Hiatus Announcement
"Anyone got something funny to say to lighten the mood? I'm gonna die of a panic attack." - Odd della Robbia, Episode 52
SmashGenesis:
When MonsterKamo and I set out to subtitle every French episode of Code Lyoko in early 2022, we had every intention of seeing it through to the end. Unfortunately, good intentions and the love of a story can only take you so far. Even with the additional teammates we acquired along the way, our updates have slowed. The last time we posted was close to a year ago by now, and the reason isn't hard to guess: put simply, our lives have changed.
MonsterKamo is doing professional translation work. My time is split between writing my novel and my day job. None of us have heard a peep from victor1139 in ages; we can only hope he's alright. AdPro, Ruth, and Flo all have their own responsibilities, and with only so many hours in a day, we have to prioritize being adults over the adventures of kids with big foreheads and raging hormones. So...
Is Carthage Subbing done forever?
Maybe.
I want to leave the door open in case we can ever come back to it. This project is important to me, and I think that goes for the rest of us as well. But we can't guarantee anything.
The one silver lining to all this is that we have a number of mostly finished subtitle files. We never got around to translation-checking and proofreading them, but if we're going dark anyway, there's no reason not to post them, albeit without video. You'll have to find video files and apply the subs on your own. That will be its own post, which will also include a link to @4th-grader's page for Carthage Subbing on the Internet Archive.
Thank you so much to everyone who watched our subtitles over the last few years. We're all truly grateful we got to fill this niche in the Code Lyoko fandom. We know a lot of you were looking forward to experiencing the entire show this way, and that some were even watching it for the first time this way. We're truly sorry it has to end.
And since I'm feeling sentimental, why don't we all sign off together, one last time? You know the words. Say them with me, now:
Transfer. Scanner.
Virtualization.
