I know it's been a while since the video been posted, but since no one responded I wanted to write a few lines.
After watching the first hour my hype for Tokyo Necro has definitely increased further. While zombies are not really my favorite theme, the setting and the atmosphere manages to capture my interest no problem. Half ruined Tokyo only kept alive with those hot pipes, while the world outside sinks in snow is an interesting backdrop. But even the hotel of the first scene managed to bring a unique (and memorable) style with Balinese inspired interior. I also liked the protagonist duo and the distinct way they are portrayed in the prologue. Those ingame rendered cut scenes are also quite interesting. While they don't look as pretty as drawn CGs, they obviously bring a lot more dynamic and action to the table. (Like cut scenes in other videogames basically.) The combination of both certainly is promising. I would say Tokyo Necro leaves a pretty good first impression.

As for your work, I am certainly not the most qualified to give an opinion since my understanding of Japanese very minimal at best and English is not my native language, but as far as I am concerned it looks pretty good. Sure there are some errors and typos here and there but that is to be expected without and editor, and everything was perfectly readable and understandable. My biggest complain would probably be the orange highlighted text. While I liked the color, those passages been somewhat blurry and harder to read, but I don't know if that is a problem with the Video (processing) or maybe even a problem on my end.
I hope you are still motivated for your project, because I would love to read the whole think one day. =)

 

I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo. Thank you!

Still evaluating some English editors, but will post an update about it soon.

A couple of issues:

1 - Apparently, JAST guards its Nitro+ license like a lion guards its food (which it probably didn't kill. The lazy beast.) It may get C&D'd

2 - Apparently the engine is a bitch to hack. Not so much like trying to thread a needle, but rather trying to thread a pin. With your feet. While blindfolded.

Otherwise I've been looking forward to reading this game ... before Clephas told me how dark it was, then I was kinda turned off  

Good luck  

I'm not really the type of person that likes pending on thin ice for this kind of thing, which basically means I've already covered the hacking issue, hence why I even announced a translation for it.
Well, I did also write it in the post, there's no issues on that end.

About JAST, well, I did also consider that option. For now I'll just tell you that we can only wait and see what happens.

The game is less dark than what you'd expect actually, so I recommend you check it out if this gets completed. Thanks for your support too!

Wanted to say the same thing.  If you'll turn to JAST to translate it, your translation will probably see the daylight in 2025. If they even can get license. I honestly doubt it, with how things are going recently. Shiny Days release, bug on a bug on a bug. Fixed after months. Flowers delayed and with bad translation. Sumaga/Django in works for years. You might try hit them up, but I doubt it will be fruitful.

God luck if you somehow decide to continue, videos looks amazing.

Same thing regarding that up there, we'll see what happens.
Glad you liked the videos, thank you.
