Diabolik Lovers Limited V Edition English patch update

Just a quick update, Diabolik Lovers English patch is now free to download for everyone.

You can find the link on our release page here: http://otomevn.com/diabolik-lovers-limited-v-edition-english-patch/

As you may have known, the PlayStation Vita store will be taken down this August. After that, you can't buy the digital version of the game anymore. That's why we've come to this decision to make our patch publicly available.

Thank you for your support :)

CLOCK ZERO -Shuuen no Ichibyou- ExTime

Kurou Nadeshiko is the twelve year old daughter of some wealthy high-class members. She goes to a wealthy school with her childhood friend and hopes to become a doctor one day. However, every night she has a dream about being in another world. That world is full of ruins and she is ten years older. One day, a transfer student named Kaido Takato comes to her class and she gets involved in an after school extra-curricular club which they call “Clock Zero”.

Clock zero - One of the most active projects in #Otogelib right now! The scripts for it is up and if you’re interested in translating otome games in your free time as a hobby, be sure to take a look at Otogelib - A community translation project where we provide your favorite otome game scripts for you to translate in your free time, and improve your Japanese in the process :) You’re free to post your part of the translation onto your blogs/websites!

These screenshots show the translation in action!

Introduce Otogelib! A new otome game translation community project

Hi there, Reishiki, leader of Otogetranslations here.

I started this group in October last year to gather translators to work on Collar x Malice Unlimited, I didn’t think it would grow this much from a small group of <5 people to a... group of >20 people. A lot happened but I’m glad to have a loving group of translators/members that always trust in me and help me get through all the drama and stress I have when maintaining this group.

I know I decided to stop after Diabolik Lovers Limited V Edition English patch accident, but I thought it’s a bit unfair for you, for us, that we wasted all our efforts of hacking/managing/translating stuff. So I think of a new project that can live only with community support. I’m not the leader of this project, but you guys—the community is. In that sense, I stopped, but the community didn’t.

So, what’s our new project?

A Public otome game translations library at https://otogelib.tumblr.com/ which everyone can view the text translation, seeing translation progress in real-time, and anyone can apply as a translator/proofreader. You can view/edit spreadsheets anywhere with an internet connection and a mobile device. And basically, you can translate any sentence/route you want without being afraid that someone already worked on it.

That’s @otogelib! The library is still growing, so if you have friends that interested in helping, please reblog/share/retweet this. After all, this project only can survive with community support :).

This project is the last thing I can do for the otome community. That is providing scripts for you guys to translate in the most comfortable way, or to practice reading/translating Japanese, to have a way to learn Japanese that you guys can enjoy, and help other otome lovers in the progress. :)

When a game is completed translating, I might make patches for people who bought the game. Otherwise, you can just play the game and read along. :)

What you can do for this project:

If you know Japanese or fluent in English and would like to help to translate/proofreading:

TRANSLATORS APPLICATION PROOFREADERS APPLICATION

If you don’t know Japanese and just want to help:

You can go around Tumblr/twitter and message translators/fans of these projects and see if they’re interested in translating and let them know about this project :).

Thanks for reading, and remember to spread the word! If you have more questions, just send me a message via Tumblr/twitter or email me [email protected]

Current Project Spreadsheets:

- AMNESIA LATER

- BLACK WOLVES SAGA

- HAKUOKI SSL

- VARIABLE BARRICADE

- NIL ADMIRARI NO TENBIN

Come join us!

Hi, leader of Otogetranslations here.

Although I’ve decided not to start any projects by myself, there are some projects that we collaborate with other groups/translators. They need more help so I’m creating this post in order to recruit some translators for them.

Those projects are:

- Hakuoki SSL: Need more translators and proofreaders. Leader: @coquettishcat-blog

- Brothers Conflict: Need more proofreaders and translators for Brilliant Blue. Leader: @passionandbrilliance

- Black Wolves Saga Last hope: This project started by me but there are some passionate people still want to work on it, so I think if you want to, why not join?

What you need:

- Japanese knowledge.

- You must be fluent in English.

- You must be an English native speaker if you want to be a proofreader.

- Internet connection.

- Smartphone/tablets or Laptops.

What you will do: 

- Work on a google spreadsheet which contains the scripts of the game, like the image below:

- You can work from anywhere, at any time (ie. when you’re waiting at the bus/train station) as long as you have an internet connection and a smartphone/tablet using Google Sheet app.

What you can do to join us:

Send an email to [email protected] with this form:

Name: 

Country: 

Alias: (Name you want to be credited in) 

Email: (The exact EMAIL you will be using to edit the google sheet, Gmail is preferred since we will be working on a google sheet) 

Japanese knowledge: N1/N2/N3/N4/N5 (You don’t have to take the exam to be sure, self-learning is okay, just try to estimate your current knowledge equal to which JPLT.)

