ROM Hack [Project] The Great Ace Attorney (Dai Gyakuten Saiban) Fan Translation

[alter_eigo]

I didn't ignore it, I just didn't understand why you chose Naruhodou when the name box is Naruhodo. You could have just posted that screenshot in the first place instead of being a dick, which you continue to be.

Cutting in here. There has been numerous questions like yours posted to the team. Most of them has come off as a thinly disguised challenge/nitpick asked in the same tone, and it's getting really silly to have to give reasons every time someone asks, who then press further. We have numerous translators in here. We do discussions. If we find that something is not suitable, we change it. Please respect our decisions. We're not doing it blindly, nor disregarding the materials given without reasons.

And again, I was asking out of genuine confusion and not understanding because I did not understand why you guys made that decision. I wasn't trying to "question your decisions" I just didn't understand.

I fully understand where you're coming from. Once again, it's getting overly silly to explain at each and every turn. Translations aren't always clear cut, and it might seem from your pov that Naruhodo was the correct translation, given the name text. However, after looking at the kanji and the initial introduction, we decided to stick with dou, since that particular pronunciation was more accurate.

When I say 'respect our decisions', I do kind of mean it as 'don't try to question too much'. We get these questions way too often, and replying to each and every one of them like this takes time to explain and go through, which isn't our main objective here.

Sorry to int-erupt this disagreement but @Uwabami @xz11 or any other team member do you guys plan on doing the same translation for DGS2 once that comes out?

 

[Uwabami]

I think it's very telling of this community that we work our butts off and even make this video with our blood, sweat and tears - and the only reply is "MUH, why are you calling him NaruhodOU"?

Let's cross that bridge when we get there. We haven't even released Episode 1.

Dude I was just asking a question and the fact that you continue to act rude about it tells more about your professional behavior, and lack thereof, than it does anything about me.

Ok just wondering. Thanks for not saying no though

Look, a video!



Happy Anniversary, Ace Attorney!

Here are some screenshots. We fixed up that font.

Spoiler: WARNING - POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS FOR CASE 1

Soon™...?

Hey! That looks so good! But tbh I think that "Sir!" graphic should be updated with the new font. Here's the new font:

(Sorry for no PNG and/or shadows)
It's actually updated, it contains Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice's new letters like the S in caps or G in caps and it's actually better.
And BTW, I think the size of the font from the namw of the character should be bigger(idk if u can do that).

Please put that in a spoiler tag

We're quite happy with the graphic, actually. Why are people only nit-picking everything we do? I worked very hard on the new font...

Wow, I'm just flashed by how accurate and well done this translation looks!

Honestly, thank you for taking your free time to give us the chance to enjoy this game. I'm sure everybody here is feeling the same gratefulness towards the work you do.

 

[Feroz El Mejor]

OMG! Thank you people for that video!! I really want to play the game right now, I'm totally hyped, please don't take really seriously the TM from Gateway and bring it for christmas or something

In the video, when Naruhodo puts his hands under his neck to think, his eyes are darting/wandering around so to speak. But I never see him do this in the game. Does this mean we can control what parts/which animations play and who does what?
Like can Naruhodou use Asougi's animations or are we limited to what the character can do?

The Game allows this, yes. But we can only control the Game to a certain extend at this time, as we don't need to be able to do that for translation purposes. But according to our reversers, animations are limited to their own character. Doesn't mean there aren't animations in the code you just didn't get to see in-game...

OBJECTION !!

kidding.. LOL.. anyway, i'm very much excited for this game. I would like to thank everyone for a job well done. This is no easy feat, i tell you. I don't care if it isn't perfect for anyone else, as for me this IS already perfect. Can't wait for the release. Love the video as well. Thank you once again everyone!

 

[Segtendo]

I NEED THIS. INJECT IT INTO MY BLOOD.

Very nice progress so far, ladies and gentlemen. I'm stoked for the eventual release.

Because the project is being so good, people start nitpicking.

I had something similar with a project I did for school that had to be judged by my classmates, and when asked for critique, the classmates just started nitpicking because there weren't any major flaws. Eventually the teacher cut in and stopped it.

EDIT: By the way, I personally think it looks amazing! Keep it up!

Just so there are no misunderstandings. I was referring to the font in the dialogue box. The awesome "SIR!" graphic was made by @SoyAlexPop

I personally prefer Naruhodo just because its easier to read
But I dont care much, I dont speak Japanese and you probably know more about it than me.

The video is absolutely amazing. Would it technically be possible to create custom cases within the engine? I know thats not happening anytime soon, I'm just curious about if it would work in theory

Writing it in the way it appears in the name label is incorrect (correct would have been ナルホドー), though it happens sometimes. It could also have been done to emphasize the pun. There is no doubt about it being a long o-sound, though.

Thanks for the compliment, we worked very hard on that. It's good to see people enjoy our work
About the engine: We can control it to some extent, but there's many things we can't do and this also isn't really the objective of this project. Even if we could, custom case-makers like pyWright are much easier than doing this. Scripting this little skit took us two days...

Hi DGS translation team, just wanted to say, thank you for giving us some hope to play this game! You guys are doing great and did way more than I expected O_O There was no need to change the objection bubble and much easier to just leave all the audio/video intact. (Less work and personally I liked the voice in Japanese) Either way, thank you and great job guys, I do hope I'll be able to play it someday. And that short skit, man...as expected, that took a long time to do, Happy 15th Anniversary Ace Attorney!

Btw reading around, you guys are gonna release the patch and we have to use HANS and homebrew to patch it right? Just wanted to make sure so I can prepare myself. I guess I should get a DGS cart when I get a chance and study up on HANS/homebrew, really new to this.
