An excerpt of the translations, taken just after Sumika bonked Takeru for groping her boobs while she was trying to wake him up: Some of these differences are minor, but have subtle differences in the meaning, such as "so hard" instead of "that hard." "That hard" implies a very specific level of being hit at he's uncomfortable with, while "so hard" implies a broader range, he's mostly not okay with being hit hard at all. With the second line, Amaterasu's version makes Sumika feel more passive and kind of whiny, while the revised translation makes her sound more assertive. "It's your fault" is what you say when shifting the blame, "It's your own fault" is something you say from a more detached position, when you don't think you had or deserved any of the blame in the first place. Then there's just a lot of minor, obvious improvements. "Squeeze" instead of "move" for instance. "Your hand moved" is not at all obvious in its actual meaning, and the moment you have to think about a straightforward joke is the moment it becomes way less funny. Overall, all of the minor accuracy improvements (such as "Why not" instead of "Why would you say that") makes the dialogue flow so much better. Like, every line actually feels like a response to the previous line in the Degica version, while the Amaterasu version felt like it was full of more non-sequiturs. It gives the dialogue a snappier back-and-forth dynamic to it that simply makes it funnier and more interesting to read. And the final few lines in this sequence make so much more sense in the Degica version. The simple "I'm sorry......" made it unclear exactly what he was apologizing for, and it felt like it came out of nowhere. "Look, I'm sorry alright?" feels like the kind of insincere apology that Takeru would give, while the nature of the apology makes it more apparent that he's apologizing for groping her. And so when he immediately takes it back, that take-back has more impact when the apology itself isn't so confusing. And the nature of the take-back is just so much better in the new version. "...yeah right" with lowercase Y and all, feels so weak that you actually have to wonder what it was for. It could even be mistaken for a retort to Sumika's last line saying that he can't act like an idiot forever, which isn't the case. Overall, the new script is so drastically better in almost every single line that I cannot even begin to fathom how anyone could prefer the old Amaterasu version. The old version was a confusing, boring mess, the new version feels snappy and even kinda funny, which is something I didn't think was possible for Muv Luv. Takeru comes off as being cockier, and this cocky attitude is pretty amusing in the new version. I was so insanely bored by Extra when I read it a few years ago, but this new version actually feels readable and mildly entertaining in its own way. The content is still pretty insipid, but perhaps the dialogue can actually inspire some occasional laughs now. But they did use the em dash improperly, so actually this is a garbage tier translation.

