It would be way easier to create a list of official localizations that respect the source material than ones that disrespect the source material. Even most companies that people seem to think do okay are actually shit since they intentionally leave out lines they don't like from the translation or change them to reflect their own moral beliefs. That's what happens when it's all run by unprofessional self-righteous normals.

Wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention /jp/. I never played any of their translations, but I'd seen screenshots thanks to the viral marketing on 4chan and thought that they looked clever and well done. I think I may have even told a few people I know that they seem like a decent translation group, and that it's cool to see someone doing larger scale releases for smaller doujin games. I guess I somehow managed to miss this discussion back when it originally happened, and never realized they were such shitlords.

I'm really glad I never bought any of their stuff, and I'll make sure never to pay any money to any place that might benefit them, and tell everyone I know not to do so either.

The original one sold extremely poorly compared to that. I forgot the exact amount but you can find it by searching the archive.

It was a while ago, yeah. Also I think it was a separate group but their activity started to dwindle, so Slowbeef took over.

>Andrew Dice – The realistic expectation was that we’d sell something on the order of ten thousand copies in six months, and that was toward the “optimistic” end of the scale. We had a lot of reasons for suspecting this kind of number: we were a brand new company nobody had ever heard of, thus there was no pre-existing confidence in us, our product didn’t have any real promotional material beforehand, it was Japanese and therefore Weird in the minds of potential customers (and yes, Japanese games do often struggle in the Western market on principle a bit these days), and relatedly, the smallish group of people who follow indie games from Japan already are notorious for engaging in piracy (because there was no real way to get content otherwise), and the game had been out for a few years already. We anticipated a “piracy rate” of between 95% and 98%. Most non-online PC games have a piracy rate somewhere between 50% and 80%.

Why would you photograph a nude girl unless you're a pedo? Now try to paint a realistic little girl. You need years of hard work to be able to do that and what pushes you to keep working hard is something else that being a pedo.

Original Gojira was an obvious allegorical take on nuclear weaponry and the outcome of it, this really isn't up for debate.

The original Japanese release of King Kong vs. Godzilla had a directional style comparable to Robocop with commercial advertisements laying down the tone of the film and Japanese men corrupting and bribing tribes with cigarettes and such.

Mothra vs. Godzilla featured themes of respect for the other men that the protagonist plead residents of Infant Island to help them because of Godzilla's destruction, but are refused because of Atomic testing and their society's previous refusal to give their trusted Mothra egg back to them. The Businessmen are represented by extreme greed and even kill each other over a locker filled with money.

Godzilla vs. Smog Monster represents Japan's plight to overcome pollution that a was significant issue for them at the time of the film's release.

Disrespect in the West can be attributed to deep-seated Xenophobia, treading all the way back to the "King of the Monsters" where Westerners were insulted by just how much more sincere and superior it was to their lackluster "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms," so content was butchered and naturally racist filmgoers received it poorly.

Bad dubbing and budgetary issues, along with MST3K, this thread is a fine example of not putting things into perspective and being raised to literally hate an artform you don't understand. Don't bother responding, I already blocked this thread.

Most MST3K-riffed films tried to have some deeper meaning (because SF usually did) and that's what makes them funny-bad and not just bad.

Godzilla is still a shoddy monster movie. The sequels are even worse. The closest I can think of in the West is horror franchises. A Nightmare on Elm Street was a good film. It wasn't art, it wasn't deep, but it was enjoyable. Then all the sequels were awful attempts to cash in on the idea.
Godzilla is the same, except the 1954 film was a typical 50s monster movie and the sequels were even worse.

I hate you so fucking much. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms was awesome and Ray Harryhausen's effects are better than any Godzilla film I've seen.

?

It's a fact that content in the King of the Monsters rerelease was heavily changed and badly dubbed, and was badly received because of it. Any film critic will also tell you that even though Gojira started off as being heavily inspired, Beast by comparison is just trite and banal.

