And a small bonus for anyone who cares that I can't really fit in with the rest of the stuff: Apparently Sakura Angels has voice acting now. It's Japanese, so I'm sure that's relevant to someone.

Is this a troll thread?

We do English VN shit here?

>>14067013
Dude, there are TONS of people who believe in God, Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Gautama, and you asked this in the thread? smh tbqphwyf

>>14067017
Never mind.

It's a troll thread.

>>14067013
>>14067019
What in the name of fuck are you talking about? Are you bitching about Fault or something? Because that's a translation of a Japanese VN.

>>14067025
I'm talking about these shit:

>>14066983
>>14066999

>>14067035
I don't see any shit there. You realize we've always had VNTS threads, right?

I assume you're trolling so I'm going to stop replying to you after this. Anything you respond with will be summarily dismissed as a troll post.

>>14067038
You honestly cannot see the English VN shit there?

But never mind, I will stop responding to this troll thread. Literally against the rules.

>>14067044

>>14067044
Sakura Angels is literally the only OELVN mentioned, and it's specifically pointed out as not meant to be included with the rest of the stuff, and just thrown in as a special case since it's Japanese voice acting. Which is relevant here. So you're a complete idiot.

>>14067025
SC2VN is an English visual novel about esports. It doesn't belong on a translation thread.

>>14067057
"SC2VN" is definitely not a japanese game.

And no, japanese voice acting doesn't make a VN japanese.

I don't think I can't be any clearer with my quotes.

>>14067084
>I don't think I can be*

>>14067081
>>14067084
Shows how little you fucking know about SC2VN.

And that's why Sakura Angels is a special case and not included in the actual list. It's otaku culture. You massive. Retard.

>>14067057
It's a growing trend for English visual novels trying to emulate Japanese ones to use Japanese Seiyuu. They do it to pander to people who prefer Japanese voice acting and more deceptively to trick people into thinking their game is Japanese. You're just confusing things more by listing such games in a translation thread.

>>14067099
IT'S NOT IN THE FUCKING LIST!

>>14067098
> SC2VN - The Esports Visual Novel

Even if the team has a few Japanese people on it, that doesn't make the game itself Japanese. The story itself takes place in South Korea.

You just make me waste 2 minutes of my life visiting the website of gookclick: the VN.

I'm just gonna get out now.

>>14067110
Oh, okay, I guess anime isn't Japanese because Korean people work on anime, and all these shows that aren't set in Japan don't count as anime either. You're right, people should just stop posting about everything ever.

>>14067126
You are right in one thing.

I should stop posting in this thread and wait for proper OP.

>>14067126
The writers are Americans. The game is about playing StarCraft. And it's set in South Korea.

OP is trolling? SubaHibi doesn't seem out any of the places I checked.

Not cool...

>>14067143
What the FUCK does the setting being South Korea have to do with anything?

>>14067142
I'd prefer if you stopped posting on this board in general.

>>14067149
You're saying the game is Japanese, but everything about it takes inspiration from other countries.

Hint: Not OELVN

>>14067158
Truth is, it's coming out a bit later today. The thread would have been instantly outdated so that had to be factored in.

>>14067185
Can you fucking provide proof of that claim? Unless you're one of TLWiki fools.

https://twitter.com/moogy0/status/640817443926081536

Herkz and Moogy haven't mentioned anything at all about a release as of yet because they're still in beta.

>>14067175
American people living in Japan. Hence the name, Team Eleven Eleven. It was actually written in Japanese first before being translated to English. Dallas is simply where a couple US employees live.

>>14067193
That tweet was a joke referencing Mirror Moon. It's understandable that you don't get it if you're new to the scene but you shouldn't read into it or anything.

If you'd been on IRC you'd find they've actually been talking about the release there publicly all day.

>>14067185
>it's coming out a bit later today
Herkz, is that you?

>>14067208
Bullshit. Half the game still isn't translated. They're using QC to stall while they try to catch up, same as every other translation project. And like every other project they will get a "sudden cease & desist" when they realize they're never going to be able to do so.

>>14067208
>That tweet was a joke referencing Mirror Moon

That's great and all but have you seen this hot new meme called grinman bro?

>>14067202
>It was actually written in Japanese first before being translated to English

Show me the birth certificate. It was a fucking kickstarter oelvn.

>>14067210
It should be obvious from my typing style that I'm not. But I actually am one of the team, which is why I can tell you that it's coming.

>>14067220

Something's coming alright, and it's gonna be my cock in your tight little boypussy

>>14067217
I wonder how that guy feels about being unjustly labeled as a mongler of cocks.

>>14067217
I don't get why you're using grinman to mock me. He clearly didn't know it was a Mirror Moon joke, which is why I had to explain. I never acted like it was some mindblowing revelation.

>>14067228

What are you talking about bro, that's grinman!

>>14067208
Fuck off herkz.

>>14067217
>It was a fucking kickstarter oelvn.

Yes, they had to label it as English/Dallas on Kickstarter because of some trouble with Kickstarter policies. But the game? Japanese. If you're having so much trouble believing this why don't you ask one of us on Twitter? Or are you scared to be proven wrong?

