LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
No, okay, the real danger from Nagito is him talking to anyone who's frantic or, well, despairing. I'm almost completely willing to bet that the next murder or two will involve a little nudge from Nagito, maybe nothing as overt as his blackout knife plan, perhaps just the right words at the right time to send someone spiraling down into a mindset where murder seems like the only option. So, obviously, the best plan would be not necessarily to restrict Nagito's movements, but to make an accord among everyone to not talk to Nagito. To just completely shun him. This will not happen, though, because they'll think, because they know he's crazy now, that if they can just keep him away from sharp objects, he's mostly harmless. Dude's crazy, but also obviously very smart (he'd have to be, to concoct the blackout plan).
I really love how assertive Hinata is. Such a great improvement over wishy-washy Naegi. GO AHEAD AND PUNCH HIM. :black101:

Everything Gundam does and says just makes me like him more, I'm glad he's stepping up and contributing to conversations now. Or maybe I just love his voice that much. :syoon: Who is his voice actor?

Tomokazu Sugita. If you want to hear him in other stuff, he's the lead in Gintama and he's Joseph Joestar in the new JoJo's Bizarre Adventure adaptation.

Alright, is chapter one over? Yes it is! That means I can finally open up another Fanart Archive.

This post contains all fanart depicting spoilers for events up to the end of Chapter 1 (and DRZero chapters posted during Chapter 1).

For reasons I'm sure you can understand, "spoilers" is interpreted very generously as being any link to specific events during the chapter.

Alright, this one took some work.

I used the teddy bear model as a base, but Scribblenauts doesn't let you do half n' half coloring. So I used small circles to fill in the other side of Monobear, using overlaps and different circles (There's also a triangle in there.) dyed them all black, and used the prism shape to make his red eye.

I changed the reactions so that when interacted with, Monobear will explode. In this state characters in the game will treat Monobear as a Nuke, running away in terror of our fluffy overlord. I also made it so you can pick him up and toss him like a grenade.

But ScribbleMonobear is now ready to wreak havoc in yet another video game.


E: Forgot to mention how much I love the Scribblenauts Disguised Hanamura riding Yoshi.

LordHippoman posted:

Time for some more Super High School Level Scribblenauts! Second batch is coming out.




Mikan was supposed to be programmed to freak out whenever she bumped into an object, but I hosed it up and now she just freaks out permanently. I feel like that's a little more fitting.



I don't like this one much, but then again I don't like this character either. The problem was the hair, I couldn't find a good pigtails model (Scribblenauts doesn't let you insert hair, you have to find a preexisting head and use that), so I went with the Geisha one. Since she's a classical dancer, I thought that was at least a little fitting. She's also programmed to murder all animals.



I really like Sonia, so I wanted to do her justice. Her brooch thing is actually a merging of two different objects I colored separately. She hasn't been shown to have any quirky habits so far, so I didn't really work with the programming for this one. She behaves the same as a normal "Princess" object would.

The voice sounds like a lanky guy who has to pause now and then to use his inhaler and can't wait to show you his stamp collection and share theories about why 9-11 was an inside job to me.
I'm not sure why they thought it was suitable, as Naegi's original voice is very soft and more childish. But I think we already discussed a lot about fan voice acting in the DR1 thread.

I'm pleasantly surprised with this chapter. It seems like the writer(s) decided to see how they could mess with people who had played DR1 and thought they knew how things would go, while at the same time stepping up the quality of the visuals and mini-games. They did pretty well, I think.

Anyway, Hanamura dying was a bit sad but Nagito being Nagito pushed those feelings out quickly because, holy hell, he's quite irritating. It's his face and his words working together to make the most horrible person to be around and I'm surprised Hinata didn't go for the punch himself.

Fedule's Riveting Editorial Anecdotes
Chapter One Omnibus Edition

Since we're safely between chapters, I've got a small window in which I can talk about some of the Thing of Actual Interest from the last chapter without distracting you from the anticipation/speculation/discussion/reactions relating to the various matters at hand.

From the top!

quote:



Rule no. 6
During the school trial, students will attempt to identify the culprit. If the culprit is successfully identified, they shall be executed for their crime.