It's also a fact that poor Hong Kong dubbing had to flood the market, and MST3K attracted a crowd of clueless nerds to make fun of an otherwise awesome Godzilla adventure film and a film that was made in two weeks with a lunch box budget, but they wouldn't know that and it only adds fuel to the fire. Just look at something like Power Rangers for more insight on Tokusatsu treatment in the West, it's terrible.

This is all pretty much a fact, so how am I autistic?

Yeah an insincere, bland monster movie where a stereotypical designed lizard breaks loose from a ice, breaks a few buildings, only to be killed off by the very tool that was used to bring birth to him in a goofy, chest beating conclusion of nuclear bullying is better than an emotional adventure of discovery, regret, abusive human nature and nuclear struggle.

>Around the time we were considering contacting EGS, a game came out. To avoid offending anyone, I’m not going to refer to it by name; we’ll call it The Game. I’d had the chance to play The Game in Japanese, and I felt it was probably one of the best games released. It was clever, fun, and had a real message to tell; through insidious satire it mercilessly pointed out and called out the worst of Japan’s nerd culture, all while containing incredibly human, incredibly touching stories.

>The Game was released in America shortly before all of this began. It wasn’t given anything close to the treatment it deserved.

Innocent people would never censor that, because innocent people wouldn't see it as sexual.

Which is true, and mostly as it should be, because pic related. Exceptions of course are where the gender of the speaker is actually relevant

It's any different contrary wise, either; I use male pronouns to describe you people, but it's not like you're anything more than text on a computer screen to me in the first place, so if you go "hurr durr I'm a guy" then nobody cares, as it should be

>/jp/ finds having sex with more than one person morally unacceptable and will shame you for it.

Setting aside the fact that you will obviously be banned for /soc/ and /b/ shit not even remotely related to the boards such as describing how many people you've fucked, personally I use the following rule of thumb for deciding if someone is a slut or not; divide their age by 10, round down, and multiply that number by 2. That is the slut threshold, and if you have had sex with a number of different people exceeding that number of your life, you are a revolting whore who cares more about cocks and vaginas than a healthy relationship

So, if you've had sex with more than 2 people at 18, you're a slut. If you've had sex with more than 4 people at 26, you're a slut. If you've had sex with more than 6 people at 32, you're a slut

>This seems like an awfully arbitrary rule.

If you have more than two relationships that go to third base in one decade, you've for one reason or another failed to pursue that relationship for any substantial amount of time. You're either poor relationship material, uninterested in a long term relationship, or just sex-thirty and can't stop fucking people. Perhaps some combination thereof

If you're feeling lenient, you could round up to the closest tens before dividing, so 26 would mean 6 total different sexual partners. I am not feeling lenient

>Why not 5 people at the age of 32? or 3?

Lower than the threshold is, of course, ideal. The lower the better. But it's only in going above it that you've demonstrated an average relationship lifespan of less than 5 years per sexual partner. That is steering into quite slutty territory, there

What are you even talking about? I know of no such meme. It's a good localization because it's actually memorable and fits Recette's cute chipper attitude. Seriously, "Hooray" is your alternative? Take the stick out of your ass

you have no right to decide whats "appropriate" based off your own opinions and neither can CF.

youre also unbelievably ignorant. yatta is not intrinsically memetic. yayishit is and has become one. this is unlike the shit in something like s;g where a meme can be localized with a meme, if youre localizing that much in the first place. i dont agree with it but its defensible.

yatta is a word. yayifishit isnt and thats just one of the problems.

you didnt know its a shit reddit tier meme? someone posted the macro in this very thread. /v/ adores it and used/es it since the localization released. all the dumb kids that play this use it, on their blogs, twitter, reddit, etc. again, your ignorance doesnt suddenly make this untrue.

and thats just ONE of the things CF sucks at. yayifishit exists but its still at the bottom of the barrel. in more ways rhan one.

