Good luck with that one, bub. Enjoy being disappoint. Besides, Coco's route wasn't amazing, it was just the build-up and then everything being explained. Coco is a shit character.

But what is the ETA on Remember11 exactly?

The best thread has finally arrived. You're the number one reason I come to /jp/ anymore

>>4907744
I didn't Google translate. I've got this shitty Chrome addon. I have no idea whether it is accurate or not, but it has been fairly accurate in some shit in the past. Bleh. I'm not quite sure how this extension works, but I'm pretty sure I'm understanding it wrong.
>>4907737
Thank you kindly.

Off-topic posters should be classy and delete their posts now that it's been resolved.

>>4907754
>I've got this shitty Chrome addon
Rikaichan/kun is great, but it's not a replacement for knowing Japanese.

>>4907763
I agree. Could you guys please be nice and don't post shit in the best thread of the week?

>>4907766
I know. I don't know the grammar and a lot of the time it's confusing. But it has helped me understand some stuff in the past. Some thread was just some stupid picture with 'その目、だれの目？' and the extension managed to tell me what all that was pretty much. It's just 'Who eyes are those eyes?' from Chaos;Head.

Big Bang Age and Rance have both been made by Alicesoft. You have been forewarned.

>>4907808
Damn. Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably still try, though. I only disliked Rance mostly due to the fact that I was a bit confused with it and it felt like a game with hentai scenes tacked on.

OP, you might want to try putting this at the top next time - a lot of people seem to be unaware...

>>4907818
Better then being stuck at 49% for a year.

>>4907818
Shh, let him dream. It's almost cute.

Don't know about you guys but I liked R11 about as much as I liked E17. The only thing is that you actually have to do the thinking yourself to figure out what the hell happened which I didn't even bother trying. Thinking is for nerds.

>>4907852
Ahahaha. That post was fucking hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh.

>>4907844
I don't think people are THAT stupid

>>4907859
They are. People are quoting Air at 55% with reaction images, when it hasn't changed since last week.

>Yosuga no Sora - "Common route translated. Kazuha route mostly translated. Sora route next." rough partial patch released

sora route when? i don't care about anyone else, that game only matters because of sora.

>>4907719

>>4907869
Me too. We don't get an update for like... 2 months or something?

>>4907866
Doesn't mean we don't know it hasn't changed, it's still just nice to see the game moving at all, be it very slowly.

You should learn to maybe take it easy.

>>4907899
You should learn to stop posting like a retard maybe. Just sayin'.

>>4907869
Yahiro's good too. Delicious Hikaru Isshiki

Remember when people weren't spoiled by the number of translations? I remember we had so much fun back then at /a/ when Tsukihime was just released and was being discussed like crazy. Good times.

>>4907909
But then where's the fun in that? :3

>>4907920

He's an idiot. Ignore him.

Another tripfag added to the list. Honestly, why are most tripfags on /jp/ obnoxious faggots?

Air is being re-translation checked and re-edited so it might be a while until there's more progress, but there is a dedicated translator working on it, apparently.

You mean back when the board was only talking about 2 or 3 games all the time? Oh wait, they do that nowadays too!

Killer Queen is making decent progress. It's short enough that it should've been done by now but at least it's moving.

Can you faggots stop this stupid fight in here? Thanks.

As a stick-mah-head-in-once-a-week visitor, I shall say this: this is an exemplary thread (at least the OP is) and Tohno is a fagget.

>>4907650
EF- probable that they are making an attempt to surpass UBW as the longest delayed at 100% translation

If this was back a couple years ago, they would have got just as much rage as Message did with UBW since there would be nothing else to play.

I am please to see progress with Toheart2.

>>4908233
Shit, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Then when the anime comes out, I know that I probably won't want to play the VN. I find it almost tedious playing through a VN when I've seen the anime already. That's why I played Fate/Stay Night beforehand, and why I'm currently putting off the Ef anime.

