So whether they are too busy at the moment is unknown. I will probably know more later. This project has stopped until I can find more or and get in-contact with the others.*Q/A Q: Aren't you doing this on your blog?A: I hardly use my blog, only for script uploads. Q: Can I help translate this?A: If you can pass a small test, then maybe... if we aren't to full.... Q: Isn't this being done by Crying Translations?A: I'm not even going to come close to answering that. Q: When's the next Patch going to be released?A: Still deciding on that, I'm probably not going to release another one until the TL is finished. Q: What happened to the Prologue/Day1 patch?A: I've removed it for a few reasons and no I'm not uploading another one until the project is complete.

Chronopolis Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 You have my support, GSS is a pretty neat novel. Wish you the best on the project! CryingWestern 1 Quote
sanahtlig Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Wow, someone's actually working on a Black Cyc game? If I recall correctly, JAST approached them years ago but negotiations fell through because Black Cyc's game engine had compatibility issues. Might've seen some of their games in English now otherwise. I would recommend approaching Black Cyc or an English publisher to see if they could be reasoned with. The engine issues that held back negotiations back then might no longer be insurmountable. Quote
CryingWestern Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Wow, someone's actually working on a Black Cyc game? If I recall correctly, JAST approached them years ago but negotiations fell through because Black Cyc couldn't / wouldn't demosaic the games. Might've seen some of their games in English now otherwise. Kind of ironic that years later fans are picking up one of their titles to do a mosaiced release. I would recommend approaching Black Cyc or an English publisher to see if they could be reasoned with. Mangagamer might be willing do a mosaiced release. JAST has wavered on its mosaic position lately, so it's possible that door may have reopened as well. I won't do such a thing at the moment, i'm not against the idea or anything, it's more the case the translation won't be at their standards. Quote

Oh dear. Um, well... I'm not sure how enthused I am about a fan translation of a title where the Japanese developer has shown an interest in the English market in the past. An unauthorized project could actually kill the not insignificant chance of an official professional-quality release. This is a dilemma that deserves more attention and further debate. This is one of those fringe cases where Mangagamer's official statement may hold true--fan translation might actually do more harm than good. And since the company may still be interested in English releases, there's a fairly decent chance you'll get C&D'd eventually (as you could be seen as interfering with their right to monetize their IP).

CryingWestern Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 (as you'll be seen as interfering with their right to monetize their IP). At the moment, I'm not interfering with anything, if they announce that they are working on this game before i release a full-patch, then i'll stop immediately. If anything the only current work that has been done is the translation nothing else, nothing has been added to the script files just the translation of the texts. So if anything, the only thing i can get stopped for is that small patch that i made... even that needs to be re-done. so pretty much, i've got nothing for them to attack me on... beside that small patch (too insignificant to do anything). And if anything i would prefer this game to have an offical translation, but nothing has come about... Quote

justaguestacc Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Greetings I made this account just to make some questions. Are any tools required in this translation project? Do you have the text ripped and everything ready as plain text? Quote

justaguestacc Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 If that's the case, I will try to contribute. I have some international trips right ahead, though. So, in two weeks, if it's not too late, I will contact you. Until then, good luck! CryingWestern 1 Quote
sanahtlig Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I double-checked the quote from 2009, and apparently the issue that prevented JAST from reaching a deal with Black-Cyc was engine compatibility issues. GIGA was the company that refused to do a non-mosaiced release... otherwise we might have gotten Baldr Sky by now. New info on the Nitro+ front, he told me they are in fact already working on NITRO+ROYALE a 2d fighting game. http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=453485 Bad news for those hoping for a Black Cyc deal, they were apparently involved in talks but it broke down when Black Cyc had some issues with their own engine. At one point in time they were going to get the game Kingdom, by GIGA, but just before they finalized things they were told the game had to be released with mosaics in place still. Apparently a lot of companies are still wary of the English market. Sadly they haven't had talks with Alicesoft and somehow I forgot to bring up Eushully. https://web.archive.org/web/20150224011419/http://forums.jastusa.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6303&sid=acf6f028e7a0b16298f51ee8a6b68c57 Quote
Decay Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 MangaGamer has no problem doing mosaiced releases, so I wonder if they just never approached Giga or if there's more truth to the current wild fan speculation than one would think... Quote
CryingWestern Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I would have to talk with MG about an offical release, though no promises, nor information on it if we don't or do. Quote