Carpe Fulgur LLC was informally founded in December of 2009 by Andrew Dice and Robin Light-Williams. The company was formally registered in June of 2010.

The company was created in the vision of offering a localization group that could bring deserving works of interactive entertainment -- independently-made or otherwise -- from Japan to America while using the fruits of modern technology to collaborate as closely as possible with the original content creators, in order to create English-language versions of works that read naturally in English but were still as close as possible to the visions of the original creators. The two need not be mutually exclusive -- that rests at the heart of Carpe Fulgur's philosophy.

When we started this company, Andrew and I didn’t really expect to make a ton of money. Recettear was a good game, but actually getting recognized even with a good game is equal parts blind luck and purpose. In the best case, we’d help a Japanese group get some foreign recognition, get them on Steam, and get something for our own resume to bring somewhere else. In the world of the time, it was our best bet at actually getting a job.

Well, we hit the lottery with blind luck, let me tell you that. I couldn’t possibly be thankful enough to the people who made sure we could come this far, who still make sure we can keep going.

After an unsuccessful interview with a localization company in Southern California, Dice recalls talking with Internet friend (and Japanese-language expert) Robin Williams (no, not that Robin Williams) about potentially breaking into the industry on their own.

After briefly considering approaching Gust Corporation about translating their Atelier series of games, Williams suggested reaching out to the developers of an odd little doujin RPG he'd heard about, called Recettear (pronounced Reh-sah-teer). "My reaction was, 'Rece-wha?'" Dice said.

You Want To Do What, Now?

The 2007 Japanese release focuses on a girl who takes over an RPG-style item shop to help pay off her father's debts. With anime-inspired visuals, an old-school, 2D overhead look and a main character that's a fairy, the game doesn't exactly scream American blockbuster. But that didn't hinder Dice in his efforts to bring the game across the ocean.

Recettear's Japanese developer, a group of independent game-makers that goes by the name EasyGameStation, was similarly eager to bring the game to the American market, Dice said. But they were a little wary of Carpe Fulgur.

"It was something of a challenge to convince them that a pair of guys that didn’t even live in the same state together and had no verifiable previous work experience in the game industry were the best people to localize their game," he said.

But Dice said the two independent-minded companies gelled over their outsider status. "[EasyGameStation] operate like a lot of other groups in Japan because they are unincorporated, they are basically just a group of friends that like to make stuff together," he said. "There's sort of a shared mentality there. Once they understood that we were two guys that were mainly doing this because we wanted to, that really helped establish some faith and camaraderie in us."

Once the translation started, Dice said the Carpe Fulgur team found subtle ways to add their own touch to the game. For instance, in the original Japanese, main character Recette constantly repeats the Japanese word for "Yay!" ("Yatta"). In the American translation, Dice changed these outbursts up with silly suffixes, transforming a simple "Yay!" into a "Yayifications!" or a"Yayperoni!" for instance.

"When you actually scripted it out and looked at the original script, it got a little bit repetitious," Dice said. "It wasn’t really unique enough to be a catch phrase, but it was still something that she needed to say, but if you just left it alone it would be monotonous... it would just probably bore the reader a little bit. So I decided to get a little bit creative with all those vanilla 'Yays.'"

There were some odd bits of Japanese culture that were changed for the move across the Pacific as well. For example, the main characters' casual preference for Japanese foods didn't really fit with the game's old-fashioned fantasy French village setting. "It was a little bit weird when you’d have Recette and Tear talking about the poverty of their food, and then they’d be talking about rice and tofu and they were surrounded by very obviously French and Western buildings," Dice said.

What Dice had hoped would be a four-month translation effort on Recettear took roughly twice that long, he said, thanks to some "real life intrusions" and the trials of telecommuting. "I actually still think that if we had been in a central office -- if [Williams] and I didn’t live across the country from each other and have to rely on the internet for networking and what not -- that things could have gotten done a lot faster," he said.
