Ignore it if you don't want to know. 
 



 
Don't worry, I still able to do my job or at least finish my part.

Nah, I was kidding.
 
Real update is at our site and we just pass 50% TL mark.

It's been a bit of a bumpy ride, but thanks to our new translator progress for the common route has finally reached 100%. Over the next month or two extensive TLC, editing, and quality checking will be going on in order to ensure the common route patch that we release is up to par with our standards.
 
Just as a reminder, progress is tracked on the website for the project and is updated every week or so.

Last week ESL Frankfurt was epic. Techies picked on by Secret and the entire crowd goes wild. Better than TI4  

Kenseiki Alpha Ride (VNDB, Getchu, Official site)
Genre: SRPG
 

 
This game is by Eternal-Will, the makers of Yumina the Ethereal.  There's a fair chance this game could see an English release if people pester JAST USA for it.
 

Sorry for double post.
 
I'm tired to do this now, I guess this is why NeroDragon12 put an update monthly.
 
Last check with 3 translators' activity:
- Ayari: The latest activity was 30 May.
- Eclair: The latest activity was 17 Feb. (Technically M.I.A.)
- Ririko: (￣。￣)～ｚｚｚ
 
PS: Just a normal progress update.

I made it anyway. Not really sure if it's for the better or worse though.



You can just count this one as a bonus or something~

Definitely didn't turn out as good as I expected. The face is too sharp and the font is kinda meh. I can do it all over again from the start if you want. I can at least do that much if it's for the best girl!

Ignore this if you don't want to read my rant, again. 
 


 
 
Okay, I'm feel better now. (─‿‿─)

We never found this to be a problem, even if ideally it'd be better for the reader to think about the question itself, testing each answer is a completely fine method of resolution as well!

On another topic, it's probably time for an update about the current progress.
Concerning the writing, even though you can't really see it yet, the whole common route has been finally drafted (it will require a lot of rewriting and editing before it is final though). The wordcount of common route can be estimated to 150 000 words (there might be more when the common route gets finalized).
I don't have any estimate for the release of the whole common route as a demo, so don't ask me!^^
 
Other than that, we've been working a lot on lore building, and heroine routes. And I've been realizing lately that common route is merely only a pebble in the grand scheme of things. Maybe we should rename this common route to "prologue"? Anyway, I think it would definitely fit. I'm more considering common route as an introductory story on its own. And even if the 4/5 first days might currently make you feel that this common route is your typical comedy oriented / non plot focused common route, it is actually not the case. But I'll let you discover that in time!
 
Concerning the art department, things have been somehow reaching a stalemate lately, mostly because of exams. Things should go back to normal during summer, I hope.
I do have to admit that we're having a lot of problems with composers. It's not always an easy thing to convince people to participate in your project for free, and it's natural that people end up leaving or stop involving themselves because they are not that interested. Some of you might have noticed that the music in Lucid9 is not exactly very consistent. The reason being that the whole current OST have been produced by 4 different composers so far (some of them left, so they had to be replaced, but their replacement left again...). So it has been (and it still is) a real headache for me. (//end of ranting time)
 
The area that made the most progress those last few weeks is unmistakably the engine.  The cloudnovel engine is constantly being improved! For example, you can now finally save and load your progress through the use of a link (built-in save function is planned as well, but not in the works currently). you can also find a skip and previous button while playing the demo. Or maybe you've noticed those new animations that I've been progressively adding on the demo, that use easing, making the movement animations of the camera and the sprites much, much smoother (No more "linear only" animations). There are also tons of new features from the creator side that have been added, and that make working and creating our demo on cloudnovel such a breeze, but it probably won't interest you (and I will talk about those in a cloudnovel dedicated topic that I will create in the near future I believe).
 
Concerning the day 5 segment of the demo that will be released (let's call this demo 2.1), I hope to be able to implement it and release it during July. No promises though, as usual. Day 5 is mostly the climax / peak of the "enjoyable school life" part of the demo, having the whole cast interact as a group between each other (which creates some very interesting and sometimes rather... hilarious combinations and situations). For those who are wanting the pace to pick up, our apologies in advance, it will not be for demo 2.1. But don't worry, the rest of common route should meet your expectations!
 
TL;DR : It depends on the area, but overall, progress is being made! Stay tuned, and don't hesitate to comment on this thread! (And for those who haven't yet, make sure to play the demo 2.0!)

Progress Update Week #45
 

 
I had intended to pass the 5k line, but uni decided to put a spoke in my wheel. Expect me to finish Ann until Week #49 at the latest.

When the lady driving the car told me "You could've just bought a new dog!", I replied "It's fine. Mama could've just made a new kid." 
 
I felt pretty cool saying that with 10.

Speaking of color, I just found out about this site today.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to find a good color that compliments each others very well but isn't really good at color and stuff (like me ).

So, I didn't see Nosebleed's and Rose's reply until I was halfway through. So I decided to just finish the thing instead.
Kinda expected more than this. I'm not sure if the flowers fit in this situation.
 

Here's a new wordpress website that I have set up for this project that will host all future posts and patches for this project. I'll be updating some of the pages in upcoming days and also update the progress in its respective page. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the previous website but it'll have to do under the current circumstances. Rest assured, the project will continue as long as I have another translator to work with... or until I'm the last man standing.
 
I'll put up the first post tomorrow, merely as a formality, but I'll be sure to update it whenever there's been any worthwhile progress to report. I'll also put up a post every month in order to notify people of the status of the team/project. It's become clear to me that another translator is needed in order to ensure efficient progress is made, so I'll be working with that goal in mind for the next couple of weeks.
 
Without further ado, here's the link for the new website.

Yup, definitely my poop.

Not sure if it looks good. I ended up experimenting with a lot of stuff rather than doing the usual things I do.
Please tell me if you are not satisfied/want something to be changed.

How very convenient.
I was thinking about making my own little deserted signature thread for quite a long time now. But then I think making the thread itself would be too much of a hassle for me.
This thread solves the problem pretty well.
 
I will probably take one of the requests when I'm not lazy.
 
Here are some example of my previous work so people can expect how bad the result will be.
Please be gentle, senpai.
