We're not close to done yet. I've been busy the past week so I haven't been able to get to scripts at the moment. We'll be done when we're done, so please be patient!


Are you and FShadow planning on working on this alot during Summer or are you going at your own pace? Im just curious is all because its always important to not rush these things.Fans are second when it comes to these types of things, the only thing that matters is doing it the way you want it.

Things have been rather slow lately, unfortunately. The project isn't done, but it's not dead either. I wrote a basic script viewer to help with the script revision process. It takes an input file and displays it in a textbox similar to how it would appear in-game, without any characters or animation.

I'll probably update first post of the thread with more detailed measures of progress. In the meantime, here's a screenshot of my script viewer in action:


How is progress guys. This is one i have been looking forwards too!

I realized how long it's been since I last posted here, so I thought I'd pop in and give a bit of an update. Progress is still slow, unfortunately. However, since the last time I updated the first post, we've reached 50% completion for the first revision of the story scripts, and just over 20% completion for the second revisions.

Revising/localizing the scripts is one of the most important parts of this project, since the story places a greater focus on comedy than plot substance. So, if we don't take our time and make sure that all the jokes translate well, the story mode will unfortunately end up as a bland and visual novel. I appreciate you all's patience, and will keep you up to date with any significant progress as it is made.

Thought I'd pop in and update a bit too! It's partially my fault that things have been going so slow lately. I had a big move and had to get registered for college and sort all that out, so sorry about all that.

I'll try my best to get back into the swing of things and go back to working when I can, but I can't make any promises that it'll be too soon depending on how things go. ^^;

Would it be possible to provide me the Image Tool or at least the sprites for the characters of the game? I need to use it for something that is not related to this project at all and I would really appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance :)

While I don't have any real knowledge of Japanese, I do know English well and just finished reading the Baka and Test light novel series, I'd be willing to try to help with the localization process. Unfortunately I'm not very good with forum interfaces so I don't actually know how to PM (or maybe I don't have the authorization yet?).

Thanks, but all i see is profile, follow, ignore :( I just got authorization to even post on the boards an hour ago, so maybe it's 'cause I'm so new :(

Er... I'm not in the position to say anything about the progress. All I did was helping out a fellow gbatemper with translation of a small segment scripts. My main project is something else. From what I recall, they need more native english speakers and someone who's familiar with the humour of this anime to localize the scripts properly.

After a while of delay, the project is regaining a bit of traction. User scragged has joined the team to help revise the scripts, and I've managed to complete Revision 2 of Mizuki Himeji's story sequence. Sorry this project is taking so long, but I'm dedicated to putting out the best possible product, so it should definitely be worth the wait.

Unfortunately, I don't really have any screenshots to show right now, since everything at this point is pretty much just script revision, but I might try to post a couple interesting lines of dialog later on.

I was wondering if you still needed localizers, I'm well versed in english and am a pretty big fan of Baka and Test. I wanted to PM FShadow but I had the same problem another user did where I can't PM.
