We have just released a teaser patch for another game I'm translating, Wanko to Kurasou.

*This patch translates all the text up to the opening video.
*This is a patch, so please make sure the game is installed on your machine before you run the patch installer.
*You need to tell the installer where the game is located if the game wasn't installed in the default directory
*This is not a mirror moon project

Well, another blog about eroge ^^
Haven't had much time to play eroges recently, finishing Heavens feel translation and trying to get Brass Restoration and all that... But here's a few I've played recently.

Chrono Belt: Ayakashibito and Bullet Butlers fan disc. Must buy if you're a fan of either one or both games. Super awesome action and battles! A much better fan disc then, say, F/HA ^^ Score: 9.5

G-Senjou no Maou: Very good game. The story felt a bit convenient at times, but the story is great none the less. It's one of those games where everything is so good that the small flaws become very apparent. Score: 9

Edelweiss: Now, this is a game where the flaws are overwhelmed by the good aspects of the game. The story is convenient again, but the comedy, the songs, and the scenario more than makes up for the flaws. But I'm also biased towards Overdrive ^^ Score: 9

Sekien no Inganock: The world atmosphere is great, as with the story. The art is... unique. Oh, but the Hscenes are worse than Kanon, and boy, that's BAAAAAAAAD. Score: 8.5

Ikusamegami Zero: Enjoyed the game, got addicted to it. But too much to go through the second time. Oh, and not enough loli Score: 8.0

Wizard's Climber: Played it over and over. A typical Soft house Chara game. Score: 8.0

Currently playing: Symphonic Rain: Depressing so far... I hear the ending is great, so I'll keep at it.

Here's some detailed current progress on the games I'm involved in.

Well, time for another blog post. What can I talk about... who am I kidding, eroge. So, I finished all the playable games I bought in Japan (Some games were unplayable on my system --;) So here's some of the good games I've played recently.

First of all, my personal #1 game of the year, KIRA KIRA!!
This game is fucking awesome and the OP is great, too. It's making me want to buy a guitar... おファック！

Another great game was Harukani aogi, uruwashino. A game with lovely atmosphere, and great characters, especially Miyabi (みやびちゃんぷりちー！)

Next, Koibito doushide surukoto zenbu. This game will literally make you cough up blood and lets you die of moe.

Then there's Fossette and Kono aozora ni yakusoku wo. I honestly think the game was overrated, but it was still good.

Then there's Daiakuji. Alicesoft games never fail to get me hooked, and this game succefully made me waste 100hours of my life. --;

There were other good games like StarTRain, 世界でいちばんNG（だめ）な恋, そして明日の世界より

I just wanted to keep a log of this since I want all the editor applicants to read this if they haven't yet. I also want to explain how we will be tackling UBW.

--------------------------------------------------------

A lot has gone on in the past week regarding the project. After going over the editor applications and a lot of talking between the staffs, we have decided that asking for outside editors is not a way to go. I am very sorry for wasting everyone's effort and time to apply. I cannot apologize enough.

To update people on what we are doing, we have decided that we would have rigorous testing after an initial light-editing phase.

--------------------------------------------------------

So our current plan is:
EDITED: Nov 12th

1. I edit the current text. (This is complete)
2. Tester (proofers) go through and recommend changes. I will look over the recommendations and make changes if I see the recommendations valid. (We are here right now)
3. Insert final version of text (This should take like an hour since it's automated)
4. Beta testing: testing installer (I say this could take couple days to around a week, depending on if bugs appear or not)
5. Release!

This will be short since I'm busy playing games (and will be for a while).

I went to Japan the past two weeks. Food, games, and shopping ^^
Went to Akiba, Oosu (Akiba equivalent in Nagoya), etc, etc.
Sorry, no news on UBW translation progress.

Manga/doujin I got
Games I got

I got tons of games which I need to play now ^^
It should take me a few months to finish all these...

Like the title says. It'll still need a lot of polishing, but half of the route is translated now. Day 14 is going to be a bi*ch because it's about a megabyte of text with 100kb of H --;
I've been getting a lot done recently since there's no net connection in my place now.

That's the good news, and now onto the bad news.
Expect a long time with no work since I'm going to Japan at the end of this month (for a week). I'm hoping I can at least buy half of the eroges I want to get. Playing them would kill at least a month!!

Anyone know of a good eroge I should buy in Japan?

Here's the current list of eroge I want to buy in Japan this trip.
Here is the games I've already played.

A lot has gone on since the first release of the FSN patch.
I would just like to apologize for the big mistake and a lot of the confusion.

First of all, I am very sorry. The spoiler mistake should have been caught before anything. I understand people who knew about the spoiler still wanted the patch nonetheless (when it was retracted). I thought that spoiling the people who didn't know was much more serious than people getting the patch a day or two early.
But with all that aside, the problem wouldn't have occurred if
I caught the mistake beforehand.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused anybody.

So I went to Sakura-con last weekend. (happening in Seattle WA for those of you who don't know)
This will most likely be a boring topic since I'm just gonna write what I did.

Anyways, it all started the day before the con. My biggest mistake was to accept a job as an exhibitor at the con. I thought it was going to be cool since I would get in free and get paid for being there. The (BIG) downside was that I missed pretty much all the cool panels/concerts happening at that time and I missed going around the exhibitor's hall since I was working the whole time it was open...

Friday: Parking sucked, as I looked for a spot for 30 minutes and finally found one about 20 minutes walk away. --; So I got there right as my work started. So I didn't get to do anything until my work was over, which was 6PM. Afterwards, I met up with Shinji, Misu, and Mouse, and this is when I found out I missed out from the exhibitor's hall as they got things that were already sold out. I bowed to go early the next day to raid what was left from the hendane booth.
The program also said that there will be Beatmania for 2 hours (This was what I was really looking forward to) in the arcade room. Before I go into this, let me describe what was in the Arcade hall this year. One Classic games collection, one old fighting game (vampire savior?), and that's all. YES, THAT IS ALL. Anyways, I found out beatmania got cancelled, so I went home pissed off...

Sat: Work yet again. But today, I went a bit early so I could look around the booth as they were setting up. I went straight for Hendane (eroge booth). To be honest, I was disappointed with the small selection. I was ready to buy lots of eroges too... Well, so I was pretty much forced(!?) to buy other games that weren't on my list of "to gets". Work followed thereafter. I had to work through the move concert... --;;;;