;_;

>>4908208
With the way things are going, the anime's going to come out before the game's translation. ;_; Isn't it sad? This might actually drive me to learn the damn language.

>>4908256
Animes of VNs are shit. They're just the VN condensed into a shitty package that doesn't deliver the same emotions and shit as you would get from just reading. At least in my experience.

>>4908256
Sorry, about that. I had more I wanted to add to that post. Damn, I hate that you have to wait to delete posts now. I'll more than likely avoid the anime since I'm the same damn way, but I don't think how last long. Seeing the characters animated might be nice. ;_;

>>4908275
Agreed

>>4908275
>Animes of VNs are shit.
Watch Clannad.

>>4908275
There's also this. They'll leave out shit and it will more than likely turn out to be trash

>>4908293
No. I've yet to read Clannad and I don't want to watch the anime seeing as most animes of VNs aren't as good as the VN and take the blow out the VN due to spoilers.

Ugh,,the ef anime.

>>4908293
If they were only going to focus on one arc, they should have done it in 12 episodes, maybe 24. 52 meant that every single thing was stretched out about four times as long as it needed to be leaving the show as little more than soulless pandering.

>>4908323
>stretched out
Isn't that a good thing? In moderation at least. Most anime of VNs skip protag's little monologues on shit, and that's what I dislike the most. Also the fact that anime is a shitty medium of entertainment.

>>4908293
What, to add further proof to his argument?

>>4908330
>anime is a shitty medium of entertainment.
Get out.

>>4908351
Nowadays 95% of the anime is complete garbage. Get over it.

>>4908351
No, you should go back to /a/.

>>4908351
Most anime these days are complete trash.

>>4908330
In moderation, sure. But they're entirely different mediums. Besides, a lot VN adaptations have issues from trying to cram each arc into two or three episode chunks. There's a happy medium somewhere between that and spending upwards of 40 episodes on a single arc that doesn't even take a third the time to play through in the VN itself.

>>4908371
It's funny because it's true. I still enjoy anime of visual novels that I just love, but original anime is mostly 'LOL IM WEAK NOW IM POWERFUL HUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE' or 'LOL WE'RE TEENAGER GIRLS' rehashed shit.

>>4908391
If it takes you longer to watch an anime than read a visual novel, whoever made the anime is doing it wrong. Anime have a much faster pace. Unless 50% of the time is panning the camera, this shouldn't fucking happen. And 50% of the time shouldn't be the camera panning either. Fucking anime.

>>4908371

Nowadays 95% of everything is (and has always been) complete garbage. shitsux ;_;

>>4908418
>95% of everything
Pretty pessimistic there, buddy. Lighten up a little, eh? 95% of EVERYTHING isn't bad. 95% of video games aren't bad, nor visual novels. ALL IS WELL.

>>4908401
Well, yes. That was my point. Not that I'm falling on the side of all or even 95% of anime is bad, just that the Clannad adaptation did things wrong in the entirely opposite way of basically every other VN adaptation.

>95% of video games aren't bad, nor visual novels
I have some bad news for you.

Another shitty thing about VN --> Anime adaptations is shit getting removed. The most recent case of this was Chaos;Head. No Mimi attempted rape. No Nanami hand cut off. No Sena's mother going batshit crazy and eating her child and killing herself. These scenes were the scenes that impacted me the most and brought a chill to my spine. They were removed because they were probably deemed too graphic, but fuck that. Fucking anime.

>>4908453
Ok. 95% of visual novels aren't bad.

>>4908453
But... I enjoy nearly EVERY video game and visual novel I've played recently. Everything has its flaws, but it's not 95% BAD. Once you play something good you set the bar too fucking high, and you deem anything that isn't brilliant, 'bad'. You need to get out of that mindset. It's bad for your health.

>>4908473
THIS. I hate watching an anime adaptation to see one of my favourite scenes removed or made shitty.

>>4908474
I still have some bad news for you, anon.

>>4908496
No you don't.

>>4908496
No. 95% is exaggerated horribly.

