Now, this is just another progress update for the 1 guy (or none should I say) who reads them. Also, if you didn't notice, I released
chapter 1 as a demo of sorts the other day so check it out if you're interested. That said, progress is going well like usual and I have nearly completed translating chapter 3. That is good because as of this moment I am now around 2/3 way through (the other chapters are way shorter) translating the game as a whole. Yay! Now, I have got some bad news. I wanted to put that demo out so I could cross it off my bucket list, and so I could also reach a stopping point of sorts. Don't cry now, I'm not calling it quits. I'm just going to be taking a little break from GOS2 for a short while to work on a few other things. Mostly Terra Formars and Higurashi related. That said, GOS2 thus far has been pretty decent. It has its moments but it also has its downfalls. The voice acting sounds tiresome, and the amount of strolling around and text you encounter becomes tedious from time to time, or regularly should I say. Either or, don't expect much from GOS2. Its nothing special, save for a few funny jokes and moments here and there, joke endings, yada yada yada, so you aren't missing much if you ignore it when I end up finish translating.
Anyway, there are only two more things I want to mention below before ending this post. First, Denzel Washington actually makes a bizarre cameo in this game. I mean, why? Granted, it did get a chuckle out of me but he just appears and is never seen again. He doesn't even meet the cast, but that would be funny and we can't have that. Grr. Wasted opportunity. Second, I want to talk about the part in GOS2 where Asuka calls Kaworu a "tanbi-man", where I just adapted it as faggot. Now, what the first part (tanbi) literally translates to is "aesthetic", but it is more of a term used for yaoi and the like. Taking that into account, I could have just had left it as tanbi-man or took a more passive approach and adapted it as gayboy instead of faggot, but I didn't feel right with either so the latter was my first and only choice. What can I say, I'm a big troll. Anyhow, I also translated one of Toji's chikuso's as fucker, which is directed at Shinji during that scene. All said and done, I'll continue progress on GOS2 at a later date. I don't know when, but it shouldn't be far off from now. See ya!
P.S. - It also seems that nobody bothered to comment on the
Evageeks topic that I posted months back. I'm kinda disappointed.
