A Kiss for the Petals

Progress Report - October 6, 2008

2008-10-06T09:08:00.003-03:00

There hasn't been as much opportunity to work on the project as I would have hoped, but progress is still being made, albeit a bit sporadically again. The graphical work has pretty much been completed, with all of the interface elements translated, edited, and inserted back into the game. As for editing the script, things are coming along slowly but surely. Since editing is an iterative process, it's hard to judge how far along toward completion it is, but a rough guess would put it at about one-third complete.

I do apologize to those of you that thought 'raw translation complete' meant 'almost finished', but do realize that editing can be an even more involved process than the initial translation, especially for larger works like visual novels.

Rest assured - it's coming. :)

To help ease the wait, here are a few more screenshots, showing the translated interface:

On this date at St. Michael's...

Earlier today, while assembling a test build from a fresh install of the game, this dialog window popped up causing me a few moments of confusion. Then I looked more closely at the two dates. After double-checking the timestamps on the game's data files, I realized what this meant...

Happy second anniversary, you two!

Raw Translation Complete

- Raw translation: 100%
- Editing and proofreading: already underway

Thanks go out to all of you that have sent in your words of encouragement, and I can only hope that the final project will live up to everyone's expectations (ours included).

Screenshots and more

Here are a few recent screenshots of the work-in-progress translated version of the game, as well as a few screencaptures from VASTT showing some actual translated dialog. Note that although small, these sections of dialog might be a bit spoiler-ish, so if you don't want to ruin anything, don't look at the full-size images.

Please remember that this is still a -raw- translation, so there's no need to email to point out the many mistakes, like the mismatched present/past tense in the narrative - this will all (hopefully anyway) be properly edited and fixed before release. :)

Progress Report - August 30, 2008

2008-08-30T12:19:00.003-03:00

The progress of the project has been a little sporadic at times, but it still has been moving along fairly well. Work seems to only get done in fits and starts, but when there's an opportunity, a lot of progress gets made in a relatively short time. The initial translation of the first ten chapters of the game has been completed, bringing the progress of the raw translation up to 75% complete. There are also a number of new screenshots of the work-in-progress being prepared, which should be ready to be posted in a short while.

Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchiduke Wo - English translation project

2008-07-13T11:17:00.001-03:00

Greetings,

As some of "U" (*ahem*) may have already heard, I have recently started work on creating an English translation of Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchiduke Wo, a short-but-sweet yuri visual novel released by Fuguriya. I'll be using this spot to report on the project as it progresses, as well as posting of screenshots and other info of interest related to the project.