>>4908508
It may be but a lot of them are complete trash.

You're all hastening the death of the best thread. ;_;

>>4908516
Indeed. Let's stop clogging it with shit.

If anything 95% is too low, there are fucktons of VNs. I think people are confusing 95% of VNs with 95% of popular/translated VNs.

>>4908485

Really. There's ~2000 video games released every year in America, and you think less than 95% of them are bad? Most VNs are terrible too, it's just that not many of the bad ones are translated. Is the average anime really that much worse than Suck My Dick or Die?

>>4908580
You can at least fap to the bad eroge.

>>4908613
You beat me to it.

>>4908306
Okay then, read Clannad and then if you like it, watch the anime. The Clannad anime is probably the best VN -> anime adaption right now.

WHY, WITCH HUNT? WHY?

WHHYYYYYY

Air - 55%
>STILL 55%

>>4908718
There's got to be plenty of people out there who would work in umineko if witch-hunt didn't have a prior claim on it.

I hope those people give up on witch-hunt and start working themselves.

>>4908718
Because you touch yourself at night.

>>4908741
That's not a very good reason.

>>4908749
A good enough reason for you to touch yourself at night, mind you.

>>4908727
Is Air good or something? I've never bothered looking it up.

>>4908766
OH FUCKING HELL. NOT ANOTHER VISUAL NOVEL WITH HORRIBLE ART. JESUS CHRIST.

>>4908766
Only one route is worth playing.

>>4908773
Welcome to Key.

>>4908782
Is that the route with all the deformed character's faces and ugly art? Oh wait, that's all the routes! AHAHAAHHAHAHA. Fuck. Shitty art puts me off everything. That's why I'm never going to play the likes of Umineko or Higurashi.

>>4908792
Seriously, does Key even have an artist? So many of the visual novels they make have fucking horrible art. Proportions on people in the novels look stupid even for some fucking animu person.

>>4908794
Oh well. Your loss.

>>4908800
Itaru and Na-Ga. Na-Ga is the good one.

>>4908803
I know. A shame that I can't tolerate that shitty art, seeing as I hear so much good stuff about a lot of the stuff Key makes as well as Umineko and Higurashi (LOL SAUSAGE HANDS).

>>4908800
They have two. They should have Planetarian's artist do the art for their games.

>>4908810
Are Itaru and Na-Ga by any chance 13 year old boys with autism? Judging by the unattractive and shitty looking faces, I would say that they are. I mean it looks like they've had their faces bludgeoned, all the characters are so fucking ugly.

>>4908773
>>4908800
Give them a break, Air was made in 2001. Most games back then had awful art. (pic related)
>>4908800
Clannad's art is alright, Little Busters! art is good. Rewrite's art is pretty nice too but I can see a lot of people disliking it.

>>4908817
Itaru's a woman and as far as I know, Na-Ga's male.

>>4908816
But Planetarian didn't look like shit...? Do they make stupid art on purpose? Planetarian had attractive character models, even though in all honesty there was only a single character. Maybe when the artists focus all their efforts on a single character, it comes out less shit?

>>4908822
Oh. 2001. Fair enough. Kanon looks shitty too. Clannad looks like moeblob shit. Must just be earlier work that looked horrible, which is forgiveable.

>>4908831
>Kanon looks shitty too
Kanon was made in '99.

>>4908831
The newer stuff is better, but it's still not all that great.

>>4908839
I know it was made ages ago as well. But those faces are fucking hilarious. DEM PROPORTIONS.

>>4908827
Planetarian's artist has only done that one game for them. The others have mainly been worked on by Itaru. There's also Na-Ga who helped with the art for Little Buster. And there's Fumio who did the art for Tomoyo After.

>>4908858
Oh I see. themoreyouknow.jpg
You are a very knowledgeable man. Thank you for sharing.

>>4908727
>Air - 55%
Why is everyone doing this? It just went up 2% last week. Is it just out of habit?

>>4908841
HATERS GONNA HATE.

