>>8751299
It's okay for the first 3 or so chapters where events are fairly light hearted and they're not dwelling too long on any single chain of events. After that it introduces some inane conspiracy and an attempted rebellion, which given the incredibly silly setting feels out of place and doesn't feel well thought out at all, and events start dragging on far too long with pointless bullshit. Luckily, most routes end with Chapter 5. For the two main routes however, it carries on with 5 or so more hours of incredibly boring conspiracies and the like. It doesn't help that most of Chapter 4 and 5 on play out nearly exactly the same for every route.

Sure, given the number of heroines, you're nearly guaranteed to find one you like, but because of the number of them, most of them aren't very fleshed out.

Sometime last year there were screenshots posted on /m/, with target of Christmas 2011 for release date. Which passed with no updates whatsoever, and no updated in between.

On the other hand, it seems that someone else on /m/ different from the first guy is also working on TDA, but he can't hack rUGP, instead he's overwriting the ATLAS translation cache with his own translation such that ATLAS displays his translation instead of attempting to translate a line by itself. >>>/vg/2455041 A somewhat unsatisfactory method, but they're desperate.

>Hoshizora no Memoria - Fully translated, 20/44 scripts through revision, "ideally before 01 April" release planned
This is a troll project and will not be released, except for in the form of a troll patch that will be released as an April fools joke.
Since some autists can't understand communication, I will elaborate: the game will be translated, but the installer will attempt to troll the user in some way. I advise waiting for a pre-patched download or an extract of the installation files.

Why would the fact that it's moving at a decent speed bother you? Unless you take that as a sign of being a poor quality translation or something, but Ixrec's translations tend to be pretty solid in works where the original text is pretty straightforward, so I don't think that's too much to worry about. The only times he tends to struggle are works like Cross Channel where the writing style itself is important, and even there it could have easily just been his inexperience at the time as much as anything else, I've heard his Forest translation was much better. (Haven't gotten around to reading that one myself so can't give my own opinion on the matter.)

Unless you're just trying to be ironic or something, but your "fuck everything about this" at least seemed somewhat serious.

Your post amuses me. I especially liked the part where you can't read Nipponese and parroted a commonly re-stated opinion about Ixrec's translation of Cross Channel. I also appreciated your use of generic, unremarkable non-statements to qualify your claims, like when you said that the writing style was "important" in Cross Channel. Your topical, amateur analysis of the your "own" claims also gave me a smile. I hope you enjoy "back seat translating" as much as you seem to. (You will probably never read Forest, and even if you did you wouldn't be qualified to comment on the accuracy of the translation.)

Hey, I had no problems with Cross Channel's translation when I read it, and it is still one of my favorite VNs to this day.

There's nothing wrong with restating a common opinion. The speculative and general nature of the original remarks were appropriate for someone who has heard information from a source he trusts but isn't completely sure due to a lack of experience.

For example, I trust that the LHC at CERN won't create a black hole that will swallow the Earth or make a portal to a dimension full of lizard men, even though I don't have any experience with the math that underlies it. I may be "parroting without experience" but that doesn't mean I'm wrong for trusting the opinions of people that do have experience.

If Steins;Gate somehow ended up on Stream and is successful commercially, expect a surge of Jap companies tripping over themselves trying to get titles out in the West, especially those with titles that are all ages.

Somehow it seems like they are doing decent recently (or at least not as bad as they had been historically). They've been putting out hard copies with Jast fairly regularly (which got them voices for Koihime), along with with smaller things such as this cleaning up of the site by hosting stuff themselves, doing contests again, setting up the affiliates and preorder system, or more presence at conventions. Additionally it's been some time since we heard them beg for people to buy stuff, and they've already added a couple games this year which should be decent sellers for them (Eroge and Otoboku). It could just be perception, but at a glance they don't exactly give off the impression that they are the nearly dead company hanging on by a thread that they used to look like.

Yes, but they wouldn't be so thrilled if the west got an uncensored and cheaper release at the exact same time they got the title, thus why there will never be an effort to get them out at the same time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8763793
Yeah, true enough.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8763793
I don't think that's the biggest reason. It's mainly that translation takes way too long, there's just so much more compared to a video game. You'd have to have a bilingual writing team. Even novels anticipated as best-sellers in America take months at minimum to get translated.

[Anonymous No.]

It's also worth remembering that only a tiny fraction of titles get official translations, so with so many old choices to bring over, there is little reason to add the hurdles or risk a leak to go for a same time release.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8764083
Also that games (and anime) here cost half to a third of what they do in Japan.

[Anonymous No.]

I think they could potentially make it work if they just reduced the download only price a lot to be the same as the price they're charging Western customers, and then charge that higher price for the hard copy. Most people that are willing to pay that price wouldn't buy a downloadable only edition anyway, even if it's cheaper, so I think it'd kind of work out. Probably not the kind of thing they'd actually be willing to try any time soon, but I think it could work.

Professional programmers are the ones that make the games, and of course they aren't completely useless. It's just that it seems Japanese people in general tend to have problems with programming or something.

So I've heard, anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised, they STILL haven't moved to UTF-8 in their latest games.

[Cudder !MhMRSATORI!!FBeUS42x4uM No.]

There is no advantage to. Japanese OS uses Shift-JIS/EUC-JP by default and they only need Japanese text, not every other language UTF-8 supports.

If you mean support for other languages, that is a benefit that DOES NOT APPLY in this use case.

So who in the world updated VNDB to show that the patch for Monster Girl Quest was released?
Yet under "official site" it links the "The End is Nigh" post on his blog.

That's... not the same as a release. Why?

It's going to be released today. Maybe that's why.

>but it looks like they passed over some of Score's early stuff (mainly Sensei Da-isuki 1 and 2, probably for obvious reasons)
I'll be blunt, Magical Teacher is definitely not far from the Sensei games in term of loli factor. It's actually the first game to be licensed that actually have a loli as the main character and all it implies (almost HALF of the h-scenes in Magical Teacher involve the loli character). MangaGamers is being really bold on this released, though I doubt they'd go any further than that, but that's certainly showing they have some guts unlike companies like JAST.

Well sure. But it's not released yet, so to place it in the newly released list isn't quite right.
And the URL linked to the patch isn't even where it is going to be uploaded.

Just a question, is the character just loli in terms of looks, or is she actually young?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8782607
And I would be glad to support that move, but it's fucking Score/Nexton. Their characters are a hygienic nightmare. Nothing serves as a worse cock block than improper hygiene.

I don't think her actual age is mentioned, they can't say a character is underage in an official eroge.
But you can't make a mistake about it, everything about her is as loli as it can get. Trust me the bath scene was extremely fappable.

The artist for SCORE is just bad at drawing non-loli characters. His artstyle works better on lolis.

This is all of your fault for constantly bitching whenever anyone 'localizes' anything. This is so much worse.

Here's a screenshot of their common route TL notes. Most things that have "____ means ____" means the word was untranslated in-game.

That was the Isuzu patch translation notes. I just installed the newest one and they changed the TL notes.

Also I do believe it's 100%, or at least Asuho's route is now translated.

HoshiMemo is a comedy / moege, hence the staff assumed its readers wouldn't be "HURR EROGES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS DURR" stuck-ups, and inserted some light jokes here and there. Alas, it seems they were wrong.

The proper action from here is to assume Hoshizora no Memoria has trolling in it somewhere, and to play through Monster Girl Quest II until that inevitably gets cleaned up.
