Is this playable now in English? I hear mixed answers
>>12239015No the game was only given a proof of concept translation for like the first chapter with machine TL. Nothing substantial and I think it even crashes. Like with all Saturn games, don't forget [you are here.]
No
>>12239015The guy who had done the proof of concept hates thes game and is not motivated to continue, I'm not being hyperbolic on this. If we ever get this it probably be from someone else.
>>12241572I remember reading his comments. Why did he even bother translating it if he hates the game so much?
>>12242808Mental illness is prevalent in hobbyist hacking, and some sick-in-the-head hackers think it's their right to "fix" games they hate. Personally, I don't understand why anyone would ever do this unless they love the game. oh wait, the neetbux
>>12242849>people are mentally ill because i don't understand somethingThis. That's totally the way it works.
>Wachenröder English fan translation in the works!>news article from 2021
>>12242849>>12242808He did a quick proof of concept translation because he's in the scene and recognized that it had interest, but in playing the game found it boring and deprioritized it as a project, that's not mental illness it's just normal human behaviour.More mentally ill to expect free labor from someone who doesn't want to translate your obscure japanese saturn exclusive, if you're that inclined to play it learn japanese.
>>12242808>Why did he even bother translating it if he hates the game so much?This is going to be a depressing newsflash for you, but the majority of "fan" translators aren't actually fans of the shit they work on at all, and you're lucky if they actually played through the first hour of the game before immediately trying to hack it and dump the script.
>>12243187>>12243191>mentally ill tranny calls dibs on translation knowing full well that doing so causes other groups to look elsewhere out of politeness>UH SHE IS JUST A HUMAN THIS IS NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIORfuck off
>>12243191In most projects, the hacking and the translating is handled by separate people. Usually the hacker only knows English, so it is only natural that they cannot experience the game before hacking it. It doesn't really matter, though. The developers didn't play the game before they finished making it. Also unlike writing, programming is not subjective. Their code either works or it doesn't. The hacker's opinion on the game is of not relation to their understanding of the game itself outside of its technical inner workings.
>>12243439it's 2025, why are people still pretending to have some arbitrary honor code anyway for that anyway when they don't for anything else in life? just hack it and don't tell them you're doing it, if you're doing it for recognition and the potential for career advancement instead to make the material more freely available to others you don't deserve honor anyway.
