It's actually up about 2% since last week, no fucking clue where that came from.

>>3815348
He just did those so Moogy can get text style down. When the translation starts progress will be a lot faster.
>>3815355
The fact still is that Hollow Ataraxia isn't very good. It's only sensible that people wouldn't want to translate it.

>>3815370
There's an ever growing number of horrible games with Translations.

Can't they just translate the parts with Rider in it so I can get my fix and be on with my days?

>Baldr Force EXE- Will be translated by Fungi, who did 10 lines earlier today
I fell out of my chair laughing

>>3815383
>There's an ever growing number of horrible games with Translations.
On the positive side, good games are getting translated too.

>>3815396
Did you even read the thread? >>3815360

I'm sure Fungi did ten lines for hacker testing just to do more than the 9 the troll did on Sky.

>>3815356
I was going to say they're trolls but it's worse than that, their leader is genuinely stupid. If I tell you they refused ViruX help to hack another game and that they do things like renaming the scripts so it's easier for the translator (?), I guess you'll get how retarded they are.

>>3815370
It's actually true, but most likely people won't believe it till they make an official announcement or something.

>renaming scripts

haha what the fuck

>>3815356
I was the guy that used to be part of the project. I imagine rest the team members have all good intentions, but the "leader" is complete idiot. If you want to, I can link some of the logs.

>Baldr Sky - There is no translation project worth mentioning

Ha.

>>3815419
Please do.
It's a jolly good time I imagine.

Symphonic Rain is partially playable - I did torta's path with no problems. Game started crashing in the middle of Fels and couldnt easily be fixed by passing the problem text since there was a lot of it.

[21:08] <Vodka> Why would it not be safe?!
[21:08] <@Sevodax> its email...
[21:08] <Vodka> And what danger comes from others getting untranslated scripts?
[21:08] <Vodka> If anything, somebody else might decide to translate the game.
[21:09] <@Sevodax> -.-
[21:09] <Vodka> Less work for us! Hooray!
[21:09] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> oh em geee! competition! shokku! ()o()

[21:35] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> i get the feeling i'm going to fucking hate the H-scenes...especially editing them
[21:36] <@Sevodax> lol?
[21:36] <Vodka> We can still say in good consience something like "Sorry, Princess Lover turned out to be nothing like the anime, and it had lots of pissing. We're doing something better."
[21:36] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> "...and then she pissed all over me"
[21:36] <@Sevodax> No we are doing PL
[21:36] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> i'll prolly have to paste this phrase into all the routes
[21:36] <@Sevodax> lol
[21:37] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> urg...just curious... why in the nine fucking hells did you choose PL?
[21:37] <@Sevodax> many ppl saiod they wanted PL -.-

[21:37] <@Sevodax> yea went on irc channels and asked around
[21:37] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> i'm getting a bad feeling
[21:37] <Vodka> They want it because of anime!
[21:38] <Vodka> And that is totally different from game!
[21:38] <%Hyo|HalfwayTHAR> i haven't seen the anime >.>
[21:38] <@Sevodax> -.- so what...as long as they want it its ok!!
[22:07] <@Sevodax> OK listen up I am willing to put PL on HOLD if you can find the engine from kurenai no tsuki( second most wanted from the guys I asked)
[22:08] <%Vodka> The people who do know what it's like are going OMGNO.
[22:08] <@Sevodax> though I seriously doubt you can find the engine
[22:08] <~draringi> some at fakku liked it...
[22:08] <@Sevodax> ^most

Well when he gets ~10-20% or something then tell me.

I could care less about 10 lines. Besides, he will come here for attention anyways, eventually.

>>3815499
Babelfish.

>>3815499
Either he won't, or he might just look up words/use a translation tool, and try to make it into a sentence.

Guy updated it from 65% to 66% earlier today.

>>3815558
>Is Air making any progress? When did that project begin?

The current team took over when it was about 40%, months ago.

Is Chris in Symphonic Rain actually going to date Fal, Lise etc. or just going to play an ensemble with them?

Also final patch should come out ;_;

>>Baldr Force EXE- Will be translated by Fungi, who did 10 lines earlier today
Fuck yes ten lines!

>>3815558
Air is finished, it is called Kanon and Clannad.

>>3815616

Shit, i hope they actually intend on translating

>>3815643
>Shit, i hope they actually intend on translating

The leader of the Air project, Lunchbox6954, is just about as intelligent as the Baldr Sky guy and the Princess Lover guy.

Hope we will get SS this year so that in the end two games of value become avaible after a whole year of disney, cancer and fail.

>Sono Hanabira- Editing forever

;_;

>>3815663
Come on, this has been the best year for VN translations ever.

>>3815657
God damn it.

>>3815663

Too bad you'll hate SS when it is done.

>>3815624
Regarding Symphonic Rain... I know the current release is pretty fucked but is it meant to require you click/press enter twice every single time you want proceed to the next box of text? If so, any chance it'll be changed in the final version?
And is there any way to stop it pausing after each line while it's showing the text?

>>3815663
Haha, no, don't think that's likely. Personally, I'll just be thankful for a partial patch Christmas present if that happens.

>>3815766
I don't know, actually I was wondering about those things too. Can't really check out the original japanese exe, since for some unknown reason it makes my whole pc lag ;_;

Can't wait for Galaxy Angel.

Great

Why do visual novel translation projects tend to attract idiots?

