[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

[Corfish1001]

I can't even begin to express how much I want to thank you guys for this! I can't wait to see the end. Thank you all so much for bringing us non-Japanese readers the chance to read this amazing tale <3

[SonozakiUshiromiya]

This is the reaction we couldn't express through text.

Thanks and <See You Again>, Witch Hunt.

I have never seen any translation group so effective as WH,
and Umineko's no short story either.
Unfortunately I have no clever or fancy words to say,
so I'll just say thank you all for giving everyone a chance to experience this wonderful series,
and I hope you take a well deserved break before even thinking about the spinoff titles.

It does affect the "trick" end, but it is really trivial. The most important thing with medals is that you unlock some scenes immediately if you manage to get both medals of a pair.

[Oblivion]

Wow, thank you so much. I cannot weait to read this. You guys are the best.

[The Creator]

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Thanks a lot WH for all you hard work!!!!!


YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I can't help but feel sort of relieved but also bitter since it is hard to have that impression that "that's it, we have done it!". Probably would have been different for a project which would be the same but on a shorter span (episodic structure doesn't help I guess).

Of course, things wouldn't have gone so well without all members of Witch Hunt who managed to keep it up. Those who helped us and still could see the end of our journey, I thank all of you for your help under the group name, however large or small your contribution was, each of them helped us to go that far. Regardless if you are no longer with us for this release, I personally am grateful for what you have done with us.

Suffice to say, the support and satisfaction of all fans was also a splendid sight to behold. I would be lying if we didn't feel satisfaction with all these thanks, but yet, it is the fact all of you were so curious, interested and looking forwards Ryukishi's latest tale that drove us to do our best.

As such, we of Witch Hunt would like to express our gratitude to all of you readers, who enjoyed Umineko no Naku Koro ni.


Well then, enough tchitchat I guess?

As promised, here is the tale that Ushiromiya Battler wanted to convey to his little sister. Now, this tale is finally available for everyone.
We of Witch Hunt are proud to announce that the complete patch for Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - Episode 8: Twilight of the Golden Witch is finally available.



You can grab it here. Please select the appropriate installer depending of your OS:

• Windows installer: [EU mirror] [US mirror]

• OS-X installer: [EU mirror] [US mirror]

More mirrors and nosinstaller versions can be found on our website.
Please note that we aren't going to remain idle, so if you notice any glitch, typo, mistakes etc, please don't hesitate and report them to us.

Note: Old save state won't be available for this release. Therefore, we made a choice at the beginning of Episode 8 that will allow you to jump directly to the second half of the patch.

Specific note: A known glitch will certainly occur at some point in Episode 8. It isn't that much of an issue, but we have no fix as of now.
The problem is as follow: At some point in the latter half of Episode 8, a certain character doll sheet will take the topmost layer displayed, which will cover even the menu HUB. Once the scene is over, everything works fine.

The links section doesn't contain the latest patch, only the older vers

First: I want to thank you for all the great work. You really made our lives better by translating this.

But... the patch is not working fine for me.

Spoiler for bug:

EP8, Chapter: Black Cat Scratch Marks.
At the moment Will strikes with his sword, right after Beatrice opened the door to the Golden Land, the game just freezes. It also takes a few minutes until I can close the game because my PC won't react normally. I tried it multiple times by now.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit with the latest updates.

Try hitting the refresh button on your browser. For some reason, that's always been an issue with this site.

They do, but you have to clean your cache and refresh the page.

[Ukyo9]

Thank You. Those have been quite intresting years. Both me and a friend of mine are very grateful to all of you.

[Sonozaki Futagotachi]

Hi ChanceWolf,

We're having trouble reproducing your bug, so it's probably a memory issue of some sort. Can you try running the game again, but first add this line to the "ons.cfg" file in the game folder:

debug

It'll open a few folders when you start the game. After it crashes, look in the ONScripter-EN folder for the file "stdout.txt", open it, and either paste the last few lines into a reply post here, or else email the file to UncleMion (at) gmail.com.

(You can remove the "debug" line from the ons.cfg file afterwards, though I may want to see some other output later.)

Thanks,
Uncle Mion

[Keriaku]

I want to thank you all so much, Witch Hunt. I really can't express how grateful I am. Umineko as a series really changed my life and it will always be something that is a part of me. Though I am now on a path towards learing Japanese myself, and I would have certainly read it one day, I have no idea who I would have been if I hadn't experienced Umineko over these last 3-4 years.

So thank you, and thank you again, for bringing this out for all of us. Know that your efforts have gone a long way.

[otakufan]

Witch-Hunt, I want to reaffirm something: YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!

Thanks again for all your hard work!

*thumbs up*

[LtheMilkEater]

I'm on a Mac. I downloaded the patch and tried to install from my DVD copy. It seems alright at first, but when I try to open the game, a window pops up saying that the application quit unexpectedly. Clicking on "Relaunch" just causes another identical window to pop up. It won't open at all.

I tried to reinstall the game three times, redownloaded the patch, and tried to install it again, but I get the same result each time.

[confused_kitsune]

Thank you ever so much for all the effort! It definitely was worth it! I feel as if Umineko has changed me so much during these last 3 years, shaping my reading interests towards mystery, introducing new types of awesome music in my life and last but not least, improving my thinking methods when approaching an argument. So thank you, WH!

[TwilightsCall]

Allow me to add my words of thanks to the huge amount thats already here. Witch Hunt has easily been one of, if not the most, dedicated translation group I've ever seen. Words cannot express the level of thanks I feel, and no level of thanks is enough to repay the debt we owe for this excellent service.

With that being said, thank you one last time, and I wish all of you good luck in your future endeavours

[Yirba]

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to the Witch Hunt project for doing such a brilliant job of allowing people around the world to enjoy this amazing story we all know and love.

Honestly, doing what Witch Hunt has done is by no means an easy feat. Thanks for the awesomeness.
