Really? Ever17 felt pretty short to me. Although Muramasa does have much harder Japanese and certain parts might take much time to translate. It's certainly not an easy task.

Uh... what they're saying is very simple and correct. What's so hard to follow about it?

Granted, the amount of unique kanji in a game doesn't necessarily reflect how often kanji is used over hiragana, so it doesn't necessarily work as an indicator like that, but I guess it's a safe bet that if a game does use a lot of unique kanji, it's probably more apt to use kanji over hiragana.

A notable exception would be Muv Luv Alternative, which doesn't have a very impressive unique kanji count, but uses kanji over hiragana for even the most simple words very often. That's a good example of a compressed script that's probably longer than the numbers imply

Pretty sure it's counting every line in the game. And it's counting line count for both of say, Tsugumi and Sora's. So it's really the 15 or so hours of Tsugumi's route + the 15 or so hours of Sora's + the 15 or so hours of You's route + the 15 or so hours of Sara's route + the 20 or so hours of the True route.

Thanks for preordering the upcoming Cthulhu mythos visual novel Demonbane, and for being so patient while we got the game ready. We wanted to clarify one point: we have started “pre-processing” the orders for the game, but it has not actually begun shipping yet. Since we have so many preorders, we’ve learned that it’s faster to prepare the postage etc. on the envelopes ahead of time to avoid delays getting the game out when it arrives at our San Diego office. We expect the game to ship next week, and we’ll make sure to rush it out to you as quickly as we can.

Thanks again for your support, and we’ll get this awesome game title out to you very soon!

I'd love me some Atlach Nacha. The settings sounded strangely appealing to me, and now I can't get it out of my mind.

We went over the stupidity of that too. The average anime episode is something like .001% of a short VN. If they spent three times as much time on it as a side project as they did on their primary projects, then they would still not finish it until 2015.

Yes but Aisha is pretty obviously the main heroine. In the case of this game, it's one-sided and more than 40% of the h-scenes involve the loli.

[Anonymous No.]

For LB, judging from the SVN all of Haruka's route and all but one script from Kud's route have been edited.
The last script for Kud is not incredibly large, but it still has quite a bit of text (710 lines).
Phlebas is pretty fast, so the patch for those two routes will likely be out before the month is over, based on their prior speed.

There has yet to be a successful collaborative project with multiple translators significantly contributing. That should tell you something, and the answer is that the translator is the most important part of a project and without a dedicated one, the project is fucked.

Here's the original thread.
http://archive.easymodo.net/jp/thread/7264917#p7279766
I think the "good points" were that it _could_ be easier than anime because you have voice, text, and visuals, which is patently retarded when your workspace is a text file.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7316213
>The average anime episode is something like .001% of a short VN.
With your average episode clocking in at around 300-400 lines, they aren't as small as you think.

On an unrelated note, progress for the Hoshimemo common route is 18744/18749.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7316871
Not 300-400 lines. 300-400 short sentences. A single VN 'line' is typically double or triple that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7316871
that's .7% of muramasa's 55000 lines. at a rate of 400 lines a week it would take 2.6 years to finish.

Any recommendations on FINISHED fan translations? These seem to be extremely rare (otakus rarely finish what they start).

[Insemination No.]

>>7316880
Not too sure how fansubbing works nowadays, but timing and transcribing by ear is still a significant amount of work.

Either way, they're pretty confident about what they're doing, seeing how they're not going to utilise the 30% that's already been done, despite having the option.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7316915
Other people usually time the scripts, and if you think anybody goes out of their way to transcribe things before translating them, you're insane.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7316921
Also, any decent fansub program will have a sound display so you can easily just highlight the spoken words. There's more to it if you want to match it to scene transitions, but the only reason you'd "do it by ear" is if you were willfully doing it the hardest way possible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7316915
Confidence and stupidity often overlap. Doki is not the most reputable of fansub groups.
