Ugh, that Flowers demo was so disappointing.
Somebody tell Peter to DELAY Flowers, please.
>>14845896
Also, they want you to QC Flowers.
https://twitter.com/Swaps4/status/703664432153567233
Maybe they'll delay Seinarukana since they're busy with the Flowers mess.
>>14845896
They'll end up fixing the typos and grammar because it's noticeable to readers, but because Steam users won't care about translation accuracy, Jast has little incentive to care about it either.
So reddit still believes in Dovac. They really think he didn't paid for fake reviews.
>>14846195
There's no reason to assume he did.
All evidence indicates it was done directly by jap devs.
>>14845896
PEEEDUUUUUUUUUURRRRRR
>>14845896
Hopefully they just scrap the existing translation and get someone who knows what they're doing on the project but that's probably too much to ask for.
>>14846195
>>14846201

Is there any specific reason by Albatross Koukairoku achieved meme status among English readers?
Catchy OP? Cause it sure is. Or just spamming?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCYqPZtf7z0
>>14846467
It's probably just because Moogy mentioned it and said it was untranslatable or something
>>14846471
Everything is translateable, the question is you can keep its unique characteristics in the other language.
>>14846467
>>14846467
I dunno, but for a while it was a meme in the VN general threads to recommend it to people asking for easy-to-read beginner VNs.
>>14846481
Until I read it till the end you had me worrying it's a common type of sentence in Albatross.
>>14846298
Considering Maria worked on Sonicomi, why didn't they just get her to do it? Sure she wanted to do it at MangaGamer, but no reason not to let her.
>>14846502
Was she actively translating something at the time? It seems like Jast goal with this was to get it out as quickly as they could.
Fuck, Haruka is out tomorrow and I'm currently reading 3 eroge.
Someone go hack MG.
>>14846531
At least for JAST, she was finished with SoniComi already, wasn't she?
>>14846531
She was translating Flowers when it was announced.
>>14846533
Read for the next 24 hours. I'm sure you could knock out one of them.
>>14846570
I fap to every H-scene, so my dick would fall off.
>>14846576
Sacrifices have to be made. I'm sorry but you'll just have to sew it back on afterwards.
>>14846576
Not like you were using it for anything productive anyway.
Is Haruka kusoge?
>>14846595
How the hell is masturbation not productive? Why would I read Haruka if I couldn't fap to it anyways?
>>14846596
No, it's the kamige of nukige.
32 days left.
Survey results when?
>>14846689
Soon, probably this week sometime.
It would be great if translation companies would release something that would be even remotely worth buying. Hell, after playing BBH for a while a few years back, I can't even justify pirating it. And there doesn't seem to be much worthwhile in the pipeline either.
>>14846719
If you think Himawari is not "even remotely worth buying", you should kill yourself because you are defective.
>>14846726
Like you know what's worth buying about it.
>>14846607
this is some like next level shitposting
>>14846719
What would you like to see translated?
>>14846731
I'm doing OP's job. Dracu-Riot will be out in 32 days.
>>14846726
It's very rude to suggest suicide to someone on the internet. Don't you know how their family members, friends, and coworkers would feel when their loved one suddenly departs from them?
Well, you probably don't, because you're living a sheltered life in your parent's basement, lecturing others on the quality of porn games. Ridiculous.
>>14846741
Not you, I mean blogging about fucking ironing
>>14846694
Is the Haruka release on track for tomorrow? Any chance it will need extra time?
>>14846576
Even to extreme fetishes like monster birth and all those gruesome other things?
>>14846790
I should have been more specific. I fap to every H-scene in eroge. Such things hardly ever appear in regular eroge.
With nukige, it's somewhat more complicated. With sex scenes being more fast paced and numerous, and the character interaction/bonds reduced, I don't feel "obligated" to fap to everything. So I mainly edge and then use a scene which I find above average, so to speak.
But yes, that includes scat, guro and monster birth. I don't have a problem with that stuff.
What does Monster Birth even mean? Is it like in Alien movies or something?
>>14846839
Seems rather self-explanatory. The heroine gets impregnated by a monster and births a baby version of it.
>>14846576
>>14846817
Well, it's Haruka, so your dick would probably fall off anyway.
>>14846839
Wow even Bestiality in there! Even Jast was pussies not to censor those in Starless.
>>14846843
But how can human give birth to non-human, anon?
>>14846867
It's hentai, they don't have to explain shit.
>>14846839
Stomach deformation, breast expansion, electrocution, womb penetration all sound very painful. I cry if my waifus hurt
>>14846867
Xenomorphs-style.
>>14846762
Last I heard it was. Hopefully there aren't any last minute issues.
Mangagamer's tentative new date for Haruka rapidly approaches. I guess we'll soon see how much of an effect Haruka's delay had, assuming it holds.