Do you know when to use "will" and when to use "shall"? It turns out there are rules! Also there kinda aren't. Surprise - the English language once again proves spectacularly fickle. Traditionally (at least in British English) you use "shall" for first person and "will" for second, except when you're being super serious in which case you swap them for some reason - but in practice they're used interchangeably. However! In (British, and, I assume, other English speaking) legalese, "will" refers to definite givens while "shall" refers to contingencies. I don't even know why it even occurred to me to question the wording of these rules, but hey.


quote:



Good morning, you bastards! Its another perfect tropical day!
Let's enjoy it for all its worth!

A little liberty was taken here. The first draft of this finished with "Let's work hard in high spirits today too!". I couldn't really think of a way to include the "work" part of that while also keeping the line short and snappy, and since this is a line we're going to see over and over and over...

Also quoted: The ultimate ambiguous its/it's use. You can read it as "for all the worth of the day" (so "its", the pronoun in possessive case), or "for all the day is worth" (so "it's", the verb "to be" in singular neutral present tense). I flipped a coin.


quote:

BULLETS CANNOT PIERCE SPIRIT!
A keen observation, and well put... But let me offer some... advice... spirited one.

That one Nidai line sure went over well! Here's an amusing fact, though: I originally read Gundam's response completely wrong from the first draft. He's supposed to be in favour of Nidai's style, if not his, er, volume, but I read him as being irritated, sarcastic and condescending (well, more condescending than usual).

Yes, yes, a very moving speech, but... Here is a morsel of wisdom for you to chew on, spirited one...

I liked it... but it was completely wrong.


quote:

When you actually get to try my food, you will be astounded!
It won't just be your jaw that drops!
Your underpants are gonna fall off too!

For every odd little idiom or pun that requires actual work to render intelligible in English, there's one like this - originally "it tastes so good my cheeks fell off", from which Hanamura flawlessly segues into being creepy about Pekoyama's underwear - that somehow manages to fit perfectly into the translation with only a tiny alteration. Those are nice.


quote:

I mean, we're not alone. We're friends... no, more than that... Were comrades! Were all in this together!

This was originally "nakama", which is one of those words you'll know if you pick up Japanese from anime. It shames me to tell you that I spent five entire seconds considering leaving it in.


quote:


This bit actually wasn't nearly as hard as I feared it would be. At least, not this time. Just keep that in mind for now.


quote:

Monobears really let the cat out of the frying pan and into the fire, hasnt he?

This line marked the first occurrence of the word "untranslatable" in a note from Oren (and a new record for length of explanatory notes generally, at a few paragraphs). As I recall, Sonia used some idiom meaning something like "caused a big fuss" and Hanamura questioned her use of kanji because apparently what she said can be written slightly differently to change its meaning to something dirty... which... er... well, I kinda lost track of it at that point but I think you can see the problem here. A possibility we looked into was Sonia using a complicated (and misspelled) word, but not only could we not find anything that didn't sound ridiculous, spelling errors don't offer nearly the room for reinterpretation as swapping around kanji. So instead I just sat staring at the line for something like twenty four consecutive hours before coming up with a phenomenal mixed metaphor somehow and rewriting the exchange around that.


quote:

Were having a breakfast meeting, so well be greeting and eating, right?
So Ibukis gonna save time by turning eating into a greeting so we can greet while we eat! Isnt that neat!?

In Japanese, Ibuki just crams "itadakimasu" (think "bon apetit") into "ohayo" ("good morning") to form "ohaitadakimasuyo". I think I'm better at this than she is. :colbert:


quote:



Fan-tasmagoria: A folding fan passed around since the Heian period. It is told any person holding it can communicate with spirits.

Originally an incredible pun based on some kanji that, when strung together, can be pronounced "shikushu sensu" (ie, "Sixth Sense"), this "translated" name is actually an Oren contribution (as ever, I was off in a corner overthinking it). I vow to one day come up with a present name that is more perfect than "Necroissant". You hear me?!


quote:



...Duralumin cases?