>>3815766

Everything you mentioned are bugs. They should get fixed in due time.

>>3815468
If it's a troll, oh well, if not, excellent news!

Hatsukoi is past that point, I haven't put out the weekly update yet.

>>3816180
Animu faggotry is why. There are enough retards in the fansub community, and they're spilling over to here.

The Baldr Sky guy is more of a huge troll rather than an idiot.

>>3816376
The Baldr Sky guy is serious though, he's not trying to troll. That's what's scary about it.

>>3816385
I'm still not sure I believe him. I have a feeling he might pull a Gamepatch on us.

>>3816406
The guy translating Baldr Sky doesn't know Japanese. He's not a troll either, though. He's just really stupid.

>>3816250
What's it at now?

>>3815433
I see that there are two releases of Syphonic Rain, the second is in dvd, amirite? Anyway, does the "playable" patch work for both?

>>3815624
What? Chris has Ari as his girlfriend right?

>>3816472
She only talks to him through letters for 3 years

Why do that when her sister is quite fine and is right there

So what can be expected to be done by the end of the year?

>>3816623
Probably Sekien no Inganock, Symphonic Rain's non-buggy patch and maybe Ef. Swan Song would be nice, but I doubt it.

>>3816623
Ef, Higurashi, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo, Sekien no Inganock, Symphonic Rain

>>3816643
>>3816632
Well, that and Soul Link.

>>3816661
I left out Soul Link and Higurashi because they're commercial releases. I assumed the person I was initially replying to was asking about fan translations.

>Sekien no Inganock-Fully Translated
^woah what's this? Is it good?

>>3816632
>>3816643
Don't forget Galaxy Angel, the guy should be done translating within 2 weeks.

>>3816681
Yes it is, just ignore the trolls.

>>3816681
It is surely worth your time, but better stuff has been translated.

>>3816488

>>Why do that when her sister is quite fine and is right there and looks like her, too. <-fixed

Anyone knows when SR's non bugged and Inganock's full translation gets released?

>>3815990
Under the Moon is shit though.

>>3816796
But I wish to be the little slut.

>>3816796
Isnt Under the Moon an otome game?

>>3816789
No.

>>3816803
Yes.

>>3816789
> Anyone knows when SR's non bugged and Inganock's full translation gets released?

Inganock will depend on how fast Ixrec re edits stuff. Seeing that he is currently playing through Alternative, that may take some time.

Symphonic Rain should be done within the week.

>>3817263
> So who want to bet on wether MangaGamers removed all instance of nudity of Nanami or not?

I am thinking it won't be censored, and hoping that it won't be.

If they don't censored this, it will likely mean good things in the spring for Koihime.

>>3817296
Don't you remember how they didn't put any of the loli (Koihime) goodies in their conventions?

>>3817319
Also they did state they were against censorship, but that they were FOR CENSORING THE EXTREMES. So far none of their characters were extreme, but Nanami or Chouhi are lolis, there is no doubt that they haven't hit puberty yet.

http://bct.wolfram-shadow.com/

Broken Chains Translation is just about the worst name I've heard of from a Japanese TL group and the website was obviously put together by an idiot.

"First of all, the extract/repack tools are done and tested, and as you can see the website is almost done(well I don`t want to leave it like this but I will remake it after we finish some projects)! ^_^"

Talking about the AX conference?

>22:54:10 <zalas|MangaGamer> Q: Asking about EOCS limitations
>22:55:14 <zalas|MangaGamer> A: I think there should be some sort of regulations, but I think it's about making restrictions about avoiding extremes. Right now there's talk in law about child pronography law applying to images and might apply to anime as well. I think that's going too far

I would not take this to mean either way about censorship of future games. This was in a public setting at the AX conference, and it seemed like he was just sidestepping the issue, rather than saying "there should be no regulations."

I would not be surprised if Soul Link or Koihime are censored, but I don't think that their AX comment is representative of how they are planning to go. If just looking at remarks, EvoSpace's "MangaGamer's final decision was that they use the uncensored image if the CGs are available, and use the mozaic censored images just like the Japanese version if it's unavaialable." comment on the forums could just as easily be used as an arguement saying they would not censor.

>>3817570
I think his statement is actually very dodgy. He KNOWS that we're talking about censoring characters yet he replies with something else. Don't you find this quite dubious?

>>3817425
The Broken Chains guy is an absolute idiot, even worse than the Baldr Sky troll.

>>3817319
Well they weren't planning on releasing the game for almost a year so it's not surprising that they didn't have any merchandise for it. I doubt it has anything to do with censorship and you're being way too paranoid.

>Princess Lover- 1.5%, but don't expect anything from this group

Seika is shit and so is Princess Lover.

>>3817923
>Well they weren't planning on releasing the game for almost a year so it's not surprising that they didn't have any merchandise for it. I doubt it has anything to do with censorship and you're being way too paranoid.

There is also a huge difference between selling physical loli merchandise at a convention and selling a download only game.

>>3817938
Just don't expect the game to be anything like the anime.

>>3815355

>Jesus fucknut, that game has been out for how long now?

The "current translator" (Korean->English) has been dead silent and not responding to any messages (email/PM/blog) for over a month.

No one else wanted to pick it up without knowing exactly where the current progress is, so essentially not much got done until now.

The ~7% over the last month is completely unrelated, a mix of Japanese->English translations from random contributors, roughly merged together (there's still a lot left to integrate, probably another 2-3% or so).