I don't think dovac had any hand in getting them to do it, but I do think he found out about it earlier than he lets on and was just hoping no one would notice.
I suddenly realised how extreme fetishes are in Haruka and my penis may not be ready
>>14846977
Don't lose in battles and you'll only go vanilla. Unless you force them into depraved sex scenes out of battle, I guess.

Moogy
>For the past week and a half or so, I’ve been slowly venturing through the behemoth that is Kanishino. Kanishino is one of the most popular eroge from the “golden age” of the mid-00s, maintaining an 85 median with over 2500 votes on EGS. It is perhaps most notable for being two almost completely different games, by different writers, jammed together into one product. Depending on which dormitory you choose to stay in at the beginning of the game, you will be either sent into the side of the game written by Marutani Hideto (possibly best known for France Shoujo) or the side written by Takehaya (known for Konata Yori Kanata Made, this game, and Soshite Ashita no Sekai yori). You will find almost nothing but rave reviews for Takehaya’s half (well, his part is 1.5mb and Marutani’s part is 2.2mb, but let’s call it a half) of the game, and having been impressed by Konakana recently, I chose to proceed with it first.
>I was not disappointed. Many people on EGS describe Takehaya’s contribution to Kanishino as essentially perfect, and I’ll do my best to explain why.
>Really though, it’s basically Grisaia no Kajitsu if it were actually good.
Thoughts?
>>14847076
And now with no possibility of fraudulantly bought games for Steam keys like Sakura Santa, Beach Bounce, and Highschool Possession, the top 5 might actually stop being so shit.
>>14846967
Especially with how quickly it went from found to everything canceled. You'd normally confirm that it wasn't some random troll. Dovac immediately canceled EVERYTHING the moment he saw it.
>>14847157
Grisaia no Kajitsu was good.
>>14847217
Strong claim. Evidence?
>>14847218
I like it.
>>14847224
Expected reply. That's not evidence for it being good, just you liking it.
>>14847226
Moogy used to like it before it got popular, therefore it's good.
>>14847148
I don't know yet. I'm going to try to include that information in a blog post once everything's back up though.
>>14845913
Who is this faggot ?
>>14847157
>Thoughts?
Moogy don't know japanese.
>>14847523
He's in charge of editing Flowers to make it "acceptable English", which means a retranslation of the game is likely not going to happen.
>>14847547
Are you sure you're not mistaking yourself for moogy-denka?
>Koiken Otome
Machine translation?
>>14848092
Read the prologue patch to find out.
>>14846891
Don't worry, half the time they use ninja magic/drugs/whatever to make it feel good.
>>14848152
Is there a 100% guide?
>>14848215
It's pretty straightforward aside from some ending conditions. I'm sure someone will make a guide on the Alicesoft wiki at some point. There's stuff there now but it's messy and half in Japanese.
>>14846923
Order Number - 165092

I'm slowly redeeming a bundle to give you some spread out order numbers. This is VN 3/5.
I'm glad sekai's Kickstarter abuse finally shows fruit. With the cancellation of was and slow as balls wee translation it's guaranteed that any future kickstarters will never fund.