>>14067234
>Latest releases: Cannonball

Damn, those guys haven't done SHIT lately

>>14067234

>>14067253
>>14067250
I don't shitpost. I only post relevant information for the betterment of everyone here.

>>14067239
Yep, and Cannonball was hardly their project. It was done entirely by one dude (nekoyasha) who just happened to be using TLWiki as the host. Imagine if he'd just used his own site instead, what the fuck would their latest release be?

>>14067259
Such as how a Starcraft 2 VN came out.

Like /jp/ even gives a shit about Starcraft 2 of all things.

>>14067259
I always knew that was Herkz's tripcode.

>>14067261
You sure gave a shit when it caused YU-NO's release to be delayed until June.

>he wasn't OP

lmao herkz.

Why is it that this guy always manages to fuck up everything and then comes as if he was trying to represent TLWiki in any meaningful way?

>>14067298
That is probably because /jp/ moderation is nearly nonexistent. You only see threads get deleted if they are legitimately off-topic (meaning 100% and not "oh no he mentioned OELVNs), and even then that can take a while. Pornographic images also tend to sit around for a full day even after being reported.

>>14067331
>/vg/
>having anything to do with /jp/ other than these clowns
Wut.

>>14067260
It seems it was Grisaia, but I'm looking at this list and TLWiki hardly fucking does anything. It's a wonder they even became popular. Just pick a few big-name VNs to work on for a million years and enjoy internet fame for eternity.

Also apparently Moogy translated something besides Dra Koi (which was Ixrec anyway).
https://vndb.org/v7445

I have no idea what the fuck this is.

>>14067336
Well, /vg/ moderation is more or less in the same situation. I didn't think it was worth clarifying.

>>14067340
It's a meme VN.

Just like Cannonball.

>>14067340
Back in the day it actually was a pretty popular hub for translation projects. It's just that most of the groups that used it have long since disbanded, so it's not used much anymore.

>>14067345
How the fuck is Cannonball a meme VN? It's just sci-fi racing action.

>>14067347
And most of those projects never even finished in the first place. Essentially TLWiki has done absolutely fucking nothing.

>>14067350
>Cannonball is not a meme VN
Rule of thumb, if it has any form of connection to TLWiki it's a meme VN.

>>14067357
Yeah man, Katahane is such a meme motherfucker shit cock cunt dick bitch whore.

>>14067376
Hey TJ, remember when you tried to post OPs in /vg/ and you got banned for announcing reports and you got miffed out?

https://archive.moe/vg/thread/50898390/#q50898390

>>14067382
What kind of fucking retard announces reports? They specifically say in the rules that they ban for that. I actually love seeing those posts though, because I know that person is about to get fucked and they entirely deserve it. It is SO satisfying.

>>14067402
I like claiming that I reported a post, but then I don't actually do it. It's so satisfying to see morons delete their posts because they're scared of being banned.

>>14067411
I believe claiming you've done it, regardless of whether or not you did, is still a bannable offense. You're playing a dangerous game there, because if anyone with a brain were to turn around and report you there'd probably be trouble. Hell, I've personally owned some people pretty hard that way. But hey, it is fun to walk close to the fire, especially since there are a bunch of stupid people standing around and you can throw them in.

>>14067382
>2 days later he comes out of hiding under the bed and announces the cancellation of Subahibi because /jp/ hurt his manlet feelings
Would /jp/ feel bad for him?

>>14067432
Uh, no?

Also remember how Herkz got fired from Sekai Project because we sent those emails to Frontwing? Good times. Obviously he hasn't admitted to it out of shame but I talked with koestl about it through private messages.

>>14067236
>>14067202

The guys in charge are TJ and Tim. This game is obviously not Japanese. And just because someone is living in Japan doesn't make them Japanese. The Winged Cloud writers or AJ Tilley could move to Japan, it wouldn't make the next Beach Bounce episode a Japanese visual novel.

>>14067236
>why don't you ask one of us on Twitter?
What proof would you provide? Just throwing out a name people can't substantiate isn't going to convince anyone. And being bilingual doesn't make someone Japanese either. Even if a Japanese script for this game exists, it doesn't mean that a Japanese person wrote it.

>>14067466
It would if it was written in Japanese.

Fault's written by an American guy but he wrote it in Japanese for the hell of it. Nobody complains about that being an OELVN. Because the only thing that matters is the language it was originally written in.

>>14067472
>schnozzle

Koda? Is that you?

I can't stop laughing at how you dropped off the link, said "lel", and immediately left. So much swag.

>>14067259
>capitalizing the H on herkz
you are slacking Ti9

>>14067493
At least fault looks and feels like an JVN. SC2VN looks and feels like fanfiction that someone on lemmasoft or tumblr wrote.

>>14067236
>why don't you ask one of us on Twitter?

>/jp/
>using Twitter
>asking biased people

lmaoooo

>>14067511
If he's like me, he does it as a sort of "fuck you" to Herkz. Like, I have so little respect for him that I don't even bother typing his name the way he wants it typed. I do the same with Dovac.

>>14067527
Biased people? What the fuck? You're asking the creators of the game if they're Japanese. Or you're being a bitch who can't ask anyone anything without being hidden behind the veil of anonymity.

