Quick Update

Apologies for going dark. There were some reasons for it I don't want to disclose.  Billing cycle will be paused in October and November to make up for it.

I'm almost done with RJ401647, a short "puzzle" game I picked up last month. I only have the UI and status menu images to translate. I'll do a release post once those are finished. Shouldn't take more than 2 days.
I worked on Exorcist Chris this month also. Not much, but I managed to finish the remaining maps in the 3rd area...

End of the Week Post (15.08 - 21.08)

Exorcist Chris and the Cursed Town

H-Scenes Translated: 26/26

Areas Completed: 2/6

Translated the last 6 h-scenes. This week I also finished two of the most text-heavy maps -- commercial district and upper district, -- which not only have regular dialogues, but pretty wordy mini-scenes, too. Another map with even more text (noble district) is 60% translated now also...

End of the Week Post (01.08 - 07.08)

Exorcist Chris and the Cursed Town

H-Scenes Translated: 20/26

Areas Completed: 2/6

Will definitely finish the remaining h-scenes this week.
Afterwards I'll deal with the untranslated text in the first two areas. After a quick playtest, I noticed that they still need some work. Untranslated speech bubbles and name pops are one thing, but NPCs that should be fully ...

War Demon Kirsten TL Patch 1.04

Small changelog:
-proofread the parts that I still needed to;
-dealt with the remaining text in scripts;
-translated some exclusive to the 1.08 version text (nothing important, just flashback room stuff);
-edited the messages in battle log to sound more natural;
-edited the monster log and got rid of text spills and such;
-etc that I forgot about.

Two patches in the archive are for different version of the game -- namely, 1.02 and 1.08. If you notice anything weird, yo...

End of the Week Post (25.07 - 31.07)

Exorcist Chris and the Cursed Town

Again, I decided to change how I do things. 

When translating War Demon Kirsten, I learned that h-scenes are the biggest motivation drainer for me, and that putting them off until later is a horrible idea. With that in mind, during the previous week, I started working on h-events  for Exorcist Chris, and a...

War Demon Kirsten Release Patch(es)

There was a bit of delay, but it's finally here. And there's not one but two patches. 

Two patches provided are for different versions of the game. More information about that on my discord server.

Everything should be translated, including plugins, 50 or so images with text, h-scenes and the database. That said, the game has so much text, some bits of text could have slip...

War Demon Kirsten Pre-Release Patch

First off, sorry for such a long silence.  I just thought that since I've been focusing on only one game, you wouldn't be that interested in reading my weekly posts. Other reasons: 1. didn't want to dilute posts by talking about unimportant or personal stuff; 2. there's now a public discord where you can check my progress and how active I am.

With that out of the way, let's get to the main...

Quick Update

RJ338982 - War Demon Kirsten's translation is really close to being complete. And these are the tasks I still need to do to finish it:

- translate the images;

-finish 2 sets of scenes (aria flashbacks and brothel);

-dialogue in battles;

-faq/ingredient descriptions;

-monkey island maps.

The game is already almost fully in English. But in a week's time at most I will release a pre-release patch which will cover all the parts which are now in Japanese. <...

End of the Week Post (09.05-15.05)

I'm still crunching, trying to finish a translation I promised to release last month. Really sorry about that again.

War Demon Kirsten

Almost all battle H-events have been translated now.  And I managed to do that in just 9 days. Don't wanna sound overoptimistic, but that really is good news.

I also did more work on the database and translated one last Miseria map.

Maps Completed: 155/168

Common Events (text strings): 2...

Mid-Week Post (02.05-08.05)

2-3 translations in April... Yeah, I really said that about 3 long, full-fledged h-rpgs. It sounds ridiculous in hindsight, but at the time I really believed that. 

If you haven't noticed, I'm really bad with estimates, so I won't be doing them anymore. I feel like overpromising and then not delivering is not a good look. But you'll be able to see where I'm at, gauge my progress by other means, like with metrics I started posting recently.