If you ever see the word "case" (referring to these) on its own in the dialogue, know that it was originally another repetition of "duralumin case" in full. I ended up fighting a losing battle to cut down on the throwing around of "duralumin" and get it back below the threshold where the word starts to lose all meaning. Can't win 'em all!


quote:


HelloWinter edits too! This room was originally called "Warehouse", which isn't right at all. I guess maybe, but come on. There's a line.


quote:

Ha ha... Ibukis gonna write a song about this! Itll be called One More Lonely Girl!

I can't help but wonder if the reason no one commented on this is because no one wants to admit that they got the reference? Well, let me put your minds at ease - you're not going to look much worse than I am, considering I'm now owning up to making this reference in the first place.

Originally, this was a reference to a song called "Lonely Girl" by some pop group or something that's slightly popular (apparently), and Oren asked if I could think of an analogue in English. Well, I thought of one alright. It's Justin Bieber. God help me.

Come, you bastards, the game is afoot!

Holy gently caress. This little exchange warranted an entire Google Doc full of explanatory notes. Monobear starts off with a reference to a catchphrase from Kindaichi Case Files (hence the translated version referencing Sherlock Holmes) and proceeds to repeat it over and over again with slight changes to the wording that completely change the meaning of the phrase and confuse the hell out of Monomi.

Here's a rejected version of this scene.

Come, Monomi! The game is afoot!
Huh? A game of football?
Togami's caput!
Huh? Did he die playing sports?
To who is it put?
To who is what put? The ball?
The bl-- ah, who cares. This routine's going nowhere.

I'm ever so proud of the flawless maintenance of both the meter and the "t- __ is __ -ut" structure in addition to it actually being a coherent exchange. Someone had better appreciate this thing, goddamnit!

The version we went with is more faithful to Monomi's increasingly confused reactions but reads as much more of a non-sequitur. I really, really suck at writing good non-sequiturs.


quote:

Every great detective knows you cant have a proper investigation without lots of legwork!

In the first draft, this line read "A great man once said, 'one must use one's legs during an investigation'." Oren noted that he thought it sounded like a reference but couldn't trace it to anything, and suggested it might have been something originally written in English. Ever diligent, took I to Google with some imagination and a lot of patience and found this quote from The Widow Lerouge, a 1866 mystery novel by mile Gaboriau (considered a pioneer of modern detective fiction): "When one has no brains, one must use ones legs." - a remark upon a character having to follow a cab on foot since they failed to ascertain its destination in advance. So... either Ibuki "ohaitadakimasuyo" Mioda is appropriately (though incorrectly) referencing a 19th century detective novel or... it's a coincidence.

I miss Kirigiri.


quote:

I TOL' YA T' WAI MINUTE!

YIDIOTSVE NO DEA WHAYA TALK NABOUT! ISIN THALL THOLE TIME DURN BLACKOUT!!

Good god. This was a lot of "fun" to do. All I had to go on was that this was supposed to be Hanamura's epic breakdown in which he falls back from his (fake) sophisticated city manner and back to some sort of extremely heavy middle-of-nowhere-country accent. And so I broke out the apostrophes.

As you probably noticed, the breakdown happens in stages. First, he's heavily accented, but still intelligible.

quote:

YSTAINSCOVAWTHAMDWEPNS!!

He seems to be saying you still haven't discovered what the murder weapon was!

Then he gets so thick that Monomi has to translate, but if you compare his lines with Monomi's "translation" you can just about see where she's coming from.

quote:

UNCRTULODFUMPKNSSKURDKOPTHOLMEUTHSSKUT!!

"Uncultured bumpkins should keep their mouths shut!"... is what he seems to be saying.

And finally he reaches almost pure gibberish that barely, if at all, even remotely resembles Monomi's translations.

quote:

OVLYENJUCHSKTTHBUNGP!!

I have no idea what this line was originally or if it was anything other than a random burst of syllables, Monomi doesn't provide a translation, and Oren didn't even attempt to transcribe it, so I went with "All of you shut the gently caress up!" (in case you were wondering).


And finally...

quote:

We must find our resolve.

This line (and more or less every other line from here to the end of the update) was all about "ganbaru", which kinda does and kinda doesn't actually have a consistent English translation.

