Stray Cat Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Very tempting, very tempting indeed. If the box set is closer to $200 I may go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Poltroon Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The reason why projects like this get funded is because people feel the need to get physical stuff and go for the most expensive rubbish... Which I'm totally fine with. Please give them as much money as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decay Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It sounds like they aren't going to dilly-dally around on this. The crowdfunding campaign launches next month, and Koestl says he's hoping they're able to release Rakuen just a year after the campaign ends. So the whole trilogy could be released by the end of next year. That would be pretty amazing. He isn't even half done with Gahkthun yet, though, so he's going to be a very busy man. sanahtlig, Karakkan, BookwormOtaku and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Poltroon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 he'll be paid so he'll work pretty fast I see. So Koestl is some kind of coin machine that only works when insert money? Money can certainly give you motivation, but I don't see how it'd make you translate faster. Actually, Grisaia got translated pretty fast for it's size, and the translation is fantastic.

Yeah, but you have it backwards. He won't be translating because he's getting paid, he'll be getting paid because he's translating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grisaia went from start to finish in about 14 or 15 months. And it also has a 3.7mb script. Only other fan translator to really do that is ixrec except koestl's work is of so much higher quality. Dude can fucking book it when he wants to. Mr Poltroon and BookwormOtaku 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this through a bit. What do you think fan translators do when they're not translating? Among other things, they're working. If they're actually getting paid, that's an opportunity to spend less time doing other things to actually make a living and instead spend that time translating. The more they're paid, the less reason they have to work other jobs, and the more time they can devote to a given project. Sometimes the entitlement complex shown by the fanbase amazes me. Just because you can make unlimited copies of digital media doesn't mean that it's free to produce, or that the time of the people involved is worthless. hotsauce2000 and Stray Cat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you can make unlimited copies of digital media doesn't mean that it's free to produce, or that the time of the people involved is worthless. I did think of this after writing that first comment but I decided to leave it in favour of the coin machine joke, I'm afraid. I also don't see how the entitlement topic has anything to do the conversation at hand. I made no comments regarding how his efforts are compensated and how much a fanbase deserves it. In fact, I'm rather thankful for his work. But isn't my love and imminent support for the visual novel evidence of this already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyrt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm gonna support this no doubt about that. I am a little concerned whether or not they should do the kickstarter for the entire trilogy or if they should do like what they plan. The reason I say this is because once they reach goal I fear they will get less donations...mainly because I know people tend not to donate once goal is reached. Do you think it would be better to try for the entire trilogy or should they just do it one game at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Unseen Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hopefully I'll be able to pledge for this. I've got my JCI this month(Japanese Compulsory Insurance: a bi-annual event where car shops charge around $600 to put a stamp on a paper saying you can drive your car for the next two years), which may put me behind on rent. Once I get that sorted out, GnK will be the first thing I look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decay Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 No, you would have assuredly heard about it here if it was. You can sign your email up at their prefundia page to get notified when the kickstarter goes live. It will happen sometime in the middle or end of November.

Scars Unseen Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well... My JCI just cost me about $1200. Maybe I'll be able to help fund this toward the end of the KS, but I'll be too busy trying to catch up on the bills I couldn't pay to catch it at the beginning...
