Majikoi A Translation Project Discussion

[Jun Inoue]

 

No need to rush things tho, we're patient people (well, most of us ) , take all the time ya need

 

About the route lengths, there's rough estimates of the script sizes on minatosoft's site, I wrote them down a while ago:

 

Sayaka: 280-300K

Azumi: 370-380K

Benkei: 400-420K

=====

C4IS: 400K

Seiso: 420-450K

Monshiro: 200K

=====

Tsubame: 300K

Lee: 370K

Stacy: 370K

=====

Rin: 400K

Homura: 400K

=====

Yoshitsune: >400K

Margit: >400K

Takae: >400K

 

Don't have script sizes for S routes to compare unfortunately, but if you've read Sayaka already you can kinda guess how long the other routes are

[CeruleanGamer]

How much money/resources does it take to make you finish? I wouldn't mind donating to your mountain dew/red bull/coffee funds. xD

 

@Skyzzed: Are all the A routes combined about as big as the whole Majikoi S in terms of script sizes?

 

@Jun: Monshiro's route is short and sweet. All that matters. Although, there's a huge scene at the end that is quite eye catching.

[Skyzzed]

What's this dirty discrimination against Monshiro!

[Jun Inoue]

The after-routes are shorter compared to the rest, Mon with her 200K, and Tsubame is only 300K because she has 2 after-routes for each future that are both 150K

Margit is an exception because so many fans complained about her route in S so they gave her a real route this time^^

I DEMAND A GEN-SAN ROUTE

[Jun Inoue]

Well i don't know the script sizes of S, so I have no idea, maybe someone from the TL team can give us a rough guess on the overall size?

 

 

 

Let's hope it makes up for it with quality content then :3

[eduarddato12]

will there be partial patches?

[Decay]

Man, when you see the numbers next to each other and you add them up, the entire Majikoi A pentalogy seems massive, doesn't it? That's more than a 5mb script size!

 

... Good luck, brave translators.

[dowolf]

Script length in kilobytes looks weird~

But to put the numbers in perspective for people who've played S: 300KB was the length of Koyuki's route.

 

The fact that we're working in parallel (me on Benkei, Storyteller on Azumi, and then checking each other's work) means a partial patch doesn't really make sense.

[eduarddato12]

majikoi is the only vn that actually made me laugh

there are no other vns like that ; ;

 

why live

[mjriedstra]

What's this dirty discrimination against Monshiro!

[Jun Inoue]

I personally was pretty satisfied with Mon's route in S and don't really feel like it needs anything more. Of all the S routes I think it was the most robust. Tsubame's route wasn't bad and she's great as a character, but her plot developments felt hard to buy into by comparison.

 

Though for Inoue Jun, I guess Mon's route could be the size of the Song of Ice and Fire and still seem inadequate.

 

Loliconia ... banzai!!

[Kardororororo]

will there be partial patches?

[twdarkeh]

No, there will be no partial patches. No, we don't take donations. Yes, the scripts are huge. Yes, there are a lot of them.

 

 

Wanko best girl.

[eduarddato12]

you spelled kokoro incorrectly 

[jetpack003]

Margit is an exception because so many fans complained about her route in S so they gave her a real route this time^^

[Decay]

Kokoro's route was pretty short and shallow, but it at least it felt like a route. Margit's route was just a rough collection of h-scenes with flimsy justification. 

[bronx819]

Kokoro and Margit's routes were pretty much there just to give them some attention. I can't say I don't appreciate the H scenes, but it'd be nice to have a more decent story.

[CeruleanGamer]

No, there will be no partial patches. No, we don't take donations. Yes, the scripts are huge. Yes, there are a lot of them.

 

 

Wanko best girl.

 

+1 Wanko ftw, but I also like Benkei. Even though it has less drama, you can really see her growth as a character and not just Yoshitsune's follower. As much as I am looking forward to Azumi's personality changes, I'm looking forward to the translations on Benkei route since I'm about half-fluent in Japanese and I would like to understand her story more.

 

I'm not rushing you guys regarding my donation suggestion. I usually do it for charity and don't expect anything from it since I know the work that entails with translating. I know Majikoi S translation project was hard work and people who translate don't do it full-time but more like a hobby or a summer vacation activity. 

 

Also regarding that Sayaka patch released by Wairu, my game crashes with some kind of "NeXus" error or something whenever I try to view/replay the H-scenes in the Gallery after I installed it. Is there a way to fix this or do I just need to save before H-scenes while playing the routes?

[Skyzzed]

So Margit is the more popular route to the Japanese fans?

 

For one because

 

Kokoro's route was pretty short and shallow, but it at least it felt like a route. Margit's route was just a rough collection of h-scenes with flimsy justification. 

 

but yea, Margit is also more popular, she was #1 in the latest popularity poll, while Koko and Yuki weren't even in the top 10

I don't really agree with that, but that's how it is^^

[Mr Poltroon]

No relationship route, I believe.

I think they announced 5 games in A to begin with.

 

Dowolf seems to be making steady progress.

I, on the other hand >_> have been a lazy bum.

You should give me a kick, or something.

*Metaphorical Kick*

 

[eduarddato12]

without spoilers, i there a common route in the A series, or you can just choose which girl to start with?

[storyteller]

There is no common route. You open with a choice screen.
