Not only an additional full chapter. But he's also confirmed a sequel, aswell as trying to branch the game as far as possible through methods like steam. Nothing but the wildest respect for the guy.

Jesus... february 2021 was the chapter 1 beta, so that's 2 years of development for chapters 2-5 and the bad end... Some devs barely manage to release a single chapter in that time and start and abandon several projects... Unironically gonna support him once I have more disposable income, cause these work ethics deserve more recognicion.

I already raised my support to 3 times what normal support level is *Just cause I have to share files as part of what I'm doing right now and I feel like he deserves the support. Especially since he normally also responds to every Ci-En post I make to him
Remember, the first two chapters is what demo consists of, and those alone are much better than a really big chunk of DLsite games concerning the topic.
Maybe today, in 2021 he released a first demo and it was just the first chapter, saying he was starting work on chapter 2 then and there, making the development time of over 80% of the game about 2 years. That's actually insane, especially for a "niche" game that focuses on bdsm. Like, some of the highest paid patreon games approach a decade of development and aren't nearly as polished as this.

Honestly i would probably change the word entirely as the meaning is lost and can be seen more seriously than it really is. Changing loser to something more cutesy like dummy would fit better as it wouldnt sound as serious. This is something that real translators have to finagle around with sometimes with translations thanks to the honourfic system. Perfect accuracy is not always the best.
I mean you still have to make decisions and figure out what makes the most sense and all that, which is pretty hard to do with just the machine wrangling P: A lot of thought and care has to go into some of this -nods sagely-
God damn that brings back memories X'D
I think the changes are good stuff. Not sure which is best tho.
Maybe something like this could work too
"Eeeeeh? You lost to us?!Only losers lose to level 1 fairies!!"
I think this is neat.
!Though you m ight look at word placements. When i first looked at it, i read it in lines, not columns.
This guy kind of reminds me of me whenever i work on projects. I put my all into it until im satisfied that its complete.
Wouldnt be surprised if he was no lifeing it with back to back 16 hour work days, similar to me xD "Itll be fine, itll only take a couple days."

Yeah. And all of the details and everything in the world. I find myself interacting with things everywhere just to see what Luna says all the time. This game deserves every cent that gets thrown at it. It feels like a high end product for sure. And the work put in is very infectious. I cant help but want to do better work myself as i go, which is silly when one considers just how hard i already work myself when doing projects xD! I hope we can get the translation to be just as good.

I originally did start to go across like the english text but found out it didn’t work anywhere near Aswell as just keeping the old Japanese formatting to it in English. I think they look decent but if when I finish them all people don’t like I can always change to across!
All the other text is read from top to bottom too in most of these, my hope is that since mea is halfway into the game, someone would already understand my style and be able to read it fine. But we can see. If you look at my chapter 2 post I made, Risty is even read from right to left which looks strange but it’s how the original was and I’m trying to stick with original meaning and formatting as best I can.

For the “level one fairy” suggestion made by https://f95zone.to/members/millyrainbow.609579/ your phrasing is actually on the very bottom image alreayd unless I’m mistaken. The only change is the Ehhhh. While I could add it, the speech bubble is tight already and it wasn’t in the original Japanese. I’ll make a draft of it when I begin working just to see how it’ll look though.

The suggestion with mea made me look back on all of them so far… some of them are read from right to left and others are left to right… atelast with those ones are obvious enough for the meaning- like the scarlet shroom in chapter 1 I posted……
I hope!!!

Just to let you know the dev updated his Ci-En site plans for paid supporters next. The next battle to get a "Rework is going to be"
2023年8月：
・魔法少女ルナの災難 アップデート 一部テストプレイ（予定）
＊４章ユイを予定
Which is Yui vs Faikia (The ice girls partner from chapter 4)
Wonder how he's gonna implement that. There was no obvious point shown at which Yui got caught unlike with other 3.

I belive it was when Luna got teleported into the shed in chapter 4- Right after the hospital scene with parfeta when they wanted to go to playland. I'm assuming everyone else got teleported to other places too

Cheers, I'm onto the 4th chapter right about now But since some of the phrasing/formatting is akward and whatnot i'm waiting for a response from someone before I start. Chapter 4 should be finished by tonight or tommorow i hope.

I need suggestions for this on. the first and third characters are both "ba"and I belive the other one is I which makes it "BaiBai" if the other one is nothing it makes it "BaBa" which means old lady and that still doesnt make much sense.
Does anyone have any ideas?

assuming it does say baibai. It is probably in reference to Core disposing the victim. I personally think "...Bye" would work here.

Got it, I was thinkining of going with "ByeBye...." but a single bye also works.

Another question regarding these stamps. As of right now im trying to keep the orignal format as it changes depending on the stamp. "Sometimes its right to left other times it's left to right reading"
Should I keep them all uniform, I-e All right to left in column or all left to right in column.
Stick to what i'm doing now, and copying the formatting of the orignal.
Or just abandon the column all together and make it fully English and read across from left to right(the one that changes the original the most and that I personally think is the worse)
(it's normall fairly obvious which way to read- use the scarlet shroom below for example)
But sometimes I can be a bit more difficult. Take this Risty stamp for example
In my opinion is right to left as the heart is on the left side normally. But someone might read it from right to left(Which luckily in this case still works)

I think they should stick to english reading order. so try to maintain left to right if reading order doesn't look immediately obvious, in this case I think you should reverse Risty's texts.