Visual Novel Translation Status (07/16/2016) For your info I was type this at the tab, so forgive me for some shortcoming here. Anyway, as for the title because we had Muv Luv released, and the sequel (Alternative) was happened to be inspiration for hit manga Attack on Titan, so I decided go to use title Attack on BETA (Since Attack on Titan also had prequel titled Before the Fall, so I decided to use the same title, although the picture for title inspiration was girls from Muv Luv playing lacross though). Oh, and by the way for some people who didn't knew BETA, it's obviously mean as stand in for the titan ie the aliens that invade Earth. This week, other than Koiken Otome and Muv Luv releases I think there's only usual update here. The unusual thing this week would be that JAST had the update here, although too bad that Mangagamer didn't had any update this week (Guess I need to wait for another week here). I'll give my thought in regard of Decay musing at PS later. For JAST, one of interesting thing for now would be Eiyuu Senki translation progress, which for the progress they started to translating H Scenes. In regard of H Scenes translation, I remember that back at Hongfire one VNDB user Surferdude was translating H Scenes and right now it was around 50% H Scenes translating. Maybe Surferdude was decided to work together with JAST here. Another interesting thing here would be Flower progress, which right now was had 70% editing progress (Although the progress from JAST Tumblr page itself was at 50% though) and 15% beta testing. For progress roundup here Princess X was 70% translated (Very fast progress for just recently announced project), Schatten was 96% translated, and Ryko was editing 50%. Sekai progress was usual here. Since finally the progress was touching 5%, I decided to cover the translation progress for Korean VN here 'I Miss Her' (The exact number here was at 5.66% here). For Chrono Clock translation progress, it was at 25.97% translated while finally Tenshin Rahman translation was moving slightly here (30.04% translated here). Memory Dogma was almost fully translated with the progress was at 97.07%. That's all for Sekai progress here. Oh, and apparently Princess Knight Chapter 1 will be released at this month. For Other segment, we finally had Muv Luv released at Steam. For now I'll just said this release was redundant, although I'm also know that there was some people who like new translation compared to the old one here. Corona Blossom Chapter 1 will be released at July 27th according to VNDB, although it was only July at Steam store though. The surprise here would be finally we had Mari's route fully translated for Libra translation progress here, although we still had Mari's bonus route untranslated though (Hopefully this will be quick, because I think it'll be shorter compared to the route itself). Bishoujo Mangekyou as usual give the translation progress, although the team was facing slightly obstacle in form of translating interface and reforming the staff (For the progress, 23.4% edited and 14% QC-ing here). Tsui Yuri was also had usual progress here (Halfway (50%) 53% translated and 43% 44% edited here). No update from both of Majokoi and Witch Garden yet, and we had Hanasaki translation progress was at 32% translated for Hikari's route. For Tsukiyori, we had Luna's route 20% translated and overall translation progress was at 32%. Oh, and there's a project that was dedicated to translated Nocturnal Illusion Renewal, and apparently our JAST head Peter Payne was okay for fan patch here. For sad news, sorry to say that Koiseyo translation project was dropped here. And for a good news here let me said congratulations to Flying Pantsu for finally giving birth to their 'baby' safely after 3 years or struggle iirc (By 'baby' I mean Koiken Otome translation patch duh). Hopefully some of you enjoy Koiken Otome, and once again just think Koiken Otome as charage/moege with chuunige spice instead of full chuunige here if you ask my advice of how to enjoy Koiken Otome. That's all for my review, and see you next week. PS - To answer Decay comment, I didn't had complaint for both of Koiken Otome and Muv Luv new translation here. So my statement in regard of Muv Luv translation would be even if I said the release was redundant, I'm still said that it's fans right to either liking old translation or new translation here. Oh, and if Decay said that Ixrec translation was bad, I'd read some rumor that Ixrec was translating it half-hearted because he didn't like Muv Luv here.

(Still a Work In Progress) This week I was busier than in a long time with the project. First, I must apologise. When I released the prologue patch I was sure that everything from the engine to the buttons would've been translated, and according all common sense it was the case... until I revisited it this week. Let me give you a short version. I resumed my work on the engine since there were a few quirks I wanted straightened out. So I finished my work and gave the interface patch to my proofreaders, assuming that it would more or less go fine. Well, I was gravely mistaken. Hex editing, UTF-8, resource editing and much more. All of these were used in the engine, making some buttons, text, menus and some features to remain untranslated. Since then I've busted my ass ironing out everything and soon I can say that it will truly be completed. Allow me to say it again: I'm deeply sorry for my errors. I thought that just editing the files would be enough, but I was naive, too naive. I intend on finishing it in these following days, but the full interface patch won't be released. Instead, once the full patch comes out, that'll replace everything, and I'll destroy the prologue patch, since it's unfinished in every possible aspect. I hope you understand. One other thing, One of our editor's work was severely lacking and after some serious contemplating, I've decided to kick him out of the team, recruit another QC and move the team roles around according to everyone's wishes. You can see those in the Staff page in the upmost part of the site. As I just stated, because of this unfortunate outcome, editors and QC'ers have had their hands full with fixing the aftermath the one editor left behind, so I once again apologise for the lack of progress this week. But on the bright side, our team is now solid and the progress should be more solid and smooth. Progress: Translation: 100% Editing: 24,3% QC: 14% Proofreading: 0% Until next week, everyone!

Go to the mall. There you will find a bench with some people drinking beer. They might join you if you give them beer for doing so.

