Nope, it should be in the rar file. If it isn't in there, try downloading the archive file again.

If you google around, there are a lot of runtime packages floating around you can download. Just make sure you get the right version since later versions don't play well with old games.

There is a new comic by Karaagetarou out, this one featuring more of Nitori's crazy inventions. It's being translated on danbooru, and only about a third of it is done, but but it seems to be getting completed fast. http://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/7783 (standard danbooru  warning)

FractalSandwich posted:You translated an RPG Maker game? I would unironically love to hear about how much of a clusterfuck that must have been. Man, translating RPG Maker games has become my whole business. It's usually nothing too difficult, just editing the game like the creator themselves would to translate the messages and pictures. But when you have all this "programming" to make something like the Live-A-Live battle system (which, by nature of the early RPG Makers, cannot be anything but extremely convoluted), and the guy decided to just copy and paste a whole bunch of crap instead of doing anything in a smart way... well, it gets tedious. And the game has a huge amount of maps, though I'm sure much of that is owed to every single possible encounter being its own copy of the battle screen. I probably could have gone about things better - I've since developed some tools that would have helped - but it's no wonder I stick to horror and adventure games these days.  Incidentally, Koki is slowly working on a sequel to Touhou-A-Live called Vanishing Fairy with a more SaGa-ish battle system, coded in a more sensible fashion. On the other hand, the plot's gotten even more absurd: There's a talking black crystal whose default name is Black. Everyone is a treasure hunter going into ruins that popped out of the ground out of nowhere. The Former Capital turned into a big metropolis with rival gangs and the mayor is an insane kappa with a giant robot who's doing black market dealings with a weapons supplier for the Lunarians... ...yeah, I might translate that too when it's done.

On reflection, it makes sense that RPG Maker wouldn't necessarily be hard to work with just because it's RPG Maker. I was imagining you'd have trouble with character encoding, but the Latin alphabet is always part of Shift-JIS or whatever anyway, so that doesn't make any sense. And all told, just taking text and putting it on the screen is something that RPG Maker is good at! It can even manage some graphics if you don't mind pushing it. It's only if you want to use RPG Maker to make an RPG that everything turns to poo poo.

Haha, are you trying to make a suggestion? Synthesizers are amazing these days, aren't they? I'm pretty sure I own the ones used to produce that track. Yes, even the choir. I think it's this one to be exact (check out the demos, doesn't it pretty much sound like that?) I wonder how they went about choosing lyrics. Or what the lyrics are. It's kind of hard to make out. I know it's probably not Japanese, since EWQL's wordbuilder only really handles English or Latin phenome structure (with the Latin sounding WAY better).

I noticed the latest two chapters of Wild And Horned Hermit and Forbidden Scrollery pop up on various manga reader sites but nothing on the touhou wiki. Kinda curious if you got tired of translating them and someone else stepped up to do them.

Those were my rough drafts, uploaded without my permission because of leaks (well, not that that's unexpected). So unfortunately I'm still the only translator. What's happening is that my editor (who also double checks the translation) has apparently gotten very busy this past half-year, so I finish the draft in a day or two and then the drafts sit there for months. I guess someone got tired of it and just uploaded them to the online readers, which annoys me because there are some pretty major errors (I think) and it's difficult if not impossible to replace them once they're up there. My plan for the future is to put a disclaimer page in front to make them feel bad about uploading it. That said, my editor is also the person who's been providing me the raws, and he may or may not have disappeared off the face of the Earth. So... the process is pretty stalled, although not for lack of motivation on my part.

I'd held off on it originally since the idea, as I understood it, was that the patch would be released before a translation was in place, and that there wouldn't at any point be a "done" version of the patch, as the translation would be updated over time. For my part I'd have preferred a patch produced by a group that was willing to vouch that their translation was done and that they were satisfied with it, rather than one that was, at the time, professing not to really care what the characters were saying over Twitter. (Why are you producing a translation patch then?) But you're right, I'd be immensely surprised if any groups decided to produce their own translation of DDC, given that this one exists and given that there are so many games out there that haven't been translated. I'll probably pick it up pretty soon. I'm still amazed that people translate these games at all - it's not something I should take for granted. ikaragu fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Feb 10, 2014 |

Look at it this way: if poo poo like "The Magic Eye of Laplace" can make it into a finished patch, you're still hosed even if you wait, so you might as well just go for it.

