Visual Novel Translation Status (05/12/2015)

Welcome back! Today’s episode of VNTS was a true pill to put together. Why, you ask? Because HTML sucks. It sucks. It’s just the worst. But I’m getting close to standardizing columns in the table and making the weekly post flow better on some of your phones and tablets.

Let’s talk about the crap you need to know right away:

  • Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate Patch 1.0 is officially out this week! Get it here, and be sure to thank the team for their work! 
  • Euphoria launched last week. Decay wrote a great review of it over on the Reviews Hub. If you’re interested in the game, check it out over on MangaGamer’s site.
  • Our VNTS Feedback survey is coming out soon as part of the yearly statistical feedback drive. Please set aside a few minutes to fill it out. This is the best chance of the year to help us mold and improve the series.
  • We will be putting up VNTS posts for the next two weeks (Dec 12th, 19th), and then taking a two-week hiatus (December 26, Jan 02) to, yes, celebrate the holidays, but also to focus on other work around Fuwanovel. If releases or big news comes out, we’ll make a special exception, but it wont likely be the full-blown VNTS experience

Anyway! Welcome to our weekly VNTS (Visual Novel Translation Status) series, in which we track visual novel translation updates in-house (we don’t rely on /jp/ posts on 4ch, for example) and post it for your enlightenment and enjoyment each Saturday. If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let me know in the comments. Any new updates are marked by orange text.

  • Petit Novel Series – Harvest December (3DS ware) will be released in North America on December 10th. I have no idea if this is a visual novel, but it looks quite a bit like it. Anyone know more? (Link to Circle Ent.’s site, look at the news stream for it) shame on you, Tay; this thing is obviously a VN. I even wrote a post on the series a few years ago; we also have one confirming the localization. Also, it’s on our lists already… -Zaka

The Zakabox

Zakabox™ Commentary

Zaka is gone, RIP Zaka

[Zaka was a proud and fierce viking warrior. After his early conquests he retired to his castle and was never seen again. It’s possible that he’s still alive, but nobody can speak authoritatively on the subject. Today we give him a funeral rite worthy of a Viking Lord, and release his spirit back to the Hearth and Stone of Valhalla. – Tay]

「I have returned from the depths of Hel to tell you this: I’m not dead as of current, and I’ve finally managed to twist my sleep cycle enough to work slightly better with you Americans. I must admit I probably deserved my stay in the depths, as I mostly play Aggro Freeze these days and that’s pretty frustrating to go up against.

I’m suffering from the same bug that Decay was stricken by a while ago; WordPress keeps lagging while I edit the post, to the point where I can write an entire sentence and not have it show before like 10 seconds have passed. Updating the MG section was pretty painful, but what must be done must be done, and anything mocking any aspect of Tay’s conduct in any manner is mandatory.

My main hype point today would be that Kindred Spirits is fully translated! Now, I realize that even when editing (currently at 90%) finishes, there will be lots of revision to be done. Still, the end’s in sight at this point – the end, and the beginning of a #yuritopia. I wonder if it’ll get extra press because of the whole uncensored sex scenes on Steam thing. There were some tragic attempts at journalism back when the Steam release was announced; we can always hope something decent happens at actual release, though I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Well, we can always hope for some amusing comments ranting about Big Eroge and terrible, degrading, irredeemable Chinese porn powerpoints.

Root Double being on Prefundia means we’re likely to see the actual Kickstarter soon. 120k, eh? should be doable. Hard to get hyped on something that’ll probably take a year or more to come out, though.

…well then, adios – I may or may not have something for you next week. Oh, and hopefully we’ll have something interesting up on Wednesday too. Maybe even something two weeks after that, too! …I may be hyping this too much.」

Decay’s Musings

Decay-Moneh-maker

[After writing a life-changing review of Euphoria and basking in the adoration of his fans, Decay decided to take his millionz and retire to a small island in the Caymans. He found a new passion in playing and composing classical music with traditional local instruments, and used some of his FuwaDollars to start an all-steel-drum easy listening radio station. As with all ventures he began in his lifetime, the station was a major success and eventually resolved most world conflicts. He is survived by his adoring goldfish and legions of fans, who will forever cherish the time they had together. – Tay]

TAYsteful™ Thoughts

To the Fuwa Crowd: For those of you who are regular Fuwanovel users and have been wondering where I’ve been, here’s a brief explanation and some notes about the rest of the month. Earlier this year I was on a small Caribbean island when it was struck by Tropical Storm Erika. It really damaged the island and hurt a lot of people, and while that kind of damage is far more important and pressing, it also kind of threw my school/research/life plan off the rails a bit. I’ve spent the last 6 weeks trying to compensate for that lost time, and haven’t had a lot of free time to work on the site. What’s more, I’m moving across the country again, and if you know what that’s like you have my pity.

(Continued) The craziness is starting to abate, and I’ll be officially moved-in and stable by Christmas eve. I’ll probably take a day or two to celebrate the holiday with my family and relax, and then I’ve set aside a few hours a day to work on Fuwanovel. The first thing I have to do is finalize the statistical models/launch the year-end feedback drive. I’m also finalizing a report for the community following the Loligate survey, so if you’ve been waiting on that, know it’s almost ready. I’ve put a lot of work into it, so as a gesture of good faith I want to confirm that I try and really listen to you guys. I’m also getting ready to add several hundred games to the front site, and I’m making steady progress on getting a functional launch of the redesigned front site up ASAP. I apologize for the flakiness, and I want to reconfirm my dedication to keeping the site alive and perpetually evolving.

Now. Before you go send me nasty emails about my taste in music, I will refer you to the movie “Easy A” and its masterful depiction of how tunes can infect the soul with or without our conscious approval.

Some levity: I mentioned up above that AstralAir saw a nice little TL bump (up to 59.78%). What I DIDN’T tell you is that the AstralAir team has mastered the secrets of time travel — see exhibit A below. I look forward to hearing what the future’s like… I mean, part of me realizes that it’s probably just like this week but colder and snowier, but another part of me hopes there are, like, teleporters, Batman is a United States senator, Ren is a millionaire, and Decay has ascended to godhood.

Exhibit A. Taken from here.

Joking aside, I do want to give a special shout out to the AstralAir team for their steady stream of work, and the excellent manner in which they keep their fans (and VNTS stalkers) in the loop. I know Chuee works hard to get updates up and out to us each week, and I want to recognize that effort.

This week’s header image comes from Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate (Koichoco) to celebrate its Patch 1.0 release! Get the patch here. Have a nice week, everybody!

Tay, the link to the info about corpse party 2’s project in “The Short Version” segment doesn’t work.

Good work, like always.

Commentary added, reports of my death were not exaggerated (I just learnt that this isn’t an actual Mark Twain quote and died inside a bit, too) but I made it back to the world of the living yet again. As usual Key miracles were involved.

Also added MG updates and various other corrections. And mocked Tay. That was the most important part <3

> HTML sucks

No, CSS SUCKS MASSIVE BALLS. And XHTML. And JavaScript. And HTML5.

But good ol’ HTML4? Nah, that one was actually USEABLE.

You can consider that project dead. There hasn’t been a solid update in over a year.

Any project we aren’t tracking either 1) We don’t know about, 2) Is new and isn’t offering anything to track and hasn’t proven itself yet, 3) Is dead, or 4) There are serious questions surrounding the quality of the project (we don’t want to track machine translation efforts). Case #4 only happens very rarely.
