Behold @Dreamysyu you have now been reborn into a magical being. Feel the power flow through your body. Feel the taste of the power. Now join your master and focus on channeling your power to vibrate in sync with the powers of your master. Focus deeply and you may one day be able to learn to control the sacred powers of being able to see though pixel blur, which makes any HCG appear like the blur was never there.

I wonder?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep, I did it. And it didn't even take me 20 years as I originally suspected.
Since there's nothing to do with this thread anymore, and AMA's are getting old, and it's not like I have anything interesting to tell about myself anyway, just... bring here the nicest VN fanarts you can find or something?

Did you read too much Chiru Chiru?

 
However, conngrats man!

I see multiple reasons why NK wants something to change.
 
First of all, their nuclear weapons program might have serious issues. They explode deep inside a mountain and apparently they caused a bunch of cracks and now it's collapsing, causing earthquakes without detonating anything. One tunnel collapsed and they sent in people to rescue the 200 lost people. This resulted in another collapse where they lost another 200. To my knowledge they haven't detonated anything since that incident.
 
NK is starving and relies heavily on food from the outside world. Most of the food eaten in NK has US flags on it, though the population is unaware of the meaning of that symbol. However the leadership is likely aware of what would happen should the food supplies stop arriving.
 
When China gained a new president, he went on a tour of neighboring countries. He started with SK, then NK before moving on to other countries. Kim Jung Un got furious because he had to be first and he was not to talk to SK at all and there is no way a plane should be allowed to go directly between SK and NK. The Chinese president didn't like getting orders from NK and China has been less friendly with NK ever since.
 
Trump has made UN make severe restrictions to oil exports to NK to avoid oil from being used for the nuclear weapons program. This gave rise to oil smugglers, which US detected from satellite and SK sent the navy and captured two tankers. While smuggling pays well, it doesn't pay enough to justify losing ships and NK is now low on oil.
 
Their threats towards Trump doesn't work. He make replies making it sound like he is ready to attack. That has never happened before and they might not know what to do with that situation. Going to war against a super power without food or oil and with a ruined nuclear program is not a good idea.
 
Movies have been smuggled from South Korea into North Korea through China for years. However while it used to be VHS tapes, it's now micro SD cards and once inside, they are easier to copy. It's also possible to add more than just movies. Technology has caught up with NK and the population is getting aware of how the outside world is really like. A high ranking officer, who deflected has recently stated that the growing unrest in the population mean that unless the government makes big changes, a revolution could break out within a year because the population is at a breaking point and they can't be suppressed back to the state they were in just a few years ago now that they have gained more knowledge.
 
There is a limit to how effective their military is against the population because soldiers are also part of the population with family outside the military. Like Ukraine, a small uprising can turn big in no time because a significant number of soldiers will side with the population (read: own family) and change side. Also using the military against civilians will force UN to react like they did with Libya.
 
In short: the NK government has to do something. What they have to do in order to stay in power for years to come is a good question and odds are that they don't know the answer and is just trying something because it can't be any worse than not doing anything.

Your words strike true, sire, but I implore you to impart your own wisdom upon the thread. As I understand it, you are a man of letters. This is an excellent opportunity to educate the indigenous population of retards here, better known as Fuwanovelers, including myself.

What did you just say about lolis sold to a brothel, Kokoro? I'll have you know I graduated top of my English Literature class at the University of Miami, and have over 50 confirmed credits as a visual novel editor. I am trained in English and I am well known as one of the top editors on Fuwanovel. As we speak I am contacting my network of experts across the internet right now to assemble and work on Musumaker together so you better prepare for the patch, maggot. If only you knew what kind of lolige your "clever" little comment was about to bring onto the world, maybe you would haven't clicked on "Submit Reply". But you couldn't, you didn't, and now the entire VN community will pay the price.

a person thinking of becoming transgender. see, theyll be a trans later.
 
alright, ill stop.

