So I did around 7 hours of live streaming anyway today (just finished now), and I can confirm it was a waste of time. During the stream I decoded the file system, the compression algorithm, and a couple of the text encodings; effectively extracting images, sound and text in editable formats. This stream represents about 35% - 40% of the whole project, meaning that in two more days the entire thing could be done. What would be left is adding support for the rest of text formats, and reverting the whole thing.

However, I say it was a waste of time because the was no audience: at no point there was more than a single spectator online at the same time, and I even lost subscribers and twitter followers during the stream! XD
Given the absolute lack of interest, please consider me, once again, out of the project.

Regards,

~Sky
Do you have the stream still?

Yes, it's on my YT channel, I'll delete them later today.
I had to answer a couple of phone calls, so I interrupted it twice, that's why there are 3 videos for it:

No interest? This game translation has been slog for how many years already? At best, the ones that are waiting for the patch check this forum thread once a week.
Those people probably don't sit on your twitter/tube/twitch/whatever. I know I don't. I don't even use twitter. Same with many others...
So the interest is there, but not at point where you will get 500000 viewers on whatever...

With this post you came off as one of biggest tools on the scene. With the "No views = no patch" thing...

Sorry to value my time. Also, there is a middle ground between 500000 views and 50 (specially after 24 hours XD). I have worked on dozens of projects and I know if they worth it or not, based on the impact they have on the media. This is not the case. There have been even cases of games I didn't even know and had such huge demanding that I ended up creating the tools for them, such as Corpse Party (now translated into Russian) and Dragoneers Aria (now in Spanish using my tools). Yes, those two had more expectations that GE2.

I have a lot of respect for you still @SkyBladeCloud but he has a point. Gbatemp is the best place for people to look for fan patches,hacks and translations. I understand you want viewers but coding is PISS boring, no one would watch for then a minute :wacko::wtf:. I don't doubt your skills just your integrity a little, If you really need support do some PayPal ish like a few other coders do. Regardless, I'm useless to the scene. I'm here for hand outs from more talented people like yourself dog :bow:.
Buuuut, maybe release that 35-40% tho :ninja::rofl2:.

Yea. Coding streams are crap to be honest. After watching one stream long ago where one of Minecraft devs was doing some coding, I understood that Im never gonna watch anyone stream coding. It was coma inducingly boring.

@SkyBladeCloud just wondering since you already done some work on it, if would it be possible for you to help the Kuriimu team work out on unpacking and repacking the archive since there is plans to undub the Vita ports as it's already complete localization-wise.

WTF I don't even know how to take that, LOL :rofl2:. Also, no, I don't need monetary support. I actually got the game and a PSP again, but not specifically to do the project. Granted, doing it the legal way would also require both Vita versions (EUR / JAP) as well as a (modified) Vita, but I'm not planning on getting those any time soon. That would be the only use of any possible donation for this project and IMHO their price greatly exceed the usefulness of a hypothetical patch anyway...

Buuuut, maybe release that 35-40% tho :ninja::rofl2:.

I might do it but after polishing it a little, gotta admit during the stream I was pretty hasty and don't like the result that much, even though it serves the purpose (specially extraction and decompression, which seem to work perfectly fine both), there is enough filed for improvement code-wise.
This is when a Open Source repository may come in handy...

@SkyBladeCloud You are the actual coder of the Patch if I understand ^^'
I think you are buzzy and you have to do other things than this patch
But please give me a little estimation of the progress of the patch .-.
(If I did some mistake in my reply, I'm sorry but I'm French and I don't speak english very well ^^')

@SkyBladeCloud Hows that open source repository going? Have you changed your mind on that and decided to finish it yourself? Also, your plan was just to translate menus/equipment/material related stuff right?

Monster Hunters arent about story and fans of the genere don't care about repetition. New gameplay additions, new enemies and new areas are what most of us want. All we need are menus, items and equipment translated for that.

That is weird thing to say for a guy with Monster Hunter Avatar... MH is basically the same, but I have thousands of hours on MH games. Tho God Eater is kinda worse for different reasons.

Yup. Because we did not give Sky enough likes and views. ...I wish I was joking.

Or... Because no one's payed me for it :D... Or.. because I don't really have a reason to hack the game for a third time,,, Or... whatever I choose within my full right to employ my free time as I consider fit.
In any case it's pretty lame to blame me for the death of a project that I didn't even start.
You know there are more people in these forums arms crossed, right? Anyone can learn, hack and translate it... Including yourself... Why haven't you done it?

Monster hunter is superior in everything. God eater is just medicore clone.

Actually this is a reason for not doing it!

What's your purpose? Are you trying to get him to not do the hack so he can hack something else? If so than just make your request and stop shitting on the progress of another hack. God eater is a good change of pace if you've played just about every Monster Hunter except frontier like myself.
