defendos Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) If you still want to see and follow our progress please go to our homepage: http://flyingpantsu.net/koiken-otome since i won't be updating this post again and againHello fellow fansubbers and readers,I am defendos and i have established a small team to translate a futuristic/sci-fi h-game visual novel.The name of the visual novel is:Koiken Otome (A game by Eufonie):Vndb link: http://vndb.org/v10608The translation is already underway as an side project (until my second translator gets free time which will be at summer),but we still need more translators (to get this project as an main project already before summer), for every assignment there are some men already but you are always allowed to help us out more with for example hacking or image editing,.well the team list is as following: for now we got only 1 translator and 1 translator checker(who is tl'ing a bit now until my other tl gets back), 3 editors, 1 image editor, 2 hackers, 2 testers, 2 quality checkers, 1 project leader (me:p).if you're interested don't hesitate to mail me: [email protected] or contact me in irc, my nickname is: defendos (don't worry i'm always on irc).So if someone is interested i'd love to meet you and add you in our team (we never got enough men, the more the faster it will be tled/edited, etc.).Why koiken otome you ask? well looks more detailed/futuristic than most games, its effects and menu's are also quite detailed, its HD 720p (Screen size & effects in windows mode), its also full voiced (every character even side characters) and its quite recent too (end 2012 begin 2013 released)some screenshots about the game design:Main Menu: Config Menu: Actual game scene:Regards,Defendos.

Steve Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Very nice project, can't wait for it, the art is gorgeous and the interface quality is very nice So you do have scrips extracted since you started TL and only need insertion or do you need help with the extraction and the TL you made so far is only in external text document? I can try the extraction if you need, shouldn't be that hard but I'd have to download the game first. archive is in pack, image is in bmp and jpg use jk5cv(westside) or exfp3(asmodean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusAnon Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I can help with it if you can wait with tools till mid/late june. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defendos Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I can help with it if you can wait with tools till mid/late june. Thank you for your reply, can you also make patch files and extract the files which we are going to translate? we want to release every so often partial patches that's why i'm asking if you can do that also.

RusAnon Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 can you also make patch files and extract the files which we are going to translate? Yes, I will make full set of tools and assist with tools usage. But you will have to wait till I finish my current projects, and there is quite a big pile already, lol (expected date is mid/late june, as I said). So probably you should look around for people who are available immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And TBH I have only been extracting xp3 games so far so I have no experience with this engine either xD Well I will download the game so I can at least try, learning to extract it will be useful in the future anyway xD But for the whole project including patching etc, I would recommend someone like RusAnon as he can offer the whole service I need to train on my personal projects first.

So probably you should look around for people who are available immediately. it doesn't matter for the patching part that can be when you are available, In the meantime, me and Steve can try to crack it open so we can already change the kanji to my groups tl, hopefully it will work out, if not then we just continue translating by writting the lines in a notepad(synced with our cloud). can you mail me at: [email protected] when you are available again? thank you very much.

Guest Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 hey i just blogged it. http://visualnovelaer.fuwanovel.net/2013/05/koiken-otome-new-fan-translation-project-need-hackers/ wondering do u need translators and editors as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 ok, ive been playing with it for few hours but I have no idea where are the scripts I extracted the CGs and sounds and all that but I can't find the scripts. And the folders are all in Japanese so its even harder xD And i have never seen a VN like this too, the settings with all the options for direct etc So sorry, you'll have to find someone else, this is too much for me xD I cant even find any forum posts regarding this in English (from other people trying to extract similar games) and can't read Japanese (or if anyone knows anything about these .pack files, got all the folders extracted so maybe at least in what pack the scripts are (0 to 7) would help too xD Maybe I just overlooked them somewhere. (It is QLiE engine with .pack archives) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REtransInternational Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Send the main executable and a small sample datafile our way... we might've seen this one before.

Ask about our other services too. https://docs.google....jhtVXRUMmM/edit I believe the data6.pack should have the scripts (included small data 5 too), the remaining (not included) ones are menu graphics 70MB and the rest is 500MB+ which has all the music and cgs etc so unless it is mixed there somewhere, it should be in the data6. But I wasn't able to extract anything from there EDIT: yeah the data6 has the scenarios, I was able to extract something but it only has location and then the file is empty, ill try something else so this is the best I could get, not sure what im doing wrong, it all looks like this. but it is in correct folders for each of the heroines so im on the right track xD https://docs.google....kpldzluaGc/edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
