Down Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just wrote Muramasa into the field asking you for the VN you'd like to see licensed. What have I done. Muramasa is licensed by JAST already, alas. Rumors have it Makoto is actually translating it, expect it by 2020 (optimistic prevision). Filled up. Get dem hard copies coming! I didn't really know what to put in the VN you'd like to see licensed field though, so I just said "moar Steampunk series translated by koestl!".

Well, my second entry was SubaHibi and third Dies Irae, so either way I was just picking things that will never happen. Does JAST actually do anything with their licenses? Don't they still own Chaos;Head too, or was that someone else? On topic though, also went all for physical copies. Getting all the bonus stuff (even if it's completely useless) always makes the purchase so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does JAST actually do anything with their licenses? Don't they still own Chaos;Head too, or was that someone else? They licensed Nitro+ games en masse at some point (~2010 I think, after they licensed and successfully got Demonbane out). I don't think there's any point expecting Nitro+ games from anybody else. Now they're sitting on them and slowly putting them out. The thing is, contrary to MG and SP we actually know they got those licenses, so it feels like it takes them much longer to actually do something. For all we know MG might have been sitting on some licenses for years already, they just didn't announce it. O-oh... Well, my second entry was SubaHibi and third Dies Irae, so either way I was just picking things that will never happen. Looking forward to them finding a translator for Dies Irae . Apparently Makoto (who translates Muramasa and is one of the best translator out there, according to most people) said he wouldn't even consider translating something as hard as Dies.

Clephas Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That's weird, because Muramasa is almost as hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvz Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I put Dracu-Riot! Did I do it right? I also wrote on the comments section that they should invest more on Steam releases, since they sell a lot and help people to know VNs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vokoca Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That's weird, because Muramasa is almost as hard... I don't know about Dies Irae, but Senshinkan is giving me considerably more trouble than Muramasa did. But yeah, I suppose 'almost' is the key word here, Muramasa had its moments too.

Zakamutt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Eustia, Okujou no Yurirei-san, Bokusen (that's not released yet or anything but what the hell, was having a hard time finding anything I really wanted) Tried to make /reasonable/ suggestions (koestl even mentioned Okujou no Yurirei-san a bit since it's actually by liar-soft. Also srs yuri!). No nitro+ because JAST partnered, no T-M because very unlikely (and in that case Sekai Project will probably get it...), no iroseka because apparently you need the FD to really appreciate it fully and there's no telling if that would be TL'd as well... etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The deal with Muramasa is that Makoto already began translating it years ago before JAST started licensing Nitro+ stuff en masse. He got a decent chunk of the way through the game, but then ended up sidetracked with a lot of JAST projects once that started up. He keeps saying that he'll go back to it, officially backed by JAST, but recently he had to postpone the projects he postponed muramasa for in order to help out on stuff like romanesque and sumaga. So yeah, 2020 sounds about right. I put down Tsujidou-san, Asairo, and since I felt especially rambunctious, Senshinkan. I know the later is especially unlikely but I guess I just felt like I wanted to push them into a more diverse direction, away from the bog-standard slice of life romance stuff they usually do. It seems like they're headed that way anyway but it doesn't hurt to let them know that's the kind of thing I want to see more of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 In honor of the upcoming release of eden* and to celebrate the beginning of a bright new year, we’re holding our first ever licensing survey! Is this really their first survey? For some reason I keep thinking I filled one out for them in 2012... hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosakyun Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 >List independent blogs They're on to us. Seriously speaking though, I think I'll skip on answering this survey. Because I haven't really bought anything from them. Whelp. Here's to hoping Dracu-Riot gets picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayana Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 When I did this survey I put; Subarashiki Hibi (pls x3), Mahoutsukai no Yoru, and Harumade Kururu. All of them are relatively normal in translation difficulty and pretty much kamige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decay Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 God no, if anything, I'd rather leave the quality stuff to people who are paid to do it and do a better job of it. BTW, you're a pirate for downloading the games even if you're using a free translation patch. There is literally no difference, either way you're playing the game without giving money to the creators. It's interesting to see such an arbitrary line drawn. edit: I'm kind of surprised at the lack of loli games being recommended by our users considering amount of lolicons being harbored here. On that note: http://mangagamerstaff.tumblr.com/post/108985580034/are-there-any-series-or-specific-genres-themes Monobeno? No bueno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like the anime community model of self policing what is ok to fan translate and distribute. Once it gets licensed in the west it becomes hands off and most places take down the material. Sometimes it can be a race to watch something before it gets licensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
