Thanks

Thanks for the update! And btw what's the pic from ?

I'm also happy these guys are amazing, from their blog posts to their translations. Glad to see they keep going!

Yep I'm also looking forward to try Kotonoha Amrilato, as always thanks for the update.

I think the best way to know would be to consult their privacy web page : OCR Secure access with ABBYY Cloud SDK

But I'm not really sure what you don't want to get traced, the images that you're extracting the text from?

In this case I think all the OCR will use your data at some point to train their program but I'm not sure if they're really interested in storing who is reading what with their OCR

Damn NekoNyan announcing some great stuff, looking forward to it!

Yeah well companies need money sure, but don't they have a quality standard or something? I guess in the end they just don't really care about the market outside japan.

And yeah it'd be good if people would stop buying this crap, it's really sad to see so many people not even care about reading machine translated shit and paying for it.

Let's just hope it remains a small part of the translated VN market and not the standard.

It's really sad to see Fortissimo is getting a machine TL, how can the Japanese companies even agree to this?!

I'd love to see this too.

I'm not much of a fan of Sekai and their kickstarters too much either but we're finally seeing a lot of VN officially translated in English and I'm definitely very happy about that.

I don't participate in kickstarters anyway I'm just hoping we'll get good translations which matters much more to me.

Another thing bugging me is the prices Sekai put on their games, how the fuck are they selling visual novels at 50 bucks on steam??

Supipara Chapter 2 is almost at the 200k mark so it's possible it will reach the goal by a month or two xD ... And with that done, we will safely be able to conclude that this way to fund VNs is obviously a mistake - minori might see an error in their ways, pack up their bags and go to Scam Project ... Why you ask? Simple, they have the most experience running kickstarters for visual novels and minori will see that as a new way to make some money. MG will obviously get NTRed again ... Which I hate by the way cause I like MG the most out of all VN localizers ...

I agree with that, but didn't they set the bar way too high right at the start?

I mean, I think it's nice that they're funding it based on the sales of the previous VN / chapters but 200k is already a pretty big amount, not to mention it was simply in order to translate the first two chapters. Too bad.

Navel are good lastest navel https://vndb.org/r49996 modern gameplay!

Traps, meh.

these 2 looks great :v

Would love them too !

Not to mention Natsuyume Nagisa was being translated at some point, too bad they didn't make it.

Agree, would love to see it too.

and here i was, thinking about the same thing and yet they stole my idea, preposterous. On a more serious note, while i do think that this is a good thing for the VN genre, because this could help "advertise" this feeble industry and also because Sharin no Kuni is a really good one, i still agree with "leonzell" about translating some new ones instead of copy paste and maybe re-check the grammar, which shouldn't be that hard if you're a native english speaker.

Totally agree with you, I just find the idea of kickstarting a game already translated simply to put it on steam completely aberrant, if it was for a new translation that would be another story.

Well if you want to make money easily...

Not to mention they're going to kickstart it on top of this, they sure like milking the players. :\

My bad, forgot to add source (ノ｀´)ノ ~┻━┻

Oh I see, the video was on private, explains why I missed it !

Thanks and let's hope that it gets finished.

Is there ever? Does having some Wordpad blog with monthly updates somehow count as proof?

 

That video seems like decent evidence to me. If he/they stick with it is of course a whole different matter~

I understand what you mean but at least you can put a name behind the translation, I just couldn't find anything and was wondering if it really existed.

I missed this video that's probably why.

it's basically a thing some guy on reddit's weekly version of this thread has been doing for a few months now.

So there's no proof ?

Is Angel Beats really getting translated ? can't find anything on google

I don't know, the problem with me is that i always want to get the whole experience, if there is an 18+ version, than i wanna play that even though i usually skip right through it, but still, i wanna now that it is me who decides whether or not not read that shit. I don't say that what they did is necessarily bad, but totally reminds me of EA and his storm of DLC's. In my opinion, if you consider the art the script the BGM and a lot of smaller things that makes a VN asking for the same price just for the voices, seems illogical, maybe a 25% plus. Just to feel that even though you paid more you still made a good purchase, and you also had the opportunity to choose between to two. But if they had in mind this "strategy" they should have asked 30 for the voiceless and 40 with the voices and not 20 and 40. This is totally my opinion of course.

Completely agree with you one this, I'm the same.

It seems pretty clear to me? Both versions are clearly listed on the store page, telling you exactly what they are. They did this because it's a $40 game, but price matters a LOT on steam, more than quality. If you want your VN to be noticed, it has to be cheap. So they figured the best solution would be to have a low-priced alternative.

Yes and no, without the voices the game is probably incredibly dull and boring so yeah, maybe they'll get the game cheaper but it'll also be a disappointment to them.

While what you says about the price on Steam is true I still believe that this is not a very honest solution, when I saw G-Senjou no Maou on steam I almost bought it right away without looking too much because I really love the game and now I still feel a little bit tricked. (Not saying I won't buy it, but still ...)

How can you not care about the voices? Burn them alive.

Agree, plus it kinda seems like they don't want to show us the full price, I was planning to buy this and have I not seen this I would've bought it without the voices.

Having to spend 20$ again would certainly have pissed me off and now I'm kinda like "meh ...".
