English Translation Project for Little Busters! (Game)

[Khu]

YES.

(needs another VN to play)

Just a small FYI: you can find out about the latest updates for the project if you go on http://www.tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index...Little_Busters! I'll try to keep it up to date, but no promises.

*fixed*.

Wonder whose bright idea it was to have the ! in the project page name, the correct link displays properly as URL by default just about nowhere

This may be a stupid question, but is the font spacing of the dialogue in this patch supposed to be as annoyingly disproportionate as it is?

Disproportionate how? Mine was fine, though I've heard of others having font problems.

Question for those who've played through the translated Route...

Spoiler for Rin (Bad):

Did I get the right ending if the end of it is simply Riki fainting and Rin calling his name frantically, followed by a Message From The Darkness?

You can change the font you use yourself from the settings, most fixed width ones should be fine. If you're having a problem where you only see bad font choices available there, that's caused by some font you have installed and easiest solution is to backup and remove some fonts (starting with those you do see listed in LB, and fonts with their names in Japanese). I hear there's a fix on the way though that'll make variable width fonts work as well.

Yep.

[darkcloner]

Yup, seems like I was using the English labelled MS Gothic instead of the Japanese MS ゴシック. Works fine and dandy now.

[Kazane]

I've just completed the translated parts and...

Well, for the upcoming playthroughs, I ought to remind myself to cherish the common route more. The moment I entered the Rin route, I could feel some melancholic feeling setting in, what with most of Kyousuke's lines somehow seeming to foreshadow what's to come.

All in all, the translation patch was splendid. Many thanks to the group behind this.

Thank you for the release guys, it is much appreciated. Except that my resolve to only start playing when the final patch is released is starting to waver.

Considering the savegame stuff, it seems like that's the smartest option, but I'm willing to play this whole game six or seven times if I can just get these tastes every few months.

@Rhapsody: Yep.

[Phlebas]

Figured I might as well give a clarification on the current issues with savegames.
As it is now your "game state" is unaffected by patch, ie. your clear game data etc is kept, but because most of the scripts have changed, saves won't work unless you're really lucky (any major changes to current script will hang up save made in it).
So if you play a complete route you're good, otherwise some of your saves mid-game *might* work but it's pretty much all up to luck. This is why we stopped releasing partial patches early on.
The more troublesome thing is that this also renders (at least most of) your previously read scenes as 'unread', so you won't be able to just skip (at least most of the) scripts with "skip already read" function if that would otherwise be your preference - further complicated by the fact that there's a whole bloody ton of script variation, so if you start with forced skipping (ctrl), you will actually miss a lot of previously unread script.
As changes to common route (hopefully) decrease in further patches the aforementioned save issues will decrease as well.

Of course, can't guarantee anything about future patches either so the warnings are to be heeded.

If you can guarantee the game state, I am a very happy camper, as I'll probably end up playing Rin's bad route a few more times before you guys get another patch out.

[Rhapsody]

I guess it can't be helped. I'm excited for the translation project to be completed. Rin's route gave me a good sample of Little Busters.

[Kudryavka]

A new LB! patch out? w00t! Thanks, #fluffy.
Does the new patch fix EX compatibility problems? Not that I mind if it doesn't.

[Azi]

I just need verification on a couple of things for people who have already played through the translation.

Spoiler for LB:

During a few of the choices where you pick your girl for stuff like the test of courage, are they supposed to be all blank and only limited to one option? And are you supposed to start out only with cats and Rin on the baseball field because thats all I can see on my 1st and 2nd playthrough.

Those are known issues if you're playing EX/ME with the LB scripts. As you can see it's not really recommended at this point. Future patches will likely support them better (see announcement on wiki).

I stop keeping up to date with the project and look what happens when I finally check up on it. Now that Little Busters! CD I have can finally be put to use.

I was surprised at the suddenness of the bad end. Here I was just playing along and suddenly I get the "Sorry, better luck next time" message.
*sigh* And here I was thinking everything was going so well.

On another note, I've become addicted to trying to get the highest combo in baseball. So far, I've only got 7.

Excellent job on the translation. Maybe with a little luck maybe the Kurugaya translation for Christmas.

I hit around 7~9 on the average. I don't remember what my best score is, but definitely above 15. I have spent so much time playing the game that it's hardly surprising.
