A bit of warming up before I fully get back into the swing of translating narci2. So a comparative translation exercise on a song that I’ve had looping a bit too long.

A few innocent translations get thrown into a pit together~♪

After essentially 10 months of near absence, light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s been a long while since I’ve full-completed a game thanks to having no time. But this one’s special. Propeller’s Kitto, Sumiwataru Asairo Yori Mo just worth it.

After months of overwork, a little something to show I’m still alive, the lyrics and translation to the ED theme from Light’s “Tapestry”, Futari.

Woo! In perhaps the most balanced move between fans of the Bungaku Shoujo series of light novels and the trend of animating light novel series, a film adaptation will be made!

I try to make it fairly clear that I keep development projects hidden from sight until I think there’s something worth showing. Add that to having a few creative friends scattered around the globe, and some interesting things fall out… like video.

Secretly under development within the Denpasoft labs for over months, using hundreds of hours of processing time to render successfully, Narcissu Side 2nd, Carry-on Edition is almost ready for launch to the masses. These exclusive photos speak for themselves!

Haeleth and I both firmly believe in the “it’s done when it’s done, so don’t bother us” style of projects, so we’ve kept a very tight lid on progress reports. However, I do occasionally provide subtle hints, and so continuing in the spirit of providing amusing, but oddly useless information about what’s going on in the project, I present you this puzzle in the form of a graph.

Wiki this, wiki that, it’s all the rage when it comes to ‘community efforts’ and VN translation is no different. But is it really the “next big thing”? If it is, I’d like someone to enlighten me, because I’m only seeing it as a relatively new competitor in a crowded marketplace of tools.

There are three things needed for the success of a VN translation, the obvious one is skill, but the other, equally important ones are often put far behind skill: passion, and good people.
