Weekly Update #9

I'm back, and my finals are over. Thank you all for wishing me good luck on them. I think I did well on all of them.

Summer break is here for me, so I can devote a constant amount of time each day to translating. I have high hopes of getting the project completed in the not-too-distant future.

As I thought I couldn't devote a lot of time into translation the past two weeks, but I have touched a few scenes, one of which goes into the premises behind the whole story.

I hope to update more frequently and with more substance for at least the next three months.

Weekly Udpate #8: Or the lack of.

Sorry, guys, this and next week is finals week for me as well as possibly a the earlier half of the following week.

I am translating a bit here and there when I get tired of schoolwork, but there probably won't be any significant progress in the next week or so.

I'm just dropping by to let you guys know that I am still alive.

Weekly Update #7

Hello again, everyone. Here with a new update.

Finally finished up that relationship script. It turned out to be quite enjoyable later on with some slight twists, but I'll let you all enjoy that when the patch gets released.

A lot of people have been asking for some numbers, and so here they are again:

1.91MB completely translated with 311KB being currently worked on, and there is 2.70MB left.

I try not to post these numbers since I personally feel like they are not a truly accurate portrayal of the progress I'm making.

Also, thanks to all those who are offering help, but I would like to keep the translation to myself to keep a thorough consistency throughout the whole game. I do know that it could maybe be a bit faster should I delegate some scenes to others, but that would also make incongruencies within the scripts. It's hard enough trying to keep the spelling, terminology and voices for each of the character the same even alone by myself, and I can't imagine what it would be like if there were many others translating at the same time.

Weekly Update #6

I finally got my new laptop, and it seems pretty good. The main thing I was concerned about was portability, and it has met my expectations, so I should be able to put in more time inbetween classes for translation.

I've been jumping all over scenes and haven't come across any one that is remarkable enough to be written about here. Oh, and I'm still fighting vigirously with that Issei-Mitsuzuri relationship scene, but I have made some progress on that also.

The first half of next week seems to be hectic for me, but I should have some free time in the latter half.

Oh, and I appreciate your thoughts and input in the comments page. Please feel free to tell me what you want to see in the entries and whatnot.

Weekly Update #5

Well, after wrestling pretty hard with that long scene about Issei and Mitsuzuri's possible dating, I've given up trying to finish it in one go. Instead I've been jumping from scene to scene, translating whatever my mouse pointer lands on first. This keeps me from burning out. I'm waiting to get some more transalted so that I can send a decent-sized batch to delta for editing and inserting. I'll see if I can get some new screenshots.

Weekly Update #4

Well, this scene involving Mitsuzuri and Ryudou's possible relationship is taking way longer than I thought it would. Even after spending few hours on it I'm only halfway through. Unfortunately last week I could not translate at all: school threw a lot more work at me than I expected. I have been more steadily translating now that I'm enjoying my spring break, however. Also I ordered a new laptop which should be more portable than the one I currently have. This should help in translating on the go when I have some free time between classes and whatnot.

Weekly Update #3

Well, since some people would like to know the percentage, I will post some numbers.

Here are the file sizes regarding the translation, but please bear in mind that they are a very rough estimate since there are many coding and not actual script included in the file sizes.

Currently I have completely translated 1.36mb. There is 368kb being translated right now with 3.13mb to go. I cannot gauge my weekly progress, but the last batch I sent to delta measured in at 313kb, majority of which I worked on throughout last week, and I hope to get another batch of everything that's being currently translated to him before the weekend is over. It's a bit of a farfetched goal, however. I have to say that my hopes and confidence get higher the more I translate.

Next week is the week before spring break for me, which means I have at least two tests, so there might not be too much translation work done next week, but I'll devote a lot of time to translating once the week of spring break comes.

The scene that I am working on right now as I type this post involves Emiya's visit to a track and field team's meeting. I gotta say that I didn't find this scene too interesting when I played through the game initially. I am almost done with the scene, but nothing significant or funny has happened yet.

Next I'm going to tackle my largest scene yet involving Emiya and track and field Trio (Makidera, Yukika and Himuro)'s speculation of possible romance between Issei and Ayako. I've gotten some headyway into it, and it seems like a promising scene in terms of comedic content and character development.