One of the translations I promised t...

End of the Week Post (18.04-24.04)

Hey, all! Seems like discord experiment I decided to conduct is going well. For a newly created server, it's pretty lively, and it also gives me motivation to work on the translations so that I can share my progress with you after. 

That said, it doesn't seem like any of my patrons are there yet. So if you want to join, you can link your patreon and discord accounts and then you supposedly will be get an unique role on my server. I think I did everything to make that possible, but ...

Mid-Week Post (11.04-17.04)

First off, here's the link to my newly created and for now empty as wasteland discord:

https://discord.gg/8rByrpfa

Everyone is welcome, but there is an exclusive channel for patrons where you can voice your opinions or grievances if you so desire. Just write me a message either here or there, and I'll give you the role. I'll try to think up some other exclusive perks for patrons.

There are channels for 3 gam...

Mid-Week Post (4.04-10.04)

Another week, another post that starts with apologies. But yeah, sorry for not showing any signs of life the entire past week.

Evidently, there's still an issue with lack of communication. I'm working on my projects every single day (that said, I must admit I took a break this Sunday), but frankly I'm not a two posts a week guy, so you might think I'm slacking. 

To deal with this situation, I decided to make my own discord server with channels dedicated to all games I'm curre...

End of the Week Post (21.03-27.03)

Hello! 

If you haven't seen my yesterday's post, go check it out. But in short, it was something like this: had some technical problems last week, resolved them, entered crunch mode, gotta go fast, aiming for 3 releases next month.

Exorcist Chris

Finished dialogues in the 2nd area, started work on 3rd. More work on Common Events stuff where h-scenes, defeat scenes and captive event dialogues are.

Maps Completed: 75/189

Quick Update

Hey, all! 

Sorry for going a bit silent on you. Didn't make a post last Sunday because I encountered one technical issue. Namely, I couldn't export translated files from the program I'm using. Thankfully, I found the solution quickly, and it was very simple -- I just had to delete the cache.

This whole week I've been in the crunch mode. There was huge progress every single day, but, as you can see, communication has been lacking. "Just one more map, and I'll make a post"... a...

Mid-Week Post (14.03 - 20.03)

Exorcist Chris

Translated more than half of second hub's maps (farm). What's left is mostly event maps with very little text which you will see before and after h-scenes. 

I probably need to explain how the game is structured, so that my posts make more sense. The game has 6 hubs or areas, if you will, -- lower district, farm, upper district, commercial and noble districts and then castle. The maps these hubs are comprised of have story bits, mini-events with...

End of the Week Post (7.03 - 13.03)

Exorcist Chris

Sadly, I managed to do less that I was planning to. But there are several reasons for that. First of all, the game has insane amounts of unused, scrapped stuff. The best illustration of that is the fact that there's a whole alternative opening which uses 5 or so maps. Knowing that, you have to double-check if what you're translating is being used by the game. Then there's an issue of having to find widely used text strings which makes you waste...

Mid-Week Post (7.03-13.03)

Hey, all! 

First of all, sorry for not making a post past Sunday. I know I promised to keep you all updated as much as possible, but then I thought about it again and came to a conclusion that making posts just for the sake of it is not a good idea. After all, sometimes you hit major roadblocks that slow you down immensely. And that was the case this last weekend.

Basically, I started working on the mansion area of Red-haired Demon God. There you get reports from your lieuten...

Mid-Week Post

I'll be brief. 

I tried to spend as much time as possible this week on my projects, and I have something to show for it. 

I finished translating content in both the unnamed village and intro of Red-Haired Demon God. Since Sunday, all in all I managed to translate 22 maps. Not sure yet if I'm going to stick to the plan I outlined in my previous post and proofread/translate the remaining carnal voices text in the village or start working on the mansion/minister Harges rela...