Off the top of my head, my primary focuses when editing are, in this order:
Precision, i.e., making sure that a sentence says exactly what it wants to say. This means you need to know precisely what the words and phrases in the line mean. If you're not sure that you do, you should generally just not use that word or phrase, or if you insist on it, go look up both definitions and other usages of the word or phrase. Google Ngram is a good resource for examining other usages. Naturalness, i.e., making sure that a sentence isn't going to "sound weird" to a native American English speaker for any reason (this is kind of fuzzy, since in some sense there is no such thing as "a native American English speaker", since we all really speak our own idiolect and thus judgments will vary person to person). Classifying all the problems in this area is impossible, and even trying to would take a very long time. What you really need, if you want to do well on this front, is an excellent ear for the English language and a ton of experience reading and speaking. Avoiding unintentional ambiguity, i.e., cases where a single sentence can be interpreted multiple ways (hopefully one of them the correct way). Consistency, at many levels. This goes from the low level of making sure terminology used is the same throughout a game, to the high level of making sure that events in the game make sense together. One important thing people screw up on this front is consistency of narrative tense. The flow of narration should either be in the past or present tense, and it should stay there. Consistency overlaps a fair bit with some of the other things on this list, particularly the next two items. Flow, i.e., making sure that subsequent lines make sense together and form a coherent whole. When two people hold a conversation, they're usually talking to each other. A response tends to be related to the question that elicited it, and so on. Narration tends to be a single train of thought, not a series of disconnected sentences. Tone and character voice, i.e., making sure that the way the line expresses the thought is appropriate to either the narrative tone or the way the speaking character should talk. Character voice mostly comes down to word choice, but also sometimes to syntax. As an example, if your character is a bit childish, they shouldn't use SAT words and they shouldn't speak like the narration of a Dickens book. This objective is particularly fuzzy and difficult to get right. Rarely, people can go overboard on this one and end up flanderizing their characters' speech, or even just make them sound a bit silly. This one is the most forgivable thing to mess up, especially if you underdo it (overdoing it tends to be annoying...), but it's worth doing. Other fuzzier "good writing" things that don't really fit into the above categories. Avoid purple prose, avoid filtering verbs, avoid mixed metaphors, etc. This list is probably exceptionally long, and there's no way I'm going to just think up even a tiny fraction of the things that should be on it. Editors work almost entirely on instinct (because analyzing everything would take forever), along with a healthy dose of preparation and analysis outside of the time spent actually changing lines. For instance, you often need to sit down and think about common terminology, catchphrases, and other things that will influence word choice across the game. That's necessary because of both the "consistency" consideration and the "character voice" one. And although changes are largely driven by instinct in the moment, any editor worth their salt should be able to explain why they are making any given change, and it will usually boil down to one of these items: "it's more natural this way", "this is the way that person talks", etc.
VN fan translations tend to be bad at all of these things. The same is true of many (most?) official VN translations, and also official and fan translations of anime, manga, LNs, and even of many mainstream video games. Being good at each of these things is hard. Being consistently good at all of these things is extremely difficult, and hence why there are professionals. Fortunately or unfortunately, most of the VN-reading community has gotten so used to people being bad at all of these things that they won't notice if you, also, are bad at them, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to be better at it.
 
One thing I want to drive home: Japanese VN writers are professional writers. If all of this stuff I wrote sounds nitpicky and you think I'm making this all way more complicated than it should be, then you are disrespecting the original. You can bet your ass the original writers had all of this stuff (and a whole lot more related to writing in a broader sense) in mind at some level while they were writing it. Either that, or they're bad writers and it's probably not worth the time to translate their work anyway...

A translator must be able to understand what they are reading, beyond just being able to look up a word in a dictionary. If your version of understanding the source text is nothing more than looking it up word by word in a dictionary, you will be doing the same as a machine translation would do. So, before you consider becoming a translator for a real project, you should get better at understanding the language in general, which is really only done by studying a lot, and reading natively written Japanese texts etc.
In terms of how much kanji you need to know, that depends on what you're going to translate, and how serious you are about it. An official translator must know at least the 常用漢字 (common use kanji), and preferably even more, to truly comprehend what they are reading.
But, for fan translators, the main part to focus on is the general understanding of the grammar and such in whatever you are translating. Looking up a kanji compound is significantly easier than learning an entirely new piece of grammar. Additionally, as many grammar forms in Japanese have many different meanings, without the proper knowledge, you could easily pick the wrong meaning/ usage when you simply look the grammar form up on the internet.
So, first and foremost, it is important that you are capable of reading and understanding what you are translating. (So, if you want to translate a visual novel, start by reading the entire thing, and make sure you are capable of understanding it all. If you are, you can start looking into translating it.) Translating something without having read it first is never a good idea, anyways, as you'll be missing out on potentially important context etc.

