Ranzo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 " Yuhi Minagawa whom a friend form childhood." Is this supposed to be worse than a regular childhood friend? 'Please check with your eyes what kind of happiness it will spin." Is another absolutely stellar line. They don't even fucking try do they?

It actually feels like there is some logic behind the words, it's just that the translator has no idea about how English grammar works.

Templarseeker Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Whoa! Haven't seen such a bizarre and awful translation mess like this before?!

Nier Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Wait "Hobibox"? Isn't that the same company which released about 2 VNs in Europe like 18 years ago? https://vndb.org/p1101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the same company which released about 2 VNs in Europe like 18 years ago? https://vndb.org/p1101 Hobibox is a huge corporation that has been actively trying to release stuff internationally for a very long time. See their parent producer: https://vndb.org/p1665 Many of their imprints have games released by english-language VN publishers. They are also a subsidiary of DMM, a big online adult entertainment group. It's worth noting that there's some misinformation going around stating that this is being self-published by the original Japanese developers/publishers. This is not the case. The original developer was Cube, a subsidiary of Cuffs, which from what I can tell has no formal relationship with DMM/Hobibox. What appears to have happened is an actual licensing arrangement where DMM/Hobibox licensed the rights to a chinese and english release from Cuffs, just like how a western VN publisher like MangaGamer would. So essentially, it's still the same setup of a third-party company licensing, translating, and releasing a game in another language, except that Cuff turned down offers from proper English companies in order to work with a Japanese company that has no idea what they're doing. Fun stuff. Edited July 31, 2018 by Decay Dergonu, Infernoplex, Dreamysyu and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't DMM the ones who owns the publishing rights for Iwahime: https://vndb.org/v17863 This was the reason cited by the usual Ryuukishi07 fan-translators as to why they won't fan-translate the game, because unlike typical Ryuukishi07 work which is self-published idependently, Iwahime is owned and published by DMM. Could this mean that Iwahime might eventually be released in english by Hobibox who'se eager to share with world the much deliciousness of Iwahime, right!??

DMM seems somewhat willing to work with western publishers. But yeah, maybe they'll pull a frontwing and decide to do their own stuff themselves from now on, on top of licensing from other companies in Japan. Who knows. Witch Hunt worked with expressed permission from Ryukishi 07. I'm guessing they don't want to translate anything of his without permission, especially now that they've worked with MangaGamer on the official Umineko release. And R07 can't give permission for Iwaihime, indeed. Nier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nandemonai Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Huh. They updated the storefront page. All the 瓦石語 (garbagese) seems to be gone now, except for the one screenshot (which hasn't been changed). Perhaps it actually isn't being machine translated. (I'll still be wanting to see an explanation for what the hell that was they posted.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
