but laugh. if anything Fata Morgana probably got a lot of extra sales because it was free publicity on a relatively niche game.

as bad as the trannylators are, they aren't going anywhere. they are established themselves in the industry and they only hire their own. either suck it up or learn Japanese, as you say.

>(if it's just barely)
Kindred Spirits, euphoria and PE all came out leading up to Haruka's release date. I think they were doing just fine beforehand.
I don't give a shit about this current drama, but MG really need to get with the times and licence some newer games. Some other gripes I have are the types of VNs they licence, some of this shit is actually below nukigegamer standards and also their pricing, every other company is selling their VNs for around $30-$35 while MG is selling older, less known games and sometimes nukige for $45.
Magic and Slash + Ritaania are probably two of the worst games on their whole catalog, who the fuck decided they would be a good idea to licence? Even if they're short and take almost no effort to translate it still takes up time and a slot on their monthly releases which could have been used to release a game that people actually want to play, but instead it shifts everything in their backlog back a month.
Most people hated Trinoline and it didn't sell well, so why translate it the fandisc? I know it was probably dirt cheap to licence and NNL probably told them to do it, but it's a huge waste of resources.
The cat/dog girl cafe games might have been a good choice 5 years ago, but that train has already passed many years ago, not even Sekai could reproduce the Nekopara hype with Nekonin, I don't know why MG thought they could with these two games that no one has heard of before.
There's also Uchi no Kanojo which could maybe be a step in the right direction depending on how much they sell it for, the whole point of single heroine games are that they're supposed to be cheap, if MG decide to sell it for something like $20 then it'll be a terrible decision.
I'm glad they finally seem to be stopping with the Ammolite kusoge that no one liked, but again what the fuck were they thinking?

I can only hope that their licences this year actually include something decent, but they seem to be struggling to release their survey results + hints and we're only a few days away from the date Anime Central would have been, so my hopes aren't really all that high.

i doubt they would have pursued Trinoline FD if it didn't sell well at all.

honestly there just isn't that much that interests me insofar as possible licenses are concerned from them, at least from their current partners. other than Alicesoft games, obviously. I wish Conjueror was still around as presumably he pushed for Damekoi, which was honestly my favorite release from any company in the past 5 years. say what you want about the guy about at least he was willing to push for something that wasn't just another bogstandard moege. i am presuming we'll get an Evenicle 2 license this year, and possibly an Amakano one if their parent company actually cared for that poll they put out, but, eh

Unless it had a consistent tail in sales then I don't know how it could have, it was pushed out of the MG top 5 in a couple of weeks and only peaked at like 20 players on steam.
>i am presuming we'll get an Evenicle 2 license this year
I don't know if they will since Evenicle 2 is long as fuck and MG only really seem to be announcing things when they're almost fully translated or already translated. I'll agree about Conjy-poo though, it's a shame he went and kicked the bucket before he could push for Sakura no Mori's sequel since I don't really want to play an unfinished game.

Yea, if SP can survive after all the controversies it has had (especially far worse ones than this) then MG can survive a bit of translation drama. It isn't like this is the first rodeo for them or other companies have saints for translators/editors either since most of them have been hanging around the industry for years now putting out questionable content from time to time.

>>23767012
>MG only really seem to be announcing things when they're almost fully translated or already translated
They did announce Rance X while still having lots of other Rance titles to still finish so it isn't far fetched to see them announce another Alicesoft title on top of it all.

I believe that was a special scenario where they had only just acquired the licence a month or so beforehand and wanted to show it off since MIN-NARAKEN was there at the convention.

Agreed. I really want some more Maruto titles after having read Damekoi. It's such a fucking shame a lot of them seem like they have 0% chance of getting licensed officially.

I don't really get the controversy around the fragile male ego thing.
Disregarding how the translator does appear to be a fairly appalling person, spouting misandrist bullshit on twitter with a shocking frequency.
But as far as the translation itself is concerned, it might not be that great of a translation but it doesn't seem like it's that terrible of a translation either. As far as I understand it the original dialogue shat on the character as a man too. So it wasn't as if the translator inserted some misandrist bullshit where there was none, rather the line was already already shitting on him as a man, which the translator chose to express with the fragile male ego line.

