ROM Hack ASH (archaic sealed heat) translation project

[neoseekersam]

Guess that the people who wasn't chosen means that they now got to wait until the Open Beta Patch then we can play xD

 

[Rayder]

I'm sure this goes without saying, but I hope this will be Portal news when the patch is finally released to the public.

 

[phoenixclaws]

It amuses me that this news made it to the portal page on DS-Scene.net. Just the fact that there is a finished patch although not yet released.

 

[DarkCrudus]

heh with the group of beta testers psycoblaster chose this could be very well released at the end of the month, perhaps early next month

 

[lonewolf80]

Let's hope so. I've been dying to try out all those games the game creators decided to make in Japanese and Korean and not translate it into English. I miss so many good titles because of that fact, and that fact alone.

 

[CrimsonRose]

>.< I can't wait for the patch. Ive been waiting since he announced that he was translating this game!!! Damn i wish i was a translator!!! Oh well. Beta testers do your best!!!

 

[Takanato]

Um, I have a question for my fellow beta testers of ASH. Have you heard from Psycho as yet because I have not for some reason. o.o

 

[Blaze163]

Nope. Not a word. Just waiting patiently. I'm sure we'll be contacted when we're needed. Until then I'm trying to fix my damn Cyclo. some of the folders are giving me trouble. so if you want something to do, help me fix my music folder

see cyclo boards for further details.

 

[Takanato]

No thanks, I just wanted to know if Psycho had forgotten me xD. I'll keep on playing Dungeon Fighter Online.
P.S. My DFO key is Tengoku.

 

[Lyomak]

Oh my god! Excellent work!

I can't wait to play it haha! Too bad I noticed late the beta testing.

(Finally a translation that's not about Pokemon HG SS) lol

 

[psycoblaster]

I'm setting stuff up... just wait
I'll PM everybody to inform everything when I'm ready.

 

[Blauhasenpopo]

Hello....

...thank you for your perfect work and the time you spent on this....
Is there anyone out there who translate 7th Dragon or is it already translated?

may it released in USA or Europe?

Well, I'll be waiting patiently until we can start with beta testing, so anytime you're ready. ~

If it's not too much of an intrusion, might I make a suggestion? In terms of checking for grammar and tweaking in the colloquialisms, would it be easier if the entire game script was dumped in a place accessible to all the beta testers wherein we can edit as needed [like googledocs]? I've been considering the process, and it seems awkward if looking for bugs is coupled with looking for grammatical errors. The way I picture it, I'll need pen and paper with me while playing to take notes, but perhaps that's just me. >>

I've already considered it, but I'm still thinking about how I should do this.
As explained earlier, I've tried using google docs last time, but it didn't work too well. However, everything was easy to see, because I was able to color code everything and organize stuff by simply copy and pasting...
If I create a new forum for this, then it takes forever to look through post, hard to "mark" the threads as "done" or "needs revision" etc

 

[Leamonde.Halcyon]

Well I suppose another possibility in that same line of thought is a wiki.

 

[Blauhasenpopo]

@psycoblaster


......maybe its the wrong Thread for my question(above) but can you please give me a hint (or answer) where i have to look for.


THX

 

[clegion]

why the question has nothing to do with the thread, the anwser is no

 

[welaeron]

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to use a shared document. 20 people modifying the same sentence, and not mentionning the fights about a translation...

May I suggest a bug reporting and tracking tool, like trac? ( http://trac.edgewall.org/ )
After all, we're going to work as a team on a same project, computer scientists will know what I mean

This way, we could all report bugs, typos, errors, etc on the same place. Psyco could still be the "lead" and be the one to decide which of our proposals to keep, and close each.

 

[phoenixclaws]

Yes, I agree that something like a bug tracker for individual problem areas is best. It would be difficult to run anything else due to the nature of free-form editing.

 

[steirina]

If we were going to use a shared document, I was thinking that we'd simply insert notes rather than deleting and replacing. That would be terrible to keep tack of.

How does the bug tracker work, though? I'm sorry to say that I've never encountered one, much less experienced using such a program.
