Hacking Digimon World Re:Digitize - Translation

[Dart6672]

If we published today, everything in the menu is done, and about the first fourth of the game is in pretty close to ready to release shape. Technically, we have at least a first draft on everything, but a lot of it isn't particularly pretty to read since the first draft was mostly done by Romsstar, who isn't a native English speaker. We also haven't put much priority on the NPCs yet, figuring the story is more important, so most of those are only rough translations, but we've got at least a first draft on all of those too. We're pretty sure we'll be done before Xmas, but I wouldn't want to call that a promise.

If you want I could help with the English structure, I'm a creative writer and may be able to assist where needed though I would just require the base script since its kinda hard to download stuff since I'm a capped user

That wouldn't be a problem, the script totals in the tens of megabytes. If you'd like to try out, contact me on Skype at sporkymcforkinspoon.

Will do in all honesty this runs among the lines of my family "If you want something to come your way faster you have to work for it"

 

[GamerzHell9137]

So... silent here. Any updates?

 

[Sporky McForkinspoon]

Not in the short term. I've been busy with midterms and Romsstar finished his thesis today. He'll be back to working on this tomorrow, and I'll be back next week. Our editors can't work unless we prepare things for them, and so there's been a bottleneck while we've been busy. It's coming along though, and we're still on track to be finished by the end of the year.

Its like you don't want to know that.

Well, it takes too much effort to read a couple posts before asking stupid questions.

Whos currently still working on it?

Whos currently still working on it?

Quite a few people. Romsstar is our main translator, though I do some of that work as well. CompCom and StorMyu do most of the programming, though Romsstar helps out there as well, though the programming is basically done unless we find bugs, and we haven't in a few months. At the moment, the rough translation is done and we're editing that into natural sounding English. I've ended up more or less in charge of that, and so I, our three talented editors Kalker, Darian, and Raitei, plus Romsstar, who is the most multitalented member of the team are all working on editing. At this point, a bit over half of the story is in pretty close to they way it will look on release, and about one fifth of the NPCs and sidequests are as well.

Look at the blog, they're almost done!
Hopefully we can play the game before christmas! (just a guess though)

Many of us have been waiting for this game for about 13 years or something, so a couple of months more don't really matter for me
But if you really want to play the game, it's been out on japanese for a long time now

Around or before Christmas is the plan. I appreciate you saying you don't mind the wait though. Everyone on the team works hard, but most of us have AFK commitments. A new editor (Skeleklin) applied last week, and she is scarily fast. In two days she edited the entire story. The main hold up now is that I haven't had time to read her edits. Once I've done that, we just need to iron out the NPCs and the Colosseum. Plus testing, of course. Still, we're very close.

If you fellows need another set of hands, I got laid-off a month ago and have nothing but free time. I can help proof-read and/or edit. I have held both editorial and writing positions (about 3 years total experience).

I'm looking for something to reignite my passion for writing and Digimon is definitely something I can get behind. PM me if you are interested.

[Krobelus]

I'm glad to see you guys are still working on this. Typically when a project that aims to be released at 100% is started, they tend to die off which is disappointing because then since there haven't been any releases, it's as if it never existed. But happy to see updates still coming out. Keep up the great work guys.