>>14067536
You can't be serious.

>>14067514
Oh, so the "feel" is all that matters now? Good to know.

The fact of the matter is, Fault is a JVN because it was written in Japanese. That is, once again, the only thing that matters. The original language. If SC2VN were written in Japanese, it would not matter how it looked or felt. It would be a Japanese visual novel. Though, it isn't, obviously.

>>14067539
I actually can be very serious, but that post is not one of those times.

>>14067536
They could make a claim with no proof to substantiate it, so that wouldn't resolve anything. Also, see >>14067487 for why showing proof of a Japanese script doesn't mean the game is Japanese either.

>>14067542
>If SC2VN were written in Japanese, it would not matter how it looked or felt. It would be a Japanese visual novel.

Not it wouldn't. Any moron who half knows Japanese could potentially write a vn in Japanese and it doesn't make it Japanese. Now all evn writers have to do is claim their works were originally written in Japanese and then evns would no longer exist.

>>14067552
1) It doesn't matter if a Japanese person wrote it. It matters if the game was originally written in Japanese. Because then it would be a TRANSLATION of a JAPANESE VISUAL NOVEL.
2) Exactly what reason would the creators of the VN have to lie about its original language?

>>14067569
>Any moron who half knows Japanese could potentially write a vn in Japanese

Which is what Fault is, and that's accepted as a Japanese visual novel and not an OELVN.

>>14067571
> Exactly what reason would the creators of the VN have to lie about its original language?

Many JVN players won't play EVNs. EVNs are seen as pale imitations.

>>14067035
>>14067044
I don't see anything about English VNs in >>14066964.

>>14067580
Yes (well, it doesn't stop me, though), but SC2VN is made for Starcraft fans. Why would they lie? They'll tell you it's an EVN.

>>14067571
I think it's really shitty when a person whose first language is English just writes a VN in Japanese for the heck of it, or to purposely try to claim their VN is Japanese. On the surface fault could be mistaken for a pure JVN, but no one is going to think that SC2VN is one due to both it's art style and subject matter.

>>14067600
Shitty it may be, but it does make it a JVN, because that is the only necessary qualification.

>>14067600
>primary language is English
How do we even know that for sure?

>>14067236
>why don't you ask one of us on Twitter?
You know you're admitting to viraling your own work without permission of moot or anyone part of 4chan, which also has nothing to do with /jp/ as it is not a /jp/ project as far as I can tell, and that's actually a bannable offense right?

Doesn't matter if it's Japanese or not in this matter.

>>14067612
I've spoken to Japanese people who learned English as a second language. I could understand most of what they were saying and vice versa, but their English was far from perfect. And Japanese to English translations done by native Japanese speakers should tell you that their English can be really off.

>>14067619
Relax, it was a joke to make people like you freak out. I've never even played Starcraft, to be honest. I do like playing Tychus in Heroes of the Storm, though.

>>14067627
No, that doesn't fucking matter, that has nothing to do with what I was accusing you of, which in turn you're actually proving on your own.

We don't even know if your primary language is even English.

>>14067628
>doesn't even base it off experience

>>14067631
>what I was accusing you of, which in turn you're actually proving on your own.
I wasn't aware that you were accusing me of anything.

>>14067645
I understood him.

Did you forget to take your pills today?

>>14067643
I was born and raised in the USA, which means I'm an American. And I'm betting the writers for the games I was talking about were too, so they're baka gaijin.

You're actually african and that's why you have no experience in Starcraft 2.

>>14067701
That would make no sense for a number of reasons, most notably that I witnessed my birth. The reason I have no experience with Starcraft 2 is I don't like RTS games. The micromanagement is unpleasant to me. HotS and such are different though because they're about controlling one unit.

More effort than it's worth. Most people won't even notice it.

>>14069926
Cunt.

Um, what exactly is Sekai Project's association with Shiny Days? They're listed on VNDB for it.

>>14070254
They translate it.

>>14070262
NO!

I think it's safe to say that BlackDragonHunt is easily the second best translator in the scene. The best is obviously Makoto, but I almost didn't want to include him because it's kind of unfair. Like comparing gods to mortals.

But yeah, if we're being that specific, BDH is the #1 mortal translator.

>>14070435
BDH, pls.
What did you even translate? DGR? It was shit translation.

>>14070452
Have you even played it? Danganronpa has one of the best fan translations out there.

I suspect BDH will singlehandedly turn Pygmalion from an "okay" game to a great one. His translation is that good.

Thank goodness BDH took over the translation of Trample on Schatten from Moogy. Moogy would have ruined it, but BDH will be able to do it justice.

>>14070459
What about in comparison with the licensed one?

Clearly Ralen is best translator. Nobody ever found any mistakes in his translations.

>>14070473
The licensed one is utter shit, just like all NISA translations. You have bullshit like "the Blackened" and "Genocide Jill" and they arbitrarily use everyone's first names instead of their last names. And awful font choices all around. And then that's not even getting into all the translation mistakes.

>>14070482
Who is Ralen? The guy from Spectrobes?

