B011 finished. gp32 has no more sympathy for any of the characters any longer. In fact, gp32 is going to go off and play Immaterial and Missing Power now ...

B005, B007, B009 finished.　心のかけら　さがしにゆこう!

B001 and B003 finished. gp32 is now primary maintainer of this document. Document format changed to meet the spec of all other project pages. NNL joint venture text added to "Scope" section.

Part A now finished. Heading into the endgames.

We are closing in on the end of Part A now. In preparation for the insani website launch, we have converted this update text into HTML form. The sections have been rearranged a little in order to better match this web-based format. GipFace continues as the primary writer of this document.

It's been a month since the last update, but please take a look at the number to the left of this text. Could it be that we've actually passed the halfway mark? Oh yes, oh yes! Now we're at a point where few game translation projects ever end up at. Could there actually be enough minority spirit in the wind for this translation project to actually succeed? Perhaps when Canada wins a gold medal at the olympics, maybe!

There are less than 2500 lines remaining in part A. Once that's done, the real fun (squishing noises and second-rate pulp fiction writing) will begin. Oh my!

Some people who have not played the demo were wondering why this project began in the first place. Others are wondering why it's still continuing even though I said the project was virtually dead in the demo readme. Therefore, I've added a little history section which should answer all of your questions. Some of it was copied from the demo readme. Please excuse my laziness. I've added an additional comment, too.

Unfortunately, time is up for our "lead translator" Kokushi_Musou. It's been over four months since he's started A003 and he's still not finished yet, going AWOL for the past month and not informing anyone of his whereabouts. Due to time constraints regarding consistency in lines that are the same in the TV anime, I am forced to kick KM off the team. We appreciate all that he did for us (critiquing gp32's work), but a pace of just five translated lines a day simply isn't going to cut it. It's a shame that the benefits of a translation tandem didn't blossom as we had hoped. sagara is now the lone EroShift member remaining on the project, and the translation (and virtually the whole project) now rests on the shoulders of gp32. He's one-third of the way there so why not give him some kind words for reaching this far?

On a side note, we've renamed certain scripts to their TV anime episode counterparts. If an episode covers more than one script, I've renamed the script which is the main focus of the episode.

Added a localization progress chart because the translation isn't the only thing we have to do. We've also started to mark which scripts have an equivalent Wind TV episode. Updated info on how the endgame clearing works. This file is now being mirrored on NNL's site because EroShift updates too infrequently. Not that NNL has been any better lately ...

gp32 finishes a flurry of short scripts. Due to real-life work, he'll be taking a well-deserved break until July 9th. On the other hand, I'll be busy over the next two weeks trying to fansub the new Wind KSS OVA. Take care!

We've figured out a whole bunch of things pertaining to the script. Some of our conceptions were disproved, such as Part A being the linear portion of the game. A number of the scripts are redundant so our work has been cut down just a little bit. Added a comment section because many people think we can't do this. Yay!

Progress has slowed a bit because gp32 was working on a project that we'll announce later. However, that project is finished (for now) and we should get back on track. We've figured out the order of the first meaningful decision point and have listed it in the progress chart. In other news, KM has disappeared again ... *sigh*

There were some mistakes in the date order of the game, so we've fixed all that. We've hit our first decision point AND double-digits in the total script translation! gp32 has committed himself up to A023 since both paths at A015 eventually lead up to A025.

gp32 finishes three (!) scripts over the weekend. KM is slowly but surely getting A003 done. We'll re-evaluate our position after A003 and A017 are finished. Ed updates his decoder to work with the V1.02 scripts.

Unfortunately, the previous stats and updates used the scr.pak from v1.00. There was a v1.02 scr.pak patch that we weren't aware of, and everything had to be recalculated all over again. The new a029_1 doesn't decode properly, so Ed will have to fix that. gp32 finishes A011 and A013, starts work on A005. Since KM hasn't responded lately, gp32 is willing to do up to A017. The TL check backlog can't become much larger or else we'll be overwhelmed ...

gp32 finishes A009 after overdosing on coffee. Starts work on A011 and A013.

gp32 joins the team. We hope the project will be much faster as a result of this. KM finally wakes up, having most of his work for the school year done and over with.

KM receives all the final decoded scripts from Ed. Starts work on A003.