That description doesn't really tell me if you have the skills or not. Try take a look at Fred's and Darbury's blogs. I'm not telling you to memorize every single detail. It's more like getting an idea of what editing is all about. I think this entry could be the best regarding telling the idea of editing.
Read this and figure out if you could see yourself do work like this. Ideally your English skills should be of a level where you get the difference between each version of the same line. Also you should have the mindset where you care about details like this.
If you feel like you can do it and still want to be an editor after reading this, then we should talk.
Your math sounds right. It's just a shame that I have yet to see any translator do more than a 100 lines a day 5 days a week. Attempts has been made to go faster, but it seems that 100 lines is what the brain can handle for one session and doing multiple sessions in a single day is not a valid approach for most translators. It's not like people can treat unpaid translations as a full time job.

I think it would be bad to give your dog a shock. Imagine if it's you who would have to learn that you get electric shocks whenever you approach some area and the only way to figure out where is by trial and error. I'm also not fully convinced it can't get a false positive, which would be horrible for your dog. For all I know, turning on your vacuum cleaner could make an electric field, which could trigger the shock collar.
 
While it's not the cheapest solution, a proper fence is the best solution. It would be good to avoid contact between your dog and wildlife. Depending on where you live, you may or may not have hedgehogs wandering around your garden, usually, but not always at night. If a dog and a hedgehog meet, then it's bad news for the hedgehog. It will go into defense position and if the dog is hurt, it might attack. Alternatively it might decide to just carry it to somewhere else. Either way the hedgehog can come in contact with dog teeth, get a scratch, which will then turn into an infection, which can kill it in a few weeks. The amount of hedgehog fatalities due to dogs is significant, which is bad considering hedgehogs are endangered and protected animals. Besides hedgehogs are beneficial because they eat a bunch of bugs, which would otherwise cause damage to plants and crops.
Ideally you should train your dog to leave hedgehogs alone. However I have yet to meet a dog successfully trained for that. The second best solution is a fence, which prevents hedgehogs from walking into the territory of the dog, hence preventing them from encountering each other.
A proper fence also prevents other dogs from suddenly entering your garden to start a fight. It happens once in a while that some dog runs away from home and before it's caught, it enters the property of somebody else and attacks the dog.

Game Synopsis
In the middle of summer vacation, the protagonist receives news that his grandfather had fallen ill. Taking the place of his busy parents, he travelled a bit reluctantly to his grandparents’ home. Luckily, his grandfather’s situation wasn’t serious, and he spent time with his grandmother, who he hadn’t seen in a long time. She mentioned that the greenery in the area will soon disappear as it is razed for urban development. He lamented that it was a sign of the times.
As he sat on the porch, feeling the cool breeze and listening to the soothing sound of the swaying wind chimes, he thought it was a very comfortable feeling. He noticed a small girl next to him, basked in the gentle sunlight. He was captivated by her beautiful hair, ears and smile. This is the beginning of a small love story with an innocent and curious white fox and a quiet and meddlesome fox.

INFORMATION
(25/04/2018)
The common route is translated and currently undergoes editing and TLC, translation on the remaining girls' routes began as well. We plan to release the trial version first around this summer, which contains the whole common route. Full patch will follow afterwards. This is also to ensure the final translation will be released as a quality product, since we want to gather feedback after the trial release. The current estimates are rough, as we plan to deliver a polished, self-extracting patch. Either way, it shouldn't take that long, at least not as long as Biman (hopefully)
We want to thank @Arcadeotic and his team. Euphemic Translations will be providing us with additional help and several QC’s that we would’ve needed sooner or later. Big thanks to everyone who is now involved with the translation alongside us.
 