>>14070516
Oh yeah, the new guy. Yeah, he's looking good. And it's true, right now he has a perfect track record. Wait a minute, that's true of me too. So I am the best translator. ...Is this how it happened to Moogy? I understand everything now.

I don't blame MangaGamer for choosing BBH over a Rance game (in fact, I don't care about either). What bothers me is how they played the 'buy our shitty games and we'll bring you better games, we can't get you the good games directly unfortunately' card once again, and this time we have proof it's bullshit. They intentionally went for BBH instead of Rance, then lied to the community about being forced to take BBH while they really totally wanted to do Rance immediately. We have to buy their games, otherwise Rance is truly impossible for them!

You guys keep complaining about how Dovac lies to customers, but how is this any better? Or is it okay this time because it's MangaGamer and MG totally is doing everything for our best interests and not just because they're a company trying to make money?

>>14070665
> this time we have proof it's bullshit
Nope, all you have is some delusions of /vg/ autists. Please go read dictionary definition on word "proof".
> They intentionally went for BBH instead of Rance
No, they didn't. There was no Rance on table, only different nukige from AS, and they chose best one.

>>14070685
Please stop responding to copypasta.

As everybody predicted, dovac didn't last even month and is back on twitter already. Should expect amusing reddit shitposting soon too.

>>14070710
Is his reddit account back, though? I don't think they have a way to undelete accounts. In fact he might have just been shadowbanned for vote manipulation.

Sure was worth a second thread this week with
such quality discussion going on in here.

>>14071311
What do you expect when cancer makes a thread

Does anyone else not care about masturbating but still have an interest in reading h-scenes? I guess for me there's kind of an informative value to them. I don't like when the girl sounds unhappy though. I want to feel happy for her.

>>14071327
I read them if they fit into the story well enough. Sex can be just as much part of character development as anything else. I probably skip as many as I read though.

>>14071163
Well, that's somewhat understandable, if a shame. I just like how Palpatine managed to kill this guy numerous times in some of the most brutal ways possible because he was able to keep reviving him in a clone body with Force magic. That's some next-level torture right there. He was an ugly but brilliant man.

Anyway, you should say bants instead of banter, because that's what's hip. You could also say banthas, although that would be silly.

>>14071338
In your opinion, what are some good examples of this? No, I'm not looking for recs (I have plenty of personal experience), I'm just curious to know what you think.

>>14071327
Me too. I just don't like skipping them even if I'm not interested.

Not sure about doing it for the purpose of "informative value".

>>14071367
If memory serves, ero scenes are an important part of the story in some of the Grisaia routes, and Saya no Uta (from the translated ones).

Otherwise, you'd be committing sacrilege by skipping ero scenes in Oretsuba (and would deserve to die). While in Gunjou no Sora wo Koete and most Maruto VNs they're vital for character development. I can't imagine White Album 2 working without H.

Ti9, I know you're still around here. You always are. I need a higher quality version of this screenshot. You read every English translated VN, so I'm sure you can get it. Hop to it.

>>14071367
Hello Lady had pretty funny h-scenes. Especially that fellatio lecture.

>>14071451
>I can't imagine White Album 2 working without H.

Didn't that have an anime?

>>14071406
I guess what I mean is that I want to see if they have any value as a written work beyond mere eroticism. I'd love to see a well written h-scene with beautiful prose. Even better if this manages to be in a nukige. But I have run into very few of those.

Naturally I also just plain don't like skipping things, presumably like you. If I'm reading something I want to see everything, good and bad. It just feels like I haven't had the complete experience if I skip something.

>>14071499
It did. They still had sex in it just it didn't show the nudity. But it didn't just fade to black or try to just brush it off and imply it happened like most adaptations do.

>>14071538
That seems like a pretty respectable adaptation.

Does Kira Kira have a good translation?

>>14071843
Nope.

>>14072010
What!

Rules and morals... they're just for weak people who can't live without them.

>>14066983
There's a VN (yes, a Japanese one) that Denpa picked up called "Atom Grrrl" which hasn't been in this list for months despite it being announced back in June. Is this just another example of VNTS man being a biased retard not fit to be creating these threads?

>>14072286
Are you retarded?

That's clearly not even VNTS.

>>14072296
What the fuck are you on about now?

>>14072286
Is there any news at all on that? I can't find anything other than a tweet announcing it.

On a side note, why doesn't Sekai have a real status page? The cynical side of me would say it's because they have no idea on how half their project are going themselves..

>>14072305

>>14073162
They do.

The Sakura series.

>>14073183
I have actually seen lots of Japanese fanart of Sakura stuff, and they did just give Sakura Angels a Japanese translation, among other things. It makes sense. People shit on these games but they apparently have worldwide appeal.

Apparently Aroduc's translating Princess Serenade.

Apparently Subahibi's patch is coming out tonight.

Apparently you're all faggots.

Apparently the guy above me is the biggest faggot of them all.

Don't be silly, nobody can be a bigger faggot than OP.

>>14074654
Not if I can help it.

>>14074666
OP isn't Dovac though.

