[Release] Tokubetsu na Kimi ni Ai no Te wo!

(C79) [Reak (TAKTO)] Tokubetsu na Kimi ni Ai no Te wo! [ENG]

Hoho!  About time, don't you think?  Why most certainly yes... unfortunately, you won't find it here.  But worry not - we've uploaded it in our brand new blog over at wordpress, hosted by none other than Fakku.

So yeah, ahem.  Basically, we're moving to the Wordpress site and we'll probably be working details to get our commissions rolling... that is, assuming Tech comes back from the dead.  As it stands, this blog will serve as an archive for all our previous works.  All newer releases will be on the new blog.

Thanks again for everyone's support in getting us enough attention to be hosted by Fakku.  Do check out our new blog and leave a comment or two. ;)

[update] Fakku blog and Tokubetsu

Swapping over to the Fakku blog is alot harder than simply taking over a domain and clicking a few buttons. We're currently juggling the new blog and making the final changes + staff notes for Tokubetsu so wait for our Fakku blog to get settled down and we'll christen the new blog with Tokubetsu.

The entire blog and some things will be changed once we make the jump, no more status page. Want to know where we are with a certain project? Ask one of us personally. Others I can't seem to remember right now.

Also, very bored. Come spam / talk / entertain / suggest new projects to me personally via msn ; gteamtranslators@gmail.com. If you happen to be a fellow scanslator, please mention it so I can group you properly. (ΘεΘ; )

[status + update] RIP & Yay!

First, my computer died.

I come back from my Asia trip and try to boot it up only to find it just sits there like a brick. Did a little tinkering and thought it might of been a faulty power supply. Brought it over to my friends shop to find out that the entire computer has virtually rusted over since my room had an open window combined with a high humidity thanks to San Francisco's famous fog. Was able to salvage some parts (main PSU, 4GB 1333mz x3, ATI v4800's, all hard drives, sound card) but the rest is now rusted junk sitting in my garage. Anyway, I've decided to build a new one ASAP but still working out the parts I should use... Currently looking into a setup ;

• Rampage 3 extreme (or a SuperMicro board)
• i7 960
• EVGA GTX 580's 1536MB SLI
• HAF X case
• SSD for boot (not sure which since I don't want to raid 0 raptors)
• Replace all HD's that are not 2nd gen Blk Caviars with Blk Caviars

I guess I my computer dying was the perfect excuse to rebuild eh?

Anyway, Tokubetsu is nearly done and about to go through its final QC so keep your pants on (or off) and sit on it (or don't).

















Fakku offered to host me.

[status + request] Tokubetsu & chat

Hey guys, I originally had planned to release a post yesterday with a raw chatlog of how we here at Genesis get shit down but MSN imploded the chatlogs and I had to manually edit it to resemble anything readable... only to find it still didn't work. Anybody know of a good FREE IM program that makes it easy to copy paste conversations directly on to blogger without any format fuckups?

Anyway, update. Tokubetsu is going through its 2nd QC and after that, the final 'ready to be released' QC so expect it 'soon'.

[update] Almost there...

Yeah, I'm still on hiatus.  I'm really sorry guys... I'm just so busy in real life.

But there's something to look forward to.  My hiatus status will soon be lifted (by the end of the week), and we have an unexpected release (it starts with Nise and ends with kai) that will come out along with my return to "work" here on genesis.  Now that's something to look forward to, indeed. ;)

And regarding reak... it's almost done. :)  So yeah, we have to make it up to you guys - we really do.  That and the fact that I've got a hoard of translating to do with all the work set aside... sigh.  Whoopdeedoo...

[Update] Not yet dead... again.

Just messing around and tidying things up in RL.  Tech is back from wherever it is he went, but is still trying to wrestle our editors for typesets, so that's pulling back our releases a bit.  I, on the other hand, haven't been working on much translations - but once I get this week over with, I'll be working on some already on standby.

In particular, I'll be working on a special "touhou surprise" that even Tech isn't privy to.  Let's just say that I'll be working on a couple extra projects on the side - all with a touhou flare.  We need more touhou on our roster, I think.  About high tide I got that up and running.

So this month is starting on a lul, but I apologize in advance because it isn't going to get kicking until much later.  Still, do have a visit to our archives if anything should interest you.

[news + rant] Fanime and GT

Omg, 3 blog posts in a day and within minutes of each other?
It's finally here, I'll be there roaming around looking at god knows what for some lulz and just relax for awhile.

