Welcome to the forums!
 
I'm surprised to see that you don't possess Canadian blood even though you live in Canada.
It's not weird though.
Do enjoy your time here!

Don't forget TiagxOurai!

Normally, I don't bump the thread every time we update the current translation status, but I thought it was worth noting that our Hinata translator recently returned from hiatus and since then the translation progress of Hinata's route has jumped 20% (~2,000 lines) over the course of just one week. I know there's at least one person on this forum who will be happy to hear about that.

Here's the background for this project. Feel free to add Majikoi and Fate discussions, along with some enough plenty hentai.
 

I didn't watch it because I was Grade 6 back then and nipples scared me.

You can't change the name of the thread, as far as I'm concerned.
Only the mods can do that.
 
Btw, if you want to make a PS3/PS4/Whatever list, you can compile them in your opening post to prevent multiple threads.
But as far as I'm concerned, PSN accounts correspond to all these consoles.
Or I'm just wrong.

Many people are new to it heh.
Just do your best~

Don't worry. Notifying the translator about errors and stuff are typically okay. I just told you that they'll eventually go over those lines and edit the mistakes, so don't worry.
 
But I guess telling you those things are their job or smth.

KosakiFag's my username in PSN as well.
However, I don't have a wifi source, so I can't add you people up.
Sucks.
 
Go add me if you want to. <3

Translated 250 lines today. Now I sleep.

Happy birthday, jabber.
May Christmastown forever live in your heart!

I will complete all routes even if the first route I landed on seems to defy expectations and at first glance seems without flaw. At the every least I owe it to the characters (and also the writer) to see it through to the end in order to understand their story and watch the journey unfold, for good or bad. I have yet to drop a VN, so I can't really say for certain that I would never abandon a VN due to how a atrocious a character was or simply if the story was unappealing. My allegiance is to the story. If the characters grow on me, then that's also a good thing and something that will make the entire package that much more memorable.
 
I wouldn't say that my preferences lean toward the 2D side of the spectrum. I certainly find myself taking more of the escapist route when I read stories due to the monotony of daily life, but at the end of the day fiction remains fiction and I return to this side of reality. I take whatever I can from VNs. It can be as simple as a theme or a lesson that I enjoyed. I either apply it toward my own writing, or I carry it with as I analyze the world around me.
 
I suppose the line between reader and protagonist may become somewhat blurred as the story moves along, but I'm usually able to reign my emotions in until the end of the story. It's only natural to become attached to characters whose journey I've followed for over 30-50 hours but there comes a point when one must let go. I relish every moment I have in their world, but know that all good things come to an end. I understand that I can only take a sliver of that world with me.

Suzuha's Route begins!
 

Editing and TLC'll probably take a long time I'll probably also be less inclined to be as proactive for a few weeks after I finish translation. 
 
I'd look optimistically for a summer release. 

Update 31/12:
Miyako QC at 33%
 
Last update of this year. I'm no good at speeches, but on behalf of the team, thank you all for the support you've shown us this last year! It's sad that Majikoi will not be finished this year, but the way things are looking, it seems 2015 will be the Year of Majikoi!
Thank you all, and please continue supporting us for another year.
Happy new years, and Merry Majikoi!
 
Oliver, out.

Fufufu. Time to unleash my ultimate power. I would have posted this earlier, but I wanted to wait until the last day of the contest so that people wouldn't be disinclined to enter because of how hopeless their chances of winning would be.
 
I present to you...
 
THE CHRISTMAS BANANA.
 

 
Why is it Christmasy? First off, one might notice that it has "Christmas" written on it. Furthermore, the keen of mind might also realize that this word is written in red, a color associated with this particular season. Perhaps it is also worth mentioning that I got a bunch of bananas for Christmas but forgot how quickly they expire, so I needed to waste use all of them quickly, and making the most of what one has is well within the holiday spirit.
 
Mind the scribbles I used to get the red pen working. -_-

so much for trying to a download for the adult version of neko para, nowhere to pay with paypal.
geuss i will just buy it of steam now and download it illigally later.

What the heck man.

One thing that I've consistently noticed about around ninety percent of the VNs I've played is that they tend to be personal stories, even when they are large in scale or not overly focused on the characters.  A protagonist, a heroine, a villain develops on a personal level, the story flowing through their point of view, effecting their way of seeing the world, altering how the world effects them. 
 
VNs where the events are not intensely personal to the characters or where there is no specific protagonist are rare, and this at least partly because of the fact that VN narration is almost never carried out by a third-party uninvolved or only peripherally involved with events.  This is contrast to the tendency in modern novels for a story to be filtered through dozens of different, almost 'disposable' points of view (ie: Game of Thrones, Malazan book of the Fallen) that contrasts with that preference.
 
This is a function of the way the medium works, at least from what I can see.  The habits and conventions of VNs include the protagonist not possessing a tachie and the protagonist being the narrator, at least part of the time.  Multiple points of view share a similar tendency, with each point of view having an individual, similarly limited point of view in the narration.
 
In my mind, this actually shows that VNs have a potential to evolve far beyond their current uses.  It gives me hope that VNs will one day take their place as a true unique medium for storytelling, rather than a completely niche branch of video-gaming with an overwhelming tendency to possess gratuitous sexual content. 
 
At the same time, I'll probably be one of those resisting change until I get swept away by a particularly awesome epic story, lol. 
 
I want to see VNs evolve, but I am particularly unsuited to helping them do so, due to my long experience with the medium.  In other words, I'm too deep into the medium to see it properly from a near-outsider's perspective, except hypothetically. 
 
This is more of a message to those would write OELVNs than anything else.  I want to encourage yall to break the boundaries created by the Japanese example, while keeping the elements that made the medium so attractive for us.  There are things that the Japanese just don't do as well as Westerners, and I'd like to see those concepts, themes, and ideas creeping into this medium to make it of an even greater scale here than it is in Japan someday.
 
Sincerely,
Clephas

Well you've got a day people.  As for the two people who did anything, I'd start picking your items because the odds are highly in your favor. 

This is probably the best ending I've ever seen.

Comiket 87 is tomorrow for me, the 3rd and final day. Big episode will be coming by the end of the week once editing and everything else is finished!

I guess it'll be finished before February 14.
