With only a month of Global RPGX left and not much to talk about, I thought I'd ask for some opinions. I got it into my head that I could use AI to add nipple bulges to some RPGX characters, to match the original sprites, which I want to use instead of their censored versions. I find the weird, featureless breasts distracting, since I know there's supposed to be something there. I tested the idea on Hebiko, and this is the best result I managed to get.

On a scale from Murasaki to Ayame, I would say the distinctness of the shape is pretty far up there. I was going for something along the lines of Zero Sakura's outfit, where areolae can be seen. That detail is still upheld in the Zero Asagi/Sakura scene, where supposedly all that Sakura has changed is her mask and colour scheme. What I am inferring from the context of that scene, and certain other scene CGs, is that for some characters, the nipple bulges have been there all the time, but we (the audience) haven't been able to see them in the worksafe content.

I was thinking of making things like these an optional extra, but it's proving not to be worth the effort, and I'm not sure if I'm happy with the result. I'm concerned that they look unnatural, or too prominent, compared to basically everyone except for Zero Sakura and Ayame. Asagi's, by contrast, are usually subtle bulges. These are verging on just being purple nipples, and I'm about ready to call the experiment a failure.

This is honestly the least important thing I could be doing for RPGX, but thinking up stupid bonus features is how I get my kicks these days.

Would you like to translate Lune VN?

The genre of their release look like Lilith

I don't have any particular ones in mind, but I think it's a possibility.

Random question but do you ever feel nostalgic for the late 2000s/early 2010s? Frutiger aero, steve jobs, and unironically using social media?

I mainly miss television being watchable, and Internet culture being under the control of a few selected websites, rather than being open to everyone and degrading to the level of the lowest common denominator.

I do hate the modern flat look that we're thank God moving away from now; I always hated social networks; and I liked Steve Jobs, but only really miss his presentations. At least when he went, he exemplified all of his own ideals, in that he was thin, light and biodegradable.

Is there a particular position you tend to take when masturbating to porn?

Yes. When I'm really going at it, I become staunchly of the opinion that we should set fire to the Dutch. But then post-nut clarity always sets in before I get to writing my manifesto.

Putting aside the lack of time, have you ever thought of making your own visual novel instead of translating them? You seem to be at the very least good enough with programming and from what I can gather from some of your answers to these questions, you are creative too.

As for the pictures, I don't know if you can draw. I guess even sticks figures could be enticing enough if the text is well-written.

I've had some vague, undeveloped ideas over the years, but I'm not likely to do anything with them. I've never been good at storytelling or characterization. Also, I actually can't code or program at all. Every time I've had to modify a game, it's been accomplished through logical deduction, rather than knowing what the hell I'm doing. I've essentially just gotten lucky multiple times in a row.

Would you be willing to translate NTR homestay 2? The first one was translated and heard this one is possible to translate too.

I guess I could, but I thought somebody was doing that already. Maybe I was mixing it up with the first one.

Was the internet a mistake?

No, but letting normal people on it sure was. It used to be basically a zoo for crazy people. Groups like furries or Juggalos could do their own thing unimpaired, and everyone else would just point and laugh at them. Now that everything's centralized, it's like they've taken down the fences, and all the impressionable people mingle with the animals until they become a de facto part of the exhibit.

Would you say you tend to enjoy eroguro?

Sometimes, but it depends on how it's done. I don't care all that much for cannibalism, for instance, because it's repetitive. If you've seen one roasted human torso, you've seen them all.

Could you try to translate the gyakushuu series or are the genres too weird?

That depends on whether it's possible to work with the engine or not. I'm certainly not going to say no to anything content-wise. I would say there's a decent chance, comparatively.

I know this is a fairly long shot, but I'm looking for a scanned/digital copy of any of the Taimanin RPGX "Character Visual Book" volumes that they put out at Comiket (not the Character Collection). I only need them because they have official transliterations of character names, so I'm not willing to pay the seventy-to-eighty dollars each that it would take to get them shipped to me off eBay. If anyone can provide me with a copy, or even just a list of official names, I would appreciate it.

It's not a huge deal, but otherwise, I'll have to stumble my way through the inconsistent mess of assumptions and localizations that are out there, as well as do some outright guessing myself. I was thinking of deferring to the official translations for consistency, and then I realized that they still transliterate Anje as Ange or Angers, despite it having been spelled out right in front of everyone in 2019:

what is your opinion on non-blood related incest.

Kind of pointless. It's like a vegan barbecue.

Anonymous asked:

Which Lilith villain would you rather be stuck in an elevator with?

Probably one of Bogan's top men. I bet one of them knows how to fix an elevator.

Out of the mainline Taimanin, which one would you prefer having as a roommate?

Sakura is the one who sounds like she would be the most fun to have around. Vice versa, Yukikaze would be a real pain in the ass to live with, and you would be praying for the next undercover brothel assignment, just to get rid of her.

Hi Rattan, could you put the RPGX scenes you've translated during the last two Christmases in the completed patches page? It'll be easier for readers to find them, we won't have to click on the more posts button again and again.

I'm trying not to draw too much attention to them, for aforementioned reasons. If nothing else, you can always find them by searching, by sorting my Twitter feed by Media, or by looking through the December archives on the sidebar.
