/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So they got someone who could speak English correctly. Awesome.

WHICH GIRL SHOULD I CHOOSE?
HOW MANY DEMONS SHOULD I KILL?
WHERE SHOULD I CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS?

Stupid marketting names.
"Which Girl Should I Choose" is the same as Hinata Bokko

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Suck My Dick or Die!

>>1042566
It does sound like the very best game ever.
The only better way to name a game would probably be "Suck my tentacle or die, loli!"

>>1042533
Can someone provide the original name or a getchu of "My Sex Slave is a Classmate"

>>1042592
Surprisingly, this is the only game where they didn't change the title.

>Two problems were sadly evident: lack of honorifics

Fuck you, honorifics have no business in a serious translation, if they're so important to you go play the game in japanese

>>1042609
"Natsuki gave Natsuki some coffee"

>>1042609
You're wrong.

>>1042609
I have no problems with them in a voiced game, where hear them anyway.

Suck My Dick or Die's official description

>The anti-government guerrillas were fighting agaist the government in the country which was politically unrest. There was an incident that a little girl was raped and murdered by the guerrillas in a small village. Mr. Prosper, who is the commander of the military, advanced his men to this small village to hunt the guerrillas. But the incident was all planned out by him, so that he could have a raping party for himself. The girls, who were suspicious as guerrillas, were arrested. That was the beginning of the insane raping party.

>>1042639
At first, I read guerillas as gorillas.

>>1042639
>insane raping party
How come I never get invited to parties like that?

>>1042639
Some girl gets killed in the demo despite having sucked dick. What a misleading title.

Now the question is...where is the sauce.

>>1042660
Guerrilla Rape is a much more accurate title, but I guess maybe just not as catchy.

Honorifics are fine in some games, as long as their use is consistent. In games where changes in how one addresses another, it doesn't always make sense if they use English equivalent because in general conversation between two English speakers would not see a change and the point isn't properly explained in English (excluding a case where Mr., Ms., etc is used.)


As for the picture, this is the only case I recall in this game that they mentioned "kun" which seems very out of place in the translation.

August 10th still listed as 4 games, although I doubt they will do a quad release.

Sandwiched by my wife and her sister
>A couple who met in their high school years, married later on and are a having happy and adventurous sex life. A wife works as a manager of the restaurant who brings in the money, and her husband stays home taking care of household chores everyday. The young wife is adventurous, fun-loving and never turns her sexual advances down. There are peaceful days until the wife's sister, a college student, moves in. As their curiosity grows, there is a secret adventure developing between the husband and his sister-in-law living under the same roof. In the end, there is one amazing voyage awaiting them.


Shera, My Witch

>One day, a sexy witch, Shera, showed up in the life of a desperate horny high-school boy, Satoru. Thanks to her sex appetite, Satoru's luck has turned around!"Look out girls!!"

Suck my dick or die! (description above)

Tasty Shafts

>"Will you go out with me?" Mitsuna was asked to go out by the twins, Kyouichi and Reiji, at the same time! It was too difficult of a choice for indecisive Mitsuna to make. "I can't choose between Kyouichi and Reiji......" "Well, then will you go out with both of us?" The trio then started a new life which they enjoy doing everything together including sex!

>>1042665
If you're not able to express a shift in familiarity without using honorifics, you don't deserve to be paid for translating.

>>1042691
Honorifics should remain in games that are voiced and have importance to the plot, since while you read you hear the honorifics and they do a better job than the English equivalent (and most people playing will think, "oh, that is how they translated it") and the vast majority of people who play such games will understand the honorifics (and translation notes can be added for those who don't)

>>1042687
They all sound like masterpieces

I am waiting for the classic The Queen and Princess as Your Rewards

>>1042687
>Suck my dick or die!
lol

>>1042655

Boss! Stay on the path. There's guerrillas in these woods.

>>1042666
How about Gorilla Rape instead?

>>1042687
>>One day, a sexy witch, Shera, showed up in the life of a desperate horny high-school boy, Satoru. Thanks to her sex appetite, Satoru's luck has turned around!"Look out girls!!"

brilliant plot

Do I smell porn without much plot?
Finally...

>>1042727
That'd be amazing

>>1042533
The gold one, of course.

Which Girl Should I Choose torrent, does it have the patched improved translation?

"Which Girl Should I Choose" is the only title I really hate. Hinatabokko translates into "Sunlight Bath", why couldn't they just go with that?

While the game is not a shinning example of porn with plot, it's still anything but the usual high-school harem eroge the title implies.

