[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

[ghost_zero5]

Actually I wanted to ask if they have decided to wait for the 50% patch now - regarding the first release - ?

[Witch of Uncertainty]

Found something strange while replaying ep 1. I'm at the part where they are recieving the phone call in the study.

Spoiler for Ep1 Phonecall:

Looks like the semicolon that's supposed to make the code invisible isn't in the script. Is this from a newer patch or an older one?

[Witch of Uncertainty]

Newer, I think.

I actually posted about the same thing a little while back (though I certainly don't expect you to have looked for it beforehand, since it's over 10 pages back... ). This was Klashikari's response.

[Klashikari]

It has been a long time, but I ought to provide few updates:

-Similarly to last year, we are busy to the point progress for the translation is going on a snail pace. To be more accurate, chrono was enrolled in an internship, so his free time is cut to the drain.
-The compatibility patch still generate a few problems, but I don't think it will be delayed for a long time, unless if the translation has gone to great lengths to the point we should just wait for a 30-50% patch.
-We are also waiting for few inquiries addressed to Ryukishi, although the latter is currently at Taiwan for the Fancy Frontier 17.

Speaking of which... there was a lethal zerg rush happening over there... truly a mortal stampede

Good god they knocked that standon the left down
Though Battler and Evatrice made me giggle. Namely because Battler slowish walk, Evatrice "charge" shes so tiny compared to everyone else :3
I`m geussing the Sakutaro is the one filming the second clip.

I need to start saving my money for EP8 then....

[rogerpepitone]

Can't be Sakutarou. You see him at the end of the clip.

The moment when Sakutarou brushes by the guy in the black jacket occurs at 0:38 in the first clip and 1:37 in the second. Unfortunately, that's occurring right at the edge of the frame, so the cameraman doesn't appear, and the moment when it angles a bit further right is blurred.

When I started reading your post, Klash, I was planning to say "Good luck with the translation. Take your time." and encouraging stuff like that.

...then I watched that video. And now I don't know what I should say. XD

[Poetic Justice]

Ryukishi is such a boss.

[Kishin]

rofl, thats epic that everyone charged in... As well they should for an autograph by Ryukishi. I feel bad for the group next to them having their booth demolished though lol

[SonozakiUshiromiya]

Well Evatrice can airdash in Ougon...

[lovelysan]

Sakutaro meandering by at the end seems appropriate too. lol

[immblueversion]

Hey, at the very start of the first video, you can see Maria in her cutesy white anime dress running up from below!

[moichispa]

I think the Virgilia cosplayer of the final part of the video realized it was the wrong cosplay for that moment for sure.

[kittylyoko]

So theres a Battler: whose hard to miss
Evatrice; also hard to miss
*little* Maria: only visable at the begining but disappers in the see of people
Sakutaro: at the end, but he stands out *Bright Yellow*
Virgilia *right at the end* biiiiiig dress

There also might be an Ange towards the right of the stand, but I can`t really tell shes too far away.
Anyone else?

Any idea how much EP8 will cost, same as EP4?

[Kishin]

for me atleest ep8 was cheaper than ep4, this might have just been because I switched to amiami but I think it cost 40 or 45$ with shipping, ep4 being 50 or 55

[chronotrig]

I'd like to apologize again for all these delays with EP8. The rough translation is complete for about a third of the game, but we've been having some issues cleaning the script up for a patch release.

Unfortunately, because of a certain feature early on in EP8 and the fact that save files don't transfer very well in Onscripter... It looks like we probably won't be releasing a 50% patch. A compatibility patch will hopefully be coming soon, covering the first 2 chapters, but probably no sooner than next weekend.

[Kishin]

Well it is a fan translation so nobody can blame u guys for personal qualms holding back the translation and any technical issues even moreso. Always appretiate the fact that I can know that even if it'll take a while it will get done. Great news that at least the compatibility patch could be done by next weekend and that the rough is a third through. Just gotta make sure to avoid spoilers for a while...

Spoiler for suggestion + ep8:

I'm not sure if I speak for everyone, but if save files are the problem could we remove/tell people not to save? You can always skip to the part you were before, and I as well as maybe some others probably play all of the game in 1 sitting (save for getting up to go to the bathroom and getting a snack) anyway.

And possibly removing choices/puzzles and putting out a patch for each ending (for 100% patch)? As a last resort? ... I guess?

But I'm not exactly sure what the problems are and I haven't even played ep 8 sooo yeah. feel free to ignore this post :V.

But hooray! first 2 chapters coming kinda sorta soon!!
Why can't I hold all this love for witch-hunt?