>>14848962
Not like it matters, it's flex-funding, they get the money either way
>>14848837
Will they give a shit if the person mistranslating is a Japanese? Everybody knows if it was a gaijin doing it, then it becomes a bigger problem.
>>14848962
50% in 50% of the time? Sounds like it would succeed.
>>14848962
>flexible funding
>>14848897
Man it's already asinine to post reddit shit here. Now you want people to play personal army for you too? Some people have no shame, I swear.
An anon from /vn/ said he might port the existing YT translation of Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas and create an English patch. Has anyone watched the fully translated playthrough? What's wrong with it? The anon said it was very literal and implied it might be shoddy.
Almost whole day passed and Steam didn't give any fucks about dovac's pleas to remove WAS from Steam.
And since dovac rushed to remove SP from being its publisher before receiving any info from Valve, he can now do nothing about it or get any money from further sales.
>>14849942
You're joking, right? He said he wasn't even going to report it until Monday. He might as well hung out a sign saying "Buy it now and never have it ever!"
>>14849954
>sign saying "Buy it now and never have it ever!"
But whats the point if he gets no money from it?
>>14849981
Because he changed the signboard, you think the checks are no longer going to him?
>>14848962
If they still manage to push the game out at 50 - 60% of their initial goal, everyone will know they're greedy cunts. Well, we already know that.
I still do not understand. Why can the Sakura franchise and SP get away with terrible translations, but not JAST?
>>14850129
I mean, sakura franchise get away with terrible English.
>>14850129
Because Sakura games are not translations.
>>14850136
I corrected myself >>14850134
>>14850129
Because I don't give a shit about any of their games, yet.
I have a question but why hasn't Mahou Tsukai no Yoru been fully translated by now? Why does it have 3 projects? And ins't it really short?
No really that 3 project thing seems fucking crazy, is this the start of another curse like AIR.
>>14851184
Start? You must be new.
>>14851197
No I've seen this project fail hard with Commie, but who the fuck are the other two and is work even been getting done or have all 3 failed.
This is weird because I remember reading it was fairly short and well... Its fucking type moon, you would think it would be done by now.
>>14851210
>I just got here today and have no idea what's going on
>>14851210
all of the competent eroge translators in the west have been hired, so they're busy doing official work, and type moon isn't interested in making official translations, especially not of mahoyo
>>14851212
I've been here since 2010.
I just stopped looking at these threads.
>>14851231
Of course you have.
>>14851228
Yeah that is true I guess, What ever happened to the team that did fsn in the first place? And whats wrong with mahoyo? Was it even self contained or will there be more of it?
>>14851244
>What ever happened to the team that did fsn in the first place?
Christ, you really are fucking new.
>>14851249
It was mirror moon If I remember correctly.
Did they just quit?
>>14851272
Mirror Moon stopped being a functioning group in 2008, newfag.
>>14851228
All of them getting hired really fucked everything up.
>>14851288
Ixrec hasn't been hired by anybody. He's not even part of the team retranslating his shit.
>>14851301
I was thinking He could do it..
Is he even working on anything now.
>>14851272
mirror moon died when takajun left to make his own group. Then he died. That shit is ancient history nowadays.
>>14851301
How was Comyu by him? Is that vn worth a read? I skipped it.
>all this spoonfeeding
It's just milf autist using some punctuation for a change, stop replying to him
>>14851330
I was actually around when it was still being translated, I think only ubw was done. Man that was a while back. Just because I stopped coming here every week because vns are dead doesn't mean I'm new.
>>14851301
He's a shit translator so it's no surprise.
>>14851344
>I haven't been here since before this board existed, but I'm definitely not new
>>14851210
There was only 1 project for years and others steered clear of it on the foolish assumption that commie might actually finish it
>>14851363
I didn't say I was here and this board only was around in 2009, I can't actually remember when I read it but it was like 6-10 years ago. It wasn't complete at that time though.
>>14851397
huh yeah I know the commie story, so they gave up and those other two stood by and waited? but then they gave up? I see one group released 5 chapters, is the translation good? Who's doing that?
>Hey guys. I haven't been here for years so tell me everyyyyyyyyyythang.
>>14851437
>and i'm not neewwwww i'm older than aaaaaaaalllll of you suck my diiiiick
>>14851455
Exactly.
>>14849994
The sakai account posts in the forums are no longer tagged as 'developer', which could mean the game was transferred to a different publisher account.
>>14848092
No. thats why its taking such a butt long time
>>14849981
I thought he was going to pull it from Steam. Why bother letting the shit Japanese devs a way to still selll their game?
>>14852016
Seems like he first removed it from his publisher account in panic when heard about reviews fraud, and then decided to go complain to valve so they wouldn't profit from it.
Some people report that Haruka went live while payment processor shit is still not fixed and game is in "Coming Soon".
MG probably should look into it.