>>4908899
Why are people even bothering? It's a horrible looking game. It's probably a horrible game too.

>>4908909
Just don't care one way or the other for the newer art.

>>4908773
>>4908910
If the art bothers you so much just watch the anime. Personally I liked the anime more than the game.

>>4908937
But I prefer visual novels. An animu won't make me cry regardless of how good it is. Not that I read visual novels solely for crying, but yeah.

>>4908945
You should still play Air if you want to cry. Put up with the art.

>>4908952
Is there ANY good end to Air?

>>4908952
>put up with art
I probably will be able to, but I can't convince myself to fuck it and just download and have a blast at it. OH WELL. ILL JUST PLAY KIRA KIRA AND BE A USELESS PRICK.

>>4908945
>An animu won't make me cry regardless of how good it is.
I don't see why. Maybe you just haven't watched a good emotional anime.

I bawwed to Air's anime. I possibly would have bawwed to the game too but by the time I was done with the bullshit side-routes I couldn't go on any longer.

>>4908965
Meh, that's fine. I reread it like a couple days ago myself and already almost want to read it again for some reason.

April 30th and June 16th can't come quick enough ;_;

>>4908956
Well...uhh...
That depends on your definition of good.

>>4908945
>An animu won't make me cry regardless of how good it is.

Then you must be a huge faggot. Gtfo this planet, you assraped piece of shit

>>4908976
one where Yukito doesn't turn into a crow and Misuzu doesn't die

>>4908972
Yeah, I've hardly watched any anime in all honesty. But I just can't see myself crying because of an anime. Visual novels just seem so much better at making you cry like a bitch. Crying like a bitch is my favourite part of this entertainment, so seeing as I'm not sure if the animu will make me cry, I don't want to bother.

But Anime isn't as emotional as a visual novel maaaaaaan. I read Chaos;Head, cried like a bitch, watched anime, didn't cry, got the other ending in Chaos;Head and cried some more. Anime is shitty.

>>4909007
Deardrops.

>>4909011
Yum. Juicy thighs. I anticipate the 16th of June very much now. I like thighs.

>>4909007
>watched anime, didn't cry
Maybe that's because the chaos;head anime is shit? Watch a good adaption like any of the Key/KyoAni adaptions.

>>4909028
Actually it's the 18th of June. Just watch it get delayed again.

I don't want to make a thread for this, so I was wondering if someone could explain why visual novels are like always 1GB or something near to that, REGARDLESS of how much voice/CG/movies it has in it?

>>4909028
Well, remember that's just japanese release. Who knows when mangagamer will get it out, but I wait on pins and needles for it.

Ever since I started learning guitar I crave more music VNs.

Shit. Good point. I completly forgot that will only be in Nippon language. Have any VNs ever had like a simultaneous release in more than Japan? That would be cool.

>Remember11- Scripts translation at 100%, 103/110 tips translated, 88/155 scripts edited

This is a good time to be alive.

>>4909059
No, I don't believe ever. From the way Kouryuu answered the questions in a thread a few days ago it seemed like Mangagamer hasn't actually started translating it yet, so the whole "simultaneously working on it" seems to be tossed out the window.

>>4909061
But when is it going to be released? Any ideas? I've not been keeping up with it till recently. A months time? This month? 2 months? What?

>>4909059
>Have any VNs ever had like a simultaneous release in more than Japan?
Giniro

>>4909071
Fucking hell. MangaGamer are a bunch of faggots, mind. The amount of typos I've found in Kira Kira is disgusting. From a professional company, I would expect a little more professionalism. I would never buy this shit. ALSO, no material copies is SHIT, I'll never buy a visual novel unless I get a physical copy, but MangaGamer are too poor to do anything other than digital selling shit. Faggots.

