Shion complete! Devils Devel Concept is a go!
Nephrinn :: Sunday Jun 21, 2009, 23:05
The final patch for Shion has now been released! It took about two months longer than I would've liked due to college and a distraction or two, but it's finished. The game was actually a lot better than I originally thought going in to it and surprsingly had a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments like the one above. It did a good job of meshing the lighter themes of romance and humor with the darker themes of lust and death, so check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Thank the people who commissioned Shion: pj1351, Darkfusion, ChaosDancer, Boerbiet, Taimanin_Usagi, BlackSphere, Moridin69, wishiknew, and xerxos. You are what made this possible.
As a token of my personal thanks, I'm giving the top commissioner for Shion (pj1351) any product from the English dlsite. Send me a PM of what you want and I'll get it to you asap.
I also want to announce the start of a brand new translation project: Devils Devel Concept! The game is a bit more mainstream and story-orientated than what I've done thus far, but I'm looking forward to translating it.
And as long as everyone is up for it, I'm willing to undertake a smaller project alongside Devils Devel Concept. Swiftnissity laid out a plan in the forums that I think will work best. Bascially, I divide the time each week between the longer and shorter project (3 a piece) and reserve the 7th day for whatever I wish. When the shorter project finishes, I can concentrate the rest of the time on the longer one before moving on to another set of projects. This way, the shorter projects don't get screwed/neglected.
The problem is how do I go about choosing the shorter project? To avoid making this more confusing than it already is, I think I'm just going to choose for myself what to work on. Everyone likes Asagi, so why not begin with Lilith-IZM 02? Thoughts?
Shion status update

The last person sent me a pending payment to paypal, so rather than making everyone wait 3-5 days for that to be processed, I'm going to trust that the payment gets sent and post the final patch for Shion tonight.
In addition, I will be announcing my next major project and the possibility of undertaking a smaller project alongside it.
That will all be tonight. For now, I rest.

Just want to let everyone know what's going on with Shion right now. As you may know, Shion is finished and I recently got done translating all the screens and checking my translation. Currently, I'm waiting on two people who agreed to pay $50 a piece before posting a patch. If you could, please PM me on an ETA for those payments so I can let everyone know when to expect a final patch.
In the meantime, I'm working on completing Blindfold Girl and gearing up for what looks to be translating Devils Devel Concept, which I hope to officially begin on Monday.
UPDATE: $100/$150 received. The last person notified me that it will be about 3-5 days before he can pay me, so please be patient until then.
Shion - Nearing completion!

You can imagine what happens to Wara Oda after. I swear he's a masochist or something. :P
I've got about 4,000 lines of work left, so the game should be about done in the next few days. I still have some post-work to do like checking back over my translation, translating the screens, and putting DarkFusion's edits into the game, but that shouldn't take more than a day.
There's still about $150 left with the commissions for Shion, so I won't be releasing a final patch until that's been covered. If you want to help out in finishing the commissions, go here.
After Shion, I'll be finishing up Blindfold Girl and likely moving on to the AIL game shortly thereafter.
Also, unless I hear back from Saber, I can only assume he's no longer interested in translating Lunatics and the project will be canned. I haven't been able to contact him on AIM or through email.
Shion progress......

"Bad" ending is now finished. :) I'll be starting on the "happy" ending tomorrow, beginning with the fight scenes and the slew of H-scenes afterwords. I'm also very curious to know what happens at the very end.
Shion progress......

I'm putting in some extra time to finish up Shion and am currently almost done with the "bad" ending. After that there's a whole slew of H-scenes for the "happy" ending before I'm done. All in all I have 1-2 weeks of work left depending on how much extra time I can put in.
As I reminder, Shion still needs $180 in commissions for a final patch. See this thread for more information.
And with Shion about finished, now is the time to start throwing in commissions for the game you want to see translated next. Currently, AILsoft's Watashi no Shiranai Mesu no Kao is in the lead at $650 in commissions.
Shion progress.......New Dlsite Winner!

Translating some really fun parts now as I reached the first H-scene in quite a while. Definitely one of the hottest scenes I've seen so far and the way Shion and Yukiko resist is a thing to behold.
And since dkoor never responded to the dlsite giveaway, I pulled out another name from the bag. The winner is.............
Professor Dog!
Send me a PM in the forum about which product you want from the English dlsite and I'll get it to you asap.