Anyway, team related stuff :

• After Fanime, I'll get started asap on busting out nurnrunrurnurnrurnurururrnur chapters 3-4 for a duo release considering how long the scripts have been gathering dust.
• I already sent the script for Tokubetsu (Takto) to Noel, go figure how long she will take to typeset this.
• We've picked up another project, thing is, its handwritten so the progress (what progress) is rather slow.

I'll be back Monday.          -Tech


P.S. : If you are actually attending and you see a giant wood / cardboard Domo-kun, hug / attack / glomp / (whatever).

P.P.S : If you are going and want to see me IRL, I'll be wearing a 'V for Vendetta' mask.

[update] Need blog posts for releases

Yeah, I need the blog page release thing stuff to release a new project along with Oshiete 1-3 compilation. I'll try to get Tokubetsu out before I leave for Fanime on Thursday but no promises, Nurnurnurnurnur will be a ch3+4 combined release for the delay and I'll get that out after I come back on Monday.

Also, I'm rewatching something that I watched long ago, +1 if you recognise it.

-Tech


Post hijack: Sorry for all the delays.  I'll admit it's my fault the group is coming to a halt in releases, and I've repaid Tech by bitch slapping him with sharp-tongued responses.  RL is getting the better of me so it seems.

Still, I'd like to update people that I'll be in this "twilight zone" like state until the first or second week of June.  We have quite a backlog atm, so that means you can be rest assured that releases will still come out little by little.  Packaging and release preparation issues aside, they're all pretty much ready for release.  I just won't be working on any translations (Oreimo or otherwise) for quite some time.

That said, I'll see you guys around whenever I can.  Ciao.   ~ EdMX

[update] Fuck, new release in 3 days, Promise!

Promise you guys a release within 3 days, RL shit has us all on edge.

[update] Not dead... Yet

Kind of how I'm feeling right now... Anyway, the team isn't dead, just a bit behind at the moment. I finally got around to watching Aria and well, feeling too damn lazy to do any cleaning or typesetting for that matter. I'll probably get started once I wake up after I go to sleep when I finish the blog post.

Anyway, Ed has finally returned to this hospital (and fer fucks sake, he isn't terminally ill or anything, he is a DOCTOR) so the team has been scrambling around to see what is going on, we now officially have two different copies of Oshiete chapter 3, one typesetted by Harmonian and one typesetted by Noel. Fuck.

I have no clue how did this screw up happen, I told Ed like 6 times that I wanted Noel to typeset chapter 3 for consistency's sake since she did chapters 1&2 but he wanted an LWB/TV editor because to him, that's the consistency. Whatever, idiot. Since I don't really want to waste either copy, we'll be using Harmonian's copy for the individual chapter and Noels for the chapter 1-3 compilation.     TL:DR - Expect chapter 3 within 2-3 days

The Reak(Takto) project is still looking for a set of cleans which I'll be doing my self (again) since the last 4 versions all have problems (mostly leveling and staff issues) so once I finally manage to get a proper clean, Noel will typeset this so expect this out within a week max.    TL:DR - Expect it in a week

Nurunurunurnurnur whatever it's called will be released... soon. Not sure when.
Lazy - Soon

-Tech
/end rant

P.S. Holy shit, I haven't done one of these in like... 4 months, I also remember how BAD I am at these...

ERRATA : New poll is actually VERY relevant to how we will prioritize our projects, so vote.

[Update] Staff things...

So we're kinda restructuring the staff at the moment.  Unfortunately, I won't be around much anymore because I'm heading back to the hospital in a day... Work will pile up again, and most likely you won't see much work getting done on my end - which is why I prepared some kind of backlog just in case.

That means a big lag in the progress of Oreimo PSP, since at the moment it appears that I'm the chief translator for the time being.  Still, I hope to do a script a day at the least - but honestly, that's pushing it on my end.

So that's just a heads up.  Another translator would be great, though. *whistles*

[Update] Heads up.

(Cookie points to whoever knows the relationship between Azunyan and Kirino. :P)

You might have noticed that our releases have been coming out rather successively.  Two reasons for this: 1) The backlog is finally moving, and 2) I'm extremely free at the moment.  But the latter won't be so for long.  In fact, I won't be working on any new scripts for the blog until the end of the week, and maybe even a few days after that.  Come May, I'll be back in the hospital... so chances are, this past week is the only time I would have ever had to have released so many scripts at once.

And it's not only the genesis scripts I'm talking about.  I've been busy on the "other end" by working on scripts for Oreimo PSP, which by the way could REALLY use another translator.  If you know anyone who might be interested, please send them flying over to that link.