>>4909048
Tsukihime: ~200mb
Planetarian: ~50mb without voices IIRC

If you look through the data, most of it is made of music files (voices, music and sound effects), followed by the art (CGs, backgrounds and sprites). Everything else is hardly bigger than 10mb. Depends on the lenght, really. Higurashi is about 200mb (mangagamer release) and is quite lenghty because of resolution and art quality. Engine and text hardly do anything, the big backgrounds and CGs do. If you lose 3mb for each 800x600 CG, a game with 80cgs would lose about 250mb. Voices are the worse shit, really.

Clannad anime is a pretty good adaption; satisfying if you've played the entire VN first. The anime features great KyoAni animation, good selection of scenes from VNs and cut the useless route (Kyou, Ryou, side characters). The VN offers more detailed--but often grindy--scenes with lots of comedy, emo moments and dramu; which are very effective since you experience them directly from Tomoya's POV instead of anime 3rd POV.

Don't forget Tomoyo OVA. Man that was one fucking good adaption.

>>4909096
Thanks.

>>4909085
It took you 69 words to run through the same old complaints. I'm sure you can do better than that.

>>4909111
I can do better, but I'm trying to read a fucking VN. Fuck off already and leave me in peace, /jp/.

>>4909107
>Don't forget Tomoyo OVA. Man that was one fucking good adaption.
Wot

Uh

No.

>>4909075
That was not even a translation and you know it. Besides it was just a language option in the japanese release.

>>4909121
>wot
Why did this make me laugh so much?

>>4909085
It's better than Edelweiss, that's why we start give MG support for Kirakira, and Higurashi turns out better albeit not Makoto-tier yet.

>>4909085
they constantly discuss how they could possibly do physical copies because it's something the consumers want. they just don't have the resources to do what we want right now I guess.

Also, I think their work is just fine. I've found the same amount if not more minor spelling errors in Kirakira than in other companies VN. Their quality is now deserving of purchase, without a doubt.

Kouryuu is doing a good job. He worked on Soul Link and Eiden Fantasia. They have editors and although it's hard to wipe the slate clean, if they keep the quality they have after KiraKira then there should be no problems. And we should support them anyway so they will continue to give us things we want. Like Oretsuba.

>>4909137
But their Circus translations were better than Kira Kira or Higurashi, and that was over a year ago.

>>4909139
The amount of typos that were in Kira Kira was still silly. It should have been 0, and it wasn't. It's like they didn't bother to proof read it. Also, JAST do physical copies, don't they? I can't stand buying stuff that is only connected to me by some shitty download. The only exception I allow is by steam, as it's like your own little library of games, but just paying 50 dollars to download something from a random site is out of the question for me.

Here we go again.

>>4909153
Nowadays people spend more time online at home or mobile rather than visiting game/animu stores. In the long-range JAST physical copies' tactic might not be that profitable. Don't forget that online shop also tap every English-speaking market with almost no cost of distribution.

>>4909153
Was it really that silly? I noticed maybe 3 obvious mistakes, which is less than I found in The Sagara Family, a G-Collections work.

Jast does make physical copies. They're also supported more because people actually BUY their sex romps. But people don't seem to want to buy things like KiraKira or Soul Link. It's a vicious cycle. If people buy, Mangagamer could very possibly have the income needed to supply physical copies.

I don't know why they don't actually talk to Overdrive about it or something though. Of course I REALLY want a nice box, disc, and maybe even an ost CD or something for Deardrops. But it's not gonna stop me from buying it if they don't because it's something I really want.

>>4909189
>If people buy, Mangagamer could very possibly have the income needed to supply physical copies.
Goddamn, I want to support the industry, but MangaGamer are just a bunch of assholes in my eyes.

>>4909204
I think this is a big hurdle that needs to be jumped. I don't know why you think they're a bunch of assholes, nor do I really care, that's for you to sort out. I'll just say that the past is the past and what they are doing now in my eyes is quality work that deserves support.

And now we should stop this, because it's not the right thread.

>>4909189
I remember meeting typos each 15-30 mins of playing. It lacks proofread.

Kirakira sells more than Higurashi, last time I look at MG website.

