Hi everyone, I'm yumi from pantsudev and we're working on a translation of the 2019 adult visual novel True Love's Lily Dyes Red 真愛の百合は赤く染まる Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru https://vndb.org/v26232 Team Team: pantsudev - Discord - Homepage - Twitter Lead: @yumi Translators: yumi, @LuckyDaikon Editors: yumi, @nihilloligasan, girlrituals, Beau Programmer: yumi Contributors: @Zakamutt, @Funnerific Ex-members: BlackBane91 (TL), @aho (ED) Background The work started sometime in the spring of 2020, mostly due to happenstance. I was bored and started hacking around this nifty new VN I'd found. I developed my own tools and launcher/loader and started translating. Once it began to look somewhat promising, I announced my lone work here so that others wouldn't accidentally end up duplicating my efforts. Current State Since the start of the project, I've been fortunate to meet some fantastic, nice and helpful friends who've certainly helped take the project to another level. Progress has been sometimes sporadic, sometimes steadfast, yet always inevitable. I'm a busy person, but never abandon my projects. Last year (2021) was a bit quiet, but this year (2022) we've been happy to recruit THREE new awesome editors, and really picked up the pace again. I created custom collaboration tools that allow the others to work on the project without my involvement at all, greatly improving efficiency. A web-based translation editor allows everyone to translate, edit and comment on all the content in the game comfortably, and a custom app allows everyone to synchronize the latest changes from the shared web editor directly into the game on their computer. 2023-02-15: Still alive Still here, still going. You'd better believe it. Join our Discord. However: It seems that we'll now be recruiting one (1) capable extra-/emergency translator! We're no longer recruiting for new members. Thank you for your interest! 2022-05-25: Situation update! We're no longer recruiting editors. Thanks for your interest, and a warm welcome to nihilloligasan, girlrituals & Beau who recently joined the team! As an interesting aside, with aho and BlackBane91 having retired from the project last year, we're now a team of 5 girls. I swear it wasn't intentional. But slightly interesting, huh? 2022-05-25: Situation update! The project is roughly 50% done now - and we've doubled the translated line count within the last 5 months alone! The new TL & edit tools make for a much faster workflow, and all the programming and UI work is also pretty much done. Therefore I feel confident in stating that we're now moving at a much faster pace than at any point before. It's not going to take two more years. What else? Well, our previous YouTube account got nuked; you can subscribe to the new one here. Our Twitter account is @pantsu_dev should you care to follow. However, we are primarily active on Discord. Alright, cool! Anything else? Feel free to let us know what you think! Join our Discord or reply to this thread, or PM me with any questions. Thanks for reading!

Well I guess I should have mentioned that I played it ! :3 Same thing with Sharin no Kuni! Played it! Really the reveal on the later route is so fucking amazing. Forgot to mention it :3

From my observation, Gatcha games are nothing but a thinly veiled form of gambling. In that sense, they are exploitative by nature. Particularly of people who are prone to gambling addiction. But for me the real crime is that the content that comes from Gatcha games tends to be pretty low.

I'm reading No game no life,torture princess,strike the blood and when it arrives the youjo senki light novel.

No lmao. This is fuwanovels, not reddit that people'll be toxic towards you for no reason. Enjoy your stay here.

Yamaguchi Mioko's album Tsukihime from 1983 reminds me a lot of Clannad's soundtrack when it comes to arrangements and overall atmosphere. For me it totally hits the sweet spot of being melancholic and relaxing at the same time:

Recently Akina Nakamori comes up often on the radio I'm listening to Today I recorded instrumental cover of her song "Jukkai (1984)"

Yesterday, as I went to sleep, I listened to Maiko Fujita. There's something in her songs that tugs on my heartstrings even though on the surface they're pretty typical Jpop ballads. Don't know what it is exactly. (Or perhaps I'm just captivated by her beauty? But then, I was only listening, not looking ) The first song on the disc was 藤田麻衣子君が呼ぶのなら, which is also featured in this live clip: Now I think I have to get some of her live discs as well

Indeed It sounds very good with this natural-sounding singing. What was with the album version - did they overuse the vocal processing? (extreme tuning etc?) BTW recently I tried to do kind-of "live" cover of one of abovementioned Yoko Matsuura's songs. Here's the result - officially approved by the author herself, despite my terrible singing Also, this time I also put English translation of lyrics in the subtitles.

I AM A GENIUS. BOW BEFORE ME, PEASANTS. This hypothetical badge will make a fine addition to my already amazing profile.

Alriiiiiiiight, now comes the moment no one asked for: the disappointing answers and the shocking results! 1) A Not my fault the teachers never picked a book I actually wanted to read so classic lit usually put me to sleep. My school's cafeteria was also so-so most of the time so lunch break didn't deserve top spot by any means either. 2) B I wanted to argue with Poltroon's motive but... eeerrr... Last time I tried to argue with a friend I don't like DMC all that much they pointed how I was buying my 2nd copy of DMC4 in that same instant so welp, I give up trying to hide it. 3) A I FEEL LIKE A CHAMPION OF SELF-CONTROL WOOOO! I hope the streak doesn't break any time soon. And yes, there are BL gachas but either their translations or gameplay sucks too much for me to care about grinding them so I usually stick to otome ones. 4) B At least that was the original answer, but turns out I beat one more yesterday after posting. Go me, but oops. I'm sorry for breaking my promise that all questions had one right answer, so everyone gets a point for this one as an apology. Bonus 0.5 for Lesiak for getting it right the first time, bonus 0.25 for Zaka for having faith in my capacity of beating 11 bosses and bonus 0.1 for Kiri because he picked the 11 option too one way or the other I guess. 5) A I'm real sorry, but my shit sense of humor kinda prevents me of not choosing Mogeko Castle. I do love To The Moon, but default assets, the align puzzles serves no real purpose, yadda yadda technical bullshit excuses yadda yadda 6) C The other options are glorious, but the last one comes with an extra Archer and oh my god, imagine being served by Archer and eating with him, yadda yadda fangirlism yadda yadda 7) A I prefer 9S as a character, but voice prize goes to Eve. This is him btw (on the right): And if anyone's wondering what the コノママジャダメ is: So after this breakdown, the final score ends up as: 1st - Fiddle (4 pts) 2nd - Zaka (3.25 pts) 3rd - Poltroon (3 pts) 4th - Kiri (2.1 pts) 5th - Lesiak (1.5 pts) So our crowned champion whose badge is coming soon-tm-maybe-never is: FIDDLE!!! Moral of the story: Sheeps are powerful and now I'm scared
