Any updates regarding LB EX?
TGES:
Was wondering when there would be a official update in regards to the LB EX status, ever since Rokudaime left the mix there has been little in the way of updates.
Keep up the good work.
Rokudaime:
Yeah, I took my job seriously. Looks like there aren't anyone around who are willing to spend much time answering questions and post updates these days. Tsk tsk. :P
TGES:
Proven by the fact you were the first/only to reply.
Here are some questions I have if anyone can answer these I would be grateful.
Is the project dead?
If not what is needed to get it across the line?

Well, isn't needed any official answer to know this, the project is dead, more than 6 months without any update, Clannad is the same. is a shame that they have only 1/2 saya to finish, and they aren't doing a shit

Nope. You're wrong. I don't know about LB (though I assume it's the same with them), but Clannad is being worked on (I know this from visiting the VN channel on IRC), though like I said before I quit, it'll likely be at least another 2 years before it's finished at the rate it's going. But anyway, many of you guys are apparently under two misconceptions, that I'll point out for you:
1. You believe translating VN's takes months of work, and no more than a year. This is wrong. It usually takes several years. All the more so if it's a huge VN like those that Key have made.
2. You believe that no updates for a long time means a project is dead. This is not necessarily true. Sometimes VN fansub groups go for ages without saying anything about the progress, and then all of a sudden you'll see a release post out of nowhere instead of an update post. I myself have seen this happen many times with different VN's translated by different groups.
This may be due to the fact that oftentimes, there isn't much to report or say when it comes to the progress, as it would often just be how much of the text has been translated, and it's often hard to make an arbitrary percentage measurement of how much text is left to translate. Then there are other things that needs to be done that are even harder to measure.
Another reason could be that the group simply doesn't feel like it needs to provide you with constant updates all the time, and I'm inclined to agree with them if this is the case (I have a sneaking suspicion that it is). You just need to be a lot more patient, and less demanding, and get used to it, like me. I've downloaded English patches for several VN's over the years, and I'm used to the projects taking a long time to finish, and there being little in the way of news on the way. I'd say it's more the norm than not. Clannad has been in the works under more than one group, for god knows how many yeras, so at this point another few years to or fro doesn't matter to me. I'll just go and grab the patch once it's eventually done, instead of hanging around waiting and asking for updates all the time, since that would just be pointless, boring, and frustrating most of the time.
Cheers and hang in there. Good things come to those who wait. ;-)