Back back to genesis matters, there's still much to expect.  There still IS a backlog (surprisingly), and whether that be a good or bad thing is a matter of question... because it's not only me who's going to be gone till the end of the week... but even Tech is gonna disappear in a few hours for the whole of April 20 for some weird annual pot thingy that I can't come to grips with understanding, other then the fact that people really like getting smashed that badly.  Please do me a favor and make sure you get back in one piece, 'kay?

So as a heads up, expect a little slow down in the releases compared to the first half of this month.  Still, we have some pretty good releases coming up.  More Kamino Ryu-ya (because we lurve her), a relatively new artist "Reak" who has promising talent (and interesting story choices), and a long overdue Azunyan that SHOULD have been done ages ago.

Lastly, we're kinda getting a lot of applications for editor, but none for translator?  C'mon, really?  I feel like a lone wolf, right now... I could sure use some company. :(

[Update] Just because...

Just because I'm bored at the moment.  Well, more like waiting on Tech regarding a part on typesetting chapter 11 of Sanshimai.  He's making me use this weird program that basically allows him to watch everything I'm doing, and he can even move around my mouse and control my cursor and what not.  It's kinda like having a stalker watch you and you know it. D:

Suffice it to know that Sanshimai Ch. 11 is almost done, but I'm procrastinating at the moment.  Don't mind me, I'm just excited because my new Computer is shipping in today, and that means a BIG boost in terms of my productivity.  It'll also mean I can evaluate more thoroughly leveling problems, which were brought up in the last release.

Oh... and did I mention I'm look for translators?  Not just for the gTeam, but for the Oreimo PSP project, as well.  You don't expect me to translate the entire thing by myself now, do you?  Good boy.

Lastly, you might have noticed the new poll.  I'm pretty convinced that Ryu-ya is a girl (based on her style of story writing, etc.), but wind has come my way that Ryu-ya was seen at a recent comiket and confirmed to be a man. D:  Do you believe it?  I most certainly don't want to...  So feel free to vote on what you think he/she/it is.

[News] Re-decorating

Housekeeping update:

• Kraut is fired.  I'm not too sure about the details, but he's resigning from active duty on the team (what active duty) as of this post.
• Scripted has been promoted (or demoted, I dunno) to backup editor.
• Dask and Lyon are designated as main editors
• Tech is cleaning and redrawing as we speak! D:
• ...and hopes to become main editor some day.  *gasp!*
• Ed is currently juggling several big projects, including Sanshimai Ch. 11 (currently typsetting), Oreimo PSP (already have scripts), and other not-so-interesting things.
• Another Kamino work coming out in the next 12 hours (supposedly).

That's basically it.  Oreimo PSP gets special mention, but I'll be working on it at the background.  Do check the Oreimo PSP TLWiki page for updates regarding that project.  Expect a release later on in the day, till then, see ya guys around. :)

[Update] Now Loading...

I'm getting there, don't worry.

Besides being at the final stretch for the year (with paperwork and whatnot), things are proceeding as normal behind the gteam banner.  Though I wasn't able to bring out as many releases as I would've like last weekend, it's better than nothing, I guess.

Hopefully, I'll be back to regular translating come next week.  Otherwise, I've already offered myself as a staff in translating Oreimu PSP, but the project is stalled because the hacker is having a hard time extracting the scripts.  If someone out there would be so kind as to help the chap out - by all means, please do.  I'm pretty sure there's a good handful of you out there who'd love to play the game (especially since it features story lines AFTER the events of the "GOOD ROUTE" of the anime series)... so if you know someone, please send them flying over to that link. :D

[Update] Sorry...

Still nothing, I know... This is gonna turn into a "personal blog" at this rate if I don't get something out soon... which is why I promise something will come out by the weekend.  Besides a mountain of paperwork I need to finish (I'm nearing the end of the term), I have one more character arc to complete in Oreimo PSP.

Speaking of which, a friend of mine caught me playing and asked me "why don't you translate PSP games, as well?"  Well... sounds like a good idea, and since I'm a fan of Oreimo, I wouldn't mind... but how exactly DO you patch things like this?  It's not like I know anyone in the PSP scene, either, who can actually tinker things like this.  Still, if someone threw me the scripts to translate, I'd be glad to help.

And on a completely unrelated note, I've finally found scans to the ROBOT super manga project I've been eyeing... although it's only volumes 7 to 10... so that leaves volume 6 up in the clouds.  Still, it's better than nothing, and given I've found someone willing to edit this work, things are looking good for the project in that respect.  Let's hope for the best on that endeavor.

