    Quite a twisted GL VN I would say, then again it's from Izumi Banya so I guess it's expected. I don't have much word other than good luck to the project and hopefully it'll be successful.

    Wow, I never thought anyone would translate this title due its content but I'm happy you're translating! I read it using machine translation, I'll gladly re-read the VN with your translation ❤

    Hi everyone, I'm yumi from pantsudev and we're working on a translation of the 2019 adult visual novel
    True Love's Lily Dyes Red
    真愛の百合は赤く染まる
    Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru

    Team: pantsudev - Discord - Homepage - Twitter
    Lead: @yumi
    Translators: yumi, @LuckyDaikon
    Editors: yumi, @nihilloligasan, girlrituals, Beau
    Programmer: yumi
    Contributors: @Zakamutt, @Funnerific

    Ex-members: BlackBane91 (TL), @aho (ED)
    Background
    The work started sometime in the spring of 2020, mostly due to happenstance. I was bored and started hacking around this nifty new VN I'd found.
    I developed my own tools and launcher/loader and started translating. Once it began to look somewhat promising,
    I announced my lone work here so that others wouldn't accidentally end up duplicating my efforts.
    Current State
    Since the start of the project, I've been fortunate to meet some fantastic, nice and helpful friends who've certainly helped take the project to another level. Progress has been sometimes sporadic, sometimes steadfast, yet always inevitable. I'm a busy person, but never abandon my projects.
    Last year (2021) was a bit quiet, but this year (2022) we've been happy to recruit THREE new awesome editors, and really picked up the pace again.
    I created custom collaboration tools that allow the others to work on the project without my involvement at all, greatly improving efficiency.
    A web-based translation editor allows everyone to translate, edit and comment on all the content in the game comfortably,
    and a custom app allows everyone to synchronize the latest changes from the shared web editor directly into the game on their computer.

    Still here, still going. You'd better believe it. Join our Discord. However:
    It seems that we'll now be recruiting one (1) capable extra-/emergency translator!
    We're no longer recruiting for new members. Thank you for your interest!
    2022-05-25: Situation update!
    We're no longer recruiting editors.
    Thanks for your interest, and a warm welcome to nihilloligasan, girlrituals & Beau who recently joined the team!
    As an interesting aside, with aho and BlackBane91 having retired from the project last year, we're now a team of 5 girls.
    I swear it wasn't intentional. But slightly interesting, huh?
    2022-05-25: Situation update!
    The project is roughly 50% done now - and we've doubled the translated line count within the last 5 months alone!
    The new TL & edit tools make for a much faster workflow, and all the programming and UI work is also pretty much done.
    Therefore I feel confident in stating that we're now moving at a much faster pace than at any point before.
    It's not going to take two more years.
    What else? Well, our previous YouTube account got nuked; you can subscribe to the new one here.

    This sounds good! I don't mind a darker look into yuri romance/love stories once in a while, lol ^^ I mean, I did look at the CGs on hitomi, but the quality of visuals is high, so I wouldn't mind a fan translation! So keep up the good work!

  11. Thanks
    yumi reacted to Tay in Meta - Fall 2020 Site Chat   
    Hi everybody. My name is Tay. I’m the site admin, and I’m writing this post to share a few thoughts and to apologize for what has been a very difficult period for the site (and many of us in the real world, myself included). Please note that I am actively working on the site today (01:26 update: currently waiting on Nayleen’s help on a mysql issue that I don’t know how to solve) and will be available in this thread and on Discord throughout the day.
     
    Why did you disappear?
    I was overwhelmed by real-world responsibilities and the real-world issues affecting the site. I feel deeply that it’s my responsibility to keep an appropriate baseline amount of support (server, forums fees, forums UI theme subscriptions, front site plugin subscriptions), and have mostly done so, but not being here in a full, active manner means that I was unaware of even large issues, such as Invision losing my auto-pay details. I feel really bad, guys. I'm sorry.
     
    Why didn’t you more proactively pass along the keys to other community members instead of just ghosting us?
    Dropping torrents caused hundreds of real-world issues that made a site hand-off – even partially – unconscionable until resolved. It makes me happy that they feel like an ancient memory to most of you, but they have been my lived reality for a long time. Only this summer did that chapter fully come to a close. Fuwa is in the clear, for what it’s worth, and for the first time I feel like I have options.
     
    What the &$% is going on with site/forums updates?
    I’m working to fix some issues in how I access the various databases on the server. Once that’s fixed everything will be updated and troubleshooted. It’s going to be another Fuwapocalypse. But it’s gotta be done. I give you my word that, so long as I can get @Nayleen’s help, this will be done by week’s end.
    As regards the forms, specifically, Invision, the software company who made our forums software, deleted the auto-pay credentials I’d given them and the software license lapsed for several months. It’s been renewed and everything will be updated as soon as I get Nay’s assistance and make a bunch of meticulous backups.
     
