When will you be posting a beta? Or are you going to wait until the whole game is translated? O_O
We are not sure yet please be patient and refrain from making comments like this. The beta will come, when it comes.

We have only just begun, with time we will announce when the release date for the final, beta or whatever it is later.

Thank you guys for attempting this hard work.

I have unlocked the Gallery Section of the game and I checked the character concepts.
The name of the blue haired guy(fighters childhood friend) is written in English as "Hatch" on his character concept art.

I have a humble explanation to this situation.

It's very common in Korean language to add a vowel at the end of a foreign name because of Korean languages grammatical structure to make it easy for Koreans to pronounce it easily. This is probably why it was written as "Hechi". It is actually Hatch with an "i" attached to it's end.

Thanks for the support guys!

TIME FOR ONE MORE UPDATE:
-Translated over 33% or so of the game.

No joke, we are making very fast progress. Tho most of that came from easy things like naming equips, items, the menu etc. There are still some things that need to be translated there, but I'll update the game as fast as I can to match the speed of the translators.

Now its onto the harder stuff, such as the story.

NOTE TO TEAM TRANSLATORS:
Please complete chapter titles, equips, item descriptions, map names etc. first! Worry about story later.

Some Screens:
Title1.jpg
So, left image:
-Assuming there is no screen before that one, that's an improper use of "Than". Shouldn't it be "Then"?

Middle image:
-Looks good to me. Simple-mindedness might be more suitable, but without the dash and just a space looks good.

Right image:
-Assuming there is no screen before that one, that "Ah" is kinda unnecessary.

Keep up the good work, it looks good so far!

I personally think so.

Right?
Nah, project threads don't really need to be stickied. If they're popular, they stay near the top of the forum anyway.

Oh yeah, I totally understand that, but I'm just helping them make it the most professional translation possible.
