Narcosis

You can use 1-4a Rename to batch change the filenames, if they're badly named. Scanlators and distro makers also should finally learn how to properly archive and distribute their stuff; its 2016, for fucks sake.

Depending on how much money they've been given, and what are their priorities at the moment, I'd estimate around one/one and a half to two years and more and that's with translators working primarily only on Dies Irae. Dies is not only long, it's very difficult and it will require numerous script revisions to maintain a high level of translation quality. Still, I'd prefer them to take time and do their best, rather than rush things. After all, the rights have been acquired and we will get it, sooner or later There's really no need to rush.

2SLO We gotta go fast

Playing with bars on top and bottom isn't great, either. See what I did there? The point is, past is in the past, present is here and we've yet to see the future. It's a common problem with older games; there are either various display issues or the game doesn't work at all. It is NOT possible to crop artwork well enough to fit both 16:9/10 and 4:3/5:4 aspect ratios, you have to chose. The only thing left is preparing a build with art assets for both, but this means almost 2x the size of stored graphics... and a lot of work, including hugeee production costs. It's quite peculiar, but I've rarely seen studios, actually archiving all the production assets, which is mindboogling. Most often, they get lost with time or various copyright/legal issues prevent them from being stored/re-used (especially cases, when you work with freelancers and they aren't working on a plain contract, but more of a contribution). most often, these change with time and aren't able to work on a reneval version anymore, or take their work assets away with them, meaning the chances for a possible redraw/corrections become slim. I personally find RURUR more interesting and better than Dies or KKK. Why? Dies Irae concerns topics and subjects which are - in fact - truly exotic to most japanese (and us), while KKK is a folklore tale reminiscent of ancient japanese classics and something most western players (not talking about weebs here) will have a hard time getting into. RURUR is basically a semi-hard sci-fi adaptation of The Little Prince, only for adults

KKK is cool, but I'd be truly hyped only if they'd translate RURUR instead.

I expected at least some sort of constructive criticism RIOTTT

Not really, but preety close. The only exception being Masada, who's a lot more skilled in storytelling and conveying messages through their writing.

Kastel preety much nailed it with his wall of tweets a while ago; it's the kind of game, which will truly distance away it's biggest western fanbase, mainly because it's not about the coolness or story, but writing. Therefore - if you're an avid reader, you'll enjoy Dies, but if you're there because you've jumped on the hype bandwagon and expect a chuuni-tastic animey tale, you'll be disappointed; it's not where it's strength lies within. I presume if not for such high production value, Dies Irae would more propably end up as an underappreciated gem of sorts.

I don't think Germans actually care at this point, either. Dies Irae doesn't really talk about nazism, nor calls for it's ideologies; it merely uses it's symbols to convey authentic story setting.

For whom, I wonder?

People still see that symbol this way, little they know Hitler barely took it from buddhism as a token representing inner power.

>Philosophical More occult nazis? I understand the hype, but like seriously, Dies Irae isn't the holy grail of japanese vn industry. It just happens to titillate the kind of stuff we're fond of as fans. Granted, it's still better than the 95% of vn's out there that's, perhaps, why we always wanted it to happen so badly. That aside, this preety much means we kind of achieved our goals as a community. Will that mean Fuwanovel will close down, or is it just the beginning of a more wondrous voyage? Don't forget, guys - eroge was a mistake!

People already talk about this and "super secret project", like it's a given it is what everyone would like it to be pls

Don't jinx, lol.

That said, people are seriously overhyping Dies. It's really not what you expect it to be, so calm your tits

Oh, look. Already deleted

That's a possibility. What else would he really love to translate? That said, none ever said they'd do it.

Why would they take that picture with such a Dies poster behind? That's quite a change in regards to their previous stance, but I won't believe in anything until they release any sort of an official statement. For now, it's nothing more than one of those silly (un)intentional leaks.

I'd post something clever, but all that comes to my mind right now is LOL

I don't know how you managed to strike a deal, but that's awesome.

Turn off the scat and gore (if you're that sensitive) and you should do fine. Euphoria is still preety tame - even with it's controversial stuff on - compared to some other works.