PROGRESS CHART (last update: 19/04/2018)
Common route: script delivered, TL: 100%, currently in editing
Shiro's route: script delivered, TL: ~5%
Kon's Route: script delivered, TL: 0%
 
General FAQ
Q: Is there any way to know the progress whenever I want?
A: Ask here and we'll answer with the current progress. Alternatively, we will update the progress chart from time to time.
Q: What is your team's translation speed?
A: Bee does 100 lines per day on average except weekends, technically you can calculate the precise amount of days it'll take to complete this translation (we are too lazy to do it ourselves, lol.)
Q: When are you releasing the patch?
A: The translation will be done in a year, more or less, and the patch? No idea, but definitely faster than Biman.
Q: No, but seriously - when will be the patch done?
A: When it's done™
Q: Why aren't you looking for help in regards to more translators?
A: We are trying to avoid that, as it will impact the translation's quality for a game of such length.
Q: Do you even have a team name?
A: Yes, it's "N A N I ? ! Translations."
Q: Do you have a website?
A: Yes, it's up, but it won't be presented until the trial version is out.
Q: Is there any sort of place I can reach you beyond this forum?
A: Yes - we have our own Discord channel, but it's currently not available to the public. We plan to open it after the trial release, though.
Q: Can you show any actual proof that you're translating the game, aka images and stuff?
A: Whenever we can, for now I'll just say that it's something in progress.
Q: Can I donate to you?
A: Better buy the game, when the translation's out.
Q: Will you release a style guide (aka whether "we're taking out honorifics or not", let's get real)?
A: Yes, but once the project is nearer to completion.

We have an important update!
Our first trailer is finally available!
Also we decided to start a Kickstarter campaign feel free to check it out!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2044603064/lisistrata
 

I don't even know where to begin with this post. It's a new user, who wants to start no less than 7 translation projects, writes nothing about an existing team (is there any?) and the list of positions is copy pasted from anime or manga, which completely disregards that VN translations work differently. In other words this is just a wishlist for titles other people should pick up made by somebody who has no insights in how VNs are translated.
But wait, the fun doesn't end there. The list includes Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o titles, a series Mangagamer is in progress of releasing, meaning if anybody starts on those, MG will likely not be too happy about it.
The aura of professionalism doesn't end there. Nothing is written about those titles and there aren't even links or anything. We will have to do our own research to figure out what they are even about. Also out of the 3 links in the profile, two of them are dead and the third goes to what looks like an empty profile.
 
I guess now it's time to lean back and grab the popcorn.

I did come to Fuwa because I was unhappy with HongFire for many reasons (it was even better back then than it is today). It looks like I made the right choice because eventually I found @Happiness+ here

Alright, let's try to keep things on topic.

Generally sensible individual. Somewhat humorous, refined writing style that I appreciate. Quality avatar, as opposed to animegirl#28291.jpg. Sometimes a bit cocksure, but not egregiously so. Questionable taste in visual novels relative to mine. Ostensibly experienced with VN translations, but I don't know enough to conclude that. 
Overall, not yet enough information for me to form a complete opinion. Keep posting here on Fuwanovel. We will be watching.

I was more thinking like "don't let these crotchety old guard fools discourage you". I know I might be sounding quite harsh, but I try to be helpful and objective. I know people would would be a whole lot harsher than I am regarding a post like this.
It's kind of weird reading a description about myself like this. I'm not sure I like the word cocksure as I tend to view it negatively. If I'm sure about something, it's either experience talking or objective facts. I don't think of it negatively to make strong statements if they are statements, which are most certain, like "water is wet".
The hardest thing about being project manager for the Musumaker translation is the great difference between what is in the VN and what people think is in the VN. The thing people assume it to be is something I wouldn't work on. It does have dark moments, but not as dark as a number of other VNs.
I'm being stalked

I was wondering the same thing. I don't think so, but I still won't rule it out. I have yet to see a translation project where somebody else will pay for your copy of the VN if you join.
If it is a scam, it would appear to nearly have worked here
And what do you think about me
