To play a little devil's advocateOmg finally someone who agrees with me instead of telling me I should be grateful to Kagura games for even bothering in the first place.
I AM thankful for them. But making well over a dozen announcements for future releases, with absolutely NO estimated release date, NO updates and plastering their names on so many projects so they will deter and discourage anyone else from taking them on before taking, in extreme cases, almost a couple of years to release is very shitty.
I've bought their translations since they first started. Do you have any idea how fast these guys used to release them ? every TWO OR SO MONTHS at one point and I gladly supported every single one, before they started taking longer, and longer as their popularity grew.
In regards to SV, they were waiting for OneOne1 to release 2.0 and the append, which didn't get released until
late Oct 2022. The game also has about One million characters which is equal to about 25000-55000 words. They also only apply one translator to a project at a time, and the translator was probably working on other projects at the same time. Add all that up, then include however much time it takes for them to get Steam's approval, which can be fickle depending on who at Valve is handling the evaluation, and you get an idea of why it took them so long to release their translation of the game.
They also announced SV before they adopted a policy of not announcing games until they've at least finished their initial translation and probably in the final stages of localization. Which I think they took up some at the start of this year, or late 2022. Which is why some of their recent releases have had a shorter time frame between initial announcement and release.