Maybe MG can make special edition box complete with artbook and shit in small amount. Online order only, no wide distribution to animu/game shops. If the demand is high they can start producing more.

>>4909189
>I noticed maybe 3 obvious mistakes
You can't be serious.

>>4909220
Again, what I NOTICED. I'm not saying there weren't more. My point is that it wasn't a big deal. Sure, it needs proofreading. EVERY VN I read seems to need another round of proofreading.

>>4909238
Fan made ones rarely need proof read. It always seems to be professional companies that lack the ability to proof read. Some of the typos are like they put NO care into the translation. Something like 'iw' was 'is'... I mean not noticing that is just completely careless and shows they must have no one proof read this shit.

>>4909248
Well i think they hired more editors after KiraKira.

Did anyone notice anything in Eiden Fantasia? I can't remember seeing anything wrong.

>>4909248
There's also the fact that MG pumps out titles where as fan translations take years.
>>4909261
Nothing that wasn't intended, I don't believe.

>>4909273
>There's also the fact that MG pumps out titles where as fan translations take years.
This might be true, but remember that these PROFESSIONALS are expected to be well structured and organized. You don't release a game until it has been quality tested. If you are releasing stuff with typos and shit in it, it's really going to hurt the quality, so they should take the time to do that.

>>4909282
Agreed. If they do Eiden Fantasia quality (which I expect now) from now on everything will be fuckin sunshine and rainbows.
>>4909273
How about Soul Link? I didn't read that.

>>4909295
If Eiden Fantasia is as flawless as you make it sound, THEN A BRIGHT FUTURE AWAITS MANGAGAMER. Who knows, I might even give them some money if they translate Deardrops quickly.

>>4909295
Nothing major, as far as I can recall but it has been quite some time.

>>4909305
Quickly I would like. But I'm all for sacrificing some time for a good proofread.

And yes, Eiden Fantasia was quite well done I thought, I had no complaints whatsoever other than it was delayed a bit.

>>4909323
Fuck proof reading. I'm just a little whingy bastard.

>>4909327
Well.... it's good you at least acknowledge it.... I guess?

Shouchi D signing off, asking you to follow me in supporting mangagamer for cute drummer girl dicking.

My god, I just love all the excuses people are giving to ultimately not buy the VNs. Enough with the strawman justifications, just either shut up and go back to shamefully pirating, or just tell it as it is.

>>4907650
Looking forwards to R11, even though I ended up dropping Ever17 due to the shit characters and fucking chicken sandwiches.

Also, it's nice to see that admidst the stalled releases, there are a few others like Osadai and YUNO which slowly but surely making progess every single week. Good for you, good TLWiki devs (the bad ones obviously being the shitty Sunflower/G-senjou devs).

>>4909582
You read and complain like shit.

>>4909582
>Osadai and YUNO
>slowly
What?

>>4909590
What? I'm just telling it as it is - no need to get all defensive and stuff, bub!
>>4909626
Ok, maybe not slowly, but it's not exactly quickly either compared to some of the stuff. A good moderate pace I guess.

>>4909647
>translating most of a VN in less than 6 months
>translating almost half of a VN the size of F/SN in about 6 months
That's pretty quick to me. Maybe not Ixrec speed but far faster than most translators.

>>4909760
Not to undermine Phar's speed, but Yu-No only has around ~1.9mb of unique text. Almost half of F/SN's.

Sometimes I actually appreciate NNL because despite their needless stalling, they actually get things done. I'm pretty sure their Swells project was started after the Eden* translation.

>>4909837
>they actually get things done
How long have they been working on ef now? 3 years? And it's still not out?

>>4909845
Only about a year or so, apparently. If I'm interpreting their site correctly.

>>4909868
They first translated the demo of ef on 2007-09-23. So yeah, nearly three years.

>>4909868
Rather, about a year since they released Chapter 1. So maybe, 18 months max I'd say.

>>4909810
Not entirely.
1.9 MB is only the unique lines, which means they appear only once during the whole game. However the shared text (which appear more than once) are not negligible either, since around 40% of the entire game consists of shared text due to the poor engineering from élf.

