  1. Fata Morgana

    While it has Mystery and a bit of horror in a form of emotional dread, It Leans a bit more into the Theme of Love and Tragedy, and no, not "love" as in those cushy whimsy stereotypical romance anime, but more of a Realism and Historically accurate type, Try to play it Blind since it got a lot of twist and turns especially in the second half, and if you like it you could then play the Prequel "Requiem" for more emotional dread.

    Plus the Music Is phenomenal too, since most of it got this angelic vocal track in it, but just bear the first chapter tho since it sometimes got this annoying static noises in the music, it intends to make you uneasy but it sounds just annoying to me.

    9/10  Will definitely make you Emotional If not Crying

    but considering the massive backlash that Daybreak got because of the typo in Mizuha's route, perhaps it would be better doing QC first before the release just in case

    Lol I'm not really that familiar with the VN Community, But man, I don't know they can be so rabid over a bunch of typo's coming from an unpaid labour of fan translation, no wonder our guy has lost it's motivation here, and I'm not trying to act all high and mighty, but when a VN devs refuse to play ball with the English release, I'd still be grateful if some devoted fans tries or even attempt to translate it, because from what I've seen, Localizing a VN Is a whole lot harder than I and many others have thought.

    And to be honest I thought The reason why Eustia's translation team took so long trying to aim for this perfectionism is because they're trying to cater into Mangagamer to pick this translation up, make it official, and hopefully compensate the entire team who works on it, Just like Geofront

    So, as of this post, the TLC is finally 100% complete. Yes, finally haha. So sorry for the very long delay, but with my new job and all as mentioned before and some lack of motivation, I haven't had much time for TLC. But now, with the TLC complete, we can finally almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    So what does this mean? Of course, it's still not quite done yet because we have 1 more stage to go through: the QC. This one, I won't be able to tell the estimated time this will be done, but hopefully it can be completed by this year so we can finally release this patch to the public.

    Once again, thank you all for those who are still sticking around. We're almost there!

    I'm on the edge of my seat, both ass cheeks clenches intensely... just one more push bois, and this Long Journey will soon come to a close...

     

    Jokes Aside I really Appreciate your work, tackling this gargantuan project out of nothing but the drive of passion is simply something that ppl should always be proud of and appreciate.

    Though Can't help but to wonder, What is the process of QC? It's not gonna be as long or as tedious as the TLC part right?

    All the positive guys need to understand the other perspective as well. Many many projects have failed as can be seen on this forum. You need to understand that a public announcement like this carries consequences and some responsibility (if you don't wanna get criticized) - people can get mad even if it is a passion project, after all something has been announced and in a way promised. Keep in mind this has been in translation since 2017 and is still not out. OP hadn't posted in the thread for a full year. New people can come in and see that seemingly nothing has been happening recently and ask questions. There is nothing wrong with some argumented criticism and some people are more pessimistic which in my opinion is fine. Coupled that there was no communication for a while and suddenly very slow progress + the reddit comment I think it was not too far fetched to cast some doubt at the time.

     

    To the negative guys: Now is it somewhat of an jerk thing to come in and declare the project dead and spread panic so to say after not too much time has passed since the last progress update, yeah it might be. And after all it is a passion project - we are not owed anything and as pessimists you should understand that this TL patch might never come out at all considering all the abandoned projects. Considering we've already gotten a partial patch and progress has been ongoing for years, a sudden cancellation seems somewhat unlikely. Considering his years long engagement I think the main translator would tell us if he suddenly decided to stop the project if he had the opportunity to. Also progress never truly stopped, it just became very slow.