I'd honestly find it much more understandable if the controversy was centred around the twitter tweets, but for some reason it wasn't. It really has been focused on the translation itself and that just confuses me.
Why do people find the translation so much more offensive than the original Japanese?

it's just the perspective i saw offered here, since apparently references to fragile masculinity are a common thing amongst misandrists on Twitter.

personally i'm fine with the translation since i kinda understand what they were going for, and it's not at all inaccurate for Jacopo's character, but i also thing that "fragile ego" would have worked perfectly ok too. it's not really something that i think warranted this much drama overall, though; it's just a bonus scene from the post-game sequence wherein all the characters are acting pretty over-the-top and out-of-character.

Basically, from what was discussed, the very phrase "fragile male ego" is some kinda political phrase that signifies one as an SJW, or at least it does in America. So when people finally discovered it 4 years later (or maybe it became political 4 years later), it somewhat blew up.

>While I hate SJW stuff, this kind of impotent bitching is just as silly. MG can do whatever it wants because it has power in the industry.
Agreed and the competition sucks honestly. I mean it's funny how you will hear MG is bad because of this and people start whining, but Sekai has yet to do an 18+ patch and started to shift direction. Or Jast taking a snails pace and then doing a semi-18+ patch. I mean at some point if people want change they better create better competition for change to happen and support it. MG is the only option left unless someone else starts their own company or the competition becomes better.
>while OAGers and whatnot can make a lot of noise but were never a part of their market in the first place. Everyone who willingly buys their product already does not care about 'fragile male egos' and all that shit.
That is usually true. I mean what else is left to buy from, and unless MG becomes worse gradually or competition exists then no one will care. Its just a lot of people who come here and have zero clue how the industry is and go with their generic insults.
>>23765970
I can say the same for JAST, without Nitro+ and the Japanese store they have, they would have folded long ago. Without Kickstarter money and the Chinese, Sekai Project would have been bankrupt long ago. MG without Rance, and a few other notable titles they would have been gone as well. Its nothing new its always how it's been. Corruption exists and only the Cartel decides what will be translated or not anyways.

Agreed the drama was hyper overblown for this, I can agree the word "fragile male ego" is stupid i do not think it deserved the reaction it had. I can only get mad or support something if the dialogue completely alters what the character is or is integral to the plot. Or the overall world it is set in. Even if a mode is censored. But this, its just too small and insignificant for me to care.

That's a tough one. If it were me I'd just translate it as "The End". I don't think anyone's going to get on your case about not translating a word play hemorrhoid joke.
That is unless you can somehow work "piles" into a phrase which means the same thing, but even then it's probably still not worth doing since it would probably require a TL note explaining that it's 痔 and not ジ.

Monthly releases would burden profits instead of help them if most of the monthly releases don't break even. It would be better for profits if they simply focused on the few games that they know will sell well and release those every 3 months. If anything, licensing enough VNs to maintain a monthly schedule is a passion project that's only doable for so long because of some of their bigger earners like their Steam titles, large nukige, and Alicesoft games. Either that, or most of their releases do legitimately break even within a reasonable time frame.

Sol Press' site is just a mess in general. They used to do blog post updates on their projects but those stopped around 6 months ago. Then when they finally got the Iroseka backerkit up they promised to start updating VN progress weekly on their Project Progress part of their site, but they only had 4 of their VN projects listed there not all of them, and that stopped getting updates around 2 months ago too. I don't know who's supposed to maintain the site but clearly they don't care.
As for their Windmill Oasis VNs they never actually made an announcement or product page for any of them. Really sad that Windmil Oasis' site has announced they partnered with Sol Press to release those 3 VNs, has their post in both Japanese and English, and points you to Sol Press' site to learn more but 10 months later and there's still nothing.

Because in 2014-2015 when VN boom in west because of STEAM (Nekopara craze) which make way for Sekai Project and Frontwing to license several kamige. Doddler and others entice all fan translation groups to join official one (Moggy, Conj, Aroduc, Alternative projects etc).

