Crayten Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 On reddit is one thing but he trolls constantly on twitter He do troll with anime but not with VN´s Quote
Pizza55 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah but we're talking about a comment he made on reddit which makes it more believable. Quote
douggle Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Except the original thread he refers to on vndb about Peter Payne making that announcement is nowhere to be found. Quote
Pizza55 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 He didn't mention anything about the vndb thread. Quote

douggle Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Well I am still waiting on confirmation for the j-list/jast side I out and out asked them about an official release so we shall see Quote
douggle Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Well if peter payne did make an account here maybe he can post here to give us the 411. Quote
Crayten Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The only think i can say that you guys shouldnt get your hopes high for free release of the Patch. Its basically Seinarukana all over again and with luck you can get an offical release in 2016/2017 Quote
XReaper Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 basically its up to them, if they want to sell their translation or whatsoever to jast or whomever OR play robin hood & distribute it for free ANONYMOUSLY Quote

pimkim12 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Cool, thanks for the advice. It is a shame that many of the fan translations are not as good as they could be. - peter payne he is trying to say your translation is bad dont listen to him he is evil... i cant wait 2 or more years to play this game Q_Q Quote
XReaper Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Nah to be fair he isnt saying anything. you have to see his comment in the original context, where s.o. previously stated something bout yanders translation and stuff. how is he even supposed to judge the quality regarding the actual translation without ever reading/playing it. dont take anything too serious what other people say. and yes if you reaalllly take his comment 1:1 then he is right, cause i know tons of fan tl projects, which are only machine tl based on and "real" projects like listed here on fuwa or whereever are the minority. but screw what i say, cause i´m drunk Quote
Segai Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I highly doubt anyone in this community is bothered by slightly less than perfect translation. If it's better than machine translation and readable I would already be happy. Quote

This is to be expected because the fuwanovel translation community is still in its infancy, and also due to the attitude of posters like Segai here being a very prevalent one (which I actually kinda dislike). I'm actually the one who made the initial statement on translation quality of the Majikoi translations in that vndb thread, and I made that judging the Yandere translation (which IS pretty rough in a lot of spots) and Dowolf's youtube videos, which are about on par with Yandere's work. This is all well and good for a fan effort, a lot of people appreciate the work and it's good enough for them. But these translations would require a lot of work on JAST's end to make suitable for a proper commercial release. Well I am still waiting on confirmation for the j-list/jast side I out and out asked them about an official release so we shall see Well if peter payne did make an account here maybe he can post here to give us the 411. This isn't how things work. They aren't about to drop in here of all places (because of our history with piracy), and if they do say something publicly, it will be vague. It SHOULD be vague, they've had major problems announcing things before they were ready in the past. They probably don't have any details hashed out yet, business deals are probably still in progress, and even if they do get the license, any releases are a long way out. There's a proper timing to consider when talking about projects your company is working on. Darklord Rooke 1 Quote
Segai Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Yes, but you're also talking about free work here. You can't expect it to be commercial grade. And well, it's a lot more effort for little extra result. Quote
XReaper Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 @decay yup your right and i didnt mean to offend the one posted on vndb (you) with my statement. i simply got bit of pissed by the comment above me, where something false was suggested. i know for myself that yanderes tl isnt worlds greatest one, but that isnt the point here. also i said " like on fuwa and whereever (should mean tlwiki etc) Quote
Segai Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I'm mildly irked by grammatical and spelling errors, but I am a Grammar Nazi, and that alone isn't enough to make me rage-drop a VN, so yeah, you're pretty much right. Machine TLs, though...I just can't stand them. Never knew how spoiled I was until I tried reading the non-Houzuki routes in Sharin's fandisk...ugh. Soooo bad. Oh god that translation was really bad. I just Ctrl'd over all of them to get the extra route. Quote

Machine TLs, though...I just can't stand them. Never knew how spoiled I was until I tried reading the non-Houzuki routes in Sharin's fandisk...ugh. Soooo bad. Was there anything to read in those routes, besides eri's route too?It was a nukige vn with no plot. Quote
Deep Blue Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Eh, it's basically a nukige, but it can't be really classified as one, IMO, since Houzuki's route exists. I only read part of Sachi's route before I started skipping all the others. They're basically just afterstory with h-scenes, from what I saw while skipping through them. Sorry for the off topic, after I saw Kenichi having sex with mana and sachi at the same time I had to stop playing it, it was just too bad, I was assuming the other ones were the same (leaving aside houzuki and eri) Quote
Abyssal Monkey Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 LOL, this discussion about Fan TL and licensing near completing is reminding me of FF Type-0 all over again. Quote
douggle Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Looks like a C&D isnt going to happen any time soon. Quote