    What is your plan for Fuwanovel going forward?
    It may not be appropriate for that to be my call. I need to touch base with all the core users still active and sort out what’s best. I love Fuwanovel. It’s been a work of love spanning more than ten thousand hours (and much more than that in dollars). But my focus and passion -- help bring visual novels into the wider gaming community – has been realized.  I’ve been fortunate enough to facilitate or be part of some major, tectonic shifts in the industry. It’s a different world and I am likely not the best equipped to pick a direction. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.
    What I’m confident about, however, is that the way I went about building Fuwa, while successful, is unsustainable. Palas put it incredibly well last month:
     
    “It’s like running a business, but without, well, the business.” Perfectly said. For better or worse, I’m wholly or largely responsible for the projects he highlights: enormous and technical VNTS posts which took two people 5 or so hours to do every Friday night, an ambitious reviews hub scouring VN reviews from across the net, a VN reviews team, forums projects, etc.
    A lot of what I did on Fuwa amounted to spending ungodly amounts of time watching trends in both the industry and site traffic and building ideas around what I thought would bring interest to the community and the VN player base. It worked well: we had huge traffic and played an important role in bringing VNs out of obscurity. But the lived reality was often me researching, designing and proposing these projects, and asking others to step up and either run or contribute to them without compensation. We’d have people putting in 20 hours a week, some weeks, on top of core admin staff working 30-40 hours weekly, and it STILL wasn’t enough. Most pitched in because we liked the cause, and liked hanging out with each other, and liked the dopamine rush of user engagement. Some did it because I asked them. And some did it because they felt like they had to. I’m still working on pulling apart my feelings on this issue.
    I don’t know how to fix this part of being a fan site. I do know that it is wrong to ask so much of members without paying them. Fuwa has never made money and I was never able to pay for help. This isn’t going to change anytime soon, so any new site reality is going to have to take into account the need for a lessened human cost.
     
    Anything else you want to say?
    Tons. But that’s good for now. I’m spamming Nayleen on all the usual channels and mostly just want to get the site fully updated. We can chew on the site’s existential questions in the meantime.

    In the last few years I've linked a list of the known Visual Novel related discords I knew about. I wanted to make a new post for the new year so comments can be opened up again.
    Most of these discords should be welcome to all readers. Whether you want to read the series for the first time, or have already and just want to discuss the VNs. Just make sure to respect spoilers and any other rules the discord has.
    Only a few have been added since the 2021 list, but if I'm missing any, feel free to comment.
    If there are any notable Visual Novel related discords you want me to add to this list that I forgot or you feel should be put on here, or one of the links doesn't work, let me know.

    A web-based translation editor allows everyone to translate, edit and comment on all the content in the game comfortably,
    and a custom app allows everyone to synchronize the latest changes from the shared web editor directly into the game on their computer.

    Still here, still going. You'd better believe it. Join our Discord. However:
    It seems that we'll now be recruiting one (1) capable extra-/emergency translator!
    We're no longer recruiting for new members. Thank you for your interest!
    2022-05-25: Situation update!
    We're no longer recruiting editors.
    Thanks for your interest, and a warm welcome to nihilloligasan, girlrituals & Beau who recently joined the team!
    As an interesting aside, with aho and BlackBane91 having retired from the project last year, we're now a team of 5 girls.
    I swear it wasn't intentional. But slightly interesting, huh?
    2022-05-25: Situation update!
    The project is roughly 50% done now - and we've doubled the translated line count within the last 5 months alone!
    The new TL & edit tools make for a much faster workflow, and all the programming and UI work is also pretty much done.
    Therefore I feel confident in stating that we're now moving at a much faster pace than at any point before.
    It's not going to take two more years.
    What else? Well, our previous YouTube account got nuked; you can subscribe to the new one here.
    Our Twitter account is @pantsu_dev should you care to follow. However, we are primarily active on Discord.
    Alright, cool! Anything else?
    Feel free to let us know what you think!

    Lead: @yumi
    Translators: yumi, @LuckyDaikon
    Editors: yumi, @nihilloligasan, girlrituals, Beau

    Background
    The work started sometime in the spring of 2020, mostly due to happenstance. I was bored and started hacking around this nifty new VN I'd found.
    I developed my own tools and launcher/loader and started translating. Once it began to look somewhat promising,
    I announced my lone work here so that others wouldn't accidentally end up duplicating my efforts.
    Current State
    Since the start of the project, I've been fortunate to meet some fantastic, nice and helpful friends who've certainly helped take the project to another level. Progress has been sometimes sporadic, sometimes steadfast, yet always inevitable. I'm a busy person, but never abandon my projects.
    Last year (2021) was a bit quiet, but this year (2022) we've been happy to recruit THREE new awesome editors, and really picked up the pace again.
