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!
