My guess is that if there's no news, that's good news. xP
From what I recall, Densetsu is just checking and editing anything that was misplaced during the translation or something... Anyways, the project is pretty advanced or something and after they finish what's left there'll be testing for a few months or something... In most translation projects, if people don't post something it means everything is going smoothly and no problems are being encountered or whatever. =3

I do have some semi-bad news and some good news.

The semi-bad news is that DS1's DS fell and broke, so it's permanently out of commission. Since editing the story text requires playing the game at the same time for context, this means is that I'm the only one left to edit the story text. It's only "semi-bad" news because it's not devastating to the project. I just feel more bad for DS1 than anything. By the way, DS1 pretty much singlehandedly translated most of the story text, so major kudos to him :bow:

The good news is that the story translation edits are more than halfway done, and with spring break coming up for me next week I hope to get a good amount of editing finished this month. I'm working as fast as I can to get the story translation finished so that we can start beta testing.

The vast majority of the non-story text (menu text, equipment, weapons, armor and their descriptions, etc.) were already translated long before I joined the project, but we'll edit those during beta testing. There are something in the vicinity of 1500 items and item descriptions to go through, and I don't want to delay beta testing any longer than we have to.

Does he need a replacement DS? If so can we take up a donation for it or something of the sort? I mean I have an old blue one laying around here if he needs it, it's his.

I really appreciate the sentiment, as I'm sure DS1 will when he sees your post

But I won't be handling donations for this project, monetary or otherwise. If you really want to offer your DS to him, feel free to send him a PM and see what he says.

I have a question? who will you pick for the lucky "bug hunters"? aka beta testers....I been working with a massive amount of Dev teams testing their IOS games and was just curious how it would be to test a translated ds game...im sure since im not the most active here that I dont have a shot in hell and I fully respect that ...but if you want references from any IOS dev teams ...to see a link to my beta group, ....or a list of games I tested....pm me....Im not trying to give ya a song and dance just to get your patch btw...just a part-time beta tester who would put a decent amount of effort in helping you test your patch which I have been supporting since day 1! either weay best of luck and thanks for your work and time !

If beta testers are needed I'd be more than happy to test it, as I have the tools needed for screen shots etc etc. Besides since I work from home all I have is time.

I thought the beta testers had been all pretty much selected at this point.

I don't believe they have been. We're going to go through the list and select testers once editing is done. People who got chosen will know via PM when we do choose

I'd love to test it too, is it okay to shoot a video of it for the thread if I record it?

iggloovortex · Mar 11, 2012

lol wait. let us not revive the flood of "applcations" that i started before. let the team choose if and when to start "accepting applications"

Sylar1 · Mar 11, 2012

I'd like to beta test it, but honestly i would be doing it just to play it, i wouldn't be taking screenshots or videos.

In hindsight i may not be the best choice.

Verdugo DM · Mar 11, 2012

Great job guys, cant wait to see this finished!!!

Clydefrosch · Mar 12, 2012

im really curious about playing this once, but im not sure if i'll still have a ds when this finally is released xD

sllp2020 · Mar 14, 2012

thanks guys for the hard work i have question how good this game ?

Schezo92 · Mar 14, 2012

Just Another Gamer · Mar 14, 2012

Awesome can't wait for this to be released

sorry about that, i just thought after all these years someone already made a patch,they started it right? then y not finish it?

See the thing people don't realize is that any game (especially an RPG) takes a lengthy time to get to the state where it's polished. You have to go through the arduous tasks of dumping the script, getting someone to translate it, probably double check the translations, edit the script, and hack the game to display the new text. Each step, maybe asside from dumping the script depending on how the game was made, takes a really long time. 2+ years is around the time I'd guess to be able to make a really polished translation. And the few groups that manage to finish their projects, make some amazing quality work.
But anyways, as always, keep up the good work members of the team.

Not at all, all you do is extract all the text

translate it all

then just push the button that puts all the text back in the game translated

It only takes a couple of weeks man.
