Progress [07/14/12]

Okay, so here's the rundown. I tried easing myself back into this in May and failed to do much of anything. It's not so much a lack of free time now as it is a total lack of motivation. I've realized that I've just pretty much lost all interest in translating this, as despite numerous attempts at working on it, I've only barely been able to translate a word or two.

I had fun with this game before, but now it's more like a burden hanging onto my shoulders. Thing is, I'd really hate to leave it unfinished given I do like a few of the afterstories, and as I said at the beginning, they're really not very long individually. So, I sat down today and forced myself to complete two afterstories and finish up half of another one I'd gotten down way back before I drifted away from it. It wasn't really fun, but I feel it's something I need to do so I can just close this project once and for all and move on.

So, basically, I've decided to set a deadline for myself. Setting up a routine is important for all things you want to actually work, so I'm going to translate at least an afterstory a day from this point on. Minus the ones I've already completed, that leaves 28 different afterstories (as some characters have more than one), and 28 days for me to finish up this game.

If I don't finish it in 28 days, then I'm going to have to give up, as this is my last ditch effort to actually get my lazy ass to complete this game. So, it's either going to be done or bust by the 11th of August. It'd be nice if I could finish it before then, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. Even if I fail to finish it completely, I'll still release it with whatever I have finished translating, so you'll at least get something at that point.

Anyway, below my ramblings, I have the standard progress report. I'm not sure if I'm going to be making too many of them this time around, but given how I want to set up a routine, maybe I will.