>>14074695
Clannad (+Clannad After Story) and Sword Art Online are similar in one significant factor. Unlike the majority of animes with romance these two show's actually develop their main's characters affections for one another and you get to watch them grow in their relationships, as well as deal with various trials and tribulations. Overall, if you felt that either relationship (Kirito/Asuna or Nagisa/Tomoya) was fulfilling, I believe you will enjoy watching the other one develop as well.

>>14071843
>>14072010
Why wouldn't it? They even went back and retranslated it to be safe.

>>14075046
No? They redid Edelweiss but haven't done that to KiraKira, that's why the all ages KiraKira isn't on steam.

For fuck's sake, >euphoria in beta - shit's in beta for 2 months already! Oh come on...

>>14075096
Why not put all ages Edelweiss on Steam then?

I honestly don't see any problems with the Kira Kira translation anyway so I don't even know why they'd need to retranslate it.

>>14075121
There is no all ages version. I don't have a real reason why they haven't, but it could be because Edelweiss without porn would be weird(since it actually uses porn/nudity in its story for random things), compared to KiraKira that does just fine without porn, and doesn't really lose anything without it.

It's this game. Don't laugh, the developer seems like someone who really puts a lot of love and care into his work so that made me pretty interested. He was giving out free keys to anyone willing to test the game, though that's over now.

>>14075560
Now that was a happy accident.

>>14075566
They should announce some fucking release dates for their games. I don't understand how a company gets away with announcing so many games and releasing so few of them, all while being immensely secretive about their progress. By all logic they should be getting roasted for this. Hell, nobody even noticed this Atom Grrrl thing for three fucking months. What the fuck is going on that people are still willing to make deals with them? This is like JAST to an even more absurd degree. And unlike JAST you aren't even guaranteed good translations when something is finally finished.

>>14075612
I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. The premise is really out there. Then again I suppose there isn't much information, so it kinda figures.

>>14075616
Which is especially strange because somebody had to pay for those licenses. Well, though all the big-name pickups are existing fan translations and the rest of it is this obscure indie stuff that nobody would have noticed missing if they hadn't announced it. Perhaps that's the key.

>>14075623
Maybe they just promise a % of their Kickstarter bucks or something.

The only noticeable issue is "There must be more decent reason" and that would be fixed by the inclusion of the letter A. Other than that, it's pretty solid. What exactly is your problem with it?

>>14075817
In fact I just looked at the review itself and Doddler said he found the translation fine besides a few typos. I quote, "Overdrive’s games tend to be well written, and Mangagamer’s translation gives it the love it deserves in English." And really, if you can't trust Doddler, who can you trust?

>>14075825
Kira Kira translation wasn't done by a english native. There's lots of typos and awkward sentences.
Not to mention that Kouryuu himself said that MG won't put Kira Kira on Steam because of its translation and they won't do a re-translation because of lack of man power. He said this months ago though.

>>14075850
So what they need is less a translator and more someone who can give it adequate QC. MangaGamer is getting bigger and bigger as their games find more and more success on Steam, I'm sure they can find an employee to spare eventually, or hire new ones. I guess if there's a barrier it's that Overdrive is now dead and they're no longer a particularly important partner.

By the way, do the people who did all these old translations still work for MangaGamer?

>>14075609
Seriously, who is this guy? I wish it was Dovac so I could make fun of Dovac for being fat, but I've seen a picture of him and he was thinner.

>>14075859

The issue is more that it's more sensible profit-wise to use their localization resources on new titles than polishing old ones (Higurashi being a major exception). So even if they had a team to spare, they'd probably rather find a new license to put them on than tie them up for 6mos+ to fix a title with very little profit potential in it.

>>14075615

"anxious appearance" - awkward/wrong image.
"small dark narrow space" - confusing image
"but that can't be" - doesn't connect properly
"there must be more decent reason" - awkward
"looks immature" - wrong image
the world school repeated three times in a row - terrible style
"there are always some odd ones at every school" - awkward/confusing/wrong image
Tone is all over the place, or rather, you could say there is none (I doubt the original writer wrote to mimic grade-schooler's prose).
And I'm almost too afraid to mention concepts like sentence flow and prose rhythm.

A single screenshot is enough to make my eyes bleed, basically. I'd hesitate to even call that English at this point, much less a piece of readable writing.

>>14076161
> awkward
> I'd hesitate to even call that English at this point
Just because something feels """awkward""" to you, it doesn't mean its not English anymore.
There's nothing actually awkward or confusing in these lines, you are just making up some shit since you couldn't find real problems in it.

>>14076421
I don't read translations.

>>14076427
ok moogy

>>14076452
Moogy actually does read translations though, if they're by Makoto.

>>14076161

Looks immature – probably wrong word choice here, considering the word ‘mature’ when used referencing people tends to reference their personality. So ‘looking immature’ doesn’t tend to be used.

That being said, the big issue is with the last 3 lines. The repetition of the word ‘school,’ the repetition of the short sentences, the second sentence actually badly reinforces the point made in the first, because it’s done in a robotic manner. So yeah, there’s real issues with those lines.

I’m not sure if a whole sentence for ‘that’s where I go’ is appropriate either, the short sentence would emphasise the statement, but replacing the period with a comma and replacing the ‘that’s’ with ‘which is’ would make it more conversational. That being said, the power of the short sentence ‘that’s where I go’ is lost because of the number of short sentences coming after it.

