Kaguya Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't know if someone already posted something like this (after searching for the keywords: dead, stopped and project I found nothing though) And I'd like to make this topic to talk about some dead projects. So, there are some really awesome VNs out there, waiting to be translated. Sadly, some times a group of people start translating one and the whole project ends up falling apart because of various reasons,- Still! Lots of people who may be interested in translating them end up not picking said title because they think someone is still translating it- just at a very slow pace, or something along those lines. I thought it would be nice to have the dead projects in an easy place to see- thus I decided to post it here. If anyone has any info about dead projects, I'd like that said person posted it here. If there is already a topic or a link for this, I'm really sorry. But I searched and found none. Kaguya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusAnon Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 VNTLS does quite a good job to track these, just check http://vntls.tindabox.net/browse/?q=&dropped=on and projects with no updates for a year or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah, VNTLS works very well, also if you find wrong info there just email them and they will fix it (they had one project listed as dropped where it actually wasn't, I emailed them and next day it was fixed).

REtransInternational Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The question that follows from that is, do you intend to make some of them less dead? You should not just be a consumer, start producing too. :)/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shcboomer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yeah, VNTLS works very well, also if you find wrong info there just email them and they will fix it (they had one project listed as dropped where it actually wasn't, I emailed them and next day it was fixed). Yeah they are pretty good on that kind of stuff, the updates are off of the 4chan updates anyways so they are usually the most up to day.

Dergonu Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Eh, @Chewy, hate to stop your crazy necro spree, but we do kind of frown upon necro bumping threads, unless you intend on continuing the discussion in some way. EDIT: So, with that said, I'm going to clean up the random posts in this thread. If anyone does have something to add to this, feel free to, of course. (Now that it has been bumped to the front page...) Just keep it on topic if you do. EastCoastDrifter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inorin Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) The translation for Muv Luv Alternative Total Eclipse has been dead since 2015. I know there's already an anime for it but it's an adaptation, meaning that it (probably) cuts parts from the VN. There's also the KimiNozo translation which has been dead since 2016. Again, I know there's an anime adaptation of it but it also (probably) doesn't tell the full story. Well, there are still a lot of other dead translation projects which I want to see revived but the above 2 mentioned are the ones I can recall right now Edited March 3, 2018 by wei123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginSmasher Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yosuga no Sora, Tokyo Necro, Sayooshi, and TsuRiotsu are a few notable fan TL projects that have either had almost no activity as of late or have been dead for a while that I really want to be finished. Although maybe it's not the best idea to put faith into fan TLs. w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 17 years old and still no translation even though it's one of the most popular vns out there. What is age even thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is age even thinking Something probably didn't go well with negotiations and now that TL is stuck in translation hell. We can only hope it either comes out officially or Evan continues the project as a fan translation later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazid-Kun Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Well, Amairo Islenauts translations seems already dead since their last patch (just prlouge though ) at 2014. Either way, I used VNR for read it ~ Still waiting for another yuzusoft vn be translated.... sighh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahu157 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Mashiro Iro Symphony's fan tl project died right before the common route was fully translated. I've always been bummed about that, but at this point I don't want it to be translated so /I/ can translate when I figure out this Japanese thing.

Maybe Amairo will come out in the West eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
