I have been in contact with Sarica and he has confirmed, the translation is still in progress. I also got to playtest a portion of it and I can only say, its looking really really good
This is not just some barebones MTL assisted translation, this is a fully manual translation on par with professional localization from someone who knows Japanese
It will be worth the wait, so I would not spoil my experience with a shitty MTL patch.
I was just given permission to let you all know so yeah, try to keep having faith. I was not given a release date(because we know how that usually goes xD). He has decided to not post here before the project is complete, probably for good reason.
That is all, lets remember Sarica is giving us this high quality translation FOR FREE and is using his own free time to work on it. It will be worth the wait