The robotic tone of the narrative might be because this is a self-insert VN? I dunno, I can’t read Japanese so I wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s hella robotic in English though.

That being said, narrative is really hard to translate into smooth flowing English, and if you ever want to find problems with a VN translation, ANY VN translation, just grab yourself a piece of narrative and go nuts. Narrative really requires someone with writing knowledge to be involved in the project, dialogue is a bit easier. RPG translations probably have it a bit easier because they’re not translating any narrative.

And MG have really improved since these times anyway :)

Present-tense narration always sounds fucking stupid unless executed by a skilled writer anyway.

We should have game threads where we all do our best to translate a narrative passage from a VN, and afterwards everyone rips the fuck out of each other.

>>14077052
>The robotic tone of the narrative might be because this is a self-insert VN? I dunno, I can’t read Japanese so I wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s hella robotic in English though.
Setoguchi is considered one of the best writers in the industry (or was, before he moved on to novels). So no, it wasn't supposed to sound robotic. If something is as highly praised as Kira Kira is in Japanese yet few people care about it in English, it's usually a sign that something went wrong somewhere.

(Also the word you're looking for is "narration".)

>>14077052

Wholeheartedly agree. So much so my head has fallen off and rolled underneath the table due to excessive nodding. I don't even like it when Makoto does it. The Young Adult genre for novels is currently being inundated with a lot of present tense stuff, which is sad (for me. Well... it would be sad if I read a lot of YA stuff.) Definitely prefer past-tense.

>(Also the word you're looking for is "narration".)

Thnx :)

Logo artist here, it's actually meant to look like a Final Fantasy logo.

Subahibi is done? Really???

Looks like I'm back on the VN train after almost a year of not reading anything. I've had subahibi on my comp waiting for years.

>>14078348

I can't say I'd believe that considering every FF logo (except for 7 and 9) is an over-stylized picture of some character or boss.

And, well, unless they've got some really kinky action going on in that VN...

>>14077170
>If something is as highly praised as Kira Kira is in Japanese yet few people care about it in English, it's usually a sign that something went wrong somewhere.

I think people are just stupid, because even in the English translation, Fate/stay night is amazing.

Also, think about this. People have no problem constantly throwing money at Sekai Project despite their highly disappointing translations. So I suspect translation quality isn't what held Kira Kira back in this case, even if it admittedly could have been better. There's something about the content of the VN itself that draws in Japanese people but does not interest English speakers, despite its quality. The timing of the release probably also did not help, because it was back when MangaGamer was a much lesser known company and the perception of VNs was still that they were mainly porn-heavy games, so nobody really saw anything of theirs worth bothering with. So, timing, and content.

Look at how Chrono Clock, seen as garbage in Japanese, is probably going to be one of Sekai's best selling games because it's some flashy shiny serious business sequel to Chrono Cross time travel game. I'm really worried about Himawari, but Frontwing's version actually is really shiny and good-looking so maybe that will be enough to draw people into discovering a great story. People just need to know it's sci-fi.

>>14078369
>FF7
>not a picture of a boss

???

>>14078382

The Meteor's not really a boss itself, it's a spell (cast by the boss). FFI features the protagonist, FF2 was redrawn with the Emperor, 4 is Kain, 5 is a wyvern, 6 is Tina, 8 is Squall and Rinoa, 9 is a crystal, 10 is Yuna, we don't really know who 11 is, 12 is Gabranth, 13 is Fang, Vanille, and Ragnarok, 14's a bunch of people, and 15's whatever it is.

I'm guessing you aren't familiar with the FF logos?

>>14078442
I'm pretty well familiar with them, I just consider FF7 to count as a boss since it's part of the boss.

>>14078379
Well, I've seen people making fun of Fate Stay Night saying it was written by a middle schooler, so I'm sure it'd be respected a bit more if it was actually properly translated. At least I wouldn't show that translation to my Japanese-incapable friends telling them it represents the original.

The question is: was fsn so inherently good that even a butchered version retained some of its magic, or did it just attract more people because it was shinier?

Either way, there is very little meaning to actually put effort into translating something properly, or picking up actually good games when the western reader base has no standards and prefer stuff like Sakura Spirit. What difference is there in the end between a ruined/butchered visual novel, and one that was shit to begin with, except the latter being easier to acquire?

>>14078793
There's no meaning in terms of making money selling a product. That doesn't mean there's no meaning.

are we talking about final fantasy?
best FF is FF1.

>>14078793
Poorly translated games are pretty much ignored regardless of their fame in Japan. Normies don't buy things they don't understand and 'famous in the country it was made' doesn't work on US non-weeaboos. Only reason anime is such a hit is because there are still good fan subbing groups that make the effort to do so every year.

>>14078793
>Well, I've seen people making fun of Fate Stay Night saying it was written by a middle schooler, so I'm sure it'd be respected a bit more if it was actually properly translated

I saw those retards here just a couple weeks ago. It made me furious.