Why would that apply to anyone except from the people working on Baldr Sky? And also FanTLs were pretty dead back in 2015 too, it just seemed alive because their were more projects in progress, but the vast majority of them were MTL, done by an N5, slow as fuck or were dropped after a month or two.

I think the points of contention are different; i.e. I can complain endlessly about how dogshit Takajun's English was -- on par with that of a grade school student -- but my complaints insofar as official translations are concerned are mostly in relation to localization quibbles, things like meme spam where there should be none, weird replacements for honorifics, that sort of thing.

If you ask me, official translations are a lot more tolerable overall insofar as the readability is concerned. A lot of fan translations had translators who were awful at the English language, and dozens of editors usually worked on their translations so it could be quite schizophrenic as well.

Here's a good example of the quality of old fan translations that I came across recently. From Cross Channel, in the second scene of the game (and no it's not a line that would be difficult to translate):
>>緊急特報! 蓮ヶ丈奥地に謎の人工建造物を見た!
For reference, here's the GHS translation, which is correct:
>Urgent newsflash! In the deep lands of Hasugatake, a mysterious man-made structure was sighted!
Now what does Ixrec have here?
>Urgent information! I saw a mysterious artificial human at Hasukejou's place!
How do you even get this?
人工 = man-made
建造物 = structure/building
Further he completely leaves out the word 奥地 (backwoods), misreads a location 蓮ヶ丈 (Hasugatake) as a personal name, and also gets the reading wrong (he has Hasukejou) even though it's a voiced line.
How many people do you think read this and didn't realize it was complete fucking nonsense that had nothing to do with what the original actually said?

The three Cross Channel translations are
1. Ixrec - I already demonstrated what this one is like
2. George Henry Shaft - this one is simply bizarre and written in some kind of hyper-literal pseudo-English. The little tidbit I posted isn't representative at all. He wrote a full-length book on his interpretation of Cross Channel, though, which comes wit the translation, and it's an interesting read if you put up with how eccentric some of it is.
3. Official release - all-ages version by Moenovel. Some parts of it read perfectly fine, others read like unedited ESL babble.

I don't think I'm picking on anyone. I know the example is from Cross Channel, but there's nothing strange or difficult about that line. The place name is made-up but like I said, the line is voiced.

I don't think por que is a good choice here but for someone who lives in a city you're going to know what that means. I'm not speaking of common foreign words being used but entire sentences being translated to entirely different languages that aren't used in the original release as an attempt to localize text. Greeting a character with Bonjour is something you can expect the average western reader to know, speaking an entire line in french or using a french word that is never used because

Not him but I would say,
1. "Little" could be read as a derogatory adjective, like she's insulting him, not calling his power itself diminutive.
2. Either way he didn't report it. It's not really saying anything different.
3. If he's being overly respectful and she wants him to be more familiar, I guess that could work. I haven't read this game so I don't know what's actually going on in the scene.

Actually I would say this is the natural reading of the English sentence. I wouldn't have thought it meant "small amount of power" unless I saw the Japanese comparison, and even then it's still not worded in a way that would indicate that.

Isn't that a very American-centric POV? For people who don't live in places that have a sizable Spanish population, they would probably be lost. It is still a lot better than an entire sentence in Spanish or any other language, I will admit.

>You piece of shit! You're helping humans even with that little power of yours!
>You piece of shit, you have that much power yet you're helping humans
little is not being used as a measurement of size here but rather to express irritation or betrayal? Mind you this only works if the line that precedes that has a clear indication of said issue. For example the heroine used her notable power to disrupt the antagonists while they weren't aware of her affiliation with said faction.

So it'd go something like "What, you were working alongside them despite acting like one of us? You piece of shit, you're helping humans even with that little power of yours" It's a bit hard to describe but when I read it I don't get the sense of little being used to describe a lack of power but something similar to betrayal or annoyance.

