Fortunately, yuzusoft's writing is extremely simple, so even Insemination shouldn't be able to make too many terrible errors of meaning in the translation.

Of course, the English will still be extremely awkward. Look at the screenshot they posted in the announcement: "Unfamiliar scenery outside the carriage window scrolls past." Who calls a train a "carriage?" Why is the sentence ordered like Yoda was speaking it?

>>8928256
>>8928258

In general, the project is being held a bit back until all of our schedules free up. The only reason I decided to update is because I think I can rush out the prologue patch before summer hits. I'll be out relatively late from school compared to most of my team and we're busy at the moment with stuff, so full-time translation hasn't been done yet.

If I can get it to you guys before June, with the quality I think is acceptable, it will be released ahead of what I've announced for the prologue patch release date. Otherwise, it will be held back a bit.

Pic related. The other hacker for the project tested the patch out on his TV and it looks readable, so that should quell hopefully any concerns on that.

Carriage is the British term for a passenger car. Its usage in this instance is correct. That, however, doesn't extend to the rest of the sentence, which is phrased oddly.

This would feel awkward on its own in a VN. Imagine you were just given a CG and this line.

It can be hacked via a trick. Pic related. Unfortunately, this will not work for the majority of the game, especially at the parts where there is dialogue.

He was talking about editing 200 lines in 30 minutes, but I think that's still relatively unrealistic (assuming there aren't a ton of short lines that are simply "..." or one-word sentences). I'd still say that's about an hour's worth of work, at least.

Unless the editor is only doing spell-checking and grammar fixes, a half-hour isn't enough. There's a lot of time to be spent on context, consistency, and an overall natural feel for each line.

You can make VN engine as complex as you want to, but the core functionality of VN engine (which is overlaying sprites on backgrounds and printing some text lines on top of it while playing voices on top of BGM) isn't difficult to implement even if writing from scratch instead of using an already available one.
Writing scripts isn't significantly different from writing a text document, just with adding VN engine commands here and there. For example:
http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=TL01A01_TL01A17.txt
Common VN engines are nScripter and Kirikiri for Japanese VNs, Ren'Py for OELVNs. Novelty seems to stall in beta, as does ViLE. All of them are free to use.

TL;DR: bump

It hasn't been updated in 2-3 weeks.
It's basically like Air, never going to be fully translated and people will constantly tease the fuck out of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8936597
Air will almost surely finished, since it's being done by someone who has fully translated 2 other titles, and an editor who is keeping up

But how many attempts have failed and how many years has it been?

Remember 'Quartett!'?

No, you probably don't, but Quartett!'s project was stalled for four years and considered permanently dropped (its members having, apparently, left the scene and moved on to bigger and better things), when all of a sudden it was spontaneously released.

Air is about as sure a bet as Rewrite, at this point.

According to a vndb thread, Moogy is translating something for Jast

Can’t say I disagree with him.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8938535
Me either, his points here are valid, although that isn't too surprising as between aaeru and Moogy, I'm more likely to agree with Moogy on most issues.

I am interested though in seeing Moogy release something though, simply to see what he considers a good translation, even though I expect it to be a good deal below the better fan translators out there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8938519
so he's trying to fuck jast over now?

i can see him, refusing to give up the translated script because it's "not up to his standards" and sitting on it indefinitely.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8938567
That results in a delay of one game and him getting fired, not like a fan translation where no one can touch him for such a decision.

[Anonymous No.]

Did I just read that right? Amagami?

I love whoever is doing this.

Majikoi S?

Anyone? Please...anyone...

I'm more interested in moogy actually translating something than seeing him beating Aeru's dead corpse over and over.
He'd better be the alpha and omega of eroge translation.
Can't wait for 2037.

Ever think there's a reason for that?

>Steins;Gate - 2nd pass of translation complete, 1 ch left for editing, rough patch out, Jast may pick up the project
I told you fucking faggots.
Damn it.

I don't know if it's a nukige though, there's a large amount of new non-fuckable characters

He isn't my child. He is the message of translations.

[Anonymous No.]

Huh, I just noticed. VNTS, not VNTLStatus.
What happened when I was not paying attention?

Could his Dra-Koi translation be what he is doing for Jast?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8939549
Possible. It is Nitroplus, after all. I would think they'd have announced it by now if it was, though.

But Message actually released stuff...

[Anonymous No.]

>>8939734
Every project on TLwiki can be said to have been released by Moogy to some extent. After all, these are games that would never have been translated if not for him.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8939851
Good one moogy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8938519

The stuff Moogy translated for Jast includes some small part of Demonbane and an short ending of Hanachirasu.

Good comparison, actually. They're both cockteases

The only thing proved was that most of the people on this thread, by which I probably mean /vg/, can't speak proper English.
