Translation Project Questions
« on: Feb. 19, 2007, 08:13:28 PM »
Being a huge Ys fan I can not thank all the hard work that NightWolve and of course Duece have put into these projects. Without them the Ys saga would have died along with the TurboDuo to us English speakers. I was just wondering (a simple overview) of what it takes to create one of these great translations.

1) Dedication to the point of insanity.

2) Did I mention dedication to the point of insanity? Oh right, I did.

3) Ego, and lots of it. It really can't happen without that.

4) Spare time.

5) A combination of one good programmer and one good translator, both being Ys fans that grew up with the series while at the same time being polar opposites in terms of worldview, that somehow by an odd twist of fate ran into each other in their late 20s. Was it destiny? ...

Short of that, it is not possible to create such translation patches.

That's the way they all became the Brady Bunch...

Jeff "Call me DeuceBag!" Nussbaum - The greatest criminal in fan translation history! A lying, conniving, thieving, scheming, backstabbing monster of epic proportions!
The greatest criminal cheat in localization history himself: Jeff Nussbaum
Jeff Deuce was nothing more than a Neo-Geo.com Turbo Troll. If I knew he was a member, I would've banned him from my PC Engine forum in 2002 and sent him back to Neo-Geo where he belongs with Psycho Dox Shroom and the rest of the FilthyRear gang...
As Neo-Geo.com is known for hosting KKKFarms trolls, a killer, $20,000 SNK cart scams, Jeff represents the fan localization scam side of things... He hijacked my Ys fan projects, CAT translation software, THOUSANDS of free work hours pro-bono under fan terms, all for commercial profit behind my back, in secret collusion with the XXXSEED Games internal pedophile, Tom-chan Wyrdwad Lipschultz!
DO NOT LET HIM IN YOUR FAN PROJECTS! He's a dirty, filthy, psycho defamation liar! Pure malice, hatred, extortionist defamation to intimidate, silence those he victimized in the past!
His (and Tom-chan's) "I was spammed, I need the Police, the FBI, bodyguards!" smears for the simple demand of a perfectly fair $550 settlement was a tactical play-the-victim manipulation for the audience reading it, all the while laughing behind a computer, the evil bastard that he is!
I feel gypped, I did all this work on Ys localization projects and Jeff never ONCE thought to send me one of his infamous cock-shots, only his neo-geo.com pals received that "special surprise!" What a "great" company XXXSEED Games is, they sure know how to pick 'em!

It's too bad you aren't an actual localization company, it'd be sweet to see your works in stores lol
If only there was some kind of scaled localization fee, so it would be affordable early on yet profitable for them later as well. 
Still, if you ever do go commercial be sure to let us know ;)