>Yeah it would have been a problem if he reported us. There aren't any other people around so we'll be fine
>Yeah we interrupted the report and there are no signs of other people around. I think we'll be fine
"Yeah it would have been a problem if he reported us" clearly implies an action was made to interrupt whatever was the problem and the second sentence indicates they were successful at it. It conveys the exact same information but does it through different phrasing.

>Why are you treating me as your senior
>Why are you looking down on me
Seniors aren't viewed in positive light in all western places. In some they're treated as being problems who need to be cared for and are thus looked down upon in society as a result. The latter translation is better but the former translation still works. The joys of localizing text for specific audiences/regions.

It's not just Takuji (who I also don't like). I hated Yuki, who seemed very arrogant while also being WAY too well-read for a high schooler. Zakuro and Ayana are fucking schizos. Kagami is just some retarded dyke tsundere. Tsukasa has no personality. All the other characters are either faggots or complete stuck-up retards (or both). I guess Hasaki was okay, but she was in like one scene. Nobody is remotely likeable, which makes it a chore to read, especially when it's alternating between philosophy dump, obtuse "spooky" shit, and gay rape scenes.

Kagami and Tsukasa are idealized mental constructs created by Takuji based on Lucky Star. Yuki is an idealized version of a dead older sister-like character he looked up to, which became one of his alternate personalities, so she has as much philosophical knowledge as he does (which was all acquired by his crazy cultist mother forcing him to read philosophy). Zakuro is just an introvert but she is a flawed character in her own way, and the happy ending of her route is meant to show a route she could have taken, critiquing her passivity. Each chapter shows a character's limited viewpoint and it all links together when you find out that Takuji has multiple personalities. Every character is flawed in their own way but together they show things beyond the 'limits' of each viewpoint, which links to the overall themes. If you don't like the VN then just drop it since I spoiled it for you anyway.

Well, 'investment' is really multifaceted and people can attach themselves to different things. Nor is being invested necessary to gain something from a work. I don't think anyone who enjoys philosophy books, for example, would push through it because they are invested all the way through, at least in the conventional sense, but they like to see how the ideas build up to something. With that said, I was invested in the mystery and the characters. Yuki herself advocates reading whatever you want anyway, so if you aren't attached to something then just take it as that. Sometimes there are no reasons why you are attached to something or not.

To elaborate a bit further, Tomosane's family has necromancy powers through his mother's bloodline, which is what Takuji used (as a child) to possess Tomosane just before he died. This is also why Hasaki is capable of seeing and communicating with Yuki once she separates from Tomosane's body, because Yuki is a literal ghost (who had possessed Tomosane to help him get rid of Takuji). As further proof of ghosts existing, the spam email that started the ghost scare in Invention was sent by Zakuro (after she was dead) at the beginning of the game in Down the Rabbit-Hole 1. I think this also brings up an interesting possibility that some of Takuji's hallucinations in Invention might have actually been real, but that's neither here nor there.

When Zakuro goes with Takuji into his underground lair, she feels like she's undergoing a similar experience and thus asks him if that's a jar of orange marmalade on his shelf. Now, a jar of orange marmalade looks like pic related. So when he says no, she realizes it's actually a jar of piss and thus starts wanting to leave.

Who cares if the plot is good if the characters suck? The references are also a complaint about writing style, which is a pretty big deal. If the story is good (which I'm not convinced it is), but the actors in it and mode in which it is conveyed are bad, then who cares? Plot is just one part of the product.

To be fair, characters are also one part of a story. Some people can enjoy a story where the plot is good but the characters suck or vice versa. It's one reason why enjoyment of something is subjective. I personally think the atmosphere is more important than either plot or characters when it comes to personal enjoyment of a story.

Since announcements were done during Anime Central, the remaining secret projects will likely be announced in early July to correspond with Anime Expo and early August to correspond with Otakon. It wouldn't surprise me if there were only 3 games left to announce for the rest of the year, but we'll see. In case anyone cares, Mugen Renkan (Eternal Torment) and Room No 9 join the increasing list of out of beta titles, which also includes Nyan Cafe, WanNyan, and Rance 01 (though Rance 02 isn't out of beta yet). Sona-nyl's refrain content is about 25% translated, so it'll probably be some time before that game comes out.

