The End

Again.

Here's the English v2.0 release. And, if you haven't seen it already, do check out the character popularity poll results.

All in all, there's a good chunk of new text in the end-game scene room, but you might end up disappointed in some cases since many of them are extremely short. There are tidbits of information about the VoN world here and there though that I found quite interesting. On the matter of the Mea/Mare name, since the polls on ended up favoring the former, I decided not to go back and edit her name. I did add in a little info on the matter in Mea's character profile that wasn't there originally, however.

Anyway. Now that that's all finished up, I'll probably be sticking around for a week, potentially fix any reported bugs/grammatical errors, and then leave and never look back. This project ended up being far longer and more involved than I initially figured that one bored afternoon when I started. Honestly, I'm not particularly proud of the work, because I played fast and loose with the translation more times than I would have liked (both for the new content and the older stuff), but in this case it came from a sort of desperation that if I didn't I'd never finish it.

I did have some fun, but this has been an exhausting endeavor, and I'm glad it's finished. Again. It's not exactly the most polished project, but regardless of my feelings on the matter, I hope you've enjoyed it.

Sincerely,

Progress [08/15/12]

All after story translations are complete.

A tad later than I'd hoped, but I've finished up the last bit of text. I still need to go over all of the new stuff to proofread, as well as make sure there aren't any programming errors with the scene replays (which I know there at least SOME I need to fix), but I believe I'll be releasing version 2 of Village of Nightmare sometime tomorrow (08/16/12).

Also, as the poll on the right can tell you, there's a very large majority in favor of just keeping the main character's name as Mea, so I'll be doing that. Sorry, people who voted for Mare!

EDIT:

On another note, I've also decided to end the character popularity poll today. I figure since I'm hopefully going to be done with this project by tomorrow (barring a short extended stint to fix any errors), I should wrap up everything I've left sort of hanging. If you haven't voted for your favorite character, be sure to do so be today!

Progress [08/10/12]

So, tomorrow's the deadline. Or was. You see, I've been unable to work on this thing the last week (I didn't have access to the PC with the necessary data/programs on it) due to some family matters, and while I have gotten some work done previous to that, I don't really think I can finish the remaining stories in the set time limit.

Anyway, it's vexing, but given that I original set the limit with the thought of having a relatively free summer, I decided I'd rather extend it a bit than give up on it due to outside circumstances. I'll be adding six more days to the time limit, since there are eight different after stories left.

tl;dr: New deadline. August 17th. Damn it.
