recruiting Shuffle! Essence+ Translation Project [0.0.3]

[unclebane]

Title: Shuffle! Essence+
Release date: 2004-01-30
Game/Creator: Navel

Description:

Ten years ago, the gateway to the Realm of the Gods and the Realm of the Demons was opened. Soon afterwards, the gods and the demons began migrating to our world. Now there are places where gods, demons and humans all study together, such as the school, Verbena Academy. Rin, a normal high school guy who is the envy of guys because he lives with and be pampered by the sweet, beautiful Kaede. It’s just a day like any other when two new transfer students show up in class: Sia, Princess of the Gods and Nerine, Princess of the Demons. Now Rin’s luck is about to change, for he has been chosen to take one of their hands in marriage. Whether down the hall, next door or from another realm, girls seem to be everywhere.

Progress:
At the time of writing this I just finished making a new engine to run this new translation running on Unity rather than me try to hack my way into a proprietary engine that seems only a few games used, the time wasted on hack my way through it could be spend in actually getting the project done faster. Mangagamer already translated the original Shuffle release and Yumehaven translated the PS2 release of it called "On The Stage" that added the Kareha and Mayumi's route into the game and which they released on Steam as a SFW version of it, their license ran out this 2021 and the game has been delisted ever since. Using those 2 release as basis for what is already translated what is left would be the new girls/routes included in the Essence release (Tsubomi , Sakura, Matsuri, Nadeshiko, Daisy)

Who's working on this at the moment?

Everything is being done by me at the moment, at the moment I am writing I'm migrating the already translated version into this new version

I don't know what else to write at the moment here so I will just drop my discord link in case you want to help out in like anything or just follow the updates of this project:

Well it's my very first VN that I played back in 2009, with me back then expect many sex scenes like in Shera My Witch only to find it almost had none (10 sex scenes). Honestly while the VN is quite interesting in 2009, nowadays there's much more interesting title available in English and not to mention there are much better interesting untranslated VNs from Navel, Oretsuba and Tsukiyori. Still, good luck on your effort and hopefully you'll be able to deliver it (Possibly with the removed sex scenes for both of Kareha and Mayumi).

Since it's been a while, OP may not have seen the notification for this. They're responsive on the linked Discord though if you wanted to check in there.

Last I heard, it sounds like it understandably had to take a backseat to work, but as far as I'm aware, it's still ongoing.

Have they said how much is being retained from the previous localizations for this?