What up people. I'm here again with the spicy weekly news as always. Majo Koi Nikki Translation progress has recuperated now, since @Hasa is back again with full force. Alice's route is progressing as well as Mii's and the second part of the prologue after the OP. Regarding the partial patch, it's basically finished at this point (just some buttons left to translate and we're good to go). We decided to delay its release date. Sorry about that, but shit happens. Editing progress has been slow, but now that I'm back from vacation in Portugal (nice country btw) I'll start editing as well. Progress Translation 24% - (9857/40394) Editing 13% - (5234/40394) Witch's Garden Translation keeps progressing and we added a new TLC to the team, making it 4 people checking the translation text at the moment. Editing is progressing slowly at the moment because we want to TLC a big batch of text before letting them work. The most probable thing is that our 50% game patch release will come out by the end of the year or so, and it will contain interface, prologue, common, Ririko and Misumi routes. Progress Translation (yes, there has been a slight progress here) - 63% (42410/67197) TLC - 8% (5354/67197) That's all. Cya next week peeps and have a nice day.

Also note that Japanese high schoolers don't speak English. I guess we should just stop translating altogether now because it being in English would break immersion.

Luv you Shindol

World-renowned novelist and translator Umberto Eco would undoubtedly support Conjueror on this one. I'll direct you to the section "Sameness in Reference" in his essay collection Experiences in Translation, pages 14-17, where he talks about his own translators handling a scene from Foucault's Pendulum. Eco's original describes the scenery using a literature reference to a hedge which would only be recognizable to Italians. He basically told all his translators to put some literature reference that would be understood by a native speaker of their language, even if it was to something not literally depicted in the original (e.g., add a freaking castle or a tree or whatever instead of a hedge, for all he cared), because the important thing was to keep some recognizable literary reference, not the specifics of the scenery. The English translation, for instance, made a Keats reference. On a personal note, I recently edited a reference to a mid-90s Japanese pop song by some band I've certainly never heard of (and mad props to the TL for recognizing the reference, seriously...) into a Bruno Mars reference, so that you could understand that the character was kinda singing a pop song, not spouting complete nonsense. It was completely incomprehensible before. Now it's understandable. It's pretty obvious which is the better translation.

While I like the translation overall, I... can't really agree with this part. People are already reading visual novels with certain "exotic" expectations, they know how these works of fiction are inherently japanese and are usually ready to encounter some specific things that they may have to look up. There's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't hamper the "experience" and globalization/localization is not a goal in itself. And at the same time would you agree with the same change during the translation of the "big" literature? Would any "professional translator" that Conj likes to bring up think this is a good idea? Would changing Ishiguro to Akunin in the context of, say, "writing a butler story reference" during the translation to russian just because he is a lot more famous in Russia and most people will "have the same experience without looking up what was the talk about that person all about" be deemed as acceptable by avid russian readers? Or by anyone for that matter. Why should gamers be treated any different and why should weird double standards be created specifically for them? Or vice-versa, if you think that example is too famous. I doubt many of you know Lev Leschenko, so should he be just changed to Tom Jones on a translator's whim in a translation of a russian story? Just so people shouldn't have to look into the estrade of a different country and continue reading with the similar analogue in mind? I don't believe that's how "delivering the same experience" works.

Sounds legit, I know I've interacted with more VN characters than human beings.

Prologue patch links are now obliterated, but once I'm done with the engine fully, I'll push an updated patch that actually translates the engine and interface fully and has a slightly more improved text all the way to the start of the first H-scene, but the quality isn't what it'll be in the end. I'm calling it the "Mistakes we're made and it wasn't pretty"-patch

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is probably the qualitatively best video game ever made. It's pretty much the closest you can get to perfection. But my favorite video game of all time, is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I am a huge fan of the entire series, but nothing will ever beat the first chapter in the book. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has a well crafted story, very memorable characters and it completely pulls you into the whole lawyer thing. I played this game sooo many times, I could probably do it blind now. My nostalgia pick goes to Pokemon: Colosseum, because it was my first pokemon game and did things very differently but better than the main games. It's a shame that the pokemon company tries so hard to deny it ever existed.