>>4909890
Well, there was this:
>2008.03.08. ef - the first tale translation project canceled.

>>4909890
You must have forgotten the part where they canceled the project for a couple years.

>>4909897
>1.9 MB is only the unique lines, which means they appear only once during the whole game
By 'unique lines' doesn't it include the lines that are repeated, but it just counts them once? If not that's an awfully strange way of counting.

>>4909890
Keep in mind that ef - the latter tale didn't even get released until 2008-05-30.

>>4909944
Not sure what you are getting.
1.93 MB (2.42 with speaker tags) are the unique lines and then you got this giant shared text mess (the look commands, scenes which appear in every route, conversation parts which appear more than once etc). This giant copypasta mess is 1.16 MB by itself altogether, so yeah.
But the point I'm trying to make that this 1.16 MB copypasta needs translations too.
It might be a strange way of counting, but given the script structures and how they appear in the game, 1.93 MB + copypasta makes a lot more sense than 3.90MB.

>>4910050
Are you assuming he translates it all every time text is repeated? The copypasta parts get automatically copied by a tool. It cuts down translation time and the amount that needs to be translated by a lot.

Well duh, I know that. Since I'm inserting it myself.

I knew what I was in for in terms of proofreading in Kira Kira when Murakami was talking about The Crash and The Damudo.

Has there been any progress on the rest of the Symphonic Rain side stories translation?

Only one has been done so far. ;__;
http://www.tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Symphonic_Rain:Sidestories

iirc, some anon was asking for raws for the rest of them and other stories in special editions for translation. Dunno what happened after that.

>Kizuato - 104/246 scripts translated
EVERY FUCKING WEEK!

>>4915856

So wait. What happened to the Gore Screaming Show translation? Is it dropped again?

>>4916029
To the best of my knowledge, the translator stopped working on it quickly after he began translating it, and there is little reason to believe any GSS project is alive.

>>4916029
The latest GSS translator turns out attempting to tl by editing ATLAS output, so no surprise TLWiki devs kick him out. After that we haven't heard any news.

>>4916106
Kicked out instead of telling him not to do so?
Fuck.

>>4916106
Wait, the one AFTER Sacreo?

>>4916243
There's no way to "kick out" someone from translating other than banning, and they didn't go that far. They just told him not to translate any more.

But that was the guy before the current guy (Sacreo). The current guy is Vermillion Raven, who doesn't seem to be using machine translators.

>I just found out about this game last week from the BL forums, and I downloaded the script files that were posted and started translating (while playing the game). Admittedly, I'm currently just a second year Japanese student, so a number of the grammar (particularly at the beginning of the 01 file) is beyond me. So I've been asking my sensei for help with the grammar I don't know. So far I've translated the op1 file and about the first 10th of the 01 file. I wonder though, are all the script files in the GSS_Spt.rar file. Because when I downloaded it it only had, _staff, 01 trough 08, 082, akane, and an aoi file that both my IZArc and 7-Zip said was broken; it didn't even have the op1 file.--Vermilion Raven 16:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

this doesn't look bad too me at all, maybe its because i like moe or something, or that i didn't even finch when i looked at the huragashi art. also when i read i picture what there doing in my mind like a movie, so for me it doesn't really matter how bad the art is.

Probably a few months.

As a good friend of the hacker on the project, there's still a lot of work to be done; there are a lot of known instability/crashing issues, most of which seem to be just totally random and will probably be hard to debug. They most likely relate somehow to fonts and text display, but there's even been reports of crashes during movies.

The sheer magnitude of the hacking required for R11 is staggering. The original text display assumed every single character was 2 bytes, so he had to basically rewrite a good part of the text engine (remember, this is all compiled code, so he had to rewrite the asm). And that's just a small part of the mess it became.

FYI, said hacker is also the hacker (or one of them, at least; I don't know much about NNL) for ef.