I think FSN got attention because it had the fortune of getting its patch when there wasn't much competition. It also had badass action in a time when there were not many translated VNs that could offer that. So people who were tired of all the sex games were very interested in this kind of thing.

>>14078834
>Only reason anime is such a hit is because there are still good fan subbing groups that make the effort to do so every year.

Um, Funimation and Crunchyroll do 99% of things these days. So-called "fansubbers" generally just edit their subs now.

>>14075113
It entered beta around the first week of August, so it's actually only been in beta for around a month. It's also a longer nukige, so beta testing it could take awhile. Not to mention CLOCKUP does their own programming so that could slow things down as well.

J-List Labor Day Sale Now, Oniichan!

>>14075817
It was mentioned on the MG forums that it doesn't do the original prose justice.

>>14079610
Show me line comparisons. Honestly I think people in the VN community overrate Japanese prose anyway, simply because they want to feel superior for having learned the language.

>>14075859
>By the way, do the people who did all these old translations still work for MangaGamer?

No, since their early translations were done by native Japanese speakers, and around the time Soul Link was released, they started having native English speakers doing the translations.

>>14079612
It was Kouryuu from MG that made the comment about the prose.

>>14079612
This English sucked. The Japanese would have to actually be bad to match what was in that screencap.

>>14079613
But couldn't the native Japanese speakers have moved to other positions? They are a Japanese company after all.

>>14079612
You should um, try opening a book and see how proper written English is supposed to look like.

Visuals novels might not be the epitome of Japanese literature, but they're still written by people who fancy themselves professional.

>>14079612
> superior for having learned the language.
Indeed we are.

>>14079866
I mastered the language years ago and don't look down on others for it. I've got plenty to look down on people for already, like their intelligence.

>>14079622
Oh yeah, Kouryuu, who's taking about six years to translate a single moege. He's totally the guy to trust.

>>14079917
Well, maybe he is taking that long because he's actually trying to translate it properly?

>>14079907
Implying languages aren't part of intelligence just shows how intelligent you are.

>>14079917
If speed makes you a trustworthy language master then Ixrec is the king of all translations.

>>14080027
And if speedy translators are shit then Aroduc is shit, just like his taste in anime.

>>14080138
His taste is questionable, but he was right about Akame ga Kill being shit.

>>14080152
I have never seen Aroduc be right about a single thing. Even after Akame ga Kill, his record remains unbroken.

>>14080138
My point was more that you can't generalize about translators being good or bad based on speed. All you can do is look at the product.

>>14079942
Just like how JAST takes so long with their games because of that reason and not because they're a poorly managed company that doesn't even realize they've been sitting on finished translations for nearly a full year.

>>14079942
Sumaga.jpg

I don't blame Sekai Project for choosing Sakura Swim Club over Sakura Fantasy (in fact, I don't care about either). What bothers me is how they played the 'buy our shitty games and we'll bring you shitty games, we can't get you the good games unfortunately' card once again, and this time we have proof it's not bullshit. They intentionally went for Sakura Swim Club instead of Sakura Fantasy, then lied to the community about being forced to take it up the ass while they really totally wanted to do nothing immediately. We don't have to buy their games, because Dies Irae is truly impossible for them!

You guys keep complaining about how Dovac lies to customers, and you're right.

Technically IX counts too, since that's the crystal Necron came out of at the end.

Speaking of Sakura Swim Club, it just got released on Steam.
To top it all off, apparently there's a version with sexual content on DS and they didn't even utter a word about this before. Sasuga

>>14080763
On DS?

>>14080806
Denpa Soft anon. The brand SP uses to release VNs with sexual content (though they barely used it until now).

>>14080763
Reaks of desperation I would not be surprised if they're almost bankrupt

>>14080829

Considering the number of units Winged Cloud has moved, and the lack of content generally in their games, I rather doubt they're close to bankrupt. However, the steady decline in the sale figures of Sakura games may have prompted them to try new gimmicks (clicker, porn) to help ramp up profit again.

>>14080415

Winged Cloud no longer need Sekai as a publisher, Winged Cloud no longer need the advertising, or the help with publishing. So I wasn't surprised that the later Sakura's no longer had Sekai's involvement.

Sakura Swim Club might be different though - it has an 18+ version which isn't allowed on Steam. They might wanted to make use of Sekai's DS store to bring some publicity to an 18+ version people might not have otherwise known about?

2 years of translation so far. The game got announced two years ago. If he doesn't speed up it will take him 4 years total. While that is ridiculous, its not 6 years at least.

>>14080884
>Winged Cloud no longer need Sekai as a publisher
Incorrect. Steam lists all Sakura games with SP as publisher. This leads me to believe that Winged Cloud still needs the brand recognition SP has.

On another note, you and your friend sanahtlig should try to actually understand better how the current market works before actively encouraging doing things that could seriously hurt companies.

Wow.

>>14081085
I keep telling you guys, just machine translate the H scenes
you'll end with churyuuu and sound effects like that, but its better than stalling

>>14081058
They posted the adult patch on their Patreon for non supporters, no need to buy from Denpa.

>>14081085
People want to translate a extremely long game wth loads of sex scenes and complain about those god damn scenes. How stupid can people be?

