The entirety of Sister Travel is likely going to be largely retconned when it gets remade. This isn't a prequel to the existing Sister Travel game, it's a prequel to the one that hasn't been made yet that's coming out after the imouto life remake.
Are you sure? The ending of the DLC seems to lead directly into the beginning of Sister Travel, what with
I didn't say that sister travel isn't connected to it, it obviously is, you're just looking at the wrong sister travel. It's already been confirmed that after imouto life gets remade sister travel is being remade. So the easiest assumption is that any continuity errors currently existing are going to be addressed through retcons in the remake.
Oh sweet, I didn't know they were remaking Sister Travel, I thought Sister Explorer was supposed to be a totally separate game.
I personally haven't heard of Sister Travel getting a remake, but currently there is no connection between the original Sister Travel outside of similar characters designs as much as some people say otherwise. Will they connect them? The DLC points in that direction, but until a remake happens any and all connections are simply head canon. Reusing character designs is not new with Inusuku, the idol girl Melody you meet in Sister Travel has the same exact design as Inusuku's first heroine of the first two Limit Oniichan!? series. She even wearing the same outfit.
So Inusuku's remaking Monochrome, remaking Sister Travel, AND making a brand new game? That's some terrifying ambition.
Yeah, it's entirely possible that he just enjoys making references to his other stuff just for the fun of it. Dude is a memer, even in this game there are references to all sorts of silly internet culture things, so it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to just add his own Imoutoverse references as Easter eggs with no serious intent behind them. There's no way of knowing if he wants to do more with it until he goes and does it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well you found the hidden stuff. There's also a dream scene that unlocks afterward which has them talking to each other, and the mandrake is in it.
It's probably going to be more of a reboot, because the explorer demo implies it's a sequel to Travel.
You'd have to do the work of copying over the official translation for the original parts of the game, and then using this translation for the DLC parts. Or wait for Shade to finish off the translation since it's still missing parts due to local election issues taking up lots of his translating time.
I appreciate the info and link. I think there's a perfect middle ground between literal translation and localization that a lot of TLers seem to miss (again no shade thrown... pun intended), I'll have to check that one out as well. I wish Shade luck with the local issues.
There is definitely no way to entirely please everyone, and different people have different priorities, but for me personally, readability is indeed a big factor in the enjoyment one gets from a translation, possibly even more so than accuracy. If a translation is pleasant enough and plausibly faithful, you probably won't even think about its accuracy, or at least not be concerned enough about it for it to damage the experience. If it reads poorly, on the other hand, it makes it easier to get frustrated with every other error as well and just end up feeling worse about everything.
I think it also depends on how story heavy a game is. If we're talking about this game, sure, a little inaccuracy is probably fine. If we're talking about Sister Travel, hell no, accuracy is important. There's parts to that game where I have to wonder if the person doing the translating themselves understand what the hell is going on plot-wise.
This. And for the love of god, if a game is character driven like Kozue's Strange Journey. Don't mess up their characters by trying to add in western phrases and memes. Like Kozue's Strange Journey.
I remember hearing someone say something like "bad localizers view their job as a creative role instead of a technical role" which is probably the most succinct criticism I've heard about shitty localizations.
