I thought touhou stuff is forbidden to be digitally distributed. Has zun changed his mind? 3peso doesnt care?
Why melonbooks but not dlsite? Ive never used either sooo. But Ill prob use dlsite if whatever reason you have is t applicable to me.

I honestly have no clue how that digital distribution ban is supposed to work, if at all. But there is a plethora of touhou stuff on melonbooks and dlsite. As far as I can tell, the whole thing is just a big misunderstanding.

Search for Touhou

There's tons of doujinshi, games, music, etc on there. The new AQUA STYLE game is on there, for example. Arcanum Knights and the Special Disk are on melonbooks, so I'm hoping LoT2 shows up as well.

The reason I prefer melonbooks is because they actually accept my credit card. I'm pretty sure Japanese dlsite blocks American credit cards in some situations (I can't do it last I tried. Other people can), but I've never had any problem with melonbooks. And they let you sign up with your pixiv account, which simplifies things greatly.

I see, thanks. Though from what I can tell on dlsite it's more of a wishlist order than a pre-order since the price is apparently just an estimation (although maybe google translate just borks it up). 1800 yen though, that's less than 20 bucks canadian. I like physical copies myself but I'm low on cashes atm qq. Plus forza might have a hard time grabbing so many copies as is.

So the Comiket Wikipedia page said that C84 will be held from 10 to 12 ( 2 days from now ). While Touhouwiki said :
2013-08-12 Comiket 84 (Touhou only)
Does this mean that on the final day of Comiket only Touhou related products are sold ? I'm not familiar with Comiket's structure.

Usually it's on the 2nd day. This year is odd in that it's on the last day.

Nice trailer, and the box art is pretty neat
With the golden sword floating in the intro, looks like the Sword of Kusanagi will be the plot of it

Also, looks like at around 1min, they mispelled "東方peoject", whoops eh

Not that I'm an expert but I thought the final days of comiket used to be h/18+ day.

It is. There's not much point in pre-ordering a digital copy of something, since you have unlimited supply and almost instant delivery. Once comiket opens dlsite will be open for purchase, and hopefully melonbooks dl will too.

I wouldn't worry too much about N-Forza not being able to get enough copies. He's almost certainly going to be buying the majority of them off of shops and not from the convention. I get the feeling he'll be busy enough as-is with just the convention exclusive items.

If I recall correctly, ZUN didn't want oversees digital distribution. I believe the specifics were something along the lines that it's fine for people oversees to find and buy from Japanese sites, but the circle can't advertise in America/Canada/etc. and specifically try to find a market outside of where they made it.

Edit: Nevermind, found a post explaining it. It basically boils down to "Talk to him first before selling anything inspired by or related to Touhou. He retains the right to veto anything he finds distasteful.".

Considering that that's their normal work, I can see why they got the job.

Agh, being so close to the game coming out is making me lose motivation to play anything else.

Right, English patch... Crap, my wait just got longer. I'm not used to getting Touhou games right as they come out.

About how long did it take for the English patch for LoT1 to come out? From when people started working on it till when it was released to the public.

Good news.
I'm free most of the following week so I can immediately start working once the game hits.
Of course, provided that you guys give me the translation of the new stuffs  :V :V :V :V

I'm not sure if there's going to be a lot of other pictures to do, but if there is, it's always good to do them, since images are not really going to change so you can do it very early.

While for english patch, it's probably going to take some times to produce one, part because there is a lot of translation left, and part because every new game patch will need a new translation patch, so we'll most likely wait a bit before releasing anything (at least, that's how I understand it)

I would say the first patch, and the first things I'm going to work on and finish, is going to be menus, spells, skills, achievements, enemies, text in battles, stuff like that. The story itself will take a while if we don't have any other translators, since it's a very large part of the game, and since I'm starting back school very shortly, my progress will somewhat get slowed. I feel that the in-game content that is use to play the game is more important than the story in terms of actually playing the game, so that's why I want to focus on that first, though a lot of it is already finished from the trial, so it'll save a bit of time.

And hey, if you got some time to waste, you can always use an hex editor with the text dump and the wiki to modify some part of it like what I tried and butchered earlier on. It's not pretty and you can't do much, but that's a start, no?

That's terrible! We need the story translated!


I kid of course. :P I'm willing to help out as best I can. Unfortunately I don't understand a lick of Japanese so best I could really do is provide screenshots for stuff. I got a lot of free time to focus on it so it won't be too much of a problem there.

That's completely understandable. I somehow doubt that they decided to make the sequel drastically more serious in tone than the first one anyways. As long as I know what the heck the options are, I'll be happy.

Thanks for putting the time and effort into translating all of this, kuilfrayt Krve, and everyone else who's working on this.

Aside from the fact that this is my last year, I'm going to put a lot of work into the following week.

Did you ever clean those images? Because that has to be done for the full game.

And hey, if you got some time to waste, you can always use an hex editor with the text dump and the wiki to modify some part of it like what I tried and butchered earlier on. It's not pretty and you can't do much, but that's a start, no?

Don't do that.

No, really. Don't. It'd just be a waste of time. I have tools to handle that kind of thing.



Also I wouldn't expect a quick English patch. It's going to be a really big game. This is going to take a while to finish, potentially nasty hacking to be done, and tons of time of playtesting. Which people can volunteer for when the time comes and not right now, although I do insist that beta patches be kept private and not given to everyone freely. I had enough trouble with that crap with LoT1.

Regarding translators, I'll email Deranged once the game is available on digital stores (11 am EST, most likely) and see if he's still interested.

Derp, I totally forgot that.
Anyhow, just tell me what images to clean.
Besides, it's not like we will notice any differences when playing.
Edit: I see what you mean, frankly you're right.
I'll see what I can do what them, but Base_LNB is out of the picture. I simply don't have the skills.

As soon as you can, forward me another text dump as well, cause i find it really useful. Since I'm buying a physical copy of the game and not downloading it, I won't have it for a while, so work on it without that would be hard to start eh
