    Satsuki got a reaction from Maya in Sakura, Moyu. -as the Night's, Reincarnation- Translation Project (Discontinued)   
    Only read a bit to check the quality of the translation (already finished the game long ago) and yeah, I agree that the translation is fine, but way too direct so lots of them just sounded either awkward or textbook-ish. Definitely requires some serious editing.
    Just a bit of advice from me, but rather than keeping the translation at point-blank range from the original, try to think about how you would say a sentence like that irl instead. Worked quite well for me before.

    Satsuki got a reaction from Silvz in Why Aren’t There MORE Visual Novel Translations? - A Meta Analysis   
    Joke on you, most of us fan translators do this just because we want people to be able to enjoy the same thing that we do (and spreading the VN genre blah blah...). Also, good language practice for the future.
    We don't do this in order to beg for money. Our day job can cover that just fine.

    Satsuki got a reaction from Erogamer in Why Aren’t There MORE Visual Novel Translations? - A Meta Analysis   
    Gonna be honest, I'm one of those that just have zero interest in EVN. The artstyle just doesn't fit my taste, and the content tends to be either too "americanized", or just straight up boring. The humour in particular, as an Asian weeb, all them western humour just either fly right over my head, or just seem incredibly dumb to me, like "do they really find this funny?"
    It not exactly helps that the first few EVNs that I read were Winged Cloud stuff....
    Seriously, they are still pumping out like 5-6 games every year and people are still buying their trashes, how?

    Satsuki got a reaction from Erogamer in Should these games (including several 90's FMV games) be classified/reclassified as visual novels?   
    I'm actually quite confused with your idea of "if it's an animated game made in Japan then it's a visual novel". They are allowed to make other types of the game too, you know?
    And yeah, I generally do not consider these games to be visual novel - just interactive game/movie. After all, it's a visual NOVEL, so the reading need to be the main part, not the clicking (I have tried a game of this type before - the darn thing made me pick a choice every minute or two) and listening. Other things should only play as support element that even if you remove them, the game will still work just fine. That's why kinetic novel - a type of visual novel - exists - there is no choice in the game, some don't even have voices, all you need to do is read.
    Btw, I do think that live-action and other non-traditional stuff are fine - as long as they still keep the elements mentioned above in the game.

    That goes for just about anything and everything if you don't actually enjoy/have passion about the thing you do.

    Satsuki got a reaction from Dreamysyu in VNDB changed its rating system   
    You can kinda tell how good the rating system is when that one oppai nukige get higher rating than F/SN + Little Busters and only slightly below Clannad...

    Satsuki got a reaction from Maya in Otome * Domain Traslation Project (Updated)   
    And you better hope Sekai does not take this one, because they will just put it on the shelf where they keep the titles that probably won't see the light of day for the next 5 years or more.
    Gosh, just look at their nearly 40 titles with TBA release date...

    Just in case that's what you mean, this game is not an all-ages re-relrease, but an originally all-ages VN.

    So...ugh...no offence to you, but I would like to ask, given that this is a solo project, are you confident with the quality of the final translation? I mean, 45k lines in less than 3 months is REALLY fast, and then 2 months for both editing and QCing. Most other teams would probably spend at least a year for a VN of this size.
  14. Thanks
    Satsuki reacted to Tooko in [Studio Frisay] Imasugu Onii-chan ni Imouto datte Iitai! Translation Project [Released]   
    To put it bluntly, I'm staking my reputation on this translation. I wouldn't have started such a huge project if I wasn't confident I could release a quality product, and I wouldn't release it unless I was sure of its quality. I didn't just start translating yesterday. As I mentioned in the first post above, I was a fan scanlator for manga for a little over 10 years. I am very meticulous about the translation, editing and QC process. All I can say is if you're wondering about its quality, play the game yourself once the patch is released on Friday.

    Satsuki got a reaction from sanahtlig in I'm leaving Fuwanovel, because I'm starting to realize that this community and the VN community at large has hurt me.   
    Ugh, are we having yet another discussion about 2D vs 3D again or something...?
    Is it really THAT difficult for people to keep their 2D mentality in check and not let that influence their thinking in real life? It's perfectly normal for a person to enjoy 2D loli stuff, and still want to beat the hell out of a real life pedophile.
    Also, I mean, this is pretty much like "I find people killing each other gross and disgusting, so I will just boycott the whole movie community together".
    It's perfectly normal for a person to have something they can't stomach. Doesn't mean they have to spread that hate to everything associated to it.
    I can't handle NTR. That shit disgusts me. But I still enjoy everything else that is not NTR like normal.
    It's not that people "normalized" this and that. People just learned to just, ignore things that they have no interest in and let the person be, that's all.