When people stop buying garbage translations
>>14852937
If it starts showing up on the usual suspects before they get that sorted than ouch
Are all of JAST's translators too tied up to translate Flowers? Why did they outsource it when they seemingly do nothing but sit on their asses and hold licenses hostage? Did Makoto kill himself?
>>14853335
Its useless to try to comprehend what happens in JAST-land.
However, there's no such thing as "JAST translators", everyone works as contracted team for some single project. Makoto was only their real employee and even he left.
He was busy with SoniComi at time, so they just picked some random guy.
>>14853335
>Did Makoto kill himself?
Peter Payne killed him by making him work on Sonico instead of Sumaga/Django.
>>14853357
>even he left.
proofs?
>>14853335
"Translators." If J-ast actually had those they wouldn't be such a mess. They've already outsourced two people from MG, and from Flowers it looks like they can't even find competent people willing to work for them.
>>14853448
No wonder Nitro+ is open to other publishers picking up their licenses.

Is Haruka still not released? When will at last i can put my dick into a ninja already?!
>>14853604
It's released to people who preordered more than a week ago.
>>14852937
>>14853631
Poor MG, they are totally shitting the bed with the Haruka launch.
All because of Steam pirates.
>>14853604
The payment processor is supposed to be back up this evening sometime.
>>14854130
But the pirates did nothing wrong. It's the fraudulent steam key resellers.
>>14854177
If people didn't buy suspiciously cheap keys, then the resellers wouldn't bother stealing them.
>>14853604
Haruka torrent where?
>>14854192
Okay, but my point is that pirates are not involved.
>>14854192
Pirates aren't buying suspiciously cheap keys, they're not buying anything
>>14854177
>>14854195
Sorry, I should have said "Steam key thieves".
>>14854193
People who preordered are less likely to upload a torrent.
At this rate, MG will have to close down due to being shamed into oblivion. Everyone of their empoyees will take new identities, the smart ones leaving the industry, and the remaining begging SP to take them into their fold as junior assistants. SP simply laughs and walks away, refusing to take in incompetent trash.
>>14854243
hi dovac. When are all your kickstarters going to be fulfilled? I been waiting on Grisaia forever. What's taking so long on WEE? You knew about WAS' paid reviews already didn't you?
Beat Blades Haruka is 966 MB.
So, who set up the steam shit to kill MG? Dovac? Rance general? Rogue MG employee?
>>14854243
More like rance's chances are fucked
>>14854263
I think all the evn games MG was releasing was the cause. They stolen keys built up over time and it's possible the Kindred Spirits preorders pushed the fraudulent purchase numbers over the edge. The timing was just bad. Having 2 major releases so close together was a gambit to begin with.
>>14854261
Welcome to 12 hours ago when I downloaded it from MG's site.
>>14854261
The Japanese version is over 3GB. Did MG pull some compression magic, or did they cut voices?
>>14854295
A lot of compression, no quality loss or cut content.
>>14854303
I'm not gonna come across RARception am I?
>>14854295
What is dummy data?
I'm not seeing what looks like an exe in the folder.
>>14854309
The install, you fat fuck.
>>14854295
We're talking about the Japanese here. They can't into computers. They'd rather write their own custom, laughable compression algorithms while some random Russians like the developer of LZMA shits all over them just by passing by.
Well, then again, they probably have little interest in compression in the first place, since they usually just sell the stuff on DVD and there's lots of space to spare.
>>14854344
That's funny because LZMA is the most commonly used compression in Japanese shit by a huge margin.
>>14854378
You mean right after LHA, right?
>>14854303
>in to