>>1042777
yes

eagerly waiting for that third game
My Sex Slave is a classmate

>>1042777
What, there's a torrent already?

>>1042777
>>1042794
Can I have link to torrent?

>>1042837
>>1042848
It's on TT

shitsux, lanze

no u

You can always provide translation notes in a separate .txt

The point of translating isn't to arbitrarily leave certain words untranslated just because it's difficult to convey the meaning in english.
What Pros do when they come across sections that are untranslatable is they write some filler text and then provide a footnote, or they release a separate reference file where they compile all their translation notes.

This is how it's done when translating every other language, Japanese is not unique in that it uses honorifics or other language conventions that are not found in English.

They actually hired someone who knows English and shit? Awesome.

If it weren't for the copy-protection shit, I'd actually be willing to buy their stuff. At least this saves me some money, since it looks like they have a number of titles I would've bought in the works. But I still wish they'd go with actual physical discs...

>>1043131
there are however problems with that in a visual novel

1.) It is a bother to need to go and search for translation notes because of a hard to translate section, while keeping honorifics that most people playing already knows makes this not an issue, and a readme.txt that is read before playing can tell the people who are unused to them are.

2.) if you have a footnotes section that explains specific points in the plot, you will have some spoilers in there that people may end up reading beforehand since they would be listed since you are taking the approach to deal with stuff when they come up and putting them in a list, rather than explaining ahead of time the general rules which would have no spoilers.

>>1043131
They are creating a project for people who have a larger knowledge of Japanese than the average person, and they are creating a product to sell to these people, which changes the general approach. Although it is true that one would normally fully translate everything, if you are selling a game that the audience would understand the game better if honorifics are kept in, then that is what you should do, even if it isn't the traditional method of translating, particular in the case of a voiced game where the Japanese is still heard.

Hopefully they are successful enough to get more companies on board.

>>1043256
I give them one year before they're out of business.

Problem with pornogames: Main audience is underage, yet underage people are not legal to buy the game. Piratism thus runs wild.

>>1043317
They really need to do well with the Circus titles, as they will be the main seller

Circus, more so than the other companies involved, seems very interested in getting their games internationally and wants to make sure a good product gets out there (their biggest motivation is probably to whore out Da Capo more, but thats fine, it helps us.) Circus expressed their concern with early complaints, and they are continuing to listen to complaints and can put pressure on Mangagamer to do a good job because the Da Capo line is Mangagamer's best bet for a successful future.

The errors do help with the plot at time.

>>1043317

I doubt this. Porn games actually make money.

The non-porn VNs are the ones that do not sell. Just ask Hirameki.

>>1044008
Bullshit interactive DVDs that are censored from their original form do not sell well.

>>1042864
I may sound like a newfag, but what is TT?

>>1044035

in b4 shitstorm

>>1044020

Actually, they were making some profit with those.

No one buying their normal PC games is what did them in.

>>1044046
Not sure about the other games, but didn't Ever17 do well?

>>1044113

yeah, its ranked #2 by the elevens, right behind clannad.

>>1044139
Not ranked, we all know Ever17 is fucking awesome, I mean US sales.

>>1044113
Ever17 broke even last year. The game's US release was.. back in 2005?

I think it was the only Hirameki PC game that broke even. (´Д｀*)

>>1043986
Excellent.

>>1044008

So I'm assuming some people in Japan actually were able to fap to the badly-drawn, awkward, tacked-on sex scenes in Tsukihime?

I haven't really played a VN with any decent porn. Thank God for the fast-forward function.

>>1044378
The Kagetsu Tohya scenes were good.

>>1044396

Downloading now

>>1044396

That's only because Ren herself is good. Akiha's scene was also tolerable, reflecting the character.

>>1044378
I for one enjoyed the dream sequences.

>>1044455
Proving once more that that succubus is the sexiest girl in Tsukihime.

>>1044396
So there's a H-scene with her? White Len's ending in Melty Blood also hinted at one.
Also, how good was her scene?

>>1044396
Translation where?

>>1044441
Akiha dream sequence in Tsukihime though, was the BEST

>>1044500
there are two scenes in the game, both are hot (first includes a footjob, second, where image is from, is quite good)

>>1044512
It has been fucking translated for a while now

>>1044525

Lookin kinda assassin there, Sou.

Is Kagetsu Tohya on /rs/?
If yes, is there any mindfuck/BAWWWW in there?

>>1044536
should be on /rs/

I will say this, do yourself a favor and use the walk through for this from the beginning (can't begin midway, because of the bizarre setup)
