JAST is running out of summer awful quickly.

Man, I just want to see Ixrec put up a stats page for Alternative. I know he's taking a break until September or whatever, but still no reason he can't at least stick an "upcoming project" or whatever thing up there like he did when he hadn't started on Unlimited yet... Yeah, I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference, but I'd still like to see it for some reason.

Katahane. It's great and the trial's already out. Go play NOW.

It should become a little better for a limited period of time once Demonbane and Remember 11 will be released.

However, after that there will be nothing left to look forward to for this year with Kizuato and G-senjou being two exceptions (if finished).

>>5952829
>"This page only hosts the scripts of this game. There is no actual translation project yet."

See recent changes, a new translator just listed himself as the translator today and has been translating the first script. Scripts were uploaded a while ago so that message is likely from then.

you can skip mizuha's route in its entirety btw. It's really boring ad even if you like mizuha, she does a 180.

Too bad the Gothderi project broke down.
I haven't read nor understood enough to judge it properly, but it seemed nice.
Perhaps not some master piece but it seemed like something I could breeze through easily and enjoy it, kind of like Kikokugai, only less Cyberpunk and more magic and goth.

Looking at the user account page of the new Never7 guy, looks like he also plans to do 12Riven

Then I remembered wrongly, that's all

Lilia guy just posted an update in the HF thread.That IP address from few weeks ago wasn't really an IP but a riddle, apparently. He didn't say so, so nobody tried to solve it.
Also, he said retranslation is done and he is about to release.

>>5966667
which projecy is this again?

>>5966800
because there is a motherfucking million of projects with lilia in the name amirite

Which version of Killer Queen are they doing?

The doujin version or the plate-sized eyes version?

>>5966667
Goddammit, now I'm hungry. Thanks a lot, Van.

>>5967577
obviously when people say they translate killer queen they totally mean secret game

>>5967577
Original doujin version. The translator originally started translating the later version, someone told him to play the original since it is superior. He did play it and agreed that it was superior, and began translating that.

>>5967577
>The doujin version or the plate-sized eyes version?
Oh come on, check out the dude's earlier art and how he really drew back then. The plate sized eyes art is hell of an improvement over his past styles.

You should listen to the entire soundtrack at least once a day to support the translators

>>5968503
Hilarious in retrospect, Dark Translations guy on his blog (paraphrased):
>I'm not rushing Rinkan Club, my pal SatinCreamDelight is about to finish his Lilia project over at HF, so you'll have something to play while I finish RC.
That was mid-2008

Also, you forgot the part where the car crash made him paranoid so he erased all porn (including completed Lilia translation) from his PC. For the better, as he claims new version is "tenfold" better.

Mashiro iro Symphony......how could you do this to us NNL.

>>5968854
>car crash made him paranoid so he erased all porn (including completed Lilia translation) from his PC
Well that's stupid. Why not just pass it off to someone else or at least keep the data online somewhere.

>>5970433
...What? Where the hell did that come from? Am I missing something?

>>5971035

NNL cancelled Swells, which was supposed Mashiro-iro Symphony, because supposedly they're going to work on officially localizing Minori games.

NNL is known for trolling absolutely everything
And now they say that they're working on officially localizing visual novels
Visual novels by minori, the most xenophobic eroge company in Japan
Okay.

>>5973058
issue?

>>5968854
>car crash made him paranoid so he erased all porn (including completed Lilia translation) from his PC
just from yesterday:
[SatinCreamDelight]
"The BIG news is when I retranslated the script well...I don't want to spoil it but I took a VERY different direction and it improved the translation tenfold.

Yeah, yeah you've heard that I'm releasing the translation before BUT hell has frozen over and the scripts (yes plural) are done.

To be honest I was kinda waiting to see if Lilith was REALLY going to start translating games before moving onto releasing Lilia and since they seem not to be...my file/blog will be hosted in Sweden and no whining by who or what have you will cause me to take anything down. "

So he doesn't want us to piss him off..... dude srsly ~.~

Any news about Love Plus for iPhone?

>>5978531
Closest one is probably Osadai, then Daibanchou

>>5978660
92% > 98%.
Sure is math.

>>5978712
Daibanchou has far more lines than Osadai, comparing relative figures like that is pointless

Nice try though

>>5978748
One is steadily advancing by about 2% a week. The other has actually gone backwards 10% in the last month. Neither comparison makes sense.

Is anyone translating Kanon or Clannad? I really wanna play those.

>>5979077

They will never be translated, I guess you're out of luck.

>>5938942
This reply is really belated but, yes it is, if you're the one who mentioned Sweet Pool not going anywhere in another thread once upon a time.

>>5979089
Really? Fuck! Why is it the best VNs never get translated?

>Demonbane- Scheduled for this Summer
>08/20/10

>>5979089
Aren't they already translated? Or are you guys referring to an official version?

More detailed description of R11 progress:

4 of the 8 days are currently finished with editing and QC, or 53 of 81 total. Formatting of Tips for insertion is progressing too, although I don't have a number for that.

ETA for completion of editing is sometime next week. After that, final hacking and release!

For Sweet Pool, there are a few people working on it now and it's been moved off of TLWiki to a private forum. I can attest it's being worked on though, scripts done is now from 23 -> 29 or somewhere around there.

>>5979077
utrollin? Kanon was translated ages ago. Clannad has a messy patch out, but at least it's out.

>>5979119

How do companies usually strike a deal? I imagine they get a certain percentage depending on sales. Demanding an amount upfront seems ridiculous, whether its thousands or tens of thousands.
