Usually I'd be upset at MG or any company for taking down videos on Youtube, but making Let's Plays of VNs is honestly the faggiest fucking thing I've ever heard of.

Kamidori is the pretty good if you're willing to invest 120+ hours into it. IIRC it took me around 200 hours to do all the routes. Otherwise Rondo Duo is enjoyable, although it's short.
Chase Mitchell
This sounds hilarious, link to the apology or some other place I can make fun of that dude?
So many people misunderstand Fair Use. Adding commentary is transformative but that's only one criteria of Fair Use. The amount of material you take is also another aspect, which is why reviews and criticisms that use excerpts of the copyrighted work are fine.

>How much does it cost to translate a VN of the 30-50 hours category with decent paze?
While the Libra team was able to negotiate with the translation team to reduce the costs before the project started since the initial prefundia goal was judged to be too high, but they gave a detailed breakdown of their initial quote,
Ryder Bell
DELETE THIS WE NEED THOSE 300K!
Leo Ross
However much they did pay, they got ripped off considering the limited skill of the translation team.
Oliver Myers
100k to translate libra? Man they overpaid.
Nolan Reyes
Are we ded?
Elijah Lopez
I noticed that too, if a new thread pops up there are a lot of posts and pictures in a very short time and after that nothing. Like a candle that burns away too quickly.
Landon Garcia
I love childhood friends especially Sumika!
Connor Nelson
Wew you can make that much money by barely knowing 2 languages? Alright, I'm learning japanese.
Brandon Wright
>Standard charges per Japanese character (Kana & Kanji) >Japanese→English 17 Yen~
so the Libra team actually got a great deal
Brody Hill
I met a bloke in China. He was from England or whatever. Don't know how much Chinese he knew but he seemed to get by. I spent the entire time speaking English & he said he teaches English at China. If the language is in demand, it may work.
Ryan Perry
How are the chrono clock cg without mosiacs? Don't think i'ves any examples anywhere.
>100k No wonder everyone sells out.
Ethan Rogers
How do I deal with the pain of having my waifu killed in Trillion?
Kevin Moore
They probably paid closer to $60k after they negotiated a lower rate and launched with a $125k goal and 50% listed for translation
They still overpaid for the result they got though
Aaron Gonzalez
SP offers trash compared to that. I think they offered aroduc like 5k for his baldr sky stuff.
Austin Davis
What's the proper way to fuck a tomboy?
Ethan Brown
Sekai used to pay quite well, part of the reason they lost money on G-Senjou was they overpaid the localization team. But that was when Steam was doing ridiculously well, by the time they got Baldr Sky they had began looking for ways to reduce costs, so they weren't going to pay Aroduc the per character rates that prior localizations got (especially with Sky being such a long game).
Jace Sanders
everyone is the same person in sub4h1bi
Tyler Garcia
Between thighs
Easton Baker
pretty sure the reason they lost money was because they split voices? as dlc and people decided fuck that and just pirated it instead. Plus wasn't it all-ages with no patch?
Henry Ramirez
Start slow and gentle, then pound her hard against the bed from behind or in the mating press.
Anthony White
All tomboys, without fail, love it in the ass.
Chase Peterson
It probably outsold everything MG ever released purely through their own site, being above 6k on Steamspy when it was have said to lost money and around 9k now. They likely overpaid for the license like many other titles at the time but one of the explicit comments made about it losing money was they paid higher than market rate for the translation.
Kevin Nelson
With this;
Carson Robinson
A little bit forcibly, enough to sweep her off her feet.
David Morgan
The JET program exists
John Williams
Yeah but there's at least 3 people involved with the translation, the translator, the editor, someone to QC, and probably someone to manage the project. So splitting $60k across 3-4 people isn't much money.
Luis Brooks
Reminder
Jayden Anderson
Still beats getting nothing when I first took commissions I was thrilled to be getting $10/hr now I can charge over $50/hr
Carter Cooper
Of course, $60k isn't unreasonable for a translation the size of Libra by any measure, however the Libra team made a relatively poor choice with whom they hired to translate it considering what the final product looked like.
Dominic Parker
DELET
John Bennett
Sometimes i wonder if those "500K for translation" kickstarters are just a way to use 200K on translation and keep the rest.
Samuel Rivera
when can we expect the majikoi A3 translation to come out ? I really need my maids
Logan Ramirez
It won't be during your lifetime now that JAST picked up Majikoi.
Mason Gonzalez

Henry Butler
Libra got ripped off if they actually paid that much. They effectively listed $0.075/ch as the amount they paid. While that's about in line with a professional translation, this industry (even sakai at it's most generous) never pays that much, most tl's getting $0.01-$0.025/ch depending on who they work for. That and what they got for their money was certainly not even close to 'professional' level... even sekai's worst translations probably have Libra beat.
That's not even close to what was offered...
Jason Murphy
>...
James Price
Yeah but that $0.01 - $0.025/ch is only for the translator right? If you need editing and QC it'll be 3x that amount.
Thomas Torres
>this industry (even sakai at it's most generous) never pays that much, most tl's getting $0.01-$0.025/ch depending on who they work for. it's about time that issue is fixed buy more VNs from SP
Parker Martin
Enjoying Dangeki Stryker very much, the characters are really comfy. Thanks to the anons that recommended it to me.

I've got two routes left on cho dengeki, I really should get onto that.
fuck you, it was supposed to be a shitty recommendation that'd make you hate this general even more

Why did you recommend something good then?

Sekai Project really are fucking idiots, and so are Doddler/Moogy/Koestl for wholeheartedly supporting them. Shit eaters, the entire bunch.

Jaxon Richardson
I want you to translate the DI anime. You only have to be better than crunchyroll, so it will be easy
Jack Ramirez
I can't wait to see how CR translates the incantations in DI.
