Isn't it it always the case that adapted movies try and both cater to the original and be new as to attract everyone, leaving them with scaring everyone away.

I'm reading through Tokyo Alice now, only about five minutes in. There have already been a few spelling and punctuation errors, but it's nothing too serious. Plot doesn't seem like anything worth mentioning either (the protagonist's childhood friend is called Arisu, is a ditz, and skipped school to play in Wonderland), but I heard it's supposed to be fairly sad, and since it's short I'll read it to the end.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6374826
>Why does it matter if it's animated or written?
It doesn't really matter.
The quality loss is present when one work is converted into a different media, one that works differantly and with other strengths/weaknesses.

If an anime had a VN adaptation the VN would most likely be shit, or at best, shit in comparison.
It doesn't matter what is, the quality loss is present when try to make A into B when it isn't B.

And yes, translated works have also been subjected towards quality loss, or translation loss as it is called.
Though I guess I don't have to explain why translations still contribute to less quality loss than a complete overhaul of the media.

It is easier to re-paint a cube, than it is to carve a perfect sphere out of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6375103
You're retarded.
As long as you take care to change it enough to fit the new media, there's absolutely no unavoidable loss of quality. There are multiple adaptations superior to the source material - there are even some VN -> Anime examples(Shuffle anyone?).

>>6374879
>How many actually good/comprehensible series adapted from visual novels have you seen which didn't shit over the source material?

Admittedly, if you're looking for a truly 'faithful' adaptation, there probably aren't any. Despite this, I think you can still have a GOOD adaptation. Just look at Kanon 2006.

>As long as you take care to change it enough to fit the new media, there's absolutely no unavoidable loss of quality.
The same could be said for ordinary translations of one language to another.
But quality loss in form of translation loss is still a given thing.

But there is also a dilemma here, where depending on how true or faithful to the original you are, you may miss out on good/necessary things to alter to better suit this other media.
Many of the more sucessful adaptations are adaptations that have only taken the general gist of the original, and then made everything else according to what is suitable to their chosen medium, accepting that things are different and that the end product will be different. And sure, nothing wrong with that. Personally that method may actually be what I prefer, but it still sort of makes it into less of an adaptation in a way.
But the opposite isn't perfect either, because even if you stay amazingly true to the original, following the execution almost identically, then fans may feel familiar with the adaptation and it may be nice in one way, but it will also be increadibly dull as you have all of a sudden drawn off the strengths of another media, the media you haven't been using, and it shows.

But this is just one problem, there are others as well.
In either case, translations of languages and the adapting of one media to another, both results in a certain quality loss.

Also

Maybe it was an expectations problem or something.
You judge a game differently when you play it without knowing anything about it and when you play it after being told multiple times it's the best shit ever.
I played Extra when Alternative wasn't even out so it felt fine to me even with its glaring faults, but I can see how people who see "MUVLUV IS THE REAL DEAL" all the time might have read it expecting a bit more and were disappointed.

What are the chances that Ixrec will pick up SubaHibi?

Do you guys think that he'll like it enough to translate?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6395696
50/50
Hopefully not.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6395696
Considering that Ixrecs likes DEEP stuff and Subahibi is pretty much that. I see him easily liking it enough. So it's likely that if no one else does it he will do it someday.
It isn't soon tough, as he's doing Alternative, Sharnoth and Forest atleast. After that he has said he'd rather do something that there really isn't that much of representation, so if he doesn't like it at 10/10 then it probbably will not happen at that point, but later.

[Anonymous No.]

I think that even if Ixrec were to translate it, Moogy would convince him not to.

Cross+Channel is one of his most favorite VNs ever, so I think Subahibi has a pretty good chance.

>>6395712

So why does Moogy have such a hold over Ixrec again? Does he have his family hostage or whatever?

[Anonymous No.]

Hmm... random questions about Parfait -second brew-
- is there any translation project going on
- is protag voiced?
- how long is it (estimated time to play)
- how difficult is the language (romeo tanaka level wordplay, people talking in street slang, boatloads of ancient kanji?)
- what engine in runs on
- how shitty translation can you read and not cry

Yes. Spoonfeed me, and I most likely will not translate it after all. But maybe...

[Anonymous No.]

>>6395723
That's because his comprehensive title selection list are based on vn_experts opinion, and what they recommend are objectively 7+ stuff at least. He stops playing at random or on personal findings after the first poll where Cross Channel wins and tlwiki fags start coming in.

>>6395696
Gotta wait for him to play Subahibi first. But so far he's on short games marathon, preparing for Sona-Nyl, so probably gotta wait for next year until he plays other high profile titles like Subahibi and Steins;Gate.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6395843
Moogy and Ixrec had a 'thing' a few months back, and Moogy's threatening to release their sex photos if Ixrec makes a move on SubaHibi.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6395723
He's trying to avoid criticism and the usual "lol how rated ___ lower than I like it, what a fag" or "lol he rated ___ higher than I like it, what a fag" by using that weird polarization system, so I don't see him giving less than 6-7 unless the game really is shit.
I personally think trying to make "universally objective" reviews in that way is retarded, but whatever.

-Nope, but there are working tools for it by the hacker who worked on it before giga C&D'd.
-Not in the PC version at least (no idea about the ps2)
-See http://erogamescape.ddo.jp/~ap2/ero/toukei_kaiseki/o_game.php?game=4673#total_play_time
- Dunno, I'd guess it shouldn't be too hard, probably none of the stuff you mentioned.
- Giga's engine, see above for tools
- People will bitch about pretty much any kind of translation quality but you shouldn't do a disservice to the game by something halfassed and shittty tl.

I think I'll pass on this one after all. Mainly due to the fact, that people would be too interested, and my TL-fu is not invincible. I should be able to make a playable translation on level of general (non-troll) anime subs, but it would not be perfect.

Guess I'll look for something shorter and less known, and devliver a complete trans someday. Or not.
Any suggestions?

I am looking for something short, to solo translate while staying out of sight. Just like those small projects that pop up when completed. I am not a team player, tbh,

[Anonymous No.]

>>6396456
Then you can do it this way:
http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=VN/Eroge_Scriptsizes
Find something short, play it yourself, decide you like it enough to translate it, consider whether it's not too difficult to translate, do it, and then release it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6396501
Air is already half translated, and is medium length so you'd probably just need to translate a short length VN and edit.

[Anonymous No.]

That's good. If you pop up with WIP translation, tlwiki mobos will start pummeling and criticize any weakness and dampen your spirit. They don't give constructive criticism to non-members. You won't get help at technical issue though.

From my personal recommendation; Itaike na Kanojo http://vndb.org/v1417 Magical Language Lyrical☆Lisp http://amaterasu.is.moelicious.be/forums/index.php?topic=25.msg407#msg407 or Reika Bitch Training http://vndb.org/v2753 Rewrite Trial or any Talestune games http://vndb.org/p711

They would have a field day with me then.
In the end, I'll most likely translate as best as I can, and drop the scripts on some wiki in hope of editors.

> Itaike na Kanojo http://vndb.org/v1417
I'll take a look at that. Saw something about that on tlwiki, but it seems it is dead and gone.

I will that one to true pro translators, to give it the glory it deserves. My humble abilities are not good enough to deliver the quality this masterpiece needs.
