As some of you know, I was a rather active member of this community up until the end of last year. I had become a board moderator as well as started a revamp project for Supreme Candy in hopes of making a contribution to the western VN world.

 

I decided to leave Fuwanovel due to several things that just rubbed me the wrong way. The primary reason for my departure was the lack of structured organization between board mods and their assigned global mods. The teammates that I was working with were doing very little with their position, leaving the rest of the team to pick up the slack. Working in teams we were expectd to brainstorm together. When it came to getting work done, it was always on an individual basis.

I am sure that many of these internal problems have been resolved. I mean just look at Fuwanovel now, a lot has been accomplished. However, I no longer have any interests in being at staff member. My place is among the members, and I have set my sights on translations over site management.

 

As for the translation project for Supreme Candy... Habluka who lead the original team and I agree that Supreme Candy does not have the support from the community required to complete the project. Habluka, who is/was an avid fan of MakuraSoft did much of the work solo, achieving nearly 15,000 lines before putting the project aside. If any of you watched our Twitter feed, you would have seen that Skyspear Translations was continuing to make progress (albeit very slowly). We still have our image editor and one active TL but have decided to drop Supreme Candy in hopes of beginning a project for a more popular title (thread for this on the way).

 

 

Regardless of the past, I am happy to be here again on Fuwanovel. I look forward to having chats and discussions with all of you once again!

Welcome back,  Heizei!

 

This post is a little serendipitous -- I was thinking about you ~a week ago and wondering how you were doing. How have the last 2 months treated you?

 

I appreciate the feedback about the BM program. I think just about everybody felt the same way, actually, and we've done away with the old model. It was a useful experiment -- it helped me gauge ways I needed to change my plans for the LC -- but it definitely was rough around the edges.

 

That aside, I hope you'll keep us updated on your upcoming project! I'm around if you'd like to chat about specific ways Fuwa can help your team (dev board functionality, private forums space, etc.). Just fire off a PM if you'd like to chat.

 

Again, hope you've been well, and welcome back!

Hoh... interesting to hear that regarding the Board Mod program, and sad to hear that it was the reason you left Fuwanovel  :(

Anyways we're glad to have you back, Hazy Kakashi :3

Hello Tay~

 

The past two months have been a real eye opening time for me. So many things have happened both online and in the real world that I now know what my responsibilities are and what my hobbies are and where I'm willing to draw the line.

 

I am glad that I was able to contribute in any way that I could with the board mod program. Wishing best of luck to the entire management team!

 

Thank you for the offer sir. I will gladly take you up on that when the time comes. We are planning on builiding a website in the near future if everything goes well. After that I will likely begin recruiting right here on Fuwanovel. Its definitely going to take some time to reaquant myself with the website, considering how long I have been absent.

 

 

 

And thank you to everyone else who has welcomed me back! Happy to see all the familar names :D
