If it’ll help I can do it for every stamp if you would like. It shouldn’t take too long I’ll just need a chunk of free time

Yeah the attachment is my edit lol. Thanks for thinking it fits. They’re fun to do actually. I’ve been printing out the images and writing on them manually, and then scanning them again to re-upload. I’ll do the rest of the first chapter when I get time and see how it all looks, we can decide where to go from there!

Chapter one stamps are finished. Some of the Japanese text was awkward for me to work with so I had to interpreted with my limited japanese but I think it looks fine.
Edit- I'd like to also mention that chapter 4 was a pain to work with. there was one character I couldn't figure out for the life of me with Anupico but it was followed by Onee San- so I assumed it was talking about Ars so I went with "Big Sister Ars"for that one.

Yeah thinking about it more, I think it works. I think people don't like it because it seems silly and whimsical in situations where it isn't contextually said in English. But the game is pretty whimsical and I think it fits.
Which files should be replaced with these? The filenames are all untitled.
Or are these not ready to be brought into the game?
Also, when running into something vague when the text says "Onee- san", would it not be appropriate to just leave that in original Japanese? I think it can be assumed that people playing a Japanese fan translated game have a level of basic understanding of very common phrases, and can at worst google them. Idk, maybe I'm coming from a different perspective because I'm not experienced here.

The images are in a finished state but I’m going to upload a full file with all of them when they are finished. What I sent now is only a work in progress (in case anyone notices any changes that I can make for them)
as for onee san, the actual text is in Japanese characters not englishcharacters so I mayaswell go the whole way. It says something online the lines of “Zakko onee Chan” to my knowledge. And the closest I could find for Zakko was Zako meaning trash but. “Big sister thrash” doesn’t sound like anupico to me.

Also here's the chapter 2 stamps finished. I had to take a great liberaty with Lisa's as to my knowledge the actual Japanese was "My dirty tools will begin to make you act as an animal" which didn't sound too great to me so i had a little fun with it. Hope they all look good
*Edit- I made a slight mistake with Risty cause I was working on it super early in the morning lol. It's meant to say "Trained" instead of "Done". I'll upload the edited version when I upload chapter 3.
14:44 GMT- Risty is fixed now, I’ll post the fixed version here.

Hey just wondering, I was on the developers ci-en recently, has anyone played the demo's for the new fights yet? Are they actually new fights with new restraints, or just "recolors" of the already existing ones with a bit of new dialogue?

They do all have new restraints yeah. However they are just slightly changed versions of the ones Luna has when fighting the same boss just with a different character
And if you can actually read Japanese there's a lot of dialogue too. It's similar to the post game final boss in dialogue length

When I was translating I made a decision to omit honorifics early, and by the time I wished I hadn't, I was too deep in the project to revert it. So at this point I'd say omitting honorifics from these images as well would just keep things more consistent.

I decided to go with "Trashy Big Sister, Don't give up, do your best!" based on what Pico says to Luna in the BAD end mode and her game over scene as I couldn't interpret it as anything else. Any suggestions on an alternative from anyone

Ah, zako is usually translated as loser and is a beloved phrase of mesugaki (cheeky lolis) everywhere.
You must be registered to see the links
Given the connotation of trashy in English, I would strongly recommend going with loser if it's not too late to change.

Okay, I decided to go (via suggestion from the translator) with Puny and ended up with the following result.
Do you think that works okay?

Synapse42517gjs Isn't that... a little inaccurate? I mean, it's works and fits the smug theme, but the text is
ざこおねーさんに
負けるわけ
ないのです
which every machine tells me is "I can't lose to Zako-oneesan" once I collapse it down into one line. I'd probably would've went "There's no way Loser-oneesan can beat me" (though I see 12asdasdasd34 opted against honorifics so it'd be inconsistent with the rest of the game).

Yeah,It's inaccurate to the base text,My first bet was "There's no way i'd lose to a loser like you" but in every single other part where she's in. her text is more motivational towards luna and sympathetic. so I decided to keep the smug aura but make it more caring.
(this is the exact reason I normally don't attempt to translate myself and stick to proofreading, my sense of choices in this stuff is atrocious lol)

I will change to what you said though, It does fit better. I'll go with." There's no way that loser can beat me!"
Cause that removes the honorific aswell. Does that work for you?
OK I changed Chapter 3 and 4's names in recollection room to be "Magical Girl Luna's Alliance." and Chapter 4 to match the English title I currently went with. I no longer remember why I titled chapter 3 as 'dream' but it probably wasn't a good decision to begin with.
I also fixed couple more typos and when Japanese images will get edited by the others in here I will take them and release a new patch that fixes these inconsistencies.
And calling me a translator is being a little generous. At most I'm a machine output wrangler.

I've worked with a couple of other translators before on this kind of stuff and normally they don't put as much effort into stuff as you have to this game. I for one think "translator" is a pretty apt title.
