MangaGamer pulls Da Capo for bug fix
December 26th, 2008, by in Translation
According to MangaGamer’s website, they have discovered a bug in the release and is halting distribution of this product temporarily, with a rerelease date of January 20, 2009. It looks like customers who have bought the game can still download it, but it is no longer available to new customers.
UPDATE: According to a post on MangaGamer’s forums, Da Capo wasn’t supposed to be released on Christmas and was supposed to undergo a final quality check. Supposedly, much of MangaGamer is run by volunteers from the Japanese game companies, who have been very busy preparing for Comiket and may have forgotten to update the date before the website automatically enabled Da Capo for sales.

OVERDRIVE looking for game scripters
December 25th, 2008, by in Translation
It appears that OVERDRIVE, original publisher of MangaGamer’s Edelweiss, has posted a request on their staff blog for three (Japanese) people to help them with the technical process of creating versions of currently released games for an European and American audience, including tuning the scripting in their current games. Apparently, English ability is not a required skill but will result in a fatter paycheck. It looks like the technical aspects of the game engine are handled by OVERDRIVE, while the translation and distribution are handled by MangaGamer. At least this is a good sign that OVERDRIVE wishes to continue in their endeavor. Thanks to TakaJun for the heads up.

MangaGamer releases Da Capo for Christmas
December 25th, 2008, by in Release, Translation
MangaGamer released an English localisation of CIRCUS’s romance adventure game Da Capo today. The game is available as an 800MB download for 49.95 euros and requires activation, as usual. The quality of the English script has substantially increased since the days of Edelweiss, and strangely, the entire game has been ported to Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell from CIRCUS’s own engine.
