killerinsidee 14 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 ^ True, like it happened to DCIII. When it comes to VNs from MG's or JAST's partners, the best thing is to just keep quiet about the whole thing and put out a patch when it's ready. Hell, if you put out a quality TL patch they could even buy the script from you, assuming that they're not working on it themselves. A good example is Aroduc. While he didn't TL VNs related to MG or JAST, his "not announcing the project" trick worked pretty well against C&Ds. Doubt he did it just to mess with people. Link to post Share on other sites
Shadolance 10 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 What happened to the fortune arterial project?. Seemed close to being done in the last update but that was november. Did he just go mia?. It died a bloody painful death. Don't expect it to be picked up again anytime soon. On another note, I wonder if anyone will ever pick up Kamikaze Explorer. That game seems to be teetering between TL groups, but no one actually picks it up. Ever since Wairu dropped it 2 years prior to dropping Majikoi and dying, I've seen at least 4 TL groups consider picking it up INLCUDING Loe Quality. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Henta20 37 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well i hope somebody picking up Kamikaze Explorer too, that game so very awasome out, i hope Kohaku Translations can pick up Kamikaze Explorer when they are finish translating Tokeijikake no Ley Line -Tasogaredoki no Kyoukaisen- Link to post Share on other sites

If they do end up doing Kamikaze, it's not going to be for a long time and we might as well forget about it. No, we need to find another group. Link to post Share on other sites

My data on my phone is too limited right now to display it. If you put whatever it is as text I can give it a shot, but I only have 2 days of service left so please be hasty with it if it's important... I get back to my desktop in 4 days though.

Didn't NNL do that tactic as well with EF? Honestly I still thinks it's bonkers that a C&D can be issued for just TRANSLATING a story - I get the whole piracy aspect, that just obvious - but if someone bought a legit copy of the VN overseas, it jsut doesnt make sense they cannot use a fan patch to TL it, lol. Even if a localization group like MG has a vested interest - woulden't be "whoever finishes it first, wins"? Ah well, maybe I'm just still bitter about DC3, esp. at the retardly slow TL rate of MG compared to the original TL pace. What is funny with that Gerard? I can't speak for Gerard directly - but it's unlikely Kohaku Translations will be free for the next couple years, lol. They plan on all three Ley line titles (knocks on wood for good luck), as the 3 vn's make up a trilogy. Edited June 30, 2014 by Some guy Link to post Share on other sites
Henta20 37 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I didn't know Tokeijikake no Ley Line -Tasogaredoki no Kyoukaisen- had trilogy, so I didn't think much about it but since it have trilogy so do I understand at Kohaku Translations would be very busy, I'm really looking forward to play Tokeijikake no Ley Line -Tasogaredoki no Kyoukaisen- very much Link to post Share on other sites

Natteke 10 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 about kamikaze, some guy in wairu was translating but he found out it had alot of h-scenes and they don'0t like tling that shit so it's dropped perhaps there's a patch lying around im not sure and about majikoi S/A Wairu said "Im the english translator everyone needs, but not the one that they deserve" lel'd Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 10 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 from the look i thought she was more like a character with a overabundance of energy that never shut up and stop moving for a sec. She actually is, but that doesn't strike me as an especially annoying trait. Still like usual the childhood friend will probably end up being the most annoying character for me. Don't say that. Being a childhood friend doesn't mean one is an annoying character. For example take... uhh... err... right, Asuho from Hoshimemo was a nice childhood friend. Took me a lot of time to come up with one who's a stereotype and still a nice childhood friend, so I have to say I'm quite proud of myself. though after 20 min into MML Yuuna was already... let's say difficult for me to handle... doesn't mean her route is bad though. Damn, I don't like airhead characters either =( Why not, they're easy to manipulate ...err, influence for the protagonist ^^ But you posted a link of Mashiro and so I shall forgive you. She's one of those few characters whose name just has to come up somewhere in your argument and boooom: the whole eroge community will acknowledge your opinion as the right one.

Helvetica Standard 17 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ah well, maybe I'm just still bitter about DC3, esp. at the retardly slow TL rate of MG compared to the original TL pace. Ignorance is a sin. You do know that DC3 TL was a machine translation effort?

Henta20 37 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yes i agree with Standard on that one, i dont like machine translation at all, its so damn annyoing, it Should not exit at all, it much better to wait for proper translation and igjoner machine translation Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about you but I prefer to wait for a proper translation than make my eyes bleed with MTL crap. *cough*Flyable Heart*cough* I admit I took "Translation Progress: 34%" for granted; I did not bother d/ling a partial back then, because I can't stand partials. HOWEVER, I might not have tried the patch myself - but I am aware the commen route was fully TL'd; the reason for the machine TL you reffered to is explained in a old post during the TL project: Source: http://visualnovelaer.fuwanovel.org/2013/03/da-capo-iii-common-route-fully-translated-now-playable/ By Aaeru March 19th 2013: Hey I told Jichi that the default settings should be set to community subs (i.e. u see my subs as soon as u hook the game). but i think it may not have worked for some ppl. if it’s coming out as really bad strangled broken english, that’s the machine translator cause jichi wants his thing to be machine TL engine as defaults FIRST…….. THEN community subs. i told him to make it community subs first. Because some people were asking me if they can play the common route (which is fully translated now but they are raw translations) Thus impliying it required the proper hooking with Visual Novel Reader. Perhaps you were one of those few that had the patch and/or text hooker setup incorrectly? If it really had been just another Flyable Heart scenerio, there would have been alot more noise on the net about it being a fake patch, but on Aaeru's site there nothing but people grateful at the time for the patch - and malice for Aaeru on vndb (which I ignore, spite and venom is pointless and silly).