Which project do you want to work on:

“I promise I won't share the sheet and/or the translation patch to anyone else when it becomes available.”

After receiving your email, I’ll reply back and invite you to work on the spreadsheet.

Benefit:

- If you already owned the game, you can request from me the demo patch with the current translated lines in the sheet, I’ll pack it and send it to you.

- Who knows, if you want to translate any idea factory vita game, we might be able to help you with the hacking stuff :)

Thanks! Please reblog this post and spread the words so a lot of people could join. 

Some quick clarification

- We’ll still be sending patch of Diabolik Lovers Limited V Edition for those who bought the game. So feel free to get the game and request from us a patch :)

- Collar x Malice Unlimited will NOT be released publicly but just for our team members and their friends personal use. Please get the official English version from Aksys next year.

Thank you!

Announcing of Dropping DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE;BLOOD

To sum things up:

Read on if you wanted to know what really happened:

[PSVita] Brothers Conflict Precious Baby English Fan Translation Demo

A project we collaborate with Passion and Brilliance Group @passionandbrilliance. We helped them with inserting the text. All translation belongs to Passion and Brilliance.

- Romhacking: [DC] - Repacking & text extract, inserting: Reishiki - Translation: @passionandbrilliance

We need your help! Since Passion and Brilliance originally translated this for PSP, we need your help to copy the text into the new format of PsVita!

You only need to have: 1. A LOT of free time. 2. A computer. 3. Microsoft Excel. 4. A strong sense of responsibility.

The work is just copying and pasting the original translation into the new format. Please send an email to [email protected] if you're interested in helping the patch to be completed sooner :)

We also need more helping in proofreading the translation, and we're recruiting more translators to help with Brilliant Blue!

Progress: - Passion Pink: 100% Translated. Proofreading in progress. - Brilliant Blue: 5% Translated.

This is just a demo version, it has a lot of errors and bugs. We will fix all of them in the final patch.

DIABOLIK LOVERS ENGLISH PATCH RELEASE!

At long last, we have fully completed our English patch for the Limited V Edition of Diabolik Lovers Haunted Dark Bridal. You can find all the information regarding the patch, including a list of who worked on it, how to install it, and a link to a walkthrough here: http://otomevn.com/diabolik-lovers-limited-v-edition-english-patch/

Reminder that you must be able to send us proof of your purchase of the game in order to receive a copy of the patch. There are instructions on how to do this in the link above. 

Also, note that the patch is around 2.5 GB, so your memory card must have at least 3GB or so of space on it for the patch to be able to be installed.

This patch was worked on by a lot of people (over 25!), and as much as we tried to keep everything consistent, scripts have different translators, which means different writing styles. We have done our best in editing to make them all cohesive, but if a few scripts sound a little different, it’s because they were probably worked on by a different team member.

If anyone notices any errors or problems, please let us know! This game is fairly large, and even though we proofed it and beta tested it multiple times, we probably missed things here and there.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

To release or not: Collar x Malice Unlimited English fantranslation patch for the vita

Please help us decide by doing this short survey!

https://forms.gle/mwcyPaLVHEmbXiuH9

The translators worked on the patch that I asked said that they would trust my decision. I personally still want to release the patch to the people that ordered the game and had a jailbroken vita to play it. Idea factory & Otomate is the original creator of the game, if they didn't create it, then Aksys wouldn't have anything to localize, so I still think that support Idea Factory/Otomate is as important.

Some people might think that we should stop, because this would affect the sale of CxM Unlimited switch version of Aksys. But I think it's most likely not. People that have vita aren't confirmed to get the switch just for CxM Unlimited, they might not have enough money, or for whatever reasons that they decided to not get the switch. Besides, our patch is not a complete patch. There are a lot of technical issues that aren't possible to solve without editing the source code of the game. So it can't be a complete patch. To get the complete version, you must get the switch.

We also do not release the patch publicly, only to people that actually purchased the Japanese game. I doubt it would be more than 20-30 people.

Still, I want to know about your opinions. I really appreciate it if you can help us! Thanks for all your support and encouraging words!

We're still working on: - Diabolik Lovers Limited V Edition

- Side projects that we collaborate with several translators/translation groups:

+ Hakuoki SSL

+ Brothers Conflict

+ Black Wolves Saga

Note: All of them is for the vita. Also English is not my first language, please pardon any grammatical errors.

Help please

hi all ♡

while our english patch for hdb is nearing completion, the proofreaders are working hard to keep the writing and formatting consistent … but as we all have differing opinions on which formats look better, we’ve decided to send out a poll to let you guys help us iron out a few small kinks!

if you have the time, please fill out our form here! https://forms.gle/V44YsxvryNzgtXkG7

we’d like to make this as uniform as possible but we could really use some insight!! (;￣▽￣)

thank you!!
