Absence

My apologies for the lack of contact in the last three months.

Due to personal and work circumstances, I have not been able to devote time to this project, and may not for the near future.

I may continue to work on this project at some point, but I cannot make any guarantees as to when that may happen. Thus, if anyone else wishes to work on a translation project for this visual novel, please feel free to do so.

I have uploaded all the finished scripts and images pertaining to the project here. As above, feel free to use it as a starting point, or simply to see what has been done.

I didn't even realize this week was Valentine's Day till a few days prior. That made things a little messy.

My HDD gave out earlier this week. I only lost a couple of days of work, but it was still irritating. Ah well.

Rough week this time. This shouldn't be a pattern (I hope).

I've uploaded a progress chart here, hosted separately since it's technically a spoiler for how the game flows into the different routes and which characters have endings. Don't click on it if these things are important to you. I'll probably update this whenever there's significant progress and/or I feel like it.

I should probably do a route progress thingie at one point. Maybe next week.

I forgot to mention this last update, but the common route is now done. Slowly, slowly...

I should stop saying that progress may be slow - It'll just make it worse if/when it actually DOES get slow(er).

As it turns out, this whole month will likely be a busy-ish one, so progress may be slow.

Normal(?) service should resume now.

Remember when I said I'll update weekly?

I lied.

Translation patch for the trial edition of the game: http://www.filedropper.com/daitoshokandemopatchtrialversion

Translation patch demo for the regular edition of the game (translates the same amount as the trial edition): http://www.filedropper.com/daitoshokandemopatch

Please see the readmes for either patch on how to apply it to the game and other info.

The trial edition of the game can be downloaded from August's official website.

(No translation status update till the weekend)

System messages done as well - the ones that are strings anyway. This coming week will likely be busy for work-related reasons, so I doubt there'll be that much translation progress for next week's update.

Progress this week was a bit slow, as I'm spending some time on things like system messages and images as well. Next week will likely be the same.

This week marks the week that I've finally fallen behind the anime. Not that I had any chance of finishing the whole game in 8 weeks.
