Re: Virgin's Protection Magic Translation
Regarding RPGMaker Trans: The priority at the moment is to get XP/VX/VX Ace reliable and the frameworks generic enough to support expansion to further game engines. Once that's done MV support should actually be pretty easy as it's all JSON files. And as there already exists a Python library for unpacking Enigma VirtualBox files, I should even be able to support packed files as well.
Wolf on the other hand... Well, it's all contingent on me being able to decipher arc_conv and the packed Wolf format sufficiently. There is already a project called WolfTrans, and while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of RPGMaker Trans, the main reason it doesn't see a lot of use because it requires manual packing/unpacking of the Wolf files with arc_conv. I'm fairly good at this kind of thing mind, but Wolf is certainly a more challenging prospect that MV.
And the other one I mentioned, KiriKiri (CBaku's games, Leane, Princess Sacrifice, a lot of other stuff)... The main obstacle here is the custom scripting languages that it uses. My attempts at doing a Ruby parser were... well, not particularly good, and I'm currently retooling to the parser from a syntax highlighting library. I kinda dread having to write a parser for KiriKiri script, although I'm hoping to be able to get away with a minimally modified Javascript parser.
Anyhow, enough on RPGMaker Trans. People can keep an eye on the RPGMaker Trans website for that (there's even an RSS feed as well), as well as any discussion in comments.
On the main subject of VPM: My stats file says I need to translate about 600 more dialogues before I hit my 70% target.
EDIT: Not worth a post, but it's worth saying - I've just completed all the defeat H-scenes. These are probably the toughest to translate in terms of motivational issues; A lot of it is just moaning, which is irritating to translate at the best of times, but there is something about translating lots and lots of rape scenes which is damaging to motivation. Hopefully the balance of the other H-scenes in the game will not be as taxing.