There are many games that rank very highly for me. However, to this day Sonic 3 and Knuckles still ranks the highest out of any game I've ever played.

More likely, he is going to join forces with Assad and form a dictators' confederation, lol Incidentally, nice avatar... I really wish they'd make more Crest/Banner anime... Edit: Now he's blaming it all on a cleric in exile... oh well, at least he has creativity on his side.

That's a tough one. My first inclination is SW:KotoR or Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (it's the game I've replayed the most out through the years), but I actually think MGS3 might just win out overall in terms of complete and utter adoration for every aspect of the game. I'll leave this here: /

Persona 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Ys Origin Persona 3 is one the best and first JRPGs I've played and has special place in my heart. Story, characters and gameplay; everything is so engrossing. S.T.A.L.K.E.R (all of them) have the best shooting mechanics and open-worldish level design I've seen in a videogame. That combined with the amazing atmosphere of The Zone and emergent gameplay thanks to roaming patrols and mutants, and changing weather conditions makes for amazing experiences. Ys Origin is the most satisfying ARPG I've played. It's fast, fun and straightforward, difficult yet fair and very rewarding. Bosses are tense and music is totally awesome.

E.T.

Hard to pick just one game because I have so many, shenmue, ace combat 3, syphon filter, silent hills 2 or 1, resident evil 2 or 3, dino crisis, shadow warrior, duke nukem 3d, blood, planescape torment and i can go on and on and on xD (and yes every each of those games i can play it without getting tired or bored) Genre...mmm maybe survival horror and rpg, fps is way up there too.

