This is what editing is, guys. Controlling for grammar, structure, and content. I didn’t mean to be mean - I was attempting to help. I will stick to not helping in the future, and my apologies if it felt like I was imposing on you or criticizing your work. I am aware it is not near completion, and that quality will improve over time.


As for the last comments, those are very nice facts - they should be in the text. Even if it’s clear what’s going on in the game, if the text doesn’t coincide with that, it’s going to seem confusing.

I will restrain my comments from now on to general encouragements, unless asked to respond to something in particular.
it wasn't about that.
As far as the game's opening goes, that's literally how it's supposed to be. The reason it's not in it, is due to some space issues, you can't really go and say
"hey, instead of earth, we live on Jigu, also elements just up and turned into monsters, etc.,"
Those facts are to be known before you play the game, because the game came out after the animoo.
if you want to edit, then talk with Noitora first, if he accepts you, then you can go in and edit, on the spread sheet.
the main point of those screens, is to show that yeah, work is being done. Not, "hey this is our finished product lolz"
the reason i even re-wrote the opening, was so that it would be easier to edit, not to say "it's complete."
This is all for future reference.

Our editor hasn't started working yet and I decided to start editing the text myself :3
Does it look bad?

Edit: Dammit, my character's hair look girlish :|

Advice I learned from my first translation project - DAILY BACKUPS. Hopefully whatever you were using keeps some old versions (I’m assuming you were using an online collaborative spreadsheet).

Thanks for deleting some old translations from the spreadsheet you moron, they were used as a reference to the new translation.

Next time you do something like that I'll post your full name, street address or whatever.
wait when the f*** did this happen?
Yesterday probably.

The old Japanese sheet got vandalized, not the one we are working on now.

whoa nice, i played this before with the trans but stopped due to unable to follow the line of the story, and even then it was very very fun

so for clarification, your old sheet meaning the old trans progress got deleted?

Nah, I think an actual translation to "Earth" is better, as I see that many people are finding the term a bit ambiguous. It's the same thing as calling a pecil a yunpil just because that is how it is pronounced in Korean :\
It's just my personal opinion :|

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
