Visual Novel Translation Status (10/28/2017)

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and sorry for being late here. As for the title, it was obviously meant to parodying the old Rance RPG 'Kichikuou Rance' only that instead of Rance I using Chihaya, because the default name for Eiyuu Senki's MC was Chihaya. Another reason for parodying Rance VN here would be to allude that one of Eiyuu Senki writer was also the writer of Kichikuou Rance (Also Rance series up to VI) who was well known as TORI, and there's similarities in term both of the story and the gameplay - except the battle in which it was quite different from Kichikuou. By the way, I knew that Kichikuou was mean brutal king and Chihaya was not very brutal - very nice even, but still I want to parodied Kichikuou Rance here lol. Anyway, in this week I like one paticular updat from Mangagamer here (Hapymaher), but other than that it's still usual week here for some parts.

I think some of you should figure out of why I did talk about Eiyuu Senki here, but in this case you want to be more clear the reason was because JAST managed to release it in few days ago at 24th and they will release Steam version at November 10th later. As for my comment, assuming that both release would had same content as the previous version I would say that this is very redundant releases considering that we already had this released in the past, in which the translation was ripped from PS3 version and it was ported to PC version. The only thing that I think different was this time JAST uncensor the H scenes, in which it was not important enough imo. Anyway at least now there's legal version of Eiyuu Senki for PC there, so if you want to purchase that's good for you then. Other than that, there's no news from JAST which is just another usual week for them lol.

For more Eiyuu Senki here, there's Surferdude of VNDB which released the H patch for GOLD which translated 37 of 67 H scenes. As for my opinion here, I found this is more interesting news compared to Eiyuu Senki release by JAST there, and it might be good because it mean that Surferdude was already trying to work on GOLD narration translation - I want to see GOLD fully translated because it got many gameplay improvement compared to the one that JAST released here. Hope the best for Surferdude there, and good luck to him.

For the rest of fan translation - I did count GOLD translation as the part of fan translation section here, we had Eustia was at 23.47% translated along with 15.53% edited and 15.51% QC-ed, Loverable was at 93.23% translated with Kaho's route was past halfway (54.87%) translated along with 61.14% TLC-ed and past a quarter (25.61%) edited, Pure Pure was at 42.02% translated for overall VN and Chapter 3 was at 15.22% translated, Musumaker was at 42.4% translated, Tsukiyori was at 21.6% translated and 11% edited, and Witch Garden was at 34% translated. Not much to say for the updates here other than good job for Loverable in regard of Kaho's route progress, and nice to see that finally we had an update after two weeks absence in regard of Tsukiyori. As for Tsujidou, right now Maki's route was at 39.89% translated and overall was at almost 59.51% translated. That's all for fan translation here.

From Sekai there's Tokeijikake in which they're almost ready for the release of the first part, and they estimated that it would be at November. Other than that, we also had Daybreak (2nd part) here finally showing the progress again and right now it was at 87% translated. Also we finally see Morning Mist (3rd part) translation progress, in which it was at halfway translated. There would be more news for the latter two at next year, and they said that the engine problem was more or less was mostly fixed because the engine for the first part was the same one for both of Daybreak and Morning Mist (Duh). Oh, and if Sekai say the they can't wait for us to play the first part here, then I would say that I can't wait to be able to see the release of Morning Mist later. That's all for Sekai here.

Winged Cloud was managed to release Sakura Halloween, and according to the LP that I watched it was very short VN. Not interesting to me here, but at least Winged Cloud still had some idea for their Sakura VN I guess. For Phantom Trigger here, we finally had the exact release date and it would be at next year (January 26th). No much comment other than if you want to see more Sakurako, then you would be better to wait until that date.

I like that Mangagamer give the good update for this week, and it was in regard of Hapymaher in which it was finally fully translated and right now it was at 94% edited as well. For now I just hope that Mangagamer would release it quickly after they do some job to Hapymaher, but seeing that they had some VNs that was queued to be released I understand that it would hard to do. Speaking about release, right now they released Naked Butler and they will release Kuroinu Chapter 2 at November 17th later (Same date with Chiru), but seeing that I had less interest with those two I'll just pass those for now.

Other than Hapymaher being fully translated, we had Trinoline was at halfway translated, Sengoku Rance was at 43% retranslated, Rance Quest was at 28% translated, Sona-Nyl was at 15% translated - only around 14 months left if they keep the progress at 3% for each update, Hashihime was at 36% edited, Fata Morgana fandisc was at 97% translated - almost completed, and Sideboob was at 89% edited. Mangagamer was also had a surprise in which they'll had two more announcement in the convention at November later, but seeing that they only had two announcements and this is almost year's end, maybe I'll just expect that they'll announce two nukige VNs later for now.

That's all that I can write for now, and see you next week.
