I care SO MUCH.

Are you trying to turn eroge into the next "edgy scene you have been following since before it was cool following it"?

>> No.6169915

>>6169893
since when was it cool to begin with?

>> No.6169922

>>6169915
dunno, but people are sure acting like it is. I mean "interviews"? Seriously?

>> No.6169937

>>6169922
What does that have to do with making it 'cool'. Sure, I'll agree interviews are dumb and I have no interest in them, since I could use that time to read VNs or browse /jp/ instead. But I don't see exactly how this is supposed to have any meaning.

In before Fox News reports on the erotic Japanese games that are corrupting our youth.

Tell this to kotaku.
Reported.

>> No.6169989

If anything I think the interviews were done for the sake of fan translators more so than the fans. As for fans, they couldn't give less of a crap as long as they get to keep playing

Oh how I hate that SnapShots preview popup thing

Not completely true.
A VN fan here, very interested in the VN translating community, and would very much like to contribute to it but sadly I lack any useful skills (not even editing since english is not my first language). Perhaps image editing if I get better with photoshop in the near future.

I don't think Kouryuu is a fan translator anymore.
Wait, was he ever?
I mean, I remember seeing him on gemot a lot before mangagamer came around.

No Haeleth interview?

Moogy didn't translate anything either strictly speaking, that's why it's more of a scene e-penis thing than talking about actual fan translations.

>> No.6170375

I sure don't know anything about it being "edgy" or "cool", but I won't deny that it has evolved into something that could be considered a "scene".

Anyway, I find these interviews to be a pleasant read. they might not matter much perhaps, but I am fairly interested in projects overall, be it original content, oficial works, or fan-projects such as translations.

He's a an editor for Sharin, isn't that enough?
Maybe you've forgotten that editor too is an important role in translation.

You mean he rewrote it.

>>6170368
Well, he did co-found TLwiki.
You can't deny the influence TLwiki had on modern fan translations.

The izmos/kingshriek YU-NO interview was great.
Necrosis interview was interesting.

There are some other good ones, but most are pretty boring.

>> No.6170711

>>6170646

I found all of them to be fascinating to some degree.

That said, it's a piece FOR the community ABOUT the community. Most of /jp/edos can move right along - nothing to see here.

>> No.6172349

Phar should leave YU-NO behind for a bit and translate the 2 Symphonic Rain Side Stories missing.

>As Phlebas mentioned on the IRC channel, it’s gonna take about a month tops until the release of the patch. But he sure is a fast and skilled worker, so it could be less longer than expected.

Cheers for Hoshimemo and Never7. And Ixrec and Moogy and the others.

There's some good info in here about the status of some translations and upcoming projects.
