why is translation and programming the last step? can you not do that while you render?
- Thread starter CobraSGT
- Start date
I played back through this and appreciate the level of image quality in a lot this VN. However, since we're on the topic of translation, the dialogue in this game is absolutely dreadful. I don't know whether L&P does it himself or hires someone else, but if that's the case that person needs to be fired.

It wasn't. As mentioned before, he was "able" to translate 2-3 pages of text per day. Right now, the translation progress is at 10% per day, with 10 pages of ms word text in total. That's atleast twice as much time. Translating a single page of text, then calling it a day. That's like an hour of work if you're slow.
He's got a translator, not just a proof-reader (and even this guy is mediocre at best, as can be seen in some of the scuffed dialogue). Why would he write it in German, then write it again in English, then hand it to a proof-reader? The whole point of a translator is to give the guy your script, let him translate it, then maybe look over it or have another person proofreading the already translated text. What you're saying makes absolutely zero sense, but that's exactly the kind of people L&P is able to fool with this nonsense on his Patreon page. You can even see their names in the ingame-credits, listed as "translation helpers" (this could be completely outdated, I don't know). Kinda funny if you think about it. His animation "helper" somehow doesn't get any credit at all, almost like he doesn't exist....Oh.
Edit: Removed an entire paragraph, because it's pointless anyway. Nothing makes sense with L&P. Writing the dialogue down twice, in German and then in English, is just dumb and a waste of time. Especially if you have a translator and proof-reader.
Also, L&P said release would be between the 6th and 12th of July. He's on route for a July 12th release, doing just enough work to release exactly on the last day of his ETA. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

The counter is called "Programming and Translation" and not only Translation.
I would write/develop the dialogs also first in my native language because then, if I want to express not only "I want to fuck you now - moan" but intermediate tones and feelings, I would simply have security to write down first exactly what I want to express. Also, with me the narrative/dialogues would arise during the creation of the images, that would be a process, both works would be inseparable for me.
But if they are just as saddle-firm in the foreign language as in their native language then your objection is of course justified.
But you are also right when you dismiss this counter as misleading. It only makes sense if L&P has no one for translation and programming. Because otherwise "programming and translation" could actually start during the creation of the images. Maybe not until 70% of the images are done, but definitely earlier. Of course I assume that L&P develops the images in chronological order - which would not always work for me.
You can see that I can't decide for either side, so I'm done with my babbling - good night.

I personally would add Sam and Sophia in the hot tub. But I know you don't like either Sam or that scene, and we have discussed them both before, so I'm not not trying to convince you.
But I can agree 100% with all the ones you have chosen. The fact they are all in the last few days shows that things are actually hotting up, and hopefully we will get even hotter scenes in the near future.

It does depend on whether we are talking qualitatively or quantitatively.....
Quantitatively, there are definitely other VN that show us either lots more number of boobs and/or larger boobs (I have previously slated some of the over-pixelated bimbos that other VN show but I don't want to derail thread by getting into that again).
Qualitatively I can't think of any nicer boobs than the perfection of our goddess Aphrodite eerrr I mean Sophia.
Although in the interest of fairness and as purely "academic" exercise I would be willing to closely peruse any VN that you can suggest that has female characters with nicer boobs than Sophia. For science.....

4x100% on Saturday or Sunday. Probably some testing required, so 7/12 release is a good bet.

dude literally every page has someone asking that, please just spend 20 seconds searching
"literally every page", the last related post was a week ago, looking through wouldn't be needed if there was a guide post wouldn't it. That's why i'm asking.

As this update is for those playing the boarding school route, the update being pointless has nothing to do telling Dylan to "GTFO".
But more to do with it being a non-Sophia event.

are we there yet?
Oh wait, I don't get any content in the next update due to choices I made in my main game.
So I'm wondering while typing this
what does Sophia get up to when the cameras are not on?
what has she done when we're all not looking at her?
how many times has she masturbated while waiting for someone to fuck her when the cameras are on?
A wandering mind is wondering about these things

I don't believe there's a moment this playable day so far when the cameras aren't on her. As far as I'm aware, even if you're playing this update, Sophia is just chilling in the living room which we've already seen.are we there yet?
