Dracu-Riot! Completion Project
Project Info:
As i said in a previous post, if the Dracu-Riot scripts were released, I will translate Miu's route, and that's exactly what I'm announcing in this thread.
But I'm not alone in this crusade, I've partnered with the wonderful people at The Oxford Comma is Superior Subs so we can deliver the best possible final product and lay the Dracu-Riot memes to rest. We also got several people from the Fuwanovel community to help speed up things even more.
How is the project going to go down, you ask. Well you can read this post if you want detailed info, but the tl;dr version is that we are aiming to release multiple patches.
The first patch aims to translate the remainder of Miu's route as well as any remaining untranslated content (images, menus, etc.) with complete editing to polish the current patch.
We are going to try and release this in about 2 months, if everything goes according to plan.
The second patch is meant to be more heavily translation checked as that's when Fiddle has enough free time to go over the whole game.
There is no ETA for this second patch.
This doesn't mean the first patch will be terrible, we will of course strive for a good product, but we would still like to inform you of our schedule. If we waited for Fiddle to be completely free, it would take much more time to release Miu's route, and so we've decided to do it this way.
I hope you look forward to future updates.
FAQ:
Why not just make a Miu partial patch, why do you want to go over the whole game?
There are actually 3 main reasons for this:
The first and biggest one is that Insem's patch only works with the physical version of Dracu-Riot! which is very hard to get in the West and we want to make a new patch that works on both the physical and digital versions of the game, this way people can purchase the digital version and patch it, thus supporting Yuzusoft. The second one is that we want to americanize the writing style as well as make sure everything is edited properly, because Insem didn't have time to finish the whole thing. The last one is translation checking. Although we don't doubt Insem's abilities, we really want to try and make sure the translation is accurate. We also want to include translation notes in the game. Only 2 months? That seems way too fast.
2 months is indeed fast, if we were translating the entire game, but we're actually only translating about 4,000 lines and we're splitting those lines between two main translators, this will hopefully make that 2 month deadline possible.
Please do note we will not jeopardize translation quality for the sake of reaching the deadline. If we can not make it in time, we will delay the release until we're satisfied with the end result.
Will the translation have memes?
Yes, but only the dankest ones.
Why aren't The Oxford Comma people making the announcement here?
So I can get those sweet, sweet internet points.
I want to help!
Contact @Fiddle and beat him in a pipe bag showdown (plaid skirt is mandatory).

I've finally reached 10% of the translation progress! But because i didn't have time to see the exact number of lines on each route i've written the progress on how much scripts i've done. 
It doesn't mean much but thank you for the comments about before the first script, i must admit that i was in a rush making it cause i wanted to get fast to the story, but due to your responses i've decided that i should retranslate it. It's the only one i had the time to do so though.
On the other hand i've done huge progress on the common route and i must admit that this vn is certainly unique and has some really hilarious scenes that you won't find anywhere else. I'll try to post the progress i do like this after two or three weeks of work to keep you all informed of my work and don't worry about the translation, it's really accurate but i would get an editor just in case much later on
 
 

Blizzard finally contacted me after 2 months yesterday - said he is getting an update from other translators as well as looking for new ones. 

Thanks!

Try watching some of this: http://www.gamingcx.com/

I'll try to get an update from Blizzard. Thankfully, the rest of the team is fairly autonomous so progress is still being made

Here you go - low quality pictures I took with my phone. This is a very small portion given that the book is 160+ pages. Please ignore the cat/tail that got curious on some pages

TL;DR: Original company is going to make or support a Kickstarter soon to localize the Muv-Luv series due to the huge support they have been getting over the years (globally). If this is going to happen under the name of the original Japanese company, it'll make a pretty great example/precedent for other companies to follow through on instead of making dubious quality partnerships

Awesome find the subs are abit off, but they express the gist of if.
 
It's interesting to hear the thoughts of such a person when it comes to worldwide distribution (sigh, legal and moral walls indeed - wish I was american sometimes), and to point out ratings on sites like Vndb. Obviously some sales pitch going on, but I can sense the sincerity in his voice as well, I respect people like him.

Down again : (. Everything ok?
 
PM me if you need some help, ok?

If you do this to Hinata, I will literally murder you and your entire project.

I think Japan just rekt USA before the fight even happened.

You too can build Japan's robot by buying a starter kit on Amazon.jp! (It only costs 978,000 USD)
 
P.S. The questions and answers, as well as the reviews, are pretty funny.