     

    At the end of the day what we need is communication between the TL team and the forum here so stuff like this doesn't happen. When progress almost crawls to a halt and nothing has been posted it's obvious some people will feel uneasy after checking the thread for a few years now. I feel like both sides had something to say but neither is completely right. Just blindly believing it will come out no matter what(this seems to me naive or at least too positive, after all people have expectations and projects often fail, and this is a discussion board + the happy-go-lucky attitude doesn't go with a lot of people) or declaring the project dead(which I wasn't convinced at all at the time - there was progress made, just very slow so it was an active project and just sayings it's dead is false and can confuse new people) is no good.

    Couldn't have agreed more!

    It would be unfortunate to me and many others if this projects happens to be cancelled, and I can't blame if some people gone on their way to be mad about it, (since they were given a false hope and all that), but like you said if that ever happens the OP's could only have themselves to blame, since they're the ones who sets up expectation,

    and maybe the reason why i'm being a bit too positive is because the project is 90% done, i personally don't mind that much if they ever cancel it because i can tolerate the 10% with mtl,, that is if the OP decides to release the rest of the patch when cancelling.... it's either that, or maybe i've been seeing too many big game company being greedy to the point where passion project like these really restore my faith in humanity.

    Also It's perfectly fine for people to be sussy wussy and even negative towards a passion projects, but I personally think it's better to be in the middle ground, maybe lean into the positive side a bit , because if we're being realistically positive here, we don't lose anything if a fan projects were cancelled (exept for feeling dissapointed) and the only people who's losing something is the TL team, i don't mean to sound mushy here, but they sacrifice their free times to put out their works (albeit unfinished) just to get possibly trashed because of it,, even tho they chose to do this to themselves and even if the project were cancelled halfway through, i think we should still be grateful with the effort that they put out... in short, beggars cant be choosers

    But i whole heartedly agree that communication is the key, transparency is good to get the hypes and hopes going, a simple spreadsheet could only do so much, the best example i could think of a fan TL with great communication is The GeofrontTeam, from what i seen, they fan localize falcom games, changing and translating the game texture, adding  extra stuff like full hd support, chest messages, etc,,

    but most important of all is how transparent they are with their project, in their website they write blogs about the progress and future plans (To keep the audience in touch, and push themselves to be more organized), sometimes they even do qna, shows the ins and out of localizing the game (So the audience could relate on how much of a giant task localizing is, and then hopefully turn that relatability, into patience and understanding), they also make injoke memes to simply chill and enjoying the process, etc.  

    hope im making sense lol, tho again, we all want the best for this project, so why don't we give it one.

    Didn't realize there was so much discussion here, so I thought I would come here to clarify things.

     

    The TLC for Eustia is 100% done. I would know since I completed it! The reason why the spreadsheet does not match what I'm saying is simple: I don't have editing control of the spreadsheet. As of right now, what's being done is programming and QC, and the TLC progress on the spreadsheet more accurately reflects the programming percentage as opposed to the TLC percentage. 

     

    Once programming is done, then we'll move onto the final round of QC. From there, Eustia should be complete. As for any timeline, there is none and work is being done slowly but it's by no means dead. However, it is not something you should expect anytime soon, hence my "Spring 2023" comment, as it's a way to temper people's expectations (and I realistically don't expect it to be done until then anyways unless something drastic happens in either direction).  

     

    Hope I cleared things up! 

    That kinda explains why the progress is slow, I know nothing of translation process, but i imagine that tlc couldn't take this long to finish, but as it turns out the spreadsheet was inaccurate, best of luck for you guys

    This is a discussion board. What needs to happen is for you to accept that others have different views and outlook for things. Your constant replies in annoyance is as much of a derailment as anything else as it continues these discussions instead of having them end in one post.  Circlejerking and enforced positivity  with no place for scrutiny has no place anywhere. You're free to disagree as this is a discussion board :) We've seen similar delays and issues before release multiple times before. Astral air, clover day's, Irotoridori no Sekai and probably lots more. All ended up looking for funding and astral air seemed to be short on luck and stuck in limbo. 

    I'm not negative without any reason. I'm just wary based on trends i've observed. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me and all that. Nothing would be better than this being released as i do really want to read it.

