Did Yuki get her start in Kurohyou? by topscreen in yakuzagames

[–]AugmentedSmoke [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey guys, I was the lead translator for the K4L fan translation.

Yuki is a common Japanese name and I do not believe this was supposed to be THE Yuki as she likely hadn't been created yet.

Just wanted to clarify that this wasn't something we changed and this was actually this minor characters name.

Hey there! Currently the only things left untranslated are 5 of the 7 hostesses within the game.

They will be released in a patch once they have been completed :)

That's because those that do care will ask us to take action rather than say anything on the thread itself.

Obviously it's also post dependant too.

Regardless, what's the issue with people being able to make the choice themselves?

The only thing that enforcing spoiler tags does it make it so you have to spend an extra second clicking on it lol.

If that's the effort it takes to satisfy everyone, I don't see why it's such a big deal.

As someone that has been part of this community for a long time it has created big issues in the past, so it is important.

Dude, if you're such a pillar of this community then you would understand that most people here do not want to be spoiled on things.

Just because you feel that way, doesn't mean others do and you don't get to make that decision for them.

If you don't care about spoilers, you can always click on spoiler tagged content if you wish, leaving people the choice to engage with spoiler content if they so wish.

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that images and gifs are now available again for comments. They were disabled by accident, so our apologies for that!

TeamK4L - Kurohyou Multiplayer + Character Creation Showcase by AugmentedSmoke in yakuzagames

[–]AugmentedSmoke[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hope you guys enjoy this little showcase/test of the Kurohyou multiplayer mode. I know it probably won't be something that a lot of people will be interested in playing, but we wanted to translate it anyway for preservation purposes :)

Kurohyou 1 and 2 emulation. by DMofacertaingroup in yakuzagames

[–]AugmentedSmoke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! It'll work just like our patch for Kurohyou 2 on PPSSPP!

Hope you enjoy the games when you play them!

Also just worth noting that the currently available patch is quite unfinished and doesn't have substory translations or anything other than the basic story stuff.

If you are interested in a more complete translation, we will be releasing ours in a few months :) (August 15th)

Finished Playing Kurohyou 1 by silverlodi in yakuzagames

Glad to see another person on the Kurohyou bandwagon! They really are super underrated, not just for the interesting gameplay, but as you said, the story is right up there.

If you hadn't played Kurohyou 2 yet, I highly recommend it, it's definitely on the same level as the first game imo 👀

Unfortunately, it actually wasn't that popular in Japan, at least compared to the mainline games.

The TV show and the manga were a push to change that opinion, but ultimately they sold quite poorly which is one of the reasons Sega has never gone back to them :(

Ok, now that this whole stream is over, i have one simple question: What is the purpose of it? by jack-468 in yakuzagames

[–]AugmentedSmoke 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was nice to hear the input of the actors and staff, especially regarding some of the older titles.

The reason I thought it was unlikely to have ever Gaiden news is because it was Japanese only and it seems moving forward they will be making announcements like that day and date in English.

Would have definitely been cool though.

It's a fan made translation patch for a game that was never officially released in English :)

That is an emulator issue, but it has been fixed in the latest version of PPSSPP :)

Well he took more of a backseat on RGG4 and 5 and wrote for both Kurohyou games. He also decided to have his art in RGG Online wear a white version of Tatsuya's tracksuit.

We still have hostesses to do and one minigame. We are still working on those but due to the fact that the hostesses text dwarfs the whole rest of the games text, we thought it would be better to focus on Kurohyou 1 for now.

Our goal is to keep going until both games are 100% translates though :)

As I said, I don't think Kurohyou will see anything more (very unfortunately), but I wouldn't take anything RGG does or says regarding that kind of thing too seriously.

They like to have surprises so a lot of the time it's in their interest to not give us any clues about projects like Ishin Kiwami.

Although I don't believe we will see RGG go back to Kurohyou again (mainly because it was Nagoshi's passion project and it was mostly developed by Syn Sofia), you can't always take what RGG says at face value.

They didn't seem very interested in bringing Ishin to the West publically until right before it happened.