My personal problem with the dynamic patcher is that it's a pain in the rear end to use in JP locale and multiple hard drives. There's also something to be said about the translation quality, but now it's about equal with the rest of the games.

Clarste posted:Those were my rough drafts, uploaded without my permission because of leaks (well, not that that's unexpected). So unfortunately I'm still the only translator. Welp. Maybe I'm just overestimating Touhou's popularity, but I always heard it's one of Japan's bigger indie game series, and it seems to have a decently big fan-following both in Japan and in the West. It just seems weird to me that there's so little interest in translating the stuff ZUN makes compared to all the fanworks that get translated. It took a long time until someone stepped up to translate Hopeless Masquerade, Clarse still seems to be the only one interested in translating Wild and Horned Hermit and Forbidden Scrollery, and all the while dozens of fan mangas keep getting translated all the time. I mean if we're all being honest here it's because Touhou fans on average are a buncha weirdoes and creeps who treat new games as an excuse to have more characters to ship with everyone else and don't bother with ZUN's mangas since he's going for fun fantasy stuff instead of writing about ~my OTPs~, but it's still pretty disappointing how little interest ZUN's stuff gets. Show of hands: How many people in here even read the official mangas? Most of the time I tried to drum up some discussion on new chapters in the past there didn't seem to be much interest. I'm kinda curious how much people in here care about ZUN's work compared to the various fan works out there.

I vaguely remember hearing that Hopeless Masquerade was a pain in the rear end to translate. Or was it the fighting games? One of the two. I've only read some of the official manga, and some of the doujin out there. And honestly, on both sides there's a wide degree of quality. I remember really loving the Three Fairies stuff, but when I first stumbled on Wild and Horned Hermit, the art style kind of threw me off a bit, so I've been slacking a bit on that one. Honestly, I think some of the doujins out there I've seen are better written than ZUN's stuff, although there's also a fuckton of doujins and a lot of it is shipping crap. ZUN isn't the greatest writer in the world, but neither is anyone else. That said, I agree that the official stuff should have more interest with regards of being translated. About the only reasonable excuse I can think of why more people aren't jumping on that wagon is that someone already has been translating the official stuff and has claimed dibs, whereas for the doujin some translators might go "Hey, I found this, no one's going to claim dibs, let's do it!"

I read them, and I like them some of the time, but I find myself wishing they would go deeper into the fun fantasy stuff. Wild and Horned Hermit started off pretty promising with Kasen squashing ghosts and acting like she was up to something, but a lot of the time it's just Reimu and friends hanging around the shrine explaining stuff at length, which makes Gensokyo seem like a pretty boring place where not much happens most of the time. The fairies manga were pretty similar, and Forbidden Scrollery has lots of cool fantastical elements but also threatens to go that way. The only Touhou manga where the characters did go off on a fantasy adventure was Silent Sinner in Blue, and from what I understand everyone hated that (and I don't blame them given the danmaku battle section - some of the individual spells were cool, but the whole thing just took forever and went absolutely nowhere). For Hopeless Masquerade I thought that the game itself wasn't all that well liked in various quarters - it's Tasofro building a tradition of alienating all the fans of their previous fighting game whenever they release a new one. Considering how infamously difficult IaMP and SWR were to patch, and the fact that HM was getting new text patched into it throughout last year, it's kind of impressive that the patching effort has gone as far as it has. It's only been out for a year. Also while I'll turn my nose up at a lot of the doujinshi there is definitely some really good stuff going on there. Yakumi Sarai's stuff is absolutely golden. ikaragu fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Feb 12, 2014 |

I usually prefer ZUN's text-only stuff to the manga he works on. I really enjoyed Curiosities in Lotus Asia and Cage in Lunatic Runagate (they're lethargic and told by extremely pretentious narrators but that's much of the charm, really). Something about ZUN's storytelling just grabs me