Hey I actually paid for yuri ghosts I've fulfilled my quota for the month
>>14854727
I don't give a shit about MG and their earnings. I give a shit about Rance. So buy Haruka, you shitlord.
>>14854729
Eh, if I enjoy it after pirating it I'll buy it. Reviews seem pretty mixed and I'm not willing to put down money sight unseen
>>14854732
Reviews? What reviews? Can review sites even get the game right now?
>>14854736
VNDB
>>14854737
Don't make me pull out a bunch of smug anime reaction faces.
>>14854750
Not saying VNDB is infallible, but I'm not going to buy something sight unseen when a bunch of people didn't like it. Maybe if they put a demo out I'll try that, but there's none yet.
>>14854750
Please do. Fuck you.
>>14854732
Of course they would be mixed. It is a "Let's throw everything into a game and make money" kind of game.
Which means there is something for everyone to enjoy, and for most people to be disgusted by.
>>14854771
Well if that's the case then I'll probably like it, but I'll still wait for a demo or torrent before committing money to it.
>>14854771
Reminder that the Haruka Challenge is a thing.Fap to every single scene in Haruka. Successfully. Not necessarily in one sitting, no, but it's about the sheer breadth of... content.
>>14854782
No one can do that, Arunaru. It would take half a year to finish it. Unless you want to destroy your dick, that is.
>>14854786
That's what makes it a challenge.
>>14854782
After that, you can take on the Daibanchou challenge.
I took the cinnamon challenge once
>>14854798
Aru, how probable do you think a Daiakuji remake is?
It is one of Alicesoft most well know games and TADA really loves it, and also started the Dai series.
>>14854875
They haven't talked about doing one at all, but I want to believe.
>>14854890
Aru, when's the dick coming out of your ass?
>>14854895
Hi Dovac.
>>14854895
It's a horrible birth defect and I can't afford the surgery.
>>14854811
Im actually doing these challenge right now!
Not that difficult since fetishes not that extreme, but art and little length of H-scenes are what makes it so hard.
>>14854904
If you need money, you can translated Flowers.
> Paid reviews are even a thing in niche Japanese pornographic powerpoints.
> People still deign to deny that most video game reviewers are blatantly paid off, implictly or explicitly.
> Flowers, March release.
Welp, Seinarukana can't come out until mid-summer at the earliest now. JAST only releases like, one game a quarter at most.
>>14855794
Seinarukana could be released tomorrow for all we know.
>>14855817
>>14855794
Seinarukana was worked on by both Aroduc and Makoto. It's a safe bet it is not the translation disaster that Flowers is.
>>14855817
Nope. Still being beta tested. No release date in site.
Gonna take forever since it's a long game. I'm betting on June.
>>14854440
Here's something to show the MG editors. https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/word-the-week/be-something
>>14855828
And now it's being translated by Peter Payne. Hold onto your asses, boys.
Enjoy your weekly Ixrec.