Last time I talked about trade-offs in editing and high-level motifs; macro-scale stuff. This time, I want to talk about a micro-scale topic: how to make an individual line better. As before, I'll be demonstrating this with examples drawn from recent editing experience. Before writing this post, I went around looking for other people talking about similar things, and I found this reference: http://kristensguide.com/Writing/powerful_sentences.asp. Frankly, it's great; probably better than what I have, especially in terms of breadth of topics. Give it a read and get your editing learning on. For this post, I'm going to deep dive into one single topic mentioned there, though, for which I've been saving up examples: putting the first and last words of your sentence to good use. The first and last words of a sentence are powerful. They're memorable. Forgetting the middle of a sentence is natural, so put a word at the end of a sentence when you really, really want that one word to be remembered. Okay, so what did you get from that last paragraph. I hope it was "first", "powerful", "memorable", "forgetting", and "remembered", because that's the point of this blog post. Anyway, let's look at some examples from my recent edits to Majo Koi Nikki, some to the prologue patch we're about to release, and some later. I'll point out other things that I changed as well and why, but this one point is going to be the running theme. Original: Looking in the mirror, she pondered for a second and answered with a shy smile on her face. Potential problems: - "on her face" is extraneous - that extraneous phrase is squatting on valuable real estate at the end of the sentence. Mine: Looking in the mirror, she pondered for a second, and then she answered with a shy smile. Changes: - drop "on her face" (for both reasons above - it's less verbose, and now I get "smile" as the last word in the sentence, which is great) - the comma after "she ponders for a second" is intended to give the reader that same mental pause as "she" has, to better set up the last part - "then she" somehow pushes you out of that mental pause and into the most important part: that shy smile, lingering at the end of the sentence. Original: Tokeizaka-san irritatedly flips through the book, but her hand stops suddenly. Potential problems: - With the benefit of spell-check, "irritatedly" => irritably - "suddenly" is often overused I actually really like the original; if you left it alone, aside from the spell-check correction, I wouldn't fault you for it. The verbs are great, "irritably" is a good use of a modifier, and the sentence communicates multiple events very concisely. But there's always room for improvement. Mine: Irritated, Tokeizaka-san flips through the book, until her hand suddenly stops. Changes: - Drop "suddenly." "Stops" is strong enough to carry that feeling of suddenness on its own, so "suddenly" is only making things weaker. I've also noticed a tendency for raw JP translations to overuse "suddenly", which makes me especially biased to remove it. It's the typical problem of overuse: if everything is happening suddenly, it might as well all be happening normally. - Move those good words, "irritably" and "stops" to the memorable points of the sentence. "Stops" we got for free, "irritably" requires a small bit of juggling. Unfortunately, Tokeizaka-san's family name is a bit unwieldy at best; better to bury it in the middle of the sentence and let the nice, emotive words take pride of place. - Swapping "but" for "until" made for a clearer plot to the sentence, I thought. Original: - The colorful beauty article are displayed neatly. Potential problems: - Engrish - Passive voice - Not flashy enough Mine: - Iridescent beauty products dot the shelves, arranged with flawless precision. On that last potential problem: normally my style is pretty spare. My typical goal is to drop adjectives and adverbs, and make verbs and nouns stronger to carry the weight of description, without going overboard on vocabulary. More often than not, I'm trying to make long sentences shorter and punchier. I didn't do that here. For context on why, it would help for you to hear the ridiculously high-brow BGM accompanying this scene and see the gorgeous background art. So, here: Background: BGM: Equally important for context, you need to know about the surrounding narration: basically, the narrator is currently marveling at just how amazing this beauty parlor is. One of the benefits of generally being spare with your adjectives and adverbs is that they then work a lot better when you actually do pull them out. A good mental model is that you have a budget: don't spend your nice words if you don't need to. Only pull them out when you're going for the razzle dazzle. The analogy breaks down fast, but basically, if you're constantly using flowery language and overdecorating the ordinary scenes, nobody's going to be impressed when something extraordinary happens, just like the overuse of "suddenly" I mentioned earlier. Since this actually is an extraordinary moment for our narrator, I'm spending a few nice words now. And again, I want to call attention to the first and last words of the sentence. Those are strong places in a sentence (or, especially in the case of a VN, a line). Previously there were pretty weak words there ("The colorful" and "neatly"); now we've got "iridescent" and "precision". Good words in good places. One last thing to mention. I wrote each of these up in the middle of editing, and then later edited that up into a blog post. I made changes to the edited line itself in the process of writing all this stuff up, which made it better. In fact, I even noticed a problem while writing up this blog post and further refined the line. You'll never know what it was (probably). The point being, simply spending time reflecting on an edit, and especially writing down your observations and motivations for certain choices, will help you do better work. You don't have to be this thorough all the time (I certainly am not), but every time you do an exercise like that, you'll learn from it, and then you can write up your own blog post and teach me something.

Hello fuwanovel community , i am just a normal guy that likes to read visual novels , since i am horrible at introducing myself , i will write about some general information about me as if it was a report xD Age:18 Gender: Male Hobbies: Reading visual novels and playing board games How many visual novels did you read: I believe 101 What is your favorite vn: I personally do not have one xD Extra Information: I do not have a vndb account ( since i believe that , i do not need one ) After reading this introduction , i was like , how this is so terrible , but i am not going to spend another 10 minutes thinking on how to introduce myself i am done xD

Yeah, I already knew this would be your answer. Many people hold this viewpoint, including me. I've no time to waste with dullness in order to "eventually" reach alleged greatness. Though personally I liked them both back when I read them. I'd sure I'd hate the translation now, though.

Ooooh, required dullness – absolutely the worst kind When people review the different parts of video games, whether they be ‘The Banner Saga’ or the many Telltale games, they don’t go back after it’s finished and score the 1st part a ‘10’ because it was ‘setting up’ the fantastic final part. Authors are sorta expected to make their ‘setting up’ parts a little engaging by themselves. Now if you find Muv-Luv Extra good, that’s fine. But just because the last part needs the first part for maximum payoff doesn’t (by itself) mean the first part is any good. See this? That's not how the review process works xD

This is starting to sound like a good idea.

@Kenshin_sama@Kurisu-Chan@havoc@Maxel

If Grisaia can teach you to abuse and take advantage of broken girls, I do see this as plausible

You're missing an e at the beginning.

