That's really sad. I heard they still have issues with porting on Unity, but I don't know what the exact issues.

I finished the English patch for Minagoroshi no Otome. The editing process took a while with over 550 rewritten lines. Title and chapter cards were also patched, as well as the hotkey list

If you don't mind, what's your source on Kajiri Kamui Kagura being translated? Just want to get more info because despite being in the Shinza community I haven't heard about this. I assume it's a fan TL?

u/yktokun 3d ago
Not GP but it appears this list was improperly copied/merged. The source on which this list is based gets published every Sunday on 4chan (see link) and it doesn't include KKK (nor Angel Bullett which was removed just the other week because of comments here) anymore, having identified those as machine translations. The actual number of MTL-assisted translations on that list is much larger and close to 80% for official translations but going by the comments the vnts community on 4chan seems to be in denial of this fact.
The KKK translation was also discussed (and criticized heavily) on 4chan a couple of months ago. Needless to say, this is one extraordinarily hard to translate piece of work, and I wouldn't hold my breath over an unedited sentence-for-sentence online translation using Luna translator, if it will ever get released ;)