It would be Sonia, wouldn't it?


See you next chapter, I guess!

I like the "Togami's caput" version better (by a wide margin) than the canon one, for whatever it's worth.

"wich the worst part was what troll face did to sonic's corpse after words wich was rape it. at that point i looked away"



Lord's work, Fedule! When I got to the part with Sonia's mixed-up sayings in my initial read, I remember thinking "Man, I bet that was a bitch to translate". She must be a tricky character.

But, if I understand right, Sakura was kind of difficult too, with the close equivalent to how she spoke involving lots of "thou" and "thee's" - please correct me if I'm wrong though.

I recall someone saying that Hanamura used random English words to sound more sophisticated, but I suppose that got lost in translation... I mean, he could have maybe used a few random French words maybe for us; it would kinda fit the chef/cook motif, but then again, I don't think it would fit the rest of his character design :shrug:

Fedule wasn't around to work on Oren's translations of the first game. He is, however, working on the patch, which is going to have all the text edited.

No, you're right - that would've worked great and I kinda regret that I thought about this (very obvious) idea when it was already too late to implement it.

I think Oren said that, yeah. Listening to her, I think she uses old Samurai-like terms. "Degozaru" and the like.

How a TV show about Pre-historic life would reconstruct a goon.
Oh wow, I can't believe I finally caught up with a thread! Now I have to wait for updates like everyone else. :f5: I actually really like Nagito so far, or at least, I'm interested in him. Souda is my definite favorite though. Based on my luck in the first game that means he'll probably be the next to get offed.

Just so this isn't a completely contentless post, here's something I drew yesterday after finishing the first thread:

Joke's probably been made ten times over, but I'm not about to search through 700+ pages to find out.

(Thank you, orenronen and Fedule for your hard work! I would never have gotten into this game if not for you.)

I do too! It's very clever. (Although the word is "kaput." Yiddish loves its 'k's.)

Ganbaru is a tricky one, isn't it? When I'm saying "ganbatte" to people I usually just change it to "good luck," which seems like the closest analogue in English even though the spirit is completely different... but it's just so awkward in English to keep saying "do your best! do your best! let's do our best!"

"Were having a breakfast meeting, so well be greeting and eating, right? So Ibukis gonna save time by turning eating into a greeting so we can greet while we eat! Isnt that neat!?"

Yes. It most certainly is neat. I'm really impressed with how you managed to translate from one language to another, completely foreign language and make the wordplay sound natural and funny on its own merits while keeping the spirit of the original. I'm particularly fond of this line, now that I think of it. I was kind of just reading it as an English text before, but now that I'm thinking of it as a work translated from Japanese I'm appreciating the talent it took to make the English read as well as it does. Jolly good show!

Do you know when to use "will" and when to use "shall"? It turns out there are rules! Also there kinda aren't. Surprise - the English language once again proves spectacularly fickle. Traditionally (at least in British English) you use "shall" for first person and "will" for second, except when you're being super serious in which case you swap them for some reason - but in practice they're used interchangeably. However! In (British, and, I assume, other English speaking) legalese, "will" refers to definite givens while "shall" refers to contingencies. I don't even know why it even occurred to me to question the wording of these rules, but hey.

So what you're saying is that someone's going to commit murder and then not get killed by Monobear because the rules specifically say it's just a possibility? Seems fitting since he's more of a dick this time around.
But jokes and interesting word trivia aside, does the distinction between those words exist in the Japanese text as well?

(And, not really seriously, but--what the hell Hope's Peak Academy? Do you even screen these students prior to admitting them to school to see whether or not they're kinda spooky or crazy? I mean sure, I've read research articles saying that insane folks have some qualities in common with some highly-successful people, and you certainly don't expect a talking bear to hold an entire class hostage, but Komaeda's a lot less reserved about it than Junko was!)

It's quite possible for people to hide their insanity and if there's nothing in their past to indicate they might be slighty off-kilter then Hope's Peak wouldn't really know. Besides, look at how everyone else acts - "odd behavior" is just kind of expected apparently. Nagito is only ridiculously obvious right now because his true self was revealed and he's no longer acting.