Back on track, what's coming out?  Well, we have one release ready to present our newest member to the gTeam family - and it's a full color DECENSOR at that.  Sweet.  We also have my long-awaited azunyan coming out (hopefully), and though it's incest and whatnot, it's still good stuff nonetheless.  There's also a P&S doujin featuring our uptight kneesocks, so that's something to look forward to.  We have 2 chapters of a Kamino tank readying release, so let's hope that will come out soon.  And finally, Chapter 11 of Sanshimai is still going through release as scheduled, and will most likely come out within the 1st week of April - as promised, haha!

So yeah, our releases have been clumping together, but we're still alive, right?  Hope you guys haven't given up on us.  Again, if anyone would like to shoot me clues as to how I can help with any translations for Oreimo PSP, feel free to.  I'd be more than happy to help.

[Update] Yeah... busy.

This is "just-in-case-you-thought-we're-dead" post.  RL has become a little bit busy for me (that and the fact that I'm hooked on to Oreimo Portable...), and Tech is basically pre-occupied at the moment as well... That said, things will slow down a bit.

But just so you know, we have a couple works on the waiting for release.  One, in particular, was done by a new recruit, so we'll be introducing him soon. :)

Otherwise, sorry for the delay in any releases.  Now... I have to go and start the Ayase arc... teehee...

[Update] Blog stuff

EdMX says: "Hell yeah!  Push her down!!!"

Some site-keeping updates for everyone.  The Release Page is up and running, again.  Hopefully, the new format looks more organized.  Plus, all the links are updated and confirmed to be working.  If anything isn't in order, please inform us using the reply feature on the same page.

I also updated the Request Page.  The old page looked kinda "unaccommodating", so I changed the wording and allowed for replies for people to just place a link to their requests.  The same rules apply regarding requests, as before - it's just that these guidelines were reworded to sound less "mean".  Though this is my personal opinion, please feel free to throw us your requests.  Though I know we have a lot of things on our plate, at the moment, seeing a good request or two is always welcome - and it helps to clean the palate, so to speak.

The Status Page has also been updated to become less wordy.

I also took down the old Random page and replaced it with a Recruitment Page.  Interested parties are welcome to send in an application of interest.  Though we recently got Noel to work for us, we're still looking for at least one more editor and one translator, so by all means send us an email. :)

Oh, and lastly... Noel has been added to the About Us Page, lul.

[News] Now Recruiting!

It was really just a matter of time... and from just 4 obviously distracted sods, we're thinking of expanding a little bit.  Editor-wise, we're looking for skill.  Translator-wise, I'm just looking for someone to help me with the load.  Here's the rundown:

Editor Wanted!
Job description - In charge of anything related to editing images, which includes image enhancement, cleaning, and typesetting.  Ideally, the editor should have the following qualities:

• Has experience using any photo editing software, preferably Adobe Photoshop
• Knows how to edit images based on levels and curves
• Can clean images for both written text and noticeable noise/dirt/distortions
• Can redraw images that require them, such as text overlays or translucent bubbles
• Knows how to typeset
• Has a commanding knowledge of the English language, and can proofread translator scripts

The last bullet means that an Editor doesn't just copy-pasta what is written on the script.  Editors are expected to give good input and correspond with the script writer appropriately so that QC becomes much easier.

Translator Wanted!

Job description - In charge of making scripts in the prescribed script format of the gTeam (will be taught), as well as coordinating translation projects with other members of the team or other teams, in general.  Ideally, the translator should have the following qualities:

• Has a working understanding of the Japanese language - specifically, at least JLPT 3
• Is not a weeabo.  (I can tell if your shit is real.  Don't mess with me.)
• Open to criticism and having their work T/L checked prior to release
• Corresponds regularly with editors regarding their script during any phase of scanlating

Translator qualities are pretty straightforward.  Even if you're new to this, so long as you're willing to learn or put your Japanese skills to use, then try applying.

If you're interested, simply send us an email at gteamtranslators@gmail.com, and leave what position you want to apply for in the message header as so:

Application - Editor or Application - Translator

If you have any previous projects that you'd like to send along with your application, feel free to do so - but please limit them to g.e-hentai links, or if they're non-h, upload them to a image sharing site like imageshack. 

At the moment, we're looking for at least 2 editors and 1 translator.  If and when you are selected, we might give you a few mini-projects to test your skills before sending you out the fray on any major releases.  Thanks for taking the time to read this, and hopefully - welcome to the gTeam! :D