End of the Week Post

Red-haired Demon God

I attached the new tl patch. It's not as big as I planned, but let's just say the original text this time was not exactly easy to work with. Got stumped a lot, not knowing how to best translate some sentences.

This week I translated 13 first village maps, and I need to translate only 4 to be done with this hub (unnamed village). I tend to overpromise, so here's what I will definitely be able to do next week:

-translate all remaining vill...

End of the Week Update

First off, some unfortunate news. Despite what I said in my previous post, I wasn't able to recover as quickly as I wanted. I got back to working on my projects only yesterday (Saturday). There was some decent progress these past two days, but I will significantly increase the pace starting tomorrow.  I want to make up for all the time I lost while I was recovering, so here are my plans for next week:

-huge update for Exorcist Chris, which will include the game's opening and first ...

Quick Patreon Update

Sorry for the lack of updates. I contracted either flu or corona last week, and had to spend this Sunday, Monday, Tuesday in bed. Thankfully, there were no complications -- just relatively high body temperature and sore throat, -- and, as of today, I think I already recovered (don't feel weak at least).

I'm planning to make two posts this week. One beefy weekly update post and another secret one.

Weekly Update (31.01-06.02)

Last week's weekly post. After the blunder with the last game I translated (I deleted the post, but you can find the tl patch on f95, in my thread), I lost a couple of days, but I'm getting back on track and will pick up the pace now. Though, I have to say it was a good lesson, and I learned that I shouldn't branch out and should stick to the stuff I like and know best (femc games, that is).

Today, I have for you two patches -- 1. Red-haired Demon God, and 2. Exorcist Chris.&...

Weekly Update (24.01-30.01)

Hey, all!

Sorry for now showing any signs of life last week. RJ352832's proofreading took me a bit longer than expected (I didn't want to half-ass it like I did it with Amelie's game). There also wasn't any significant progress I could make a post about when it comes to other games, so I decided to postpone it.

This week, though, I finished translating most of the images UI/menus of 2022-02-01 21:41:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly Update + Announcement

Attached is the first and very rough around the edges patch for Red-haired Demon God.

The game is very difficult to translate, and this month I had a lot of setbacks when it comes to it, so I don't have much to show yet. In the patch only the events in the first village's inn/some...

Attention! Patreon updates and such!

First off, my apologies. In my last post I mistakenly said that only $5+ patrons will be able to vote in the upcoming poll. That was incorrect.  Only $5+ patrons can suggest games, but all my supporters will be able to vote, and it's not subject to change for now. Additionally, $20 patrons will be able to cast two votes.

So far I only received one game suggestion, and if nobody puts forward any other game, it will win automatically. The poll is supposed to be held tomorrow, so it's...

母が土下座した日 Pre-release Patch

Heya, guys. Sorry for not making a weekly post last week. Despite what you might think, I was hard at work, and, since I got really close to finishing the game in question, I decided to postpone making a post and do it when the translation will be in the finishing stages.  So here we go.

The translation still needs one more editing pass, and the flashback room with scenes isn't translated ...

母が土下座した日 First Patch

First patch, and I already almost got the biggest hurdle out of the way. I'm talking about Map001 of this game, which alone has 1500 text strings. Those include tutorials, lots of spicy scenes and various dialogues.

Overall, the game has 4600 text lines, so I'm well on my way to finishing it in the first half of this month.

I haven't had time to translate UI yet, but I will update the link once I do that today/tomorrow. Speaking of links, I won't be attaching patches of this game ...

Next happypink translation

Basically, the title. Help me figure out which happypink game I should pick up for translation.

The Alcummy of Amelie Full Translation

Amelie, a simple, ordinary girl, was sentenced to execution and thrown in jail. Her crime? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But this is not where it all ends for her, as in the prison she meets certain someone, who has an offer for her she simply can't refuse lest she dies.

You'll be able to find who she meets and what will happen to her in this light-hearted (despite heav...