>>14081104
It's a machine translation, so I don't know why they bother.

This is their main 'translator.'

Notice a couple things. First, how the text is corrupt. And second, that he says he can't read Japanese.
> I can't read, actually. Text-hooker + a bunch of dictionary tools or just some kanji to romaji converter. But I've watched enough anime to understand what they're saying.

>>14081127
Well, if he's watched enough anime, then he must know Japanese.

Is the Sakura series the Call of Duty of visual novels. These things are getting mass produced quicker than I can keep up with.

>>14081058
Is it okay if I ship Rooke and sanahtlig with each other?

>>14081104
And all these delicious chestnuts.

The Muv Luv Kickstarter is asking for 250k to edit Ixrec and make the engine compatible with modern Windows. What a bargain.

>>14081104
Reading the word churyuuu turns me on so I would be totally okay with this.

>>14080763
Wow, I just randomly made that post on a whim too. Did I cause Sakura Swim Club to be released? Haha. I've never seen such a fast turnaround for one of these games, this is getting insane. I mean, I guess they must already have them prepared for release when they toss them on greenlight, but that was still so quick after its announcement. How do they pull this off and still have people buying their games?

That's interesting that a Depnasoft version was released too though. Looks like they might actually start using that more often now (perhaps MangaGamer inspired them with what happened with Yurirei?). I'll give this game a try when it appears on Nyaa or Erogedownload or something, and nevermind it's already there. Nice. Still waiting on the voiced Sakura Angels though. Anyway, hopefully this leads to Denpasoft becoming more of a thing.

Also this game suddenly received a complete patch out of nowhere:
http://imoutotrans.org/

I'm all for imouto sex. Bring it on. In before VNTS man misses it.

There's nothing I hate more than a man's penis.

>>14082745
yes, this is the one with the churyuuu sound effects, back when I played the partial
hopefully I can enjoy more sexy onomatopoeia

>>14083098
I'd like to make some churyuuu sound effects with you, if you know what I mean.

>>14082745
Bought to you by Google, Fujitsu and LEC

>>14083115
>Bought to you

>>14082745
This patch seems to have an odd history for such a short game. Started it way back in 2013, slowly did some stuff over the first half of 2014 and then "WOW! IT'S FUCKING NOTHING!" for over a full year, until the patch suddenly got released yesterday.

I guess some dead patches don't actually die, they're just really fucking slow. Perhaps someday, we'll see the rest of Akai Ito translated. Someday.

>>14082879
Yeah, I too much prefer a woman's penis.

>>14083345
I actually do prefer that, if I have to have a penis. Because at least it also comes with a woman. Literally? Venom Snake.

>waah these guys aren't qualified to translate my games for me for free!

Either learn Japanese or shut the fuck up, you entitled shits. These people owe you nothing, and do not answer to you.

>>14084080
Good point.

>>14084080
>Either learn Japanese or shut the fuck up, you entitled shits.
So, you're saying you rather have something pretty much machine translated than no translation at all.
Anyone who thinks like that has no respect for this medium and doesn't deserve to be called a fan of VNs.

>>14084114
I don't know how you got that out of his post, so I assume you're just trying to push an agenda. What he's saying is that beggars can't be choosers, so if you have time to bitch about the translation you have time to learn Japanese.

>>14084125
Yeah, pretty much. These threads seem like 80% whining about translators these days, it's pathetic. Fan translators suck, all of them do. If you want to escape shitty translations you learn the language. If you're too lazy to do that you can shut the fuck up, since it's your own fault that you're relying on random people translating shit in their free time for your hobby. Bitching and whining every single time is just fucking childish.

>>14084175
>These threads seem like 80% whining about translators these days
They've been like that for a long time.

>>14084125
>I don't know how you got that out of his post
He replied to posts that criticized the japanese knowledge of that "translator" by assuming these posts were made by guys who don't know japanese and are desperate enough to read whatever shit gets released. The critics are completely valid and even if the translation is being done for free, the translator not having a strong grasp of the japanese language shows the lack of respect him and those who will actually read his "translation" have for the medium. So yes, I don't see any reason to "shut the fuck up" and be called an "entitled shit".

I don't know japanese but if it comes to my attention a certain translation is very shitty, you most certainly will see me complaining and not even touching that translation. I don't want to see multiple random "translators" showing up out of nowhere pretty much machine translating VNs. By not complaining, you're showing your support to such project which as a result means that you're desperate enough to forget the kind of respect VNs deserve. Not complaining to such projects is a mistake and I can only see people saying that you shouldn't complain as being naive.

>Himawari (TL/ED finished)
>Tokyo Babel (TL: ~22%)

>>14084080
if you're a hobo and a soup kitchen says they'll give you lunch, but then you find out that they're using spoiled meat and sawdust bread I think you're still within rights to complain. you could have used the time spent waiting in line to look for a slow moving pidgeon, and it's possible that the scam food bank prevented a legitimate one from opening in the same area because they thought it was already covered.

Why are people calling someone who can't read the language a translator? Who isn't a translator then?

>>14084080
Bon appétit, shit-eating scum. Enjoy your coprophagia all you want, but everyone around is indeed entitled to complain about the stink.
