Congratulations to all the translators, proofers, testers, Haeleths and whatnot whose work sees the light of distro today.

Who cares? We'll get it for ya.

And yes, congrats. and thanks for all the hard work!

It occurs to me, that all this time I have been totally mis-reading the front page of AT2006:

"Love translation. Love stories. Spend a month sharing them together."

I read this as a 'theme' to this year's festival. Love stories. Hmm.
Imagine my disappointment while reading half of these releases D:

(Though I must admit 'OMGWTFOTL' was very touching...)

Now I go pee and hope HAND OF DOOM does not emasculate me, how romantic~

Thank you for your efforts.

Something occurred to me while reading the front page:

"We have also, I hope, provided another set of examples for those who wish to create original English works of this type, demonstrating how small-scale productions can be as worthwhile as ambitious epics, and how any author can make his or her unique voice heard, not just in one language, but – by the efforts of hobbyists – across the world"

Is there a possibility to have a reverse al|together, where OELVNS are translated to Japanese and reverse-engineered? I'm not sure if Japanese people would even care, since they have all the visual novels in the world, but maybe at some future time when there are enough complete quality OEL works, it's something to consider. There are Czech translations of a few works already. As for me, I'm keeping localization-friendliness in mind while working on projects.

Oh wow! It's out already!

Haeleth, Seung Park and everyone else who helped out with TWTR, thank you so much for all of your invaluable help. I'm glad we could work together to produce this translation. :)

Though I must say I've noticed a couple of bugs. T_T I'll email you about it later, Haeleth.

Possibly. There are examples that some Korean novel type games commercially released in Japan. Interesting game will be welcomed over the international border no matter which nations made it. I guess however the first thing for those games to have to do is gain enough fame in own nation.


A shameless self-report.
OMGWTFOTL got a introduction by the group.