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, without a doubt It has everything I want in a video game: pleasing aesthetics, replayability like none other, pleasing mechanics that don't collide with eachother, smooth controls, tough as nails that makes you think for yourself, and satisfying gameplay. Another great canditate would be Pokemon HeartGold as my favorite Pokemon game

Ahh, whaaat? The trap route was just a joke? Hmph, not like I care or anything. I just wanted it so that other people could enjoy it, I didn't want it for myself, don't get the wrong idea!

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire since I like Kyogre very much My favorite genre are RPG

The one on Atari 2600?! Anyway, I like Pokemon Emerald the most.

Agreed with the assessment that that passage has noticeably improved vs. the original, although: "Psych" kinda sounds like an old person trying to remember what young people sound like to me But you can't even tell that one girl is drooling anymore. This is vital information.

My avatar is from Secret Game 2nd Stage and Secret Game Code:Revise Vndb: https://vndb.org/v16862 and https://vndb.org/v5435 And i would recommend to start from innocent grey mystery visual novels series ( what i call ) , these are Cartagra~Tsuki Kurui no Yamai , Kara no shoujo and Kara no shoujo- The Second Episode 2 Vndb: https://vndb.org/v515 , https://vndb.org/v810 and https://vndb.org/v5922 ( Btw , i would recommend reading at a order that i put these visual novels ) If you had already read those visual novels , then i would recommend Umineko ( the first 4 chapters were recently localized by mangagamer ) , G-senjou no Maou and Dangan ronpa kibou no gakuen to zetsubou no koukousei and Super Dangan Ronpa 2 Sayonara Zetsubou Gakuen ( i am not a big fan of the Danganronpa series , but i believe it would be a good start ) Vndb: https://vndb.org/v24 ,https://vndb.org/v211 , https://vndb.org/v7014 and https://vndb.org/v7679 NOTE: If you want some more recommendations , just please ask me and i shall give you some more, thx for reading

Looks like Live2D, feels like Live2D... but I guess it isn't; neither E-Mote. Care to elaborate on animations and game engine? If this is supposed to be an informative topic, rather than a plain advertisment, you should try to describe the game a bit more. Copypasting a vague premise and few character descriptions doesn't really tell that much about the whole project itself; what are you trying to achieve? Are you looking for help? Do you want to spread the word? Generate hype? A couple questions from me: Considering nature of the game, are you planning to include adult content? If so, we should expect a patch available off Steam? Is this going to be a classic visual novel, or an actual dating sim, including gameplay in form of character and time schedule management? How big of a role will animations play within the game? Any ideas on final pricing and business model? Hopefully you're not planning periodic releases in form of story chapters? Any actual studio/game website, Kickstarter page or anything else, that holds more information? Not really my kind of game, but who knows... if humor will prove to be 'intelectually' entertaining, I might end up checking it out I have a feeling Izumi's knockers might result in protagonist's gruesome death through suffocation. PS. Athletic gals usually have much smaller chests, due to many different reasons

Heh, that is one way to word it I guess. I personally just don't like games with censored / cut content, no matter how insignificant the actual cuts are. It's more of a principle really.

Finished Cyber Slayer It's a great short VN Battle scenes were aight, the first two baddies were typical fodder, but it gets a bit more thrilling and high-stakes for the last of them, naturally. I really enjoyed the moral implications of what really makes someone "human" in this world full of cybernetic enhancements and how it was applied to Taolou and his beloved Riuli. The best parts of the VN for me as a character-centric pleb were the downtime in between fights. That's when you really get to feel for Taolou as he realizes his time is limited and his body starts to fail from all of the fighting, but he continues pushing himself regardless in a typical "I can only die once I fulfill my goal" fashion, only keeping himself sane and finding solace in watching his cute lil' gynoid develop. 8/10, read it!

Because

Reasons that should be obvious to anyone who reads the news...?

Update 4 for the game was released, get it https://s3.amazonaws.com/mangagamer_public/Haruka_Update_4.zip Let me know if it fixes everything.

Nyaa