People were saying that last year, but every time MG did a status update they added 1-2 more secret projects and I'm pretty sure there were 9 total.

Well these licences are already acquired hence them being 80%~ translated. You'd only be seeing the effects next year if there were any.
>>23829707
Why? He seems to be a nukige translator primarily and judging by some of his old posts I don't really think he likes games like Musicus. The translator will probably be DS55 or Kouryuu_.
>>23832788
Assuming he means the translator of the games after the first one then I like his work, but ESLs seem to hate him because they can't understand the archaic speech he uses for some characters, although none of that would be present if he were the translator of Musicus.

I'm almost certain that translator/translation was canned after the quality of the translation was exposed.

>Why?
I considered Kouryuu and DS55 as well, but Kouryuu doesn't tend to shy away from talking about the work on his translations, and he hasn't really mentioned anything yet which seems a bit out of character for him. He talked about working on Maggot Baits all the time. DS55 is, as you surmised, likely too busy. The other translators probably have their hands full, too.

The reason I considered Momimomi is because aside from explaining their translation rationale on MG's blog, they seem to keep to themselves almost entirely, so them not announcing themselves as the translator makes sense. Also, it's pretty clear that MG want to release this ASAP, and Momimomi is probably one of MG's fastest translators right now now that Arunaru left. Kouryuu is kind of a slow translator all things considered, and the Musicus translation is almost already done despite them only having had access to the script for around 6 months. I'm just not sure who else could be working on it at the moment other than Momimomi.

I'd assume they've been working on it a bit longer than that since it has been known since before the project even had a name that MG would be releasing a translation for it. So the translation has most likely been in progress ever since the script for the game was finalised.
I'd argue that Momimomi is probably busy on the next instalment of Kyonyuu Fantasy.
I think the editor is https://twitter.com/EldritchCherub though.

Could just be because it wasn't announced yet. This tweet makes me think it might be him since it's music related, but it's still kind of vague and doesn't prove anything.

My guess is that MG plans to throw Good Haro at Lucky Dog after Room No 9 or maybe use it for hazing some poor new translator that wants to join the company if MG is desperate enough. They probably would have announced the Lucky Dog cancellation and genuflected by now if they were going to drop the project completely.

That's vaguely possible, but the only other company that might be interested in a BL title is JAST. Sekai's otome venture was a bust, and it would be way too out of the left field for Nekonyan. The most I expect Nekonyan to drift from its moege niche is the occasional plotge or possibly yuri title. Not that it's impossible for Nekonyan to diversify its licenses (Hello Lady is a chuunige), but it has to be done in steps.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 16 15:01:59 2020 No.23837768 >>23831162 Depends on Room 9's performance. I just have a feeling it will not sell as well as Otome and basically be dropped unless they want to do one ever 3-5 years or something.

Is the Steam version of Muv Luv Alternative fucked up? I just got to the part where they attack the hive on Sadogashima and the action scenes are moving at lightning speed, to the point that characters' dialogue is overlapping, and it's often hard to follow. Are the scenes supposed to be moving this fast?

According to an interview with Siliconera back in 2014, the Japanese company was interested in releasing it in English themselves using the web translation (which they approved). They were too busy working on the sequel to do it however. It's since been released so it's possible they decided to back out of working with Mangagamer and proceed solo.

JAST BLUE is also an option. The translator for Lucky Dog 1 seems pretty close with the editor for Togainu No Chi on twitter.

It topped the weekly chart on the day of its announcement (which isn't saying too much since the only other real competition was a Kagura Game title and the heavily discounted Higurashi titles but it's still notable). There's not really much to discuss about the title except for "Fuck yeah, Escalayer" though as it's a nukige, and nukige don't get a lot of discussion. It'll probably sell well since Haruka sold well and all, and Escalayer is a similar type of title. While people attribute it selling well to Rancefags wanting Rance, it still had a long sales tail after Rance VI was released.
