Nosebleed Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I've always been anxious to see the novel Irotoridori no Sekai get an english patch. But lately there have been 0 updates from the creator. Tons of rumors started rising about the project being dead. I personally don't like believing in rumors so I'd like to ask does anyone here know what is the status of this project or at least know something about the project? It'd be kind of a shame to drop something that's already 85% translated so I really hope it didn't die. Quote
Kaguya Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 No updates since June 18 of 2013. I believe this counts as dropped. Honestly, I don't think anyone has more info than this besides whoever is supposedly tling it, nosebleed. http://www.tokidan.com/updates/ Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 That's a real shame. Again someone might have known something since I don't know who is involved. They could at least update and say the project has been dropped. It'd suck but it's better than leaving us here hanging. Quote
shcboomer Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Hmmm hard to say, last I heard was that they needed to go through the scripts again. Quote
JeMhUnTeR Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I really hope someone contacts the translators and pick up the project so it goes back to life. I really want to read this VN. T.T Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 I really hope so too. I mean dropping a project at 85% completition is kind of a shame. Just look at the Yosuga no Sora TL project. Those guys are making 1 or 2 % TL progress each month and they still have not dropped it. Quote
Yeah Way Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I don't think we should count a project as dead until we're explicitly told so. The translator ought to have the decency to let people know unless something dramatic's happened. Besides, if it ever does officially die, what's stopping Fuwanovel from picking it up at some point? 'Twouldn't be the end of the world. Quote
Steve Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Last translation update was indeed sometime in June, but Tokidan did communicate with people last in November and the project wasn't dead then. No regular updates doesn't mean its dropped, lets hope. If it is not done by the time we release full EH translation, I will look into it much more and try to finish it / help getting people on it / manage a team to translate it from scratch. PS: I did contact them once asking if they need help managing translators but didn't hear back, it was however even before the last translation update so when I saw they updated I didn't pay much attention to it.

Nosebleed Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 I agree that's why I made this thread because I wanted to know the status. I don't want to make official annoucements or let rumors spread (this was posted on facebook). The comment section on the game's page is also filled with "This project is dead". I just wished Tokidan would at least reply saying "We're not dead" or something. But I'll keep my chin up and pray to Mare and other goddesses for the completition of this project. Quote
Bolverk Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Imo it's not a dead project as long and the translation files still exists and a project member can help to continue the work. If you look at the progress page it seems like 85% is translated, but only around ~10% is Checked and edited. So it seems like he is missing staff? Or maybe he stopped updating the progress page? Hmmm.... Either way it's probably not a bad idea to contact him and see if he wants help. Quote
JeMhUnTeR Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 If it is not done by the time we release full EH translation, I will look into it much more and try to finish it / help getting people on it / manage a team to translate it from scratch.hohoho interesting Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 eh translation? what novels that ? Hoshimemo Eternal Heart translation project that's being done here. Quote
neromercer Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Well I'm happy that, even if really late, we will somehow get this game translated (I hope)... Btw Steve, you really love your lolis to do this :v Quote
krill Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 nice thanx some how i missed that project when reading through the forums Quote
Blizzard884 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 can anyone tell me email/irc/whatever... where i can contact TL? krill 1 Quote
Decay Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 The translator is MIA, nobody has heard from him in ages. The groups IRC channel was Tokidan@Rizon but good luck getting a hold of anyone. Quote
yashasupercow Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 well,i try to contact irc channel groups a few time.But there's no respond Quote
SpecterZ Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 It is really sad to see project with a lot of progress like that be dropped. Let's hope, I was wrong about this project, or someone continues this project. Well I'm happy that, even if really late, we will somehow get this game translated (I hope)... Btw Steve, you really love your lolis to do this :v I want to help too but I don't have any skill to do it, my English&Japanese proficiency are good enough for me to read but not enough for helping translation project, yet Btw, after stay in Fuwa for a while. I feel like my minimum age range is getting lower and lower. Quote