    Hey man, glad someone's being transparent here, but correct me if i'm wrong, i think what shaun trying to imply here is acting negatively towards a passion project like that could have an effect on the project it self, remember that people work on this with no money in mind, that means they're driven solely by passion and to put pressure and being negative like that could turn that passion into stress, making them question themselves "Why are we still here?.. Just to suffer" and starts asking for cash like you said (because their passion is gone and need to be replaced by money)

    But this is all just a speculation of mine, since i've experience the same thing albeit not in translating a vn, I mean I could clearly see myself also acting negatively if they're getting paid for this or if this is a product they're trying to sell, but it's not.

    Again it's always refreshing to see a new take on the projects, but i just want to let you know that something as simple as a word could carry some weight and consequences

    tbh im very new to this vn community and this is my first and only fan tl project i followed, so feel free for anyone to berate me for my ignorant take on this matter lol

  7. My experience with premiere pro was weird one, somtimes it works wonders, sometimes it's buggy as hell and crashes,

    Somehow everytime it crash, it always at the most vital moment, luckily auto save exist (But it's not really reliable since sometimes the save point throws you way back in the project, reseting a huge chunk of your work.

    Never tried vegas but heard it's good,

    so my answer is pick whichever you want, both software do their job excellently, and remember that good result it's up to your talent in editing, not the tools you're using.

  8. Yeah people should realize that these kind of fan translation is made out of nothing but passion, Translating and editing thousands of lines is quite difficult and time consuming,

    so for some people to dedicate their free time into doing something this productive is really something to be admired.

    Plus they aren't getting paid for their work hence why the only thing that drives them is their love for the game and the desire for illiterate ppl like us to experience it.

    We just simply have to learn to be grateful in life for things that are able to exist...... like this project lel

    Ooh, I just read Eustia for the first time recently, so I'm equipped to answer this!

    Senmomo is decidedly not as dark as Eustia. It's certainly dark at times, but that pallor of gloom you're thinking of lets up every so often. The high school is certainly a setting, but not the main one. The worst it gets is the beach segment in Chapter 3 and a few of the side stories.

    One big difference between the two games is the characterization of the heroines. Eustia develops its heroines well as characters, but puts little emphasis on making them lovable to the player (besides, of course, my wife Irene). Senmomo, on the other hand, balances these two goals. So it won't give you anything as poignant and fascinating as the complex relationship between Saint Irene and Lavria, but you'll likely feel more emotion during their big moments. I did, at least.

    Oh, and I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked Senmomo's ending better.

    Big Oofers

    it's a bit of a shame tho, since eustia's settings felt so original and fresh, seeing the writers revert back into your generic high school settings is a bit of a letdown, I just hope that the fan service isn't as excessive as your typical romance anime, because I'm not really tolerant on that kind of stuff 

    Even so, i think the story will still be good since it's written by the same writers as eustia

    But you know what quality that the devs still retain consistently? THE MUSIC, Even though I haven't played this game yet, I've listened to the songs and ost, and god damn is it good, the music in both games really captures the aesthetics of the settings perfectly, like screw the sex scenes, the music gave me an orgasm that can be heard across the neighborhood.

    But most importantly tho, good luck on this project, someone who do work out of nothing but pure passion that drive them is always inspiring, it made me want to contribute to that act of generosity one day.

    anyway imma just wait here like a good little boi now

    You are not alone mate, I found this thread when I first started University. Now I'm done and still haven't got the full game to play xD.

    Lol same here mate, i've made this account when i was in highschool, now i'm in college, and boy my hype and hope for this project still haven't fade, which is rare for me since i'm always losing interest about something in a few months, 

    i still have a good grip on the hopes that this project will be finished one day, and i'll keep waiting, like a child waiting for his dad who went out to buy a milk

    Say you willing to bet which fan translation will go out first between this one and other august game senmomo?