Sounds like haro was given an optimistic timeframe. I wonder if she'll manage to stay awake to put up the blog post at this rate.
>>14856642
I just cannot understand what were they thinking when they decided to launch haruka as is.
JAST delayed preordered games for years, one more week for Haruka wouldn't change anything.
>>14856701
Didn't you see what he said? EVERY SECOND, THEY'RE HEMORRHAGING MONEY!
>>14856642
The paygate integration is in final testing right now. Hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer.
>>14856715
I just mentioned that because people keep acting like we're just not processing orders for fun or to fuck with them or something.
>>14856734
Do you know what literally means?
>>14856701
I doubt them releasing it while no one can buy it will have much effect so long as they do manage to get their payment processor sorted soon-ish(and none of the people who preordered upload it).
I'd be more worried that they're going to have trouble promoting it by having missed the date twice in a row. You don't really get many second chances to have eyeballs looking at you, and haruka was already going to have a lot of problems being that no one will cover it.
>>14856748
Actually, literally is applicable here. They have run costs, while not getting any profit from sales. In the end, they lose money every day.
>>14856813
If you take "losing" to mean "spending" and completely discount profits. Not to mention that's true of literally every person and every business in the world, regardless of Haruka's status, so it's still retarded.
>>14856840
I don't discount profits. They LITERALLY cannot have profits right now.
>>14856866
They have several games on steam.
>>14856878
And just launched a game on Steam that they've sold 5.6k copies of at $30+.
>>14856715
I blame the people who preordered who bitched about wanting the game early because it was ready, and how it wasn't fair to them.
Also, the people who are furious at a few hours delay, and seem to think MG runs in Japanese time for some reason, are really obnoxious. It's not like MG can control what's going on with the processor. And delays for games aren't uncommon at all.
>>14857251
Steam takes 30% and Steamspy numbers for games with only a few thousand sales tend to be very inaccurate, especially this close to when the game launched. All that's been said is that it sold well so far and that Liarsoft was surprised by how well it performed.
>>14847290
Don't watch the anime adaptation, you'll want to kill yourself with a nylon string.
Jast's groupees bundle had ended but didn't sell out.
Apparently Aroduc's translating.
>>14857807
Baldr Sky?
>>14857807
WA 2?
>>14857807
OreTsuba?
>>14857807
Dies irae?
>>14857807
Evenicle?
>>14857807
HoshiOri ?
>>14857807
After the shitfest that was the BB2 TL, no one wants him to.
>>14857911
JAST still wants him.
>>14857807
Sakura no Uta?
Man, Aroduc gets so many replies. I am not jealous at all!
>>14845756
Sumaga release when?
>>14858085
pls respond
>>14858104
Ren'Py has the most support and tutorials. You can try http://www.visualnovelty.com/index.html because WYSIWYG but it doesn't look like it has been updated in years. However, it might be good enough for you if you're just doing the basics.
MG's back up http://blog.mangagamer.org/2016/03/01/were-back/

That looks like of sketchy. I don't suppose cleaning it up a bit is within mangagamer's abilities? Or at least getting them to replace the engrish?
>>14859210

Dovac please.
>>14859210
>That looks like of sketchy.
I'm starting to suspect that you made the page.
>>14859210
We submitted a bunch of corrections to the English on that page, but that's part of the pay processor's system so it's kind of up to them if they decide to follow through.
>>14859520
So, the new payment processor is Japanese?
Also, is March 31st release date for Magical Eyes a placeholder? I thought it was supposed to come out already.
>>14859544
ECGate was Japanese too.
Where do I go to sell my fan translation to MangaGamer?
I don't want to deal with any other company. Sekai has done many bad things in my mind.
>>14859654
Post it here, I'll send it to them:^)
>>14859654
It's better that you license Google's work first, it will make the process smoother.
>>14847157
>>Really though, it’s basically Grisaia no Kajitsu if it were actually good.
> thoughts
It’s a good game but it’s seriously not the same as Kajitsu. This is just Moogy being a dick.
>>14859575
My CC company said it was in Britain.
>>14859654
You email them, and if it's a viable license and your work doesn't suck, then you could earn some bux.
>>14859575
EC-gate was Hong Kong
>>14859803
With a UK office.
>>14859808
You know, not that I would ever pay for porn in the first place, but if I did, there would be no way I'd enter my credit card details in some shady as fuck Chinese payment gate.
