Metal Max 4 Gekkou no Diva translation project

[Lakum]

Any further news about it?

 

[Paralel]

From speaking with the project lead, I was told a few weeks ago that the main translator stopped communicating, and that the translation was 90% complete. At that time they were looking for someone to help them complete the last 10%. So, it would appear that it is stalled.

Could you as if they can release the 90% patch for now?

I can say with certainty that the team lead would never let an incomplete patch be released. It will either get finished, or it will never see the light of day. They usually do an open beta test once the patch is considered feature complete in order to find any edge case bugs. This has been done with their previous translations.

The team lead indicated just last night that an announcement on the state of the MM4 translation will be made soon.

He also said that they are in need of some help from the community and will provide details on that soon as well.

As I mentioned before, if anyone wants to help out or wants to get the latest information that will be provided soon, please consider joining the Discord server:

Here is the latest from the project:

Ok I've finally found some time to do this, I'm so sorry I know many of you are waiting for fresh news about our Metal Max 4 translation, it's been a complex year for the project, maybe this isn't the best news or what you expected, but it is what it is.

The whole process of translating MM4 is quite a challenge, the game is the largest, probably the one with the most text in the saga, it also has the cinematics that we must translate and subtitle, all this in addition to the code modifications, graphics and others, It leads to tons of work that falls on the shoulders of a few, I think that to finish this project we will need more support from the community so I ask for your help and cooperation to try to solve the problems that delay and overwhelm us.

The hacking front is quite advanced thanks to the incredible abilities of <A member of the translation team> so we had that covered for now.

We continued working on the project but with no doubt the pace has slowed down for many reasons, <Another member of the translation team> did a great job translating the texts, but was unable to continue after we reached 91% completion, since then we have been trying to find a translator reliable and constant to finish translating, I must say unsuccessfully sadly.

The main fronts we're having trouble on right now are getting the translation of the script and in-game cutscenes completed and getting someone with the expertise to edit the subtitles once translated (Knowledge of Anime Fansub would help)

This is where the help of the community comes in. We asking you guys that if you don’t have the skills or the time to help yourselves just spread the word and if you know someone willing to help just DM me [on the Discord server] or let us know in any way. Any help, however small it may seem, will always be greatly appreciated. We count on you all.

Just to let everyone know, the project is not dead. It is moving along. A few things remain, such as polishing the script, and some graphics work. So, things are getting closer to the finish line. So, don't lose hope!

I don't know if I'm allowed to comment on that yet. I'd have to ask the project lead first.

A update for everyone:

"The script was ~9x% complete, and it was recently brought to 100%, for the text that was known. The subtitles were also completed. However it was discovered that some text was not translated because it was hiding in a specific binary file. Working with that binary file is very difficult, so that additional text will be translated, it's just going to be more difficult. Also, a number of graphics still need to be completed.

I would say it's possible to play the entire game, as well as all the DLC, all the way through if one only understands English with the entire plot completely comprehensible, but there is still a bunch of work that needs to be done for it to be 100%.The project lead only believe in releasing things that are 100%, so it won't be available until we get to that point.

All the text that remains in that binary would need to be translated and the graphics completed for it to be considered beta at that point. As it stands how I would say it's at the final alpha stage."

Another update for everyone:

"Everything is in place to finalize to get the script 100%+ in the next few months, and then the only thing left will be finalizing the graphics. So we are solidly on track for a 2025 beta, and fingers crossed, release"

 

[Hitonari]

So excited for this one! Keep up the good work, you guys are awesome.

 

[Kithrene_D_Litre]

I'm more hyped for this game's translation patch getting released than I am for any new full game that AAA studios want me to be hyped for...

How are we looking as of now?

Unfortunately, there has been a substantial setback. Originally things got bumped back to "Q1 2026", but now a critical server failure has pushed thing to "?" being tied to the restoration of the functionality of the server that died
