Tsukihime. Also, please be aware that this type of question is on the "sick of being asked" list.

Anonymous asked:

Do you like NTR? Like, if there is a yukikaze edition where they cut out Tatsurou and just have her get raped silly with no cuckening happening, would you like it more or less than the NTR version?

I'm fine with it. An NTR-free version of Taimanin Yukikaze would be virtually the same. TY2 would suffer, because it would suddenly be a pretty mundane training game, free of any kind of edge or drama.

Yes, although I now post status updates on Twitter as a backup.

No.

if not where do they get their information.

Anonymous asked:

Which Taimanin "sub-heroine" do you think should get their own solo game? Sakura is a long time coming, but I would also be interested in seeing Rinko get her own game.

I don't know about Sakura. She seems like she's designed to be a secondary heroine, getting it worse than the main character and ending up more broken, as they tend to. The logical answer would be Asuka, since she was being set up as a de facto successor to Asagi before they retconned which ending was canon.

Do you think these goddamn gacha companies are ever gonna go back to developing the games and worlds that their gacha girls are based on? I can only enjoy hentai with plot in it and lately only manga has delivered

Only if the gacha games fail. Empress tried to jump on the bandwagon, but they had no centralized setting, gimmick or draw, apart from "Sei Shoujo did the art, and it somehow didn't take him twenty years". As a result, it got lost in a sea of other generic gacha games, and they were forced to start making VNs again.

Anonymous asked:

How time-consuming is the proofread phase? I imagined proofreading 30% of a short visual novel would only take a couple of hours at most, but this phase seems to drag on for weeks like the other phases. How does that work?

You would think that, but it's proved not to be a good idea. Underestimating the amount of time to do editing and proofreading was one of the key reasons why my first version of Taimanin Murasaki was so poor: I got impatient and tried to rush things, and I somehow ended up introducing plenty of mistakes as a result.

Over time, I've been putting more and more concentration into proofreading, because it's my last chance to catch errors and inconsistencies before the full release. You would think it would be as simple as playing the game, but you actually have to read every line a bit more slowly, and with heavy concentration. You're looking for typos (and spelling inconsistencies); potential lines skipped by the engine; sentences which avoidably don't flow well; phrasing which could be easily misinterpreted; and things which made sense when looking purely at the script, but turn out to be wrong (voice acting that changes the interpretation of a pause, avoidable inconsistencies between the details as written and their depictions in the CGs, plurals or singular nouns that should be the other way around, etc.). I say "avoidable" because sometimes the CGs are just wrong (which happens a spectacular amount in this particular game), or you need to keep something that sounds awkward in order to preserve a nuance, or to make sense of a later line that explicitly references it.

All of that sounds complicated, but it really just means that I have to pay close attention in case I miss anything (or worse, introduce anything). I did the whole of TA3 in about 3 weeks—which, these days, is how long I would spend on a sixth of a game its length. I have a horrible feeling that my rapid proofreading probably did some damage to TA3 in places, and I'm going to need to re-edit it at some point to compensate. For that matter, if my chronological mod of TY2 hadn't required me to proofread twice, I would have completely missed a line in which I had Kuroi refer to Rinko as "Rinko-nee". That wasn't in the script, but it survived three whole phases of scrutiny because I was so used to reading it that my brain just glossed over it. I want to avoid missing things this obvious, and time is the unfortunate sacrifice for that.

Has TABA died yet, or why is it still clinging itself onto a thread of pity life?

It died three years ago. They tried to keep it going, but they clearly had all their resources tied up with RPGX at that point.

Anonymous asked:

How difficult is the whole process of translating these types of games? Is it more tedious or complicated to do so? Is it easy for someone to do it or does it take a lot of knowledge and experience to do?

I'd say it's easy, but most people fail because it's also extremely boring. It can be complicated if there are some kind of obnoxious engine problems, but most of the games I've dealt with have been quite straightforward once you crack them open.

Is there any other IPs out there that shares some similarities with the Taimaninverse?

That really depends on what similarities you're looking for. Across the various branches, there's everything from ryona, torture and snuff, to basic degradation and netorare, to vanilla harem scenes. The easiest course of action would be to look up the games on VNDB (or their CG sets on a hentai image site), and browse through the tags you're interested in until you find something similar.

Hi, sorry to bother you, I'm having issues with Diviner Knight Towako Animation, and you are the only "VinosWinPlayer" expert I know.

When I try launching it, I get the following error message: "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or a non-white space character among the padding characters"

I tried downloading the game again, and it worked the first time I launched it, only to display the same error thereafter. Yukikaze 2 the animation which is also VinosPlayer still works fine.

Any ideas on what could be the cause or solution? I already tried disabling my anti-virus, and google is full of coding talk.

Thanks for all the work you do, also.

This is the first time I've heard of this problem occurring. Vinos seems to simply not work for a lot of people, and there's no clear reason why. Assuming that you've already put your system into Japanese locale, perhaps it's the result of some path or file name getting screwed up. A lot of my Google results appear to revolve around encryption keys, so maybe the encryption key for the data file is being misread.

I want to learn how to translate visual novels, how can I learn about this? Is there a tutorial online? I know I should master Japanese first, I'm already working on it, but how about the programming stuff? Such as editing and patching?

First of all, check out what's left of TLwiki. It may be somewhat out of date, but it can at least point you in the right direction when it comes to how to work with files. There are general-purpose programs such as GARbro that can unpack most games, but the tricky thing is finding an application that will repack those files into a useable patch. Depending on the engine, there may or may not even be such a program. There are many situations where an engine has no available tools, and you're simply screwed. Sometimes you can get the engine to accept raw files, but not always.

If you can get a workable script, all you need to do is open it in Japanese encoding and edit the thing. I have never needed to use a hex editor or anything like that, but I hear there are cases where you would.

why do you hate mama wa taimanin

I don't hate it per se. It's simply not a Taimanin game. It's a domestic-setting straight shota game that they tried to cram Taimanin stuff into to make it sell more.

why you do think hentai (ero anime) is declining (I hope this isnt too broad of a question).

No idea, but the answer is probably money.

Do you think Lilith will release "conventional" visual novels in the future or will they stick to gachas like Taimanin RPGX and Action Taimanin?

I think everybody who would normally write the VNs is too busy with RPGX. They would have to invest some of their money into hiring more writers, so they can free up their creative staff—but if they're going to do that, why wouldn't they put it into RPGX instead, since that makes a whole lot more?

Hello, I hope you're doing well. Just wanna say thanks for your work translating all these games, it's awesome to see. So much so that I was inspired to try making my own translation mod. The game I am trying to make a translation for is running on the Artemis engine and I can see you make your own .pfs patches, so I would like to ask if you are able to share the tools you use to make these patches with me. It would be a huge help as I'm still learning and so far I have not been able to properly make my own patches.

Any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks for your time. Respect.

Here's what I used. Also, please tell me what game it is, in case of conflicts. I happen to know that Seigi no Henshin Heroine wo Sasaeru Ore to Aku no Onna Kanbu is still being worked on by somebody else. I also have one Lilith Artemis engine game fairly high-up on my list, so I need to know if it's still going to be an option going forward. I'm starting to really run out of good prospects.

What your opinion on Rinko and Real as a "couple" in the bad endings of TY1? Personally, I prefer Real as Rinko's "master", as opposed to Kuroi, who I felt should have been the focus villain in Yukikaze's routes. I hope that Real makes a return in TY3 (if it ever gets made) as the main villain for Rinko's route.

It would have been better if there were any real buildup to it. As it is, it felt kind of hollow to me.
