  1. Browsing the thread some people were looking to help out. Did anyone have any luck reaching out?

     

    Takajun has vanished from the face of the earth. But a TL from here is working on completing Miyako. It's just unclear if he'll do the rest of the game as well. Would be nice if someone who actually knows him could ask.

  2. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say it has something to do with 'not being worth the developers time to spend manpower helping with a localisation when it sells 500 copies as 30 bucks a pop, when they can spend their time working on their next game which will sell 20-30k at 100 bucks a pop in the local market.' Thus the expensive localisation fees.

     

    That doesn't really seem like a good reason, since most/all of the work falls to the company that licensed it, not the original producer/developer. And for a lot of VNs, you can take the (partial) fan TLs, quickly QC the finished ones and/or finish the partials and throw them on the market for digital sales. Quick, cheap, and almost guaranteed to turn a profit, even if it isn't a huge one.

  3. well as far as i can tell huge VN like Majikoi (over 40 hours of gameplay) are alwasys translated very slowly. some are translated for 10 years.

     

    progres on Majikoi was actualy very fast untill ofc it was dropped.

     

    I'd rather not wait 10 years to read miyako. D: Not to mention there are still two more A-x games to come out that will need TLing.

  4. A quick update for you guys.

    The translator has gone missing, indeed we haven't heard anything about him since more than two weeks.

    Maybe something happened something to him IRL or maybe he caught a flu or something but he completely disappeared.^^

    But don't worry, he'll probably be back soon and if he's not, I had discussed with other translators in the past and we'll find a way. :P

    For now let's wait, maybe he'll come back, I'm just telling that there's no progress at the moment.

     

    Created an account just so that I could publicly weep. This is how projects die.  :(
